Speaker 1 (00:25):
Welcome to your Thursday to September 3rd on Mix 102.9.
My name is Billy the Kid. Candace Lopez is here.
Producer Poo is here bright and early. Candace, how are you?

Speaker 2 (00:34):
I'm good. I'm good. I realize you were talking the
other day about all of a sudden you're just wanting
to clean. You didn't know if it was like your
birthday this week or what the deal was getting rid
of stuff. Did you see this thing on TikTok that's
showing like September is basically like the new January?

Speaker 1 (00:47):
I saw that. They were like, everybody's doing their new
thing and resolutions as the start of the school year
instead of doing it in January.

Speaker 5 (00:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
It's like self-improvement time, like fresh starts, new routines and goals.
So I guess people say like, you know, back to school.
This is a whole new chapter. So time to declutter.
Think about your resolutions that you made in January. And
maybe it's also like a heads up if you haven't
started it.

Speaker 7 (01:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Now's a good time. You got a few more months.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Well, I saw something else. Somebody's trying to pass a
law saying they want to change the whole calendar to
five months.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Okay, I saw that too.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
I was like, wait, huh?

Speaker 2 (01:21):
It's interesting because, like, why are we like this?

Speaker 1 (01:24):
I don't know. Listen, it's too early to figure it out.
But they were basically saying if we got rid of,
if we made every month the same.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Same length, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Same length. We'd have exactly so many months. And I'm like,
we're not going to change the calendar.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
We're not. But why do we break it into 12
and then some months have whatever, some months have. I
have to like go on my knuckles. You know the
little trick where you go on your knuckles to like
remember which months have how many days?

Speaker 1 (01:46):
No, I don't. But you taught me that and I
was so confused.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah. That's how I know it. Like the knuckle January, February, March, April.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
She's touching her knuckles right now and I couldn't tell
you why.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah, you go on the top and then in between
to remember. It's a whole thing. You have to see it.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Mine are ashy. It's kind of hard, but okay.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Why do we do this?

Speaker 3 (02:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
It's some kind of thing that we've done for a
long time for a reason, but I'm too dumb to
get into it.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
We just keep going with it, but yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
And why not at this point? Why not?

Speaker 2 (02:12):
I guess so.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
At this point. Producer Pooh, what's up with you?

Speaker 8 (02:15):
Man, yesterday I discovered a new little trail by my house.
I got my bike back, so I was riding my
bike around, and I came across a few runners, and
And I was like, behind you. And they kind of
looked at me crazy.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
And I kept riding or whatever. And I did it again.
And this guy goes, hey, he flagged me down.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
He goes, hey, man. The proper etiquette is to say,
on your left.

Speaker 9 (02:38):
Right.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
And I was like... On your left.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
On your left, yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
I was like, he goes, because when you say behind you,
people don't... They're like, what?

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Right. Of course you're behind me.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, everybody's behind me.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
And I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
I was like, oh. Oh, you got to say on
your left, on your right, so they know which way
you're going, so they know which way to move. Yeah.
It's a courtesy thing.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:57):
So.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah, I found that out yesterday.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
I was like, why are these people staring.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
At me all crazy?

Speaker 3 (03:03):
I'm like, I'm behind you.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
You're supposed to have like a little bell too.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Oh, well, I don't have a bell on my bike.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
You need a bell.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
A bell?

Speaker 1 (03:10):
For what?

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, you can give them a heads up.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Just a ding-ding, so they know you're coming if you're
going to ride on a train. I'm not even kidding you.

Speaker 7 (03:16):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Let me see if he's left.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
No, he's trying to figure out.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
No, it's smart.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
It's smart to have.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Y'all are both being for real.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
At some point, you're too far for them to hear
you say on your left, so you click the bell,
and then when you get a little closer, then you
say on your left.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Now that's etiquette.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
No, I had a bell on my bike when I
was riding trails and doing all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
I guess I'll go get a bell.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Or you can just do a bell sound with your mouth.
Do it. On your left.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Do that today at the trail.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
It's better than nothing.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Do that. Please, thank you. I got to thank everybody
at the Rangers. I had so much fun yesterday throwing
the first pitch out, which was, I don't know, it
was kind of like a little mini dream come true.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
No, it is.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
So thank you to the Rangers. It was such a
fun experience. Everybody's so nice. Tyler's amazing over there. Tyler's
so great at the Rangers. He's just so, he makes
you feel like, I was practicing back there.

Speaker 7 (04:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Behind, you know, I don't know where the players come
out and stuff beforehand. He's like, yeah, we'll get you
a ball. And then I hit Pooh in the knee.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Oh, Lord, he tore my knee up.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Well, it was a good throw, Candice.

Speaker 7 (04:23):
It was.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
It was, for real.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
You saw. And then he didn't catch it and hit
his knee.

Speaker 6 (04:26):
Right.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah. When I got out there, my throw was pretty
good for opposite-handed.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
It was, yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Really good. I was proud of you.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Could it have been better?

Speaker 10 (04:35):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, but, I mean, you didn't have a lot of notice.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
You have a broken hand. I mean, you did good.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
And the catcher said I did good.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, Travis Jankowski was the one catching for you.

Speaker 7 (04:46):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
So it's not like he had to, like, move a
whole lot to get the ball. He just scooped it
right up. It was right in the general area where
it needed to be.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
It was a little bit low.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah, that's okay.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
It wouldn't have been a strike, but I'm not a pitcher.

Speaker 7 (04:57):
Right.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
But Travis was great. He made me feel good. He goes, hey,
for opposite hand, that was great. You did good, though.
That's all I needed to hear.

Speaker 7 (05:03):
Right.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
102.9.

Speaker 7 (05:04):
The new Mix 102.9.

Speaker 11 (05:06):
It's Texas Top Stories on the 10s with Billy the
Kid in the morning.

Speaker 7 (05:12):
Only on the new Mix 102.9. Candace Lopez, what.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Is going on?

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Well, investigators are now saying they know what caused the
Ross Fire in Palo Pinto County. Forest Service teams say
it was human caused and originated from equipment or vehicle
use associated with the roadside. So they originally said it
was caused by a blown tire. They haven't been able
to confirm the source of the ignition, but they're saying
because of the location, this made it worse because there

(05:37):
was no shoulder where this tire blew. So there's basically
just grass there, which, of course, started the blaze. That
fire has now burned more than 90,000 acres since last Monday.
It's only 38 percent contained at this point. But, yeah,
it's going to be a while before this thing gets
put out.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
That's scary. Did you see that when I was leaving
the game yesterday? Obviously, in Arlington, there was a big
fire in Grand Prairie.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
I did see that. I don't know what it was
or where.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
I guess it was a brush fire. Wow. I don't
know exactly what was going on, but it was not good.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
I mean, we're about to hit 50 days with no
rain if we don't see any today.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, I know. Well, we might see some today, they're saying.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah, there's a chance. Southeastern counties... have the better chance.
I think there is some pretty significant rain out there,
but if you're west of DFW, you're probably not getting anything. Yeah,
I know.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
So we'll see. It's not supposed to hit 90 today, though.
It's supposed to be a little bit cooler.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, we'll see. I hope so. Guys, Gas Buddy says
Labor Day weekend could be the most expensive ever at
the gas pump. The national average projected to hit $ 4. 03
a gallon. That's 87 cents higher than last year. I
guess the previous Labor Day record was in 2012. Gas
then was $ 3. 83 a gallon, but they're saying we could

(06:54):
get some relief later this month as demand drops and
cheaper winter gas comes back. But just a heads up.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Well, I was going to mention this later on, and
I still am, but I'm going to get into it.
Getting gas yesterday when I left the game about to
run out.

Speaker 7 (07:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
I stop and get gas and almost get into a
fight with a guy at the gas station. Oh, this
is only my I'm going to talk about it at
650 because I couldn't believe it. But literally, it's some
random gas station leaving the Rangers game. With one hand,
I'm like, if I have to, oh, I was so mad.
I'll tell you at 6.50 what happens.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Real quick, guys. Rumors are stirring back up about Miley
possibly being the Super Bowl halftime performer. Of course, after
her rebrand and big album announcement this week, the NFL
is set to make this announcement this month. But she
reportedly turned down an invitation to headline Coachella next year.
So we'll see if that comes. But by the way,

(07:51):
Billy Ray Cyrus also addressing Miley dropping her last name online.
He made a big post about it saying, I always
called my little girl Miley, just Miley. I told her
I felt good about her going with her first name.
And then he goes on to mention, you know, Dolly
share Elvis Prince. He says this is a natural progression
for an iconic superstar legend. But sources are saying he

(08:13):
secretly feels hurt that you can tell yourself this is
a rebrand. But, you know, it still stings, which I
can imagine.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Did she break his heart?

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Oh, his achy, breaky heart. Maybe just a little bit.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
I'm sorry, but I couldn't stop thinking that the whole
time you're doing that story. I like just Miley. That's
what we call her anyway.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah, she has that line. She's just being Miley or
I'm just being Miley.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
She's just being Miley. You're fine.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
No, I think it works. I'm Candace Lopez. Those are
your Texas Top Stories.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Got real or fake news coming up next on Mix 102.9.
Good morning. It's Billy the Kid, Candace Lopez, producer Pooh.
$ 250 gift card to Living Spaces right now for first caller.
Who's this?

Speaker 5 (08:50):
This is Daniel Nirmala.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
What's up, Daniel? Guess what? You're caller number one. Congratulations.

Speaker 9 (08:56):
Oh, man, that's fantastic.

Speaker 10 (08:58):
There you go.

Speaker 5 (08:58):
Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Of course, you're welcome. Where are you from?

Speaker 4 (09:02):
Azle, Texas.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Oh, Azle, awesome.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
You going to work right now?

Speaker 10 (09:04):
I sure am.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
What does Daniel do?

Speaker 5 (09:08):
I'm an electrician.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Oh, there you go.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
How many times have you been electrocuted?

Speaker 10 (09:13):
Electrocuted?

Speaker 5 (09:14):
Not once, because electrocution is death. I've been shocked many times.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Oh, God. Oh, good. Got to clarify that. So you've
been shocked many times.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
Yes, I've been shocked many times.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
It does not feel good. I got shocked once. I'm like,
that was really painful. That sucked.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
How does that compare to when you're on the carpet
and then you touch someone? Is it the same or no?

Speaker 5 (09:38):
It depends on the voltage. Okay, that's the only way
I've been shocked. You've got one in there, 277, 480,
600 volts. It depends.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
What if I were to stick a metal fork into
a socket?

Speaker 7 (09:51):
What happens? Please don't.

Speaker 5 (09:53):
Yeah, depending on the metal, don't use silver.

Speaker 10 (09:56):
It will hit you harder.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Oh, really? wow okay who would try that here's.

Speaker 5 (10:01):
A fork no no i that's the thing i did
it when i was four years old i took my
mom's uh silver silverware i found that butter knife i
was gonna help her doing spring cleaning And there was
a broken cover plate for one of the plugs, and
I was like, I'm going to go fix this. And
as I'm trying to unscrew it with this silver butter knife,
it slipped, went into the socket. And my mom told me,

(10:25):
she said all she remembers was a light flickering and
a thud. That was flying across the room.

Speaker 10 (10:31):
No!

Speaker 8 (10:32):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, and now you're an electrician.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Exactly. Well, good for you, Daniel. Well, thank you for
what you do, man. Electricians, carpenters, everybody, you're so important
to us. So we thank you for what you do,
and you stay right there so we can hook you up, okay?

Speaker 6 (10:47):
Awesome.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Oh, man. Yeah, I did that when I was a kid.
I accidentally touched the socket, you know, and I just
remember I couldn't get my hand off of it.

Speaker 11 (10:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (10:55):
What?

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, that explains a lot of my mental issues. All right,
real or fake news, I'm going to give you three headlines.
You're going to tell me which one is fake, and
sometimes the news is crazy. It's hard to tell. Headline
number one, are you ready?

Speaker 7 (11:05):
Dot.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Man arrested for skinny dipping, dot, dot, dot, in a
stranger's pool.

Speaker 7 (11:12):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Then bites cops.

Speaker 7 (11:14):
What?

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Man arrested for skinny dipping, dot, dot, dot, in stranger's pool,
then bites cops.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
All right, so headline number two. Dyson launches a $ 500 toothbrush.
with an AI-powered camera and Wi-Fi. Dyson launches a $ 500
toothbrush with an AI-powered camera and Wi-Fi. Headline number three,
employee fired for scheduling fake meetings just to eat lunch alone.

(11:45):
employee fired for scheduling fake meetings just to eat lunch alone.
Don't want to talk to nobody. You have three headlines
right there. You got to tell me which one do
you think is the fake headline out of the three?
Candace Lopez, you want to go first? You want to
pass it to LaPoopoo?

Speaker 2 (12:01):
I'm going to pass it to LaPoopoo today.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Okay, LaPoopoo, which one is fake?

Speaker 8 (12:05):
I'm going to go with the last story, scheduling fake meetings.

Speaker 7 (12:09):
Oh, really?

Speaker 8 (12:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Lock me in.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
I feel like that is something I know I might do.

Speaker 7 (12:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Just to have some alone time.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
It's really smart.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 7 (12:17):
Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Sorry I'm busy. Because there's some people just always, you know,
when you have like a regular job, you have the
pressure of eating lunch with people. At least I did
back in the day.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, no, that's true. And now people can see if
your calendar's blocked off, I guess.

Speaker 7 (12:28):
Right.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
So you just block it off.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah, smart.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Absolutely. All right, you're locked in. Now, Candace Lopez, which
one do you think is the fake story?

Speaker 2 (12:36):
I like this toothbrush story a lot, but I actually
kind of hope that's real. So lock me in for
the first one, the skinny dipper biting the cops.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Now that sounds real. That sounds like something that just
happened in Mesquite yesterday. All right, let's lock that in.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yeah, let's see.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
And the winner today is Producer Pooh. Okay, there you go.
Producer Pooh with the dub. All right, that means that
is the fake story. The employee didn't get fired for
scheduling fake meetings. That was just something, you know, something
I thought of because, wow, that'd be nice. Schedule fake

(13:12):
meetings so you look busy so other people can't schedule
meetings because meetings are the worst thing ever.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Right.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
I'm sorry, but I just hate meetings.

Speaker 6 (13:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Unless my boss is listening, then I love meetings. Especially
with you. They're great.

Speaker 7 (13:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
All my bosses.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Super short.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Let's get into the story about this man arrested for
skinny dipping. In a stranger's pool, then he bites cops.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
What?

Speaker 1 (13:31):
I'll give you one guess on where this happened.

Speaker 7 (13:33):
Florida.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
You can't make this up. I mean, Florida is... I
love Florida.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah, same.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
But every other story we get that is just... If
it's the heat that gets to them, if it's just
they're bored, if it's... I don't know. 24-year-old man in
the Florida Keys facing charges after deputies say they found
him naked in a private swimming pool in Marathon. Authorities
say Roshan Rock Jean... You see, lock him up.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Roshan Rock.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
If you got a name like that, you just should
immediately be locked up because I just know nothing good
is happening with you. Roshan Rock Gene?

Speaker 3 (14:08):
Just sounds bad.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, that sounds, I don't even know what it sounds like.
It just sounds like trouble. Either way, he was reported
walking naked in public. Then deputies go to look for
him and they can't find him. So they're like, I
don't know, you know, because... You got a report of
a naked man just walking around your neighborhood. You're going
to call the police.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Surely we'll see him.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Surely we're going to find him.

Speaker 7 (14:26):
Somewhere.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Well, they couldn't find him. Then somebody calls and they're like,
I think this guy's in my backyard.

Speaker 7 (14:31):
No.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Because somebody's skinny dipping in my pool. So they go
back there and there he is. He's having the time
of his life. It's warm out. He's taking a little dip.
A little chunky dunk. A little chunky dunk-a-rooski.

Speaker 7 (14:43):
Oh, boy.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Either way, cops, you got to get out. But this
is a good question. Police officers out there, we respect you.
Thank you for what you do. Back the blue.

Speaker 7 (14:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
What do you do when somebody's in a pool and
you need to get them out?

Speaker 3 (14:56):
And they're naked.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
And they're naked.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Cops don't have an easy job.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
Somebody's got to wrestle them out.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Well, that's what I was going to ask you, Candace.
What do you do when that happens?

Speaker 2 (15:03):
Yeah, you got to wrestle them out. He's not coming out.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
But you can't. You have your camera. You have your gun.
You have all your uniform on your radio. Do you
get naked with him?

Speaker 2 (15:12):
I think you get in the pool, handcuff him and
then wrestle him out.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
So your your method is and I need an officer
to figure out what we do. Candace Lopez method is
I'm going to go and just jump in with my gun.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (15:25):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
I'm going to handcuff him while he's in the pool.

Speaker 7 (15:27):
How?

Speaker 1 (15:27):
But you've got to jump in. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
Well, you've got to jump in. If he's not coming out.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Okay, so you're jumping in with all your uniform, your radio.
You're ruining everything.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yeah, for sure. It's fine. We'll get more.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
Okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
There's a whole.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Closet full of that stuff, I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
It's just taxpayer dollars.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah, well, it is what it is.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Not my money. So then you go in there. Your
gun's ruined.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, well, who cares? I don't need it.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Let's just stop for a minute and thank God you
do what you do. Either way, they got him out.
They lured him out without jumping in. Once he gets out, though,
he's not happy, and he ends up biting two cops.
So he bit two cops, he's in jail, and he's
not getting out anytime soon because you can't bite cops.

(16:11):
It's frowned upon.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
Trust me.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Yeah, especially not naked.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
The Dyson story is real, so Candace, I know you're happy. Yeah,
Dyson launched a $ 500 toothbrush with an AI-powered camera and Wi-Fi.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Wi-Fi?

Speaker 1 (16:24):
So this thing, you can actually brush your teeth and
then look on your phone, and it's going to show
you in the camera where it's going in your mouth.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Yeah, so you have to use a special toothpaste. This
is a whole investment.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
But do you really want that view? You know what
I mean?

Speaker 7 (16:39):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
And then the toothbrush detects where you have plaque and
then attacks that area with a water pick and a sprayer.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
That's so smart.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Shh, shh, shh.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
It gets in there.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
I don't know if it's healthy to have a Wi-Fi
device all up in your mouth.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
See, that's my question. Everything we own eventually is just
going to be connected to Wi-Fi. Yeah. And then it
also reminds me of this story, too. Did you see,
speaking of AI and AI-powered things, the robot, one of
these stupid AI robots, he's at a store, whatever, they're
showing him off. A customer pushes the robot, tries to
push him over. The robot starts swinging.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Yeah, I saw that. It was like going back and
forth like a boxer.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Starts to try to fight the customer. Like, come at me, bro.
You can't just push me down.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Unplug that thing. Take its battery out.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
You said unplug it.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Then there's two guys wrestling with one of the robots.
I'm like, see, this is how it all starts. This
is how it all starts. It's just going to happen
to where now I'm fighting a robot with an AI toothbrush.
It's 102.9. It's Bailey the Kid. Candace Lopez is here.
Producer Poo is here. Yesterday was such a fun day.
I got to throw out the first pitch at the

(17:47):
Rangers game, which the Rangers, thank you for letting me
do that. It was so much fun. Thank you to
Tyler and everybody over there. It was kind of like
a little dream come true and the pitch wasn't that bad.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
It was good. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Congrats. Doing it opposite handed. So, I mean, yeah, we
kind of, it was low, but you know, Travis didn't
have to do it. Like he didn't have to get
up and he didn't have to move around. He just
scooped it up, and he was like, even he told me,
he was like, hey, not bad at all. And we
got to meet Ralph Barbosa, who's a comedian. He's from here.
Went to North Mesquite.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
He did?

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
Oh, how did I not know that?

Speaker 7 (18:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
I thought, how do you not know your skeet skeets?

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Well, yeah, I mean, they were our rival, the Stallions.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
Yeah, I know, I know.

Speaker 7 (18:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
That's why I'm surprised you guys didn't fight. At the ballpark.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Oh, right.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
But no, it was a great time. So I'm leaving.
So I leave yesterday. And as I'm leaving, I'm like, oh,
I got to get gas, of course. You know, because
I'm the worst at this.

Speaker 10 (18:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
So I'm getting all the way. But I'm like, oh,
I got a little more than I thought. So I
get all the way back up to, I think it
was Irving, like right off George Bush and I think Royal. Okay.
That area. There's like a big gas station that's almost
like a travel center gas station. It's huge. Matter of fact,
I think they were one of the gas stations that
were getting sued by Buc-ee's.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Oh, were they?

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Because they had like a weird. Groundhog thing. Anyway, they
changed the whole thing, so it's called something else. The
point is, I go get gas, and I do this
all the time. I always get gas, let it pump,
and I go inside, go to the restroom, whatever. Okay.
I don't think you're supposed to do that.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
Probably not.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
You don't do that?

Speaker 2 (19:16):
No.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Of course Candace doesn't. Poo, you do that.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
Oh, I've been guilty of doing that, but I don't
do it no more.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
You don't? Uh-uh.

Speaker 7 (19:24):
Why?

Speaker 10 (19:24):
Why?

Speaker 8 (19:25):
Because I went inside one time, and I wasn't even
using the restroom. I was getting something to drink, and
I looked over, and there was a dude about to grab.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
My— Hold on.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
Well, this is what happened to me.

Speaker 7 (19:38):
Really?

Speaker 1 (19:39):
So this is why I got into it with some guy,
because I I did tap to pay on the gas
pump on my phone, which I didn't even know you
could listen. I'm old school. I used to use like
a card for everything.

Speaker 7 (19:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
I've never tapped to pay at the gas station.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yeah, you could do it. It's easy. So I tapped
to pay and then I start pumping. I put it
in there, whatever, lock the car and I go up
because I'm need something to drink and go to the
bathroom real quick. And then I'm halfway like in the store.
I go, you know what? What if they don't do
tap to pay in here? Let me just go get
my wallet just in case because some places do it.
Some places don't.

Speaker 7 (20:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
I don't want to be that guy. As I turn
around and go, I'm going to go get it. I
look at the pump and there's a guy at the pump.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
Your pump?

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
What?

Speaker 1 (20:23):
My pump. Doing what? About to grab the pump. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Okay, that's always been my fear because I'm like, someone's
going to take it out of my car and put
it in their car.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
That's what he was about to do. No. You caught him?
I caught him.

Speaker 6 (20:38):
What?

Speaker 1 (20:38):
So I go up there and I'm like, hey, what
are you doing? He's right next to my car and
he's about to grab the pump. Yeah. And he's looking around.
He's acting all shady. And I was like, hey, what's up?
You good? And he goes, huh? Yeah. Well, I was
going to put it up for you. I go, well,
that's weird because there's not even 20 bucks in it yet.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
It's not full.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
So don't touch it. And as I was doing that,
he's like, oh, no, it's all good. I'm like, why
is your car so close to mine? Back up.

Speaker 10 (21:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
He had his car backed up in the pump. So
this is a thing.

Speaker 7 (21:14):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
And as I was talking about it and me and
this guy were talking, one of the employees comes out
and looks like, hey, I don't know, like he's kind
of keeping an eye on the situation. And I go, no,
I'm good. And then I knew exactly what was going on.
I'm like, no, you can get in your car and go.
And then he's like, well, do you have any gas money?
I'm like, no, no, I don't. I don't have any gas.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
I almost got scammed. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
That's why I've never done that. Cause I thought I'm
crazy for thinking that someone might do this, but how
do I know?

Speaker 1 (21:44):
And it's weird because I'm such a paranoid person. I
thought to myself, like I should have known better.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Right.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
And then I was so angry at this guy and
I was just like, you know what? Let it go. Whatever.
There's nothing you could do. Yeah. Yeah. Heads up. Don't
do that. And people have always told me, oh, there's
a chance that could happen. I'm like, yeah, right.

Speaker 7 (22:01):
Right.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Is there room? Do they even go that far? That's
always been my question.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Then I realized he was in like a smaller car
and he had backed it up to where the gas...
His gas hole?

Speaker 7 (22:10):
Right.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
That sounded... No, wait.

Speaker 6 (22:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
You know what? You get it. Never mind.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Kid in the Morning.

Speaker 7 (22:21):
Only on the new Mix 102.9. Not a chance.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
To win Usher and Chris Brown. Tickets next. Candice Lopez,
what is going on?

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Well, another day, another food recall, guys. Horizon Organic Dairy
is recalling over 53,000 cases of chocolate milk. This is
because of potential spoilage from a packaging issue, though. So
this recall affects products with specific Best Buy dates in 2027.
So these are those shelf-stable cartons. So it has nothing

(22:48):
to do with contamination or allergens. I guess this is
an issue with the seal that causes the milk to
kind of bloat up, and then, you know, it spoils faster.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, nobody wants bloated milk.

Speaker 6 (22:59):
No.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
You can't get a refund, though, if you have these.
You just have to contact Horizon. But, yeah, I see
those little boxes of chocolate milk everywhere.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah, kids love those.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
Oh, God, chocolate milk. When I was a kid, I
think I drank so much chocolate milk. I haven't had
chocolate milk in years.

Speaker 7 (23:13):
Years.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Years. Yeah, and for the longest time I thought it
only came from brown cows.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Well, it got really popular recently because in the fitness world,
they were saying, like, this is the best recovery drink
you can have is chocolate milk.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 7 (23:27):
Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
Yeah, but just a heads up, guys. The city of
Dallas has voted to keep their $ 1. 5 million flock camera program.
Dallas police are already cutting 321 flock cameras because they
are state-funded, and that program is now on hold. But
there still will be 300 flock cameras that are active.
In the city of Dallas, only three city council members

(23:50):
voted to cancel this contract. But one of the members
who was talking about the issues with them was bringing
up the point that Flock's own chief legal officer has
publicly admitted that officers tracking exes is the single most
common form of abuse with these cameras.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Right.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Dallas police say, you know, these cameras run 13000 searches
a week, but only between 2100 unique license plates.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
It just feels weird.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, it does feel weird.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
I don't know why. I just I mean, I know
there's cameras everywhere. We're going to get watched. I feel
like it's just it's too late. Yeah, it's too late
to bring it back and scale it back. But there's
something about the flock cameras. It just feels very invasive.

Speaker 7 (24:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
And I'm not sure why. Like there's cameras in the tollway.
I get it. Like, yeah, you know. But traffic cameras
feel different when these are like outside of a neighborhood.
You're just like, why?

Speaker 7 (24:40):
Right. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
If you want to see the roadways or whatever, it
seems to make sense. I mean, I guess they are
solving cases with these cameras. They say the database is
only good for a calendar year. But interesting there to
see that. But just stop abusing them.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Wait till somebody hacks it. And then all of a sudden,
you know, their watch. It just never ends.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yeah, for sure. Guys, we were talking about the new
cast of Dancing with the Stars yesterday after it got announced.

Speaker 7 (25:02):
Well, yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Two of the cast members quickly started getting some backlash online.
So Jenna Dewan is one of them and also Julia Stiles.
They're both causing a stir because people are pointing out
that Jenna is actually a professional dancer.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Right. I thought she was one of the dancers that
was like training with people.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
No, she's not one of the pros. She's one of
the cast members.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
She's a great, she's a pro dancer.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah, no, she started as backup for Janet Jackson. You know,
we obviously knew her from the Step Up movie, which
is a dance movie. Although she says, you know, she
doesn't know how to ballroom dance. Part of her dance
training is helpful, but this is a different language. And
then her partner on the show is going to be
Val this season. He spoke out to saying it's naive
to think, you know, that this show is just about dance.

(25:48):
It's about the human experience. and how much you're willing
to reveal yourself. But yeah, I mean, she's going to
be an amazing ballroom dancer.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
She's going to be just, she's a natural dancer in general.
And Pooh taught, you know, trained with her for years.
But he told us yesterday.

Speaker 7 (26:03):
Right.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Julia Stiles, though, people are saying, you know, online that
she went to Juilliard, but she didn't. That was her
character in Save the Last Dance.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
Yeah, she did.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
She's not a professionally trained dancer.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
It's not that serious anyway.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Yeah, it's not.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
What does it matter?

Speaker 2 (26:17):
But I'm looking forward to it because Amber Glenn is
on the show, and she's from here. So, yeah, we'll
keep you posted. I'm Candace Lopez. Those are your Texas
Top Stories.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Mix 102.9. Good morning. Bill of the Kid, Candace Lopez,
producer Poo. We got Dirty Little Secret coming up next.
We have the banger we're about to do first. I
got to thank everybody at the Aesthetic Society. It was
so nice. They gave me a birthday gift yesterday.

Speaker 7 (26:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
And thank you to Veronica and everybody over there. It
was so sweet. They're the best. This bath with a
candle and a gift card. And then the best oatmeal
pies I've ever had in my life.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
Dude, thanks for sharing.

Speaker 7 (26:51):
Oh, my.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
They were from the Rising Hope Bakery.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
Okay. I think over in Southlake.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah. Shout out to them, too. Oh, my. And by
the way, hold on. Wait a minute. Where are they?

Speaker 3 (27:02):
They're in there.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
They're in the other room.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Oh, they are?

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Pooh. I thought they were.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Why did you take them?

Speaker 2 (27:08):
The box is in there.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
You took them?

Speaker 8 (27:11):
I just set them in there. I didn't know if
you wanted them, you know, because you said you.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Were on your diet journey.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
So I was like, I.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Had one little piece and I'm like, I'm going to
enjoy a little piece today. And then I couldn't find them.
I wanted some of my coffee.

Speaker 7 (27:24):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
And then I couldn't find them. And I'm like, where'd
they go? And I should have known. I should have
went to Big Back Headquarters.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
You were like, yesterday you kept saying, get them away
from me.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
No, I did not.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
I said, I didn't want to eat them all. So
I was just like, you know what? Let me help
them out.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
How many are left?

Speaker 4 (27:40):
Huh?

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Oh, there's two.

Speaker 7 (27:42):
Two?

Speaker 2 (27:43):
Out of the six?

Speaker 3 (27:45):
Okay, well, hold on. I know y'all had a piece
of something yesterday.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
I had a piece, like a nibble.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
We didn't have one. I mean, I had two yesterday.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
I ain't gonna lie.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
Okay, you know I ain't gonna lie.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
They weren't your gift. Should I take him to Candace Court?

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah, if you want.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Okay, thank you. Bring him back in here. Good Lord.
I'm not even going to get my own oatmeal muffins
or whatever they were. They were so good.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
They are.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
I want to mention this real quick because are we
getting too crazy when it comes to our kids? I
love our teachers more than anything, but did you see
what this teacher is going viral for?

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Which one?

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Well, this teacher has gone viral in Houston for making a,
are you ready for this? She's created something special for
the kids so they have a safe place to do this.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
A fart corner.

Speaker 7 (28:31):
Oh!

Speaker 2 (28:32):
I did hear about this.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Did you see this?

Speaker 4 (28:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
They have created a fart corner. And I don't usually
talk about stuff like this because it's kind of gross.

Speaker 9 (28:40):
Right.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
But this is so ridiculous. It's a designated place that
everyone knows they can go to.

Speaker 6 (28:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
And she said on TikTok, which has millions of views,
that way they know they can just come over there,
you take about 10 seconds, and then you spray, and
then you just go sit back down. That way you
can do it at your discretion when you want to
in your own place, and it's where the library books are,
so nobody will know that you're doing it.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Well, you've created another problem, teacher, because now if you
go to that corner, everybody knows exactly what you're doing.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Well, yeah, but they also know when the spray comes, right?

Speaker 1 (29:11):
She's like, you just do it in your little way,
and then you just go toot and sit down.

Speaker 7 (29:14):
What?

Speaker 1 (29:15):
And I'm like, are we really doing this now? We're
creating a safe place.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Just do it. When we used to do it, we
just did it.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yeah, I just don't remember back in the day that
happening at school.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
Oh, I don't. I mean, I don't either. I remember.
I definitely didn't get detention for doing it.

Speaker 7 (29:31):
What?

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah, I might have.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
Oh, Billy.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Okay, not a proud moment, but either way.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
It's because you didn't have a fart corner.

Speaker 7 (29:38):
I did. I know.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
I should have. had one.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
You were the fart corner.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Either way, she got such a huge response that she
was shocked by it, so she went back online and said...
She posted, she goes, I'm just trying to make it
less embarrassing and give kids space, but let's not make
a mistake. They could still toot in their own seats
if they want to.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
Oh, thank you.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
We appreciate that.

Speaker 7 (30:01):
Good to know.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
So maybe we should do that at work.

Speaker 7 (30:03):
No.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Go outside the room, please.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
We'll make it Pooh's Corner.

Speaker 7 (30:06):
Get it off your chest. We promise you'll feel better.
Welcome to Dirty Little Secret.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yes, it is time to confess. I'm Mix 102.9, AbilityKid.
Candice Lopez is here. Producer Poo is here. Thank you
to Mint Dentistry, our new partner with Dirty Little Secret.
Thank you so much for that. We love that you
came on board and you're on our team now. Now
we're only going to go to you. That's all comes
down to it, right? All right. If you have a confession,
you let us know anytime you want. Now, this guy,

(30:34):
this guy just moved here. So I'm like excited because
he just started listening to the show. Now he wants
to confess. And I love this. So go ahead. Bring
it on.

Speaker 10 (30:42):
Yeah. Don't hate me, but I got a confession that
makes you sound like one of those insane baseball parents.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
OK.

Speaker 10 (30:49):
I got I basically accepted a bribe to get my
son on a certain team.

Speaker 7 (30:54):
Oh. Whoa.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
Okay. You accepted a bribe to get him on a team.

Speaker 7 (30:59):
Why?

Speaker 1 (30:59):
How did this go down? All right.

Speaker 10 (31:01):
I don't want to give too many details because people
around here would probably figure out exactly who I'm talking about.
But where we live, baseball is ridiculously competitive. You know,
it's all about who you know. And these kids aren't
even in high school yet. And, you know, they're talking
about colleges, scholarships, you know, and then certain kids, you know,

(31:21):
moving on to, like, you know, MLB, you know, and
my son's really good, really good. He's, he's, he's naturally gifted.

Speaker 6 (31:29):
Good.

Speaker 7 (31:30):
Nice.

Speaker 10 (31:30):
And I love, he loves baseball. And so he eventually
coaches from some pretty high level premier travel team started
calling me and basically recruiting him. Right.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Travel teams that, you know, I mean, but I believe
it because I know my son, he stopped playing baseball,
but it's the same with football's even worse around here. Oh,
it gets crazy.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
Cause we're deep in the baseball and hearing about all
the drama.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
Oh, it starts. The drama starts. You got to get
on certain teams to get good looks. They started talking
about high school coat. It's it's wild. So Coaches start
calling you, which is good for you. I mean, if
your kid's great and he loves it. Yeah.

Speaker 10 (32:07):
There was this one particular high profile team my son
really wanted to go for. And the coach reached out
to me and we had some conversations. And it turns
out we both work in the same industry. And that's
when things got weird. Because doing one of the conversations,
he basically told me, hey, if your son plays for
my team, I can guarantee you a position at my company.

Speaker 7 (32:28):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
So he, he guaranteed you a position. So your kid
plays for my team. Then dad will get a job.
You'll get a job with his company.

Speaker 10 (32:42):
Right.

Speaker 7 (32:42):
Right.

Speaker 10 (32:42):
I thought it was a joke at first.

Speaker 5 (32:44):
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 10 (32:44):
Like, We're talking about kids playing baseball here.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Okay. I'd be like, are you serious?

Speaker 1 (32:50):
I wouldn't even expect that. So no, in.

Speaker 10 (32:53):
My defense, this was probably the team we're going to choose. Anyway,
my son wanted to go play there and it's a
great opportunity for him. So we picked a team.

Speaker 3 (33:00):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (33:01):
We picked a team and the coach was a man
of his word. Like, Soon after, I got a position
at his company, basically doubled my salary.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
So you're working for him now. So you're working with
the coach, his company, and he was legit. It was
a legit offer.

Speaker 11 (33:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Is this legal?

Speaker 1 (33:21):
It feels illegal.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
I mean, they do this all the time.

Speaker 8 (33:23):
My 14-year-old son, his friend, his dad got a job,
a brand new job in Chicago.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
Melissa, Texas. And they moved out there.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
He's real good in football. Oh, okay. Well, that was
to move. Okay. Now, I've heard of that happening before. Like, hey,
we want you to play for our school. Right. So
move schools. But you'd need a reason to move out here. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Like travel baseball?

Speaker 6 (33:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
It gets serious early. Wow. Wow. Okay. You're committed to this.
And now, what if something happens with the baseball team?

Speaker 7 (33:53):
Right.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
Your son doesn't, I mean, I guess you're going to
build a relationship with this guy either way, but I mean,
good for you, I guess, for doubling your salary. I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
That's hard to pass up.

Speaker 10 (34:02):
Listen, man, my son is thrilled. He's playing for a
team he wanted. That's what it's all about. I'm in
a much better position financially and career wise. Everybody wins. Okay.
So the only thing though, is that I haven't told
anyone how it happened and not even my wife. And
she thinks my new job and her son making this
team happen around the same time by complete coincidence. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
I really, so she, okay. She doesn't know.

Speaker 11 (34:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (34:30):
I mean, I'm sort of pointing to letting this stay
like that.

Speaker 7 (34:36):
All right.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
That's, it seems like a lot.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
I mean, I don't, yeah, that's definitely a conversation we
have together before we agree to it.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
Let me ask Candace. Cause you're a baseball mom.

Speaker 4 (34:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
If this happens in, you know, there's a situation where
your son could get on a good team or a
certain team and, Hey, you know, I can get you, Eric,
I can get you a job doing this. If your
son picks our team and it works out good for everyone.
Do you do it?

Speaker 2 (34:59):
That's hard to pass up.

Speaker 6 (35:00):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Both ends.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
You know, she can be bought. Candace can be bought.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
I mean, these coaches are picking who they want on
their travel teams anyways, right?

Speaker 1 (35:10):
They are.

Speaker 7 (35:10):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
They are. I just.

Speaker 6 (35:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
I mean, yeah. If he's good enough to play on
the team and that's the team we.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
Want to play on. That's fair.

Speaker 7 (35:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
If he's not good enough or there's some reverse situation.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Where you're bribing the coach, that feels way different.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Right.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
But what if something happens to your kid?

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Like.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
An injury, you get fired from your job.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
No.

Speaker 3 (35:35):
Everything's baking. So what if something happens to his son?

Speaker 2 (35:38):
I mean, how much do you trust this guy?

Speaker 1 (35:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
You're fired.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
Geez.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Well, I mean, for now, he's making more money.

Speaker 7 (35:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Worry about that when the day comes. Yeah, look at that. Well, sir,
thank you so much, and I appreciate your confession, and
let us know what happens, and hopefully you'll have a
great season.

Speaker 6 (35:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
All right, thank you.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
It does feel kind of illegal, though. I don't know why,
but it just does.

Speaker 7 (36:02):
The new Mix 102.9. All right. It's time for Candice Court.

Speaker 5 (36:10):
It gets settled here with Billy the Kid in the morning.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Get up, stand up, thou shall put your hands up
and rise. for the Honorable Judge Candace Lopez as she
enters the courtroom with her hoodie, her Bucky's blanket, another blanket,
14 blankets, maybe some sliced apples, maybe some kale. Who
knows what she's got going on over there? She's got apples. Okay.
You also have some justice ready to be served.

Speaker 7 (36:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
It's Mix 102.9 Candace Court. Here we go. Now, if
you've got an issue you want Candace to solve, at
Candace on air, at Candace on air on Instagram. I
have issues with my husband's family and I need to
vent about it. That's what this woman says. She says,
Candace Corp, please help me decide if I have a
reason to be upset or not. We had not seen
that side of the family in six months, and in time,

(36:57):
I lost a substantial amount of weight, and I'm healthier
than I've ever been before. The weight loss is absolutely noticeable,
and there isn't a person I've seen losing it that
hasn't noticed and commented. I will point out that my
brother-in-law has always been pretty cocky And this visit was
no different. Oh, just catching strays, the brother-in-law. We had

(37:21):
dinner and visited with them for a few hours. And
not once did anyone mention my weight loss. I'm honestly
over spending time with his family. But it really got
to me that they couldn't even muster up one compliment.
Couldn't muster up one single compliment and even acknowledge my
weight loss once. Am I wrong here? Because me and

(37:43):
my husband are about to get into it because I'm
over his side of the family. Okay, now this is
a very interesting case. Candace Lopez, she's lost a ton
of weight. She's like, hey, I want people to comment.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
Yeah, it's been six months.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
That side of the family is like, nothing to see here.

Speaker 7 (38:01):
Ouch.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
What do you think about this?

Speaker 2 (38:03):
Yeah. I mean, it sounds like y'all have some issues
in the first place. If you're calling him cocky and
you're really upset by this. It makes me wonder, though,
do we typically compliment someone when we know the journey
and the process or do we not? You know what
I mean? Because sometimes I know I have a friend
who was on a GLP one. And she didn't want

(38:24):
anyone mentioning it because she knew she didn't really work
for it. She was kind of like, you know, I
don't work out. I just took this thing and lost
a bunch of weight. Well, I guess it depends on
your situation.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Well, I mean, does it matter how they lost the weight? Yeah.
Whether you should compliment or not?

Speaker 2 (38:39):
It depends on who the person is. I typically tell someone,
you're looking good.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Yeah, that's what I was going to say. You need
to compliment.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
You look fit.

Speaker 7 (38:46):
Why?

Speaker 2 (38:47):
I tell people they look fit.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
Not me. And this is exactly why. Your friend is
mad because she was on a GLP-1?

Speaker 7 (38:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Yeah. And lost weight, but wants people to notice that
she lost weight, but doesn't want to know how she
lost weight, whatever. This is exactly why I don't say
anything about anybody's body ever. Never going to happen again.
Don't care.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
Yeah. I mean, you would think that's the safer bet
in life.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
No, because you can't win. You're running. In 2026, when
you make a comment about anybody's physical appearance, you're making...
You're it's a, it's a risk. It really is because
you might offend somebody. Yeah. I don't care what you
got going on. You might be my family member. You
come to the house that I haven't seen in six
months and you don't have a limb for whatever reason
you're missing an arm. Right. I'm like, can you pass

(39:28):
the mashed potatoes? Oh, you know, to be like, oh, man,
what happened? No, I'm going to be like, there's no comment. No,
I don't see bodies.

Speaker 8 (39:36):
No, not in my family. They're going to let you know. Hey,
what happened to your leg? Or what happened to your arm?
They'll do it real quick. Okay, I'm being extreme.

Speaker 7 (39:43):
Right.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
Obviously, but if it's weight loss.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
What happened to your 30 pounds?

Speaker 7 (39:45):
Nope.

Speaker 10 (39:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Nope. Yeah. Unless I truly know the person and I
know them and I've known them for years and I
consider them a close, close friend.

Speaker 6 (39:53):
Right.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
Yeah. Then I'm not mentioning weight. your image, your body.
I don't mention it.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
But I feel like that's why she's upset. She's like,
this is family. It's your family and we haven't seen
them in six months.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
We're talking about the in-laws. Yeah. I mean, it's not like,
you know, it's her family. Right. It's his family and
they obviously already have a, you know... And that's probably
why they're not saying anything. I'm actually on their side.

Speaker 7 (40:14):
Are you?

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Yeah. I'm on their side because they're probably like, hey,
she hates us. If we say anything about our weight,
we're damned if we do, damned if we don't. Because
now if I say, wow, you've lost a bunch of weight. Oh,
so I was fat?

Speaker 6 (40:25):
Right.

Speaker 3 (40:26):
Yeah, but they could just say, oh, girl, what did
you do?

Speaker 1 (40:28):
You look good.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
No what did you do didn't i look good before
you know what i'm saying.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
No you're right you're convincing me how tricky that is
i mean sometimes i'm afraid to talk to people too
because i don't know if someone's been sick or like something's.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
Happened exactly see so that's why they've been.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
Under stress i think people have fallen into this uh
trap before because i know someone who was going through
a hard time personally and lost a bunch of weight
because they just mentally.

Speaker 1 (40:54):
Weren't well right then you're like you look great well
i've been depressed and sick and i.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
Have a Yes. That's exactly what happened.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
And a disorder. Well, then I'll see myself out. Yeah.
You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I've stopped doing it
because one time, even this was years ago, remember I
was like, oh, you look cute today to some girl.

Speaker 6 (41:12):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
And I go, you look cute today. You're cute. She's like, cute?

Speaker 7 (41:16):
Right.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
I'm not cute. Puppies are cute.

Speaker 3 (41:18):
Yeah, I remember that.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
I'm hot. I made a whole ordeal about it. I'm like, well,
I thought hot was inappropriate.

Speaker 6 (41:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
After that day, I said, you know what? I don't
care what people look like. I'm never mentioning anything again.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Yeah, because, like, I come in like this, you know,
three days a week.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
Like what? I don't even see you.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
Like, no makeup, a hat, you know, just like getting by.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Oh, you're wearing a hat? I don't even see.

Speaker 7 (41:36):
I don't even know this.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
Yeah, I don't have no makeup on.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
Oh, wow.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
Oh, my gosh, guys. But then tomorrow, say, I come
in with hair and makeup and, like, heels and whatever. Like,
where are you going? And then it's like, oh, the
same place I always go. I just had time and
energy today.

Speaker 7 (41:49):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Put makeup on and be like, oh, wow, you all
done up.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
You got a job interview?

Speaker 3 (41:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
Yeah. Pooh is just walking a risky line, just what
he just said just now.

Speaker 7 (41:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
He's like, oh, you don't have makeup on? See, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
I know what he meant, though.

Speaker 6 (42:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
He was saying it looks like you do. You look fine.
That's just.

Speaker 7 (42:06):
Yeah. Yeah. You don't need makeup.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
Like, I don't know if that's what he was saying.
Let him dig his own hole.

Speaker 7 (42:11):
Oh, no.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
He had my back.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
Come on.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
Candace, we have a verdict.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
Yeah, we do. I think you've convinced me. Look, you're
guilty of being a body image. Becky.

Speaker 7 (42:20):
Yes. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (42:21):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Think about Lizzo. Like, she took so much heat for
being body positive, and then she lost the weight. Meghan Trainor,
same thing. She was all about that base. Now the
base is gone.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
Now she can't win. She can't win. And now people
are like, oh, now you want to lose weight? Right.
Now you're going to lose weight? I thought you were
all about being plus size. Now you want to be skinny?
You can't win in today's society. So I just shut up.
It's all about personality. That's what I start telling people.
You have a great personality. That hits hard right there.

Speaker 10 (42:51):
Kid in the Morning.

Speaker 7 (42:54):
Only on the new Mix 102.9.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
Look at these glorious clouds.

Speaker 6 (42:58):
Right?

Speaker 1 (42:59):
Why am I so excited that it's cloudy outside?

Speaker 2 (43:01):
It's a nice break.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
It might even rain a little bit. I mean, if
we're lucky, the temp is only going to get up
to like 87, they're saying.

Speaker 7 (43:08):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
Which I still don't believe. I still think it's going
to be 90.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
Yeah, it probably will be.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
Candace, what is going on?

Speaker 2 (43:13):
Well, investigators are now saying a blown tire caused the
Ross fire in Palo Pinto County. Forest Service teams say
they haven't been able to confirm the source of the ignition,
but they're saying the location made this worse because of
where the tire blew out. So I guess where it was,
there's no shoulder. It's just grass right there. But that
fire has now burned more than 90,000 acres since last Monday.

(43:36):
It's only 38% contained at this point. But glad they
have a source for the most part. But, yeah, I mean,
these things just happen sometimes. What an awful situation out there.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
Did you see I was leaving the Rangers game yesterday?
It was a big brush fire in Grand Prairie.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
I did see that. I didn't know where it was
coming from or what it was.

Speaker 7 (43:54):
I know.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
Isn't it annoying when you see a big plume of
smoke and you wonder what's happening? Yeah. Then I start
to Google it.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
Yeah, then I go down the Facebook post and it's
just everyone commenting same pictures from different angles.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
And no answers. I guess they got under control, but
it's scary. So the rain today, maybe.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
I hope so. We're almost going on 50 days without
rain if we don't get it today.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
It would help if we got it just for the
safety risk, too.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
Yeah, absolutely. Well, guys, Gas Buddy says this Labor Day
weekend could be the most expensive ever at the gas pump.
The national average is projected to hit $ 4. 03 a gallon.
That's 87 cents higher than last year. I guess the
previous Labor Day record was back in 2012. Gas then
was $ 3. 83 a gallon. Uh, they are saying we should

(44:39):
get some relief later this month as demand drops and
then cheaper winter gas that comes back. Um, but yeah,
and you were telling us about your story at the
gas station yesterday. I can't believe someone tried to just
take your gas.

Speaker 1 (44:51):
Well, I learned my lesson. I was trying to pump
and I left the pump cause I always do that.
And I know it's, I guess it's not the right
thing to do.

Speaker 7 (44:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
The pump in pump the gas. I go to the restroom, whatever.
And somebody had backed their car up. This guy backed
his car up and was About to put my hose,
my gas pump in his gas.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
So brave.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
And I stopped and he said, oh, no, I was
just going to put it up for you. I thought
you were done. I'm obviously not done. It's still filling up.
And I just walked off. Yep. So but that's a
scam you got to watch out for.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
Yeah, absolutely. Guys, rumors are stirring back up about Miley
possibly being the Super Bowl halftime performer. Of course, these
talks coming after her rebrand and album announcement this week.
But the NFL is set to make the announcement of
the Super Bowl this month. She reportedly also turned down
an invitation to headline Coachella next year. So lots going

(45:44):
on with Miley. By the way, Billy Ray Cyrus did
address her dropping her last name online. He did a
whole post. It was like a throwback picture of him
and Miley. He says, I've always called my little girl Miley,
just Miley. He says, I told her I felt good
about her going with her first name. He mentions Dolly, Cher, Elvis, Prince.
saying this is a natural progression for an iconic superstar legend.

(46:08):
But then there are sources saying, you know, he does
secretly feel hurt by this. Oh, yeah, I'm sure. That
you can tell yourself it's branding, but, you know, it
still stings.

Speaker 1 (46:16):
But isn't her real name Destiny?

Speaker 2 (46:18):
Actually, I think it might be.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
Is Miley her middle name?

Speaker 2 (46:22):
You might be right. That sounds familiar. I hadn't thought
about that in a long time. But, yeah, I think
it actually is.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
Yeah, she does not look like a Destiny.

Speaker 4 (46:29):
No.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
Is it Destiny Miley Cyrus? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
It might be. But yeah. And maybe since Dolly's passing,
maybe that kind of even, you know, had her say, look,
I just want to go by Miley.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
That was her godmother, right?

Speaker 7 (46:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (46:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
And what other Miley's are out there? Are there other
big famous Miley's? I mean, she wouldn't get confused. Like
there's one share.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
True. Yeah. But Miley's also a name that people have. Yeah.
Very popular name now. I've never heard of a Dolly.
I've never like met a Dolly.

Speaker 7 (46:56):
No.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
I've never met any Dolly.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
No, actually.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
No, I haven't either. Yeah, interesting.

Speaker 7 (47:01):
Yeah, right?

Speaker 2 (47:03):
I'll keep you posted, though. Hopefully that announcement comes in
a few weeks. I'm Candace Lopez. Those are your Texas
Top Stories.

Speaker 1 (47:10):
Mix 102.9. Oh, that's a hot take.

Speaker 7 (47:14):
Let us know what you think.

Speaker 11 (47:15):
Here's today's hot take.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
It's Bill of the Kid, Candace Lopez, producer Pooh. Hot
take of the day is on. Now, this is something
we've talked about before. Who pays on a first date
or any date? Do you split it? I'm old school,
pretty well known that I'll usually go, I pick up
the tab. It is what it is. If she eventually
wants to, then fine. Okay. But typically, no, especially first dates.

(47:37):
And then there's a rule that some people say, hey,
you know what? Whoever asked that person out, they pay.
And because I think as the years go on and
we're in 2026, a lot of people's stance is, hey,
equal rights. We're equal. Everybody's equal. Then we pay equal.
At least I think that's kind of how Pooh feels.

Speaker 4 (47:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
About it um now this girl and we've talked about
it back and forth we've had people call in we've
had people argue well why do you pay why did
this person pay but this woman goes on tiktok and
she starts talking about it why women should never pay
why women should never split the bill 50 50 and
it's interesting what she says and it's went viral listen.

Speaker 6 (48:14):
You think equality means splitting the bill. Women live in
a society where equality has never existed in the first place.
Women still only make 80% of what a man makes
for the same full-time job. So when you ask for
a 50-50 date, know that her 50% costs more of
her income than it does yours. Second of all, women
pay more just to exist in the dating world.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
Okay, hold on.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
She's not wrong.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
That was interesting. What she just said to me, what
she just said was.

Speaker 2 (48:38):
It's a generic statement, but she's not wrong.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
I don't think so either. She said basically, so we
don't get paid the same. We never have, even if
we're doing the same job.

Speaker 7 (48:46):
Right.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
So your money goes... A lot further. Further than my money.

Speaker 4 (48:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
So your 50% is... Our 50% aren't even 50%. Right.
Right out of the gate. Then she's getting into right now,
and it costs us more to even exist... On this planet.

Speaker 6 (49:03):
$ 400 a month just on grooming and beauty. And that's
not because they want to spend more. It's because they're
held to the beauty standards that men built and judged
them by.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
Okay, hold on. She's not wrong either.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
You don't think she's wrong on that?

Speaker 7 (49:15):
No.

Speaker 2 (49:16):
She's right. Absolutely. What is the beauty standard in America?

Speaker 6 (49:19):
Right.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
No, it's high.

Speaker 2 (49:20):
Yeah, very high.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
It's very high. And what she's saying is we spend
$ 400 a month just to take care of ourselves to
basically live up to the standards that you as a
man have created.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Yeah, it's up to women. Do you want to live
up to that standard or not? But we all know
a woman who lives up to the standard and one
who doesn't get judged completely differently.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
I agree. I can't say you're wrong. I'm not saying
it's right.

Speaker 8 (49:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
But I'm saying I agree.

Speaker 7 (49:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
But who sets that standard? Like you're spending.

Speaker 8 (49:51):
I'm getting taxed or whatever on this date because you
spend 400 a month. You don't have to spend. You
spend 400 a month because you want to see it.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
You want to go on a date with a woman
who doesn't live up to the standard.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (50:04):
It's all it's all in what I like. You know
what I mean?

Speaker 8 (50:07):
You spending four to five hundred dollars a month on
your own beauty regimen.

Speaker 3 (50:12):
That's all on you.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
I mean, guys, we spend money. I'm asking you, is
it really on them? Yes, it's on them. And I
don't want to get too deep here, but if society
sets a standard that you are supposed to look a
certain way, it's easy to say, well, then don't do it.

Speaker 7 (50:26):
Right.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
But it's harder to go, well, then don't, then I won't.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
Yeah, let me show you two pictures of the same woman.
One's doing the beauty standard and one's not. And which
one are you going to pick? You're absolutely picking the
one with the lashes, the one with the hair, the
one with the nails, the one with the Botox.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Candace has a point. I'm not going to lie.

Speaker 8 (50:42):
Okay, the one with the eyelashes and all that other stuff,
what about they're already cheating using filters?

Speaker 3 (50:49):
I'm going on a date with.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
Somebody who's... I mean, the filter's free. That's on you.

Speaker 8 (50:53):
I know, but you're already faking the funk anyway, because
when I see you on a.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
I'm not on any.

Speaker 8 (50:58):
Date apps, but if I see you on Tinder, on Hinge,
or whatever, it's obviously a filter.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
I mean, think about how much money you make. You
don't have to tell us what that is, obviously, but
what if the men's beauty standard was you have to
have lashes, you have to get your high hair done,
you have to wear extensions, you have to get.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
Okay, but I do.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
All these fillers and 10 different types of underwear.

Speaker 1 (51:21):
Yeah, but I do. Wait, you have to have different underwear?

Speaker 7 (51:23):
Well, yeah.

Speaker 8 (51:24):
The average guy's haircut now is like $ 50 or $ 60.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
Okay, what's the average woman's haircut?

Speaker 1 (51:30):
$ 100. Again, but women, you choose to do that. Another
one on the board for Candace.

Speaker 8 (51:34):
You can't sit up here and get upset because your
beauty regimen costs you money. You're going to pay whatever
you think. To make you look good and feel a
certain way. I got to say, I kind of like
you two fighting instead of me.

Speaker 3 (51:47):
But I didn't set that standard.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
I mean, how much do you spend on personal care
products per month?

Speaker 1 (51:52):
That's a good point. If you had to spend, because
I know poo.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
I don't have a choice on some of these. I mean,
let's just be honest. Right. You know, I don't have
a choice whether I want to spend this or not.
It's happening.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
On feminine products and whatnot.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
Correct, yeah.

Speaker 11 (52:05):
Right.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
So you spend more. I mean, I agree with that.

Speaker 3 (52:08):
I get that, but I mean, not to be funny,
but you're married. You shouldn't have to worry about anything.

Speaker 7 (52:13):
What? I mean, she.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
So if you're married, you don't care what you look like?

Speaker 8 (52:17):
I'm just saying she's not out here trying to catch anybody. Yeah,
she has to spend a certain amount.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
So you're saying once you get married, that woman can
just let herself go?

Speaker 8 (52:26):
I'm not saying let herself all the way go. You know,
keep the beauty going for your husband.

Speaker 10 (52:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (52:33):
You're not spending if you're spending four to five hundred
a month and you're married.

Speaker 3 (52:37):
Something's wrong because your husband already got you.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
It costs two hundred dollars just to get a haircut
if you're a woman.

Speaker 5 (52:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:42):
And then the color and then honestly your makeup.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
I mean, I'm doing my own gel nails at home
with a gel kit because it's just too expensive to
keep doing it a couple times a month.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
Getting your nails done is two hundred bucks.

Speaker 3 (52:54):
Right.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
I mean, it's a poo. I don't think you realize
it's a lot.

Speaker 8 (52:57):
No, I understand that, but when they say the society standard,
it costs a lot for us.

Speaker 3 (53:02):
We've got to have a good car. That's not true, though.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
You don't have to have a good car. A running
car works.

Speaker 8 (53:09):
It depends on who you're dating. Maybe for you, Candace,
but the average woman out there nowadays— I love cars.
Don't get me wrong. A lot of girls want a
guy who makes more than the amount— Of money to
take care of them and everything else.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
I don't think that's the case.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
I mean, that's your choice. I dated someone, and on
the first date, we split it.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
You know why?

Speaker 2 (53:28):
Because I knew I made more money than him. But
you know why I made more money? Because I worked harder,
and I'm a better person than he was.

Speaker 1 (53:33):
That was true.

Speaker 2 (53:33):
So it is what it is in that case.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
Yeah, and I think that, honestly, I don't know if
that's the case. Not every woman. That's a broad statement.
Every woman cares about what you drive. I genuinely don't
think that's true.

Speaker 7 (53:43):
No.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
I don't think it's true. I do think there's some
standards set on men that are different from women.

Speaker 2 (53:47):
It depends on what pond you want to fish in.
Do you want to fish in the pond for women
who care about that stuff? Or do you not want
to find someone who doesn't care?

Speaker 3 (53:54):
I can say the same about a guy. The pond statement,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (53:59):
No, for sure.

Speaker 8 (53:59):
Because I don't care if you spend $ 400 to $ 500
at Ulta. Like you don't have to have fake eyelashes.
And honestly, I don't even like eyelashes and all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
It's cool.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
I just think women just don't get enough credit in
the world in general, the things that we have to
go through beyond our choice. You don't know what battles
we're fighting every day quietly. And men are fighting their own,
but some of them are just because we were born
a woman.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
I'm not saying it's not easy. It's not easy to
be a man. I get it. But I absolutely agree
with you that I say it's definitely hard to be
a woman.

Speaker 3 (54:28):
Yeah, I wouldn't say it's easy to be a woman.
I'm not going to— I opened my mouth before.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
I think that's what you said.

Speaker 3 (54:33):
But I'm just saying, they got to realize guys go.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
Through struggles, too. Okay, so back to the bill. So
you're saying this is the whole point. So you're saying, Poo,
it should be 50-50.

Speaker 4 (54:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
I mean, you should.

Speaker 3 (54:46):
You should be able to.

Speaker 1 (54:47):
You don't think that woman has a point that went viral?
You don't think she has a point?

Speaker 3 (54:51):
Not with all this.

Speaker 1 (54:52):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (54:53):
No, I don't.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
I mean, think about how long it took us to
be able to vote, to open a bank account, to
get a credit card, to own property. Like, it's a
systemic constraint that's just been on top of us, you know,
for years. And we're just now coming out of it.

Speaker 1 (55:07):
I want to know what you think. 833-787-1029. Because I
think that when it went viral does have a point.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
She does have a point. Do I think all men
have to pay for all dates all the time? Absolutely not.
That's unrealistic. But she's not wrong.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
She's saying there's a reason why it shouldn't be 50-50.
And I'm wondering what you think. Hot take of the day.
take of the day oh that's a hot.

Speaker 11 (55:27):
Take let us know what you think here's today's hot
take it's getting a little heated on mix 102.9 over
here it's billy the kid candace lopez producer poo i'm
also an instigator professionally i like.

Speaker 1 (55:39):
To yeah i like to stir the pot a little
bit you know yeah and i'm on candace's side whatever
she says i'm on her side This woman went viral
for basically saying that it should never, on a date,
it should never be split 50-50 with men and women.
And she said it's because it's not equal in the
first place, meaning that women spend more on looks. They
get paid less. So it's never going to be 50-50,

(56:03):
even if they were to spend the same amount of
money because they don't make as much. So you're saying
a man's 50% goes further than a woman's 50%.

Speaker 2 (56:11):
She's not wrong. And there is a connection between appearance, grooming,
and earnings for women. Like they've done studies. If you
wear makeup and groom yourself better, you can earn a
lot more money.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
I would probably.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
For the same reason of what the beauty standard is.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
That's what the studies show, research shows. Poo's on the
other end defending, I don't know, certain men, not me.
He's basically saying, well, then don't do it if you
don't want to. Either way, Nicole, I think you agree
with Candace, right?

Speaker 9 (56:37):
No, I completely agree with her. It is just harder
keeping up with being a woman in general because there
is a standard on like how we're meant to like
just kind of carry ourselves, especially like if you're a working,
you know, you can't just. be out looking all kinds
of crazy.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
Right um right you guys can shave your face whatever
you want yeah we have to shave our legs everything every.

Speaker 9 (57:03):
Day oh my god don't even don't even get me
started on that amen but like and then everything's so
expensive too right there's no like there's no account for
how much money like we have to spend on ourselves
just to keep ourselves up And, you know, feeling good.

Speaker 1 (57:21):
Now, what Pooh is saying is if you don't want
to shave your legs and you don't want to spend
the money on your nails and legs, then don't.

Speaker 8 (57:26):
Yeah, I mean, nobody told you go spend $ 200 or
$ 300 on getting your nails done.

Speaker 3 (57:30):
You ain't got to do that.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
But that's unreal.

Speaker 9 (57:32):
You know, like, listening to you talk about, like, what
women can and can't do, and then, like, what they,
you know, like, oh, it's on them if they want
to do that. But then you also talk like you have, like,
this expectation of what you want your woman to be like.
You know, and then you want to split 50-50s. You know,
I know why you're single now.

Speaker 10 (57:52):
Oh!

Speaker 1 (57:55):
Yes, Nicole, thank you. I appreciate it, Nicole. I'm going
to leave.

Speaker 9 (58:01):
It at that right there, girl. You're fishing in a
bougie pond, but you want them to split 50-50?

Speaker 4 (58:08):
Right, right.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
You want to talk about fishing in the wrong pond.
He's expecting some, like, I don't know, exotic Pacific ocean fish.

Speaker 7 (58:18):
Mermaid.

Speaker 1 (58:18):
But he's in the Trinity River.

Speaker 9 (58:19):
When he's over here using hot dogs to fish.

Speaker 3 (58:25):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 10 (58:28):
I can't.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
Thank you, Nicole. You just made my morning, girl.

Speaker 9 (58:33):
All right, y'all have a good day.

Speaker 7 (58:36):
You too.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
Game on. Kevin, good morning, Kevin. What's up? How are you?
I'm doing well.

Speaker 4 (58:43):
I think I'm about to dig myself a hole, though.

Speaker 1 (58:45):
That's okay. I want to hear what you have to think.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
Who will pass you the shovel?

Speaker 1 (58:48):
What do you have to think? Yeah, he'll pass him
the shovel, boo. Go ahead.

Speaker 4 (58:52):
All right. Number one, this is kind of my theory
on it. From a business point of view, the whole
women make less than men. If that's the case, I'd
have a whole female workforce. Why am I going to
pay a guy 100 grand when I can pay you
80 and start pocketing the rest?

Speaker 9 (59:05):
Perfect.

Speaker 4 (59:06):
I mean, you're gonna get paid i hate to say
it what you're worth i'm not saying women aren't worth
anything but look at the wmba for example why don't
they make the same as regular nba okay second part
the whole haircut thing right guys get the haircut about
what maybe once a month yep when women get their
haircuts once every four months Okay.

Speaker 1 (59:24):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (59:25):
It's not supposed to, you're not supposed to go that long.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
So let me ask you this, Kevin, you're saying, so
if you, let me ask you this, cause you say,
you know, obviously you get paid, women get paid less.
If that was the case, then why wouldn't you just
have an entire, you're saying that. Women don't want to
do the jobs that you you have available at that
high pay or higher pay. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (59:45):
I'm in the construction field. So, yeah, we don't have
a whole lot of females doing this. OK, I mean,
that's just kind of the way that the ball bounces
on that. But I mean, we have admin, you have
other things.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
But if you did have a woman, would you pay
her the same? You pay a man for the same job?

Speaker 4 (59:59):
If she did the same thing, yes, ma'am.

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
Okay, well, that's props to you because not everyone would.

Speaker 4 (01:00:04):
I mean, you do the job, you do the job.
I mean, I was in the military. We had the
same thing. Women could do certain things. I mean, women
could do certain things and men couldn't. Men could do
certain things, women couldn't. I mean, it's just that's the
way the ball bounced.

Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
Yeah, well, I respect you for that.

Speaker 4 (01:00:16):
But I've seen so many women, though, just make it
through life with their looks. Girls ain't looking at the
fat guy working at McDonald's.

Speaker 7 (01:00:22):
No.

Speaker 4 (01:00:22):
You look at the guy with the 24-pack abs and
driving a nice car and got the house and everything.
I've seen plenty of rich men make poor women rich.
Don't see a whole lot of rich women make poor
men rich.

Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
Okay, Kevin, stay right there.

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
Interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
Now, he does have a point there.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
But why is that?

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
I know, but.

Speaker 8 (01:00:41):
That's how society is. You see the old, ugly guy
with his hot, young thing.

Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
But my point is, that's also not real.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
That's his issue.

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
That's his issue, and usually that doesn't last.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
Because he thrives off of having a hot, young woman.
We don't need to thrive off of that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:57):
Okay, that's a good point, too. Whatever. And I know women.
I know plenty of women who date men who make
way less money and don't have six packs.

Speaker 3 (01:01:11):
That's few and far between.

Speaker 8 (01:01:13):
I know if you go through a drive-thru and a
brother's working hard and he says, hey, can I get
your number?

Speaker 3 (01:01:17):
You're going to be like, no, you're working at Popeye's.

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
Well, go holler at the girl working at Popeye's then.

Speaker 3 (01:01:22):
That's what I'm saying. It's easier for y'all. Y'all talking
about society standard.

Speaker 1 (01:01:26):
But are you going to go ask the girl at
the Popeye's drive-thru.

Speaker 6 (01:01:29):
For a number?

Speaker 1 (01:01:29):
I've done that before. That's because you love chicken. We
can all agree on that.
