Want for Christmas is You As returned to the Billboard
Hot one hundred earlier than ever this year, re entering
at number thirty one on the November fifteenth chart. This
marks the first time the song has appeared partly off
Halloween week listening through its early November streaming and airplane numbers.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
It's just the earliest that anyone's ever wanted to hear this.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
I mean, don't you think it's better if you wait
till after Thanksgiving?

Speaker 8 (23:54):
Why?

Speaker 4 (23:55):
I don't know, but that's the big overall music news.
I don't know. To me, that's not the one.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
But everybody's got their their own Christmas song, right, So,
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
For me, I just it doesn't do it. It just
I want no, I want like I'm feeling grinchy.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
I don't know. No, that's just not the song for me. Okay. Anyway,
rest of your music City minute.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Cody Johnson, who was nominated for four awards on the
CMA docket this year, including Entertainer of the Year, will
not be there. Will not be performing. And I guess
maybe he's got the grinch thing going on that's wrong
with him. Well, he has a ruptured ear drum and
because of that he can't perform. He made the responsible

(24:43):
decision to prioritize his health and recovery, canceling everything for
the rest of the year.

Speaker 4 (24:49):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
So he welcomed the baby boy with his wife and
he's optimistic about returning to the stage in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 4 (24:56):
But he's not going to be at the CMA Awards,
So that was probably a tough decision.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
But yeah, when you're up for Entertainer of the Year,
you get here and then you don't go well.

Speaker 4 (25:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:04):

All right, now, Bethany, you and I both have kids
are a little older. They're not They're not They're they're
not walking around at five or six years old at
this point, right. But when you have young kids during
the holidays, starting with Thanksgiving, you got to make plans
for it because they can get into everything, right, And
we were talking about how having children during the holidays

(26:22):
takes some special effort.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
Yeah, they are, like certain issues they come up. I remember,
like anything from food allergies to like, you know, traveling
to I don't know, the kiddie table at Thanksgiving, to.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Visiting at friends' houses with your kids and having an
adult beverage and losing track of where your kids are
in the house and your kids are up destroying somebody's bathroom.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
Oh that sound that sounded a little person. Well, I
can tell a story.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
There were a couple of kids when I was actually
with these other kids when when I was a kid,
and uh, well, the two children who were not being
chaperoned at that moment, had made their way into the
bathroom at my parents' house and they took everything. You
know how you have like a closet in your bathroom
when you have while your supplies, your shampoo, your toothpaste, Scott.

(27:16):
The one kid was emptying everything, No, everything from the
closet into the dub Oh yeah, and the parent. The
parents ended up having a little disagreement about it. Yeah,
you got to keep an eye on your kids when
you're at somebody else's house.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
Yeah. Uh. Did you have a kiddie table.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
When I was really young, Yeah, of course you did. Yeah,
you have the kittie table, and then you have the
you know, the grown ups. But I mean now my
kids are you know, they're in college, so uh, it's
a different situation.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
Now they're gonna be putting me at the kitty table.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Yeah, you can't eat solid food.

Speaker 4 (27:55):
Yeah. What are the what are the main issues that
you're stressed about if you have little ones over the holidays?
Like I think traveling is a big deal.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
Oh yeah, Like I remember having to drive in the
middle of the night when we would have to drive
home with little kids because they would just be it
would just be better for their schedule for them to
sleep on the night in the car and us to
take the l And and also I remember one time
that we had the cousins all over at our house

(28:26):
and they trashed my daughter's room. Oh really see and
then that was it was similar to your story about
the bathroom. Yeah, I think I feel like that. Like
with little kids and holidays, there are always things well,
they're wound.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Up, they have a lot of energy, and then they crash.
You know, it's all it's a sugar high. So are
you prepared for any special you know what's on your mind?

And perhaps maybe Santa is even having a little anxiety.

Speaker 4 (29:06):
Probably you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
I mean, he keeps eating all the cookies, and the
chimneys don't get any bigger, No, they don't, you know

Speaker 4 (29:12):

Speaker 1 (29:58):
You're at ninety three point one WPS kids in your family.

Speaker 6 (30:01):
No, oh, we just got a puppy.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
Oh wow, we.

Speaker 6 (30:09):
Can't even have a Christmas true.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Whoa, Oh my gosh, because the puppy might tear the
tree down.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
Yeah, oh my god. What's the puppy's name, Charley? Ah?

Speaker 1 (30:21):
What kind of puppy is Charlie found? Oh my goshow

Speaker 4 (30:31):
We're all sleeping on the ride of school today. Oh wow?

Speaker 1 (30:36):
All right, well, good luck with that. Oh my goodness.
So no Christmas tree. Where's Santa gonna put the presents?

Speaker 4 (30:42):
No, we're not sure yet.

Speaker 6 (30:44):
We're kind of sad about that.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
We might try to shove one in the window.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
All right.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
Maybe Santa should bring Harley at uh crazy, I.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Think he needs a creak for the dog. So anyway,
good luck with that. So that's what they've got their
hands full with.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
Yeah, we're talking about what's stressful for parents at the holidays.
This one really hits home to me because I remember
doing this when my kids were little. Holidays were stressful
at school because every day is a theme day. You
wear stripes, you wear polka dots, you come in for
the party, or you have an event or things to
sing along or a school makes me stressed out at

(31:21):
the holidays, I have to agree, like, oh it's pajama day.
Oh yeah, to bring a treat, you have to I
can't keep it all straight. And then this one's interesting too.
She tells a story about how her kids are teenagers
now and they are turning into the babysitter of all
the other little cousins at all the events, right, and
that's a responsibility, Like they're supposed to be enjoying their

(31:44):
holiday too, exactly why do they have to walk? Interesting?
And then somebody said, I have season tickets for the
Ravens and they play at.

Speaker 4 (31:51):
Home, and I don't know what to do. Yeah, do
I have Thanksgiving? Do I go to the game?

Speaker 6 (31:56):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (31:56):
You got it?

Speaker 6 (31:56):
A game?

Speaker 4 (31:57):
You got it?

Speaker 5 (31:57):
A game?

Speaker 4 (31:58):
Got it? Cheer on the Ravens.

Speaker 9 (32:00):
VI well fan the lammy of a ladder control.

Speaker 4 (32:06):
Yeah you know, Vivie. So Drake then attaps you. It'll
get me gone.

Speaker 7 (32:13):
Oh no, we oh now there will go.

Speaker 5 (32:18):
Then right now, Agenseagle Bell, I got my mind, I
got my I got my.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
Hands, and I got my.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
George Burge on ninety three point one W P O C.
Michael J and Bethany I.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
We're talking about stress when you have little kids at
the holidays, and we got a text from a young
mom who said that she's sick of carrying the entire
mental load for the whole family.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
And so that is I think that probably hits home
with a lot of because that's where I heard from
my wife for a long time, Like you know, like
there's well.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
No, did you decide at any point that you'd like to.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
Step or no? I trying to help up, but you
know what it's it's like in a family. One person
does seem to want to like be the quarterback?

Speaker 4 (33:16):
Do they want to or are they forced to? I
don't know. I don't know the answer to that. I
don't know either.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
But do you I want to throw that out there
in your text at seven seven nine six two? Do
you you know? Are you that one person that like
takes care of Christmas? I? Do you do it as
a team?

Speaker 4 (33:33):
Do you? Probably? No? I've the majority of people this
one person who quarterbacks it. Yeah, you know what I mean.
It probably wouldn't get done if she didn't do it.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
So this is a reminder to gentlemen listening, you don't
have to wait for your wife to tell you what
to do.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
You can go ahead and choose to do some things right.
And to those gentlemen who are already doing that, amen
of you.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
And also a reminder that you don't have to do
everything right. It's okay if you do store bock cookies
this year. It's okay if you don't send Christmas cards
out this year, like it's okay.

Speaker 4 (34:12):
Are people really still sending out Christmas cards?

Speaker 3 (34:14):
I think that's one of the things that has to
go by the wayside.

Speaker 4 (34:18):
I think it has. There's just not enough time.

Speaker 3 (34:20):
Yeah, no, I think that there's still a big pressure
online maybe to do like well, no, everybody wants to
do the car the instagram worthy card right, right, So
you don't have to though, like it's okay, take a
deep breath.

Speaker 4 (34:31):
It's supposed to be fun, right, and we do put
a lot on ourselves this time year, right.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
You don't have to like it's okay, Like your kids
are still going to grow up healthy, and.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
I don't know why it is.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
I mean, I just you see a lot of times
it is the woman who is taking care, you know
what I mean. So I understand this young person who
texted who said she feels all the weight of that
responsibility that she's taken off.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Often the liaison between like both both sides of the family, yeah, right,
and the in laws and all that ordnating and the
gift giving and the home.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
The dinners, I mean Thanksgiving alone because we're going to
do Thanksgiving at my houses and like just getting prepped
for that. We were at the grocery store of the weekend.
I'm like, look, do we start shopping because I'm trying
to help.

Speaker 4 (35:15):
You know.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
It's like it's not all on Cheryl, but like it's
a lot when you get into the holadies for couples. Yeah,
and then you add the little kids we're talking about, right.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
Oh yeah, it's a ton. So just take a deep breath.
It's okay, ask for help if you need it. It's
gonna be great.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
Yeah, and we'll be right over.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
Someone from the tech said, I'm the quarterback and I
hate it, but I wouldn't get done if I didn't
do this.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Is my point. And I'm assuming that's a woman. I
don't know. I'm not trying to sound sexist. I don't
know if it's a woman or not. But it seems
that a lot of times it's mom right taking care
of everything.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
So let us all take a moment of reflection on that.

Speaker 7 (35:52):
Yeah, ninety three point one WPOC traffic.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
Okay, we've got an accident on B to B Parkway
southbound after one seventy five.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Two left lanes are blocked there. On the outer loop
at seven
