Here from this particular band that's exactly right, known as
Boy Crazy with a K.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
Now, this was a This was a I remember.

Speaker 10 (02:45):
Hearing this song for the first time and song, okay,
this is a hit. They toured with X those I
also thought when I heard this, this is a hit.
This might be their only hit, and I was all, right,
here we go. This song was in the top forty.
This made me it might hit number one.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
I didn't hit number one.

Speaker 8 (03:04):
Yeah, do you know what I always wait here it comes. Oh,

Speaker 7 (03:41):
Right here. Very futuristic.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
So what was this ninety two or ninety three? Yeah,
boy Crazy with a K. This burst onto the scene.
This this all girl group hit number one, and then
they were never heard from again until today.

Speaker 8 (04:05):
Until today when I came in apologizing that this song
was in my head. But I did blame one Bernie
Bowls for it.

Speaker 7 (04:13):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 8 (04:15):
Not because Bernie is a boy Crazy fan.

Speaker 7 (04:17):
I'm not.

Speaker 8 (04:17):
Yeah, I've never heard of four Crazy, but Bernie gave
me for Christmas like this old record player that also
has a CD player in it, which is that I
haven't had a CD player in a long time. And
the other day when I was cleaning, I dug out
my CD folder you know that used to keep in
your car that has the pages that you flip, and
I pulled out because we were talking about Boy Crazy.
I don't know if it was during the commercial break

(04:38):
or on the show. I pulled out the Boy Crazy
CD because yes, I owned it, and I listened.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
To it while I was cleaning and hang on hand, no,
I thought I was coming again, Sorry, And.

Speaker 8 (04:49):
I listened to the CD, and that song I think
just got somewhere in my subconscious and then populated today.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Would you guys like to learn more about Boy Crazy?

Speaker 5 (04:57):
Sure?

Speaker 4 (04:57):
Would you?

Speaker 7 (04:57):
Bernie?

Speaker 8 (04:57):
Would you like me to educate your right now?

Speaker 11 (04:59):
No?

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (04:59):
Did they have a hit.

Speaker 6 (05:00):
Now we're up to the recent number one hit by
Boy Crazy. Each Boy Crazy member still remembers her first
kiss from a game of Truth or Dare to a
pretend wedding and a playground. You know, there's an innocence
about the moment of a person's first kiss that can
last a lifetime. Group member Kimberly Blake had her first
kiss when she was twelve. She says that's when she

(05:22):
gave her first boyfriend a great, big, passionate kiss right
on the nose. Chocelyn Jones had hers at a much
earlier age, she was just five. She says it happened
when she was hiding at a closet with her five
year old boyfriend, quote, we were trying to see how
long we could kiss without taking a breath. Ruth Ann
Roberts her first kiss came in a childhood game of

(05:44):
Truth or Dare. A friend dared twelve year old Ruth
to climb into a cupboard and kiss a boy twelve times,
once for each year of her life. Ruth says her
real boyfriend back then is probably still mad at her.
And rounding out the quartet called Way Crazy is JOHNA.
Lee Cummings. She says her first kiss came at a
wedding her own. She was in grade school at the time,

(06:08):
and one day the kids staged a make believe wedding
in the playground. A child their scientist, and the girls
put on their prettiest dresses. John Lee was chosen to
be the bride, and she says after she and the
little groom said, I do how long is it's gonna.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Happen to kiss?

Speaker 8 (06:23):
Why does he do this?

Speaker 6 (06:24):
Kimberlee, Joslyn Ruthann, and John Lee are all in their
twenties and they're making different kinds of memories, the memories
that come from having big Top forty hits. This song,
their very first Top forty hit, went all the way
to number one. It's survey song number thirty seven this
week on Casey's Top forty. The group Boy Crazy and
That's what Love Could Do?

Speaker 8 (06:46):
How how do you have that?

Speaker 7 (06:49):
How many outtakes do you think you had for reading that?

Speaker 12 (06:51):
And here's more information than you ever want to know
about Bully Crazy?

Speaker 8 (06:56):
And why was that the information he had?

Speaker 4 (06:59):
I don't know, I don't know what's happening.

Speaker 9 (07:03):
All right, Well, all I know is it's a six thirteen,
and this may be the that's maybe it's the wildest
ride we've ever had for your your song of the day.

Speaker 8 (07:10):
You know what, I bet the boy Crazy people might
write us a letter and thank us because we just
up some royalties for them.

Speaker 9 (07:15):
Yes, there's a radio show on a talk station in
Charlotte that played a boy Crazy.

Speaker 8 (07:21):
Song to They're all gonna get a check for four dollars.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
Boomer wishes he had that might play back.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
In the days. Is that put crazy story there?

Speaker 9 (07:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (07:30):
Five year old five years old in a closet.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Well, you know what, Casey says, keep reaching for the stars.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
That's right.

Speaker 8 (07:37):
That just proves that gen xers, our parents were not around.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Well we think they were.

Speaker 9 (07:44):
Now there's a story today about gen Zers that we're
going to have to get to about parents as well.

Speaker 8 (07:48):
Yeah, their parents are everywhere apparently.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Really like watching us right now, like off the chart.

Speaker 8 (07:55):
Yeah, Bernie's dad's in the corner. You're not gen Z though,
are you? Bernie?

Speaker 13 (07:59):
No?

Speaker 4 (08:00):
You did you say off the chart?

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Off the chart?

Speaker 9 (08:03):
You mean like boy crazy? Now we've been off for
a while, Yeah, since nineteen ninety three.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
Just wanted to say hey and thoroughly enjoy the show.

Speaker 8 (08:12):
Thank you for taking the time to call in.

Speaker 11 (08:14):
Well, y'all keep done a great job.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Thank you man, keep phone keeping on.

Speaker 5 (08:19):
This is Good Morning Beauty with Boo and Pal.

Speaker 9 (08:26):
Friday morning in the Tyboid Studio. Bo and Beth glad
to have your board.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
It is August eight. We were talking about.

Speaker 9 (08:37):
How Gen X parents, well some of them, we're doing
other things when their kids were listening to things like
boy Crazy or they didn't.

Speaker 8 (08:49):
We didn't have cell phones or trackers or anything. We
just rode our bikes off into the Great Beyond, and
not the great beyond.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
But you know what I'm saying, just the upside down, just.

Speaker 8 (08:58):
Out into the world. And they didn't know where we
were no, and.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
They didn't worry.

Speaker 9 (09:02):
I mean they basically you leave in the morning, like
the summertime. You leave in the morning on your bike
and you come back at dusk, or you go to
somebody's house for dinner. And you know, I've always told
you we never had a Nintendo, we never had an Atari.
But I probably played more of those games than any
of my friends because I just played them at their houses.

Speaker 8 (09:19):
That their parents were like, oh, there's little bo Thompson
again coming to play video games and eat all our snacks.

Speaker 7 (09:25):
That's mister Bo Thompson, Beth, that was me.

Speaker 9 (09:27):
Now, so that's you know, gen X. We're gen xers
doing the show. If you guys have you guys know
that by now. But there's a story and a survey
as well from a resume templates Generation Z people born
between the years of nineteen ninety seven and twenty twelve.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
Gen Z not just.

Speaker 9 (09:46):
Relying on their parents to advocate on their behalf, but
they are having their parents complete their work tasks in
some cases. Now, we had a story a few months
ago and another survey that said a high percentage of
gen Z or actually have their parents come with them
to job interviews. Remember that story we did, Yes, So

(10:06):
now they're taking that a step further. And let's see
here seventy seven percent. Now, same survey says seventy seven
percent of survey respondent said they brought their parents to
a job interview. That's up from where it was last
time we talked about this. Seventy seven percent.

Speaker 8 (10:21):
No, seventy seven percent. I my stomach actually can't handle
that number. I I obviously we've all been on job interviews.
I can't. Can you imagine? Can you imagine? I'm just
gonna have you guys imagine. Can you imagine? I'm amazing
right now walking into You.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
Can see it in my head, Bernie, and it's breath
taking walking.

Speaker 8 (10:45):
Into a job interview with the Wayneac.

Speaker 7 (10:49):
Picture this Waeniac picture this.

Speaker 8 (10:52):
Can you imagine what that job interview would be like
if the if the Waaneiac you know, jumped on board,
and how that how that they'd hire the waiting act.

Speaker 7 (11:00):
I just actually believe that's true.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yes, we'd like your dad, you'd like to we'd like
to hire your dad, right.

Speaker 8 (11:06):
We don't want you, but your dad he's pretty cool.

Speaker 9 (11:08):
Half of Generation Z has relied on their parents to
speak with their manager about a workplace conflict.

Speaker 8 (11:15):
Get out of town.

Speaker 9 (11:16):
Thirty nine percent of Gen Z workers relied on their
parents to ask their boss to reduce their workload.

Speaker 8 (11:22):
Y'all, if you're the boss, what do you do? Dear
missus Thompson? I'm so sorry that Bo has to work
so much. I would like to hear from Bow himself
and not from you, missus Thompson. Goat does that even work?
Do they just give? Do they call mom? From my mom?
I have too many zoom calls. Here's my boss's email.

Speaker 14 (11:42):
I kind of feel like that's even overbearing from a
parent of a child in like grade school. Yes, Like
when they're like, hey, it's a little too much homework,
I feel like that's you know, let the kid address that.
I don't feel like it's necessarily the parent's place to
be like, all right, I just want to let you
know he's doing a bunch of homework. And we have
a bunch of family events and you can't get to them.

Speaker 8 (12:02):
Here's the thing, too, you can't just blame gen Z
because if the parents are going on the job interviews
and the parents are sending these emails about workloads and
the parents are helping their kids with their work tasks,
they're not helping the situation. They're just reinforcing the situation, right, enabling,
that's the word, right, And it's us, is it? Gen

(12:27):
X or the gen X are a lot of the
parents of the kids born between like twenty and twenty twelve.

Speaker 9 (12:31):
Probably, I can't imagine. I just can't imagine. I can't
imagine being a parent and thinking that's a good idea,
like I have been as my kids were growing up
there have been moments where they were having conflicts and
our response as parents was always you teach them how
to handle the conflict on their own. In other words,

(12:52):
you know, we'll talk about it at home and will
help you strategize how you get yourself out of this
or how you resolve this. But I'm not going to
go and hold your hand and do it with you.
That that's the worst thing I think you can do,
because like, like, if you're in a situation and there's
a bully. I'm just being hypothetical here, but the last
thing that you need is mom and dad come into
the rescue. You need to be able to handle. Now

(13:13):
it's I'm not talking about putting yourselves in harm's way,
but like you know what I mean there there's that
old adage that you got to you got to go
through the ups and downs of life to be able
to be able to act on act on your own.

Speaker 14 (13:25):
What happened to have a little pride? I mean, that's
embarrassing for the kid. If I'm the kid, I'm embarrassed
to bring my parent to a job interview.

Speaker 8 (13:32):
But you know, grow up kid, they must have asked
their parent, right because I don't think the parent was like, hey, yeah,
I'm just gonna go with you. I'm gonna go with
you and to see how it goes.

Speaker 9 (13:42):
And started crying in the middle of the night and
he said, you get over it, gets your own food,
go make yourself a sandwich.

Speaker 7 (13:47):
Bottles over there.

Speaker 9 (13:49):
But then, but then, as a as a parent here,
I have seen instances where there's been there has absolutely
been over correction by the parent. Like I've seen parents
that have going over the top in favor of their kids,
and I think to myself, well, you know, the kid
probably needs to learn how to do this him or herself.

Speaker 8 (14:07):
On their own. Well, here's my question. If it is
gen x who are the majority of the parents in
this situation, is it because we, as gen xers didn't
have a lot of It's almost like an overcorrection, right,
did we overcorrect? Or at least the ones who are
going on job interviews and trying to get kids out
of conflict or out of workplace drama, or out of

(14:32):
even work itself at work? Is it an overcorrection? Is
it the pendulum swinging the just really really far way
back in the other direction? What happened?

Speaker 12 (14:42):
I feel like that's what I think it's the epitome
of helicopter parenting. But why almost can't get out of
your own way? And look, I will admit, I mean
I'm in my forties and there are times where I
will still call my mother or my father and say, hey.

Speaker 4 (14:56):
I'm having X issue. What would you do in the situation?
Or have you ever run into this? What's your advice?
But you're not doing that in the job interview with
with that person sitting beside you.

Speaker 8 (15:07):
You don't bring your mom in here to say, bo Beth,
Steve needs less work.

Speaker 12 (15:12):
Was she's supposed to be here around nine thirty to
have a conversation with you guys? Should I cancel that?

Speaker 1 (15:16):
No?

Speaker 4 (15:16):
I think we should do it.

Speaker 7 (15:17):
On the air.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
We should.

Speaker 8 (15:18):
We should have Steve's mom on the air. But I'm
wondering if why, why the helicopter parenting started to begin with?
Kind of what what led to to that trend? And
I know that social media probably has played a factor,
and devices being present at all times, and kids being
able to access things that we just didn't have access to.

(15:41):
You know, if if if little tiny Bow wanted to see,
you know, naughty things, he couldn't it was only available
behind the behind the plastic partition at the gas station.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
You know, you or.

Speaker 4 (15:58):
Very different.

Speaker 8 (15:59):
I'm a big man, like you couldn't get it.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
You love it when hypothetical has become really really descriptive,
you know.

Speaker 8 (16:06):
But you couldn't get it.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
He was looking to get something behind the glass at
the gas station, little Bow.

Speaker 8 (16:13):
But but maybe that's why helicopter parenting has become a
thing that maybe because the access to things that are unsavory,
it's it's it's easier. Access is easier.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 12 (16:25):
I think there's a difference in trying to protect your
child from something and then doing everything for your child.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
Now here's another question. Here's another question.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Though.

Speaker 9 (16:33):
Along these lines, we talk all the time about how
we did so many things without parental supervision and our
parents were you know, they just basically turn us out
to pasture for the day and hope we'd come home
at nine.

Speaker 8 (16:44):
Yeah, if I came home with the head wound, my
mom would be like, here's some cure chrome.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
But yeah, mecure chrome chrome, betadine. Betadine.

Speaker 8 (16:54):
Shove that little plastic wand from the macure chrome into
the wound, swirl it around and send me back.

Speaker 9 (17:00):
That's exactly right. But what I was going to ask
is we talk about these instances when our parents weren't there.
You know, they'd let us be you find out on
your own, But can you think of things in your
life where you thought.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
My parents should have been there?

Speaker 9 (17:12):
In other words, like I can't believe they're not here,
And that may be where the where the overcorrection comes from.
You come to a point in your life, Well, they
actually shouldn't have let us do that. They should not
have let us have done that.

Speaker 8 (17:23):
Can I let you in on a little secret that
will not surprise you at all? All the times that
our parents.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
Shouldn't have let us.

Speaker 7 (17:29):
Wayne was probably there with you.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
Wanniac was there cheering you do it, not cheering you on.
He was doing it with you.

Speaker 7 (17:38):
Oh, I'm sure you how to do this.

Speaker 8 (17:39):
One time we did get in trouble for something at
a hotel as kids, and a guy came out of
his room to give us the stink eye and my dad.
My dad looked at him and said, hey, bro, what
it is like two o'clock in the morning.

Speaker 7 (17:55):
I hope he's listening. That's a legendary.

Speaker 4 (17:57):
It sounds about right Wayniac if you're listening, you know
the number.

Speaker 7 (18:21):
This is the remix.

Speaker 8 (18:23):
I was singing this during the commercial break and Bernie said,
what are you singing? It sounds like a cat commercial.

Speaker 7 (18:29):
Yeah, it sound like a mixed commercial.

Speaker 15 (18:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
So am I right about this? We talk We mentioned
a name and would you look at this?

Speaker 8 (18:42):
It's like needlejice.

Speaker 5 (18:48):
Four three.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
You know it's it's been a while.

Speaker 8 (18:51):
Yes, it's been since we were at the beach.

Speaker 7 (18:53):
Hang on, here comes.

Speaker 9 (18:56):
Yeah in the eight four three calling the seven O
four five, seven eleven ten on the hotline right now?

Speaker 4 (19:04):
Is this the Waaniac?

Speaker 3 (19:07):
Oh? Good morning. Yes it is auneiac. But I'm not
in the eight four three. I am in the lake
Lord Chimney Rock area this morning.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (19:15):
He actually he's on a little vaca, a little solo
vaca at Lake Loure. But he was sending me photos
yesterday from what you know what Chimney Rock presently looks like,
because we would go up there and and you know,
have a lovely family time in that area and now
it's completely different.

Speaker 9 (19:32):
Well, on a serious note, how are things up there?
I mean, I know people who've been there at various
times since last October. Well, what have your observations been
about that area post Helene.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
Well, actually it's coming along, but it is very slow.
The real sad part when I drove past the lake
Lord and saw the condition of where they're getting all
of this, the stuff that filled up the lake during
the hurricane. On the tall it is thirty foot high.
It's huge.

Speaker 11 (20:04):
I got big.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Trucks, heavy equipment cleaning it out. The beach that's always
so beautiful. There is a right now it's nothing, you know,
it's uh, I hate that, But I'm here for a
good event today at eleven o'clock. River Watch Cafe, my
favorite cafe in Chimney Rock, has a grand reopening today
and I wanted to be here for it.

Speaker 4 (20:26):
That's fantastic.

Speaker 8 (20:27):
I love river Watch and I'm so thrilled to hear
that they're opening back up.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
Yeah, that's gonna that's gonna be a great day. I'm
really looking forward to that. But uh, you got to
tell you this best growing up, though, it was a
little bit of a challenge.

Speaker 4 (20:45):
At a stranger right, Let's he made that segue. Well,
you know that's growing up was tough.

Speaker 9 (20:51):
Do you do you remember the story that she just
told and by the way, before you answered that, Beth,
real quick. For people who are just joining us, we're
talking about when you were a kid, where in many
cases for gen xers, their parents weren't there. You had
a moment where your dad absolutely was there.

Speaker 8 (21:08):
And he was part of the Shenanigans. We were at
a hotel and we were knocked terrible. We were knocking
on doors, you know, the wee hours of the morning,
and of course annoying the people who stay there. Is
kind of the knock and run kind of thing. And
a guy angrily came out of his room to give
us the stink guy, and my dad just looked at
him and said, Hebrew what it is.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yes, I'm afraid I do remember that come along with
a few other incidents. The young folks there tend to
be excited. They slidden down banisters, elevators, you'd name it.
They would learn to do it. In fact, I got
to tell you this after for seventeen years I was

(21:53):
a volunteer with the Miss Dorconne. I was a field
director and so every year would go to miss with
Caroline and we'd stay at a certain hotel right downtown
there in Raleigh, a nice place STIs. After about three
or four years of this, I found out the thing
to do was just go ahead and reserve the whole floor.

Speaker 7 (22:13):
Oh my gosh, this is Wayne, you know what I need.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
That's the most wueniac thing I've ever heard. We'll just
rent out the whole as usual. The whole floor.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
Well what we would do then we could control the
people in those rooms and people would find out we
had a floor, and just the ones who liked to party,
which would take part, and when you knocked on their
doors it was to be expected then not unexpected.

Speaker 9 (22:39):
Okay, So next year when we come down to do
the show at the condo, we need to go to
one of those beachfront motels. I don't mean hotels, I
mean motels where you you know, you enter from the
outside and and the WINIAC needs to rent the floor
out and we'll just have the town come and join us.

Speaker 4 (22:54):
How about that?

Speaker 3 (22:55):
See, well, you know we got one right next door
of those, A perfect place to start the trick.

Speaker 9 (23:02):
I also have to tell you I got a I
got a text. I haven't told Beth about this, but
I anybody really there's this picture here? See this picture, Beth.
I want you to see if you know who that is?

Speaker 1 (23:12):
You know that is?

Speaker 8 (23:13):
I just see he's sending me a picture.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
See that picture.

Speaker 8 (23:16):
Oh that's Aja. So it's h and he's it looks
like he's running a race. Did he run a race?

Speaker 7 (23:21):
We'll see.

Speaker 4 (23:21):
I got a text last night from my friend Jessica.
Jessica used to work here.

Speaker 9 (23:25):
She knows h A uh, but she she uh, you know,
Uh is down at the beach sometimes. She says, my
parents are hanging with this guy on Second Avenue for
the Thursday music on Main Street concert. Says rain doesn't
stop them or h A for any matter. Oh, but
Ah is out in the He's out in the parking
like kind of like when we went to the is
it called the Horseshoe and Beth that night a couple

(23:46):
of years ago. We went to listen to Thurston Holle
play and I'm looking for Beth and then of course
I found Beth because she was shagging with h a uh.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
And h is just out there, you know, the life
of the party.

Speaker 9 (23:56):
And this is another picture Wayne Yaka that Jessica sent
me of of bunch of people gathered out there watching
a concert and there's h A right in the middle.

Speaker 8 (24:03):
Well, you know, the Winiac would have probably been next
to him, but he was. He was in Pigeon Forge.

Speaker 9 (24:07):
Yeah, I was going to say I were. If all
things were equal, you'd be in the picture, right. But
so you're at Lake Loure though, and and real quick
before we let you go. When you're talking about Lake Loure,
I know, I've heard all these stories about how all
the debris has had to be cleared and they have
to put the debris somewhere before they can haul it away.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
But how much of the water can you see right now?

Speaker 3 (24:29):
Right now in the area where the beach is, there
is absolutely no water still no water, Yeah, some of
the fingers coming off of the lake. It's down probably
thirty feet the water level is. Yeah, I mean, how
is that our own stills you can see all the
way to the ground up. I'll send you a couple
of pictures that I sit in bath later today after
you get off the air. But it's it's very sad,

(24:52):
but I'm glad they're seeing they are getting it going forward. Now.

Speaker 11 (24:56):
I can say this.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
I heard yesterday the the producer for that ninety three
percent of the businesses were reopened, that doesn't apply to
Chimney Rock. I continue that probably thirty five to forty percent.
Where I'm going today, River Watts used to be a
paved parking area. Today they filled it in with gravel.

(25:19):
They're only like fourteen fifteen sixteen parking places, so I
planned to get there earlier. It's very limited. I would
say less than fifty percent of the business have reopened
there now. In Lakelare itself, it's probably more seventy five
to eighty percent, or maybe even ninety three. It's much
better shape in lake Lord than it is in Chimney Rock.

Speaker 9 (25:39):
Well, it's hard to believe for coming up on the
anniversary of Helene and just a month or so, but
thank you for the update.

Speaker 4 (25:47):
And again, here's the other thing I was thinking about
this yesterday.

Speaker 9 (25:51):
The weather this week in Charlotte feels like we're you know,
it should be Labor Day right around the corner, and
we still got about a month until that.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
What has the weather been this week? Have you been
down at the beach most of this past week?

Speaker 9 (26:03):
No?

Speaker 3 (26:04):
I left last Sunday, Okay, so moving forwards for four
days and Wednesday I've moved here to the lake clear
Chimney Rocky Lake lower area. And I haven't seen but
like thirty seconds of a shower on my drive. I mean,
it's unbelievable. I've avoided somehow all the rain and you
guys had nothing but rain. I've had nothing but sun.

(26:26):
Johne riding around with the top down.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
In the car.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
It's been beautiful.

Speaker 4 (26:29):
Well, the beach weather follows wennieac wherever he goes.

Speaker 8 (26:32):
We know, I'm just follow said.

Speaker 9 (26:33):
Well, look, it's been good to catch up with you,
and HOPEFU all things are well, and when you get
back to the beach, say hello to all our friends.

Speaker 8 (26:40):
Sorry, I was a challenge, dad, No, no, I actually
loved it though.

Speaker 9 (26:45):
Well no, see here's what happened. You raised her to
be the woman she is right now on this show
a challenge.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
Very good boy, brother, Thank you so much for reminding
me of that.

Speaker 9 (26:57):
Yes, yes, you raised her to be the challenge she
is on this show. All right, have a great weekend, Winniet.
Good to hear your voice.

Speaker 4 (27:04):
Man, Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
Have a great day.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
There he is taking the tour of the Chimney Rock
Lake Loure era the area.

Speaker 8 (27:11):
I love that he's up there for river Watch. That
has been one of our family's favorite places, and I
love that they're opening back up.

Speaker 9 (27:21):
Happy Friday morning, August eighth, bowhen Beth here in the
Tyboid studio. You know, we do our best to let
you know when there are new food items to try
out there. I am the king of the impulse buy
in the checkout line. I will try it. My wife
knows that I'll bring home anything from the grocery store.

(27:42):
And you know, the most recent thing I bought just
because the can looks different to the diet cherry coke.
I don't really like cherry coke all that much.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Not my jam.

Speaker 4 (27:50):
Vanilla is my jam.

Speaker 9 (27:52):
But I bought the diet cherry coke the other day
because the can looks like nineteen eighty five's can.

Speaker 4 (27:56):
I'm thinking, you know, it's just I gotta do it.

Speaker 8 (27:59):
That seems on brand. That doesn't seem too weird. Some
of this stuff that's available today that we are now
learning about this seems weird.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
How about a Heinz Ketchup smoothie shake.

Speaker 8 (28:13):
No, no, thank you.

Speaker 9 (28:15):
Heines and Smoothie King have launched the first ever Ketchup
smoothie at select locations nationwide. It's a new creation that
challenges both taste buds and definitions, a Ketchup based smoothie
launching during peak tomato harvest season. The smoothie is now
available for five dollars and seventy cents in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Miami.

Speaker 5 (28:36):
Here's the question.

Speaker 8 (28:36):
Do they serve it with French fries? Do you get
French fries? Because you know, the French fry frosty thing
is a thing, and it's yummy.

Speaker 7 (28:43):
It doesn't tastes like ketchup. That's the point, right, tastes
like a frost.

Speaker 8 (28:46):
Well, it's blood red this smoothie that Smoothie King is offering,
so it's the color of ketchup. So it's going to
fool your eye. I feel like they should serve it
in a squeeze bottle. But it is a blend of
a sie sorbet, strawberries, raspberries, apple juice, hinds ketchup, and

(29:07):
it creates a sweet tart taste.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
Doesn't ketchup have a lot of sugar in it? Anyway?

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (29:13):
Yeah, he had an ice cream apparently.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (29:16):
I mean, I mean, and aren't like what's in a
bloody marry tomah? Yeah, I mean people like those to drink.
I mean, I would never go anywhere near this. But
as popular as all things tomato based and all the
Italian things that you can eat at a restaurant, what
I can see a bunch of Italian people, but you

(29:36):
go to an Italian restaurant and it's like pasta, tomato everything.

Speaker 12 (29:40):
So we don't keep Italian. Italians don't keep ketchup in
their restaurants.

Speaker 9 (29:44):
But if you're Italian, wouldn't you think that maybe this
might be your jam as an Italian?

Speaker 3 (29:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (29:48):
Not even As a matter of fact, I wish you
would have worn me before you decided to do this story,
because I had just taken a bite of a breakfast bar.
As you were like, oh, blah blah blah ketchup SMOOTHI
I was like, it does it does kind of.

Speaker 8 (30:03):
Make you feel a little bit of that gag reflect.

Speaker 14 (30:05):
It's like, I can see Italian people like this, but
but not if you're Italian of these don't you.

Speaker 5 (30:14):
Whoa yes, yes, yes, new game plan the.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Bomb that Italian.

Speaker 4 (30:31):
Ketchup smoothies for everyone.

Speaker 7 (30:37):
Appearance there.

Speaker 8 (30:38):
You make an excellent point about tomato juice though, and
Bloody Mary's and V eight juice I love tomato juice.
When I'm on an airplane, I always get tomato juice.

Speaker 7 (30:48):
Dad loves tomato juice.

Speaker 8 (30:49):
I love it tomato juice and a lemon. But I
don't know that I want frozen tomato juice. And this
is a mixed with a whole bunch of sweet stuff,
So I don't want. I mean, I think I'd rather
have it be V the eighty eight n V A
t V eight s.

Speaker 4 (31:04):
But what you're saying, that's what That's my point.

Speaker 9 (31:07):
Bloody Mary's are popular, Tomato juice is popular, Tomato soup
is popular. A tomato smoothie is not that far away
from any of those things.

Speaker 8 (31:15):
I think it's the frozen aspect of it that feels weird.
Or maybe I don't drink ketchup.

Speaker 7 (31:21):
That's probably a good thing.

Speaker 9 (31:24):
You don't really thing you may not know about Beth Troutman.
She doesn't drink ketchup. Oh my goodness, it's Friday.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
Can you tell.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Levels of kandy? Dibi?

Speaker 11 (31:38):
Good morning? Son?

Speaker 7 (31:40):

Speaker 5 (31:43):
Turbine site man foom easy from News Talk eleven ten
and ninety nine three.

Speaker 4 (31:48):
W bet I know you could smoke on stage.

Speaker 8 (31:52):
You can't use the Moro cigarettes.

Speaker 5 (31:54):
This is good Morning Beatea with Bo Thompson and Beth
Troutman boy Man be Refrigeration.

Speaker 8 (32:01):
You a lot to learn about this town.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
Sweeten, meet you and it's on you want to nour
Italian Restat.

Speaker 9 (32:14):
From the WBT text line driven by libertybu At GMC says, hey, Bo,
as an Italian American, I just threw up in my
mouth hearing about this smoothie.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
It sounds about right.

Speaker 9 (32:28):
The smoothie is the Heines Ketchup Smoothie say concoction that
has been created by Hines and Smoothie King.

Speaker 8 (32:37):
And it is available at select smoothie kings across the country.
It is a tomato ketchup based smoothie, but it also
includes a SII sorbet, strawberries, raspberries, apple juice, and it
apparently has a sweet tart taste.

Speaker 4 (32:54):
Okay with me these days. Got a good job, I
got a good office, I got a.

Speaker 9 (32:58):
New wires life and the famies fun its smoothies.

Speaker 4 (33:05):
That's what they're giving me trouble here because right before
the top of the hour, I said Ketchup. I said,
don't Italians like ketchup, you know, tomatoes and.

Speaker 8 (33:15):
So, and that's how the text line, that's how we
ended up with that text from And oddly his name
is also Steve.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Steve.

Speaker 8 (33:24):
Steve says like Bo said, as an Italian American, I
just threw up in my mouth.

Speaker 12 (33:31):
Okay again, I will lean right into the Louis Prima. Bo,
give me Louis Prima. I'm fine with it.

Speaker 4 (33:36):
Do not hand me a ketchup smoothie. So you don't
like ketchup, I don't.

Speaker 12 (33:41):
Okay, So I don't have a problem with ketchup. But
if I'm like having I don't know, veal saltambuca, I'm not.
I'm not reaching for the ketchup.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
So you go to an.

Speaker 9 (33:50):
Italian restaurant and everything is I mean, so many things
are tomato based and pasta and all this stuff, and
so ketchup is not a member of that family.

Speaker 7 (33:59):
Well we'll not accept that.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
Yeah, seriously, away, I was Here's what I was going for.

Speaker 9 (34:07):
I'm thinking, Okay, if you like Bloody Mary's, if you
like tomato juice, if you like tomato soup.

Speaker 7 (34:13):
Not bad.

Speaker 8 (34:13):
See, I love all of those things.

Speaker 9 (34:15):
All of those things sort of feet into Italian dishes, Well,
I will.

Speaker 11 (34:19):
I will.

Speaker 8 (34:20):
To Steve's point, keep digging that whole, keep taking that hole.
So I don't know how it works when you make
spaghetti at home.

Speaker 9 (34:32):
You know, I don't know if you when you I'm
saying I use ketchup, I'm just saying ketchup is either way.
Ketchup is in the same family as pasta sauce, as
as tomato juice, tomato soup.

Speaker 4 (34:44):
No, am I wrong about that?

Speaker 9 (34:46):
Your most recent pizza, what were the top? Are they
not cousins, Steve? I'm not saying I put ketchup on Actually,
they do make cheeseburger burger pizzas, they don't put ketchup
on it. You don't think so, No, I disagree. I'm
not on any cheeseburger pizza I've ever had.

Speaker 8 (34:58):
I've had pickles of cheeseburgery.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
No, I'm just saying, like, it's not that far us.

Speaker 8 (35:05):
I will you know what here, I I will add
give you it is tomato based, just as tomato juices,
just as tomato sauce is. Ketchup has a sweeter something.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
Sugar and vinegar. I am the additional additives.

Speaker 9 (35:21):
I am the one who said that sugar. Has I
mean that Ketchup has a lot of sugar, does it?

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Does?

Speaker 3 (35:25):
I know this.

Speaker 4 (35:25):
I'm just saying I'm sugar free.

Speaker 9 (35:26):
If you took tomatoes out of Ketchup, that kind of
you don't have Ketchup anymore.

Speaker 8 (35:31):
It's true. It is a tomato based sauce condiment.

Speaker 9 (35:34):
If you take sugar out of Ketchup, you have zero
sugar Ketchup. I've seen it on the I wouldn't touch
it because I don't want the ketchup the way the
old fashion went with tomatoes.

Speaker 4 (35:46):
Yeah, and a smoothie. I'm just saying I.

Speaker 8 (35:51):
Do love though, I do. I understand that, yes, one,
tomatoes are an important ingredient in in in tomatato sauce
and Ketchup and tomato juice and V eight.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
Juice, tomato juice. Right, But when it's like, you know, hey, babe,
you want pasta for dinner tonight?

Speaker 11 (36:09):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (36:09):
Yeah, sure? Are you sure we have Ketchup in the
I know that's not a question that ever gets asked.

Speaker 9 (36:13):
I have obviously struck a nerve with you, the Italian
American in the group, and we just got a text
from Aaron it says this sounds disgusting. I'm not saying
that I want to ketchup smoothie. I wouldn't touch one
of those. I'm just we're just got talking because we
actually had two other food items to get to that
we never did. And how about this, We go from
ketchup smoothies to breast milk milkshakes.

Speaker 8 (36:34):
Oh no, no, okay, I got really freaked out. I
got really freaked out. Well, you said no, the story
is that? Oh it is that? Yes, I'm saying no not.
You said, how about it? And I said no, no,
I don't want. I don't want. But curiosity is what's
really driving this one. And I have to hand it
to the New York Post because here's their headline. New
Yorker's latching on to a new breast milk flavored ice cream.

(36:58):
This is in Brooklyn.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
Now it is?

Speaker 6 (37:02):
It is?

Speaker 8 (37:03):
It is not made from just to be very clear,
because I thought that it was made from human breast milk.

Speaker 11 (37:09):
It is not.

Speaker 8 (37:11):
It is just supposed to simulate the exact flavor.

Speaker 7 (37:15):
About to say, they have like a farm.

Speaker 12 (37:17):
So that makes it so much better. This morning, it's
a baby, It's a baby formula milkshake.

Speaker 8 (37:24):
It's so it's it says it is a limited It's
called Dumbo's Sweet Shop is the name of the ice
cream place, and it is a limited addition, special flavor
ice cream that tastes exactly and it says exactly in
the article like human breast milk it is.

Speaker 7 (37:43):
I'm kind of worried about who this is marketed towards.

Speaker 8 (37:45):
Yeah, I don't know who who asked for this. Yeah,
I don't know who who asked for it. But it
basically is made from from from cow's milk, but it
has it includes a I'm just gonna go with the
scientific how I think this might be pronounced.

Speaker 7 (38:04):
I'm believing you know who.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
Would love this?

Speaker 4 (38:06):
Italian I'm done with this show.

Speaker 8 (38:11):
It includes a leap probably LiPo liposalmal bovine colostrum. It's
a dietary supplement that is naturally found in breast milk.

Speaker 4 (38:22):
Sounds delicious, is it?

Speaker 8 (38:28):
Liposomal? Liposomal?

Speaker 4 (38:33):
I can't help you in any way.

Speaker 8 (38:34):
That sounds about right, but so it it has ingredients
that are good for your digestive system. The colostrum is
supposed to be great for your system.

Speaker 7 (38:43):
So I don't know.

Speaker 8 (38:44):
I'm trying to find a positive here. I'm trying to
I'm trying to find the silver lining. But why yeah,
who asked for it? Did somebody just say hmmm, I've
always wanted to know what this tastes like. But here's
the thing. If it if they if it tastes exactly
like it, who did the taste testing?

Speaker 4 (39:00):
How lots of questions we have here? I have a
lot of questions seven oh four five, No, no, actually
maybe I don't know.

Speaker 8 (39:07):
If I want you to call well, I will be
completely honest, because you know that's what'll do the.

Speaker 11 (39:15):
Well.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
I love the roper to our voices?

Speaker 4 (39:16):
Do you have for certain occasions? Cause backform? Every once
in a while, promo just builds itself. And there it was.
Let's go to Van Van. You're on news Talk eleven
ten do WDBT.

Speaker 7 (39:27):
How you doing?

Speaker 16 (39:27):
Man?

Speaker 2 (39:28):
Okay, okay, wait to.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Bring it honest, that's okay.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Knocking a lot.

Speaker 5 (39:36):
This is Good Morning BT.

Speaker 4 (39:41):
Seven one on WBT.

Speaker 9 (39:43):
From the text line driven by Liberty Buick, gmc bob says,
team the ketchup smoothie sounds gross. However, as kids, we
would have ketchup sandwiches and we didn't have the loney
to go with it.

Speaker 4 (39:58):
Then Beth tells me, oh, I had mu stared sandwiches.

Speaker 8 (40:00):
Oh, Bob, I am feeling you this morning, because we did.
We would come home, my little brother and I would
come home from school, get two slices of white bread,
spread some frenches yellow mustard on it. Sometimes, if we
were feeling really saucy, we would put mayonnaise too, saucy.

Speaker 7 (40:18):
Get it.

Speaker 8 (40:18):
So I had. We had mustard and mayonnaise sandwiches. And
if we really got if we if we were really
lucky and there was an onion somewhere in the house,
we would slice an onion and put it on the mustard,
mustard and mayonnaise sandwich.

Speaker 9 (40:33):
There's an onion in the house. It sounds like they
have found behind the door stuff today.

Speaker 7 (40:37):
Onions.

Speaker 4 (40:40):
Bernie just said, Bernie just said that you put ketchup
on eggs.

Speaker 7 (40:43):
I do not put ketchup on eggs. I do not,
I asked the room. Yeah, I don't either.

Speaker 12 (40:47):
I do when I was my brother did, Yeah, scrambled eggs, sure,
when you were when you were a kid.

Speaker 8 (40:54):
No, Still I will. I will score it a little
ketchup on the side of my plate. If I have
scrambled eggs are child, and I'll put hot sauce too,
like some hot sauce and ketchup and you have some
some hash brown ash brown.

Speaker 9 (41:05):
Sure, yes, if I'm in an Italian restaurant every day.
My brother when he was a kid, and maybe he
still does it now.

Speaker 16 (41:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (41:12):
He lives in Raleigh, so I don't never see him,
but not often. He used to put ketchup on his
eggs and we would all sit at the table. I
had two brothers, and the other brother and me would
be like, oh, I couldn't do that, and he just
loved it ketchup on the eggs.

Speaker 8 (41:24):
I think that there's something really yummy about ketchup on
the eggs. You know, it's kind of salty, so it
adds a little bit of a flavor to an egg.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
I love.

Speaker 8 (41:35):
Please tell me if you have an egg and cheese
sandwich or a bacon egg and cheese sandwich at a
restaurant where they put it on yummy buttered up sour
dough bread or some kind of like wheatbread, even rye bread,
please tell me that you dip that each bite of
that sandwich and ketchup.

Speaker 12 (41:49):
No, And the last time we went to snooze. I
had one of their breakfast sandwiches there breakfast. No, and
you also never critiqued my SANDWICHI style? Thank you, say, saying, wait, Steve,
you're going to have a breakfast sandwich. Where's your ketchup?
So you're Italian? Where's your ketchup?

Speaker 4 (42:07):
Kim says, hey, what's wrong with ketchup on cheeseburger pizza?

Speaker 8 (42:11):
Oh, you're vindicated.

Speaker 4 (42:12):
Also put mustard on it? Smoothie? No way, according to Kim.
But I wouldn't put a smoothie on pizza either.

Speaker 11 (42:18):
No.

Speaker 4 (42:19):
Dan is online one Dan, Welcome to Good Morning BT.

Speaker 11 (42:23):
Morning guys, d.

Speaker 17 (42:26):
I'm wondering how the procedure to get the ice cream
correct is there?

Speaker 8 (42:31):
You go my question too, Dan.

Speaker 17 (42:33):
That's great, it's crazy.

Speaker 4 (42:35):
If you're just joining us.

Speaker 9 (42:37):
We also talked about the fact that a Brooklyn restaurant
is selling a breast milk flavored milkshake.

Speaker 4 (42:45):
Oh why that's scared Dan away?

Speaker 8 (42:49):
Never mind, I'm out, but he's right.

Speaker 4 (42:51):
And we also we got this where Dan draws the line.

Speaker 8 (42:55):
We got a text message that reiterated what Dan was
trying to say before he got scared and hung up,
that who did the taste testing who did the flavor
formulation to know and understand and and figure out.

Speaker 4 (43:09):
It had to be an adult. You're going, oh, that's
not the right A little bit more, no, not quite.

Speaker 7 (43:14):
Another long day the taste, to be honest, That's what
I'm saying. The latest concoction today.

Speaker 9 (43:22):
That's what I'm saying is like, shouldn't I mean the
people who should be telling you if it tastes right
are all people who can't talk yet.

Speaker 8 (43:28):
Right, because yeah, you're not going to go to a
baby and say, hey, does this ice cream taste like
your lunch?

Speaker 4 (43:34):
Precisely right?

Speaker 3 (43:35):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (43:36):
So I think that was Dan's question too, and people
are raising that question on this on the text line
seven oh four, five, seven oh eleven ten, like who's
responsible for quality control?

Speaker 9 (43:45):
One of our texters said, three and a half years in,
and we still have days where I think I can't
believe we're talking about this.

Speaker 8 (43:52):
I know this is one of those things. It's a
news headline that you see that you think this can't
be real. This has to be an Onion headline. It
has to be like an April Fool's headline. John just
texted in too, like big question with the ice cream
why also, who tested it to say, yep, this tastes
just like breast milk. So everyone has the same question.

Speaker 4 (44:11):
Right because you said the article says exactly.

Speaker 8 (44:14):
It says exactly, and yeah, it says exactly.

Speaker 4 (44:16):
Yes, if you're under two, give us a call. Rob.
Rob is online one Rob. Welcome to Good morning Bet.

Speaker 11 (44:24):
Good morning.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
How you going?

Speaker 4 (44:25):
Hey Rob?

Speaker 8 (44:26):
Are you gonna tell us that you tried the ketchup smoothie?

Speaker 13 (44:29):
No?

Speaker 17 (44:30):
No, no, ketchup with Italians in ketchup? Okay. My uncle
was in the navy in the fifties and the Italian
navy came into port and they were giving him eggs,
you know, telling them to put ketchup on it because
they didn't know what ketchup was. Okay, and ketchup goes
on eggs, that's what I believe. But the Italians were
putting it on cereal. They didn't know what ketchup.

Speaker 18 (44:52):
What are you.

Speaker 17 (44:55):
Go ahead?

Speaker 8 (44:55):
Are you serious?

Speaker 19 (44:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (44:57):
Yeah, my uncle told me the story years ago. They
were laughter, they were trying to show him just put
it on the eggs, They'll put it on this sheeral.
They didn't know what ketchup was, and the Ketchup smoothie
I'm sorry. I like ketchup, but you know it's actually
an Irish dish, not an Italian dish. My father in
law used to say, kill it with ketchup. His wife couldn't.
My mother in law wasn't that good of a brook.

Speaker 11 (45:18):
So you kill.

Speaker 4 (45:22):
That's the line of the day.

Speaker 8 (45:23):
That is the line of the day. Rob, That's fantastic,
But we buried the lead. Rob legs ketchup on his eggs.

Speaker 17 (45:30):
Yes, yes, I do.

Speaker 5 (45:32):
Rob.

Speaker 4 (45:32):
Have you ever had breast milk milkships?

Speaker 7 (45:34):

Speaker 9 (45:36):
And that then?

Speaker 11 (45:37):
Whoever said that?

Speaker 17 (45:38):
Cigare course? Since Brooklyn I was a transit cop in
Brooklyn for twenty years. Brooklyn is not Brooklyn anymore.

Speaker 4 (45:45):
That's wait, wait, what's the name of the place.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
Do we have that?

Speaker 4 (45:49):
Like dumbos?

Speaker 8 (45:50):
Sweet treat?

Speaker 11 (45:51):
Right?

Speaker 4 (45:51):
Never heard bumbles?

Speaker 17 (45:52):
That's down that's down under the Manhattan Bridge overpass. That's
all yuppies and hipsters down there.

Speaker 4 (45:57):
Which is why? Which is why?

I thank you.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
Take care.

Speaker 4 (46:17):
I don't even know what's happening.

Speaker 8 (46:18):
Can I just I just want to I just want
to just jump through the microphone and hug Rob. His
voice was fantastic. Doesn't he just make you warm? Yes,
it's just happy and warm. It makes me want to
go just have a meal with.

Speaker 4 (46:30):
Him, or or ketchup and breast milks movie.

Speaker 8 (46:34):
I don't want either one of those.

Speaker 4 (46:35):
That's right to too great taste taste great together.

Speaker 5 (46:39):
Right, all right, good.

Speaker 8 (46:43):
Morning you bet boat away.

Speaker 4 (46:47):
I'm on my way to work.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
Been listening to the station for years.

Speaker 4 (46:50):
I went through the Murky in the morning.

Speaker 9 (46:51):
John Boy Billy settled on you guys about ten fifteen
years ago.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
Been listening to bout for a long time. Loved the
show with Beth and Boomer and all the guys.

Speaker 5 (47:00):
This is good morning, beauty.

Speaker 9 (47:04):
Boy, what a morning so far? Seven oh four five
seven oh eleven ten. I had all these things to
talk to you about, and I still do, and we
have a lot of show left to go. But when
the masses tell you they want to talk about something,
seven oh four, five seven oh eleven ten is the
text line and the call in line. This guy, says
Beth ketchup and hot sauce when I was in the Navy.

(47:26):
And by the way, this is this is Mike Knger,
isn't it. Yeah, this is our buddy Mike and Lisa.
He's Mike says. When I was in the Navy, we
used to have curdle challenges, adding milk to juice until
it curdled, and then drinking it. I was the only
one who dared to drink the ketchup milk curdle concoction.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (47:44):
So he is the original inventor of the ketchup smoothie.

Speaker 4 (47:47):
Well, I've met Mike, and it makes sense.

Speaker 8 (47:49):
Here's one of my favorite texts from Bob. People are
talking now about the strange things, the string concoctions they've
made in their households. Bob said, my mother and I
peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches. And I wrote Bob back,
and I said, yes, my mom did that too, and
then sometimes for an extra treat, she would add a

(48:11):
slice of tomato. Tomato peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches. I've
had them, and it sounds like that wouldn't work. I'm
here to tell you it works.

Speaker 9 (48:20):
Robert Boyd, son of Tyboid WBT Royalty. Here all the Boyds,
We love the Boyds. And Robert says he's in Louisville,
he says, or Louisville. He says, breast milk ice cream
is being sold here in Kentucky.

Speaker 8 (48:33):
No thanks, So New York's not the only place doing it.

Speaker 17 (48:37):
No.

Speaker 8 (48:38):
Alan wanted to tell us that he loves not ketchup
on his scrambled eggs, but salsa on his scrambled eggs. Yes,
one hundred percent. And do you know what my favorite
is paste Pecanti their chunky or their chunky salsa. They
have Peccani sauce. I like that on Dorito's, but they're
paste chunky salsa.

Speaker 7 (48:55):
In the hot you get the Western omelet.

Speaker 14 (48:58):
Over at ihop they got a salsa you put on
that's actually that's the first time I've ever had that
on an omelet.

Speaker 7 (49:03):
It was really good and steak omeleond.

Speaker 4 (49:05):
Just so you know, bo salsa is also tomato based,
not Italian. You're still you're still upset by this, Steve.

Speaker 9 (49:12):
I'm just just wanted to make sure that you were aware.
This person doesn't have a name that they put here.
But says, I also ate mustard, spread onto slices of bread.
Other days I ate mayonnaise and jelly sandwiches.

Speaker 8 (49:27):
I could see that work, because you know, I did
the mustard on bread, I did the mustard mayonnaise sandwich.
I could see the mayonnaise and jelly being a thing.
I could see it.

Speaker 14 (49:35):
I got a sandwich the other day and asked for
no mao on it and took a big old bite
and I trusted them, and I should not have trusted them,
and I almost threw up.

Speaker 4 (49:44):
Oh is so disgusting. I am also a verse to mayo.
The texture that take.

Speaker 7 (49:50):
I just don't like it.

Speaker 14 (49:51):
It's sour cream. I'm the same way. I'm very I'm
like a two year old with my palate. I mean,
let's just be honest.

Speaker 4 (49:56):
Did you read the one here from Craig from Belmont.
I've lost. I'm lost. We've had so many texts now this.

Speaker 8 (50:01):
Maybe I haven't read it out loud. No, I read
it to you in the commercial break yet.

Speaker 9 (50:04):
Says hey, guys, just so you know, ketchup is not
an Italian dish. Just so you know, it has its
origins in the Far East. This is Craig from Belmont
out Steve's burner phone.

Speaker 4 (50:16):
That's right, we've got a burner account.

Speaker 8 (50:19):
I love this particular snack. This person didn't leave me
their name, but loves to eat peanut butter on pancakes
with syrup. I think that sounds delightful. Put spread some
peanut butter on my pancake and then pour some syrup
on it.

Speaker 4 (50:31):
Peanut butter waffles, I'm all for it.

Speaker 8 (50:33):
And then have some syrup.

Speaker 4 (50:34):
I think it's Buddy the elf or something over here.
That's what I think of it. I think of porn
syrup on odd things.

Speaker 8 (50:42):
Brandy says that she loves to eat mustard, not ketchup
on her eggs, but mustard on her eggs and mustard
on her egg and cheese sandwiches. I think it sounds
delicious if you if you give me a give me
a squirt of mustard on my plate and a ketchup
on my plate, I could probably mix that around and
have that with a delightful egg and cheese sandwich.

Speaker 9 (51:01):
Kim says, my dad made peanut butter, mayo, lettuce and
pickle sandwiches.

Speaker 4 (51:06):
My nieces and nephews love it.

Speaker 8 (51:08):
I think that sounds amazing.

Speaker 4 (51:10):
I love amazing.

Speaker 8 (51:12):
I love peanut butter on pickles. I love it. If
you get so, you know how you love ritz crackers.
Bow Ritz crackers are delightful spread just a little shmoshmoshhmushing neededh.

Speaker 4 (51:24):
Fritz crackers by themselves are very good.

Speaker 8 (51:27):
But if you put a little peanu, a little bit
of peanut butter, and then put a pickle on top
of that cracker and make yourself a peanut butter pickle
cracker sandwich, Oh y'all, it's amazing.

Speaker 4 (51:37):
Let me tell you this in your lane.

Speaker 7 (51:39):
I like pickles and peanut butter, but I just I'd
never want to You're.

Speaker 8 (51:42):
Gonna hate this snack. Bow Well, you are too bo
but Bernie especially Still I still do this, and my
husband thinks I'm crazy. But when I was a kid,
my mom would put this snack together and I still
love it. Canned asparagus, you know how it's kind of smoshy.
Canned asparagus with a little a salting cracker with a
little mayonnaise, salt and pepper. The cracker with candasparagus, mayonnaise,

(52:06):
salt and pepper, I still eat it. I will just
get a fork with candasparagus and I smosh it. Down
on a salting cracker. My mom used to put that
in my lunchbox.

Speaker 7 (52:13):
Just put some spam on a cracker, call it a dish.

Speaker 8 (52:15):
I would put spam on a cracker. I bet it's great.

Speaker 9 (52:17):
Yeah, Joe is online one Joe wants to weigh in
on the WBT hotline.

Speaker 20 (52:22):
Hi Joe, Hey, guys, I had a coworker named Andrew.
This guy was like six foot seven and about one
and twenty pounds.

Speaker 11 (52:31):
Very odd dude.

Speaker 4 (52:34):
Yeah he was.

Speaker 20 (52:35):
He was one of the native Martha Vineyards who grew
up there. He was born there.

Speaker 11 (52:39):
Oh okay, and uh.

Speaker 20 (52:43):
He would order a Denver omelet with peanut butter inside it.

Speaker 8 (52:48):
Oh whoa, So wait, what is what's on a Denver omelet?

Speaker 3 (52:51):
Is that ham?

Speaker 20 (52:52):
And that's ham and cheese and peppers?

Speaker 11 (52:55):
You know the look. But just for look, because we
would do.

Speaker 20 (52:59):
Sam we go around and do direct sales, and to
look at the waitresses when he ordered that, their mouth
hit the ground. That was the fun of it was
to watch their reaction and he's like, you want it
on the side, No, No, I want it inside it.

Speaker 8 (53:14):
Oh I have never that's the first time, Joe, that
I have ever heard that.

Speaker 20 (53:20):
Yeah, that's the only time I ever seen it.

Speaker 8 (53:22):
So did you taste it? Joe? Did you ever take
a bite of it?

Speaker 20 (53:26):
Are you nuts?

Speaker 3 (53:28):
No?

Speaker 4 (53:30):
Good man, Joe, good man, Joe. You are who we
thought you were, all right, exactly? Be good, have a
good day.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
Man.

Speaker 9 (53:37):
This may be the text of the day right here,
tying it all together. He did not leave or she
did not leave a name, so I cannot attribute it
to the texture of the day, but says the breast
milk milkshake is for the kids taking their.

Speaker 4 (53:49):
Parents to job interviews. Yes, it's in before eight o'clock
on WBT. Why. I love the text line, but we
just got one that I'm not going to read on
the ear.

Speaker 8 (54:10):
I want to go home now, but I literally want
to like crawl into a fetal position.

Speaker 4 (54:15):
And why, don't get me wrong, it's not about me.
It's not like a shot at me or something.

Speaker 9 (54:20):
It's just a description of something that someone had based
on the conversation we've been having, and it's just like, really,
what what is happening? Seven four, five, seven eleven ten.
The text line is going nuts today, and we love
you all so much for it.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
We do we do.

Speaker 9 (54:39):
This is where it's too bad that people can't everybody
can't see what everybody else is not a message board.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
Right right right?

Speaker 9 (54:45):
It is for us here at the station. But anyway, kay,
we have some other things to get to today. And
today is or was supposed to be a big day,
a deadline day for President Trump as it relates to Russia.
You know, he shortened the deadline for an agreement a
ceasefire to come latest. This morning Fox's Madeline Rivera.

Speaker 21 (55:06):
White House officials are optimistic that a meeting between President
Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will happen, and that
it could happen as soon as next week. We are
learning new details this morning. Sources familiar with the negotiations
tell Fox that a Trump Putin's summit was in the
works as early as this coming Monday. Rome was considered
as a destination. Other countries are in the mix as well,

(55:27):
including Europe. Putin floated the idea of meeting of the
United Arab Emirates. The summit, though, fall apart because Ukrainian
President Vladimir Zelenski tells the US he won't be able
to conceive editor territory in a peace deal with Russia.
Only the Ukrainian Parliament can do that. This is one
of those issues that needs to be ironed out. The
plan was initially told a bilateral meeting with Trump and

(55:48):
Putin followed by a trilateral meeting with the Trump, Putin
and Zelensky, but the President suggested on Thursday a meeting
with Zelensky isn't a prerequisite for him. There's a crucial
deadline today. The President has threatened to slap more sanctions
on Russia if it did not agree to a cease
fire with Ukraine. The President, though, appears to leave the
ball input in court. The President is said to sign

(56:10):
a pack for peace between Armenia and ozer Bejean today.
We'll see if he'll have more details about a potential
meeting with Putin.

Speaker 9 (56:16):
So yesterday in the in the Oval Office, President Trump
was signing some executive orders and he took questions after
that was over, and this is where you get into
the Okay, who is allowed to be at the meeting?
Will the meeting happen if Zelensky's not there? And then,
of course President Trump had already adjusted the deadline to
start with. But the idea that maybe this is fluid,

(56:38):
or maybe he's willing to hedge a bit. This is
the conversation where all that stems from.

Speaker 17 (56:44):
Is your deadline still standing for Vladimir Putin to agree
to a ceasefire tomorrow or is that fluid?

Speaker 13 (56:48):
Now?

Speaker 4 (56:49):
It's going to be up to him.

Speaker 16 (56:50):
Indeed, we're gonna we're gonna see what he has to say.
It's going to be up to him. Very disappointed, young.

Speaker 21 (56:54):
Well, do you have to meet with does Putin have
to meet with Zelenski in order and before.

Speaker 8 (56:59):
You and point have to meet?

Speaker 5 (57:01):
Or you hope are you hopefully you're all?

Speaker 12 (57:04):
That's actually important because the President Putin said this morning
he was pretty dismissive of this idea of meeting with President.

Speaker 16 (57:10):
President Photon was, I don't know.

Speaker 13 (57:11):
I didn't ue you to meet with him.

Speaker 5 (57:13):
He doesn't have to agree to meet with Silinski.

Speaker 13 (57:15):
Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 2 (57:16):
No, he doesn't, No, So what do you think that means?

Speaker 16 (57:18):
They would like to meet with me and I'll do
whatever I can to stop the killing. So last month
they lost fourteen thousand people killed last month. Every week
is four or five thousand people. So I don't like
long waits. I think it's a shame and they're mostly soldiers.

(57:38):
They're Ukrainian and Russian soldiers and some people from the
cities where you know, missiles are lobbed in and you'll
lose thirty five forty people a night, which is terrible.
But no, mostly it's the soldiers. And you're talking about
on average twenty thousand a month. Twenty thousand people are
dying a month, young generally young people, soldiers.

Speaker 2 (58:01):
What is thinking about soldiers will see you over.

Speaker 9 (58:04):
So that was a bit of the end of the
news conference yesterday before he had to move on. And
the question remains, is a meeting going to happen now?
Now they're saying next week, So today could end up
being a pivotal day. Once it's all over, we'll see.

Speaker 8 (58:19):
Well, you have to you have to imagine that that
President Trump is incredibly frustrated and angered and even surprised, because,
as we all remember, you know, this time last year
during the campaign, because of what was going on between
Ukraine and Russia, he consistently said that he would he
could stop this war with one phone call. And I

(58:40):
do think that he at the time maybe thought that,
and it has been I mean, he's been in office
for two hundred and some I guess it's just a
little over two hundred days and it hasn't been able
to get this negotiated, to get this top I think
I think there's something about this scenario that is surprising him.

(59:01):
I think maybe he's seeing the version of Putin that
so many people warned him against.

Speaker 9 (59:08):
Another sort of rumor that's been making the rounds over
the last twenty four hours or so, the idea that
Steve Bannon would run for president in twenty twenty eight,
and the story went yesterday that apparently Steve Bannon is
maneuvering to possibly do this and at the expense of JD.

Speaker 4 (59:26):
Vance.

Speaker 9 (59:26):
And now Steve Bannon today is saying that he's dismissing
that rumor. Now, look, this stuff can start and restart
at any time. But that's an interesting notion. His name
in the presidential mix is not one I had heard
for a while until yesterday.

Speaker 8 (59:43):
Do you remember back in twenty fifteen when Donald Trump
first came down that gold escalator and we started seeing
him appearing on these stages of a tremendous number of
candidates who were running for president, on the running in
the Republican primary, And do you remember how the debates
changed once Donald Trump was on that stage. How nobody

(01:00:04):
could figure out how to debate him, and people who
had not been involved in politics, probably ever, maybe had
never really watched a debate all the way through, watched
these debates and people did find his debate style entertaining.
I feel like Steve Bannon would be another version, not
that he could ever be Donald Trump. I'm kind of like,

(01:00:24):
never would I ever say, did I ever think I
would say this out loud? But like Charlemagne the God,
like he said that Donald Trump, I agree with Charlemagne
the God that Donald Trump is a one of one
kind of candidate, a one of just the way that
Barack Obama was a one of one kind of candidate.
Steve Bannon is different, and I think he would be
a tough person to debate if you are a traditional

(01:00:49):
politician or someone who has been a politician your entire life.

Speaker 9 (01:00:52):
So the Daily Mail cited well placed sources close to
Steve Bannon who claim he's gearing up for a twenty
twenty eight residential run. Now, the response from Steve Bannon
to this two words Trump, twenty twenty eight.

Speaker 2 (01:01:09):
That's what he said.

Speaker 8 (01:01:09):
Well, maybe his whole idea is that he runs for
president in twenty twenty eight with Donald Trump as his VP,
and then gets elected and resigns. Maybe that's his plan.
Maybe that's what he's thinking in his mind. What is
it that Brett Winterble calls him five collars.

Speaker 14 (01:01:23):
Yes, five shirts, five shirts, five man of mini shirts,
of mani shirt.

Speaker 7 (01:01:27):
That's it.

Speaker 9 (01:01:27):
And there are a lot of people out there that
would say, if there is one person. Now you had
just said the one of one thing about Trump that
Charlemagne the God saying, But there are people who have
said that if there's one person that is the most
instrumental in making Trump into what he is today, Steve
Bannon has been the driving force behind a lot of that.

Speaker 8 (01:01:47):
Steve Bannon definitely opened people's minds and ideas to Trump's ideas.
He certainly has been incredibly vocal in his way and
on his platforms about Donald Trump, for sure.

Speaker 9 (01:02:02):
And I mentioned the Daily Mail in those sources. One
of the other things they've said is that apparently Bannon
thinks that Vance is not tough enough to take the
mantle from Trump in twenty twenty eight.

Speaker 8 (01:02:12):
You have to wonder, I'm sure all of you have
seen the memes that have been created out there with
JD Vance where they've just made his hair longer in
his face, you know, rounder and just rounder and round her,
and it has just been shared over and over and
over again. And you have to wonder if if just
the fact that that exists out there influences someone like
Steve Bannon to say that Jade Vance isn't tough, that

(01:02:34):
that has any kind of impact.

Speaker 9 (01:02:36):
More to come seven fifty eight moments away from eight
o'clock on your Friday morning.

Speaker 10 (01:02:40):
It's like told you it would be absolutely totally and
in all other ways, incompletely little.

because Bernie the Naked Gun.

Speaker 4 (01:03:35):
There you go, ned Sorry, Dath, We'll see if you've

watching the Colts and the Ravens before I went to bed,
and NFL is back.

Speaker 8 (01:04:19):
I was really proud of the Eagles. They did the
tush bush like first out. They just went on in
with the tush push because that's on brand, I mean,
well exactly, because they voted that. Hey it's legal. It's
totally fine. So they pushed that tush right in.

Speaker 4 (01:04:32):
Push that tush.

Speaker 9 (01:04:34):
So I don't even think it's an argument to say
that the most watched game around the league is tonight.
It's in Carolina for a variety of reasons. First of all,
you have Shador Sanders, who's gonna make a start tonight,
make his first start as a professional player. It's a
preseason game, and they're trying to see what they have
in that quarterback room, and they have a number of quarterbacks,
but Shador Sanders has been pushed to the top of

(01:04:55):
the depth chart for tonight. So Dion's son, Shador at
a Colorado, will get his start tonight. So Zochie was
saying that there are already a lot more national press
members at practice this week and behind, you know, in
the media sessions to see what goes on. And then
you have the Carolina Panthers with Bryce Young and the
first team is going to come out and play tonight

(01:05:16):
for a good bit. That's different than the last season
because last season they held Bryce out for most of it,
and this year we're going to see what we what
we have tonight.

Speaker 8 (01:05:24):
Pretty quickly, I think I kind of feel like this
is intentional to get Panthers fans pumped. I feel like
Dave Canalis knows, he knows that it's that they're going
to come out tonight and surprise people. And I think
he's wanting to do that to just start off the
season with a bang, because we kind of ended the
season last year with a with a.

Speaker 4 (01:05:43):
Momentum momentum.

Speaker 8 (01:05:45):
I can't say a bang. I was going to say,
like a whistle with a with a slight sneer.

Speaker 4 (01:05:51):
Well, when you don't make the playoffs, it's hard to
be a bang, but it was. It was the on
the upswing.

Speaker 3 (01:05:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:05:57):
Yeah, So tonight Bryce Young needs to come out of
the gate. We need to see some good stuff from Bryce.
And you've got tedor rohemc Millan making his debut tonight.
And there's been all this talk about Bryce and how
uh t mac have been on the same page in
practice so far in training camp. Uh A reporter asked
Bryce in the media session a couple of days ago, uh,
did you give any advice to Shador Sanders? You know,

(01:06:19):
you guys are they're actually the same age, But did
did he talk to Shador Sanders? The two quarterbacks have
they sort of you know, traded notes here.

Speaker 4 (01:06:28):
Any advice you gave the chador.

Speaker 22 (01:06:29):
Out there tonight, I don't. I don't have any advice.
He's had a ton of success his his entire life.
You know, he's you know, he's he's he's the reason,
the reason he's here is he knows how to how
to get here. So you know, I'm I'm trying to
find my way be the best I can, and the
same with all those guys over there on that side.
They've all been great players, are the reason they're all

(01:06:50):
playing NFL football. So I believe everyone has their their
own path, everyone has their you know, their their journey.
So I'm rooting for for all those guys.

Speaker 7 (01:07:00):
That you're now being asked as the grizzled bet.

Speaker 3 (01:07:02):
I know, I know.

Speaker 22 (01:07:03):
Yeah, we're the same age, which is another thing too.

Speaker 7 (01:07:06):
Yeah we're the.

Speaker 22 (01:07:07):
Same age, so we might be the same class or something.
So yeah, it's it's always funny sometimes like year three,
it doesn't doesn't always feel like that, but yeah, I've
been been here for a little bit longer. But you know,
we're all going all learning from experience, and I'm excited
for all the guys.

Speaker 9 (01:07:23):
Of it so you know, it's interesting you have Bryce
Tonight making his season debut, and we talked about Shadoor
Sanders and Travis Hunter who played for Colorado with Shadoor Sanders.
He makes his season debut tomorrow as the Jaguars are
playing the Steelers tomorrow night, seven o'clock, and they say
that he's gonna play on both sides of the ball.
He's gonna play offense and defense, and a lot of

(01:07:44):
people wondered would he be able to do that in
the pro game the way he did in college, because
that's you don't see many two way players in professional sports.
And so they're gonna give it a go in the preseason,
and of course the Panthers open up the regular season
against the Jaguars. So these two guys from Colorado who
have been so much talked about and everybody's watching, you know,

(01:08:05):
the Panthers sea Shador first game of the preseason, and
then the Panthers will see his teammate, his former teammate,
Travis Travis Hunter on the first first week of the
regular season. So the Panthers, you know, forget about their
own questions about how they're going to be they figure
into the national conversation in both instances.

Speaker 8 (01:08:24):
I'm gonna put this. I'm going to put this on
the positive side of things and the silver lining of things,
because these games are going to get so much of
attention because of those guys. We're thrust onto the national stage,
and I kind of feel like we're going to have
that season, so we're gonna shock everybody. And then suddenly
instead of the conversation being about these little gahoos from Colorado,
it's going to be about the Carolina Bean.

Speaker 5 (01:08:45):
Yes, she says that.

Speaker 4 (01:08:46):
On the day Hancocks not.

Speaker 8 (01:08:47):
Here exactly, I'm too scared to say it. When he
is here, I.

Speaker 7 (01:08:51):
Will say this.

Speaker 4 (01:08:52):
And I've come out of the gate the last couple
of years. Not that it means anything.

Speaker 8 (01:08:55):
I'm always too optimistic, I know, well, the.

Speaker 9 (01:08:57):
Last couple of years, I've been feeling kind of like, Okay,
let's let's they got to show us who they are.
I'm kinda let's not get too ahead of ourselves. I
feel like the Panthers and the Hornets, Bernie Bulls are
going to be back in the conversation this year.

Speaker 4 (01:09:11):
I think it's all moving in the right directly.

Speaker 3 (01:09:13):
There.

Speaker 8 (01:09:14):
You're wearing your new Panthers hat today A sure.

Speaker 7 (01:09:16):
Man, Beth, I was waiting for you to say something.

Speaker 4 (01:09:18):
Where'd you get that hat?

Speaker 2 (01:09:19):
You get that?

Speaker 4 (01:09:20):
I stole it? Where did you get that hat?

Speaker 9 (01:09:24):
Eight fourteen on WBT Traffic Check? Now are you feeling
Are you feeling optimistic?

Speaker 4 (01:09:28):
Boomer?

Speaker 2 (01:09:29):
I really am? Yeahk you I really am. I think
they're going to surprise with a lot of people. I
do too.

Speaker 4 (01:09:33):
So let's let's start it tonight. Yeah, let's get it going.

Speaker 2 (01:09:35):
Nothing like a great start, man. Here we go. We're
right down to the real thing here before long, you know,
the real thing. Thirty days, five Sundays, and that's right.

Speaker 4 (01:09:43):
Who's counting though?

Speaker 3 (01:09:44):
Ye oh?

Speaker 2 (01:09:44):
Who's counting?

Speaker 5 (01:09:48):
This is Good Morning BET.

Speaker 9 (01:09:52):
News Talk eleven ten, nine to nine three WBT seven
oh four five seven oh eleven ten is the hot line.
It's also the text line driven by Libertyview ack GMC,
but another record breaking morning for texts on the line.
And really we got into it because there's a new
ketchup Smoothie that is being offered by Smoothie King, and

(01:10:15):
we started talking about strange food concoctions and people just
went nuts with these, and you know, half of them
were one's Beth actually had as a kid. But I
actually want to bring it back around to strange concoctions
and things that you may not know about, because this
story actually is a very very serious one that a
lot of your parents out there may need to know,

(01:10:36):
if you don't already.

Speaker 8 (01:10:37):
This was brand new information for me, and it surrounds
a small beverage that is sold primarily at gas stations.
It's one of the small bottles that looks kind of
like those five hour energy bottles, except it's blue, and
it's called feel Free, and it's getting national attention right
now thanks to a viral TikTok video from a guy
who normally shares like viral food trends.

Speaker 4 (01:11:00):
Let me pick up some of it real quick. Here,
well I tried to, actually, now it's gone away.

Speaker 8 (01:11:03):
Well there it is.

Speaker 4 (01:11:04):
Let's see if we can hear him full screen and
turn volume on.

Speaker 23 (01:11:09):
Though, goddess of a woman who got cheated on by
her fiance.

Speaker 7 (01:11:12):
That's not it.

Speaker 4 (01:11:14):
Oh that's the right guy, not the right one.

Speaker 8 (01:11:16):
What are you watching?

Speaker 3 (01:11:17):
Bo?

Speaker 8 (01:11:19):
What you doing on TikTok?

Speaker 1 (01:11:20):
Over there?

Speaker 4 (01:11:20):
But guy, hold on, it is the guy there?

Speaker 13 (01:11:23):
He is?

Speaker 8 (01:11:23):
Okay, hang on, Sorry you clicked into his You clicked
into his TikTok feed and it just came up.

Speaker 23 (01:11:27):
Buddy, something truly disturbing just happened to me. I just
upped for gas on my way home, and while I
was there, I wanted a beverage, so I went to
go inside. So as I'm walking in, I am approached
by a child. I mean this kid, he was maybe
fourteen years old, and he comes up to me and
he says, hey, can you buy me some feel Free?

(01:11:50):
I didn't understand what he was talking about, but I said,
do you need food or something? And he said, no,
I need feel Free and I was like, I'm sorry, no,
And this young kid lunge at me and tried to
take my wallet out of my hand. I grabbed it
really fast and I just went inside. So I go inside.
I grabbed my drink. I go up to the cashier
and I was like, hey, just so you know, there's
like some kid out there. He was asking me to

(01:12:12):
buy something for him, and he like try to grab
my wallet. And she was just like, oh my gosh,
it's this and she pointed to this little blue bottle
on the counter that I've never seen before, looks like that,
and I was like, Oh, what's that, like a five
hour energy? And she was like, no, this stuff is
so sad. I have people coming in here five six
times a day to get this. It's so addictive, and

(01:12:35):
people lose their minds, people like like like actual crackheads
or like they have heroin addictions over this little drink.
So I get home and I look into this. People
are literally going to rehab over this drink. That is
legal in most states.

Speaker 2 (01:12:53):
So there you go.

Speaker 9 (01:12:54):
That's what he's talking about. And it looks it does
look like a little Is it the size of a
like a five hour energy?

Speaker 8 (01:12:59):
Yeah, it looks about the size of a five hour energy.
And let me tell you, especially parents out there, about this.
A bottle contains two servings. Now, the website does tell
buyers to consume responsibly and not take more than one
bottle every twenty four hours, but you heard in that
video that people are getting them five six times a day.
Now here's what the ingredients say. Their label lists kava

(01:13:22):
root extract, which is a depressant, and ground leaf kratum,
a drug that can provide both stimulant and sedative effects
depending on the quantity and the FAQ section of The
site tells consumers that most commonly, you'll feel more social
and calm with a focused boost of energy. Now this

(01:13:43):
is all from the website itself, but if you look
at the front of the bottle, you'll notice the words
consume responsibly near the bottom. According to the company, and
the advisory was actually added to the packaging last year
with a warning that reads, this product contains leaf kreatom, which,
like caffeine and alcohol, can become habit forming and harmful

(01:14:07):
to your health if consumed irresponsibly. And apparently, and this
was the first time I have heard of kreatom at all,
but apparently this is something that is in especially conversations.
Young people seem to know more about kreatom than I do,
or than I did. This was my introduction to it.

(01:14:28):
But it apparently it can be incredibly addictive in the
way that it gives you that, as the website said,
like the calm, social feeling, or the feeling of boost
in energy or clarity.

Speaker 4 (01:14:40):
I'm looking at the bottle right now, and it's tiny.

Speaker 9 (01:14:42):
It does look sort of like a five hour energy deal,
except it's dark blue and says feel Free Classic plant
based herbal supplement.

Speaker 4 (01:14:50):
Consume responsibly and it.

Speaker 8 (01:14:52):
Says according Now, this is an article that I found
in Yahoo as I was trying to research this item.
It says, feel Free Classic has not been shown to
cause any serious physical or social harm, but the product
is not for consumption or for sale to persons under
the age of twenty one.

Speaker 7 (01:15:08):
The social harm, yeah, I don't know. I never heard
that term.

Speaker 8 (01:15:12):
Yeah, I'm guessing that people who consume it like you
would alcohol in social settings, that maybe because we have
seen a shift. There have been several news stories in
the past, a shift of this younger generation not wanting
to consume alcohol. But I guess maybe this is the alternative.

(01:15:32):
But it sounds like it's just as addictive and maybe
even more so.

Speaker 9 (01:15:35):
And again, this guy said that he had been accosted
by miners trying to get him to buy it. So
feel Free Classic is the gas station. I don't know
if it's available here in Charlotte or not, but this
is the story that goes along with it. So feel
Free Classic if you so now you know is what
I'm trying to say, Be on the lookout.

Speaker 8 (01:15:56):
Just know that it's not like a little five hour
energy drink. It's an actual herbal supplement drink.

Speaker 9 (01:16:01):
Speaking of energy, Boomer seems to have unlimited energy when
it comes to the Friday News Quiz. Four weeks in
a row, he's the winner. We'll see if anybody can
stop him. This is good morning, beauty, and welcome yes
to the Boomer von Cannon Invitational.

Speaker 19 (01:16:28):
Now you crazy kids were talking earlier this morning about
breast milkshakes. Yes, so that just intrigued me, which I'm
not combat take away. We'll pass over that class right
past it. Which country has no breast milk taboos? Routinely

(01:16:50):
adding it to coffee? India, Mongolia or Thailand.

Speaker 8 (01:16:56):
I was going to say, it's got to be sounds
like a big cock cock tail, you know, like a
bang cocktail.

Speaker 4 (01:17:01):
Okay, I'm going to be different in say Mongolia.

Speaker 19 (01:17:24):
In early America, breast milk was used to treat some
eye problems.

Speaker 4 (01:17:29):
True or false That the topic.

Speaker 7 (01:17:35):
I'll go true.

Speaker 8 (01:17:36):
Early America used to treat eye problem.

Speaker 7 (01:17:39):
True, but I feel like Mark made this false.

Speaker 8 (01:17:43):
I'm gonna say false because everybody else said true.

Speaker 4 (01:17:46):
Is that everyone?

Speaker 5 (01:17:47):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (01:17:47):
Well, actually it's true. It was a condition called nippole.

Speaker 7 (01:17:51):
I no, I'm but but but it was used.

Speaker 8 (01:17:55):
Is that like a sty what's that your eye?

Speaker 4 (01:18:04):

Speaker 2 (01:18:05):
All right?

Speaker 19 (01:18:06):
Focus today is National Pickleball Day, you know, sort of
like tennis with a wiffle ball.

Pickleball is actually celebrating its fourteenth anniversary.

Speaker 4 (01:18:17):
True or false.

I'll say true. I feel like it's been around a
lot longer.

Speaker 5 (01:18:21):
Yeah around.

Speaker 4 (01:18:22):
Yeah, I think it's false, though, I gotta go false.

Speaker 2 (01:18:25):
I don't think quite fourteen.

Speaker 8 (01:18:27):
I'll go with Boomer False.

Speaker 4 (01:18:28):
It is false. It actually started in nineteen sixty five.

Speaker 8 (01:18:32):

Speaker 2 (01:19:37):
I'm thinking forty.

Speaker 4 (01:19:38):
Yeah, I think it's forty one because it's not a
round number. Thirty.

Speaker 8 (01:19:42):
I'm gonna do with forty one.

Speaker 4 (01:19:44):
Boo thirty percent. That's correct. Boom Boomer's feeling the heat. Now, yeah,

Speaker 7 (01:20:15):
I'll go with Finland as well, Czechoslovakia.

Speaker 8 (01:20:17):
I'm gonna say Norway, Norway.

Speaker 4 (01:20:19):
It is Norway.

Speaker 19 (01:20:20):
Ninety seven percent of the transactions in Norway are cash
way and Steve is finally on the board to Steve, Well,
let's talk about the rain Bow's favorite subject, apparently after
breast milk. How much rain did we get on Tuesday?
As recorded at Charlotte's Airport two point five inches three

(01:20:42):
inches or four point one.

Speaker 4 (01:20:45):
Four point one four one four point one?

Speaker 19 (01:20:47):
I know way high readings in the eastern Medicobourg seemed
like West Mcgrenburgh didn't get quite as much.

Speaker 4 (01:20:52):
I think it's four to one.

Speaker 2 (01:20:54):
I'm gonna go with the threes.

Speaker 4 (01:20:56):
You're all.

Speaker 19 (01:20:58):
At the airport two point fine. Some other parts of
town got much more, which is always weird. Why do
we tell people how much it rained at the airport?
Nobody lives there, don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:21:13):
Whether there are homeless people and tom hags.

Speaker 8 (01:21:16):
All right, let's see, all.

Speaker 4 (01:21:25):
Right, now we're off to before I lose my voice.

Speaker 19 (01:21:28):
Here northern Denmark, where a zoo is asking people to
donate what to feed the lions fresh meat unwanted pets
are fish?

Speaker 4 (01:21:39):
Unwanted pets fresh meat? Yeah, unwanted pets.

Speaker 19 (01:21:47):
They are specifically asking for rabbits, chickens and even horses
to feed the lions.

Speaker 4 (01:21:53):
And we had that story to get to this week,
and we never got to it, you know, breast milk first.
But yeah, an Italian ketchup.

Speaker 1 (01:22:04):
Uh.

Speaker 19 (01:22:04):
In November, Mecklenberg voters decide whether to raise the sales
tax by a penny for buses, trains and roads. How
much does the city say the higher sales tax will
cost poor people two hundred bucks a year, one hundred
thirty bucks a year or one eighty a year.

Speaker 4 (01:22:23):
I believe it's one eighty.

Speaker 2 (01:22:25):
Yeah, I'm with you, Steve.

Speaker 7 (01:22:26):
On that I just have to make up some ground.

Speaker 13 (01:22:28):
I go one thirty here, I'll go one eighty one.

Speaker 7 (01:22:36):
I don't think it's gonna make a difference, all.

Speaker 4 (01:22:38):
Right Now, I'm gonna name three items?

Speaker 7 (01:22:40):
Will it make it different?

Speaker 19 (01:22:41):
I'm gonna name three items which one will not be
covered by the transit tax. In other words, one of
these you will not have to pay the transit tax on.

Speaker 4 (01:22:51):
Is it Panthers tickets, Big Max or Fair Life milk?

Speaker 8 (01:22:59):
Which one will not fair life milk.

Speaker 4 (01:23:02):
Yeah, I'm gonna ride with Beth on that one.

Speaker 7 (01:23:05):
I'll go big Max Panthers tickets.

Speaker 2 (01:23:06):
Let me go with Pathers tickets.

Speaker 4 (01:23:08):
And the answer is fair life milk. Yeah, not the
same as breast milt tried.

Speaker 8 (01:23:16):
Well, it is technically milk. It's cow breast milk. It's
cow breast. That's right, it's utter stuff, utterly delicious.

Speaker 4 (01:23:26):
Thank you, that's right.

Speaker 19 (01:23:28):
Don't worry about getting nippleye if you're drinking. All right,
So we have winter here.

been listening since the beginning of the show. Jeremy says,
I'm waiting for the trivia question. True or false ketchup
is historically a staple in Italian cuisine.

Speaker 7 (01:25:17):
The Italian community loves ken.

Speaker 9 (01:25:19):
But he actually texted earlier today said by far, boy
Crazy has been the most painful song Beth has added
to the Spotify list.

Speaker 8 (01:25:29):
You are not wrong, Jeremy. I'm gonna have to agree
with you. You are not wrong.

Speaker 9 (01:25:34):
So Beth woke up to boy Crazy and I mean
with a K, but not this song. No, I had
to break into the song that someone might have heard,
which is this song, which is a number one song
back in nineteen ninety three, hang on great Hook, That's
what love can do. But Beth woke up, of course

(01:25:55):
to a deep cut from the same album that no
one except Beth had ever heard. And I'll do you
a favor and I'll just play the one that people.

Speaker 8 (01:26:03):
Like I really shouldn't tell this story and then go ahead,
and you're gonna get a I know you're gonna pull
out a humble brag.

Speaker 4 (01:26:16):
It's ready, it's ready, you got for I know I.

Speaker 8 (01:26:20):
Don't want to tell the story, but but Jeremy, I'm
gonna tell too late.

Speaker 2 (01:26:25):
Now I know.

Speaker 8 (01:26:26):
So I was friends with a member of Boy Crazy.
I was friends with them.

Speaker 4 (01:26:33):
I need a whole new sounder. And he's like a
I mean like that was a good morning team And
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 8 (01:26:42):
Earlier in the show today, you told you played the
Casey Caseum intro to the Boy Crazy number one. That's
what Love Can Do.

Speaker 6 (01:26:50):
And now we're up to the recent number one hit
by Boy Crazy.

Speaker 7 (01:26:54):
Okay, I'm not tell me you were there for one
of the first kisses I was.

Speaker 8 (01:26:57):
I was when they got so. Ruth and Roberts was
the member of Boy Crazy that I was friends with,
and I was highly nervous that her first kiss was
going to be a story about my brother. I really
thought for a second. My dad even texted during that
segment and said I had forgotten about Ruth Ann Roberts,
and I texted him that that story that I was

(01:27:21):
really I was thinking that her first kiss might have
been branded my brother.

Speaker 9 (01:27:24):
I'm not going to do this to everybody who if
you if you really really want to hear the story,
you can go back on the podcast. But I have
a story from Casey Casem about how the members of
the band Boy Crazy were telling stories of their first kiss.

Speaker 8 (01:27:37):
Yes, yes, And I was really nervous when waiting to
get to ruth Ane.

Speaker 4 (01:27:41):
When I played that. You thought it was going to
be about your brother?

Speaker 5 (01:27:44):
I did.

Speaker 8 (01:27:44):
I thought it was going to be about my brother.

Speaker 7 (01:27:47):
Wow, what kind of universe you must live in?

Speaker 2 (01:27:50):
This is not real?

Speaker 5 (01:27:50):
Next level?

Speaker 4 (01:27:51):
So listen, so I thought I was.

Speaker 9 (01:27:54):
I thought, oh my gosh, this is going to blow
their mind because I'm going to play a clip of
Casey Casem talking about Boy Crazy like boy Crazy one
of the most obscure, the most obscure thing you've chosen.
Your mind is for sure, for sure, and you're over
there going not wow, I can't believe that he has
a piece of of Casey case and Boy Crazy memorabilia.

Speaker 3 (01:28:15):
Here.

Speaker 4 (01:28:15):
You're thinking, is this going to be about my brother?

Speaker 8 (01:28:17):
I was really nervous. Well, so weird deep trivia. Before
before ruth Anne was in the group Boy Crazy, she
was in a group called the Jam Kids, which I was.

Speaker 2 (01:28:27):
A member of.

Speaker 5 (01:28:32):
Good Morning Bet Humble Brad.

Speaker 8 (01:28:35):
So, ruth Anne was in the group, and my brother
was also in the in the group, and we used
to tour mostly the Midwest and sing it mall openings.

Speaker 5 (01:28:45):
It was good Morning Bet Humble Bras.

Speaker 4 (01:28:48):
Come on, I'm sorry you might break the record here.

Speaker 8 (01:28:50):
I should not have told the story. I should not
have told the story. But ruth Anne so that in
the song, who could ask for anything more? Of the
deep cut that no one knows? That's ruthean solo. Wow,
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 4 (01:29:04):
I kneel like a walking behind the music special.

Speaker 8 (01:29:07):
No, it's it's like did you ever watch Have I
Met Your Mother? You know the Robin the character that
was a Canada pop.

Speaker 4 (01:29:15):
Star that sparkles.

Speaker 8 (01:29:16):
Robin Sparkles. That's more accurate. It's not like a behind
the music It's kind of like a sad, weird thing
that was part of my childhood that I sang at mall.
Beth Puddles exactly, Beth Puddles. Oh okay, sang it all
in mc hammer pants.

Speaker 11 (01:29:31):
None of that.

Speaker 8 (01:29:33):
That were red.

Speaker 4 (01:29:35):
I can't believe it. But we still have an hour
to go on this show.

Speaker 9 (01:29:40):
When we come back, our good buddy Sean O'Connell from CBR,
and then later next hour our buddy Nick Wilson as
the Panthers get said to get ready to play the
Cleveland Browns tonight at Bank of America Stadium. He does
Cleveland Radio. Used to work at WF and Z for
a spell. But he's a member of the extended family.
So and I'm sure remember a big fan of boy Crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:30:05):
That's enough bringing cheerios?

Speaker 16 (01:30:08):
You eat curious, I want roovers.

Speaker 5 (01:30:10):
Just follow my mouth from News Talk eleven ten and
ninety nine three double eat bet, This isn't we have
a four?

Speaker 2 (01:30:18):
Who has Andre and the Giant?

Speaker 5 (01:30:19):
This is good morning Beaty with both Thompson and bed Trout.

Speaker 4 (01:30:23):
But thank you Amy High School Band for that eloquent selection.

Speaker 8 (01:30:28):
Maybe someone could help me write my wedding house.

Speaker 5 (01:30:29):
How about this? I amma take you a man whose
daughter is a little demon favored? What is taking so long?
We switched bodies. As teenagers, we have no power, but
as adults we can break our parents up for good.
Could we borrow your car?

Speaker 18 (01:30:49):
We are totally of age to drive. Disney speak to
your Friday in theaters August Stage. Get tickets now, dy Peache,
it's right?

Speaker 4 (01:31:07):
Is this boy crazy?

Speaker 8 (01:31:11):
What was her name? What was Samantha Black or Rebecca Black?

Speaker 7 (01:31:15):
She's a DJ now.

Speaker 4 (01:31:16):
Actually, Happy Friday, everybody.

Speaker 9 (01:31:19):
And by the way, we usually talked to Hancock at
this time on Fridays. Hancocky is off this week and
so we're lucky to be able to get on the
line right now. He's in high demand everywhere he goes.
From CBR, it is Deputy editor Sean O'Connell. Happy Friday, Sean.

Speaker 7 (01:31:35):
Hello, my friends, it's going to be with you.

Speaker 4 (01:31:38):
So since I last.

Speaker 9 (01:31:39):
Talked to you, I've now seen the summer trifecta I've
seen I saw Jurassic and then I saw Superman that
I saw Fantastic Four, So I'm I'm in the club.
The thing that I I'm sort of marveling at is
that The Jurassic World is already on digital as of
this week, Like, is that a good thing for them?
Or because I thought that movie made a lot of money.

Speaker 15 (01:31:57):
It made the most money so far of those three
movies globally. Which if you had asked me at the
beginning of the summer, which of those three was going
to dominate. I would have put the house on Superman
because I kind of thought the Jurassic franchise had played
itself out. But I mean, it just goes to show
that people still want to see digital dinosaurs on the
big screen. And yeah, you're right. I'm stunned that that

(01:32:21):
movie is available on digital because that's feeding into this notion.
You know that people don't have to go to the
movie theaters.

Speaker 1 (01:32:28):
They can just wait.

Speaker 15 (01:32:29):
I'm gonna I'll wait and see it on streaming because
it's not going to be available, you know, six months
from now. It's going to be available in a couple
of weeks. And that's what's killing movie theaters. People are
not going to see the movies on the big screen
because they know they're going to be able to get
it at home very quickly, and the studios are doing
it to themselves. It's driving me nut.

Speaker 9 (01:32:48):
The question is the people still go to the movies
on the big screen to see movies like we're seeing
today and within the last week. Because I played that
clip coming out of the break there Freakier Friday. Jamie
Lee Curtis is back, and so is Lindsay Lohan. They
originally did the Disney remake back in two thousand and three,
and now they have a sequel that's out today. And

(01:33:09):
then of course The Naked Gun with Liam Neeson in
place of Leslie Nielsen that debut last weekend. And so
you have two decidedly, you know, different direction type movies
than the big popcorn summertime movies that we've been talking
about so much already this summer.

Speaker 15 (01:33:25):
Well they are, but they're Nostaltia and that's what's playing,
you know, at the theaters. And will I think continue?
It's everything old is new again, you know, can we
bring back something that you're familiar with? And with the
case of Freaky of Friday, I get it, like this
makes a lot of sense. You're getting the original stars back.
No one's seen Lindsay Lowen in a mainstream movie in

(01:33:45):
a really long time. Jamie Lee Curtis still has a
great audience. It's a way for parents to maybe bring
their kids to go see something that they liked growing up.
That makes sense. And bo the movie that has made
the most money this year is Lelo and Stitch, and
so you know, it does show that families do want
to go. I just you know, I brought my family

(01:34:07):
to go see Fantastic Four, and we paid for the
Imax screens because we wanted to go see it, and
we were up over one hundred bucks before we even
got to cause the concession stands.

Speaker 2 (01:34:15):
So whoa.

Speaker 15 (01:34:16):
I am well aware that it is very expensive to
bring a family to the theaters. So you know, this
is what Hollywood's banking on. Our family's still going to return,
and if they're going to do it, it's gonna be
this weekend for something like Freakier Friday.

Speaker 8 (01:34:28):
And well, the Naked Gun too has the nostalgia feel
for people our age who were very excited to see
the first three I guess Naked Guns. Yeah, but I
was surprised that this opened to only I think it
was only like seven million dollars domestically.

Speaker 15 (01:34:45):
Yeah, I don't know, because again, if you have freak
Your Friday bets, you can sell it on the original
stars are back. You know, with Naked Gun you're trying
to resell them on a premise with Liam Neeson now
leading it, so there isn't that kind of similiarity.

Speaker 3 (01:34:59):
I all.

Speaker 15 (01:34:59):
Also, you're leading up to the release of this one.
I tried to get my son to sit down and
watch the original, and it played for about twenty minutes
to them and then they were like, onto the next thing.
I still think it's hilarious, but like, I'm into that
stupid goofy humor. I just don't know if that plays
for the for a modern audience. I don't know if
it still has that kind of hold, And I wish

(01:35:21):
it did, because I think, you know, we need comedies
that are just joke, joke, joke, joke, you know, over
and over and over again, instead of these high concept,
you know, comedies that you have to spend too much
time thinking about what the punchline is going to be.
But yeah, I was a little disappointed and how that
and how that opened and how it played.

Speaker 4 (01:35:38):
They're like, dad, how did they let OJ do this
movie right?

Speaker 2 (01:35:42):
Right?

Speaker 8 (01:35:43):
Well, there are so many references in that that that
probably don't even make sense to younger people. I mean,
the royal family in that Get There. There are lots
of things going on in those early movies.

Speaker 15 (01:35:54):
I know, I know, but but funny is supposed to
be universal, right, Like, if it's a good joke, it
should work for almost everybody, And I don't know if
that's the case necessarily.

Speaker 9 (01:36:04):
So I had a listener on the text line a
few weeks ago text me and he said, Hey, I
love hearing Sean, but do you ever talk about movies
that aren't superhero movies with Shawn and I? And I,
as I always say, you and I have talked so
much over the years because we kind of gravitate towards
the same movies, but you are probably our longest running
guest on this show and even preceding me being here

(01:36:26):
with Alan Stacy, and you've talked about all kinds of
movies for years. In fact, you were the first person
to say anything about the Substance movie with Demi Moore
earlier this year. But so I said to him, well, look,
next time Sean's on, I will ask him, you know what,
what non superhero movies would would you recommend this year?
And I said, you're you're free to offer up questions

(01:36:48):
as well, and he says, okay, very that's fair. So,
you know, looking back at this year so far, what
are some some off the beaten path movies or maybe
just not you know, obvious movies that you would point
people towards.

Speaker 15 (01:37:00):
This Because the good news is a lot of the
stuff that's been noteworthy from the beginning of the year
is now reaching streaming. Kind of circling back around to
what we were talking about earlier, is that you can
get to see this stuff a little bit sooner, and
so if you have access to these platforms, The Sinners
is still the biggest story of the year, you know,
the Michael B. Jordan re teeming with Ryan Coogler for

(01:37:22):
a vampire story that if you know, if you don't
know a lot going into it, you know, keep it,
keep it that way and just go into the experience.
It's streaming on HBO Max, but it's a period horror film.
There's a movie that's now available on digital this week
that no one saw and absolutely everyone needs to. It's
called The Life of You.

Speaker 8 (01:37:41):
I'm so glad you brought it up. I haven't look
at this. I have it on my screen. I was
going to ask you about it. I watched it this weekend.

Speaker 4 (01:37:47):
The Life of what shuck? Sorry that sounded like the
Life of.

Speaker 8 (01:37:53):
I'm so sorry. I was going to ask you about
this if you didn't say it. And I watched this
weekend and it was the movie I didn't know I
needed to see.

Speaker 15 (01:38:04):
It's magnificent it's brilliant. I just wish more people knew
what it was. I guess because it's The director is
Mike Flanagan, who if you look up any of his stuff,
he's done nothing but incredible storytelling. It stars Tom Hitdleston
and it's an adaptation of a Stephen King short story.
But it's not a horror film in any way.

Speaker 1 (01:38:22):
Shape or formance.

Speaker 15 (01:38:23):
It's more like when Stephen King did like stand By
Me or The shosh Ank Redemption, just these character driven,
uplifting stories. What do we tell people about it? I
mean it's hard to sell, you know, and I almost
want people to go into it cold because if you
don't know where it's going, it really packs a wallup.

Speaker 8 (01:38:42):
Yes, and my advice to everyone is to keep watching
because the first part of it might not make full sense,
but it really unfolds beautifully and everything is tied into
this lovely bow.

Speaker 2 (01:38:56):
Yeah, exek you.

Speaker 15 (01:38:57):
So it's a story told in three chapters, and like
Beth said, the first one is going to throw you
off a little bit, but pay attention to the details
and follow where it's going. And it's a truly, truly
beautiful story. The third act is magnificent and I can't
recommend it highly enough. So The Life of Chuck is

(01:39:19):
something I would put on people's radars. Also, just an
offbeat sort of sci fi film is called Companion. I
believe that's on HBO Max as well too. It stars
Jack Quaid and Sophie Thatcher. Definitely worth checking out. And
then if you still want to go to the theaters
F One. You know, it seems to be the movie
that people keep going back to. It's got a little

(01:39:39):
bit of that top gun maverick, you know magic to
it that you kind of have to see it in
the big screen because of the way to put you
into the cars and experience the racing and kind of
the way you do with the flying. So there's plenty
of options out there for people who just want to
dig around a little bit.

Speaker 9 (01:39:52):
Okay, so let me turn it around in the other direction.
We're getting towards the end of the summer movie season here.
What else is, if anything, are you looking forward to
before the season is over.

Speaker 15 (01:40:05):
There's a movie called Weapons that's out in theaters this
weekend that I'm actually probably gonna go out of my
way to see because I didn't get a chance to
screen it beforehand. Starts Josh Brolin and it's written by
the guy who did a movie called Barbarian that came
out recently, which had the kid from it I forget
his name. And then after that there's kind of a

(01:40:25):
drop off, like looking ahead even to like the fall
season and the award like we're going to get Awards movies.

Speaker 21 (01:40:32):
You know.

Speaker 15 (01:40:33):
The Rock is in a film called The Smashing Machine
about the WWE and we're gonna get Wicked for Good,
which people are really excited about. But there wasn't a
ton on the horizon where like from now to the
end of the year. I was like, oh my god,
I cannot wait to see that. Like, so there's a
third Avatar coming. If you're still into that world, you know,
we'll find some gems because once you start going through

(01:40:55):
the fall movie season, the cream rises the crop kind
of thing. But looking at the schedule, there's nothing really
that gets my pulse racing.

Speaker 9 (01:41:04):
Last thing, I'll say, uh, we'll walk it back around
to uh to superhero movies. Fantastic four. I watched the movie,
like I told you, and it has a two post
movie what do we call them? They call them the
the post post credit scenes and there's one that I saw. Uh,
there's a version of it that's making the rounds online

(01:41:26):
that's fake, you know what I'm talking about, which no, okay,
the very I'm not going to give it away for
anybody because it's a it's an important and it's it's
a big deal for what's coming with you know, Avengers Doomsday.
But there's a version of that that I saw before
I actually saw the movie. I saw it by accident
and I went in the movie thought I knew what
I was going to see and it wasn't it. But

(01:41:46):
it just it reinforces like how careful you have to
be now because people, you know, they'll will take stuff
and they'll you know, add add AI to them, and
it's it's it's tough to be a movie fan these days.

Speaker 15 (01:41:57):
Well, and so my oldest son, who were watch all
the Marvel movies together and that's kind of our thing.
We didn't get to go opening weekend because I was
in San Diego for Comic Con. So I come back
from the trip and he goes, well, I had Fantastic
four spoiled for me. I said, well, what are you
talking about? And he lists these things that happened. I go,
how did you find out? And he goes, well, I
saw it on TikTok. So he shows me the video
and the video starts and it goes huge spoilers for

(01:42:20):
Fantastic Four, And I said, why didn't you stop watching?

Speaker 11 (01:42:24):
Right then?

Speaker 9 (01:42:26):
I thought you were going to say, hey, that's not
a spoiler. I'll tell you what happened, because I was there.

Speaker 15 (01:42:32):
Just this generation. Man, they spoiler warning and they keep
watching it, keep going.

Speaker 9 (01:42:38):
Well, look, man, we appreciate your time as always. Sean
O'Connell from CBR joins us periodically and I hope you
have a great weekend.

Speaker 15 (01:42:45):
Thank you guys, talk soon.

Speaker 2 (01:42:46):
We love you.

Speaker 4 (01:42:46):
Sean.

Speaker 8 (01:42:47):
And I have to say really really quickly because someone
did text us on the text line that I got
so excited about the movie they couldn't hear the name
of the movie it is. I will say it again.
It's called The Life of Chuck, starring Tom Hittleston. I
did when he said it, I did gasp, and I
got scared.

Speaker 9 (01:43:02):
Turn the music down from it, very sorry, turn the
music down here here the Life of Chuck, The Life
of Chuck.

Speaker 1 (01:43:08):
There you go.

Speaker 5 (01:43:09):
This is good Morning Beta.

Speaker 9 (01:43:13):
Friday Morning here on News Talk eleven, ten, nine and
nine to three WBT, don't forget the seventeenth segment.

Speaker 4 (01:43:21):
Eighth episode is rolling right now.

Speaker 9 (01:43:23):
If you don't know what the seventeenth segment is, we
have a podcast that is a companion to this show.
If you listen to this show and you just can't
get enough, sixteen segments aren't doing it for you. We
have the seventeenth segment where we go down to Jason's
basement and do another I don't know, sometimes thirty minutes

(01:43:44):
forty five minutes kind of a catch all kind of
moment where we can get to all the things that
we didn't have time to finish on the air, or
questions that people have, or things that really don't make
sense to go that far into detail on the air.
If you're really into knowing everything, that's the place you go,
and you can watch it.

Speaker 8 (01:44:04):
From Jason's basement, I mean, and it's a you can
tell that we are definitely in a basement. But this
past episode, we took questions from all of you. In fact,
we ended up talking about one specific question the entire
probably thirty five thirty five minutes, a question we got
from a listener. But we love when you send us
questions that you want us to answer off the air.
That was Hendon, right, Hendon way to remember.

Speaker 4 (01:44:27):
Then here's a Who. And I'm curious. I don't know
if Hendon never heard the podcast, but his ears must
have been.

Speaker 8 (01:44:34):
Burning, right, because we've entitled the podcast after and we
called it Hendon Hendon. Here's a Who. And we appreciate you, Hendon,
but we love getting text on the text line seven
of four, five, seven oh eleven, ten because we will
answer them, and we answer them even before we do
the seventeenth segment, because Kathleen just sent a text our
way asking about the movie that I so rudely interrupted
with my excited gasp and Kathleen was wondering what it

(01:44:56):
was because she wanted to watch in it. It is
just a movie. It's called the Life of Chuck and
Kathleen and I love you, and I'm sorry I got
so excited.

Speaker 9 (01:45:02):
But that's like the best endorsement for a movie ever.
Like I gasped, like like on the you know when
you see the trailer poster, Yeah, and they just be like, gasp,
Beth Troum, Well this one too.

Speaker 8 (01:45:14):
It's told kind of backwards. It's it goes act three,
act two, act one, and it's not a terribly long movie.
But the first act, even my husband was sitting there going,
I don't understand quite what this is about. And he
was afraid that it was going to be this like
handy hand, heavy handed movie about what climate change. And
that's not what it is at all. You just have
to that, I'm out, it's not what it is at all.

(01:45:36):
You have to you have to kind of give it
a chance, because the first act is it unfolds backwards.
So but it's it's it's just a lovely, creative, creative movie.

Speaker 7 (01:45:47):
Much you're looking for a very very political movie. Do
you guys have any any thoughts.

Speaker 4 (01:45:51):
Or suggestion politics? What are politics?

Speaker 9 (01:45:55):
When we come back, an old friend of the show,
Nick Wilson, who does afternoons on the flagship station of
the Cleveland Browns, gonna join us as the Panthers are
getting set to play the Cleveland Browns preseason game number
one tonight at Bank of America Stadium. We'll talk to
Nick right after the news here on good morning, bet, good.

Speaker 13 (01:46:21):
Morning, this is good morning, beat all right, crank it
up here, chants going on.

Speaker 9 (01:46:39):
So I have to tell you Beth, I reached out
to this guy, knowing that the Browns are coming to
Bank of America Stadium, my old friend who used to
do a radio show at w f and Z, in
my opinion, one of the best ever to do it

(01:46:59):
on f n Z, And I said, Hey, would you
be interested in coming on the show with us on
Friday before the game? And I'm going to read you
his response verbatim. It says, hot Dog Juice accepts this
gracious invitation, and so we go to the WBT hotline
and welcome the one and only good friend of the show.
Even though we don't see him every day anymore, we

(01:47:20):
still love the guy, Nick Wilson from ninety two to three,
the fan in Cleveland.

Speaker 4 (01:47:25):
How you doing, my friend?

Speaker 11 (01:47:28):
It is an honor to be back.

Speaker 1 (01:47:30):
Hot Dog Juice never misses an opportunity to talk to
his friends in Charlotte and to bring the juice and
set the juice loose upon the Queen did now real quick?

Speaker 9 (01:47:42):
For people who may be new to the show, Beth
explain the hot Dog Juice thing.

Speaker 8 (01:47:46):
Oh wow, Well, when Nick, when Nick was here, I
used to do a segment on Nick's show. What did
we call it? We called it the bit with Beth yep,
and I don't even remember how did we get to
hot dog juice. It was a beer. It was a
beer that tasted like hot dog water or something, and
I mispronounced at the festival and it just became a

(01:48:08):
whole thing.

Speaker 3 (01:48:10):
I believe it was.

Speaker 1 (01:48:12):
At one point Beth used the term hot dog juice
and I said, you know, that was my nickname in
high school. And she, very very concerned, said.

Speaker 11 (01:48:22):
What And I said, no, Beth, I'm not being scared
of it. Now. It is my nickname.

Speaker 21 (01:48:27):
Now it is.

Speaker 8 (01:48:28):
It has stuck, and everyone is now calling you hot
dog juice. I used hot dog juice instead of hot
dog water. That's what it was.

Speaker 11 (01:48:35):
So t shirt sales in and of themselves we paid
for my house.

Speaker 5 (01:48:39):
Oh good, good, Good, complained.

Speaker 9 (01:48:41):
She's the gift that keeps on giving even when you're
not in the market anymore. There, Nick, but you're there
in Cleveland. We've got a big game. Now, look this.
We're interested here because obviously we're the Carolina Panthers fan
base and you're interested in it. But I think is
it safe to say that here on the the second night?
Or I guess with the hall of Fame game, the

(01:49:02):
third night of NFL preseason action. This is probably from
a national perspective, the most intriguing game on the schedule
because you have the debut of Shador Sanders tonight.

Speaker 4 (01:49:13):
He's starting.

Speaker 11 (01:49:15):
Yeah, it's funny.

Speaker 1 (01:49:17):
The whole rhythm to getting he said about a preseason
game is pretty much the same every year, which is
you lead up to the Hall of Fame game and
go football back and then like three plays into the game,
you're like, oh, no one's playing. I guess I'll have
another hot dog. This is different, So you know, I
think it should be noted Shador was not going to
be starting this game. He has been throwing to fourth

(01:49:41):
stringers and guys from the equipment team and maybe Chuck
from accounting. He's really not been given a real chance
to win this quarterback battle. But Kenny Pickett got hurt
a week ago with a hamstring. Earlier this week, Dylan Gabriel,
who was getting a real chance to take the starting job,
he pulled up with a bad hamstring. So they're not

(01:50:03):
playing tonight, and that afforded Shador this opportunity. And I
will say, like I think, I think Carolina fans are
going to notice some of the hype that comes with this,
and it reminds me of when Cam came into the NFL,
Cam Newton, because there is like, he's not just a quarterback.
And obviously Cam was the number one pick in the

(01:50:23):
NFL draft. You know, Cam had been the you know,
Heisman winner, all this sorry, National Championship winner, all this
kind of stop with shador.

Speaker 11 (01:50:32):
I mean, he really is a social.

Speaker 1 (01:50:33):
Media star, influencer quarterback and so and so it's it's
just this wild Oh and he's also a fifth round pick,
so he wasn't going to start this game. Now he's
going to start this game, and the reaction to it
is probably going to fuel my show for the next
three weeks before the regular season starts.

Speaker 9 (01:50:52):
So if he comes out of the gate tonight and
and like you said, he hasn't been practicing with the
first team, But if he comes out tonight and lights
it on fire, then is there a quarterback controversy or
is this his job to win? I mean, we obviously
know what happens if he doesn't do well tonight, but
what could happen here?

Speaker 1 (01:51:10):
I think if any of the other quarterbacks went out
tonight and had actually played and had a great game.
I think it would have catapulted them into the front
of the quarterback race. I think Shador is battling with
this coaching staff some perceptional things going back to the
pre draft process. Remember, Shador really upset a lot of

(01:51:30):
people in the NFL by trying to push his way
to teams that he thought he'd fit better. And it
really upset a lot of people in the NFL, including
the Browns, and so you know, Unlessen you can do
that if you're like a bona fide top three pick,
if you're a second round pick talent, it's going to
boomerang back on you quick, which is what happened. And

(01:51:52):
now personally for me, I think he should if he
plays really well tonight, I need to see him get
all the second team reps next week because their other
quarterbacks are Joe Flacco, who's older than I am and
maybe slower than I am.

Speaker 11 (01:52:07):
I'm talking about fast, I'm not talking about the physical speed.

Speaker 1 (01:52:10):
I'm not talking about mentally nobody okay, but Kenny Pickett,
who is just booty cheeks is just awful, unplayable in Pittsburgh,
and Dylan Gabriel, who I should I know an unfairness.

Speaker 11 (01:52:25):
You guys can attest to this. I'm six foot four,
so I am a firm six foot four. I'm not
faking being six foot four.

Speaker 1 (01:52:31):
Well, Dylan Gabriel's allegedly five.

Speaker 11 (01:52:33):
Foot eight, and he did not come above my moves.

Speaker 2 (01:52:37):
Like he is.

Speaker 1 (01:52:38):
He is a training little fellow. So it's not like
it's a murderer's row of guys that Chaudor is going
up against. But yet I think that perceptional issues within
the Browns organization is going to hold him back a.

Speaker 7 (01:52:50):
Little bit longer that I miss this guy.

Speaker 8 (01:52:51):
I know, man, just all of this right now, I've
just been missing you so so much. For Shador tonight.
If he has this really great moment, is this his
chance at like a like a Kurt Warner story, Because
didn't Kurt just get to go in because somebody else
got injured and he just suddenly got to play when

(01:53:12):
he was kind of the underdog quarterback? Did that happen
to Aaron Rodgers too?

Speaker 4 (01:53:15):
Tom Brady, welly, yeah, I mean it.

Speaker 1 (01:53:18):
So the I love the Kurt Warner thing because you know,
Kurt was undrafted. Yeah, Kurt was like stocking a grocery
grocery in the offseason and like North Dakota or Minnesota
or something like that, and then Trent Green got hurt
by Rodney Harrison hit him in the knee, and Trent
Green was supposed to be the starter there, and then
you know, Kirk kind of took over. Listen, I think

(01:53:40):
that circumstance is what gets Shador the chance, but I
think it has to come in the regular season. I
think it's so easy to discount what happens in a
preseason game if you're a coach, because you're playing against
some of the Panthers ones, but not all the Panthers ones,
because all the Panthers ones you're only going to play
for a series or two and then so it's it's

(01:54:00):
really easy for coaches to discount something like this. Whereas
if Shadoor works his way up to beingless to the
backup quarterback by the time the regular season happens, yeah,
I think his best chance to play is going to
be the quarterback in front of him gets hurt, because
I just think, you know, let them Listen. I've been
covering the NFL for twenty years and the thing that

(01:54:22):
I know is that coaches are just like you and me.

Speaker 11 (01:54:25):
We have our biases.

Speaker 1 (01:54:26):
We have people we like to work with, we have
people that we have to get along with and kind
of make it through the day. And I know each
of you are probably thinking about the same people I'm
thinking about that still work there, Jess kidding. We love everybody,
but no, so I think I don't you know, the
head coach of the Cleveland Browns, I don't think wanted
to draft Shador Sanders, And a lot of it is

(01:54:48):
the social media stuff, like the social media superstar stop
and so even though he fits the system as well
as anyone they have.

Speaker 11 (01:54:56):
I think the only way.

Speaker 1 (01:54:57):
Shadoor is going to change Kevin Stefansky, the brown Shit
coach's mind, if he gets it, if he gets it
on the field in the regular season and does something
like that. If it sounds unfair, I know it does
feel a little unfair at times, but the reality is
this is just this is how the NFL works. Like,
if you're not one of the anointed ones, you have
to work one hundred and twenty percent harder than the

(01:55:18):
guy that you know might be the anointed one and
he only has to work ninety percent.

Speaker 17 (01:55:22):
Is hard.

Speaker 9 (01:55:23):
We're talking to our good buddy, old friend Nick Wilson,
who now is on ninety two three the fan in Cleveland,
once upon a time worked at WFNZ down the hall
here in this building. Now we've talked about the team
where you are. Let's talk about our team here in Charlotte.
And you know you you did some shows on wfn
Z when the Panthers. You've seen some Panthers bad teams
over the years. You've also seen years where the fan

(01:55:46):
base was sort of getting excited and then they realized
coming out of the gate just it just didn't it
didn't materialize. We're kind of at the point again where
because of the way Bryce Young ended last year and
the team ended on an upswing, there's a lot of
buzz about how good this Carolina Panthers team can be
with Bryce seemingly you know, uprighted, and we've you know,
picked up some some some players in the draft and

(01:56:08):
in free agency. Do you think that the hype is
legit for this Panthers team?

Speaker 1 (01:56:14):
All right, So that's a trick question, but I will
I will elaborate on watch. I think I think the
second a team starts to show promise, we jumped several
levels of expectation. So I think if Panthers fans are
expecting the playoffs, I think you're setting the bar too high.
I think it's possible. I think the NFC is a

(01:56:36):
lot more wide open than the AFC, So you know,
I think I think there could be some circumstances here
that play in your favor. But there's a couple of things. One,
that offensive line needs to be the best unit on
this team. Bryce Young being a smaller quarterback, they I
think they finally got some weapons around him.

Speaker 11 (01:56:56):
I think that gives him a chance. But that O
line has to be really, really good this year. And
then you go to the defense.

Speaker 1 (01:57:03):
I was counting this because I was surprised, you know,
I like Dan Morgan drafts the Panthers GM that I
was going through the defense and I'm like, like, eight
of your eleven starters were drafted by somebody else, and
they're not like big ticket free agents. It's just guys
that fit your defensive coordinator scheme. That probably isn't the

(01:57:24):
It probably isn't like the recipe for being a great defense.
So the offense is gonna have to carry you, and
that's that makes the O line even more important. But
what I will say is if you set your bar
at about seven or eight wins, I think that's incredibly doable.
I think that's like the median of what to expect,
because I do think. I think I think Ted McMillan
and Bryce seem to have something really cool and that's

(01:57:47):
going to take make it easier for all the ancillary
weapons to just show up because now they're not trying
to be the wide receiver one. I think he got
one of those. And then, by the way, I also
think your running game is going to be really good. Well,
so yeah, I mean, like, I'm excited to see what
the Panthers do. I think the Browns are three to
five win team.

Speaker 11 (01:58:05):
I think the.

Speaker 1 (01:58:06):
Panthers are anywhere from a six to maybe nine win team,
probably closer to like a maybe a seven or eight
win team. I'm really excited to see what they do
there because I've heard a lot of great things about
Dave Canalis and about Dan Morgan.

Speaker 4 (01:58:19):
So you're a hot dog, juice glasses half full guy.

Speaker 11 (01:58:24):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:58:24):
People been saying that about me as a matter of fact,
that one of our shirts at at Nick Wilson does
dot Com is of a shot class half full with
hot dog juice, and it says half full.

Speaker 11 (01:58:36):
It's a little on the nose.

Speaker 1 (01:58:37):
But I think you'd like it though. They do make
it in this medium.

Speaker 4 (01:58:40):
No, he remember you, remember hey? Look before I let
you go.

Speaker 8 (01:58:47):
Oh, man, I wish I could just Oh, I have one.

Speaker 4 (01:58:50):
More guy that wants to say hello to you.

Speaker 2 (01:58:52):
