Speaker 1 (00:00):
Chicago's number one hit music station show This is What's
Trending text stage five five five three five. I almost
forgot the number right in the middle of it. I
used to work at a department store and I had
this one customer that would come in every Valentine's Day,
Mother's Day, and Christmas bought five of the same thing.
I literally tried to convince him to get something different.
I even asked, at least for your sister. You're like,

(00:25):
I guess for her, because I guess like wife, mom,
mother in law, they're all getting the same exact thing. Well,
that's that could be nefarious, but that's just lazy. I've
heard about situations where the wife and the mother in
law or the mother. Like so, a man marries a
woman he's very close with his mom. I've heard of

(00:47):
a circumstance where the every time the guy buys something
for his wife, he had to buy the same thing
for his mom because she would get jealous. Oh, I've
heard of that happening before. No, No, that's mom's boy
to a whole different level. But it's like, you know,
I bought a nice bag for my wife, I had
to buy a nice bag for my mom, because my
mom would be like, well, where's mine? It could because

(01:08):
it's almost like they can't let go or something, or
the guy feels like the pressure to make sure that
mom's happy to day. I mean, because when you're really
close with it. I mean, I don't think my mom
and I are very close. I don't know if we
would have this issue, But like, if my mom doesn't
like the person I marry someday or get with, you know,
like some sort of lifetime partnership whatever we're calling it now,

(01:30):
if I came in this thing and just live happily
with somebody forever, if my mom doesn't like this person,
this is a kind of crap I'd probably have to
do because she would just be mad, you know. I mean,
I just think my life would be very, very difficult.
I think my life is going to be so much
easier if and I can't say that I would make
the choice whether my mom. I would make the choice
for me. But I would also have to really pay attention.

(01:50):
If my mom really didn't like somebody, there's probably a
good reason, because she's not like a jealous, conniving type,
you know, I mean, slightly slightly proud of her son,
and a little bit type A about it. But I
mean the truth is, if anyone in this room, if
your mom or dad flat out did not like the person,
you would have to take that into consideration. Wouldn't you

(02:12):
guys all have that kind of relationship with your family,
Say you got an email, But I mean, can you
think of a situation where if any of your parents
were like, no, I don't like it, you'd still do it? Yeah,
if your mom didn't like have you'd still marry him?

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I know, I hate that. I know,
I know I'm one of those Yeah, what I love,
I love. But at the same time, she was right
about all my exes, so like what I mean, you
know what I mean, Like when I was saying the
drug dealer, but she was right.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
That's what I mean though, That's what I'm saying, Like,
you know, if you have a good relationship and you trust,
you know, it's a trusting relationship, then it's like if
they really have a fundamental issue with the person you're
going to marry, Like don't you have I mean, I'm
not talking about I've heard about racism where families are
racist or they're you know, xenophon, but in some way,

(03:00):
you know, religious issues or what that. That to me
is like if I love a person who's different from
me and my family can't embrace that, and not in
a negative way, I mean like, yeah, which is a
different religious belief or a different race, then that's to me,
you know. Sorry, But if you have a like a character,
if you if you observe a character flaw on a person,

(03:21):
I'm gonna marry. I think I have to take that
any consideration. I'd have to. Can you imagine if if
your mom didn't like Mike so.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
As I went through a dark time and they really yeah,
and they didn't, and it was really hard.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
It was hard.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
But I'm a firm believer that you can like pull
that back out because now they're like best friends, so
I think. But it wasn't necessarily like a fundamental thing
about him they didn't like.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
It was just the they didn't like. It was a
whole bunch of stuff.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
But it wasn't It wasn't anything about him as a person,
I think. So I think there's a little bit of
a difference there.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
I mean, you did go on one day with him,
then move out of your parents' home into his home,
so that's you know, that's sort of a it was
a lot going on. It's a strong movement. Yeah, it's
an aggressive stance, you know what I mean. So maybe
you had something to do with that too. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, but yeah, I mean you could always turn it
around as long as it's not like a like you said,
a fundamental thing about someone.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah, because I don't know. I the times my mom
is not like people, the very few times she's even
met them, it's like she was right. She was very
right every single time. And she tried. She tried. It
wasn't even like she was like I won't talk to
you if you keep dating this person. It was like,
here's what I think, but go ahead. And then and
then she was right. So I mean you have to
take any consideration. I guess. Yeah, all right, Jason Brown

(04:43):
is not as prolific this week in your sports picks.
I don't know. Maybe you were tired. It was a
busy week last week. The night the day of the
night before, I guess I should say you were schlepping
around thirty pound turkeys. Yeah, so you were tired.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, and I was too invest did in college sports Saturday?

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Oh you were I watched the Yellow team, the yellow team, SLU,
the SLU what the slew? Yeah? Are you? Are you
having a seizure? Are you sweet? What they call the slew? Whatever?
It was? The Salukies, Steelers.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
No, it was the football game, the college football.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Every college played, okay college, but there were probably forty
of them.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
There was a yellow team, and then there was I
forget who they were playing, Oh, Florida the Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, why are you watching that?

Speaker 3 (05:38):
We were at my experients house and it was ony good.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
They played L s U L s U. That's slus
l L. It's it's let's suit you okay watching? So
then you know, yeah, what is Northern? What is that?

(06:04):
The Huskies? There you go? I knew it's some form
of wolf. So five and eight, five and eight this
week with the picks, you did pick the Eagles on Thursday.
You're off to a good start. You picked the Raiders
over the Dolphins. Know the Browns of the Saints, Know
the Colts over the Jets, Yes, the Vikings of the Titans. Yes,
the Bears over the Packers. Want Oh my gosh, I

(06:25):
mean why, I say why? Everyone knows why? But I
knew it. I knew they were going to lose. I
knew it. Yeah, it was too that it was it
was it was almost too good that they were going
to come back at the end, and then they were
going to win the game, and it was, you know,
new offensive coordinator and coach on the Rocks, and now

(06:51):
they're going to beat the Packers, turn the whole thing around.
I'll tell you what, though, that may have been a
bad thing if you're of the mindset that the Bears
e to clean house, if you're of that mindset, and
this game would have been probably a step back if
they had won, because it may have given them false momento.
And then what if they win five or six games
after that and they still don't go to the playoffs.
But then it's like, well, yeah, look a bit of

(07:14):
a turn around. Now we don't have to fire the guy. Yeah,
and I don't like to see anybody get fired, but
I just ain't working. But the offense was better, so
maybe we keep that guy. The offense was better, Kayla
Williams is a lot better. He drove that team down
to get that field goal. And of course the Bears
find a new way to lose. Exactly if it's not
a double jink, then it's or Hail Mary. We lost

(07:34):
a Hail Mary and a black Field games. It can't
get any worse than this. It was bad. You had
the Lions of the Jaguars, yes, big time. You had
the Patriots over the Rams. No, you had the Steelers
over the Ravens. Yes, you had the four nine Ers
over the Seahawks. No, which that was another one second. Yeah,

(07:55):
I felt for her Falcons over the Broncos. No, you
had the Chiefs of the Bills. No, that was a
good pick.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
But no, the Chiefs Laws. Yeah, what the the first
game of the season. Bills, Josh, the Bills, where do
you think they might be? And not that not Birmingham.
I've never even heard it over this so many times.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yeah right, that's right. Sure. But do you think Josh
Allen's hot? And he and Haley steel together?

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Oh god, okay, so I thought you knew he was yeah, yeah, yeah, No.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
And then Bengals over the Chargers. No, and tonight you
got the Texans over the Cowboys. That's probably gonna that's
probably good pick. So candleb Williams will get the sack
two times. He certainly did. Ginger King Cooper rush, We'll
get a touchdown. We'll find out tonight and Cairo Santos
will make three kicks he did not, Oh no, he
missed one. You may hit if not for that, it's

(08:49):
possible the Parsley hits this week, but unfortunately it's not
going to so Jason, not a great week for the picks.
Try again next week. Yeah, well, like college, you've got
more weeks. We'll I went slop playing again. We got
to get you onto the I gotta turn you onto
the SMU Mustangs Southern Methodist University number that I think

(09:10):
thirteen in the country. If you want a team, the
Mustang on TV. Yeah, they occasionally are on TV. Nice, Yes,
who they have this weekend? Virgin I don't know somebody anyway,
go SMU. Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson in a unanimous
decision on Friday Night, in Tyson's return to the boxing
ring in nearly twenty years. And if you're like almost

(09:33):
everybody else except for Kaitlin, apparently you couldn't watch the
damn thing. I went to a bar and they were
working for like an hour to get it to work,
and I'm thinking I was mad at the bar for
a minute. And these are my friends. I'm like, you, guys,
what kind of bootleg operation is this? Like put the
damn thing on, it's buffering, and we wound up watching
it on my friend's phone propped up against a one
of those mixer tins. That's how we would at. About

(09:55):
thirty of us are around this bar stool like staring
at this tiny little phone, trying to watch it because
for some reason it worked on the phone and it
wouldn't work on it, and then I find out it
wouldn't work in anybody's team.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
I had zero issues, not one issue.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
It was clear as day amazing because you were like
one of the only and Netflix is saying sixty million
households tuned in. What could it have been? But I mean,
how could they They've been hyping this thing for like
six months. How were they not ready?

Speaker 5 (10:21):
And now they're hyping If you watch the broadcast, they're
hyping NFL football on Christmas Day and the change, I'm like, there's.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Nobody, get some more computer. You better get some more
acers back there, so I don't know you all better.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Before the broadcast, they said they did everything they needed
to to make sure there would be no streaming issues.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
That was my favorite part.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
I the nerd ate. Yeah, they bought all those computers
on the TikTok shop. Man, I don't know. I don't
know what was going on, but it was not working.
Netflix had fifty million households globally watched the co main event,
which saw Katie Taylor retain her undisputed women's lightweight championship
with the controversial unanimous decision over Amana Serrano. That was
a way better fight. That was way I was. That

(11:08):
was a way better fight. Yeah, screwed over to Since
the fight, I've learned even more in the contract and
some of this I knew and some of this I
didn't know. But for the Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight,
in the contract it said they get paid more every
round they go, and they get paid the most and

(11:29):
some form of bonus if it went all eight or
nine rounds, whatever it was. The second thing was I
did not know this. Mike Tyson couldn't use an uppercut,
which is his signature move. It's like kind of beat
you up in the body and then and then you're
like dead, you die, it's over, And he wasn't allowed
to do that. The other thing I'm going to say
about him is that I think in the we're just

(11:51):
talking about this off the air. I think in the
second round, especially Mike Tyson had there were a few
moments where I think he would have won, but I
think they both pulled back because they wanted it to
go the whole way so that Mike could make his
twenty meal and Jake Paul could make his whatever, because
they weren'ting to make his. If Mike went out there
and just decked him, then he wouldn't have made very
much money, right, So the whole thing is a racket

(12:13):
to you, and Mike doesn't even care. Mike was like, eh, cool,
I got my twenty mil and it was a nice fight,
and yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
Booty was chapped, like what are we doing?

Speaker 5 (12:25):
I didn't like him, but it's hard to lose when
you're the promoter of the fight.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
You know what I'm saying. It's Jake Paul running the
whole show, so it's hard to look.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
My god, and how slow did that car drive? I
was like, okay, come on, get to it.

Speaker 5 (12:40):
And he's strolling and playing in the air tonight with
the pigeon, like, yeah, that's what he's sung in the
hangover oh, I.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
Want to smack those two brothers.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
After the fact, he's in the press conference going, yeah,
Mike was getting tired, so I went easy on him.
It's like I think Mike went easy on you in
the beginning, bro, Yeah, so yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
Look good and the beginning.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
No, but I just it was just so sad and
I got tired. He's fifty eight years old. Yeah, I
mean whatever. Hmm, I I don't know. I didn't lie.
That was exactly what I was did. How I did
not want to walk away from that fight feeling. It
just felt like it felt like he kind of got
taken advantage of He didn't. He made plenty of money,
he knew what was going to have, he agreed to
the terms. Yeah, it just I'm like, dude, and I

(13:21):
guess he needs the money that much. I mean, twenty
million dollars. Who's going to turn that down. But at
the same time, it's like, dude, you're a legend. You're
a legend. You beat up like real legitimate, real fighters,
like and now you're doing this exhibition and and no
one even the rules were they were public, but I
don't think Like I was at the bar, people were
like why isn't he using the upper cut like because
he can't like what do you mean he can't like

(13:42):
he agreed to not.

Speaker 5 (13:43):
That's why stuff like like Jake Paul wants to be
considered a real boxer.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
But you're not fighting boxers.

Speaker 4 (13:48):
You're not fighting anyone that's current right now, a scam fighting.

Speaker 5 (13:51):
Yeah, old basketball players and then old MMA fighters and
Mike Tyson who's fifty eight years old.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yeah, I didn't like him self. The Stairlines flight was
hit by gunfire another one of these, except not imported
prenz Haiti. This time it was in Dallas at Dallas
love Field. The flight was preparing for departure to Indianapolis
when a bullet struck the right side of the plane
under the flight tech. Nobody was hurt in the incident,
and the plane returned to the gate where all of
the passengers the plane. The runway was temporarily closed, with

(14:18):
senses reopened. The Dallas police are looking into it. Kids
can receive personalized phone calls from Santa this year thanks
to AI. And the question is is this creepy? Is
this something you would let your kids do or not?
Now we all know that Santa is a very very
busy man. Santa is extremely busy, and he has a
number of surrogates all over the world that helped promote

(14:40):
his efforts because he's got too much to do. But
this may be taking it too far. Children can now
write a wish list to send it a North Pole,
and then Santa will call them back. Santaphone calls dot com.
Watch children's faces light up as Santa knows their name, wishes,
and favorite things in a one on one conversation. They'll
never forget at for fourteen ninety five, you can do this.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
Yes, yes, I am.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
I would be telling Santa to say all kind of
stuff like what like, go clean your room right now.
I'm not coming right to make sure that homework is
done or I won't be there. Yeah, treat your parents nice,
treat your sister and brother, nice, fee the dog, Yes,

Speaker 1 (15:25):
You know.

Speaker 4 (15:25):

Speaker 5 (15:27):
I would be calling out the list, would be all
stuff actually did bad this year? Yeah, I remember when
you Chance is always watching yes, I am.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
I remember that time you did this. I saw it.
I saw this too. These are getting wow okay, because
there were people saying like, I don't know if I
want my kid talking to AI, Like I don't know
what this AI is weird, Like hey, I just read
a story this morning that AI told someone recently die human.
And it's like, oh, yeah, not like have you ever

(15:57):
have you seen the sixty minutes in the other series
about AI where the AI creators are like, yeah, we
don't really know. Yeah, it sort of learns its own
thing and then goes off and we don't really have
control over it. We don't really know what we've created.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
I like God when he created us, he had no
contri He just did his big one.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
Interesting think about it, right, okay, very similar.

thousand dollars. I don't know again why and like what

but like, are my eyes gonna fall out? And do

take it. If you don't, if you grow a tail,
I don't know what to tell you, Like I don't

contact either, but I had a.

A gold pocket watch given to the captain who rescued
the Titanic survivors sold for two million dollars. Merry Christmas.
It's not the heart of the Ocean, but it's still

(18:25):
a valuable piece of Titanic lore. A gold pocket watch
given to Captain Arthur Rostron, who was in command of
the passenger ship RMS Carpathia, set a record for Titanic
memorabilia by selling at auction for almost two million dollars
and most ever paid for piece of Titanic history. The
watch was given to the guy by the widow of

(18:45):
John Jacob Astor, the richest man to die in the disaster,
and the widows of two other wealthy businessmen. Aster's pocket
watch was on his body when it was recovered a
week after the ship sank, and set the previous record
price for Titanic memorabilia after selling for about one point
five million dollars in April. Wow, so Mary Christmas, you're
gonna love it. I don't know if you'd put on
