Speaker 2 (00:30):
Fred's Biggest Stories of the day.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I'm going through all these sects. Yeah, this is it.
Someone said I agree with Fred as well. It's annoying
and it's not going to work every time. Mark said,
I think the Bear set up schemes for later in
the game. Opponents get baited based upon the first few
quarters and then we change it up in the fourth. Yeah.
But I guess my thing is while we got waste
so long, like one of these times, it's not gonna work.
(00:56):
And I'm afraid with these games are getting important? What
are we three game? Two games away from the Super Bowl? Like,
you can't be doing stuff like this, especially when you're good.
That's what I mean. If you're like not that good
and then you pull it out in the end, like
that's exciting. I guess, but I guess there's too much
talent to be putting us through this sort of emotional
roller coaster. I just don't appreciate stop it, knock it off.
(01:16):
And and Caleb did say and he was like not
even he didn't even look remotely phased. At the end
of the game, Yeah, we got to play better. You
know you think you think? Okay, anyway, I'm okay. Now,
what is this morin? Maureen says. All the commentators talked
(01:39):
about how the Bears play all four quarters, and that's
how they've been winning it. So let's consider it's ourselves.
Let's consider ourselves blessed. This is why I don't watch
football regulating more, because I can't take it. I think
that's what it is is. I was just I was
having a difficult time breathing properly, and I am I
and I just I can't handle the range of emotions
because I'm just like, oh man, this is all this
(02:01):
Chris great season. And then the Packers really, you're you
gonna have to hear about it from the Packers people,
annoying cheesehead, greater cheese packer people, and I don't want it.
And then we won, and which is again, I'm very
happy about it. I just we need him come home
from the beginning. We got to do it. And Jase's
mom is a Green Bay Packers fan. If you don't
(02:23):
understand the rivalry, Packers and the Bears hate each other.
And there's no reason why somebody who is born and
raised in Chicago, as your mother was, would be a
Packers fan. There is no reason why you would choose
that life. And she has Have you had any contact
with her since this devastating swing of events for her? Right?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
No, I did not talk to her on Saturday, but
then I went and I saw them yesterday, and I
waited to bring it up because I was like, I'm
not trying to gloaty though I wanted to be like,
you know, look at your face, you know, And she
was like, did you watch the game last night? And
I told her I fell asleep and Mike watched it
and then woke me up when we won. And then
her narrative, I just don't understand they were so good
(03:02):
in the beginning and now just everything you said but
the opposite. Right, So she has the same frustration, and
she's like, you know, I think they might have thrown
it on purpose. I was like, Mom, they would have
not done that, not against us, Like, how are you
gonna throw your biggest rivalry game?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Like that's not even possible.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
So she's I think she's going through the stages of grief, right,
So we haven't reached what is it acceptance or whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
In stage one or whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
So yes, somebody said terry TEXTI it takes till the
second half of Caleb's fingernail polished and dry, ball slippery
in the first half. Oh boy, that's right, right, he
looks good. If it weren't a theme, I wouldn't be worried.
I'm just worried because like, we just can't do this
in the super Bowl. Because you do this to us
in the Super Bowl and lose, I think that the
(03:49):
emergency rooms in the city are going to have issues,
like it's it's not going to be good. And I
don't know. I guess if I were winning a game
like that, I'd be at the end going whoa like
I'd be scared. I'd be like I can't believe it,
Like we can't do this though, and it's just so chill.
And then in the locker room yelling scream, yeah we
did it, We do it all. You know what you mean?
(04:10):
A man nobody the script. The script worked on Kiki Man.
She she's discovered football for the first time in her
thirty some of your lives, so this is exciting. We
got one more playoff game to determine the next round tonight,
and says Steelers Texans at the Steelers. That's at eight
o'clock Eastern, seven Central. But Bill's Broncos the four Niners
(04:36):
at the Seahawks, and then you've got Rams at Bears.
That's the first two games of Saturday, Rams at Bears Sunday,
and then the winner of the Texas Texan Steelers at
the Patriots, also on Sunday. So it's gonna be a
very exciting Sunday evening for our Chicago fans, and I
mean Bears fans. We don't have any fans, but you know,
(04:56):
Bears fans, people who like the Bears. The Indiana Hoosiers
defeated the Oregon Ducks big time, fifty six to twenty
two at the College Football Playoff semi Final the Chick
fil A Petz Bowl on Friday. The Hoosiers will now
face the Miami Hurricanes in the National Championship Game next
Monday night. In nonsports headlines today, TSA officers have shared
the wildest things that people have tried to fly with
(05:18):
across the country in twenty twenty five. In October, a
TSA officer in Newark found a handgun hidden in a
guitar case, which is a natural place to hide your gun,
I guess the mob right, officer said the passenger told
him the case was a gift from someone else and
he didn't know a gun was in there. Well, it's
another way to get on the no fly list, don't
(05:38):
you hear the announcement? Don't be taking stuff on the
plane if you don't if you didn't pack it like
I've watched that to Catch It Smugglers show one too
many times. Oh, I didn't know what was in the suitcase. Well,
then why did you take it on an airplane?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
If you didn't know a few months before that, another
officer found a BB gun hidden inside the lining of
a passenger's luggage in Newark. Someone else found several throwing
stars in a check in bag. I've been wondering where
those were by throwing stars, a flashlight, taser, a knife
hidden inside a comb, and drugs were hidden inside a
(06:12):
paper towel in a passenger's shoe. Okay, so you're not
supposed to do any of them. Camelin's a big pickleball player.
You discovered pickleball the way that Kiki discovered football exactly. Now,
have you been playing much of it? I know it
was like more of a summer thing. Fee we're looking
at outfits and paddles and sponsorships and things like that.
Where are we at with that now?
Speaker 4 (06:32):
So I have not played indoors since it's gotten colder,
But if somebody wants to, you know, go mix it up.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Jason, Yeah, stand in the in the kitchen, man stand
of the kitchen. I don't even know what that means, really,
but I just know people say that. But there's another
paddle sport lining up to be the next big thing,
and it's called paddle pad e L. I think it's
called pit paddle that we say that, Sure, I don't
think you'd say paddel I don't know. It's a fast
paced mix of Hennison squash played on a smaller court,
(07:02):
surrounded by glass walls that keep rallies alive, and game social.
Invented decades ago in Mexico, it's suddenly taken off worldwide,
now play in about ninety countries of millions trying it
for the first time. It's easy to learn, usually played
in doubles and designed for longer, more entertaining points, and
that helps explain the surge in new courts and private investment.
(07:22):
The sport has also picked up celebrity fans and major
buzz overseas, especially in Europe and Latin America, and industry
watchers say that the US could be next paddle. Okay,
so pick a ball, move aside. Now we got past.
That sounds more athletic, though weren't a box. It's supposed
to last longer. I feel like pickleball is like you
(07:43):
know then it's a slower pace if you wanted to
be you don't have to be out here like sweating
a whole lot? Do you no?
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Like I was going too hard for pickleball, Like you
can't hit overhand, the ball has to bounce first. You
can't just like hit it like I was too much
at first, but it's leisurely.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
He's like, we're just remixing tennis, like we just played tennis. Well,
but I think tennis requires more athleticism. I don't think
I know it does. So the pickleball court is much
smaller and you stay in a little area, and you
were in to Camlyn's point, I guess you're not supposed
to be like smashing it at people and stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
So right my bed.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Even though I have heard you referred to as the
Venus Williams of pickleball in the community, in the pickleball community,
I have heard you referred to as that. Yeah, I have.
I failed to mention the Golden Globes were last night, Cambe.
We'll get to that next in the entertainment report. And finally,
maybe you can relate to this. I think most of
us can. A motorcyclist in Florida was arrested after police
said he was caught going one hundred and seventeen on
(08:43):
a roadway on his motorcycle when obviously pulled him over.
He didn't blame speed racing. He told him that he
was driving fast because he really really needed to use
the bathroom. Authoriti didn't buy the excuse, and he was
taken into custody. I mean, the only thing that you
can do in that situation is if you that you
have to use the bathroom that badly you were doing
one hundred and seventeen miles an hour, you have to
(09:04):
immediately crap your pants. You like, like, because well, now
I got pulled over, so like, you know what I mean. Like,
if you say I have to go to the bathroom
so badly and then they stop you, You're not gonna
be able to get through a full on interrogation and
arrest without going to the bathroom, you know what I mean.
So like, at that point, you have no choice but
to pee yourself. And then when they're like why did
(09:25):
you pee yourself, You're like, because I told you I
had to go to the bathroom, and if you hadn't
stopped me, none of this would have happened. So I
don't I think that's what you have to do that
because if I say, like, oh my god, I have
to go to the bathroom so bad that I have
to drive that fast, and then you know, an hour
and a half later, I'm sitting in a cell and
I still haven't used the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Then I lied to you, right, Yeah, you know that
would be me. I would one hundred percent. It's happened.
I have gotten pulled over before, but I've had some
close calls in the car, so I definitely would understand that.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
That's because you're doing muck bangs in the car.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
You know, it's the price of business.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah, well, you there with your little table that you downloaded,
your car table that you download it from TikTok yah
you bingi Taco Bell. I mean, for some reason, you
want to know why halfway home rock here is the bathroom.
You're doing one hundred and seventeen miles an hour. It's
National Clean Off your Test Day, It's National Pharmacist Day,
and it's kiss a Ginger Day.
