Michael Jay's Music City minute sixty seconds.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
If you don't know, like you own music room. You
want to hear something about Ella Wangley.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
She says she's still shocked that anybody cares enough to
come see her in concert.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I'm always like, I get surprised a lot. I guess
there's still like I'm playing headline shows.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I'm like, I hope people show up, you know, and
then I walk out there and it's been slammed.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Oh of course she's shocked at people. I mean, here's
the thing. She's got so much success right now. Ella
Langley and Morgan Walland's duet I Can't Love You Anymore
debut at number seven on the Billboard Hot one hundred,
matching a historic record set by Dolly and Kenny with
Islands in the Stream. The song marks the first track
by two core country artists in lead roles to enter
(01:16):
the top ten, a milestone not seen since nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Candice wasn't even born. You weren't even thought of. I
don't think you were even thought of.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Previous collaborations featuring country artists did not have both performers
credited as lead artists on a Hot one hundred top
ten debut.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
So Ella Langley, Morgan walland.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Just have busted every record, and now with her three
songs in the top ten at the same time, she's
the hottest thing in the world, no doubt. Country star
Luke Bryan is teasing fish, hunt, golf drink, who would
like to do.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
All four of this show?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
This happened, Well, it's.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Happening in his new song, and here he is singing
the little bit of it.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
You have it my way, you know. Then let me
tell you how every day he would go.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Call me Caam, come tree a.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Shut go. I think he's got another head, you know.
He just keeps cranking about.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
That's no doubt. Every time you hear an.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
He's like the McDonald's of country Newsky. He just keeps
the burgers coming on Billion served. Only you know one
more time, Luke, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Wait callee Jam cop Tree a.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Shut golf.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
All right there it is Michael Chase Music City minute.
Speaker 6 (02:45):
Four years ago. Today we lost a Baltimore icon. We
all came to know and love him as Traffic Jam Jimmy,
one of my best friends, my colleague, and I think
this traffic needs to be for Jimmy. So let's get
started with a road that I often sent him to
along two ninety five, and he couldn't stand it because
he was always in traffic. And yes, there's traffic again
this morning, Candice.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
This is the most iconic of all clips from Traffic
Jam Jimmy.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
It was a.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Snowy morning in Baltimore. He'd been out in the car
for about fourteen hours.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
We were live what seemed to be forever, and.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Here's what Traffic Jam Jimmy said. Hey, I've been a
car since four o'clock. I'm starving. I'm just getting something
real quick. Hey do I get fish sandwich?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Well ah ok yeah, can I get a fish sandwich?
We're on breakfast, right, no breakfast. I give me a
Eggman muffet and a black CoFe.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Now this is right in the middle of the newscast
when he was supposed to be doing a traffic Yes.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
No. But the thing is that I walked out of
the studio after it happened. I said to my boss, hey,
Jimmy was just live at the drive there and he goes, okay, yeah,
it was just another Jimmy moment for us, but it
took the world by star.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
The stomach was calling.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
There he goes pulling around, pulling, give us some coffee.
All right, Traffic Jam Jimmy was also Money the Sea
Monster with Catain Chesapeake Forever.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
So just a legend.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
We lost four years ago today, so we're remembering traffic
Jam Jimmy. Happy Mother's Day, Amanda.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
You're very welcome. So you got you got a house
full of kids. It sounds like, are you done or
you haven't any more? She's like, I'm out this week.
We've got so much going on. It's a military appreciation month,
so we will be saluting another bunch of heroes eight
(04:37):
thirty this morning. If you want us to shout out
your veteran, your active duty personnel, any of the branches
of our military. Here is your chance. Go to the
talkback mic on the iHeartRadio app. Just click that and
tell us about your hero. We would love to make
that part of our announcement at eight thirty. We've also
(04:58):
been recognizing teachers this week, yes, because it's National Teachers Week.
And you know, the thought occurred to me that a
really good teacher leaves an indelible mark on your memory.
And I'll bet that a lot of us remember a
particular lesson, something specific that a given teacher imparted you with.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
You know what I mean? And do you have one?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I just have one.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
I went to Saint Joseph's School in Cockeysville, Okay, and
one of my teachers, Missus Bleffin's. She was my middle
school English teacher, Okay. And at first when I started,
it was all about like spelling in vocab and it
was like every Friday we had the test and I
was like, what are we doing. I'm just memorizing these
And she taught me not to memorize them, to embrace
(05:46):
because after all, you're using these words throughout your life, right,
And She's like, no, really, this has an impact. But
what the most valuable lesson was I did his speech.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I was dressed up.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
As a character and I looked like an older lady
and I was kind of embarrassed to do it, and
it was really one of my first realms into public speaking.
She was like, here's how you own it, and she
really coached me through it. And I will say to
this day I look back on it and think about
my time in broadcasting and I'm like, I wouldn't have
(06:20):
been here if it wasn't for Missus Levins.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Wow, yeah, that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Huh. So that was my life lesson. How about you?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Well, I was in second grade and I will never
forget this Missus Match.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
She's probably passed by now.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
This is a while back, right second grade Glenn Mount Elementary.
We had a project we were supposed to We had
a folder. Every kid in the class had a folder
that was taped up on the wall and we had
different subjects that we had to put things in that
folder about okay, all right, And we had gotten these
subjects by just a random card that you picked out
(06:54):
of a pile from Missus Match. And believe it or not,
my subject was communication.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Of all all communication.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
And I remember back it was like, you know, because
my mom explained it to him. Because I did nothing.
I was so intimidated. For whatever reason. I was still
trying to figure out how to not go on my pants.
It was second grade. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Okay, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah, And so now we're talking about communication.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Of all things. I'm like, that's a big word when
you're saying right.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
So I was just overwhelmed and I didn't do anything
on the project right. And I came home and missus
Match had a conference with my mom and I was
my mom was reminding me what communications about telephone, television?
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Tell Amichael, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
So that was my lesson that like when something is overwhelming,
take a breath and just let and then, you know,
go back in and do it. But I just was like, nope,
shutting down. I'm not going to do anything with communication.
And I ended up spending the rest of.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
My life communication. What about you? Did you learn a
lesson from a teacher?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
One thing I remember a teacher always telling me was
that I would never amount to anything.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
And now I'm Richard who she is? That's a lesson.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
There's no other people on this planet I would rather
spend the morning with than Michael, J and Kandice in
the morning on w POC.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
That's so nice. I didn't catch your first name. What
is it? What's your name, Buddy? Lannie? Alright? So Lannie
was telling us a story.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Missus Schroeder left you with a with an indelible message.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
What did What did she teach you in school? She
told me that I would not make anything of myself
staring out a window right.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Nineteen eighty nine. That's all I've done, is Terry. It's
been driving ever since. Maybe you're Todd that teacher a lesson?
All right, Lonnie, thanks for calling. Thanks for calling, Buddy,
There goes Lonnie. He's been driving his life away.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Yes, and we're getting quite a few texts as well,
coming in. Hey, wife, a teacher here and my husband
pours his heart and soul into students every day. Shout
out to mister Taylor Baltimore's City Schools.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Happy teachers week.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Love that.
Speaker 7 (09:18):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I had a teacher in Colorado named Missus or miss A,
and every day she would say, when we're in the classroom,
we are family. When we left, she would say, I
love you all, and she really taught me human kindness.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Happy teacher appreciation Week. Yes.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
Another Texter says my lesson was not from a teacher,
but from a tutor named Molly Judge, who always told
me that I was smarter than the rest of my class,
even though I was dyslexic. And I was being told
by my teachers at my small private school that I
couldn't do it and being absolutely humiliated in front of
my class.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Wow, shout out to Molly Judge.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
See there are some great teachers out there. What about you? Hey,
good morning. My coach high school told me that perfect
practice makes perfect. Yes, I should remind you.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Megan Moroney is coming to CFG Bang Arena and fifth
I know a lot of folks who are hoping to
get tickets, and it just so happens. We've got a
pair about eight thirty five eight forty this morning. Sometime
in there, We're gonna get things heat it up in
the hot seat. I'd stick around if I were you.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
You are pop culture protein boost. It's the brief. On
ninety three point onepoc.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Baltimore police arrested a man after an armed robbery at
the Orioles Teams store. Officers were called to the store
on West Camden Street around ten am yesterday. Police later
identified a forty nine year old man who took two
jerseys off a wall in this store and tried to flee.
Police set his store employees stop the man and he
took out a knife and ran off, but then officers
(10:51):
searched the area and arrested the man without incident and
the two hundred block of North Utah Street.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Charges are pending.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
A sixteen year old boy has died after a crash
with an electric dirt bike and the car. On Tuesday
afternoon in Fallston. Police were called for a crash in
the area of Route one fifty two in Pleasantville Road,
and investigations showed that the bike hit a hond A
CRV on the passenger side while it was trying to
turn onto Pleasantville Road. The injured sixteen year old of
Folston was taken to Shock Trauma where he was pronounced dead.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
The investigation continues.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Two Southwest Airline flights at BWI Thurgod Marshall Airport were
involved in a minor collision while leaving the gates, prompting
passengers to switch planes. The incident occurred during pushback, causing
minor damage to the wing tips of two flights. Southwest
Airlines immediately took the planes out of service and no
passengers were hurt, and internal review is ongoing, with safety
(11:44):
being the airline's top priority.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
The FAA is investigating the incident as well.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
That is your breathe, Ah, he's unbelievable. Yes it is.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Well, Michael Jay's Music City minute in sixty seconds.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
You gon't know, like you own music Row? All right,
So what is going on? And what is Music Row?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Anyway? I bet you there's some people who are like,
what is Music Row? Well, it's an actual street in Nashville,
and it probably is maybe I'm guessing three blocks. It's
really not that long of a street. And they're really
cute houses that were built like in the nineteen one hundred,
early nineteen hundreds, so a picture like front porch framed
(12:25):
houses or just little individual, you know, city block houses. Anyway,
each one of these houses has become a record company home,
and some of them have put studios in over the
years and whatever. And now I understand that with the consolidation,
they're turning some into condos.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
But that's a whole other story.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
But it's where all of Nashville's country music is really
centrally located, or was at one point, all right, And
that's where all the decisions are made. That's where Taylor
Swift went door to door knocking.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
On anybody listen to my tape? So that kind of
thing things to work out.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah, well that's where all this stuff has been going on.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
On Music Row.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Well, on Music Row, they are jumping up and down
today about a guy named Luke Combs.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
We all love Luke.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
He just broke a huge record and he has been
packing stadiums all over the place. This one at a
place called Rocky Top, home of the Tennessee Volunteers football team.
He smashed the Garth Brooks record that was set back
in twenty nineteen of eighty four thousand plus fans in
the house. Luke Combs sold ninety two thousand and forty
(13:33):
five tickets to the show and it now holds the
all time record at Neiland Stadium in Knoxville. So that's
East Tennessee. That's how they say it there. They say, if.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
You say Knoxville, you sound like a Yankee. So we
got to see Knoxville.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
All Right, real quick country music star Luke Bryan teasing
his new track. If you're a Luke fan, ladies, look
up fish Hunt Golf.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
That's the name of his new stall. Yes he does.
That's your music city. Meta Saluting our troops.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
It's Military Appreciation Month on WPOC.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Now, Candace tell us about what we're about to hear.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
It is Military Appreciation Month and we are honoring those
who serve. We've had a lot of calls with tributes.
Thankful for Ashley Furniture for allowing us to do this.
And one of those calls that we've had is from
Christina who is saluting her friend Natalie Beckis Christina, take
it away?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Okay, Well, I wrote something down. I'm going to try
to get.
Speaker 7 (14:32):
Through it without getting too emotional. This is what I'm
going to say to my buddy. I want to say
thank you to my best friend Natalie Bakish, who is
in the Air National Guard.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
About to be deployed to the Middle East.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
This deployment is for six months, and though she was
nearing her retirement, she still felt that it was more
important to survey overseas where her country needed her. Natalie
also served as a police officer in Baltimore County before
retiring last year. She is a mom to two amazing kids,
Dylan and Nicole, and married to Lieutenant Brad Backish, who
I know we're all going to miss her so much.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
She also lost her.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
Son a couple of years ago, and that Scaretbackish. She
is the most incredible person who gives so much to
her friends and family as well as the community.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
She may be the most unselfish and loving person that
I know.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Her friends and family are so proud of her service
and sacrifice she has made and is making for her country,
and she will be in our prayers every day.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Until she makes it home.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
Thank you so much for the opportunity to salute my friend.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Well Staatea Christina. She is the epitome really of strength,
isn't she? Oh my gosh, she's incredible.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
I mean what she does for the community, fundraising, just
anytime you ask her to be there, she shows up.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
She's incredible.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
You said she's gone for six months and you can't
communicate at all.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I did, Well, I asked her, and I said, well,
can I rate you?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Like?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
What can we do?
Speaker 7 (15:55):
They can get one like video calls kind of a thing.
But for right now, all the post office there, you
can't even send her care packages or anything while she's away,
right okay at this point, now that may change.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Listen, we just want to take this moment to remember
there are people like Natalie who are you know, while
we're enjoying life, everything's great, maybe complaining about whatever you
got going on in your job, these folks are in
the middle of a war.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Out fighting for our freedom.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah, so God bless them and for all of our veterans.
Same deal. We invite you to join us as well,
saluting your hero Here's how you do it. Go to
the iHeartRadio app, hit the talk back mic and send

And She's like, no, really, this has an impact. But
what the most valuable lesson was I did his speech.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I was dressed up.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
As a character and I looked like an older lady
and I was kind of embarrassed to do it, and
it was really one of my first realms into public speaking.
She was like, here's how you own it, and she
really coached me through it. And I will say to
this day I look back on it and think about
my time in broadcasting and I'm like, I wouldn't have
(06:20):
been here if it wasn't for Missus Levins.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Wow, yeah, that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Huh. So that was my life lesson. How about you?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Well, I was in second grade and I will never
forget this Missus Match.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
She's probably passed by now.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
This is a while back, right second grade Glenn Mount Elementary.
We had a project we were supposed to We had
a folder. Every kid in the class had a folder
that was taped up on the wall and we had
different subjects that we had to put things in that
folder about okay, all right, And we had gotten these
subjects by just a random card that you picked out
(06:54):
of a pile from Missus Match. And believe it or not,
my subject was communication.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Of all all communication.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
And I remember back it was like, you know, because
my mom explained it to him. Because I did nothing.
I was so intimidated. For whatever reason. I was still
trying to figure out how to not go on my pants.
It was second grade. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Okay, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah, And so now we're talking about communication.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Of all things. I'm like, that's a big word when
you're saying right.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
So I was just overwhelmed and I didn't do anything
on the project right. And I came home and missus
Match had a conference with my mom and I was
my mom was reminding me what communications about telephone, television?
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Tell Amichael, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
So that was my lesson that like when something is overwhelming,
take a breath and just let and then, you know,
go back in and do it. But I just was like, nope,
shutting down. I'm not going to do anything with communication.
And I ended up spending the rest of.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
My life communication. What about you? Did you learn a
lesson from a teacher?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
One thing I remember a teacher always telling me was
that I would never amount to anything.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
And now I'm Richard who she is? That's a lesson.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
There's no other people on this planet I would rather
spend the morning with than Michael, J and Kandice in
the morning on w POC.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
That's so nice. I didn't catch your first name. What
is it? What's your name, Buddy? Lannie? Alright? So Lannie
was telling us a story.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Missus Schroeder left you with a with an indelible message.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
What did What did she teach you in school? She
told me that I would not make anything of myself
staring out a window right.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Nineteen eighty nine. That's all I've done, is Terry. It's
been driving ever since. Maybe you're Todd that teacher a lesson?
All right, Lonnie, thanks for calling. Thanks for calling, Buddy,
There goes Lonnie. He's been driving his life away.

Happy teachers week.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Love that.
Speaker 7 (09:18):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I had a teacher in Colorado named Missus or miss A,
and every day she would say, when we're in the classroom,
we are family. When we left, she would say, I
love you all, and she really taught me human kindness.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Happy teacher appreciation Week. Yes.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
Another Texter says my lesson was not from a teacher,
but from a tutor named Molly Judge, who always told
me that I was smarter than the rest of my class,
even though I was dyslexic. And I was being told
by my teachers at my small private school that I
couldn't do it and being absolutely humiliated in front of
my class.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Wow, shout out to Molly Judge.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
See there are some great teachers out there. What about you? Hey,
good morning. My coach high school told me that perfect
practice makes perfect. Yes, I should remind you.

involved in a minor collision while leaving the gates, prompting
passengers to switch planes. The incident occurred during pushback, causing
minor damage to the wing tips of two flights. Southwest
Airlines immediately took the planes out of service and no
passengers were hurt, and internal review is ongoing, with safety
(11:44):

Well, Michael Jay's Music City minute in sixty seconds.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
You gon't know, like you own music Row? All right,
So what is going on? And what is Music Row?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Anyway? I bet you there's some people who are like,
what is Music Row? Well, it's an actual street in Nashville,
and it probably is maybe I'm guessing three blocks. It's
really not that long of a street. And they're really
cute houses that were built like in the nineteen one hundred,
early nineteen hundreds, so a picture like front porch framed
(12:25):
houses or just little individual, you know, city block houses. Anyway,
each one of these houses has become a record company home,
and some of them have put studios in over the
years and whatever. And now I understand that with the consolidation,
they're turning some into condos.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
But that's a whole other story.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
But it's where all of Nashville's country music is really
centrally located, or was at one point, all right, And
that's where all the decisions are made. That's where Taylor
Swift went door to door knocking.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
On anybody listen to my tape? So that kind of
thing things to work out.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah, well that's where all this stuff has been going on.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
On Music Row.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Well, on Music Row, they are jumping up and down
today about a guy named Luke Combs.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
We all love Luke.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
He just broke a huge record and he has been
packing stadiums all over the place. This one at a
place called Rocky Top, home of the Tennessee Volunteers football team.
He smashed the Garth Brooks record that was set back
in twenty nineteen of eighty four thousand plus fans in
the house. Luke Combs sold ninety two thousand and forty
(13:33):
five tickets to the show and it now holds the
all time record at Neiland Stadium in Knoxville. So that's
East Tennessee. That's how they say it there. They say, if.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
You say Knoxville, you sound like a Yankee. So we
got to see Knoxville.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
All Right, real quick country music star Luke Bryan teasing
his new track. If you're a Luke fan, ladies, look

going to say to my buddy. I want to say
thank you to my best friend Natalie Bakish, who is
in the Air National Guard.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
About to be deployed to the Middle East.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
This deployment is for six months, and though she was
nearing her retirement, she still felt that it was more
important to survey overseas where her country needed her. Natalie
also served as a police officer in Baltimore County before
retiring last year. She is a mom to two amazing kids,
Dylan and Nicole, and married to Lieutenant Brad Backish, who
I know we're all going to miss her so much.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
She also lost her.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
Son a couple of years ago, and that Scaretbackish. She
is the most incredible person who gives so much to
her friends and family as well as the community.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
She may be the most unselfish and loving person that
I know.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Her friends and family are so proud of her service
and sacrifice she has made and is making for her country,
and she will be in our prayers every day.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Until she makes it home.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
Thank you so much for the opportunity to salute my friend.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Well Staatea Christina. She is the epitome really of strength,
isn't she? Oh my gosh, she's incredible.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
I mean what she does for the community, fundraising, just
anytime you ask her to be there, she shows up.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
She's incredible.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
You said she's gone for six months and you can't
communicate at all.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I did, Well, I asked her, and I said, well,
can I rate you?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Like?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
What can we do?
Speaker 7 (15:55):
They can get one like video calls kind of a thing.
But for right now, all the post office there, you
can't even send her care packages or anything while she's away,
right okay at this point, now that may change.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Listen, we just want to take this moment to remember
there are people like Natalie who are you know, while
we're enjoying life, everything's great, maybe complaining about whatever you
got going on in your job, these folks are in
the middle of a war.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Out fighting for our freedom.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah, so God bless them and for all of our veterans.
Same deal. We invite you to join us as well,
saluting your hero Here's how you do it. Go to
the iHeartRadio app, hit the talk back mic and send
