Speaker 1 (05:26):
City minute in sixty seconds. You don't know like you
own music.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Row Well, this is kind of confusing, Bethany, and I
agree with you because on one hand you have the
CMA Awards announcing their winners, but then Apple Music posted
that their album of the Year is I'm the problem,
saying that was the most listened to album of the year.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
So when Morgan Wallen got word of that, he's.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Like, hey, CMA, listen up, because he didn't win the
Entertainer of the Year, which I voted for him.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I thought he should have been.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Anyway, he wrote, I like to let my fans do
the talking and they speak loudly.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yikes.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I mean everyone is loving his album. He's like eight
hits deep into it now. He just put on If
you're a big Morgan Wallen fan or someone on your
Christmas shopping list loves Morgan Wallan, you should know he's
got a really hot item that he's selling on his
March page on his website. You go to Morganwalland dot com.
He's calling it the fanzine, and for forty nine to
(06:28):
ninety nine he's put together a Morgan Walland booklet with
all sorts of personal notes, pictures, a letter from his father,
I don't know, don't ask, all kinds of stuff. And
then he also inserts both of the disks that are
from his latest album because he's.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Got like thirty million songs on it.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So it takes two CDs and he's got both those
in there in that Morgan Wallen fanzine and apparently it's
blowing up and everybody's wanting that for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
So there you go. Morgan Wallen.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
He didn't want to see him, but he's winning at
the post at the box office.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yes, all right.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Now, Parker McCollum is talking about something really crazy. His
manager got arrested for solicitation of minors online under the
age of fourteen. Police busted a guy named Joel Shopp.
He was arrested on November thirteenth. When Parker McCollum found
out about it, he immediately fired Joel and no further
(07:26):
details have been released, but that story.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Is rolling out. So that is your country music names.
This tidel.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
We are getting you ready for tonight. Doors open at
seven at the Record Theater. Low Cash. You just heard
him singing. They're going to be one of the artists
on stage. It's gonna be so much fun. Are sold
out WPOC Saint Jude Jingle, y'all. You gotta get your
reindeer antlers tonight. They light up their ten bucks Spring
Cash because you're gonna want to buy as many of
(08:02):
these as you can, because your kids are gonna want them,
everybody's gonna want them, and we're all gonna be wearing
them tonight. And all the proceeds go to benefit Saint
Jude Children's Research Hospital, which we we can't say enough about.
Every December, we always do a big radiothon that's coming
up in the next couple of weeks, so we're looking
forward to it. We're also talking this morning about all
(08:26):
these dinners that everybody throws over the holidays.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Yeah, we all know that the holidays can be super expensive, right.
I saw yesterday on the reels that this guy got
invited to a Thanksgiving dinner and it was a ten.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Dollars cover charge. Do you think that's tacky or do
you feel okay about it? Huh. At first, I had
like a negative visceral reaction. I'm ten bucks, though, that's
what's you know.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I was like, oh uh uh in order man charging
me for Thanksgiving? And then I thought about it the
more I was like why though.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yeah, well, if you're gonna invite somebody over and you're
gonna ask them for ten bucks, that feels kind of
cheesy to me, just because it's only ten bucks in
other words at all. Like if it's fifty bucks a
person or some bigger amount of money that I'm laying
out because I'm inviting people close to me, that almost
doesn't hit me as bad as ten something about just
(09:23):
you know what I mean, I.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Think fifty and nobody's coming. Maybe that's the point. Yeah,
I don't know, I just know.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I just think it's like a would you charge your
friend's ten bucks to come over to your house?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I don't think I would.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Yeah, but it makes sense, especially because how many times
does this happen?
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Like, well, what can I bring?
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Nothing, don't worry about it, just bring yourself or whatever.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
And then you're like, oh, I got a got a
bottle of wine or whatever?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Do they even like wine? What kind do they want?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Blah blah blah. Right, like that eliminates that do you
don't have to bring anything, just spend only ten bucks?
Oh all right? Right, So at first I had like
a super negative reaction to the The more I thought
about it, the more I was like, if somebody did
that to me, I don't think I would be that offensive.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Somebody just venoe me ten bucks. Oh, have a look
at that. Look at that seven seven ninety six two.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Begin your message with higher hay or call eight hundred
three two one thirty six ninety three.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Do you think what I SERI? This is missus Michael?
J oh, what is miss Michael?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Cheryl says, great, idea should be twenty five dollars. Okay, Well,
because we just went through.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
This, you guys spent an awful lot of money.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I don't know, Cheryl, tell me if I'm wrong. I
thought was like a thousand bucks that we want to
drop between the two of us, Between all the food
and you know, the wine we had. We ended up
having what equated to sixteen people. Fourteen people came for dinner.
My sister had to take plates for two people at
the end of the night.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
And then I think about, like, we're going to Florida
for Christmas, right, so my mom usually does a giant
grocery hall, right, and it costs hundreds of dollars absolutely,
And I'm always like, let me give you some money,
and she's always like no, But I have a whole
family that I bring, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Like I saw it, I'm like, I don't know, I'm
not hating this.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
The more I think about it, right, I mean, it's
it's a lot to put on one or two people,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
And it's so easy to just like zell money.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, oh no, someone on tech said, absolutely ridiculously tacky.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah, well it depends.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
And picture this when you were younger, like college age
or you know, and you have a party and you
want to you could be like, hey, look I'm putting
out all this money for liquor, and I feel like.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
I used to go to parties like that and you
pitched it like it was like a five buck?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Right? Can you get your cup like that?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Chuck from Pasadena says, I don't think that ten bucks
is I think that the ten bucks is kind of
a great idea.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
It keeps the cost for dinner.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Down because it's a huge expense, especially nowadays when you
have to have alcohol on top of everything.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Right, Chuck says, it's a win win for everybody. All right,
what do you think? Seven seven nine six two start
with hay or high. If you've not joined our dedicated
dozen listeners here, we want to welcome mute our little
u shindig we do every morning. Michael, Jane Bethany here
on ninety three point one WDPOC so you can text
seven seven nine six two start with hey or high.

six ninety three, and we should mention you can always

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Weigh in as well. We love to hear what's on
your mind this morning? Is it tacky or is it
acceptable to charge cover for your dinner party?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Six done by.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
All right, Michael, Jay and Bethany. We're getting slammed with
the text right now. Thank you for being one of
our dedicated dozen phone lines. Ringing off the hook, to Bethany,
you want to grab a text.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Of course, I think it's one hundred percent taki to
ask for money.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
However, someone's vending money without asking, I'm going to totally.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Uh. We're talking about if you have a dinner at
your house Thanksgiving Christmas otherwise.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Hey, let me grab this phone real quick. Hello WPOC.
What do you want to say?
Speaker 6 (13:19):
I was calling regarding the dinner.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, about charging a cover charge basically or asking your
your guests to pitch in financially.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
What do you think?
Speaker 6 (13:31):
I disagree with it. I do think it's khaki. I
also think it can cause problems. What happens if you
chip in and then you know, like the dishes that
are served or expended for more for table decorations than
they did for food, or why not just ask someone
to you know, pitch in and bring a dish.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Right rather right? Got it?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Hey, let me just ask you real quick if you
don't mind giving just give me. I'm not gonna get
your name and your age, but just give me your
age so we know, because I'm just wondering if this
is like a gen Z or millennial thing too.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
What age bracket are you going? Sixty? Got it?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Thank you so much for listening. We appreciate you and
have a great morning. All right, thanks you too, all right,
take care. I wonder if it's like you.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Know, a lot of people are saying, like, if it's
if you're eating expensive food, right, you're having seafood, if
you're having steaks, if you're you know that kind of thing, right,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I bet you this is a much more common thing
with millennials and definitely gen z, you know what I mean,
because I don't know if folks that are sixty use
venmo as much. I think it's also part of that
the whole idea of money going back and forth is
that has changed, and it's weird.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
How it's weird to hand someone at ten dollar bill. Yeah,
but thanks for dinner. Yeah, but you can venmo it
and not even think about it. Right. I don't know
who bho.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Season hit Jason we have, don't know how he's ninety
three point one w poc good Marning seven forty seven,
Michael J. And Bethany will you ever consider charging people
that come to your house for dinner to pitch in?
Let's see, we got a millennial online one Bethany wants
(15:21):
to know what you think about it.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
I think it's absolutely ridiculous. And in my family, everyone
brings a dish. That's how it should be, right, So
it's the theme is seafood, then we all bring a
seafood dish.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
All right.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
So there's a millennials against it. Thank you very much
for calling. Hey, you're in the air.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
What about you? Where do you weigh in on this?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Is it acceptable to charge for people coming to your
house for a dinner?
Speaker 6 (15:51):
No, not at all.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
I'm also a millennial, and we also bring a dish.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Right, some people's dishes.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
No, it's oh I want all right? Thank you very
much for colling.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I don't know if I you know, like, do I
really want Aunt Carol's shrimp that she peeled herself on
her counter?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I don't know. I mean, I don't know, Aunt Carol,
just send me ten bucks. However, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Like imagine like everyone's sitting around the table and you
like pass the basket, you just go ahead and put
a donation in, right, that's a week.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Like if you think about it another way, it is
really taggy. You're in the air. What's your first name, Patty?
What do you want to.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Say, Patty, I want to say, if the charge is
for to give for children's center or for animals to
help them, be fine. If to give us fee the donation,
other than that they can stick their money or they
don't think.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
All right, Patty, appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Yeah, I don't know how I feel about this, Like
I literally am split on this because, like somebody said,
isn't it isn't that kind of what a friend's giving is,
Like everybody is bringing something like a pot luck or whatever.
But then a lot of people are weighing in and
saying like if you're hosting, Like if you say I'm
gonna host the dinner, that means you're gonna pay for
the dinner, right right right, That's that's exactly what I'm saying. Interesting,
(17:19):
I really still feel split on this.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Yeah. I like the way we got so many texts here.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I saw one that came in that said, like, we
did it with what was it from?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
They got catering?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yeah, they got catering and they split it up and
everybody seemed cool with it.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
That seems but that's like I guess you plan it
like that from the start, right, like, Hey, let's all
have a dinner.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Ye, get it catered and we'll all chip in. Like
that's like a different thing. Yeah, it is. So you're
up front with it. It doesn't feel like you're trying
to profit.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
On You're not, like, Okay, everyone you know, Michael Jay
is hosting Thanksgiving this year, and then you hit everybody
with a venmo request Like that's a little hard, right.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
We're getting so many calls here, good morning, WOC what
do you want to say?
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Good morning? No, you totally do not ask people for
money if you.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Can't afford it, don't have people.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
The only time I would do that is I eat
crabs a lot.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
They have friends over right, so they know ahead of
time we all chip in for crabs because crabs are
very expensive.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
That's the only time rather than that.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
No, that's interesting though, that's a good point, and that's
see to me, it's the same thing if it's crabs
or if it's flaming.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I had a crab dinner at my house. I don't
think I would expect.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
I don't know, I geta crabs are super expensed.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I mean, if you're getting the jumbos and you're spending
you know, upwards almost a two hundred dollars a dozen,
sometimes one hundred and eighty five or whatever.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah you know, uh yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
But the difference with me is I'm a crab fanatic
and I eat crabs like once a week.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Oh wow, you so you want your friends to support
your crab addiction.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Well, they like crabs just as much as me, and
I'm the one that cooks them. So I set the table. Wow,
supply everything, and a lot of times I'll make dessert.
I have drinks. So the only thing they're doing is
eating crabs, and they're all good with It's not like
they walk in. I say, Okay, everybody has to pay.
We've already discussed everyone has totally.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Can do me a favorite, Patty, put me on your
list when next time you have.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Are you looking for new friends? We'll pay and we'll come.
Just My only requirement is I need jo spice on them.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
All right?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
