Speaker 1 (00:00):
Some mornings, it's tough to remember to take everything with
you out the door, your lunch, your security badge, whatever
you need to get in at work. The other mornings,
everything just seems to click. You know what the difference
is those slow mornings. You probably missed ninety three point
one WPOC The Michael j Morning Show. Hope you can

We're looking for Shania Twain. She says she's putting out
a new album. Doesn't have a date of release just yet,
but she says it's almost done. Ninety three point one WPOC.
(00:43):
So the National Championship in college football was last night,
and I was just saying to Jamie Costello, do we
have a large contingency of Hoosiers here around town? Because
first time they've ever won the national champions at football somenbelievable.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
But they have the largest living alumni of any college
in America, so.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
They've got to have thanks, gotta have Yeah, And we
were just checking out. Apparently there's a place called the
Brass Tap in Baltimore. That is suddenly the IU bar.
You know everybody, So I just wondered. I thought i'd
asked this morning, do we have who's your fans? And
hoo's your alum? Who are you know just living on
cloud now? Who's your daddy? I mean, it's all, it's
(01:24):
all in there. That's what you need to be playing
this morning. Who's your daddy? From Toby Keith? Let me
dig that one out.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
But who's excited about the game from last night? Unbelieved?
This Rnando is one?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
You know, I thought Joe Burrow with LSU and that
run he had as a raiseman.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
But this right, and now.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
He's gonna go to Vegas because they've got the number
one pick and they cannot avoid Wow, pick a miscuit
they got to pick.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, that's incredible.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
So uh, if you you had a dog in the
hunt last night, uh, you know, we'd love to hear
about it. And let's do it for uh yeah, for
Hoosiers everywhere?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Who Daddies ninety three point one w COOC ninety three
point one.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
W POC shout out to Hoosiers everywhere.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I don't know if we have any Hoosiers here in Baltimore.
But who's your daddy?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I would say the Indiana Hoosiers are the daddies of
college football.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Is it amazing what Kurt Signetti has done? Yeah, I
mean he has taken this. They've never been even close.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
No, And they're the undefeated under the number one Hoosiers
defeating the number ten Miami Hurricanes twenty seven to twenty
one in the Big Game last night in Miami hard
Rock Stadium. Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza one hundred and
eighty six yards for sixteen to twenty seven passing, had
a good game.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
He's historic. Right.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
They beat Ohio State. Yeah, they eat Miami, that's amazing.
They beat Alabama?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah? Who else you want to get in their way? Right?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
But now you're telling me that there's rumors flying around
that Vegas wants to take Lamar.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Jack said, yeah, yeah, Okay, that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
They can't.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
They cannot afford to not pick Fernando. Right, that's a
franchise changing moment.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And do you think the.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Ravens are really going to let Lamar leave? He's got
two years left in his contract. Don't do it, right, So, no,
Lamar's here Ravens fans, hold on. There's nothing to worry
about as far as we know, but we do need
a head coach.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Anybody want to apply? You know, Jamie, I can't.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I can't put the headphone ninety.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Three point one WPOC.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
So yesterday there was a lot going on, So maybe
you missed this story. And this was before we found
out we're supposed to get six to six inches to
two feet of snow this weekend. A lot of people
are crazed about that. Were Yeah, by Thursday, they're supposed
to be able to make a prediction is how much
snow we're gonna get, But we supposedly have snow.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Coming this Saturday.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Hammer's ready though, right, I got the snow hammer ready.
They're saying it's possible we could get six twelve eighteen
inches this weekend.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
You heard it first.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
So but yesterday, on Martin Luther King Junior Day, we
get a call from a woman who says the following.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
I heard you guys talking about Eggante and I.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Just had to call.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Yeah, because yesterday was Edgar Allen Poe's two hundred and
seventeenth birthday.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Go ahead, Edgar.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Allantoe, the third who was actually finally known as Pudge
lived in the summer estate of Eedgar Allantoe. The original Well.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
That's what she claimed, But after I think was Lauren
was telling us about that we have Diesel and everybody else.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Checking it out.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Apparently, according to the research I've seen as well, Edgar
Allan Poe didn't have any kids that we know of.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
We do understand that he was either living with or
married to his cousin right a thirteen year old.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
There's a lot of weird things that happened in that family.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Jerry Lee Lewis lived next door right, so anyway, but
the woman who called said that her daughter rented an
apartment from the family.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Who knows, But yesterday it happened again.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
This guy strolls in to the grave area of Edgar
Allen Poe in Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I don't know who. Do you recognize this guy? Jamie Gustallo.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
He's got a black toaster, Yeah, he's a Poe toaster.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Look at his roses. He always got roses in.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
His pocket and a glass of cognac. And he plays
the violin for Edgar Allan Poe. And it happens on
his birthday. So this was happening up until twenty eleven
when allegedly this relative punch who It's a crazy story,
isn't it you. Lauren told us that he she thought
(05:52):
he was related.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Helen Beast the Muldis. He had into city houses in
the country houses, and in the summer they stayed in
the country house. Well, the house was in Garrison Forest.
It was right just below the intersection of Garrison and Kate.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I believe that.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Her daughter lived in that house. I mean, I had
no reason not to believe her. But this whole it's
a convoluted story. But for anybody from Baltimore, I think
you've probably heard the legend of this Poe toaster.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
It's on January nineteenth, in the middle of the night. Yeah,
had on scarf on, Yeah, jacking on.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
So but this guy that showed up yesterday, this was
during the middle of the day, so he's a little confused.
I think, I don't know, But there he is playing
the violin for Edgar Allan Poe. That's a nice tribute.
I don't know the song, but you know it sounds nice.
I think this is off of Shania Twain and.
Speaker 2 (06:47):

do is play country music in it.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
I'm doing great.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
It's great to meet you too. I'm so cuoded to
be on.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
So you were on Team Reba, and I have to
tell you I'm not trying to drop names, but I've
gotten to meet Reba myself. She invited me to her house.
I had dinner one night with her and her family,
and she is the sweetest lady. So I know you
had to be just thrilled to be around her and
in her presence.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Yes, I there are one that's so and number two
she is. Seriously, she's so genuine. I grew up listening
to you know, her music, watching her show and just
loving her and really really looking up to her. So
I mean, having the opportunity to, you know, just be
around her was already cool enough for me, and then
getting to be her finalist and being coached by her
(15:18):
throughout the whole season was just, I mean, beyond what
I could have ever asked for.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
It's incredible, I bet, and for anybody who wasn't lucky
enough to watch you on the Voice, let me play
a little snippet here and give people an idea of
what you were all about.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
Aubrey's got an amazing voice, but not only is an
amazing voice, it touches your heart when you listen to
her saying a great range purity. You can understand every
word she sings. That's what Mama was always a stickler about.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
And you got it. Girl, there's Reba talking about you.
And I do have the.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Best coach in the whole wide world. Miss Freeman mclntyre,
the queen of country.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Did you hear that? Come on to America.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
You've got to vote for Aubrey. She's great, she's great.
Here's some highlights that.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Man.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I love when you sang that one.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Man, didn't you?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
And I'll bring the call? Mary?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Did you know you gave me goosebumps? Girl when you
sang that, you really did.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Thank you so much. That was such an incredible honor
to sing with her. That's one of my absolute favorite songs.
That was when they had told me that that was
the song choice. I was over the moon. That was
such a great experience and she sounded incredible.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
So Jamie Costello is here as well. Jamie, she's from Littlestown, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Beautiful. Yeah, why did you know you had it? When
did you know you found your voice? I?
Speaker 6 (17:15):
Actually that's such a I have the worst answer to
this question. I there's never been a time in my
life where I didn't know that this was what I
wanted to do. I feel like music has just always
been there and been I don't I don't know if
it's necessarily always been my goal because I couldn't say
it five years old. I was like, like, I thought
(17:37):
I was gonna be an animal cop. I thought I
was gonna be this. But there was always just that was.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
My thing, That's what I loved.
Speaker 6 (17:46):
It was my passion. And you know, once I was
old enough to realize, like, oh, that is actually what
I want to do, that was there was never any
looking back since then.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
For anyone who has a kid who is into music,
or if you are a young per and you know,
you hear songs on the radio and you think, man,
I would love to be able to do that, or
you or you see people like Audrey Nicole, Aubry Nicole.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I'm sorry, Aubring Nicole on.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
The voice, you said yourself, I want to be like Aubrey.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
You taught yourself guitar and piano yourself, so you didn't
even have a music instructor.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
In the beginning.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
I've had. I've had many many music instructors. I grew up,
I mean in high school, right, you know, I'm from
a pretty small town, so weren't a ton of musical opportunities,
but I took every chance I could to learn. I'm
a huge student. I love learning from other people.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
But did you really teach yourself guitar and piano? That's
what I heard. Is that true or not? I know, no,
that's not true. All right, well, that's fine, correct me.
I want to know.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
Yeah, I've learned from a lot of people, Okay. I
mean I went to school, so my first two years
at Belmont, I wasn't music students. Okay, so I learned
a lot here. But I've also had many incredible coaches
from home, and you know, from a couple different places
around the world. I've had some acting coaching, some singing coaching.
(19:12):
There's been you know, there's a lot of contribution that
has gone into my voice. But of course, I guess,
regardless of whether or not you're taught by someone, you
do have to teach yourself. I mean that's you know,
you can be taught something right a million times over,
but if you don't take the time to really apply
that to you specifically on your own, then you know
right well that teaching.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Doesn't go anywhere here's what I have to ask.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
So, Aubrey Nicole, you're on the stage at the Voice,
You're waiting for those chairs to turn around. How scary
is that looking at the back of those red chairs
wondering if anybody's going to turn around or not.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
Yeah, that was definitely. I think the most nervous I've
ever been in my entire life was.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
My blind audition.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
I remember standing backstage and waiting to go on, and
I was care but and then and then I heard
them call my name and I was like, what this
Like this is actually happening, Like this isn't just like
a couple of bob like hope it goes well, like.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
It has to go. Well, it's happening.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
They were walking up. Yeah, I remember walking up on
the stage and my biggest thing was like, I hope
and I'll trap up these stairs. I am so clumsey.
I was so scared. I think that was the biggest
thing I was the most nervous about, like in the moment,
which is so dumb, but you know, you cling on
to those stupid little things when you're scared, and I was.
I remember when I got up on stage and I
(20:33):
was waiting for the music, I was like praying out loud.
I was like, please let this go well, like even
if I don't get the territory, and please just let
me be proud of this performance. And as soon as
the music started, I all of those nerves were gone,
you know. It was it was a reminder of you know,
I was up there to do what I do and
what I love to do. And so, you know, the
(20:54):
music started and I started saying, I started saying, and
then I saw Reba turn around, and all of the emotions,
you know, just immediately started. Because of course, like you know,
you're so nervous going up to this and you're trying
to keep your composure as much as possible. But I,
in that moment, saw my, you know, one of my
biggest inspirations. So not only was I having my own
(21:16):
little fangirl moment, like in my brain was just like, oh,
thank God, thank god that someone turned around, because it
was just it was such an emotionally tolling process.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
That's a really sweet story. Arbrea, Nicole Dittmer, how do
you say? Your last name is Dittmer? Ditmar, Ditmar, dit Mar.
Ar Brea and Nicole Ditmar you came in fourth place
season twenty eight of The Voice. You have a lot
to be proud of. So you're still in school, You're
a kid at Belmont in Nashville. What's the next thing
(21:47):
for you? Just to graduate? And you're working on a
music career.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
And all this.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
Yeah, I'm working out. Gosh, I'm working on a lot.
I'm trying to get music out. I'm trying to perform
anywhere i can. I'm performing back home this summer. Were
singing at the Carroll County Fair, a couple of places
back home, which is gonna be really fun. I'll have
any opportunity to sing, you know, to the people who
really really supported me, that would.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
There are a couple of spots on Broadway you have
to do just the wander off Belmont's campus and I
think you can find.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
But you know what, Broadway is not the place you
need music rows where you need to be. And I'm
sure I'm sure you've already got the contacts after being
on the voys.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
That's awesome.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
Yeah, I'm back here in Nashville. Actually this summer I'm
singing at Sunday Morning Country, which is at the.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Grand All Operations.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Super excited, all right, but Yeah, like you said, a
lot of my family is back home. They grew up
in Carroll County, you know, Maryland.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I live right on the.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
Mason Dixon lines, right, which is the Maryland TA line,
So that area is so important to me, you know,
both Maryland and Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Right.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
Well, yeah, I'm just super excited to hit the ground
running now that I'm I mean, not that I couldn't
while I was on the show, but that was my
main focus.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Well, we just wanted to We just wanted to say
congratulations on all of it, and please keep my number.
You're at the station, and you know, I'm sure we're
going to be working together at some point, you know, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Arby Nicole from.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
The Voice, it was awesome talking with you and thank you.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
How cool is that about that?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
You know?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Man?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
So there you go, the future of country music right
here from Littlestown, Pennsylvania, from the PA line in Maryland,
ninety three point one, Dowdy Poc. There's Tim McGraw, the throwback,
Michael j Jamie Costello. We were talking about this weather
earlier today because a guy named Paul he said, you
sawed the National Weather Service. It's like, I don't want
(23:45):
to get you guys too traded. But it's going to
snow this weekend. So you're like, hey, let's give Justin
Burker call. So Justin the dude from the National Weather Services.
All the three computer modules are all lining up and
looks like Saturday into Sunday.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
What do you know.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Well, I'm gonna tell you there's a lot more than
three computer models. So I'm curious what he is looking at. Hey, look,
my philosophy has always been it's one thing to look
at a storm. It's going to form within a week,
and then you start refining it within five days. But
he is really the wild West. If you're gonna start
(24:22):
putting snow totals more than three days away, that's too
many factors here.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Well, justin what he said was he said, we can't
really identify the exact amount until Thursday. Thursday afternoon, he said,
But the way it's looking, because this low is coming,
he was telling us that we could really get a
lot of snow. Does that look like that's what's shaping up?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
So yes, and no, let me try to simplify it.
There's gonna be a big storm and it's gonna cross
a good chunk of the country. We're basically combining energy
from Canada and off of California. It's gonna emerge in
the middle right, and it's gonna break out a snow
an ice storm across the other planes. We're gonna watch
that Friday, and for us, the timing, uh, the track
in the totals really will determine what we get.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
And that's why you need to wait a little bit closer.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
What I can say is that there's a lot of
Arctic air.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
It's going to be.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Cold enough that whatever falls is going to stick around.
My concern really is going to be how much we get.
I do think there will be enough to plow. The
problem is going to be if we start introducing some sleeps,
especially on Del Marpa in southern Maryland. Yeah, get a
keyed into totals and that's my hesitation. But hey, plow operators,
they're they're they're singing right now because they they probably
(25:36):
have a lot of work to do, mainly Sunday and
definitely clean up through Monday.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
So in other words, we should we should start stocking
up on toilet paper and milk right now.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
I gotta get out.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Yeah, don't get the bread too early because the real
stuff goes bad too soon. But yeah, the bread and Philip.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Last. You know, I can buy a drunklet, maybe not
a year house. Yeah, my family is full of you.
So so yeah, we're gonna say we're gonna have to
stock up.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
So this is a Saturday night, Sunday event and it
could be plowables what Justin Burke is saying snow yeah,
and true story.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
In my house was literally doing the discussion this morning
that I'm gonna test my snowflower and I'm gonna go
out to a home deep Borlos and try to get
a new guest can and load up because they got
a bunch of old ones.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
That you know, justin case.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
So that's the real story here. I don't want to
scare people with totals. Whatever your Apple iPhone app. He's
telling you that he's junk. That's gonna change every twenty minutes.
I really have heard week too much. My kid tolls
me with those totals every twenty minute. He really does
he really, Dad.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
Guess what's up?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Eighteen?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Oh no, it's down the three. Yeah, And don't buy
into totals. And so I like what that guy told you.
He's right. Thursday puts us within that three day window.
Until then, just consider it's the weekend event. Maybe late Saturday,
but focused Sunday and Monday, clean up enough to plow.
The real question is if you mix in some sleep.
That's to determine if what you're measuring all right.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
That's it for the weekend. We're already hearing about it.
Some mornings, it's tough to remember to take everything with
you out the door, your lunch, your security badge, whatever
you need to get in at work. The other mornings,
everything just seems to click. You know what the difference
is those slow mornings. You probably missed ninety three point
one WPOC The Michael j Morning Show. Hope you can
(00:20):
join us every morning, but if you do happen to
miss anything, maybe you can catch it here on our podcast.
Thanks for checking in, follow, like, share, and keep listening.
We're looking for Shania Twain. She says she's putting out
a new album. Doesn't have a date of release just yet,
but she says it's almost done. Ninety three point one WPOC.
(00:43):
So the National Championship in college football was last night,
and I was just saying to Jamie Costello, do we
have a large contingency of Hoosiers here around town? Because
first time they've ever won the national champions at football somenbelievable.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
But they have the largest living alumni of any college
in America, so.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
They've got to have thanks, gotta have Yeah, And we
were just checking out. Apparently there's a place called the
Brass Tap in Baltimore. That is suddenly the IU bar.
You know everybody, So I just wondered. I thought i'd
asked this morning, do we have who's your fans? And
hoo's your alum? Who are you know just living on
cloud now? Who's your daddy? I mean, it's all, it's
(01:24):
all in there. That's what you need to be playing
this morning. Who's your daddy? From Toby Keith? Let me
dig that one out.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
But who's excited about the game from last night? Unbelieved?
This Rnando is one?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
You know, I thought Joe Burrow with LSU and that
run he had as a raiseman.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
But this right, and now.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
He's gonna go to Vegas because they've got the number
one pick and they cannot avoid Wow, pick a miscuit
they got to pick.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, that's incredible.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
So uh, if you you had a dog in the
hunt last night, uh, you know, we'd love to hear
about it. And let's do it for uh yeah, for
Hoosiers everywhere?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Who Daddies ninety three point one w COOC ninety three
point one.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
W POC shout out to Hoosiers everywhere.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I don't know if we have any Hoosiers here in Baltimore.
But who's your daddy?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I would say the Indiana Hoosiers are the daddies of
college football.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Is it amazing what Kurt Signetti has done? Yeah, I
mean he has taken this. They've never been even close.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
No, And they're the undefeated under the number one Hoosiers
defeating the number ten Miami Hurricanes twenty seven to twenty
one in the Big Game last night in Miami hard
Rock Stadium. Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza one hundred and
eighty six yards for sixteen to twenty seven passing, had
a good game.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
He's historic. Right.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
They beat Ohio State. Yeah, they eat Miami, that's amazing.
They beat Alabama?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah? Who else you want to get in their way? Right?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
But now you're telling me that there's rumors flying around
that Vegas wants to take Lamar.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Jack said, yeah, yeah, Okay, that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
They can't.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
They cannot afford to not pick Fernando. Right, that's a
franchise changing moment.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And do you think the.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Ravens are really going to let Lamar leave? He's got
two years left in his contract. Don't do it, right, So, no,
Lamar's here Ravens fans, hold on. There's nothing to worry
about as far as we know, but we do need
a head coach.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Anybody want to apply? You know, Jamie, I can't.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I can't put the headphone ninety.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Three point one WPOC.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
So yesterday there was a lot going on, So maybe
you missed this story. And this was before we found
out we're supposed to get six to six inches to
two feet of snow this weekend. A lot of people
are crazed about that. Were Yeah, by Thursday, they're supposed
to be able to make a prediction is how much
snow we're gonna get, But we supposedly have snow.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Coming this Saturday.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Hammer's ready though, right, I got the snow hammer ready.
They're saying it's possible we could get six twelve eighteen
inches this weekend.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
You heard it first.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
So but yesterday, on Martin Luther King Junior Day, we
get a call from a woman who says the following.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
I heard you guys talking about Eggante and I.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Just had to call.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Yeah, because yesterday was Edgar Allen Poe's two hundred and
seventeenth birthday.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Go ahead, Edgar.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Allantoe, the third who was actually finally known as Pudge
lived in the summer estate of Eedgar Allantoe. The original Well.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
That's what she claimed, But after I think was Lauren
was telling us about that we have Diesel and everybody else.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Checking it out.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Apparently, according to the research I've seen as well, Edgar
Allan Poe didn't have any kids that we know of.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
We do understand that he was either living with or
married to his cousin right a thirteen year old.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
There's a lot of weird things that happened in that family.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Jerry Lee Lewis lived next door right, so anyway, but
the woman who called said that her daughter rented an
apartment from the family.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Who knows, But yesterday it happened again.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
This guy strolls in to the grave area of Edgar
Allen Poe in Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I don't know who. Do you recognize this guy? Jamie Gustallo.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
He's got a black toaster, Yeah, he's a Poe toaster.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Look at his roses. He always got roses in.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
His pocket and a glass of cognac. And he plays
the violin for Edgar Allan Poe. And it happens on
his birthday. So this was happening up until twenty eleven
when allegedly this relative punch who It's a crazy story,
isn't it you. Lauren told us that he she thought
(05:52):
he was related.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Helen Beast the Muldis. He had into city houses in
the country houses, and in the summer they stayed in
the country house. Well, the house was in Garrison Forest.
It was right just below the intersection of Garrison and Kate.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I believe that.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Her daughter lived in that house. I mean, I had
no reason not to believe her. But this whole it's
a convoluted story. But for anybody from Baltimore, I think
you've probably heard the legend of this Poe toaster.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
It's on January nineteenth, in the middle of the night. Yeah,
had on scarf on, Yeah, jacking on.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
So but this guy that showed up yesterday, this was
during the middle of the day, so he's a little confused.
I think, I don't know, But there he is playing
the violin for Edgar Allan Poe. That's a nice tribute.
I don't know the song, but you know it sounds nice.
I think this is off of Shania Twain and.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Step I think maybe. So there's Thomas redd big fire
in Towson last night.

what do we have to do to make Baltimore better?
Speaker 1 (09:31):

do is play country music in it.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
That brings people right, you know, the loyalty of it.
And then you know, we were loyaled.

It's great to meet you too. I'm so cuoded to
be on.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
So you were on Team Reba, and I have to
tell you I'm not trying to drop names, but I've
gotten to meet Reba myself. She invited me to her house.
I had dinner one night with her and her family,
and she is the sweetest lady. So I know you
had to be just thrilled to be around her and
in her presence.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Yes, I there are one that's so and number two
she is. Seriously, she's so genuine. I grew up listening
to you know, her music, watching her show and just
loving her and really really looking up to her. So
I mean, having the opportunity to, you know, just be
around her was already cool enough for me, and then
getting to be her finalist and being coached by her
(15:18):
throughout the whole season was just, I mean, beyond what
I could have ever asked for.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
It's incredible, I bet, and for anybody who wasn't lucky
enough to watch you on the Voice, let me play
a little snippet here and give people an idea of
what you were all about.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
Aubrey's got an amazing voice, but not only is an
amazing voice, it touches your heart when you listen to
her saying a great range purity. You can understand every
word she sings. That's what Mama was always a stickler about.

Thank you so much. That was such an incredible honor
to sing with her. That's one of my absolute favorite songs.
That was when they had told me that that was
the song choice. I was over the moon. That was
such a great experience and she sounded incredible.

Actually that's such a I have the worst answer to
this question. I there's never been a time in my
life where I didn't know that this was what I
wanted to do. I feel like music has just always
been there and been I don't I don't know if
it's necessarily always been my goal because I couldn't say
it five years old. I was like, like, I thought
(17:37):
I was gonna be an animal cop. I thought I
was gonna be this. But there was always just that was.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
My thing, That's what I loved.
Speaker 6 (17:46):
It was my passion. And you know, once I was
old enough to realize, like, oh, that is actually what
I want to do, that was there was never any
looking back since then.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
For anyone who has a kid who is into music,
or if you are a young per and you know,
you hear songs on the radio and you think, man,
I would love to be able to do that, or
you or you see people like Audrey Nicole, Aubry Nicole.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I'm sorry, Aubring Nicole on.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
The voice, you said yourself, I want to be like Aubrey.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
You taught yourself guitar and piano yourself, so you didn't
even have a music instructor.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
In the beginning.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
I've had. I've had many many music instructors. I grew up,
I mean in high school, right, you know, I'm from
a pretty small town, so weren't a ton of musical opportunities,
but I took every chance I could to learn. I'm
a huge student. I love learning from other people.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
But did you really teach yourself guitar and piano? That's
what I heard. Is that true or not? I know, no,
that's not true. All right, well, that's fine, correct me.
I want to know.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
Yeah, I've learned from a lot of people, Okay. I
mean I went to school, so my first two years
at Belmont, I wasn't music students. Okay, so I learned
a lot here. But I've also had many incredible coaches
from home, and you know, from a couple different places
around the world. I've had some acting coaching, some singing coaching.
(19:12):
There's been you know, there's a lot of contribution that
has gone into my voice. But of course, I guess,
regardless of whether or not you're taught by someone, you
do have to teach yourself. I mean that's you know,
you can be taught something right a million times over,
but if you don't take the time to really apply
that to you specifically on your own, then you know
right well that teaching.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Doesn't go anywhere here's what I have to ask.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
So, Aubrey Nicole, you're on the stage at the Voice,
You're waiting for those chairs to turn around. How scary
is that looking at the back of those red chairs
wondering if anybody's going to turn around or not.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
Yeah, that was definitely. I think the most nervous I've
ever been in my entire life was.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
My blind audition.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
I remember standing backstage and waiting to go on, and
I was care but and then and then I heard
them call my name and I was like, what this
Like this is actually happening, Like this isn't just like
a couple of bob like hope it goes well, like.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
It has to go. Well, it's happening.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
They were walking up. Yeah, I remember walking up on
the stage and my biggest thing was like, I hope
and I'll trap up these stairs. I am so clumsey.
I was so scared. I think that was the biggest
thing I was the most nervous about, like in the moment,
which is so dumb, but you know, you cling on
to those stupid little things when you're scared, and I was.
I remember when I got up on stage and I
(20:33):
was waiting for the music, I was like praying out loud.
I was like, please let this go well, like even
if I don't get the territory, and please just let
me be proud of this performance. And as soon as
the music started, I all of those nerves were gone,
you know. It was it was a reminder of you know,
I was up there to do what I do and
what I love to do. And so, you know, the
(20:54):
music started and I started saying, I started saying, and
then I saw Reba turn around, and all of the emotions,
you know, just immediately started. Because of course, like you know,
you're so nervous going up to this and you're trying
to keep your composure as much as possible. But I,
in that moment, saw my, you know, one of my
biggest inspirations. So not only was I having my own
(21:16):
little fangirl moment, like in my brain was just like, oh,
thank God, thank god that someone turned around, because it
was just it was such an emotionally tolling process.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
That's a really sweet story. Arbrea, Nicole Dittmer, how do
you say? Your last name is Dittmer? Ditmar, Ditmar, dit Mar.
Ar Brea and Nicole Ditmar you came in fourth place
season twenty eight of The Voice. You have a lot
to be proud of. So you're still in school, You're
a kid at Belmont in Nashville. What's the next thing
(21:47):
for you? Just to graduate? And you're working on a
music career.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
And all this.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
Yeah, I'm working out. Gosh, I'm working on a lot.
I'm trying to get music out. I'm trying to perform
anywhere i can. I'm performing back home this summer. Were
singing at the Carroll County Fair, a couple of places
back home, which is gonna be really fun. I'll have
any opportunity to sing, you know, to the people who
really really supported me, that would.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
There are a couple of spots on Broadway you have
to do just the wander off Belmont's campus and I
think you can find.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
But you know what, Broadway is not the place you
need music rows where you need to be. And I'm
sure I'm sure you've already got the contacts after being
on the voys.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
That's awesome.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
Yeah, I'm back here in Nashville. Actually this summer I'm
singing at Sunday Morning Country, which is at the.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Grand All Operations.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Super excited, all right, but Yeah, like you said, a
lot of my family is back home. They grew up
in Carroll County, you know, Maryland.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I live right on the.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
Mason Dixon lines, right, which is the Maryland TA line,
So that area is so important to me, you know,
both Maryland and Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Right.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
Well, yeah, I'm just super excited to hit the ground
running now that I'm I mean, not that I couldn't
while I was on the show, but that was my
main focus.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Well, we just wanted to We just wanted to say
congratulations on all of it, and please keep my number.
You're at the station, and you know, I'm sure we're
going to be working together at some point, you know, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Arby Nicole from.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
The Voice, it was awesome talking with you and thank you.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
How cool is that about that?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
You know?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Man?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
So there you go, the future of country music right
here from Littlestown, Pennsylvania, from the PA line in Maryland,
ninety three point one, Dowdy Poc. There's Tim McGraw, the throwback,
Michael j Jamie Costello. We were talking about this weather
earlier today because a guy named Paul he said, you
sawed the National Weather Service. It's like, I don't want
(23:45):
to get you guys too traded. But it's going to
snow this weekend. So you're like, hey, let's give Justin
Burker call. So Justin the dude from the National Weather Services.
All the three computer modules are all lining up and
looks like Saturday into Sunday.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
What do you know.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Well, I'm gonna tell you there's a lot more than
three computer models. So I'm curious what he is looking at. Hey, look,
my philosophy has always been it's one thing to look
at a storm. It's going to form within a week,
and then you start refining it within five days. But
he is really the wild West. If you're gonna start
(24:22):
putting snow totals more than three days away, that's too
many factors here.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Well, justin what he said was he said, we can't
really identify the exact amount until Thursday. Thursday afternoon, he said,
But the way it's looking, because this low is coming,
he was telling us that we could really get a
lot of snow. Does that look like that's what's shaping up?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
So yes, and no, let me try to simplify it.
There's gonna be a big storm and it's gonna cross
a good chunk of the country. We're basically combining energy
from Canada and off of California. It's gonna emerge in
the middle right, and it's gonna break out a snow
an ice storm across the other planes. We're gonna watch
that Friday, and for us, the timing, uh, the track
in the totals really will determine what we get.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
And that's why you need to wait a little bit closer.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
What I can say is that there's a lot of
Arctic air.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
It's going to be.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Cold enough that whatever falls is going to stick around.
My concern really is going to be how much we get.
I do think there will be enough to plow. The
problem is going to be if we start introducing some sleeps,
especially on Del Marpa in southern Maryland. Yeah, get a
keyed into totals and that's my hesitation. But hey, plow operators,
they're they're they're singing right now because they they probably
(25:36):
have a lot of work to do, mainly Sunday and
definitely clean up through Monday.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
So in other words, we should we should start stocking
up on toilet paper and milk right now.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
I gotta get out.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Yeah, don't get the bread too early because the real
stuff goes bad too soon. But yeah, the bread and Philip.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Last. You know, I can buy a drunklet, maybe not
a year house. Yeah, my family is full of you.
So so yeah, we're gonna say we're gonna have to
stock up.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
So this is a Saturday night, Sunday event and it
could be plowables what Justin Burke is saying snow yeah,
and true story.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
In my house was literally doing the discussion this morning
that I'm gonna test my snowflower and I'm gonna go
out to a home deep Borlos and try to get
a new guest can and load up because they got
a bunch of old ones.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
That you know, justin case.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
So that's the real story here. I don't want to
scare people with totals. Whatever your Apple iPhone app. He's
telling you that he's junk. That's gonna change every twenty minutes.
I really have heard week too much. My kid tolls
me with those totals every twenty minute. He really does
he really, Dad.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
Guess what's up?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Eighteen?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Oh no, it's down the three. Yeah, And don't buy
into totals. And so I like what that guy told you.
He's right. Thursday puts us within that three day window.
Until then, just consider it's the weekend event. Maybe late Saturday,
but focused Sunday and Monday, clean up enough to plow.
The real question is if you mix in some sleep.
That's to determine if what you're measuring all right.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
That's it for the weekend. We're already hearing about it.

Love Trapped
Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
