So the Raven season went from bad to worse. Yesterday
it went from bad to horrible. This is a freak show.

Speaker 4 (00:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Lamar Jackson and three defensive starters were lost to injuries
in a thirty seven to twenty loss to Kansas City,
threatening to further derail a season that started with Super
Bowl astorations.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Well, we have a defensive line that is all sitting
out right now.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
Yeah. Do we have a defense in anymore? No, we
have second string.

Speaker 5 (00:41):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
At least four people were killed and eight injured after
a gunman attacked the Church of Jesus Christ the Latter
Day Saints in Michigan on Sunday morning.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
The shooter was taken out by police.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Nigel Edge was arrested in a shooting that left three
people dead and eight others injured at a water front
bar in North Carolina.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
This is a crazy story. Did you hear about this guy? Nigel?
I don't know much about him.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
So what I do know is somehow he went on
a date with country singer Kelly Pickler to an award
show and escorted her and I mean, there's obviously no
connection between thats ago. Yeah, but it's just so sad.
And both of these guys that decided to start shooting

(01:24):
over the weekend, both military ex military.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
It's very sad.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Well, Bad Bunny, the singer announced at the Super Bowl
sixty halftime performer all Right you Dan from Dan from
the text said I had to google what is a
bad Bunny?

Speaker 6 (01:44):

Speaker 7 (01:44):
What is here?

Speaker 1 (01:45):
He is little bad Bunny? So are we are we
gonna have to have like subtitles on the Super Bowl?
I mean, like they can do something offensive then we
won't even know it.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Maybe that's what they're going for. We should brush up
on your Spanish. Well maybe that's why it's called bad Bunny.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Bad Bunny appeared in Happy Gilmore Too as the waiter
turned caddie. He's also going to host this weekend's season
premiere Saturday Night Live. He did a residency in Puerto
Rico recently, where he brought more than two hundred million
dollars to the economy.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
Very popular, so he's obviously a big star, just not
in the Country World. But when he.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Does the Super Bowl, he won't get paid at all. Right,
he's working that for free. That's what they have to do.
That's the that's the deal.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Selena Gomez and Benny Bianco Benny Blanco Benny Blanco our
officially husband and wife after exchanging vows at a lavish
ceremony in California.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Selena, Oh, she looks so pretty. Oh my god.

Guests included Taylor Swift, her bff, Martin Short and Steve Martin,
her only Murderer's co star.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Paul Rudd was there, Paris Hilton, ed Sheeran. Lots of people.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Six Baltimore Starbucks locations have closed as part of the
coffee giant's massive restructuring.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
Like no warning too.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
I guess people are going looking for a cup of
coffee and there was like, you know, moving boxing.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
It's over. Yeah, it's over.

Speaker 6 (03:13):
Sorry.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
I'm interested to see what they do as far as
restructuring goes. Dolly Parton postponed her six night Dolly in
Las Vegas residency because she's not doing well health wise.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
What so we're thinking about her? Oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
And lastly, Tillie Norwood is an AI generated actress Okay,
who just received several talent agent inquiries in Zurich and
studios say that they're quietly advancing some AI projects starring
AI actors.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
So hold on, yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
These AI actors are not They're not real people, correct,
They're just figments of a computer's imagination.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
And they're gonna start acting in different projects. Oh my gosh,
what are we gonna do? Ninety three point one wpoc
T traffic vehicle.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Fire on ninety seven southbound after General's Highway pickup truck
looks like it's fully engulfed some lane closures existing around
their B tow.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
B Parkway southbound between a run of Mill's Boulevard and one.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Seventy five is slow right now ninety five northbound between
seventy seven and eighty. That that construction there, the crews
are setting it up, and then earlier there was a
disabled vehicle there. It looks like it's flowing freely now.
And then of course we've got road construction on eight
ninety five southbound between Washington Boulevard and ninety five.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
No wait a minute, I want to understand this.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
So AI actors and actresses have agents.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
Just just over the weekend, that happened for the first time.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Tillie Norwood is maybe the most famous AI actress, and
she has an agent.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Now, how do you represent an AI act I mean.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
I would argue that she will not do that. She
needs more representation because she's not real.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
So so and are they going to disclose to us?
Are we gonna know when we're watching a movie whether
it's a real person or if it's an AI actor.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
I don't know how it's gonna work, because how do
you even know? This report is sponsored by the Harlem Globetrotters.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
I think, do you think it's a Ravens thing? It's
a purple haze it is.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
I mean a lot of Ravens fans are just I
think they're distraught, and uh, that's what I've got, just
getting a vibe. Am I on track with that?

Speaker 4 (12:36):
You think?

Speaker 5 (12:36):
I think, Yeah, it feels Mondays are tough anyway, right,
and then the Ravens lost.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
I don't know, I don't feel a spark in my
soul today. I do.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
I always feel a spark. I always try to find
the glass half full.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
You know. Here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
The Ravens season is a technically over yet, you know,
I mean when you look at what else is going
on in our segment of the NFL. There's you know
what I mean, we can still turn things around. You
gotta look at like, if Lamar's not hurt that badly,
can we turn Yes, I can't. You're real like, statistically,

(13:19):
I don't know if we're gonna go deep now like
we were hoping. But huh, hey, you can't give up
in week five coming up?

Speaker 4 (13:26):
You know what I mean, We're one and three. It's
not the end of the world.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
We still have, you know, talented guys that need to
get back on the field. Ronnie Stanley really wasn't a
factor yesterday. Derrick Henry was not a factor yesterday.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Talking with his wife Nicole about more film production in Nashville.
Nicole Kidman has big plans for Nashville. She's teaming up
with another Hollywood star to make them happen, and she
wants to make Nashville not only a mecca for country artists,
but also for maybe only Hollywood East.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Oh, that's a good idea. You know, there's already quite
a few celebrities there. It's a great you know, it's
a great city. Right, So why not kell who's she
teaming up with? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
Let me see.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
I'm just getting a story a second ago, and that
was the headline the story.

Speaker 4 (20:58):
I don't know. I guess we're gonna find out.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Okay, she's not saying at this point, but she's got
some Hollywood friends.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
I guess. Yeah. So I'm sure that it.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Probably takes a lot of money to kind of, you know,
set up the infrastructure for it. There may be I
don't know. It seems like they can shoot movies anywhere, though,
right you think.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
The other big news that they seem to be wanting
to talk about this morning in the Nashville Gossip, Alan
Jackson said it started forty years ago, in September. This September,
forty years ago, he says, my wife and I drove
to Nashville with an old U haul trailer chasing a dream.
And as you know, he's retired, and they say he's

(21:39):
got plenty to live on two hundred.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
Million Olivia, right. I think I did okay for themselves
with that U haul. Yeah they did.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
And the other news this morning is this story about
that shooting in North Carolina. Kelly Pickler is being linked
to this guy who went crazier berserk more. I read
about it, Bethany. He has you know, he had served
our country. He back in like two thousand and seven.

(22:07):
He was in the military, and he had some head
injuries and had some skull replaced, and apparently, I don't know,
he was dealing with some issues and started shooting up
a restaurant over the weekend and he was immediately somehow,
I don't know how. The news just went back and

(22:27):
I guess maybe AI found it. But the story came
right out that he escorted Kelly Pickler to the CMT
Awards back in the day and then he had a
lawsuit against her where he accused her of trying to
poison him.

Speaker 4 (22:42):
Wow. Yeah, so it got kind of crazy there for
a while.

Speaker 10 (22:45):
Yikes.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
Kelly is a very very sweet person, and so this
man was very troubled.

Speaker 5 (22:51):
Obviously, it's tough to have to be linked to someone
that you maybe went out with like one.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Well, she didn't date. It was a celebrity type thank you.
Basically he was military and she needed an escort and
so you know, was set up that way.

Speaker 4 (23:09):
It wasn't a date. Like I don't think there was
like a second date, you know what I mean? Yeah,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
But you know, like now her name is being like, yeah,
it's very sad brought up in this in this capacity,
I don't like, you know.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
That is your music city MENUT ninety three point one
WPOC traffic.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
All right, there's an accident that's been moved to the
shoulder seventy eastbound exit sixty two. Vehicle fire cleared up
on ninety seven southbound in General's Highway. A couple delays
still remained there German Hill Road at Dundock Avenue and
accident there and then we're slow before both tunnels.

Speaker 4 (23:44):
But it doesn't look too bad out there. Overall.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
Reese Witherspoon, that is who is going to be working
with the Coole Kidman on bringing Nashville Hollywood.

Speaker 11 (23:55):
So maybe Michael J and Bephanie going to old school
for a second with the throwback from the Great George
Straight You're on ninety three point one WPOC.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
While George was singing, Bethany was telling me about a
woman named Ellie who has come up with ten reasons
that she thinks it's a good idea not to have kids.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
She and her partner Carl are not getting married, they
don't want a wedding, and they don't want to have kids.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
They've been together eight years.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
Okay, they say that they've built a beautiful life and
they don't want to spoil it.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Well, good for them with children. That's I mean, there's
nothing wrong with that for them. That's not necessarily the
decision for everyone else.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
Right.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
I think that this is interesting because I feel like
the quote unquote like American dream of like getting married,
having children, living, you know, buying a house, blah blah blah.

Speaker 4 (24:54):
Right, Like I don't know if got to get a
dog in there somewhere too, of course, Yeah, well Ellie
has a dog. Y gotta have a lab.

Speaker 5 (25:01):
It's like that whole idea is real tricky right now.
So what are her specific reasons though that she says
she's not going to have children?

Speaker 4 (25:13):
Okay, here they are. She's got ten? Are these in
like order?

Speaker 5 (25:17):
Or they're just ten they're just there's no particular order,
not ten to number one.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
I spend my money on meat and only me and
my dogs. Obviously, I don't want to sacrifice to be
able to afford children. I don't Number two. I don't
fancy childbirth, she says. I don't want to risk my
life to bring a child into the world.

Speaker 4 (25:36):
How old is Ellie? Do we know that? I think
she's in her thirties. Okay, thirty two, so she's probably
not going to change her mind. No, it doesn't sound
like it. Okay, my dogs are enough.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
They're not children, but they're about as much time and
money as I want to dedicate to taking care of something.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Listen, dogs can be expensive. You're spending at least six
hundred bucks a year on a on a vat.

Speaker 4 (25:56):
Yeah. Food, Yeah, you know, grooming, training, It gets expensive.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
Children will make holidays better. Nah, that's not good enough,
she says. We don't care. Okay, society today is garbage.
I don't want to bring into this world more children
than have to deal with this. Okay, life is hectic.
I love being at home with candles lit, reading a

(26:23):
book in peace. I want to keep my bliss. Your
life is no longer your own. When you have kids,
it's all out. It's all about after school activities, kids parties,
making friends with other parents, et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
But you know what, for a lot of us, that
is what we want to do. I mean, some of
our dearest friends are people that we met through childcare,
you know what I mean. Like in these other couples
who also had kids in the same childcare, we've become
like lifelong friends.

Speaker 4 (26:55):
That's cool, you know what I mean. So I look
at that as a blessed I haven't had that experience.
Oh okay. So I'm like, all.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Right, Well, we have several couples that we are I'm serious, Like,
we've been friends for twenty years.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
That's cool, She says. I love my hobbies. I want
my own free time, and I don't want to have
to share it with kids. Okay.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
She says, women usually have to give up their career
or at least take a maternity leave, and that doesn't
sit right with me.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
And and then her last reason is I am a
fun aunt.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
She's fun and I don't want to be a mom. Okay.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
Well, there's nothing I mean I'm not saying anything's wrong
with that. That's her decision, and it sounds like it's
a well thought out decision for her.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
Yeah, oh for sure. Do you judge people who choose
not to have kids? No, some people do.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
I don't. Personally.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
I don't because I think that we don't need bad parents.
So why would you want to force someone into a
life that they don't want?

Speaker 4 (28:04):
Right? Do you know what I mean? Yeah, that's not fair.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Plus, who am I to judge with somebody else what's
right for them? I mean, every everyone has their own
you know, set set of fun to deal with, right,
So I do not judge that. Okay, whatsoever we.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
Want to hear from you?

Speaker 3 (28:23):
Seven seven ninety six to two, begin your message with
higher hey or call eight hundred three six ninety three.

Speaker 4 (28:28):
Do you judge that as a woman? Oh not at all? Okay, No,
I think.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
I think it's a really like brave choice to say
I don't want to do what.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
Like basically society expects us right to do. Economically, it
changes everything.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
I'll tell you that because I compare myself to friends
who don't have children, and you know, and a buddy
who just got married at like I think he was
fifty when he got into this relationship, he was already
in his fifties, so you know, I mean he's got
the life. He's got a boat, he's got motorcycles, he's
got two houses, you know, because he didn't have kids

(29:07):
the whole time.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
And then I hear the whole reason, like, well, I
want to have kids so I have something to take
care of me when I'm older. And I'm like, uh,
that that's doing a lot. Like are you should you
have kids just so they can take care I don't know.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
Eddie Montgomery always told me.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Eddie Montgomery the country star, He is like, I need
to have at least six kids because I need six
ball bearers.

Speaker 4 (29:32):
Eight one hundred and three two one thirty six ninety three.

Speaker 7 (29:35):
After all, the bottle of cols kill me?

Speaker 4 (29:40):
Where you want a cool.

Speaker 7 (29:44):
We can't find this park open the bottom and a
hush if you won't up to anything on at after
everybody things in this party's just you in.

Speaker 6 (30:02):
We don't go.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
I'm coming.

Speaker 9 (30:07):
He's not talking your.

Speaker 4 (30:10):
Black you know it's prob me when you're being m mackey,
he's crazy.

Speaker 6 (30:17):
We pray me. Are you thanking down me?

Speaker 5 (30:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (30:21):
Are you danging now?

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Yeah, we're thinking about kids are No, I'm not talking
about me and Bethany. We're not having any more kids,
no way, No, we're all we're all stocked up around here.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
Yeah. So I have four you two? Yeap.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Oh, that's it. That's almost a baseball team. We have
a lot of texts coming in eight hundred and three
two one thirty six, ninety three. Here at ninety three
point one w POC Michael J and Bethany.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
The topic came up because.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Ellie uh is a woman who says there are ten
reasons why she's not having children. Yeah, we shared those
and we just wondered what you had to say about them.

Speaker 6 (31:02):
Good morning. My name is Joan. I'm driving into work
and I just got done listening to you guys talk
about the children's situation.

Speaker 4 (31:10):
Yeah, so you wanted to add to this, go ahead.

Speaker 6 (31:13):
So I was happy to hear about this young lady
not wanting to have children. And she sounds like my daughter,
who for the longest time didn't want to have kids.
My sister couldn't have children, and she was I want
to be because she travels and she gets to do
everything fun, and she has money and we don't, right, you.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Know, when you have children, it's a financial obligation for
the rest of your life.

Speaker 3 (31:40):
Right right now, somebody on tech said she doesn't even
know what she's missing, especially when grandkids arrive. It's a
lonely life when you're older without kids. Would it be
if you had like like friends and stuff.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Though, yeah, you know they're I mean, there's just there's
no right or wrong on any of this, is there.
I mean, it's what's right for you, and it is
a major I mean, being a parent is the most difficult.
I mean, there's no I don't if there's any argument
about this. It's the most difficult job in the world
a period, you know what I mean. And I don't

(32:18):
mean that in a bad way. It's just it's a challenge.
And it all started this morning because we were talking
about how difficult it is to say no to your
kids and how I think we probably all deal with
some level of guilt.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
Oh yeah, for sure, what I mean.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Well, and that's interesting too, because I think a lot
of the guilt gets passed down generationally, and I think
that this text is interesting. Okay, my wife and I
are child free and we plan to stay that way.
Are two main reasons are finances right and upbringing. We
didn't have amazing relationships with our parents, and we don't
want to pass that down a generation.

Speaker 5 (32:51):
That's that's I think that's fascinating. Well, it's insightful and
it's smart. I mean, if you're able to the problem
I think that we have is that so many of
us have kids in our twenties when we're still kids
and we don't really know. I mean, yeah, it's it
just like you said, Bethany, it's how we are brought up,

(33:14):
and it's the American dream, and especially if you're part
of a big family, it's like it's.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
Like it seems to be like what happens next, Here's
what you do next, Right, here's what your dream should be,
because that's what society tells you.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
But I don't think in our twenties we're able to
really know who we are yet and really understand why
we're doing the things we're doing. A lot of us
don't even ask ourselves why am I doing the things
I'm doing?

Speaker 4 (33:40):
It just seems like it's what we're supposed to do. Sometimes.
I think kids is the biggest pyramid scheme.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
Sponsored by Toys r US. We love it. And you know,
Toys r Us is coming back. By the way they
went out of business. I heard their reopening, So anyway.

Speaker 4 (34:01):
Okay, great.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
There's an accident on the outer loop before lock Raven
Boulevard with two left lanes block. Things are crawling back
to bel Air Road. Looks like there's a second accident
in the same cluster. There B to B Parkway South
bund between A Round the Mills, Bulevard and one seventy
five is slow. The outer loop between seven ninety five
and Liberty Road is stop and go. Before the Harbor
Tunnel years sitting there for about ten minutes, and before

(34:27):
the former Kenny Tunnel about five minutes.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
You made a very good point when you said a
lot of people judge like people. We're getting tacks from
people who are attacking Ellie, you know, saying that she
would not make a good parent, and really we shouldn't
we just let each everybody, you know, everybody do you.

Speaker 4 (34:45):
And she doesn't sound like she'd be a good parent,
and she knows that.

Speaker 10 (34:48):
She knows.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
She's like yeah, She's like, yeah, that's why I'm not
going to be a parent. Twenty twenty five. iHeartRadio Music
