Speaker 1 (00:00):
Some mornings, it's tough to remember to take everything with
you out the door, your lunch, your security badge, whatever
you need to get in at work. The other mornings,
everything just seems to click. You know what the difference
is those slow mornings you probably missed ninety three point
one WPOC The Michael j Morning Show. Hope you can

(00:20):
join us every morning, but if you do happen to
miss anything, maybe you can catch it here on our podcast.
Thanks for checking in, follow, like, share, and keep listening.
Ninety three point one WPOC, Hey, Ospan, I'm with you.
I think the Orioles got robbed yesterday. Their baseline. No,

(00:41):
their guy can run out of the baseline and he's
not called out. But when we do it, we are
and they win. That's not fair. You are pop culture,
you're protein boost. It's the brief on ninety three point
one WPOC.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, that hurts all right.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
As far as the brief, a Baltimore County believe officer,
an armed person, and a bystander were all struck in
an exchange of gunfire yesterday morning on a trailer in
Pikesville County. Police seat officers were called around eight point
fifty to a Trail off Milford Mill Road for a
suspicious person incident and an indecent exposure report. One officer
was hit in the upper body and taken to Shock

(01:18):
trauma by a Maryland State Police helicopter. The officer was
in the intensive care unit in critical condition and stable
while undergoing care. The armed person, who was also injured,
was taken to a hospital. The suspect was in fair
condition and was stable. A twenty two year old man
who was shown and killed Friday afternoon near the Towson
Circle has been identified as a Towson University student. It

(01:39):
all happened around three twenty in the afternoon on Friday.
Police received reports of his shooting along York Road before
the traffic circle, involving two vehicles traveling northbound. The victim
was taken to a local hospital, where he was later
pronounced dead. He was driving a Kiah with no passengers inside.
The suspect was also the only occupant of their vehicle

(02:00):
and was seen continuing northbound after the shooting. Homicide detectives
are reviewing evidence and pursuing leads as they work to
identify and locate the suspect. Police have not ruled out
if the shooting was brought on by road rage. One
person was john in Narndou County last night. It happened
around seven o'clock. Police responded to Washington Boulevard and Hailthorpe
for an individual who'd been shot, but once there, police

(02:22):
said the victim informed them that the shooting actually occurred
in and Rondo County. So now and Aroundo County police
are investigating this incident.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
That is your brief. And thinking about that story on
York Road all week and long, and I'm like, how
can there be road rage? Going northbound on York Road
into the path into the circle. I'm like, you're passing subway,
You're passing like all those places along there.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
I was driving down that road this morning. Okay, how
could it?

Speaker 1 (02:47):
What the heck is it? The library? I mean, like,
what is there to get upset about? Yeah, there was
going to be a girl's trip to Nashville and the listen,
the ladies want to go to Nashville. And you want
to know why they want to go to Nashville because
one of your favorite country stars was bartending at his
bar on Broadway. I'm going to tell you all about

(03:07):
it on the Music City Minute coming up in two
and a half minutes. You'll never believe which country star
was bartending. Yeah, the ladies are gonna want to go
for sure. Now, how much going on? Megan Maroney joins
us in ten minutes right after seven thirty.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
Michael J's Music City minutes in sixty seconds.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
You don't know like you own music row, Candace. I
want you to follow along. Here are your girlfriends going
to be planning a trip to Nashville after they hear this. Okay,
guess who was spotted at CMA Fest bartending at Luke
Bryan's bar, Luke thirty two Bridge. That's right, Luke Brian

(03:46):
was bartending. The women were losing their mind.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Oh my gosh, can you imagine how many roads deep
it was?

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Oh my d Yeah, he was in there. He's like,
what do you need? You need orange crush on? I gotcha.
Videos are all over social media showing Luke Brian serving
drinks and interacting with excited customers, and I'll bet every
one of them's a woman. The singer later took to
the stage to sing along with the band, delighting fans

(04:14):
with covers of popular songs from Luke Bryan. Luke's thirty
two Bridge, located in the heart of Music City, is
a popular entertainment venue. Well now it's going to be
really popular because you know, if he's showing up. Bartending
fans praised Luke Brian's spontaneity and generosity and said he
was a lot of fun to talk to at the bar.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
I think I need to call out the beginning of
June next year, we'll lead on down CMA.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
There are two times outside of when they tour and
play in Nashville, there are two times during the year
that all the stars are there, or a lot of
them are, and this is this is one of them.
The other is during something called CRS Country Radio Seminar,
and that's like the end of February first to March,
so they can date. All right, we're gonna have this

(05:01):
story next hour. You're not gonna want to miss. Riley
Green will explain the emotional reason why he got his name. Riley. Oh,
he got some Megan Moroney news. We got back. I
can't believe they led us backstage, but they did.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
They did, And it was Friday night, right before the show.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
And let me just set the scene back walking backstage
to the dressing.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Room area where do you think about all that?

Speaker 3 (05:24):
I loved every second it because it was pink and
mice and near it listening.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
She has all these VIP packages that I guess they
sell on the website, and there were girls partying everywhere.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
It was like what where am I and I kept?

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Then they had all these hearts that you could take
pictures in, and we were with the label people.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
I'm like, hold on, I need a picture right there.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
There, and the label and Dan, who's the label guy,
He's like, all right, just follow me. We're walking through
this room. You're not saying, because he knows me, I'll like,
I'll disappear off to the buffet. I'm like, ooh, the
food looks good in here.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
So we went straight backstage and met up with Meghan
or rest right.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
And so we got backstage. We're like, we wanted to
know from Megan if she had any time to do
anything in Baltimore.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
We got in this morning and I slept till noon, okay,
and then started getting ready shortly after that after I
sound check. So I haven't really explored and I heard
that our post show meal is not a Baltimore stable,
So do you have any recommendations.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Steaing Crabs Italy crab cakes great. Okay, So for people
who wonder, what is a day on tour with Megan
like just a.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Well, usually I get up and I work out and stuff.

Speaker 5 (06:36):
But it was a rough, bumpy ride from Chicago, so
I didn't sleep very well until we got here and
then I was able to get you know, three hours
of sleep or something once the bus stopped. But yeah,
so today slept in for a while. I've got my
dog on.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Tour with me, so just usually hang out with her.

Speaker 5 (06:57):
I eat breakfast, I sound check, hang out, I doom scroll.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
What else do we do? We do fun things. We're
doing something fun after the show tonight.

Speaker 5 (07:08):
Have you seen that trend where like you wear a
trash bag and they throw drinks at you and you
guess what I'm doing the show?

Speaker 1 (07:15):
So yeah, wow, depends on the day. But we asked
her what is it like to walk out to a
sea of pink?

Speaker 4 (07:22):
It's really mind blowing, honestly, you know.

Speaker 5 (07:24):
I come up from the stage and for like ten
seconds probably ish, I just like am looking at the
crowd and I felt like I blinked. Everything was just blue,
Like I was so amazed that everyone like understood the assignment, yeah,
the unspoken dress code. And then everything is blue and
now everything's pink. So it's very I fancy the best

(07:47):
and it's really cool to see Cannis.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
They were singing every word every song.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah yea, and not just singing like screaming, singing, you know.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
We also asked her what advice she has for anybody
who just wants to break into the industry.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
I would say, write your own songs.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
If you can write several songs by yourself, it definitely
puts you in a better place than you get to
co write with other songwriters.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
And coming into the room with like a unique perspective.

Speaker 5 (08:15):
And it's honestly a mental thing too, Like just knowing
that you can complete a song by yourself definitely gives
you the confidence. And then I would say post it online.
I feel like social media is such a tool that
we didn't always have to be able to promote ourselves,
and that's kind of how I built my fan base.
I would post songs and see if they liked it.
I remember I did that with Tennessee Orange. I posted

(08:37):
as me playing it like March twenty twenty two, and
then I ended up putting it out in September and
now here we are.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Yeah, So I would just say people, old.

Speaker 5 (08:46):
Go for it, post about it, write your own songs,
commit to.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
X stage with Megan Maroney. This just this past Friday night.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
And so I was like, you know, they asked us
to come up with questions and send it over prior,
and so I said, we Well.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
I asked her.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
For a few tips to look like Megan Maroney, so
she shared them with them.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
What do you need to know?

Speaker 5 (09:08):
You need the white boots. I think the white cowgirl boots.
Probably some sort of dress that you feel really pretty in.
It's probably pink, but it also might be green or blue,
could be depending on the mood.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
You know.

Speaker 5 (09:22):
If you want to be even more like me, some
fake hair, it's a.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
I'm totally this is a real yeah. Anything that makes
you feel a little bit over the top.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Brainstorming behind the scenes for the Van Perry coming tomorrow
at what's seven thirty thirty.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
They're going to be with us tomorrow morning.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
We're going to introduce Baltimore to the Van Perry, and
we're going to introduce the Van Perry to Baltimore, and
that way you are pop culture protein boost it's the
brief on ninety three point one POC.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Shooting in Towson on Friday unfortunately led to the death
of a twenty two year old Towson student. Baltimore Police
were called to the scene around three o'clock in the
afternoon on Friday. One person did die from that and
we did learn that it was a twenty two year old.
We will continue to monitor the situation as Baltimore County
Police continue to investigate that as well. And Anarondo County

(10:23):
is shooting happened last night around seven o'clock. Police were
called to the scene in Hailthorpe, but then they were
told that the actual shooting happened in and around the county.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
The investigation does continue. I'm Kendes just told him that
to Bree.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
And we know you're going to hear about Riley Green.
And I know the ladies have a thing for Michael
Jay's music. City minute in sixty seconds. You don't know,
like you own music grow And this is that mustache
is growing on, isn't it? No, no, not, You're at
ninety three point one, Doc Riley Green. You know he's

(10:55):
become very famous. He's got his own music. He did
a lot with Ella.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Oh yeah, well.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
He now says his legal first name is Jonathan Jonathan.
He says he's always preferred to go by Riley instead.
The name has a special significance in his family, stemming
from a story about his great grandfather who dealt with dementia.
Riley Green is close to his family, including his parents,

(11:23):
whom he surprised with a new camper for Christmas. Pretty nice, right.
While he thinks about becoming a father one day, Riley
Green acknowledges that he wants to wait for a sense
of normalcy in his life before starting your family. I'm
going to tell you something, Riley, normalcy is not going
to come anytime soon. You are a country singer. There's

(11:45):
nothing normal about what you live in.

Speaker 5 (11:47):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
All right, So the other big story, Morgan Wallen was
in Pittsburgh. He had back to back nights of shows scheduled.
They canceled the Saturday night show, he says, because of weather.
A lot of folks were upset because the weather never came.
The night before, there was a video that you can
clearly see a fan was being videoed by a security

(12:09):
guard in front of the stage. And I don't know
why Morgan didn't like it. Maybe he was upset that
the security guard was doing the video shoot. I don't know.
Maybe it's like you should be doing your job, not
taking a picture. I don't know. But Morgan grabbed the
phone and threw it and not back to the person
you owned the phone, no, across to the other side.

(12:30):
So I'm wondering maybe we should do ten calls, says
it all. We'll open the lineup right now eight hundred
three two one thirty six ninety three. We all love Morgan,
but if he tosses your phone, would you be happy
or mad? Happy or mad? That's your choice.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
I don't they didn't find their phone, I mean it's gone.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Yeah, But would you be happy or mad about it?
I mean you'd be furious. Oh yeah, you think it'll
be ten mads? Yeah, all right, Well let's find out.
I know it sounds like a stupid quiet, but I'm
ready to ask, because if Morgan Wallin's like smashed your phone,
you would be able to take it into the Verizon
or whatever and say, hey, I need a new phone.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
But yeah, but you've got to be able to find
your phone in front of thousands of people.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
But Morgan Wallins smash my phone. You would have like
you down that story forever.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
You know, I just want my phone right eight hundred

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Three two one thirty six ninety three Would you be
happy or make
