he's safe. Yeah, but a lot of the area is
two hours late. Where was it, Harford that is uh
is closed completely? All right? Yeah, well that's what's happening
with schools.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
The roads are messy. Be safe out there, give yourself
extra time. Slow down. Uh, it's gonna be okay. We'd
like you to get there safely.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Hey, today's Giving Tuesday.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
So as you were, you know, thinking about your end
of the year suation. If you've got a couple of
extra dollars, find a nonprofit to give some money to.
And if you can't give money, maybe sign up to
volunteer somewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Okay. The Orioles have a new guy, Ryan Helsley.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Meanwhile, Brandon Hyde has joined the Rays as a front
office advisor. Apple's head AI executive is leaving the company,
which is awkward. Apple is behind in the AI race
and you know, so this guy has been replaced. Costco

the tariff money that they spent. Oh the Giants, So
they lost last night Monday light night football.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
They didn't just lose The kicker.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
Young ho who miffed the football last night. The viral
video is pretty sad and funny.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
At the same time. He's trying to kick a field
goal to try to catch you up before half time,
which is literally his only job. Yeah, and he comes
down and one, I guess he took his eye off
the ball, and well, in the honor of Charlie Brown
kicking a football, he plants his cleat into the turf
at least three feet before the ball and just I

(02:18):
mean he has to have turf. Yeah, he slams his
foot into the ground, not even close to the ball,
completely misses the place kickers like, what do I do now?
So he picks the ball up and he's got a
run because it's a live football, and he gets sacked.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
Of course, he gets tackled. Yeah, the video is funny.
And then the quarterback in slowo was like, oh my God, God,
and it's just sad because it's like the whole Giant
season is just dark.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Was like, this is a mess. Oh funny, Okay.

gonna sell.

Speaker 1 (03:01):

Speaker 4 (03:02):
It combines the flavors of a regular pineapple, there's the
hints of coconut. It's been in development for fifteen years
and they finally have it ready, you know.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
To sell. Now, are they using some strange chemicals that
we're gonna come back later? And sure? They just like
they had to breed it, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
Right somehow, Yeah, okay, but I don't I don't know
if they use chemicals for that, but I don't know how.

Speaker 1 (03:23):

Rain?

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Sleek snow We hear as you get up towards York
in Central PA. It's certainly sticking up there Carroll County.
It has been sticking in areas, but as you come
down it turns to a mix of wintery precipitation and
then it turns over to rain. That's pretty much what
it's going to be for all of us all day.

(08:16):
That's hard to drive in. Yeah, So because of that,
the schools are running late. We do know Harford County
is closed and as a result, a number of other
schools now are calling in that they're going to be
closed as well. So you'll have to check your individual
school and good luck. And I'm sure if you're a kid,
you're probably trying to find some way to get hold

(08:36):
of the office number. We're closed today.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Ninety three point one WPOC traffic.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Maybe you always want to do that when you were
a kid, you wanted to close the schools down. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
Eight ninety five south bound between O'donnald Street and the
Harbor Tunnel is starting to stack up. Hope Road northbound
or I'm sorry eastbound and westbound at Hayden Road closed
for utility work. We're still dealing with with a detour
onto Riverside Parkway forty eastbound. It looks like that's still
closed due to an earlier accident. We've got an accident

(09:11):
on East Chase Street between Green Fountain Falls Way and
accident on one hundred westbound at meadow Ridge Road and
one on ninety five south at Waterloo. That's three vehicles
involved there. That could be a situation if that doesn't
get cleaned up soon.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
All right, now that we got this no information out
of the way.

Jay's Toy Mountain to help out WPOC family. Let's get
together and do this. We're accepting donations of toys in
person and money virtually that goes directly to benefit in

(11:43):
Michael J. Bethany, I really need your help on this one.
I'm scared, I really do okay, because we have earning questions.
This all started yesterday morning here on ninety three point
one WPOC, when I think I think it was Wendy.
If I have the name wrong, I'm sorry, but I'm
pretty sure it was Wendy. She wanted to know.

Speaker 7 (12:04):
Why do our stop lights? Why do they have yellow?
When you can just start and stop?

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Why do they have a yellow? So she wants to
know why there's a yellow in the middle. You might
think you've got the answer, but we have the actual answer.
And it dawned on us, Bethanie and I that we
all might have a burning question. So if there's something
that's in your mind every day you're driving to work,

(12:30):
you're passing the same building, the same thing, whatever it is,
and you always wonder.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Whoa what is that?

Speaker 2 (12:35):
You know? Why is that? Yeah? Why don't you let
us know about it? Seven seven nine six'. Two you
can text and give us your name so we, know
or you can call eight hundred three two one thirty,
six ninety. Three so we have the answer For wendy's.
Question she wants to know why there's the, Yellow, well
did you know? What you apparently didn't. Know the, red,

(12:56):
yellow and green traffic light system was invented by A
detroit police officer Named William potts in nineteen. Twenty he
actual they had the red green lights before. That it
would go right from red to green and green to,
red and they had some sort of a buzzer that
you would. HEAR i don't know what people are driving
before nineteen, twenty but you'd hear, it, eh and then

(13:19):
that would mean you better slow down because it's about
to turn and. Whatever so he's, like this is. Dopey
we need to do something that's more. Effective So William,
potts A detroit police, officer said we should put a
yellow light in the, middle and by the mid thirties
that new system was standardized. Everywhere the very first red
yellow green light was installed at the intersection Of Woodward

(13:41):
avenue And Fort street In. Detroit that's Downtown detroit in
the nineteen. Thirties looks like they invented, it and it
took them a while to get it all figured. Out
get the. Wiring, yeah things are. Different, yeah so there you.
Go there's the answers so that you know that you
don't have to hear a buzzer for one. Thing it's
a warning exactly to slow down or prepare to. Stop right,
Right well that's the first burning. Question, okay we have

(14:04):
other burning questions coming. In all, right all, right here's another. One,
Michael jay And. BETHANY i want to know where are
the cops when the crotch rockets are flying? Through that's
a legitimate. Question have you ever been on The beltway
like BY i, KNOW i see it a lot on
the west. Side you'll see the crotch rockets guys doing
uh you. Know and there's two types of. Motorcycles you

(14:27):
got the you got the, cruisers and you got the crowd.
Rockets those are the you know the, yeah oh, yeah
we know they're really super. Fast we. Go i've seen
them on you, know one wheel doing wheelies around the. Beltway,
anyway here's the. Answer cops may be tracking the motorcyclist
using methods that don't involve a speed car, chase such as, cameras,

(14:48):
drones helicopters to get the description and license plate. Number
to issue a citation. Later just because you don't see
them being pulled over doesn't mean they're not being. Followed
are we supposed to believe the real being? ONE i
do not believe.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
It. Yeah and if they do get a citation in the,
mill most people are, LIKE i need to pay that.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Exactly in other cases they say they may initially chase
the bikes but then break off because it's too dangerous
for public. SAFETY i would agree with. That anybody that
drives like that on a motorcycles a.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
NUT i did in a highly satisfying. Moment see one
of the one of the dodger and. Weavers, yeah, yeah
pulled over recently and it makes you feel. Good it was, like,
yeah because they're NEVER i feel like the cop is
never there when right when that thing is.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Happening? Vindication all? Right why here's another question that just
came In Burning questions and we want yours tax seven
seven nine sixty, two start With arika or call eight
hundred and three two one thirty six ninety. Three here's
another question we just Got Bethany MICHAEL j And, Bethany
why does that person have a mask on if they're
in the car by. Themselves. MMM i have not yet

(15:58):
found an answer for that.

Speaker 4 (15:59):
Question they could be an uber. Driver, maybe oh there you.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Go maybe they're gonna be picking passengers. Up, yeah and
maybe they just don't want to be taking it. On
and you know WHAT i, mean the more you fondle
with it and you're messing with that, mask maybe you're.
Not you're incorporating your car smells. Man, yeah did you
ever stop and think of? That maybe they have pets
and it was an. ACCIDENT i don't, know but we'll

(16:24):
look into. That For brandy who wanted to know about
why people ride around in the car by themselves with?
Masks what is your burning? Question all, right your burning?
Question that's what we want to know. About what is
it that you think about when you're in the?

Speaker 4 (16:40):
Car someone, said what DOES qr mean IN qr?

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Code you? Know that's really? GOOD i don't know they
let mean look that one. Up it means quick. Response oh,
wow look at. That, yeah that's what THE qr. Means
see a burning. Question someone, wondered how about this? One
why DO i remember embarrassing things from ten years ago
only While i'm driving at seventy five miles an? Hour?

(17:06):
Okay why DO i? Drive, Okay so here's the. Answer
the answer is the brain stores embarrassing moments to help
you from making that same mistake, again and the brain
stores it more vividly than normal memories because it's associated
with an embarrassing. Moment, ah so it's stored as like

(17:28):
a special. Memory but here's the bigger. Question all, right
why is she only thinking of this when she's going
seventy five miles an? Hour she's about to make another?
Mistake BUT i don't. Know, apparently when this woman is
driving seventy five miles an, hour vivid memories come back
from ten years.

Speaker 4 (17:45):
AGO i happen to wonder if it's not that. Hypnosis
oh you think that's what it?

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Is?

Speaker 4 (17:51):
Like oh you know how they have that driving hypnosis
that you ever pull into your driveway and you're, like
how DID i get?

Speaker 10 (17:58):
Here?

Speaker 4 (17:58):
Right it's because they say that THE i don't know
if this is true or, not but they say, that
like the lines on the road and the repetitiveness of
driving like puts you into this like hypnotic. State and
Then i'm wondering if you can access some.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Memories, wow especially during routine tasks like, driving your brain
might be on. Autopilot that's what it's. Called what you're talking. About,
yeah you go into an evolutionary. Autopilot, yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:22):
Huh how about this? One how do people graffiti tall
buildings and other things without falling or?

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Dying you? KNOW i have had that same burning. Question,
yeah and you seem like on the backside of billboards
they can climb up, There BUT i would think that
a lot of those would be locked up by the.
Underpass they're, everywhere especially driving down THE. Jfx how do
they have to go to the highest. Spot i'm, Like
i'd be choosing the easiest down there on the side

(18:49):

Speaker 2 (20:41):
THEN i can't wait till. Then burning questions this morning
With MICHAEL j And bethany a ninety three point ONE.
Wpoc how do graffiti artists hit the high spots without

(21:05):
falling or? Dying is the, question, Hey. Bethany graffiti artists
access tall structures using various, methods including climbing gear for, safety, ladders.
Scaffolding how can you in the middle of the. Night
they put scaffolding, up sometimes even grappling. Hooks they carefully
plan their, route rely on their skills to avoid. Fear

(21:27):
i'd be, like, heck, No i'm getting down from, here
and may use long handled rollers to paint from a.
Distance see that's the way you do it from the,
ground maybe with THE i don't. Know the highs of
them are very. SKILLED i know they. Are the high
risk locations known as heaven, spots are often chosen because
the danger makes them less likely to be painted, over

(21:48):
and they bring the artist a sense of achievement and
respect within the graffiti. Community good, Morning MICHAEL. J.

Speaker 7 (21:55):
BASIDI i have a burning.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
Question you don't happen to be a graffiti artist by any,
chance you, now because we were just trying to answer
the Other the other person's burning question was how is
it that people are able to graffiti tops of tall
buildings and signs up in the air without falling or?
Dying and we just found. Out, yeah it's a good, question,

(22:17):
right you see them all over the. Place it is
a very good. Question what's your burning? Question?

Speaker 7 (22:23):
Okay my burning question is and nobody seems to have an.
Answer when you have a pair of, pants why is
it called a pair of pants if it's done?

Speaker 2 (22:33):
One CAN i answer? THAT i know the. Answer, yes
it's because a pant is actually half of your. Pants
in other, words a pant is one leg. Pantaloon, yeah. Pantaloon,
thatt your. Pantaloon so your pant is one leg and

(22:53):
then you've got a pair of, pants unless unless you
don't need two. Legs you, know some people might.

Speaker 7 (22:58):
Not but well people always, say, well there's two, legs.
Right your shirt is not a pair of shirts that
has two.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Sleeves, yeah, well because that's because your arms are different
than your. Legs so, pants if you start putting pants
on your, arms you're gonna look on a. Goofy in other,
words a pant is this, straight long thing that you
stick your leg. In my, understanding are you with me on, This? Bethany, No.

Speaker 7 (23:33):
Like you're making it.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
UP i could talk my way out of. Anything. No
pants is a type of word called a plural, tantum
which IS i don't, know it's like, scissors a pair of,
scissors same, thing or. Trousers so that answers, that doesn't.

Speaker 4 (23:49):
It somebody said you can go anywhere with a utility vest, ON.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
I, think meaning like if you just.

Speaker 4 (23:59):
Look like like the like the uh the louver heist, People,
oh he looks like utility.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Workers so nobody questioned.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
Them so perhaps the graffiti artists just look like they're
doing some work on the, bridge and nobody questions them because.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
You don't usually stop a worker and be, like what
exactly are you? Doing that's.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
True you would just assume that they're like, doing they're
doing something important. That'sportant and then the next thing you,
know we got a big old. Graffiti that's probably. True
and one final burning question right?

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Now all?

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Right why AM i scared to make eye contact with
people in the car next to? Me it's a, wild
a wild feeling THAT i. Get i'm afraid to make
