Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Remember Loving Theft.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Yeah, they're a duo just like Michael Jane Bethany here
at ninety three point one WPOC. And if you're new
and you're just getting you know, used to us, or
maybe who knows, you just found us, we just want
to say thanks for listening.

Ninety three point one WPOC, Bethanysbree all the things you
need to know to get you. Day started.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
The Ravens won.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Not only did we win, we I don't want to
say dominated because that sounds scary, but we got a pick.
We managed to fight back and there was a turning
point in the beginning of the game, real real quick.
The defense was just giving up the whole field. They
get down into the red zone and we only gave

(00:58):
them a field goal. And it felt from that point
on Ravens are ready to fight. They were like, okay,
you know what I mean, we.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Got we got this right. So nice game, guys.

Speaker 5 (01:07):
I wasn't even going to watch because watching them lose
has been emotional for me, I know, and I googled,
you know, you can google, like who's winning, right, and
I saw that they were up, and I was like,
all right, I'll turn it on, right, And then I
turned it on.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
I was like, ooh, this is what I wanted.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
We looked not we look good. We really, I mean,
you were huntly. Okay, he had a game. He had
a really good game for a backup guy to come
in for Lamar and I love take it.

Speaker 5 (01:35):
When they put the camera on his face, he always
looked composed, right and in charge.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
And that's what I need. That's what I need.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
We're very impressed, buddy.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Okay, welcome back, Tyler.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
All right.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
The Orioles are in the process of finalizing a deal
with Craig Albernaz to become the club's next manager.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
And here's what's interesting about Craig. He was born in
nineteen eighty two. His birthday is this Thursday. He'll be
forty three years old. And he was born just months
before the Orioles won their last World Series, so he
should be ready to bring us another one Orioles.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
By the way, that's a little embarrassing.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
It's a long time, I know.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
But I don't know. He's got a young team to.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah, well, it's going to take a young guy to
you know, inspire and lead young players.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
So good luck to him hope it all works out.

Speaker 5 (02:30):
French police have arrested two men in connection with the
October nineteenth jewel heist at the Louver Museum. The suspect,
one of them, was detained at the airport while trying
to fly to Algeria. The other one was caught while
heading to Mali. Both are French nationals known for their
past burglaries. Trace the DNA evidence from a helmet left

(02:51):
at the scene matched with one of them. Now they're
still looking for the other two suspects and the jewels
one hundred and two million dollars in value.

I hope it works out. I mean, what do you
think it's going to last?

Speaker 4 (03:56):
Maybe maybe the.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Ninety three point one WPOC traffic.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Maybe anytime that you have to introduce yourself and you
like it's a big deal.

Speaker 5 (04:05):
It's not gonna be good. All right, there's an excident
on the outer loop at Stevenson Road. Things are stopping
go from Green Spring. Looks like just the left lane
is getting by. It looks like a heavy rescue is happening.
As Matt has been dispatched. We did get a text
about it too, only yeah, same thing, only the left

(04:27):
lane's getting by, so be safe around there. And then
on eight and ninety five south bound between Pulaski Highway
and the Harbor Tunnel that.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
Stop and go as well.

news on the road and tell you about that.

Okay, yeah, I did some dadding. I never I've never
said that before. Okay, but mommy, I want to hear
about I know.

Speaker 5 (06:01):
Just like running turning around right, I think once your
kids are teenagers, you're just a glorified you know bus driver.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
My dadding real quick was talking to my future daughter
in law and my son about Poe from the Ravens,
and I'm gonna have to tell you that story a
little later on, because it's something.

as the lead vote getter. Unfortunately for Olivia Harms see

(07:07):
yea uh oh. Blake Shelton, one of the people behind
this new singing competition, has a song of his own
to sing, and he says he couldn't be happier with
the wait this is coming out. Ah, there's something about
that part of the song that reminds me of Toby
Keith and I can't remember which Toby's song it is,
but anyway, Blake says it's his favorite song of his career.

(07:30):
Wow yeah, so good luck wow yeah, good luck to him.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
The other big news. I wanted to share with you

Keith Urban says, stop reading into lyric changes and and
anything else that you think could be going on amid
his split with Nicole, because he said what he said,
stop reading sh into it. Oh yeah, so he's making
a direct point. He just wants everybody to calm down.
And he said things, you know, and this is what

(07:58):
I said from the beginning. On one side of it,
it's not our business, right, it's Nicole and Keith. The
other side of is they're two of the biggest stars
on the planet. Yeah, and that is your Music City

Kelsey Ballerini and her dog battling cancer.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
So don't miss that.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Ninety three point one WPOC traffic.

Speaker 5 (08:19):
Okay, it looks like this accident on the outer loop,
but Stevenson is quite a situation. So if you're headed
toward Pikesville on the outer loop, you might want to
hop off, ok cut back on. Looks like it's going
to be three lanes blocked right now and they have
to get some bridge inspectors to come. Look, it's not

(08:39):
good eight ninety five southbound between Pulaski Highway and the
Harbor Tunnel north end is slow and there's an exceit

Speaker 2 (09:28):
All right, We have got a really bad traffic situation
that you need to know about. And this is kind
of a special extra deal, but we need to talk
about this.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
You know what's going on?

Speaker 5 (09:37):
Yeah, So the outer loop at Stevenson Road, there was
an accident overturn tractor trailer. Three right lanes are blocked
right now, and I'm not sure what kind of truck
it is, but has matt Is on the way. It
seems like the driver hit the Stevenson Road bridge. So
now also that is being affected and bridge inspectors are

(10:01):
on the way.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
So here's what this means.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
If you're on the outer loop all right, and I
know that confuses some people, But if you're heading towards
ninety five on the Beltway on the top side, and
you're coming around towards the eighty three's Falls Road and
then Green Spring, and you know you're going in that direction,
you are running. You're going to run into trouble and
you should try to take an alternate route. We have

(10:24):
Nancy on the line who just saw it. She's on
the inner loop going towards Tollson all right, and she
passed it on her left.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
And Nancy, what are you saying?

Speaker 5 (10:33):
They need to get off?

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yeah, at least before Falls Road or Falls Rough.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
I don't know if there's a way to get rammed.
I'm just shocked this. Many drivers don't use Google Maps
or waves or something telling.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Them to get them all well, I'm hoping, I'm hoping
they're using ninety three point one WPOC right now, because
we're here to tell you. If you're coming around from Parkville,
if you're coming around from the east side of Baltimore,
Blair Road, Harford Road, you know, any of that, you're coming.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Up, I mean even even eighty three block range.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah, if you're coming up from Lock Raven, you're gonna
run over towards the eighty threes. That's where you're gonna
have to either go into the city or get off
at Falls Road, like Nancy said.

Speaker 5 (11:14):
Because right now, one lane is getting through, okay, but
I think in order to clean this up, they're going
to have to close it at some point. So you're gonna, like,
because they got to get the they got to get
the tractor trailer back on its wheels, right or put
it on a truck or something like that, they're gonna
have to shut it down.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
And this thing is going to take probably a couple
hours morning.

Speaker 5 (11:32):
Yeah. So just if you know somebody who's headed like
a little bit later this morning in that direction, just yeah,
I want to send them a text.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Rue.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
So for all intents and purposes, avoid the outer loop
of six ninety five the beltway heading. So again, for
anyone who's confused about outer inner. If you're on six
ninety five and you're heading down towards seventy and ninety
five and Glenn Burnie on the outer loop, that is
where you're going to run into a wall of traffic.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
You do not want to get on that road. It's
going to be terrible. Yeah, So that is what we know.
This is where the backup starts on a readyway on
a regular day.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
It always starts back in at seven right, always, But
then you put a tanker on its side and forget
about it. So there's the deal. You have an excuse
to be late this morning.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
We are proud to present today's best Country. This is
ninety three point one POZ Baltimore. All right, listen on
your free iheartradiot for all your music radio and podcasts.
Free never sounded so good.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Do we have anything new on the backup in the
outer loop of the Beltway right now?

Speaker 5 (12:50):
It looks like it's you can still get off the
exit a green spring.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
Okay, So if you.

Speaker 5 (12:57):
Are headed to ok so what we're talking about if
you're just joining us, there's a big accident on outer
loop the loop of the Beltway at Stevenson Road. Some
sort of attractor trailer with a hazmatt situation has hit
the Stevenson Road bridge. So you're gonna not want to
get on the beltway if you can avoid it at all.

(13:17):
And then it looks like from the cameras that you
can get off on Green Spring and kind of avoid
that backup. And this is the outer loop of six
ninety five. You're fine to get on the inner loop
at this point.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
So if you're going towards Towson anywhere on the belt well,
if you're coming up the west side or whatever, you're cool.
You're going to see this though when you get to Stevenson. Yeah,
so be careful, be safe out there.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
All right. So listen, you had a story you wanted
to share with us this morning.

Speaker 5 (13:42):
I understand, okay, So I need you to be completely honest,
you know, I will seven seven ninety six two begin
your message with high or hey, or you can call
us eight hundred three two thirty six ninety three. What
did you not learn or potentially you but you didn't
pay attention in school and you have to like you

(14:04):
had to actively choose to go back and learn it.
There's two things for me. One was the Vietnam war.
I don't feel like I learned enough about that at
school at all. I don't really remember being taught that
at school, right.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
I feel like they gave you one paragraph, we did
American history forever, right, and then they're like, oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (14:25):
And then there was this thing in Vietnam, No big deal,
move on, and I'm like, that's kind of a big deal.
So then they had this like documentary on PBS. I
think it was a couple of years ago. I think
it was a pandemic time. And I watched the documentary
and then I took a deep dive because I was like,
this is fascinating and I don't remember learning anything about
it thence and I know there are people listening who

(14:45):
lived through it, but that wasn't me. So you know,
to me, that is because you were born in the eighties, right,
So I'm like, oh, you know about the sixties and nothing.
And then one paragraph in my history book. I really
truly believe it was one paragraph.

Speaker 4 (14:56):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
So then the other thing is like the history this
is so dumb, the history of.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
Like the world.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (15:05):
What I mean is like this, this weird world is
being so vulnerable right now by telling you that. I
really truly felt like that the dinosaurs and the cavemen.
Maybe it didn't overlap, but I kind of thought they
were pretty close to each other.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
And then.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Because you watched the Flintstones, that's the whole problem.

Speaker 4 (15:30):
No, I'm not even kidding.

Speaker 5 (15:32):
I remember like it before time, like little Foot or whatever.
That was my education, hut. And then and then the
Egyptians building the pyramids and how far is that from
right now?

Speaker 4 (15:46):
Right? And so I had to get like.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Thousands of years ago.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
I'm such a visual learner. I was like, I need
to get I had to go.

Speaker 5 (15:52):
Back and like find like a like a visual timeline
where I could like perspector because I don't know, right,
we're talking billions of years and I didn't know. And
I know that sounds stupid, but you know, I think
there's a lot of stuff that we either learned a
little bit about and then just kind of glazed over
it or nobody taught us at all.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
And that was one of them. For me. My children
don't know how to read a real clock.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
You know that's funny because they don't.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
My kids don't either, And I was like, my youngest,
my youngest is like what she knows how to now,
but like there was a point yeah in her team
like yeah, and I'm like.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
What do you mean you can't read a clock?

Speaker 4 (16:33):
I was like, was I I think you were?

Speaker 1 (16:36):
I think you were.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
And then I was like, but I feel like I
remember learning that in school.

Speaker 5 (16:40):
You like the workshets and you had to draw the
hands and then so I was like, oh, I thought
you were going to learn that.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
I'm really good it. Can I embarrass myself too?

Speaker 4 (16:48):
Please? I don't want to be the only one out here.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
No.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
I just thinking that people had pet dinosaurs. No, I
can about drastic part.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yeah, well go ahead, No, no, no, no, I'm just
there's two things to come back to me, and one
is really embarrassing me, and I haven't This is silly.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
I never learned how to tie my shoes.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
Ah no, I think there's a lot of people, so.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Listen what happened when I was little? Like I don't
know when do you learn how to tie your shoes?

Speaker 1 (17:12):
Like five?

Speaker 5 (17:13):
Four?

Speaker 4 (17:13):
Yeah? Yeah, I think it's a lot of kindergarten. You
have to do it before you go.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
My mother I must have a learning disability because she
worked with I can still remember sitting down working with me.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Till you would. I still don't know how to do it.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
You take the shoelace and you wrap around, you pull
it through, and I'm like that, never, my brain.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
You still don't know how to tie your shoes.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
I don't think I do so no, So here's what
we love. So I learned an alternate way to time. Okay,
the only way that could so. What I did was,
and this is easy to explain. You take each shoelace
and you just loop it, so you've got like two
bunny ears. Yeah, you follow me. Then you take the
bunny ears and just and you wrap around and tie them.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
Okay, that's what I mean, as long as your shoes
stay on.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
That's what I learned because.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
I couldn't and then don't even ask when I got
to high school and I had to wear a tie.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Oh, I learned how to do that. But for whatever reason,
when I.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Was a kid man, when I was fine, I wonder
if I'm the only person that didn't know what it's
just and I've.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
Never learned the proper way. Dan says, never for me.

Speaker 5 (18:13):
It's Spanish, twelve years of it and can't speak a lick.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
Well, sorry, oh my.

Speaker 5 (18:18):
God, and then he says, I have spent most of
my adult life working in safety and construction.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
Yeah, you wish he would have paid attention.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yeah, well, Dan, Hey, we've all got holes in our
in our knowledge.

Speaker 5 (18:29):
And I and I loved the other day going back
and looking like really, now that I care and now
that I'm interested.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
I'm like, right, so now you're inspiring me because I
were sketchers. So well, we'll talk about that. That's a
whole Another is that you have got to go back
and learn again.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
Seven seven nine six two. Begin your message with higher Hey, or.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Give us a call?

Speaker 4 (18:53):
Was he calling you?

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Dog? We're going to update the situation on the Beltway,
but first here on ninety three point one WDPOC, Michael
J and Bethany we were talking about things that we
need to relearn or we you know, I have to

(19:15):
learn because for whatever reason, we didn't get it the
first time.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
And Bethany you can fast. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (19:22):
I feel like basically geography, like I throughout my life
have had to be like when we're talking about like Yemen,
I'm like, I gotta go look at a map. I
don't remember exactly where that is. You know, for instance,
why are you laughing.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
I'm just laughing. I know about Yemen, but I can't
tell my shoes.

Speaker 4 (19:40):
Yeah, well, Peggy says. Peggy says, I couldn't teach my
kids how to tie their shoes. I'm sixty six. My
mother in law had to teach them.

Speaker 5 (19:48):
And the other thing that I didn't feel like we
learned enough about was Vietnam. I really feel like they
skimmed over that when I was in high school and
someone said, Hi, Vietnam was a very big deal for
that of us who lived our lives and they were
totally disrupted in the sixties, and for those of us
whose lives are still haunted sixty years later. Yeah, I agree.

(20:10):
I feel like that. It's almost like.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
The more recent history I feel like should should really
be touched on.

Speaker 5 (20:16):
You know.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
You know, it was kind of cool yesterday at the
Ravens game because they had they had a flyover and
they had guys that jumped and parachuted onto the field
and it was about Military Service Day and they talked
about veterans from you know, Afghanistan and the Middle East.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
The more recent history, more recent history.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
In Vietnam and whatever. So it was cool, a cool
moment for those who served yesterday, and.

Speaker 5 (20:38):
Lizzie says, for me, it was about financial readiness and
basic skills like balancing a check book, et cetera.

Speaker 4 (20:44):
Yeah, true, Lizzy.

Speaker 5 (20:46):
I But what the cool, the very cool thing is
is that the other day, when I was having all
those questions in my head about stuff, it was really
easy to find information and from credible sources. So it's
never too late to learn. And I love I loved
the idea of being curious and like, yeah, being a
forever learner.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
You know, well, today we're going to learn about traffic.
And let me tell you before we hit the traffic setup.
This is such a mess. I think we need to
give it special attention. Yeah, on the Beltway, Bethany. You
first reported this, what about forty five minutes ago. Yeah,
there's a really bad accident, Steven said, I'm just looking
at at waves in addition to your camera. Not only
is the outer loop now backed and it's backing and

(21:24):
backing and backing. It was at one point just to
Falls Road. It looks like it's solid to Falls Road
now with the backup.

Speaker 5 (21:31):
Yeah, So what happened is there was an accident on
the outer loop at Stevenson road. It seems that a
tractor trailer hit at the Stevenson Road bridge, so and
I don't know what was in the truck yet, but
there is a has Matt situation and they need to
bring in bridge bridge inspectors to.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
Check out the bridge.

Speaker 5 (21:52):
So you're not going to want to get on the
outer loop pretty much at all on the top side, Yeah, exactly,
because I think there's one lane open right now, but
it doesn't really look like it's moving fast, and I
think they're going to have to close it.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Now.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Here's the additional problem I just want to throw in.
The inner loop is gawking. So right now it looks
like the inner loop does open up at back to
full speed when you get past the accident at Stevenson,
but people are just backing up on the inner loop
all the way back down now past where is this at?

Speaker 1 (22:28):
This is past Truod Cemetery.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Man, it's the inner loop is back and I mean
like right now Hard Bethany, all the way back towards
Reisierstown Road. Yeah, right on back to Reiser's Down Road.
So that's only going to expand as well too unless
people keep moving. So I don't know what we do.
At this point, the accident so bad. Everybody wants to
see this eighteen wheeler on its side.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
Go back to bed ninety three point one WPOC traffic.

Speaker 5 (22:57):
Eighty five south bound between Moravia Road and the Harbor
to Funnel is also stopping.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
Go and then
