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. Other mornings, everything
just seems to click. You know what the difference is?
Those slow mornings you probably missed. 93.1 WPOC. The Michael J.
Morning Show. Hope you can join us every morning. But
(00:22):
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. 93.1 WPOC. We're 12 minutes away from
dealing with our purple passports, Ms.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Candace.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Cannot wait. Can we talk real quick about it?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Please, please go right ahead.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
All right. We've been getting questions that people want to
know if they need an actual passport in their hand.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
And the answer is yes. You need to have your passport.
In other words, you can't be saying, oh, I'm going
to go get a passport. Because when you win this,
we're talking about less than, what is it, a month away?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Not even a month.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
So you've got to be ready to go because it's
too last minute to go running to get one. Got
to have your passport in hand. We're going to ask
you that before we even begin.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Our little games. All right.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Right.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
And so, like, Woody the truck driver is out, and
he's driving around, and he's like, my passport is home
in my safe.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Oh, well, that's fine. Yeah, you don't have to have
your passport. You don't have to have it, like, on
your possession.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
You don't have to have it on you at the
time of the call, but you have to have a
valid passport.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
At the time of the call.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Right. Nobody from immigration is going to be on the
phone looking for you to go through anything. What we're
going to do is we're going to say, do you
have a passport?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
That's it. Right, Candace? We're going to keep it clean
and simple.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
All right.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
That's the first thing.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Second thing we want to do before we go any
further is check the phones. 800-321-3693 is the number you're
going to be calling. Can somebody please call right now?
And we'll just do a check, a mic check, a
telephone check. You know when you go to a concert
all day long and they're going, check one, check one,
check one, two, three, check. That's what we're doing. We're
getting ready. This is a big moment here. And we're
(02:14):
going to do that right after we check on the
Music City Minute.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Michael J's Music City Minute.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
In 60 seconds, you're going to know like you own
Music Row.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah, so while you're calling to check out your phone
line at 800-321-3693, Kenny Chesney dropped a surprise last night.
He's got a new song, and you're a huge Kenny fan, Candice.
I know you go.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
So, I've been... Checking his goldfish that he's been posting.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Leading up to the release of this.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, he's got a new song called Goldfish, and he
was obviously about six drinks in when they wrote it. Anyway,
that's a fun song. Until her last breath, this really
took my breath away. Even until her last breath, Dolly
Parton was focused on giving back to the world.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Stella, Dolly's sister, revealed.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
And it's being shared worldwide today that one of her
final acts of generosity, she told her sister and the
family that after conventional treatment, if there was no hope
for her, she would want her body given to science
and she would still allow medical teams to try any
experimental drugs they might have in hopes of saving others.
(03:29):
All this woman cared about. was unselfishly loving someone else.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
It's moving, isn't it? It's just.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
It's chilling.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
God bless her soul.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Garth Brooks has announced he plans to honor Dolly's legacy
on September 25th, which is 9-5-5 day. And he's going
to generate a lot of money, I'm sure, from his,
you know, tour stop and his Nashville bar. So he's
going to donate every cent on September 25th on Dolly
(04:03):
Day to the Imagination Library.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
That takes my breath away.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Um, let's go to the phone. We're doing a phone
check now. Good morning. 93.1 WPOC.
Speaker 2 (04:13):

Speaker 1 (04:35):
You know, this is funny because we do get the
honor of giving away.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Some great prizes.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
But in my history here and in our history as
your morning show, Michael Jay and Candace, this is the
biggest thing that's happened yet.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
And this is the biggest moment of it all.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
I've got to send her some pictures.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Listen to this.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
We've still got Iris on the phone here at 93.1 WPSC.
We're getting all our details, and we're getting everything squared away. Iris,
you are a hoot, so I understand you're a dentist,
and your daughter who's going with you is a psychologist.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
And what are you going to do in your building?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
She's at her practice right now. Is there anybody in
the chair that you're taking care of?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
No.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Huh? No.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
She's going nuts. I don't think her phone's going.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
To blow up.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Oh, no.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
She was so nervous she couldn't answer some of the questions.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I know. Iris, you're okay, though. It's all settled in
on you now.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
You're good.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
It's settled.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
We all eat cake.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
It's settled down. It's settled down.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Hey, everybody.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
She has gone crazy.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
All right, well, look, I want you to make us proud.
Take a lot of pictures, and we can't wait to
hear about it when you get back.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
All right?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Uh-huh.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Oh, my God. You're going to be the first.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
I'm going to take tons of pictures. I'm a picture taker.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I can't wait until I go to the game, and
I'm going to be going crazy. Are you guys going
to be in the game tonight? Tonight, yeah. You're the
one that gets to go to South America, though. Listen here.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Yeah, you're the big deal right here.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah, congratulations, Iris. I know, but I'm coming for you.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
I was like, I'm coming for you.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
All right, honey.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Well, I got a hug waiting for you, and we're
going to let you go. Our prize department will be
in touch with you. We're all set, all right?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I can't believe it.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
I love you both.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
My great-grandchildren. I love it.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
She wakes up with us every morning, she said. Iris,
thank you very much, dear. We're going to be in
touch with you.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
See you later.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Wow. And we love you, Iris, and your excitement for
the trip and for the purple and black.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Man, that was fun.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
All right, 93.1 WPOC, Michael J. and Candace.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
It is a three ring circus without a tent around here.
Let me, let me tell you one more time. Congratulations.
Congratulations to Irish, Iris Shields, Iris Shields.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
She is from Nottingham, Maryland. And boy, was she thrilled.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
To know that it was 600 and the total number
was 604.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Is that correct?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
That was the total jerseys.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
604.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
And it was, It was so cute that she was
so nervous when we were asking her her personal details, name,
phone number, all that.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
And she's like, hold on, I got to get myself together.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Because the reality is we were kind of nervous and
very excited for the whole.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Thing to go down anyway.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
So now that we've done that, we can get back
to our regularly scheduled hot seat. And we have something
very exciting if you're a KC Musgraves fan. So what
we're going to do is open up the lines again,
the ones that have already been ruled by Iris this morning.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
800-321-3693.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Ninth caller, and you get a seat in the hot seat.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
93.1 WPOC. DeeDee, am I saying your name right? DeeDee. Yes,
you are.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Perfect.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yes, you are.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Candace, say good morning to DeeDee. We got it.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Hey, Dee Dee.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Dee Dee, just out of curiosity, had you been playing
along for the Purple Passport, too? No, I haven't.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
As a matter of fact, I'm just sitting out on
my pier, and I'm crabbing, and I heard them say,
and I tried dialing, and I.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Candace, she's sitting on the dock of the bay.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
We're jealous.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Yeah, are you getting some big ones today? Well, I'll
tell you what.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Oh, my God. I'm catching them like crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Oh, my God. Where are you crabbing? Tell me where
you are. I'm coming over.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I'm down in Glen Burnie.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
All right.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
All right, we'll be there.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Yeah, I love crab, and there's nothing like it. And
how do you do it? Are you dipping, or do
you have a pot, or what do you have?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Well, I'm doing it by hand lines, hand lines off
the pier. Okay.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Keep burning in those big ones. Do you throw the
females back, or do you keep them?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
They're on the radio.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
You throw the females back? Oh, I keep them.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Hey, we're going to steam them up and have some
beer with them later on this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
We're going over.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Okay, so really, we're coming over.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, we're going over to see Dee Dee. It's Friday afternoon.
It's crab time, honey. All right, three questions. You got
to get them before the buzzer. You got three seconds,
so be snappy and happy. Here we go, Candace.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
All right. You know, we had the purple passport to.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
We had the purple passport to Rio and we've been
talking about the team, you know, the purple and black
team here.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
So we're, yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
So we were wondering who's your favorite football player from
that purple and black team.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Favorite football player. Three seconds. DD go.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
There you go. He's Lamar. He is Lamar. All right.
That's one down. Two more for her. Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
All right.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
What's your favorite thing about going to a game?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Favorite part of going to a football game, DeeDee.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Go.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Sitting there watching the game and drinking a cold beer.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
There you go. Now she's got it. All right. One
more for DeeDee. It's easy. Let's go.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
All right.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
You know, we've been talking about making memories with this
trip to Rio. We want to know what's your favorite
memory from going to a game here in Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Three seconds. Favorite memory, DeeDee, go.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
My favorite memory is that I had a blanket on
and it fell down behind the seat and I couldn't
get it.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Nothing stops Didi from cheering for the team.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Didi, you have just won tickets for Casey Musgraves. Congratulations.
September 5th, CFG Bank Arena. You're in the house. Thanks
to 93.1 WPOC. This has been the most up and
down emotional week. I think we've had in a long,
long time. We lost. We lost the immortal. We gave
(16:02):
away a trip for South America. We've learned so much
about each other. It's just been we've been doing good deeds.
Hashtag good deeds for Dolly. We've given away all sorts
of concert tickets. Have I left anything out so far?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I think I hit it all.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah, I think that's about it.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
But, you know, I think the biggest thing to come
out of this, you know, obviously we gave away one
of the biggest trips that we've ever given away personally.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
It was worth like almost 10 grand.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
And the other thing is to hear from our family
members here at WPOC, our loyal listeners, about the ways
that they've been paying it forward and doing good deeds.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
It's so inspiring.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
And a reminder, put this date on your calendar. nine
to five. I mean, obviously that is the Dolly Parton
anthem nine to five, right? So September 25th is coming
up and not only is Garth Brooks, he's inspired us.
Garth Brooks is going to be giving back at his
bar in Nashville. Every penny he makes is going to this,
(17:11):
this reading program that, that she started in 300 million
books were generated for kids.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
We'll do the same.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
We're going to do pay it forward a nine to
five in honor of Dolly Parton. So be here and
be a part of that. We're already planning. That is
four weeks from today, Candace. We are already looking forward
to it tonight. Let's go Ravens. It's the final, final
preseason game. It's just a warmup practice, but let's go guys.
(17:39):
It's all happening at M and T bank stadium tonight.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Be there. Be square.
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. Other mornings, everything
just seems to click. You know what the difference is?
Those slow mornings you probably missed. 93.1 WPOC. The Michael J.
Morning Show. Hope you can join us every morning. But
(00:22):
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. 93.1 WPOC. We're 12 minutes away from
dealing with our purple passports, Ms.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Candace.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Cannot wait. Can we talk real quick about it?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Please, please go right ahead.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
All right. We've been getting questions that people want to
know if they need an actual passport in their hand.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
And the answer is yes. You need to have your passport.
In other words, you can't be saying, oh, I'm going
to go get a passport. Because when you win this,
we're talking about less than, what is it, a month away?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Not even a month.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
So you've got to be ready to go because it's
too last minute to go running to get one. Got
to have your passport in hand. We're going to ask
you that before we even begin.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Our little games. All right.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Right.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
And so, like, Woody the truck driver is out, and
he's driving around, and he's like, my passport is home
in my safe.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Oh, well, that's fine. Yeah, you don't have to have
your passport. You don't have to have it, like, on
your possession.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
You don't have to have it on you at the
time of the call, but you have to have a
valid passport.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
At the time of the call.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Right. Nobody from immigration is going to be on the
phone looking for you to go through anything. What we're
going to do is we're going to say, do you
have a passport?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
That's it. Right, Candace? We're going to keep it clean
and simple.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
All right.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
That's the first thing.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Second thing we want to do before we go any
further is check the phones. 800-321-3693 is the number you're
going to be calling. Can somebody please call right now?
And we'll just do a check, a mic check, a
telephone check. You know when you go to a concert
all day long and they're going, check one, check one,
check one, two, three, check. That's what we're doing. We're
getting ready. This is a big moment here. And we're
(02:14):
going to do that right after we check on the
Music City Minute.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Michael J's Music City Minute.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
In 60 seconds, you're going to know like you own
Music Row.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah, so while you're calling to check out your phone
line at 800-321-3693, Kenny Chesney dropped a surprise last night.
He's got a new song, and you're a huge Kenny fan, Candice.
I know you go.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
So, I've been... Checking his goldfish that he's been posting.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Leading up to the release of this.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, he's got a new song called Goldfish, and he
was obviously about six drinks in when they wrote it. Anyway,
that's a fun song. Until her last breath, this really
took my breath away. Even until her last breath, Dolly
Parton was focused on giving back to the world.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Stella, Dolly's sister, revealed.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
And it's being shared worldwide today that one of her
final acts of generosity, she told her sister and the
family that after conventional treatment, if there was no hope
for her, she would want her body given to science
and she would still allow medical teams to try any
experimental drugs they might have in hopes of saving others.
(03:29):
All this woman cared about. was unselfishly loving someone else.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
It's moving, isn't it? It's just.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
It's chilling.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
God bless her soul.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Garth Brooks has announced he plans to honor Dolly's legacy
on September 25th, which is 9-5-5 day. And he's going
to generate a lot of money, I'm sure, from his,
you know, tour stop and his Nashville bar. So he's
going to donate every cent on September 25th on Dolly
(04:03):
Day to the Imagination Library.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
That takes my breath away.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Um, let's go to the phone. We're doing a phone
check now. Good morning. 93.1 WPOC.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Are you going to be ready at eight 30? We
are for sure. I'm so excited. Are you as excited
as we are? So excited. Passport in hand. All right,
there you go, honey. What's your first name? What's your,
what's your first name?

Speaker 2 (04:33):

Speaker 3 (04:34):

Speaker 1 (04:35):
You know, this is funny because we do get the
honor of giving away.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Some great prizes.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
But in my history here and in our history as
your morning show, Michael Jay and Candace, this is the
biggest thing that's happened yet.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
And this is the biggest moment of it all.
Speaker 2 (04:53):

You'd love to go.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
I'm going to the game tonight.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Can we make this official for Iris? Cause this is
about to be the most exciting moment of our lives. Iris,
you've listened for three weeks. You have added up the
Jersey numbers. Please tell us the correct total of all

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Honey, look, you got round trip for two to re- Oh,

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Bye-bye, Iris. You're going to South America.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
I've got to send her some pictures.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Listen to this.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
We've still got Iris on the phone here at 93.1 WPSC.
We're getting all our details, and we're getting everything squared away. Iris,
you are a hoot, so I understand you're a dentist,
and your daughter who's going with you is a psychologist.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
And what are you going to do in your building?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
She's at her practice right now. Is there anybody in
the chair that you're taking care of?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
No.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Huh? No.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
She's going nuts. I don't think her phone's going.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
To blow up.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Oh, no.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
She was so nervous she couldn't answer some of the questions.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I know. Iris, you're okay, though. It's all settled in
on you now.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
You're good.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
It's settled.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
We all eat cake.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
It's settled down. It's settled down.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Hey, everybody.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
She has gone crazy.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
All right, well, look, I want you to make us proud.
Take a lot of pictures, and we can't wait to
hear about it when you get back.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
All right?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Uh-huh.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Oh, my God. You're going to be the first.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
I'm going to take tons of pictures. I'm a picture taker.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I can't wait until I go to the game, and
I'm going to be going crazy. Are you guys going
to be in the game tonight? Tonight, yeah. You're the
one that gets to go to South America, though. Listen here.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Yeah, you're the big deal right here.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah, congratulations, Iris. I know, but I'm coming for you.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
I was like, I'm coming for you.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
All right, honey.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Well, I got a hug waiting for you, and we're
going to let you go. Our prize department will be
in touch with you. We're all set, all right?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I can't believe it.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
I love you both.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
My great-grandchildren. I love it.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
She wakes up with us every morning, she said. Iris,
thank you very much, dear. We're going to be in
touch with you.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
See you later.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Wow. And we love you, Iris, and your excitement for
the trip and for the purple and black.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Man, that was fun.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
All right, 93.1 WPOC, Michael J. and Candace.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
It is a three ring circus without a tent around here.
Let me, let me tell you one more time. Congratulations.
Congratulations to Irish, Iris Shields, Iris Shields.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
She is from Nottingham, Maryland. And boy, was she thrilled.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
To know that it was 600 and the total number
was 604.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Is that correct?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
That was the total jerseys.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
604.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
And it was, It was so cute that she was
so nervous when we were asking her her personal details, name,
phone number, all that.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
And she's like, hold on, I got to get myself together.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Because the reality is we were kind of nervous and
very excited for the whole.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Thing to go down anyway.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
So now that we've done that, we can get back
to our regularly scheduled hot seat. And we have something
very exciting if you're a KC Musgraves fan. So what
we're going to do is open up the lines again,
the ones that have already been ruled by Iris this morning.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
800-321-3693.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Ninth caller, and you get a seat in the hot seat.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
93.1 WPOC. DeeDee, am I saying your name right? DeeDee. Yes,
you are.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Perfect.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yes, you are.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Candace, say good morning to DeeDee. We got it.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Hey, Dee Dee.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Dee Dee, just out of curiosity, had you been playing
along for the Purple Passport, too? No, I haven't.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
As a matter of fact, I'm just sitting out on
my pier, and I'm crabbing, and I heard them say,
and I tried dialing, and I.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Candace, she's sitting on the dock of the bay.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
We're jealous.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Yeah, are you getting some big ones today? Well, I'll
tell you what.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Oh, my God. I'm catching them like crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Oh, my God. Where are you crabbing? Tell me where
you are. I'm coming over.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I'm down in Glen Burnie.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
All right.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
All right, we'll be there.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Yeah, I love crab, and there's nothing like it. And
how do you do it? Are you dipping, or do
you have a pot, or what do you have?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Well, I'm doing it by hand lines, hand lines off
the pier. Okay.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Keep burning in those big ones. Do you throw the
females back, or do you keep them?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
They're on the radio.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
You throw the females back? Oh, I keep them.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Hey, we're going to steam them up and have some
beer with them later on this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
We're going over.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Okay, so really, we're coming over.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, we're going over to see Dee Dee. It's Friday afternoon.
It's crab time, honey. All right, three questions. You got
to get them before the buzzer. You got three seconds,
so be snappy and happy. Here we go, Candace.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
All right. You know, we had the purple passport to.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
We had the purple passport to Rio and we've been
talking about the team, you know, the purple and black
team here.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
So we're, yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
So we were wondering who's your favorite football player from
that purple and black team.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Favorite football player. Three seconds. DD go.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
There you go. He's Lamar. He is Lamar. All right.
That's one down. Two more for her. Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
All right.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
What's your favorite thing about going to a game?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Favorite part of going to a football game, DeeDee.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Go.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Sitting there watching the game and drinking a cold beer.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
There you go. Now she's got it. All right. One
more for DeeDee. It's easy. Let's go.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
All right.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
You know, we've been talking about making memories with this
trip to Rio. We want to know what's your favorite
memory from going to a game here in Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Three seconds. Favorite memory, DeeDee, go.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
My favorite memory is that I had a blanket on
and it fell down behind the seat and I couldn't
get it.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Nothing stops Didi from cheering for the team.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Didi, you have just won tickets for Casey Musgraves. Congratulations.
September 5th, CFG Bank Arena. You're in the house. Thanks
to 93.1 WPOC. This has been the most up and
down emotional week. I think we've had in a long,
long time. We lost. We lost the immortal. We gave
(16:02):
away a trip for South America. We've learned so much
about each other. It's just been we've been doing good deeds.
Hashtag good deeds for Dolly. We've given away all sorts
of concert tickets. Have I left anything out so far?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I think I hit it all.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah, I think that's about it.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
But, you know, I think the biggest thing to come
out of this, you know, obviously we gave away one
of the biggest trips that we've ever given away personally.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
It was worth like almost 10 grand.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
And the other thing is to hear from our family
members here at WPOC, our loyal listeners, about the ways
that they've been paying it forward and doing good deeds.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
It's so inspiring.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
And a reminder, put this date on your calendar. nine
to five. I mean, obviously that is the Dolly Parton
anthem nine to five, right? So September 25th is coming
up and not only is Garth Brooks, he's inspired us.
Garth Brooks is going to be giving back at his
bar in Nashville. Every penny he makes is going to this,
(17:11):
this reading program that, that she started in 300 million
books were generated for kids.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
We'll do the same.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
We're going to do pay it forward a nine to
five in honor of Dolly Parton. So be here and
be a part of that. We're already planning. That is
four weeks from today, Candace. We are already looking forward
to it tonight. Let's go Ravens. It's the final, final
preseason game. It's just a warmup practice, but let's go guys.
(17:39):
It's all happening at M and T bank stadium tonight.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Be there. Be square.
