Host Check In
  •  HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICK JONES!!!!! 
  • Congratulations to Idaho for getting rid of the words in their continued race to the bottom
  • Dept of Homeland Security raids the homes of Sean Combs- puff the magic sex trafficker, the Diddler (someone said this “will be like HW or JE but to the 10th power,” and like-- y’all are racist!!!!)
  • Broke Boy DT is really selling $60.00 bibles that say God Bless the USA on them?!? 
  • The men convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery are really trying it! They’ve all appealed their hate crime convictions because life in prison is any shorter without it?   
  • In a surprise to absolutely no one at all, Urban Alchemy moved a staffer accused of sexual assault and harassment from San Francisco to Portland AFTER the lawsuits began.
  • KAMALA HARRIS NEEDS A GARY REAL BAD
  • Waffle House workers are on day 3 of their strike for safer working conditions, better pay, scheduling consistency and for the  Meal Deduction Policy to end. That policy deducts $3 for a meal from every worker, every shift regardless if they eat or not. WH’s business model has built in wage theft that’s taking in over $30m back from workers
LEAD STORIES RUNDOWN
  • LOCAL
    • Gov. Kotek gives problematic wife state position and security detail, presumably to get back on her good side and lose reelection before we even really know her name. Proving Democrats still have no clue what priorities are or what optics means
  • NATIONAL
    • The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed, which sucks, but basically what they get for being such a woke city that prioritizes DEI over safety standards
Playlist: List the songs played on today’s show
  • I’m So Into You -SWV
  • Punkie - Sean Paul
  • She Loves Everybody - Chester French

  11. (00:31:59) I cannot text the way I just laughed
  12. (00:43:30) Can't help but, Continue to feel, and now think that Ted did this shit on purpose! Urban alchemy .
  13. Or could it simply be that they were falsely accused. Bahbahbha aha
  14. https://youtu.be/TD3shhJdxo0?si=JdWcAyU7ngAtagjq
  15. Uff, never been, sounds like the Waffle house, most likely has one " did~he", adult working there in a bunch of youth. To work after school. And then they gotta worry about people showing up and beating people up. Sounds like the old Portland Rustling, "matches with waffles" with less stink, maybe.
  16. (01:00:37) Ryan here. You guys are my favorite show. On the topic of tips versus paying wages, don't overlook the thousands that aren't going into social security and workers comp when you live off of tips.
  17. No , Eat your Food! tina
  18. Sennabella says all this food talk is so hard for her..
  19. I just want to meet the guy.. After two days he was found alive and refused medical care. Prioritizing, ending fear in the work place. Prioritizing. DEI working and failure to serve our immigrant communities. PORTLAND
  20. (01:09:14) When you said "making it about race" I thought it was going to be about how 6 immigrant construction workers who were on that bridge are presumed dead... but of course, it's someone blaming it on DEIB.
  21. (01:10:29) Cause I am certain the black mayor built that bridge and chose to name it Francis Scott keys.
  22. (01:10:49) I know social media comment sections are a cesspool. But the amount of people calling him things like a high school drug dealer or saying he needs to learn how to speak better after he delivered a flawless response during a tragic incident really grinds my gears 
  23. (01:19:10) The talking point: The wealthy create jobs. My response: Without the millions of people who DO those jobs there would be no wealth.
  24. (01:20:18) Wait,!! all of the Midwest is owned by Saudi Arabia. that's there grass for their racing horses… Think bigger people!!! Happy Birthday Dad!! P~town.♡
  25. (01:20:38) Morgan and Ambush, we should get together and I can read your tarot. Hearts Crystal
  26. Think ~about~ Thursday!!  ♡
  27. Wait this is meeeee Michelle. Also I had already sprinted to my phone to get my RSVP for this tarot party!!
