We get it, as Fall approaches the pumpkin spiced products start getting announced when they will be coming back.
(Even though it’s only August right now and in the ‘80s but ok.)
Now another product has joined the pumpkin spice train: SPAM.
The canned meat produced had a viral fake in 2017 of the product.
But they are now making it REAL starting September 23rd, where it will be available at Spam.com and Walmart.com. (Online only)
The Daily Meal actually got an advanced tasting of the product. One taster said how it reminded them of breakfast sausages, while another one said: “it wasn’t as bad as I expected!”
Will you be giving this pumpkin-spiced food a taste?
We’ll probably hear another company jumping on the bandwagon soon. Or maybe get some pumpkin spiced toilet paper, who knows!
Interesting how they seemed so comfortable doing it in broad daylight in a seemingly empty parking lot. But it’s not like they were naked or anything, it’s just not something you see when you go out grocery shopping.
Keep your eyes peeled next time you head out into Orland Park, you never know what you’ll see.
Jumping worms are everywhere, according to a new report by the University of Illinois Extension Service.
Jumping worms are also known as “crazy worms,” “Alabama jumpers” and “snake worms.” Why, you ask? BECAUSE THEY JUMP. The Tribune says,”if disturbed, they thrash violently and may leap around a little — it’s momentarily entertaining, in that scary-nature-show sort of way.”
Besides that, they’re just plain bad for the soil. They’re also tough to fight. They breed quickly and, according to the U of I report, their eggs can survive Illinois winters.
The Chicago Sun Times is reporting that the historic Aragon Ballroom will be renamed \”Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom.\”

“Byline Bank is committed to building relationships within the community, which is why we felt they are such a natural partner for this historic venue…Together, we will be able to establish genuine bonds with members of the community who have a passion for live music through seamless brand integration.”

Past relationships can affect how one trusts and reacts to someone in a new relationship. But this guy went completely crazy with demands and rules for his girl while she’s at a music festival.
Zoe Scholefield of Wakefield, West Yorkshire messaged her ex-boyfriend asking him what bands he would like her to take a video of from the festival.
His response wasn’t too focused on the bands but more on what she has to tell him and what she couldn’t do, and it’s gone viral.
Funny how my ex sent me stuff like this then has the audacity to cheat on me😍😍 pic.twitter.com/nA28O86u4k
Imagine a person creeping up to your home and leaving a TV on your front porch.
Now imagine that, but the person doing it also has has a massive television set on their head.
Strange but homeowners in Virginia are experiencing that right now, one’s doorbell surveillance camera even caught the mysterious man in the act.
According to reports, this happened to 50 homes in the Henrico’s Hampshire neighborhood.
Why?
No one seems to know, but Police officers have been notified and the only crime this mystery man is committing is illegal dumping. They’re just being more of an inconvenience to the community and officers who have to come to pick up the TVs.
Interestingly enough this happened before! Last summer another neighborhood had the exact same thing happening.
It seems like a harmless joke, but still very weird.
Jones has been one of the highlights during the ‘Weekend Updates’ segments. Here is a reminder and maybe try not to play this loud with the kids around.
Leslie Jones plays a former WNBA player who settles down to get married, but apparently there is a lot of objections. Nearly 11 million other people watched this so you know it’s good.
Leslie Jones has had an ongoing odd couple love affair with cast mate Kyle Mooney. It’s really ridiculous.
She’s bold and unrelenting. She has been a critical player of the last few seasons of ‘Saturday Night Live’. Leslie Jones is playing the Vic on Thursday, and since the KQX Morning Crew is giving away tickets to her show, let’s look at some of her best bits on and off SNL.
In this outstanding stand up set on ‘Late Night’ from 2014, Jones describes what it’s like to be broken up with by a man wearing Crocs. Yes, he wore crocs.
Millions of people had hot takes on the controversial series finale of ‘Game of Thrones’, Jones and Seth Meyers had this wild time taking it all in.
For 9 weeks you can get an unlimited amount of pasta along with soup, salad, and breadsticks. All you’d have to do is be one of the 24,000 people on Thursday at 2 pm to purchase this yearly pass.
This year, 50 people will be picked by Olive Garden to receive a special upgrade to a lifetime pass. Which means unlimited pasta for LIFE. The catch? It costs around $500 for this lifetime pass.
If that’s too much out of your price range you can at least enjoy their regular pasta for $100.
9 weeks of unlimited pasta, soup, salad, and breadsticks? HECK YEAH.
If you really want one of the passes, make sure to be on pastapass.com at 1:55 pm on Thursday. Good Luck!
It has not been officially announced when Starbucks will launch PSL, but employees have been posting on social about the rumored launch. If they do launch it would be the earliest launch of PSL EVER.
On an August summer night in 1994, I was working the counter behind my family’s gas station in the Chicago suburb of Woodstock. Look it up if you aren’t familiar — it’s location is about to become key to this story.
A car pulled up and a girl around my age came in to ask for directions. “Where was the concert?,” she wondered — and *I* wondered if I was being pranked. Because — Woodstock ’94….was not here. This wasn’t real life, right? There’s no way someone thought a concert of THAT magnitude was in my hometown, right? RIGHT?!?
I will always remember being the one to break it to a car full of kids that on their journey from Vermont to Illinois, they passed right by the 25th anniversary of the original festival and probably should have made a U-turn somewhere in the last 900 miles. 😮
This week marks the 25th anniversary of the….well, 25th anniversary of Woodstock. This one was different. Louder, angrier, more electric bands. A raucous crowd four times the size expected. And a site that was soaked by rain and will forever be known as the festival of mud. Here’s some of the video highlights — [eric]
—
Green Day skipped a show they were supposed to play to hit the Woodstock ’94 stage — and it was an amazing career decision. This famous mud fight during “Paper Lanterns” made the world take notice — and Dookie fly off the shelves.
Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon reportedly was tripping on LSD and wore his girlfriend’s dress during their first day set.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers decided to show up as incandescent light bulbs for their set. Drugs are a hell of a drug, amiright?
Les Claypool said he was still cleaning mud out of his bass cabinets in 2014. I’m not making that up, either. The crowd heard this song from Primus and thought they were being INVITED to throw the ground at the stage. Oops.
Another group that reportedly skipped a show to be a part of this memorable weekend? Cypress Hill.
Since 1997, New Found Glory has been producing awesome alt rock and punk rock music. Now, they’re coming back to the Chicagoland area by playing at Sideout’s Bar and Eatery at 6:30pm as part of the “Bands in the Sand” night on August 16th, 2019!
Listen to our exclusive chat with NFG singer Jordan Pundik about the new EP, the longevity of band who was started before the digital era changed music, and how they have persisted through it all with a focus on fun.

Former professional wrestler, Hulk Hogan, posted the video to Facebook of him sitting in the front seat of a patrol car as he left Chicago O’Hare International Airport.
Apparently, the escort was not authorized by the department.
“This escort was not authorized by the department and Commander Thomas O’Brien of airport operations had no knowledge that it was taking place,” said Anthony Guglielmi of the Chicago Police Department in a statement.
The video was removed from Facebook, but nothing is ever fully removed and Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson still had the video brought to his attention this past week.
Currently, an investigation has open into the officer and supervisors at the airport.
But I mean… if Hulk Hogan asked for a ride would you say no?
Let’s take you to Huntington, West Virginia, where the greatest news interview of the year came from.
The city cut down a tree and it ended up collapsing onto a car belonging to a Marchall University student. But the crushed car gave us a gift, the gift of Billy Tatum.
Billy is a local man who witnessed the tree falling onto the student’s car. This is what he gave Huntington’s WSAZ news station when they interviewed him:
Leave little to the imagination with transparent shorts, why? We don’t know.
Maverickswim has the transparent shorts available for the price of $26.99 stating,
The next generation of transparent beach shorts is here! Berlin waterproof transparent shorts lime are completely see-through and leave it totally up to you if you wanna wear a colorful statement speedo underneath or just go bare for fun! The polyester shorts come with neon lining that makes you pop out of the crowds!
The same pair sells on Amazon for $15.99. Or you could just buy a speedo and save your money!
But I guess if you want to “pop out of the crowds” these shorts will suit you well.
Just know it might not be the only thing that pops out.
