Speaker 3 (03:04):
We are just shocked by the death of NASCAR legend
Kyle Busch. It happened very suddenly. We don't know what
happened or why he died. He was suffering from a
severe illness Wednesday night. As Candace said, we are getting
some calls from NASCAR fans all around w poc Sherman,
what did you think, man?

Speaker 8 (03:22):
He was such a good racer, team owner. It's sad
for his wife and kids. It really is. There some
races he was you just thought you had another Dale
Earnhardt out there where he was going to wreck here
or whatever. Senior. I'm talking about Julie watching him. I
wasn't his biggest fan, but I'm enjoyed watching. Years ago,
I followed, you know, Dale Earnhardt Senior. And the first

(03:45):
time I ever got to go to Dover to seeing
brace was the year he died.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah, and I think his last race was the Truck
Series Saturday at Dover for Kyle Busch.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
That is so very very sad.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Michael Jay's Music City Minute in Country Music is happening

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Three point one poc. All right, Cannis, what's happening with
the CMA Fest.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
The lineup is here with Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan,
Ella Langley and more. It's a four day event running
from June fourth to June seventh. Of course, I used
to be called fan Fair fan Fest actually, but yeah,
it's gonna be a lot of fun. Ella Langley, Russell Dickerson,
Jason Aldean, Gretchen Wilson many more. Friday includes Blake Shelton,

(04:28):
Carly Pierce, Keith, Urban Shaboozie and other performances. And Saturday,
June sixth, Tim McGraw.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
You're happy about that, I'm sure.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Jordan Davis, Randy Travis, Tanny Tucker, and Sunday is headlined
by Ashley McBride and they always have it and then
they follow up with a TV version of it. They
kind of condense it and put it on television. Congratulations.
Kenny Chesney is song carry On debuted on Country Airplay,
so in doing so, he has now scored his one

(04:59):
hundredth hit on country airplay. He is now tied goodness,
tied with George Straight for the most ever, both scoring
one hundred hits. So his next one he'll kind of
surpass that. So congratulations. And finally, Jelly Roll is suited
up for the NHL. His new song Rise Up is
going to be played for the Stanley Cup playoffs, so

(05:19):
we look forward to hearing that and seeing that from
Jelly Roll. My car isn't that fast. I got it
like a Sedan Toyota Avalon, but I filled it up
and it was like a fifty bucks. It's usually not
fifty bucks. It's usually I don't know, thirty five forty.
I mean, we're all dealing with this high prices and
inflation grocery. How do you save? What's a good cost

(05:42):
cutting tip from kandas? Do you have one? I mean,
you have kids, and I'm sure there's.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Some kind of Yeah.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
I find the best way for us to save is
Dubai in bulk. Were big Sam's customer. That's a good one.
And you know, I mean even like I was looking
at the cost of all the bars in this store
versus going to Sam's, and I'm like there, I mean,
even if I don't eat some of the flavors in
the box, I'm still saving money just by buying in bulk.

(06:10):
So that's really my biggest tip is to buy in bulk.
How about you?

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Will they say you only use cash? I mean everyone
uses credit cards. I feel like if you use cash,
you are likely to spend less than you are just like, oh,
I put it on the card, It's fine, whatever, But
here is mine. I look, I television and movies.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
That is my thing.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
I'm not giving up the apps that I like or subscriptions,
so I definitely do the ads. I do the lowest
version of the subscription to Netflix or whatever, so that
saves a little bit of money. Yes, I could cancel
everything and save more, but that's my little cost cutting.
I watch a lot of ads and then I get up,

(06:50):
you know, I might clean a dish or something in
the kitchen while the commercial is going on. You know
how it is back in the old days, when the
commercials you do other things.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
It's fine. So I'm fine with that.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
One eight hundred three two one three six nine three
cost cutting tips during these expensive times?

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Cost cutting tips.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
I know a friend of mine who had kids and
should pack the lunch every single day and put like
a little sandwich in one of those like Ziplock sandwich
baggies and then ask the you know, sun or daughter
to save the baggie and bring it back for you know,
like the next week. Or that's that's pretty uh. I mean,
that's really trying to save money. But what are your

(07:26):
cost cutting tips during these expensive times? What do we
got on the text line at seven seven ninety six two, Candice.

Speaker 6 (07:33):
We have a lot of good ideas.

Speaker 5 (07:35):
One says, I make my coffee at home only by
it from Duncan once a week, that's my splurge. I
would say that could save some money. Missy says, might
sound silly, but I use grocery delivery rather than going
in this store to do my grocery shopping. I order
everything online so I can see exactly how much I'm
spending before I check out, so I can stick to

(07:56):
my budget. And I don't go in this store and
grab all the extra things you see just because you're
wandering the aisles.

Speaker 6 (08:01):
That's a good tip, yep.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
Somebody else says, my money saving tip is to buy
what's on sale or store brands. Sometimes it's store brands
taste just as good, and the big name brands are
then much cheaper.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
I always do. Yeah, do you?

Speaker 5 (08:16):
Another person says a big thing with us is to
use up leftovers. Throwing leftover food away is throwing away money.
I am funny how people are divided on leftovers. I
eat leftovers.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yes, I know exactly what you're gonna say.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
I know people who buy food and they throw away
the leftovers because it's not fresh. And I get that.
I understand. You know, it's to some people a little
gross not to eat it fresh right out of the oven.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
But I save leftovers.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
A lot of food is better sometimes the second time around.
You know, they see lasagna or whatever, but that is
throwing food away. You have to go to a great restaurant.
You're darn right, I'm eating that for lunch the next day.
One hundred percent exactly. Let's see what the callers say
for cost cutting.

Speaker 5 (08:57):
Tips'pend so much money on coff be at Starbucks or
Duncan or wherever you're going.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Just make it at home.

Speaker 8 (09:04):
It's like seven dollars.

Speaker 6 (09:05):
Per a cup of coffee out there.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Oh that's a good one. WPOC, what's yours? I basically
have like twelve different emails for different websites to get
the like fifteen to twenty percent off. I like that one.
Go ahead. We like a no spend day, like at
least twice a week.

Speaker 8 (09:21):
You don't spend.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Any money, You rely on your resources.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
I wish we could do in those spend day. That
would be so much fun. I would have a party,
a cheap party, but it would be a party. I
love the email idea that is really getting into it,
you know, trying to get twenty percent off by signing up.
