Speaker 1 (00:05):
Other and I try to make the best foot.

In night Man from Mes Talk eleven ten and ninety

and that's my greatest strength.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
This is good Morning Beauty with both Thompson and Beth
troutsing before, so.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Standing your head less?

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Where do WA go?

Speaker 4 (00:40):
If you leave mail? Where do I turn mail?

Speaker 3 (00:47):
Even don't work out?

Speaker 5 (00:52):
As far as I can see, this season away and you.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Sat in.

Speaker 6 (01:14):
Mount can't go wrong with a little heart start your day.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
Like they say, you gotta have heart pace love as
you know.

Speaker 6 (01:44):
It's funny that win they did. Now it's funny that
your song is stranded because I was telling the guys
before you got here. I had to be taken to
work today. I did not drive to work today.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Well, I pulled in and I didn't see your car.
I got nervous.

Speaker 6 (02:02):
My wife's car is in the shop, and so she
took me along with the dogs. But I hear this,
and I'm going to have to go to the circle
like the carpool line when the show's over and be
picked up today.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
It'll be like school.

Speaker 6 (02:16):
So so I hope my wife doesn't leave me stranded.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
I can always I could always give you a ride though,
I can take you home. I know where you.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Live, I know.

Speaker 6 (02:27):
I mean if I had to go to that, I've
even ubert home before.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
You know, you have all these friends here, you have
a license.

Speaker 6 (02:34):
I don't want to be I don't want to impose
on you guys. You guys have to be with me
for four hours straight to day.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
You know you have like a door dash home or something.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
You know what the real thing is, Guys, I think
I don't think he likes to be with us in
a car.

Speaker 6 (02:44):
No, I go the extra time. That's wrong because when
you uber, you have to make awkward conversation with somebody
you don't know.

Speaker 7 (02:51):
But what if we got you a limo and then
you had the partition Bertie.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
I mean, you know we could just get you a rose.

Speaker 7 (02:57):
That's right, we do know somebody.

Speaker 6 (02:58):
Yeah, anyway, good song.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
Hey.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
I just was informed by sir sir oh there was
the key change by Sir Stephen of Anthony that this
is number thirty six on our Spotify playlist far the
rankings or the number of the thirty six song we've
added to.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
The number thirty six.

Speaker 6 (03:18):
It's hard Mark Muller was here. It's number thirty six
on my chart, but it's it's got a bullet beside it.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Actually Wilson's sisters.

Speaker 8 (03:26):
What's hit me?

Speaker 4 (03:27):
I kind of want I kind of want someone to
go into the Spotify list and rank them as if
they were a top forty.

Speaker 6 (03:34):
Well, I'm sure he would if we called him and asked.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Him to let's call him.

Speaker 7 (03:37):
Oh, I love Mark Muller, So what's he doing?

Speaker 6 (03:40):
Good? Time to tell you that one of the new
things about the best song of the day. First of all,
if you're new to the show, thanks for being with us.
I'm bo She's Beth, got the Zoke, got Steve and
Bernie and the gang in the other room, which is
Mark Garrison of course, the legendary Boomer von Cannon. But
every day we start the show off with the song
that Beth woke up to in her head, because we

(04:02):
realized soon after Beth joined the show many years ago,
that she has this superpower. She wakes up and there's
a song there every single day.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
And it's been my whole life as far as I know.

Speaker 6 (04:13):
Now you've been doing this long enough that there are
occasional repeats, but not often. I mean, it's a pretty
good it's a better variety of the sixties, seventies, eighties,
nineties and today with pure commercial in her.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Well, every now and again a commercial will interrupt and
infiltrate my brain. You have Guardians commercial theme.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
I'm still mad at you for the Juardians one.

Speaker 6 (04:33):
So what we sweet about? What two years ago we
started coming out of the gate with the song. Kind
of makes it easy, you know, not to think hard.
You say, Beth, what's your song? She tells me, and
there it is. Today it was heart. But then about
a month ago or so, we said, you know what,
we should make this into a Spotify playlist so people
can actually hear the song and they can walk around
and pretend like they're in your head.

Speaker 8 (04:54):
Right.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
It's a good way of documenting it too, like like
a little diary of like what you've put out there
trying to remember.

Speaker 6 (05:01):
So, now, if you go on Spotify, what's the name
of it? The song? Is it Beth song of the Day?

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Very interesting name are.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
Death song of the Day and if you can't find it,
you can text us on the text line seven oh
four five, seven oh eleven ten, and Steve will send
you a link on.

Speaker 7 (05:14):
Thirty six songs, a nice little Saturday sound truck.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
Yeah, and Spotify then spits out other songs like recommended songs. Right,
it populates up if you have time, if you have
that Saturday.

Speaker 6 (05:25):
But I will tell you the other thing that it does.
It is the gift that keeps on given. Because how
many songs? Thirty six is that you said? So thirty six.
We've been doing it for thirty six days, so over
a month, now, yeh that's cool. Thirty six days. And then,
as Spotify will do when you're done with the list,
if you get to number thirty seven, you say, okay,
well give me songs that you think I would like
based on this playlist, which is a tough task because

(05:47):
it's you know, you never know what it's going to be.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
I hope ethel Merman pops up in there. I hope
a little, uh a little. Actually, I hope a lot
of Sarah burrells.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Oh, there's will be a lot of Sarah Burrows.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
If you click on that, that's there. It's a tool.
You know, you have the show, and then you have
the extension of the show. You know, the seventeenth segment
is an extension of the show. We do things that
can give you more of the show if you can't
get it all done in four.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
Hours, which by the way, we haven't. We haven't forgotten
about the seventeenth segment. We've just been going with some
tech upgrades, some tech stuff.

Speaker 6 (06:21):
It's a massive upgrade, let me tell you. Yeah, because
we don't know, we still don't know when it's coming back,
but it is coming back.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
It will absolutely absolutely come back.

Speaker 6 (06:31):
So if you want to catch up on those episodes,
those are available on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts,
and we are what eight episodes in I think eight Yeah,
So there you go, six thirteen. On News Talk eleven
ten WBT, Teresa Payton, our cybersecurity expert, is waiting in
the wings on a Wednesday, also waiting in the wings
in the traffic centers, Boomerir von Canna. I'm waiting on

(06:51):
that ethel Merman from Bath.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
That's what we're waiting for.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
You know, a little what was the everything's coming up
roses that has been there before. You just wait Boomer.
I think you might have infiltrated my brain again.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
You know what day this is in the Sound of Motown,
don't you?

Speaker 8 (07:07):
September third?

Speaker 4 (07:08):
It was the third of September.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Oh God damn.

Speaker 9 (07:16):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Incredible Papa with a rolling stone.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
That is incredible, Boomer.

Speaker 8 (07:21):
It was the third of September.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yes, it's Boomer song of the day.

Speaker 7 (07:24):
That's said Mary.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
I ain't no crowd to go back in town.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
This is good morning Beatsy with both Toobson and Beth Troutman.

Speaker 6 (07:37):
Wednesday morning in the Tyboid Studio. That's where Beth is.
That's where I am, and we beamed the fifty thousand
white blow torch to the Big Apple. That's where Teresa
Payton is. At least I have it on good authority
from Sir Stephen of Anthony that she is in New
York City today. Is that is that correct information? Teresa?

Speaker 4 (07:56):
Yes, that is correct.

Speaker 9 (07:57):
I am here. It's absolutely beautiful, very similar weather actually
Charlotte this week.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
So what you're doing in the Big Apple.

Speaker 9 (08:06):
I've got some meetings in the banking industry and we're
gonna be talking all things. Well, I'm sure AI will
be something talked about, maybe every fifth sentence. But it
seems like these days. But you know, technology, AI policy
all kinds of good things.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
Let's start with an AI story that has a lot
of people troubled. And this is something that you put
on our radar. Meta Meta's unauthorized chatbots that are imitating
some celebrities, including one Taylor Swift who apparently the chatbot
reached out to a Reuter's reporter and invited that reporter

(08:47):
to her Nashville home.

Speaker 9 (08:51):
Yeah, Meta, what is going on? I mean, I think
I think on the on the good news side is
once these chat bots were report and people said they
looked real. So we're in that age where the technology
is so good it's hard to really discern between is
this real or is this a deep bake? And one

(09:12):
of the chat potts, Beth, was actually created by a
Meta employee, it was found out. So once Meta found
out about this, they did shut these down. But the
fact is is that they had over ten million interactions
before some of these accounts were shut down. Very serious
and I actually have an open question, which is, you know,

(09:33):
the White House just put in the Take It Down
Act was signed into law by the Hill, supported by
the White House, and so the question is was this
potentially in violation of the Take It Down Act?

Speaker 6 (09:45):
So, speaking of AI and speaking of the White House,
I know you've been following this story. This is an
interesting one because there's a video that's been circulating online
that the shows items being tossed or it looks like
being taught out of the upstairs window of the actual
White House. Now, President Trump was asked about this in

(10:06):
a news conference yesterday. I'm gonna put this is longer,
longer clip than I would normally play with you, but
I want to give context as to what was said
to have happened. And then President Trump, who lives in
the White House, here's his reaction to it.

Speaker 10 (10:19):
There's a video, there is a video that is circulating
online now of the White House where a window is
open to the residence upstairs and somebody has thrown a
big bag out the window.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Have you seen this?

Speaker 11 (10:31):
No, that's probably AI generator. So I actually you can't
open the windows, you know why. They're all heavily armored
and bulletproof.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
That a big video, what's.

Speaker 8 (10:43):
Got to be because I know every window up there.

Speaker 11 (10:46):
The last place I'd be doing it is that because
his camera's all over the place right, including yours.

Speaker 8 (10:51):
No, but every window.

Speaker 11 (10:53):
I've never seen a window that's In fact, my wife
was complaining about it at the end of the day.
She said, love to have a little fresh air come in,
but you can't. Their bulletproof and number one, they're sealed.
And number two, each window weighs about six hundred pounds.
You have to be pretty strong to open them up. No,
that has to be Where was the window?

Speaker 8 (11:12):
Let me see it. Which is the window?

Speaker 7 (11:14):
It looks like this is on the fifteenth street.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Side, I think, so right here.

Speaker 8 (11:20):
Those windows are sealed. Those windows are all they're all sealed.
You can't open them.

Speaker 11 (11:28):
It's the kind of thing they do. And one of
the problems we have with AI. It's both good and bad.
If something happens really bad, just blame AI. But also
they create things. You know, it works both ways. If
something happens it's really bad, maybe I'll have to just
blame AI. But there's truth to it because I see
so many phony things. I saw something as I was
growing up, from the time I was a baby till now,

(11:50):
I said, who did that? It was AI generated? So
it's a little bit scary to be honest, with you,
but for those windows are overy have?

Speaker 6 (12:00):
Okay, that was the exchange with Peter Doocey, one of
the Fox reporters yesterday at the White House. But you
and not everybody may know this because they may be
new to the show. Teresa Payton was once the chief
information officer at the White House during the George W.
Bush administration, so you also know the White House pretty well.
What's your reaction to that whole exchange.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (12:23):
I have not had a chance to run the video
itself through a variety of different tools to get a
take as to whether or not the tools believe the
video is AI generated. But it is very interesting because
you had a White House official say there's maintenance being done.
I do have an open question. If you're doing maintenance

(12:44):
at the White House, why would you throw things out
the window. I guess I didn't want to carry it
through the residence, but that is a little strange to
do that. What I will say is is there are
bulletproof windows as well as special kinds of curtains, and
they're installed many of the White House buildings, not just
the White House itself. And I remember that because I

(13:07):
remember saying to somebody like why are there such ugly
curtains everywhere in some of the buildings, And they said, oh,
those are to protect you. Those are actually like shatterproof
type curtains. If something happens to the windows, Oh okay.
And so I think there's still an open question as
to whether or not the first report, which was maintenance

(13:28):
was being done. The windows, you know, from a safety perspective,
can be opened in a special way, and maybe that
was what was happening because the President was away. I
think we're going to have to run it through the tools,
and only time will tell if those videos were AI generated.
It's an open question. It's going to be the mystery

(13:50):
of the month until the different tools kind of weigh in.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Well.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
And speaking of maintenance and upgrades and tools, President Trump
via executive order, along with the National Design Studio, there's
an initiative to improve digital and physical spaces and this
is called America by Design. What exactly is this?

Speaker 9 (14:13):
Yeah, it's very very interesting. So the White House created
a new National Design Studio and it's an initiative to
improve digital and physical spaces and called America by Design.
And he created a new role and a name that
might be familiar to people. Joe Gebbia. He most recently

(14:36):
worked on Doze. He was also one of the co
founders of Airbnb, and the President has appointed him.

Speaker 6 (14:45):
In this role.

Speaker 9 (14:46):
Thinking about the United States and usability and aesthetics of
the US government's digital services. So it's going to be
very interesting to see how this plays out. So does
this that we're going to have new usability and aesthetics
for people who want to access the security information online?

(15:07):
Does that mean we're gonna have new usability aesthetics when
we're actually paying our taxes each year. There's two websites
that have been stood up to support this effort and
this new role, America Bydesign dot gov and Ndstudio dot gov.

Speaker 6 (15:22):
Teresa Payton in the Big Apple today. Be safe up there.
We'll talk to you soon. And remember you can also
follow Teresa. Always follow Teresa on x at tracker paytent.
It's her handle. We always appreciate the time so much.

Speaker 9 (15:36):
Oh, Bethan Bow, It's always great to be with you.
Have a great rest of the week, and be safe
out there.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Hey, what's up?

Speaker 3 (15:41):
How are you doing?

Speaker 8 (15:42):

Speaker 6 (15:43):
I like that. I don't know what it means, but
I like it.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
Hey, how are you. Hi? We're great.

Speaker 12 (15:47):
You're a news show that is fun.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
This is good morning, Beati. Tell me tell me.

Speaker 13 (16:00):
The kind.

Speaker 6 (16:03):
You know who sings this?

Speaker 8 (16:04):
Right?

Speaker 4 (16:07):
Crabs?

Speaker 6 (16:08):
Well you're close as Al Gardner, you say, thanks, Bo.
That's Herman's Hermits.

Speaker 4 (16:18):
The cover band of Hermit's Hermit's called the Crabs.

Speaker 7 (16:21):
Yeah right.

Speaker 6 (16:23):
What was the name of the superman the Mighty Mighty
Boss Crabs or something something like that. I'll find it.
But anyway, Herman's Hermit's.

Speaker 4 (16:35):
So proud of you for finding us.

Speaker 6 (16:37):
I was really reaching because that's actually what I want
to talk about. You want to talk about. I'm just
going along with what you want to talk about.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
Guys, you know that Bo and I spend pretty much
the majority of the day reading stories, finding articles that
are interesting, and we send them to each other as
potential conversations. Tod fodder fodder for the show, and I
sent him this story. And I knew as soon as
I did, I knew that all of you in here,
I knew that you were going to make fun of

(17:04):
me for finding this fascinating. But how many of you,
when you were young went to the beach for vacation
with your family? And you went to like a wings
or a gay dolphins or you know what was that
you get the gay dolphin? Do you remember the gay dolphin?

Speaker 7 (17:18):
I don't think I've ever heard a beach I.

Speaker 6 (17:22):
Remember the name, never have been there.

Speaker 7 (17:25):
Well, oh god, oh my god.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
See back in the day that meant something different.

Speaker 7 (17:32):
Remember tassels there, No.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
It was like a wings. It was like a wings.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
The word been happy to get one time?

Speaker 7 (17:44):
All right, Sorry, I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (17:50):
That was the blue oyster bow. Oh I know, it's
the closest thing I could find.

Speaker 6 (17:56):
You know, you're walking down the street and that door
opens on the side of the wall.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
It's like a dolphins are what.

Speaker 6 (18:03):
Hermits?

Speaker 4 (18:04):
How many of you went? How many of you went
to one of those stores? Never with your family, we
went to the Man Star. It's kind of you know, oysterairs, dolphins,
beach themes. How many of you went to one of
the stores and you saw the big, you know, glass

(18:26):
case with the hermit crabs, all the little hermit crabs
in there. How many of you got one as like
a pet at the beach store? Yes, And you did
get home and you had like the little plastic containers
filled with sand and then the hermit crab died in
like a week.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yeah you're lucky.

Speaker 4 (18:45):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (18:45):
The one I one we bought my son was painted
yeah the shell Yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
They so that became a thing, that became a thing.
The themes of the shells, like you'd get like SpongeBob
SquarePants on the back of a shell. Well, guys, guys,
I don't like this. I read an entire entire there's
an entire group of people. There's a whole entire club
of hermit crab hobbyists. They're like two hundred and fifty

(19:12):
thousand people across America, and they have now started trying
to change the way that we think about hermit crabs
as pets.

Speaker 6 (19:19):
Get out of your shell, go meet someone, guys.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
A Hermit crabs are supposed to live for an extremely
long period of time. This is according to Slate magazine.
Listen to this. A propit A propit, a proper hermit
crab habitat, which is called guys, a crabitat. It should
be a large three foot long, forty gallon tank. That
would be the minimum for a hermit crab, and you

(19:44):
should have around four crabs. Because hermit crabs are actually
social animals. You shouldn't just have one hermit crab, you
need multiple. They should not be kept alone and each
so you know, the beach store people, I'm not gonna
say the wings people, they tell you like, these are
the things that you need to do. They've been telling
folks wrong the entire time.

Speaker 6 (20:03):
Because they don't really know.

Speaker 4 (20:05):
They don't and the hermit crabs are free.

Speaker 6 (20:11):
They didn't go to school.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
For this, but the hermit crabs are suffering because of it.
Each habitat should contain moist sand mixed with coconut fiber
and at least six inches deep, so that the crabs
can bury themselves when they need to molt and regrow
their exoskeleton.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Here's the hermit crab. It's a dollar. The rest will
cost you four thousand dollars to pick the habitat.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
It should include a small pool of fresh unchlorinated water
and another specially formulated salt water pool, both deep enough
for the crab to fully submerge itself. A heater on
the side of the tank should keep the temperature stable
between seventy five and eighty five degrees and monitor the humidity.

(20:57):
And these hermit crabs should living up to forty five years.

Speaker 7 (21:03):
Oh, oh, they just need a humanifier, that's all they were.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Oh, we are definitely doing it wrong humanifier.

Speaker 6 (21:08):
Wait, look, I know that there are many people listening
to us that have gone to the beach and bought
the hermit crab and done the whole thing. Does anybody
still have a hermit crab remotely living for that long?

Speaker 4 (21:20):
Because we've been doing it wrong, and so these.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Are Oh, you have maybe somebody out there that kind
of commitment, Like you're like eight years old and now
fifty three year old, you was like, gosh, my crab's
on his last.

Speaker 7 (21:30):
I've seen turtles.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
That's okay. So that's what the scientists are saying is
these pets should be considered similar to if you had
a tortoise or a parrot, because if you get a
parent a pet parrot, they live for like eighty years.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
More or like a grandparent.

Speaker 7 (21:45):
Are treating them more?

Speaker 3 (21:45):
Like?

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Yes, right, but I bought a grand parent put it
in a tank.

Speaker 6 (21:50):
I thought a hermit crab was by definition a crab
that lived in that shell. But then they had to
move on to other shells bigger, Like when they get bigger,
don't they move to other shells sounds.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
To me like they grow their own like little exoskeleton.

Speaker 6 (22:03):
So they stay in the same one. That because because
you know what I'm thinking here that they're not thinking ahead.
They can say here, buy five or six bigger shells
that they can grow into money, make adventure right there.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
The main thing is is that you need to buy
multiple hermit crabs. They're friends, they like community. They should
not be I know that the name is wrong. Calling
them hermit crabs is selling it like their little hermits
that don't want to be around other hermits.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
We've completely done them wrong for decades.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
Yes, we have been treating the hermit crabs incorrectly.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Along should a regular crab like that you get like
for bred lobster, how long should that crab live?

Speaker 4 (22:37):
Well, if it were still alive.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Without being caught for food or cooked, like, what's their lifespan?
If it makes it to desert, it's doing something right,
But you're shorting all of them.

Speaker 4 (22:46):
Don't you feel sad now that we could have like
the hermit crab I got as a kid, I could
still technically have if I had done this right.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Don't get me started on lightning bugs. Oh yeah, the
things we've done as children in the lightning bugs. Them's
wrong all.

Speaker 6 (23:00):
The name of baseball, bats butterflies, trying to make your
own flesh light all right? Sixty five on Newstalk eleven
ten WBT Free of the Hermits?

Speaker 4 (23:09):
Do you all hate? But I found it fascinating that
all this time.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
Oh, that was a lot of good information, all this time.
Sounds like a lot more work than I'm willing to
put into the crab. Yeah, and what did the hermit
crab go for? Like three bucks? I don't even know.

Speaker 6 (23:20):
I haven't bought one in this economy, Jim, next time
you go into a wings, you got to realize the
commitment you met.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
You're raking, Yes, forty five years. I'm not up for that.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
But what if it's really friendly social they're social with
if you.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Get to bury yourself in the cocoat sand anyway, that's all.

Speaker 6 (23:37):
Right, rolling on on this Wednesday morning. So it was
last week that the Pumpkin spice came back to Starbucks.
From what I've told you, guys know, I don't drink
the stuff, not even the unpumpkin coffee, but I know

(23:57):
a lot of you do. And if you like that
kind of thingying you're probably going to be interested in this.
September twenty ninth, Starbucks is adding protein packed cold foam
and lattes to its menu now. I sent Beth a
note last night before I even get into the protein
fused coffee. What the heck is a cold foam am?

(24:17):
I supposed to know what that is? Other than the obvious.

Speaker 4 (24:21):
I mean, like it's like cold foamy'd.

Speaker 6 (24:24):
Like I'm going to pay for that at Starbucks drink
yeah flavored?

Speaker 4 (24:27):
Yeah, Well, it's it's like a drink with you know,
like beer has a head on it. It's kind of that,
but it's coffee.

Speaker 6 (24:33):
But I don't just order that.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
Well, the cold foam drinks now and the protein lattes
are not only going to be the coffee drinks that
you normally enjoy. I don't know if you guys have
noticed this, but kind of everybody's on a protein kick
right now, and I'm here to tell you that if
you are in perimenopause, and gentlemen, I know that you
all are, that the thing that they tell you is

(24:56):
consume as much protein as possible that you need protein, protein,
protein pre I feel like it's my hobby, my second job,
is to try to get as enough protein in my life.
This is I guess part of that. They're marketing to
all of these people who are jumping on the protein train.
And you can get the I mean nineteen to twenty
six grams of proteins in the cold foam drinks and

(25:19):
twenty seven to thirty six grams of protein in the
lattes thanks to their new protein boosted milk.

Speaker 7 (25:27):
It's like steak steak, milk milk steak and milk steak.

Speaker 4 (25:31):
It's protein and fuse. But keep in mind, and this
is according to a dietician, keep in mind that even
though these drinks do have these larger amounts of protein
in them, the sugar content still remains high. And if
you are thinking about trying to maintain a healthy diet,
get the unsweetened options of these different protein drinks if

(25:54):
they are if they are available at your just.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
Sounds complicated, I do.

Speaker 6 (25:59):
I think you're right though about the you know everything
now that's a drink or not a drink. I was
in candy bars that are zero sugar. You know, zero
sugar is a subcategory that's making millions now. It seems
like the new version of that is add protein to anything,
because I saw in the hairsteeter the other day, I
saw a whole bunch of cheerios boxes that are cheerios

(26:21):
with protein.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
They're adding it to cereal. That's actually so so true.
And this, by the way, because of this protein boosted
milk that they are now going to have to make
these protein drinks, you can swap out in your regular
favorite Starbucks drink the protein boosted milk. So if you
get a normal like chramel macchiato or something, if that's

(26:45):
your jam, you can add the protein boosted milk instead
of their regular I think they are their regular milk
that they use as two percent. Then instead of that,
you can get the protein boosted milk and have a little, uh,
have a little extra protein in your life with your
coffee pick me up in the morning.

Speaker 6 (27:00):
So basically it becomes just like a you know, extra
boost what do you call it when you go in
there and.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
The little what's the word an espresso shot.

Speaker 6 (27:08):
But when you say you add a little uh, a
little something something pump though it is yeah it's protein pump.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
No, no, a little something something.

Speaker 4 (27:18):
It's different.

Speaker 6 (27:19):
Are we here this morning?

Speaker 1 (27:20):
We're talking about great question.

Speaker 4 (27:22):
Are you proteins at Starbucks in this morning?

Speaker 3 (27:25):
Mark?

Speaker 14 (27:27):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (27:28):
I thought Mark was gonna say, yeah, I got a
little protein added this newscast coming up right. I take
it Beth has been spearheading this conversation. Yeah, it's protein
and hermit crabs.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
Yes, we got it.

Speaker 6 (27:40):
Hey, I'm here.

Speaker 4 (27:41):
We got a HIPing hot mic yeat.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
A lot of a lot of fuzzy bounce on those
upper eqs.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
What kick in the pants from these talk eleven ten
and ninety nine three w bet.

Speaker 15 (27:52):
Move over my glasses and ladders and make wait for
you soul rocking death.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
This is Good Morning Beaty with Bo Thompson and trout Quit.

Speaker 6 (28:01):
Hello, first timer and the goose says hello to you too.
You know what that means. First ever? Al KaAZ Djokovic
at the US Open. We've been hoping for this Friday night.
Got to clear the schedule. Yeah, everybody else in the

(28:22):
room says same.

Speaker 4 (28:24):
Here it's on my calendar. I can't find my calendar,
but it's on it.

Speaker 6 (28:27):
Wednesday, September third, Tyboid Studio, Strong Carolina Panthers. We'll get
to it on Sunday afternoon. Jacksonville Jaguars. You know who
we haven't heard from in a while, but all eyes
are on him. Going to be on him on Sunday.
T mac Tetoroha McMillan, old long arms, Panthers first round

(28:49):
draft pick, hopefully the wide receiver of the future.

Speaker 16 (28:54):
A couple of days before the first.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
On a fill game.

Speaker 13 (28:58):
I think it's too early to toom not really feeling
anything yet. Probably when we get closer to the game,
I may feel a little a little nervous, but man,
just enjoying the moment, just having fun.

Speaker 16 (29:11):
That's uh, you know, crazy week for the receiver room.
What is it been like to have Hunter back in
the fold but also see Jalen unfortunately go down.

Speaker 13 (29:20):
Uh yeah, like I said, it's been it's been a weird,
weird week. But you know, we just taking day at
a time, and you know, I have no I mean yeah,
I have no doubt that anybody in the recery room
can step up and make a play. So whether it's
having Hunting back or you know, somebody else gotta take
the place of Jayleen, I believe that we all can
make a play.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
And you know, we gotta.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
We got a deep receiver work.

Speaker 16 (29:41):
We don't know what they're gonna do with with Travis
y had on both sides of the ball. Travis Hunter,
what's your experience been with him as a receiver and
a and a dv Uh.

Speaker 13 (29:50):
You know, we battle since since high school. So it's
gonna be a fun one just playing at three different levels.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
So uh, you know, comes Saturday, we'll see what happens.

Speaker 8 (29:58):
Do you feel ready.

Speaker 7 (29:59):
For Week one? I mean him stepping into the NFL
and then making a big.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Debut, Yeah, no doubt.

Speaker 13 (30:05):
And I think that's a huge testament to this team
and the players, especially on defense, you know, just getting
me ready, getting me prepared for anything that happens this season.
And I definitely feel like I'm ready for sure.

Speaker 6 (30:16):
So the Panthers opened the preseason against Shador Standers several
weeks back, and now they open the regular season against
his old teammate Travis Hunter for the Jaguars. The question
going around Zoke is how many offensive snaps will Travis
Hunter get in this game? And in addition, of course
to playing on the other side of the ball, which
is what makes him kind of a unicorn in the

(30:37):
first place.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Yeah, I think it's been forty years and somebody tried
to play you know, a lot of football on both sides,
offense and defense, and I think he's going to play
mostly on defense is what they're talking about to start,
and then they'll spot him on offense at times and
we'll see how that kind of moves as the season
goes on. But you know, they they traded up for
a reason, gave up a first round pick next year
to get him, so I'm sure they're gonna use him

(30:58):
a lot and then that way, both on offense and defense. Otherwise,
White trade up for him so very good obviously defensive back,
very talented wide receiver. But he's a rookie. He's not
played in the NFL before, so it'll be interesting to
see if you can jump in like you did at
Colorado where you're such a dominant player. Obviously.

Speaker 4 (31:14):
Can you imagine having played against another person and with
another person all the way back to like little pee
wee football, and then suddenly you're playing on the NFL
stage together. I mean, what are the odds of that happening,
the odds of of that becoming a thing. I think
it's a really kind of fun story. I mean the
same with the with Bryce Young having known.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
T Mac really T mac knew everybody as a child,
he had a lot of playdates that mom set up
with everyone.

Speaker 6 (31:43):
Well, when you're coming up and playing youth sports, and
what do you hear all the time the odds of
you making playing at the professional level, you know, because
you don't want you don't want to create expectations for
your kids that are that are just impossible to achieve.
But then to best point, you know what if you
actually all are not only the the the guy that

(32:04):
finally does make it, and then oh, by the way,
you end up playing with guys that you played with,
so so that means that not only did you you uh,
you know, exceed what what people said would happen, your
whole friend group did.

Speaker 4 (32:15):
Right, You're defying the odds. If anything, I think it
shows you as parents, don't discourage your kids because you
just don't know what's possible.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
I kind of wish our parents had better geenes physically
now I look back at it, because I don't feel like, yeah,
five ten and one fifty five in high school is
going to cut it from yeah.

Speaker 6 (32:32):
I mean there is a point that you come to
and say, all right, I see my genes. This is
whether I just tells me whether.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
That's just by super Bowl.

Speaker 6 (32:38):
Yes, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
High school sports is by super Bowl.

Speaker 4 (32:42):
I don't know. Guys, look at Muggsy Bogues if he
was like five two, always.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
The Muggsy Bogues, Always Tom Brady one ninety nine.

Speaker 6 (32:48):
Right, Muggy bugs the outlier of all outliers.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Every people in our lifetime that have overachin web Yes,
bud Webs like there's three.

Speaker 6 (32:57):
Good job kids.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
Nobody else.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
I believe, and I believe that if you believe you
can achieve, teach them well and let them lead the way. Yeah,
Whitney said it for a reason.

Speaker 6 (33:08):
Show them all that beauty they possess inside Boomer, Yes, sir,
bring it all, give them a sense of pride.

Speaker 7 (33:14):
Yes, make it easier.

Speaker 6 (33:16):
Don't forgetmbarrassed yourself in front of your children.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
There you go.

Speaker 8 (33:19):
I don't know. Easier said than done sexually.

Speaker 6 (33:27):
Sorry, always has to go in that direction. Because I
don't hear Whitney, I hear Eddie, Hey, buddy, the phone.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
I wanted to touch on something last week takes about That.

Speaker 6 (33:40):
Was you, buddy, that was me. You know what the
best part of all of this has been See we
love our listeners, and I feel like we're all kind
of family. Now Buddy calls in about something else and
he says to us, well, it got you on the line.
That's perfect.

Speaker 4 (33:57):
That's the greatest call to.

Speaker 12 (33:58):
Day, Buddy, Joe, I have a great love living to you.

Speaker 4 (34:01):
It's going to be good morning, Bet and Buddy.

Speaker 6 (34:03):
That's right, it's going to be good morning Bet, Buddy.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
Bye, guys, cool by bye. This is good Morning Beat
with Bow and Beth. Buddy.

Speaker 6 (34:21):
Remember well it's not the twenty first yet, but it's
the third. Jess and I hope you've uh, I hope
your New Year's resolutions are going well by now. There's
a reason why I say that, because there are those

(34:43):
out there that would say you're making your resolutions at
the wrong time.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
Actually, science, guys now says that you're making your resolutions
at the wrong time.

Speaker 6 (34:53):
Bill Nye says, how many, I stilly, how many of you?

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Oh got the Thomas Dolby Roight.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
Yeah, science, how many of you have made New Year's resolutions?
And you make it maybe three weeks, maybe into February,
and then you're like, well I'm exhausted, you can't do it? Well, okay, okay,
So that is the marketing campaign. That's the push you

(35:22):
see from gym's, from from diet programs.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
They I am not pushing that on America. I was
just saying it.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
But you are oftentimes encouraged, if not pushed or forced
to make New Year's resolutions. But listen to this. According
to a new scientific study that was just released by
you gov, we've been doing it wrong the whole darn time.
If you are ever going to stick to it, not

(35:53):
you comma.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
Go, just you go.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
If you really want to stick to it quote unquote
new Year's resolution, you need to make those resolutions in September.

Speaker 6 (36:06):
Makes sense from the standpoint of that's the start of
the school year. I mean, I know technically it's August,
but like you think of back in the early days
of school, we started after Labor Day and you think, okay,
the school year or or you know, the football season year.

Speaker 4 (36:22):
Well, here's the science behind it. Bo It says, why
should you start your resolutions in September Because September is
the ninth month of the year, and it comes after
a RESTful natural pause during the summer, meaning that energy
levels are higher and you're more likely to stay committed
to your chosen resolution. That's according to psychologists that oftentimes

(36:48):
after Christmas, people are strapped for cash after the holiday season,
and they're exhausted from all of the shopping, all of
the parties, all of the family entertaining, all of the
events that you have to go to around Christmas time,
and you are less likely to stick to those resolutions
because you're exhausted and strapped for cash.

Speaker 6 (37:08):
Every bit of it makes total sense, You're right, because
the summer you sort of kick back and recharge. You start.
The January first comes along and you're you've been. You
just finished the most hectic time of the entire year
in many cases, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
And a time of year that doesn't shift into a
natural like let's change our habits. Instead you're like, let
me just sleep foro.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
The only difficulty in both kind of reference the football
part is football comes with beer and chicken wings and
heats and things like that, so it's it's probably a
good time to be mindful of not doing all of that.
But football tailgating all that kind of goes hand and
down with not eating like a Caesar salad.

Speaker 4 (37:47):
Okay, but everything everything in moderation now floaded Jim has loaded.
This scientist also explains that the seasonal change that naturally
happens in September, the change into autumn, it actually makes
our bos boies reinforce this sense of a change is happening,
but everything in moderation. So, yeah, it's football season. You
might have a Miller light and some chicken wings. But

(38:09):
wouldn't it be better if you're having a Miller light
and some chicken wings but you've also started a new
exercise routine, because then you're kind of counteracting some of that.
I've never been the kind of person that says, just
stop doing everything that you enjoy and only do hard,
regimented workouts and only eat carrot sticks. Like that's not sustainable.

(38:31):
That doesn't work for anything. But if you do something
you enjoy, like tailgate, but you also find an exercise
that you enjoy, and you make that part of your
September resolution, you're more likely to keep it going.

Speaker 6 (38:43):
Have you ever kept a New Year's resolution all the
way around to the anniversary of the resolution?

Speaker 4 (38:49):
No, I'm not really a New Year's resolution. So my family, y'all,
God bless them. My mom would or my grandmother would
always have New Year's Day parties where you would have
the black eyed peas and the collar greens that's supposed
to bring you luck and money. And she would actually
put money in like tiny little plastic wrap and put
them in the collar greens. So every now and again,

(39:09):
you'd like eat a quarter, and you'd have to you'd
have to make sure you pulled it out of your
mouth and unwrapped them. But she would put money in
the collar greens. AnyWho, what we had to do together was.

Speaker 6 (39:19):
It's another reason not to eat collar greens for money.

Speaker 4 (39:23):
She would have us right down some of our New
Year's resolutions, and then she would mail them to us
on our birthday to see if we had kept any
of them. But my birthday is January ninth, so I
would write these resolutions down on the first, and like
I'd get mine on the ninth. It was only really
beneficial for those people like my brother, you know, whose
birthdays in July, or my cousins whose birthdays were in December.

(39:45):
They would get a whole year to see if they
kept their resolutions. I had like eight days to figure out,
so I've never said ass.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
Say she'd have been one hundred. Then I just got
to do this for nine days.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
But I will say that I am I have. I
tend to I kind of naturally start back at things
when my body feels rested. And but for me, any
kind of resolution, it really has to be about a mindset.
I have to I have to just change my mind.
And if I change my mind, then maybe I'll stick

(40:14):
to stick to some New Year's resolution. But I don't
know that I've ever made one that I've stuck to,
which I guess maybe might be sad. Let's make one today, guys,
September or September resolution.

Speaker 6 (40:26):
Well, so we've got a couple of people that have
texted about this on the text line. This is let's
who is this? Well, I don't see a name on here.
I'm going to throw a monkey wrench into the in
the works here, the prefix sept sept means seven? Does
that mean September used to be the seventh month?

Speaker 1 (40:45):
This is a whole different conversation.

Speaker 6 (40:47):
Well, you know the text line is part of the calendar.

Speaker 4 (40:49):
Well, October oct is for eight, you know.

Speaker 6 (40:52):
So, and it's I'm just telling you what they're saying
out there.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Don't get you started. On Wednesday, send the letters and Wednesday.

Speaker 6 (41:00):
Fox says, New Year's resolutions are a joke. Never start
anything on a Monday. Change your lifestyle and live it
the rest of your life.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
There you go, Fox, That's kind of what this is
saying that if you just find that time and there's
that kind of a natural cycle to September being a
place in your life where you feel rested, where you
feel change coming because the seasons are changing, that that
might be enough for you to do like Fox says,

(41:27):
and change your mind. And then once you've changed your
mind to move forward with something new. It can it
can change the way that you approach the rest of
your life.

Speaker 6 (41:35):
Kevin says, I started some new habits on August first,
and I'm still holding good on you. Kevin doesn't want
to say what they are, though, Oh no, wait a minute,
here it is chicken. I didn't read the subject line.
I forgot about that, says chicken wings and buffalo sauce
are close to zero carbs eat up. I actually read.
I didn't read that right.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
I've been doing it right the whole time without even knowing.

Speaker 4 (41:57):
Grilled wings with buffalo sauce. Man some good stuff.

Speaker 6 (42:01):
Unbreaded, he says, and what he meant to say, is
I started those on August first, and I'm still I'm
still there.

Speaker 4 (42:09):
Oh he's still eating the chicken.

Speaker 6 (42:10):
We You know, some people send you the meat of
the of the message in the subject line. Yeah, yeah,
I missed that. Sorry Kevin.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
This is good morning beating.

Speaker 4 (42:26):
Is this for David?

Speaker 6 (42:28):
That's Santana.

Speaker 3 (42:34):
In the.

Speaker 6 (42:39):
So this is it was bound to come back around
this way, right, I'm supposed to believe now that four
and ten people want to go back to work. Amongst
the gen Z crowd out there, they actually want to
go back to work now. They don't want to work
from home anymore because they want to be around people.

Speaker 4 (43:01):
This does not surprise me one little bit. And I
think that, especially when you once you're out of college,
work is one of the best places to meet people.
I mean, we're all friends because we work together. Would
we have necessarily met each other had we not been
in this building together. I'm married my co worker exactly.

(43:23):
I feel I feel like this makes one hundred percent
since because the gen Z folks are just now entering
into the professional world, they're just getting their their sea
legs post COVID and starting to understand that just working
from home and doing nothing but teams, meetings or zoom calls.

(43:44):
There's no social interaction to that, and no real human
connection to that.

Speaker 6 (43:49):
It was JP Morgan boss Jamie Diamond who said that
gen Z, most of them gen Z doesn't want to
show up to the office for work, and he's trying
to say, hey, you need to be here. New research, though,
goes against what he's say and according to a new
survey of eight thousand adults four and ten, sixteen to
twenty four year old said that they feel lonely or

(44:11):
socially isolated because of their work situation. More than forty
five percent of gen Z respondents say they are looking
for jobs that provide social interaction, compared with twenty seven
percent of workers of all age groups.

Speaker 4 (44:25):
I think that that probably is just how work styles.
I know for one hundred percent. I know myself well
enough to know that if I had a work from
home job, I would find every reason to do everything else.
I would find every reason to not beyond it.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
Really, because when you go home, you work on this
job for a good chunk of your day. I know
I do. I think we all do. So It's like
you said, how much I know if from doing that
morning show with you when Bo's not here. How many
hours you can spend surf of the web looking for ideas,
which it doesn't sound like much, but it's like man,
sometimes it's a grind and sometimes it falls together easily.
But for me, with working for two football teams and
doing stuff here, I say why people would like kind

(45:04):
of a hybrid where it's like you're with people part
of the day, but also I can work from home
at my own pace, going bad thing and sometimes you
find yourself like ten o'clock working or at night working,
so your hours are like never ending.

Speaker 4 (45:17):
That's the thing that I think people have found by
working from home is there isn't a natural endpoint to
the day. You don't have a moment where you say
it's quite in tom. You know where you used to
clock in and clock out at at a at a job.

Speaker 6 (45:30):
Well as it relates to this job, like doing the
act of the show, I would not want to do
outside of here. And I say that knowing that there
are a good number of radio shows now that are
ensemble radio shows. But nobody's in the same room now
as as good as as you have to be. And
I tip my cat, my cat my hat to those people.

(45:52):
I don't even I don't I don't even have a cat.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
I have two dogs whiskers.

Speaker 6 (45:58):
But I tip my hat in this broadcast, whether it's
television or radio. Who can do an ensemble show but
nobody's in the same room. It can be done, but
it's very difficult. I had a little bit of a
taste of what it was like back during COVID where
I had to This is before you were here, Beth,
but it was you know, I remember doing the show
with Pat McCrory. It's hard enough doing the show with
him in the same room, but doing the show with

(46:19):
him where you can't see him because Pat is a
very sort of you've got to see facial expressions, You've
got a sort of a yin and yang, and you could,
you know, put a lot of people in that category
of you. There's chemistry on a show because you could
see somebody. When you don't have that, it's a whole
different ballgame. So what I'm saying is, asz Okie's talking
about the prep part of the show, I actually like

(46:41):
to do the prep part out of here, and I
prefer it that way. That's why I'm not a guy
who gets here two hours and goes down and sits
at a desk here. I can do it better at
home because of all my stuff around me, and I've
sort of built it so I work well there. But
doing the actual show itself, there's nothing like coming in
and seeing all of you and interact with you in
the same room. And I that's my personal preference. But

(47:03):
I and we're talking about, you know, a sort of
a show business type thing, but apply it to whatever
you're doing out there. We got into this conversation a
few weeks ago about if you work at home all
the time, there is something to be said for getting
up and going through the process of getting ready and
putting on quote unquote work clothes or at least, you know,
not pajamas to go do your job right.

Speaker 4 (47:25):
There's a mental motivation part to it. During COVID I
did Charlotte. I was hosting Charlotte Today and had to
do the show from my guest bedroom every single day.
And there are videos out there where I stood up
on camera where I had business on the top and
Jommy's is on the back. I mean, I'm not a.

Speaker 7 (47:45):
Oh Man.

Speaker 1 (47:46):
Your shirt was stitched in the middle like runt and back.

Speaker 7 (47:51):
Look at that mirror over there. What's going on?

Speaker 3 (47:53):
This is good morning. Get with both Thompson and Beth Troutman.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
I have a radical idea. The door swings both quiz
we could reverse the particle clow through the gate. How
we'll cross the streets? Is welcome Brett winter Ball.

Speaker 6 (48:14):
We know each other. He's a friend from work. All right,
nine in front of eight here on WBT Bowen Beth
on a Wednesday morning, third day of September. Time to
cross the streams. Talk to Brett Winterble, host of the
Brett Winterble Show every afternoon three till six. Good morning
to you, my friend.

Speaker 8 (48:35):
Hey, good morning.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
Good to be with you.

Speaker 6 (48:36):
A lot to get to and you and I were
talking late yesterday on your show about some of the
Trump headlines floating around DC. Well first and foremost held
in a news conference yesterday to talk about the relocation
of the of the Space the Space Force program, the
Central Hub from Colorado to Huntsville, Alabama, which was something

(48:59):
that was in the works during his first administration and
got detoured to Colorado during the Biden administration and now
finds its way back to Huntsville. And like I said,
you and I were talking yesterday about you know, they're
just the space program itself, and I feel like now
it's almost like a niche interest program versus when we

(49:19):
were all coming up in grade school, it was anytime
something blasted off from NASA, it was okay, stop the
lesson plan, let's watch this, and everybody take note.

Speaker 15 (49:31):
Yeah, and look, we take it for granted now and
there's stuff going up constantly, whether it's the Space Force,
whether it's Elon Musk and you know, other companies doing
stuff like that, and it sort of just falls back
into the into the ether a little bit, and we.

Speaker 6 (49:48):
Should never forget like this is pretty ridiculous.

Speaker 15 (49:52):
Like when you think about it, we're only like what
sixty years into this, and it's really quite something to
behold for the great people of Alabama.

Speaker 4 (50:02):
You know, one of the things that I love always
talking to you about. You have a great perspective on
geopolitical relationships and things that are going on globally and
our relationships with different countries. And right now all eyes
are on China because of this military parade, this kind
of quote unquote show of force rolling out the red
carpet for Putin and rolling out the red carpet for

(50:25):
North Korea. But also now India has shored up some
trade relationships with Russia and with China. And this is
at the same time that we've seen the Deminimus rule expire,
which has changed some shipping from countries in Europe and
in Asia Pacific and even countries like Australia, New Zealand
and Mexico from shipping some of those small parcels to

(50:47):
our country. And so now as you look at all
of these shifting relationships and certainly the ties between China, India,
now Iran and North Korea and Russia, where we are
in a geopolitical sense and in a trade sense.

Speaker 15 (51:04):
Yeah, Look, I think it's important to countries that trade
with each other do not typically go to war, and
that's one of the great things of the last centuries.
But the fact of the matter is you have Putin
and you have she and you have little Rocketman there,
and those people are kind of commemorating the end of

(51:25):
World War two.

Speaker 3 (51:27):
They're part of.

Speaker 15 (51:28):
The Bricks Alliance, which has got India in there, it's
got Brazil and there, it's got all that sort of stuff.
And so I think these people are all gonna trade.
They're going to do their thing as long as they
don't come in and try to hammer us.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
I think it's okay.

Speaker 15 (51:43):
It's very interesting to look at the way the geopolitical
thing is happening now, because you've got President.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
Trump paying a lot of.

Speaker 15 (51:52):
Attention into our hemisphere, seeing what happened yesterday with the
takedown of that boat that was sending drugs, and so
I think people are starting to look a little bit
more like the mid fifteenth century, maybe sixteenth century, than
it looked like in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. So

(52:13):
I think this is going to be a very interesting time.
And certainly with Rubio working as hard as he is,
and who knows, sky's the limit, we're going to see
a whole lot of alliances and a whole lot of prickliness.

Speaker 6 (52:25):
So a truth social posting by the President in recent
hours reacting to the China Victory Day parade, I'm read these.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
Oh it's awesome.

Speaker 6 (52:34):
The last bit of this here he says, wonderful people
of China have a great and lasting day of celebration.
Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin and Kim
Jong un as you conspire against the United States of America. Again.
You know, we heard there was going to be this
announcement at the White House yesterday and lots of speculation
about what it was going to be about. Would it

(52:55):
have anything to do with the next shoe dropping as
it relates to Russia? And it did not. And and
here we are with this, Uh what's going on here
with with Trump and Putin? What's the next thing that's
gonna happen?

Speaker 3 (53:06):
Do you think?

Speaker 8 (53:07):
I don't. I don't know what the next thing is
gonna happen.

Speaker 3 (53:09):
But I like this a lot.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
This is this is like the rivalry of.

Speaker 15 (53:13):
Old That's that's very much important, uh, in that regard. Look,
we were we were teamed up with them in World
War Two, after they were teamed up with the Nazis,
those maniacs. And so the fact of the matter is
this is a really interesting sort of a development. I
did see somebody post on it's very it's very inappropriate.
But I saw something posted earlier today and apparently Vladimir

(53:37):
Putin received a dog.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
They gave him a dog.

Speaker 15 (53:41):
And and uh, I think it was Shijin Ping and
they people had a commentary about about how happy Vladimir
Putin is to have that dog. And the thing is,
this is just kind of like what's going on now?
We're waiting for the next big shoe to drop. We
have to wait and see. But remember India, how there's
a lot of trade with a lot of people that

(54:02):
we don't necessarily like, and they're doing it for their
own benefit because what they're trying to do is get
cheap energy and all that sort of stuff. And you know,
if you got to crack a few eggs to make
an omelet, why not crack a few continents.

Speaker 6 (54:15):
To make an omelet? You know, I mean this is one.

Speaker 3 (54:17):
Of those deals.

Speaker 6 (54:17):
Well, I know you had Michael Wattley on your show
late yesterday afternoon. What is coming up on the Big
Wednesday edition?

Speaker 15 (54:24):
Oh, we got coach Matt Doherty joining us. I'm going
to arrast him eternally for the loss. And I don't know,
is Bill Belichick's girlfriend still, you know, walking the sidelines there.

Speaker 6 (54:36):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
It's interesting.

Speaker 6 (54:37):
Get her a head set. She probably could call better plays. Well,
you know, wow, I am very got a playbook. I'm
very various to hear what Doherty thinks about the whole
Belichick thing. Post game one.

Speaker 4 (54:50):
I love there that he just threw some Carolina shade
that well, really it was more Bill Belichick shade. We
call him, we have a nickname for him Winter, but
it's Bill Belireck.

Speaker 6 (55:00):
That is fantastic.

Speaker 15 (55:02):
I've always hated him, so I mean, just you know what,
But what do I know?

Speaker 6 (55:06):
Hi, Mark Garrison, three o'clock this afternoon, three ago, somebody say,
good morning, good morning, three this afternoon on WBT the
Brett Winter BOWLT Show.

Speaker 4 (55:15):
What does it mean to slide into someone's DMS?

Speaker 3 (55:19):
It sounds like a lot of fun.

Speaker 7 (55:20):
Okay, we're not ready for that from me.

Speaker 3 (55:21):
He's talk eleven and ninety nine three doublept.

Speaker 5 (55:25):
And then what does that have to do with anything?

Speaker 6 (55:27):
It has everything to do with anything.

Speaker 3 (55:29):
This is Good Morning Beat with Quote Thompson and Beth Trout.

Speaker 6 (55:33):
That's all over the second we ride up Pat Troy's.

Speaker 3 (55:36):
Bucket, dating.

Speaker 6 (55:48):
Love, making listeners happy.

Speaker 4 (55:49):
It thrills me to new.

Speaker 6 (55:51):
End customer service. That's what it's all about.

Speaker 4 (55:53):
Yes, if we make people smile, that makes me smile.

Speaker 6 (55:57):
Had a guy, David who texted us earlier said, bumpers today,
what's up with this? Well, we started with your song
of the day the song you woke up to, and
he said, uh, well, I usually don't hear that part
of the show, So I what do you say. I
don't have to worry about that nonsense.

Speaker 4 (56:14):
But I look, David's one of my new favorites. We've
been texting back and forth on the text.

Speaker 6 (56:17):
Line because we converted him. See now I've played two
Santana bumpers. He was asking me for Santana bumpers. I mean,
I go into the.

Speaker 4 (56:24):
This is a deep cut Santana, this is this is.

Speaker 6 (56:26):
His I mean, you know, this is behind the scenes.
I could I've got five hundred plus bumpers I could
go to at any moment on this show. I mean,
I take I take my bumpers. Seriously, four hundred. I
mean that's not even a humble brag. That's just that's
just reality.

Speaker 4 (56:41):
I think we do need a little bit of a
humble brag about how many bumpers you had.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
I think that's felt like a humble bad it really did?
I have five hundred bumpers?

Speaker 6 (56:49):
What do you want? You want three? Like Vince Coley, I.

Speaker 8 (56:51):
Want the sound.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
That's what I want.

Speaker 3 (56:54):
Good morning, bet, humble breath, yeam.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
Shot the fire I'm just sitting there having his zero
right now. What the heck?

Speaker 6 (57:01):
Man? I love Vince, but I mean, you know, Vince
is not known for his variety of bumpers. He's just not,
you know, on this show. I don't talk about it much,
but I mean, I've look, I've been doing this for
my whole career, so you've been holding this in for
a while. I've been building up the bumper arsenal for
a long time. So when somebody calls in and said
to him, David, I like to I like to make

(57:22):
people happy when it comes to the bumper department.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
Except for bo Vince's feelings.

Speaker 6 (57:29):
Vince knows I love him. I appreciate him making us
his choice for news.

Speaker 12 (57:35):
Right.

Speaker 4 (57:35):
Yeah, well, he and I bonded because we both we
both call ourselves recovering news anchors.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (57:41):
I break bread with Vince a couple times a year.
I don't see him very often because we're kind of
ships passing in the night. But I love Vince. Vince's
to me, Vince is his two hours on this radio
station are unique from any others, and it's kind of
like a It's like an exhale. Vince is one of
those guys, who I mean, he can get riled up,

(58:02):
but not real riled up, but like Vince, a kind
of like kind of chill, you know what I mean, jolly,
not not jolly like this like chill. I think he
guess one of the three songs, no, I didn't play
this one anymore.

Speaker 4 (58:19):
And Bruce with him. I always think he's rather jolly.

Speaker 3 (58:22):
Vince.

Speaker 7 (58:22):
Yeah, yeah, I love Vince. He's great.

Speaker 6 (58:25):
Vince is uh you know, Vince was the intend on
getting on the Vince tangent here. But I'm happy to
because I love Vince Cokeley. He's a member of the team.
And I always find it interesting because Vince Vince was
once the premiere male news TV anchor in town I
mean for Channel nine. He was the guy and and

(58:45):
and Beth has been the female main anchor in town
over on on on CNC, not on the same station.
But you guys, you know, can can identify with what that,
what's that? What that is? Like I've worked in a
TV newsroom for about three years. I mean, it gets
it gets hectic sometimes people are running around and it's
not you know, so what Vince is doing now is
so different from what Vince did for a long time,

(59:07):
and Vince is just like you see him and he's like,
how you doing good to see you? It's not like
how are you doing good to see you?

Speaker 7 (59:12):
He's very even cute.

Speaker 4 (59:13):
You know what. People, that's a great point. It is
very very very different. And people ask me often, and
I don't I get I get a lot of questions
about my jolliness, my happiness and laughter and how do
I stay positive? And I will say that it is
so nice to be able to laugh and to have
that part of my personality be there that it just

(59:37):
it's like a deep it's like a career deep breath.

Speaker 6 (59:39):
Yeah, And you both found your way onto this station
and you're doing shows that fit you like a glove.
Like neither one of you are. Look like I said,
I spent I spent three years working in a TV newsroom,
and the guy that was news director at that newsroom
had been a news director in the Channel nine newsroom.
And when you work in major market news environments, everything

(01:00:03):
is the most important thing you've ever heard. I mean,
that's the way TV news is, you know. And when
you meet Vince and you hear him, that's not the
way he sounds. He sounds like how you doing, friend?
And I love that about him, But when I think
about you, and you being the personality that you are
on this show doesn't fit with that environment anymore than
Vince's does. You know?

Speaker 3 (01:00:22):
So?

Speaker 6 (01:00:23):
I feel like all these years later, both of you,
because the way Vince found his way onto this radio
station is he started calling other shows, Like I remember
in here with Larson, Vince would call from time to time,
and you think that's the Channel nine news anchor. He's
digging the talk radio thing. And Vince started calling various
hosts and then slowly but Shirley started filling in. Then
he got his own show, and now here he is.

(01:00:44):
And I happened to think this fits him much better
than the TV news thing, although he was really really
good at it. This fits him. This also fits you.

Speaker 4 (01:00:52):
I did not know that that's how he ended up here.
What a great story.

Speaker 6 (01:00:56):
See behind the scenes.

Speaker 1 (01:00:57):
Why didn't you call what she did?

Speaker 6 (01:01:00):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:01:00):
I called both? Called you well, he tweeted me.

Speaker 7 (01:01:04):
Thought about moving.

Speaker 6 (01:01:05):
Yeah, he m back to where we started this segment.
What does it mean to slide into someone's DMS?

Speaker 3 (01:01:11):
That sounds like a lot of fun.

Speaker 6 (01:01:12):
I called her because I needed somebody from from Rio
who could do Olympic reports. And little did I know
that she would first of all respond because she was
a big time news anchor, because you know, you don't
have to do that when you're a big time news anchor,
but you did, and then proceeded to do daily reports
beside a dumpster in Rio, right before she was going
on the Today Show.

Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
My favorite I love your work, and you got to
see this, a hit network show. You got to see this.

Speaker 4 (01:01:37):
It happened a minute ago. My favorite day that I
worked with Bo when I was in Rio, and again
Bo and I had not met face to face ever
is we did an entire, like great ten minute interview
and then he called me back like five minutes later
and he said it didn't record, that's true. Can we
do it again? And he was nervous about asking.

Speaker 6 (01:01:56):
Me a pain in the that's a huge pain as
somebody's who's you know in Rio working on the Today
Today Show. Said Hey, we just did a great interview,
but I forgot to hit record. Can we do it again?

Speaker 4 (01:02:09):
And I was happy to do it again. I went
back out to the dumpster because it was like an
hour bus ride away from my place where I could sleep.
So I just stayed in the media center.

Speaker 6 (01:02:19):
For two But it's character revealing like that was. I
didn't know it was character revealing for maybe a future
co host, but that you know, there are things in
your life where how somebody reacts tells you all you
need to know about that person. When you said, hey,
no big deal, let's do it again. I can think
of anchors that might have said, no, I don't record
things twice, you get it the first time, or tough
you know what I mean, But my time is money.

Speaker 1 (01:02:41):
Now they actually Bill A Wiley doing that.

Speaker 6 (01:02:44):
We'll take it live, Boomer.

Speaker 4 (01:02:46):
Now that you know me, can you imagine me being
mad about having to record? Yes, I got time, but I.

Speaker 6 (01:02:51):
Didn't know that then that's true. So you know, like
I said, you find out about somebody that told me
all I needed to know about you, And look at
all these years later, here we are.

Speaker 3 (01:03:00):
In Morning dat, this is good morning beat.

Speaker 4 (01:03:05):
Give me, give me, I'll give me. I gotta tell
you as yourself.

Speaker 6 (01:03:13):
We had a board operator one time. You are making
fun because I was saying that Vince I have a
huge variety of bumpers on his show. We had a
guy who used to run the board in here. Who
when he would fill in, he played the same bumper
every time for Vince.

Speaker 4 (01:03:32):
Was it different parts of this same song?

Speaker 17 (01:03:34):
It was it.

Speaker 6 (01:03:35):
It was this without words, it's right there. And he
would come back, I mean like six breaks in a row,
and Vince would be like new just talk even I'd
be riding in the car as a Vince, are you
not sticking this song yet?

Speaker 3 (01:03:51):
All right?

Speaker 6 (01:03:52):
He is pro unflappable.

Speaker 1 (01:03:53):
Did he request that song or did he give it
to him?

Speaker 8 (01:03:55):
But that was my question.

Speaker 6 (01:03:56):
I'd be right in the you know, because I I
flipped the radio on and listened to Vince on my
way home a lot of days, and I'll be going Vince,
like one of these days, are you just gonna go Ryan?
Can you please play something else? And never happened. So
now Ryan's not here anymore. I never heard this.

Speaker 5 (01:04:10):
I do like Bruno Marsh, I mean, yeah, could you
go into some DeBarge, you know, I mean little to
the beat of the rhythm of the night.

Speaker 6 (01:04:21):
I would have been okay with that in that context,
not many contexts, but in that one. So anyway, we're
getting some feedback on this.

Speaker 7 (01:04:31):
Anyways.

Speaker 6 (01:04:35):
Yeah, let's see who who requested this. Somebody said, can
you play some Steely Dan if you're taking.

Speaker 4 (01:04:40):
A Raleigh wanted some Steely Dan? There you go.

Speaker 6 (01:04:45):
How about them apples?

Speaker 4 (01:04:46):
And Jeff says, BO knows that Black Magic Woman is
Fleetwood Mac.

Speaker 6 (01:04:50):
Well, I mean Steve mentioned the deep cut, as you said,
so that's why I played that version.

Speaker 4 (01:04:58):
And Norcott. Norcott says that our team is alchemy, pure alchemy.

Speaker 6 (01:05:05):
You says somebody said something about it that.

Speaker 4 (01:05:08):
Well, yeah, do you want to read the whole sentence?
He said, this team is the older adult version of
the original Morning Zoos of the nineteen eighties. It's Alchemy
with a big heart emoji.

Speaker 6 (01:05:17):
Well, how about this? Norcott?

Speaker 3 (01:05:25):
Stop.

Speaker 6 (01:05:37):
Okay, we're not in New York, but just trying to oblige.

Speaker 4 (01:05:39):
Well, we also just got a fantastic message from Jeff.
Jeff says, enjoying the Bumpers today, especially as you can
see our group text, and he sent us a group
text screenshot with all my buddies from high school. It's
called Santana fan It's the Santana Fan Club.

Speaker 1 (01:05:56):
Like Fantana, Oh Fantana.

Speaker 4 (01:05:59):
That's so good. Jeff says, BO. Always love your five
thousand humble brag bumpers. Thank you, they are always good
and timely. He says, Beth love your song of the day. Also,
I always enjoy the show. I travel to the Southeast
to visit customers, and I listen to you guys every
morning on the Odyssey. App enjoy the love that everybody

(01:06:20):
has on the show. Thanks for making a smile every day.
And now he says he wants to go buy santana.

Speaker 6 (01:06:26):
Jeff, I'm going to forego the santana and go back
to what is because I do think this this would
not be complete without some DeBarge. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:06:39):
So, I don't know if you guys know this, but
I worked on a cruise show and this was the
opening number of hours.

Speaker 6 (01:06:46):
Here you go, show.

Speaker 3 (01:06:48):
Like the world is hit the post the.

Speaker 4 (01:06:52):
Man and I wore a costume that looks slightly like
a lamp ship. Time to get.

Speaker 3 (01:06:57):
Step up to the street.

Speaker 6 (01:06:59):
Were the Sharro show up?

Speaker 3 (01:07:05):
All right?

Speaker 6 (01:07:06):
I can't believe I've been driven by the text line
to play de barge. Yeah, so we're basically the cruise
boat entertainment now all right, before the news, everybody altogether, now.

Speaker 15 (01:07:23):
In the mornings on your mind, Welcome to the love Boat.

Speaker 6 (01:07:30):
That's right, Gucci, Gucci, Marcus Captain, stupid.

Speaker 7 (01:07:34):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (01:07:36):
This is Good Morning BET.

Speaker 6 (01:07:42):
Eight thirty seven on News Talk eleven ten, nine, nine
to three WBT Bo Thompson, Beth Troutman Wednesday edition, and
we bring on from Winthrop University doctor Scott Huffman, who
joins us once a week talking all things politics. Good morning, sir,
Hope you're well.

Speaker 12 (01:07:58):
I am well, Hope.

Speaker 6 (01:08:01):
The school year is uh has recommenced here and uh
and and I know this is a hectic time when
you're a professor at a college or a university, so
we doublely appreciate the time. But I want to start
here with national politics, and there are a number of
headlines to get to. With President Trump. He held a
news conference yesterday, and at this time during the show yesterday,

(01:08:21):
all we knew about that news conference was that he
was had an announcement at at two o'clock, and there
had been some some talk going around about that he
hadn't been seen in public in a few days, and
and you know, wondering is he okay. You know, they've
been talking recently about some of the you know, the
color of his his hand and and then he went

(01:08:42):
on on on truth social and had you know several
uh uh you know truth postings there and then came
yesterday at two o'clock. Now, the the reason for the
meeting ended up being, uh, the announcement of the relocation
of the Space Program Hub from Colorado to Huntsville, Alabama.
But I want to go towards the Q and A session,

(01:09:03):
which President Trump does anywhere he is, he takes questions
from the media. But this plays into what I began
talking about here.

Speaker 10 (01:09:10):
How did you find out over the weekend that you
were dead?

Speaker 13 (01:09:14):
You see that?

Speaker 10 (01:09:15):
No, people didn't see it for a couple of days,
one point three million user engagements as of Saturday morning
about your demise.

Speaker 8 (01:09:22):
Really, I didn't see it. You know, I have heard
it's sort of crazy.

Speaker 11 (01:09:26):
But last week I did numerous news conferences, all successful,
they went very well, like this is going very well.
And then I didn't do any for two days, and
they said there must be something wrong with him. Biden
wouldn't do him for months. You wouldn't see him, and
nobody ever said there was ever anything wrong with him,
and we know he wasn't in the greatest of shape.

Speaker 8 (01:09:47):
No, I heard that. I get reports.

Speaker 11 (01:09:49):
Now you knew I did an interview that lasted for
about an hour and a half with somebody and everybody,
So that was on one of your competitors. I did
numerous shows and also did a number of truths long
cru so I think pretty poignant truce.

Speaker 16 (01:10:05):
Now.

Speaker 8 (01:10:05):
I was very active over the weekend.

Speaker 11 (01:10:07):
They also knew I went out to visit some people
at the at the club that I own pretty nearby
on the Potomac River. And no, I've been very active
actually over the weekend. I didn't hear that one.

Speaker 8 (01:10:18):
That's pretty serious.

Speaker 11 (01:10:20):
Well, it's fake news, you know, it's just so it's
so fake that's why the media has so little credibility.
I knew they were saying, like, is he okay, how's
he feeling?

Speaker 8 (01:10:32):
What's wrong?

Speaker 11 (01:10:33):
I said, I just left. And it's also sort of
a longer weekend. You know, it's Labor Day weekend, so
I would say a lot of people.

Speaker 8 (01:10:40):
Know I was very active this Labor Day.

Speaker 6 (01:10:42):
You know, it's a familiar refrain with President Trump by now,
you know talking about how the former president that had
never talked to people, but look at a base level,
President Trump has sort of set the expectation now that
anytime he does anything, he takes questions. So when he
deviates from that, or he's not seen for a few days,
or he doesn't have you know, four or five or

(01:11:02):
six truth social postings, people start to wonder. So it's
sort of an interesting expectation that the current president in
his second term has has put out there, don't you think.

Speaker 12 (01:11:13):
Yeah, he actually was not as active this weekend as
he normally is. He did not put out as many
true social things as usual. He was not seen out
golfing as much as he's usually expected. Now, the thing
about his death, the real media didn't pick that up
except to point out, you know, here's a silly meme

(01:11:34):
that's going around by unserious people. It wasn't something that
any legitimate media picked up on. But his health has
been in question. And one of the reasons that lingers
is if you remember when he was first running for president,
there was basically a fake letter from his physition, and

(01:11:54):
it was really from his position, but it was clear
as campaign wrote it saying, oh, all of his tests
were positive. Okay, a physician wouldn't say that because in
some tests you want a negative result. So they kind
of knew that. We also know when he was recovering
from COVID that we were not getting the full story

(01:12:14):
on that. He fully recovered, thankfully, but so that you know,
anytime there's questions about his health, it's going to be
a little bit ballooned. And that was the case here.

Speaker 4 (01:12:26):
I think a lot of people this morning, as they're
waking up, have questions about current geopolitical relationships. And since
you are a political scientist, I know that you study
the history of these relationships, how they've impacted trade and
certainly wartime throughout history. And China right now is really

(01:12:46):
flaunting their military might. They had a military parade to
celebrate the ending of World War Two, but also to
connect with Russia, and they rolled out a red carpet
for Vladimir Putin, also to connect with North Korea. There
are some new trade relationships that India has doubled down
on with China, with Russia, and certainly Vladimir Putin is

(01:13:09):
still trying to showcase his strength by continuing to attack Ukraine.
What are you seeing going on geo politically here, and
how do you see the president handling this, and how
do you see Secretary of State Marco Rubio handling this?

Speaker 12 (01:13:26):
Well, there are three aspects of that that I think
are troublesome. One was the show of might by China
that is basically kind of thumbing their nose at America
saying you better back off of Taiwan, which we have
always been saying. China says, nope. One China policy, we
may actually invade Taiwan whenever we feel like it. So

(01:13:49):
a big show of forth is driving that point home.
Another thumbing of the nose is Vladimir Putin attending as
a guest of honor you know here. He was supposed
to be negotiating with Trump, and Trump goes into that
meeting saying I'm going to get a ceasefire out of him.
Comes out of that meeting saying, you know, Putin says,

(01:14:11):
you want some land, You should give him some land.
A ceasefire is not necessary. Trump actually handed Putin a
letter from Milania saying, you know, please end this because
children are being hurt. And Putin's response was to bomb schools.
Well technically they were missiles. The third big worry about
this is India. India was going to emerge on the

(01:14:36):
global market as an alternative to China for global trade
that we wouldn't have to rely on Chinese parts. And
then Trump put a fifty percent tariff on India. And
so the fact that Modi, he didn't attend to parade,
but he was there, had one on one with, you know,

(01:14:58):
the leader of China about trade. That's not necessarily a
good thing for us when it comes to the global economy.
So there was a lot going on at that parade,
and none of it was showing any respect for America. Obviously.

Speaker 3 (01:15:14):
This is Good Morning Bet with Bo Hudson and Beth
croud Man.

Speaker 6 (01:15:24):
Nine in front of nine on WBT. It's Bow and
Beth on a Wednesday morning, third day of September and
talking to Scott Huffman from Winthrop University all things politics.

Speaker 4 (01:15:34):
You know, Scott, a few weeks ago, when the Epstein
files became pretty consistent news, we talked with you about
what might happen politically because of the Epstein files. Right now,
the Epstein files are back on the front page because
yesterday Congress released some thirty thousand pages, most of which

(01:15:55):
they were saying were already public, a lot of names
redacted from Flightless and things like that. But one of
the things that is happening on Capitol Hill today is
a press conference, and they're saying that as many as
one hundred Epstein victims will actually attend a rally and
a potential press conference today in Washington. Will this make

(01:16:17):
a difference in how this topic is discussed and with
what we see happening when we talk about Epstein, when
we talk about Gallen Maxwell? Is this going to change
anything or do you see it as a political scientist
changing anything?

Speaker 12 (01:16:33):
Well, you know, kind of there's two threads. What you know,
most of us see as decent human beings, and then
what you see politically. You know, honestly, it's about time
to hear from some of the victims. Epstein and Maxwell
engaged in human trafficking period in stop that was proven
in a court of law, and getting voices like this

(01:16:55):
out there, I think will make it more difficult politically.
You know, somebody says, hey, why don't you pardon her?
It would be difficult to say, I agree. After this
comes out, that may have a political aspect, but we've
seen no proof that that's going to happen. What it
does politically is it keeps the Epstein files in the news.

(01:17:16):
We have a lot going on in this country and
a lot of it, you know, makes Donald Trump look good. However,
the refusal to do something that he swore up and
down on the campaign trail he would fight like heck
to do, keeping it in the news is not necessarily
the best thing for the narrative that he wants to

(01:17:36):
be pushing right now.

Speaker 6 (01:17:39):
Scott Huffman joining us here on News Talk eleven ten WBT.
I want to swing things around local before we let
you go. A week from yesterday is the primary election
for city elections here in Charlotte, and that's you know,
city council, mayor the primaries, and I want to ask
you specifically about one on not necessarily who you think

(01:18:02):
is going to win, but how much something means at
this stage of the game, because you have a somewhat
unusual situation where Tark Bacary is the District sixth representative
for city council and he leaves to go work for
the Trump administration, and so the seat is open, and
while his wife wanted to be the appointee, she was

(01:18:26):
not ultimately chosen by city council and ended up being
a former city councilman, Edwin Peacock, and so Edwind Peacock
is now running for city council, but he's running at large.
And interestingly, the last time a Republican city council person
was elected in Charlotte was all the way back to
Edwin Peacock more than a decade ago. So and now

(01:18:46):
you have Christa McCary, who's the husband of tarkmacary, running
for that seat. Now the primary is a big deal
for her because she is running in a primary. Sari
Chakra is another guy that's running for the same seat
that will be decided coming up on Tuesday. Who advances
to the general election. But I'm bringing it back around
to name recognition. Uh if you you know, you're looking

(01:19:06):
at the Bakari situation and he's been on city council
for a long time. His wife ran for state office
last year, did not get elected, but she had a
fairly decent showing. And you know how much in a
situation like this like this, is that name recognition and
when you connect it to someone who's been there before?
Is that a Is that a boon for a candidate

(01:19:29):
like her? Or is does does a Does the electorate
look at it like, Okay, she didn't she didn't pay
her dues there? What do you think about this situation.

Speaker 12 (01:19:37):
Name recognition is absolutely critical in primaries especially, and when
you're talking about primaries and even some general elections and cities.
To be honest, but these are often low information affairs.
You know, a lot of folks don't watch the nash,
the city news, the local news. You know, people don't

(01:19:59):
realize that people who are listening to your show, they're informed,
they know about this. But you know, I hate to
admit this. Not everybody in Charlotte is listening to your show,
so not everybody in Charlotte is well informed. So in
these low information elections, two things happen. The most passionate
people are the ones who turn out, and name recognition

(01:20:24):
often Trump's record, because records are far less known unless
your opponent can hammer away at it fifteen twenty times,
so people remember it when they're walking into the voting booth.

Speaker 6 (01:20:37):
Now I mentioned Edwin Peacock, and again he's an interesting
case because he's running for a seat that in today's landscape,
you say, well, no Republican is going to get elected
at large or it's almost impossible. Yet he's the one
guy that can say, hey, I've done it before. It
just was a long time ago. Do you think Edwin
Peacock is up against an insurmountable wall here in the

(01:20:58):
general or do you think think a Republican, if he
plays his cards correctly, can still win at that level
of the game in Charlotte.

Speaker 12 (01:21:07):
Well, you know, insurmountable I think is the wrong term,
because God only knows what can happen between now and
an election. Much more of an uphill battle than when
he did it before, and a lot of that is
due to in migration into Charlotte. Charlotte has grown immensely
as a city and a lot of the folks coming

(01:21:28):
in are Blue voters. So it does make it more difficult,
It makes it an uphill battle, but it doesn't make
it a feutile battle. Again, his name recognition will be
there among especially long term Charlotte residents, and that could
definitely help him, whereas an unknown Republican would really have

(01:21:51):
a very little chance.

Speaker 6 (01:21:52):
Well, the good news is is the next time we
talk to you, we'll know the answer to some of
these questions, because the election will have happened next Tuesday,
And of course we'll talk to you next Wednesday and
look forward to sort of getting your take on how
things turned out, thank you so much as.

Speaker 12 (01:22:06):
Always have been counted by then.

Speaker 6 (01:22:10):
Yeah, I hope they have it because they have been
so many. You know, at a primary election, the turnout
is just be so incredible that they have to have recounts.

Speaker 4 (01:22:18):
That'd be great.

Speaker 6 (01:22:19):
Yeah. Scott Huffman, Winthrop University. He's also the founder of
the director and director of the Center for Public Opinion
and Policy Research. We always appreciate your time and expertise, sir.

Speaker 12 (01:22:30):
I'm glad to be with you.

Speaker 6 (01:22:32):
Have a good week, and like I said, he's back
at it as the students are back in class for
the fall semester and we have an hour ahead on
Good Morning BT, stay with us.

Speaker 4 (01:22:42):
Are you doing I'm thinking well, thank me up a
cup of coffee and chocolate donut with some of those
little sprinkles on top.

Speaker 8 (01:22:48):
Where you're going you're thinking?

Speaker 3 (01:22:49):
From Mew's talk eleven ten and ninety nine three WBT.

Speaker 14 (01:22:53):
Hey Sam, Practicing gratitude, manifesting abundance.

Speaker 3 (01:22:57):
This is Good Morning BET with Boat Thompson and Beds
and Trout with.

Speaker 8 (01:23:03):
Job.

Speaker 6 (01:23:04):
How straight this whole thing out?

Speaker 3 (01:23:06):
Mill of time?

Speaker 6 (01:23:10):
Six minutes past nine o'clock, final hour of Good Morning
Bet on the third day of September WBT text line
cranking them out today, driven by Liberty View at GMC.
Not just Miller Time, it's High Lifetime.

Speaker 4 (01:23:32):
A few days ago, we were talking about Miller High Life,
the Champagne of beers, being the new cocktail of choice,
that it's an indicator of a potential recession because people
are choosing to make instead of getting in Negroni or
an aparol sprits, which are you know, more expensive cocktails.
That people are buying the Miller High Life and putting
in aparol and lemon juice and making a drink called

(01:23:55):
a spaghette.

Speaker 6 (01:23:57):
Hang on a second, better, we acquaint yourself of the
High Life soldier before someone tries to take away your
Miller Time.

Speaker 4 (01:24:04):
Okay, but one of our listeners, Carrie, just sent us
a picture and she she grabbed a six pack of
Miller High Life and said she doesn't even drink beer,
but she had heard us talking about the Miller High
Life a couple of days ago, and now she has
grabbed a six pack at the hairs.

Speaker 6 (01:24:20):
Teeter, be careful of that. It might give you a buzz. Yeah,

(01:24:41):
speaking of bumpers, don't play that one. Very often, but
every once in a while it applies. Is it BuzzFeed time?

Speaker 4 (01:24:49):
Yes? I love it when BuzzFeed puts together random compilations
of things that people want to talk about, and they've
done it again, and this one, this one is not
my normal, like, oh, these are the things I want
to talk about. But social norms, social norms or even
etiquette in some cases that people now are refusing to follow.

(01:25:12):
They're just tired of the social norm and they're saying,
uh uh, I'm not doing it anymore. We're making a
new social norm.

Speaker 6 (01:25:19):
Number one, not putting your elbows on the table. I'm
gonna put them wherever I want. My mother New New News.

Speaker 4 (01:25:27):
She would be very upset about this. When we had
a big rule in my house growing up, no elbows
on the table.

Speaker 6 (01:25:34):
Same here, my mom used to flick them. Flick my
elbows if they were on the table.

Speaker 4 (01:25:38):
Yeah, my mom would like take her butter knife and
just push them off the table. Sure you might sometimes
your face might fall right into your plate.

Speaker 6 (01:25:45):
But all these years later, like when I'm around the
table at a setting, especially if you're at a gathering
and dinner is over and you're at that portion of
the dinner where you're just talking, shooting the breeze, like
the dessert's even gone, like you're there long enough that
you're just all talking. I still I don't. I'm not
saying I make judgments about people because I have been

(01:26:05):
known to put my elbows on the table, But and
I've been known to think, why did my mom think
that was such a big deal? But I still notice
it because.

Speaker 4 (01:26:13):
Of her, I notice it. You and I were at
a dinner together recently, and I was very aware of
not putting my elbows on the table.

Speaker 6 (01:26:22):
No, were you judging me?

Speaker 13 (01:26:26):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:26:26):
But you used the wrong fork, dude, Now, I'm just
kidding you. No you did it.

Speaker 6 (01:26:30):
No, no, no, no, the fork's supposed to be on the left.

Speaker 4 (01:26:33):
You work you with the napkin, you work your way
out in with. If you have multiple forks and multiple
spoons and all of those things, you work your way
out in and then dessert is above the plate.

Speaker 6 (01:26:43):
Quiet judgment.

Speaker 4 (01:26:45):
No, I wasn't judging you at all. But we stayed
at the table for quite some time in conversation, but
we didn't have our elbows. We didn't have our elbows
on the table. I'm very aware of it because of
my mother, so I sit back in a comfortable position.
But I also it can be considered rude to some
people to have your arms folded, because that means you're
not being open. So I'm very aware of that as well,

(01:27:07):
because I don't want to seem not open to conversation.

Speaker 6 (01:27:09):
So people are spilling the beans on social norms they
refuse to follow, and honestly very liberating some of these. Now,
well it's your.

Speaker 4 (01:27:20):
Turn, Okay, this one I am all about refusing to
allow myself to be photographed doing every little thing at
every little social gathering. I don't owe you the photo,
is what this post says. But there's something so true
about because it used to be you take a picture

(01:27:40):
with somebody at you on vacation or at dinner or something,
and it was a picture that you had and that
your friend had. But now you have no control where
that photo goes, and it ends up online, and then
it ends up thousands of people see it and you
have no control over I mean, if it gets.

Speaker 7 (01:28:01):
Shared, even if he gets shared. Best, no regular person's
having thousands of people, maybe you thousands.

Speaker 4 (01:28:11):
I mean, but if you by like six degrees of separation,
if you share it on a Facebook post and then
their friend shares it and then their friends.

Speaker 7 (01:28:19):
Maybe if you share a picture of me, then maybe
thousands of people will see.

Speaker 4 (01:28:21):
Right, right, thousands of people will because because of me,
but hundreds. But you have no control over my dad post.
My dad loves to post pictures, and he posted this
picture after my nephew's graduation of the whole family, and
my little brother and I were like closer to the
camera than everybody else, and the two of us look
like giant boulders compared to everyone else in the photograph.

(01:28:46):
And my little brother called me and he's like, oh,
do we do we what do we do? Do we
do we leave the picture?

Speaker 3 (01:28:52):
Do? What do we do?

Speaker 4 (01:28:53):
This is how he's calling me. So I texted my dad,
Now what do we do?

Speaker 8 (01:28:58):
What do we do?

Speaker 7 (01:29:00):
The Midwest?

Speaker 4 (01:29:00):
I text my dad and be like, all right, Dad.
It was like, we might pick a different.

Speaker 3 (01:29:04):
Now, your dad.

Speaker 6 (01:29:05):
If you take a picture with your dad and he
posts it, then thousands of people.

Speaker 4 (01:29:08):
See thousands of people see it exactly. So I get
then the not necessarily wanting to to have everything that
you do photograph.

Speaker 6 (01:29:18):
Well, some people, some people love the fact that that happens.
And that's the reason they take the photograph in the
first place. That's the social media culture. I mean there
are people look that, don't they document everything they do
on social media in the effort to get likes and
and uh and uh, you know reposts.

Speaker 4 (01:29:36):
Well, here's the question, though, because if it's a social
norm that you say, sure, of course, let's let's let's
take a picture of this dinner that we're all having,
how do you say no? That would be the question
if somebody said, hey, let's take a group photo. Can
I just can you just politely decline and bow out
of the photo?

Speaker 6 (01:29:52):
You just run?

Speaker 17 (01:29:55):
You know what you do? What I've done this offer
to take it? Yes, you volunteer to be the hu.

Speaker 6 (01:30:00):
See there's a pro tip from Sir Stephen of Anthony.

Speaker 17 (01:30:02):
Because I hate pictures of myself. I've never for some reason,
there's like one in twelve pictures that I'm in that
I'm like, oh, that's actually a decent shot.

Speaker 7 (01:30:11):
In the same way, Steve, just look at me, look
at me the whole time.

Speaker 6 (01:30:14):
Here, I just got a great shot of you. Pictures
literally just took a picture of.

Speaker 7 (01:30:20):
Wow, that's actually really close up tote.

Speaker 6 (01:30:22):
Guess what I'm gonna post it.

Speaker 5 (01:30:23):
I'm gonna post it thousand thousands of like on the
WBT account.

Speaker 4 (01:30:30):
Thousands of people can see this at one time. But
I really would like somebody to somebody else. How do you?

Speaker 3 (01:30:36):
How do you?

Speaker 6 (01:30:36):
My answer is not good enough for you.

Speaker 4 (01:30:39):
But how do you get out if if they don't
want you to take the photo but wanted you to
be in the photo, how do you get out of
being in the photo politely? If you like? That's if
this is a social norm that people are saying they
don't want to be part of. How do you politely
get out of that?

Speaker 6 (01:30:55):
We'll find out after the break And by the way,
you know, these are social norms that you people said.
You know what, I'm ignoring this. I don't care if
somebody asks how are you? I am not on the clock.
I never say fine, how are you? Or any variation
of it. That's not me. That's what the that's the BuzzFeed.

Speaker 4 (01:31:10):
That one, that one seems real.

Speaker 6 (01:31:12):
Yeah, can you imagine this when I says, hey, how
are you? I'm not on the cloth.

Speaker 4 (01:31:15):
Sorry, I'm not being paid.

Speaker 6 (01:31:16):
You talk to you, you don't get well, you know what? Okay,
hang on a second, hang on. I sat in this
very room. This is back during the Al Gardner era.
This would have been probably like late nineties. Because I
was working as a producer on the show. We had
a woman who came in and she by trade was
a radio consultant, but she came in and she was

(01:31:37):
she was auditioning to be a new member of the
team back in the day, but we all knew she
was a consultant by her day job. And we're doing
the show, and we've been doing the show for like
two hours, and I remember Al said, Hey, what do
you think of the show so far? And she said
you have to pay me for that answer, And we
thought she was joking, and she was dead serious, like, basically,

(01:31:59):
you want to know, if you want to know my
expertise on with this, what do you think of this show?
You gotta pay me because I'm a radio consultant. Didn't
see her again. The next day. We're talking about social
norms that buzzfeeders say, maybe you don't need to pay

(01:32:20):
attention to those.

Speaker 4 (01:32:21):
We're not gonna make those social norms anymore. We're gonna
unnormal We're gonna unnormalize denormalize them.

Speaker 6 (01:32:26):
Craig says. The way someone holds their fork bothers me.

Speaker 4 (01:32:31):
He says it, but bothers the live and you know
what out of him?

Speaker 6 (01:32:34):
Well, see you and you and I were raised similarly
with the elbows on the table thing. I had to
learn how to hold my fork and my spoon or
my silverware correctly. And so while everybody doesn't hold it
that way, if like, it's one of those things that
I don't really notice, but then once I notice, I
can't not notice, Like I look around the whole table,
how's that person holding them? You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (01:32:55):
Well, you guys know that I love I'm obsessed with
watching people eat. So I love to watch how people
hold four and knives and did they eat with their
fork and their knife? Do they put their knife down
after they cut each bite?

Speaker 6 (01:33:04):
Do I hold the fork the right way?

Speaker 3 (01:33:06):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (01:33:07):
Thank you?

Speaker 9 (01:33:08):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (01:33:08):
I also enjoyed watching Mick mulvaney eat the other night
when we had dinner. He kind of he does. He
has the British way of going about things, and it
was delightful to watch. I did not, but I'll tell
him when we see him. I really did love watching communities,
so it was beautiful manners My in laws were just
in town over the weekend and they wanted to go

(01:33:30):
to Outback steakhouse. So we went to out Back. I
hadn't been there in a long time. But there was
this little young couple on a date at a table
near us, and my in laws noticed how they were
holding their forks and and it was interesting because they're,
you know, my husband's parents, and you're like, well, we
taught you how to hold a fork. That boy didn't
hold a fork right, he said, he was just like
shoveling his food, and and it was troublesome to them.

(01:33:53):
It bothered them that that that the young couple didn't
have fork holding manners.

Speaker 6 (01:33:57):
Here's another one. This person says, I won't show someone
respects simply because they're older than me. Respect is earned
through action, not age.

Speaker 4 (01:34:07):
Yes, I understand the sentiment there, but I have it again.
It's my mother in my head. Just respect your elders,
hold the door, be kind. I mean, if somebody who
is older than I am is cruel to me or rude,
I might not be as respectful in return. But I mean,

(01:34:29):
in general, I feel like it's very good to respect
your elder.

Speaker 6 (01:34:33):
I think it's ingrained in most of us that you
get the respect if you're older than me unless you
show me reason why you don't deserve it.

Speaker 7 (01:34:44):
It's like a baseline that you that you start off with.

Speaker 4 (01:34:46):
Yeah, yeah, you start with respect, and then you maybe
chip away at it. Oh, sure, as you get to
know someone. I also want to put out on the
text line. I was asking about photographs. If you don't
want to be in a photograph, is there a polite
way to not be in a photograph? Because it's kind
of the social norm now that every place that you
are a picture is taken and it gets posted somewhere.
Craig said, I'll just say that if someone refused to

(01:35:09):
be in a group picture at an event or an occasion,
they would not be invited back. They would not be
invited back to an event or an occasion. So look,
there might not be a polite way to get out
of a photo.

Speaker 6 (01:35:20):
But in Steve's defense what he was saying earlier, Steve
doesn't say I don't want to be in this picture.
He says, oh, I'll take it. But my question is
stealth way not to be in the picture.

Speaker 4 (01:35:28):
But that was my question though, If you don't want
to be in the photo. How if they if no one,
if somebody else has already taken the role of being
the photo taker, and you don't want to be in
a picture, how do you get out of it? How
do you get out of being I'll do this.

Speaker 6 (01:35:40):
No, no, no, don't worry about it. No, you should
totally be in that picture.

Speaker 17 (01:35:43):
Don't worry.

Speaker 6 (01:35:43):
I'll take it.

Speaker 17 (01:35:44):
I get a better angle from being tall anyway.

Speaker 4 (01:35:46):
Oh, it works for you because you're like six hundred feet.

Speaker 7 (01:35:50):
I've never done this before.

Speaker 6 (01:35:51):
I've never done this before.

Speaker 3 (01:35:53):
I swear that was a Good Morning Bet humble brag.

Speaker 6 (01:35:58):
That was actually a pro tip. That's what that one.

Speaker 7 (01:36:01):
I can see everything that's going on down there from.

Speaker 6 (01:36:05):
My advantage, Flint, I can see everything and it's glorious.

Because we don't come into work at a normal you know,
drive to work hour.

Speaker 6 (01:37:42):
That's you're gonna say, well, I asked Craig to do that.
He says, it's uber that you go ahead and call
the uber.

Speaker 4 (01:37:47):
Oh oh, he would absolutely tell me that uber. He's
not a morning person at all.
