This is Good Morning Beatty with Bo Thompson and Beth Trout.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
With when I'm talking about is the pulse of the
collection a little percussion?

Speaker 4 (00:20):
I was laughing at stack of books.

Speaker 5 (00:23):
Then show me that smile, hey, beautiful girl in your
own little world, and it is.

Speaker 6 (00:29):
That's a percussion right there.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
You got all of my tension.

Speaker 7 (00:35):
You ain't even shy.

Speaker 6 (00:37):
It ain't my kind of difference.

Speaker 7 (00:39):
And a little scene nothing.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Sho streams.

Speaker 7 (01:11):
You were light in the dark and stump.

Speaker 6 (01:14):
That moment where we decided who's going to interrupt the song?

Speaker 8 (01:17):
I try to decide who this is.

Speaker 7 (01:19):
It is not Rascal Flats, you're.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
Saying it sounds like Rascal Flats with auto tunes like
we picted them kids.

Speaker 6 (01:24):
It's Dan and I have no doubt it's inspired by.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
I should have remembered that this is like the hardestepe
ever rocked.

Speaker 8 (01:35):
They don't.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
They're usually like ballad death here a ballad, Yes, slower
songs Fallax, sure for his politics, Balax.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
You have the.

Speaker 6 (01:51):
Welcome to Thursday, September fourth in the Tyboid studio. The
dulcet tones of Dan and Shay.

Speaker 7 (02:00):
I can't see Bernie. There was a there was a.

Speaker 8 (02:03):
That happens microphone in my way.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
I thought you were missing a tooth for.

Speaker 7 (02:07):
Then Oh he laughed too to hear that if he
thinks you're funny too, Zogie. Thanks for all, Thank you, Steve.

Speaker 6 (02:19):
This is a crooked microphone. It was a cricket though.

Speaker 7 (02:25):
I think we're all just enjoying some Dan and Shay
on a Thursday morning.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
I've waken up here. It's a Thursday soft launched into
the show.

Speaker 6 (02:36):
Danna Jay.

Speaker 8 (02:39):
Football Tonight.

Speaker 7 (02:41):
Are y'all so excited?

Speaker 3 (02:42):
You should be excited. This is your first fantasy football opportunity.

Speaker 7 (02:46):
Here's the other question. I got this great email from Aaron,
one of our listeners. Aaron send an email, not a text,
and he said, Beth, you're a very good sport on
all of this sports stuff. I consider myself to be
a sports fan, but I've never done any kind of
fantasy team and at this point you may know more
about it than I do. That's from Aaron. But my
question is do I have to do something before tonight?

Speaker 3 (03:09):
If you have either there's only one game tonight, either
an Eagle or a Cowboy playing, you could decide to
play them, not play I.

Speaker 7 (03:15):
Think I might have all of the Eagles defense.

Speaker 6 (03:18):
You should play that though. It's all or not in
the well, how do I go?

Speaker 7 (03:21):
How do I get there?

Speaker 6 (03:22):
Oh, we'll show you.

Speaker 8 (03:23):
We'll show you.

Speaker 6 (03:24):
That's our next segment. We're going to show you how
to do this on the radio.

Speaker 7 (03:27):
How do I get there?

Speaker 8 (03:28):
That it's fair?

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Were just like a drop off in the middle of
the road in some country setting, and they'll.

Speaker 6 (03:31):
Figure it out and she'll still beat all of us.
That's how I get as a winner Cowboys tonight. Somehow
the Cowboys. Cowboys could lose every game the season prior
and still have eight primetime games because they're the Cowboys.
But they played tonight against the world champion Philadelphia Eagles,
and so the NFL is back, and you know there's

(03:54):
also the US Open tonight.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
So I was watching you'd be proud of me. I
was watching the end of the Name Osaka match.

Speaker 6 (04:00):
Yeah, I mean, if you're a tennis fan, which y'all
know that I am, this is setting up really really
nicely for the final weekend and the NFL is back.
I mean, what what more could a sports fan want?
Even if you're Beth Troutman, what more could a sports
fan want?

Speaker 7 (04:12):
I will say that Osaka's I don't know in tennis
what they call their sporty sport outfits.

Speaker 6 (04:18):
They don't call it kits like they do in soccer.

Speaker 7 (04:20):
Right, so I know soccer is a kit, So what
do they call it? Are they outfits?

Speaker 6 (04:24):
It's kind of an out outfit.

Speaker 7 (04:25):
Her outfit was a uniform. Her outfit was adorable. It
was purple and had a little sparkles around it. It was
a sequence.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
And the other girl had had a boo boo leg,
like a boo boo boo boo. I think it's called
boo boo leg.

Speaker 7 (04:39):
She had a little booboo leg.

Speaker 6 (04:43):
Like the stanky leg, not like the stinky legs. But
if you I mean, look, we were talking tennis, Amanda.
I've seen the Mova. I have careful how I say
her last night and I did it wrong. I did
it wrong. I knew I was gonna do this. Tried
to watch yourself and then and anemone.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Uh if I don't ever watched tennis, I know it's Anasamova.

Speaker 6 (05:05):
Well, but here's the thing about Eric. You said you've
probably heard last summer, the girl that lost at Wimbledon
double bagels six o six to oh to uh schiatak ca.
Do you say that wasta yesterday? She can thank you.
Try this one on for size, Jimbo, yes, Bor and Borg.
What I was going to say is that yesterday she

(05:25):
got her revenge and beat and and now you have
two Americans in the semi finals along with Jessica Pegoula.
So there you go. There's our tennis minute.

Speaker 8 (05:35):
Knew that before that happened last night.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
He was yesterday morning you saying that's the girl that
lost six love six loved in the Wimbledon final.

Speaker 6 (05:41):
It's ever said.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
It was like the worst Wimbledon final ever because she
literally didn't win one game out of the two sets.

Speaker 7 (05:46):
So one could say that she ate those bagels double bagel.

Speaker 8 (05:50):
When couldn't say that?

Speaker 6 (05:51):
But why would one We're off and running six thirteen
on dou WBT. I promise that's the all the tennis.
I will talk today now I know at every thirty
and I'll talk today. Oh, I'll just listen to you.

Speaker 7 (06:03):
There's nothing like you, guys.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (06:08):
Wait, there's a little Danny shape for you.

Speaker 6 (06:11):
Brought it all the way back around.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
You're welcome, Thank you. This is Good Morning Beaty.

Speaker 6 (06:21):
Thursday, September fourth, Bowen Beth here in the Tyboid studio.
Bill Graham will join us on the show later today,
our longtime legal analyst. A lot to talk about given
the events of yesterday, quite a bit of action on
Capitol Hill, as women who say they were victimized by
Jeffrey Epstein shared their stories in a media news conference

(06:45):
and called on lawmakers to support the release of the
records that the Department of the of Justice has so
far with help from Congress.

Speaker 7 (06:53):
This was a big day on Capitol Hill and a
lot of people, including members of the press, but a
lot of people certainly online discussing this, surprised by who
all is supporting the victims and who all is is
fighting to try to get all of the documents released.

Speaker 6 (07:11):
And some of the lawmakers will get to them in
a moment. But let's say hear a bit of kind
of a montage of some of the speakers, Like I said,
women that say they were victimized by Epstein.

Speaker 9 (07:22):
You have so much influence and power in this situation.
Please use that influence and power to help us.

Speaker 10 (07:28):
Please, President Trump, pass this bill and help us make
us feel like our voices are finally being heard.

Speaker 11 (07:36):
This is not just my story. It is about every
survivor who carries invisible scars. It's about the way we
live with daily. It is about the famili's broken and
the future stolen. So I ask you, President Trump and
members of Congress, why do we continue to cover up
sexual abuse and assault?

Speaker 6 (07:57):
Who are we covering for?

Speaker 7 (08:00):
Let the public know the truth.

Speaker 12 (08:01):
Mister President Donald J. Trump, I am a registered Republican.
Not that that matters because this is not political. However,
I cordially invite you to the Capital to meet me
in person so you can understand this is not a hoax.

Speaker 6 (08:12):
We are real human beings. So President Trump had the
Polish president at the White House yesterday and they had
a news conference, a meeting, and then after the meeting.
This is a pretty commonplace now, President Trump took open
questions from the media. One of the questions was about
what had been said on Capitol Hill earlier in the day.

Speaker 13 (08:34):
There have been survivors of Jeffrey Epstein speaking at a
press conference on Capitol Hill. They're calling for these case files,
its documents to your release. And Thomas Massey, who is
thought who is sponsoring at his dart position, should get
the House to vote on the lease of those documents,
says he hasn't be you're implicated in these files, but
many of your friends and donors maybe, And.

Speaker 14 (08:55):
He says that's why Justice Frumcket is redacting them in
slow walking their art.

Speaker 13 (09:00):
Is the Justice Department protecting any friends or donors.

Speaker 14 (09:03):
So this is a Democrat hoax that never ends. You know.
It reminds me a little of the Kennedy situation. We
gave them.

Speaker 15 (09:12):
Everything over and over again, more and more and more,
and nobody's ever satisfied. From what I understand, I could check,
but from what I understand, thousands of pages of documents
have been given. But it's really a Democrat hoax because
they're trying to get people to talk about something that's
totally irrelevant to the success that we've had as a

(09:33):
nation since I've been president. Even if you look at
d C right now, DC, it's a totally safe zone.
It's called a safe zone. That's a term, it's a
term of art. It's a safe zone because it's very safe.
You can walk down the street now and nothing's going
to happen, no crime, no murders, know nothing, because we
had a lot of problems with.

Speaker 14 (09:55):
Certain places and we still do.

Speaker 15 (09:58):
All run by Democrats or for the moment, spot run
by Democrats. So what they're trying to do with the
Epstein hoax is get people to talk about that instead
of speaking about the tremendous success like ending seven Wars.

Speaker 14 (10:09):
I ended seven Wars.

Speaker 15 (10:11):
Nobody's going to talk about because they're going to talk
about the Epstein whatever. I understand that we were subpoena
to give files, and I understand we've given thousands of
pages of files, and I know that no matter what
you do, it's going to keep going. And I think
it's I think, really, I think it's enough, because I
think we should talk about the greatness of our country

(10:32):
and the success that we're having.

Speaker 6 (10:33):
So that was the moment yesterday after the Polish President
meeting where the media asked about the Epstein situation that
was sort of unfolding there on Capitol Hill down the road.

Speaker 7 (10:44):
Well, it makes you wonder too if he will go
back and see any of the speeches that the survivors made,
because of the one young woman who said, look, I
am a registered Republican. President Trump, I ask you to
sit down so that I can talk talk with you
and tell you that this is not a hoax, that
this is in fact something that we need to focus on.

(11:06):
And The Guardian, which is a paper out of the UK,
they had a story that was released just minutes ago
saying that in some of these files that have been
released to Congress, they're finding that the missing minute of
the Epstein video actually contradicts Attorney General Bondi's claims that

(11:28):
the camera stopped recording. Apparently somewhere, according to this report,
that in the thirty three thousand pages of records that
have been released, there is some information that confirms that
that minute is actually in existence, which contradicts what Pam
Bondi said in a cabinet meeting on July the eighth.

Speaker 6 (11:51):
Also, at this gathering of survivors on Capitol Hill yesterday,
there were some representatives as well. In fact, one of
these staunches borders of President Trump that we know of,
Marjorie Taylor Green, spoke yesterday at the same event and
obviously breaking a bit with President Trump but imploring him
at the same time.

Speaker 5 (12:11):
So this isn't one political party or the other. It's
a culmination of everyone worked together to silence these women
and protected Jeffrey Epstein and his cabal. And this is
not just rich powerful people. Think his drivers, his maids,
his chefs, all the people people that worked in his

(12:34):
home security guards.

Speaker 6 (12:36):
Now last night on this is maybe you are familiar
with Eric Bowling on the Wheel America Network. It's a
bit off the beaten path, but conservative network. He has
a show. He had Marjorie Taylor Green on to follow
up about what she had said at the press conference.

Speaker 5 (12:52):
I told the President this morning, I want him to
see I want to see him bring these women into
the Oval office, and I want him to be to
hear and champion of this issue. And I want him
to fight for these women because I know him to
be a fighter. And when when he fights for something,
for an issue, and he fights for people, especially innocent

(13:13):
victims of Jeffrey Epstein. Then he beats everybody, and I
really want to see President Trump do that, and I
hope he changes his mind. Today he called it a
hoax while these we these women were speaking out and
they were saying, we're not a hoax. We're human beings.
And and I think I think we need to see

(13:34):
see something turn around there.

Speaker 7 (13:36):
And I'll say this there, he can prove.

Speaker 16 (13:38):
He can prove its own books by releasing let us
let us decide if it's a hoax or not.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
I mean, I.

Speaker 6 (13:45):
Love everything they're doing.

Speaker 16 (13:46):
You know, I'm maga through and through before I don't know,
I'm original. Og Bannon calls me original gangster, Maga I am,
but you got to you got to give Maga this.

Speaker 6 (13:59):
So some the feedback to what happened yesterday and right there,
I mean an example of two people bowling and also
MTG who have always been staunchly in support of President Trump,
but in this particular situation, I want some action from him.

Speaker 14 (14:14):
Well.

Speaker 7 (14:14):
And I think part of the reason why they want
action is this was something that Donald Trump and his
sons talked about on the campaign trail back in twenty
twenty four, that this is something this is information that
Donald Trump wanted to see released, that people wanted to
get to the bottom of it, because I mean, look,

(14:35):
with the absence of information, that vacuum gets filled with
all kinds of different stories, all kinds of different information.
But I think the thing here that really has people
upset is I think most people believe that there are powerful,
powerful people from all over the world, and certainly powerful
people from the Democratic Party and the Republican Party who

(14:55):
could be part of this cover up or who could
be being protected by the fact that this information isn't
and hasn't been released. The thing that happened on Capitol
Hill yesterday is these women who say that they are survivors.
They said, look, we can put together our own list

(15:17):
of people because we were the ones who were abused
by them. They say, so, they say, look, if there's
not a client quote unquote client list in these files,
we can tell you who these people are because we
were there, you know, according to their testimonies and their accounts.

Speaker 6 (15:35):
So perhaps there is going to be a new list.
And what happens if there is a new list, and
what kind of weight does it carry legally. We'll talk
to Bill Graham coming up later in the show. He's
going to join us at eight thirty five today. Get
his take on this and other legal stories developing around
DC and beyond.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
You haven't said.

Speaker 6 (16:02):
Six point thirty seven on WBT. You know, it's always
a challenge to try to guess the correct algorithm for
Beth Troutman's phone because it's been known to fall in
a well several times a day.

Speaker 7 (16:19):
I do not keep it on my person at all times.

Speaker 6 (16:23):
Well this story, Actually, that's a good thing by your person.
Do you have a person.

Speaker 7 (16:29):
I'm just not. I'm not. I'm not addicted to my
phone by any stretch of the imagination. And most of
the time I don't know where it is.

Speaker 6 (16:37):
Well, sometimes it happens, you know, sporadically at weird times
of the day. The game that I play every night
is is try to figure out when is last call?

Speaker 7 (16:46):
When did Beth go to bed?

Speaker 6 (16:47):
Yeah, when when's the last message that she's going to
see before we get up in the morning.

Speaker 7 (16:51):
Last night it was earlier than the normal. The last
two nights. I had a long weekend, guys, and I
have not recovered still, I'm still exhausted from it.

Speaker 6 (17:02):
So this is also a sort of a thing that's
been happening lately, Like I will send Beth a story
and then she will respond with the story the same story,
And I don't know whether she's responding like saying, hey,
I like that story, or she's saying, hey, did you
see this? And I said, well, did you check your
messages for what I just sent you? But this morning
this has happened twice in the last twenty four hours. Yep,

(17:23):
but the latest happening. This is the last thing that
you that I sent before I went to bed and
the first thing you sent after we got up.

Speaker 7 (17:29):
Today, which is pretty interesting, meaning you were thinking about
this story as you fell asleep. I was already asleep.
I woke up thinking about it, which means, Bo Tomson,
that you have infiltrated my brain while I sleep.

Speaker 6 (17:41):
The really scary thing is what the actual story is. Okay,
I'm going to read you the headline because it's two
slightly different stories, but it's the same subject.

Speaker 7 (17:49):
It's the same topic. It's just different versions of the topic.
The one I sent was from CNN. You want to
read the one I sent even like saying this word
here's the CNN headline using the phone. I can't do
it I can. Using the phone while you poop greatly

(18:10):
raises hemorrhoid risks, According to a new study.

Speaker 8 (18:14):
Which word were you afraid about? The all of them?

Speaker 6 (18:17):
I woke up this morning, the first thing I see
from Beth is smartphone overuse linked to new pain in
the butt hemorrhoids. Now this extends well beyond just the
hemorrhoid part, but I mean, I think this is one
of those things that people don't talk about, Like how
many people go into the bathroom and take their phone with.

Speaker 7 (18:37):
Them and do the death scroll thing?

Speaker 6 (18:40):
H Because the reason that they're saying it's a hemorrhoid
risk is basically because you sort of get lost in
scrolling while you're sitting long after you are doing the
thing that you started the sitting for.

Speaker 7 (18:52):
They're saying, you're there too long. You're there too long,
and it's not good for your health. Guys.

Speaker 6 (19:00):
But then then how many people? How many people? And
you know this is not the kind of thing that
people will say, Ah, I do this, but but you
know people do this, go into public bathrooms with their
phones and sit in there and you're holding your phone
like the phone has got to be one of the
most unsanitary surfaces known to man right now.

Speaker 7 (19:21):
Yeah, absolutely must be. But I will because I'm not
a phone in the bathroom person. Just I'm going to
go ahead and put it out there. I'm being very
open about this. I am not to take the phone
to the bathroom. I don't like to spend more time
than I need to anywhere.

Speaker 6 (19:38):
I don't zoom sessions, I don't.

Speaker 8 (19:40):
I just acoustics are amazing.

Speaker 7 (19:44):
Also, also, guys, the public restroom is not a place
I want to sit ever, so I have very strong
thigh muscles because of the years of women's restroom use
where you have to hold yourself in a position that
doesn't allow anything to touch anything.

Speaker 8 (20:01):
Oh yeah, so a lot.

Speaker 6 (20:02):
Steve just found his way to a microphone.

Speaker 8 (20:06):
No, the public what brings you to the table?

Speaker 6 (20:09):
The public phone.

Speaker 17 (20:11):
The public restroom phone usage brought me to the table
because I refuse to name names, but I can't tell
you how many times I have walked past our bathrooms
in this building and heard a video or an Instagram reel,
or a FaceTime call or something coming from inside of
one of our restrooms in this building, and it really

(20:33):
bothers the heck out.

Speaker 8 (20:34):
Of You'll tell us off the air the way you get.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (20:37):
No, I'm not going to name names with live mics.
But once that red light goes off, we're having a
whole different companies.

Speaker 6 (20:41):
It's not as if we were in a building with
people who don't have distinctive voices.

Speaker 7 (20:45):
Well, I do know, I do know that all of
you have heard. And you know this because I have to.
I drink a lot of water, so I had to
go to the bathroom a lot during the show. Y'all
always know that you go, see my phone is sitting
here when I go. But you do hear me sing.
I don't realize that I'm singing in the bathroom all
the way down the hall.

Speaker 8 (21:03):
I don't think that causes the issue that work. No,
it does not.

Speaker 18 (21:05):
It does not.

Speaker 6 (21:06):
You won't be singing if this is the issue for you.

Speaker 7 (21:08):
I'm just letting you know that that is not in
fact on Instagram. I can't believe that this is even
a conversation.

Speaker 8 (21:21):
News you can use from WBT.

Speaker 6 (21:23):
But if we can save thanks Doc.

Speaker 7 (21:26):
If we can save literal literal people from save literal people,
I said, but if we can save it, I was
going to say literal tushies, but I was going to
say the other words, but I'm having trouble saying it
all of the words. But you could, you could? I
mean this, this might really help people.

Speaker 6 (21:45):
Both literal and figurative.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
They should not be having meetings or watching movies or whatever.

Speaker 6 (21:50):
So number one not.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
Also you, I'm not along in the bathroom person, That's
not really the place I want to hang out.

Speaker 8 (21:55):
Ah.

Speaker 6 (21:56):
But but this is this is the back to the
original thing. The reason hemorrhoids are part of this is
because of how long people are actually sitting and we
we all I mean, Steve, you actually gave the perfect example.
But I know there are people out there listening that
that it's twofold. It's like, how long are you You're
using your phone in the bathroom? But then think about it. Yeah, hey,
I wash my hands. I made sure I was senatory

(22:17):
and leaving the bathroom, But you held your phone in
your hand before you wash your hands. I think they
should do you wash your phone.

Speaker 19 (22:23):
They need to do a correlation between dads and toilet time,
because I think as a new dad, I can speak
to this. I understand why my dad took about thirty
minutes in the bathroom every time he'd go to the bathroom.
You need some time to yourself, some me time. Yeah,
sometimes you're just hanging out and you just need to
breathe at a minute, because.

Speaker 7 (22:40):
It's not a good place to breathe.

Speaker 8 (22:42):
I think that's right, exactly what I'm saying.

Speaker 20 (22:43):
I brought a linger in.

Speaker 19 (22:44):
The proper correlation is as soon as you become a
father or you know, a parent, you you escape to
the bathroom. I'll admit I do it for time to time.

Speaker 6 (22:54):
Interesting turn, I think that's a.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
Fair point with Steve talking about you.

Speaker 8 (22:59):
Is that where I falled a tact?

Speaker 19 (23:00):
Honestly?

Speaker 6 (23:02):
Okay, well that's new dad, Bernie Bully.

Speaker 19 (23:07):
I'm just saying, you know, personal personal experience.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
In my dad's case, it was the fried Bologian onion sandwiches.
I think, oh my god, William in the bathroom diet
Now that that would lead him to have to No,
he wasn't cooking in there.

Speaker 7 (23:18):
I thought, you mean he took his sandwich to the
bathroom to get your mad in the bathroom.

Speaker 8 (23:23):
I guess he could have.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
I don't know, you got napkins, all that traveling back
and forth. Now he was a newspaper guy. He was
like like so he used to work here, he was
taking the newspaper.

Speaker 7 (23:33):
To the other Well, that's an excellent point. This this
should not be really necessarily a new thing because people
used to have their magazine racks and their newspapers in
the bathroom. So is that why so many people have
had hemorhoids for all of.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
These years previous owners of the house we moved into,
there's like a built in like magazine racked next to.

Speaker 7 (23:48):
The next to the thing.

Speaker 6 (23:51):
But again back to my point about how how dirty
those pages must have been. The same thing with your phone.
But then you don't take the magazines with you take
your phone and put it on the table.

Speaker 7 (24:02):
I mean you put it on your face, yeah, yeah,
you put it on your feet.

Speaker 6 (24:07):
You put it like that, yeah, or up against your
headphones whichever.

Speaker 7 (24:10):
I forgot I had headphones on it.

Speaker 6 (24:12):
So there it is. I mean, this, this, this conversation is.
I was going to say twofold. It's threefold. Now that
Bernie's like the toilet paper traffic check right now, Boomer
can light in that massroom, man, make sure the light
is on.

Speaker 21 (24:27):
Hey, bo Bob Lacey was doing Lacey Listens back in
the early days at his time here at w b T.
It was on at night, I think eight to midnight.
One of his last calls. One night I heard this,
lady calls, Oh, Bob, my husband just came to the
bedroom and he decided to brush his teeth and didn't
turn the lights on. He grabbed what he thought was toothpaste.

(24:47):
It turned out to be preparation.

Speaker 7 (24:49):
Oh did his tongue get really small?

Speaker 21 (24:52):
Well, Bob said, I hate to think what he did
with his toothpaste.

Speaker 22 (24:54):
Oh yeah, shrink his tongue.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
You have to wonder.

Speaker 6 (25:01):
Yeah, there you go. This conversation is now fourfold. It
is truly going to the toll that is gonna flush
this one out of assystem. Right rolling on on this Thursday,
here's something you need to know business wise. Starting October,
first Prime members Amazon Prime members can no longer share

(25:25):
their free shipping benefit with somebody who doesn't live with them.
First heard this, I'm thinking, okay, what is this? I
break it down for me, Beth, because you're the Amazon
user in the room more than anybody else. I do.

Speaker 7 (25:39):
Use them a lot. I feel like the Amazon drivers
are wondering if they I feel like I should just
leave like a snack box. Out on my front porch
for all of the Amazon drivers. So basically what they
are doing they're axing the program that let Prime members
share their free shipping perk with people outside of their house.

(26:00):
And like bo said on October first of this year,
they are prompting vites who don't live with the account
holder to sign up for their own subscription at a
discounted rate for fourteen ninety nine for one year, and
then fourteen ninety nine a month after that.

Speaker 6 (26:18):
So so this is like Amazon's version with deliveries of
the crackdown with like Netflix, where they said, Okay, if
you're on somebody somebody's account, like a family member, and
then you move out of the house, like you go
to college or something, yes you can't use the same
password anymore because they'll geofence it.

Speaker 7 (26:36):
Right, but you could get a discounted rate and still
technically use that other person's account. But here's here's my
here's my question. How do they first of all know
I mean, what if I am traveling and I decide
to order an Amazon item, but I think, oh, you
know what I need is some there are these wonderful

(26:57):
like oil diffusers that I order from Amazon and they
smell delightful, and I love to have them in rooms
all over my home. And what if I think I'm
almost out of those while I'm traveling and I decide
I want to order them. Are they going to stop
me from using my own account or does it recognize
because I'm not in my house. And then beyond that,
my little brother, he's a delightful young man, and he

(27:20):
uses my Amazon Prime account when he's ordering like a
gift for his wife, because they share an account. And
then he'll go He'll ask to use my account when
he's ordering her a gift because he doesn't want her
to see the gift, and I'm delighted to let him
use it. He has his own Amazon Prime account, he's
already paying for the free shipping, but he will use
mine so that his wife can't see the surprise, and.

Speaker 19 (27:43):
He just sends you the gift and you can just
order it yourself.

Speaker 7 (27:47):
They could do it that well, I guess he could
do it that way, but then he's gonna have to
vend mom me the money and it becomes like this
whole huge thing.

Speaker 8 (27:53):
Or I guess he can.

Speaker 6 (27:56):
She already said he's a little little man.

Speaker 7 (27:59):
I guess he could send me his credit card info
and I could order it for him, but then that
but I'm sure that he's not wanting to burden me
with the process of ordering gifts for him, which I'm
certainly happy to do. But I don't know if Amazon's
necessarily thinking about all of these complex ways that we
use their services.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
So we'll send like, as both say, if you're kicked
off the school of our my two kids live in
other cities. If I send them something and use their
address to send it to right, and I still able
to do that even though I'm purchasing from my home,
but sending it to them right, So I have to
not do that.

Speaker 7 (28:33):
These are all the questions that I have. Are they
going to pay attention? Is it just to the shipping address,
or are they GEO fancying based on your IP address?

Speaker 6 (28:42):
It says Amazon is replacing this program with Amazon Family,
which lets account holders share prime benefits, but only with
the people they live with. Amazon says everyone in a
family must live at the same primary residential address, defined
it as the address you consider to be your home
and where you spend the majority of your time.

Speaker 7 (29:00):
So, but to Jim's point, what about where where it's
being shipped to. If it's not shipping to your home,
do they suddenly think that somebody else is.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
Using your Well, you know, we own a rental property,
not in this city. It seems like if we're there,
we need to order something there. But it's still us.
But like you said, you're somewhere else, right, You're just
there's so many rules and REGs.

Speaker 8 (29:21):
I don't know about this.

Speaker 6 (29:22):
It's called Amazon Rental Prime.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
I mean, bottom Slanders. If you said you're in a
hotel in right La and you wanted your oil diffusers
or whatever, it's still you. It's still your account.

Speaker 6 (29:33):
That's right. What I used to say, it doesn't matter
where here is as long as I'm here right Well,
I checked out the track and I loved it, and
I wrote you this big sexy hook. I think you're
gonna really dig. Oh wow, that's great.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
Should we just lay it down?

Speaker 6 (29:45):
Let's get to it.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
From News Talk eleven ten and ninety nine three w BT.

Speaker 4 (29:50):
I don't know they were jammies and.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
This is Good Morning Beat with both Thompson and Beth Trout.

Speaker 6 (29:58):
The Naked and prop Day mcfe them all right, as
the zoke said tonight NFL season commences, world champion Philadelphia
Eagles taking on the Dallas Cowboys, who won nothing last year.

(30:19):
But a big story here and now that Beth Troutman
is into fantasy football has a team for the first time,
so in this is going to mean something to you
because now you're going to find out about NFL red
zone like this. This is going to mean something. This
is going to mean something to you. Right here there,
we get that. That's the octo box, ladies and gentlemen.

(30:40):
Eight games in the early window, a couple of division
matchups in Cincinnati and in Houston, and buckle up because
seven hours of commercial free football.

Speaker 8 (30:53):
It sounds like the voice of that giant buffalo from
the Buffalo.

Speaker 6 (30:57):
No, you know who that is. That buffalo is Becky.
You know how I say that, Bernie sounds like beck
Bennett from SNL. That's him.

Speaker 7 (31:04):
That's Bennette is I know that?

Speaker 6 (31:07):
Look it up on your smartphone, y'all.

Speaker 7 (31:08):
Beck Bennett is a sleeper, funny guy like you don't.
We don't see enough of Ben Bennett in the world.
I personally, I believe.

Speaker 6 (31:15):
It's really funny when he's awake too. Ah, it's a
dad joke. Thank you very much.

Speaker 8 (31:20):
We all stop.

Speaker 6 (31:24):
But listen seven hours of commercial free football begain now,
really do they not anymore?

Speaker 7 (31:31):
I thought so because I thought I read this.

Speaker 6 (31:34):
So all of you longtime fantasy football people. And then
there's Beth who's a newbie that's gonna learn that the
red zone on Sundays is just a it's a revelation.
But you kind of knew this was gonna happen, right,
Pat McAfee show yesterday Scott Hansen, who's the longtime voice
and host of a red zone on Sundays for the
NFL Network. And remember now ESPN owns the NFL Network

(31:57):
owns red Zone. This was on Pat McAfee.

Speaker 8 (32:00):
Can you give us a preview of what it's going
to sound like on Sunday? There, I'm gonna close.

Speaker 6 (32:04):
By, Oh man, let me before I do it.

Speaker 23 (32:07):
Can I Can I just say one thing when it
comes I'm the host of the show.

Speaker 8 (32:11):
What if I said, what if I would have said no?
Right now? You said, can I say.

Speaker 23 (32:15):
I'd run through the stop sign? The business folks handle
the business, of course, and I have no say over
different elements that could could or could not be in
the show. And so I'll just tell you right now
when you see me come on the air. Here, we're

(32:36):
going to hit the octobox. We've got eight games in
the early window, taking you around all the different cities,
and then when we get into it, ladies and gentlemen,
it's been more than two hundred and fifty days since
the first full NFL Sunday, but we are back and
seven hours of red Zone football starts.

Speaker 24 (32:54):
Now.

Speaker 4 (32:56):
Wow.

Speaker 23 (32:57):
I realized that might be a slight change to some
of you, but that's what That's what the catchphrase will
be going forward.

Speaker 6 (33:05):
So in other words, it's no longer commercial free. They're
going to have real commercials for NFL Red Zone.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
I play MA Amazon Prime couldn't so here?

Speaker 7 (33:16):
Why couldn't you know? We like, why couldn't they?

Speaker 6 (33:19):
Just why can't we have nice things?

Speaker 7 (33:20):
Why can't we have nice things? I don't watch the
Red Zone, but I think it's a cool idea. Why
you know how they now when you watch I don't
know how often you guys watch morning news, but I
watched the early Today Show when I first get up, and.

Speaker 6 (33:33):
A host of morning radio ship post stuff.

Speaker 7 (33:35):
Like more like three thirty in the morning.

Speaker 25 (33:38):
That's shit.

Speaker 8 (33:38):
We don't hear it shoulder.

Speaker 7 (33:40):
But they'll sometimes say, you know, we'll be back in
one minute, and they'll put a box around. Why not
sell advertising moments in a like a box that you
surround the screen with and you still have.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
The commercial they do, the golf playing playing through, they play.

Speaker 7 (33:57):
Through, and that way you get the ad revenue. You
because I understand the business model. I understand why they
want ads. But the point to the whole Red Zone
thing that you gentlemen loved was the no commercial aspect.

Speaker 6 (34:11):
You're going to love it too. You are going to
love it too. You are though, especially you, because you
don't want to watch all the games. You just want
to know what happens.

Speaker 7 (34:17):
Well, can't I just open my app and be surprised
on Monday morning?

Speaker 6 (34:20):
Well you can.

Speaker 8 (34:20):
But if you like, that's what you're gonna do.

Speaker 19 (34:22):
Yeah, So, Beth bar Humble Brack is brought to you
by Wood's Auto Service.

Speaker 6 (34:26):
But let me tell you, so, what you're talking about
already happens on Red Zone to a degree. They do
have ads that you will see on the screen. What
they said yesterday is that and a lot of people
were quick to point out within the media world, Jimmy
Traina for one who has is a sports media podcast, says,
so many stupid people are going to blame ESPN for
Red Zone now having commercials this year, even though ESPN

(34:48):
won't own the rights to Red Zone until next season.
And number two, when ESPN does own the rights, the
NFL still will run and produce Red Zone. Now. I
understand that to a degree, but they also say, we're
also to see what happens when inside the NBA with
Charles and and and Kenny and et cetera are going
to be on ESPN supposedly just like they were. I

(35:08):
don't believe that's going to happen either. ESPN is going
to put their fingerprints on it, and you can't tell
me that it's not. It's more than coincidence that all
of a sudden, ESPN, you know, acquires them and this happens.

Speaker 7 (35:20):
Wait, so who did it? It was the NFL network before
that did the red Zone. And if they own it
for another year, it's kind of brilliant. If they end
up making a boatload of money and ESPN gets blamed
for the fact that there are now commercial breaks, but
they're like, whatever, we don't own it anymore. ESPN can
take the blame because nobody's going to read that deeply
into it. So it might be this like brilliant way

(35:43):
for the NFL to make more money.

Speaker 6 (35:45):
Well I again, am I?

Speaker 7 (35:48):
Or am I wrong?

Speaker 24 (35:49):
Am I?

Speaker 6 (35:49):
And this is one of the last This is one
of the last things that you could still watch and
have it untouched by by corporate greed.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
We'll talk more about this after our commercial.

Speaker 6 (35:58):
That's right.

Speaker 7 (36:00):
So are they going to are they they are going
to actually take commercial breaks though, that's the understanding.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
I think if they were doing what you said, like
with the kind of a playing through thing, I think
they would have made that a point that that's how they're.

Speaker 8 (36:13):
Going to do.

Speaker 7 (36:13):
I just don't understand why they didn't. It seems like
that would be a great way to you can watch the.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
Games on one screen at one time, you can add
one where it's like a commercial in one of the boxers.

Speaker 7 (36:22):
At a lower third that says this brought to you
by Geico.

Speaker 14 (36:25):
Well.

Speaker 6 (36:26):
McAfee even said in the extended interview yesterday, they made
the clarification between the you know playing through or you
know just about the hornets do it too. Let's Paul's
thirty seconds for Miller High Life and then they go
back to the game, but you still see the picture.

Speaker 7 (36:38):
Or it'd be so fun if like Pat McAfee just
turned to a different camera and it's like, oh, hi, there,
you should drink you know, Miller Natural High Life whatever, it's.

Speaker 6 (36:46):
Like yellow different better.

Speaker 7 (36:49):
Wouldn't that be awesome? I'd watch every single one of
those commercials.

Speaker 6 (36:53):
But again, I mean, one of the last truly commercial
free endeavors and major broadcast media was the seven hours
of commercial free football.

Speaker 7 (37:02):
And now now that even well, now that fellow won't
have to wear catheter, he can you know, take that
is true potty break.

Speaker 6 (37:08):
He actually should be cheering that part. He can go
into the bathroom and strolling. We're back to that story
draftic check right now, Boomer von Canna. That's Scott Hansen,
isn't that is.

Speaker 7 (37:19):
Here you go? I couldn't think of his name.

Speaker 6 (37:20):
I love a red zone I'm a red zone dog, dude.

Speaker 8 (37:23):
I love that.

Speaker 21 (37:24):
I hate Steve Hopeing. He'll put too many commercials in
that man. You think there'll be like ten second clips
or the four.

Speaker 6 (37:29):
No, Apparently, according to this discussion yesterday, it's going to
be your traditional commercial break we'll see. I mean, the
first episode is coming up on Sunday, So man.

Speaker 21 (37:39):
I love that it is back to back high octang football.

Speaker 8 (37:42):
That's what it is.

Speaker 6 (37:43):
The octobox, man.

Speaker 4 (37:44):
Yes, the octobox.

Speaker 8 (37:45):
That's it.

Speaker 21 (37:46):
Hey, give us a chance to go to the bathroom too, won't.

Speaker 7 (37:49):
Well there you go. See look for the silver lining
boomer that it'll make that.

Speaker 21 (37:52):

How did we know that's right?

Speaker 24 (39:00):
Ever ever go to a vat use a public bathroom.

Speaker 7 (39:03):

it number one.

Speaker 7 (39:08):
Oh okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 6 (39:12):
Well, I mean you could water the plants in the
corner like Boomer does.

Speaker 24 (39:14):
I just go to Boomer's house when we're on vacation.
I always, based on what happened to me my honeymoon night,
I always always try to hold it until the very
last day and we're checking out and my wife's down
in the lobby with the valets waiting on me. Then
I might go, oh my.

Speaker 7 (39:35):
Gosh, Cohen, you must be so uncomfortable your entire vacation.

Speaker 19 (39:39):
That's some scar tissue there.

Speaker 24 (39:40):
Well, if it's like the third day or something, and
we're down in the bar at the restaurant, I'm telling
me I got to go up and use the bathroom
when she rolls, rise and do my thing. But and
also I'm so parent, I'm so ocdmail that germanys. Anytime
we go to a hotel, I take a candle life

(40:02):
all right, everything we can possibly touch, especially the handle
on the commode.

Speaker 7 (40:08):
Yes, Cohen. You know what I'm with you. You take those
little you can get the little purel wipes that are
in individual packets, throw them in your purse, throw them
in your wife's purse, and you can wipe things down.

Speaker 24 (40:20):
Yep, got to do that. But you know we've been married.
Well it will be married fifty eight years this Christmas,
and I'm still parano What about that stuff.

Speaker 7 (40:30):
Oh Cohen, Well maybe this is the key to a
successful marriage. Maybe if we all were a little more
concerned about this stuff, we might make it fifty eight years.

Speaker 24 (40:40):
Well, that's just me and I can't help myself.

Speaker 6 (40:45):
Cohen. I'm always amazed by what drives you to call
us and it never disappoints.

Speaker 7 (40:49):
It never disappoints us. Cohen, and I love that you
love sharing this stuff with us.

Speaker 24 (40:54):
I'm gonna tell you, y'all just make my day.

Oh well you just made hours.

Speaker 6 (40:58):
Right back at you, my friend. You have a great
week and weekend you got thank you. If he goes,
that's Cohen, you know, life life life lessons with Cohen,
or if your boomer just go peel on the bush
in the corner.

Speaker 8 (41:11):
Cohen's resolve is admirable.

Speaker 18 (41:12):
Fact.

Speaker 8 (41:12):
They could just hold it for like I'm behold mine.

Speaker 3 (41:18):
I was that way in Greece because you know, you
can't flush the toilet paper in grease about how to
till I got back to America.

Speaker 6 (41:25):
Just like Cohen, like on his vaca the final days,
vacation is over, like in the corner and it's like sweating, like.

Speaker 7 (41:31):
It was all wide around the mouth sweaty are y'all
bloated on vacation the whole time? Is that? Is that
just they take stuff that you can travel with guys.
It's called pooperie and familiar. Oh okay, okay.

Speaker 8 (41:47):
You got to tell the stuff that we don't know
one topic all.

Speaker 6 (41:50):
Right, all right ahead of the game.

Speaker 7 (41:51):
I'm just trying to let you guys know that they're
there are gentle ways.

Speaker 8 (41:55):
To sometimes it fights right through it though.

Speaker 7 (41:59):
Do you want that in the.

Speaker 4 (42:02):
No, I have it right here, always have something on
the ready.

Speaker 6 (42:07):
Well, you know, hey, I did not know Cohen was
going to call, And I'm glad Cohen's one of those
callers that if he shows up on the screen, just
you put him through. And we've been doing the show
long enough you have certain callers that are in that
category that you see you see their name up there.
All right, never mind, let's go to the phone line. Yes,
but I did want to bring this up. And this
is something that we can continue with because there's a

(42:28):
new article in the Atlantic. And we have talked over
time about cheating in school, right, Like you can remember
back when you were in school, there were people who cheated.

Speaker 7 (42:39):
They copied off of somebody's paper, or they copied somebody's homework,
or they put the formulas to their math equations and
their smart calculators.

Speaker 6 (42:49):
I mean, there's some form of it, and we've all
seen it in one form or another. But here we go.
I was wondering how long it would take for something
like this to happen an actual student. I'm a high schooler,
and they said, AI is demolishing my education. So you've
got a student, a senior in high school, who's written
a piece for The Atlantic sort of detailing the stuff

(43:10):
that they experience in the era of AI, in the
area of chat GPT.

Speaker 7 (43:18):
I just want to read some of this and again,
this article written by an eighteen year old high school senior,
and this is what she says during a lesson on
the narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass. I watched
a classmate discreetly shift in their seat, prop their laptop
up on a crossed leg, and highlight the entirety of

(43:41):
the chapter under discussion. In seconds, they had pulled up
chat GPT and dropped the text into the prompt box,
which sped out an AI generated annotation of the chapter.
These annotations are used for discussions. We turn them into
our teacher at the end of class, and many of

(44:02):
them are graded as part of our class participation. What
was meant to be a reflective, thought provoking discussion on
slavery and human resilience was flattened into copy paste commentary.

Speaker 6 (44:18):
Which basically means that there's no point in even listening.
You don't have to do the work anymore. You can
just hit a button at last minute. Like when we
were in school. You didn't have smartphones. When my kids
were in school, they had smartphones, and I, you know,
could imagine how things could go awry, for example, you know,
the ability to screenshot things, screenshot of tests, screenshot something

(44:40):
in class. You know, some schools allow cell phones and
some don't, and then some teachers have different, you know,
rules once you get in their class about whether they
can be on or out or seen. But come on,
if you think about how how cheating was done when
we were in school, it was like, let's wandering eyes,
or hey, can I copy your homework?

Speaker 8 (44:58):
You write out our hands.

Speaker 7 (45:00):
To really work for it, right, right, right, you had
to learn how to write teeny tiny on a little
piece of paper and scroll it up and stick it
in the leg of your shorts.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
I never did very specific animal Jim is exactly right,
though I know people and I'm not trying to be
holier than now.

Speaker 6 (45:16):
I just didn't do this, but I saw it done
where people would write answers to questions on the inside
of their their their hand or arms, called a palm pilot.

Speaker 7 (45:27):
The original.

Speaker 6 (45:28):
But when we come back, I want to continue this
conversation and I want to reach out to people listening.
We always get great feedback on this show from teachers
and young people and students. I mean for crying out loud.
Gabe used to listen to us on his way to school,
and we now talk to him as he's a college student.
But we have people all over the map in different places.
But I want to hear from you, either the text

(45:49):
line or the regular comment line, because have you experienced this.
I'm about to tell you about some of the things
that schools and colleges now have to do to combat
the AI slash chat GPT cheating that goes on. But
this is even worse than I imagined it might be.
I'm not in a classroom every day anymore, but I
know your mind can kind of wander as we see

(46:10):
what AI can do.

Speaker 7 (46:12):
Well and think about how this impacts critical thinking, a
skill that we need if our country is going to
run for generations to come.

Speaker 6 (46:22):
Yeah, if you're in a position of power and you
cheated your way all the way through high school and college,
the ways that it can be done these days are
mind boggling. News Talk eleven ten, nine to nine to
three WBT on your Thursday morning from the text lines
driven by Liberty Buick GMC. I'd love to see an
association called the Non AI Generated Certified Association where we

(46:45):
can put it in our email signature that this email
has been non AI generated certified or homework et cetera.

Speaker 7 (46:53):
Right, and that way you know the people who are
doing the work are actually doing the work. They are
not having some computer system create a text for you.
They put some thought into it.

Speaker 6 (47:06):
Remember that time earlier this hour, I was talking about Cohen.
I was talking about, you know, people that call the
show a lot, and then I started talking about Ai.
And we've talked to a lot of teachers and a
lot of students, and well, every once in a while
while we talked to the parent of the student who
used to call our show that now is a fine
college man. No way, let's bring her on. Robin. Gabe

(47:28):
Stein's mom is with us. How are you.

Speaker 26 (47:32):
Hey, I've gotten a promotion. I'm Gabe's secretary.

Speaker 6 (47:35):
Now, oh well, you know that's a big job right there.

Speaker 23 (47:40):
How you doing, I'm great?

Speaker 26 (47:43):
How are you guys?

Speaker 7 (47:44):
We are awesome. Were Gabe's ears burning because we were
talking about him?

Speaker 26 (47:49):
Well, no, it's funny. I was just telling Steve, I
haven't listened to you guys in months, and what man?
And actually that we'll get into that later. But Zach
was here and all of a sudden he said a name,
so I called him and he was cracking up. He's like,
oh my god, I would call him, but I'm getting
ready for class, and I'm like, all right, we'll give
me the highlights. And I told him the topic. So
he gave me like a couple things which were interesting,

(48:11):
and then I asked Zach too, and so I've gotten
now two perspectives.

Speaker 7 (48:14):
Oh wow, So in college, high school and college both
probably having to deal with the effects of AI.

Speaker 26 (48:22):
Right, right. So with the high school this year where
Zach goes, they actually as part of the you know,
parent teacher, you know handbook that they send out, there
is a whole AI section on what can and cannot
be used, and more importantly, the disciplinary process around using AI,
which you can imagine and I'm sure it will go
into also, you know, the college app process.

Speaker 25 (48:45):
For college.

Speaker 26 (48:46):
William and Mary gave said they do a red yellow
green light kind of perspective, and it's sort of you know, pending,
I guess on the subject. So some classes it's strictly prohibited,
you know, red light, some you can use it, and
then some sort of subjective that yellow yellow lightline.

Speaker 6 (49:03):
Now, see the article that sort of got us down
this road in the first place was written by a
high school senior talking about the chat GPT obstacles that
they face. And I thought this was interesting. So Robin,
indulge me here for a second. As I read some
of this, it says. Desperate to address AI, schools across
the US are investing in detection tools and screen monitoring

(49:27):
software to curb cheating. Some of these tools have been
used in my school. Teachers rely on plagiarism checkers and
exam proctering software, and still these systems aren't fool proof,
and many students have begun to bypass the measures. Students
have AI humanizer tools, which rephrase text to remove robotic undertones,

(49:47):
as one such program puts it, or they manually edit
the AI's output themselves to simplify language or adjust the
chatbot's sentence structure. I mean, this is I mean, I
always feared that we'd be going down this road, but
now you're basically there's software that will go back and
make your writing look like it was written by a
human as to say, maybe put a few you know,

(50:08):
mistakes in there here and there so it doesn't look
like it was professionally done by a chatbot.

Speaker 26 (50:14):
Yeah, exactly. And they can also customize it to the
way that you write, because there are certain things, you know,
some of the better teachers will pick up on in
terms of style, you know, the way a certain person
will speak. Yeah, it's the same thing in the corporate world.
And I'll tell you where it's really prolific is in
the book writing business. My husband dabbles in that, and
I mean, it is amazing the books that you're buying

(50:36):
on Amazon or you know, the bookstores. I don't know
the percentage, but a large percentage of them are written
by AI. See this this really it really.

Speaker 7 (50:47):
Upsets me because in the same way that when you
hear an AI generated voice, I feel like you miss
the soul of the voice. And now with the AI
generated texting and the AI generated especially books, you're missing
the soul, the soul of the writer.

Speaker 26 (51:06):
Absolutely. I mean all the research that goes in and
for those writers that have been out for you know, Eon,
think about how they must feel now that you have
these new writers turning out books faster than James Patterson.

Speaker 6 (51:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (51:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (51:19):
And there's also talking this about how teachers now they
can lock screens, you know, their tactics on both sides,
and that's kind of the depressing part of this. It's
where we are. But anyway, Robin, go ahead, I.

Speaker 26 (51:34):
Was just really really cuzy. You were talking about the phone.
So even with the phone lockdown, they do a thing
where you put the phone in the pouch. I know
most of these schools, and that's a positive because they're
trying to get them to socially interact with each other
as opposed to standing next to each other texting each other.
But the flip side is is that really doesn't do
anything because everybody has an iPad now, so they can
just use the iPad, So that doesn't do anything for

(51:55):
the aipiece.

Speaker 6 (51:56):
Wow, well, listen, this is awesome. This is this is
a mom by way of college son, and you're just
kind of walking through the room. Oh wait a minute,
they're talking about us. But you're exactly who I hope
would call. So it's good to hear your voice.

Speaker 26 (52:10):
I'm glad.

Speaker 1 (52:10):
I love you two.

Speaker 26 (52:11):
You guys stay well and hopefully he'll get on soon
when he comes home.

Speaker 7 (52:15):
Oh, we would love it. Gabe has always welcome here.

Speaker 26 (52:18):
I will tell him you guys, take.

Speaker 6 (52:20):
Care, you too, take care. That's Robin Gabe's mom and
Gabe Gabe Stein called the show way back when, maybe
the first year. We were on the air together with
his brother on the way to school one day and
then we sort of struck up a friendship. And he
calls from time to time, and I'd love to talk
to him about this once he gets back around, because again,
like I said, you're fighting this from both sides. You know,

(52:40):
you're coming from the student perspective and then you're coming
from a teacher perspective. And some of you teachers who
call us about this, I'm curious as to what you've
dealt with in the classroom during the chat gpt era,
because you know the old school. Hey, yeah, copying homework
and writing it on your hand, Lgioriah, you know these
are all things we heard about we didn't do obviously right,

(53:03):
different time, different day and age now.

Speaker 7 (53:05):
And how how are you dealing with it? Teachers call us?
What what technological advancements are you using to to try
to deal with AI? And are you worried that that
that students just aren't going to learn any information now?

Speaker 6 (53:19):
Or how about if you're you know, I mean a
doctor or a lawyer and such, just think about you
get a certain amount of years down the line and
the person who's who's who's uh you're paying for services?
How did they get the expertise that they allegedly have.

Speaker 7 (53:33):
Yeah, you think the podcasts are bad now? Like Doctor
Death that that that what if we have a lot
of that because all of the people who are graduating
from med school only used AI.

Speaker 1 (53:44):
This is Good Morning BT.

Speaker 6 (53:52):
Lots of feedback at various sources, GMBT Show at WBT
dot com, also the Liberty View at GMC line seven
four five seven oh eleven ten, and of course the
Old School seven oh four to five seven oh eleven ten.
We just heard from Gabe's mom, Robin, and this is

(54:12):
one of those things where I'm going to hear from
people throughout the day on this because you start learning
all these different ways that technology has infiltrated the schools.
This is a piece that we've been talking about in
the Atlantic where a high school senior is sort of
detailing all the ways that chat, GPT and AI can
be used to, you know, to game the system well.

Speaker 7 (54:35):
And the fact that a young person wrote the article,
I think is what is so fascinating. And she has
watched students use chat GPT to come up with assignments
in class, not only for literature assignments, but also in
math class. And the math version of chat GPT will
spit out formulas and even graphs. But the biggest thing

(54:56):
is one of the things that she points out is
that earlier in her academic career, one of the best
bonding moments was that procrastination freak out with your friends
where you're, you know, typing away at a school project,
trying to get it done at the last minute, and
you're bonding over the stress of getting a project done.

(55:17):
That AI is also having an impact not only on
the social relationships of the education process, but also on
the impact and the feeling of procrastination itself. That there's
no no urgency to get something done.

Speaker 6 (55:34):
Gosh, I miss I missed putting things off in high school.

Speaker 7 (55:37):
I was the queen of procrastination, and it is no
shock that I ended up working in a newsroom where
you're constantly under the pressure of a deadline, because I
work better under pressure, and I kind of loved the
feeling of the pressure of trying to get something accomplished
by a deadline and chat GPT is even taking away that.

Speaker 6 (56:02):
Off the text line. Not a name attached with this,
but it's interesting a message here. Back in the day,
we used a hand signal system similar to what baseball
uses in the box as far as trying to cheat.

Speaker 7 (56:16):
But think about the creativity involved in creating the hand signal.
The guys probably didn't realize how much they were learning
by putting hand signals with certain facts. Those facts are
probably still in their heads. If I asked this person
to tell me what the hand signal was for, you know,
the example for Pearl Harbor, he probably still remembers the
hand signal.

Speaker 6 (56:36):
And don't get me wrong, we're not glamorizing the way
cheating used to be. It's never a good thing. When
I got into college, I went to Davidson. We had
the honor code and the honor code there. I don't
know how it is at other schools. A lot of
people listening, I'm sure went to schools with honor codes.
At Davidson it worked, like I know of a couple
of situations where people violated and they got kicked out

(56:59):
of school, and if they didn't get kicked out school,
they had to go before the honor council. Yeah, that's
the way it is at most schools that have an
honor code. But in high school, I remember people that
I knew in various classes. It wasn't rampant, but I
think we all can think of cases where somebody copied

(57:19):
somebody's homework. I didn't do that, and I'm not trying
to be holier than that. I think there are a
lot of people that never did any of this stuff,
but you remember that it was done.

Speaker 1 (57:26):
Well.

Speaker 7 (57:27):
Here is my bigger question is if teachers out there,
and again we would love to hear from some teachers
or professors are using technology tools to try to figure
out if a student did use chat, GPT or AI
in some form. Here's my question. What if you have
a student that just has a fantastic vocabulary and is

(57:48):
an effective writer, and the technology tool thinks that AI
was used because you actually have a student who has
learned and who is using their vocabulary, Well, then what
what if it spits out and says it is AI
but it wasn't. How do you prove that it wasn't AI?

Speaker 6 (58:08):
Or this sort of sad reality that if you have
a student that excels and writes really well, because of
the society we live in with chat, GPT and AI,
either the teacher or some of the students are going
to be suspicious right that it's not their own work.

Speaker 7 (58:25):
That's my point. And then how do you prove how
do you prove that you did it yourself. How do
you how do you, in the age of technology, show
your work? How do you show your work?

Speaker 6 (58:36):
And those are the worst kind of math math problems.

Speaker 7 (58:38):
Oh I love you, Oh I love those math problems.
Carry your one. I still show my work on receipts
at restaurants.

Speaker 6 (58:47):
And we and yet we do a radio show together.

Speaker 4 (58:50):
You would be.

Speaker 7 (58:51):
I have to carry the one because I can't do
the Bernie.

Speaker 6 (58:54):
You're exactly right, she would where they're going with the food.
I'm starving.

Speaker 14 (58:59):
I only had one breakfast.

Speaker 1 (59:01):
From News Talk eleven ten and ninety nine three doubt.

Speaker 6 (59:05):
It's a party platter service twelve people.

Speaker 14 (59:07):
I know what I'm about.

Speaker 24 (59:08):
Son.

Speaker 1 (59:08):
This is Good Morning Beat with Bo Thompson at Beth
Trout with the studio.

Speaker 6 (59:14):
That's where the magic happens. We've got to creative urge
to later on today our weekly conversation with the voice
of the Tar Heels, Joones Angel. We were really excited
to talk to him last week given all the build
up to the Belichick era beginning equally anticipating this conversation

(59:38):
because I can't imagine what Chapel Hill has been like
the last several days following the Chapel Bill blowout on
Monday night, but no rest for the weary Tar Heels
head to Charlotte Jerry Richardson Stadium taking on the Charlotte
forty nine ers.

Speaker 7 (59:54):
Maybe instead of like Blue Heaven, it's been like blue Heaven.

Speaker 8 (59:59):
Oh, I think you say something else.

Speaker 6 (01:00:01):
Here's what Here's what he sounded like yesterday.

Speaker 27 (01:00:03):
Okay, So it's uh, you know, quick, quick turnaround for
us this week. You know, I think the guys have
really you know, embraced the short week and we're you know,
going as fast as we can, uh, you know, put
the TCU game behind us and and move on here
to Charlotte. So as far as the Charlotte, you know,
we already kind of talked about TCU. As far as

(01:00:24):
Charlotte goes, Uh, they're probably feeling about the same as
we did. You know, they were in a really competitive
game there, you know, late in the second quarter, uh,
kind of as we were, and then it got away
from a little bit against app State, kind of like
our game did against TCUs. So you know, the big
shirt both teams will be looking to rebound off of
last week's game.

Speaker 6 (01:00:43):
Sounds pretty much like Bill Belichick. I mean, like Zochie
always says there's really one speed with him m hm.

Speaker 3 (01:00:49):
As he said, yeah, we stunk, but hey, look at
Charlotte based on based on too.

Speaker 6 (01:00:53):
But then there was a reporter there who sort of
threw a little shade I thought at the at the
Charlotte forty nine ers because listen to this question to him,
you're used coaching on Saturday.

Speaker 18 (01:01:03):
In a place at holds fifteen thousand. To me, is
that the smallest thing you've ever coached it? And how
nice is it knowing that there's still in units for
view at this point your your career to be able
to got our coaching like that.

Speaker 4 (01:01:13):
Thanks.

Speaker 27 (01:01:15):
Well, yeah, during a COVID year, I mean, we played
in front of a couple hundred people in bigger stadiums,
so you know, again we control we can control, so
we control how we prepare, how we play, and how
many people are aren't there and whatever the weather is
and all those things we have no control. Or we

(01:01:36):
can just control our our preparation, our performance, our attitude
and how competitive we play. And that's what we're going
to focus on. But well, I mean, whatever it is,
it is, you know, it's we honestly, we take the approach.
We can, you know, play anywhere anytime, you know, day night,
you know, home away, in a parking lot, and in Ireland,

(01:01:58):
in North Carolina, in California, wherever it is. Just you know,
we got to be ready to play when the games
are scheduled. Well control, We in control.

Speaker 6 (01:02:05):
If you missed the question, it was a little bit
hard to hear the person said, is this the smallest
venue that you've ever played in?

Speaker 7 (01:02:12):
It's a stadium that he's like that only seats fifteen
thousand people.

Speaker 3 (01:02:15):
He's probably perfectly fine with a road game in front
of a small amount of people as opposed one hundred
thousand of the opponent fans booing you. But yeah, I
think it's a good opportunity for both teams because the
Avenue coach to Tim Alban at Charlotte, so they're trying
to get their program resurrected after the Pog years, and
now North Carolina, so there are some similarities. And I
would say that the pressure is obviously squarely more on

(01:02:36):
North Carolina than it is on Charlotte coming into this
game based on what happened in that first game and
all the money and all the expectations with the Tarios.

Speaker 7 (01:02:43):
And if they lose to Charlotte, that really is I
because Bill Belichick keeps pointing out that Charlotte also lost
last week and then they come.

Speaker 3 (01:02:53):
In ESPN didn't lead with Charlotte lost app State last week. Right,
it was in there somewhere, but it wasn't like natural.
Right Tim Albert's girlfriend was not up in the stands.

Speaker 6 (01:03:04):
So or down on the sideline sidelines.

Speaker 3 (01:03:06):
Yeah, I saw that afterwards. I didn't notice that until
the next day. Yeah, that was before the game. But
still it's not like you can't go. But it did
have very much. Hey, dad, I have some money for
the concession stands kind.

Speaker 7 (01:03:17):
Of grandpa, more like grandpa.

Speaker 8 (01:03:21):
Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 6 (01:03:22):
So it's seven o'clock PM on obviously like play seven am,
seven o'clock on Saturday night. Charlotte forty nine ers and
the UNC tar Heels, and I guess you would think
this would be potentially the biggest crowd they've ever had there.

Speaker 8 (01:03:36):
They've added some additional seating for this game.

Speaker 7 (01:03:38):
That's actually a great question. I wonder who out there
is listening this morning, has tickets, has tickets to the game,
and are they yet?

Speaker 14 (01:03:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:03:44):
And are they going?

Speaker 8 (01:03:45):
Because Angel, he'll be on late.

Speaker 7 (01:03:47):
But do they want to see the forty nine ers player?
Are they going to see Chapel Hill play or are
they just going to see Bill Belichick and his his
sweatshirt with the short sleeves.

Speaker 6 (01:03:57):
I have no doubt there'll be a lot of Carolina
blue in that's dum coming up on Saturday. But you know,
like Zoe says, they're trying to build their own home
field advantage. They're trying to build their program, and you
have to play teams like this, and now this is
I understand it. This they've been playing. You know, Carolina
has been playing Charlotte for several years now, so I

(01:04:18):
think this series was in place before Belichick arrived, But
now that Belichick is here, it completely brings I mean,
at the end of the day, for the Charlotte forty
nine ers, whatever you think of Bill Belichick or what
or what anybody says about how big the venue is,
this is getting eyes on the Charlotte forty nine ers program.
Like everywhere Bill Belichick goes, it's the traveling circus. So

(01:04:39):
they benefit from that and it'll be on national TV
and all that, so it becomes you know, we talk
so much about how the North Carolina program benefits from
all the talk and now they're relevant. Whether Bill Belichick
wins or loses, every team that plays him this year
also benefits from that.

Speaker 7 (01:04:54):
Well, it's certainly every team that beats him. Well, yeah,
they become more relevant. So this is you and see
Charlotte's chance to be like, hey, look you need to
come play at our school because we beat Bill Belichick.

Speaker 8 (01:05:03):
Ye.

Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
No, there's a lot of pressure and really to to
buy that kind of national attention and what would cause
in terms of advertising versus just happening organically with all
the coverage. I'm not sure what TV network it's on
as this ad the ESPN game, I'm not really sure,
but whatever it's on is going to be that, and
then all the Sports Center all this stuff afterwards in
all the national coverage. So it's good for both programs,
and they are both really truly building with new coaches

(01:05:27):
right now, so they're not finished products by any means.

Speaker 7 (01:05:29):
I just want to know. I want to know who's
going and I want to know why. Are they going
to see Charlotte? Are they going to see Chapel Hill
or are they just going to see Bill?

Speaker 3 (01:05:37):
Are you going to the Flying Saucer afterwards.

Speaker 8 (01:05:39):
Yeah, up in the university here.

Speaker 6 (01:05:41):
So, like I said, we'll talk to Jones Angel less
than a week since the big Monday night game because
it's a quick turnaround Monday then a Saturday game, and
he will join us next hour at nine thirty five.
He joins us every Thursday. The voice of the Tar Heels,
the voice of traffic on WBT, Boomer von Kennon.

Speaker 21 (01:06:00):
A good thing they're playing a night game because Saturday's
temperatures expected in the load nineties. That would been really
welcomed there in the field or mid afternoon Saturday.

Speaker 7 (01:06:08):
Well you know what the Carolina Ascent opening night on Saturday,
and that in those temperatures, Boomer, there you go.

Speaker 21 (01:06:15):
Bring on the Ascent, Yeah, bring them old.

Speaker 7 (01:06:17):
We're talking about that actually coming up too right.

Speaker 6 (01:06:20):
We should talk to Jen I have you.

Speaker 7 (01:06:21):
We should talk to Jen Ivey about this week's opening game.

Speaker 8 (01:06:23):
Are you going to see the escent? Are you going
to see Beth Troupman? Do the PA?

Speaker 6 (01:06:26):
Why are you going?

Speaker 21 (01:06:28):
You're sitting in your car the parking lot roll you
winded down Thompson's load.

Speaker 6 (01:06:33):
That's right to each their own, right with them? When
do you go with a cent man.

Speaker 21 (01:06:37):
Another great year coming up.

Speaker 6 (01:06:38):
Right, hey, and thoroughly enjoy the show.

Speaker 7 (01:06:42):
Thank you for taking the time to call in.

Speaker 20 (01:06:44):
Well, y'all keep it worried done a great job.

Speaker 6 (01:06:47):
Thank you man, Keep on keeping on.

Speaker 4 (01:06:48):
This is good morning beating with booming path. Ah.

Speaker 6 (01:07:07):
Yeah, it's back all this talk about the Carolina Panthers,
and rightfully so. But it's not the only team that's
returning to action this weekend in the Queen City. Back
to Carolina's going to Jacksonville with the Carolina Ascent is
coming back to Memorial Stadium.

Speaker 7 (01:07:25):
It is Opening Night on the pitch, everybody. Carolina Ascent
against the Tampa Bay Sun FC. Game starts at seven,
doors open at five. It's a big night, full of concerts,
full of fireworks, and of course our own lady is
the Carolina Ascent and I'll be back. I can't believe
they asked me back for another season.

Speaker 6 (01:07:44):
Actually, we have a VIP it's a Carolina Ascent Royalty
on the phone line right now, seven oh four to five,
seven eleven ten us who we.

Speaker 7 (01:08:00):
Have jan Ivy, our chief communications officer, joining us to
tell us all about Opening Night and how you all
can still be a part of it.

Speaker 25 (01:08:09):
Jan good morning, Good morning, that's in vogue to my
favorite people on the entire planet. How are you all
doing this morning? I can't even tell you how excited
I am to be back with you.

Speaker 7 (01:08:21):
Oh well, we are so excited to have you back.
And I can't believe we're already at opening night for
season two, the second season.

Speaker 25 (01:08:30):
We blinked and we're back. And I could not be
more excited or honored to have Beth Troutman behind our
Pa Mike yet again for a second season. Those she
trusted us twice? Can you believe this? Like we talked
her into it again?

Speaker 6 (01:08:48):
Well, I remember a year ago and Beth was new
to soccer and she she called me and she said,
what am I exactly getting myself into here? And I said, well,
look you are. Your personality is infectious. You get people
excited no matter what it is. And I said, you
can learn soccer, and I think that you're going to
be a perfect fit. And I know that here a

(01:09:08):
year later, not only has the Carolina Ascent been a
perfect fit with the Charlotte area and a new team
in a crowded sports market, and the Carolina Ascent was
was a new kind of team and the following that
was generated around the team. But you know, Beth has
been you know, just like it's fit like a glove.

Speaker 25 (01:09:24):
I thought, absolutely, she has been one of our greatest
community ambassadors. We are thrilled to have her back again.
It is just an honor. We keep sucking her into
the organization little step by step. But bo I will
recall something you and I talked about. I guess it
was close to a year ago that you said, you know,

(01:09:46):
Beth Trouton then is a Swiss army knife of talent.
And again, cheers to you because you get the nail
on the head absolutely correct.

Speaker 7 (01:09:56):
Oh my gosh, you guys are making me, making me blush.
Let's let's tell folks how they can come out to
this weekend's match Opening Night. And you all have really
really put a lot of hard work into Opening Night.
You have so many special events planned for fans, special gifts.
Voovi Zella's given out, which if you don't know what
that is, you need one in your life. Is there's

(01:10:18):
big long like ricola horns.

Speaker 6 (01:10:20):
See that's what I mean. Like somebody listening of Vovoozilla,
I don't know what it is, but I want one,
you need one.

Speaker 4 (01:10:27):
You do.

Speaker 25 (01:10:27):
They're They're loud and obnoxious and fun. They're just full
of fun. So yes, we have those for the kiddos.
We have rally towels for the bigger kiddos. We'll say
all all, we have such a circus of activity prior
to the prior to the game. So our day really

(01:10:49):
kicks off over at Central Piedmont Squad for the base
Camp Bash. So let me remind everybody. It starts at
two thirty to five thirty excuse me, two thirty to five,
and we're going to have a live DJ over there.
We'll have food trucks, we'll have the bouncy house, we'll
have that okay, black light mini golf, so I can't

(01:11:10):
wait to see that because I'm not even sure what
that is, and I'm sure if you're of a certain
age you do know. And so then we're going to
open up the gates at five, which is earlier than normal,
and we're going to give the big kids rally cowls
and the little the smaller children will get the zuzuvelas.

(01:11:31):
And then we have a band that will be starting
to play in the Beach Club at five twenty and
that is a band called the Bourbon Suns, So y'all
can google that Bourbon Suys and we're very excited to
have them. Then the festival just continues. Honestly, we have
so much leading up into the game. We have a

(01:11:53):
celebration of soccer that's going on with various universities and
academies in attendance. Then kickoff is at seven, and I
will say we have none other than our local celebrities
from the Johnson C. Smith Marching Band that is going
to perform our national anthem and do our halftime show.

(01:12:18):
I don't know if y'all ever seen them or not,
but they are just one thousand percent of entertainment. You
cannot sit and watch the Johnson C. Smith Marching Band.
You are going to be on your feet, rocking and rolling.
So super excited to have them. Fantastic game. Obviously we're
gonna win, so we're going to bring home a w

(01:12:39):
you know that. And then postgame we are gonna top
it off. We're gonna put the icing right on this
cake and it's going to be a fireworks show.

Speaker 6 (01:12:49):
Wow.

Speaker 25 (01:12:49):
So you name it, We've got it. On Saturday and
Saturday night all at the American Legion Memorial Stadium.

Speaker 7 (01:12:58):
And mind, folks, actually, how incredible these ladies are. And
there's a reason that soccer is called the beautiful game.
These ladies play hard, they play their hearts out. These
games are so so much fun to watch. But let's
also point out we should have won the entire league
championship last year if it hadn't been for a bad call.

(01:13:21):
They were off sides. I'm gonna say it all all
over and over and over again. We should have won
that game.

Speaker 25 (01:13:28):
Well, you're not gonna get me to argue that point
that you just made, but I'm only going to focus
our attention on our upcoming Yes, like you said, the
amazing talent that we have from our players, the community
work that they do is incredible. And let me just
say this, they it is a beautiful game. These ladies

(01:13:51):
are our beautiful people inside and out. They care about
their Charlotte community. They are giving back just tenfold. They
love living in Charlotte and they really appreciate the community support.
And let me just say this, they can't do it
without community support. Like we need Charlotte to come out,

(01:14:14):
We need them loud and proud in the stands to
support these professional athletes that have you know, focused their
careers on professional soccer. And you know, Charlotte has been wonderful,
but we just want to keep the accelerator down and
we just want to keep filling the bowl and we

(01:14:34):
just invite everyone out to come experience that, you know,
excitement and pride. It is so prideful to watch them play.
And I know best you understand that it's just amazing
some of the things that they can do and how
they do it and the grace that they do it
with power, grace, grit, they check all the boxes.

Speaker 6 (01:14:56):
Well, it's one thing to be an inaugural team, and
that's great, but it's even better to come back with
the following that you've built and as Beth was pointing out,
a playoff team and an incredible first season. And so
now you're coming back now when you go Saturday, and
now you say you really going to the Carolina Ascents
House because they spend a season developing that and playing

(01:15:17):
and and so this is going to be great. So
it's it's game one of season number two. Tampa Bay
is the opponent coming up on Saturday night at the
American Legion Memorial Stadium, which, by the way, hopefully you
saw it last season, but if you haven't been there recently,
completely refurbished, it's not what you remember it if you
haven't been there in a while. So so many great
reasons to go see the Ascent, and.

Speaker 7 (01:15:37):
You can grab tickets at Carolina Ascent dot com.

Speaker 25 (01:15:41):
Absolutely, thank y'all so much. I enjoy visiting with you
whenever I can, and Bess, I will see you live
and in person very soon.

Speaker 7 (01:15:51):
You better believe it. You expect a big hug when
I see you on Saturday night.

Speaker 6 (01:16:04):
That's right, Beth Valley, thank you, Jan We'll see what
some of you.

Speaker 1 (01:16:09):
This is good morning Beattsy with Boat Hobson and Beth
Trout back boos.

Speaker 4 (01:16:14):
I don't lose, I win. I wit Holawyer.

Speaker 7 (01:16:19):
That's my job, that's what I do.

Speaker 4 (01:16:22):
Well. Bill Graham knows this a lot more.

Speaker 8 (01:16:24):
We can do together.

Speaker 22 (01:16:25):
I can't do it, you can't do it alone, but
together we can do it.

Speaker 6 (01:16:35):
Always a good day when we can bring on our
longtime legal analyst from the law offices of Wallace and Graham.
Bill Graham is back with us on a Thursday morning.

Speaker 22 (01:16:43):
Hi Bill, good morning, how's everybody.

Speaker 7 (01:16:46):
We have missed you. We are great. We hope you are.

Speaker 22 (01:16:49):
I hope your indigestion is better.

Speaker 7 (01:16:52):
Well, it is because I have Zelman's minty mouth and
you can't eat.

Speaker 22 (01:16:57):
Like you're at Concord High and.

Speaker 6 (01:17:02):
Well, we have a lot of headlines to get to.
Yesterday was an interesting day in Washington. Some survivors Epstein
survivors spoke publicly for the first time at an event
on Capitol Hill to support a bill to release files.
I'm going to play a bit of a montage of
audio of some of those who spoke yesterday.

Speaker 9 (01:17:20):
You have so much influence and power in this situation.
Please use that influence and power to help us.

Speaker 10 (01:17:26):
Please President Trump, pass this bill and help us make
us feel like our voices are finally being heard.

Speaker 11 (01:17:34):
This is not just my story. It is about every
survivor who carries invisible scars.

Speaker 4 (01:17:39):
It's about the.

Speaker 11 (01:17:40):
Way we live with daily. It is about the family's
broken and the future stolen. So I ask you, President
Trump and members of Congress, why do we continue to
cover up.

Speaker 7 (01:17:53):
Sexual abuse and assault?

Speaker 11 (01:17:55):
Who are we covering for?

Speaker 7 (01:17:58):
Let the public know the truth, mister President Donald J.

Speaker 12 (01:18:00):
Trump. I am a registered Republican, not that that matters
because this is not political. However, I cordially invite you
to the Capital to meet me in person so you
can understand this is not a hoax.

Speaker 7 (01:18:10):
We are real human beings.

Speaker 6 (01:18:12):
So this was a bipartisan group of legislators and their
victims pushed that are pushing to pass the Epstein Files
Transparency Act, and that's a bill that would force Attorney
General Pambondi to publish all unclassified information about the Epstein case. So, Bill,
you're seeing this unfold yesterday, and I have some more

(01:18:32):
audio here in a second, but I just want to
get your take at a base level as to where
we are with this story.

Speaker 22 (01:18:38):
Yeah, so just remind all the listeners. Good to talk
to you again. Both that Congress went into recess a
little early because Speaker Johnson was having trouble keeping the
caucus corralled on this issue. We've got Marjorie Taylor Green
and Tom Massey who are sort of leading the charge.

Speaker 6 (01:18:56):
They're two votes short, I.

Speaker 22 (01:18:59):
Believe, of being able to have the sufficient number to
get this thing moved forward. Now, what's going to happen here,
I predict is you're going to run into a continued
pressure continued drum.

Speaker 28 (01:19:12):
Beat by those on the right, the podcasters, the influencers
on the political side, and the like Joe Rogans of
the world, if you like So's, the pressure is going
to continue to be applied on the administration to release
whatever is left that the courts will allow them to

(01:19:34):
release so as to protect those who we may not
know about at this stage.

Speaker 6 (01:19:39):
Of the game.

Speaker 22 (01:19:40):
And when that pressure, if they don't get the votes,
just to look on the horizon for all your listeners,
the government shutdown issue looms on the horizon.

Speaker 8 (01:19:54):
Now.

Speaker 6 (01:19:55):
If these two issues.

Speaker 22 (01:19:56):
Come together, it's going to be a political, big time
infight in the Republican Party between those folks that are
closest to the president and those folks that think that
there's a deep state conspiracy here. And they're going to
continue to get louder and louder and louder. So this
issue is not going away, despite the fact that the
President would wish it would go away.

Speaker 7 (01:20:17):
One of the conversations that keeps coming up is they
not only want the rest of the files released, which
some thirty three thousand pages were released to Congress. Congress
is now saying that a lot of that was already
public knowledge, but a lot of people want to see
what they say as a client list.

Speaker 12 (01:20:36):
Now.

Speaker 7 (01:20:36):
Pam Bondi a few months ago, it was the early
part of July, said that there is no client list.
But yesterday on Capitol Hill, one of the women who
says that they were victimized by Jeffrey Epstein, she said, hey, look,
we can put together a client list. Here's that sound.

Speaker 29 (01:20:55):
Transparracy is justice released the files and the secrecy and
stand with us and declaring that no one, no billionaires,
no politicians, not world leaders, is above the law. And
let me announce now, several of us Epstein survivors have

(01:21:18):
been discussing creating our own list of names. We know
the names, many of us were abused by them. Now,
together as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we

(01:21:38):
all know.

Speaker 4 (01:21:38):
We're regularly in.

Speaker 29 (01:21:40):
The Epstein world, and it will be done by survivors
and for survivors.

Speaker 7 (01:21:48):
No one else is involved.

Speaker 29 (01:21:50):
Stay tuned for more details on that, because history is watching,
and so are the women who will come after us.

Speaker 7 (01:22:02):
So here's my question, Bills. As they say that they
will put together a list, we know that Attorney Todd
Blanche sat down and had a conversation with Gleine Maxwell,
who was convicted of being part of this human trafficking
ring with Epstein, and she said that she would testify
in front of in front of Congress. So the question is,

(01:22:25):
from a legal standpoint, who is better at revealing should
shouldn't we believe it, shouldn't we be believing survivors versus
the person who was convicted of being part of the crime.

Speaker 22 (01:22:41):
Well, remember, Glene Maxwell is in a detention center federal
I believe, and she's been moved to a minimum security facility,
which I'm not sure that was a good look on
behalf of the administration. But let's go past that and
get to the issue at hand. Then, the notion here
that Glene Maxwell is going to be forthcoming with something

(01:23:05):
that may be not coloring in the in the President's
circle in a favorable light. She's bucking for a pardon
and everybody knows that, and that's already been asked before.
So I'm not sure that her testimony is going to
be that persuasive. Is if what she always talks about

(01:23:25):
is you know, the president himself, and reveals no other information.
Now the rubber and the road are going to come together,
if these victims truly.

Speaker 6 (01:23:35):
Come forward, ask.

Speaker 22 (01:23:37):
That they be giving a hearing in the house or
whatever other form, and start releasing names. And then that
comes back and forth between those that are the accused
and those names that are being released in the testimony
of the victims. And then you have Glene Maxwell sitting
over there in custody, and then she says, well, I

(01:23:58):
can come, you know, come to to find clear all
this up. She's not going to be a very believable
witness at that stage of the game because her testimony
is going to be seen as self serving. She's trying
to get out, of course, she'd want to try to
get out, and her lawyer's trying to get her out,
So her lawyer is going to say anything that puts
his client in the most favorable light. So that's the

(01:24:21):
dynamic that we're going to be going forward with. And
if you don't believe the first hand testimony of the
victims and you want to believe somebody that has got
a dog in the fight of getting out of jail,
well then you know that's where you put your values.
But I would have to say that the compelling evidence
is on the side of the victims here.

Speaker 4 (01:24:41):
This is good morning, Beaty.

Speaker 6 (01:24:47):
We continue with legal analyst Bill Graham from the law
offices of Wallace and Graham. We're talking about latest developments
in the Epstein case. You had Capitol Hill yesterday, Epstein
survivors speaking out. You also had lawmakers. We'll get to
one of those lawmakers momentarily, but just so you know,
President Trump was asked about the gathering of people outside

(01:25:10):
the Capitol. He was meeting with the president of Poland
yesterday and as is custom now to take questions about
anything and everything once you finish the official stuff, here
was the question.

Speaker 13 (01:25:21):
There have been survivors and Jeffrey Epstein speaking at a
press conference on Capitol Hill. They're calling for these case files,
its docums to your release. And Thomas Massey, who is thought,
who is sponsoring at dis darted positions, you'd get the
House to vote release those documents, says he hasn't be
you're implicated in these styles. But many of your friends
and donors maybe, And he says that's why the Justice

(01:25:43):
parkeetness predacting them in slow walking the release art. He's
the Justice Department protecting any friends or donors, sir.

Speaker 14 (01:25:50):
So this is a Democrat hoax that never ends. You know.
It reminds me a little of the Kennedy situation.

Speaker 15 (01:25:58):
We gave him everything over and over again, more and
more and more, and nobody's ever satisfied. From what I understand,
I could check, but from what I understand, thousands of
pages of documents have been given. But it's really a
Democrat hoax because they're trying to get people to talk
about something that's totally irrelevant to the success that we've

(01:26:19):
had as a nation since I've been president.

Speaker 6 (01:26:21):
Okay, so that's a bit of his reaction and real
quick here. Marjorie Taylor Green was on Real America late
yesterday with Eric Bowling.

Speaker 5 (01:26:29):
I told the President this morning, I want him to
see I want to see him bring these women into
the Oval office, and I want him to be the
hero and champion of this issue. And I want him
to fight for these women because I know him to
be a fighter, and when he fights for something, for
an issue, and he fights for people, especially innocent victims

(01:26:51):
of Jeffrey Epstein, then he beats everybody.

Speaker 7 (01:26:55):
And I really want.

Speaker 5 (01:26:56):
To see President Trump do that, and I hope he
changes his mind.

Speaker 6 (01:26:59):
Today he called it a hoax.

Speaker 5 (01:27:01):
While these we these women were speaking out and they
were saying, we're not a hoax, we're human beings. And
and I think I think we need to see see
something turn around there and I'll say this there he.

Speaker 16 (01:27:14):
Can prove, he can prove it by releasing let us
decide if.

Speaker 6 (01:27:19):
It's so obviously there, Bill, I mean Marjorie Taylor Green,
one of the staunchest supporters that we know of of
President Trump in recent years, and she's calling for this.
So uh as you keep saying this is not this
is not going to go away, But I'm curious as
where you think it's going next.

Speaker 10 (01:27:37):
Oh.

Speaker 22 (01:27:37):
I think that the drum bea is going to continue
and they're going to have to eventually release the files
and then we'll have to see, you know, if there's
any there there. But you know, these folks or proverbial, uh,
you know, something with a bone, dog with a bone.
You know, they're they're chewing on it. They're going to
continue to chew on it, and they're gonna they're gonna

(01:28:01):
have to release the This issues not going away, and
I know the White House wants it to go away.
And you know they've tried to throw out some distractions.
President will continue to do that. He wants it to
go away. I know he thinks it's a hoax, but
no one else does.

Speaker 4 (01:28:17):
Uh, So we'll have to see.

Speaker 22 (01:28:19):
But you know, if this issue gets woven into government
shutdown issues, we're going to face some you know, political
infighting that we hadn't seen before.

Speaker 6 (01:28:33):
So be on the look for that.

Speaker 7 (01:28:35):
Well, while we have you on the line, I want
to switch gears to some other legal headlines that i'd
love to get your take on. A judge just ruled
that Donald Trump's tariffs may be unlawful, and now the
Trump administration and Donald Trump himself is saying that they
want the Supreme Court to expedite a ruling on these

(01:28:55):
tariffs because it could have a huge impact on our
economy and certainly on global economy. Talk talk us through
this issue and this the ruling initially that the tariffs
are unlawful, and then what we might see happen.

Speaker 22 (01:29:12):
Yeah, so let's go back and do a little bit
of constitutional law.

Speaker 4 (01:29:16):
One oh one.

Speaker 22 (01:29:18):
Tariffs are essentially a tax. We know that the taxing
authority is with the Congress, not with the executive branch.
The executive branch executes the taxes that Congress approves. And
so because the tariff did not originate in the House

(01:29:39):
of Representative, where it should be is according to the Constitution,
specifically the Ways and Means Committee, and then perkoles, you know,
percolates on up the chain of command. The judge said, hey,
this didn't come from anything from the congressional side of
the House. This came from the White House and declaring
some you know, artificial liberation day, and we're going to

(01:30:01):
tear for all these people, and if they don't get
in line, we're going to tear if someone that's a
congressional function. Okay, that's just black letter law on the Constitution.
So that was generally the basis for the tariff ruling.
It's going to go to Supreme Court, and I can't
imagine the Supreme Court is going to rule differently than

(01:30:22):
the lower court ruled here. There may be some descending
opinions and picking away at the edges, but I can't imagine.
If the President wants the Supreme Court to take a
look at it, I'm sure they will, and I'm sure
they will rule in consistent with what the lower courts.

Speaker 6 (01:30:37):
Have already ruled.

Speaker 20 (01:30:39):
Bill.

Speaker 6 (01:30:39):
The problem is now.

Speaker 22 (01:30:40):
The problem is we've collected all these hundreds of billions
of dollars. We're going to have to refund that money
back to those that were charged, so that'll be another issue.

Speaker 4 (01:30:48):
Bill.

Speaker 6 (01:30:49):
We appreciate the time. We're up against the clock, as
you know, but thanks for the time this morning. We'll
talk to you soon. Take care of that indigestion.

Speaker 7 (01:30:58):
That's right, I'll take care of you too.

Speaker 4 (01:31:02):
Man.

Speaker 6 (01:31:02):
That's a Bill Graham from the law Offices of Wallace
and Graham. We have another hour ahead on a busy
Thursday morning. Good Morning BT.

Speaker 7 (01:31:09):
You want to be good? Or do you want to
be somebody who changes the world? Can I be both?

Speaker 1 (01:31:16):
From News Talk eleven ten and ninety nine three DOUBLET.

Speaker 25 (01:31:20):
I have been around a long time for this has
the makings of a team that can bring light from
the darkness.

Speaker 1 (01:31:26):
This is Good Morning BET with Bo Thompson and Beth
trout Man.

Speaker 6 (01:31:32):
That can't be On the week's six minutes past nine
o'clock on WBT Thursday morning, We've got Jones Angel to
our heel Sports network coming up at nine thirty five,
getting all the Bill Belichick fall out. Are you going

(01:31:55):
to be brave enough to tell him what you call
call him now.

Speaker 7 (01:31:58):
Bill Bellareck. Yeah, yeah, Jones will love it. You think
I love it, He won't necessarily love it because Jones
and I graduated about the same We were at Chapel
Hill together at the at the same time. So you
know we have we have a bond.

Speaker 6 (01:32:13):
We have a bond there seven oh four five, seven
eleven ten. The text line driven by Liberty Buick GMC
getting kind of heated, is that right?

Speaker 26 (01:32:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:32:21):
Well, of course, anytime we talk about the Epstein files,
anytime we have conversations about what could potentially come out,
how many people are involved, People are passionate about this
issue in good in good ways and in bad ways.
But I don't I don't know if focusing on on

(01:32:42):
on justice is ever bad. And I think a lot
of people don't feel like people with power and money
will ever be brought to justice. And I, you know,
I understand where people are coming from when they say that,
when they've seen so many people escape justice by utilizing
their power and money.

Speaker 6 (01:33:00):
We are in the business of telling people what's going on, right,
It's what we live for. You get a charge out
of it. That's why I brought you into this mix
because you enjoyed as much as I do. We love
to get up in the morning and tell you here's
what's happening. You missed this last night or do you
know this? We want you to know. So that's what
we're in the business of doing, updating you. Now, what
you do with that is your business. That's always been

(01:33:22):
my motto and that's what we continue to do no
matter what the news is. And I'm here to tell
you good morning, BT. Business is good. So the question
is over the weekend will business be big? Well, no,
I won't be this weekend because they're Aaron Jacksonville. But

the newest offering from the chefs and the culinary experts
over at the b of A. Because this is one.
Actually let's see here, Bernie, did I give you this one?
I don't know. I didn't give you the first. Let
me see if I've got This'll.

Speaker 7 (01:34:03):
Just anytime that Xavier Leget is involved in a Panther's
story of full disclosure, he is on my fantasy football team,
so you guys know it loves Xavier legett now, as
Bo was saying, and we're about to let you hear
all about it. The uh the chefs apparently love him too.

Speaker 6 (01:34:24):
So here's what I was looking for. Because Bernie, you
have one clip and hang on too that because I'm
going to play it in a minute. But Xavier Ligett
was on a podcast right around Super Bowl time or
maybe it was actually late December, but they were talking
to him about what he likes to eat.

Speaker 2 (01:34:39):
I have another question for you. We asked everybody, what's
your hottest food take? So like, is there something weird
that you'd like to eat or something you don't like
to eat that you can never eat that most people
would eat, you know, Like, what's something in the food
industry that you you know they have a weird opinion on?

Speaker 6 (01:34:54):
Well, y'all that video when I said, I you're a coat?

Speaker 8 (01:35:02):
What I said, what do you?

Speaker 24 (01:35:05):
What do you mean?

Speaker 8 (01:35:05):
Raccoon?

Speaker 2 (01:35:06):
Like the raccoon, like a raccoon that you see in
the chain? Okay, where do you even eat that at?

Speaker 7 (01:35:12):
Where do you even get that?

Speaker 14 (01:35:14):
I hunted? I skinned him Coolo out it.

Speaker 4 (01:35:22):
So what was the last time you had a raccoon?

Speaker 6 (01:35:26):
Thanksgiving? So that was and it was. I believe it's
the wide receiver player for the Lions who has has
a podcast. So many players that podcast. Yeah, I think
that's who it was. So uh he says that on
the podcast, and you know the raccoon thing. And then
he showed up at the Kentucky Derby, remember this.

Speaker 7 (01:35:43):
Right, and and it created a viral video tasting all
of the delights at the Kentucky Derby in only the
delightful way that Xavier Legatt could.

Speaker 6 (01:35:53):
So now your fantasy football team member, they've taken they've
they've they've taken this and they've they've they've used it
for the power of good. Right, because when you go
to Bank of America Stadium for the home opener, you
can have the Raccoon sandwich. It's a thing now.

Speaker 4 (01:36:13):
Don't need look like raccoon.

Speaker 20 (01:36:16):
Shall we call it the mass Bandit?

Speaker 4 (01:36:18):
I like that on cover.

Speaker 24 (01:36:19):
You can now grab the mass band of Sandwich here
at Make of America Stadium this season, the.

Speaker 4 (01:36:24):
Mass man of Sandwich that they gonna be good all
across the.

Speaker 6 (01:36:27):
Group, good all across the universe. The masked Bandit Sandwich
is now an item that you can buy off the
menu at Bank of America Stadium.

Speaker 7 (01:36:40):
This is so exciting. And by the way, in that
video that you just heard, he's wearing a cowboy hat,
which is fantastic. So the Masked Bandit sandwich consists of
slow smoked brisket, Carolina coleslaw, melted cheddar cheese, and barbecue sauce,
all served on a raccoon bread roll. Meaning I think

(01:37:01):
that it's going to look masked. It's going to be
it's going to be kind of a multicolored role that
makes it look like a raccoon's mask. So it's barbecue brisket,
it's not actually a raccoon sandwich.

Speaker 6 (01:37:13):
Saying here anywhere, how much it's going to cost?

Speaker 7 (01:37:15):
Oh, four hundred and forty three dollars, I'm kidding. I
made that number up. But you know how you've you
guys have been to a concert or a game or
any you know recently and you've paid out the nose
for for food.

Speaker 6 (01:37:28):
But you know what paid out the raccoon snout?

Speaker 7 (01:37:31):
I would. I will, I will one hundred percent, one
hundred percent. If I'm at lucky enough to go to
a game this season, I will one hundred percent try
this sandwich.

Speaker 6 (01:37:41):
Oh yeah, same here in honor of Xavier Legette. So
they've harnessed the power of the raccoon for Thanksgiving and
now it's a it's a well it's you know, in
its own way as an offering at Bank of America
Stadium on the official stadium menu for home games this season.

Speaker 7 (01:37:56):
But it means that we've embraced him. It means that
we all have embraced him with our hearts and now
we're going to embrace him with their mouth.

Speaker 6 (01:38:04):
Well, and some people put them on their fantasy team. Yeah,
like you and your fantasy team? Is your is your
is your menu? Is your roster set for tonight? Because
you know you have to have you have any Eagles
or Cowboys tonight.

Speaker 7 (01:38:16):
I have the entire Eagles defense.

Speaker 6 (01:38:19):
Yeah, which means you have the it's the team defense, right.

Speaker 7 (01:38:22):
Yeah, So that's that's good.

Speaker 6 (01:38:24):
Right, it's a lot of it's a lot of Eagles,
is it it is? I?

Speaker 7 (01:38:26):
I uh yeah, I'm excited.

Speaker 6 (01:38:29):
Now do you know what to do tonight?

Speaker 4 (01:38:30):
Now?

Speaker 8 (01:38:31):
Nope?

Speaker 6 (01:38:31):
Okay, well nine thirteen on WBT traffic check right now,
Boomer von Can he's the man, he really is.

Speaker 7 (01:38:38):
You'll try this sandwich right the mask bandit sandwich.

Speaker 6 (01:38:42):
I'll try it.

Speaker 7 (01:38:42):
I mean it's barbecue. It's it's slow smoked brisket and
coleslaw and cheddar cheese.

Speaker 6 (01:38:46):
I'll go for it.

Speaker 8 (01:38:47):
Come on, right, you know what scary is?

Speaker 21 (01:38:49):
What I understand Xavier when you talk.

Speaker 7 (01:38:51):
Yeah, my uncle sounds a lot like Xavier, so I
I I totally I do too.

Speaker 6 (01:38:59):
What Boomer's it's been Boomer Here's that It sounds like this.
Try the raccoon.

Speaker 21 (01:39:03):
Sandwichailed it right, man?

Speaker 6 (01:39:07):
Try that raccoon?

Speaker 21 (01:39:08):
Said, Hey, I knew a lady back home that you
used to eat postam Oh.

Speaker 4 (01:39:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:39:12):
They would trap possum, put them in a cage for
about four or five days, to feed them spinach and
greens to clean them out, they would say, and then
it was dinner time.

Speaker 6 (01:39:21):
I couldn't go that way bit, you know, Boom, I
know a lady. Her name is Do you think don't
you think she would eat a raccoon sandwich?

Speaker 4 (01:39:30):
Yes, just call it anything.

Speaker 7 (01:39:34):
Yeah, I'll try anything once.

Speaker 6 (01:39:35):
Guys' nine twenty on WBT Bowen Beth here Jones Angel
coming up at nine thirty five on the heels of
the Tar Hills failure to launch on Monday night at

(01:39:56):
least after the first drive. We'll talk to Jones about
the Heels coming to play the Charlotte forty nine ers
at Jerry Richardson Stadium coming up on Saturday night. So
this is the kind of friend that Beth Troutman is.
For my birthday, it's brought me a case of my
favorite diet soda. Then she turns around not twenty four

(01:40:19):
hours later or about thereabouts, sends me a note says
these seven artificial sweeteners may be linked to cognitive decline
according to a new study. Now she loves to send
me these stories about how the stuff that I'm putting
into my body are working against me.

Speaker 7 (01:40:34):
I worry about you, and you know I love I
love getting up and talking with you every single day.
That I want you to be able to remember the
conversations that we have and most importantly, I want you
to be able to, you know, do this for another
twenty five years.

Speaker 6 (01:40:50):
It's okay. My wife every night says the same thing
about Jeopardy at seven o'clock. Come on upstairs, we got
a word off cognitive decline.

Speaker 7 (01:40:57):
Well, and as much diet coke as you have had
in the over the course of the last what twenty
five years of your life.

Speaker 6 (01:41:03):
So is this why you're telling me that she always
beats me at jeopardy?

Speaker 7 (01:41:05):
Could be, it could be. Listen to this bo and
it is because I love you so much, and I
love all of the folks out there who might be partaking,
might be loving the coke zero and the diet coke
as well. Artificial sweeteners. I'm reading some of this out
loud to you. Artificial sweeteners have long been marketed as
a healthier alternative to sugar, but new research suggests they

(01:41:28):
may not be so harmless after all for your brain health.
A large long term BO long term study has found
a link between consuming low and no calorie sweeteners and
cognitive decline, especially in people under the age of sixty.
It is the first of its kind study. It adds

(01:41:49):
to the body of research suggesting that artificial sweeteners may
come with health consequences, but they also have benefits such
as being lowering calories, reducing the risks of cavities, and
aiding in blood sugar maintenance. But this new research shows
that it might not be so great for your overall

(01:42:10):
mental health. But do you want to know which sweeteners?
And you can look on the back of your can.

Speaker 6 (01:42:14):
No cavities, no.

Speaker 19 (01:42:17):
Aspertain is that one of them?

Speaker 7 (01:42:19):
So here you go, Bernie. This study followed twelve thousand,
twelve thousand middle aged adults for eight years and they
measured their dietary intake of these seven common sweeteners aspartame, saccharin,
is it a sulfame? K oh love that a erythridol, sorbitol, xylatol,

(01:42:43):
and tagatose.

Speaker 6 (01:42:46):
Now the question is I'm sure like I had all
of those yesterday, but like where is that all in
the diet coke? Like where do all those live? I
know that aspartame lives in the diet coke, Well what
about the other stuff?

Speaker 7 (01:42:59):
They live in a lot of low sugar and low fat.
They can live in yogurts, in different foods, but in
drinks mostly, uh, don't powdered, you know, the powdered drinks
that you can do that for lemonade things like that,
the low calorie powdered lemonades have artificial sweeteners. And they

(01:43:21):
do want to point out that in this study sweeteners
like stevia and sucralose were not available for the study.
Sucralose is in a lot of you'll see sucralose in
a lot of zero calorie and low calorie.

Speaker 19 (01:43:35):
Stages, like, yeah, we're good. We don't want to do that.
We don't want you to know, we don't want you
to know.

Speaker 7 (01:43:39):
Well, I'll tell you one thing that I learned during
the pH D weight loss when I was on the
system of some of the breakfast items that they had,
like their oatmeal had superlose in it. And again superlose
not part of this study, but I had an allergic
reaction to superlos. It wasn't something I had ever I
guess consumed really or at least not in in large amounts.

(01:44:00):
And I broke out in hives on both of my arms.

Speaker 8 (01:44:03):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (01:44:04):
Yeah, it must have been wearing short, long sleeves that day.

Speaker 4 (01:44:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:44:07):
Well, yeah it was in the winter time, so yeah,
I probably was wearing long, long sleeves.

Speaker 6 (01:44:11):
You guys love to uh. I mean, we talk about
my intake of of diet drinks and guilty as charged.
But I have been trying, as I've told you to
set I'm replacing like it's not going to work. If
I if I go call Turkey on it, it's gonna
give me headaches. It's going to be it's just it's
not going to work. It's it's but but if I'm
trying to, and I have been somewhat successful with replacing

(01:44:35):
maybe every other one. I'm not quite there yet, but
I'm trying to with the the the uh my wife
calls it sparkly water.

Speaker 7 (01:44:43):
Uh, we're like Lacroix.

Speaker 6 (01:44:45):
Yeah, the Lacroix, the bubbling water, sparkling water. That's what
I was looking Not so much Lacroix. I'm more of
the bubbly Yeah. I like the flavors. But I I'm
I had to teach myself because the first time you
drink one of those, and you're used to drinking even
diet drinks, because the diet drinks taste good.

Speaker 7 (01:45:02):
Well, the zero, the zero versus the diet I think
coke zero tastes very very close to coke, as does
Doctor Pepper zero.

Speaker 6 (01:45:09):
But it's not even zero. But see that's for me,
that's not even the point. Like I've I've been drinking
the diet drink so long, I don't want I'm not
looking for the taste of regular coke.

Speaker 7 (01:45:18):
You I like sugar.

Speaker 6 (01:45:19):
I like the taste of diet coke. Like I think
diet coke's better than regular coke. At this point in
my life, I do. And I know that sounds strange,
but people who love diet coke know what I mean.
There's a there's a crispness to it. But I'm telling
you I had to. I had to train myself to
actually think that the sparkling water was good, because the
first time you drink it, it's like, whoa, there's nothing there.

Speaker 7 (01:45:41):
See, it's all about training yourself. I bet we could
train you to eat like asparagus and cabbage and Brussels sprouts.
You have to train yourself to tell yourself it's good.

Speaker 6 (01:45:51):
Don't you love it when you just realize that you've
become It's like becoming a meme. Like I just know
when I gave Bernie a new one, like, oh, big
weekly segment, What did bow to eat this pat?

Speaker 7 (01:46:01):
What did we train him to do?

Speaker 6 (01:46:03):
But you have to train yourself with the sparkling water, Like,
it's not how it tastes, it's the it's the aftertaste.
It's when you exit, like when you breathe, you it's
this essence. You know what I'm saying, No, no, no, you're right,
And that's the whole, and sometimes I think, Wow, they
have hook line and Sinker pulled in all these people
to spend all this money on drinks that don't there's
really no taste to it. It's just like an essence.

(01:46:23):
So but all of which to tell you, I have
trained myself to actually like it.

Speaker 7 (01:46:28):
Okay, Well, it's good that you're doing that, because the
good move on impact of the study. Listen to this,
It's good that you're doing this now. The impact was
greater of the artificial sweeteners on people under the age
of sixty, with no significant association seen in those over sixty,
which suggests dietary habits in midlife, decades before something like

(01:46:51):
dementia symptoms may appear, could have lifelong consequences for brain help.

Speaker 6 (01:46:57):
I feel like you keep saying under the age of sixty,
but keep wanting to say under the age of sixty,
but closer to sixty than ever. You're well under sixty,
because you know now I'm I'm in the fifties.

Speaker 7 (01:47:08):
But what we're saying to you is that your habits
now could have a huge impact on your brain health later.
And like I said, we want to be doing this
show for at least another twenty years. So I need
you here till at least seventy one.

Speaker 6 (01:47:21):
Seventy one, Yeah, put a target date on it, yeah
at least. Okay, Well, please pass the sparkly water.

Speaker 4 (01:47:28):
Hey, what's up?

Speaker 6 (01:47:29):
How you doing? Famdam?

Speaker 4 (01:47:30):
I like that.

Speaker 6 (01:47:31):
I don't know what it means, but I like it.

Speaker 24 (01:47:33):
Hey, how are you hi?

Speaker 7 (01:47:34):
We're great.

Speaker 1 (01:47:35):
You're a news show that is fun to listen to.

Speaker 4 (01:47:39):
This is Good Morning BET.

Speaker 6 (01:47:43):
Nine thirty seven on WBT Thursday Morning. The Bill Belichick
era again on Monday Night. We know now it was
not how he drew it up.

Speaker 7 (01:47:56):
Kind of just a wet paper towel of a day.

Speaker 6 (01:48:01):
So what happens now? It's on to Charlotte Charlotte forty
nine ers on Saturday night. Right here on WBT, Bill Belichick.
It's an interesting question yesterday in the news conference, this
is his first news conference since the Monday night loss,
and someone asked him about the size of the venue
you're about to play in. I know this is a
team that hay on, Bernie, that's the wrong one. I

(01:48:22):
gave you the wrong number. Let me have let's say
number three u NC three and audio sound technician go,
you're really coasting on.

Speaker 18 (01:48:32):
Saturday in the place at Olds fifteen thousand. To me,
is that the smallest thing you've ever coached in? And
how many nice is it? Knowing that there's still newness
for you at this point in your career.

Speaker 27 (01:48:40):
To be able to author coaching us like that, Well thanks, Well, yeah,
during a COVID year, I mean we played in front
of a couple hundred people in bigger stadium. So you know,
again we control we can control, so we control how
we prepare, how we play, and how many people are

(01:49:01):
aren't there, and whatever the weather is and all those
things we have no control over. We can just control
our our preparation, our performance, our attitude and how competitive
we play. And that's what we're going to focus on.
But yeah, I mean, whatever it is, it is, you know,
it's we honestly we take the approach. We can, you know,
play anywhere anytime, you know, day night, you know, home

(01:49:25):
away in a parking lot and in Ireland, in North Carolina,
in California, wherever it is. Just you know, we got
to be ready to play when the games are scheduled,
and we'll control.

Speaker 8 (01:49:35):
We in control, all right.

Speaker 6 (01:49:36):
So Belichick talking about playing at Jerry Richards to the
stadium and just on the side there, Bernie, I was
joking about audio technician play you know, is it Levin
who says, mister producer play the clip. Nothing against him,
but I'm going to if I need you to play
something I don't say, Bernie, will you please play that.
I appreciate mister producer go. I never feel like, let's

(01:49:56):
then here, Okay, I just want to make sure. Okay,
I'm sure nine thirty nine on WBT. Let's roll the
clock back to the win. Things were festive at Keenan
Stadium on Monday night.

Speaker 23 (01:50:10):
Here we go, second and goal for Carolina, first possession
of the ball game.

Speaker 20 (01:50:15):
Bopez in the pistol, with Hood behind him.

Speaker 8 (01:50:17):
He will hand to him, put right side.

Speaker 23 (01:50:19):
Swet's three.

Speaker 4 (01:50:23):
Down Carolina.

Speaker 20 (01:50:24):
What start for Pella.

Speaker 6 (01:50:26):
Checking But here it was a huge start. I heard
it right here on WBT on Monday night. And then
we know what happened after that. And let's bring on
the voice of the tar Heels, the guy you heard
right there and you hear him on every basketball and
football game for many years on the tar Heel Sports Network.
Jones Angel. Good morning to you, my friend.

Speaker 20 (01:50:46):
Hey guys, hope you all are doing well. Appreciate you
having me on as always, And yeah, you realized how
loud it really was, Darren Keenan when you hear those
of those highlights from early in the game, and you know,
it was a terrific day and gosh, great atmosphe your
great energy, great excitement, and unfortunately just didn't go the
way the Trios wanted on the field, uh, for the

(01:51:06):
duration of the game. And so you know, for Carolina
got to go back to work. Obviously, a lot lots
to work on after that game, and you got to
be better and Tarrios look to do that coming up
on Saturday.

Speaker 7 (01:51:17):
So Jones, I know how you feeling, How are you?
How are you feeling? And and my big question is
what what went wrong?

Speaker 20 (01:51:28):
The thing is that I'm feeling I feel like.

Speaker 6 (01:51:30):
Jones is a quarterback.

Speaker 7 (01:51:31):
I know, I do. I feel like Jones's.

Speaker 20 (01:51:32):
Playing so funny, there was so much anticipation, so much energy,
so much put on this one game. This is a
longer process than one game for Carolina, and and certainly
i'm i'm it was a disappointing outcome of disappointing performance.
There's no question about that. Tarrios would say that, but
but fortunately they do play again and the season is

(01:51:55):
not complete, and so, uh, I think for Carolina it
was a valuable experience in a lot of ways, but
the number one way is because they got to get
some data points on what this team is, you know,
with so many new players, so many different coaches, the
first college game for some of these coaches who have
a ton of professional experience but not as much college experience,

(01:52:18):
first time that these team or these players have been
together on the field playing somebody else. You know, really
they've only been together on the practice field for a month,
And so you get all these pieces of data and
pieces of information that you now have that you gives
you a better opportunity to best plan your path forward.

(01:52:38):
And so I think for Carolina that's the goal now obviously,
is to improve. And the great news is they have
three months to do so, and so you just got
to keep getting better. I thought, you asked what went wrong?
I thought Monday night, one of those two teams looked
like a team that had been together for a while
and had a returning quarterback who threw for four thousand

(01:52:59):
yards and had a bunch of pieces that understood each
other and looked like a team that had been together
for a while, and one team looked like a team
that was figuring stuff out a bunch of new guys.
And so if this is still an issue in week ten,
then it's a different discussion. But Carolina had a poor
Week one, there is no question about that. Now the

(01:53:20):
goal is can it improve and be better in week two,
and then better in week three, and then better in
week six and on down the line.

Speaker 6 (01:53:28):
Well, and a huge story, I mean, the score of
the game and how things happened after that first drive
became obviously the main talk, but we should not lose
sight of the fact that Max Johnson becomes a story
within that game, gets another chance on the field there
and go Lopez goes down. So where do we stand
in that situation with who's the signal caller and what

(01:53:50):
we think it's going to be for the season. The
bulk of the season, as you say, is still very
much in front of us.

Speaker 20 (01:53:57):
Sure, I mean, bo, I think you and I will
both probably learn that answer when the Tarios have their
first possession coming up on Saturday night against Charlotte and
Jerry Richardson Stadium. You may have heard that Bill Belichick
isn't one to give away a whole lot of information
out there about his team. So yeah, both those guys
will continue to compete and we'll see how it plays out.

(01:54:18):
For Carolina. I will say, in a night on the
field where there wasn't a lot of feel good for
the Heels, that that was a feel good story. I mean,
you have Max Johnson who had such a severe injury
a year ago, to the point I mean multiple surgeries,
to the point where there was legitimate question on you
know it, would they have to amputate his leg. I mean,

(01:54:41):
that's how serious this was. And so for him to
fight through all that adversity to not just be back
to the point where he's functioning on a day to
day basis, but to go play football and to do
it at a relatively high level. And the score was
out of hand when he came in there, but he
still went out there and he did it, and he
took some shots and he delivered the football and nine

(01:55:03):
of eleven for a touchdown, and his first touchdown back
is to his brother Jake. I mean, what It's like
a fairy tale. And so there was not a whole
lot on the field that Carolina felt good about But
that was pretty neat to see Max Johnson fight through
all of that adversity and be able to come back
and deliver and have have a really quality performance in

(01:55:24):
some special moments. That was fun to see.

Speaker 7 (01:55:26):
It really is that is a really really good story
that came out of that game. And this is what
we love about you, or what I love about you Jones,
is that you do You are an optimist and you
find the positive even even when even when we didn't
feel great coming in on Tuesday morning. You know, I
was saying on Tuesday after the after the game, I
was like, you think you think Tom Brady's available?

Speaker 20 (01:55:49):
Well, Beth, And here's the thing, I get it. I
get the disappointment. I was disappointed. Everybody was disappointed. You
wanted a better performance, and but I think what was
also important on on Monday night is that it's there.
Chapel Hill was incredible on Monday. That's something. Now the
goal is how do you keep repeating that. Obviously the

(01:56:10):
product on the field has to help you with that.
You've got to play good football because that's what people
are coming to see ultimately is the game. But it's
in there, and it can be something that big time
football can be here in Chapel Hill, and so I
think that was While that is no one's takeaway outside,

(01:56:32):
I think inside it's hey, this is in here, So
how do you again football? The product's got to be
there too, But how does this continue on a weekend,
week out, year in, year out basis where Chapel Hill
can be this on game day? And so totally understand
the deflation of how things played out on the field.

(01:56:52):
But again I go back to it was one game
and the Tarios do now need to continue to improve,
get better, so the product on the field catches up
to everything that was around it on Monday afternoon and evening.

Speaker 6 (01:57:04):
Well, and you've been in the voice of the Tar
Hills for a long time. It's basketball. I mean, you're
always taking everybody's best shot when you're Carolina. Now you
have the football spotlight with Belichick this season. We were
talking earlier about the fact that they're coming into Jerry
richards At Stadium here right down the road from us
and taking on the Charlotte forty nine ers. I mean,

(01:57:25):
not only is it a spectacle in Chapel Hill, it's
going to be a spectacle wherever you go. So you know,
every team that they play this season gets the spotlight
of Bill Belichick, no matter what's happening. So Saturday night,
I mean, not even a week after that first game,
and I think that's a good thing because I heard
Belichick talking yesterday, let's get onto the next thing and
let's let's focus on what's ahead. So seven o'clock on

(01:57:47):
Saturday night, airtime, six o'clock right here on WBT, Jones
and company have the call, and it's going to be exciting.
There's always going to be something to talk about, that's
for sure, no doubt.

Speaker 20 (01:57:57):
And yeah, just real quickly, you know Charlotte. Actually I
think Carolina and Charlotte kind of in similar situations just
as far as kind of the scenario of the game.
You know, they have a first year head coach and
Tim Alban, who I think is a really good coach,
had won ten games each of his last three seasons
at Ohio. They have a bunch of new players. They
didn't play as well as they wanted in their first game,

(01:58:19):
So both these teams are going to be looking for
a much better performance in Week two. And there's a
ton of familiar names on that roster for the Tarrios.
Their starting quarterback is Connor Harrell, who started games last
year for the Tarrios, and so there are plenty of
familiar faces as well. It should be a great atmosphere
coming up on Saturday night and both these teams. But
certainly I know from the Tario perspective they're looking to

(01:58:41):
improve and play a whole lot better.

Speaker 6 (01:58:43):
And of course right here on WBT, Jones appreciate the time.
We'll talk to you next week.

Speaker 20 (01:58:48):
Thanks, guys, I thought you soon.

This is a side note, guys and ladies out there,
like Connie, Pam, all the ladies who are out there
listening the perimenopause, Like there's a hole in my brain
where words go to die, and I make up words
in their place.

Speaker 6 (01:59:39):
Fellas you can take this one.

Speaker 7 (01:59:40):
On the other day, my friends were we were talking
and couldn't think of the word dentist, and so she
was like, you know, a tooth doctor. You know, it's
that kind of it's that kind of thing.

Speaker 6 (01:59:52):
Anyway, text he wants to be a dentist.

Speaker 7 (01:59:55):
We've been getting a lot of texts, including from from
Connie and other people who are letting us know. And
I'm really sad about this. Mamma Dips in Chapel Hill
closed this summer after fifty years in business. Boomer was
talking about Mamma Dips in Chapel Hill with fried chicken
and fried catfish. They closed in July after fifty years.

Speaker 6 (02:00:17):
Mark Garrison got to him for the restaurant review.

Speaker 7 (02:00:19):
Oh, I don't know. I don't know. It's sad though.
I'm very sad that I didn't know about Mamma Dips.
And I lived in Chapel Hill for four years.

Speaker 6 (02:00:27):
Yeah, I mean I did not go to Chapel Hill.
And I know all about Time Out.

Okayically I missed it. Carburrito that was my jam back
in the day, which there's one in Davidson now, but
Carburto it started in Carborough, which isn't Carburrito a brilliant
name for a burrito chain that starts in Carborough. Carburrito
and I used to I managed a clothing store, gosh,
my senior year of college, and I was such a

(02:01:00):
great manager that sometimes I am now best friend who
became my roommate in California. She was made of honor
my wedding. But we met working at this clothing store,
and we used to put a sign on the door
that said to be back in five minutes. We even
go get chips and cheese and burritos at car Breed.
So terrible is.

Speaker 6 (02:01:15):

Speaker 7 (02:01:17):
The rat Scaler's not there anymore, No, I don't think so.
They used to have the world's best like greasy lasagna.
It was incredible, and you'd go down these these dank,
dark steps to kind of get down to this basement restaurant.

Speaker 6 (02:01:30):
People will know, though I guess she had to be there.

Speaker 7 (02:01:32):
They'll let us know.

Speaker 6 (02:01:33):
I haven't heard about it in a long time. That's
why I think you're right. It must not be there.
But then again, I'm not a I'm a wolf backer
at heart.
