While White Sox closer Liam Hendriks continues to battle non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the team has rallied around him with a new campaign to show their support. ‘Close Out Cancer’ t-shirts are available at whitesox.com/TeamLiam with proceeds going to the Lymphoma Research Foundation.
We wish Hendriks the best as he continues his battle.
Lebron James is closing in on greatness. At the time of this writing, he sits a mere 36 points away from breaking the all-time scoring record that is currently held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. His next two opportunities to break the record will come at home vs. the Thunder on Tuesday and against the former world champion Bucks on Thursday, both of which will be nationally broadcasted games on TNT. Tickets to the Thunder game are $284,50% higher than the team’s season average, according to ticket retailer StubHub.
Courtside tickets for Tuesday’s game cost around $48,403 and Thursday’s an eye-watering $68,995, according to retailer TickPick.
James will pass the scoring record with 38,388 points. For reference, Michael Jordan sits fifth all-time with 32,292 points.
The Lakers currently sit at 25-29 and are two games out of the Western Conference Play-In Tournament, but hey, this is cool, too.
It’s been awhile since Mockingbird came out, huh? Hailie Jade, host of the Just a Little Shady podcast, is now engaged. She’s been with her man for six years and over the weekend, she took to Instagram to announce their next step.
The three-song set “Love From The Other Side”, “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark” and “Centuries” was backed by the Central Florida Community Arts Symphony Orchestra and accompanied by a pyrotechnical show!
As Justin said, sometimes the Internet blesses you with a video like this. Consider yourself blessed.
We apologize for putting this video out into the world, but we feel like we must share this weirdness.
Few bands have lasted as long as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and no one’s longevity has been more surprising than the L.A. quarter. It seems impossible that they’ve been around for as long as they have and are subsequently as old as they are now, but that is simply the magic of the Chili Peppers. The 60 Minutes camera crew caught up with them for a rare, honest, and intimate interview to celebrate this milestone.
If anyone can play when they’re 100, it would be Flea. Here’s to another 40, RHCP.
Tuck your package, boys, because she’s packing.
A few weeks ago we talked about a woman who had her address posted online on a brothel website, leading to swarms of men showing up and expecting sex. Camera crews recently caught up with the woman, who has had enough of this horny nonsense.
She now carries a loaded pistol with her to keep men away from her, but that has not slowed the stream of neanderthals coming her way.
British duo and Twisted Xmas alumni Wet Leg scored big last night at the Grammys, taking home both Best Alternative Album for their self-titled record, beating out Big Thief, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and others, and best Alternative Performance for their song “Chaise Lounge”.
Hardcore darlings and personal favorites of Brian & Justin, Turnstile, were nominated for three different categories. When it came to Best Metal Performance, they were beat out by a man on death’s doorstep in Ozzy Osbourne. Fine. Whatever. I don’t like it, but I can accept it. When it comes to Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance, however, Turnstile was beat out by Brandi Carlisle and her snoozer track “Broken Horses”. There’s nothing wrong with Brandi Carlisle, she seems like a nice lady, but no one is more sterile than she is. She’s fine if you want to honor someone at The Kennedy Center, but Best Rock Song? In the year of our Lord 2023? When Turnstile is doing the damn thing? I think not. This is this generation’s Jethro Tull-Metallica situation all over again.
Elsewhere, hip-hop celebrated 50 years of kicking ass with an incredible ensemble performance.

In 2016, a priest named Gerald Johnson suffered a heart attack and claims to have died for some time and gone to hell. He gave out the details of this brief afterlife experience on his TikTok account. Johnson initially thought that he was ascending towards heaven because of the work he did in the world of the living while he was alive.
Instead, he later discovered that he was spiraling downwards, away from the pearly gates. Besides hearing Rihanna’s song being played by the demons, the priest went on to give a vivid detailing of the things he saw there, as per him he saw a man “walking on all fours like a dog and getting burned from head to toe. His eyes were bulging, and worse than that: He was wearing chains on his neck. He was like a hellhound. There was a demon holding the chains.”
This man went viral on TikTok yesterday for his multi-step process for reheating pizza.
How do you do it? The conversation lives on Facebook!
I have to be honest – I’ve missed these two. For the last six months, Hollywood’s oddest couple has been away from the headlines and it’s made the world less fun. This is the type of stuff that I log onto the Internet for. In a recent interview, she noted, “He’s literally my exact physical type that I’ve been manifesting since I was 4. I’m also four years older than him. So, I think I made him.” She went on to say, “My thoughts and intentions grew him into the person that he is, who knows what he would’ve looked like or been like if it wasn’t for me.”
Never change, you two. Keep on being weird.

A man has filed a defamation lawsuit against a Florida sheriff who posts weekly “Wheel of Fugitive” videos on social media, saying that he wasn’t a fugitive when his name and image appeared several times in 2021 in the sheriff’s posts inspired by the long-running TV game show “Wheel of Fortune.” The man behind the lawsuit is David Gay, who lost his job after his face appeared on the wheel as a missing fugitive. He is seeking more than $50,000 in damages.
A spokesman for the sheriff’s office on Monday didn’t respond to an emailed inquiry seeking comment about the lawsuit, but Ivey has told the Associated Press that “everybody watches it.”
Under HD.3822, a bill filed in the Massachusetts State House last month, incarcerated individuals could shave two months to one year off of their prison sentence in exchange for bone marrow and organ donations. According to Rep. Carlos Gonzalez, a vocal supporter of the bill, this was inspired by his close friend who requires dialysis three to four times a week while he awaits a kidney transplant.
Michael Cox, a progressive voice in the state, noted, “When I saw the bill, it just smacked as unethical and depraved. And the reason is because it is unethical to sell organs; it is unethical to incentivize the selling of organs for very, very good reasons.”
Citing his own experience in the prison system, Cox explained that earning “good time,” or credit-based early release, is difficult to do, as the demand for applicable programming far outpaces availability.
More information on the bill can be found here.
