Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, guys, it's Bethany from the Michael J Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to Michael J and Bethany after hours.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
And I'll take a large ice coffee with caramel two please,
ninety three point onepoc now. I mean it is at
the drive through at McDonald's. You know, why not you
can't swing by? Yeah, Hey, it's Michael Jay and Bethany.
Did you know today Bethany College Athletics will never look
the same because actually tomorrow's when it officially begins. Division

(00:29):
I Schools like the University of Maryland will be allowed
to pay athletes directly as a result of a settlement
ending three antitrust lawsuits against the NCAA, And it pays
the way for revenue sharing, which don't you think it's
about time?

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah, they make a lot of money off of these athletes. Yeah,
they don't. Didn't get paid for a long time.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
And the ones that are stars while they're in college,
I mean, they're using their their success. It seems to
me they should get a slice of it.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
I just really want as this opens up, I would
like it to try to be a more equal playing field,
so to speak, because you know, they're still not going
to pay the female athletes nearly as.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Much as they do, but maybe they will well, because
I mean it's going to come down to talent anyway.
Starting tomorrow, Division one schools can pay athletes up to
twenty point five million of the revenue their athletic departments generate.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
That's the kind of money that we're talking about. It's
a lot of money. Big deal. Hey, it's a sad anniversary. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Over the weekend it was the seven year anniversary of
the Capitol Gazette shooting, where five staff members at Capital
Gazette were murdered at work, and so over the weekend
they had a lot of tributes, which I thought were
really lovely.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
So we're thinking about all those families today. You know,
seven years is like a blip, and it just it
does seem like just yesterday. Yeah, it does.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Little creepy? If you ask me?

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Ninety three point one w POC. Can we talk about
sneakers real quick? Our boss, the kapooch man, he has
I don't know how many pair, but he that's his
whole thing.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
You know, everybody's got their hose.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
I've seen his closet and I've seen his feet more importantly,
every time here he's got a different pair of sneakers on,
and they're not the like you know, I remember when
I had Jack Purcell's when I was a kid, or
if I had you know, nikes, you know what Jack
Purcell's are.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
They were the big ones in Baltimore. Everybody had Jack Purcell's.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
But anyway, I mean, you know, I usually have at
any time maybe two pairs of sneakers on the go,
you know what I mean. In other words, that wear them,
then they wear out, I throw them out, I'll get
a new pair.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
So you got the typical dad shoe thing going.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Yeah, I mean they're yeah, they're because what happens is
you end up like getting them dirty.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
You'll be in the you know, gardening or I don't know, you.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Got I got a trash pair, you know, and then
when they get trash, then they really do go on
the trash.

Speaker 7 (07:22):
Right.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
But uh, I learned from the Kapooge that people are
into these sneakers. And then you're telling me you've got a.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
My girlfriend has like I'm missing no less than a
hundred holy.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Sneakers, one hundred pairs, and it's it's out of hand.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
But I mean, it's the hobby. It's their hobby. And
some of them are really expensive.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Like a couple of thousands. That's crazy. So here's just
like a whole culture, a whole sneaker culture.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
I'm just learning that you can sell used sneakers for a.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Lot of money.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah, And if you have like an original pair of
like Jordan's, Jordan One's or something like that, I don't
know it, can you still buy those online?

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Thousands? Like how much?

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Like like I would say, probably like twelve thousand, Yes,
I don't know. I don't know, but it's a lot
of money. Like if you have like an og pair
of sneakers, oh my god.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Will you ware of those? I don't think you put
him in a box or something.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
But then they're like there's all these sneaker drops that
happen all the time. Do you mean they're like like
today at ten o'clock, Travis Scott's going to do a
new collab and he's going to drop some sneakers and
everyone's got it and then and then they sell it immediately,
but then you can buy him aftermarket, so they'll sell
for like one hundred and fifty dollars if you win
the auction or not auctions, like a drop, but.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Then if you don't get it, then you have to
buy it after.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Market for like eight hundred dollars or something crazy.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
So people are reselling him like tickets exactly. That's crazy,
and people.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Do it, and so Turner's like, oh, mom, oh I
need I need this. I'm like, no, I look.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
It up buying eight hundred dollars your you better win
that drop, yeah, because if you win the drop, it's
not that bad.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
It's like one hundred and fifty.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
I still think one hundred and fifties a lot for
a pair of sneakers. I'm sorry, well I used to.
I'm under one hundred dollars, I am, I'm sorry, I
will all there's some things.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
It's like a car, I would argue.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Then you're always going to still look like, well, you're
wearing shoes that are under I know.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
That's just fine. That's your vibe. No, it's not my vibe.
It's my wallet, is what it is. You should do.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
You should do a nice smart pair of like air
Force ones that'd be so cute, white all white, okay, smart?

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Are those like more than one hundred bucks? Well, then
we're gonna need to get you new jeans.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Oh my gosh, y b I already have I got
kids shop all right, So well listen, speaking of concert tickets,
we do have a pair of WDPOC Saturday in the
Country tickets.

Speaker 1 (09:45):

Little hot seat game eight one hundred three two one
thirty six ninety three.

Speaker 7 (09:54):

Speaker 6 (09:58):
Nine half surprised about that.

Speaker 7 (10:00):
It's just it's always who cus first and not not
any mean? Isn't it? Something made me? Not any means.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
We're bringing the good news, Chaboozie. He's going to be
at our wed POC Saturday in the Country. Bethany, we
were just talking about the price of sneakers since day he.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Found you a pair of original nineteen eighty five Jordans
for twenty five thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yeah, I'll be rushing out to get those, Okay.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Can you really believe someone's going to pay that much?
Somebody will?

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Uh, A good buddy of mine, Johnny shout out to Johnny.
He says, I gotta drive with something between my Jordans
and the floor so I don't get my heels dirty.
I have over one hundred pair, and he sent to
a picture. What is that he's got like a he's
got like a towel.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
And he's got like a something down on his Maybe, yeah,
because you could scuff them when you're driving and they
careful with that gas pedal Johnny.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, but when you when you scuff them, does that
hurt the value? Of course?

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (11:09):
I don't know. It also just looks tacky.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
And then you wanted me to ask him does he
use the crease protectors right?

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Because if you're going to protect against scuffs, you also
have to protect against creases.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
He says they're very uncomfortable. He keeps them in only
for storage. But I'm telling you, I never knew Johnny's
the dude. I never knew there was so much going
on with sneakers. So what is the most Johnny?

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Can you please take Michael's shopping?

Speaker 3 (11:34):
So I say, the most I'm spending on a pair
of sneakers is one hundred bucks.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
What about you?

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Okay, what's the most that you would pay for a
pair of sneakers?

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Probably?

Speaker 3 (11:45):
See, I don't feel so bad now, can't your feet?

Speaker 6 (11:48):
Girl?

Speaker 1 (11:48):
These are you're walking around on them?

Speaker 2 (11:51):
See?

Speaker 3 (11:51):
I just said we were just talking about I say,
I won't go over one hundred bucks. You get me,
don't you.

Speaker 5 (11:59):
Get?

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (12:01):
That's a lot. And that's because that's fifty dollars a foot.
That's a lot of money.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
You are walking. They're protecting your little Kate.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
And cat's only going twenty dollars a fuck. All right, Kate,
But let me ask you this question. How much do
you spend on your nails? I'll bet you do you
spend more on your sneakers?

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Do you have to ask that?

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Okay, see, I know how much do you spend on
your how many?

Speaker 1 (12:31):
How much do you spend on those toenails of yours?

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (12:36):
See what I'm saying, you got one time use you
can extensive sneakers over and.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
Over when you have to remember when you have a
woman saying rub harder, rub harder, I'm like, massage those dogs, baby,
go for it. Hey, you know we were talking about
what part you recognize? First, I said it was the
lips in the mouth. Second, nails. I'm telling you that's
what that's what is all about. Come on, you gotta

(13:03):
go for the nails. Whatever you guy's paying attention to
when you're getting a foot, I think the rub is
probably worth I don't care about the beat here, It's
about the rest of it. I just want you to
give me that good that good rub.

Speaker 7 (13:14):
All right.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
So, so, Kate, we have got w POC Saturday in
the country. Tickets, no shoes, no shirt, no problems if
you can get through the the pressure cooker that we
call our hot seat.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Are you ready for three questions?

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Make them fast? Three seconds. We're gonna have to buzzy,
and then you're gone, Kate.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Question number one, what's your favorite kind of exercise? That's cool?
Question number two, who is the biggest drama queen in
your life? Don't say Michael j or Beth of the either, So.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
I really have that?

Speaker 1 (13:52):
You do, don't? You're running out of time?

Speaker 9 (13:55):

Would you really do that?

Speaker 7 (14:18):

think I would love.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
To try it at once.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
Now we know why she's not going to spend more
than forty bucks for sneakers.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
The whole life's disposable.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Yeah, you gotta go with her.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Maybe we should do it with Kate. Yeah, I'll jump
out of a plane, all right.

the right word to you is I don't know what
do I know he passed at eighty nine years old.
And Bob Bafford very very tight with him. Yeah, he's
like one of the only guys that's won more. And
Bob Baffert said his quote was, I just hope that
at some point I had the chance to do something

(16:11):
that made de Wayne Lucas proud.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
So, I mean they were really tight. Well, you know,
I've been watching that horse Dock on Netflix. He's in that. Yeah.
Isn't it amazing how you first you're like horses and
then you I've never heard of this man before you
get into it.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
Oh and I know, Well, there's so much hard work
that goes in behind the scenes for things like.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
The prece Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Traffic lights and street lights remained out just north of
the Inner Harbor early yesterday afternoon.

Speaker 1 (16:39):

So smoke was billowing out of manholes when Baltimore City
Fire and Baltimore Gas and Electric responded around three o'clock
Saturday afternoon. The Fire Department on Sunday referred questions about
the cause of the fire to BG and E, who
are now saying that it remains under investigation. With a

(17:08):
lot of comments coming in on this, Mark A says
BG and E managed to fry a major fiber optic
internet cable with this fire, So I don't know how
that's going to affect downtown business.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Do with the heat, I wonder. I don't know, but well,
you know what else I saw.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Speaking of BG, They're gonna give rebates this summer up

bill increased way more than eighty dollars.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Mary's going to be taking it easy.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Congratulations here In ninety three point one WPOC Michael Jane Bethany.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
Mary's on the line. You know, she works the nine
to one one calls.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
She's like a dispatcher exactly, Mary, I have a question
about nine one one.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Are there a lot of calls that are non emergency?

Speaker 9 (22:57):
It is a big problem. We do get a lot
of non emergency calls, and but there's enough of us
to go around that in our agency, nobody's on hold.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
That's awesome. How did you get that job?

Speaker 9 (23:11):
Chunny stories? Like six or seven years ago, I used
to be a bartender and a lieutenant for this agency
with my customer.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
Okay, isn't it always funny who you meet? And yeah,
and what is it?

Speaker 7 (23:24):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (23:25):
You just never know what's the agency that runs nine
one one?

Speaker 9 (23:30):
So I work where I work is MDTA Police and
that's who actually runs the nine one one center. Wow,
every center has the room?

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Uh huh, that's crazy. Mary, You aren't just a wealth
of information. Do you ever have a tough.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
Time when you come home after working a shift just
being able to de stress? Do you feel like you've
been caught up in you know, a lot of drama.

Speaker 9 (23:55):
So no, pretty much, I can disconnect. I only have
on times when I was my officers that he was
hit and it was bad. Oh so and he's back
to work.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
Well that's your okay.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
I wondered if you ever get it must be hard
never to get a follow up, like if you if
you take.

Speaker 9 (24:15):
A call, you know, yeah, sometimes it's hard. Sometimes we
can our officers that have to do follow ups will
come in and give us, you know, the finals on stuff.
But him being my officer, I followed it all the
way through.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Hey, let me ask you one more question about being
a nine to one one uh operator?

Speaker 1 (24:36):
What's your title?

Speaker 9 (24:37):
By the way, emergency police dispatcher too.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Got it, well, emergency police dispatcher two.

Speaker 5 (24:46):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
What advice do you have or what here's an opportunity
just to tell the public, you know, what, what we
need to be mindful of or what should we be
thinking when we call nine one one.

Speaker 9 (25:00):
If you're calling in an emergency or calling in something.
It's not always easy to stay calm, but we need
basic information. If we're asking you, we've already sent somebody
to you once we get your location. The other information
is just to assist them as they get there, because
we get a lot of people who say, just send
an officer I'm tired of asking the answer these questions.

(25:22):
We've already been, We've already sent somebody. The questions are
just a follow up.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Got it?

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Now, if we can just keep the drunks from calling
her at two in the morning, ay.

Speaker 7 (25:34):
Lan, you driver around my mind.

Speaker 4 (25:38):
I can't count that the times you made me feel
like them nothing please me.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Lack a fool a fool.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Real flats one of your all time country favorites The
Michael J Morning Show at night three point one WPOC.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
This is unhinged. Okay, we asked how much is a
typical gift for a wedding? Exactly? There are so many
things to take into consideration of variables. How well do
you know the person, how fancy is the wedding? Like,
how much do you like them? Like we were just
talking about my brother's wedding, like was a destination wedding,
so like I'm already spending a couple thousand dollars just

(26:22):
to get to the wedding, and.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
They got airfare, tell accommodations.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
And now I gotta give you a gift too. And
remember you used to smack me when I was leaving. Okay,
so somebody else, somebody on tech said, my husband and
I usually give around two hundred dollars to the couple,
unless we have to travel far, and then it depends.
And then someone said I was married in twenty twenty three.
The gifts ranged from zero.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
Listen, if you give zero at a wedding, don't bother
coming no, because you're only costing the family money.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Right, How can you give zero.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
And don RSVP first and then not show up because
then you're also costing the money zero up to five
hundred Okay, probably like an aunt and uncle or a grandma.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yeah, I mean.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
And then she said, I personally give as much as
the plate is. This is this is how I don't
normally try to do it. She says, about one hundred
dollars unless it's a close friend or relative. She said,
But now I'm starting to put into consideration if I
was invited to the bachelor, a bachelorette party, the bridal shower,
or anything else that required another gift.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
It adds up quickly. But then listen to this. This
is the one that's unhinged, but I kind of like it.

Speaker 6 (27:23):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
You also have to take into consideration what the person
gave you when you got married. She says, I actually
have a spreadsheet that you've got the excels a person's
name and what they gave me, No, yes, and then
for each party, and then I try to match it. Okay,
So if you're doing it just to try to that's
a little over the top.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
You're a virgo. This person's a virgo, all right, I'm
Gemini cancer.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
And the way I look at it is, yes, you
keep you keep the amount of money next to a
name for the for in my mind, for the sole
purpose of writing thank yous, right, and then when you've
written a thank you, you know this appropriate for whatever.
We don't need to keep scoring that gets torn up
and it's in the trash. You're not going to keep

(28:08):
a list of how much everybody gave you what? So
twenty years from now you could say you still.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Want to be there in twenty twenty three, when I
got married ninety.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
Three point one WPOC traffic and you're a newlywed for
two years.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
What here's the real debate.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
If your marriage doesn't last two years, are you supposed
to give the gifts back?

Speaker 1 (28:29):
I'd be sending me a check.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
Well, that's why you got to keep that spreadsheet, all.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Right, So there's an accident on seventy eastbound and westbound.
I'm not I'm not sure what side of the road
it started on. The both sides are best affected, yeah,
and both are backed up.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
About fifteen minutes.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
There's an accident on seventy westbound at Roxbury Mills Road
as well, with the right lane blocked. Six ninety five
