Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, guys, it's Bethany from the Michael J Morning Show.
You're listening to Michael J and Bethany after hours.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Ninety three point one wpo C Now Trudy.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
There were lots of protesters on the streets in Baltimore yesterday,
hundreds in fact, chanting Ice out of Baltimore to protest
the deportation targeting residents. Someone sent me a video of
a couple of people being detained by ICE agents in
downtown Baltimore. Hundreds of arrests in California as protests continue,

(00:40):
and more protests popping up in Awe, all big cities
over the country, New York, Austin, Seattle, Chicago. I have
so many questions about the ICE agent situation, So text
me if you know the answer, or call me seven
to seven nine six two. Begin your message with high
or Hey, are these ICE agents? Were they already in
effect before or this all happened? Or are these new

(01:03):
agents from different organizations? Like I just wonder they all
have like ski masks on and the vest that I
just want like where did they come?

Speaker 3 (01:13):
And is anyone listening? Who's a nice agent?

Speaker 1 (01:15):
I just I just have so many questions for you.
I think it's I'm fascinated by it.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
It's just like there's just a lot of questions, Okay,
more questions popping up in Southeast Baltimore because raw human
waste is likely flowing into the Inner Harbor. I guess
they did a walk through of the situation. There's a
big sewage pipe and Brewers Hill just spewing waste into
the harbor.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
I think they think it's been going on for several months,
So that's terrifying.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Here's kind of a good spin on a terrible story.
The trial of Matthew Schlegel happening in the Saverna Park
elementary third grade teacher who was accused of sexual abuse.
They have dogs in the courtroom to comfort the children
who are testifying in that difficult case.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
And I think that must.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Like I just like I said earlier, I just can't
think of a better idea. That one really seems to be.
That seems to be it. Boy.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah, I walk right out the fire.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, you try to keep me down, trying to put
me on the ground, but I'm only growing.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
I can hear you in my head, my ba, I'm dreaming.
He was trying my dream.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Dog you're growing so.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Scared telling you where you can go, because I know
you're not.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Michael J's music sitting minute in sixty seconds.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
You gonta know like you own music row.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
First of all, Jelly roll is in our music city
minute this morning.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
I love this guy is really sweet.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
When he first popped on the scene, I was like,
I don't know, he's coming across kind of convict y,
right with the tattoos and the jail time and all that.
But then he just kept doing sweeter and sweeter things
for the community and for people around him, and I.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Was like, all right, jelly you got me. You won
me over.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
And here is a great example of something sweet that
he did. So he was performing at the Opry and
I don't know if you know, but his alma mater,
his former high school, had a school shooting, and so
there was an elementary school choir that sent a video
of them singing his song I'm Not Okay to his

(03:47):
high school. A hard story to follow, but so jelly
Rolls high school had the shooting, an elementary school nearby
sent a video to the high school students, you know,
just saying I'm not okay, It's okay if you not okay,
really sweet. So this choir went above and beyond and
did something sweet.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
So then when.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Jelly performed that song at the Opry, he brought those
kids on stage to sing that song.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
It's so sweet. Here's a little clip screaming.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Time.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Isn't that like the sweetest thing.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
He had the little kids to come on stage with
him and sing, and he honored them for doing such
a thoughtful thing for that high school that was going
through it.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
So he, just like I said, continues to win me over.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Special congrats going out to Kelly who won the tickets
to Hot Country Nights. Bob Delmont has another pair, and
then Saint Pierre's got another pair in his pocket too.

(05:02):
Sam Hunt ninety three point Onewpoc. Good morning, It's the
Michael J Morning Show. Michael's on vacation this week. Supposed
to be a nice day today, hot and then lots
of rain coming up in the forecast, which I'm I'm
not too keen on, but I suppose we need it
all right. I just I keep seeing all of this
stuff about how Americans are struggling financially, right, I'm feeling it,

(05:25):
y'all are feeling it. And I saw a study today
that said that for forty percent of workers, living paycheck
to paycheck would.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Be an improvement.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Right. So then I see another survey that says eighty
five percent of Americans say they do tons of wasteful spending,
and I'm.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Like, I wonder what the psychology behind this is.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
They surveyed people asking them what they spend their money on, Like,
what do they waste their money on? Basically the most
common answer food delivery apps like door Dash, Uber Eats,
grocery redelivery apps, entertainment you know, like all of the
subscriptions you got Netflix and Max and Peacock and all

(06:07):
the things.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Uh. They said that millennials are.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
More likely to admit that they waste their money, but
gen z actually waste their money. Yeah, So my question
to y'all is what are you wasting your money on? Uh?

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Seven seven nine six to two.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Begin your message with high or hey, or you can
call me and let me know what you're spending on
eight hundred three two one thirty six ninety three. I
feel like for me, like eating out was another one
of the big things for me. It is like the
convenience of like, you know, you're working all day blah
blah blah.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
You don't feel like cooking, just order something right.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Uh. But I also see the other thing that everybody
says is shopping online like stress shopping. Just add to
cart the cart. I don't do that a lot, but
when I do, it's not cute. It's really not a
great idea. Let me know, what are you spending your
on seven to seven ninety sixty. Begin your message with

(07:02):
hi or hey?

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Is it a waste if it makes you happy? These
are the questions.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
It's Kane Brown right now in Laura Elena, What if
art you?

Speaker 4 (07:11):
What if? I? Yes?

Speaker 3 (07:13):
Sir Army, I'm all a buddy, Army Jo.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Ninety three point one WPOC It's Posty and Blake Shelton,
Michael J.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Michael's on vacation, surely doing some spending of his own.
So the question is eighty six percent of Americans say
that they do wasteful spending. And I'm finding a theme
here from our texters that it seems to be a
little bit of a self care situation, a little bit
of an emotional spending.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Here's what everybody's saying on the text.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
I like to go out to eat way too much.
I also make and Amazon purchase a day could be
large or small. I keep my Amazon total. Every person
having a job every day, you buy something every day.
That's wild. Not judging, just shocked. Someone said I waste
my money on bills. I mean, I know that's true.

(08:11):
Someone said I spend on Starbucks. I'm too tired. I
need caffeine. I you know, and I'm too tired to
make my own coffee. I love that. Someone else said
lottery tickets. Someone said diet coke. It's gotten so expensive,
and I want a Crisp Fountain soda, not a gross
too leader. Oh, this person is my soul mate. I

(08:32):
am known to drive through McDonald's just to get a
diet coke.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
Don't tell anyone.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Someone else said diet pills. How much are you spending
on diet pills? I have questions about this. Then someone
says I tend to add things to my Amazon cart
to get overnight shipping. That's true, like if you if
you have to get to thirty five dollars or something.
And then someone said a lot of influencers on apps
lead to over consumption.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
I see a lot of people like that are like
buy this, buy this, buy this, and like then you
do and you're.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Like, oh shoot, I got influenced.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
But you know some of that stuff actually is stuff
you you know makes your life better.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
I don't know. Text me seven seven nine six two
what are you wasting your money on? Or give me
a call?

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Eight hundred three two one thirty six ninety three.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
This is Josh Ross. It's called single Again.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Thanks for listening, thanks for having us on and keeping
me company on this Thursday morning sunshiny out.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
I love it. I have no question say what.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
He wrote it about his high school crush who he
ran into several years later, and single Again. It's Josh
Ross on ninety three point one WPOC. Good morning, It's
Michael j Morning Show. Michael's on vacation this week and
I'm hanging out with you and we are talking about
what are you wasting your money on?

Speaker 3 (09:56):
So not spending your money on stuff that you need?

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Uh? I always I have two teenagers, so I'm constantly discussing
the need versus want situation. Like you don't need roadblocks,
dollars or whatever they're called.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
That's a want, right. You don't need Chipotle every day,
that's a want.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
But I think as adults were faced with the same situation, right,
someone said, Hi, I have a Planet Fitness membership twenty
one ninety five every month. Haven't been in three years?
Cancel it today. Okay, I'm giving you an assignment. I
want you to cancel your gym membership today or go
if you want to.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
But you have to make a choice. I'm getting my
mom voice out on you.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Ninety three point one WPOC traffic.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
All right, that's going on on the roads out there.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Right, ninety three point one wpo C now truity.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
So, the trial of Matthew Slagel, the Severna Park Elementary
third grade teacher accused of sexual abuse, has been going
on for a few weeks, and in the courtroom there
have been some very comforting guests.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Dogs, really cute sweet ones.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
They are professionally trained working dogs who are brought in
by request to comfort children who are testifying in difficult cases.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Can you think of a better idea than this?

Speaker 1 (11:18):
This is fantastic because I'm sure it's incredibly difficult for
those kids to be in that trial.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
So I bet those dogs are the only bright spot.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Raw human waste likely from a Southeast Baltimore neighborhood is
allegedly leaking into the inner Harbor.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
This is, according to the.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Baltimore Sun, a sewage pipe in Brewers Hill just dumping
waste right into the inner harbor that we're all working
so hard.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
To repair.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
I guess I'll walk through reveal that the issue has
been going on for several months.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
Ugh.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Hundreds of protesters filled Baltimore streets yesterday, chanting ice out
of Baltimore to protest the deep rotation efforts targeting residents. Meanwhile,
the number of arrests in California protests around four hundred.
Other protests popping up all over the country New York, Austin, Seattle, Chicago,
and lastly, Nintendo.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Released the switch to last week.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
They've managed to rack up more than three point five
million units sold in just four days. That's the fastest
selling counsul in history. Wow, it's about four hundred and
fifty dollars. Some stores are already out of stock.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
Did you grab one? Let me know.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
He's here Tonai to Riley Green at Pier six Pavilion.
That's Worst Way ninety three point one WPOC And if
I get a chance to chat with him, I'm going
to see if I can finally clear up the rumors
about whether or not he and Megan Maroney are a couple,
because the internet is shipping them so hard and they're

(12:57):
studying everything at these TikTok fans are following everything Riley
Green and Mega Marony do just to find out if
they're together.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
So I'm just going to try to clear it up.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
You know, and Riley, if you're driving into town tonight
today and you happen to be listening, just call and
confirm are you guys together or nat okay?

Speaker 3 (13:16):
Because I just want to know. All right, let's get
into it. Let's see what's going on in Bethany's brief.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
I keep us in the loop of entertainment and pop
culture and the things we shouldn't care about, but somehow
we really do. He's Bethany's Brief on ninety three point
one WOC.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Brian Wilson, Beach Boys visionary and genius for melody arrangements,
has died at the age of eighty two. His family
posted the news of his death on his website and
social media accounts yesterday. Olympic legend Mary Lourettin she was
arrested last month for dui. While she's made a statement,

(13:54):
she says, I take full responsibility for my actions. What
happened was completely unacceptable, et cetera, et cetera. The statement
followed an appearance in court over the charges. She entered
a no contest plea and walked away with just one
hundred dollars Fine Hm. In her new documentary Roseanne Barr
Is America, the sitcom legend claims that created the creative

(14:18):
team behind The Connors actually reached out to her to
see if she would come back on the show as
a ghost, you know, in The Connors, like in the reboot,
they actually killed off her character. And she said, just
to be clear, you're asking me to come back to
a show that you stole from me and killed me
off on, and you want me to come back now.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
And I think she's right about that, absolutely not.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Rumors are swirling that HOTA Copy might take over for
Kelly Clarkson's TV show because Kelly apparently, according to insiders,
Kelly is done.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
She doesn't want to do it anymore.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
So do you think CODA would be a good replacement?
Let me know, Blake Lively has the peanut Scooter Brawn
and her legal battle with Justin Valdoni, which I wish
would end because I'm sick of it. And lastly, Jack
Black is going to get the King of Comedy Award
during the twenty twenty five Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, and apparently,
yes you were wondering, he is scheduled to be slimed

(15:12):
live on stage.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
You want to.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Oh, Shanai is not gonna like what I'm gonna say
now any man in my ninety three point one WPOC
It's Michael J. Morny Show. Hi, I'm Bethany. I'll be
hanging out with you aile. Michael's on vacation and listen.
I want I want to give dudes a chance to
defend themselves here, okay, So seven seven ninety six to two,
begin your message with higher hay or call me eight

(15:42):
hundred three two one thirty six ninety three. I saw
in lieu of Father's Day, In honor of Father's Day,
if you will, I saw this TikTok that slays men,
and I can't believe it's true.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
I just can't. So these are things from the comment section.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
That women apparently had to teach their husbands once they
got married. Okay, more than seven thousand people commented. So
here's how it started. A TikToker said that she had
to teach her husband, like basically, how to be a human.
He didn't know how to do laundry, he didn't know
how to handle a bank account, et cetera, et cetera.

(16:20):
So then everybody comments, and here are some of the comments.
These are gonna blow your mind.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
I had to teach my husband that simply letting the
water rinse the soap off your body isn't cleaning your feet.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
I had to teach my.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Husband that my newborn isn't gonna drink three bottles a
day breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I had to teach my
husband that the numbers on your pants.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
Are not equal to your age.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
For instance, when you turn thirty four, you don't need
thirty four thirty four pants. I had to teach my
husband that a hysterectomy is not required for people to
start menopause. I had to teach my husband that fabric
softener is not detergent. I had to teach my husband
that he needed to wash his hands even when he

(17:03):
didn't sit down in the bathroom. These can't be true.
Right weigh in ladies seven seven nine six two, begin
your message with higher, hay, what didn't your husband know
when you've got married? But you know, like I said,
I want men to defend themselves. Did you are you
a fully functioning adult human? Let me know if do
you know how to do all these things? And or

(17:26):
maybe you have a lady in your life that you
had to teach quite a few things. I want to
hear about that too, because I just don't think it's fair.
It's for seven thousand commenters to slay men like this
unless it is deserved. I'm not well, let's get to
the bottom of it. Here's Morgan Wallen. I'm the problem.
Hmm it seems like you might be.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
Morgan say, y'all have changed just to go around town.
It's Pete Smith. It's ninety three point one WPOC.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Good morning. It's Bethany Michael j on vacation and Lee's
on the phone. Lee, did you have to teach your
husband a whole bunch of stuff when you guys first,
you know, got married, got hitched.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
I did a little bit. I had to teach him
how that you start laundry. You don't just throw it
all in together. But my brother had to teach his
wife everything because her mother didn't want her to leave,
so she did not teach her how to cook, clean,
or do laundry or handle money. And my husband had
my brother, sorry, had to teach her how to do everything.

(18:27):
My boys cook, do laundry and everything because they weren't
leaving the house till.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
They could, right, good, Yes, boys and girls alike need
to be taught all of these life skills.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
Right yes. My daughter also, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Someone on tech said I did to teach my husband
how to order at a restaurant and a lot.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
Of the things that you listed.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
If you missed it, I played I talked to you
about a little TikTok that I found where this woman
just basically said her husband has no life skills.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
She had to teach him everything.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
So our texter said, it's she's teaching her husband things
on a daily basis. That's Teresa from Essex. Then someone said, hi,
on your man bashing subject. Now wait a minute, I said,
everybody has a chance to weigh in here. They said,
I had to teach my wife that the garage door
has to be all the way open before you drive

(19:17):
through it, and if the pizza box is upside down,
there won't be any toppings on the pizza. Really, someone
said I had to teach my wife how to put
oil in the car and know not cooking oil, and
how to put gas in the car, and how to
start the lawnmower. Well, I mean, I guess how to
use a hammer, how to use a screwdriver.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
Wow. Someone said I was very lucky that my husband.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
My husband could do a lot of those things, but
during our active duty Navy career, I had to retrain him.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Wow, that's interesting.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
I mean, I guess if you get so caught up
in your job, I don't know, that's really interesting. Wigh in,
what do you think do you have to teach your
spouse how to do things? Did they come to the
marriage already a fully grown human adult or.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
Are they lacking a little bit?

Speaker 1 (20:05):
I love to hear from you seven seven ninety six two.
Begin your message with hi or hey, it's Brett Eldridge
right now. I want to be that song on ninety
three point one.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
W POC.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Radio.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
I want a soundre.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
It's Brett Eldridge.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Want to be that song ninety three point one w
POC talking about whether or not you had to teach
your spouse things when you guys got married. Someone said, Hi,
I think it's so scary how some parents don't teach
their kids anything.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
I agree.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Someone said, Hi, Bethany, I had to teach my husband
that he needed more than five pairs of socks and underwear.
I think that a lot of men think that. Someone
said this one I cannot believe is true. I had
to teach my husband not to pour raw chicken juice
on top of freshly baked chicken afterward. It's not a sauce.

(20:58):
That can't be true, right then? I love this one too.
When we first got together, my husband didn't understand how
tampons worked.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
He was in med school at the time.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Oh boy, ninety three point one WPOC traffic.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Somebody else on text wants to know if the spouse
that pretends they don't know how to do anything is
indeed pretending hmmm, so that they don't have to do
stuff that's interesting.
