UFC president Dana White spoke to a crowd of media before the upcoming UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas, Nevada this weekend. White is under fire for being caught slapping his wife in on New Year’s Eve in Cabo, Mexico, ironically weeks before the premier of his new Slap-Fighting League show on TBS.

White noted at the press conference that there was no excuse for his action and that it’s something he would have to “deal with” for the rest of his life. He said, “One thing I do want to clarify … is the people that are defending me. There’s never an excuse. I’m sure you guys have read some of the same stuff that I’ve seen. There’s no defense for this. People should not be defending me, no matter what. All the criticism that I’ve received this week, and will receive in the future, is 100-percent warranted.”

In terms of a possible punishment, he decided he would come up with one on his own. “What should the repercussions be? You tell me. I take 30 days off?” White asked. “How does that hurt me? Me leaving hurts the company. Hurts my employees. Hurts the fighters. Doesn’t hurt me. I could have left in 2016. Do I need to reflect? No, I don’t need to reflect. The next morning when I woke up … I own this. I’m telling you that I’m wrong.”

While I cannot speak for the rest of Q101, I personally find it fascinating that White gets to decide that he can skirt any sort of penalty, especially when he has been outspoken about people even joking about domestic violence in the past.

Hopefully this multi-millionaire can recover from a temporality bruised ego.

Arguably the greatest documentary of all-time, Titanic, will return to theaters next month as the film celebrates its 25th anniversary. Crew Members may remember the special place that this movie has in Justin’s heart, as not only was his great-grandma on the Titanic, but this was also the first time that he saw boobs.

Metra has officially announced a new real-time train tracker that will give commuters up-to-date departure times, real-time mapping of trains, and the ability to plan out trips within the system. In order to implement the new system, Metra officials say that GPS trackers have been installed at more than 200 stations, along with more than 1,000 train cars. The rollout is expected to last for several months, with more trains added as the year moves along, the agency says.

Per NBC 5, “The tracker, clocking in at a cost of $26.7 million according to the agency, will roll out on Union Pacific lines, as well as the Southwest Service line, which serves the city’s southwestern suburbs, and the BNSF line, which serves the western suburbs.”

“Where I’m from, you can’t afford to be depressed.” G-Unit rapper 50 Cent went off on a radio show this week. He noted, “depression is a luxury.” The Queens-born rapper went on to say, “You gotta pay the bills, right? So you gotta go to work,” he said. “You gotta get up, gotta go do what you gotta do. You got people right now that’s at work that don’t feel like being there. But they got responsibilities.”

Move over, Boston. Chicago now has the second worst traffic in the world, according to the analytics firm Inrix. They lead the country in congestion, only trailing London on a global scale. The average Chicago driver lost 155 hours sitting in traffic in 2022, up from 104 hours in 2021, and marking the second year in a row that Chicago nabbed the top spot in the United States.

Per WGN, the report points to fewer people choosing public transportation as one of the reasons there’s more congestion. Average weekday ridership on CTA buses and trains in October was only at 56% of the amount it was in 2019, and Metra weekday ridership for November was at 44% of pre-pandemic levels.

Justin was pacing around his home in Palatine last night when he brought up a very valid question, based off this TikTok that he ran across. Can you return cheese? A woman certainly needs to after she ordered .25 pounds of cheese, but 30 pounds showed up to her door.

Do you think it’s okay to return this cheese? The conversation lives on Facebook!
