C now truly Now in this feature we do every
hour at the beginning of the hour, six, seven and eight,
you know what's trending. We try not to give opinions.
Bethany great, but I'm going to give an opinion because
I'm very I'm very disturbed and unhappy to see our guy,
(00:40):
our quarterback, Lamar Jackson, choosing to do what is now
I just saw a few minutes ago. Yeah, Diesel was
all over this this morning. He was like, gott to
see I gotta see you, gotta see it. I couldn't
find it at first. But Lamar Jackson has acted in
a TV show, Raisin Canaan, where he shoots a guy in.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
The head point blank. Yeah, in a men's room.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
And I don't know what the show is about. The
guy's doing drugs he walks in. I mean, I don't
I don't want to repost that path in it.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
So there are two issues here, and you can weigh
in on this seven to seven ninety six to two.
Begin your message with higher hate, or you can call
us eight hundred three two one thirty six ninety three. Okay,
So Lamar's in this TV show where he shoots someone
point blank in a bathroom and people are saying, first
of all, Lamar, how.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
About you can just win a super Bowl? How about back? Then?
How about exactly?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
And then other people are mad because he's a role
model and it's very clearly him.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yes, like we know, we know he's playing a character.
Well you see it's Lamar though, right, But little kids
don't know he's playing a character like they don't.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
And it's fine shooting people. It just it's really bad.
I'm sorry. I'm gonna make a point on this one. Yeah,
just because I saw it. It was visually upsetting. Yeah,
because it's like he represents our team.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I know, and our city. Oh. I don't like anything
about that. Ninety three point one WPOC traffic. It's all
about country music around here now.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Michael jasonsic city minute in sixty seconds.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
You gon't know, like you own music grow you know me.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
And you know Leslie Wallin happens to be Morgan Wallin's mom,
the mother who supported her son through piano lessons, Bethany.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Uh huh. Morgan started playing piano when he.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Was seven, as well as thirteen years of summer baseball. Okay,
after thirty years as a teacher. Did you know Morgan
Wallen's mom taught for thirty years?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Leslie considers it a complete blessing to work alongside her
son as program director for the Morgan Wallen Foundation.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
She gets to watch as the passions that she supported
throughout Morgan's childhood grow as pillars of the nonprofit's mission
increasing youth access to sports and music. What they do
is from every Morgan Walland ticket sold, three dollars from
that concert ticket.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Goes to good things. Oh that's cool.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
And with his two year One Night at the Time
tour confirmed as the highest grossing country music tour ever,
can you imagine the money that came.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
In for that charity.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
So they've been doing quite a bit of good.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
They've built ball fields, they have donated money all over
the place the Morgan Walland Foundation and she's very proud
to be administering this. They just gave a ball field
in Knoxville and you know, all over the place they're
donating millions of dollars.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
So I like to hear about I like to hear
about the country stars families and when they're giving back.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
That's I think it's very cool. So that is your
music City minute. Morgan Wallan's new album comes out on Friday.
You know he's doing some shows this summer. If you
ever get a chance to buy tickets, you'll know that
three eight dollars out of each one of your tickets
is going to a great cause. The WPOC ticket window
is brought to you by Gramophone.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I see it, hear it, live it. You got to
open the window. Let's get that one. Well, let's just
be careful. Can we get the window open?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Yeah it is now, it's well, it's taped. I can't
I can't break it today because there's there's duct tape.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
All over it. Somebody duct tape the window.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Ninth caller at eight hundred three two one thirty six
ninety three, You're going to see Old Dominion at Merriweather Post.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Ninety three point one WPO.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
An all time favorite from Lone Star. You're on ninety
three point one WPOC. Michael Jane Bethany. A few minutes ago,
we were talking about Lamar Jackson. He's got an acting
career that he's working on for some reason, and you know,
nothing against anybody who wants to branch out and try
different things. But he is the face of the Ravens.
(04:56):
There's no one even close to him as far as
being the face of the team. That's right, would you agree?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Oh? Of course, I'm not exaggerating. Yeah, right now.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Do you want the face of your team also being
seen as a thug who's in a bathroom with a
silencer on a handgun shooting a guy in the head.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yeah, I don't know. It's not great. I would think
that Ravens management might have a comment to say about that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I think before the before the clip came out, like
before the show came out, I think Harbob basically was like,
you know, do you want to act?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, but you still got to focus on the team, right.
But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I haven't seen any comments from the Ravens yet on this, right,
and they're gonna need to make one. Yeah, everybody's talking
about it. Someone Cowboy Mike said, does he act as
bad as he plays in the playoffs?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Oh, come on, I don't know. Listen, you can't start
a new career if you didn't finish the job.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I agree with you, but he does need to He
does need to focus on his football career. But you know,
I think the acting's okay as long as he's an I.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Just don't like the look. That's all. Well, that's somebody said,
Lamar chose to play that role.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I agree that as a role model, he should make
good choices on what he does and portrays. But he
also has the right that to do what will help
him grow. And like I hear, I hear you. I
like that comment because I.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Think you're right.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
If he always wanted to be an actor, right, go
ahead and try it.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I feel like you only get to be an NFL
quarterback for so long of your life, and then you can.
I think then you pivot. I the Manning brothers, right,
they like you know.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I cannot picture cal Ripken Jr. In that role being
a thug shooting somebody. You could, you can sure. I
feel like he easily could play.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
A bad guy.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
No, I'm not saying he couldn't do it. I don't
think he would have done it when he was an Oriole.
I'm saying, Oh, I don't know if I could see it.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah, yeah, because he was.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
The face equally of the of the Orioles, like like
lamar is.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I don't know. I to hear what Lamart thinks about it.
I know what Lamarty probably thinks. It's bad ass, Like
look at.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Me, man, did he think about I don't know. You
know the implications.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
It's interesting, right, we got Shelly Roll and then we're
gonna play a new game for Kenny Chess. Excited you

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Around my mind? I can't count the times you made
me feel like play me fo ninety three point one
wit poc Michael Jay and Bethany and I know how
she's good.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Quest for Jinny on ninety three point one w poc.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
So this is day one of our quest for Kenny.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
This is a big contest, guys, because this is a
big trip.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
All right.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
You're gonna get a trip to Las Vegas plane hotel,
getting tickets to go see Kenny Chesney at the sphere.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
This is exciting. Yes, So this is not going to
be it easy.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Okay, We're not gonna make this easy on you, okay, right,
So here's what we're gonna do. We've air quotes hidden
some tickets somewhere right where you can hear. If you
can hear w POC, it's open for us hiding the
tickets right, okay, With one pair of tickets hidden somewhere,
(08:26):
you have to virtually guess where they are.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Is that you have to actually guess where they.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Are, all right, So the tickets are real, you have
to call and really guess where.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
They are, right. I just want to make sure we
explain it correctly. Yah. The first couple of calls we got,
we're a little yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Well okay, So in other words, you don't actually have
to drive anywhere to find them, because we're going to
make it easier than that. You can just tell us
where they would be based on the clues.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
All right, trucks and there's black in a big suit. Okay,
that's a clue. That's the clue. Clue number one.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
You're gonna get another clue this morning at nine forty
nine forty all right, and another chance to call in
and guess.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
We'll be more more clues four clues a day until
somebody guesses where.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
The ts are.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
And we're gonna do it at seven forty and nine
forty here on the Michael J Morning Show with Michael
J and Bethany, and then.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Again at two forty in the afternoon, and then five
forty in the afternoon. So you have four chances to
guess where the tickets are every day, and sometime very
soon somebody is gonna win this. You'll put all the
clues together to figure out where the tickets are. All right,
I think we explained it correctly.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
I think so too soon. You got to be listening
now at nine forty this morning, ninety three point one
WPOC traffic.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
All right, So it looks like on the interloop at
seven ninety five that accident that has been moved to
the shoulder is really causing a delay there. Things are
backed up all the way to Baltimore National Pike. So
if you can steer clear innerloop right now, that would
be a good idea. All right, the accident on the
outer loop, but seventy has cleared, things are still stopping.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
And go back to seven ninety five.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
The accident on seventy eastbound between Roxbury Mills Road and
Sykesville Road. Right lane is still blocked there and things
are still backed up to Woodbine.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Now trending with Michael J and Bethany is powered by
Schuster Concrete. This report is.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Ninety three point one WPOC.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Almost everywhere went this weekend, people were talking about Carla Hayden.
She was the Librarian of Congress that got fired Thursday
in an email with no reason given. Wow, and people
are people are pretty upset about it.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
She's been the Librarian.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Of Congress since what twenty sixteen, I guess, and before
that she was a librarian here in Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (11:02):

The other news around the area that you need to
know about, Liberty Reservoir, one of the region's key water resources,
has dropped to its.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Lowest point in two decades.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Really, and because of that, because we get our water
from there, Baltimore Public Works officials are urging residents in
the city and the surrounding region to limit their water
use headed into summer. Okay, but I'll tell you, I
saw yesterday everybody was out with the hoses, you know,
squirting flowers off, you know, watering plants, that kind of thing.
(11:48):
The Department of Public Works issued a voluntary water restriction
last Thursday, asking all Baltimore residents, along with residents using
public drinking water services Baltimore County, Carrol Harford, Howard County,
to reduce consumption until further notice, as Liberty Reservoir, one
(12:09):
of the region's key water sources, has dropped to its
lowest point. Well, you know, we've had so much rain though,
and we're gonna have a lot of rain this week.
Wouldn't that help it, you would think, so. Yeah, So
hopefully we get enough.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Rain to film eighty three point one w POC traffic
is then I'm still taking a shower. There's some thank you,
We're not a cut. I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Okay, okay, there's an accident on the interlew but seven
ninety five moved to the right shoulder things or stop
and go back to Edmondson Avenue.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Seven ninety three point one did POC real quick.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
We got a call coming in curious if there's anyone
else there there like me, who does not know what
you guys look like. Oh, I would say, George Clooney,
who do you look like? Beth And if he hasn't
seen us, don't you think.
Speaker 1 (12:57):

Vince Vaughn. Yeah, and had gray hair. I feel like
you guys look kind of.
Speaker 3 (13:06):

a little pitch here for Bethany's brief.

read this morning that eighty three percent of gen Z
says that they can form a deep emotional.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Bond with Ai. Oh really, eighty three percent. It's a commuter,
it's not real, okay, to keep us in the loop
of entertainment and pop culture and the things we shouldn't
care about. But somehow we really knew. Ninety three point
one WPOC.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Morgan Walland finally has spoken out on his SNL exit.

him about it. He said, I was just ready to
go home. I'd been there all week.
