Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for a little high lighthouse teacher. This is
the place. Let's go from the news talky leven tad
at ninety nine three, tulky beat, common sense. This is
your wake up call. Get your mother. This is good
morning beating with both Thompson and Beth Trout. This place
is a mountain of goodness and a mixed up work.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
I heard you call him on the megaphone. You want
to see me all as.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Like you as it.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
You are quite the piro you like the match to.
And if you never call me, I might a drowning
mouth calling a swimer loyalty to me.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
So let me get this straight. One week ago, right now,

(01:27):
you could not get this song yet because it was
not released. And yet you wake up with this song,
and you can't wake up with a Huey Lewis song
that's been available for I don't know, forty years, forty years.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
I'm not gonna lie. It's catchy, guys, it's catchy. I
listened to the album because it's been getting so much press,
good and bad. And I read this really lovely article
that actually, Sir Stephen Evanthety sent me that was really about.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Was it on parchment.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
He's written on the virus with his quill, and he
made it to the ink was wet.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
I said it via carrier pigeon.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
It's arrived quite quickly.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
It arrived last night. Actually, it's how the song came.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
You sent it on the day the album was released,
and now it has arrived.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
But it was it was an article about the people
who enjoy this particular album are people who understand the
process of healing the process of healing from trauma and
heartbreak and and what that means to heal or to
also be happy for other people who heal, and so
I had to, you know, intellectualize that. And so I

(02:45):
was like, all right, I'm going to go listen to this,
and I would bebopping around town running all my errands
and stuff. And it is a delightfully like happy bebop
album that I enjoyed it. And this song it sticks
in your craw in a good way, like it sticks
to your brain like glue. Which I've always said that
whether you like Taylor Swift or don't like Taylor Swift,

(03:07):
she can write a hook. She can write a hook
that literally does hook inside of your ear. It's like
an earworm This earworm has stayed with me cause you came.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
From Bubba just texted the text line and said, come on, Beth,
that's escalator music found in malls.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Wow, those are You're gonna get the Swifties after us.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
You know what's funny is you know that you're our age,
you're you know that you're of a certain age when
you do find elevator music and and and like grocery
store music poppin'.

Speaker 6 (03:51):
Do you know how much I wish I could listen
to some weather channel, whether on the AIDS music right
now on the eights, just that music.

Speaker 7 (03:58):
It's just sick nice and it's just very catchy and.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Show now your local forecast.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
Isn't it funny? How? And this is a side note,
and having worked in television for twenty years, how every
station has their thing like weather on the ones we
had at w When I was at WCCB, we had.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Forecast on the force. Yeah, I remember that too.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Oh and if I missed it, boy, howdy did I
get in trouble. And then one day I just totally
made fun of the fact. I was like, well, guys,
we're the middle of an interview, but we got to
get to forecast on the Force and I got I got,
I got, I got.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
In trouble, Bernie. Look, you're you're saying that you're longing
for that music. We can recreate it right here and now.
Oh yes, you are local forecast on the Weather Channel
with saxophony beginning three two one. Have you thought about

(04:56):
moving to a place with better weather or better music?

Speaker 4 (05:01):
If you're Bubba's right. I just wrote back to him.
I said, ha, ha.

Speaker 7 (05:08):
This islet music.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Very Oh. I love elevator music. I'm not gonna lie.
Don't you love when you're in an elevator at a
hotel and you're you're in there for a while because
you're stopping on every floor to let people on and off,
and it it's the mus Zach version of popular music,
and you get to try to figure out what it
is you're listening to, Like, yeah, the Muzach version. It's
the you're like, man, this is this is Michael Jackson's

(05:30):
human nature, and you.

Speaker 7 (05:31):
Don't hellow edge to it.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
So it just me who enjoys this. I actually hate elevators,
so the music makes it much better.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
I like it when I'm on the elevator by myself,
when somebody else gets on, you get all self conscious,
like should I talk? Should I say something like what's
going on?

Speaker 8 (05:47):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (05:47):
I get nervous because I'm afraid too many people are
going to get on and I'm going to be smushed
in the back. I get off the elevator when too
many people get on.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
I'm just like, this is my floor. See I go
when I go to public it has an elevator.

Speaker 9 (06:01):
No way.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
Would I get in a grocery store elevator.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
No way. I go down to the bottom level because
no one's ever there. You get a parking place wherever
you want, there's no one there. So it's just like
and then you get on the elevator and I'm like,
is it going to stop at the second floor? Is
it going to stop at the second floor? Please don't
mess up the flow here. And when it stopped at
the second floor, you're like, oh, it's like the it's
like the games. You're dunt dunt du dun.

Speaker 8 (06:22):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
And again you're just going two floors. But there's nothing
more satisfying than it not stopping anywhere.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
No grocery store elevators, no way.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
I don't know why I took away the elevator music,
because we're still talking about elevator.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
We used to take in downtown Concord when my mom
had stuff that she needed altered, you know, like a
pair of pants tend or something. There was this fella
who was on the upstairs level of one of the
downtown buildings and it had one of the elevators that
was teeny tiny, that had one of those like fence
tight gates.

Speaker 6 (06:52):
Like the ones in the beach houses that they have
nowadays super famcs.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Oh and when people have elevators in their homes, no
way am I getting.

Speaker 10 (06:58):
In that thing.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Live in this place up a little bit, all right,
Like I said, three two one, Okay, there's not enough
time for Steven Tyler right now. I wanted to say
hey and thoroughly enjoy the show.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
Thank you for taking the time to call in.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Well, y'all, keep worried, done a great job.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
Thank you. Man. Keep on keeping on.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
This is good morning beauty with Bowen Path.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Crank that music, Bernie got some people here there, Yeah,
lean into that. I want to bring on our next
guest to see if he knows what music this is?
Does this sound familiar to you? Raced Agic, I'm gonna
have to hear a couple of more. All right, all right,

(07:49):
hang on a second. Crank that up, Bernie, all right,
bring it down there. I'm gonna give you another option
because this is an alternate version of that. How about
this race stagic Now you are local forecast.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
That's the background music that all of us are grooving
to race stage that you all play on the Weather Channel.

Speaker 11 (08:23):
Yeah, the low qualities music it is.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
Now now you're wondering why why are we starting with that?
We just had somebody h send us a note about
elevator music.

Speaker 4 (08:34):
It was escalator escalator music at malls.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Yes, yeah, I got a much better wait, we got
we got another one on one more time. Oh yeah.
See that's like a combination of the Weather Channel and
Charlie Brown. But anyway, we got, we got. We got
to talking about music like that. We were talking about
that's what it sounds like on an escalator at a
mall or an elevator. And then I said the Weather

(09:00):
Channel Local forecast.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
That you know that you're of a certain age when
you enjoy the Weather Channel's local forecast loop.

Speaker 11 (09:07):
Yeah, and it's not like one of those ages you
want to say, Hey, yeah, it definitely leans higher towards
the target demo.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
Right, it also means you get a discount at the
grocery store and at restaurants.

Speaker 11 (09:19):
But come on, and you got a car, and you
got a car too that you've got to show people. Hey,
I qualify now for that.

Speaker 8 (09:25):
Now.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
See, I've never been to where your offices are, but
I've always sort of imagined that you work in an
environment where like this is a live band playing in
the lobby.

Speaker 11 (09:34):
Wouldn't be great? Fantastic? Yes? Right?

Speaker 3 (09:38):
Well yeah, anyway, Yes, you never know what you're walking into,
do you No, That's why you love us, Yes, exactly,
Race stage.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
Well that sounded sarcastic.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Ray stagic from the Weather Channel. So we're checking in
today because, well for a number of reasons. First of all, uh,
there is a a tropical system out there. Is Jerry
a named storm yet? Or is Jerry a name to be?

Speaker 11 (10:07):
Jerry's a name tropical storm? Okay, And I do apologize.
I mean all the love, but I came into this
thing I was thinking much more serious. So thanks for
keeping it a little lighthearted. Yes, Jerry is a name storm.
Tropical storm currently wins sixty five miles per hour. So
almost that catwe strength for parts of the islands tropical

(10:30):
storm warnings. Then a hurricane probably gonna go east of Bermuda,
indirect impacts there as the latest advisor from Hurricane Center
and the cone does put even the center east of Bermuda,
but still there could be some impacts from some rough surf,
so Antigua, Barbuda, Saint KITT's, some of those areas, Saint Martin,

(10:52):
some of the other islands that can't pronounce. That's where
the watches and warnings are in place for tropical storm
conditions and maybe hurricane conditions. Another one that's going to
be wide right to the US mainland.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Now, this is going to technically, I mean, if the
report that I'm reading and it's from the Weather Channel,
it's correct that this northeaster that's headed this direction could
bring some heavy rains and some strong winds to even
our area this weekend, not to mention, of course, the
North and South Carolina coast.

Speaker 11 (11:24):
Yeah, and that's the million dollar question right again, it's
how far west does the rain shield get with a
developing low pressure as it goes north and north of
our latitude Saturday Sunday becoming a nor'easter and then heading
looks like it's going to get in the mid Atlantic,
potentially the northeast and New England. So the guidance says,

(11:46):
maybe not rain Charlotte and along and west of I
eight five up toward the Triad, but maybe a little
better chance even as you go east of I'm gonna
go Raleigh to Fayetteville and that into the outer banks,
that looks like right now the best chance of rain.
And then as you get closer to the coast, I
mean there's already because of this persistent easterly flow and

(12:09):
strong high pressure, there's already been coastal flood advisories on
the coast, and that's just going to get exasperated by
developing a low pressure too, so more flooding into the
outer banks, more inentation there, even into South Carolina, Charleston
close to my heart because I've got a daughter going
to grad school there. They've already put out numerous statements

(12:30):
about flooding in the potential for downtown being at least
in some spots underwater too because of a storm that
you know isn't going to have a name, or at
least not likely have a name, but a good old
fashion as it develops, maybe northeastern, going up the east coast.
So again it's one of those today, tonight, Tomorrow, Saturday,
and then I draw line. I'd say anything past maybe Saturday.

(12:54):
Just kind of take right now a little grain of stall,
because a few miles further west, i'll where the load
develops and where the moisture shield get that. All bets
are off for no rain for the weekend. But if
it stays east, it's going to be a beautyful fall
weekend coming up. So you know, I like to say
I'm three day ray. I go beyond three days, I
do get a little bit uncomfortable. I guess that's the
best way to word it. But right now it does

(13:16):
look like bigger impacts and more impacts continuing for you know,
an area of the country, the Outer Bank specifically I'm
speaking of that hasn't had a landfalling tropical system, but
it has been a tough late summer and early fall
just because of the couple of misses and all the
beach erosion and the flooding and the house is going

(13:38):
into the water, and then the big high settling in
is persistent on shore flow with high tide and the
King tides down in southward on the entire east coast
from the mid Atlantic south has been under some type
of coastal flood advisory practically all week and there's not
even a storm yet, so well, and then it tells
you what's going on.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
And then around here in Charlotte, I mean, if you've
been out outside today already, it's windy and that's going
to be part of the story today. And the temperature
is lower than it has been the last several days.
So does that have anything to do with what's you know,
on the periphery of this system or what's going on here?

Speaker 4 (14:11):
What's brilli?

Speaker 11 (14:12):
It now more function of the strong high to the north,
kind of building in. Got a little bit of a
northeast breeze, so you could call it kind of a
wedge of cool air coming in near seventy the next
couple of days. Lots of sunshine, the winds make us
twenty to twenty five cool mornings too. I'm not ready
to say cold yet, low mid forties or fifties this

(14:33):
morning may seek into the upper forties, and some spots
tomorrow morning around the area, but off to the west
and northwest into the blue ridge. There are some thirties
around this morning, so little hints, little hints of things
to come as we start seeing these coal fronts mean
a little bit more in terms of cooler weather. But
it looks like as we get past this upcoming weekend,

(14:54):
in next week, we could be back close to eighty
degrees again.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Well, I'm up against the news here, but I can't
let you get out of here without refer to what
is always going to be the intro now three day Ray.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
I know as soon as you said that, I didn't
hear anything else you said the whole rest of the
segment from now on your three day Ray. It's like
the sixty minute man Ray.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
Like I said, you never know what you're walking into,
but you're always a good sport. So thanks all right, man,
be good. Sixty one on WBT, President Trump announcing late

(15:37):
yesterday that Israel and Hamas have agreed to what they
call the first phase of a plan to end the
war in Gaza. This was announced late yesterday. Then he
went on Sean Hannity last night on the phone for
a pretty lengthy interview actually that they eventually evolved into
other things. But of course this was the first place

(15:59):
where President Trump had a chance to explain the deal,
the parameters of the deal that appears to be in place.

Speaker 4 (16:06):
And I'll tell you what was fascinating if you saw
the conversation that the President was having. It was kind
of a roundtable discussion. And Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State,
handed President Trump a piece of paper that basically was saying, Hey,
this is about to happen. We want to make sure
that you're the first one to announce it. And it
was interesting to see that happen in real time.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
So let's go to the interview on Fox last night.
This was around nine pm. President Trump called in Sean
Hannity's show to elaborate on the deal.

Speaker 12 (16:34):
Tremendous help, as you know, with everybody from Steve Whitcoff
and Jared Kushner and Marco and we had everybody, JD.
The whole group was just amazing. And the military was,
as you know, very instrumental in getting this done. We
have a great military with great leadership. The whole world

(16:55):
came together, to be honest, so many countries that you
wouldn't have even thought of it, and they came together.
The world has come together around this deal, and that's
something I would say that without that, it wouldn't happen.
So many countries that you wouldn't have thought of have
wired their best wishes and their commitment to do whatever

(17:15):
is necessary. The country surrounding of all signed. I mean,
they're all signed up, and it's it's been really an
amazing period of time and so great for Israel, so
great for Muslims, for the Arab countries, and so great
for this country, for the United States of America, and
that we could be involved in, you know, making a

(17:39):
deal like this happened because it was you know, many
years they talked about peace in the Middle East. This
is more than Gaza.

Speaker 11 (17:45):
This is peace in.

Speaker 12 (17:45):
The Middle East. And it's been an incredible thing.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
Now the question is what happens next. What are the
you know, what are we expecting? As I said, first
phase is how he described it. What will the other
phases be? When will the hostages be released? That the
question everybody wants to know and wants to see if
this holds.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
And I think everyone is breathing a sigh of relief
because if you look at these these numbers, according to
the latest reports, at least sixty seven thousand, one hundred
and eighty three people have been killed in the Gaza
Strip area. Twenty one and seventy nine of those were children.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Well, let's go back to the interview for a minute here,
because President Trump did get around to talking about what
he believes is ahead in the coming days.

Speaker 12 (18:31):
I think you're going to see people getting along and
you'll see guys are being rebuilt. We're forming a council
that the Council of Peace. We think it's going to
be called, and it's going to be very powerful, and
it's going to really, I think to a large extent,
it's going to have a lot to do with the
whole Gaza situation. People are going to be taken care of.

(18:54):
It's going to be a different world.

Speaker 11 (18:55):
I think.

Speaker 12 (18:55):
Really the Middle East came together amazingly, they came together.
You know, they have some countries with extraordinary wealth and
just spending a small portion of that wealth can do
so much for that area. So we'll we'll be involved
in it. But the big the big thing is hostages
are going to be released. It's probably our time would

(19:17):
be probably Monday, and you know it's it's they're terribly
a terrible situation. They're they're deep, they're deep in the earth,
and they're being gotten and a lot of things are
happening right now as we speak. So much is happening
to get the hostages freed, and we think they'll all
be coming back on Monday. So it looks like that's

(19:40):
the thing, and that that'll include the bodies of the dead.
And you know the parents, the parents that we're I
talked to so many of them, but the parents are
more almost more intent, but equally intent is getting getting
there in just about all cases, the sun, the sun's
body back than they are as though the young man

(20:03):
was alive. It's just the same intensity they want. They
want their baby's body back. That's what one woman said,
I want my baby's body back. And you know the
sun is twenty five, twenty six years old, so that's
a very big part of it. Getting all of the
it's about twenty eight. The number is twenty eight will
be coming back, but unfortunately dead.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
That's the President on Fox last night talking to Sean Hannity.
So you heard there. Monday is the target day for
those hostages to return. And we will continue to cover this,
but major breaking news late last night.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
I mean this is a This is a huge deal
and something that people will remember this administration for. Is
my guest, Now, what could really help you sort through
these important issues? What orae vocal frat poncino.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Well, the next time you go to a Starbucks, I
do wonder if that's the reaction you'll get from the
barista behind the counter.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
Well, it could be because there's a whole new training
protocol going on with the folks at Starbucks. And I'm
not mad at those guys, but you know me, I
kind of love the experience. I have the greatest barista
at the Starbucks that's near my house that's open at
flipping four thirty in the morning, Thank goodness for that Starbucks.
And there's the sweetest little lady there, and she always
is just a delightful ball of sunshine, which is crazy

(21:32):
that early in the morning. So I don't think they've
had to train her according to this new training protocol.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
The unstoppable Force meeting the immovable object.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
But now they are being all of the baristas at
Starbucks across the country. They are being coached to read customers'
moods and to choose the right gestures and the correct
tone of voice with which to communicate with a customer.
So maybe she's only matching my mood. So maybe she
has been trained and she's matching my mood at four

(22:02):
thirty in the morning. But here's what they say to do.
Pause for a few seconds, make eye contact, don't rush
the moment when you're delivering that coffee. Thank them with
your eye contact. You guys are laughing at me.

Speaker 7 (22:20):
Your eyes.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
But they're saying, read your customer's moods and choose the
right gestures. So you may have someone hand you your
coffee and say, your caramel machiato looks so good. It's
one of my favorites. And they want you to now
feel better, and then take a seat in the comfy
chairs that they have provided. Noticed the smiling face of

(22:44):
a barista, and they want the baristas to now look
you in the eye and say, have a nice day,
and scrawl your name spelled correctly or at least closely
correctly with the sharpie on the cup.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
What if you don't make eye contact and you try
to avoid talk, but.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
Then you should order through the app and do the
little the little pickup thing over on the side.

Speaker 7 (23:06):
I will meet your energy sir.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Yeah, so you're basically saying they need to match the
person's energy. On the other side, what if there's none.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
If there's no energy, then so here's okay. So I
would probably I should work at a Starbucks. I would
be a great barista. I would not be great at
making the coffee, but I'd be so great because I
feel like it is my responsibility in life. And this
is in all situations. And you guys know this about
me that I feel like it's my job to lift
a space if somebody is not making eye contact. This
happened one of our guests recently did this. They didn't

(23:36):
They didn't. They didn't talk directly to me. They talked
to you bo, but they wouldn't make eye contact with me.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
And trust me, it's been the other way around before.
I won't name names, but I could I stare at
them down.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
Yeah, there are there are a couple of guests, you
know what I mean. There are a couple of guests
that come in and will not look at boy.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
I will ask them a question and they will turn
to Beth and begin answering.

Speaker 4 (23:59):
But I do feel like there there's probably I think
what they're training these baristas to do is to feel
the responsibility of helping lift someone's mood. So maybe if
you came in bone you didn't want to make eye contact.
So if I were the barista and I'd gone through
this training, I would I'd kind of been down, like
under the brim of your hat. I mean, hey there, Phila, Yeah, Hey,

(24:19):
they're fella.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
How you doing?

Speaker 4 (24:21):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Bow?

Speaker 4 (24:22):
And I'd spell it b E A U X just
for fun, I know, cajun Sir.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
There's actually audio this we Hi.

Speaker 13 (24:31):
My name is Phil, this is my son Sam, and
I'm brand new to coffee, so I.

Speaker 14 (24:36):
Don't want too much, Okay, Can you take half of
the regular version of the coffee and mix it with
half of the decaffeinated version?

Speaker 11 (24:45):
Or is that?

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Is that just too weird a thing to ask for?

Speaker 11 (24:51):
Half calf?

Speaker 8 (24:51):
Right?

Speaker 1 (24:52):
That cait half calf.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
We're gonna have a half calf diet, you see it?

Speaker 4 (24:57):
So see now, the new Starbucks barista would say, of course,
that's not a weird thing, sir, half calf. It's one
of my favorites. I can't take too much caffeine, you know.
And you have this whole little interchange with the person
and then suddenly their day is made a little bit better.
That's the goal of this new Starbucks.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
Yeah, you're gonna You're gonna make them match your intensity.
I could see Beth as a barista in retirement. She
literally said barista. She said, I should be a barista.
I'd probably be really great as she would be.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
I could lift people's moods. Don't you think with a.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Oh boy, I feel better. I'm starting to think that
I'm going to be doing the show solo tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Tall non fat, double atte or you're at the back
of the line, I recognize that. Cut it out.

Speaker 8 (25:41):
You're out of here.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
You can't kick me out. You're really invading my earspace.

Speaker 11 (25:44):
Look, I'm a frequent coffee drinker.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
I'm part of the club.

Speaker 8 (25:46):
I have a card.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Do you have a card?

Speaker 13 (25:49):
Do you have a card?

Speaker 1 (25:50):
Anyone to hear? I have a car.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
We don't have frequent drinker cards.

Speaker 7 (25:53):
It's a video club card.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
Sit there, sporty spice? Are we doing this?

Speaker 7 (25:57):
Is this happening now?

Speaker 4 (25:59):
Sorry?

Speaker 1 (26:02):
How do you do?

Speaker 12 (26:02):
Fellow kids here?

Speaker 8 (26:03):
Good morning?

Speaker 3 (26:03):
How are you doing all right?

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Sir?

Speaker 8 (26:05):
Good morning?

Speaker 1 (26:07):
From News Talk eleven ten and ninety nine three double
bet Gosh, that's not a good thing.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
Have you thought about moving?

Speaker 1 (26:14):
This is Good Morning Beaty with Bo Thompson and Beth Trout.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
But I found you my horses again a horseshoes.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
All right, it's seven o seven. Hey, we're gonna go
to the WBT hotline. Actually, let me do this the
proper way. The first Lady of Charlotte Sports joining us now,

(26:51):
Sharon Thorsland.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
How are you.

Speaker 10 (26:53):
I'm good that that song still makes me smile in
spite of the chaos going on a shoppahole right now.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
Oh my gosh, talk about chaos. I mean, give us
the give us your skinny, give us your take on
where you think Bill Belichick is headed both. Bo just
held up his finger. He's like, let's catch everyone up
so exactly.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
So I absolutely want to hear what Sharon has to
say about this. But if you're just joining us today
and you don't know what the latest on this story is,
so you remember that a few days ago WRAL has
a reporter Pat Welter up there who broke this story
about these things that were happening behind the scenes with
the tar Heels. And there are new allegations and things
that they're hearing behind the scenes. This is Pat Welter. Yesterday.

Speaker 9 (27:35):
We reported in our investigation Monday, citing nearly a dozen sources,
that Bill Belichick's coaching and culture has led to a
divided locker room. Now, multiple sources have shared with me
that there was a fight in the locker room just yesterday.
A lot of Carolina's internal issues the result of an
individualistic culture, according to sources, and a locker room divided
by Mac Brown era players versus Belichick recruits. According to sources,

(27:59):
Belichick recr have received preferential treatment. One player repeatedly named
by sources as cornerback Thatius Dixon. According to sources, Dixon
potentially out for the season after an injury he suffered
in the Clemson game. U and C has not confirmed
his status and the team isn't required to file an
injury report until next week. Meanwhile, cornerbacks coach Armand Hawkins

(28:19):
was suspended Tuesday according to The Athletic, which is owned
by The New York Times, for benefits allegations which came
to light from wril's investigation. But sources tell us that
players were told in a meeting Tuesday that Hawkins would
mispractice for personal business.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
Okay, So late last night Wednesday, dual statements from Carolina
Athletics officially from the school. One from Bill Belichick says
I'm fully committed to unc football and the program we're
building here, and then one from Bubba Cunningham coach Belichick
has the full support of the Department of Athletics and
the university. Two sentenced long statements last night, obviously put

(28:55):
out there because of the stuff that's been swirling around
Chapel Hill. So Sharon Thorsland, that gives a backdrop to
people who maybe have not heard the latest on all
of this. But I'm very curious about where you come
down on all of this.

Speaker 10 (29:09):
Oh my gosh, I never dreamed that this would happen.
I mean, I knew that, you know, Belichick would cause
a lot of sirrel and things, but certainly not for
these reasons. I truly thought that he would be able
to put a good product on the on the field,
and even if it was more of like a rebuilding
type of a project because all the new players. But
it sounds like complete and utter chaos over there right now,

(29:33):
and it's embarrassing, frankly, as a love of the University
of very proud tart Hill, as you know, it's it's
just embarrassing to have this going on, especially with the
claims of the you know, the toxic locker room and
the players being divided and via the me culture kind
of thing. And it sounds like Belichick has just sort
of got its head the clouds. That sounds like the

(29:53):
assistant coaches are running the show and are arrogant, and
that Belichick, you know, deals with players one on one
every now and then, but isn't like much of a leader,
which is just really strange to me. So it's a
bad situation. And I was a little surprised to see
those statements coming out last night from him and the
university because there were some rumors going around that they

(30:16):
were talking buy out, you know, to get rid of
them already. So I guess maybe they feel like they've
got too much invested in is to make a change
here in mid season. But I wouldn't be surprised if
a few assistant coaches get the acts in the next
couple of weeks.

Speaker 4 (30:28):
Well, these stories are definitely changing the mystique around Bill Belichick, right,
It's kind of like we're getting a peek behind the
curtain maybe and seeing what kind of leader he really
might be. And in the middle of all of this,
I don't know if you remember this, but Hulu had
planned to do a documentary about Bill Belichick and they've
mixed that product now because of the awful start to

(30:49):
the season, not just all of the rumors about what's
happening behind closed doors, but because of on field performance.

Speaker 10 (30:56):
Yeah, two and three on the season, losing the big
way to teams that it's like, wow, really yeah, it's
it's just not good all the way around for the
reputation of the football team or the university or Bill Belichach.
I mean it's like, I don't know what happened to him.
I don't know if it's the girlfriend running the show
now or what is going on. But he's getting some

(31:16):
padded bites from people. But I mean, he was so
successful in the NFL for such a long time, and
I know a lot of people say, oh, it's just
Tom Brady, but I mean he had great defenses when
he was coordinators for teams, and I mean even you know,
even Tom Brady, you don't won a Super Bowl every year.
So I don't think that it was all Tom Brady
up there. I mean, Bilichick was a good coach and
a good defensive coordinator, which is all the more surprising

(31:37):
that Carolina's defense is so horrible. But it's just it's
just a weird situation all the way around, and it's
not giving us any good pr that's for sure, and
now pulling money out of the pocket of potentially the
university too, with Hulu nixing this this documentary.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
Yeah, and they're about to go and play Cal. They're
at Cal, not not this week, but the following Friday.
So there's this long gulf in between this last game,
which you know now that all this swirl is going on.
The Clemson game seems like a long time ago, and
the next game seems like a really long time from now,

(32:16):
So it makes you wonder what's going to happen in between.
There's a guy named Ali Connolly who has a lengthy
thread that that appeared on X yesterday that basically goes
into even more detail about what is happening behind the scenes.
He says, per sources, this is Ali Connolly writes for
The Guardian, says Bill Belichick has discussed buyout options with

(32:38):
North Carolina. His hierarchy Belichick has signaled him a willingness
to trigger his own one million dollar buyout if you
can find a soft landing with another team or in
the media. Now again, if this stuff is true, this
sounds like it's just the tip of the iceberg. And
then wr L was running out a story last night
about talking to legal analysts to to find out whether

(33:00):
the university could fire Bill Belichick for cause based on
what's happening in the locker room and some of these
allegations behind the scenes. So you know, yes, there were
two statements last night from both the coach and the
athletic director that everything is okay. Doesn't sound like it.

Speaker 10 (33:17):
Is, No, absolutely not. I mean, all those reports that
are coming out, there's some there's got to be some
truth behind us. There's too many different sources. There's too
many different complaints from different players and from from parents
in particular, which I find really interesting. You had a
guy Mac Brown, you know, there for years who is
just the most congenial guy ever you know, and was

(33:39):
they said, you know, treated players like like he was
a father figure to them, and Bill Belichick apparently is
the complete opposite, and parents are not allowed to talk
to him. And they're saying they have no contact information
for any of the coaches, and Michael Lombardi, the GM,
is apparently an arrogant, really a guy that's just not
letting anybody have any contact with program. So it sounds

(34:01):
like there are just so many different levels of dysfunction
going on right now that it seems like Carolina has
to do something. And of course it's all started because,
you know, one guy on the board of directors decided
that we needed to hire Bill Belichick and sort of
overruled Bubba Cunningham, you know, who he wanted to hire.
So it seems like they've got to do something to

(34:21):
put out the flames a little bit. Obviously, there's two
statements coming out last night. Maybe held things help for
a bit, but they've got to make some changes, either
firing Belichick, buying him out, or doing some wholesale changes
right now in the football program, or this is just
going to continue to spiral.

Speaker 4 (34:34):
You know, I've always said that lak attracts like and
if you have one person with a you know, a
ginormous ego, then you end up having other egos and
misbehaving kind of all around, because you know, chaos begets chaos.
Ego begets ego, and you know, bad behavior and and
mistreatment kind of begets bad behavior and mistreatment. So you're right,
they need to they need some kind of the need.

(34:57):
They need a Matt Brown kind of magnet that that
brings in some of that that just genuine accessibility.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
Well, you know, Mac Brown's too busy taking pictures with
Drake May right after his career game, right was the
That was quite the timing on that picture with Drake
May the other day after again, uh, you know, Drake
May has a career game as a Patriot and you
get nothing out of the tar heels officially for ridiculous. Yeah,
I think so that's ridiculous.

Speaker 10 (35:26):
So, I mean, belcheka, I can't believe that he is
that got his nose bent that much about the Patriots.
It's like, dude, come.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
On, that's the same that's that ego. It's that ego thing.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
There's the quote. You are correct, that's the quote of
the day from Sharon Thorpsland. Dude, come on, all right,
we'll let you go. We'll keep watching this and we'll
be back in touch if need be.

Speaker 10 (35:49):
All right, sounds good, good morning.

Speaker 15 (35:52):
Enjoy your show.

Speaker 11 (35:53):
Thank you love the show, long time listener over a decade.
Consider you guys for a family.

Speaker 4 (36:01):
He says, you're very kind.

Speaker 11 (36:03):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
This is good morning beat in my mind, I'm lout.

Speaker 4 (36:14):
And you see the sunshine.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
I think this is on Belichick's Spotify.

Speaker 4 (36:20):
Is there a like death metal version of this song?
Because I feel like more that's Bell Belichick's spirit.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
Oh, if there is, you're gonna hear it. In a
few minutes, I mentioned that wr L had another report
out asking legal mine's about could they fire Belichick for cause?
This is Eric Miller last night.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
It's a blow up in Carolina Blue.

Speaker 14 (36:47):
What could happen if you and Seed decides to call
it quits with Bill Belichick.

Speaker 16 (36:52):
Under Bill Belichick's contract, they can fire him at any time.
They would need to pay him thirty million dollars if
they didn't fire him for cause.

Speaker 14 (37:02):
During Attorney Andrew find says saving that money and finding
cause to the goat isn't easy. But Belichick's contract does
interestingly include a lack of institutional control.

Speaker 1 (37:13):
As a ruser, the coach could be fired.

Speaker 16 (37:16):
A lack of institutional control typically is made up of
a lot of sort of lesser violations.

Speaker 14 (37:23):
According to find there are two things UNC could port
too to make the argument players selling tickets but a
coach offering improper benefits. However, those two things by themselves
fall far short of what the NCAA has called lack
of institutional control in the past, and find says if
U and C decided to go this route, Belichick would
almost certainly challenge that move in coort.

Speaker 16 (37:46):
But given the history of how that term has been
used and the things that have been used to constitute
a lack of institutional control, I think it would be
a difficult case to make that those two violations, if
you want to call them that met constitute a lack
of institutional control on the part of coach Belichick.

Speaker 14 (38:03):
And Fine also pointed out here as well, firing a coach,
even for causes a very rare thing in the sports world.
Instead a negotiated exit between a university and a coach
that is a much more likely outcome. Now, we did
reach out to a representative for coach Belichick on all
of this. That representative declined to comment, instead pointing us
to those two statements.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
That's from WRAL last night, Eric Miller reporting there I
should point out We just talked to Sharon Thorsland. We
will talk to the coach Matt Doherty coming up at
nine OZHO five this morning. Interested to get his take
on this as well, because you know, obviously not not
directly connected to the football program, but he's he's still
connected to a lot of people in Chapel Hill and

(38:46):
has never been shy from offering his opinion, especially when
they hired Belichick. And of course Doherty's been a coach
for a big program.

Speaker 4 (38:55):
There well, And think about think about the rich history
of coaches at You and C and how antithetical to
those stories this story about Belichick is. I mean, think
about the stories about Dean Smith, think about the stories
even about MATC. Brown, the most recent football coach there,
think about the stories of Roy Williams, and this is

(39:17):
the antithesis of that. It's the opposite of that style
of coaching. And it could be one of the reasons
too that this is such a shock to the system
of people at.

Speaker 8 (39:27):
You and C.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
Well, and I'm thinking about Matt Doherty and he had
a rough go of it there and much of it
not his fault, some of it was, you know, well.

Speaker 4 (39:35):
And he talks about that he talks about the mistakes
he made as a coach, and it sounds like what
we're dealing with here is the kind of coach who
is unwilling to look at himself in the mirror and
unwilling to recognize what might be going wrong and his
role in it.

Speaker 3 (39:52):
So another reason why looking forward to getting Matt Doherty's
take on this again. That'll be nine oh five this morning,
and you know, on this show, if some but he
says something we tried to uh, we try to accommodate
and see if you can pull this up. Berniem I
turned up over there, buddy, there we go.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
Visits a Bill Belichick version. This is what he listens to.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
Success, Wow, death metal, James Taylor.

Speaker 4 (40:31):
Who knew? Who knew that? This was a thing? I've
spoken and to exist.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
I'm going to jail.

Speaker 4 (40:44):
All right. Didn't you see Bill Belichick and his little
cutoff sweatshirt sleeves and with like a pair of Beat's headphones.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
On going to Carlos with his little girlfriend. Yeah, well yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anybody's seeing her lately? I guess he has. Well, that's
the only thing that's missing from this is a statement
from her.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
I feel like This makes it even more like knowing
how he's behaving or how reports are saying he's behaving.
I think this makes the pictures of like the Mermaid
and the weird beach yoga even more weird.

Speaker 3 (41:17):
That's where somebody says there were signs people and you
didn't pay attention.

Speaker 8 (41:22):
Good morning, Carlton, how you little bit the boat?

Speaker 1 (41:27):
Anyway?

Speaker 3 (41:27):
I'm on my way to work.

Speaker 11 (41:29):
Been listening to the station for years.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
I went through the Murky in the morning, John Boy
Billy settled.

Speaker 12 (41:33):
On you guys about ten fifteen years ago.

Speaker 11 (41:35):
Been listening to Boat for a long time. Loved the
show with Beth and.

Speaker 7 (41:39):
Boomer and all the guys.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
This is good morning, Patty. Pull it up.

Speaker 3 (41:50):
So recent survey this is I had it pulled up
here in a second. Let me make sure I got right.
Enjoy your traffic while I do this. Yeah, here it is.
New study published in Frontiers and Political Science found that
drivers are more likely to react with hostility towards bad

(42:12):
drivers when those drivers display bumper stickers from the opposing
political party.

Speaker 4 (42:18):
Now, if this isn't a shining example of the division
in our nation that road rage is more rageable because
of political bumper stickers.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
Now I'm gonna I'm gonna take this in a slightly
different direction because when I pull up in a parking
lot and I see out of the corner of my
eye a car that is just plastered with with bumper stickers, yeah,
is before I can even see who they're for or
what they say. If you're if you have like one
of those cars that has like twenty bumper stickers, it's
usually a beater car. You can barely see out the window.

(42:50):
I'm gonna find me a parking space in another place. Now,
maybe it's because you know, I work in a job
where you know, we're sort of inundated with all of that.
So when I'm done with it, that's not what I
even want to go near.

Speaker 4 (43:05):
Is it because you're afraid they're going to talk to you?
That like, if you run into them getting in or
out of the car, that you're gonna have to talk
to that.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
Person that's botops.

Speaker 4 (43:14):
Well, hey bo, I just bostickers.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
It's just like that screams to me. I have things
I want to tell you about the world, and I
don't want to. I don't want to. A lot of
people say, you're in talk radio you talk all the time.
You should love this. No, actually I love what we do.
But when it's when it's ten am, that's when I
turned the microphone off, and then I become the guy
who listens.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
Did you ever did you ever watch the show at
the Good Place with with Kristen.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
Bell, I know of it.

Speaker 4 (43:40):
Well, there was like the Ted and Ted dancing. Yes,
there was like the Ultimate Judge. His name was Sean,
which is hilarious, like the Judge of the Universe's name
was Sean. But when anybody would get emotional, he would
zip up into what was basically like a slimy cocoon.
Like I picture you going into a cocoon.

Speaker 3 (43:55):
It's a zip file.

Speaker 4 (43:56):
Yeah, you just zip right up into a cocoon.

Speaker 3 (43:58):
So, yeah, have a mean sense, and I actually don't.
That's that unusual. I mean we talk a lot, you
and me do. Yeah, this room, so when I'm done,
always say it's your turn. But I have the choice
of who I listen to, just like you have a
choice to listen to this station when I go out
about my business. It's one of the things I like
about radio is that we can talk, but then you
turn it off and you go about your day, and

(44:18):
I just I'm kind of I'm fatigued by that point.
So the last thing I want to do is open
up a cardor next to somebody who might engage me.
I mean, yeah, and you guys know what I'm talking about.
And the whole this study is talking about. If you're
out there and you see somebody who says something with
an opposing political view, well, I'm just talking about bumper stickers, period.

Speaker 4 (44:39):
Well I think this. I think that's a great point
because I do think this expands beyond political bumper stickers,
because if you are behind somebody in the fast lane
and they're going under the speed limit and they have
maybe your opposing sports team bumper sticker or Bernie says.

Speaker 6 (45:00):
Aestin constantly, And I told you in the break, I
get more upset if I have someone who's a fan
of my team who's a terrible driver in front of me,
and I'm like, oh, come on, you're making this look yes, I.

Speaker 7 (45:10):
Mean, give me a break.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
I didn't even think about that.

Speaker 7 (45:13):
I feel worse about that.

Speaker 6 (45:14):
I expect a Carolina driver and not be very good,
but when they're good, I'm like, oh, good for you.

Speaker 7 (45:18):
I'm kudos to you.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
Now Carolina tar heels or Carolina Panther tar heels.

Speaker 4 (45:22):
Okay, so I guess here's the uh, here's the question.
Have you ever been behind someone who like, maybe maybe
they made uh, maybe they weren't the greatest driver in
the world, but then you ended up behind them at
the stoplight where you got to read the bumper stickers
and they were funny, and then you suddenly had a
brand new opinion of that person. You're like, hey, I

(45:42):
like you. You're because there was once a guy that
had a bumper sticker on the back of his car
that was like, get off my tailor, I'm going to
flick a booger on you. And I thought that was
hilarious and I was like, you know what, You've got
a good sense of humor, So I'm fine if you
drive slowly.

Speaker 7 (45:55):
I saw one that said I'm only speeding because I
have to poop, and I really love, really love right.

Speaker 4 (46:01):
I feel like that bumper stickers can change your day
as well.

Speaker 3 (46:04):
That's what I want to hear. I want to hear
those yes, like, like I understand if you pull up
behind somebody and you're a Democrat and you see, you know,
a Trump twenty twenty eight sticker. Yeah, that that's we've
all heard those, and vice versa. I want to hear
the ones that made you actually go huh.

Speaker 4 (46:19):
Or made you chuckle. What are the creative bumper stickers
that you've seen? What are the ones that have made
you a have maybe changed your mood?

Speaker 3 (46:28):
Here it is if you have one that you legitimately
would make me go, hey, I want to knock on
your car door, and I want you to come out
and let's discuss. I want to discuss. I want to know.

Speaker 4 (46:39):
You what would make those What what would make.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
Bob follow you until you come to a stop and
then we will discuss he allow it?

Speaker 4 (46:51):
What would make bou park beside you and get out
of your car and discuss your bumper.

Speaker 3 (46:57):
Sticker with you. Don't get the wrong opinion. I want
you to flip booger on me.

Speaker 4 (47:00):
I just but I thought that was fun.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
It is that it's right that would get you to
knock on their door.

Speaker 4 (47:05):
Well, I don't know, I don't know. I don't I
don't know that I want to deal with a lot
of boogers, but I would. I totally thought, well, that
person's got.

Speaker 7 (47:10):
To say one more. I wish you followed Jesus as
closely as you're following.

Speaker 3 (47:14):
Me right now.

Speaker 7 (47:16):
That I thought was pretty funny.

Speaker 4 (47:17):
That is a good one. So what are Texas call us?
What are the best bumper stickers that you've seen at
a stoplight on the highway? And did it change your
opinion of that driver and maybe even their driving style?

Speaker 3 (47:30):
In the sports category, this is an oldie, but a goodie,
and this was this was this was against my team
growing up, but even as a young kid, as a
Braves fan growing up, riding into Atlanta, it sort of
gave me a window into Atlanta's sports fandom because it
said go Braves and take the Falcons with you. And

(47:53):
one of the most famous stickers ever came from here,
and Charlotte at least came from this radio station. Actually,
the way he tells it, a listener actually made the stickers,
and then WBT actually co opted it and made a
more official looking version. But in the early days of Hancock,
there was a listener who made a bumper sticker that
said Rush is right, and then underneath it said after

(48:14):
John Hancock on WBT. Now some people cut off the
bottom just said Rush is right. And then of course
a Hancock. Wait would be just cut off the bottom
and right after John.

Speaker 4 (48:26):
Hancock to John Hancock.

Speaker 3 (48:28):
So all right, traffic check right now, Boomer Voncanna.

Speaker 11 (48:31):
Oh.

Speaker 17 (48:31):
I picked up one in Coswall when one afternoon years ago,
but I still remember. It was a bumper sticker, a
silhouette of a wise man and talking to a child
or pointing his finger toward a child like he was teaching,
and the child was sitting, the wise man was standing,
and the sight of the bumper sticker said, teach a
young child to hate state.

Speaker 7 (48:55):

We're going for the whole buffet crap.

Speaker 3 (53:55):
New Stock eleven ten WBT. So y'all know me in
the text line, I get exhausted, I get fatigued, like
I just I just leave it to bath essentially because
I look down and I'm not to read something, and
then I look up and then I look back down.

(54:16):
They're forty more.

Speaker 4 (54:18):
I just want to say to all of you listening
right now, I could not love all of you more.
You have been sending us the most fantastic bumper story,
sticker stories, bumper stories. Actually some of these are stories,
but bumper sticker stories, and it is just absolutely making
our morning. So I want to make sure that I
share some of these with all of you because I

(54:38):
feel like this is gonna make everyone sad morning, and
we all need a good morning every now and again.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
Right, yeah, good morning.

Speaker 4 (54:45):
So I'm just going to try to go in order
because we have been getting one hundred rids of text
messages seven O four five, seven eleven ten. All right,
that's oh who's going to drive me home?

Speaker 1 (54:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (54:55):
That's I need a better talk something little fashion that.
Sorry about that, and no offense to the cars, but
that kind of ruined our momentum.

Speaker 4 (55:04):
Right, So David, David Wayne just sent this message in
and he said, good morning, bet This bumper sticker needs
some context lol. It's from Bertha's Seafood in Baltimore. It
reads eat Bertha's Muscles. He said, I was driving to
California with this bumper sticker on my car, and when
I was in Kansas, I was passed by a car

(55:27):
load of middle aged ladies who were laughing, clapping and
pointing at me. And it took me a second or
two before I realized they loved my bumper sticker. I
don't even know what to do with that one.

Speaker 3 (55:46):
I'm just tracking with you.

Speaker 4 (55:47):
Scott actually sent us a picture of the back of
a mini van and this bumper sticker. It's jignormous. It
takes up the whole back of the car and it says,
driver is old, hear your horn, can't see your finger?
Have a nice day.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
That's beautiful.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
Let's see from the uh this is actually GMBT show
at WBT dot com. That's the one I can keep
up with. Andrea says, I was having a really bad
day a few years ago and then noticed the car
in front of me had a bumper sticker that said
Jesus loves you. And that made me smile and I
felt a little better until I read the small print.
Everybody else still thinks you're a blank.

Speaker 4 (56:29):
Alvino sent us this one for Bernie. It says this
is for Bernie. The only good pack is a six pack.

Speaker 3 (56:37):
And this all started because we were talking about a
new study that says I forgot the study.

Speaker 4 (56:45):
Well, the study said something like that, road rage happens,
even road rage gets even more intense if the car
has a bumper sticker with an opposing political party. And
instead we flipped it on its rear, and we decided,
are there are there bumper stickers that absolutely change your mood?
Are there bumper stickers that you maybe were mad at

(57:05):
the driver, but then you read their bumper sticker and
it made you chuckle, So you thought, I'm going to
give them a path.

Speaker 3 (57:09):
Well, and to be more specific, I said that when
I pull into a parking lot and I see one
of those cars that has like eighty bumper stickers on it,
I go the other way. I don't want to engage.
And then we said, you know what, what's a bumper
sticker that you would have or maybe you've seen that
would make me want to walk up to that car
and either knock on the window or wait till they
came back to the car because I want to have

(57:31):
a discussion.

Speaker 7 (57:34):
I can't go back to my car. Some man is
just standing here.

Speaker 3 (57:36):
It's waiting for me.

Speaker 1 (57:37):
Very odd.

Speaker 4 (57:40):
It's all due to a bumper sticker. Bill sent, I
really really love this one. This one made my heart happy.
Bill said, my wife has one of those stickers that
says tell your dog. I said hi, And he said,
there are videos of people saying hi to their dogs
because they saw that sticker on someone's car. And I
think it's the sweetest thing in the world. That thrills

(58:01):
me that somebody's like, tell your dog. I said Hi.
Let's see m M said my favorite bumper sticker. I
feel like, I really do feel like I'm gonna have
all of these bumper stickers now in the back of
my car. My favorite bumper stickers is where are we going?
And why am I in this hand basket?

Speaker 3 (58:20):
You're gonna turn your car into the car that I avoid.
That's gonna go come park in the parking lot. I'm
gonna run.

Speaker 11 (58:29):
Dave.

Speaker 4 (58:31):
Dave's bumper sticker says, my other car is a piece
of blank two.

Speaker 3 (58:37):
Yeah, like you're talking the other day. The punctuation yes
comma two yes with to us.

Speaker 4 (58:43):
I really love this one. I learned to drive a
stick shift, and I am not gonna lie. It made
me nervous every single time I was at a stoplight
that was on a hill. Every time I was like,
oh man, I'm either gonna just stall it out or
I'm gonna roll backwards into the car behind me. And
this this is John John says, My daughter drives a

(59:04):
nineteen eighty nine Oldsmobile and it's a it's a Hers says,
no airbags. I'm gonna die like a real man.

Speaker 7 (59:11):
You gotta say that voice exactly.

Speaker 4 (59:14):
And then he says his son has. This is the
one that I love. His son has. We're on a hill,
I drive a stick Do you really want to be
this close?

Speaker 3 (59:25):
Our buddy Kenny Smith says, the best t Oh, he's
going to take it. This is going to be next
level now, best T shirt. Tank top says, if blank
were airplanes, this place would be an airport.

Speaker 4 (59:38):
Well, that one fits with the one Adam said. Adam says,
this is my favorite one that I've seen. This is
the bumper sticker you're a proctologist called he found your head? Like,
don't you feel like if that person was driving slowly
in front of you or maybe cut you off in
a you know, merging onto the highway or something, you'd

(59:59):
get on a past because you'd be like, yeah, I
like you, we'd be friends, we'd have a we probably
have a beer together at some point.

Speaker 3 (01:00:08):
There's one more here is it does our name on
this one? Here's Bow trying to use the text line again.
Oh Chris, he says, Chris here the bumper that's the
first line of the text Chris here.

Speaker 4 (01:00:18):
Well, god, he let us know who it is.

Speaker 3 (01:00:20):
I'm looking for his name. Chris here. The bumper sticker
said help. My dad farted them. We can't get out.

Speaker 7 (01:00:30):
That's a good one.

Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
I didn't see that.

Speaker 4 (01:00:33):
That feels totally like a weeny X.

Speaker 3 (01:00:35):
Oh oh yeah, my dad.

Speaker 4 (01:00:37):
Would totally do that and like lock the windows.

Speaker 7 (01:00:41):
He'll touch oven here. It's gonna be nice and toasty.

Speaker 4 (01:00:44):
I was gonna read another one, but I feel like
we have to end it there.

Speaker 3 (01:00:49):
Traffic check right now, Waneyac, I know strikes again.

Speaker 4 (01:00:53):
Oh I really want to get my dad that bumper sticker.

Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
Oh, I'm sure BUCkies has it.

Speaker 7 (01:01:00):
It just will make you tough.

Speaker 3 (01:01:02):
And if not, if not BUCkies, there are plenty of
wings near his house.

Speaker 7 (01:01:06):
Oh, boy, building up your hand about his son Hermit
Crab too.

Speaker 4 (01:01:09):
Remember last week when I was talking about Troutman bean
Burrito night, un locked.

Speaker 17 (01:01:16):
The windows, don't even don't even start.

Speaker 4 (01:01:18):
Oh oh, well that one, just that one threw me.
Chris Well played Chris for Sentina?

Speaker 3 (01:01:27):
What is his name? Chris here? Oh, I don't even
know what to do with that boomer. I'm passing the
baton to you, my friend.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
I'll catch you.

Speaker 3 (01:01:37):
Yeah. How many people to pass it? Almost?

Speaker 4 (01:01:40):
This is my question?

Speaker 3 (01:01:41):
Now?

Speaker 4 (01:01:41):
How many people are listening to us now looking causing
traffic jams, looking to read people's bumper stickers?

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
Right?

Speaker 8 (01:01:47):
Good morning, guys.

Speaker 12 (01:01:48):
Love letting me all every morning on the way to work.

Speaker 4 (01:01:50):
We love it here. It's like a carnival.

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
You gotta be proud.

Speaker 3 (01:01:54):
Oh yeah, that's the most fitting term ever for the show.
We're a carnival. The only way to become president is
to win the homecoming Carnival.

Speaker 1 (01:02:02):
This is Good Morning Beat.

Speaker 3 (01:02:04):
That's Ryan Arnold, and that's exactly what we're going to do. Oh,
we were so close. Steve was about to go over
to the mic and we was gonna say. I was
gonna say, hey, Bo Thompson back here on the show,
and Steve was gonna say, what were you gonna stay? Steve,
Beth's in the bathroom. He almost got his chance.

Speaker 4 (01:02:28):
I've had two gigantic bottles of water revenge.

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
You're new to the show. You're new to the show
one of our famous moments of last year.

Speaker 4 (01:02:40):
I didn't think this was odd. It did not seem
odd to me. It just seemed odd to everyone else.

Speaker 3 (01:02:46):
Yeah, Steve was out of the room one day and
so I answered the phone. Beth went over and answer
the phone. You and I are We do that every
once in a while.

Speaker 4 (01:02:53):
See tasks. We're not above answering.

Speaker 3 (01:02:55):
Phones, absolutely not. Although I would not say what you
said when you picked up the phone, said hey hey, Steve,
because callers a lot of times say hey, Steve, and
Best said, no, no, no, it's Beth Steve. He went to
the bathroom.

Speaker 4 (01:03:08):
Steve's in the bathroom. So I answer in the phone.
It didn't seem odd to me. It just apparently is
more of a private thing for most people.

Speaker 6 (01:03:16):
There's a book called Everybody Poops, So well, you know
it's out there, exactly exactly that's what was happening.

Speaker 7 (01:03:23):
Just that you know.

Speaker 3 (01:03:24):
Y'all know the motto of the show. We don't know.
We have microphones, gotta go, you gotta go. We just
talk and it gets picked up. And one day we said, hey,
apparently other people can hear us. Then you go out
in public and they say, oh, I remember that conversation.
What you were there?

Speaker 12 (01:03:38):
I know.

Speaker 4 (01:03:38):
And then they remind you of the of the of
all of the things that you have said. And I again,
I'm going to say this out loud. We have. We
were talking about a story last hour, a survey that
says that road rage gets worse when someone cuts you
off or is driving terribly. And they have a political
bumper sticker that for the opposed party to the driver

(01:04:01):
who is you know, being enraged, and you know, It's
so funny that they do studies like this to me,
that you could turn You can turn anything negative, right,
but why not turn it positive? What about the opposite?
What about the opposite? What about the bumper stickers that
change your mood that instead of making you angry, make
you happy? And oh my gosh, I have never been

(01:04:23):
so happy in my life? Can I read one more?

Speaker 3 (01:04:26):
Bo Yeah? I mean this has turned into a guard Day.

Speaker 4 (01:04:28):
Thousands, thousands of texts Charles this one. I love clever
ones and I also am a big old dork and
I know that y'all know this. I'm a dork. So
this one makes me smile just in my heart. Charles
sent this one. I was addicted to the hokey pokey,
but I turned myself around. It just makes my life.

Speaker 1 (01:04:51):
It's clever.

Speaker 7 (01:04:51):
It's a very bad bumper sticker, right, It's just clever.

Speaker 4 (01:04:55):
It's clever.

Speaker 3 (01:04:56):
Seven oh four five, seven oh eleven ten. The text
line driven by Liberty at GMC. We all also, of course,
had a lot of you have called as well.

Speaker 4 (01:05:05):
And we love hearing from you. I mean these, oh John,
Oh my gosh, guys. John just texted and said that
bathroom call was me, He said, I called about Goober
who was up for the part of Spock on Star Trek.
That is absolutely true. The guy who played Goober on

(01:05:25):
Dukes of Hazzard. John called that day to tell me
that the guy who played Goober was he was he
auditioned to be Spock on Star Trek.

Speaker 3 (01:05:33):
But why did he Why did you call to tell
you that?

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:05:36):
We must have been talking about Goober. Were we talking
about were talking about? We might? I mean, you never know,
you never know what.

Speaker 3 (01:05:41):
I don't know what we talked about last hour.

Speaker 13 (01:05:42):
I think there was at one point we got into
a whole Dukes of Hazzard conversation and about the car
and the horn. We were talking Dukes of Hazzard. Oh yeah,
I guess it was just kind of a riff on, like, oh,
speaking of Dukes of Hazzard.

Speaker 4 (01:05:55):
But John was out there listening. It was John that
I said, Hey, he's in the bathroom.

Speaker 13 (01:05:59):
Right And just for clarification, you John, there's only so
many bathrooms in this building, and there's a lot of
people in this building, and so sometimes you have to
go to like the opposite side of the building to
access a bathroom.

Speaker 8 (01:06:10):
During a commercial.

Speaker 4 (01:06:11):
Break or in the mornings. I'm pretty lucky because there
are not a lot of women around here. That's a
lot of men and me. And then we got Liz
down the hall. So the women's bathroom is usually pretty
wide open, but sometimes the dudes go in there and
and and and and do the dude's thing.

Speaker 3 (01:06:29):
Excuse me, I have business to take care of. H boy,
this one, this one's sort of a snowballed out of control.
We love those kinds of mornings. But I mentioned this
last hour because there's a study that says when you
see a car with a political bumper sticker on it,
it tends to make the road rage that much rageier.

Speaker 4 (01:06:51):
Right, and I so this is my question, why do
that study when you could do the study of when
when the bumper sticker changes things in a positive way
rather than a negative way, instead of road rage? What
makes you delighted? What makes you giggle? What makes you happy?
What changes your mood?

Speaker 3 (01:07:08):
You know, I'm surprised that they haven't come out with
a bumper sticker that you can change, like, you know,
you have digital billboards. Oh, you know, wouldn't it be
fun to have a digital like? Not necessarily I mean,
if you're really quippy, it'd be great because you could
change it every day. But like when you're riding down
the road and somebody's up on your bumper, you could
actually type something to respond to them.

Speaker 7 (01:07:26):
I would do that with a meme.

Speaker 3 (01:07:27):
I think you've got a business plan.

Speaker 13 (01:07:29):
I have a buddy who installed one of those, like
the red led boards in his rear window and had
like pre programmed six or seven your tail and stuff. Yeah,
a few of them I can't say on the air,
but had pre programmed like five or six of them,
and he could just hit a button from his driver's
seat and it would flash a message in his rear window.

Speaker 4 (01:07:52):
That is very passive aggressive.

Speaker 1 (01:07:54):
What was the one of it?

Speaker 3 (01:07:55):
What was your dad's one that we said? It would
have been his farted, Yeah, we kick get out here. Well, guys,
it's the waniac.

Speaker 4 (01:08:05):
We have to we'll have to end We'll end it
here because Mike just sent this text and he said, hey, Mike, here,
I saw a car yesterday that had two bumper stickers
on it. One said can y'all say the word? I
can't say the F word on the air. Yes, The
one said.

Speaker 3 (01:08:18):
That, thanks Ernie all right, just jump right in there.

Speaker 4 (01:08:21):
One bumper sticker said that and the other beside it said,
Jesus is the answer, right, A tale of two stickers.
And I wonder when the person bought that, were they
thinking about what proximity help people out?

Speaker 3 (01:08:37):
That's right?

Speaker 4 (01:08:38):
How people might read that, maybe they needed maybe they
needed some separation.

Speaker 3 (01:08:42):
Between the tape yin and the yank hey reminder coming
up at nine oh five, latest on the unc Belichick situation.
We're going to talk to the coach, Matt Doherty get
his thoughts on that at nine oh five, and Uh
Dolly Parton yes speaks out yes and she's okay because
we know because she said so. We'll let you hear

(01:09:02):
what she had to say. Plus more coming up on
Good Morning BT.

Speaker 1 (01:09:11):
Looking little.

Speaker 4 (01:09:17):
Getting by so taking us no.

Speaker 2 (01:09:20):
Give just use your mind then never give you credit.

Speaker 17 (01:09:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:09:30):
A lot of people out there have been worried about Dolly.

Speaker 4 (01:09:32):
Partners Yes, especially after her sister posted a couple of
days ago that to say prayers for her sister, Dolly.

Speaker 3 (01:09:39):
Dolly took to uh social media yesterday by way of
a video. I think she was about to do some
sort of commercial shoot for I don't know Dollywood or
Dollywood or a fidge and forge or that stuff. But anyway,
she has set the record straight. Essentially, rumors of her
demise grossly exaggerated. That's how I say.

Speaker 4 (01:10:02):
Yes, and she addresses it head on.

Speaker 8 (01:10:09):
What is it?

Speaker 4 (01:10:10):
The text? The text underneath the video was I'm not
dead yet.

Speaker 3 (01:10:15):
The words on the screen, I know.

Speaker 4 (01:10:16):
The words that she typed onto that screen.

Speaker 3 (01:10:18):
So if you've been worried about Dolly, here's what Dolly
has to say about that.

Speaker 15 (01:10:22):
I wanted to say, I know lately everybody thinks that
I am sicker than I am.

Speaker 1 (01:10:28):
Do I look sick to you?

Speaker 15 (01:10:30):
I'm working hard here anyway. I wanted to put everybody's
mind at ease. Those of you that seemed to be
real concern, which I appreciate, and I appreciate your prayers.
Because I'm a person of faith, I can always use
the prayers for anything and everything. But I want you
to know that I'm okay. I've got some problems. As

(01:10:51):
I mentioned back when my husband Carl was very sick.
That was for a long time, and then when he passed,
I didn't take care of myself, so I let a
lot of things go that I should have been taken
care of. So anyway, when I got around to it,
the doctor said, we need to take care of this,
we need to take care of that. Nothing major, but

(01:11:12):
I did have to cancel some things so I could
be closer to home, closer to Vanderbilt, you know where
I'm kind of having a few treatments here and there.
But I wanted you to know that I'm not dying.
Did you see that those that AI picture of reband me?
Oh lordie, I mean they had Reba at my deathbed

(01:11:33):
and we both looked like we need to be buried.
But I thought, oh my lord, but if I was
really dying, I don't think Reeba would be the one
at my deathbed. She might come visit me earlier. But anyway,
there are just a lot of rumors flying around. But

(01:11:53):
I figured if you heard it from me, you'd know
that I was okay. So anyhow, that's what I wanted
to say. And I'm not ready to die yet. I
don't think God is through with me and I ain't
done work it. So I love you for caring and
keep part for me.

Speaker 3 (01:12:11):
I think they are about thirteen country songs.

Speaker 4 (01:12:14):
In that I did not see the AI image that
she is referring to. But then if you look for it,
you can find it. She probably just in that announcement,
made that particular image end up going viral. But I
just love Dolly Parton. Can we just talk about Dolly Parton?
I just love her. Isn't she just the sweetest, sweetest person.

Speaker 3 (01:12:37):
Dolly has some of the same personality traits that you do.
And I mean that in a very very complimentary way.
She makes you feel like you know her and you've
always known her. And I have never been anywhere near
Dolly Parton, but you listen to Dolly talk and you
realize why she is so popular, just and she's sort
of popular across all demos, as we say in the

(01:12:59):
inner biz. I mean, she's been a country star, she's
teamed up with rock and roll people, she's been a
movie star.

Speaker 11 (01:13:05):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:13:05):
She comes into town here and sells out Oven's Auditorium
and probably could sell out the Spectrum Center if she
wanted to.

Speaker 4 (01:13:10):
And gives books to kids, gives books to kids, encourages
reading for young people. That is one of my favorite
favorite things. And I mean, my goodness, Dolly would yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:13:21):
And she's a savvy, savvy business woman. And one of
the most successful business women of all time. You look
at all the things that she presides over, and like
I said, the movie career, the music career, and yet
she sounds like everybody's next door neighbor.

Speaker 12 (01:13:37):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:13:37):
She sounds like you could just go to her house
for Sunday dinner and she'd have a whole mess of
fried chicken and country style steak ready for you.

Speaker 3 (01:13:43):
In the Great Smoky Mountains, right, that's right.

Speaker 4 (01:13:46):
But I'm glad that she's okay. Because the sisters text
a couple of days ago, coupled with the fact that
she did postpone and you know, cancel those her residency
in Las Vegas, we were all worried about her. We
were all worried about her and the fact that she
took to and she looked great, by the way in
the video, like as spunky as ever. I can't I hope,

(01:14:07):
I hope when I'm her age, I'm that spunky.

Speaker 3 (01:14:08):
And I don't know I have no idea how many
takes that took, but I'm just assuming that it was one,
because that's how I mean. She just seems like that
down to earth and that reel like come here, hit
the camera I got a few danxious sets.

Speaker 4 (01:14:20):
Some things I want to say, I need to get
off my chest.

Speaker 3 (01:14:23):
So there, that was a great Dolly bo I enjoyed.

Speaker 7 (01:14:27):
Bo's got some things to get off the chest. Oh
my gosh, such dudes.

Speaker 3 (01:14:34):
Hey, it's one of the first jokes anybody told me
in Grade Square.

Speaker 7 (01:14:37):
Very nice lady.

Speaker 3 (01:14:38):
I won't tell you the joke, but the fellows know
what I'm talking about. Traffic check right now, Boomer vine
can if you know what I mean. I knew Boomer
was there for me.

Speaker 4 (01:14:48):
That even took me a second. I didn't even get
I didn't even understand why Bow was chuckling.

Speaker 3 (01:14:53):
Oh well now you know.

Speaker 11 (01:14:57):
Forever.

Speaker 3 (01:14:57):
Now you will know.

Speaker 1 (01:15:00):
She will not sneak up on it.

Speaker 3 (01:15:01):
Let me put it that way.

Speaker 17 (01:15:03):
It was a nice lady, too good gosh, what a
nice lady she really is has been throughout the years.

Speaker 3 (01:15:09):
That's so bad they want to tell the joke that
because because this is about Dolly, we thought we thought
Dolly was in bad shape, and she actually sort of
elluded right there that she still was having some trouble.
So hopefully she pulls through this. But I'm glad we
played that because, as she said, I'm still here.

Speaker 4 (01:15:27):
Well, and it sounds like she said some minor procedures,
they weren't major, major things.

Speaker 3 (01:15:33):
Yeah, I mean it was. It was. It was the
ultimate like first grade on the playground joke. So probably
the first joke I have ever somebody ever told me.
But again, if you know.

Speaker 1 (01:15:42):
You know, this is good morning beat.

Speaker 3 (01:15:47):
All right. Coming up at nine oh five, we'll check
in with coach Matt Doherty get his take on what's
happening with the current football coach at North Carolina Turmoil
to say that the least in Chapel Hill.

Speaker 4 (01:15:59):
Well, and he was a little something about being a
coach at Carolina.

Speaker 3 (01:16:02):
He absolutely does. So he'll join us at nine oh five.
In the meantime, President Trump big story last night. You
probably heard about this as you were head to bed
or heard that it was in the works, and it
is Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase,
they say, of a plan to end the war in Gaza.
President Trump announcing this late yesterday. Both parties have acknowledged

(01:16:24):
that a deal has been reached. And then President Trump
last night was on with Sean Hannity. That was the
first place that he talked to anybody in long form
about what was on the table. And so this is
a bit of President Trump explaining how things have come together.

Speaker 12 (01:16:40):
Here tremendous help as you know, with everybody from Seve
Witcoff and Jared Kushner and Marco and we had everybody, JD.
The whole group was just amazing. And the military was,
as you know, very instrumental in getting this done. We
have a great military with great leadership. The whole world

(01:17:01):
came together, to be honest, so many countries that you
wouldn't have even thought of it, they came together. The
world has come together around this deal, and that's something
I would say that without that, it wouldn't happen. So
many countries that you wouldn't have thought of have wired
their best wishes and their commitment to do whatever is necessary.

(01:17:22):
The country surrounding of all signed. I mean, they're all
signed up. And it's been really an amazing period of
time and so great for Israel, so great for Muslims,
for the Arab countries, and so great for this country,
for the United States of America, and that we could
be involved in, you know, making a deal like this

(01:17:45):
happened because it was you know, many years they talked
about peace in the Middle East. This is more than Gaza.
This is peace in the Middle East, and it's been incredible.

Speaker 3 (01:17:53):
And again phase one of this plan, which stands to
reason that we're going to hear the plan for the
next part of this. President Trump later and an interview,
talked about what he sees happening in the near future.

Speaker 11 (01:18:06):
I think you're going to.

Speaker 12 (01:18:07):
See people getting along, and you'll see gads are being rebuilt.
We're forming a council that the Council of Peace. We
think it's going to be called, and it's going to
be very powerful, and it's going to really, I think
to a large extent, it's going to have a lot
to do with the whole Gaza situation. People are going

(01:18:27):
to be taken care of. It's going to be a
different world.

Speaker 11 (01:18:30):
I think.

Speaker 12 (01:18:31):
Really the Middle East came together amazingly, they came together.
You know, they have some countries with extraordinary wealth and
just spending a small portion of that wealth can do
so much for that area. So will we'll be involved
in it. But the big the big thing is hostages
are going to be released. It's probably our time would

(01:18:52):
be probably Monday, and you know, it's it's they're terribly
a terrible situation. They're they're deep, they're deep in the earth,
and they're being gotten. And a lot of things are
happening right now as we speak. So much is happening
to get the hostages freed, and we think they'll all
be coming back on Monday. So it looks like that's

(01:19:16):
the thing, and that'll include the bodies of the dead.
And you know the parents, the parents that we're I
talked to so many of them, but the parents are
more almost more intent, but equally intent is getting there.
In just about all cases, the sun their son's body
back than they are as though the young man was alive.

(01:19:39):
It's just the same intensity they want. They want their
baby's body back. That's what one woman said. I want
my baby's body back. And you know, the sun is
twenty five, twenty six years old. So that's a very
big part of it. Getting all of the it's about
twenty eight. The number is twenty eight will be coming back. Fortunately.

Speaker 3 (01:20:00):
Did that's President Trump on with Sean Hannity last night,
shortly after this plan, this deal had been announced. We
can also tell you that an an Israeli spokesperson saying
that part one of the deal has been signed, and
we believe or we know also that at eleven am
today President Trump is going to hold a cabinet meeting,

(01:20:21):
so we should learn more from him and his team that,
as he said, there were so many of them instrumental
in putting this historic deal together well.

Speaker 4 (01:20:30):
And he says that he plans to travel to Egypt
and part of his team who were there in Egypt,
Jared Kushner and obviously his son in law was there
to have these discussions and to start these discussions. But
this will quite frankly be something that I do believe
that this administration will be remembered for. Yesterday, Christian Amampur

(01:20:56):
is probably one of my favorite kind of long form
journalists as fantastic deep form interviews, and she was talking
to an Israeli journalist about this new piece deal, and
that journalist, that Israeli journalist was saying that the rebuild
is going to be that something that's quite complicated, because
that journalist believes that the Gaza strip looks more damage

(01:21:20):
than the Nagasaki even looked. And those are the words
of that that Israeli journalist.

Speaker 3 (01:21:24):
When we come back, David Shadwick is off today. He
is not with us, but we're going to talk to
another Tar Heel and a guy who knows what it's
like to be a coach at North Carolina, albeit a
different sport, and a player for that matter. Matt Doherty
will join us after the news to weigh in on
what's going on in Chapel Hill with Bill Belichick, and
nobody seems to really know for sure, all right, ladies.

Speaker 1 (01:21:47):
So gentle them a live here in sermon from News
Talkie eleven ten and ninety nine three double e BT.

Speaker 12 (01:21:53):
Strange things are a foot at the circle case.

Speaker 1 (01:21:56):
This is good Morning Beat with Bo Thompson at bed Trout.
But watch me for the changes and try to keep up.

Speaker 3 (01:22:02):
Okay right now, boy, lots of action in Chapel Hill
on the field, the tar Hill has lost big time
to Clemson over the weekend, and off the field, lots
of discussions and questions going on too, surrounding the North
Carolina football program with Bill Belichick at the Helm. Wral's

(01:22:27):
Pat Welter in Raleigh broke a story earlier this week
about things going on behind the scenes, according to his sources.
Before we get to our next guest's remind you where
we are with the story right now, back to Pat Welter.

Speaker 9 (01:22:40):
We reported in our investigation Monday, citing nearly a dozen sources,
that Bill Belichick's coaching and culture has led to a
divided locker room. Now multiple sources have shared with me
that there was a fight in the locker room just yesterday.
A lot of Carolina's internal issues the result of an
individualistic culture, according to sources, and a locker room divided
Mac Brown era players versus Belichick recruits. According to sources,

(01:23:04):
Belichick recruits have received preferential treatment. One player repeatedly named
by sources as cornerback Thattius Dixon. According to sources, Dixon
potentially out for the season after an injury he suffered
in the Clemson game. U and C has not confirmed
his status, and the team isn't required to file an
injury report until next week. Meanwhile, cornerbacks coach Armand Hawkins

(01:23:24):
was suspended Tuesday, according to The Athletic, which is owned
by The New York Times, for benefits allegations which came
to light from wril's investigation. But sources tell us that
players were told in a meeting Tuesday that Hawkins would
mispractice for personal business.

Speaker 3 (01:23:37):
That's again Pat Welch WRL. You should also know that
joint statements were released last night, one from Bill Belichick,
the head coach, and one from Bubba Cunningham. Belichick's statement
one sentence it says, I'm fully committed to UNC football
and the program we're building here. Cunningham's was Coach Belichick
has the full support of the Department of Athletics and

(01:24:00):
the university. And so with that, we bring on one
of our favorite tar Heels, somebody that you hear a
lot on the station, especially with Brett Winnable in the afternoon.
And of course he's still coaching out there Doherty Coaching
dot Com. But we know him, of course first and
foremost as the former national champion and then head coach
of the tar Heels in later years. Matt Doherty is

(01:24:22):
back with US coach. Hope you're doing okay.

Speaker 8 (01:24:25):
I'm doing great. Yeah, I'm doing great. I'm not sitting
in Bill Belichick's seat, so I'm doing really well.

Speaker 1 (01:24:33):
Well.

Speaker 4 (01:24:33):
Now, look, you have been a coach at Carolina as
you have been seeing these stories about Bill Belichick. What
has your first impression been.

Speaker 8 (01:24:42):
Yeah, I think a couple of things. One, you know,
what do you expect? Like, what do we expect? We
hired an NFL coach and he's transitioned to college my assumption,
and I think most of his staff have not been
in college. He's got seventy new players because of the

(01:25:05):
transfer portal, they are not flushed with NFL talent. So
what do we expect? Do we expect him to be
what five and zero? You know, like, that's kind of ridiculous.
The expectations were through the freaking roof. And you look
back Mac Brown in his first stint at North Carolina

(01:25:27):
one in ten and one in ten and ended up
in the top ten a few years later. So you
can't make chicken salad at a chicken, you know what.
And so I think that the expectations now more than ever.
You know, it's a microwave society, you know.

Speaker 11 (01:25:44):
We we buy it, we put.

Speaker 8 (01:25:46):
It in the microwave, and we expect in two and
a half minutes for it to be hot and ready
to eat. That's not the way you build organizations, especially
football teams with rosters in excess of you know, eighty players.

Speaker 3 (01:26:00):
So there are a number of stories floating around about
this Ali Connolly had a lengthy thread on X yesterday
that's been picked up by a lot of national outlets
and reputable ones, But he says, per sources, Bill Belichick
has discussed buyout options with North Carolina's hierarchy. Hierarchy, he
signaled a willingness to trigger his own one million dollar

(01:26:22):
buyout if he can find a soft landing with another
team or in the media. We were also playing a
report earlier about how that legally they're exploring options about
whether Bill Belichick could be fired for calls based on
some of these you know, behind the scenes allegations. So
you know, I don't think anybody expected Bill Belichick to,

(01:26:42):
you know, win the National Championship coming out of the gate.
But it's one thing to talk about the things going
on on the field, but the off the field stuff
like do you do you feel like this could be
as serious as it is, meaning that maybe he won't
be around for the whole season.

Speaker 8 (01:26:58):
You know, that's all. I don't know who Ali is,
but there's always people like that floating around the program,
stirring things up, and there's probably some truth to it.
So I think a couple things. This all comes down
the leadership, and that's why I do what I do
now as an executive coach. College athletics are family run businesses,

(01:27:23):
and many family run businesses are dysfunctional. And this all
started because some boosters apparently didn't end around no pun
intended on a Bubba Cunningham and brought Bill Belichick in,
and you know, because they thought it was best. So leadership,
there's a lack of alignment between the boosters and the administration,

(01:27:47):
so no trust, they don't stay in their lanes ego pride,
and that goes on in business. But athletic departments, especially
at places like University of North Carolina with long traditions
the family run businesses, and I had to deal with that,
you know, you know, following Dean Smith and Bill Guthridge.
So and then the second thing. So, so, okay, they

(01:28:10):
hired Bill Belichick. He's here now. Now it comes down
to leadership internally to Bill Belichick, who's never been a
college football coach. You know, his staff comes in and
I think most of them came from the NFL. He's
got the girlfriend distraction. He has always been gruff. He's

(01:28:30):
always been a little bit controlling, and so I am
surprised to hear that internally that he is not doing
a better job there. However, that's the NFL mentality, Like
the best players get paid the mouse money. So Tom
Brady was treated differently than another player, and you know,

(01:28:54):
and in college locker room they're not used to that
as much. And that's a level of that. But it
comes down to communication and leadership.

Speaker 3 (01:29:03):
And.

Speaker 8 (01:29:04):
It's just a bad It was a bad fit all around.
And I go back to the leadership and alignment from
the boosters to the administration. But we're here now, we're here,
So what do we do? You support the man till
you can't, all right? You support him, You support him,
you support him, and then it reaches a tipping point
and you don't support him, and will there be a buyout?

(01:29:28):
Who knows. But the only thing you can control as
a coach, and I've been there is today's practice. What
do you do today? And I think Bill Belichick is
more you know this, this has come up. Nick Saban
talked about it recently. Phil Jackson has talked about it.
They are transactional coaches and transformational coaches, and I think

(01:29:49):
that Bill Belichick is a transactional coach. Okay, more of
the NFL style in college. You need to be transformational,
even though these players are like NFL players because they're
getting played paid and they're transferring. Transformational leadership lasts longer,
you know. And I wasn't great at that when I

(01:30:10):
was coaching at North Carolina, and I think I've learned
to be better. But you want to be a transformational coach.
Dean Smith was certainly a transformational coach because he coached
the whole person, not just the athlete.

Speaker 4 (01:30:22):
See this is why we love you so much. That
is such a fantastic assessment of what's going on here.
And it's also one of the really cool things about
you is you took that experience at you and C
and you looked in the mirror, you turned the mirror
on yourself, and you just said, you know, you could
have done something differently to be a more transformational coach
when you were there. And I think that that says

(01:30:44):
everything about the kind of human you are. How do
you think or could you train a Bill Belichick to
turn that mirror on himself and become a more transformational coach?
Or is this a he was in the NFL for
so long that you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Speaker 3 (01:31:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:31:01):
Well, there's two kinds of people that you work with
as an executive coach, fixed mindset and growth mindset, and
I would hope that he would be growth mindset. And
it was pretty cool to hear Nick Saban talk about
it on game day when he was at Michigan State.
Your life impacted by three things. The people you meet,

(01:31:23):
the books you're reading, the trauma in your life. And
this experience is traumatic. You know, for Bill Belichick, you
could say, oh, he's rich, he doesn't need it, he's insulated.
You know, he's still, whether you believe it or not,
probably has some feelings right, and you know this has
shaken him a little bit. So you know, if you

(01:31:44):
hit that point, are you going to embrace change and
try to grow from it and learn from it? Again
in the microwave society, he might not have time to
make that adjustment because it just can be an overwhelming
sentiment that it would be tough to do that in whatever,

(01:32:07):
you know, five or six games he has left.

Speaker 3 (01:32:09):
Yeah, well you kind of led me to my last question,
and you talked about what Bill Belichick can do as
a coach right now day to day. But can you
imagine a scenario where Belichick doesn't finish the season at Carolina?
Do you think that that's a possibility here?

Speaker 8 (01:32:25):
Oh gosh, you know what Jordan of you know, any
major NCAA violation or transgression. I think that from a
pride and ego and a commitment that he should finish

(01:32:46):
out the year, you know, And you know, maybe at
the end of the season, at the end of every season,
you reevaluate and listen, maybe it's not a great fit.
I don't think it was a great fit from the beginning,
but maybe he's come to that realization. But I think
that reflection should be done after their last game and

(01:33:09):
then make a decision. You know, did I make a
mistake here? He's human, like we want to we want to,
you know, put these people as robots and machines. You know,
he made this move. I remember making a move to FAU.
I go from North Carolina head coach at North Carolina
National Coach of the Year to four or five years later,

(01:33:30):
I'm the head coach at FAU and I remember thinking
about quitting after two months on the job, and my
wife wouldn't let me. She didn't want me. She said,
you can't do that to your assistance. I'm really powerful.
I was going through depression and just like you know,
the the the the impact of what happened to me

(01:33:51):
at North Carolina finally hit me when I was taking
on this job where I didn't have the resources and
that I was used to and so you know, that
was traumatic. But I got through it and we had
a great season and I really enjoyed coaching. So it
takes time, and the self evaluation is important. The most

(01:34:14):
important thing a leader can know is himself, and you
know you need people around you to be truth tellers.
Is that I hate to say it, is that Jordan
is his girlfriend.

Speaker 4 (01:34:29):
Yeah, she's not quite your wife, you know, like not
quite your wife with that wisdom of it fi, the.

Speaker 8 (01:34:35):
Worldly experience that's twenty four years old that my wife had.

Speaker 3 (01:34:38):
Maybe it's the other Jordan that he needs to talk
to you, maybe, Michael.

Speaker 1 (01:34:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:34:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:34:43):
So there's a great quote that I thought of last
night and I was talking to my son and my wife.
You know, Victory has many fathers, but defeat is an
orphan and that's a line from John F. Kennedy. And
you know that first game, it was over the top
lt MJ. You know National TV. They go down for first,

(01:35:09):
first possession score touchdown and they think they like people
thinking like, oh my gosh, now fans are leaving before
halftime of the game.

Speaker 1 (01:35:17):
Yeah, I mean, what is it?

Speaker 8 (01:35:20):
What is it? Is it? Is it? Is it the
first half of PCU or is it the first half
of Clemson.

Speaker 3 (01:35:26):
It's amazing the extremes that we're seeing here.

Speaker 8 (01:35:28):
Yeah, yeah, yes, it's really It's like he he didn't
set those expectations, right, He's just trying to coach football.

Speaker 4 (01:35:37):
Right, He's just existing in them.

Speaker 8 (01:35:38):
You want to coach football?

Speaker 3 (01:35:40):
Well, And I think we talked to you about this
when they made the higher about uh, North Carolina is
going to be relevant no matter what from a from
the standpoint of of of interest, and that all came
with it, but I don't think many people anticipated the
other intangibles that have come with it to make it
interesting too. It's uh, it's some of the stuff. You

(01:36:00):
could never have made this stuff up to go into it.
But look, we've kept you a long time. You have
been very very candid and frank and I appreciate your perspective,
especially with what you've been through yourself. And we direct
people to Dorty coaching dot com executive coaching workshops keynotes.
Coach Matt Doherty is still out there every day doing
great things, and we always appreciate you letting us pick

(01:36:22):
your brain from time to time.

Speaker 8 (01:36:24):
Well, that doesn't take long to pick my brain. By
the way. By the way, I'm in the car with
my wife this morning and listening to you all and
talking about bumper stickers. Okay, and we're at a red
light and I've never seen this bumper sticker before. But
the car in front of me, the bumper sticker it

(01:36:45):
says or reads tell your dog.

Speaker 11 (01:36:48):
I said, Hi, yes, I believe it.

Speaker 3 (01:36:53):
See, not only did you come home with twenty minutes
with us, you were listening last hour too. Man, you're
the best coach we appreciate.

Speaker 4 (01:37:00):
I love it.

Speaker 8 (01:37:00):
Matt, all right, tell your dogs, I said, hello, Yes, sir.

Speaker 3 (01:37:05):
We are in the business of telling people what's going on, right,
That's what we live for. You get a charge out
of it. That's why I brought you into this mix,
because you enjoyed as much as I do.

Speaker 4 (01:37:14):
We always love these conversations because we get all sides.

Speaker 3 (01:37:17):
We love to get up in the morning and tell
you here's what's happening. You missed this last night or
do you know this? We want you to know now
what you do with that is your business. And uh
I'm here to tell you good morning, BT. Business is good.

Speaker 1 (01:37:32):
This is good morning beat all.

Speaker 7 (01:37:34):
Right, now, go on get out of here.

Speaker 1 (01:37:36):
You messing on my business. Biggest vile.

Speaker 3 (01:37:43):
Yeah, bumper stickers big and bring your box money. Ah,
this doesn't cost anything though, to tell us the best
bumper sticker you've seen riding down the road.

Speaker 4 (01:38:00):
Now. Look, we started this conversation early in the show
today because there was a study. And I don't know
who puts together these studies. I'm like, why why are
they studying? They studied how bumper stickers are impacting road rage,
that political bumper stickers are making road rage worse. So
we thought we'd flip it on its head. Why not
study how many bumper stickers make your day better? How

(01:38:23):
many bumper stickers make you giggle? Or maybe even if
the person in front of you was not a great driver,
maybe even you gave them a pass because their bumper
sticker was funny.

Speaker 3 (01:38:32):
By the way, I just posted on x at bo
Thompson WBT the famous WBT bumper sticker that I always
come back to. Rush is right after John Hancock on
WBT that was back in the day. Hang on second
pier Rush all right, so seven oh four, five, seven

(01:38:57):
oh eleven ten, he's driven by liberty view of GMC.
We're gonna do the speed round here and finish out
the show today with all of the bumper sticker suggestions
that you've sent us. Since we moved on.

Speaker 4 (01:39:09):
To another top, we have gotten hundreds and hundreds and
hundreds of the a's. Mike sent us a text that said,
I saw this one and I'm sorry this one. Maybe
giggle out loud. That's not the bumper sticker. This is
the bumper sticker. A button on my car says push
for rear wiper, but I've been too scared to try it.
Ritchie of our contest fame day before.

Speaker 3 (01:39:33):
Yesterday, boy yourself.

Speaker 4 (01:39:35):
Ritchie said I saw on a car quote I'm so gay,
I can't even drive straight. Oh wow, And he said
it was in rainbow colors. I'm sorry, but I love
that person. I think that's a perfect, remarkable bumper sticker.
And it's especially fitting that Richie is the one who
told us about that bumper sticker. If you know you know,

(01:39:58):
if you know Richie, you know Richie. Deborah Debra sent
us a message that said, I've had a Chris Farley
Matt Foley bumper sticker on the back of my van
for the past ten years. It's my van down by
the river. If I had a van, I would totally
put that on the back of a van. This one,

(01:40:20):
the person didn't leave a name, but took a picture
of a bumper sticker that was in front of him
or her that says, annoy a liberal work, succeed be happy.

Speaker 3 (01:40:30):
Well and again, just for those of you who didn't
understand the context of the Hancock one. So when Hancock
first started working here, Hancock actually did this shift, or
part of it, he did early in mid mornings. I
think was at the beginning for Hancock, it was like
ten to one. But at any rate, when Hancock first
got on the air, a listener made him a bumper

(01:40:50):
sticker that said rush is right and big bold letters,
and then underneath it, as you pulled up to the bumper,
it said after John Hancock on WBT, and I acted
the one I posted as the one that the listener made,
which was green and white, and then WBT liked it
so much they actually made their own version with the
station logo and everything, and then they used to pass
that out day as in, we used to pass it

(01:41:12):
out at events. But that was a bumper sticker that
was made by a listener originally, so I just thought
that was cool.

Speaker 4 (01:41:18):
I think that's really cool. Charles us a Senna, say
a bumper sticker that says hot girls hit curbs with
all the girls.

Speaker 3 (01:41:32):
I guess.

Speaker 4 (01:41:34):
You know what, that's a really good that's a really
good bumper sticker.

Speaker 3 (01:41:37):
Seven oh four, five, seven oh eleven ten. We've gotten
so many of these today, and here's what's going to happen.
We're gonna get so many more between now and tomorrow.
We may just have to make this a recurring thing.

Speaker 4 (01:41:46):
I know, show me your bumper sticker, which leads me
to this one, which I have to spell this one
out and I have to I have to give context.
But this is another picture that someone sent us from
a car, and it's about pit bulls, and it's a
picture of a pit bull. Can I say this one?

Speaker 6 (01:42:01):
I don't know, probably not not say an actual word,
but people will know what you mean.

Speaker 4 (01:42:06):
What I mean, but they're meaning show me your pit.

Speaker 3 (01:42:08):
Bulls, but it's another word.

Speaker 4 (01:42:10):
But it's a nickname for pit bulls, so it does
sound kind of bad. I'm not going to read it.
I just it's one of those.

Speaker 3 (01:42:16):
You know, at nine six and twenty two seconds, we
have realized what our threshold is.

Speaker 4 (01:42:22):
Beth finally grew a filter and it had to do
with pit bulls. But you know how some people call pitts, yes,
they call them. No, I can't even say that.

Speaker 3 (01:42:34):
You're going to try to do it?

Speaker 4 (01:42:35):
I was I was going to try to do that.

Speaker 3 (01:42:37):
Oh wow, well you have about you have about forty
five seconds.

Speaker 4 (01:42:40):
I know there are so many words I can't say
on the on the air.

Speaker 3 (01:42:44):
I mean, we talked about the butthole surfers, so yeah,
Jack marked there. You know we were going to do
this segment to talk about Taylor Swift's news song called Wood.

Speaker 4 (01:42:53):
Oh no, see, I can't even say that. Roland sent
us a bumper sticker. I love this one. Why why
are you mad? If you left earlier, you would be
in front of me and last, but not least, the
best bumper sticker picture of the day. Be aware or
not be aware? Beware of the idiot behind me.

Speaker 3 (01:43:19):
Wow, Wow, this has just just become a thing. Be
right next to tell us something good. Yeah, tell us
your bumper sticks. Tell us your bumper sticker, or I'm
glad you said it earlier. Show us your bumper sticker.
That's all that's our Brad and Richard on Spiders and
Grants used to do it. They didn't show us your.

Speaker 4 (01:43:36):
Snow, well, show us your bumper sticker.

Speaker 3 (01:43:38):
Paul Harvey used to call them bumper snickers.

Speaker 4 (01:43:41):
Oh see, if they're funny, that's perfect. Yeah, a little
bumper snicker.

Speaker 3 (01:43:45):
All right, you got like ten seconds? Are you going
to say it?

Speaker 17 (01:43:47):
Or no?

Speaker 11 (01:43:47):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:43:48):
Okay? All right, good talk best, good talk.

Speaker 1 (01:43:50):
Bom you get to kiss you.
