In Anarundel Community College in the welding program can attend

Listen to this. This is really cool.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
If you do the welding program at Anarundel Community college.
Is the average starting salary fifty five thousand dollars and
they're going to need to hire welders like crazy. The
Maryland Department of Labor awarded Anarundo Community College a total
of almost four hundred thousand dollars in a grant to
increase the number of students enrolled in its welding lab
(01:03):
because they want to build up, you know, the the
amount of people that.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Are ready to be hired. I think this is really neat.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Yeah, they've been doing it for twenty years and it's
it's a run in cooperation with a one hundred and
six year old company earl back gases and technologies.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
They'd probably hire you right away. And what I feel like.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
It's such a cool thing to be involved in building
the new bridge.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I think that's really son. If you're wondering today, you know,
what are you going to do?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
You're not really you know, a hardcore college student whatever,
but you're good with your hands, and you'd.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Like it a little bit more money like this Aronto
Community College. They'll give it to you for.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Free if you know it's needs base.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
But hey, good luck with that.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Can we pause a moment for one of my dreams
coming true?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
What is that? Tim Horton's is coming exacting? Everyone, calm down.
You're a big fan of Tim Mortons. I love Tim Morton's.
Speaker 1 (01:55):

City Minute in sixty seconds.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
You gon't know like you own.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Music Row all right in Nashville, everybody's getting excited about
what's gonna happen over in Frisco, Texas because the Academy
of Country Music Awards aren't actually handed out in Music City.
They do them over in Texas. Yeah, but everybody is
starting uh to wonder what's gonna happen now. The ACM
Awards are coming up May eighth. You'll be able to
(03:04):
watch it. It'll be streamed on Prime Video. And I
don't are we gonna bring it? I think we have
to check. I think today we'll be able to confirm
that if we are. But nominees for the Male Artist
of the Year are the exact same five dudes who
were nominated in twenty twenty four. They are Luke Comb's,
(03:24):
Cody Johnson, Jelly Roll, Chris Stapleton.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
And Morgan Wallen.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Okay, now you could justify any one of those guys.
I think winning this last year Chris Stapleton won, will
he repeat? I'm personally my gut is it's Jelly rolls
yere okay, but you have to remember that the ACMs,
it's again very political. It's in Texas. You know, is
(03:54):
he going to be able to beat Cody Johnson? Let's say,
who is a Texas boy? You know what I mean?
Or is christ At gonna repeat? Or Luke Komb certainly
has something to say? Sure, I mean he's had quite
a year. Yeah, Fastcar is like song of the century
for him and Morgan Wallins in there. So we'll find
out what happens on May eighth. But if you had
(04:14):
to pick one right now, I'm going with jelly Roll.
Who are you picking? I think you're right about jelly Roll?
Really yeah, so we both are going to go either.
I don't think it's going to be Chris again. I
don't think Cody Johnson has enough.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
It's Jelly Roll, Yeah you think? All right?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Ninety three point one WPOC traffic all right on the
outer lip between nursersun Road and Liberty.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Happy Earth Day here at ninety three point one WPOC
And I ask you, Michael J and Bethany. We want
to know what is more of the earth than our birds,
which are back in Baltimore. Again, I'm not talking about
the orioles, talking about birds.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
They're everywhere. Don't you love birds when they're back in
the winter.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
It's so quiet when you go out right now, It's
like it's a whole orchestra out there. And I thought
we'd call Mary Lynn at wild Birds Unlimited and Timonium,
and I wanted to ask you your birds. They all
love all those seeds you sell. Right, wait a minute,
I'll put Mary Lynn on the air. They buy, They
love all those seeds you've got, right, wait a minute,
(05:27):
mary Lynn. Oh, don't tell me.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
It's a sunflower seed. And we have that in a
variety of forms, with shells, without shells, et cetera. But
then when you add different nuts, fruits and things like that,
you may attract different birds and more birds.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
So I've been sitting in my backyard recently with all
the birds back in town, you know, and I noticed
that each songbird does have a different little, you know, song,
and I'm trying to figure out, like which one's the cardinal,
which one's the blue jay?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
You know?
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Are you up with all this, I mean, do you
know when you hear a cardinal, for example, do you
know it's a cardinal versus a robin?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Can you tell? I do?
Speaker 5 (06:05):
I sure do? And you know I can recommend something
to you if you want to know. There's a really
cool free app by Cornell Lab of Ornithology called Merlin
like the Wizard E R L I n H. And
you can actually do sound identifications. So sitting in your backyard,
you push the button and it'll tell you what's singing
along with the highlight of the bird that it is,
(06:25):
so that you can see it as well.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
That's awesome cool. All right.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Well I've been practicing, Mary Lynn, and since you're a
bird expert, I wanted to run this one past you
and I want to see if you can identify this bird.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
All right, this is my this is my best bird call.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
All right, hold on, And I've not done this for
anybody on the radio before, but I've been practicing a
treat for a.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
This is my this is my favorite bird call. Here
we go. See if you recognize it. Here we go.
Well that's good. Well, hold on on. I got to
get the high note. Hold on. That was like a dove. Right, Yeah,
(07:11):
is that is that? Is that a dove? Was that
a good good morning dove?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Ye?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Huh no, it's pretty dark good.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
I knew it immediately.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
And so other than that, is there a particular call
that you particl you know you love Mary Lynn?
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Yes? I love the Carolina wren. It's a tiny little
bird and it has a very big voice and it
just sings. It's a little hard out and wonderful.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
You can't you can't do it, can you?
Speaker 5 (07:41):
No, you need to work on it.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
There is much funy we made.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
She's like, oh, no, way, ninety three point one, poc.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
She was staring out the wind of the issue. Be
complain and see And I can't believe.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
To turn.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Ninety three point one poc. Oh, you've got to hear
about this.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
I just broke the news to Bethany Michael Jay here
that we're just two days away from the NFL Draft.
No sport in major sports does a better job of
marketing their product year round. I mean, it used to
be just the season, right then you have one thing
after the next, But the draft has become it's like
(08:32):
nirvana for football fans, and every year it's in a
different place like this year, it's going to be in
Green Bay.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
So you have your mock draft together, right? Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah, you know what you're you know what you're predicting.
I've been working on it since last draft. Are are
you ready for Thursday nine and eight? I can barely
contain my right.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Well, here we go.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
H this is the mock draft they're talking about. The
Tennessee Titans are going to go first, and they're saying
and they're going to get their QB of the future
with cam Ward, a quarterback from Miami.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
That's who I have? Is that right? Cam?
Speaker 4 (09:07):
And then okay, let's see what you think about the
next two just out of curiosity.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
What kind of a grade would you give these picks?
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Cleveland Browns are going next Travis Hunter from Colorado. The
best player in the draft goes to a team that
desperately needs talent just about every single way.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
No, are you down with the Browns going for trav Colorado?
He's high? No, you think you should be drug tested first?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
All right?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
The New York Giants are going with Abdull Carter. This
is the speculation. Okay, he's an edge rusher Penn State.
And they say, you can't have too many pass rushers,
especially when you have the opportunity to add one as
talented as Abdul Carter?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
What are you thinking about that?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I totally support this pick. I love an edge rusher.
You like that peck, So you're going with Abdul?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
All right?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Ninety three point one w POC.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
And I know you're going to be watching, especially the round, right,
you know, you know Big Bay. You know how big
this is because you know, they put the team on
the clock and then everybody's anticipating, and then the commentators
are like, well, we think this is gonna happen, and
that's gonna and then you see the call and the
kids in the room with his family, and he gets
the good news and he gets to get the hat
and the jersey and the number one on the back.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
It's all the excitement.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
And how late will this go on Thursday? Oh, it's
gonna go late into the day. It goes for three days.
We should Thursday, Friday, Saturday. We should probably put in
some vacation time so that I can really dig in
and get it Friday morning. I really need to dig in.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
All right.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Traffic, all right, we're closed on one thirteen northbound between markets.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Ninety three point one w p C.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Now, well, if you ask any of the one point
two billion Catholics in the world, huh, the trending story
is certainly around Pope Francis. They have now announced this morning, Bethany,
that the funeral will happen on Saturday at ten am.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Okay, so that is going down on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
And now I read that President Trump and Millenia will
be attending.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Presidents and representatives from countries all over the world are
going to be there, certainly from South America where the
Pope came from, from Argentina and Brazil and all over Europe.
They say Zelenski from Ukraine is going to be there.
Then after the funeral they wait like fifteen days and
(11:36):
that is when the cardinals get together you've been talking about. Yeah,
one hundred and thirty five cardinals will get together, and
then they start the ballot process. They have a draft. Yeah,
but they say there's no front runner right now. No
one really knows.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
There's not somebody that everybody's leaning towards. No, but I mean,
you know, we've we've got cardinals from here.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
And maybe just texted my mom because she last night
on the phone was telling me who she thought should
be the new pope.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
She already knows, she's got a got a favorite draft pick.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Well, you know, you want somebody who's going to do
a good job, and that's this was a good pope.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah, this, like, I really think he modernized the Catholic
Church in a way that you know, other popes kind
of hadn't been able to do.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Right. So interesting, Well, this is part of the process.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
I just was reading her where they say thirty nine
percent of the cardinals are from Europe. So maybe to
end up being a European car cardinal who becomes pope.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Who knows. You know, this guy was cool. You know,
he was a janitor and he was a bouncer ones,
oh the problem. Yeah, No, he was a cool dude.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
He understood all walks of life, no doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
You can ninety three point one w POC traffic.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Those are the boys, Those are the Dylan's, Dylan Scott
and Dylan Marlowe.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
I keep using the loop of entertainment and pop culture
and the things we shouldn't care about, but somehow we
really do. Bethany on ninety three point one Bethany, Yeah, Hi, hi, oh,
By the way, I heard back from my mom, Tracy.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
She says Cardinal Dolan. She's so, he's from New York.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah, and he's actually one of the ones going to vote. Well,
it'd be cool if an American became pope.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, you know what I mean. It's time. Nice to
see that, all right? Do you a happy Earth Day?
Speaker 6 (13:27):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
We live in one of the top five greenest states.
I told you this is everything I was already excited
for us.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
We are number four on the list of New York
Kawai in VERMONTA.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
How is this because of weed? Because of like various
things turning us green? What is it that's making us green?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Factors including air, water, soil quality, renewable energy, energy consumption,
climate change contributions, and green building practices.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
All that kind of green. Yeah, okay, we're green, got
it all right? Uh?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
In what seems like a common sense move, the Academy
of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the academy that votes
for the oscars, have announced that now, if you're going
to vote in the category, you have to have watched
all of the films in the category.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Duh, I know, are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Like, wait a minute, I thought they always had to
didn't watch they could just willy nilly v for whoever
they want.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Do you vote for a movie you seen?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I'm I'm enraged by this, but now you have to
or you can't vote, all right. Hair salons in China
are now using AI powered machines to wash and rinse
people's hair. It takes thirteen minutes. You get to pick
what kind of shamp who you are. I like that
they do it like a back rub too, I think so.
One person said the scalp massage was too painful, and
(14:44):
while someone else said that the back of their head
didn't get quite clean, but they're trying it anyway.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Megan Markle in some hot Water.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Why because she developed this kid's show for Netflix, which
apparently she ripped off completely from a British little kid's book. Okay,
And lastly, what is your partner's name in your phone?
Researchers are saying if it's a pet name, something sweet,
something you know Schnookum's, or something that it means that
you have a more intimate, fulfilling relationship.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
Well, here it comes one of the most amazing moments
