twenty three million people. Oh my god, that's wild. So

Speaker 5 (03:27):
Why?

Speaker 2 (03:27):

congrats to Thomas Arrette. Hey Alabama fan, the original Alabama man,
not the college football team, because I know a lot
of people are thinking college football now. No, Alabama is
back together again, and I didn't even know they had

(04:51):
really split.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
But here's what went down.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
They welcome their former drummer Mark Herndon back on stage
Saturday night in Huntsville, Alaba.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
And they said it.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Was the first time that the original guys played together.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
In more than twenty years. Wow.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Yeah, Herndon was in the fold after. What happened was
they broke up in two thousand and four because the
guys were squabbling over money and the other guy said
that Mark Herndon had gotten overpaid. So then they're like,
we don't really need him, he's just the drummer, and
they kicked him out. So they've patched it up. So

(05:29):
it's nice to see they're back together. And by the way, footnote,

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Not in Alabama, No, No, they got started in Myrtle Beach,
South Carolina.

That is your music City Minute.

Speaker 8 (05:58):
Ninety three point one WPOC traffic A couple of accidents.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Let me tell you something that I thought was I rolly, okay,
doomsday prepping really.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
But I might be coming around to it.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Well, people are getting into, you know, kind of planning
for the worst case scenario.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
So well I've seen at Costco they have those like
buckets of food.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yeah, I'm like, okay.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Like, and I just don't I I never thought that
that was something you would do to do. But like,
I was reading this article this morning about how if
the Internet goes down And I don't mean internet goes
down for a couple hours, I mean like, if the
Internet goes down and everything we how basically, for lack

(06:48):
of a better word, screwed would be right, Like we
all rely on the Like I have literally ten dollars
to my name in cash, right if the ATM machines
don't work or like and all my bills get paid online? Right,
what if the banking system goes down?

Speaker 6 (07:02):
Right?

Speaker 1 (07:02):
And I started to be like oh, but then I'm like,
should we panic? Well?

Speaker 3 (07:06):
I wonder if we can find is there one of
our loyal seven members of our little family here? Do
you listening? Do you prep for?

Speaker 2 (07:15):
What's the status of your prep situation?

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yeah, we want to hear from somebody who is a
serious doomsday prepper. Have you dug a some sort of
a vault in your backyard to go hide out? I mean,
it doesn't have to be that ridiculous, you know, or
that that intense.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Some people just have like a few gallons of water
right in their basement. Some people have you know, extra
batteries laying around. But what like what at what level
is it necessary?

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Right?

Speaker 3 (07:40):
We want to hear from you if you are prepping,
you know, for that big hurricane that could wipe us
out or something else specific.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Just convince me, yeah that I need to be caring
about this.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Eight hundred three two one thirty six ninety three. We
need to hear from you, Michael j and Bethanie to
get things done.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
A heavy again.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
These don like Russian rush into the last No phone
all ready got a Linavy, No No Alabama.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
They're back together again. We heard about that in the
Music City minute. Mark Herndon the drummers back with the band.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
So that's cool.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Hey, it's Michael Jane Bethanting ninety three point one WPOC.
We're talking to you if you specifically have planned for
a crisis Here's what I mean. Are you a person
who's got food stockpiled that you don't eat? It's like
military rations where you you know, if if you get
stuck at home for weeks again on end, that you

(08:48):
would have food in an emergency. Remember the days when
the toilet paper all disappeared off the shelves at the stores.
So we're looking for you to call eight hundred and
three to two one thirty six ninety three. If you
are the person who is doomsday prepping, they.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Call it I have nothing prepared.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
And I think that's why this article hit me so hard,
because it makes some really good points, like, for instance,
the power grid that we all live off of is
like one hundred and twenty years old, and we are
really putting more stress on it than ever.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
But when you.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Say that, though, what do you I mean? Are the
wires that we see from the telephone poles the infrastructure
of the electricity system? Okay, were and we're putting more
stress on it than like ever.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yeah, because people have.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Got electric cars and people are using chat GPT. They
say that uses a lot of energy to use these ais.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
We just keep you know, hammering it, Yeah, exactly, and
without many upgrades.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Do you know what I mean? I gotcha, And.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
So that's kind of scary, like I don't know, it's
just really like if the electricity goes down, like permanently
in the internet goes down, then are lying on satellite internet.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
I don't have satellite internet, you know.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
I want to point out we're not getting any calls
right now, which must mean that none of us are
planning for the future.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Seven of them. I mean, that's okay, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Well, no, because we're the people that are fighting over
till the vapor the game Marl when it happens.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Here's what they say that you should have extra cash
laying around. They say that you should waterproof wrapping. Now,
how much cash should you have on hand?

Speaker 6 (10:27):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
I don't know. The other question.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
You don't want to be like a victim one hundred bucks,
five hundred bucks, you know, I mean, you don't want
to just leave money in your house?

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Just I do you? I mean?

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Or what about you? Are you listening saying well, I've
got a thousand dollars stuff?

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yah?

Speaker 2 (10:42):
My freezer parents used to have a couple of dollars
in the free Who was planning for you know, we
could get a hurricane.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
Let's say that just wipes things out in floods and
we're stuck for a week.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
When I used to live in Florida, I went two
weeks without electricity.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
That was a long time. That's the worst, A long time.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
When all the food in the fridge goes bad and
you got to toss it, and then.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
You're like eating.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
You invite everybody, invites the neighbors over, like we're gonna
We're just cooking everything in the grill.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
And by day three people are fried with BG and E.
And it's not BG and e's fault necessarily, is it?

Speaker 2 (11:12):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Like, uh, when a natural disaster strikes, you do have
to be prepared for this.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Well, is like I would would beg the question, is
BGE doing everything that they can?

Speaker 2 (11:23):
I don't know. I don't know the answer. Are we sure?
I don't know? But you're not, so you've done nothing
as well? You're nothing. Okay.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
They're also saying you should have a battery operated radio,
but that begs the question can this.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Place still run without electricity? How long?

Speaker 3 (11:38):
So you know what I would do is you got
gasoline at least a tank if you keep your if
you know a storm's coming, for example, you fill up
your car, you can charge your phone in your car.
But then what happens when there's no electricity to run
the gas pumps and you run?

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yeah, everybody runs. Oh, and then the gas shortage might
be being a little too enag That's what I'm saying. No,
this is this is my question. Okay, how how worried
do we have to be? Because I've lived my life
kind of like, well, yeah, if it happens, and we'll
figure it out. You know, if the zombies come, I'll
just let them have me, you know. But like, should I,

(12:15):
as a grown adult, care more?

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Well, I would say yes.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
So like when I start thinking about this, I go
down a deep hole and I don't want to I
don't want to go down that hole.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
I know.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
We're getting calls now here at w POC, Good morning.

Speaker 9 (12:29):

Speaker 2 (12:30):

Speaker 3 (12:31):
Do you prepare for a disaster or do you do
anything special to be to be careful? You know, in
case the power was to go out for a week
on end?

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Right, okay, Dana, you're smart, and let me ask you
a question. Let me ask you this question because here's
what I don't know about, and I'm not asking you
to reveal too much information. What are you comfortable in saying?
How much cash do you keep on hand? Because I
don't know how much you would need really, like a
week's worth or you know, a certain dollar amount.

Speaker 9 (13:22):
Yeah, well, I would say two weeks worth of stuff
that you need, not for like, not for bills, radio,
but forget your bill. You're gonna need stuff to like
bribe with people and for gas.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Do you bribe with people.

former or she's a was a police officer for twenty years. Okay,
and she still has her handcuffs, if you know what

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Oh my god. All right, we've got big news, and

Speaker 3 (22:53):

The three judges, I'm back for another amazing season of
Iowan University.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Anything that's missing you you?

Speaker 12 (23:35):
You all right?

Speaker 2 (23:37):
I'm like the football game. So there they go.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
They've confirmed because Luke was being coy about whether or
not he was going to return as a judge. Right,
so now we know. And here's the fascinating part. To me,
how much and maybe you know, I was blown away
at this? How much do you think being a judge
on American Idol pays?

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (23:59):
I had to guess three million dollars? See, that's where
I would have been. I said two or three million?
Keep going?

Speaker 6 (24:07):
Really?

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Yeah, keep going? Twenty million?

Speaker 3 (24:09):
No, not that nutty, but twelve million bucks. Okay, they're
each making twelve twelve million dollars.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
They each make the same. Yes, Oh about that. Here's
what I found.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
Katie Perry when she was on somehow she negotiated twenty
five million per season, okay, while Lionel and Luke were
making twelve.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Oh, and there was a little bit of a I
bet there was a fight, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
So now they brought Kerrie Underwood in and she's making
the same amount of money as as Luke and Lionel.
So all three of them are right in the twelve
Well that's at least what they're publishing. So who knows
if there's something going on behind the scenes. But can
you just imagine stop and think for a second. This
is a part time job for those right, they're part time.

(24:58):
Gig pays twelve million. That is your Music City minute
ninety three point one WPOC traffic.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
All right, things are starting to get a bit messy
out on the roads. Please drive safely today.

Heads up, married women, We need a married woman to

ninety three right now. We need someone who's got experience
being married to one of us guys. Oh sorry, yeah,
all right, Well, a married woman would know the answer
to the questions that we have Bethany. Yes, so you're

(25:42):
looking for him right now? Eight hundred three two one
thirty six ninety three. We'll explain what's up after Corey Kent. Yeah,
you're a ninety three point one WPOC.

Speaker 12 (25:58):
I'm love to no.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
Good burning through second wind, Cha Jams James, it's ninety
three point one w POC Michael j and Bethany. Are

(26:21):
you a married woman?

Speaker 10 (26:22):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (26:23):
I am?

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Okay, how many years you been married?

Speaker 6 (26:27):
Two years?

Speaker 2 (26:29):
How's it going? You're still a newlywed?

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Then?

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Right?

Speaker 10 (26:33):
So newly webbed? Absolutely, but everything's going well.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Let's get what is your first name? We didn't catch it, Courtney,
and you're married to.

Speaker 6 (26:45):
Zach?

Speaker 1 (26:45):
All right, Courtney and Zach Bethany's real cute. Two years
they've been together. That's week, all right, Courtney, here's the deal.
In Senegal country in West Africa, community leaders have have
established what they're calling School for Husband. Okay, this is
a school where they teach men about women's rights and

(27:07):
how to be a good husband, even like household chores
and you know, taking care of their wife, this kind
of thing. Do you think that your husband would have
benefited from something like that?

Speaker 10 (27:24):
I feel like I am the school, I think them, Oh, and.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
You've been schooling for the last two years, haven't yet?

Speaker 6 (27:39):
I have a six or seven years.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
Okay, six or seven total. Now, what are a couple
of things that like he should know that he doesn't.

Speaker 10 (27:52):
It was a lot more like what the cinging. I
think that's what they take. Okay, but I feel like
that's just a general girl thing.

Speaker 6 (27:59):
That we just know how to clean words.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
Now, let me ask you, Courtney h when you say cleaning,
to really take me to what you're specifically talking about.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Is it cleaning the toilet? Is it huh?

Speaker 6 (28:14):
Yeahthroom, the bathroom?

Speaker 3 (28:16):
Yeah, I'm telling you for whatever reason, And I think
it's just laziness because I have to think that I'm
speaking of behalf of men.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
We know how to clean a toilet. I just think
that we're like ask through it.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
We'll just I think that you guys get away with
your whole life pretending you don't know how to do stuff.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Yeah, but we really and then the women.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Do for you, right, Because here's the thing, how difficult
is it really to get some of that toilet bowl
cleaner and then get the scrub brush. That's our point
exactly with you all right, Well, now we need married
women to call us. Eight hundred and three two one
six ninety three Courtney, thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
She's sweet.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
Her and Zach have a little baby boy who's six
months old, so I've got their hands full. But that
sounds very, very sweet. We're wondering, you know, what is
it that you wish your husband had learned before you
got married.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
We assume a lot.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Because we think, oh, we're with the perfect person, you know,
when we're getting married. We have the same things in common,
we both we both like to do X.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
I have a couple of things to say. One should
we all be going to marriage school, like how to
take care of a partner? Yeah, that's a good point,
you know how Like I feel like back in the
day they used to have like marriage counseling before Like
who knows if that was really helpful, do you know
what I mean?

Speaker 3 (29:37):
But like, you know, the Catholic Church has this thing
that I went through with my first marriage, which didn't work,
but they put you through like a like almost like
a quiz, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (29:49):
And I look back on it. You're everyone is so
dreamy when they're getting married.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
They think, oh, it's gonna be puppy dogs and fairy
tales and you know what I mean, we kind of
blue sky everything. Then when you actually get into living
with someone under a relationship, and it's really it's business,
it's money, it's.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Everything, right if you do and then and then I
don't know this, but are we, like I kind of
said to Courtney, are we kind of raising our girls
to be wives from the minute that they're born, but
we're not raising our boys to be husbands?

Speaker 3 (30:25):
Well let's find out here. Let's grab this line WPOC,
good morning.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Who's this all right?

Speaker 6 (30:31):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Rachelle? Michelle? So, Michelle, what do you wish your husband
had been schooled on? Before?

Speaker 6 (30:40):
You?

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Said?

Speaker 1 (30:40):
I do.

Speaker 10 (30:43):
I must be spoiled because he cleans all the bathrooms,
he does the grocery shopping, and the rest of the
household were awesome.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
He must have gone to a husband school. I guess
he had it figured out. That's awesome.

Speaker 6 (30:57):
Yeah, he didn't need it.

Speaker 10 (30:59):
He came per.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Do you think that you have anything that you needed
to learn how to be like a good wife?

Speaker 6 (31:08):
Yeah? I think we're like pretty fifty fifty on everything.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
That's how long you've been married.

Speaker 6 (31:16):
Twenty eight years.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Wow, I'm impressed. And how many kids?

Speaker 10 (31:21):
Yeah? Two kids, twenty eight years and we've.

Speaker 11 (31:25):
Been together for thirty three Wow, congratulations Just at the
field on fighters cutting across the pastor.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
She'll have you found for it only right after he
got a cold.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
You gotta.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
Me and me and Barn, Me and bar and.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Jordan Davis on ninety three point one Dilody Poc with
Michael j and Bethany. Now she is going to be
known as Helen, although that is not your real name.
But you think people who know you might recognize your voice?

Speaker 6 (32:06):
I mean that's fair, all right, Well.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Then I'll we'll try. You can try to change your
voice if you want to.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
We're talking about spouses that perhaps needed to go to
school before they got married.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
What do you think? And Helen's got a lot to say?

Speaker 6 (32:21):
So then I want to be an investor in whatever
school this is. And did you say Africa?

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Or maybe we should open one in Baltimore? So what
is the point? Why why do you feel guys need
to go to school before they get married?

Speaker 6 (32:37):
So many reasons. First of all, I find incredible happiness
and joy in girlfriends like lady friends, mom friends, support friends,
There are so many guys who are threatened by that,
and I think it's insane. Like the happiness and joy

(32:59):
and support you get from other women, you should not
be friended by that. You should be super happy for
your wife about that that she's found people like that.
The other thing that I always say to people, you know,
when you go to the like bridal showers and they
give you the little cards that say give your advice,
and the one thing that I would say is you

(33:19):
you talked about the Catholic Church and going.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Through that marriage, yeah, marriage count.

Speaker 6 (33:24):
Marriage or whatever, and they always say like, oh, great,
you know you want kids?

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (33:29):
Do you want kids?

Speaker 10 (33:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (33:30):
Right. The one thing you don't talk about is how
you raise kids. Like the conversation kind of stops when
you say like, yes, of course I want kids. And
then you're like, okay, great, we're gonna have families, plan
and do that. But the way you raise children is
so important.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
There's many different lot of times you don't.

Speaker 6 (33:48):
Realize that, yeah, yeah, there's completely different styles. And particularly
I'm a girl mom, and the I would say a
lot of men you see these like talks and thinks,
these phenomenal hashtag girl dads and they do all this stuff,
but there's a lot of men who from the generation
who are raising these little girls right now were not

(34:11):
provided like the emotional intelligence to be girl dads will
properly love them and support them to make sure that
them they are looking for those good partners down the road.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
I'm actually glad that you brought up the emotional intelligence thing,
because one thing that I was thinking needed to be
at this school for spouses is like communication and you
know how to support your partner emotionally, because I feel
like that is sometimes God, you know what.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
And I'm going to say this.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
Very personal because this is my one of my big
weaknesses and it's why I'm going to therapy to learn
about this. But like, and it's been a challenge in
my marriage, is how how do I emotionally support my wife?
And I don't mean that I'm not saying this tongue
in cheek. I'm serious. I think a lot of us guys,
we don't really know what did do what that means,

(35:02):
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
We don't know what, we don't understand.

Speaker 12 (35:05):
We just don't understand it, and then you just don't
do it because you don't want to get in trouble
for doing it the wrong way exactly, and it's like
and then it's just like field.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
Yeah, and then before you know it, you're heading towards
divorce and it's like it's a it's a really big
it's a really big issue.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
It really is.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
And I've I don't know if y'all find this, but
I find like most things come down to communication.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Like if you break it down, yeah, the fight's not
really about the dishwasher.

Speaker 12 (35:36):
You know what.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
And I've got a son who's getting married and a
daughter who's in love and they're you know, they're both
talking about the people that are with and it's it's
just in the beginning of a marriage, you know, they're like,
everything's great, we communicate great. But their idea of communicating
is like we can both agree on where to go
to dinner, you know what I mean. It's like it's
different when you know, you got to try to figure

(35:57):
out how to emotionally support your wife and she's had
a you know, she's gotten chewed out by her boss
or you know, something horrible happened, and it's and we
just blow it off and think, Okay, you'll be all right,
and we don't take that moment to really really and
I confess I think I'm not educated on that. I

(36:19):
wish I wouldn't have waited to this point my life
to talk to a therapist. And Bethany's the reason I'm
doing it.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
You really are. I mean, I think everybody needs somebody
to talk to.

Speaker 6 (36:28):
Yeah, it's so healthy. Therapy is so healthy, and I
hate the stigma that it is like a shameful thing
because it's absolutely not. I tell everyone, I'm like, I've
got a therapist, my kids got a therapist. My husband
and I have a therapist. Like it's wonderful.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
Right. Well, I'll tell you what, Helen. I don't know
if your immediate family knew it was you, but I
really appreciate you checking in.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
It's been nice talking to you. Yeah, it really was.
You brought up some very very important things.

Speaker 6 (36:55):
I love these happy little moments with Helen. You guys
are great. You're my morning routine and I'm just glad
to be at all.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Right, you have a wonderful day. We love it.

Speaker 7 (37:03):
Ninety three point one WPOC traffic.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Okay, so there's a situation on one hundred westbound at
Oakwood Road that is pretty elevated there. It looks like
things are crawling for quite some time, so if you
can avoid one one hundred in glen Burney, you should
do so. There's an accident on seventy eastbound right before
Baltimore National Pike and another accident it seems like a
seventy eastbound at the Patapsco River Bridge.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
