November 3, 2022 | amattacola

This poor girl needs to know if her boyfriend belongs to the streets. It sounds like he’s got a problem. He took the phrase, ‘if you don’t use it, you lose it’ to a whole new level.

Am I The Jerk? This week’s possible jerk has an eggcellent question

November 3, 2022 | amattacola

This week’s Jerk did something a lot of us have done- it’s how he handled it that makes him the Jerk, according to his wife at least.

I dropped a dozen eggs on the ground at Meijer and just walked away and pretended it wasn’t me. There was stuff everywhere and I panicked and ran. My wife thinks I’m a jerk on multiple levels but I want your guys opinion. Am I a jerk for this? 

Elon is going to charge you $8 a month for your blue check mark

November 2, 2022 | amattacola

Elon Musk is now planning on charging an extra $8 for Twitter’s ‘Blue Service.’ The sought after verified blue check mark is a part of it. It check means that your accountant, or your company’s account has been verified by Twitter as real. Musk said, those with the Blue Service would have priority with replies, mentions and search options and would be able to post longer videos and audios. They would see half as many ads. More than 80% of users said that they would not participate in a recent survey. 10% said that they were willing to pay $5 a month, but not $8. Bestselling author Stephen King tweeted: “If that gets instituted, I’m gone like Enron.”

A man won $30 mil in the lottery, and didn’t tell his family

November 2, 2022 | amattacola

A man who identified himself as “Mr. Li” collected his jackpot of about $30 million on October 24th, in the southern region of China called, Guangxi. He dressed up as a yellow cartoon to hide who he really is, and he has zero plans of telling his wife and kid. Why? ‘I did not tell my wife and child for fear that they would be too complacent and would not work or work hard in the future,’ he told the local news. He bought 40 tickets all with the same numbers- 2, 15, 19, 26, 27, 29, and 2. When he realized that he won, he took a train to the capital and stayed in a hotel over the weekend. He didn’t leave because he was scared of losing the tickets. He received his prize money on Monday, paid the tax, then donated a portion to charity. He’s been playing the lottery for over a decade and has stuck with the same several numbers for years now. Does he plan to tell his family in the future? Probably not.

David Chase confirms Tony Soprano’s fate from the final episode

November 1, 2022 | amattacola

Is he dead?! Is the cable out?! Fans of the Soprano’s were screaming at the TV in 2007 wondering what in the heck just happened. Creator David Chase has confirmed that Tony Soprano, did indeed die at the end of the series. Chase originally wanted to have him murdered in New York because the show began with him driving from New York home to New Jersey at the beginning of every episode. His thought was to have it reversed, then he dies. Then he had an idea to just have Tony meet his fate in a small diner. The infamous scene sounds simple, but the suspense of everything that was going on, drove people watching to the edge of their seat. Suddenly, everyone that you never saw die in the series went flying through your brain. Who is coming for Tony now? We never know what exactly happens, but an unknown man walks in, and sits at the counter, Meadow enters, then it goes black. But now we can be sure that he is dead. Pour one out for Tony.

Relationship Court: Can you hook up with no strings attached?

November 1, 2022 | amattacola

In this week’s relationship court, listener Rachel wants to know if she can hook up with an ex, with no feelings involved. This never turns out well girlfriend.

Ahoy BAJ dating sucks and I’ve been in a dry spell for the last six months. Out of nowhere my ex texted me last night asking me to come over. We had a toxic relationship that lead to a pretty ugly break up. In no way am I interested in getting back together with him but I am down for a hook up. I’ve never casually hooked up with an ex before, i’m worried that somehow feelings may come back and I find myself back in a unhealthy situation. Do you think it’s a good idea to hook up if we both agree to keep it casual? I haven’t responded to his text yet because I don’t know what to do. Also, why the hell are all the good guys either gay or married? It’s a cesspool out here of left behinds and weirdo’s. I’m hoping you can help a girl out! My daughter Gwen and I love your show and listen every morning. Keep up the great work and we look forward to seeing you at Portugal The Man! 

With love,

Rachel xoxo

A family made their beloved dog into a beloved, rug?

November 1, 2022 | amattacola

Owner of Chimera Taxidermy, Maddy, recently made a rug out of a Golden Retriever for a family that lost their beloved pet. She said more and people are going this route of honoring their animal and to remember them everyday. A lot of people just don’t get it. Why wouldn’t you just have the dogs ashes or something, right? Maddy said the idea isn’t for everyone but claimed “… it’s more rewarding to be able to help people with their grief and allow them to keep a part of their pet forever.” Some people really like it because they get to see their stuffed kitty on the mantle just like the old days. Whatever makes you happy I guess. Personally, if you’re going to the route of taxidermy, why not just try to clone the pet at that point. Have them around still, just in a slightly different version. Taxidermy just seems a little too haunting for my taste. – Ali

This NASCAR driver pulled a stunt straight out of a video game

November 1, 2022 | amattacola

Watch NASCAR driver Ross Chastain pull a maneuver straight out of an EA sports game. It was the last lap and he was in 10th place at Martinsville. He drove his car into the wall and then he accelerated to pass cars in the final lap on the third and fourth turns giving him 5th place and advancing him to the NASCAR Cup Series championship race. The 2022 Cup Series championship winner-take-all title race is in Phoenix on Nov. 6. “Played a lot of NASCAR 05 on the Gamecube with [brother] Chad growing up and you can get away with it,” Chastain said. “And I never knew if it would actually work. I did that when I was 8 years old.”

Forget the 10,000 steps challenge, these shoes will make you walk less

October 31, 2022 | amattacola

These shoes are called Moonwalkers, and they are changing the name of the game. The hi-tech shoes are expected to be released next year. The makers boast that these shoes will make the average person go 250% faster, especially good for urban areas where it doesn’t make sense to own a car. As more and more people are weary about taking public transportation, this is a great option for warmer weather.

Moonwalkers are not skates, even though they look like them, the company located in Pennsylvania said. “They’re highly engineered additions to your shoes that you strap on and walk at the speed of a run,” they added. Shift Robotics CEO Xunjie Zang went to study at Carnegie Mellon’s Robotic Institute and spend four years working on locomotion, then finally he solved the problem of slow walking. He used to take a scooter to work, then almost got hit by a car leading him to want another solution, hence Moonwalkers. You can get them next year for low price of $1,400, yikes.

You won’t believe why this guy didn’t get the job

October 31, 2022 | amattacola

You won’t believe why this guy didn’t get the job- it’s not because he wasn’t qualified, let’s just say that. He was over-qualified in some areas in fact. HE CLAIMS he didn’t get the gig because of his natural born talents, his D was too big. Yes, his excuse, or reasoning, for failing his interview was that they couldn’t handle his special purpose from God. Unbelievable. That’s a new one. Maybe he was just a little too “eager” to be there. The interviewer was probably frightened by the fact that he couldn’t control himself. They claimed “his attire wasn’t right.” He actually didn’t have any excitement at the time, he’s just blessed, but still jobless. Watch-

A new 58-mile bike trail will connect West Michigan to Chicago

October 31, 2022 | amattacola

Construction on a 58-mile, non-motorized bike path that will connect West Michigan to Chicago is set begin next year. Starting in New Buffalo Michigan, the Marquette Greenway Trail Project will go through Indiana and end at Calumet Park on Chicago’s southeast side. The Illinois part is done already, but the Indiana portion won’t be finished until early 2027. The Michigan portion will be constructed in two phases, both will be ready by 2025. What are you waiting for Indiana? Let’s go! Funding for the project is coming from a handful of federal, state and local grants including a $17.8 million grant from U.S. Department of Transportation to the Northwest Indiana Regional Planning Commission. It’ll take a little bit of time, but until then bikers, you can ride around here in Chicago and surrounding burbs in your cute little outfits. You’ll have to wait a few years to go all the way to Michigan along the lake shore free of traffic from cars. -Ali
