Take it from me, this beauty hack is not worth it ladies! I just ate the hottest chip on the planet, so when I heard that people are putting Hot Ones, hot sauce on their lips to make them more plump, I said nay. This has to be one of the worst ideas ever. If your lips actually do get bigger, it’s because they’re having a terrible reaction to something that shouldn’t be on them in the first place. This woman tries it in this TikTok and it’s a disaster. “I look like that fool from Monster’s Inc!” she screams. Even she admits that it’s her worst idea ever. As someone who almost died from spice, I urge you NOT to do this! -Ali
Who’s Karen Is It?! This deputy mayor of NYC wants to control your speeding, stop this Karen!
The National Transportation Safety Board is trying to get car manufacturers to add a feature that would prevent people from breaking the speed limit. Meera Joshi, a Deputy Mayor of New York City, wants people to start using an alarm-based system that can ‘help.’ It’s called a ‘governor’ and they’ve been on cars for years, but it was to stop them from going over 155mph, not 55mph. The new feature they’re talking about uses GPS to pinpoint where you are . . . check the speed limit . . . and prevent you from going over it. They’re testing it out on city official vehicles to see how it works. If it does go well, they’ll want to have it on cars, for everyone. Someone stop this Karen, NOW! It’s more dangerous to go way under the speed limit, everyone knows that! -Ali
Apple’s new crash detection in iPhones and watches is calling 911 during roller coasters
Apple recently introduced crash detection and it’s supposed to alert 911 when you get into an accident. The iPhone14 and the Apple watch have it. For some people, it keeps calling 911 in less severe circumstances, like riding a roller coaster. One woman was on a ride in Ohio that got up to 53 mph, then stopped abruptly causing her watch to call 911. Screams on the other end could be heard from her recorded call as the riders were terrified, in a good way! That was enough for emergency services to respond to the park. Psych! Just kidding! It’s already happened SIX times from the new technology. Apple claims the brand new tech is extremely accurate, but they will continue to work on it. As for the park, they hope that more people that come have outdated iPhones. -Ali
The Bears will have a new look on Thursday night
For the first time, the Bears are going away from the navy blue helmet and switching it up for orange on their alternate uniforms against the Commanders on Thursday night. Take a look!
In the 2022 season, the NFL dropped their rule for having just one primary color on the helmet letting teams get a little more creative with it. The Bears will also be wearing the orange helmets against the Cowboys on October 30th. The team will wear their orange jerseys in both games. They have a 6-8 record in the orange jerseys so let’s pray! Do we like the new look? Yay or nay? -Ali
When We Were Young just announced their 2023 lineup!

You can register for a presale Friday at 10am and put a down payment on your tickets. I realize I just said down payment, BUT it’s totally worth it if this is your scene because it’s practically all of the bands you grew up with. That’s a priceless experience, right?! “I’m just a kiiiiid, and life is a nightmare!” -Ali
This man is in a relationship with his, car?!
This man, was featured on TLC for having a relationship with his car? Yes. Not only does he go on dates with his car, he also has relations with it. Yes. They hula hoop together. This guy tells his dad what he’s been up to, and his dad is just struggling to understand what is going on! This clip will leave you asking, ‘HOW?’
How would you react if your kid told you that they were having a relationship with an inanimate object? My guess is similar to this father. All I know is, I’d knock first before I go into the garage from there on out! “Everyone decent?” -Ali

Relationship Court: the linemen that are helping Florida are hot commodities!
There’s something really sexy about a guy that will go into an emergency situation and help. These linemen know it! The guys that are helping Florida get back on it’s feet after Hurricane Ian, are taking advantage by updating their Tinder while they’re in town. They’re just letting their “bucket bunnies”- their groupies, know that they’re there! Nothing wrong with that! Unless if they’re already in a relationship- yikes! Some of these guys are out of town for an extended period of time and are putting in extra work with ladies that aren’t their significant other. Scumbags!
Cheating is cheating no matter what zip code you’re in fellas. We can still identify you with a hard hat on when you’re on a dating app. Knock it off! Are the women who know that have a few good nights with them wrong? I say, you can’t blame them. Blame the married man on Tinder first! The person you need to blame is your man. Yes, you’re always going to have women going after you, that doesn’t mean you should take the opportunity. Dirty dogs! -Ali
Did Madonna just come out on her TikTok?
Madonna, the Queen of Pop, might have been trying to tell us something in her recent TikTok. It shows her holding a hot pink pair of granny panties, then below, the text reads, “if I miss, I’m gay.” She misses. Then Madonna gives a whatever look to the camera and walks off.
So is she?! Something tells me if Madonna was actually gay, she would’ve come out years ago. She made a bondage music video for crying out loud. Who remembers “Human Nature?” Madonna is one of the best-selling female artists of all time and is NOT shy. She probably just made this to get people talking, and look what we’re doing. Bravo Madonna. And if she is gay, more power to her. We love you no matter who you love Madonna. -Ali
Green Day made a super fan’s day when they played Wrigley
Green Day recently posted this video to their TikTok. It’s footage from when they played at Wrigley Field. One of the fans in the crowd, that was in the very front and all sweaty, promised Billie Joe that he knew how to play guitar when he asked the crowd for some help on a song. The fan swore up and down that he did, so Billie took a chance and brought him up. The guy watches him play three chords then Billie plops the black guitar over the man and he knew exactly what to do! It’s like he’d secretly been waiting for this moment his entire life! He was a showman! this guy ran straight down the stage like he’s been doing it for years.
And no, this isn’t the first time they’ve done this, in fact, they used to do it at most of their shows. I remember when I saw them in high school, they brought an 8-year-old up on stage and he killed it! I was 16 and that’s when I decided that I could probably learn some chords too. If that kid can, I can! But these videos always warm the heart, and hopefully it’ll inspire one of y ‘al too!

People love to hate her, Kim K got booed at a Rams game!
People love to hate on the Kardashians, yet here they are, out in the world making millions of dollars. Actually it’s more like hundreds of millions of dollars but I digress. They’re just America’s most loved and hated family at the same time. Kim Kardashian, was at a Rams game, so of course they’re going to put her on the jumbotron and she got booed. And we know for sure that she was getting poor treatment because later John Legend wound up on the big screen and he got a more natural response from the crowd and a few cheers. Sorry Kim.
Yes, Kanye’s comments on Twitter probably didn’t help, even though they’re divorced. Let’s give her some credit on ending that nightmare. Don’t boo Kim K when she’s out with her family. Yes, they can seem annoying. But you know what? They wouldn’t be as successful as they all are if nobody cared what they were up to. People still watch and purchase their products, so in the end, they win. Also, I will say, I used to be a big hater on the Kardashians, but that hate has grown into a sort of respect after seeing their hustle. And Khloe’s brand, Good American makes some of the best jeans I’ve ever worn! They’re not all bad! Treat Kardashians with respect! -Ali
Is that a ‘Turb-O-lantern’?
This car owner just raised the bar for what you thought was over the top decorating. Jack-O-lanterns that spew fire are the new must have for this Halloween! Ghost Rider may have some competition…
The best part of Halloween is seeing how creative and cool people get with their decorating and this takes the cake on my list so far. What is your favorite thing about Halloween? Let me know on Facebook!
Man smuggles python in his pants at U.S. Border
A man named Calvin Bautista, which is a delightfully weird name for someone who is surely delightfully weird, was accused of smuggling a python in his pants at the US-Canada border (boomers, please unfurl your knuckles. It wasn’t That Border). He is faced with a federal smuggling charge as pythons are considered “injurious to human beings” and he could face up to 20 years in prison.
Brian, Ali, & Justin are following this story closer than any story we’ve ever covered before, and we will surely have an update when Bautista’s fate is decided.
Naperville named ‘safest town for Trick-or-Treating’ in Illinois
The Karen Capital of the state might actually be good for something. According to a recent poll (conducted by obvious psychopaths), Naperville has been named one of the safest cities in the country when it comes to Trick-or-Treating, and by proxy, the safest in the great state of Illinois. To determine the top 25 cities, researchers analyzed more than 300 census-defined places with a population of 100,000 and compared pedestrian fatalities, violent crime, property crime, the number of registered sex offenders and number of law enforcement employees.
Where is your go-to spot for Trick-or-Treating? Let Brian, Ali, & Justin know on our Facebook page!
President Baugh, leader of micronation in Nevada, in desperate need of another hobby
Something tells me that the type of man that leads a “micronation” is “micro” in many other ways as well. Kevin Baugh received national attention over the weekend when he was interviewed by Insider, who were forced to refer to him as “Your Excellency”. He claims to be a “benevolent dictator” to about 35 people that he rules over on their acre. To Baugh’s credit, he has gone where no man has gone before by asking himself, “what if the Family Guy episode where Peter ran his own country was real life?”
The Republic of Molossia sits in Northern Nevada and seems like a perfect place to hide from your gambling debts once you’ve run out of money on the strip. Baugh claims that the civilians of his nation have “dual-citizenship” with America, but I think we’re building The Wall in the wrong spot. I think the one border that needs to be secured is the border along the Northern Nevada desert.
For more information on their “unique” currency, timezone, and a bunch of other stuff that will annoy you, Insider has you covered. In the meantime, we will be over here, in reality.
Orland Park man blasts “vulgar music” to get kids to stop playing on a playground
An Orland Park property owner has been blasting vulgar music loudly over the last few weeks in an attempt to push the school district to get rid of musical instruments at Prairie Elementary School. The man claims that the musical instrument toys have created a hinderance on his lifestyle and degraded his quality of life ever since they’ve been installed.
Each time the man has blasted music, police tested the noise level to determine if the noise coming from the property owner was in excess of what is allowed by Village Code, and each time it was tested, the noise registered within the Village Code limits.
Is he justified for this? The conversation lives on Facebook!
Brian wrong again, Bears fumble away game in the last minute
I would not want to be Brian Haddad right now. I mean, not that I would ever want to be him ever, but especially right now as Brian stares down the barrel of a 13-4 Bears prediction. The Monsters of the Midway now sit at 2-3 after a brutal, last second fumble that robbed the Bears of a chance to tie the game in the closing moments.
Can we get a proof of life on Bears fans? How are you feeling five weeks into the year? The conversation lives on Facebook!

This AI-generated “Black Hole Sun” video is even creepier than the original
As the events of the 1991 documentary film Terminator 2: Judgement Day continue to play out before us, marching us closer and closer to the days the machines takeover — you might not be aware of this fun fact: AI is now able to generate images and video based upon text input!
Metal Injection has reported on existence of music videos pieced together from still images created from the emotive content of the lyrics. And the latest is “Black Hole Sun” from Soundgarden. Keep in mind, the images are all created by artificial intelligence, not a human:
That article also dives into how this is all possible — and you can also see other videos based upon lyrics from Queen, Metallica, and Blue Oyster Cult. And once your done living in future world, enjoy a nice warm nostalgic grunge-hug with the original, tried and true:
New Depeche Mode album and tour
Dave Gahan and Martin Gore are moving forward with a new Depeche Mode album and tour, while grieving the recent loss of bandmate Andy Fletcher.
The album title, Memento Mori , a Latin term meaning “remember you must die”, was chosen before Fletcher’s death last May and will be released in late March.
“After Fletch’s passing, we decided to continue as we’re sure this is what he would have wanted, and that has really given the project an extra level of meaning,” Gahan said.
Depeche Mode will play the United Center on April 5th.
