nice to these two guys.

Speaker 5 (00:49):
Wow, See this.

Crazy's got stink based on so Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
And today it's four days in a row.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Guys.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
This song really has been in my head and I
don't even know. I have no reason why.

Speaker 6 (01:03):
I've listened to a billion other songs during the day
and between all of these wake ups to Usher.

Speaker 7 (01:09):
It's just because I hadn't heard again.

Speaker 5 (01:10):
Maybe so it's just a record fort in row, I think.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
So. I can't remember when this has ever happened.

Speaker 5 (01:16):
So that's great, what if you never have another song
about this song that happens Spotify listen.

Speaker 7 (01:22):
Is gonna be so dumb after a while.

Speaker 5 (01:24):
That's head stuck.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
I want to repeat right now. This is why this kid.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Now, some people may not realize that even though we
started chronicling this about what two years ago, You've been
doing this for years.

Speaker 6 (01:38):
As long as I can remember, most of my life.
And for a while there, I would get up and
write the song in my journal because it was so
confusing to me that I kept waking up singing. And
then I just got used to it and I was like,
all right, well, and then bo decided he was just
gonna lean into it.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Well, So in all of the years of chronicling this,
do you ever remember this happening?

Speaker 8 (01:58):
I know?

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Okay, so there it.

Speaker 6 (01:59):
Isn't all in my life. Four days in a row
of the same song.

Speaker 5 (02:07):
That's usher. I meant to mispronounce that one.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Yeah, well, it is Monday, October twentieth.

Speaker 5 (02:22):
In the Taboys studio.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Bernie's back and Zochie's back, and the whole team is
back together. Everybody's back in the news newsroom right all
the mark and.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, everyone, here we go. I think he's going to
come back with a bad word.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
In a moment, So okay, so well let's see you later.

Speaker 5 (02:39):
Wow, she knows because she hears that song.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
Right, she knows it because she's heard that word several times.

Speaker 6 (02:45):
And I thought that if I thought maybe on Friday
it was just stuck in a loop because we didn't
play the whole song.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
I thought you were trying to get me to stop
talking so we can hear the hook.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
Like no, no, no, no, I don't want to hear this.
We'll get both fired.

Speaker 6 (02:56):
He starts ad libbing, and in the ad lib it's
not even there is one bad in his ad list.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
All the yep yep, yep, yep. Yeah, look at Bernie
now in his usher.

Speaker 7 (03:06):
I grew up with that.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Here's sures.

Speaker 7 (03:09):
Yeah, yeah, yeah for sure in the same vein, guys,
can we can we rewind back to the sports?

Speaker 6 (03:18):
The sports, the sports report. I didn't realize my microphone
was on.

Speaker 7 (03:21):
First of all, I saw your face and I was like, oh,
let's see what Beth, that's to say?

Speaker 5 (03:25):
Sorry, Billy Napier got the greatest coaching sports heard that
this weekend fired after a win?

Speaker 3 (03:32):
What happened?

Speaker 6 (03:33):
Did they did? They not listen to Good Morning BT.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
You think we have to explain why Beth loves Billy
Napier so much?

Speaker 4 (03:40):
Gosh, and now I'm trying to remember the whole story.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
I think we need to go back and find that that's.

Speaker 5 (03:45):
Something about some important position in coaching was available, And
you said, what about Billy Napier as a candidate?

Speaker 6 (03:51):
I think it was Alabama. I think it was Saban
was leaving Alabama.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
Okay, I know where it is. I can, I can
have it ready coming back from the break.

Speaker 6 (04:00):
But you guys made so much fun of me because
I was like, but what about Bill Napier? And both
of y'all steered at me like I had just said,
what about Shanaia Twain?

Speaker 7 (04:08):
Well, we didn't know.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
It's called Billy Napier. We said Bill Napier. We thought,
is that the name of one of our radio engineers?
I know somebody we used to work here was named Napier.
We were like naming all these coaches and said what
about Bill?

Speaker 6 (04:21):
Y'all were naming like some big star, superstar coaches. And
the fact that I knew Bill Napier's name, you'd.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
Watch like a Florida documentary or something.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
That's exactly right.

Speaker 6 (04:29):
I had watched a documentary I think it was in
the Tebou the Tim Tebow Days, maybe at Florida Urban
Meyer and Urban Meyer, I think that's who I was
thinking about. But instead, Billy Napier is the one that
came into my mind.

Speaker 5 (04:40):
And then one was under duress, like when you said
his name, he was like even then, like on the
verge of being fired, And no.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
He's been fired for So who do you think will
pick him up?

Speaker 5 (04:50):
Oh gosh, yeah, let's sheculate lobby.

Speaker 7 (04:53):
I'll be an assistant somewhere.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
I actually heard urban Meyer might be back in the
next for this job yesterday.

Speaker 6 (04:58):
Oh no way, no, Well, I kind of want Bill
Napier to be the new UNC coach.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
I kind of want him.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Wait, not urban Meyer, Lane Kiffins, that's what that's what
I heard.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
Urban Myer's on fire.

Speaker 7 (05:09):
I think would be a home run higher for Florida Lane.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
I heard in passing yesterday that the one job that
could pull Lane Kiffin away from Ole, Miss, which is
where he is now, is is Florida because he wants
to go and basically be the second coming of Steve Spurrier.

Speaker 5 (05:23):
So plus you guys haven't left anywhere in a little while.
That's true.

Speaker 7 (05:26):
He's about to do.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Now, you know, we have we have a big contest
the next three days on this show. And I purposely
waited until Bernie was back so we could fire this
thing up. But this is opening week in the NBA,
And yes, I do play this music on purpose because
tomorrow night, for the first time in several decades, the
NBA on NBC returns Wednesday night, the Charlotte Hornets return

(05:51):
as they open up at the newly renovated Spectrum Center
to take on the Brooklyn Nets. We have five pairs
of tickets to give away between now and and the
way we're gonna do this, Just like the famous contest,
name that fake Bowl, We're gonna name that fake Hornets.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Oh right.

Speaker 6 (06:10):
And the fun thing is is that Bo when we
were coming up with this, we were texting each other
back and forth, and.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
He wouldn't let me. He wouldn't let me come up
with any of them because he was like, I think
that you're the one we need to fool them.

Speaker 7 (06:20):
You're the catalyst stuff exactly.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
See, there's a just a just tons and tons of
obscure hornets dating back to nineteen eighty eight. And some
of these I made up like all together like fake people,
and then some of them are fake hornets, but they
might have played for other teams.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
We'll see.

Speaker 5 (06:38):
That's do you have bugsy mokes?

Speaker 4 (06:42):
Right, So we're gonna crank that up for the first
time at seven twenty and I think we might do
a round two in the nine o'clock hour today.

Speaker 5 (06:51):
Mick mulvaney is not with us today.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
He's traveling today, so we have some open space and
we have some tickets to give away, so we're gonna
have fun doing that. I think this is the first
time since we've been doing this show that we've gotten
Hornets tickets to give away.

Speaker 6 (07:02):
And I know that since I've been here for sure,
we haven't given away Hornets tickets. And by the way,
in honor of the NBC having basketball now at thirty Rock,
they have thirty rocks out front, these big boulders that
are painted to represent all thirty of the NBA teams,
and they had different artists that painted them and they're beautiful, fantastic.

Speaker 5 (07:24):
Yeah, thanks for bringing art sports, but make it art.

Speaker 7 (07:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Testosterone right out of the segment again.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Many Alabama is one of those programs that, immediately, I
don't care how good you have it, what team you're coaching,
whether they won a national championship, the Alabama coaching job
makes every single coach in the country say, wonder what's

(07:53):
happening there?

Speaker 5 (07:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (07:55):
What about Bill Napier?

Speaker 5 (08:01):
Could he be it?

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Can he come? Is it Napier?

Speaker 6 (08:11):
Wasn't he the Florida guy that had the T bow
and that whole, that whole really cool run.

Speaker 5 (08:17):
Yeah, but it was Urban Meyer. Urban kind of imploded.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
Who was he coach?

Speaker 5 (08:27):
Coach?

Speaker 4 (08:30):
How about Boomer Volcanon. Where's Dick Crumb when you really
need him?

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Ye hate y'all so much. So today it is my
great pleasure to formally introduce the new head coach of
the Florida Gators, Billy Napier.

Speaker 5 (08:47):
Billy Napier, I supposed about Trotman's Bill Napier.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
We're pals. I just I just call him Bill.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
You brought him up, and I knew he was a
Florida coach, but he's so non descript I wasn't sure
that he still was. So I looked up his record
eleven and fourteen and two years, so obviously top candidate
for the Alabama job. He would as soon not the script.
I wasn't answering because I think I think he's still there.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
Here's my favorite message James sent us. Send us an
email at GMBT show at WBT dot com.

Speaker 6 (09:17):
He said, y'all are messing with her. Perhaps not a
candidate for the head coach job, but kind of impressed
that she knew the name and got the school right.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
Because you watched the documentary or stuff from there, Probably
because she googled Urban Meyer was a little more central
in that the under the radar career of Billy Napier.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
Maybe that's how I know his name. But they kind
of look alike Bill Napier. We're pals. I just call
him Bill.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
You know burn Bowls.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
In your defense, you did not google it. You actually
knew that.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
I actually did know it.

Speaker 6 (09:59):
I did not google it. But it's Jim got the
Neil right on the head. I mean, he he, I did.
I watched the documentary on Netflix or something, or it
was like a thirty for thirty or something like that.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
But and now he doesn't have a job. Poor Bill.

Speaker 6 (10:15):
I feel like we should call him. I feel like
we should call him and talk to him. I think
he has some free time now. We could do a
little interview, find out how he's feeling now that he's lost.

Speaker 7 (10:23):
Second, I should start the call here, you have some
free times.

Speaker 5 (10:26):
This is right because he actually got fired yesterday, and
we weren't even sure when you said that a year
ago that he might have been fired then because his
record was so bad. It was boud to happen.

Speaker 6 (10:36):
When you said that in the sports cast. It's like
the one coach's name that I, for some reason to know.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
I will never forget him ever again, because anytime I
ever yesterday, when I heard the news, I immediately thought
about you.

Speaker 6 (10:48):
Well, yeah, I was sitting here listening to Jim's very
first sports report at six five this morning, six o
four this morning, and he's like, Billy Napier fired, what
I know?

Speaker 3 (10:56):
And I said it really loudly.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
I didn't.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
Finally happened.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
The long growing list of names that end up becoming
infamous names on this show, this show for reasons that
no one else would find them interesting but us. They
they they end up coming in this category.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
It's one of my favorite.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
I think Poka rest in peace.

Speaker 6 (11:15):
I think That's one of my favorite moments from this
show so far. That and the guy who confused us
or tricked us with his homemade lawnmower.

Speaker 7 (11:23):
Of sons, the sons.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
Yeah, and then and.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
Then we listened back to it. Oh and we still
didn't get it.

Speaker 5 (11:29):
Part of it listening. I think he quit listening to
the show because we were so stupid, and he's like,
I refused to listen this part anymore.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
The best part of that interview will always be like
he was. He was going and going and thought we
would eventually catch on, and we still didn't. He's like, okay, bye.

Speaker 5 (11:45):
Called back like forty five bits later and was like,
so the joke is it's my children.

Speaker 7 (11:50):
Yeah, sons.

Speaker 6 (11:52):
He came up with an acronym, and I was like,
I even picked up on that it spelled sons. How
great that you came up with an acronym that spells something.

Speaker 5 (11:58):
We're all drop our coffee mug, like you know, the
usual suspects.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
But then in the first go round it sounded like
us like on Tuesdays with the restaurant Report, but just
kind of like, oh, wow, you are a genius.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
I want to be your friend.

Speaker 6 (12:13):
You make things and It turns out he just made
people all of us can well a lot of us
can do that.

Speaker 5 (12:19):
He bade us look stupid.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
So Bill Napier is available and out there, and again
we have much to talk about. I haven't even talked
about the real big news today, the guy who very
much has a job because his team is I don't know,
four and three Dave Canalis and the Carolina Panthers, who
all of a sudden are alone in second place in
the NFC South and getting ready to play the one

(12:41):
and only Buffalo Bills this coming Sunday at Bank of America.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
Say they had a rough weekend, the Bills.

Speaker 6 (12:47):
They didn't play they I thought they were the ones
playing the Broncos, who played.

Speaker 5 (12:52):
The Broncos, those giants New York.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Come on, I was close, similar colors.

Speaker 7 (12:58):
I come back with similar team.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
They're from the Stagia and they're from the same stage.

Speaker 5 (13:02):
See the confusion that caused.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Do you see what happens when you have more than
one team in a state.

Speaker 5 (13:07):
You actually have three, two in one city.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
Yeah, it's funny. I was talking to my wife about
this yesterday. I said, they have She said, by coincidence,
we're talking she is there are three teams in New
York State, and I said, well, actually there's a there're
actually two teams in a stadium in New Jersey that
play there that represent New.

Speaker 7 (13:25):
York and already about to say this. Three in Florida.

Speaker 9 (13:27):
Two.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yeah, there's the Jacksonville Jaguar.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
I don't think he count Miami.

Speaker 5 (13:31):
I could feel Steve steering, is it Florida considered New
York though?

Speaker 6 (13:34):
What what's the third NFL team? What's the third NFL
team in in Florida?

Speaker 7 (13:38):
Jacksonville, Tampa Bay?

Speaker 3 (13:39):
In my oh, Tampa Bay. That's the one I was forgetting,
was Tampa Bay.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
I knew Miami number one in the NFC South and
so Baker Mayfield and company getting it done there. But
we have much to talk about on a busy Monday
here on WBT, and we mentioned Hornet's tickets coming up
starting at seven twenty. If you can name that fake
Charlotte Hornet, and there are a lot of names going
back to nineteen eighty eight. I had feel it in
some of these.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
I Bill Napier is one of the fake Cornets.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
Could be could be backed up Muggsy Bogues in nineteen nine.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
This is good Morning Beat.

Speaker 4 (14:14):
All right, two weeks from tomorrow election Day, and we
will be on the air at seven o'clock on election
night for several hours of election night coverage here in
the Charlotte area. Of course, many of these races have
been decided, but still some local races of interest to
cover for you in an off year election. But that's
when the focus becomes on the municipal elections and we

(14:35):
will see what the next wave of leadership for the
Charlotte area will be seven o'clock on election night. Hope
you'll join us. Then I want to start off on
your Monday talking about some national stories, because there was
a lot to get to this weekend, and it was
reported on Saturday Morning Trey Yanks to Fox News and
others reporting that the Israeli military was striking the Gaza

(14:57):
Strip after two separate Hamas attacks took place inside Israeli
controlled territory. And this of course would violate the ceasefire
ceasefire that was agreed to just last week, and a
lot of people have been wondering will this hold. And
President Trump said that this is going to go through phases,
but this is obviously not a good sign. Just days

(15:17):
after the agreement was put into place.

Speaker 6 (15:19):
Now and I was watching a report on NBC over
the weekend that the Israeli soldiers were attacking people Palestinians
who crossed a specific border. But she was making the
point that because of the destruction within Palestine, they don't
have internet access and a lot of people didn't know
about that particular line that they weren't supposed to cross.

(15:40):
So now the Israeli soldiers have physically marked that particular line.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
Vice President made some comments about the violation, the apparent
violation last night at Joint Base Andrews. We'll get to
that in a moment, but first, on sixty minutes last night,
the two architects behind the ceasefire deal, Steve Whitcock and
Jared Kushner, talking to Leslie Stahl about how the original
deal went down.

Speaker 10 (16:05):
I heard the President asked you what the chances were
for success?

Speaker 11 (16:09):
Yes, and you said one hundred percent. And he said,
why do you feel so confident? And I said, well,
we can't afford to fail.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
We just kept on thinking to ourselves, this finish line,
this finish line is about saving lives.

Speaker 10 (16:23):
Yes, Steve Whitkoff and Jared Kushner got to that finish line,
they say, using the intensely personal techniques of real estate
deal makers, dangling presidential promises, protections or punishments to get
Israel and Hamas to agree.

Speaker 11 (16:40):
We wanted the hostages to come out. We wanted a
real ceasefire that both sides would respect. We needed a
way to bring humanitarian aid into the people, and then
we had to write all these complex words to deal
with the fifty years of stupid word games that everyone
in that region is so used to playing. Both sides
wanted the objective and we just need to find a
way to help everyone get there.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
So that was the framework for the first deal. Now
that that deal has apparently seen some fractures in it
because of the attacks we just mentioned, Leslie still also
asking Jared Kushner what about that.

Speaker 10 (17:13):
Hamas now is using weapons to execute people that they
perceive as their enemies in Gaza, and they're also using
their weapons to re establish themselves as the entity that
is governing Gaza.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
They're moving into the vacuum.

Speaker 11 (17:30):
Hamas right now is doing exactly what you would expect
a terrorist organization to do, which is to try to
reconstitute and take back their positions, right, The success or
failure of this will be if Israel and this international
mechanism is able to create a viable alternative. If they
are successful, Hamas will fail and Gaza will not be
a threat to Israel in the future.

Speaker 4 (17:50):
Okay, So back to Joint Base Andrews. Last night, Vice
President Vance, before he got on the plane, was asked
about again this pass regarding the ceasefire.

Speaker 5 (18:02):
Well, look, it's gonna be complicated.

Speaker 12 (18:04):
I mean, it's the best case scenario, meaning if this
thing absolutely produces that sustainable, long.

Speaker 5 (18:10):
Term piece of the President. I hope that it will.
They're gonna be fits and start.

Speaker 12 (18:14):
They're gonna be you know, Hamas is gonna fire on Israel.

Speaker 7 (18:17):
Israel's gonna have to respond.

Speaker 5 (18:18):
Of course, there are gonna be moments where you.

Speaker 12 (18:20):
Have people within Gaza where you're not quite sure what
they're actually doing. So we think that it has the
best chance.

Speaker 5 (18:27):
For a sustainable piece.

Speaker 12 (18:28):
But even if it does that, it's gonna have hills
and valleys and we're gonna have to monitor the situation.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
So last week was such an eventful week with the
actual signing of the agreement, and now we're in that
mode where we sort of sit back and watch.

Speaker 6 (18:43):
I hope you have to wait and see and hope
that things do end up moving toward a place of stability,
in a place of reconstruction and a place that values people.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
And then, we of course said last week and it's
no secret that the other big looming problem that President
Trump and really the world has to watch and deal
with is the still going struggle between Ukraine and Russia.
And on Friday, Vladimir Zelenski was at the White House
meeting with President Trump. Met behind closed doors for a

(19:17):
long time, and you're hearing reports that have got pretty
heated behind closed doors, but in front of the cameras
it was fairly cordial. And then on Meet the Press yesterday,
Kristen Welker's featured guest was President Zelenski talking about, you know,
what's going to happen now the Gaza situation at least

(19:37):
has been you know, we see what's happening with the
escalations again, but you know there has been a deal
that's been signed. Now what about the other big conflict?

Speaker 13 (19:46):
You will push to go to Budapest.

Speaker 14 (19:48):
I'm ready, I'm ready, I said to President I'm ready.

Speaker 4 (19:52):
Okay.

Speaker 13 (19:52):
Part of President Trump's success with Israel and Tamas was
that he applied pressure to all all sides. Does President
Trump need to get tougher with President.

Speaker 14 (20:05):
Putin, Yes, and even more because Putin is something similar
but more strong than Hummus. It is more big a
war and he is the second army.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
In the world.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
And that's why more pressure President Zelensky. That was on
Meet the Press yesterday on NBC.

Speaker 6 (20:29):
Reports were coming out of that meeting suggesting that President
Trump told President Zelensky that he needed to basically accept
terms that President Putin has given, which is that's a
turn from some of the things that President Trump has posted.
If those reports are true that President Trump has posted
on social media saying that he you know, just recently,

(20:50):
I think it's been in within the month that that
President Trump posted on truth social that he believed that
Ukraine could take back the territory that has been consumed
by by Russia. It doesn't sound like the conversation went
as as well as either side was hoping. But you know,
we'll see what happens in Budapest.

Speaker 15 (21:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (21:11):
The White House meeting on Friday, behind closed doors, according
to The Financial Times, reported that Zelensky was Apparently, Trump
apparently told Zelenski that Russia would quote destroy Ukraine if
he didn't agree, and multiple sources told the outlet that
the meeting where Zelensky was hoping but ultimately failed to
secure long range Tomahawk cruise missiles quickly descended into a

(21:33):
quote shouting match with quote cursing all the time. So
if that's true, that's obviously not the news you want
to hear. But apparently that's what was going on behind
closed doors. The meeting that we saw but in front
of the cameras was once much more subdued. Have you
ever heard of surveillance pricing?

Speaker 3 (21:54):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (21:55):
And this freaks me out. Bo Thompson, I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna lie. Freaks me out.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
This is so Look, we've talked about rewards programs before
on this show. You partake, I partake, and I feel
like in some places it's it's very much worth it. Unfortunately,
for me, the place that I got the most bang
for my buck out of a rewards program, the place
no longer exists.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Now.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
I can open up my wallet right now, just in
case the rewards program ever opens back up. I do
have my Blockbuster card ready and willing if it ever
comes back.

Speaker 6 (22:27):
I think the Blockbuster Rewards program was before surveillance pricing
became a thing.

Speaker 4 (22:31):
I think the Blockbuster rewards program was made for me.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
I agree.

Speaker 6 (22:35):
Actually it was made for you and like that one
other guy who was like you that lived in Alaska.

Speaker 5 (22:41):
Yeah, or was it Bend, Oregon. That's the last Bend one.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:46):
So anyway, I'm on the outside looking in. But companies
say they are rewarding your devotion with points, discounts, and perks.
Now that's that's no secret that you know about that.
This is a Washington Post piece. But they say, behind scenes,
many are using these programs to monitor your behavior and
build a profile then charge you for what they think

(23:08):
you'll pay.

Speaker 6 (23:11):
So they are monitoring every time you swipe that rewards
card or type in your phone number, and they realize, oh,
every Tuesday, Beth goes in and buys an iced tea,
or Beth goes in and gets a bagel or whatever.
And then they start recognizing your habits and then basically

(23:32):
charging you for them in the name of a loyalty program.
And it sounds like what's happening is the rewards that
you get or the prices that you pay that are
quote unquote discounts may differ from person to person based
on this surveillance pricing apparatus. This sounds like a whole
spider web of offal. I'm tired of feeling surveilled. I

(23:55):
am tired of feeling tracked. I am tired. The other
day I was talking about like women's undergarments at a
at a lady's night.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
We just had a we had as one does, and
we had we had dinner together.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
I'm assuming so I don't know.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
We had a girl's night on Friday night.

Speaker 6 (24:13):
We were having dinner, my friends and I. We were
talking about ladies undergarments, and.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
When I got in the car, I had ads for
undergarments everywhere on social media.

Speaker 7 (24:25):
Because I'm being surveilled.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
But here's the thing. If you, I mean, if you
were to, you know, follow through on the ads, you
may get a different deal than your friend.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Yes, I might be paying twenty five dollars more for
a bra, and that really really gets my goat.

Speaker 7 (24:43):
You didn't know what to say about it.

Speaker 5 (24:44):
They don't even.

Speaker 6 (24:45):
I don't even. I don't want the surveillance anymore. I
don't want any of it.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
Anymore.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
I know.

Speaker 6 (24:50):
I got on a rent on Friday. In fact that
at the girl's dinner that we were at, my friends
pointed out that I got on a rant about social
media that I'm tired of all of it. I'm tired
of feel like it, feeling like I am being tracked
everywhere that I go. Not that I'm doing anything bad,
I'm not at all, But I'm tired of people snooping.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
So they spotted a startling pattern in the numbers. So
during the months when this person who wrote the wrote
the article here, during the months when I bought more coffee,
she says, the app offered me fewer promotions. Sure, I
was still collecting stars that I could use for freebies,
but the more loyal I was, the fewer actual discounts
I got.

Speaker 6 (25:27):
Now, see that's wrong, the fewer coupons you're getting. Like,
I just feel like we have gotten to a place
where people do not matter anymore. The only thing that
matters is profit. And I get I understand that we
are in a capitalistic country. But I know that and
I'm not saying that that's a bad thing, but the

(25:48):
capitalism part of it.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
But the thing that.

Speaker 6 (25:50):
Is bad is when you really do start putting profits
over people when you start like think about have you
ever been in an old house recently? And you look
at the structure and the arch texture of it, and
the design and the care and the detail, And then
you look at the houses built today, and so it's like,
willy nilly, we're gonna knock down all the trees and
put up a stickhouse made of toothpicks. And and you

(26:13):
can hear through the wall at your neighbor's house, like
you can hear the people working in their yard like
they might as well be mowing your carpet.

Speaker 4 (26:21):
Yeah, because it's just like a piece of cardboard.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
Right, like what has happened? When did we stop caring
about each other so much?

Speaker 4 (26:28):
Well, again, it all goes back to tracking what your
behavior is. So if you're in.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
Line, it goes back to the story we're talking about it.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
But if you're in line and you're not likely to
buy I don't know the what's something you buy in
Starbucks that you like to eat?

Speaker 3 (26:42):
I buy the unsweetened black shaken tea.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
Okay, So if you are likely to buy that, but
the person in front of you is not, they could
be shown a different price than you could be shown, or.

Speaker 6 (26:54):
A different coupon for an item. They might get a
coupon for a shaken black iced tea and eye I
won't get the coupon because they know I'm gonna buy
it anyway.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
And that's wrong. It's wrong.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
Personalized markups personally, that's where we are.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
It's like Minority Report.

Speaker 6 (27:10):
Do you remember that movie when Tom Cruise, like this
is twenty five years ago, walked into the mall. It
scanned his retina, and the ads and the promotions and
everything were targeted just for him. They're not scanning our
retinas yet, but they are targeting and maybe up charging
based on based on location, based on habits.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
No, no, I don't like it.

Speaker 4 (27:32):
Not a good place to be. Just take me back
to Blockbuster on Friday nights right, give you a free movie,
No three evening rentals, give both three evening mental termit.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
What if we drift out to sea?

Speaker 1 (27:47):
What if we're never heard from my cat? Listen? No
thing's good than happens. This is just the old thing.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
All right, that's tonight on Fox. And so the Dodgers
are waiting now to see who they play in the
World Series. I know this was late on a Friday
night and a lot of people were doing other things,
but I texted Beth on Saturday morning, what's going on?

Speaker 6 (28:55):
Vernie was laughed at because I'm trying a new perfume
today and I just.

Speaker 7 (28:58):
Look over and she just has her whole arm in
her It's.

Speaker 5 (29:01):
She is completely If I say sports, this is what happens.

Speaker 4 (29:07):
She starts smelling her own arms. Okay, so even all
all the more reason I said to you on Saturday morning,
I sent you a text and I said, this could
be the greatest feat in the history of sport.

Speaker 6 (29:18):
Like the greatest sports moment, and he said, and most
people missed it. Because it happens on a Friday night.

Speaker 4 (29:25):
Happened on a Friday night. It was on cable, it
was on TBS. You're probably out doing other things. You
probably heard about it. But I just I just want
to give it its proper due.

Speaker 5 (29:33):
Here we go.

Speaker 17 (29:34):
Dodger Stadium starts to stand lit.

Speaker 5 (29:38):
Two pitchs got.

Speaker 17 (29:40):
Him swinging, put them away with the sweeper and after
the lead off walk, Old Tony then strikes out the
side in the top of the first Now he runs
to the top step of the Dodger dugout.

Speaker 5 (29:52):
He's got to get ready to lead.

Speaker 17 (29:53):
Off the bottom half old count and now King Tana's
payoff pitch. Old Tony tays off deep brightfield. Show hey,
Old TONI one of one. Now in the driver's seat.
Three balls in one strike. The right hander Patrick deals
an old Tani towering wall, high drive, bright field.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
He's done it again.

Speaker 17 (30:21):
Show hal Tani to the top.

Speaker 5 (30:23):
Of the pavilion and.

Speaker 17 (30:25):
Right field four hundred and sixty nine feet, the longest
home run at Dodgers Stadium this year.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
For nothing.

Speaker 17 (30:36):
Dodgers in Game four, on a one to two terrain,
strikes out swinging, sits him down with a splitter back
to that case to open the sixth and four in
a row.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
He's up to ten.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
Oldtani leaves to a standing ovation.

Speaker 17 (30:57):
Six shutout innings, ten strikeouts, two home runs, So Old
Tony has to take time. He steps back in one
ball in two strikes, A big Righty McGill sets on
the mound.

Speaker 5 (31:10):
Here's the pitch, and o'dani drives one plif.

Speaker 18 (31:13):
Center field dig you don sho, Hey, Old Tony, the
stuff of legend.

Speaker 17 (31:26):
First pitch hit in the ear right field paus going
back on the warning track, he.

Speaker 5 (31:31):
Makes the catch.

Speaker 7 (31:32):
Ballgame series.

Speaker 18 (31:34):
The Dodgers are going back to the World Series.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
So that was a collection of highlights from one guy.
And so only twelve hitters had ever hit three home
runs in a postseason game. Only twenty six pitchers had
ever recorded ten plus strikeouts, two or less hits and
no runs in a postseason start. Show Hey, o Tony
did both in the same game on Friday night.

Speaker 6 (32:03):
Can I just say, actually, baseball the way to consume
a baseball game, either live.

Speaker 7 (32:09):
Or radio, could not agree more.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
Hunh Radio way better than a TV broadcast when it
comes to baseball. Just the sound of that ball hitting
the bat, that in and of itself is worth the listen.
What a great noise.

Speaker 4 (32:21):
But we're lucky enough to say that we grew up
watching Michael Jordan right, play baseball, play no play, play basketball. Yes,
and my point is is that we grew up watching
one of the greatest of all time this thing on
Friday Night. Like, I'm glad he plays with the Dodgers.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
Now.

Speaker 4 (32:35):
I know there's a whole talk about an embarrass you know,
they have too much in their ruining baseball, But nobody, ever,
nobody saw him when he played for the Angels. Now
he's playing for the Dodgers, and so he's in the postseason.
He's gonna be in the World Series again. But this
you know, Babe Ruth famously hit all those home runs
and he was a pitcher. But this guy, uh, you know,
we talked about what Travis Hunter being a two way
player in the NFL, but you're never going to see

(32:57):
a guy like this in baseball ever again.

Speaker 5 (33:00):
Maybe I don't know.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
It's arguable, zoke that it's the greatest performance in sport,
as we like to say, but it's it's in the conversation,
no doubt.

Speaker 5 (33:08):
I don't know what would be better honestly baseball for sure,
in any sport possibly I would say as well, because
of the way he did it, and it was a
playoff game, so it wasn't like a regular season game.
Three home runs, strikes out, ten pitches, six shoutings, gonna
give two hits during the time he was pitching out there,
and it's the clinching game for the nash League Championship Series.
We happen to be home, and I've watched, you know,

(33:29):
some of the baseball postseason, but this one I just
happened to catch, basically from the beginning because of the
time that came on, and it was watching him hit
all three homes the second one left the stadium, and
I'm thinking, I am watching like the kind of stuff
they'll talk about for decades, Like this game this couple
hours is like like watching live history unfold. I know,

(33:49):
it's not like, you know, the biggest thing on the planet,
but it is baseball and it is postseason, and I
thought that was kind of cool. And he is such
an icon overseas. I mean, just the following that he
has when he was with the Angels is amazing. And
I hate teams that have big pay rolls because they
have a better chance to win. They can stack their lineups.
But then you see what he does and you go, Okay,
this guy. There's not enough money in the world in

(34:11):
baseball to give this guy what he deserves.

Speaker 4 (34:14):
So I know, you know it's it's Monday morning and
Friday night was agent ancient history. But I I when
that happened, I said, we got to talk about this
on Monday and give it its due because the World
Series is still we still don't know who's going to
be the He's gonna play the Dodgers. We're waiting for
that after Game seven tonight. But that that right there
is an all time performance. Yeah, we wear it proudly.

Speaker 5 (34:34):
It's funny because Yobo knows. I love to say the
world of sport because it just sounds so important. As
we're driving into a Newark on the bus uh from
the airport for the Panther game. As we come in,
there's all the different buildings and then there's a Dick
Sporting goods off to the right, but it's it's called
Dick's House of Sport. Dick's House of Sport, And that
was funny to me on so many different levels. Copyright

(34:56):
I almost sent a picture of it.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
The copyright that sounds like a Chip and Dale.

Speaker 5 (35:01):
It just sounds so wrong and so funny, and but
in big letters on the side of a building. It
wasn't like an ad on the newspaper. It sounds like, oh, man, yeah,
he's for a bachelorette party, or you headed off to
pick up some and hockey pucks.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Jersey wear.

Speaker 19 (35:21):
That crown just wanted to say hey and thoroughly enjoy
the show.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
Thank you for taking the time to call in.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Well, y'all keep doing great.

Speaker 5 (35:29):
Yeah, thank you man, keep on keeping on.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
This is good morning, beauty. It's boon and pers all right,
where is he?

Speaker 3 (35:37):
He'll be here, I hope.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
So I have my replication to think of, you know,
and give things a lot of time.

Speaker 13 (35:45):
One thing, Jeff, look having much sincerity as far as
you I can see.

Speaker 4 (35:51):
You may be staring. You're right in the face. He's
just the wrong color.

Speaker 6 (35:55):
I don't know if I am new to this. I haven't.
This is but I don't. I didn't know about this story.
But it's something that I want to bring to everyone's
attention because I think this is important for anybody taking
kids out trick or treating this Halloween. It is called
the teal Pumpkin Project. Have you, gentlemen, heard about this
or seen this? Have you seen teal pumpkins on people's

(36:19):
porches along with the regular like jack o' lanterns.

Speaker 15 (36:22):
No.

Speaker 4 (36:22):
When I read this, I thought, Okay, here's what I have.
This happens in my neighborhood.

Speaker 5 (36:28):
Other neighborhoods.

Speaker 4 (36:29):
Like when you go trick or treating, if you're an adult,
excuse me, and you see a pitchfork, you know what
that means.

Speaker 12 (36:37):
No, Not a.

Speaker 7 (36:37):
Pitchfork means I think I've heard that was the drinks
for the parents.

Speaker 4 (36:40):
Phitchfork means that if you're trick or treating. Not in
every neighborhood, but I know neighborhoods, including my own, where
if there's a pitchfork, it means they have trick or
treat items for the kids. And if you're an adult
with you know, taking the kids trick or treating, that
there might be a little something something for you in
a libation.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
Oh like a jello shot or exactly. No, I never
heard that either. Where have I been. I've been triggered
treating in the wrong neighborhoods.

Speaker 4 (37:04):
Apparently I got pitchforks and different color pumpkins. Now, well, I.

Speaker 6 (37:08):
Didn't know about this, but guys, I love it, and
I'm going to be aware of it now. I probably
maybe have seen it and just thought people were, you know,
color coordinating their pumpkins to their you know, I don't know,
porch furniture or something, but the Teal Pumpkin Project actually
helps make Halloween safer and more inclusive by signaling that
non food treats are available.

Speaker 3 (37:30):
For children who have food allergies.

Speaker 6 (37:33):
Isn't that remarkable You put a teal pumpkin out on
your on your porch, and then kids who have food
allergies know that they have an item that's safe for them.
I don't know what the non food item is. I
hope it's not like dental floss or a toothbrush. But
although I love those things, weighbor as it an adult,
but as a kid not really.

Speaker 4 (37:49):
Just about every neighborhood has a dentist that lives in
the neighborhood that gives out toothpaste. And I mean because
when I was a kid, that was kind of cool.

Speaker 5 (37:58):
I liked that.

Speaker 4 (37:59):
But then again, if everybody, if every other one's giving
those out like that. If it's just one.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
As an adult, I love it.

Speaker 7 (38:06):
But as long as there's one, just one does that.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
He was a dentist and he actually was our next
door neighbor, and he gave away very cool toothbrushes, and
I mean they were you know, I mean it was different.
I give now, Look if everybody gave him away, really
I'm getting short changed on the candy supply.

Speaker 6 (38:22):
Well, you know, I was thinking about this last year
because you know, we trick or treat with our niece
every year, and I was thinking about the fact that
we buy those gigantic bags.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
I was just at Costco this weekend.

Speaker 6 (38:31):
You know, you get those gigantic bags of Costco candy
and it's the big candy, and in almost all of
those bags are Almond Joys, Snickers, Reese's peanut butter cups,
so all like, what what candies do kids eat if
they have nut allergies?

Speaker 3 (38:45):
I hadn't, really, you know, I didn't. I don't have children.

Speaker 6 (38:48):
But I also never had a nut allergy and I
didn't grow up in a time when it seemed like
anybody had nut allergies. You know, we were all eating
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
But you know, I was.

Speaker 6 (38:57):
At an Ascent soccer match just a few weeks ago
and the guy that is working as my spotter was
about to open a just a little thing of peanut
butter cookie or peanut butter crackers, and before he opened them,
he asked me, he said, do you have a nut allergy?
I said, okay, if I eat these? And I thought, oh,
my gosh, you are the sweetest person. But he's also
way way younger than I am. He's in his twenties

(39:18):
and probably grew up with people who who had the
nut allergies and they couldn't bring peanut butter sandwiches, you know,
and things to work. And I just thought that was
the loveliest thing that he asked me that before he
opened his crackers.

Speaker 4 (39:28):
Yeah, it definitely seems like a thing that has become
a thing since we've gotten older.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
Yes, I don't remember it at all as a child.

Speaker 4 (39:35):
When my kids were going through grade school, it was
a thing and you had to be careful about it.
And when you had birthday parties, you had to make
sure that you you to make sure that you were
cognizant of what the materials were or at least that
you gave that disclaimer to anybody that you invited. You know,
when you and I were kids, I feel like the
thing that we always used to worry about with Halloween
candy was like would there be like a needle in one?

Speaker 7 (40:00):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (40:00):
Now now I feel like it's more like is it
laced with something? Or you know, the concerns as as
time marches on get different. But when we were kids,
it was all about like you were going to break
open a a Snickers bar and there was going to
be like a syringe.

Speaker 6 (40:15):
Well, they used to do you remember before before nine
to eleven, they would let you come bring your candy
to the airport and run it X machine, yes, to
see if there was any freezer blades or needles in it.
But now like we have gotten so thoughtful that there
is a project where you can put a teal pumpkin
on your front porch and let people know that you

(40:38):
have something available for people who have food allergies.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
I think that that's a really lovely thing.

Speaker 6 (40:44):
And I had not noticed these pumpkins, but you better
believe I'm going to notice them now.

Speaker 4 (40:49):
And they're they're they're painted teal, Like that is just
just solid. Because that's the other thing is I feel like,
I don't know. I mean, this is a bit of
a tangent, but we were talking the other day about
the the industry.

Speaker 5 (41:02):
It is.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
It's one thing, you know, we get used to people.
You see signs around the area that say, hey, call
this number for professional holiday decorations. Now that's crept into
Halloween decorations and it's not just like, uh, make make
your porch look scary, and now you're getting into these
these on these picturesque scenes where your front walk and
your front porch looks like a pumpkin patch.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
Yes, or a graveyard with like smoke.

Speaker 7 (41:27):
I've seen them. There's a lighting There's a lady in
Texas who just does this as her job for two
months out of the year and she makes six figures
just going around and organizing pumpkins for people's yard.

Speaker 4 (41:37):
Same thing, same general, same general area as people who
during a certain time of year can go make big money,
uh decorating and getting you know, a college co ed's rooms.

Speaker 3 (41:51):
Ready, I'm not a spatial thinker.

Speaker 6 (41:53):
I I would totally do that as a side job
if I had any creative bones in my body.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
Somebody would pay me, and I'd just like scatter.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
And there's a lot of guys making big money decorating
houses for Christmas. Yes, they did a story on one
guy who just decided to start doing it, and he's
laughing all the way to the bell.

Speaker 5 (42:15):
Oh yeah, yeah, I mean.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
My husband could do that.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
Mark.

Speaker 6 (42:18):
He's meticulous and he hangs he hangs our lights like
a boss and could totally.

Speaker 4 (42:23):
Well get ready because I'm about to have some stories too,
because we aren't traditionally lights hangers around our house. Oh
you're hanging lights other than the tree. But last year
I went to the to the home depot the day
after and bought up all these lights.

Speaker 5 (42:37):
So I'm Clark riswalding it this year?

Speaker 3 (42:38):
Are you going to use their staple gun?

Speaker 5 (42:40):
You know it?

Speaker 20 (42:41):
You know it, you know it, mister Griswold, big man,
big man with a gun.

Speaker 4 (42:48):
Okay, So when we come back, it is round number
one of our brand new contest for Hornets opening night tickets.

I think you're right, Pete. All right, Pete, so this
is gonna be fun for you. You're an old school
Hornets fan. You got a name. I'm gonna give you
three names. One of them is a fake hornet, meaning
God could have played for another team but not the Hornets.
Or it can be just a name. I thought, I
just make out.

Speaker 5 (45:56):
Of thin air. I can't choke on this.

Speaker 8 (45:59):
Got to get it.

Speaker 3 (46:00):
You gotta get it right, Pete. I believe in you.

Speaker 4 (46:02):
Okay, So here we go, Pete, round number one. You
gotta get too, as always on this show. Here is
hornet number one, Sidney low Hornet number two Todd Fuller.

Speaker 5 (46:16):
You're gonna sense a theme here, Bernie.

Speaker 4 (46:17):
Or hornet number three Tom Googliata. Which of those three
did not play for the Charlotte Hornets Sidney Lowe, Todd
Fuller or Tom Googliata Sidney low.

Speaker 5 (46:30):
Oh, Pete, it was Tom Googliata.

Speaker 8 (46:34):
Oh my god, I can't believe that.

Speaker 5 (46:36):
Well, so a minuet. Guys, Wait a minute, Wait a minute.

Speaker 4 (46:39):
So Sidney Lowe played for the Hornets in nineteen eighty nine,
Todd Fuller nineteen ninety nine, Tom Googleada.

Speaker 5 (46:46):
Googleada never did.

Speaker 4 (46:47):
But you know what, you know what. You corrected yourself.
Hang on, hang on, don't be you corrected yourself. I'm
gonna give you a mulligan. I'm gonna give you that one.

I'm gonna say, George.

Speaker 4 (47:29):
Wall George z Dick was a hornet in nineteen ninety five.

Speaker 5 (47:36):
Yea, I remember, you're hornet man.

Speaker 4 (47:39):
Okay, So that was one of those where I made
it him up all together. Zeke Sampson never played for
the Hornets. Never played because he's not a real person.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
That's actually a good one.

Speaker 4 (47:47):
I bet he's a real person somewhere, well, yeah, somewhere somewhere.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (47:51):
Ralph Sampson's third cousin.

Speaker 4 (48:00):
And that's Pete wanted.

Speaker 3 (48:05):
No, Pete was. Pete was our first contestant.

Speaker 4 (48:08):
So this is different than the usual contest and that
I'm going to retire the group each time.

Speaker 3 (48:13):
Yeah, guys, you kind of have to. Boy, you had
to write and write and write for.

Speaker 5 (48:17):
This was fun. This was fun. Op Steven write these
for him.

Speaker 4 (48:20):
Kevin Kevin's online number two, Kevin, Welcome to good morning
BT and good morning all right, Kevin. You know how
this works?

Speaker 1 (48:27):
Right?

Speaker 4 (48:28):
Oh yeah, name that fake hornet?

Speaker 5 (48:30):
Here we go.

Speaker 4 (48:31):
Hornet number one, Eddie Robinson. Hornet number two, Rumeal Robinson.
Hornet number three Robinson Pettigrew.

Speaker 8 (48:44):
Oh wow, name the first one again.

Speaker 4 (48:46):
Eddie Robinson, Rumeal Robinson Robinson Pettigrew.

Speaker 8 (48:53):
Oh god, I don't ever remember of Petty Crew unless
he was way down on the fan.

Speaker 5 (48:58):
All right, stop while you're ahead.

Speaker 4 (49:00):
Robinson Pettigrew is a fake person. You are correct?

Speaker 1 (49:03):
All right?

Speaker 4 (49:04):
You gotta get two.

Speaker 5 (49:06):
I just say I forgot we had with Meil Robinson Michigan,
right right.

Speaker 3 (49:10):
Did yell here? Kevin? He just went.

Speaker 4 (49:11):
Sweet, all right? And you old schoolers know this was
the music for Super Hugo back in the the new
Charlotte Coliseum. That's gone now.

Speaker 5 (49:22):
And you do the dunks off the trampoline. Try.

Speaker 3 (49:24):
I loved his little shoes. They he looked like he
was wearing ankle sock.

Speaker 4 (49:27):
I missed the big blimp, all right, So Kevin, Kevin,
can you hang on? We got we gotta go to
a break, but you're halfway home?

Speaker 5 (49:33):
Can you hang sure?

Speaker 8 (49:35):
All right?

Speaker 4 (49:36):
Hang on, Kevin, name that fake hornet. Zokie's gonna love
the next one.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
This is good morning, Beatty.

Speaker 5 (49:44):
All right.

Speaker 4 (49:45):
When we last left our hero Kevin line number two,
he was halfway to winning hornets tickets to the opener
on Wednesday night by naming that fake hornet. You're new
to the contest. I give you three possible hornets, one
of which is fake, I said to Kevin. I said,

(50:05):
Cody Zeller, George, No, that's the other one. We want
to do here Eddie Robinson, Rumil Robinson, and Robinson Pettigrew hornets.
Fans know that Robinson Pettigrew never existed, all right, So Kevin,
let's get back to the game. Here, are you still
in the line with us.

Speaker 8 (50:25):
I am, I am. I'm hoping the first two answer
for going to be Grandmama and Alanto Morning Grandma.

Speaker 5 (50:32):
That would be Clary Johnson. That would be a little
too easy there.

Speaker 4 (50:35):
But if you know those really, okay, Kevin, if you
know those two, then you should know this all right.
Here are the three potential Hornets. Number one, armand Gilliam
Number two, Kendall Gill. Number three Gil McGregor.

Speaker 8 (50:53):
Okay, Kim McGill definitely played McGregor. I've never heard of him.
He had to be a bench player. I think gil
Gilmore played for like a year. I think gilmager.

Speaker 4 (51:08):
See you are correct, sir. However, Gil McGregor is not
a fake person. He's very much an important part of
the Hornets organization because he and Steve Martin were the
first ever radio team for the Charlotte Hornets. And Gil
McGregor a big star out of Wake Forest University. So
Gil McGregor is a he's very much part of Hornet's lore,

(51:29):
but never played for the Charlotte Hornets. So you are correct,
and you win a pair of tickets to Wednesday Nights
home opener. Congratulations, Kevin. Awesome, there you go good and great.
That's a Gil McGregor is oh man, Gil McGregor, so Armin,
Gilliam Check, Kendall, Gilcheck and Gil McGregor didn't play for

(51:51):
the Hornets, but he called their first.

Speaker 5 (51:53):
Ever great basket. Great guy with Steve Martin. Yeah, great guy.

Speaker 4 (51:56):
And see that's the thing here, like sometimes there's these
are these are fake people all together, and sometimes they're
kind of sly like that.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
Say that's slippery.

Speaker 5 (52:04):
It is, that's slippery, sly, it's slippery. No pests, but
puss I hat that was out of the room for
that great moment in radio history.

Speaker 4 (52:13):
So Kenvin is taking care of his tickets now with
Sir Steven of Anthony seven O four five seven oh
eleven ten named that fake hornet for Hornets tickets Wednesday
night against the Brooklyn Nets at the newly renovated, the
Transformed If you will, Spectrum Center, there's a place and
a taste for everyone.

Speaker 12 (52:33):
I have a.

Speaker 5 (52:33):
Request during the course of this week, when we're giving
away tickets at some point with the music Feds, can
we do the Jason Sadakis give me give me the basketball.
Yeh yeah, yeah, yeah, I love I love that.

Speaker 4 (52:43):
So it makes me laugh every single time. Every time
your wish is my command?

Speaker 5 (52:48):
Just not right now? No, I definitely do it during
the course of the week. I'm getting a lot of
heads up here. Yes, it could be Wednesday.

Speaker 4 (52:53):
Yes, okay, while we're waiting for the phone lines to
populate here seven oh four, five, seven oh eleven, ten,
we have another payer, guys, we have we actually.

Speaker 5 (53:01):
Have four more pairs. They're slippery, not all, not all today,
but we'll be doing that.

Speaker 4 (53:06):
And you know, for example here, you don't even put
Zochie on the spot.

Speaker 5 (53:10):
I got the first ones, right. I don't know if
I'll know this one now because I pick a tough one.

Speaker 4 (53:15):
Now, okay, let me.

Speaker 3 (53:16):
Go, reallyer, can Zochie win the tickets?

Speaker 5 (53:19):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (53:19):
I said, yes, okay, this is actually this will be
fun for Zochie. One of these is a fake Charlotte Hornet.
All right, Bernie, this will be fun for you as well,
was it you understand why?

Speaker 5 (53:33):
I know who Grandmama was, but you're a tar here.

Speaker 4 (53:38):
Rodney Monroe, Chucky Brown, Charles Shackelford. These are all Wolfpack
players from the same era.

Speaker 5 (53:50):
Did we ever have Rodney Monroe.

Speaker 21 (53:53):
Form part of Pall?

Speaker 4 (54:01):
No? This was fire and ice with Corciani.

Speaker 7 (54:03):
No, yeah, I know I'm gonna go shackle for Roddy Monroe.

Speaker 5 (54:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (54:08):
Jim Zoki is correct. Rodney Monroe never played for the
Charlotte Hornets. Chuckie Brown played for the Hornets in the
year two thousand and Charles Shackelfer played in nineteen ninety nine.

Speaker 5 (54:19):
Yeah, what.

Speaker 6 (54:22):
This is, I don't know what it is about. Like,
whenever you just start saying sports names, my brain literally
thinks that you're speaking another language. It won't soak in anything.
If I could why you're sp your armpits, If I
could have, If I could, I couldn't even remember the
first one that you said by the time you got
to the third one, and so it just becomes like

(54:44):
a jumble of words. You could be saying all of
this in French and it would make as much sense
as it does to me.

Speaker 4 (54:49):
Right, you don't remember the Hornets Great Robinson Pettigrew.

Speaker 3 (54:53):
No I knew an Oli Pedigrew once.

Speaker 5 (54:55):
Or Zeke Samson.

Speaker 6 (54:56):
I do like I kind of want to meet Zeke Samson.
There's got to be a Zeke Sampson out there that
lives out in the Charlotte area that listens to this
show that could give us a call.

Speaker 4 (55:04):
Well, we have more tickets to give away as the
show goes on seven oh four, five, seven oh eleven ten.
We'll continue the contest as we get closer to the
tip off for not just the NBA with the Charlotte
Hornets on Wednesday night at the Spectrum Center. It's almost
eight o'clock.

Speaker 3 (55:18):
Oh yeah, okay, well we'll take this home run through
them with a fine tooth comb cross the t's and
dotty floor case.

right now. We're giving away Hornets opening night tickets.

Speaker 5 (56:29):

are using a lot of the local APC players that
it's hard to remember that they played for the hornet
for his local team.

Speaker 4 (59:17):
I'm also I'm also making it difficult because you could
barely hear me through the static.

Speaker 3 (59:20):
Yep, just recognizing your skill.

Though.

Speaker 5 (59:24):
This is a huge it's like a World War two phone.

don't know why it applies here.

Speaker 1 (01:02:35):
But.

Speaker 4 (01:02:49):
Well that's true. I'm catching up on some texts here
from the WBT text lines driven by a liberty U
a GMC where there is no static Right now, I
said this morning, y'all, this is Mark says had to share. Wait,
hang on, yeah, I had to share a funny thing today.
I pulled a Beth this morning. Woke up and had
this song in my head. Why no idea? Love the show?

Speaker 5 (01:03:13):
Mark?

Speaker 3 (01:03:13):
Oh? Mark?

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
Brittany just played that moment back like poor Dave because

But I met like what he eats at the stadium
because apparently at the Spectrum Center now they are all
kinds of new food items, and I wanted to know
what he eats.

We were trying to tie it all together.

Speaker 5 (01:03:56):
As I've said you before, you.

Speaker 3 (01:03:57):
Use all of your words, right, hell us back and
tell us what you eat?

Speaker 4 (01:04:01):
David?

Speaker 5 (01:04:02):
What what taste?

Speaker 3 (01:04:04):
For everybody? Sorry, I get back is even better because
you guys are just.

Speaker 5 (01:04:09):
Like what what Dave? What are your rituals?

Speaker 11 (01:04:14):
Ah?

Speaker 5 (01:04:15):
Boy?

Speaker 4 (01:04:15):
So we have some things to get to here. Hey,
the Panthers are four and three. WBT Sports director now
Jim Zochie is here calling the game. Yesterday we got
Buffalo coming. Buffaloes come will come calling, as Bill Razinski
love to say, coming up next Sunday at Bank of
America Stadium. And hey, you know, second place all by
ourselves in the NFC South. This is unchartered territory in recent.

Speaker 5 (01:04:37):
History for this team. This is the latest in a
season we've been above five hundred since twenty nineteen. Wow,
four three.

Speaker 3 (01:04:45):
Wait, who's first right now?

Speaker 7 (01:04:46):
In our conference?

Speaker 5 (01:04:47):
Tampa Bay and they played tonight. We can't catch them yet.
They're five to one.

Speaker 3 (01:04:51):
They have Mayfield, We got Baker, Yeah, Mayflower.

Speaker 4 (01:04:56):
So a big story coming out of yesterday. Now, look,
Andy Dalton is a very fine back up.

Speaker 5 (01:05:01):
We know that.

Speaker 4 (01:05:02):
So he came in yesterday and he writes the ship
or steers the ship, keeps it going. Dave Canalis on
the condition of Bryce.

Speaker 22 (01:05:09):
Yeah, Bryce, we're evaluating him for the right ankle. So
we're taking all the information and we're gonna look at
him and get home some more and see where we're at.

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
We'll let you we'll twisted it.

Speaker 15 (01:05:18):
Maybe David trying to avoid the set.

Speaker 22 (01:05:20):
Yeah, on that long third down. Yeah, I was trying
to get out of trouble there and got caught up
a little bit. So we'll update you as soon as
we have, you know, more information.

Speaker 4 (01:05:26):
Of course, he will have his news conference today. That
was right after the game of course you were. You
guys were on the network on the wrap up show
and everything. Anything further on Bryce this morning, No, not yet.

Speaker 5 (01:05:37):
I mean they'll and they don't have to talk in
detail about statuses until Wednesday as far as players injuries go.
But we record our Panther talk show on Monday, so
if I have, you know further, they they do X
ray MRI at the stadium and then they'll do one
here when they get back into town, which obviously probably
is happening this morning, is my guest. But from what
he said, what others who spoke to him, like Rico

(01:05:58):
Dowdle spoke to him, as somebody else said, it doesn't
seem to be significant. Like literally on Panthers dot com,
the term was, it doesn't appear to be a significant injury,
which means will be short term. What that means zero games,
one game, two games, whatever. It doesn't sound like it's
like a six week thing or something like that.

Speaker 6 (01:06:13):
For for for folks who missed the game yesterday, how
did it happen?

Speaker 7 (01:06:18):
You mean folks?

Speaker 5 (01:06:19):
Yeah, for the book readers out there, For the book readers,
he was sacked and then kind of the way his
foot kind of you know, got stuck in the turf
a little bit, was a different direction than he was falling,
and it's almost like somebody kicked him in the back.

Speaker 3 (01:06:31):
Of the how far into the into the game.

Speaker 5 (01:06:34):
Late late third quarter? It was almost the end of
the third quarter.

Speaker 4 (01:06:36):
Okay, So here's Andy Dalton about page eighty two of
your book. Here's Andy Dalton in the locker room after
the game yesterday.

Speaker 9 (01:06:44):
Yeah, there's a lot of different ways to win a game.
And defense stepped up big today. And I mean j
C with a couple of interceptions, had a lot of sacks.
Guys you know, held them and at the end made
plays when we needed to. And so it's like I said,
they come in all different ways, but wins or wins,
and you're going to celebrate them all.

Speaker 19 (01:07:06):
And then you're in this league with the significance of seeing
Ready when Bryce went down.

Speaker 5 (01:07:09):
For your mind, oh I was.

Speaker 9 (01:07:11):
I mean, you hate that something happens to Bryce, But
I mean that's why you want to play this game.

Speaker 5 (01:07:16):
You know, you get opportunities and go out there.

Speaker 9 (01:07:18):
And have fun, especially like where I'm at in my career,
I'm just enjoying every time it gets to be out there.

Speaker 4 (01:07:22):
Well, and like Jim said, he may or may not
be needed next week, but it's about the same time
he came in to play last year, although the circumstances
are so much different now than they were then. You know,
that was a benching of Bryce, and this is because
Bryce went down. But you know, I don't think there's
a single Panther fan that had any angst about Andy
Dalton being slotted in yesterday. It reminds me of the

(01:07:43):
days when the Panthers were all back in the Derek
Anderson days. You've got a backup who's been here and
done that, and when something happens, you're not worried when
he comes in. He's the perfect guy for us, I think,
seasoned in the depth of you three, but the entire offense,
for the offensive line, this was a six different combination
in seven games. We've obviously been out receivers because Jalen

(01:08:04):
Cocher just played his first game, some other receivers been out.

Speaker 5 (01:08:06):
Tight End JT. Sandrews are starting tight end just came
back yesterday. Obviously, running back Rico down Hole came in
for Cuba and tore it up, and then Andy Dalton.
You feel great about so what's interesting is that this
team is getting better, but they also have depth at
all these positions too, that it doesn't have to be
like we need everybody healthy otherwise we can't function. I mean,
they've done a good job of making the roster better
this year, top to bottom. Here's canal.

Speaker 4 (01:08:28):
It's talking about the two headed running back situation they have.

Speaker 22 (01:08:31):
Now, it just came out, like we thought, you know,
we just switched in series and let those guys go
out there and play some football for us. And you know,
we were able to find some yards in different ways,
some screens, some different things like that. And then you know,
as they were trying to, you know, make things difficult,
you know, we were able to get the ball on
the edge a couple of times with Rico in there.
So I just thought it was a good day of
both guys running physically, running aggressive and it ended up

(01:08:52):
paying off for us.

Speaker 4 (01:08:53):
What did you think of Cuba being back and now
both of those guys being healthy.

Speaker 5 (01:08:57):
But we know the defensive coordinated for the Jets, well,
Steve Oaks, who is here of course and still beloved
in the Panthers locker room for the players that are
still here. But anyways, did the smart thing. They tried
to take away the running game, and so they did
keep it in check by and large by you know,
putting eight players in the box, as they say, around
the line of scrimmage. And then they put Sauce Gardner
their best cornerback on Ted Roy McMillan. You know, so

(01:09:18):
he had a quiet day, which is why it was
so cute cool that xavierly gets stepped up and got
nine catches ninety two yards in a touchdown yesterday.

Speaker 3 (01:09:26):
Did you just misspeak and say it was so cute?
Now the Xavier Legett came in, did you stay cute?

Speaker 5 (01:09:33):
I didn't mean to. I always said cube.

Speaker 4 (01:09:34):
By the way, hey Jim, I didn't follow through. Now
you know how I feel.

Speaker 7 (01:09:37):
We'll check. We'll check the take here.

Speaker 5 (01:09:39):
It was check now I heard it. But anyways, it
was awesome to see Xavier have that moment because he's
been through the injury and then the first couple of
games he wasn't catching the ball, he was dropping it
and having like negative yards and now he like makes
this big thirty three yard catch with the game on
the line.

Speaker 6 (01:09:56):
So if I had had him on my team, I
would have done really, really well.

Speaker 5 (01:09:59):
Yes, little boys traps, I mean the whole thing. Cap
we get.

Speaker 4 (01:10:02):
Well, we're gonna find out who we are next two games,
Buffalo at home and then Green Bay on the road.

Speaker 1 (01:10:08):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:10:08):
And and this team is four and three, uh looking,
looking in a decent spot. And you're gonna get your
test coming up the next two weeks. But hey, the
Falcons beat Buffalo, So who's to say that we won't
because we blew out Atlanta.

Speaker 5 (01:10:20):
I think about Buffalo, is we usually say other teams
they travel, well, they're already embedded here in the community.
So the Buffalo's already here.

Speaker 4 (01:10:27):
They're already embedded in the station they work amongst all
of us.

Speaker 1 (01:10:30):
I think it's okay, this is good morning, bet.

Speaker 5 (01:10:40):
Say thirty nine on WBT. I know that.

Speaker 4 (01:10:42):
Look y'all can't see it that I can. She's got
something to tell me. I don't know what it is,
but here we go.

Speaker 5 (01:10:47):
Well.

Speaker 6 (01:10:47):
I was reminded by one Sir Stephen of Anthony of
a conversation that we had back on.

Speaker 3 (01:10:53):
Friday of last week, and uh, you.

Speaker 5 (01:10:56):
Know, I don't remember what we did Friday.

Speaker 3 (01:11:00):
Senator Tom Tillis also chimed in via text you text
no idea.

Speaker 5 (01:11:04):
Who that is?

Speaker 3 (01:11:06):
Senator Tom Tillis.

Speaker 6 (01:11:07):
Texted me after the show, and now we have to
officially ask the question. This was Senator Tillis's text to me,
Beth prediction, BO will not read the book this weekend.
And the book he was referring to was Future Boy
by Michael J. Fox, a book that was released last
week that we talked about on the show. And Bo

(01:11:29):
said last week that he was going to get the book.

Speaker 7 (01:11:32):
Oh, you can't make a pro and read it this weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:11:35):
Did you read it? Did you read it? Did you
read the book?

Speaker 6 (01:11:39):
Or did Senator Tillos Was he right?

Speaker 4 (01:11:43):
I cannot tell a lie. I would never be disingenuous
with you people. I would not say something that wasn't true,
whether it's now or somewhere in the time space continuum
back in the day.

Speaker 5 (01:11:58):
I didn't read the book all that build up.

Speaker 7 (01:12:02):
Did you did you pick up the book?

Speaker 5 (01:12:03):
Did you buy the book?

Speaker 4 (01:12:05):
I can tell you that I thought really hard for
about thirty seconds about doing it.

Speaker 3 (01:12:11):
Seconds about buying it, or about all.

Speaker 5 (01:12:13):
Of them, all of them.

Speaker 4 (01:12:15):
I still I still love the idea of it, but
I have not done it yet.

Speaker 3 (01:12:19):
I loved it, but I was like I love the
idea of books.

Speaker 5 (01:12:21):
I do have that way. I actually have some books
on my shelf in my office, and I'm not writing
any of them. They're just books that they're there because
they look cool. In any books, you have a bookshelf
with zero books, that looks like you're a dupe, which
I am.

Speaker 6 (01:12:34):
But I spent some time at the little consignment shops
at antique malls over the weekend, and it took us
so long to leave the antique mall because I kept
stopping at all of the little booths and looking at
the old books, and I found so many delightful old books.
There was a dictionary that I so desperately wanted to
buy that was super old and delightful and smelled like
stinky paper. It was wonderful, and I haven't yet bought it.

Speaker 3 (01:12:57):
I may go back in a boy.

Speaker 4 (01:12:59):
If you did do that, Like, would you read it
from cover to cover?

Speaker 5 (01:13:03):
The dictionary?

Speaker 3 (01:13:04):
Dictionary?

Speaker 7 (01:13:07):
I pardon your book?

Speaker 8 (01:13:07):
Are you?

Speaker 5 (01:13:08):
I'm like, see like lateness, see.

Speaker 4 (01:13:12):
You just like carried around with you ready if there's
a word you don't want to know all the words?

Speaker 6 (01:13:17):
Well, I do still have the my my parents gave
me as a gift when I went to as a
freshman to Carolina. So this is what back nineteen ninety five,
they gave me this giant dictionary to take.

Speaker 3 (01:13:28):
It was a gift to take with me to college.

Speaker 6 (01:13:30):
I still have that on my bookshelf, and I have
all the words that I've looked up.

Speaker 3 (01:13:35):
Marked in the in the dictionary.

Speaker 4 (01:13:39):
I marked them all that that idea for like you've
kept You've kept track of all the words in your
life that you've looked up.

Speaker 3 (01:13:46):
Since I've owned that dictionary.

Speaker 7 (01:13:48):
Yeah, yeah, like a real left Google bank, like Google.

Speaker 3 (01:13:51):
History services like I can't clear that character clear?

Speaker 4 (01:13:54):
How did we ever end up doing this show together?

Speaker 3 (01:13:57):
You needed a bookworm? I need fill out this, fill
out the circle.

Speaker 4 (01:14:02):
Well, no, I did not. I did not buy it yet,
although several times this weekend the thought occurred in my head.
You know, if I really do this, it's going to
blow their mind.

Speaker 5 (01:14:10):
But I'm not. I just never got around you just
never never never reak What was what?

Speaker 7 (01:14:15):
When?

Speaker 5 (01:14:15):
When was the last book you think you read? Like,
I'm not. I'm on record site. I bet I have
not read a book in over ten years, an actual book.
And I used to collect books and read them, and
I like.

Speaker 7 (01:14:23):
And like them.

Speaker 6 (01:14:24):
I just saw statistic that it was something like it
used to be that like eighty percent of adults read
at least four books a year, and now that's down
below twenty something like that. I don't know where I
saw that statistic, but that sounds about right.

Speaker 5 (01:14:37):
I'm trying to remember. I know it's hard, right, I
don't take a different lifetime. Like my problem was, I
would never finish them. So I got mad at myself.
Like I would start a book, I might like it
or not like it, but I would lose months or
whatever at a time, and I'd forget what I'd read,
and I'm like, I'll have to start over, right, Oh,
pretend like I know what's going on, but I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:14:53):
I used to read. I used to read on vacations,
Like when I go on vacations in the summertime, right
to the beach, I would take a book. But I've
told you before, Kendall ruined all that because Kendall allows
me to have like eighteen books open at the same time,
and I'll just like, read a chapter here, read a
chapter there. I will not read like a book soul
to itself.

Speaker 5 (01:15:11):
I have a hard time getting through an Internet article.
I kind of scan internet article. I just get some
of the words.

Speaker 7 (01:15:19):
That's kind of personal question, Burnie.

Speaker 6 (01:15:20):
They do they do say that as you get older
that it is more difficult to maintain an attention span. Yeah,
but reading helps train your brain to do that. After
I had COVID, I told.

Speaker 5 (01:15:32):
You to Chicken in the egg. Though I can't focus
to read the book. I can't read the book cause
I can't focus.

Speaker 4 (01:15:36):
I love that there's a US senator out there wondering
if I've read a book about back to the future.
Like some It's not like something scholarly piece of literature.

Speaker 5 (01:15:45):
It's like not like reading the dictionary, rightbt. I had
other plans for this segment.

Speaker 6 (01:15:56):
But I had other plans. But the Senator Tillis and
his his prediction. He was right though he came true.
That he came true. He is true, he's real.

Speaker 5 (01:16:06):
He's a boy.

Speaker 4 (01:16:07):
Which of these senators did not play for the Charlotte Hornets.

Speaker 23 (01:16:11):

And then that's of course the last of the October

at Heist Brewery and Barrel Arts brought to you by
a craft body Scan. And so I caught a little
bit of Last Nights with the Pride Squad PM. It
was Nick and Isaac and for a little bit Andrew
from the Weekend Travers Travers was there. And then Saturday

(01:18:29):
night I did not see, but I know it happened,
Mark and Brandon and Jeff Atkinson.

Speaker 7 (01:18:32):
Yeah, that was a fun time. It was a good time,
good time. I enjoyed it.

Speaker 5 (01:18:36):
They do dirty restaurants, I news quiz.

Speaker 7 (01:18:38):
They did not. They covered some local stories and then
talked about some local of the best eats. Mark Garrison
got on that because people wanted to know his his
take on the best burger in Charlotte.

Speaker 3 (01:18:48):
What was it was Brooks, wasn't it?

Speaker 7 (01:18:49):
He actually talked about the worst places in Charlotte. That's
what his answer. And then Jeff was like, actually I
had the best place and it's Brooks.

Speaker 3 (01:18:55):
Brooks Okay, oh yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:18:57):
And then Mark piggybacked and is like, yeah, I completely
You don't have never been to Brooks never. I have
never either. I can't its.

Speaker 3 (01:19:04):
To be so sad, gentlemen.

Speaker 5 (01:19:06):
We make a field trip.

Speaker 6 (01:19:07):
I really think that that needs to be. Like, now,
Mami's is a burger that's a good burger on the
way to the beach. This one's closed by our studio,
so we could just drive over there in our separate
cars together and they have little picnic.

Speaker 3 (01:19:16):
Tables, enough parking for all of our cars there.

Speaker 5 (01:19:19):
There should be.

Speaker 3 (01:19:20):
Yeah, there's a field there.

Speaker 7 (01:19:21):
Right, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:19:23):
So how does it compare to a Mami's Burger? Same
kind of burgers?

Speaker 3 (01:19:28):
Similar? Yeah, there's a similar.

Speaker 5 (01:19:30):
It's a chain Brooks, a baby like chain.

Speaker 4 (01:19:36):
There's one in every town.

Speaker 3 (01:19:37):
They're similar.

Speaker 6 (01:19:38):
But I mean when I go to Brooks, I did this,
I do the same kind of burger that I got
at Mami's. Do you have to do the chili slaw,
mustard onions things.

Speaker 3 (01:19:45):
Yeah, you just have to do it that way, so
it's it's similar. They're tasty.

Speaker 4 (01:19:49):
I speaking of October Fest. So I did see just
a little bit of the Pride Squad PM last night.

Speaker 5 (01:19:55):
And you weren't. You were not running that one.

Speaker 7 (01:19:57):
I was not known Nick producer, Nick was running that one.

Speaker 5 (01:19:59):
Going back from his big vacation.

Speaker 7 (01:20:01):
I was Yeah, twelve hour, twelve hour travel day to Maine.
From Maine. Yeah, I do not like Philadelphia's airport. I'm
just gonna go sorry for people who I don't think
there's anyone out there that likes Philly's airport. You'd think
that gate A twenty three and A eight are si
you know, kind of close. No, it's like a mile.
I had to run a mile just to miss my
connecting flight because of a delay.

Speaker 4 (01:20:21):
This is escalated quickly. I just I mean, come on, Bernie,
you went to Maine, right.

Speaker 23 (01:20:24):
Dad, But Philadelphia anytime I can, I can.

Speaker 5 (01:20:27):

driver had Philly.

Speaker 7 (01:20:32):
Yeah, a rough travel day. Radio people are so nakedd
so no bo I was not on the talk to professional.

Speaker 5 (01:20:37):
Burney used to be a fun, happy, go lucky guys
and I hate people at airports and luggage. This is
what we've done to you.

Speaker 7 (01:20:43):
What's this baby doing here?

Speaker 5 (01:20:47):
Was that your emotional support?

Speaker 7 (01:20:49):
But what is that?

Speaker 15 (01:20:49):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:20:52):
All right?

Speaker 4 (01:20:52):

but we don't know because you don't. Actually Bernie's not
there like his little box, because it's not there all
the time.

Speaker 5 (01:21:02):
It's like it's like when you're watching Bernie's Little Box.

Speaker 4 (01:21:05):
It's like when you're watching Red Zone, you know, the
octobox like Bernie has as a.

Speaker 5 (01:21:09):

Speaker 5 (01:21:42):
Oh yeah, the uh was it?

Speaker 1 (01:21:45):

Speaker 3 (01:21:46):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:21:46):
Really?

Speaker 7 (01:21:47):
The new one.

Speaker 5 (01:21:48):
It's all they're dry and love the chicken. Can't have
a good chicken sandwich, but don't eat their burgers. Do
you have a positive like the best burger?

Speaker 7 (01:21:57):
I told them you are you picking back off? Jeff
Backinson Saint Brooks.

Speaker 4 (01:22:01):
Brooks, Okay, Brooks. I was gonna say, if if you
have to go eat lunch somewhere today, the best place
in Charlotte for you?

Speaker 7 (01:22:06):
What is to Brooks?

Speaker 5 (01:22:08):
If I wonder? That's what I always so?

Speaker 3 (01:22:10):
What about just the best? Your favorite? Let's spine?

Speaker 5 (01:22:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (01:22:13):
I have to think about that a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:22:15):
Because I want to go there today.

Speaker 4 (01:22:18):
So oh you're hungry?

Speaker 5 (01:22:19):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, this paperit is, mamies. You might
want to leave now, that's right?

Speaker 4 (01:22:23):
All right, it's almost nine o'clock on WBT.

Speaker 5 (01:22:26):
Not at the time?

Speaker 1 (01:22:28):
Are you not at the time? From Knees Talk eleven
ten and ninety nine three dou w BT HBO will
show this speeture only at night. This is Good Morning
Bet with Boat Thompson and Beth Troutman and now Sonic
Man says back took full and Beth can I bought? Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:22:51):
I know a lot of you are saying on the
text line that, how the heck does Bo call himself
a charlottean lifelong at that. How have you never been
to Brooks Sandwich Shop?

Speaker 3 (01:23:02):
It is so surprising to me because you seem the
perfect person to go to Brooks. When my husband and
I were dating, I mean this was way back, he
and I would go there. I personally like their burgers
are great. I like their burgers. I love the hot dog,
the hot dogs man and that they have.

Speaker 6 (01:23:19):
I don't know if they still have their fried Bolooney,
but they used to have really really great fried Bolooney.

Speaker 4 (01:23:23):
No. I mean, you know how sometimes in your life
there are things that make obvious sense that you would
have done you just haven't.

Speaker 5 (01:23:28):
By chance. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:23:30):
I just and I love burgers. I mean Mamie's I
was all over that. Yeah, I'm a burger kind of guy.

Speaker 3 (01:23:36):
You'll love Brooks. You'll love Brooks.

Speaker 4 (01:23:38):
I don't know how I've never gone, but I have it.
And so we've had people saying that they'd be willing
to take us as.

Speaker 6 (01:23:43):
Russ Yes, Russ let me pull the text line up.
Russ sent us a message that said, good morning, BT.
I can't believe that so many of you have never
been to Brooks. Please let me know when I can
treat you all sometime. You can all take separate cars
and meet up there, as is the tradition. So he
not only listens to the show, he's a deep cut
listener if he knows.

Speaker 5 (01:24:02):
That he is.

Speaker 4 (01:24:03):
And and Zochie has not been either. So that's two
of us in this room. Steve, Steve, Steve, you get
a pass because you're somewhat new to here, but like,
we've been here forever and we have not gone to Brooks.
I've done so many stories on Brooks and we've even
had the we've had people from Brooks on before.

Speaker 5 (01:24:19):
See.

Speaker 6 (01:24:19):
You definitely need to try the hot dog. You definitely
need to try the burger.

Speaker 7 (01:24:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 24 (01:24:23):
I mean I've been in Charlotte now for six years.

Speaker 5 (01:24:26):
Oh okay, so yeah I knew that, BT.

Speaker 24 (01:24:29):
Well you wish it's almost a year and a half.
But yeah, I've had time and I haven't gone. So yeah,
I guess that I make three.

Speaker 1 (01:24:36):
Of us.

Speaker 6 (01:24:37):
It's similar to Mamy's in that it's kind of this
nondescript building. That's like just like this little cinderblock building
that's that's just kind of out in the little now
Dot area.

Speaker 5 (01:24:46):
Oh no.

Speaker 4 (01:24:46):
I remember when I first started working here, we had
a chief engineer named Bob White who was so particular
about his burgers and how he consumed them that he
carried around a vat And Jim would vouch for me
if he was still here. He carried around a vat
of ketchup in his car, in his truck. It was
the old studio truck and uh, and he would he would.
He loved going to Brooks sandwich shop, but he did

(01:25:08):
not like going places where they gave you packets of
ketchup or they didn't give you enough ketchup. So he
would carry around like an industrial vat of ketchup with
him and he loved Brooks.

Speaker 7 (01:25:18):
Something my dad would do. Yeah, that is my dad
was about to meet Sutton for the first time, and
his question to me was, do you have any hoiinds
ketchup at home? I don't know, Dad, We have enough.
We have a little bit. You have enough because my
dad eats a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:25:33):
It's a lot of ketchup.

Speaker 7 (01:25:34):
He had to stop at the store on the way
to get some ketchup.

Speaker 6 (01:25:37):
Okay, I've heard of people keeping like, you know, water
bottles and things around just because I am that way.
I don't like to be in a space where I
might not have access to water ketchup, no hot sauce,
though I can't. I cannot fall anybody for keeping ketchup
because I keep hot sauce in my purse.

Speaker 7 (01:25:52):
Stay well, going from hot to cold to hot to
mean he.

Speaker 4 (01:25:54):
Carried Anybody who worked here in those days knows this story.
He carried around these go back in the engineer shop
and there'd be these vats of ketchup. Casey ran out.
Now it might have been catsup. I don't know that
it was ketchup.

Speaker 3 (01:26:06):
I bet it was.

Speaker 6 (01:26:06):
It was probably ketchup. He's probably like a Hines. He's
probably very specific.

Speaker 4 (01:26:11):
Difference between ketchup and catsup.

Speaker 3 (01:26:14):
It's actually originally that was very true.

Speaker 1 (01:26:17):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:26:17):
Lisa on the text line says, hey, you, the answer
is audio books. I've listened to over one hundred in
the past year.

Speaker 3 (01:26:26):
I feel like you could.

Speaker 6 (01:26:28):
You could squeak your way into audiobooks with some good
like the Michael J.

Speaker 3 (01:26:32):
Fox book. He narrates it. I feel like you would
be into that.

Speaker 6 (01:26:35):
I think another one that would and Craig, my husband,
listened to this one and loved it is Green Lights
by Matthew McConaughey. Matthew McConaughey narrates it, and it is
highly entertaining, highly entertaining, and I think you would get
sucked into audiobooks like that.

Speaker 4 (01:26:50):
I would think it would take a long time to
listen to a Matthew McConaughey audio book, because it would
be like.

Speaker 5 (01:26:55):
And then we went around the corner.

Speaker 3 (01:26:58):
No, he has so much energy now for.

Speaker 4 (01:27:03):
No, no, no, he has so.

Speaker 6 (01:27:04):
Much energy in this that you will want to You
will want to buy him a beer and be his
best butt. You'll just think you could sit and listen
to his stories. They're great, it's great, highly entertaining. That's
one book that I would rather listen to than read
is green Lights.

Speaker 4 (01:27:20):
I've tried doing the again. The audiobook thing is cool.

Speaker 5 (01:27:23):
I like it.

Speaker 4 (01:27:24):
You can get audiobooks on Spotify. That's all fine and good,
but ever since the invention of Kendall, I can put
like twenty books on my tablet and just I have
a short attention span. You all know that. That's how
I got this show. I have a short attention span.
I get bored with things and I want to move
on to the next thing. And you are kind of

(01:27:44):
that way too. That's how we all kind of hang
out together and do this show Monday through Friday.

Speaker 7 (01:27:48):
You put that on your resume bow you have a
short attention span. That was like the header the reason
why skills is top of the line here.

Speaker 5 (01:27:56):
I love this job. I like to talk, but not.

Speaker 6 (01:27:58):
Long, but not for long periods in time, about seven
minutes at a time or so. I will tell you
that I have the Nook, which is the Barnes and
Noble version of the Kindle, and I downloaded books. It's
great for traveling. But what I have grown to know
about myself is that I can't stand not knowing where
I am in the book. Because if I'm reading a
physical book and there's something that I'm like, oh, like

(01:28:20):
back on page what so and so they mentioned something,
and I can flip back because I kind of know
where I was in the book, and I can know
the feel of the page and get back to that
section of the book to reread something or rediscover.

Speaker 3 (01:28:35):
Yes, okay, with.

Speaker 6 (01:28:36):
A kindle or with a nook, I can't. All the
pages are on the digital format, so I can't go back.
I don't know how to go back and find it
unless you have marked it for some reason.

Speaker 3 (01:28:47):
But I don't know. It just doesn't feel the same.
I still will travel with a book, but I prefer
the physical book in my hand.

Speaker 4 (01:28:53):
But think about it this way. You have songs that
you like, right. You have songs on your whatever you
listen to on your phone, right, and you'd like to
go back and listen to those songs. If you like
a song, you go back to it. When they invented
the kendle, I have like probably thirty books that I love.
I like going back and reading little bits of those books,

(01:29:14):
but I get I get bored if I stay with
it too long.

Speaker 6 (01:29:16):
Back and find that page that you want to reread,
because it's hard drawing, like three hundred and four hundred.

Speaker 3 (01:29:20):
Pages by that point you've read.

Speaker 4 (01:29:26):
I'm not like reading the Dictionary cover to cover like
some people I know, but I I My attention span
is such that, like I do this show, and I'm
constantly worried that if I talk too long about something,
I'm going to bore you.

Speaker 5 (01:29:38):
I want to move on to the next thing.

Speaker 3 (01:29:39):
For me and specifically sometimes the general.

Speaker 4 (01:29:43):
Well, given your face sometimes yes, he constantly face give
me a face when she makes certain faces. I go
traffic time. Boomer vone cannon boo.

Speaker 7 (01:29:56):
We got some recommend for you, man.

Speaker 3 (01:29:58):
I will, I will be very very true. I can't.
I can't lie because it sits on my face. You
see it, right, Boomer?

Speaker 4 (01:30:04):
That's right, So go ahead.

Speaker 3 (01:30:06):
Though you have recommended reading.

Speaker 5 (01:30:07):
Yes, well, Beth wears her face on her face.

Speaker 3 (01:30:10):
I do I wear my face.

Speaker 7 (01:30:16):
And my shirt on.

Speaker 3 (01:30:18):
What do you recommend for to read Do you think
he'll read it?

Speaker 1 (01:30:20):
I think you read the menu board at Brooks Sendwich.

Speaker 4 (01:30:24):
Well that's awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:30:28):
Brooks is awesome.

Speaker 4 (01:30:29):
Is it an actual paper menu or do I have
to like screenshot a QR code?

Speaker 3 (01:30:33):
Now, it's a board. It's a board that you look
at on the wall.

Speaker 24 (01:30:38):
And I was I was told by a caller that
we can't put on the air because the phones are
are getting worse. That Brooks is cash only, no debit,
no credit, It is cash only.

Speaker 5 (01:30:48):
So we all need to be very well aware.

Speaker 1 (01:30:50):
Of that one.

Speaker 3 (01:30:51):
So we need to take russ up on his offer.
Because he'll bring the cash.

Speaker 5 (01:30:54):
I don't think.

Speaker 24 (01:30:55):
I don't think any of us actually carry cash anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:30:58):
Brooks only takes coin. No, that's not true.

Speaker 5 (01:31:03):
I get your burger all the way.

Speaker 4 (01:31:04):
So when's last time you went went there, Bomer? Oh gosh,
two months ago, a little over a couple of monks.

Speaker 1 (01:31:10):
I'm ready to go back.

Speaker 5 (01:31:11):
I've been over there for about thirty years though.

Speaker 7 (01:31:13):
That place is awesome and they do it.

Speaker 24 (01:31:16):
They get ground beef delivered every morning, so they make
their hamburgers fresh that morning till they run out and
then okay for the day.

Speaker 1 (01:31:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:31:23):
Don't get me wrong, I am not at all saying
as a lifelong trill a team that I don't know
of Brooks. I've known a brook I just have never
gone over there myself, but I so many people swear
by it, so I'm thinking, yeah, it's dumb.

Speaker 5 (01:31:34):
I have not been there. I should have been there.

Speaker 1 (01:31:35):
It's time, It's time, It's time.

Speaker 4 (01:31:37):
All right, y'all finish the show. I'm going so. Frequent
listener John says, Hey, Bo, when I die, I'd like
you and Mick mulvaney to be my pallbearers, so you
can let me down one last time.

Speaker 5 (01:32:00):
Oh wow, Oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (01:32:03):
Wow, that's our buddy John Stewart who always complains to
me when Mick mulvaney is not here on Mondays. And John,
I look, I'm with you. I wish we could have
Mick every Monday. We have him most Mondays, but every
once in a while he's out of range. And that's
kind of where we are today. We can't get him today,

(01:32:23):
and so he'll be back next week. We go week
to week with him. He's on news nations, he's really everywhere,
and he makes it a priority to be with us,
just like Teresa Payton and just like the other members
of our sort of extended family here. But today's one
of those days where he could not make it work,
and so he is not here today. But he will
be back next week. And John, I'm sorry to let

(01:32:45):
you down again, But as I said when I emailed
him back, I think you only love me for Mick.
I mean, come on, what are we doing here.

Speaker 3 (01:32:56):
Morning? John?

Speaker 7 (01:32:58):
Hey?

Speaker 5 (01:32:58):
John?

Speaker 6 (01:32:59):
I thought he was maybe that Mica let him down
by not being here, and that maybe you had let
him down by having never eaten.

Speaker 4 (01:33:06):
Oh no, no, this has nothing to do with Brooke
it's just the fact that although he'll probably find a
way to skewer me over Brooks that Mick.

Speaker 19 (01:33:12):
Is not here.

Speaker 7 (01:33:13):
That wasn't just a well written joke. It was well
executed by both.

Speaker 3 (01:33:15):
It really was.

Speaker 7 (01:33:16):
That was I mean, it got you. It was kind
of dark there in the beginning, and then you're.

Speaker 4 (01:33:19):
Like, oh, wow, it's too bad John's not listening because
he bails with Mixed not here, So get to catch
it on the podcast there John. We love John, but
he always it does not fail if if we do
not have Mick on. He lets me hear but it Yeah, yeah,
well we feel that way.

Speaker 3 (01:33:36):
We feel sad when when Mix's not here.

Speaker 4 (01:33:37):
Yeah, but I mean you know we we we do
the show even when he's not here. We shut down
the station because Mixed out at.

Speaker 5 (01:33:43):
Arrange, right, we can't do that, you know, we have.

Speaker 4 (01:33:45):
A lot to get to. In fact, uh, just so
you know, you may have heard me play this like
an hour ago. My intention was to play this for
a reason because President Trump released a video over the weekend,
I know, you know, the one where he's in the
fighter jet the Crown and apparently they had a little

(01:34:11):
too much weight and the jet so they had to
drop some of the baggage and the baggage. This is
an AI video that President Trump put out on his
social media platforms of Trump with a crown sitting in
an F eighteen I guess F sixteen and then dumping.

(01:34:32):
I don't think that was mud on people down below
that were part of these marches across the weekend, the
No Kings marches right there.

Speaker 6 (01:34:40):
The No King's protests were happening over the weekend and
twenty six hundred cities across the nation, and actually, according
to reports, two million more people showed up for this
round of protests than the last round earlier in the summer.

Speaker 4 (01:34:57):
And there were some in Charlotte. They were ones all
across the country. President he actually.

Speaker 6 (01:35:02):
Came upon the we were running errands. I came upon
the rally in Cornelius. They were lining the streets of
basically Exit twenty eight, up and down the streets and
seemed to be having a good time. Actually most of
the people were jolly and some had on costumes.

Speaker 3 (01:35:18):
They all had signs.

Speaker 6 (01:35:20):
But we ended up driving through it because we were
going to a consignment shop up that area, up in
that direction, and we ended up driving through it.

Speaker 4 (01:35:28):
So President Trump on Air Force One last night, did
a media press session, was asked about the No Kings
rallies across the country.

Speaker 7 (01:35:37):
What's your response to the protests over the weekend, the
new Kings princesses.

Speaker 5 (01:35:41):
I think it's a joke.

Speaker 15 (01:35:41):
I looked at the people if they're not representative of
this country. And I looked at all the brand new
science made I guess it was made for by Soros
and other radical left lunatics.

Speaker 5 (01:35:52):
It looks like it was. We're checking it out.

Speaker 15 (01:35:55):
The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective, and the people
who were whacked up.

Speaker 5 (01:36:00):
When you look at.

Speaker 15 (01:36:00):
Those people, those are not representative but the people of
our country besides San Francisco.

Speaker 1 (01:36:06):
And I'm not a king.

Speaker 15 (01:36:08):
I'm not a king. I work my ass off to
make our country great. That's all it is. I'm not
a king at all.

Speaker 5 (01:36:13):
So that was a bord Air Force One last night.

Speaker 3 (01:36:16):
You know the one thing that I mean, you all
know this about me.

Speaker 6 (01:36:22):
My general way of trying to approach the world is
through through kindness and through positivity, and especially if you're
in a position of power. And I was really I
was really disappointed by this video because I mean the
people who were protesting, whether they quote unquote looked like

(01:36:43):
they were American protesters, they are all they were people
who were citizens of the United States most likely. And
and President Trump was elected to represent all of us.
You know, he's there to represent all of us. And
the only thing I.

Speaker 3 (01:36:57):
Could that I just kept thinking about is and you
guys know this, I grew up and I was born
and raised in a Baptist church. I kept thinking about
Matthew seven sixteen, You will know them by their fruits.
That's the Bible verse that kept coming to my mind
and my heart, you will know them by their fruits,
and that that that that video hurt my heart, that

(01:37:19):
it hurt my heart. I just I just want people
to be better. And I know that that may make
people some people angry who were, who were?

Speaker 5 (01:37:25):
Who are?

Speaker 6 (01:37:26):
Who are supporters of a President Trump? And I it
just it hurts my heart because I just want people
to be better. And we and people oftentimes follow the
examples of the people that they look up to, and
and me included, I often follow the example of people
that I look up to, pastors that I've looked up to,

(01:37:47):
people that have been that have impressed me with their character,
and it just makes me sad that the president posted
an AI video of of feces being dropped on protesters
who were who were peacefully, who were there to protest,
which is their right, you know, given by the Constitution
to do and you know, whether or not the protesters
were paid, you know whatever, all of the stories are

(01:38:09):
that go along to try to politicize the protest, That's
not what I'm talking about. Like, I'm just talking about
the decorum of a leader. Like that's the thing that
really really hurts my heart. And I just keep thinking
about Jesus and I think about him as a leader
of people, and I think about what the message was

(01:38:30):
of Jesus, And I don't know why that Matthew seven
sixteen kept coming to me. You will know them by
their fruits. And if that's the fruit that he wants
to put out there, what does that say?

Speaker 3 (01:38:41):
What is that? What do we know? What are we knowing?

Speaker 4 (01:38:45):
Well, I mean you said the word decorum. I mean
I'm I saw it and I had to do a
double take.

Speaker 3 (01:38:51):
Ry, didn't it hurt your heart a little bit?

Speaker 4 (01:38:53):
Like I said, did the President of the United States
just post a video officially of himself dumping blank all
over me. Right, Well, well yes he did.

Speaker 6 (01:39:03):
Right and then and and and and you know, the
Vice president took to social media and defended him, and
I think the Press secretary also kind of did the
same thing, which they work for him and with him,
and I just I want to get back to a
place where we expect more from all of our leaders,
whether you're in Congress, whether you're in the role of

(01:39:27):
a judge, if you're the president, if you work for
the president in the cabinet. I just want to get
back to a place where we expect more from the
people that we elect to represent us.

Speaker 5 (01:39:39):
This is a water cooler show.

Speaker 4 (01:39:41):
Oh it's the big audio water cooler.

Speaker 3 (01:39:44):
On this show, we try to give you the facts.
We don't want to tell you what to think. We
want to tell you what to think.

Speaker 4 (01:39:49):
About, but we asked that you remain in your seats
until the ride has come to a safe and complete stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:39:55):
Enjoy the rest of your day here at good morning,
bet wait, Bo Thompson and Beth Trout.

Speaker 8 (01:40:00):
This is the best group of people to have breakfast with.
I can thank off you guys are fun.

Speaker 4 (01:40:04):
Oh, thank you, Bob, Thank you so much.

Speaker 5 (01:40:06):
Warren and girls Racturia.

Speaker 3 (01:40:07):
Keep your hands on the handlebars at all time's right.

Speaker 4 (01:40:13):
Enjoy the rest of your day here at bo and
Betha Wins. I always think about that. Enjoy the rest
of your day here at Carowins. When you went to Carawins,
I say that like it's not here anymore when you
are one to go to Krawins. Have you ever been
stuck on a ride?

Speaker 9 (01:40:32):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:40:33):
Yeah, really at Carowin.

Speaker 6 (01:40:35):
At Carawins, I did. I mean this was years ago,
do you remember. So back in the day, you used
to call it like the triple threat. If you could
ride White Lightning, the Cyclone and thunder Road Carolina, it was.

Speaker 3 (01:40:48):
The triple threat.

Speaker 6 (01:40:50):
And when they added the Frienzoid, it became the hat
trick if you could also add the Frienzoid to your day.

Speaker 3 (01:40:57):
I was terrified of all of them, wrote them all.

Speaker 6 (01:41:00):
Got stuck on the cyclone once, just going up that
first hill. And that's the part that makes you, or
it makes me the most nervous, is when you go
up that hill and then you go down that little
dip and then you start flying around that curve and
then down the hill into the first loop to loop.
So we got stuck going up the hill and I
was young. This was back in the day when they
still had that gum wall.

Speaker 3 (01:41:19):
Do you remember the gum Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:41:20):
Yeah, wait, they don't have it anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:41:21):
I don't know. I don't know the last time I went.
I don't think they had.

Speaker 4 (01:41:24):
The gum wall is gone from the cyclo q line.

Speaker 5 (01:41:27):
Can someone confirm that.

Speaker 6 (01:41:28):
I need to know if the gum wall is still there,
because I mean, it used to be the thing. And
my dad was always like, because I would have to
ride with my dad because I was so nervous, and
half the time I like bit through his shirt because
I would be scared going down the hill. And he
would always like, Beth, don't touch the gum wall. Don't
touch the gum wall.

Speaker 3 (01:41:42):
But I kind of always like, as a kid, I
found it amazing this.

Speaker 4 (01:41:47):
I knew a dude who took a piece of the
gum off the wall and shoot it.

Speaker 3 (01:41:52):
Oh, that's the worst thing that I may have heard
in a while. He ate a piece of someone else's
chewed gum.

Speaker 4 (01:41:57):
He borrowed it because he chewed a little bit, and
then he put it back for someone else.

Speaker 10 (01:42:01):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (01:42:02):
But I always thought about the gum wall in years.

Speaker 5 (01:42:04):
I wonder if it's really gone.

Speaker 6 (01:42:05):
So someone tell me if that, because I haven't ridden.
The last time I rode the cyclone, I took my nephews,
and my littlest nephew wanted to ride, and he was
just tall enough to ride cyclone. He couldn't ride some
of the other rides, but he was just tall enough,
so I got on with him. I don't remember whether
or not there was a gum wall, but I do
remember that my little body does not.

Speaker 3 (01:42:22):
Handle loop to loops the way that it used to.
I was. I had to get a sprite. I'm not
gonna lie. I had to get a sprite after it
was done because I was so nauseated.

Speaker 4 (01:42:31):
Well you you mentioned, because because that's the part to
get you on those rides and Carolina Cyclone and and
by today's standards, next to the fury, and I still
call it the intimidator whatever it's called now, thunder stroke.

Speaker 6 (01:42:43):
Like the copperhead snake. No, that's a different one. That's
a different one.

Speaker 4 (01:42:46):
But they had the little clo clock clock that you're
riding up and then then then it stops and you're like, was.

Speaker 5 (01:42:52):
It supposed to do that? Right? Wait a minute, where
the breaks?

Speaker 4 (01:42:55):
But I never got stuck on one of them. But
the one that I was always a rate of getting
stuck on was the Frienzoid. You go up and then
it would hang there for a second, and they go
up and hang for a little more, and then you're like, man,
if it hung right here like that would be bad.

Speaker 3 (01:43:11):
What would happen?

Speaker 6 (01:43:12):
Yeah, what would happen if you got stuck right at
the top of that? Well, if you wonder about what
would happen? You know that new I know it's not new,
but it's it's relatively new. It's just in the last
maybe decade then.

Speaker 5 (01:43:25):
But the swings ten years ago when we went to Carolin.

Speaker 7 (01:43:28):
Video camera, you heard of it. This is crazy.

Speaker 6 (01:43:31):
No, the swings at Krawins. It is not the ones
back in the day that were over in youar thunder Road.
It's that new swing that goes way up high in
the air and then swings around. No, thank you, I
cannot do it. It's too high up. And here is
the story that will prove why I don't want to
ride that ride. Although this didn't happen at Carawins. Sorry,
the wrong article just just came up.

Speaker 3 (01:43:51):
But at the State Fair. At the State Fair in Raleigh,
riders were left dangling one hundred feet in the air
on a ride called Vertigo. And it's just like that
Swing's ride. It goes way way up in the air
and would swing around. But there was a low voltage malfunction,

(01:44:11):
according to reports, a low voltage fault that made the
ride like self stop because they didn't want anybody to
get hurt, and according to the Department of Agriculture, nobody
at any point was at risk. But it left them
dangling one hundred feet up in the air, just from
that little swing chain, the little swing chain. What do

(01:44:32):
you do?

Speaker 1 (01:44:32):
What do you do?

Speaker 3 (01:44:33):
What do you do if you're one hundred feet in
the air? What do you do?

Speaker 7 (01:44:36):
What do you do?

Speaker 4 (01:44:37):
You break out the book in your pocket and start reading?

Speaker 3 (01:44:39):
What do you do if you have to tinkle?

Speaker 1 (01:44:41):
Like?

Speaker 5 (01:44:42):
What do you do when you think you make it rain?

Speaker 3 (01:44:44):
When you're just hanging up there one one hundred feet
That weird? Have you ever at one of the fair?

Speaker 5 (01:44:52):
Fair?

Speaker 3 (01:44:52):
Like the fair? You know the fairs.

Speaker 6 (01:44:55):
The fair they bring the rides in on the little trucks,
so like you know, they put them up and then
you there for a week and then they take them down.

Speaker 3 (01:45:01):
Have you been stuck on a fair?

Speaker 4 (01:45:03):
No? No, I've actually never ridden a fair ride.

Speaker 7 (01:45:05):
Steve says, yes he has been.

Speaker 3 (01:45:06):
Wait you have you've been stuck on a fair ride?
Because he used to ride fear rides like a champ.

Speaker 4 (01:45:11):
No, I I have a problem riding things that aren't
that don't always reside there, the travel around, Yes, exactly,
because I feel like I don't know it just it's
too something that that takes you way up in the
air like that.

Speaker 5 (01:45:26):
That is just just it's been.

Speaker 4 (01:45:28):
Borrowing time there. It's not there for good. I just huh,
I don't like it.

Speaker 7 (01:45:31):
Yes, Bo, this one hundred foot fairs wiel is portable.
Why do you ask you can have this in your backyard.

Speaker 4 (01:45:37):
It's scheduled to leave in just a few hours.

Speaker 5 (01:45:40):
Steve, come over.

Speaker 3 (01:45:41):
Here, like I thought about, I used to ride. I
would go to the Stumptown Fair every year, and you
know what my favorite two rides were the tilta Whirl
and the Octopus. Do you remember the Octopus That you'd
get in there and you would spin you around, and
you'd go up and down and up and down, and
now you really you were for.

Speaker 4 (01:45:57):
You forget I was there at the same time.

Speaker 6 (01:46:00):
You weren't riding the octopus if you weren't ever riding
fair rides.

Speaker 4 (01:46:03):
No, but that the octopus is at Carowins. They had
one of those.

Speaker 3 (01:46:06):
Well, they did have an octopus, but that's there all
the time. This was the traveling octopus.

Speaker 5 (01:46:10):
I'm mixed up.

Speaker 7 (01:46:11):
How did you risk your life on this one?

Speaker 3 (01:46:13):
Both the Stumptown octopus.

Speaker 4 (01:46:15):
Okay, okay, stop I was not there.

Speaker 3 (01:46:17):
But there was an octopus. I forgot. There was an
octopus right by the Tilt World at at.

Speaker 4 (01:46:21):
Carowin's for the while, near the gum wall fairly same
zip code.

Speaker 3 (01:46:26):
Yeah, it's the same three part.

Speaker 24 (01:46:28):
I'm now worried about if I if I ever wind
up going to Carowins and now all these things, I'm
gonna have to be like on the lookout.

Speaker 3 (01:46:33):
For gum walls.

Speaker 5 (01:46:35):
We need to go to Carowins as a show team.
We need to go one day.

Speaker 3 (01:46:40):
You're going to make me ride there.

Speaker 4 (01:46:42):
The stories you'd have to tell. We should broadcast from
there and then hang out to the park, just walk
around with go pro strap to us all day. Garrison
does it every time a new roller coaster opens, he
gets a go pro and goes and rides the rides.

Speaker 7 (01:46:53):
I'm not a cop. This is just a body cam,
not a cop. It's just for personal reason. You can
do your things for story. Knocking to knock on you.

Speaker 4 (01:47:02):
I had a bad experience on this right once before,
mister Grizzlin.

Speaker 5 (01:47:05):
Good morning, guys.

Speaker 8 (01:47:06):
Love listening to the 'all every morning on the way
to work.

Speaker 3 (01:47:08):
We love it here. It's like a carnival.

Speaker 7 (01:47:11):
You gotta be proud.

Speaker 4 (01:47:12):
Oh yeah, that's the most fitting term ever for the show.
We're a carnival.

Speaker 11 (01:47:16):
It's the only way to become president is to win
the homecoming carnival.

Speaker 1 (01:47:20):
This is good morning, Bet.

Speaker 5 (01:47:22):
That's right, Arnold, and that's exactly what we're going to do.

Speaker 4 (01:47:26):
Seven four five, seven eleven ten WBT text line driven
by a Libertyview at GMC see David says, Hey, I'm
driving my truck listening to you on the app. I
feel for what you say. There's a lot of decorum
missing in the current administration. But as our preacher said
last Sunday, the government is not deciding where our country grows,
but rather the people themselves have decided what kind of

(01:47:49):
government we have. I like a lot of things that
our president is doing, but when he pulls shenanigans like this,
it makes it difficult.

Speaker 5 (01:47:57):
To defend him. That's what I love about this.

Speaker 4 (01:48:00):
We get a note like that, and then immediately I
go to Chris who says, good morning, the gum wall
is indeed gone.

Speaker 6 (01:48:06):
Had a great day, And then along with that one
from Chris, which, by the way, I didn't think it
was still there because I didn't remember it when I
took my nephew to ride the cyclone.

Speaker 3 (01:48:17):
But I kind of miss the idea of it. Can
we bring it back?

Speaker 6 (01:48:21):
But then that's probably defacing public property and you can
probably get arrested now for putting gum on a wall.

Speaker 4 (01:48:26):
Right, I'm not sure the gum wall is gone. I
bet you the gum wall has been obscured, you know returns,
you know how like they started banging through the wall
and some building I don't know in Chicago or something
they found a preserved burger king. Maybe I have a
feeling they just put another wall in front of the
gum wall. Wouldn't you imagine having to fix the gum wall?

Speaker 6 (01:48:47):
Can you imagine an archaeologist, like two hundred years from
now finding that gum wall, being like, what is this?
Did they not have trash receptacles?

Speaker 5 (01:48:54):
What exactly is an oaken bucket?

Speaker 3 (01:48:57):
We're looking for those things.

Speaker 6 (01:48:59):
But the fact that it's gone, I wonder though, now,
are we at a place now where a gum wall
can't exist? Are we at a place where it's not
like it just can't exist.

Speaker 4 (01:49:09):
I think it's so funny that I told you the
story about the guy who took a piece of gum
off of it and started chewing it, and that just
that like horrifies you. Yet the idea of it just
being there is fine.

Speaker 3 (01:49:22):
Well, I don't touch it.

Speaker 5 (01:49:23):
I don't want to touch.

Speaker 4 (01:49:24):
The gum, but I love chewed gum stuck to a wall.
Just being two feet away from us wait in line.

Speaker 3 (01:49:28):
It was pretty.

Speaker 6 (01:49:29):
It was to look at all the colors of gum,
you know, like they're pink and blue and green. But
do you remember the smell It kind of had the
saliva's spits breath.

Speaker 4 (01:49:39):
Smell, especially baked in well about three o'clock in the
afternoon and it was ninety three degrees all.

Speaker 20 (01:49:45):
The sun had just spit on it and then on
top of it, and half the people in line had
just ridden whitewater falls and they were soaked and they
didn't bring a change of clothes.

Speaker 1 (01:49:55):
You.

Speaker 3 (01:49:56):
I am not lying right now. I was about to
say that exact same thing had the stinky water. Yes,
and you smelled everybody smelled like stinky water because we
had all ridden white waterfalls or ripper and rapids and
we smelled like the stinky water. That the water had
a smell. If you think about it right now, you
can conjure that smell in your brain.

Speaker 6 (01:50:14):
It was sour. It had a sour feet smell, like
diluted feet.

Speaker 3 (01:50:22):
Diluted feet smell.

Speaker 4 (01:50:23):
That's that, And then you know that was the worst
thing is you walk around all day and that just
stays with it.

Speaker 3 (01:50:28):
It stays with you.

Speaker 6 (01:50:29):
Yes, but everybody kind of has it because we've all
we all rode the water rides together.

Speaker 4 (01:50:35):
Do you remember the commercial for Ocean Island, because that's
what it was called before it was the water.

Speaker 5 (01:50:39):
Do you remember Ocean Island?

Speaker 4 (01:50:40):
You kid said I can ride around just like in
the ocean, but I won't get sand in my pants.

Speaker 5 (01:50:47):
Little thing.

Speaker 4 (01:50:48):
Do you remember? Do you remember the gum wall? I
remember the little kid going, I will get sand to
my pants.

Speaker 6 (01:50:53):
I miss I miss I missed the gum Wall, but
we were talking about where. The reason we were even
talking about Caro Wins is because they was a story
over the weekend that a ride at the North Carolina
State Fair and Raleigh got stuck. The ride was called Vertigo,
which is basically like a big swings ride, except it
goes way high up in the air, and the people
were stuck one hundred feet up in the air and

(01:51:14):
nobody was hurt. Everybody got down safely, but it made
us start talking about had we ever been stuck? And
that's how we got to the gum Wall, because I
got stuck on the cyclone at one point when I
was growing up.

Speaker 3 (01:51:24):
But Mike and Monroe, poor.

Speaker 6 (01:51:26):
Guy, this sounds terrible, he said, I had a terrifying
story on the Ring of Fire at a local fair.
Do you all remember the Ring of Fire? It was
that big circle. It was just a circle, that's all
it was, and in the track it just went around.
It was kind of like the Wild Bull.

Speaker 3 (01:51:41):
Well, no, this one went upside down. This one went
upside down.

Speaker 6 (01:51:44):
It was a track that was just a complete circle
that went vertical, so you just go around in a circle.
Kind of in the same motion as the as the frienzoid,
Like you would go halfway up and then halfway up,
and then you'd go all the way around.

Speaker 3 (01:51:57):
AnyWho, Mike and Monroe.

Speaker 6 (01:51:58):
Got stuck on it. It stopped with everybody upside down.
It's your biggest fear bow.

Speaker 3 (01:52:04):
And about ten minutes later stuff started coming down from
the people who started getting sick while they were hanging
upside down.

Speaker 7 (01:52:11):
Oh man, where do we go from there?

Speaker 4 (01:52:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:52:16):
Yeah, that's Mike and Murneaux stuck on that ring of fire,
the ring of fire, which has like if you're a
fan of hot sauce, that that term has a whole
different meaning.

Speaker 7 (01:52:27):
Wow, wow, that's where you go from there?

Speaker 5 (01:52:30):
You just wrinch oup.

Speaker 4 (01:52:30):
Yeah, where do we go from there?

Speaker 1 (01:52:31):
There?

Speaker 5 (01:52:33):
What a segue.

Speaker 3 (01:52:34):
I was just trying to change the topic, trying.

Speaker 4 (01:52:36):
To find out there's there there. Yes, it was, you know,
I learned you ever learned the hack? The hack for
riding black Beard's Revenge? Remember that ride black Beard's Revenge
where you go sit in the room.

Speaker 3 (01:52:51):
And oh my gosh, you just jogged a memory that
was dead in my brain. I forgot it was the
room moved.

Speaker 5 (01:52:57):
But if you closed your eyes.

Speaker 4 (01:52:59):
Yeah, it felt nothing, felt nothing like people would get
seasick on this ride because the room looked like it
was going and and then you close your eyes, it
immediately stopped.

Speaker 3 (01:53:06):
You felt like you were on the boat, but it
was the room that was moving. I that memory lived
down deep in my brain. Is boat just jiggled it out?

Speaker 5 (01:53:16):
Did? I said? Come out for air?

Speaker 3 (01:53:18):
I forgot about that.

Speaker 6 (01:53:19):
But yes, that because we would go into that ride
and we would close our eyes because it was air
conditioned in there.

Speaker 4 (01:53:24):
Yes, another person to that ride, Yes, so you could
go in there, but you wanted to say, hey.

Speaker 1 (01:53:28):
Just close your eyes.

Speaker 4 (01:53:29):
It does nothing happens, And then like Dent, Yes, oh.

Speaker 6 (01:53:34):
My gosh, I had completely forgotten about that ride. But
you guys have never been y'all haven't been stuck.

Speaker 3 (01:53:39):
That's it.

Speaker 5 (01:53:39):
That's no, No, I've never been stuck.

Speaker 3 (01:53:42):
It was Steve who's been who's been there?

Speaker 5 (01:53:43):
Here he goes stuck on that?

Speaker 14 (01:53:44):
Oh?

Speaker 24 (01:53:44):
Sorry, that was That was the reason I had come
over here initially when we were talking about, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:53:50):
Start out trying to do something and you never get
to it.

Speaker 3 (01:53:53):
What ride was it?

Speaker 4 (01:53:54):
Oh?

Speaker 24 (01:53:54):
I've been stuck on things at Disney World I've been
stuck on things at church carnivals.

Speaker 6 (01:54:00):
I mean, so, no, we're not going to Cara wins
together as a show because it sounds like stupid.

Speaker 5 (01:54:04):
No, we should totally do it.

Speaker 4 (01:54:06):
We should totally do it.

Speaker 16 (01:54:07):
It's going bath live from the gum Wall. At least
this is where it used to be. Trust me, we're
gonna start a new one. Yes, we're starting a new
gum wall. Alright, that'll wrap it for a Monday.

Speaker 4 (01:54:18):
They'll take care.

Speaker 3 (01:54:19):
Come on over here, Ron, let me show what I'm doing,
