The Laurie DeYoung Show Podcast - October 15, 2024

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, welcome to the Lori de Young Show podcast. If
you missed our show today, we're sorry about that, but
here are some highlights for you. Be sure to catch
it tomorrow every weekday morning from five till ten, or
on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Today's Best Country ninety three point one w POC Baltimore
Now top stories at the top of the hour.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
We're going to be trending cooler over the next few days. Say,
we'll see a high temperature around fifty nine degrees with
partly sunny skies, maybe a slight chance of some rain
later today.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
That's really going to depend on where you live.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Tomorrow, more sun but also cooler, with a high around
fifty seven degrees. We might not see sixty again until Friday.
But the good news says we've got a really nice
weekend coming our way. Saturday and Sunday are both looking
beautiful right now. The parent company of seven to eleven
has announced plans to close four hundred and forty four
locations of the chain across North America. The company sites
slower customer traffic, declining cigarette sales, and inflation as the

(00:52):
cause for this. The CEO says they do plan to
expand fresh food options as competitors like wah Wah and
Sheets keep getting high marks from customer as well. Seven
to eleven has been scoring below the industry average out
of four nan forty fore closures represent about three percent
of the company store, so it's not a massive drop
for them. But I don't see a particular list of
where the closures are coming from, so I don't know
if any of those are going to be here in

(01:12):
our area, but we'll let you know if they are.
And Federal disaster workers paused and then changed some of
their hurricane recovery efforts in North Carolina. They've stopped their
door to door visits after receiving threats that they could
be targeted by militia. The threats emerged over the weekend,
specifically in Rutherford County in western North Carolina, one of
the harder hits area after Hurricane Helene. The local sheriff's
office said that they have arrested one person so far,

(01:34):
a forty four year old man who was making comments
about possibly harming employees of FEMA. He was charged with
quote going armed to the terror of the public. FEMA
has faced countless threats after rampant disinformation has been circulated
by political officials and social media. There were also reports
from National Guard troops in the western North Carolina area
that they had encountered a quote armed militia, saying they
were quote out hunting FEMA. Unfortunately, all this does help

(01:56):
slow relief efforts for those that need it the most
in that area. So just unfortunate situation going on there.
That's a news update, all right.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Coming up on your brief, Bethany.

Speaker 5 (02:03):
I've got a couple of awkward situations that happened to
celebrities recently. Okay, the little cringe worthy plus a show
from the eighties is coming back, and I'm all excited
about it.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
All right, I can hear the smile on your voice.
Here's Dustin Lynch as far as I can, Betty ninety
three point one, w were Ella Langley with Riley Green.
It is ten minutes after six.

Speaker 6 (02:30):
I keep us in the loop of entertainment and pop
culture and the things we shouldn't care about, But somehow
we really knew ace Bethany Brief on ninety three point one.

Speaker 5 (02:41):
The other day we talked about Elon Musk's Optimus robots.
They can walk, talk, dance, serve drinks. They also look
strikingly similar to the robots in the two thousand and
four sci fi movie I Robots, and it wasn't lost
on the director.

Speaker 7 (02:58):
He actually put on.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
Pictures of his robots and Elan's robots, and the caption said, Hey, Elan,
can I have my designs back please? And then another
filmmaker from the movie chimed in with a full fingered
couple of you know, expletives.

Speaker 7 (03:16):
Yes, So, I don't know. I saw the picture.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
They really do look exactly like the Eye Robot, even
like the robotaxis look like the vehicles from Eye Robot.
Like it looks like he watched I Robot one night,
was like, Hey, I think you guys should design all
my stuff to look like this.

Speaker 7 (03:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
Yeah, so, And I hope that they get some sort
of credit for that. I don't know how that works,
But children of the eighties prepare for a blast of
rainbow colored nostalgia. Hallmark has announced that they're developing a
new TV series and feature film inspired by the eighties
children's franchise franchise Rainbow Bright. Oh man, I know I'm

(03:55):
excited about that. My very first birthday party was a
Rainbow bright party. I know, Shoe Exotic is optimistic about
being released next year.

Speaker 7 (04:05):
He's spent at prison this whole time. Who knew sounds
like the pandemic.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
His attorney thinks that he'll get out based on some
new evidence, and I don't know, we'll see. He wants
to lecture about his knowledge on you know, animals at colleges.

Speaker 7 (04:22):
I'm like, I don't know, what if you showed.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
Up at a lecture hall and show Exotic was the speaker,
I don't think so. In a video circulating online, Nicole
Kidman and Selma Hayek had a brief, tense moment at
a Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week. Have you guys
seen this video? It looks I don't know, they kind
of exchange. It looks like a heated situation. But there's

(04:47):
both of them are saying that it wasn't awkward, but
it definitely looks awkward.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
What could those two have to be mad at each
other about.

Speaker 7 (04:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (04:54):
It's just look like they have a little spat, like
a little sisterly spat. And then lastly, you think that
famous people get into anywhere they want to go, right,
But Cara Delavine went to SNL the other day for
the taping. She had a ticket mix mix up, and
they they made her leave.

Speaker 7 (05:11):
They're like, we don't care. If you're a supermodel, you
got to go.

Speaker 5 (05:13):
So she was not able to watch the taping of
SNL and there's a video and she looks pretty disappointed.
So guess she models just can't get into anywhere they like.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
I guess not.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Guess that makes all us regular people feel better?

Speaker 5 (05:27):
Yeah, I think so, Yeah, or I don't feel bad
for her. She thought she had tickets, but she didn't.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Coming up here in a minute. I don't know. You
guys don't have any twenty something kids, But if you
do and you've had to move back in after they've
moved out, question is have you had to set some boundaries.
I read an article about this the other day, so
we're gonna talk about that next. We do have a
partly sunny forecast. Temperatures are going to near sixty today,

(05:55):
but right now it's forty two ninety So the number
one country song this week that's Post Malone. I'm like
Shelton ninety three point one WPOC. So we're talking about
having your twenty something child move back in with you.
Either they didn't go away to college, or they didn't

(06:17):
then they wanted to come home for a while. Did
either one of you guys move back home after college?

Speaker 4 (06:22):
I did not.

Speaker 7 (06:23):
I did for a few months.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
You did.

Speaker 7 (06:24):
It's probably about six months.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Once I left. That was it. I didn't come back.
My parents weren't inviting me back. I was like, I
mean they I'm sure they would have let me go
back home, but I just that was it. I kind
of felt like once I had been, you know, the
taste of freedom, then you're kind of done.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
Mine was such a spur of the moment thing.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
Like we got to graduation day of college and I
was like, yeah, I don't I don't know what I'm
gonna do. Does anybody have a place for me to live?
And one of my rooms was like, yeah, I just
bought a house. You want to rent the room. I
was like, sure, I'll do that. In the next day,
I moved into his.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
I didn't. I had no plan for after graduating college.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
All right, Well, there was an article recently and a
parent coach, which I didn't really know. I know, there
are life coaches or a lot of different kind of
coaches but this one calls themselves a parent. Coach was
just talking about what it's like and how important it
is to have some rules, some boundaries, things to talk
about before you agree to having them back home. Let's see,

(07:21):
here's a few things, she said. Your twenty year old
daughter does not need a curfew. She does need to
communicate whether or not she's coming home that night. At night,
your twenty four year old son needs to do his
own laundry. He also needs to move it from the
washer to the dryer and then back to his room
in a timely manner. Let's see, you don't need to

(07:42):
count the number of beers in your fridge, but your
adult kids should buy their own alcohol and drink responsibly.
And yes, they should probably stop at the grocery store
sometime to contribute to what's going on. They're eating the
food they should be helping out. She said. If you're
not coming to an agreement on what should be done,
or what is happening or not happening, or what's supposed

(08:04):
to be happening, then you need to sit down together
and talk about it, because you can't expect people to
read your mind as to you know, I think it
only happened to us once, and it was just for
a few months after college, our middle child came home
for a little bit. It wasn't long after somebody asked
him to come and live at their place. But it

(08:25):
was the only thing that was odd. We never had
rules or anything when you came back, but because he
would stay out late and because of my schedule going
to bed early, and he would come home in the
middle of the night and then the dogs would be barking.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Sure, So that was just a little like, hey, we're
going to have to do something here. That's waking me
up every time. So we did talk. I remember having
a little bit of a conversation about that, but it,
you know, we didn't have a ton of boundaries. He
was always pretty good at doing his own laundry.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
I do you remember coming home like in the summertime
between semesters, and yeah, I can remember basically a freshman
year going home and having like a curfew, And I
was like, you've got to be joking, Like, I'm nineteen
now and I've been gone for you know, almost a year,
be where I could do whatever I wanted and I
wasn't like trying to abuse the situation. But I was like,
you can't tell me I got to be home by ten, Like,

(09:15):
I don't think that's really good.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
What's funny is my parents after because I lived home
a couple of summers when I was in college, and
my folks never had a curfew. Then I had it
growing up. I had it in high school, but I
don't think there was I wasn't thinking about anything I
wanted to do late at night. I was always working,
so even in the summer, you know, even in the summertime,

(09:39):
I was making money for going back to school. So
I just don't remember ever going, oh gee, I wish
I could stay out till three. I never had that.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
Yeah, I never really had that either.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
But at the same time, like you know, I don't
know if friends wanted to go see the nine o'clock
movie and I was like, well, I'm not going to
get home till eleven or eleven thirty, you know, like
little things like that, and I was like, all right,
Mom and daut we got to have a little green.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (10:01):
I can't go from having no rules to like coming
home and having all the rules right, right.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
My folks moved when I was in college, and so
it was a different city, so when i'd come home
in the summer, I didn't really know anybody to go
hang out with, like just people from work. Sure, but
and I did do a little bit of that. I
had a good friend there, but it was like I
didn't really have any big social life when I was
home because I didn't know I had no friends there.

(10:27):
All right, if you've had the situation at your place,
I did put it up on our Facebook. If you've
had to make some rules or set a few boundaries
for your twenty somethings son or daughter when they moved back,
we'd love to hear about that how it went. You
can text us seven seventy nine six y two, just
start with higher hay let us know. Or you can

(10:47):
call us eight hundred three two one thirty six ninety three,
or just post something up on our Facebook and tell
us what it was like at your place. There's Jordan
Davis with Next Thing you Know, I swear that you
stay in saying the next thing you Know you meet.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
A girl at a bar and.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Salabama ninety three point one WPOC. We've got Morgan Wallen
ready to go. Did you get any text methany about
having a adult child moved back home. All right, we
should remind everybody that there are chances, thirteen of them
today to win one thousand dollars. If you haven't heard

(11:36):
about our wind Piles of Cash contest, it is so easy.
I'm just telling you because you don't. You know what
if it takes what maybe fifteen seconds to hear that
keyword and then go to our website and you just
put it up there, and if you know you could
win one thousand dollars, and with thirteen chances to do
that today, I'd say that puts your odds pretty good. Yeah,

(11:58):
probably win, all right, twenty is your first chance to
win in that's every hour on the twenties after that
for you know, another twelve times. We do have a
partly sunny day. Temperatures are going to be up around
sixty this afternoon and from a low forties this morning.
You're glad you're listening. Thank you for that. Here's Morgan

(12:19):
walland and you proof ninety three point one WPOC havn't
do It's Dylan Marlowe with Dylan Scott ninety three point
one WPO.

Speaker 6 (12:35):
See.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
We'll get to Kenny Chesney here in just a minute.

Speaker 8 (12:38):
But first it's Nashville News Now with Saint Pierre on
ninety three point one WPOC.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
Who comes in Nashville Bar has an opening date now.
The bar named Category ten, will open its doors on
November two. The massive bar features five separate entertainment spaces,
so you're going to have the central Honky Talk with
two bars in a retail shop, and you've got Herhurricane Hall,
which is designed to hold up to fifteen hundred guests
for ticketed concerts. There's an elevated bourbon lounge called the Still,

(13:06):
and there's the five leaf Clover sports bar filled with
televisions for game watching. And of course, because it's Nashville,
you've got to have the rooftop bar, So he's got
the Eye, a seven thousand square foot rooftop. I'm thinking
about this. I wonder if he was catching any heat. Lely,
because of all the Hurricane game around the bar.

Speaker 7 (13:22):
It does seem a little ill timed.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Yeah, I mean, I guess you can't plan for these
kind of things, but yeah, I know, that's kind of interesting.
The opening up the bar will line up nicely for
when Luke gets his star on the Music City Walk
of Fame Luke's having his ceremony on Wednesday, October thirtieth.
The bar is opening on the second, so that's going
to be a big week for Luke comes Downs.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
Yeah, and fans.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
At the Tennessee College football game over the weekend had
a new experience. So for years, in the fourth quarter
of the game, the fans will all sing along to
Garth Brooks's Friends in Low Places, but this weekend they
sang Morgan Wallen's first single, which is called The Way
I Talk. So even though the switch comes as Garth
that's facing sexual cell allegations, it wasn't because of that,
they say. Apparently fans have been petitioning to get a
more current song. I mean, even though everybody knows Friends

(14:05):
in Low Places, it didn't come out in nineteen ninety. Plus,
Garth doesn't have any ties in the University of Tennessee.
And meanwhile, Morgan Wallan grew up in Knoxville. We know
how much of a fan he is, so it's kind
of fitting that they would switch it to a Morgan
Wallan song. I thought it was kind of an interesting
choice of this song because not as many people know
that one, given that it was his first single that
he ever put out, but he does have the line

(14:25):
in the song called cheering on the Volunteers. I think
that was their goal to throw that one in there.
So yeah, I know a lot of people are buzzing
about the removal of Garth's song, but they say has
nothing to do with the issues that Garth is facing
outside of that.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
Right there you go.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
All right, So Kenny Chesney to wake up on a Tuesday.

Speaker 8 (14:44):
Here's get along, mad Man where Tea Saday's Best Country
ninety three point one w POC Baltimore now top stories
at the top of the hour.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
Yeah, he takes.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
The NFL season wrapped up last night with an a
the East battle between the Bills and the Jets. Buffalo
snap its two game losing streak with a twenty three
to twenty win over New York that improves Buffalo's record
to four and two, while the Jets fall to two
and four. The Ravens, they're making some headlines, unfortunately not
for their play. This one's for the fans. A video
has gone viral allegedly showing a Ravens fan assaulting two
fans of the Commanders. The short video was recorded in

(15:20):
fed Hill and posted online after the Ravens beat the
commanders on Sunday. Police say they are aware of the video,
but if not received reports about the incident, which seems
to show the Ravens fan walking up to the victims
outside a cross street market and assaulting them. With information
about the incident is asked to contact the Baltimore Police
or Metro crime stopper in a city of Anapolis is
bringing back free parking for the holidays. The free downtown

(15:42):
parking program begins Friday, November twenty ninth, or Black Friday,
and runs until New Year's Day. Drivers parking at any
metered or kiosk space in downtown Napolis using the park
Mobile app will get two hours free, and using the
app at the Hillman Garage means the first hour is
free again. This picks back up on Black Friday, and
it's a good way to try to boost some business
over there in downtown Napolis, says people are going out

(16:02):
there shopping and getting some food and all that.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
So good, good idea. I think that's a uese update.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
All right, we've got your tickets. Lily Row She's gonna
be at Ramshead Live October twenty fifth. If you want
to go to the show. Here's your chance. We've got

I am not okay, I am not okay. I'm let's

(16:38):
say I'm a hunt nine minutes after eight o'clock.

Speaker 6 (16:42):
I keep out in the loop of entertainment and pop
culture and the things we shouldn't care about, but somehow.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
We really do.

Speaker 6 (16:49):
As three on ninety three point one poc.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (16:53):
So, Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson have signed on to
star in the musical drama song Sung Blue, which tells
the story of a Neil Diamond tribute band.

Speaker 7 (17:04):
I can't tell if it's like a parody movie.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah, when they said a tribute band, yeah, wants a
story about that.

Speaker 7 (17:13):
It could be like, you know, like the wedding singer
or something.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
You know, we already had a classic movie about a
Neil Diamond tribute band that's called Saving Silverman. And if
you don't know what I'm talking about, look it up
and do yourself a favor.

Speaker 7 (17:25):
Do it.

Speaker 5 (17:26):
This weekend, Anthony Hopkins will star in Maserati The Brothers,
an English language biopic about the family between behind the
high performance automobiles that Italy is known for.

Speaker 7 (17:40):
I like him. I'm cool with that.

Speaker 5 (17:43):
Jason Watkins, who was recently in The Crown, is going
to star in Catch You Later. That's a new cat
and Mouse type thriller, So that could be good. Donald
Trump has chimed in with a review of The Apprentice.
That's the new movie that chronicles his early days in
realism date He gives it a thumbs down, specifically called

(18:03):
it a disgusting hatchet job.

Speaker 7 (18:05):
It's in theaters now if you want to judge for yourself.

Speaker 5 (18:08):
As the seventy six on Rotten Tomatoes, QVC, known for
their home shopping networks on TV, has signed a new
deal with USA Pickleball to bring the sport to all
of its platforms.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
To QVC, that's great.

Speaker 5 (18:21):
Yeah, yeah, they're gonna broadcast the pickleball games.

Speaker 7 (18:25):
That sounds terrible.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
They'd be selling items on the corner of the street.

Speaker 5 (18:29):
Yes, call now for this racket set. And then lastly,
this is mind blowing. A British professor named Simon Holland
is promising a major announcement regarding extraterrestrial life in the
coming weeks.

Speaker 7 (18:45):
He is i guess a pretty notable scientist.

Speaker 5 (18:49):
He's collaborated with NASA on a few different projects, and
he says an alien civilization has been found in our
galaxy and will be confirmed very soon. He says it's
going to be the biggest announcement in the history of
the world. Wow, it's going to coincide with the US election,
and because he'll do it in a British accent, it
will definitely be believable. I don't know, So what do

(19:12):
you guys think? Do we have aliens or nah?

Speaker 4 (19:15):
I don't know. I don't buy it, but I don't
neither never know.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
A skeptic type.

Speaker 7 (19:20):
I think it's I'm with Simon.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Okay, all right, there it is Bethany's was Simon.

Speaker 7 (19:26):
Texas seven seven nine to sixty two.

Speaker 5 (19:28):
Begin your message with higher, Hey are there aliens among us?

Speaker 4 (19:32):
And also how much did you love saving Silverman?

Speaker 3 (19:35):
And can also touch us about that too, Jason Biggs
height of his career, his storied career.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yes, yes, I hear. In a few minutes. Whise Markets
have been kind enough to give us some gift cards,
so we're giving those away all this week, So we'll
have a trivia question for you we've got a partly
sunny forecast, very fall like temperatures near sixty this afternoon,
it's forty two now. Sadly it's Morgan Wallen ninety three

(20:05):
point one w POC. I always think it's funny when
you kind of come across something that's just been stuck
in your head since maybe you were a kid. You
learned it to music when you were a kid, to memorize,
you know, some facts for a test or whatever. And
the other night, we were out to celebrate my husband's birthday,
so all of our kids were with us, and when

(20:27):
they were I can't remember what exactly we were talking about,
but somebody quoted something and I said, you do know
that's a Bible verse originally, that that's where they got
that from. And so my daughter and her oldest brother
were singing this song. Apparently when they were kids at
our church, there was some rap song to teach you

(20:49):
the books of the Bible. Okay, So they both started
singing this in the restaurant and it was pretty funny
and they had it down like they knew. Those kids
haven't sung that song in years, yeah, twenty five years probably,
but it was just amazing, like they still have in
their head, and they were just laughing about it. It was

(21:10):
just kind of a funny thing, and I thought, you know,
we all have something like that that all we have
to do is just oh yeah, just click and it's
right there. Do you guys have memorization like that something
maybe you learned a long time ago.

Speaker 5 (21:24):
I remember learning the States the see the Alphabet song
for the States. Yeah, and sometimes I'll even be like
like run it back, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, if
I'm trying to figure out you know, yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
No, I know my ABC's tell me what. Yeah, I
remember learning ABC's to music. What about you say to me?

Speaker 3 (21:46):
I feel like the ABC song that's common. Yeah, that's
pretty common. It just sort of flows in that way.
Although I have notice as my daughter has been watching
different things and we're seeing different things for kids stuff now,
like I always used to think it was funny, elam
know kind of sounded like its own letter, like when
you're doing the ABC's l M n O. So I
noticed now and the songs they slow it down where

(22:06):
they like, so it doesn't have the same flow that
we had was like lmnop like it was. It's like
l M and like they think I emphasize each one.
I'm like, oh, that's interesting that they've changed that. Like
I wonder if they had issues where kids like we're
not getting it right. I don't know, so yeah. But
other than that, like I don't remember ever learning a
state song, like some people knew like a president's song,
and I was like, I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
Well, I wish I knew that song.

Speaker 7 (22:29):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
Like I joke with my wife about this sometimes because
she'll be like, you don't know, and I'm like, does
it matter, Like does it matter to me who the
twelfth president was? Because I don't think it matters in
my daily life. I'm never going to be asked that.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Question of like if you're watching Jeopardy or yeah, but
like I'm not on Jeopardy.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
If I were on it and I could win money,
that would be essential, But I'm watching from my couch.

Speaker 4 (22:49):
I don't care.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
My husband and I will like get into those answers quick.
We want to see who can do it first. I
don't know my president's in the right order. I can
tell you, yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:58):
I mean a good friendly competition. It's fun below it's not.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Gonna break didn't change your life, gonna be okay, sis
ipp I.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
Oh there, okay, now that you say that that there
is one that's really stupid. Remember they'll be Babes in Toyland. Yeah, okay,
so old movie, but that's They made a sequel in
like the late eighties or early nineties, and Drew Barrymore
was in it. But they made a sequel to Babes
and Toiland and it starts in Cincinnati. They're at like
some I don't know toy store in Cincinnati and in
the car they're singing a song. This is how I

(23:26):
know how to spell Cincinnati because in the song they
say C I N C I N N A t
I Cincinnati. They still have that in my head from
watching this stupid, terrible sequel from like forty years ago.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
I be four e except after C. I mean with
the little things that you memorize, you know, in school.
I think especially I know somebody there is one about dates,
historic dates, but I can't remember what that is because
we've we've talked about this on our show before. Somebody
will always come up with something like that, like sailed
the Ocean Blue in sixty there's oh yeaheah there's.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
That, there's and you all spelled bananas by humming the
Gwen Stefani song like I know it. You all do
that be a na nas. That's exactly how everybody spells bananas.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Now, well, we'd love to hear what yours is. It's
just locked in your brain. You memorized it years ago
and for whatever reason, it just stay stays there.

Speaker 6 (24:21):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
You can call us eight hundred three two one thirty
six ninety three to tell his yours or text us
seven seventy nine sixty two. Just start with higher hay
and let us know what's locked in your brain.

Speaker 4 (24:34):
There's justin mord they had hard work.

Speaker 6 (24:38):
Cake done is over oulse it comes out out of you.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
I do you Gallo Gallotever.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
I'm sad Brown Band ninety three point one WPO. See
we'll get to Nate Smith here in just a couple
of minutes. But Saint Pierre had kind of a cool
opportunity over the weekend.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
Yeah, some of these opportunities come up through this job
and through the work that I do, where I get
kind of invited to go see artists perform in different
places where record labels want you to see their artists
and lets say this is going to be a cool moment.
We're going to invite a bunch of people out to
come do this. So I got invited to go out
to Denver and go to Red Rocks to see this
guy with the name of Cowetzel. Yeah, which I think

(25:24):
he's He's a Texas artist, so I know there's a
lot of people that do know him and are big
fans of his, but like he hasn't. He's like, he'll
sell like forty fifty thousand tickets at a venue in Texas,
but when he comes over here. He played the Anthem
not too long ago, which is like six thousand, so
still doing very well, but he's not quite as big,
you know, here in the northeaster or on the East
coast as he is in Texas. But man, oh man,
I'll tell you, like watching watching a rabid fan base

(25:47):
at a venue like Red Rocks was just was insane.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
And so it wasn't a private thing. This was something
that was a huge crime.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
So sold out show as one of the dates on
his tour. They just the recordab bought up, you know,
thirty forty tickets and invited a bunch of people to
come out and witness it.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
And that's so fun.

Speaker 4 (26:05):
Yeah, it was pretty wild. And just to see that.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
I know, everybody says that, what's the place in Nashville
that I can't The Rhyman is the mother Church of music,
But I don't know that to me means they haven't
been to Red Rocks, because that.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Place is lat Yeah, none other.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
I mean just standing there, like sitting in the seats
or you know whatever you want to call them, the balcony,
and you're just like looking out at the venue. But
then also behind the venue is like the lights from
the city and you're just surrounded by these huge rocks
and mountains and everything, and it was just it's so
hard and difficult to put it into words because we've all.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Seen photos of it, but to actually be there.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Yeah, and you hear about everybody that plays there, you know,
they all talk about how it's such a special place
to play. And I spent one of the artists as
Treaty Oak Revival, one of the opening acts, I sat
or stood at the very top, like the very back row,
and just I was like, I want to hear it
because everybody says how special it sounds at this place,
and it was like, being as far away as I
was that I could barely see anything going on on

(27:02):
the stage, it still sounded like I was sitting in
the second row of the venue, like it was just
such an awesome thing. So I would highly suggest to
anyone if you ever get an opportunity to go see
a concert. Really, anybody, just go see a show at
Red Rocks. It is truly an experience.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah, it's on a lot of people's bucket list. I
know that. I've heard people say, well, there's one thing
I want to do.

Speaker 4 (27:22):
Yeah, we're gonna go back.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
My wife and I are going back next summer, and
my friend's band is doing like a special night there
next July.

Speaker 4 (27:27):
So I think we're gonna do it. We're gonna make
the trip out and go see it to really do
it again.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Absolutely, I'm so glad. I'm happy for you.

Speaker 6 (27:36):
Girling.

Speaker 7 (27:37):
You calling quiz you could have around.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
Today's Best Country ninety three point one w POC Baltimore
now top stories at the top of the hour.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
All right, So, Toy Insider is back with an updated
version of their Hottest Toys of twenty twenty four lists.
So if you're a parent, these may end up on
your child's list this year. I'm certainly keeping an eyeball
on these. Now, look at some of the most popular toys.
You've got the Fat Brain Toys, Play Tab Cry Babies,
Morning Routine Doll. Got to hope my daughter doesn't want that,
Just play for real, Pete the Playful Monkey, hasbro Plato,

(28:11):
Pizza Delivery Scooter Playset, and of course the tile Town
Bluey Healer Home just some of the hot toys they're
expecting to be flying off the shelves this year. And
we've heard a lot of the last couple of years
about the dangers of TikTok, and a lot of the
conversation has surrounded how it's owned by a Chinese company,
and despite efforts to ban the app, we still haven't
seen any hard evidence that there's anything nefarious going on.
But now we do have some internal documents from the

(28:32):
company that show how it's being used and some of
the tactics the company has deployed to keep people online.
So these so called secret documents were reviewed by NPR
in Kentucky Public Radio. This information was found after an
internal investigation was launched at TikTok. There's a lot in
here and some of these things were either rumored to
be true, but there are some that we didn't know
about or didn't really think about. First of all, TikTok

(28:53):
does believe it has figured out the precise amount of
viewing it takes to make someone addicted. They say two
hundred and sixty videos which a person could watch under
thirty five minutes. That's their prediction of addiction level. TikTok's
algorithm prioritizes beautiful people. I guess the main video feeds
saw quote high volume of not attractive subjects, according to
the company, so they recalibrated the algorithm to amplify users

(29:13):
the company viewed as beautiful. They even went so far
as to tweak the algorithm again to reduce the visibility
of people it deemed not very attractive, which is why
my videos don't do so well. The internal investigation also
found that limits on use barely had an impact. The
Apple's parents set time limits on their child's usage, but
they found that it did little to nothing and only
led to just about ninety second drop and usage altogether.

(29:35):
I think it was like one hundred eight minutes down
to like one oh six point five or something. And
as I said, there's a lot in this documents, this
thing here, so just a few items I mentioned. TikTok
respond to the report, claiming that NPR cherry pick items
to misrepresent what's going on currently with the company. That
doesn't sound like they denied that some of these things
have happened, but apparently their focus has shifted.

Speaker 7 (29:54):
They're gonna let ugly people make videos now.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
I don't know, I'm not shocked by I mean, I
feel like this what Facebook does and EXO like, I
just feel like this is what they all do. They
want to keep the high profile people moving faster. So
I don't know, it doesn't shock me to hear this,
but it is interesting to actually see the words from
their mouths put out there.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
That's a news update, all right, coming up on your brief, Bethany.

Speaker 5 (30:15):
Okay, So Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson are going to
be in a new movie together and it sounds kind
of I don't know.

Speaker 7 (30:20):
We'll see, I'll you guys decide.

Speaker 5 (30:23):
Plus some breaking news from a British professor that could
change the whole entire world.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Oh all right, well I'll stick around. We'll find out
Right after Sam Hunt
