3:06

3:08
stuff from twenty twenty three. We're gonna have the Year in Review, Grammy
3:15
Winners, Oscar Winners, Best Movies, Best Songs, and the Champions of
3:19
twenty twenty three. But of course we are gonna get it kicked off with
3:22
sports like we always do. So let's kick it off. Last week,
3:28
I went eight to eight on my predictions for Week sixteen. That was a
3:31
horrible thing, but the Chicago Bears won. That's right. The Bears beat
3:36
the Cardinals and they are still in a one percent chance of making the playoffs,
3:42
which is a crazy thought with two weeks left on the season that the
3:44
Bears are still fighting. Bears have a very winnable game with Atlanta this week.
3:51
If a few things fall into place, the Bears actually would have a
3:54
chance. And I'm gonna run through that really quick. In just a few
3:59
minutes, the Bears could actually make the wild card. I Am going to
4:02
go on to one of those predictors and I'll show you how that can happen.
4:06
But let's go into this first. For the season, I'm one nine,
4:12
one hundred and forty wins ninety nine losses for a total of fifty eight
4:16
percent of winning eight to eight last week. So let's see what we do
4:21
this week. Tonight, Thursday Night Football, we got the Jets and the
4:25
Browns. I'm taking the Brownies in that one Go Browns Saturday game. There's
4:30
one game Saturday. It's the Lions and the Cowboys. That is a huge
4:33
game for both teams with big implications. The Lions already clinched the division,
4:39
and congratulations to the Detroit Lions. Their first division win in thirty years.
4:44
Amazing. And I actually if the Bears have no shot at winning the Super
4:47
Bowl this year, which even if they make the playoffs, they'd probably be
4:50
a one and done team, but you never know. Weirder things have happened
4:55
in the NFL, so we don't know. But if the Bears have no
4:58
chance of winning it, I would love to see the Detroit Lions win their
5:01
first ever Super Bowl championship, just because I feel that they are deserving.
5:09
I like Dan Campbell, He's a great coach and I would love to see
5:12
that. So I got the Lions winning Saturday over the Cowboys, and then
5:15
Sunday's games, all Sunday games, no more Monday night football. Let's see.
5:20
We've got the Patriots and the Bills. I got the Bills winning that
5:24
one. Falcons and Bears Bear downs. Chicago Bears are gonna win again,
5:29
and I'll tell you what the predictor is gonna be for them making the playoffs,
5:32
especially if they win on Sunday. Okay, we got the Raiders and
5:38
the Colts. I got the Colts winning that one. Rams and Giants.
5:42
I've got the Giants winning over the Rams. I think the Rams are a
5:46
very overrated team, and I don't think they're gonna win. Cardinals and Eagles.
5:49
I got the Eagles obviously beating the Cardinals in that game. Saints in
5:53
Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay's gonna beat New Orleans Saints forty nine. Ers and
5:58
Washington. I got the winning that one. Panthers and Jaguars. Jags are
6:03
gonna beat the Panthers. Panthers are going to have the worst record in the
6:08
league. And then we've got the Dolphins and Ravens. I've got Baltimore winning
6:12
that one, and then the Titans and Texans. I got the Texans with
6:15
the win. There uh three o'clock games. We've got the Steelers and Seahawks.
6:18
I've got Pittsburgh winning that one. Chargers on Broncos. I've got the
6:24
Broncos with the win, even though they are benching. Oh, Russell Wilson,
6:31
he's getting benched or now Russell Wilson. Sorry, Cam Newton? Wait
6:39
is it Cam Newton? R Russell Wilson. You can see I don't really
6:42
watch the Broncos that much. It's one of the two, and they yeah,
6:46
he's getting benched for the rest of the year. I think they're basically
6:48
gonna trade him for whatever they can get there. Let's see, So who's
6:57
gonna be starting in the place. Let's see. Yeah, it was Russell
7:01
Wilson. They're gonna bench him, and they're saying, why is he being
7:06
benched? They're gonna get rid of him. That was his last game with
7:11
the Broncos. He's gonna be moving on somewhere else. Who knows where he
7:15
ends up. I guess we'll find out next season. But yeah, that's
7:16
why they're benching Russell Wilson. I don't know why. I thought it was
7:19
Cam Newton. So I've got the Broncos winning even though he's gonna be benched.
7:26
I still got the Broncos beating the Chargers. H Chargers well justin Herbert
7:30
is just not good. And then the Bengals and Chiefs. I got the
7:33
Chiefs bouncing back after that horrible loss on Christmas Day being the Bengals, So
7:40
Chiefs win there, and then Sunday Night Football Packers and the Vikings go.
7:44
Vikings, whoop the Packers. I want the Packers in the basement and the
7:47
Bears ahead of them, regardless of if we even have a shot at making
7:50
the playoffs or not. So I'm saying, go Vikings in that one.
7:55
So that's the games for the week. We'll see how I do. We
7:58
only got one week left of the right season after this week, and that's
8:01
next week. Crazy that the NFL season is almost over. Now, let
8:05
me go on to this predictor and I found this on the New York Times.
8:09
If you go to New York Times and you put in Bears, says,
8:16
how can the Bears make the playoffs? Okay, So right now,
8:18
the Bears stand at a one percent chance. Okay, and actually it's less
8:26
than a one percent chance as of right now, So I'm erasing all this
8:31
that I got on here. Okay, so right now, the Bears are
8:35
one percent chance to make the playoffs. Bears have to win out. Okay,
8:39
this is like the main thing. The Bears have to win out their
8:43
last two games. So they have to beat the Falcons this week, and
8:45
they have to beat the Packers next week. If they did that, they'd
8:48
have a three percent chance of making the playoffs. If they could win both
8:52
games. So for the wildcard, this is where would have to happen this
8:58
weekend, and this is the craziest part. Okay, So the Bears win
9:05
over the Falcons, and then we have the Giants and Rams. These are
9:09
the important games that have to happen. There's only a few on each week.
9:15
The Giants have to beat the Rams. If the Giants beat the Rams,
9:20
the Bears go up to a thirteen twelve percent chance of winning and getting
9:24
a wildcard. Then we've got the Buccaneers and Saints. The Buccaneers have to
9:31
beat the Saints. If the Buccaneers win, man okay, So if the
9:39
Buccaneers beat the Saints, we go on to eleven percent chance. But this
9:46
is one of the scenarios because if the Saints beat the Buccaneers, the Bears
9:50
still struggle the Seahawks and Steelers. The Steelers have to win that game.
9:56
Okay, So if the Steelers win over the Seahawks, the Buccaneers went over
10:01
the Saints, the Bears went over the Falcons, and the Giants win over
10:05
the Rams, the Bears go to a thirty two percent chance to make it.
10:09
Then if the Vikings beat the Packers, Bears are now up to a
10:13
thirty seven percent chance. And that's this week. So one, two,
10:18
three, four or five games are important this week for the Bears. The
10:22
Bears and Falcons, the Giants and the Rams, the Buccaneers and the Saints,
10:26
and the Steelers and the Seahawks, and of course the Vikings and Packers.
10:31
Now next week, if the Bears beat the Packers in their game,
10:37
we scoreboard Watch with only two other games of all that happens this week,
10:41
we scoreboard Watch with two other games next week, Seahawks and the Cardinals.
10:48
So if the Cardinals can somehow beat the Seahawks, and I know that's hard
10:54
to imagine because the Cardinals are really bad right now, but they do have
10:58
three wins, so they have beaten three teams. If the Cardinals win,
11:01
that boost the Bears to eighty seven percent chance of winning the Wildcard. Now
11:05
it's down to the forty nine ers and Rams. Now, the forty nine
11:09
ers should beat the Rams. But here's the big butt on this one.
11:15
Forty nine Ers, by that chance, by that point may have clinched what
11:18
they needed to and they may rust their starters, but they may not.
11:22
So if they beat the Rams, forty nine ers over the Rams. The
11:26
Bears get into the wildcard because Bears have some tiebreakers. The Bears definitely have
11:33
the tiebreaker with Atlanta. But yeah, if the Bears, if all this
11:37
happens, three games next week and five games this week, this is all
11:41
we need to scoreboard watch is these five games. If this happens, the
11:50
Bears legitimately would have a shot and making the head They would make the wildcard
11:56
if this stuff happened. So we'll see Week eighteen and Week seventeen is gonna
12:01
be fun to watch either way. And I'll be doing this thing on this
12:05
on TikTok, so follow me on TikTok. All that information is down below
12:09
in the bido. So that's fun to think about that the Bears still have
12:13
a chance at the playoffs with two weeks left. It makes the games a
12:15
little more watchable, especially because we want to see Justin Fields just ball out.
12:18
And I think Justin Fields will ball out this week because he's in Atlanta,
12:22
where he's from. So that's always a big thing when you're oh,
12:28
wait, no, Atlanta comes here to Chicago. Nevermind, Atlanta comes to
12:31
Chicago. But you always want to beat the team that you watched growing up,
12:33
which was Atlanta. So that's a big one, all right. So
12:37
let's get this NC Double A really click out of the way before I talk
12:41
a little more about the Chicago Bears and what I think they're gonna do and
12:45
what they should do for next year. But let's do these NC Double A
12:48
Bowl predictions. So right now, I'm not doing great at the Bowl predictions.
12:52
I'm thirteen and twelve, not always easy to pick the Bulls and stuff.
12:58
But we are down to the final weekend of the In fact, by
13:01
Monday, on New Year's Day, we'll find out who goes on in the
13:05
National Championship. On January eighth, it's a Monday night, so we'll find
13:09
out who goes that. I wish they would move that National Championship game to
13:13
a Saturday. Why is it on a Monday? For what it's stupid?
13:18
Do it on a Saturday? An Cuba, All your college games are pretty
13:22
much on Saturdays. Your major bulls are on Saturdays except for New Year's So
13:26
why not move that to a Saturday game? I just don't understand. So
13:33
here you go. Here's the final games of the Bulls coming up this weekend.
13:37
And what I think is gonna happen. So today, you got Boston
13:39
College and SMU. I've got SMU winning that effect that game. A few
13:46
of these games are gonna be over by the time you're hearing this because they're
13:48
all earlier games. I've got SMU winning that one. Miami and Rutgers.
13:56
I've got the Miami Hurricanes take it in that one. Think they're gonna win.
14:01
Go to Way the Rock, Johnson, go Miami. Kansas State and
14:05
North Carolina State. I've got North Carolina State winning tonight, and then Oklahoma
14:09
and Arizona. I've got Jim Ross's Oklahoma Sooners beat in Arizona in their bowl
14:16
tonight tomorrow. On Friday night, we've got Kentucky and Clemson. I've got
14:20
Clemson winning their bowl. Notre Dame versus Oregon State, I got Notre Dame
14:26
winning that one. We've got Iowa State versus Memphis. I've got Iowa State
14:30
winning that, and then the Ohio State buck Guys versus Missouri. I've got
14:33
Ohio State winning that game. Those are the Friday games. Saturday games,
14:39
We've got Penn State versus Old Miss I got Penn State winning that one.
14:46
We've got Maryland versus Auburn. I've got Maryland winning THEIRS, Florida State versus
14:50
Georgia. I got the Bulldogs winning their bowl, and the final one is
14:54
Wyoming and Toledo. I got Toledo winning THEIRS. Let's see the New Year's
15:01
Day Bulls. There's one, two, three, four, five to and
15:03
the bowl games. I've got LSU in Wisconsin. I've got the Badgers winning
15:09
THEIRS. We got Oregon versus Liberty. I've got Oregon winning that one,
15:15
Tennessee versus Iowa. I've got Tennessee winning that, and then the two big
15:20
bowl games to decide who's going to the National Championship Game the week later.
15:24
We've got Michigan my Wolverines taking on Alabama. It's gonna be a role tight,
15:31
all right, but the Wolverines are gonna roll tight all over Alabama.
15:35
I got Michigan winning that one. And then the final game of the night
15:39
will be Washington versus Texas for the other slot, and Texas is gonna win
15:43
that. So we will have Texas and Michigan in the National Championship Game Monday,
15:48
January eighth, and I'll talk about that next week because we'll know who's
15:52
in there. So next Thursday, first show of twenty twenty four, we'll
15:56
be talking about either Michigan and Texas or Michigan in Washington or Alabama in Washington
16:03
or Alabama in Texas. We'll see who it's gonna be. One of the
16:06
two of those four teams are going to the national Championship. So yeah,
16:10
so that's my predictions. We'll see how I do in this final weekend of
16:14
the bowls for college college football will be over as of well January eighth,
16:19
but there's only one game on that day, so yeah, so that's all
16:22
done so by NCAA predictions. Now let's talk a little bit about the Chicago
16:27
Bears and what they're gonna do. Well. Number one, we don't know
16:30
where they're gonna end up yet. They could end up in the playoffs this
16:33
year or maybe not. We'll see what happens there. But I'll tell you
16:37
one thing, no matter where they end up, the NFL Draft is gonna
16:41
be huge for the Chicago Bears. Most likely they are going to finish at
16:47
the number one spot or the number two spot for the draft. Okay,
16:52
I don't see Carolina winning this week or next week, so I believe that
16:56
they will end with the two wins that they have, but I'm hoping Arizona
17:02
gets that one win and I got the Patriots losing this week, but we'll
17:06
see next week who the Patriots are playing in Week eighteen. Like I said,
17:11
week eighteen's a little iffy because week eighteen, you can have a lot
17:14
of starters resting depending on teams and where they're at in the standings. So
17:19
you know, a lot of your teams who are tanking may put their starters
17:25
out and put in their second stringers, so they do lose. Some teams
17:29
who are in playoff spots and have it locked in don't really give a dam
17:33
anymore, so they rust their starters. So I mean a lot can happen
17:37
in week eighteen. So we'll see what happens there. But with the Bears
17:44
still having a major shot, I don't see Justin Fields being out next week.
17:48
He's definitely starting this week, but next week we will see what the
17:52
Bears do if they are still in a spot to win. And I'm sorry,
17:59
but you're playing Green Bay. You have to play your starters the whole
18:03
game and you have to win because whether or not you make the playoffs,
18:07
it would be if the Green Bay Packers lose this week and we win and
18:14
next week we play them, that is for the basement, so we'll see
18:18
what happens. I don't know, we'll see what happens there. Hopefully the
18:22
Bears play Justin Fields definitely will be the starter next year. They're not drafting
18:26
Caleb Williams. USC proved when they won yesterday without Caleb Williams and their bowl
18:33
and their backup quarterback came in and through three hundred and eighty five yards on
18:37
six touchdowns. Caleb Williams would not have done that in that game. In
18:41
fact, he would have struggled in that game. He's not gonna be a
18:45
star quarterback. If I'm any team, I'm not taking him with their first
18:49
pick. And I hate to say that, but Caleb Williams is a pre
18:53
Ma Donna cry baby, and I would now want him on my team.
18:57
I would not take what the Bears have built with Justin Fields and the way
19:03
that offense feels about him. I would not take Caleb Williams and trade Justin
19:07
Fields. That would be the biggest mistake that the Bears could have. So
19:11
no, if you're the Bears, do not do that. So we'll see
19:18
what happens there. But like I said, I believe that the Bears either
19:21
are going to get Marvin Harrison Junior or if Marvin Harrison Junior decides to not
19:30
make himself eligible for the draft and stay with Ohio State, which I think
19:34
would be the biggest mistake of his career because he's risking getting an injury just
19:38
to beat Michigan and win a national championship. Sorry, buddy, as age
19:42
Jim Harbaugh is there, you're not beating Michigan and you're probably not winning a
19:47
national championship. So if I were you, I would go and take a
19:52
contract and go to the NFL while you still can, because let's say you
19:56
get hurt. What happens then what happens if you play your final year in
20:00
college and get a big injury that you mayil not gotten if he went to
20:07
the NFL, or you'd be in a big NFL deal. Yeah, no,
20:11
I would. If I were him, I would definitely be going over
20:15
to the NFL as quick as possible. But that's just me. But yeah,
20:19
so I think the Bears are either going to take Marvin Harrison Junior with
20:22
that number one pick, or if he does not make himself eligible for the
20:26
draft. I think they trade it for Ahull. I've been hearing rumors of
20:30
the Raiders maybe being interested in that number one pick, and they are willing
20:33
to trade possibly Max Crosby. If you get Max Crosby and their first round
20:40
pick plus the next year first round pick from the Raiders, because if they
20:45
take Caleb Williams, there's a chance that team could be in the basement of
20:48
the NFL next year, just like the Carolina Panthers. Imagine being a Panthers
20:52
fan right now. Imagine being a Panthers fan and realizing your team has the
20:56
worst record in the NFL but does not have the right stutter number one pick.
21:02
Usually the consolation for the worst team in the league is having that number
21:07
one pick and knowing that you get the number one pick in the draft.
21:11
And Carolina does not have that. But yes, I would take Max Crosby
21:15
and the number one pick out of them that I would go and draft an
21:18
old line. There's also a few other good receivers in college right now that
21:22
the Bears could take if they don't get Marvin Harrison if he doesn't make himself
21:26
eligible, but if he's there at number one. You take him forget Max
21:30
Crosby, get another pass rusher. You've got sweat, you could get one
21:34
more. You'd even draft a pass rusher and have Sweat help build that kid
21:38
up. There's different ways you could go. But if Marvin Harrison Junior is
21:42
there, I told people on Facebook today just before I did this show,
21:48
the whole point of getting the hole that they got last year was to aim
21:51
for the big player. If the Bears win and get that number one pick,
22:00
that is their hull. The ending of their hull would be to get
22:04
Marvin Harrison Junior. He's the big player. There you go, That's what
22:08
I would do. But that's just me. We'll see where the Bears go.
22:11
We'll have a lot to talk about once the season's over. Then we
22:15
know exactly where the Bears draft and who's the possibilities. Also, teams players
22:22
have till the fifteenth of January to say if they're going to be in the
22:26
draft or not, so we'll see what happens there. All right, some
22:30
Hawks news, here's some fun stuff to talk about. Connor Bodard. This
22:37
kid is amazing. This kid is great. Last night, scored two goals
22:41
in the Hawks game, one was the original goal to tie the game up,
22:45
and the other goal was in overtime out a breakaway shot, which was
22:51
amazing. He was between two defenders when he shot this. And I'm not
22:55
even talking about that Michigan shot that he did the other night. That was
22:57
amazing too, but this was just as good overtime. Coming down the ice,
23:03
two defenders on the side of him, one on the left, one
23:06
on the right, he comes right down the middle, shoots it over the
23:08
middle and scores the game winning goal in overtime. This kid is amazing.
23:12
He has fifteen goals already, and that's amazing for a rookie. He leads
23:18
the league, I believe in. Let's see who leads the league in goals
23:22
right now? So I think it's him, but let me see. But
23:26
yeah, no, this kid is amazing. Fifteen goals. Let's see goal
23:32
leaders at h O alright, let's see who leads the league in goals.
23:40
That's points, here's goals. So okay, So right now, Connor Bedard
23:45
is not in the top five. But for a kid like him to be
23:52
right now where he's at here he is, he's like number twenty six.
23:56
But the reason I'm happy with that is because he's still doing great in goals.
24:03
In fact, right now, with those two goals he got, he's
24:06
got fifteen goals and seventeen assists. He's already got thirty two points. That's
24:15
amazing for a rookie. That is amazing. I see big things for him.
24:19
And you know, the Hawks are winning here and there, which is
24:22
good. But at the same time, I believe that I'm just happy that
24:27
we are having this great kid who is gonna be the leader of this team
24:33
for years to come. And we'll see next year where the Hawks end up,
24:37
because if they end up with the number one pick one more year,
24:40
there's a lot of good kids out there that'll be good. With Badard,
24:42
we may have our next Canaan Taves if that happens. So we'll see.
24:47
That's enough for the Hawks talk to say, another major going on there except
24:49
for Badard with his game last night, that was great. They won two
24:52
to one in overtime. Bulls talk. Zach Lavine's still sitting out and the
24:57
Bulls are still winning. They're nine to four without him. I am saying,
25:03
trade Zach Lavine, and I've been saying this all year. Trade him
25:07
for something. You will get a decent haul for him. I would trade
25:11
him. The Bulls don't need him. Anybody's saying trade tomorrow, that's stupid.
25:17
I'd keep DeMar de Rosen, i would extend him, I'd keep Vouch,
25:21
and then I would build around the two of them with what you got.
25:23
Now you got Kobe White, who's playing amazing in the spot of Zach
25:27
Lavine being gone. Drummond amazing, he he needs to be playing more.
25:36
Why are we not playing Drummond more than he is? The guy the other
25:40
day had like twenty points and twenty rebounds. That's amazing. Keep him and
25:45
keep him, maybe even make him a starter. I'm not necessarily sold on
25:49
Vuch being a starter. Vuch I think would be better off the bench,
25:53
start drumming and see what you can get out of him for a while.
25:56
But the Chicago Bulls right now are still in a pretty decent spot. We've
26:02
got let's see the NBA standings for the East NBA standing so let's see where
26:07
they're at right now. I mean, the Bulls beat the Lakers. That
26:11
was amazing with Ady, and right now the Bulls are tenth in the Eastern
26:17
Conference. The play in tournament is seven, eight, nine, and ten.
26:22
The Bulls will be a play in tournament team. Right now, they're
26:25
fourteen and eighteen and only moving up. And right now, I mean the
26:30
Celtics are twenty three and six, the Bucks are twenty three and eight.
26:33
But the Bulls have fourteen wins right now, they're only ten and a half
26:38
games back. And we're not even at the midpoint of the season yet.
26:41
That's not till February, till the All Star Break. We're not even at
26:45
All Star break yet. Think about that, We're only gonna be in January.
26:51
This is amazing. The Bulls have a big game with the Pacers today.
26:55
Pacers are fifteen and fourteen. Pacers are where are they? They're a
26:59
number eight in the standings right now we're number ten. So the Bulls have
27:03
a chance to beat the Pacers. I want them to win this game tonight.
27:07
I'm gonna be watching it. They are at home, game starts at
27:11
seven, They're at homes tonight, So yeah, I would love to see
27:14
the Bulls win against the Pacers, and that would solidify them as a team
27:18
that's really a threat right now. And I believe they are. I think
27:22
everybody believes they're a threat because they are playing a lot better. If you
27:29
look right now, they're seven and they've won seven out of the last eleven
27:33
games. That's amazing. At last ten, they've won six, they've lost
27:38
four, but they are coming back and they are on the come up.
27:41
So yes, I would definitely train Zach Levine and keep what I got here
27:47
and see what you get for Levine some draft picks, maybe a player.
27:49
But that's what I would do if I were the Chicago Bulls. So we'll
27:53
see what happens there. Now, let's go on to the fun stuff.
27:57
It is twenty twenty ending in let's see today's twenty eighth, so we only
28:03
got what three days left of the new year. Man, I hope everybody's
28:07
got some good resolutions. I actually did a Facebook and I got a couple
28:11
of responses on it. Let's go to my Facebook page and I'm going to
28:17
read those couple of responses. What was funny and one was legit. But
28:21
that's how you get when you get people doing that. So let's see,
28:26
here's my fields posts, all right? Where is it? Where to go?
28:33

28:38

28:59
know I did it. No, it's weird. It's gone. I know
29:03
Facebook is weird sometimes. I think sometimes they get rid of it. Let's
29:07

29:15
Here's my Christmas Oh, here I found it. I put what is

don't want to hit four hundred pounds like I used to be. So I'm
29:36
gonna start race training again, drink more lemonade and not so many beers with
29:41
a smile. So Memo said that hopefully he does his uh, does his
29:45
thing. My friend Danny, he said, to get Jim Harbaugh as the
29:51
head coach of the Chicago Bears as a possibility, we don't know. And
29:56
Becky Rasman said to work on my new songs for my fourth EP, continue
30:00

That'll be fun and I'll read them next week because next week the first
31:00
show of twenty twenty four. So yeah, let's go and look up some
31:04
fun stuff from the year, because this was a pretty decent year, depending
31:10
on, you know how you feel about it. It's still a lot better
31:14
than what we had to deal with COVID when COVID was going on, So
31:18
at least we're not back at that point yet, but we'll see what happens.
31:21
So celebrity, we'll start out with celebrity deaths of twenty twenty three.
31:29
Obviously there was a lot, you know, there was a lot of big
31:33
ones. The biggest one to me was Matthew Perry, and I think he
31:37
was the biggest for most people. I didn't see that coming, you know,
31:41
obviously, you know, as the years go by, people get older.
31:45
Eventually people from TV shows that you watch your whole life are going to
31:49
pass away. It happens. But I think he was way too soon.
31:56
Definitely, definitely way too soon. So Matthew Perry to me was number one.
32:00
But here's the list of people who have passed away. I'm going to
32:05
read off the really big ones, and this was for the whole year.
32:08
So I'll start out with Matthew Perry because he's my favorite. He wasn't the
32:12
most recent. There were some after him, but he to me was the
32:16
biggest one because I was a huge Friends fan, so for him to have
32:20
passed away. He was my favorite character on the show, so I still
32:23
watch it and tear up when I see him once in a while. So
32:27
Matthew Perry, Andrew Brager. He was a actor. He died at the
32:31
age of sixty one. That was actually just December tenth, so a couple
32:35

Chicago shows. He passed away at the age of one oh one and December
33:07

33:13

33:21
age of one hundred on November twenty eighth. That's crazy. Gene King She
33:27

33:38

33:45

34:51
Dianne Feinstein. She was something political. Obviously, I don't really know a
34:57
lot about politics, but she was. She passed away at the age of
35:00
ninety. Michael Gambit, I believe he's from I don't you know. I
35:06

35:08
actor. He died at the age of eighty two. Brooks Robinson baseball player,
35:13

35:46
Is Right. We all did. That was sad resting. Bob Barker also
35:51

35:55
that doesn't know him from Price Is Right probably knows him from that movie.
36:00

36:04
at the age of seventy nine. Very very sad right there. Let's see

July thirtieth and twenty twenty three. One of my favorite singers of all time,
36:27
Shenead O'Connor. She passed away at the age of fifty six. Snat
36:35

36:39
nothing Compares to You. That's one of my favorites of all time.
36:44
And yeah, that was hard. Tony Bennett, that one hit hard because
36:46

there. Alan Arkin, great actor that was said to Bobby Osborne, died
37:01
at the age of ninety one. Let's see Tree Williams great actor. He
37:08
died at seventy one. In fact, I don't remember, but was he
37:14
sever rides father from Chicago Fire? I think he was. I'm pretty sure
37:17
he was sever Ride's father, but let me see if it'll say if he
37:23
was in Chicago Fire. But I think so. Let me check on that.
37:27
Hey, got one second, Yes, he did play Benny Severide on
37:30
the TV show Chicago Fire, and actually sever Ride's father in the show passed
37:37
away. I believe it was the season that he got married, or the
37:40
season right before that, so like season eight or nine, so he wouldn't
37:45
have came back anyway for the show. So since he passed away in real
37:49
life, yeah, that was kind of sad. The Iron Chic I think
37:54
everybody remember was the Iron Cheek. He was a very big crap talker.

41:47
even get to mention, So imagine how long that would go if that were

the case. So, yeah, it's sad we lose a lot of celebrities
41:54

42:00
like people to last a little longer than that, but you know what,

the rundown of the Oscar Awards twenty twenty three. If you want to see
56:39
a good movie from the year, apparently all you gotta do is watch Everything
56:44
Everywhere, All at Once. You know. That seemed like that was the
56:49
movie of the year for everybody to watch. Really quick, let's go over
56:53
who are the sports teams that won the sports in twenty twenty because obviously there
57:00
was a lot. So we'll kick it off with the beginning of the year.
57:04
February twelfth, the Super Bowl Kansas City Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles thirty
57:08
eight to thirty five after trailing at halftime twenty four to fourteen. Patrick Mahomes
57:15
was the MVP. The halftime show was performed by Rihanna, who announced her
57:20
pregnancy at that event. NHL Stanley Cup was June third to June thirteenth of
57:25
twenty twenty three. The Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Florida Panthers four games to
57:31
one in the best of seven series. The MVP of the Cup was Jonathan
57:36
Marschalt of the Knights, and this was their first ever Stanley Cup title.
57:43
Let's see. The NBA Finals were June first to June twelfth, twenty twenty
57:45
three. The Denver Nuggets defeated the Miami Heat four games to one in the
57:50
best of seven series. The MVP of the NBA Finals was Nikolai Joeick of
57:55
the Denver Nuggets. This was their first ever NBA title. Major League Baseball
58:00
World Series was October twenty seventh to November one, twenty twenty three. The
58:06
Texas Rangers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks four to one in a best of seventh series.
58:10
The MVP was Corey Seeger of Texas Rangers. This was their first ever
58:15
World Series title in team history. NASCAR Cup Champion was Ryan Blanley, he
58:22

58:29
who joined Jack Nicholas and Tiger Woods as the only players to win three PGA
58:34
titles in the stroke play era, who became the twentieth player to win five
58:39
majors. And then finally, the WNBA Championship was October eighth to October eighteenth,
58:45
twenty twenty three, the Las Vegas Aces defeated the New York Liberty three
58:51
games to one in the best of five series. The MVP was Ajia Wilson.
58:55
The Aces became the first team in twenty one years and only the third
59:00
in history to repeat as WNBA champions So that's amazing. Vegas won two titles
59:07
that year, the WNBA Championship and the Stanley Cup. It was first year
59:13
championships for the Vegas Golden Knights, the Denver Nuggets, and the Texas Rangers
59:20
all so that's amazing. Three out of the four championships were won by brand
59:23
new teams. I love when that happens in sports because it's nice to have
59:29
different teams win the Kansas City Chiefs that was before Taylor and Kelsey. Just
59:36
to let everybody know, yeah, they were not dating at that time,
59:38
yet they started dating this year. They are the hit of twenty twenty three.
59:43
By the way, Taylor Swift is the woman of twenty twenty three.
59:46
Her and Beyonce and then of course Mario Robbie playing Barbie. Those are like
59:52
the three top women of the year. And the one that wrote and directed
59:57
Barbie two obviously she was big two. But yeah, I'm telling you now,
1:00:01
that is the big part of the year, and that is great.
1:00:05
Women really dominate at twenty twenty three, and I'm excited for that. That
1:00:07
should happen once in a while, it should happen every year. Women really
1:00:10
do make the world go round, as much as guys who don't like women
1:00:14
don't like to admit that, it's true. So let's go into the top
1:00:21
songs of twenty twenty three, and let's see what made the top twenty so
1:00:28
and actually let's do twenty three since we're in twenty twenty three. So I
1:00:30
gotta go down on this list of Rolling Stone. So let's see forty to
1:00:37
twenty one. If it'll let me not there we go. Now, I
1:00:44
did it, okay, So let's find twenty three and go down from there.
1:00:51
And you know, well, let's just do the top twenty because this
1:00:52
is acting stupid. So let's just do the top twenty songs of twenty twenty
1:01:00
three. So let's see. Okay, So yeah, we'll do twenty three.
1:01:02
So number twenty three is Sexy Red Sky Never heard of that one,
1:01:07
Meghan Moraine with Sleep on My Side at number twenty two. Number twenty one
1:01:15
is Grupo Frontra and Bad Bunny un x one. That might be I think
1:01:22

1:02:14
Let's see. Number thirteen is boy Genius was Not strong Enough. Number twelve
1:02:20

1:02:30
number ten Victoria mone was on My Mama. Number nine was Billie Eilish What
1:02:38

two, and the number one song of twenty twenty three is is lebon Armando
1:03:30

1:03:36
twenty twenty three. So make sure you go check out Rolling Stones Top one
1:03:39
hundred and go check out all the songs. You got a few more days
1:03:42
to jam out to twenty twenty three before we kick off twenty twenty four.
1:03:46
And one last thing I wanted to look at before we go was the top
1:03:52
movies of twenty twenty three. So we know who won the Oscars, but
1:03:57
who was the top movies of twenty twenty three. Let's go through that list.
1:04:01
There's thirty of them, so let's just do all thirty, the top
1:04:05
thirty best movies of twenty twenty three. Alright, so they started number one,
1:04:10
but we're not gonna do that. That's stupid. We start at number
1:04:13
thirty. You start from the last to the first, alright, So okay,
1:04:19
that's weird. So it starts at number twenty on this So it was
1:04:24
gonna do the top twenty because that's kind of weird. Okay, So at
1:04:27
number twenty was Magic Mike's Last Dance with Channing Tatum. I don't know why
1:04:31
I see that in the top twenty, but okay, I guess I get
1:04:34
it. Number nineteen was cat Person. Number eighteen was Oppenheimer, which that
1:04:42
shocks me coming to at number eighteen. Number seventeen was Killers of the Flower
1:04:47
Moon with Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert de Niro and Brendan Fraser. That's a pretty
1:04:53
good list of people in that movie. Let's see Number sixteen m night Shu.
1:05:00
One was Knock at the Cabin. I saw that with my wife and
1:05:02
with Batista on it. That movie is actually pretty decent. If you want
1:05:06
to see a decent sci fi type movie, check out Knock at the Cabin.
1:05:10
That was good. Number fifteen was Close. Number fourteen was You Hurt
1:05:15
My Feelings. Let's see. Number thirteen was Saltburn, Number twelve was Passages.
1:05:28
Number eleven was Dix the Musical. And now we're getting to the top
1:05:32
ten here is Number ten was Wonka, which is actually funny because that movie
1:05:38
just came out in December, but they put that at number fifteen. I
1:05:42
don't know how that happened. Number nine was Priscilla, the movie about Elvis
1:05:46
and Priscilla that just came out recently too, so make sure you see that
1:05:50
one. I saw Elvis that was a good biopic. This one I'm gonna
1:05:54
see two when it comes out on streaming services. Number eight was Foe.
1:06:01
Seven was Anyone but You. Number six was Ferrari Let's See. Number five
1:06:12
was Renaissance, a film by Beyonce and that showed her world to her Let's
1:06:18
see. Number Number four was Mady December. Number three was Mustaro. Number
1:06:29
two, of course was Barbie. That was I don't know how that's not
1:06:31
number one, honestly, I don't know how they rank these. But a
1:06:35
movie that made like as much money as Adam surprised not number one, but
1:06:40
now I got number two, and number one was Past Lives. That was
1:06:45
the number one movie. So everything that movie, everything all about You or
1:06:48
whatever, that did not even come in the top twenty. So I'm spread
1:06:51
magic Mike beat it, which I'm shocked by that, But then again,
1:06:56
they go based on different criteria. I'm guessing for this list, and I
1:07:00
think it's all in the court of public opinion with that, So that yeah,
1:07:03
So it's been a great year. Twenty twenty three has been a pretty
1:07:08
good year all around for a lot of things. We've had some tragedies,
1:07:12
but we've also had some good stuff happen. We've had some good sports,
1:07:15
We've had some good movies, some good music. I hope everybody had a
1:07:19
great year, and for the ones that didn't have a great year, be
1:07:24
optimistic about twenty twenty four. Take twenty twenty three in the next three days
1:07:29
and erase it from your mind, because you only got three days left in
1:07:32
this year. Even if you're still going through whatever struggle you went through for
1:07:36
the whole year, right now, things can look up in twenty twenty four,
1:07:41
but you have to have the mindset to let that happen. I hope
1:07:44
everybody has a great weekend. Enjoy the last three days of twenty twenty three,
1:07:47
and make twenty twenty four your bitch, because honestly, you make the
1:07:55
year what it is, and even through good and bad, you can all
1:08:00
get back to the good. Bad has to happen to everybody in life,
1:08:04
but you make good happen and you could do it. So make sure you
1:08:09
enjoy this weekend. Stay safe out there, don't become a victim during this
1:08:13
weekend of drunk driving or anything. I know everyone's gonna be partying on Sunday
1:08:16
night. It's New Year's Eve. A lot of people have New Year's Day
1:08:19
off, so you can, you know, drink and have fun, but
1:08:23
honestly, be careful this weekend. Stay home if you can, you know,
1:08:26
stay home with your family, have fun with them. If you're gonna
1:08:30
go out to a bar and you're young, or you're gonna go out to
1:08:32
a club or wherever, make sure you get a hotel room close, or
1:08:36
make sure you get an uber or have a designated driver, because you don't
1:08:41
want to have the last night of the year or the first day of the
1:08:44
new year to be a bad day for your family that loses you. You're
1:08:46
important to me, You're important to everybody out there. Just remember that.
1:08:51
So enjoy twenty twenty three's last couple of days, and I will see everybody
1:08:56
next week for the first show of twenty twenty four. Let's get it,
1:09:00
let's do it. I'll see everybody later. Have a good weekend, have
1:09:03
a great New year. Peace out.
