Hey, guys, it's Bethany from the Michael J Morning Show.
You're listening to Michael J and Bethany after hours.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Ninety three point one WPOC went you in the worst.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Way the funniest text yesterday about the song? Right, what happened?
I think Ernie was like her in or Brenda.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Or something I'm assuming right, and she said the worst
way is standing up on a hammock?
Speaker 5 (00:29):
What ninety three point one w C.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Now, can somebody top that text us right now? Seven
seven six two? Begin your message with higher, Hey, what
is the worst way? All right?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Well I can top that. Today all sorts of new
taxes go into effect in Maryland. You really do need
to know about a lot of these, and I'll start
in no particular order. Okay, the sales tax on cannabis
products increases from nine percent to twelve percent. Taxes on
(01:03):
sports betting increasing from fifteen percent to twenty percent. Wow,
snack foods and advertisement images, they say, vending machines and
visual advertisements are going to be the targets of a
small tax increase. What we'll see snack food was originally
exempt if you bought it from a vending machine, but
(01:26):
it will now be subject in the state of Maryland
starting today, to a six percent tax. Milk, yogurt, fresh fruit,
vegetables purchased from vending machines will still be exempt from
sales tax. All right, okay, but if you go for
the pork rinds, look out six percent.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Officials expect to raise nine point one million off that change.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Just the snack food. Yes, we love our snacks. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Vehicle fees officials have struggled to find well, this is
garbage anyway. It is all those vehicle fee like the uh, well,
they've shelved. This is the good news.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
A variety of new or increased transportation fees aim to
raise about five hundred million annually. But ideas like toll
increases and the seventy five cent fee on Amazon style
deliveries got shelved. But they say they have struggled and
they're looking for some way to come up with some
more money. So they're gonna they're increasing income tax in
(02:25):
the state of Maryland starting today. But there's good news.
And let me just run this down real quick. You
can figure out where you'll be. They say sixty percent
of Maryland taxpayers will see their state income tax decrease.
Oh really, an average of forty three dollars one third
and they say one third will see absolutely no change.
(02:46):
And then anybody making more than two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, well you're going to be paying a little
bit more. And they say, on average that small pool
of people will be paying about eighteen hundred dollars more
in their state income tax.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Ninety three point one WPOC traffic.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
So I guess you got to figure out where you are. Well,
thanks for bumming us all out?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
All right, Well, I've got to bring it to you
your cannabis. Any you go get for those gummies? Nine
to twelve increase? Okay, all right, all.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Right, US one southbound the off ramp to one hundred
and one hundred southbound closed right now due to an accident.
Looks like rescue response is there the accident. It seems
to have happened on the actual ramp. Liberty Road eastbound
and westbound at Ridge Road closed right now due to
a structure fire. There's a disabled vehicle on the right
lane is blocked on the interloop at Park Heights Avenue.

Tea ninety three point one Dildy Poc Michael J Morning Show,
Michael J. And Bethany was telling me about a dream
she had and we had a situation on the show
a couple of weeks ago where a microphone was making
(04:44):
some sort of weird noise and it.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Was I don't know, I can't like when you move it,
It's like it's like anything else with a good joint.
It's like, yeah, it's squeaked. Yeah, so that somehow ended
up in your dream last night. Yeah, you were yelling
at me because it was making too much noise.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
So she starts telling me this story about how the
microphone was stiff, and I'm trying to answer the telephone
line to get the contest, and all the contest caller,
whoever number one was, is heard.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Somebody heard it's stiff.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
It's really stiff, and I started laughing and I couldn't
believe that.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Anyway, he was.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
He was in Glendale, Arizona on a recent tour stop,
and not only did he take time to talk and
interact with every single person in this honky talk, but
he left a big tip that all fifteen employees could
pay their bills for a month. No way, Yeah, he
looked him up. He's like, y'all are doing a good
job for a month, fifteen people? What do you think
(06:37):

Okay, she's pregnant.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Okay, she's doing like I don't know, like the end
of August or something like that.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Right.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Her husband signed up for an iron Man in like October.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Well, you know he participates in these every year, right.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Yeah, I wouldn't say every year, but he has before, right,
so I think she was hoping he might skip this year.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Well, he's obviously an iron Man.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
She's expecting, right, and she's upset because he's not going
to be around, he's not taking part in her life.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Well yeah, I mean, like she's gonna have the baby
like August thirtieth. Yeah, he can't be and he's going
to be training hard you know, he's going to be
training hardcore for that Iron Man. That's like October fourth
or something like that, And it's like less than six
weeks after her due date. And she's like, uh uh no,
like you're in baby mode, like where you're in on paternity?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Is this baby number one? Yeah? Okay, And so she's
ticked off. She's like can you believe this?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
She's on the phone me the other night and I
was like, oh uh, Like I don't know what to
tell her, Like, well, they need to have a sit down.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
This is this is the kind of thing that twenty
years later you will be going through therapy and dealing.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
With yours when our first baby was born and you well, no,
in all seriousness, yeah, I look back and we all
make our mistakes.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
This is one for him. He's falling into a big
So you think he should cancel the race? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Well, I mean they need to have talked about this already.
I mean, but it's not too late to sit down
and talk about it. And he needs to come to
a census. And you know, especially on the first baby, yeah,
because you don't know where you're going once you're going
to the hospital. I mean, it can be an easy delivery,
it could be a difficult delivery and then you got
the baby and up all hours you gotta have the
(12:17):
Well that's.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
What he said.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
He's like, it's it's six weeks after your do day,
like everything will be fine by then.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Well what about when the training that goes on between.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
That's he is just in complete denial. And he's a
really good guy. So I don't want to be.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Like, no, I'm operating guy.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
No. Look, I'm just saying for I'm going through this
with my son right now, okay, because he is. There's
a zone Like I look back on my life when
I was twenty seven, I thought I knew everything, I
had the answer to everything, and if I didn't, I
had to fix it right away. That's what that's my
twenty seven brain.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
You learn as you get more mature more and I'm
not belittling anybody who's younger, but you just don't have
the same awareness because you haven't had as much life experience, right,
And all I'm saying is is that a younger guy,
if I could go back and do it again, I
would certainly sit down and be one hundred percent more
sensitive and really understand where this other person's coming from.
(13:18):
That you've created a baby.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
With try to be more empathetic. Yeah, and you got to.
You just have to. And that's what she's.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I mean, if you want a relationship, you need to.
But the thing is, everything seems very easy when you're
twenty seven and thirty and thirty.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
I assume is your girl from late thirties, okay, late thirties. Yeah,
well I don't know. So she said, you will enough
to know better. Yeah, I'm not trying to judge. I'm
really not. Oh no, No, it doesn't sound like you're judging.
It sounds like you're giving advice.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I think that's what's the best thing I can say.
You know, we all need therapy.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
That's that's what I.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Think I've come to figure out. Yeah, but we would
love to get your input.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
What the Cab.
Speaker 11 (14:03):
Ninety three point one WPOC cab Morgan Wallen and Ernest
on that song Cab on The Michael J Morning Show,
Michael J and Bethany.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
We've learned a lot so far this morning. Let's recap.
It's July.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
First.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
We learned that you'll have good luck if you run
around saying rabbit, rabbit.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Yep to people. Yep. I don't know why that makes
you lucky. But look, I'll try anything, right luck.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
We learned that of all the inventions during our lifetime
that Bethany's favorite invention is the air fryer, invented in
two thousand and six. And I learned that it's called
an air tag, not an air pod. My favorite invention,
hands down. Air tags. I put them on everything. Well,
(14:57):
I mean, I've got them with my keys, and my
wallet and my brain. They were invented in twenty twenty one,
so just a few years, a couple of years ago. Yeah,
where would we be without air tags? Put one on
your iHeartRadio app, so you know you can find it
right there on your phone. Yeah, but no air Seriously,
air tags are the bomb. We've also learned that this
(15:20):
girlfriend of yours who lives in Florida expecting a baby
in August, better set her husband down and set him
straight or he's going to be regretting it for the
rest of his life.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Yeah, he is supposed to be doing an Ironman in October,
and she's ticked off on text. I'm pretty sure the
guy can defer his Ironman registration to another year. It's
not about the actual day of the event. It's about
the commitment and time involved in training up until that point.
She's very pregnant and about to have a newborn, and
he should rethink his decision.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I'm telling you, it's the biggest mistake of his life.
It's that crucial because I look back on things that
I've done wrong and I should have been I should
have done things that I haven't.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
In other words, I should have been there more at
certain times.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
And maybe that's why this decision for him to not
do the race seems so clear to me. I'm like,
he just needs to not do the race, like because
once you've done once, you've been around the block. But
I think new parents often don't know just how much
of a commitment they're about to.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah, I mean, the first child changes your life more
than anything else.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
The second not as much, because you already got everything
what you're in for. Right, This is a good text too.
There's always gonna be another iron Man that he can
train for. But this might be the only baby they have.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
So well regardless, No, but here's the thing, this will
be the only first baby they ever have, and if.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
He does that race, I bet it's the only baby.
I guarantee you.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
It's like like like I was saying to my son
who's getting married, and I'm like, the most important advice,
I said, I'm trying to because the thing is when
when a dad tells a son or a kid. Because
I know I've been on the other into this. You
don't want to hear a whole bunch of stuff from
your dad.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Are you going to listen to anything? But I want to.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I want to put this information in his head so
badly because it's so important. And I said, if there's
one thing that I can tell you, the most important
thing going into a marriage or a relationship without a doubt,
is spend time understanding what the other person perceives as love.
(17:27):
Because we all feel love in different ways.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
We all expect have different expectations.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, I mean what makes me feel loved it might
be a little different from what makes you feel loved.
But you got to find out what that is in
the person you're with, and then you have to make
sure that you're delivering it and that you also have
explained what you need because it's a two way street.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Every I don't you feel like almost every problem comes
down to communication.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
It totally does.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
But that that simple little thing that I just said
I think is the most I mean, that's again me
just just me, watchoub Michael J. But I think that
that is the most important thing to a marriage.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
How about how about this as a counterpoint, someone just
texted you said she could be mad at him for
years for this, but he could resent her for not
letting him do the race.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Uh uh no, I'm telling it doesn't if he If
he does, he shouldn't be married to her. Oh he
shouldn't because they.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Priorities they change when you get married. They have to, Yeah,
throw them out, throw everything out the window. If it's all.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
About me, me, me, me, me, that is not going
to work in a relationships.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Three point one w POC traffic.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
It's got to be give and take. I mean it
just it has to be Yeah, all right, anyway, Okay,
I think.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
We've solved it, all right. Okay.
Speaker 12 (18:49):
Uh So, dude, worse.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Ninety three point one WTOC went you in the worst
way the funniest text yesterday about the song.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Right, what happened?
Speaker 4 (19:17):
I think her name was like Aran or Brenda or
something I'm assuming, right, And she said the worst way
is standing up on a hammock.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
What ninety three point one wpo C. Now, can somebody top.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
That Texas right now?
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Seven seven six two? Begin your message with higher? Hey,
what is the worst way? All right, well I can
top that. Today all sorts of new taxes go into
effect in Maryland. You really do need to know about
a lot of these, and I'll start in no particular order.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
The sales tax on cannabis products increases from nine percent
to twelve percent.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Okay, taxes on sports.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Betting increasing from fifteen percent to twenty percent. Wow, Snack
foods and advertisement images, they say, vending machines and visual
advertisements are going to be the targets of a small
tax increase.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
What we'll see.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Snack food was originally exempt if you bought it from
a vending machine, but it will now be subject in
the state of Maryland starting today, to a six percent tax. Milk, yogurt,
fresh fruit vegetables purchased from vending machines will still be
exempt from sales tax. All right, okay, but if you
go for the pork rinds, look out six percent. Let's see.
(20:41):
Officials expect to raise nine point one million off that change.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Just the snack food.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Yes, we love our snacks. Yeah, vehicle fees. Officials have
struggled to find.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Well, this is.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Garbage anyway, It is all those vehicle feet, like the
emissions thing.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Uh uh, Well they've shelved. This is the good news.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Variety of new or increased transportation fees aim to raise
about five hundred million annually, but ideas like toll increases
and the seventy five cent fee on Amazon style deliveries
got shelved.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
But they say they.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Have struggled and they're looking for some way to come
up with some more money. So they're gonna they're increasing
income tax in the state of Maryland starting today. But
there's good news. And let me just run this down
real quick. You can figure out where you'll be. They
say sixty percent of Maryland taxpayers will see their state
income tax decrease. Oh really, an average of forty three dollars.
(21:38):
One third and they say one third will see absolutely
no change. And then anybody making more than two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, well you're going to be paying
a little bit more. And they say, on average that
small pool of people will be paying about eighteen hundred
dollars more in their state income tax.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Ninety three point one WPOC traffic.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
So I guess you got to figure out where you are. Well,
thanks for bumming us all out.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
All right, well that I've got to bring it to
you your cannabis any you go get for those gummies
nine to increase Okay, all right, all right?

Seven seven ninety six to begin your message with higher Hey,
all right, So one of my best girlfriends This is
in Florida, where I went to college. She's pregnant, Okay,
she's doing like I don't know, like the end of
August or something like that. Right.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Her husband signed up for an iron Man in like October. Well,
you know he participates in these every year, right.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yeah, I wouldn't say every year, but he has before, right,
So I think she was hoping he might skip this year.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Well, he's obviously an iron Man.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
She's expecting, right, and she's upset because he's not going
to be around. He's not taking part in her life.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Well you know, I mean, like she's going to have
the baby like August thirtieth, Yeah, he can't be and
he's going to be training hard. He's going to be
training hardcore for that Iron Man that's like October fourth
or something like that. And it's like less than six
weeks after her due date. And she's like, uh uh no,
Like you're in baby mode where you're in on paternity.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Is this baby number one? Yeah? Okay? And so she's
ticked off. She's like can you believe this? She's on
the phone me the other night and I was like, ahh,
Like I don't know what to tell her, Like well,
they need to have a sit down.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
This is this is the kind of thing that twenty
years later you will be going through therapy and dealing
with you when baby was born and you well, no,
in all seriousness, yeah, I look back and we all
make our mistakes.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
This is one for him.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
He's falling into a big So you think he should
cancel the race? Yeah, Well, I mean they need to
have talked about this already. I mean, but it's not
too late to sit down and talk about it. And
he needs to come to a census. And you know,
especially on the first baby. Yeah, because you don't know
where you're going once you're going to the hospital. I mean,
it can be an easy delivery, it could be a
(27:15):
difficult delivery, and then you got the baby and up
all hours you gotta have the Well.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
That's what he said. He's like, it's it's six weeks
after your do day, like everything will be fine by then.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Well what about when the training that goes on between.
That's he is just in complete denial. And he's a
really good guy. So I don't want to be like, no,
I'm operating guy.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
No, Look, I'm just saying for I'm going through this
with my son right now, Okay, because he is. There's
a zone Like I look back on my life when
I was twenty seven, I thought I knew everything, I
had the answer to everything, and if I didn't, I
had to fix it right away. That's my twenty seven brain, right.
(27:55):
You learn as you get more mature more. And I'm
not belittling anybody who's younger, but you just don't have
the same awareness because you haven't had as much life experience, right.
And all I'm saying is is that a younger guy,
if I could go back and do it again, I
would certainly sit down and be one hundred percent more
sensitive and really understand where this other person's coming from
(28:20):
that you've created a baby with.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Try to be more empathetic. Yeah, and you got to.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
You just have to. And that's what she's I mean,
if you want a relationship, you need to. But the
thing is, everything seems very easy when you're twenty seven
and thirty and thirty I assume is your girl late
thirties okay, late thirties.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Well I don't know. So she said, you will enough
to know better. Yeah, I'm not trying to judge. I'm
really not.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Oh no, no, it doesn't sound like you're judging. It
sounds like you're giving advice. I think that's what It's the.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Best I can say.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
You know, we all need therapy. That's that's what I
think I've come to figure out. But we would love
to get your input.
Speaker 3 (28:57):

Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Michael J and Bethany, We've learned a lot so far
this morning. Let's recap. It's July.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
First.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
We learned that you'll have good luck if you run
around saying rabbit, rabbit yep to people yep. I don't
know why that makes you lucky, but look, I'll try
anything right we give you some luck. We learned that
of all the inventions during our lifetime, that Bethany's favorite
invention is the air Fryer invented in two thousand and six,
(30:20):
and I learned that it's called an air tag, not
an air pod. My favorite invention, hands down. Air tags.
I put them on everything. Well, I mean, I've got
them on my keys, and my wallet and my brain.
They were invented in twenty twenty one, so just a
few years.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
A couple of years ago. Yeah, where would we be
without air tags?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Put one on your iHeartRadio app, so you know you
can find it right there on your phone. Yeah, but
no air Seriously, AirTags are the bomb. We've also learned
that this girlfriend of yours who lives in Florida expecting
a baby in August, better set her husband down and
set him straight or he's going to be regretting it
(31:05):
for the rest of his life.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Yeah, he is supposed to be doing an iron Man
in October, and she's ticked off on text. I'm pretty
sure the guy can defer his Ironman registration to another year.
It's not about the actual day of the event. It's
about the commitment and time involved in the training up
until that point. She's very pregnant and about to have
a newborn, and he should rethink his decision.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
I'm telling you, it's the biggest mistake of his life.
It is that crucial because I look back on things
that I've done wrong and I should have been I
should have done things that I haven't. In other words,
I should have been there more. Yeah, at certain times.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
And maybe that's why this decision for him to not
do the race seems so clear to me. I'm like,
he just needs to not do the race, right, Like,
because once you've done once, you've been around the block.
But I think new parents often don't know just how
much of a commitment they're about to.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Yeah, I mean, the first child changes your life more
than anything else. The second not as much because.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
You you already you got the lady, gave up everything
or what you're in for.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Right. This is a good text too. There's always going
to be another iron Man that he can train for.
But this might be the only baby they have so well.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Regardless, No, but here's the thing, this will be the
only first baby they ever have.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
And if he does that race, I mean, it's the
only baby I guarantee you. It's like.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Like like I was saying to my son who's getting married,
and I'm like, the most important advice I said, I'm
trying to because the thing is when when a dad
tells a son or a kid. Because I know I've
been on the other end of this, right, You don't
want to hear a whole bunch of stuff from your dad.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Are you going to listen anymore? But I want to.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I want to put this information in his head so
badly because it's so important. And I said, if there's
one thing that I can tell you, the most important
thing going into a marriage or a relationship without a doubt,
is spend time understanding what the other person perceives as love.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Because we all feel love in different ways, we all
expect to have different expectations.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, I mean, what makes me feel loved it might
be a little different from what makes you feel loved,
But you gotta find out what that is in the
person you're with, and then you have to make sure
that you're delivering it and that you also have explained
what you need because it's a two way street.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Every I don't you feel like almost every problem comes
down to communication.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
It totally does.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
But that simple little thing that I just said, I
think is the most I mean, that's again me just personally,
just me wet job, Michael J. But I think that
that is the most important thing to a marriage.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
How about this as a counterpoint, Someone just texted you
said she could be mad at him for years for this,
but he could resent her for not letting him do
the race.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Uh uh no, I'm telling it does. If he does,
he shouldn't be married to her. He shouldn't because they
it's your priorities.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
They change when you get married.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
They have to. Yeah, throw them out, throw everything out
the window. If it's all about me, me, me, me me,
that is not going to work in a relationship. It's
ninety three point one w POC traffic.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
It's got to be give and take. I mean it
just it has to be.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Yeah, all right, anyway, Okay, I think we've solved it,
all right, Okay. Uh So, eighty three southbound between Pleasant
Street and Fayette is back to be

You're listening to Michael J and Bethany after hours.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Ninety three point one WPOC went you in the worst.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Way the funniest text yesterday about the song? Right, what happened?
I think Ernie was like her in or Brenda.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Or something I'm assuming right, and she said the worst
way is standing up on a hammock?
Speaker 5 (00:29):
What ninety three point one w C.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Now, can somebody top that text us right now? Seven
seven six two? Begin your message with higher, Hey, what
is the worst way? All right?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Well I can top that. Today all sorts of new
taxes go into effect in Maryland. You really do need
to know about a lot of these, and I'll start
in no particular order. Okay, the sales tax on cannabis
products increases from nine percent to twelve percent. Taxes on
(01:03):
sports betting increasing from fifteen percent to twenty percent. Wow,
snack foods and advertisement images, they say, vending machines and
visual advertisements are going to be the targets of a
small tax increase. What we'll see snack food was originally
exempt if you bought it from a vending machine, but
(01:26):
it will now be subject in the state of Maryland
starting today, to a six percent tax. Milk, yogurt, fresh fruit,
vegetables purchased from vending machines will still be exempt from
sales tax. All right, okay, but if you go for
the pork rinds, look out six percent.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Officials expect to raise nine point one million off that change.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Just the snack food. Yes, we love our snacks. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Vehicle fees officials have struggled to find well, this is
garbage anyway. It is all those vehicle fee like the uh, well,
they've shelved. This is the good news.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
A variety of new or increased transportation fees aim to
raise about five hundred million annually. But ideas like toll
increases and the seventy five cent fee on Amazon style
deliveries got shelved. But they say they have struggled and
they're looking for some way to come up with some
more money. So they're gonna they're increasing income tax in
(02:25):
the state of Maryland starting today. But there's good news.
And let me just run this down real quick. You
can figure out where you'll be. They say sixty percent
of Maryland taxpayers will see their state income tax decrease.
Oh really, an average of forty three dollars one third
and they say one third will see absolutely no change.
(02:46):
And then anybody making more than two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, well you're going to be paying a little
bit more. And they say, on average that small pool
of people will be paying about eighteen hundred dollars more
in their state income tax.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Ninety three point one WPOC traffic.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
So I guess you got to figure out where you are. Well,
thanks for bumming us all out?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
All right, Well, I've got to bring it to you
your cannabis. Any you go get for those gummies? Nine
to twelve increase? Okay, all right, all.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Right, US one southbound the off ramp to one hundred
and one hundred southbound closed right now due to an accident.
Looks like rescue response is there the accident. It seems
to have happened on the actual ramp. Liberty Road eastbound
and westbound at Ridge Road closed right now due to
a structure fire. There's a disabled vehicle on the right

microphone was stiff, and I'm trying to answer the telephone

interact with every single person in this honky talk, but

pay their bills for a month. No way, Yeah, he
looked him up. He's like, y'all are doing a good
job for a month, fifteen people? What do you think

not belittling anybody who's younger, but you just don't have
the same awareness because you haven't had as much life experience, right,
And all I'm saying is is that a younger guy,
if I could go back and do it again, I
would certainly sit down and be one hundred percent more
sensitive and really understand where this other person's coming from.
(13:18):
That you've created a baby.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
With try to be more empathetic. Yeah, and you got to.
You just have to. And that's what she's.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I mean, if you want a relationship, you need to.
But the thing is, everything seems very easy when you're
twenty seven and thirty and thirty.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
I assume is your girl from late thirties, okay, late thirties. Yeah,
well I don't know. So she said, you will enough
to know better. Yeah, I'm not trying to judge. I'm
really not. Oh no, No, it doesn't sound like you're judging.
It sounds like you're giving advice.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I think that's what's the best thing I can say.
You know, we all need therapy.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
That's that's what I.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Think I've come to figure out. Yeah, but we would
love to get your input.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
What the Cab.
Speaker 11 (14:03):
Ninety three point one WPOC cab Morgan Wallen and Ernest
on that song Cab on The Michael J Morning Show,
Michael J and Bethany.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
We've learned a lot so far this morning. Let's recap.
It's July.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
First.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
We learned that you'll have good luck if you run
around saying rabbit, rabbit.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Yep to people. Yep. I don't know why that makes
you lucky. But look, I'll try anything, right luck.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
We learned that of all the inventions during our lifetime
that Bethany's favorite invention is the air fryer, invented in
two thousand and six. And I learned that it's called
an air tag, not an air pod. My favorite invention,
hands down. Air tags. I put them on everything. Well,
(14:57):
I mean, I've got them with my keys, and my
wallet and my brain. They were invented in twenty twenty one,
so just a few years, a couple of years ago. Yeah,
where would we be without air tags? Put one on
your iHeartRadio app, so you know you can find it
right there on your phone. Yeah, but no air Seriously,
air tags are the bomb. We've also learned that this
(15:20):
girlfriend of yours who lives in Florida expecting a baby
in August, better set her husband down and set him
straight or he's going to be regretting it for the
rest of his life.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Yeah, he is supposed to be doing an Ironman in October,
and she's ticked off on text. I'm pretty sure the
guy can defer his Ironman registration to another year. It's
not about the actual day of the event. It's about
the commitment and time involved in training up until that point.
She's very pregnant and about to have a newborn, and
he should rethink his decision.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I'm telling you, it's the biggest mistake of his life.
It's that crucial because I look back on things that
I've done wrong and I should have been I should
have done things that I haven't.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
In other words, I should have been there more at
certain times.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
And maybe that's why this decision for him to not
do the race seems so clear to me. I'm like,
he just needs to not do the race, like because
once you've done once, you've been around the block. But
I think new parents often don't know just how much
of a commitment they're about to.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah, I mean, the first child changes your life more
than anything else.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
The second not as much, because you already got everything
what you're in for. Right, This is a good text too.
There's always gonna be another iron Man that he can
train for. But this might be the only baby they have.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
So well regardless, No, but here's the thing, this will
be the only first baby they ever have, and if.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
He does that race, I bet it's the only baby.
I guarantee you.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
It's like like like I was saying to my son
who's getting married, and I'm like, the most important advice,
I said, I'm trying to because the thing is when
when a dad tells a son or a kid. Because
I know I've been on the other into this. You
don't want to hear a whole bunch of stuff from
your dad.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Are you going to listen to anything? But I want to.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I want to put this information in his head so
badly because it's so important. And I said, if there's
one thing that I can tell you, the most important
thing going into a marriage or a relationship without a doubt,
is spend time understanding what the other person perceives as love.
(17:27):
Because we all feel love in different ways.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
We all expect have different expectations.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, I mean what makes me feel loved it might
be a little different from what makes you feel loved.
But you got to find out what that is in
the person you're with, and then you have to make
sure that you're delivering it and that you also have
explained what you need because it's a two way street.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Every I don't you feel like almost every problem comes
down to communication.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
It totally does.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
But that that simple little thing that I just said
I think is the most I mean, that's again me
just just me, watchoub Michael J. But I think that
that is the most important thing to a marriage.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
How about how about this as a counterpoint, someone just
texted you said she could be mad at him for
years for this, but he could resent her for not
letting him do the race.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Uh uh no, I'm telling it doesn't if he If
he does, he shouldn't be married to her. Oh he
shouldn't because they.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Priorities they change when you get married. They have to, Yeah,
throw them out, throw everything out the window. If it's all.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
About me, me, me, me, me, that is not going
to work in a relationships.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Three point one w POC traffic.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
It's got to be give and take. I mean it
just it has to be Yeah, all right, anyway, Okay,
I think.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
We've solved it, all right. Okay.
Speaker 12 (18:49):
Uh So, dude, worse.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Ninety three point one WTOC went you in the worst
way the funniest text yesterday about the song.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Right, what happened?
Speaker 4 (19:17):
I think her name was like Aran or Brenda or
something I'm assuming, right, And she said the worst way
is standing up on a hammock.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
What ninety three point one wpo C. Now, can somebody top.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
That Texas right now?
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Seven seven six two? Begin your message with higher? Hey,
what is the worst way? All right, well I can
top that. Today all sorts of new taxes go into
effect in Maryland. You really do need to know about
a lot of these, and I'll start in no particular order.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
The sales tax on cannabis products increases from nine percent
to twelve percent.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Okay, taxes on sports.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Betting increasing from fifteen percent to twenty percent. Wow, Snack
foods and advertisement images, they say, vending machines and visual
advertisements are going to be the targets of a small
tax increase.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
What we'll see.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Snack food was originally exempt if you bought it from
a vending machine, but it will now be subject in
the state of Maryland starting today, to a six percent tax. Milk, yogurt,
fresh fruit vegetables purchased from vending machines will still be
exempt from sales tax. All right, okay, but if you
go for the pork rinds, look out six percent. Let's see.
(20:41):
Officials expect to raise nine point one million off that change.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Just the snack food.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Yes, we love our snacks. Yeah, vehicle fees. Officials have
struggled to find.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Well, this is.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Garbage anyway, It is all those vehicle feet, like the
emissions thing.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Uh uh, Well they've shelved. This is the good news.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Variety of new or increased transportation fees aim to raise
about five hundred million annually, but ideas like toll increases
and the seventy five cent fee on Amazon style deliveries
got shelved.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
But they say they.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Have struggled and they're looking for some way to come
up with some more money. So they're gonna they're increasing
income tax in the state of Maryland starting today. But
there's good news. And let me just run this down
real quick. You can figure out where you'll be. They
say sixty percent of Maryland taxpayers will see their state
income tax decrease. Oh really, an average of forty three dollars.
(21:38):
One third and they say one third will see absolutely
no change. And then anybody making more than two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, well you're going to be paying
a little bit more. And they say, on average that
small pool of people will be paying about eighteen hundred
dollars more in their state income tax.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Ninety three point one WPOC traffic.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
So I guess you got to figure out where you are. Well,
thanks for bumming us all out.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
All right, well that I've got to bring it to
you your cannabis any you go get for those gummies
nine to increase Okay, all right, all right?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
US one southbound.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
The off ramp to one hundred and one hundred southbound
closed right now due to an accident. Looks like rescue
response is there the accident. It seems to have happened
on the actual ramp. Liberty Road eastbound and westbound at
Ridge Road closed right now due to a structure fire.
There's a disabled vehicle on the right lane is blocked
on the interloop at Park Heights Avenue, and then we're

Seven seven ninety six to begin your message with higher Hey,
all right, So one of my best girlfriends This is
in Florida, where I went to college. She's pregnant, Okay,
she's doing like I don't know, like the end of
August or something like that. Right.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Her husband signed up for an iron Man in like October. Well,
you know he participates in these every year, right.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yeah, I wouldn't say every year, but he has before, right,
So I think she was hoping he might skip this year.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Well, he's obviously an iron Man.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
She's expecting, right, and she's upset because he's not going
to be around. He's not taking part in her life.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Well you know, I mean, like she's going to have
the baby like August thirtieth, Yeah, he can't be and
he's going to be training hard. He's going to be
training hardcore for that Iron Man that's like October fourth
or something like that. And it's like less than six
weeks after her due date. And she's like, uh uh no,
Like you're in baby mode where you're in on paternity.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Is this baby number one? Yeah? Okay? And so she's
ticked off. She's like can you believe this? She's on
the phone me the other night and I was like, ahh,
Like I don't know what to tell her, Like well,
they need to have a sit down.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
This is this is the kind of thing that twenty
years later you will be going through therapy and dealing
with you when baby was born and you well, no,
in all seriousness, yeah, I look back and we all
make our mistakes.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
This is one for him.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
He's falling into a big So you think he should
cancel the race? Yeah, Well, I mean they need to
have talked about this already. I mean, but it's not
too late to sit down and talk about it. And
he needs to come to a census. And you know,
especially on the first baby. Yeah, because you don't know
where you're going once you're going to the hospital. I mean,
it can be an easy delivery, it could be a
(27:15):
difficult delivery, and then you got the baby and up
all hours you gotta have the Well.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
That's what he said. He's like, it's it's six weeks
after your do day, like everything will be fine by then.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Well what about when the training that goes on between.
That's he is just in complete denial. And he's a
really good guy. So I don't want to be like, no,
I'm operating guy.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
No, Look, I'm just saying for I'm going through this
with my son right now, Okay, because he is. There's
a zone Like I look back on my life when
I was twenty seven, I thought I knew everything, I
had the answer to everything, and if I didn't, I
had to fix it right away. That's my twenty seven brain, right.
(27:55):
You learn as you get more mature more. And I'm
not belittling anybody who's younger, but you just don't have
the same awareness because you haven't had as much life experience, right.
And all I'm saying is is that a younger guy,
if I could go back and do it again, I
would certainly sit down and be one hundred percent more
sensitive and really understand where this other person's coming from
(28:20):
that you've created a baby with.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Try to be more empathetic. Yeah, and you got to.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
You just have to. And that's what she's I mean,
if you want a relationship, you need to. But the
thing is, everything seems very easy when you're twenty seven
and thirty and thirty I assume is your girl late
thirties okay, late thirties.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Well I don't know. So she said, you will enough
to know better. Yeah, I'm not trying to judge. I'm
really not.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Oh no, no, it doesn't sound like you're judging. It
sounds like you're giving advice. I think that's what It's the.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Best I can say.

You know, we all need therapy. That's that's what I
