Speaker 1 (00:00):
One on three five Kiss FM, Chicago's number one hit
music station. It's the Fresh Show. This is what's trended.
I love reading these stories. Start the day about what
my physical fitness is supposed to be, just so I
can verify that I'm barely holding on. You know. It's like, oh, well,
at forty, you're supposed to be able to do this,
Like couldn't do that when I was thirty.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
So that's good, good to know. All right, I'm declining.
I've always had an old soul, that's what they say.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Oh I see, so then you should just be able
to do whatever the sixty plus.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Year olds do. But yeah, can you do five body
weight squads? Listen for it? Okay?

Speaker 3 (00:36):
I see you drop it low in the club and
I try to, you know, a time or two.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
I just the knees just don't do what they used to.
I have a feeling if.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
What's his name for B two K well Mari unlocked
in here, then you would, all of a sudden you'd
find it.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
I can do all kind of stuff, Yes, all of
a sudden, the cartwheels hands every.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Day, you'd find it.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
I also heard you guys off there talking about Caitlin
is now a professional gambler. She's gambled a few times
on sports and so now she's a professional gambler. And
then you were saying, Kiki, that your boyfriend or whatever
he is, Yes, because you're single, Yes, I am tech
because you're unmarried.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
That's right. This is a whole thing.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
And if you're new to the show, then I'm sure
you'll get to hear the whole sermon here at some point.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
But Kiki has.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
A boyfriend of seven years who lives with her, absolutely
in her home. Yes, that's a very important distinction. Notice
she's taken me almost two years. But I get the
story right now. I don't mess up the details anymore.
But you are single because you are unmarried in your opinion, Yes, technically,
but apparently now Big Tim is his name, he's he's
a gambler now too.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yes, And it all started with my sister in law.
She's the problem.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
My sister in law and my brother are big on
these gambling apps, the sports betting apps, and I mean
they got they got everybody signing up. You know, they
come to anybody over eighteen or whatever. They're like, sign up,
make an accountcause.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
You get a bonus. Yeah, you probably do.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
You get other people sign up, you get money, so
I probably have an account.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
And so she's like recruiting people and they have got
Big Tim And now I'm walking watching him walk around
like a sneaky little group chats with them.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
They're exchanging different numbers. So your sister in laws a bookie,
I got it, okay.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Wild So Caitlin, I'm just I'm watching her because I
can't lose my girl to this gambling.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Sir, about you, I'm on the verge. I'm gonna tell
you this much.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Our old and actually this is an old diddy, and
I have to give credit where credit is due. I
learned this many many years ago about about gamblers. But
our old friend Angie, her husband apparently is or used
to be, or enjoyed gambling. And she told me this,
and it was whatever. Big Tim comes home and tells
you he won, right, double it. That's what he really won.

(02:45):
Because the expectation, I guess in a relationship is that
you would get half of whatever he won. Yeah, well
he won, so I get half of the winning. And
Hobby's the same way. Oh you won, Oh you won
four hundred bucks? You won four hundred dollars. It would
be nice if you gave me some of that because
when a relationship, So here's two hundred dollars. No, this
is what this is what happens. Really though, I learned this. Yeah,

(03:05):
you talk is that you really you say you won
four hundred, so you only have to give two hundred,
and you're being so generous because you're giving away half
of your winnings. But really you maybe won a thousand,
two thousand. You know you want way more than that,
but you don't want to have to give somebody.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Half of that. I need proof, like I need a
receipt or something from the from the casino.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
And then the losings are a lie to the losings
are always alive. I have to be a I asked
a couple or I broke even is that's that's my favorite.
One of my gambling friends, well, I'm even all time.
Well what that means is when they were twenty, they won,
you know, five thousand dollars on a slot machine, and
now they're you know, forty, and they just lost ten
because now they're gambling like big boy money. But I'm even,

(03:43):
you know, all time, my gamblings, I'm about even I
tell myself that too when I go gambling, because I
used to win and now I lose, so now I
tell and now I'm like, well, I'm even all time. No,
I'm a loser. I am a gambling loser. So anyway,
you gotta be careful for these tricks.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Okay, I gotta watch Kaitlyn. Are you giving a half
of your winnings?

Speaker 2 (04:01):
When you went? You told me I'm single? Well, yeah,
you are technically yea, we are single.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yes, yeah, you should use that one. You tell bearded
man next time he wants half of your money. You
tell mountain men that I'm single because Keiki says so,
so I don't have to give you half of my
winnings now that I'm a gambling professional.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
True.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, he wouldn't take my money, but he would have
an issue with me saying I was single.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Probably that's the part where.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
I would argue, Oh, well, so snow in Florida, Louisiana
and Texas and a bunch of other places where people
are used to getting snow, And as a person who
has lived in towns where they're not used to getting snow,
it is ridiculous. When I used to live in Charlotte.
They don't get snow that much, Raleigh not that much.

(04:46):
But when it happens, they're not It's not like Chicago,
it's not like New York. It's like Philadelphia, where it happens
all the time. They got trucks and salt and the
whole thing. No, they don't have all that because it
doesn't happen. So let me tell you what happens. Okay,
there's a there's an ice snowstorm coming to a town
near you that doesn't eat, is not used to getting it.
So about seventy two hours ahead, we begin preparing the rations.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Oh my god, wow, and.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
We start like, you know, planning for how we're not
going to leave our house for forty eight hours. And
then we got to go to the grocery store. And
the first thing you got to do when you go
to the grocery store is buy everything that will spoil. Eggs, cheese, bread,
Buy all the bread, all of the cheese, all the milk,
Buy all the milk, because I know the kids want milk,
but you know that stuff spoils, So don't buy any

(05:30):
of the can goods or any of this stuff that
will last. Because the apocalypse is coming, and so you
got to be prepared. So buy everything that will spoil
that you have to do that, it's very important. And
then toilet you got all the toilet paper because it's
possible that I'll go through ten rolls of toilet paper
during a twenty four hour period. R I don't leave
my house because there's an eighth of an inch of

(05:51):
ice on you know, the sidewalk or something. But at
least four people have actually died, you know. Once in
a generation winter storm that reached the Golf coast, there
was snow in New Orleans, in the French Quarter, on
the grass at the Florida border, on the white sand
beaches of Orange Beach, Alabama. An area stretching from Houston
to Alabama recorded widespread snowfall of three to six inches,

(06:14):
with at least one locale hitting the double digit mark.
Eight inches of snowfall was recorded at the New Orleans
International Airport. The previous record was two point seven to
give you some perspective. So that's a lot of damn
snow in a place where nobody was expecting it. Mister Beast,
who is a YouTube and TikTok star, he says he
wants to buy TikTok.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Now he's all over him again.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Everybody, mister Wonderful from Shark tenth, they're all trying to
buy this thing, even though I think Mark Schuckerberg maybe
already owns on. Yeah, there's something there, something's going on
with Meta and TikTok.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yes, it's all.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
We've already been through the controversy here, the conspiracy theory
with fourteen hours down, which I saw on TikTok, a
number of software and server expert people saying that's about
as much time as it takes to migrate from one
server to another. So happens that's about You gotta shut
if you're moving from one server to another, apparently according
to IT people, and if you're an IT person you

(07:06):
can confirm this. Eight five five five nine one three five.
You got to shut down the computers. You gotta take
everything off, you gotta move it over and then turn
it on again. They normally do it at night on
the weekend, but no, and they did do it at
night on the weekend, Yes they did. But they can't
be sneaky about it because it's too popular. So they
had to be like, oh ban, it's a ban, oh whatever, and.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Then they also had us all following accounts we never followed,
and then I unfollowed, and then I refollowed, and then
I unfollowed, and then I refollowed it. You gotta block them,
they said, you've got a block Beta, Facebook and the
others on TikTok to get your experience back.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
I heard what you're wanting that, but I'm talking about
on Instagram. Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
It made me follow like Totus Floatus Otis, and then.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
I've been following Otis. I'm like, girl, I just want
to break from all the you.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Know, Okay. It's like Tom from my space if you
if you remember my Space growing up, it said, why
do I I can't unfriend this man?

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Why does he have to be my top eight? I
don't know him him? You too putting stuff on my phone?
Oh my gosh, yes, like just let me you know,
you know what I feel. This is this country's whole thing.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
I remember I asked the Edge about that once we
had him money. I asked in that question, I was
like one of the guitarists from you two, I'm like, well,
can we talk about that?

Speaker 2 (08:22):
You know, mandating that everybody?

Speaker 1 (08:24):
If you remember this YouTube, like literally they installed YouTube's
album on everyone's iTunes without their permission. It was like
it was supposed to be a gift, I guess, but
like I counted as a sale.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
I guess. It was kind of like tricky maneuvering.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
So they're like, look, we just we sold you know,
eighty gazillion albums because like they did a deal with
Steve Jobs mate, which is on your phone one day,
you just had it, And I believe his response was
mistakes were made, people were piling.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
I don't want this, and.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Then I think you couldn't delete it or something. It
was like I can't even get rid of it. I
want this album, like at least give me best all
of so give me like you know, an Octo baby
or something like wait wait, I don't even know these songs.
Give me the ones I know. Where's Mysterious ways? Damn
it with They're without you? What is this crap?

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (09:10):
I like that? Yeah? Yeah, I do.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
So. Mister B says he's part of an ownership group
and he wants to buy TikTok and yeah, and then
his lawyer says he's real about this.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
He's being real. Netflix is raising prices.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Didn't we just do a story about this every day
about Netflix raising prices. They're raising the price of its
standard ad free plan for the first time in three years.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
But no, no, we just did a story last year.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
So the one that they raised must have been with
the ads.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Now it's without the ads. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
The company announced that it will be adjusting prices on
most of its plans within the US in Canada, and
those changes amount to a monthly hike of a dollar
to two fifty depending on the plan.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
So all the plans are going up.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
And waffle House is going romantic for Valentine's Day, which
is what about three weeks away.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Something like that.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
If you want to do something fun and romantic for
the day, try waffle House. The restaurants go all out
with a special Valentine's Day dinner on February fourteenth. It's
like locations, including white tablecloths, candle lights, and festive decorations.
Scattered smothered than covered. Have you ever had You've ever
been scattered smothered than covered?

Speaker 2 (10:14):
I want to be.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
There's a special Valentine's Day menu as well, only it's
like locations. You'll have to have a reservation, so go
to their website. If you want to do that, White
Castle is always famous for doing this too.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
You can go to white Castle on Valentine's Day. Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
I love white Castle if you have them, I don't
recommend Valentine's Day though, because if you're anything like me,
if I eat a couple of those things, I need
to be alone for a while.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
I need to be on my own.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
It really doesn't lend itself to Let me eat a
crate whatever it is they call crave cases. Me. Let
me eat a box of these things. Yes, and then
let me go like make love like No never said,
no one ever No, let me let me get romantic
after eating white Castle. No, it's oh, you're going on
vacation for the weekend. Let me eat White Castle in peace.

(10:59):
So I'm not sure about that. It's Library shelfy Day.
Post a photo of the book that you're reading.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
That's really thank you?

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Yeah, little reader, what are you reading right now?

Speaker 2 (11:10):
What you're reading? Uh? The Constitution and the Bible. I
need I need to know what's in both of them anymore.
I need to know what's in both of them.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
Actually, it's National Celebration of Life Day, honors the children
and grandchildren who bring joy to our lives. And National
Blonde Brownie Day, not just any brownie, but a blonde brownie.
And I'll have you know the brownie. He's a bonus
fun fact for you guys. The brownie was invented in
Chicago at the Palmer House Hilton Hotel.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yes, yes, it was invented here. Yeah, I was just
New Year's I learned.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
That you can go there and you can get the
first ever recipe of the brownie if you want to. Yeah, yeah,
