Send us app chat messages and openline voicemails using the WBSM app. Now, the Tim Weisberg Show And welcome back in hour number two of the program here on Tuesday morning. And uh all this week we are asking you to vote in our Red, White, and U photo contest. So we have the photo entries at wbsm.com and on the WBSM app. And we want you to vote on which of these photos is the most patriotic. The winning photo scores a $250 Amazon gift card. and we're gonna crown the champion on July 4th. So, you have until July 4th to vote. I forget what time we turned off the voting. But, uh, you have, uh, I think it's probably like until 11:00 or midnight or something on Friday night, but uh, you can get there and vote now at wbsm.com and on the WBSM app. Take a look at all the photos and vote for your favorite. There's uh photos of houses, there's photos of flags, there's photos of fireworks, photos of kids, photos of dogs. It's uh there's a lot there for you to get your patriotic spirit ready for this weekend. So again, it's our red, white, and you photo contest, and you can vote for the winner now. $250 winner to celebrate America's 250th birthday. And when I was going through the photos and and and putting them up there, you know, one of the rules we have to have now is no AI photos because it would be too easy for somebody to just put in a prompt and say, you know, make my house look like it's decked out for Fourth of July and then just post that and say that this is done. I was pleasantly surprised that uh every photo that we ran through the AI generator uh the AI detector rather no issues not even some edits you know and that's like if you edit something in your photo it's going to leave an AI trail now which I think is a little bit unfair like if I'm taking out uh you know my thumb from a photo but you know that's It's It's been enhanced. It's not the original photo that was taken. So, but imagine back in the 70s and 80s if you'd had the ability to take out, you know, the red eye back then or the light streak that would show up in the middle of the photo. You'd always get like that weird cuz somebody would have their hand too close to the lens or maybe there was a strap on the camera that got too close to the lens and it would have like that that white glowing portion. Like that was one of the first things I learned when I started becoming a paranormal investigator and researcher. And people would ask for me to look at their photos and say, "Well, what do you think of this?" Uh, the very first thing I learned was to ask, "Is there a strap on that camera?" Because most of the time what it was was a strap. Thankfully, now we've reached the point where most people don't have straps on their cameras anymore because there are cameras of their phones and If you have a strap on your phone, that's just a little bit weird. But I get it. Some Some people are afraid of losing it. I was thinking about this the other day. Uh actually, I was talking with my son about it, too. Like back in the day, we used to have beepers and they started off really big, but then over the years the beepers got really small and then it became like who has the smallest beeper? And what you would do is you would clip them on your pants, like not on your belt or anything, but like on the inside on on the on the pocket. Kind of put the beeper inside your pocket and the clip is on the outside of the pocket. Or maybe you had one of those interior pockets in your jeans and you put it in there and uh even then you could drop it, you could lose it. So they started selling these these beeper chains. So, just like you can get a wallet chain, you would get a beeper chain and you'd be walking around with your little beeper chain hanging down and then your beeper was all bedazzled like we thought we were cool. And then you had your codes for everybody, your codes to let them know, you know, like so, uh, my friends, I would I would make their codes all their birthday. So, if you you don't have to send me your phone number, just send me your birthday. Because back in those days, I could actually remember remember phone numbers, remember people's phone numbers. I've I've lost that ability over the years thanks to my cell phone. But like you knew if it was like 1204, it was like, "Oh, oh, John's calling. Oh, I got to call John back. Let me go find a pay phone." And you can find a working pay phone if you if you ever want to have the kids use one to say, "This is what it was like, kids." You can go to Rewide Restaurant and Arcade and Wear him on Main Street. They have working payoneses. Bring quarters. They actually had to put a sign up on the wall said, "Please do not call 911 from these payoneses because they're real working payoneses." You still see a few now and then out there in the wild. There was one, I don't know if it's still there, but there was one over at the Westham Cland Farms and I tried to make a phone call on it and uh didn't have any quarters. So, just for the novelty of making the the the phone call on, I didn't actually, you know, I could have used my phone, my cell phone if it was necessary, but you don't really see a lot of them around. If you know of any uh pay phone locations, send them to me on the WBSM app or shoot me an email, timbs.com. Bonus points if you can take a photo. But maybe maybe we'll put together a little list of uh all the cell phone loca cell phone pay phone locations remaining on the south coast. And it's not just is there a pay phone there. It doesn't work. Kids, back in the day, if you want to call your friends when you were out on the road, you had to pull over and go find a phone and then you had to put quarters in it. or some people remember only putting in a dime and then you would just go like I used to love going to like a a bank of phones like at the mall or I remember Westgate Mall in Brockton had like a whole line of payoneses and you just walk down there and stick your finger in there and you'd probably walk away with 3545 cents. people were forever leaving their their coins in the pay phone. And then you had the the wise guys that had the uh slugs. We had a pay phone at the diner, but I also had the newspaper guy had left behind it's like a fake quarter on a curling plastic handle and it's so it's what he would use to put into the machine to open up the machine. So you would you would put this in to mock like you were putting in 50 cents or whatever and then the door would open and he could load up the the load up all the newspapers. I said, "Well, why don't you just have a key?" He goes, "Cuz there's like a hundred boxes on my room. I have to have 100 different keys, but this I can just use this." And so he gave me one and we used to use it to make phone calls on the pay phone. Anyway, 5089960500 app chat and openline voicemails on the WBSM app. Again, that arraignment is happening today for the woman who was the Attalboroough woman who is accused of of murdering her infant son in 1985. This is part of DA Quinn's project to identify unidentified bodies. And there were a number of cold cases that they were looking back into and trying to utilize modern science and modern techniques on these cases that, you know, 40 years ago they didn't have those kind of tools. And and apparently this is, you know, at least led to an indictment. We'll see where it goes if if there's a conviction. But this mom is accused of leaving her infant son behind in the woods. And I I don't I don't understand that. I don't understand how anybody can can leave a, you know, can murder a baby, let alone leave a baby somewhere. But we should get more answers on that today. I believe 10:00 a.m. is when they're going to have that arraignment. And there's going to be a press conference with the DA outside of Fall River Superior Court. and they'll probably provide more details then. Looking at TJ with the uh forecast here, it's literally expected to get to 100°. So, be aware of, you know, where where your cooling centers are. If you are not with, you know, if you don't have air conditioning, you don't have a place you can go to that has air has air conditioning. I'm sure the mayor will talk more about this when he comes in, but the city has a number of places that it is designated as cooling centers. So, the main library will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Uh, the other library branches will all be open as well to to be cooling centers. Seniors are welcome to go to the Buttonwood Park Senior Center, which will be air conditioned. It'll be open Wednesday and Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Buttonwood Park Zoo will be closed Thursday through Saturday to keep the animals indoor because of the heat. And the city has extended lifeguard coverage at East and West Beach. So, lifeguards will be on duty until 7 pm on Thursday and Friday. So, you can spend a little bit more time at the beach cooling off that way. And the city also wants to remind you that there are splash pads at a number of parks around the city including Riverside, Brooklon, Ashley, Klaskkey Common, Bogard, Pina, Harrington Park, Magnet Park, Benrose, and Monty's Park. They all have splash pads, so that's good for the kids. Grown-ups, don't don't run in there and hog up all the water at the splash pads for the kids. They need it. I remember, you know, when my son was younger, I was like, "Splash pad? How is that fun?" Like, what's fun about that? Just a bunch of water shooting up. And so, uh, then we went to a a party at a splash pad and I was like, "All right, this this this kind of cool even as an adult. Uh, I kind of like this." So, uh, you know, I'm not saying you can't run through it, but I'm just saying don't don't hog it. Don't take up all the the water from the kids. All right. 5089960500 app chat open line voicemails on the WBSM app. Let me get a break in here. We will be back in a few moments. Today on the pod, we're talking to Megan, trapeze artist and scratchers enthusiast. So Megan, what do you like about playing scratchers? Well, they're easy to play when I'm hanging around. Oh, okay. Like when you're relaxing? No, like when I'm hanging on the trapeze. I swing upside down, then do a quadruple somersault, all while playing a scratchers. Watch this. Tada! Unbelievable. I know, right? Scratchers from the California Lottery. A little play can make your day. Please play responsibly. Must be 18 years or older to purchase player claim. I never considered myself to be a heavy drinker. At first, I only drank with friends, then to get through the day. I hit rock bottom when I realized I was choosing alcohol over my family. That's when I made the call. With my doctor's help, I was diagnosed with alcohol use disorder. Now I'm getting to the root of my addiction and finding better ways to cope. Mental health care works when you make the call. Visit mentalhealthcareworks.org. A message from the American Psychiatric Association Foundation. I thought it was a rash, but my doctor said it was a tick bite. Ticks can spread Lyme disease and other illnesses leading to chronic health issues. My brother was always having asthma flare-ups. A roach problem at home was causing it. Allergens left behind by roaches and rodents are a major driver of asthma attacks. When I had a fever and bodyaches, I never thought it was West Nile virus.

We weren't sure adoption would happen for us, but when it did, it happened three-fold. Mary and her husband first met their three children when they became their foster parents. Little did they know that their house would become the siblings forever home. We had to help them adjust to the idea that they wouldn't have to leave. Children in foster care have lived and survived so much. We had to help them process their trauma. And now to hear our children say that they know they have a mother and father who take care of us, teach us, and love us means everything. The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption is committed to finding safe, permanent homes for the longest waiting children in foster care. I not only love these kids, I am just so proud of them.

And of course, we were talking about the red, white, and you photo contest. And I was taking a look at some of the votes. And it's it's close. It is close. So, if you want to get over there and cast your vote, you can do so at wbsm.com and on the WBSM app. The voting will go through Friday and then we'll announce the winner on Saturday. And uh thank you to everybody who submitted photos and to the folks who are going over there and voting. Not that you know every every photo is patriotic. They're all very good. But uh we want to know which one you think is the most patriotic. And don't forget to speaking of patriotism. On July 4th on Saturday at 12 noon, we are going to have a reading of the Declaration of Independence here on WBSM. figured that, you know, we needed to commemorate that in some way. Even though I I know that uh Santos on Sports will be live that morning. They're going to come in and do a live show. Uh Ken Pitman is going to be off. Jose Mtos is going to be off. I believe Brian is going to be in. So, you know, we'll still have some live programming for you, but you have the option at noon of tuning in and hearing the Declaration of Independence. I'm sorry that it's it's me reading it and not somebody with uh more gravitas to their voice, but uh you know, maybe maybe we can upgrade it in the future, but for this one, we're just going to try it with me reading it. But it is, you know, a chance to reflect and you can open up a book or a website or uh on a tablet, anything that has the Declaration of Independence for you to read and you can follow along if you'd like. But we just wanted to acknowledge America's birthday in some way. And that seemed like a a good way to me. It was kind of something that some radio stations would do for a long time. And again, another one of those radio traditions that has kind of fallen by the wayside that we can we can bring back because why not? If we can bring back Alice's Restaurant, if we can bring back the the national anthem, which we play every day at at 5:30, that's another thing that stations don't really do anymore because they don't sign off anymore. I'm sure you remember being a kid. You'd be staying up late watching TV and then there would be the uh the national anthem and then it would go to the test pattern or the snow or whatever because stations would sign off. Now they don't. Now they stay running 24 hours a day. So with no sign off, there's no need for that. I used to love the uh the Channel 56 national anthem presentation. They had a a really cool like video montage and a and a rousing rendition, which was okay when you were watching it at like 5:30 in the morning getting ready for your kids cartoons before school. not so okay if you were watching it at like one o'clock in the morning or whenever they were going off the air because it it seemed really loud when you were like I don't want anybody to know I'm awake watching TV at this time. But that's why you know the the version we use of the national anthem is a very stirring rendition because it's it's reminiscent of those starting your day with the national anthem type performances. Also it's the one from Poltergeist which I totally did on purpose. my favorite movie of all time. All right, let's go into the newsroom, get all the top stories of the day from Mike Roberts. On the other side of that, we'll have today's edition of the Gen X Files. So, take it away, Mike. Wildfires still burning in Colorado. Changes to student loans beginning tomorrow, and yearbooks recalled in one New Jersey school. From the Cottage Street Motors WBSM newsroom, this is WBSM News.

The Supreme Court allowing mail and ballots postmarked by election day that are received after election day to be counted. The court issued the 54 decision yesterday. The ruling said a Mississippi law that allows mail and ballots to be counted if they're postmarked by and received within 5 days of election day is not preempted by federal election day statutes. President Trump has announced his nominee for ICE director Gabe Gutierrez reports. Trump said he's nominating Lance Shroyer for the role. Shroyer is a close ally of Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen who calls Shroyer a great pick. The agency is facing new scrutiny with a DHS watchdog set to review an increase in deaths of detainees at ICE facilities. A DHS spokesperson saying in a statement that there has been no spike in deaths. Trump instructed the Senate to quickly confirm Shroyer, who is a former Oklahoma State Trooper. He would succeed current acting director David Venturella. Also this weekend, President Trump toured some of the Washington DC area sites where he's planning renovations, including Lafayette Park and Memorial Circle, where he wants to build an arch. Big changes coming to student loans starting tomorrow that limit how much people can borrow and how they repay. The changes are part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed into law by President Trump last year. Loans will be capped for parents at $20,000 a year and $65,000 per student. Grad students will be capped at $100,000. Borrowers will also have only two repayment options, the tiered standard plan and a new plan based on income called the repayment assistance plan. The law also gets rid of the Biden era save plan, so borrowers there will have to find a new option. I'm Tammy Trillo. Nobody hurt after someone sprayed bear spray inside of a lower Manhattan hotel. Officials say the spray was released around 8:00 yesterday morning during an argument between two people on the 20th floor of the Hilton Double Tree. Several hundred guests and staffers had to be evacuated. A few people who came into contact with the spray were checked out by EMTs. No arrests have been made. Cleanup efforts are underway after a massive fire at a cold food storage warehouse in California. But it appears rats have gotten there first. The facility housed 85 million pounds of meat, poultry, seafood, and bread and has started to rot with a rat infestation complicating efforts. The spoiled food also creating a foul stench which is being carried downwind from the building. The LA Fire Department officially turned management of the situation over to the operator of the facility and they've hired a restoration service for cleanup, but a timetable for completing is still not set. A North Jersey middle school has recalled all of this year's student yearbooks after a picture of an infant Adolf Hitler was added to the baby photo section. Eastbrook Middle School principal Ryan Oppperly called the picture's inclusion a severe breach of the district's values and said they are investigating to see how it happened. Pamis police also filed a bias incident report and notified the Bergen County prosecutors about the case. There will be no mention of former NFL running back OJ Simpson on the wall of fame at the new Highark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. The Buffalo Bills CEO says Simpson is not a fit for what the Bills family and stadium represents. Simpson spent nine seasons with Buffalo and died of cancer in 2024. But his time on the field was overshadowed by his many legal problems, including the so-called trial of the century involving the murders of his ex-wife and her friend. Simpson was acquitted of those charges, but years later found guilty and sentenced to prison for robbing a group of people at a Las Vegas casino WBSM Sports.

And welcome back in. If you know anybody that is going to the Ariana Grande shows that are happening in Boston later on in July, well, just as something to be aware of, some of the dates have moved. So, I know these were hot tickets and and people were fighting to get them. People were waiting in online in line online for hours and were unable to get the tickets. Uh we were lucky enough at Fun 107 to get some that we gave away. So, just in case, you know, you had a winner in your family or somebody that you know that was going to the show, uh, it the the shows have been moved. So, the concert that was originally scheduled for Wednesday, July 22nd has been moved to Thursday, July 23rd, and the concert originally scheduled for Friday, July 24th, has been moved to Sunday, July 26th. The previously scheduled Saturday, July 25th performance will take place as originally scheduled. So the reason for this is quote to ensure the full production can be delivered safely and as intended. So, I I don't I think that that might mean that they need more time to set up that when they arrive in town on Wednesday that um or or on Tuesday whenever they're they're actually going to get here that they need a little bit more time to set up the stage design than originally thought, which I've never I I don't recall this happening before where an artist moved the dates of the shows because of the staging. But I'm sure it's a I'm sure it's a very elaborate production with this show. But if you were already planning on going, maybe you had already made arrangements and all and then you know now the show gets moved. That's that's that's a tough thing. But at least they're not cancelled. They're definitely not going to cancel these shows. They're all sold out. No blue dot fever for the Ariana Grande tour. But I can imagine that reres havoc reres havoc with a lot of people's plans. 5089960500 app chat and openline voicemails on the WBSM app. I think I saw a familiar face or or a familiar voice I guess we could say at the Doobie Brothers and Santana concert last night. Mr. Johnny One Note, I think I saw you there. Was that you? Let me know. But it was great seeing a lot of the listeners there. And uh I also got to see a friend I hadn't seen in a long time as well. I posted something and his wife messaged me and she's like, "Oh my god, he's coming over to say hi." So that was that was pretty cool. Uh but it was a great show. It it's listen any qualms you have about going to shows at the Exfinity Center. I wouldn't I wouldn't feel like those things are are still in place. The this season the traffic has been flowing better than it ever has. It's still a little frustrating, of course. Uh when I was heading there yesterday, my GPS told me to take 123, which normally it's telling me that because there'll be a major traffic backup if you've gone to the 14, what's it? Exit 29 or something like that. Now, I forget. It used to be 12, but it's like where you can go to head toward Foxboro the back way. And then you kind of turn around, you bang around, and then you come back on 195. It actually takes you to 140. But that's the way I would normally go. But if it's not, if it's telling me not to go that way, it's usually I'm guessing it's because that's pretty backed up because it's right there by the entrance. But instead, it had me go the other way, which was even more backed up, I think. But I And then when I was pulling in, because I was coming from that direction, I'm on the left side, which I I hate being on the left side. that I hate going to lot 10, lot 11. It's a shorter walk into the venue, but it seems like it takes longer to get out. But both when I went to the Black Rose a couple weeks ago and yesterday, both times I was out of that parking lot 25 minutes after I got in my car, which is not bad at all. Not bad at all. where in the past you'd be there, you know, it'd be an hour before you can get out of there. So, if that's, you know, one of your concerns, especially on a week night when you got to get up and go to work the next day, don't worry too much about that. uh you know the and and here's here's my absolute 100% best tip I can give you for the 2026 Infinity Center season. They have $2 hot dogs. The snack bar, the the concession stand has $2 hot dogs. Now, these aren't the they're not good hot dogs. They're basically like the equivalent of the ones you get at the gas station off the roller. We were also paying two bucks for a hot dog. But when you are at the show and you didn't get a chance to have dinner, a $2 hot dog is a heck of a deal. The food's not too expensive there anyway compared to, you know, some other venues, but it's still pretty pricey. Uh, I went to go get a beer at one point and then walked away because they were $20 for a can of beer. 1950. Or if you wanted something else, it was $23. And I was like, "Yeah, no thanks. I'll just stick with my bottle of water that they let me bring in. You can bring in a sealed bottle of water up to a gallon." So, with my bottle of water that I purchased at the store and my two hot dogs, I had I had a dinner for like six bucks. 5089960500. Good morning. You're on WBSM. Yeah. Hi. I have a fast way out of there, but I don't think it would be for you. Uh, we jump off the wall and Yeah. As you're going out the main leaving the concert, going out the main gate, it'd be to your right and there's a wooden wall over there. So, probably about 12 feet high. Yeah. What we do is we hang and jump and and we just get a little fall after that and then we're out. That's it. That's how we get That's how me and my friends get out of there. That's pretty impressive though. Yeah. Not the girls are there, but No, we have to do it the normal way because they can't jump. But we do. If the guys are there, we we jump off the wall and and uh get out of there. One of the first cars out. That's That's pretty impressive. Yeah. Well, I I probably won't be stealing that one cuz it's it's you know, I'm only 5'5. It'll be hard for me to climb. I I can't picture you doing that. All right. Have a good day. I just wanted to tell tell you guys that. Thank you so much. Have a good one. All right. 5089960500. I I hope I hope he doesn't think I would do that because I'm short and but I I was uh I was looking at some of the uh side roads as I was coming in from that other way and so many of them all have these signs up that say, you know, no concert traffic and I was like, "Wait a minute. So, could I have gone down like if I had gone down those roads, would that get me in?" But they do a pretty good job of filtering everything through that main gate. So, uh, I will say this though, the it confirmed for me last night that the sound is better than ever. I could hear every instrument in the bands and uh, and considering the the musicianship they had last night, it was it was perfect. So, definitely an upgrade. Now, the downside to that is, you know, if you were used to going to these shows and being able to have a conversation with somebody next to you, it's it's definitely too loud for that now. But that's all right. I'm there for the music, not for you to bother me and talk to me. All right, let's take our final break of this hour. We will be back in a few, Emily. So, not only are we going to have the fireworks broadcast that's going to be happening on Friday night simoc cast with the fireworks downtown and thanks to Rahoba Seleman Lenny Mills Jr. Trembley Bus and me and Tojo Mexican Restaurant for sponsoring that. But the music's going to continue on June June gez July July 16th Tim July 16th with Joe Jesus's 50s night in downtown New Bedford. It's going to be happening.

And uh thank you to them for helping us make this happen. And you'll be able to hear all of that music. Again, we can do that because we're not recording it and podcasting it. That's why we've run into problems with the music here on the on the talk shows is because Queen Carvania stood haloed by the morning sun. An army hung on her every word.
