Speaker 1 (00:00):
Caitlin's Entertainment Report, He's on the Bread.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Show and Atlanta Braid's reporter is getting slammed after asking
a couple of women for their numbers during an interview.
And I skipped the story yesterday, but it's really being
talked about a lot, so we're gonna talk about it
today if you missed it. Braves Sideline reporter Wyley Ballard
was interviewing two women in the crowd at Toronto's Rogers
Center on Monday when his colleagues, who were back somewhere else,

(00:25):
encouraged him to get the women's numbers.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
I have the audio if you want to hear. Yeah, please,
this is a dude, Wiley Ballard on TV trying to
get a fans.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Now. I had a lot of phone up here off
the Corona rooftop. Who do we got you with? Your name?

Speaker 1 (00:38):
My name's Lauren Laurence Sorr and I'm Kayla.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Kayla, and you guys hang out the rooftop lounge.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Often once a year I come out to visit.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Okay, we talked it pretty well, A good How are
you guys doing my roof for the Braves today? I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
I'm hoping for the best.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
What about you are you braves? Fan?

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Now not? Quiet?

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Quiet, all right, I'm gonna go to work up your guys.
Good luck the rest of the way. Okay, Wiley, we
got five innings, four innings to get the numbers on it.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Because they're good looking women, both of them, yes, some
more brace fans.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
All right, So they want me to get your number.
They want you to get there. I'm dead serious, they're
saying to my right now. Shouldn't believe it because she
thinks you guys are are not making this up. Even
if you guys weren't, I might use that in the future.
That's actually pretty good move. This is unbelievable. So the
best part of this right now is that while they
could totally be faking and this might be the new move,

(01:34):
and she's like giving her of the phone and phone
in the ear, piecing and convinced fans, apparently she does.
I should have thought of his years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Anyways, I guess he does. I don't know after all
that he gets the number.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah, this might be the new moves, what his coworker said.
Many sports reporters, including my friend Alyssa, later took to
social to slam them. One person wrote, this is the
This is one of the most insanely inappropriate things I've
ever seen, Like, I legitimately cannot believe it's real.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
That was mL BE editor Katie Feldman.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Dallas Morning News baseball reporter Evan Grant wrote, if a
female sideline dugout reporter did this, she'd be called horrible
names and probably be run out of town. Others defended Wiley,
who took to social media to celebrate getting the women's
number by posting a meme.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
So people are arguing online about whether or not this
is appropriate. I saw Jason's.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Jaw on the floor, so he reacted probably one way.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
So I don't know everyone's arguing about that.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Tate McCrae had fans freaking out with an Instagram story
hinting at a possible collaboration with Morgan Wallin yesterday, she
shared a close up of an orange University of Tennessee
football jersey with T eight and MW on a patch.
This tease follows this Instagram story last week where he
said I haven't seen one person guest the female collab
on this album correctly yet. Morgan's fourth album will feature

(02:51):
thirty seven songs, including five Billboard Top ten singles like
justin Case and the title track on the Problem. He
also recently confirmed on x that the album includes his
first ever duet with a female artist. People were guessing
country names like Miranda Lambert, but it.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
May be Tate. It looks like post. Malone also teased.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
A collab with Morgan called I Ain't Coming Back. It's
going to drop this Friday, April eighteenth. It comes after
the pair released I Had Some Help last May. In
other music news, Benton Boone announced his upcoming album, American Heart,
that's set to drop on June twentieth. His single sorry
I'm Here for someone Else, which is great, will be
included on that. Benson is also scheduled to perform on

(03:30):
SNL on May third.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
He did Coach Hell last weekend.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
He was channeling Freddie Mercury or Elvis as Keithy said,
and he will also be doing it this weekend. By
