The government shut downs stretched into day six yesterday with
no clear resolution in sight. The Senate once again failed
to pass either of the measures to fund the government
after the bills fell short of sixty votes for a
fourth time. On Friday, Mike john And canceled plans for
the House to return to Washington this week, saying that
the House already did its job by.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Passing the funding bill.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries challenged Johnson to a debate
on the House floor to be broadcast live on American television,
but Johnson declined the debate, saying that the Democrats are
making desperate pleas for attention and accuse them of creating
a red herring by picking a fight on healthcare.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
One of the interesting symptoms of the shutdown is.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
The air traffic control situation. Air traffic controllers have to
work even through the shutdown. Yes, they don't get paid,
but they're guaranteed back pay once the funding is restored.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
What do you say to your mortgage company? You know
what I mean, like, eventually paycheck's got a cop.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
They've been calling in sick, the air traffic controllers. I
think that's interesting. But some of the politicians. As politicians
continue to get paid through the shutdown, some of them
are asking to halt their paychecks as well.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
They should send him to the FAA and everybody that
needs them.
Speaker 6 (03:06):

He but he's getting a lot of you know, buzz
(03:46):
and praise for the role. Diddy's lawyers are seeking a
pardon from Trump and if they don't get it, then
they're hoping that he'll get a cakey prison placement in
New Jersey. And it was Travis Kelsey's birthday on Sunday.

his parents and they all dressed up like showgirls. Here's

I was just reading about Zach Brown his proposal.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
You might have heard earlier in the summer.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
He proposed to designer Kendri Scott, and I guess it
was quite an elaborate proposal.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Bethany, you got to hear about this.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
It included dozens of elephants, birds, hippos.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Okay, yeah, I don't know how he arranged all this.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
He said they were on a river and on a
barge with thirty elephants on the bank and the sun
setting and birds flying over and hippos in the water.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Were they on a safari? I don't know. It sounds
kind of cool.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
He tried to set it up because he wanted it
to be an exotic proposal.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
He said he did a good job. It sounds like it.
I don't know how you pull that all off. All right.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Well, there's quite a bit going on in country music
news this morning. They just announced some of the performers
that are going to be playing on New Year's Eve.
And I know that sounds crazy to talk about, but
you know, it's eighty five days left in the year.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
So anyway, they announced Jason al Dean and Laney Wilson
are the first two performers that have been released for
Nashville's Big Bash.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
That was really fun. Do you watch TV on New
Year's Eve? It depends on what I mean sometimes yeah, yeah,
what the deal is?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Used to watch the ball drop? But it's always a
big party in Nashville. So Laney and Jason have been added,
and so is Bailey Zimmerman. He'll be performing as well.
The other big country news. There's something called the r
iaa Recording Industry Association of America, and they keep track
(08:04):
of sales of all the record sales, all the streams,
all the downloads, all the if you have music and
you know that you own, they've added it up. So
they used to just add up record sales, just like
if you went to a store bought a CD.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
At that point, Garth Brooks did pretty well. I mean,
he had what sixty some million copies sold, But along
comes Luke Combs. But Beth and you pointed this out.
I think you're accurate about this. It's a different day.
Streaming exists, as you know now, but Garth Garth was
never streamed really the same way.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Well, he kept his music off streaming services for a while,
like out of protests.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Yeah, so it's not really apples to apples, but they
just announced this. So here's Garth with his sixty two
point five.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Million units sold over here.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Luke Holmes was just announced one hundred sixty eight million
units right now, that includes streaming.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
But that just blows away all the records. Lucas so quietly,
wildly successful. Yeah, it's it's amazing, Like.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
He's not like big and showy and like controversial or
anything like that, but he's just really successful.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Well, he's now officially the highest certified country artist in
the history of the world.
Speaker 1 (09:29):

Speaker 5 (09:58):
The best hashtag purple and Tiltey shutting down.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Is all right? Well badly.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Zimmerman was saying, Bethany is blowing my mind. I hear
at ninety three point one w POC. We were talking
about the perks that your spouse brings to your relationship, right.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I was trying to think of what perk my wife.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Well, she works with the state and she's involved somehow
with the easy pass, so I have to pay like
anybody else. But she explained it to me, so that
was she was like, no, don't just lay it on
your dash. You got to put it up on the
on the front window so that it actually gets red.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Okay, yeah, I just you know.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
You don't even get a free easy no, no, no,
believe me, believe me. Oh, and you have no idea.
I'll tell you something full transparency. Uh at the end
of the year. Well, we have to do this too.
We have to reveal, we we have to be we
have to be ethical. For one thing and we all
should be ethical, right, Well, no, yes, you're right. No,
(11:13):
but you you know, we have to fill out forms
that we sign Affi davits that we don't get any
money on the side or we're not pimping any other
companies or whatever. Well she has to do the same
thing working for the state of Maryland, you know, and
especially with a husband that works in radio, they're always like, well,
what's this all about? And you have to you know,
(11:33):
you have to tell them everything. I mean, we don't
have anything to hide, but it's just that, you know,
you have to reveal everything. So that's the perk. I
guess that doesn't sound no, it's not, it's not.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Someone on tech said, my husband is a chef, so
all of our meals are presented and amazing.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Ah, oh, you know it sounds die because the way
the food is presented on the plate in fine dining
not anybody.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
You just don't slop it on there. And I think
it tastes better when it's presented.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
And you've got like maybe they paint the plate sometimes,
you know, chefs do that little shmear.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Oh they have a whole thing.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
Someone said, my husband's a plumber and We've been able
to complete numerous household projects and visions with only spending
money on materials. Also, I may or may not have
clogged the sink multiple times, and I've saved so much
money over plus plumber.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
BT does that come up around her house? She probably
enjoys that.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Oh okay, yeah, So what is your perk in your relationship?
Do you have? Do you have some benefit? You know
you always say friends with benefits? What about a spouse
with a benefit because they.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Bring home or perk. Maybe it's like free staples or
something from the supply closet. Oh yeah, I don't think there.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
You know, you'd have to put that on the full
disclosure thing at the end of the year around here,
and you.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Know seven seven nine six do begin your message with higher.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Hey, we can't wait to hear from you. Eight hundred
and three two one thirty six ninety three.
Speaker 2 (13:03):

tequila with her, don't know how he's moving a.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Ninety three point one WPOC Michael j and Bethany to
the lines.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
We go, Hi, God, morning, this is Brook. How are
y'all doing this morning?
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Good Brook? So is there some perk that you get
out of your relationship.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
Yes, sir, my husband's a police officer, so his friends
casually drive by hang out at the end of the driveway.
I don't know if our neighbors know he's an officer.
I think our neighbors think we have problems going on,
but I, hey, it's extra security, right.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
You always have a cup car in your driveway.
Speaker 7 (13:59):
Yes, and his friends just casually come by and sit
and talk to him for thirty minutes an hour. And
I don't think her neighbors know my husband's all the
search because she likes I'm not slashing it, you know,
but right right, people probably drop by and be like, wow,
they're into another fight again, and I'm just chilling on
the couch and enjoying watch and love is fine.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
You know, that's funny. And also sometimes do you get
to use the handcuffs? Does he ever use the handcuffs?
Speaker 7 (14:28):
We're going to keep that on down low.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Yeah, I wonder if he can use company, uh, you know, equipment.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
Someone on the text said, my wife is a pediatrician
and she's really made being a new parent less stressful.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
All our neighbors with kids get to share that perk.
As well.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
The plumber's wife checked back in. She says he doesn't
have a plumber's crack, but he does have a nice butt.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I said, plumber's butt. I never used for crack.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Someone said, my spouse works at college, I take classes
for free. My husband's job has two perks, free crabs
at the company picnic every quarter and discounts on HVAC work. Oh,
that's which can be expensive. Absolutely, my hobby owns an
auto servicing shop. No car maintenance bills is a nice perk.
Uh huh, my cousin. My husband is handy in so
many ways around the house. One thing we were able
(15:20):
to save on was a crip for our daughter. He
designed and built the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Impressive. That's like a generational gift.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Yes, So what about you, what's your relationship perk seven
to seven ninety six too?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Or get on the phone line.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Well, just this morning, Luke Comb's was certified the greatest
selling country artist in the history of the recording industry.
Bethanyso hmm, big shout out. That is his one of
his newer hits, Back in the Saddle Michael Jay and Bethany.
This all started because Matt called up one tickets for Jing.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
He's an Uber driver.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
He was driving his wife Amy to her dental practice
job in Towsond and we started wondering, well, what other
perks are they're out there that you know, married couples
or spouses or better halves?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
What do you get to enjoy? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (16:17):
Someone said, my husband's a photographer, so I get the
best pictures. Someone said, shout out to all the teacher
with summers off, saving family costs on childcare. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Yeah, but you know what, a lot of teachers can't
afford to take the summer off because they're not paid
well enough, right, so they end up working, you know,
summer jobs.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Right right.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Someone said, I'm a hairstylist, so my family gets free haircuts, updues, colors,
whatever they would like.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
That's really nice. That is nice. You don't have to
do that, and that's nice of you to do that. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
And then someone said, my husband's in the car electronic field,
so if there's anything aftermarket I want, I just ask
one of his shops will put it in for me,
and I get to demo any new products that are
coming on the market.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Hey, does that work for some friends who happened to
be on the radio, Michael, Jy and Bethany.
Speaker 2 (17:04):

all the stuff that was going on, sevent years and
a facing and all this other stuff. So when we

first time father than most because for years I've been
hearing about all this stuff. So I think that was

Yeah, he killed bubs. Well, at least you didn't have
any roaches to worry about, just him.
Speaker 4 (18:23):

attention and accuse them of creating a red herring by
picking a fight on healthcare. Diddy's lawyers are seeking a
pardon from Trump and if they don't get that, they're
hoping that he gets a cakey prison placement in New Jersey.
Trump mentioned that he was asked for the pardon but
