This unethical life hack is so good you’ll want to try as soon as you can. Unless of course, your morals won’t allow you to do it. Here’s the scam, I mean, ‘hack’- if you’re on a flight, use a Visa Rewards bank card to make in-flight purchases such as food and drinks. They’ll complete the transaction, and give you your items, but they don’t run the cards until after the flight is over. SO, they won’t know until you leave that your card is no good to them. Also, if you’re on a Southwest flight, where the seating isn’t assigned, they have no way of tracking you. Brilliant! I mean, that’s awful! Now that you have this information, what are you going to do with it? You know you’re not getting into Heaven so you might as well try this hack! Have a good flight.
‘NYC done right’- Chicago was voted the BEST Big City In The US!
The 2022 Reader’s Choice Awards from Condé Nast Traveler was released this week and Chicago was voted the ‘Best Big City in the U.S.’ We’ve been on a roll for six years with this title too. In it’s 35 year history, no other city has won this title this many times in a row; we’re number one! More than 240,000 travelers vote based on these categories-
Sights & Scenery
Arts & Culture
Local cuisine/culinary options
Friendliness
Transportation
Shopping
Outdoor activities
Accessibility
Hotels & resorts
This is what they said in their write up.
“It’s no wonder Chicago is topping this list yet again. A world-class destination known for its impressive architecture, first-rate museums, brilliant chefs, and massive brewing scene; it’ll take several repeat visits to get through your list of must-dos. Most people start downtown—from the Magnificent Mile to the ritzy Gold Coast to funky Old Town—but there are 77 neighborhoods to explore, where you’ll find cutting-edge restaurants, chilled-out corner bars, and, no matter where you go, some of the most pleasant people you’ll find anywhere. “
And here is the Top 5
- 1. Chicago
- 2. Honolulu
- 3. San Diego
- 4. Nashville
- 5. New York City
We all know this is the greatest city to live in, and now everyone else does too. Expect more tourists next summer! -Ali
Get in my mouth, NOW: Culver’s bringing back the CurderBurger
It started as a April Fools Day prank. It morphed into some very, very real last year:
And it’s coming back, for a limited time.
Culver’s CurderBurger, in all it’s gooey, golden-fried goodness, will be returning to the menu for a limited time — October 12th – 25th. But considering it sold out quickly when it was introduced on National Cheese Curd Day last year, I wouldn’t sleep on this one.

Rage Against The Machine cancel North American 2023 tour
Zach De La Rocha had some sad news for Rage Against the Machine fans. Apparently, his torn achilles tendon injury isn’t healing as fast as they’d like. He’s going to need more time to recover, thus Rage is cancelling their 2023 concert dates. Early last summer, he injured himself on stage in Chicago and they kept going with the tour having De La Rocha sit on a touring case on stage even though he wasn’t able to move around very much.
Zack issued a public statement explaining his disappointment:
“It’s been almost three months since Chicago and I still look down at my leg in disbelief. Two years of waiting through the pandemic hoping we would have an opening to be a band again and continue the work we started 30 some odd years ago. Rehearsing, training, reconciling, working our way back to form. Then one-and-a-half shows into it and my tendon tears. Felt like a sick joke the universe played on me. As I write this I remind myself it’s just bad circumstance. Just a fucked up moment.
Unfortunately it is a moment that requires a lot of work and healing. I have a severe tear in my left achilles tendon and only 8 percent of my tendon was left intact. And even that was severely compromised. It’s not simply a question of being able to perform again, but extends to basic functionality going forward. That’s why I’ve made the painful and difficult decision to cancel the remaining shows on our 2023 North American leg.
I hate cancelling shows. I hate disappointing our fans. You have all waited so patiently to see us and that is never lost on me. I never take that for granted. For you I have the ultimate gratitude and respect.
To my brothers Tim, Brad, and Tom; to El P, Killer Mike, Trackstar and the whole RTJ crew; to everyone on our production team: techs, cooks, drivers, assistants, security squad, to anyone and everyone who made the shows thus far possible, all my love and respect. I hope to see you very soon.
– Zack de la Rocha.”

A reminder that Wesley Willis is a super-born hustler
This clever TikToker, Guerrero del Desierto, combined clips from a documentary about the late Wesley Willis. Our ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll McDonald’s hero led a very hard life, but was able to push past all of that and create music that people adored. This doc follows him around in his daily life playing shows, writing music, and of course, collecting that money because he’s a ‘super born hustler!’ His favorite activity is counting his money, as you’ll see here. Who carries around 9k with them on their person? In New York City for that matter! The answer is Wesley Willis. Who drops hundreds out dollars out of their hand when trying to give people change? Wesley Willis. Who doesn’t mind paying tax on a $3,000 keyboard? You know it, Wesley Willis. -Ali
Paramore perform fan favorite ‘Misery Business’ for the first time in years!
Back in 2018, Paramore decided to take out their hit, “Misery Business’ from their setlist due to lyrics that could be construed as sexist. Lead singer, Hayley, recently announced that they’re bringing it back and said this before they played it again in their live show, “Four years ago, we said we were gonna retire this song for a little while, and I guess technically we did. What we did not know was that just about five minutes after I got canceled for saying the word ‘whore’ in a song, all of TikTok decided that it was ok. Make it make sense.” She thanked the fans for being nostalgic and seemed genuinely excited to play it again too. Listen to the crowd go wild in the beginning, it’ll give you chills! I’ll admit, I’d be pretty disappointed if I went to a Paramore show and didn’t hear this song! No one cancel Hayley again, OK?! -Ali
Horror film villain Michael Myers makes cameo in home listing
A man dressed as the ‘Halloween’ villain Michael Myers, was found creeping around pictures in a home listing. The point of these pristine house pictures is to make people want to buy the home, not run from it! The realtor and the sellers are both huge horror movie fans, so this makes sense. See ‘Mike’ in every single picture. The one where he’s hiding in the children’s bedroom actually does freak me out a little bit. The house is still on the market if you’re interested, I know I’m not! -Ali

Relationship Court: Should their 8-year-old dress however she wants?
Should their daughter be able to wear whatever she wants, and keep in mind she’s getting pretty creative with her outfits?!
“My husband and I are in a enormous fight about how our 8 year old chooses to dress for school. I believe that it’s her body, her choice and if she looks good in it then more power to her. Right now she’s really into belly shirts which makes my husband very uncomfortable. If dressing sexy is going to give her confidence then who am I to not do everything I can to set her up for success. I think my husband is being unreasonable and controlling. As a woman I know how important it is to feel good about yourself and the way you look. Things men just don’t understand. Ali you gotta help us out here!”

Who knew The Shining could easily be a, Rom-Com???
Sometimes it’s hard to get your significant other to watch scary movies with you, especially not The Shining! This *new* trailer for The Shining looks like a wholesome romantic comedy. We all know it’s one of the scariest movies of all time. That’s the magic of editing baby! ‘Heeeeeerrrreeee’s Johnny!!!’ Use this the next time you want to ‘agree’ on a movie to watch. Enjoy your nightmares. -Ali
They’re a 10, but they laugh like this!
Imagine going on a date with a 10, and then they laughed like this woman. Could you do it still? I’d have trouble getting through the date, let alone a lifetime. It’s such an odd laugh that at first you can’t tell what she’s doing. Your brain is saying, ‘does not compute.’ I know I’m being hard on her, 99.9% of me feels extremely terrible for her! But at least she seems to take it in stride with her son. And shame on him for exposing his mom! If my kid did that to me, they’d be grounded for a year. But now it’s on the internet, no take backs! -Ali
Lou Malnati’s and Portillo’s made a baby called “Italian Beef Deep Dish Pizza”
Lou Malnati’s deep dish pizza and Portillo’s Italian beef made a baby and it’s name is “Italian Beef Deep Dish Pizza.” It might be one of the most Chicago things that has ever happened! You can get it right now in one of two flavors, either sweet peppers or hot giardiniera. It’s available exclusively through the Tastes of Chicago – https://www.tastesofchicago.com/ .
The pizza has a “buttery pizza crust, vine ripened plum tomatoes and Wisconsin cheese, topped with Portillo’s slow-roasted, thin-sliced Italian Beef. Each nine-inch deep dish pizza is made from scratch by Lou Malnati’s, then flash frozen to preserve its hot-out-of-the-oven freshness before it’s shipped directly to your doorstep, ready to bake and enjoy whenever you want it.” We want it now Dick Portillo and Lou Malnati, NOW! I’d probably only be able to scarf down two slices since there’s so much there, but I’ll try for three. It’s worth it.
But now I’m wondering if Lou Malnati and Dick Portillo are really friends? Do they hang out? According to their website, the answer is, “Yes. We get together on Tuesday nights for Bunco.” And thus the pizza/hot beef idea was born. -Ali
Are you competitive or brutally honest? This optical illusion will tell you which one you are
Take a look at this picture in the first cut of this video. What did you see first? If it was girls playing cards, then you’re cheerful, optimistic, yet very competitive. If you saw the skull then you’re very honest and friendly, but sometimes you can be brutally honest with your friends. Do we know how exactly these assumptions came to be? No. Did you not see girls playing cards or a skull? That’s OK.
I saw the skull, which checks out, but I’m also competitive, so take these results with a grain of salt, yeah? If we learned anything it should be that you need to check out this guy’s TikTok, @charlemeriot, it’s a lot of fun and a true time waster. If you want to sink into your phone for an hour to avoid cleaning the house, go to his page! -Ali
The voicemail Taylor Hawkins left Miley Cyrus days before he passed will leave you in tears
Before I get into the extremely emotional voicemail that Taylor Hawkins left Miley Cyrus just days before he died, let me ask you all a question: Do you save voicemails from people you love just in case something bad happens to them? That way you can hear their voice forever? I have one from my mom the week before she passed away and even though I haven’t had the strength to listen to it, I feel loved and comforted knowing that it is there for me if I ever need it.
Now back to the voicemail Taylor left for Miley. A few days before the surprisingly sudden death of Taylor, he left Miley an amazing voicemail. In the voicemail he told Miley that she has an amazing voice and that he would love to hear her cover Def Leppard’s 1983 hit, “photograph”. Miley never had the opportunity to grant Taylor’s wish while he was with us but at the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert she knew exactly what song she had to sing. Full of emotion, Miley hit the stage at the benefit show and gave Taylor exactly what he asked for. To say it was beautiful would be under selling it. It may have been the most amazing thing my watery eyes have ever seen.
Before clicking the link to watch the video, prepare yourself for goosebumps! We love and miss you Taylor!

Serial killers and their zodiac signs, there’s a connection
