Speaker 1 (00:06):
All right, good morning six oh five with Michael J
and Bethany. We're gonna tell you all about our WPOC
Safe Way Free Food Friday, which begins right after we
check in with Bethany here.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Ninety three point one WPOC Bethany's brief All the things
you need to know to get you day started.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
So, the FBI announced that more than thirty people were
taken into custody across eleven states and two separate investigations,
including Portland Trailblazers coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat player
Terry Rosier. They were arrested as part of this nationwide
sweep including illegal or involving illegal sports betting and organized

(00:48):
crime poker games.

Speaker 4 (00:51):
They're saying there's ties to.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
The mafia, Like this is a big deal that's affecting
pretty much the entire NBA.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
And I wonder if other sports franchises or leagues are
on notice.

Speaker 5 (01:06):
Do you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 4 (01:07):
I would have to imagine.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, oh my gosh, it'll be interesting to see how
this plays out.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
Yeah, yikes.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Chauncey Billups used to be a player for the Detroit Pistons.
Now he's coaching but well, now he's no longer coaching.

Speaker 5 (01:21):
He's in the lock up. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Oh, there was a groundbreaking ceremony yesterday to celebrate the
longer waited Towson High School renovation. A new five story
edition will add one hundred thirty thousand square feet in
room for almost five hundred more kids.

Speaker 5 (01:36):
You mean they're going to get rid of the trailers
out back, But why we're used to them, now them
for ten years.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Meanwhile, in Middle.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
River, students are being shuffled around as some boundary changes
are being proposed to balance out the population some elementary
schools there. Also, if you see a steaming pile of
pooh in the Phoenix area, don't worry, it's fine.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
Don't call authorities.

Speaker 5 (01:58):
Unless you see flame.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Now, if you do see flames, they obviously are convinced
that the minora could ignite.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Oh, by the way, I see all y'all's Texas coming
in here for the roll call.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
We're gonna get to that in just a second.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Kim Kardashian revealed she was diagnosed with an aneurysm caused
by stress from her divorce to Kanye West and psoriasis.
She's opening up about experiencing Stockholm syndrome. I know a
lot of people roll their eyes at the Kardashians, but
what I do want to point out is I think
it's very interesting that she's bringing to light the fact

(02:33):
that a stressful relationship or a stressful point in your
life can actually bring about health problems like that's important
to know. Reeba McIntyre will host the NBC's annual Christmas
and Rockefeller Center Special Live from New York December third.
The rest of the lineup will be announced soon. EA

(02:53):
Gaming will shut down the SIMS Mobile in January. Seven
years and more than fifty updates and they're gonna shut
it down. And lastly, do you want to make a
guess who who.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Was going to be Jimmy Kimmel before Jimmy Kimmel, That's right,
who David Letterman? No, I mean somebody who's never been
a talker?

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Yeah, probably someone younger.

Speaker 5 (03:15):
Okay, I'm just trying to think. I don't know who.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Jimmy Kimmel says that ABC made a mistake choosing him
instead of John Stewart to host Jimmy Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Oh I guess ABC execs were almost ready to sign
on the dotted line for John Stewart.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
But then Jimmy Kimmel was cheaper, and you.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Know he was just DJ. That's why he was cheaper.
He worked in radio. Yeah, so there you go. Now
you know the rest of the story. Shout out to
a couple of members of our team from the roll call.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yeah, Kathy from Dina, this is Happy Friday. She's at
home today, feeling a little under the weather. Who if
you feel better? Someone said, I'm checking in from all

time for us to start giving away free food thanks

up now eight hundred three two one thirty six ninety three.
We want to give one to someone who really deserves
it this hour, so make it good. We want to
hear about you know, what's going on in your world?
All right, now, let's check on real time traffic. What
is going on here, Bethany, Oh, not much.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
There's some latelift roadwork on College Drive at fifty.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Because Jack says yes, and Portband Auto Group at Jack
says yes.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Dot com Yeah, all right, let's go to the lines
here this morning, we're kicking off wpoc's Free Food Friday.
It's all brought to you by Safeway. And Mike, is
this about you?

Speaker 5 (05:33):
Said? This is not about you?

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Huh No, it's not about me. It's about my wife.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
Well, tell me what's going on.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
So she works for the federal government and we live
in like the Greater Baltimore County area, and she travels
to Virginia DC, Virginia every day. And she works for
the federal government, like I said, And she didn't find
out that she wouldn't be working one day until she
actually arrived at work an hour.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
And a half away. And on top of that, she.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Had worked the previous you know year in full, the
previous two weeks she was supposed to get paid and
she still hasn't gotten paid. And that was a month ago,
for the previous two weeks that she was supposed to
get paid. The day she showed up for work and
found out that she had been furloughed, Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
And so and she was making this commute to work
back and forth for how long she been doing that?

Speaker 5 (06:30):
About fifteen years? Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Well listen and let me ask you this, do you
and what is your wife's first name? Do you want
to give it.

Speaker 5 (06:40):
That kind of Rose? All right? How long have you
and Rose been married?

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Luckily enough, twenty five years this December.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
Wow, you have such a young sounding voice.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
I'm surprised to hear that you must have gotten married
to you know, like in diapers.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
We were high school sweethearts.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
I'm forty five and she's forty four. Do you have
any children or is it just the two of you.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
We have adults, which you're out of the house, so gotcha.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
And and so without that paicheck from your wife coming in,
it's probably gotten pretty difficult, huh.

Speaker 6 (07:17):
It has because you know, obviously, as you know parents,
you know, even when your kids are gone, they have
their own sets of responsibilities, and you know you have
a little bit of the assumption of their responsibilities too,
so you always look at that caretaker and you know
you foresee their problems and there's always a responsibility to
worry about.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Well, we're gonna give you one hundred dollars Safeway gift card.

Speaker 5 (07:40):
Which you can use.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
I know it's not going to fix all the problems,
but it'll least help out things for you and Rose,
and we wish her the best of luck getting back
on her feet. And hopefully you can all figure it
out soon and it all gets settled and you know,
we can solve this problem.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
But we hope that helps all right. Thank you, Oh
my gosh, that means so much. Thank you, Thank you
very much.

Speaker 1 (08:02):

dollars Safeway gift card for wpoc's free Food Friday.

You don't know like you own music Road.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Well, yesterday I told you that Jelly Roll confessed to infidelity.
Today Bunny Xo is clapping back at the internet, just
days after her husband revealed this. He was on a
podcast earlier this week and he talked about cheating on
Bunny Xo back in twenty eighteen. Well, a lot of
people say they don't understand why jelly Roll and Bunny

(08:52):
Xo were able to make up. I mean, come on,
first off, isn't it their business? But Bunny Xo easily
explained why she chose to stay by her man. She
said quote growth is now weakness and went on to
say it actually takes a stronger woman to face pain
head on, do the work and rebuild with the man

(09:13):
she loves instead of running or gossiping. Those words from
Bunny Xo, and that is your Music City Minute.
