wp C.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Now, let's talk about what's trending with our bodies. Starting out,
Starting out with the time change over the weekend. How
long does it take you to feel that you've adjusted?

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yesterday I didn't notice anything at all, and then this
morning when I woke up, I was like, eh, and
this does feel earlier really, so you can feel it,
but I'll.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
Be over it by tomorrow. See.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
I think for me it's probably I'm not going to
feel it this year because I just started on this
new morning show, and so getting up at four o'clock
in the morning, I'm just adjusting to that, all right,
you know what's another hour? Yeah, and it's dark out anyway.
A lot of it has to do maybe with your
circadian rhythm and they when you see the light.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
I always thought it was tricky when I had little
babies that were on pretty strict schedules, Like if they're
used to eating every day at six and then the
time changes, it's like, well, do I make them?

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Wait? Do I know like that, but older kids I
don't think they care all right, So how long does
it take you to adjust the time change? Seventy seven
nine six to two second? Thing trending. I was at
the home show over the weekend at the fair Grounds
and the new thing, well, I guess it's been out
for a while with the cold plunge.

Speaker 5 (01:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Regina was there with all their hot tubs and they
have the cold plunge tub. Now it's very high end.
You know, it's got a refrigeration unit and you put
a lid on it. You can put it outside right
next to whatever you want to, you know, have it
next to your grill so you can cold plunge. I've
not done this. Have you sat in forty degree water?

(01:50):
Bethany y have done it? I have cold plunged before.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
And first of all, it takes all the pain away
from your whole entire body, which is really nice, okay,
but cautionary, like they're saying, it's really bad for your hormones.
So if you have something like a hormono issue, like
it sends your body into complete like crisis mode, so
that might not be for you.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
I know what.

Speaker 4 (02:13):

So they said to me, it's like fight or flight,
which is like a panic attack. I don't know if
I like, why are we doing this on purpose? And
you and you were in there for three minutes?

Speaker 4 (02:24):
I think it was three minutes. Yea, it was a
long time.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Road construction is the right lane, clothes on forty westbound

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Ninety three point onepoc Hey. I feel that I learned
some things I want to share with you really quick
at the Home and Garden show, okay, and craft show,
and I'm sad that I didn't make it up to
the other building with the crafts because we weren't a
time crunch.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
You almost need too. It was a really cool shot
look at.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
So so first things first, I'm walking through and I've
got my Battleado's Stone hoodie on Battleado is a stone
place up in Cockysville. All right, I get I've bought
stone there before, and I've been in there like you
were a couple of days in a row. And the
guy's like, here, take it. You're here all the time.
Take a sledge shirt. So I'm like, all right, I'll
wear it. I like it, but I look like a

(06:24):
construction guy walking Yeah, you're with the company. And so
everybody thought that people came up to me. They're like, so,
can I ask you a question about Bluestone? And I'm like, what, Oh,
I forgot how the hoodie on? So I was being
low key. I wasn't being Michael jor whatever you know.
And uh, Crystal who works for I want to get
the name of her company, right, She's very sweet from

(06:45):
American Century Solar.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
She's like, you're Michael. She was excited. Oh she's a.

Speaker 6 (06:51):
Huge Crystal, I love you. You're awesome.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
She sells solar and she's a big WPOC country fan,
all right, So I promised her a shout out the
trades And just the other thing I learned really quick
Gavin from Griggs and sun Glass.

Speaker 6 (07:06):
And mirror, he taught me something you knew. I didn't
know this.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
You're not supposed to spray wind X on a mirror, right,
I didn't know that. I think, well no, but he
told me the reason it is. Did you know this
that a mirror is really just a sheet of glass.
And then on the back side of that, the first
thing they do is they put on a layer of
silver or aluminum, and then there's a layer of copper

(07:30):
that protects the reflective layer and What happens is if
you spray the uh and this is if it's got
ammonia in it. Okay, Windex with ammonia. The ammonia actually
eats the backing off the mirror and you'll get those
black spots. And if it drips down to the bottom,
you know you'll see in the bottom of your mirror. Sar,
it's turning black. That's because there's no more mirror because

(07:52):
it's eating the reflective part on the back of old side.
So yeah, I didn't so you're easily he goes. People
that clean windows didn't know about this. So you want
to get either Windex without ammonia or you want to
go with a vinegar type solution.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (08:06):
So I learned something new at the home show.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
How about that?

Speaker 3 (08:09):
And we talked about food at the home show because
there's nothing like a good old dog or a burger.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
Yeah, so we I wondered, what is the biggest food crime?
You are terrible?

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Well, I admit if I'm hungry, I don't care what
it is and doesn't eat anything. And an example is
if we're out of milk and they're cereal, I've put
I've been known to put juice or iced tea on
the cereal if it's a cold liquid.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
No, no, that's not how that works.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
I would be willing to do that. I'm like, peanut
butter and jelly. We're out of bread because we have
to get front of the store. I was doing peanut
butter and jelly and crackers last night.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
I mean, okay, I'll give you that one good because
they have those peanut butter.

Speaker 6 (08:51):
But what's the weirdest thing you would eat? Do you
do any food crime?

Speaker 1 (08:54):
I don't think I do any food crimes. I know
my family's big on putting ketchup on stuff.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
I don't think I love.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
My wife kills me on that because she'll like, you know,
really work to get a certain sauce on a steak,
and I'm like, just give me the a one, you
know what I mean, And I will always taste it
and make sure I appreciate the flavor of the dish,
and then let.

Speaker 6 (09:14):
Me put ketchup on it.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Then you'll smother it would get well. My dad will
put ketchup on eggs. He'll put it on macarie and
on scrapple, and I'm like, stop stop. But somebody I
saw online puts ketchup on their apples, like dips, apples,
slices and ketchup.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
I was like, well, here's a weird one. My mom,
her whole life, has put salt and pepper on cantalope.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
It's supposed to bring out the No.

Speaker 6 (09:40):
Now, I wouldn't do that food crime.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
I have a friend that puts hot sauce on her pickles.
What yep, swears by it.

Speaker 6 (09:48):
You don't put anything of pickles, although some people like
him fried.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Yeah, yep. Let's see what else do?

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (09:54):
I just saw online yesterday that somebody's putting mayonnaise on
spaghetti noodles.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
That's ridiculous. Let's hear about your food crime. Do you
do you eat anything that's just crazy?

Speaker 4 (10:05):

Speaker 1 (10:45):
I don't call us if you're gonna say something gross
like this, you gotta dip your scrapple in your yoke
from your eggs.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Oh, that's probably pretty good. I would go with that,
I have.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Someone said I have a friend that dips doritos and
catch up. My puts mustard on her pizza, which is
actually not that terrible.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
I don't think so. What about the salt on candle
open watermelon I was talking about?

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah, somebody else does that. Yeah, and that Dan does.
In fact, he puts ketchup on his scramble eggs too.
Someone said, put pickles on my peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Speaker 6 (11:17):
Mastard apple slices.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Oh, this is a good one. Mayonnai is on my
grilled cheese sandwiches instead of butter. That actually is a
really good tip.

Speaker 6 (11:24):
That's way better than butter.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
My grandmother used to put like just cake on the
butter on these ham sandwiches. It was just I'm not
but I'm not a butter fan. Grand Yeah, so no,
but you so do you go with mustard on apple slices? No?

Speaker 4 (11:39):
No, absolutely not. My Exe used to use. This is funny.

Speaker 3 (11:42):

He says doing I think what a lot of us
hoped he would.

Speaking during an Instagram Q and A in the last
couple of days, he was asked what he thinks about
Trump's performance so far, he says, I'm actually excited, honestly,
he continued, Obviously, you guys know this. We've been a
fan of his for a long time, and he's doing
I think what a lot of us had hoped that
he would do what he said he was.

Speaker 6 (17:48):

ASKCAP stands for it's a big word, a big name

songwriters and they make sure that the songwriters get their cut. Yeah,
so bars and places that play music licensed music, they've
got to pay a fee for that, and bars that

aren't are subject to being busted like these. Throughout the
entire Midwest, there's fifteen bars. Now ask Gap is suing
because they call up and said, hey, you owe us, like,
you know, one hundred thousand dollars in a lot of
the money, and they're going back and forth.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
So just I want everybody to get paid. But I
think that's a little bit wild. Well, they're going to
shake down some bars in Baltimore before long.

Speaker 3 (18:51):

Speaker 5 (21:07):
No, of course the audio is top tier. No, it
was actually it was okay, it was fine, but it
just I just feel like, I'm like, it's so goofy
to have to hear my life.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
Nobody likes to.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
Hear their own voice, I know, nobody, And I just wondered.
I'm like, so I get a text from Steve Ruce,
a friend of mine. He's like, I cannot get away
from you, you know, And but he was, it's a
family event.

Speaker 6 (21:30):
Everybody wants to take their kids.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
And so if I'm sorry, if I maybe if you
shouted at people think I was shouting. I just was like,
you know, I was repetitive because they kept playing it
over and over and maybe we.

Speaker 4 (21:43):
Could have done a couple of different versions of it.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
I didn't know it was going to be looped, but
it was a fun place. A lot of people brought
their families. And speaking of kids and families, there's a
child psychologist, mother of three in Parents magazine and elsewhere.
She's been telling people that there's a particular phrase that
parents are saying to their kids, and she says it

(22:08):
causes your kids to struggle as adults.

Speaker 6 (22:12):
Oh do you want to guess what that phrase is?

Speaker 3 (22:16):
I don't parents say this all the time, but she says,
as a child psychologist, it's not a good thing to
teach your what is it?

Speaker 6 (22:23):
The line is I just want my kids to be happy.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
Oh God, everybody says that.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
I know what she says, that's not what you want
to do. Instead, you want to teach your kids resilience
In childhood. She's like, that's what they need to learn.
Over time, they learn to avoid distress instead of managing it.
So what she's saying is, no, when your kids are
having a bad day, you got to let them wallow
in it a little bit. Don't solve all their problems

(22:49):
for them immediately.

Speaker 6 (22:51):
Exactly.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
The more they focus on making their kids happy, the
fewer feelings they learn to cope with. And she claims
that that's the reason that we're having so many, you know,
problems with depression.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
She said, it's a recipe for anxiety, fragility, and self doubt.
So let your kids have a rough day. It's how
they learned to cope. She says, what do you say?
So I asked on Facebook. Sure, back in Pikesville. Here's
the one comment that came in. One of the biggest
reasons we swoop in is because we feel uncomfortable. It's
almost as if we confuse our kids' feelings with our own. Yeah,

(23:28):
use this mantra, I'm safe, this isn't an emergency. I
can cope with this.

Speaker 4 (23:34):
So that's good advice.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
I wanted to ask you what you thought about all this,
and you know, throw it out there seven seven ninety
sixty two.

Speaker 4 (23:40):
You can text her, you can call eight hundred and
three two one thirty six ninety three.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
It's almost like every generation swings the opposite way of
the way that they were parented. Okay, okay, So I
mean this is just my observation. So like probably when
you were growing up, your parents were just like.

Speaker 6 (24:00):
Buye, let us run around, like come.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Back before the sun goes down, right, see you later.
But then you I'm not speaking just for you, No,
I do swung the other way, and we're like, oh no,
I've got to keep an eye on them all the time.
I've got to help them all the time, Like because
you were kind of making up for the things that
like you felt what you were lacking.

Speaker 4 (24:20):
But now, now where do we go from here?

Speaker 3 (24:23):
Yeah, but what she's saying is probably right that we're
creating kids that don't know how to deal with life.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Right maybe, But then also, like that can't be the
only reason that our kids have anxiety and depressions about
like the news and social media, and like, I mean,
there is a lot going on, right, No, absolutely, how
do you not want to save them from all this?

Speaker 6 (24:45):
Right?

Speaker 3 (24:45):
It must be it must be harder to be a
kid right now than ever before. And I think it's
harder to be a parent right now before. I mean,
we both are going through it. You know.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
That's why there's so many people that are in gen
z that are like, I'm not having kids. I'm not
doing it because well it's hard, you.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
Know what, there's enough, there's still nothing like having a child.
I mean, you look at our Baltimore Mayor just had
a little, beautiful little girl. I mean there she is
in the nursery of the hospital. She's all dimples. I mean,
you know what I'm saying. People aren't going to stop
one to have kids. And if you raise them, that's
the whole thing. It's like you gotta worry about it.
But what do you think about, you know, telling your kids,

(25:24):
I just want I just want my kids to be happy. Yeah,
like you're not supposed to say that ever. Again, perhaps
we should teach them to be content and not happy.

Speaker 6 (25:34):
Or teach them coping skills.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
And when you have a problem yourself, try to break
it down on a younger level and explain what you're
going through, and yeah, let them see you through a
little happy dants with sunshine sixties today, seventy tomorrow Orioles
opening day two weeks from thursday. I mean we sprung

(25:58):
ahead over the weekend. Yeah. Sure, maybe it's going to
take a few days to adjust, but we're getting there.

Speaker 4 (26:04):
I think this is an easier one to adjust too,
because you get more sunshine.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
Right. But if you're dragon tired and you're a good
person to speak to this because you went to your
brother's wedding.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
Yeah, we got home so late, got three hours sleep
last night. You're feeling okay, I'm okay so far.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
So we were talking about a psychologist, a child psychologist,
and a mother of three who said it's not a
good idea to say that you want to make.

Speaker 6 (26:28):
Your kids happy.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
You just want your kids to be happy, because if
you're a parent, go back to when your child was
in the crib, you know, six months old, you know,
an infant crying?

Speaker 6 (26:39):
What happened?

Speaker 5 (26:41):
You know?

Speaker 3 (26:41):
Are you a parent that's stuck a pacifier in the
child's mouth, You play the music, you do anything possible
to get some sleep, right, Yeah, And that whole way
of dealing with that is something that apparently continues on. Yeah,
you're constantly looking for a way to satisfy, give them
a phone to play with, a computer a video game.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
And they're little con artists, so they immediately learn manipulation. Yes,
if I do this, then I'm going to get this right.
Like as infants, they learn what you know.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
So what we were saying is this child psychologist says,
that's really bad because we're not teaching our kids coping skills.

Speaker 6 (27:16):
So we just wondered what you thought about it.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Ray says on text, only wanting happiness from my kids
places the responsibility of their happiness solely on me, and
I'm not responsible for theirs or anyone else's happiness.

Speaker 4 (27:28):
That's like one good point.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Teaching kids how to regulate and live in unhappiness, boredom,
and uncomfortable situation situations allows them to grow and move
outside of the easy and the yeah stay in their
comfort zone. Someone said, Hi, I'm an elementary school teacher,
and we're focusing so hard on social emotional learning in
school because kids aren't learning that at home, right, And.

Speaker 6 (27:52):
Not only are they, you know, not learning it at home.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
I've got a kid who's early twenties twenty one now,
and you know, he his entire high school career was
through the pandemic and so like he didn't have you know,
a lot of the kids didn't. They didn't have prom
they didn't some of them didn't have graduations.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
It was all virtual or.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Even just the like I know my kids liked missed
out on playdates and missed out on like hanging out
with people, so learning how to go to someone else's
house and like maybe they don't have the soda that
you like, and maybe you don't you know, maybe you
have to eat the broccoli at they're like or whatever,
like yeah, those might eat in the broad Perhaps the
best thing that we can do for our kids and
their emotional happiness is take care of our own.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
There you go, and and you know what, maybe that's
a great image for them to look at night.

Speaker 7 (28:39):
Yeah ninety three point one w POC traffic.

Speaker 4 (28:43):
Easier said than it's not easy.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
No again, do you agree with this statement that being
a parent now it's the toughest job ever. And I mean,
you know, you can't compare apples dapples.

Speaker 6 (28:54):
Who knows what our.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
Parents had to go through and grandparents, But it's not easy.
Being a tricky It is tricky, all right.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
The outer lip between seven ninety five and Baltimore National
Pike is stopping go right now. We're stopping go before
the Harbor Tunnel on eight ninety five southbound. Looks like
you're sitting there for about ten minutes. The accident on
Baldwin's Mill Roache. Someone texted and said that that has
cleared up, so thank you for that. And then looks
like eighty three southbound between Potonia and Timonium.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Something going on there all right, And like I said,
enjoy the day, you know, make you, make you happy,
Sunshine sixty five, that's working for us.
