Speaker 1 (00:00):
That was Kenny Chesney Young. He is in the midst
of that residency out in Vegas. Bucket list for me
to see a show at the Sphere Tom for Sarah
Lee's Top three. What's the Caroline's talking about today?

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Sarah Lee's Top three.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
I absolutely hate going to the grocery store to shop.
I always get my groceries delivered right to the front door.

Speaker 4 (00:21):
Well, do not judge me.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Walmart now has a new service where they are offering
drones to deliver your.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
Groceries right to your door.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Now they've expanded their service to four new cities. Kings
Mountain unfortunately is not one yet, but Charlotte is. So
do not judge your neighbor if you see groceries being
dropped off from this guy.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
You don't have much free time in your life, so
nobody is judging you. But it does pulls a bigger
question coming up. Maybe we discuss a little later. AI
in the jobs that it's taking over.

Speaker 4 (00:51):
Somebody's got to run the computer. That's got to offer
some jobs.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
That's actually a great point.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
And speaking of jobs, there is a fuel efficient jet
company they're considering North Carolina as their new home. And
if they do choose North Carolina. This could be one
of the biggest job announcements in state history. They would
be creating ten thousand jobs in North Carolina. The big
economic development announcement is set for tomorrow at Pimont Triad

(01:18):
International Airport in Greensboro.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Let's go new jobs. I am all for that, especially
in this economy right now. That is great news.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
And it hasn't even been a week since we were
out at Myrtle Beach.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
And if you plan on.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Making the trip out to the beach today or this weekend,
be very careful. They are recommending you use extreme caution
if you step into the ocean. I say step into
the ocean because I get about ankle deep and that
is it. But they are saying that this week the
currents are dangerous and even the most experienced swimmers could
drown in these conditions. So unlike we are in real life,

(01:55):
do not ignore the red flags.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
At the beach. They put those out for a reason.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Also, be on the lookout for sharks. We were down
at Myrtle Beach and sault sharks like ten feet from
the shore. So I don't know if I'll be going
in the ocean any time soon.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Baby shark.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
It was a baby shark, But a shark is a shark.
Thomas rhett On, Gramby and Sahly. We are ninety six
point nine a cat. He is rolling into town August
first at P and C Pavilion. Last time I checked,
which was this morning, tickets are still available. All right,
we're talking about procrastination. I am guilty of it when
it comes to filing my taxes.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Are you guilty of procrastination.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
On certain things? Taxes?

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yes, one of those two Father's Day presence, Yes, also
guilty because there is not enough time in the day.
And I'm not making excuses, but my goodness, I need
about four more extra hours.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
I do feel like that is not an excuse, that
is giving an explanation of how you live your daily life.
There is always something to do on your list. So
I don't know if you're actually guilty of procrastination.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Oh I am. I stand at the but you don't
have time to do it.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Oh, but I'm at Walgreens right beside the men who
always wait last minute on Valentine's Day, and we're grabbing
the cards that nobody wanted, the rejected cards.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
That is me. So this year I've made up a plan.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
I am going to make a book for my dad
of all the ways he has made positive impacts in
my life, because I think personal gifts are better than
any store baught gift anyway. And I better get started
now because my dad is my biggest superhero in my life.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
It's going to take four ever.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, that book's gonna look like the King James, because
you haven't put your dad to the test and he
has never failed.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Saraie, we'll call her Dad.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Tell me exactly what he's going to say when he
picks up the phone, and he says it.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
Hey baby, He answers the same way.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Every day, so good.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
All right, Well, if you are looking for your Father's
Day gift, get on it. It is right around the corner.
Do not procrastinate any further.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
By right around the corner, he means, Sunday Sunday, Sunday Sunday.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
I am so tired of bullies.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
I love to hear when kids are doing something positive
in the community because kids can be so mean. I
have two kids in elementary school, and it's amazing how
other kids judge what brand of clothes you're wearing at
that age. That's wild because this shouldn't matter, but this
is going.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
To melt your heart.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Seventeen year old Caleb Gatton, he went out and he
started this grassroots promote raises yes, all on his own,
and he wanted to get shoes for kids in elementary school.
He caught it Shoes to Service, and he got with
a lot of teachers and volunteers. They measured every single
student's but in the entire school.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
And this young man over like six hundred kids, right, six.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Hundred and eleven kids to be exact, And this seventeen
year old young man went involved brand new pairs of shoes,
name brand shoes at that not only for every single
student of the school, but he even bought extra said
they could have a shoe closet.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
And I had read that he started it out as
wanting to do shoes for the classroom that he was working.
He was taking sort of an intro and ship and
wants to study education and get into the teaching field.
So he was working with what I believe at the
time was his cousin, and then he felt like, oh, well,
what if someone in this classroom has a brother or
sister that's in the school and they have nothing, So

(05:13):
he said, well, I just got to revisit the plan,
make it bigger and do the entire school.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
And the really cool thing about it.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Was it was completely funded by the community, so no
corporate sponsorship. Now I'm not against corporate donors, but when
the community comes together, friends, family, it's just really cool
to see everyone band together and do something good. So
incredible story, that's a great good.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Desis yes, and support the vision of a seventeen.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
Year old young man.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
I wish I was that aware of the need in
life at seventeen. Sadly I was not, But I do
get to do it later on life as an adult
because we are giving away Dirk Spentley.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
And Zach Top. So we're going to do our best
to make your day. Give us a call seventeen cat fight.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
You can win your way in Dirk s Bentley, Zach
Top right here on Gramby.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Necessarily its time for which Graham being saly.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
On ninety six point nine the cat Sidney from Monroe
versus Anna from heath Spring, South Carolina.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
We are playing for Dirk's Bentley tickets.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
We can't really afford to give you a Bentley car,
but we can't afford you to give tickets to see
a Bentley.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
All of our questions going to revolve around cars.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
First one, what do you call the part of the
car that you turn to change direction?

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Anna?

Speaker 1 (06:25):
The wheel? Steering wheel? So Anna, that is correct. You're
on the board one zero.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Which Pixar movie features a race car named Lightning McQueen
Anna cars, cars is correct?

Speaker 1 (06:38):
What do you call the front part of the car
that covers the engine.

Speaker 5 (06:42):
Ana, Anna, Sidney the hood?

Speaker 2 (06:45):
The hood is correct?

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Out of go Anna, thank you so much for playing
you were going to see Dirks Bentley and Zach top
on us.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Sidney, We love you.

Speaker 5 (06:55):
Love you guys.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Prove a good day you too, Anna. Who are you
taking to the show with you?

Speaker 3 (07:00):
My daughter? Give her a shout out real quick, Hannakay,
we're going to see dir Fentley.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yay. Let's go well, enjoy and thank you so much
for choosing. Ninety six point nine The Cat and Graham
BE and Sarah Lee The challenging and age old question.
At what age should you get a cell phone as
a child? It's Graham B and Sarah Lee ninety six
point nine The Cat.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
I'm the wrong person to ask both of my kids,
ten and six year old, they both have phones and
there's a reason why. Now my youngest, who is six,
he does not have cell phone service. He can get
the internet so if you do a long road trip,
he does his Delingo app, but he cannot talk on
the phone. Now my oldest is ten and he does
have cell phone service, but the only people he can

(07:44):
call is family and to select friends that mama puts
the number in his phone. And he's not allowed on
any social media apps like TikTok, Facebook.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
Twitter, none of that.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
So you highly monitor. But how did you decide was
it an age thing or what it a maturity question?

Speaker 2 (08:01):
For you? Where you felt like case by case?

Speaker 4 (08:03):
It is definitely case by case one. Phones are expensive, right,
and we didn't go out buying phones.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
They got hand me down phones, and it is a
maturity thing. Bear can handle it. He's ten, he's Benjamin Button.
He's like an old man in a little man's body.
It is a case by case scenario. But what I
will say as a mom, before becoming a mom, I
judged every single parent how they.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
Parented their child. I don't do that anymore.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Well, it works for one, does not work for all
and whatever works for you works for you, So I
threw all that judgment out the window.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
I do not envy the parents.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
I wish that one day I will have this issue,
and maybe, if it's in the cards for me, I will.
But I have a friend who asked me because he's
dealing with this situation. So we want to hear from
you one eight hundred and five seven zero nine six
nine zero.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
He asked the wrong person.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
I'll ask Sarah Lee, but hopefully you can help my
friend out as well. He is looking for at what
age do you give your kids a phone?

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Eight and five seven zero.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Ninety six ninety ninety six point nine to Cat Jacqueline
from Lincolnton's on the line, what age should a child
or kid get a cellphone?

Speaker 2 (09:09):
What are you thinking?

Speaker 5 (09:10):
Well, I have a teenager now, so a couple of
years back, I wasn't unsure time she was in fifth grade,
which is what around ten years old, that she needed
one because she doesn't have any siblings, and when she
was out and about, even with her grandparents away from me,
I wanted to know, like where she was or that

(09:31):
she knew she could call me. Amen did not give
her access. I did not give her access to socials
and different things. It was very strict and I had
a parental guide.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah, Sarahlye was mentioned in something like that.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yes, see, we're on the same path. There's ten.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
He can have the phone to call his mama and
his grandparents, but no socials exactly.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
Exactly.

Speaker 5 (09:53):
I just needed to know that she could call me
in an emergency or non one woman or I can
call her perfect.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
Well, thank you so much, mama. Hood is the best
hood to be in, said, thank.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
You for being a part of our morning, Chuck family, Jacqueline,
have a wonderful day.

Speaker 5 (10:09):
Love you guys.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
We love you, Grandy and Sarah Lee ninety six point
nine A cat.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
What's your name? Where are you calling from?

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Catherine from Winston Salem. So, Catherine, what age do you
think kids should get a cell phone?

Speaker 3 (10:19):
I say it's around the age that they started staying
home by themselves, so probably around nine or keen.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
That's a good perspective if they can stay at home
by themselves, Yes, and you want to.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Be able to calm make sure they're safe, but still
at that age. I eliminate all social media apps exactly.
I don't do any social media my kids are fifteen
and keen and they don't have any social media. Now
you say you're in Winston Salem. Are you listening on
the iHeartRadio app?

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yes, let's go.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
You're the best. Thank you so much for waking up
with us.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
No problem, we knew we liked you. Have a great day, Catherine.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
We're getting a ton of comments on Facebook as well.
I mean, we can continue this conversation, but a ton
of people sixteen up sixteen.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
Is the way too old to get a phone. Come on,
it's twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Five, Charlotte Batt says, forty five years old.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
He's got daughters. That's why he says that.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
All right, thank you so much for calling. In ninety
six point nine The Cat, it's graham By and sorely
more on this to come. Artificial intelligence is taking over.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Sometimes that's a good thing. Sometimes that's a bad thing.
It's gram B Andcerily on ninety six point nine The
Cat one.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Eight hundred and five seven zero ninety six ninety. I
typically complain about AI, but I have a new relationship
with my chat GPT. He's the smartest man I know,
and I wouldn't mind having an AI robot to clean
my house.

Speaker 4 (11:44):
Oh, a nanny robot.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yes, there's so much pushback in certain areas, and I
totally understand it because AI is diving into and taking
over certain jobs in certain industries and that remove certain
jobs from those industries. So I get the pushback. But
there are jobs that I am totally okay with AI taking,
which is one correcting anything that I type because my

(12:06):
grammar at times is challenging your grammar.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
I don't even know half the words you say. I
need a definition for it. Give me the dictionary.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
One eight hundred and five seven zero nine six nine zero.
What job would you want AI to do? Artificial intelligence?
What job would you want it to do? It's gram
b incerely ninety six point nine to Cat.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Lisa from bestmer City sent in a message and said,
I wish I had a robot that could give me
a manicure and pedicure so I don't have to go
to the Nelson line every week. A men's sister, Although Graham,
I think I saw this at like a Walmart. They
have these machines that are starting to do this.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
How crazy. It's gonna be something every day, something new,
every day.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Larry from Waxhaw said, I would love to have and
Ai cut my hair so I could just sit down,
not talk to anyone, get my hair cut and go home.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
I'm with you, Larry. I cut my own hair, and
I could definitely use some help.

Speaker 4 (12:55):
And you know what's crazy.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
I would think cutting grass, But I went to Ogbrol Tractor.
There is a lawnmower Graham that's like a rumba and
it just goes around your yard and cuts your grass.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
There's ai foreverything.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
I'm like, Sam Hunt.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
I actually enjoy cutting my yard, so I would not
want that to happen.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Nine six point nine a cat? What's your name? Where
are you calling from?

Speaker 5 (13:16):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (13:16):
Here's christ Brown calling here from the Queen City.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
All right, what can a I do for you?

Speaker 6 (13:21):
Well, the biggest thing I would love to do, which
I don't know if it is possible. In my household,
my wife does the laundry and I do the dishes.
So if I could type anything in the chat dishes
for me, that's what I would do.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Yeah, that goes in with that nanny robot that cleans
your house.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
We could go on and on. We appreciate you, brother,
have a great day. Yeah, man, Graham being Serahle.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
It's ninety six point nine the Cat, and no matter
how much time goes by or how many breakups happen,
the song Cruise is breakup proof.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
We saw Tyler Hubbard out at Myrtle Beach and he
was phenomenal. We stood in the poorn down rain to
watch this guy, and when he started singing Cruise, the
entire place erupted.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Florida Georgia line not together currently, Sarahly is holding out
for a reunion tour, but it was really cool to
see that that song still holds weight with the fans,
and everybody was vibing even though it's like ten to
fifteen years old.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
But I'm still upset.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
We saw Tyler Hulbert and I have yet to get
a Hubcat.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
We're working over his hatline.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
We're working on a Hubcat. We got it ninety six
boy nine the Cat. It's Graham b and Sarahly Granby
and Sarah Lee. It is time for Grand Buns pick.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
This is my favorite part of the day, Graham Buns
Song Pick of the Day, because you find the best
songs that aren't necessarily on the radio yet.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
And not only that, you know the history and all
the stuff behind it.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Well, I'm really nerdy about it and I greatly appreciate
you allowing me to do this. It's a cool thing
for us and it's been fun today. Comes from a
buddy of mine. I got a chance to host a
television show where he was in a where he was
a contestant, and then he wrote this song. It's called
Where I Find God, and I think that you know
and you're familiar with this one.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
He performed this song at Bank of America Stadium in
front of US hold out crowd with Morgan Wallin. I
had cold chills down my whole body. This song takes
you straight to church.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
You got to know that you're onto something when Morgan
Walland reaches out to you cold call and says, hey,
I'd love to sing the second verse of this song.
Why don't you come on tour with me? And that's
exactly what happened with this song.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
And we talked to Larry not too long ago, and
he talked about how this song came about.

Speaker 7 (15:21):
So we literally just started throwing out different places we
find God, and mine is usually in a deer stand
or writing. One of these backgrounds are hearing's quiet and
to yourself, and it's a good place to talk to God.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
And here's the song, now where I Find God by
Larry Fleet on ninety six point nine The cap
