Speaker 1 (00:00):
FM, Chicago's number one hit music station. Freadshell, this is
what's trending.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Very tragic news to start the morning. And I didn't
know about this till this morning. And I'm in the
car and oh my gosh. A jet was sixty passengers
and four crew members of board collided Wednesday with an
Army helicopter while landing at Reagan National Airport in Washington.
At least eighteen bodies have been pulled from the river
the Potomac River Potomac, and dozens are feared dead. There

(00:27):
was no immediate word on casualties or the cause of
the collision. The FAA said that the mid air crash
occurred around nine pm when a regional jet that had
departed from Wichita, Kansas, collided with a military black Hawk
helicopter while an approach to an airport runway. It occurred
in some of the most tightly controlled and monitored airspace
in the world, just about three miles south of the

(00:48):
White House in the Capitol. Flight tracking sites have showed
the plane adjusted its approach to a new runway less
than thirty seconds before the crash, and air traffic controller
asked the helicopter if it has the riving plane in sight.
The controller makes another radio call to the helicopter moments later,
asking it to pass behind the airplane, and then seconds later,

(01:09):
the two aircraft collide. The planes radio transponders stopped transmitting
about twenty four hundred feet short of the runway, roughly
over the middle of the river. The last fatal crash
involving a US commercial airline occurred in two thousand and
nine near Buffalo, New York. Obviously very very safe these
days to fly, but I mean really, really tragic. And

(01:30):
I didn't listen to much of the air traffic control
audio because I don't like hearing that stuff. But yeah,
obviously really frightening. I mean, lots of airplanes, you got
lots of different things going on. It was night, so
it's possible that, you know, I guess, so someone didn't
see someone else, or everyone was on the same page.
There's really no telling, And I hate to speculate, as said,

(01:52):
you know, everyone to know who's fault it is or whatever,
but even as a pilot, I don't know. So I
guess we'll wait and see what the investigation too. But
unfortunately it doesn't appear as though, at least as of
this story reporting that there was an or any survivors. Yeah,
really sad.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
I logged onto Twitter or x and I saw a
guy who like said that he thought that that happened
and was like tracking the flights and then lost the track. Like,
I was very invested last night, and.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
It's just it's so tragic.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, there's video of it occurring, which is hard to watch. Again,
the audio, it's like, at one point I think I
kind of hear the rea. It's like not good.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
So hard. Yeah, it's really difficult.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
So obviously the thoughts and prayers to everybody involved with that,
and we'll love the investigation take place. But you know,
it's not something you hear about it anymore, not very often,
at least not in the United States, and hopefully far
less because of all the different technologies and things like that.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
But yeah, really sad.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Fire Aid is tonight's benefit concert to benefit the victims
of the California wildfires, happening in two places, broadcasting on iHeartRadio.
Billie Eilish, Gracie Abrams, Jelly Roll, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga,
Little Baby, Olivia at Rego. Those are just some of
the performers. In one location, in another location, Atlantis, Moore Step,

(03:05):
Let's see who else, Green Day, No Doubt, Pink, the
Red Hot Chili Peppers, Black Crows, Young Mayor are going
to be someplace else And that starts at eight Central,
nine nine eastern. Eight centrals are supposed to say that.
I guess Why Why can't I say eight Central, nine
eastern right? Why can't say it?

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Why just do? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (03:24):
So there take down? If you want to add in
the super Bowl, We've been looking at him. We've been
shopping around for him, looking for the best deal. Eight
million dollars is a record number. And I don't know
if that's a sixty or thirty, but eight million dollars
for a Super Bowl commercial.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
If you want one, oh my god, give me a
credit card. I got bad news for you.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
I'm not even sure if it'll work at pot Belly downstairs,
but Buffalo Wild Wings is offering free wings if the
Super Bowl goes to overtime for the seventh consecutive year.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
That is possible the game on February ninth.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
If he goes into overtime, everyone in the US can
re team six free Bone or traditional wings at Buffalo
Wild Wings on Monday February twenty fourth, from two to five.
The offer is available for dining and in person takeout only.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
So OT then you get DOWNE the.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Yeah, yeah, Noah. I
believe that it is the acronym for those of us
who are you know. Followers released the study of Groundhog
Day predictions and found that Punk Satani film is only
the seventeenth most accurate groundhog in the United States. So

(04:34):
I guess Groundhog Day is Sunday. The second which I
think is Sunday. But he predicted the weather accurately only
thirty five percent of the time. That would mean there
are sixteen other animals apparently, or things that predict weather
that I didn't know about. So groundhogs have been predicting
the weather for at least twenty years. But the most
accurate weather predictor of the bunch was found to be

(04:57):
Staten Island Chalk, who accurately predicted the the rival of
spring eighty five percent at the time. I don't know
what Staten Island Chuck is, right, I don't know if
someone can look up what Staaten Island Chuck is. But
the rest of the top five were George's General beerguard
Lee at eighty percent, Wyoming prairie dog statue named lander

(05:17):
Lil thirty five percent, a mythic of West Virginia groundhog
name Concord Charlie at sixty five percent, and Illinoi's Gurdie
the Groundhog with sixty five percent.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Now, why are we not talking more about these people?

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Right?

Speaker 1 (05:30):
And Chuck?

Speaker 3 (05:31):
So, he's just a groundhog that resides in Staten Island
at the zoo. He's also known as Charles g Hog
And yeah, he also does the same stuff.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Well, how did Poksishani Field get the brand on this?

Speaker 3 (05:43):
They started it, I think, And it's such a long tradition.
I mean they're wearing like top hats, like they look ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
They do only the seventeenth most accurate though. I think
from now on I want to see what Gurdi the
Groundhog has to say.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Wait a minute, did Chuck that? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (05:56):
I did also see that, possibly predicting if he's that
man is gone, he's longer with us.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
He has an Wikipedia page. That's cool.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, that is that's when you've made it, because you
can't make those yourself or anything.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Wow. Yeah, wow. Anyway, I just don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Why. Why are we trusting like the you know, seventeenth
best person for the job.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
You know he's dying as well.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
They just keep replacing him. Yeah, yeah, it's not the
way you live forever. That is so disrespectful. Give the
new groundhog a new name. You think Phil has been
alive this whole time? Yes, I mean, why would you
use the same name.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Well, because it has nice literation and they also have
a trademark on it, I'm sure. Wow, it's for licensing purposes.
We can't keep making new merch every time. This damn groundhog.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Guys, that is so tachy, so techy, right, I told.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
You my dad growing up had Toby's. All his labs
were all named Toby, Toby, one, two, three, all the
same thing. Yeah, yeah, I don't know why. He just
easy to remember, I guess, Yeah, yeah, he had multiple
And this is when I I've never done a story
quite like that before in my whole career. But a
twenty five year old woman faces possible jail time after

(07:04):
pleading guilty in the UK's first ever cyber farting case.
She's accused of sending numerous videos of her self farting
to her boyfriend's ex costs, causing distress and anxiety.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Gotta hear both sides.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
That's what destroys it. So her name is Rhiannon Evans,
and she passed gas by placing the camera on her
bottom and passing the gas. I think that's what That's
what happens in that process, right, miss Evans, passing wind
her face then smiling at the camera. Whoever wrote this
is brilliant. The victim is a woman named Deborah. She

(07:42):
said that the booty belches made her feel unsafe in
her own.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Please come on, girls, a couple of TuS. What did
you do to deserve it?

Speaker 2 (07:50):
I need some dramatic music here. I don't know what.
I don't know what kind of music I need, but
like this is wow. Yeah, So this is the thing.
She must attend fifty rehabilitation session, sixty days of alcohol
substance monitoring, and a two year restraining order. She's no
longer allowed to harass the victim. So what sort of
rehabilitation do they have for cyber farting?

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Why can't she drink anymore? Like she's just farting into
a camera. Well maybe that was feeling some of it.
I don't know, and what is she eating because I
don't have that many on debt, Yeah, on demand like that,
I'm not sure. And a food story and what's trending?

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Of course, Eminem's is dropping white chocolate, strawberries and cream
for Valentine's Day. I'm not sure how many different flavors
of m and ms they have. I really don't know,
you know me, I don't take the risk. I don't
take the risk. When I go to the candy section.
If I'm feeling an eminem, I get og. I get
the one. It's like in the brown, black container or
a little package. It's the same original Eminem's. Maybe we'll

(08:45):
go with a peanut eminem and if we're really feeling spicy,
a peanut butter eminem, which is very different than the
peanut eminem. Don't you confuse it. It's better because it's
like already chewed and everything. It just melts in your mouth.
It's like pre chew ude peanut eminem. For your convenience.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Okay, what do you do?

Speaker 2 (09:04):
You go get these like fancy ones, white chocolate strawberries
and green limited edition minem strawberry flavor with pink and
red candy coated shells, not.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
That one specifically. The thing is, I have a very
unpopular opinion. I like white chocolate more than than milk
chocolate or dark chocolate. White chocolate is the move. It's sweeter,
isn't it. It's sweeter. All my kit cats are the
white chocolate ones. It's fine to have bad taste. I mean,
it's you. You're just wrong. But that's it's iconic. White

(09:36):
chocolate is iconic. It is does something to me. It's
National Croissant Day today.
