What’s Brewing With Jen Includes A Woman Who Went Into Labor At Pink Concert At Fenway
See what was brewing with Jen Scordo today. Every day on The Best Show Ever? Jen Scordo shares a few recent weird and interesting news stories. Today that includes a woman who went into labor at a Pink concert at Fenway Park and a spider in Austria can cause very specific and very permanent symptoms in men… Here are her stories from today.
Woman Goes Into Labor At A Pink Concert At Fenway Park
Not only did the woman go into labor during the Pink concert recently at Fenway Park in Boston, Angela Mercer then walked herself to the hospital with her sister-in-law and her mother.
Yes, she walked.
She started feeling contractions at the beginning of the concert and she did try to get a ride to the hospital, but a car service proved to take too long, so they decided to walk. Angela ended up giving birth to a healthy baby boy at Boston’s Brigham Hospital. In honor of Pink, Angela named her new son Aycen Hart, Pink’s government name is Alecia Beth Moore, and she later took her husband’s name, so her official name is Alecia Beth Hart. Somehow Aycen Hart came from that… Nonetheless, congratulations!

Spider in Austria Causes Permanent “Stiffness” In Men
A grocery store in Austria recently found a Brazilian Wandering Spider inside and has been forced to close its doors until the spider can be found. The highly venomous spider can cause a man to become permanently erect, can cause severe cramping, tachycardia and in some case, even death. A manager at the store noticed the spider and they notified the authorities. The spider migrated from Brazil at some point in history by hitching a ride in a bunch of bananas.
According to Daily Mail,
“The creature is one of the planet’s most venomous spiders, and bites can be fatal after causing hypothermia, blurred vision, convulsions and in some cases, erections. The spider’s venom is even being studied for use on erectile dysfunction treatments after it was found that a bite from one of the spiders can give male victims a painful four-hour erection.”
