Speaker 1Good morning at 6.07. Barry and Holly back again. It's going to be a good day, at least the first half of it. Rain's on the way later today. So if you have stuff to do, I'd say do it this morning. But most people don't like to do stuff in the morning.
Speaker 6They want to pace themselves. You can't peak too soon, no. Can't peak too soon no.
Speaker 1No, because you've got like a whole day ahead of you and it's a beautiful morning. And now it's a beautiful morning at sunrise this morning.
Speaker 6I know it was beautiful. I posted it on Powers page because I do all the social media.
Speaker 1Yes, you do.
Speaker 6And I had such a pretty view over the Jeep as I was walking out this morning.
Speaker 1As you were driving in across the tundra to the station. Yes, but there is a good chance of rain later. Just keep in mind 80% chance. When you hear this, people always say say, oh, it's going to rain all day. Uh, no, what they're showing is there's a good chance you can.
Speaker 1You're going to see rain at some point today yeah doesn't mean it's going to start raining like in a minute and rain all day right, but there's a good chance because of the radar shows, uh, that we may see a pop-up shower. It's going to be very scattered, pop-up showers, maybe a thunderstorm off and on today, but some of you may not see a drop. But there's a better than normal chance you could see something today. 83, the high. At least you're not getting that heat wave Out west. They were showing some record highs already coming this way, over the upper 90s and over 100 in some states today.
Speaker 6Yeah, so my friend Danielle and I. Their air is out and they're hitting the heat wave and their house is over 90 degrees outside, oh my goodness. And they have a newborn, oh my goodness, that's tough.
Speaker 1I know that is very tough, I know that is, but we're not going to get that heat. For some reason it's going to kind of stay above this area. But the week overall looks pretty good. The only change in the weekend weather they've at a slight chance of rain Sunday. But hey, if you have outdoor plans really Thursday, friday and Saturday looking good, sunshine and like low 80s for those three days. Dog food total are you ready? Got a brand new total? I'm ready.

Speaker 1That's the only rule Yep Got to be in the picture.
Speaker 6And we don't care if you've got your grandkids with you. Nope, we don't care if you've got your kids with you. Yeah.
Speaker 1It's A $3,700 Toro Time Cutter Max 50-inch riding mower courtesy of our good friends at Bonds Appliance Lawn and Garden in Guntersville and official spokesperson Jamie Sinners. We need to have Jamie come out and join us one more day.

Speaker 6How do you?
Speaker 1know Things you need to know this morning. Here we are. What? The fourth day of June? What's going on?
Speaker 6today. Today is National Cheese Day. What a good day.
Speaker 1What's your favorite kind of cheese?
Speaker 6All of it, I even love blue cheese.
Speaker 1Okay, I'll tell you this may sound stupid, I know it's probably not even a real cheese, but Velveeta.
Speaker 6Is it cheese?
Speaker 1Not really.
Speaker 6What is it?
Speaker 1Look at this, look it up. It's like a we did this before. It's like a cheese, processed cheese or something.
Speaker 6Oh yeah.
Speaker 1Because I was concerned one day, thinking you know most cheese, if not all cheese, goes in the refrigerator. That's when you find it on the shelf.
Speaker 6Yeah.
Speaker 1It's true, but Velveeta, it's something about. When you use Velveeta to make Rotel cheese dip, I think you've got to use Velveeta cheese. You do it makes the best cheese Velveeta is amazing.
Speaker 6And it makes a great grilled cheese sandwich, but did you know that those single individual packets like Kraft Singles they say, like cheese flavored product? They're not. It's not real. So the most popular cheeses in the world, number one is mozzarella I love mozzarella that's usually fresh, yeah. Number two cheddar love cheddar. Yeah. And number three this surprises me, but it's ricotta, ricotta cheese what?
Speaker 1what is that? Like a ital, you find it more in Italian dishes. Yeah, I'm surprised Parmesan is not in the top three.
Speaker 6No, I'm not surprised, but I am surprised ricotta's on there.
Speaker 1What do you usually use it for?
Speaker 6It's like the stuffing in shells and lasagna and noodles.
Speaker 1That's why I don't stuff shells very often, oh, you should.
Speaker 6No, you should always stuff the shells. I don't stuff the shells very often. Oh, you should. No, you should always stuff the shells. I don't, I don't want the pros to do it for me.
Speaker 6Here's something you need to know. A three-hour primetime concert special filmed during this week's 51st annual CMA Fest in Nashville will air on ABC on June 25th. The event will be hosted by Jelly Roll and Ashley McBride and it will feature highlights and the most memorable moments and surprise collabs from the festival, which is set to take place from June 6th to June 9th.
Speaker 1Starts Thursday. Now it's still a challenge to our listeners. We have a lot of listeners who go to this every year. Now people always ask you go to CMA Fest. Right, I've never been. We do a lot of stuff at CRS which is different, but we've never been to CMA Fest. But anybody who's going up there this week if you get a picture or two of maybe you and the artist, please send it to us. We'd love to see your pictures, because we have a lot of folks who go to this and spend the entire weekend.
Speaker 6I would love to go to this.
Speaker 5We should in one year. So if they send them to us, we should all load up like station-wide.
Speaker 6Everybody load up Exactly, get in the van.
Speaker 1But the tickets are hard to get.
Speaker 2Are they, they sell out, oh.
Speaker 1So if anybody from here is going they're going to be in Nashville this weekend and you get a picture, please send it to us.
Speaker 6To send us a picture.
Speaker 1If they run into somebody in Nashville.
Speaker 6Oh my gosh, just email it to me or send us a.
Speaker 1Facebook message. We'll post these and we'll put up a whole big post on this. We'd love to see your photos.
Speaker 6All you have to do is just send it to our Facebook page and we'll put it up there.
Speaker 1Well, maybe they'll have. Looks like they're going to have good weather too.
Speaker 6Yeah, good.
Speaker 5Looking at.
Speaker 1Nashville's forecast. It looks like about like ours, so it's going to be pretty good weather. That's good.
Speaker 6Well, I read this morning that NASA is launching a satellite to say sorry to all the aliens in outer space.
Speaker 1Well, that's nice, very nice.
Speaker 6The satellite will be called Apollo G.
Speaker 1Apollo G. Apollo G.
Speaker 6I got some bad news for you before we go. No, velveeta is a cheese product.
Speaker 1Sorry, I didn't think it was real cheese.
Speaker 6Scott Chambers says he's been doing some research over here.
Speaker 1If anybody knows the cheese, it's Scott. Yeah, because I think at one point he was a cheese cutter.
Speaker 6He was a cheese cutter.
Speaker 1I heard that If anybody can cut the cheese.
Speaker 6It's Scott Chambers. It's Scott Chambers. Yeah, Nobody can cut that cheese like Scott.
Speaker 1Oh man, you're telling me. If you listen closely to some of his newscasts, you can hear him cutting the cheese in the background. He's multi-talented.
Speaker 4Wow, Absolutely 6'16" Barry and Holly on Alabama's Country, Giant WQSB Jelly roll halfway Jolly Roll, halfway to Hell.
Speaker 1Like Holly was telling a few minutes ago, he's going to be at CMA Fest performing on the big stage, and he, along with Ashley McBride, will be filming and hosting. Have you ever watched one of these when they go back and show the highlights of the CMA Fest? It is so cool. No, I've never seen that. It's a three-hour show. Yeah, and they break down and show like the highlights and they always have. Usually Thomas Rhett and Kelsey Ballerini hosted. This year it's Jelly Roll and Ashley McBride.
Speaker 6I think it's two good choices.
Speaker 1Yeah, but I love Kelsey, I would have loved to have seen Kelsey Ballerini host it. I bet you they may have a delay. Mic on Jelly Roll because you don't know what's going on.
Speaker 6You never know what's going on. Or even Ashley, come on, you don't know what's going on. Yeah, she's rough, she's a little spicy.
Speaker 2Yes she's spicy.
Speaker 1Yeah, but anyway, cma Fest, if you're going to Nashville this week for it. If you get any good pictures, please send them to us. Yes, we would love to see them.
Speaker 6We would love to see them and love to post them, so just send them to our Facebook page or you can email them at holly H-O-L-L-I at WQSBcom.
Speaker 1Yep. Well, it's good to be gone. I found this story last night and this is a little weird. Okay, you've got, of course, the Democratic and the Republican National Conventions coming up in a few months Well, actually probably a few weeks but Milwaukee is hosting the Republican National Convention and I saw a list and they're having some complaints. Milwaukee is hosting it, having some complaints, milwaukee is hosting it and one of the delegates there is complaining, saying that they just found out that there's a list of things you can take into the convention center, things you cannot take into the convention center. You would think guns would be one you couldn't carry in. Well, yeah, according to this it says assault rifles are loud, but not metal water bottles.
Speaker 6Wow, what sense does that?
Speaker 1make no idea. According to the story, one of the city councilmen, also in Milwaukee, said this is crazy. They're concerned about their list of things you can and cannot. Another thing that you cannot take inside a tennis ball oh, come on. Tennis balls and water bottles are not allowed in the convention center, but you can carry a fully loaded AR-15 assault rifle into Fully loaded, fully loaded, into the security perimeter of a major political event. No, yes, no, they're allowed, no sir, if you walk in there with a metal water bottle.
Speaker 1they're going to say hold on, sir, you must take your water bottle back to your car.
Speaker 6You know what they've done? They've taken away things that can be thrown, like a tennis ball or a water bottle.
Speaker 1I would much rather have you hold a tennis ball in there than have a gun pointed at me.
Speaker 6Yeah, Now I'll tell you this. On TikTok, there's been a trend where people have been throwing water bottles at performers.
Speaker 1This has got to stop too.
Speaker 6Yes, absolutely.
Speaker 1Have you seen this? Bebe Rexha was injured a couple of days ago.
Speaker 6Yeah, cardi B, there's been a few. There's been quite a few, but I see them on TikTok, where they've gotten hit at festivals with water bottles.
Speaker 1They think the reason they're doing it if I read this because they're getting a friend next to them to video them throwing it and then hoping their video will go viral, not thinking that, okay, you're about to be thrown out of this concert, possibly arrested and you could do some jail time All because you're trying to get a TikTok video recorded at a concert People will do anything to get famous. Just to get famous for a few seconds Even go to jail and you have a chance of hurting somebody.
Speaker 1If you hit them in the eye, you could injure them forever.
Speaker 6I wonder what justified the tennis ball. You know something had to happen. Why a tennis ball? It's like listen, I've got an idea. It's just like McDonald's has that warning on the back of the coffee because somebody did a lawsuit. The warning says hot caution, and somebody got burned by coffee won the lawsuit. I think something happened with the tennis ball. What?
Speaker 1could have happened.
Speaker 6What could make me a story? I don't know. We could chat GPT this on our next break. We need to.
Speaker 1We could, because what could have happened with a tennis ball that is so bad that you've got to outlaw them coming into a convention center? I mean even a tennis ball, I know. Even if you get hit in the face at the most it might hurt your glasses.
Speaker 6It would suck At the most, but it's not going to take you out.
Speaker 1No, if you get knocked out with a tennis ball.
Speaker 6you're a wimp, but I promise you something has happened with this tennis ball, to make them be that specific. Yeah, because why would? And I didn't even touch this one a loaded AR.
Speaker 1It's apparently allowed, according to this.
Speaker 6So you're going to let people go into a political debate that are already fired up?
Speaker 1There's people already fired up because we said politics Already arguing with each other. Yeah, right now in the car and they're going to be in the convention center together arguing over what's going on with a loaded gun.
Speaker 6No, that's not a good idea. No, make it make sense. None of this makes sense, yeah, so Okay.
Speaker 1Well, I just want to know the reason why the water bottle and the tennis ball not allowed, Not allowed. Something had to happen somewhere with the tennis ball, oh yeah, the only thing that could happen is you got to hit in the groin with it. That's the worst that could happen.
Speaker 6Oh, is that a 10 out of 10 pain?
Speaker 1Yeah, it could happen, oh is that a 10 out of 10 pain. Yeah well, a tennis ball. I could probably shake that one off.
Speaker 6I mean, what's the odds of them smacking you in the middle, though?
Speaker 1Yeah, that's got to be a good shot too, That'd be a good shot, you've got to have a good arm. Yeah, you've got to have some power behind it.
Speaker 6Somebody would stand up and say, sir, have you tried out for the big leagues, while the other guys doubled over in pain?
Speaker 1you're in milwaukee the brewers need a new picture we're gonna sign, you won't you come try out tomorrow because you got a heck of an arm. You just double that guy over. Yeah, glad you didn't throw the water bottle at him. Thank you could have put a red spot on his head. Yeah, 629 sp. Before we go any further, we have to congratulate our listener of the day. Looking at at her picture, I'm taking it that she posted something concerning the podcast yesterday she did.
Speaker 6She laughed at something that I had said. Yeah, I know that's fine. Yeah, and so it's just me, I'm the funny one, and what's her name? Her name is Deanna Renee.

Speaker 1She's in number four. This week on the show Brand new music chart came out and I tell you Bailey Zimmerman. He's released four songs. All of them have gone to number one and where it ends is at number one again two weeks in a row.
Speaker 6I cannot believe that Jelly Roll didn't jump up to number one.
Speaker 1He still stuck one spot behind him. He stuck at number two. So Ashley's moved up a spot, kenny Chesney stays at three, and then you've got Bailey Congrats number one for two weeks in a row.
Speaker 6Which Kenny Chesney song? Let's see, take Her Home, yeah.
Speaker 1So Post Malone moves up to number six.
Speaker 6Oh six. You know that's going to hit number one.
Speaker 1Absolutely.
Speaker 6It's playing everywhere. I heard it yesterday at like a subway.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, Somewhere wherever I went for lunch, it is so good. It's just a good feel-good song.
Speaker 6Yeah, it is, I love it.
Speaker 1I got a question for you and we're going to give listeners some information about you that they may not know. Okay, the question is for all the listeners to ask themselves 35% of Americans think that they can host a remodeling show like a DIY, yeah, diy.
Speaker 6Yeah, do it yourself. Then no, not DUI, not DUI DIY.
Speaker 1Americans 35% think they have the skills Wait it DUI, Not DUI DUI. Americans at 35% think they have the skills Wait it's DIY.
Speaker 6I said DUI.
Speaker 3Do it yourself.
Speaker 6Sorry, we got hung up on that DIY.
Speaker 1I'm a DA so I don't know. So about 35% of them, Fill in the blanks yourself on that one.
Speaker 1That's so funny but 35 of americans think they have the skills to host a home remodeling show. The surveyed 20 000 people uh-huh and I believe I know a lot of people who are very good uh, carpenter work, things like that probably couldn't. They have the personality to do this. Uh 48 are unwilling to tackle plumbing or electrical work on their own. They always call somebody. But 35% of those say I think I'm good enough to be able to host my own show if I ever had the chance.
Speaker 6Oh yeah. So here's the fun fact I tried out for and got pretty far advanced in the I think it was NBC show Making.
Speaker 1It, making it with Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman. I love that show.
Speaker 6I had to send them my portfolio. I had two Zoom call interviews and they said are you going to be okay, Like part of the filming, is you're gone for six weeks? Mayor was like two at the time.
Speaker 1I couldn't do it, so did this happen back during COVID, or when did this happen?
Speaker 6It was right before COVID because they canceled the series during COVID. But it doesn't need. That is cool.
Speaker 1Yeah, I tried out for a TV show. You were that close to me, I was that close, so if you'd been willing to travel, there's a good chance you would have been on the show. Yes, there's a good chance you would have been on the show. Yes, I've watched those shows.
Speaker 6I had one girl say that I was in the top running to be on the show. She was like you're one of our top runners.
Speaker 1Because they've had what? Two or three seasons. Yeah, I love that show.
Speaker 6I love that show too, and I love Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman. I just wanted to go to meet them.
Speaker 1Now let me ask you would have put you on that show? Oh my gosh barry that is like some listeners may not know I've seen your videos and I know what you do I
Speaker 6for five years was a youtuber and instagram uh, I don't want to say influencer, because I'm not an influencer, but I would just I showed diy stuff. I used my platform as a form of therapy for depression and encouraged others to do the same. Especially, it was huge during the pandemic. I had tons of people watching because everybody was at home trying to find stuff to do at home. So what I did was I showed people how to craft at home, and I would go live every day. I had a little workshop.
Speaker 1What kind of crafting things do you do?
Speaker 6I do T-shirts, I do tumblers. Have you ever seen those epoxy tumblers? Yes, I have. They're glittery real pretty.
Speaker 1You brought some of those to work that you've done and they're beautiful.
Speaker 6Yeah, they're really nice, they are.
Speaker 1Yeah, and you have a following. You would, even if I'm you can tell more about this, but you travel around the country. Yeah, and you did like. What would you call them? Seminars, or what would you call them?
Speaker 6Yeah, I did workshops, conventions yeah, I did conventions. I've been all over the place doing conventions and I have had the honor of meeting people, had the honor of meeting people and, fun fact, seven people have my signature tattooed on them.
Speaker 1No way.
Speaker 6Yeah.
Speaker 1So you like your autograph, basically yeah.
Speaker 6Isn't that neat.
Speaker 1Because there's such a big follower of you.
Speaker 6Well, I mean, that's an honor. I think I built a community that was uplifting and I think that, well, you have, and I had a big, huge focus on mental health, and Dave was telling us this morning that he attended a funeral of a 23-year-old that took his life.
Speaker 1That's tough.
Speaker 6And we just had a listener call and tell us that they had a 17-year-old try and take her life, which we're going gonna ask for prayers for them because they're still in the thick of it. But I don't want to ever ignore the fact that you have a platform and you have power in it, and I think that it's important to use that power for good, for good um messages, and I think that depression and mental health and and anxiety is something that I'm passionate about helping people through and helping and and I showed them how to do that through crafting it's very important yeah, because if you keep your mind, if you keep your hands busy, your mind isn't as uh mean to you exactly if you, if you don't exactly, if you sit around the house and do nothing, your mind focuses on the negative and you can really just beat yourself down to the point that you don't even want to get up and move around.
Speaker 1But if you stay busy and that's what you do and you have a huge following. You brought a lot of your followers to QSP and they're listening now. Oh, and I make it, and then, when you finish it, we could even maybe auction it off and raise money for Second Chance Shelter.
Speaker 6Yeah, I mean, we definitely could.
Speaker 1What do you think?
Speaker 6I've auctioned off a few cups. I raised $1,200 for the National Association of Mental Institutions.
Speaker 1That is great.
Speaker 6I did that a couple years ago and I love these tumblers. I love making them, and especially for good calls.
Speaker 1Let's do it, We'll put up a poll, Put something on Facebook and see if people would like to see you do this, and what we'll do is, if we get enough who say yes, then we will pick a day in the very near future and we'll film you doing this, maybe Facebook Live. What would you suggest?
Speaker 6Yeah, I think the Facebook Live would be fun because I can answer questions. So if anybody wants to learn how to do this, I can tell them about epoxy, I can tell them about the safety, I can tell them about the turners, because there's a lot that goes into it. I feel like people would have a lot of questions because the turners which is really cool have a lot of questions because the turners which is really cool epoxy has to be self-leveling, so the cups have to be completely level as they turn. So what we did when I first started was I stuck a pvc pipe through a foam football and attached it to a microwave motor and it turned it. We had over a million views on that, on that video. I had to take it it. We had over a million views on that video. I had to take it down, but we had over a million views on that video, so that stuff is amazing to me it is.
Speaker 6We showed people how to make these turners and anyway you have to have the turner. I hand turned for a while and it just didn't work the same. But anyway I can show. I think the Facebook live would be great because I can help answer questions along the way, but I'm only doing it if you come over to my house and help me we'll film it. Be glad to okay because you got to film it.
Speaker 1I'll be glad one handed. I'll film it with one hand, but I'll give it my best. But I think, because I've seen some of your work, you're very talented.

This morning it's cloudy and 70 and I'm looking at the uh, the tumbler. We talked about this a few minutes ago. Some people may not understand exactly when you say tumbler. Yeah, it's like a coffee cup, coffee cup or like other. What do you call it in this glasses?
Speaker 1I don't know, there's different words you have for them, but it's basically like Like a coffee cup or like other. What do you call them Glasses? I don't know there's different words you have for them, but it's basically like you have the Yeti cooler type thing, drink glasses or the Stanley things like that.
Speaker 1But you make some of these and you decorate them, and we were talking about you considering making one and showing how you do it, because you've done this off and on for years, and making a QSP one if anybody was interested, and you put a video up. So this is the one you actually made.
Speaker 6Yeah, this is the one that I made. This is from just the past few months and it's silver, but it's really pretty. I like it, it is very pretty.

Speaker 6Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1That you made.
Speaker 6Yeah, it is and, like I said, I show people how to do this. I have no gatekeeping here. I'm not keeping any secrets.
Speaker 1So any questions you guys would have during the video, I am going to answer them Okay, and you may even have to use a scrub daddy to help you clean up. I do use scrub daddy to clean up when I followed the story, I thought Scrub Daddy, is that a rapper? No, I didn't know.
Speaker 6No, I didn't know, it's not a rapper.
Speaker 1So what is Scrub Daddy? It's a sponge.
Speaker 6It's a sponge, yeah.
Speaker 1It's a name brand of a sponge and they come in like smiley faces in different forms. Okay, it's a donut that you can eat, but it's not. You can look at the picture on our Facebook page and it says Scrub Daddy is a type of sponge, scrubbing sponge and now they're making some new sponges, but it looks like a donut.
Speaker 6Oh, do you know what they've done? They put two in a pack. One is a Scrub Daddy, and it's orange, and the other one is a scrub mommy, and it's pink.
Speaker 1And one has like a bite taken out of the donut.
Speaker 6Uh-huh, Yep, I love that. This is good. Oh my gosh, that's so cute.
Speaker 1We've got to get some of these. Yeah, I can see this being huge. So now there's a scrub daddy, mama and a daddy, and one of these even has a bite taken out of the donut.
Speaker 6That's cute.
Speaker 1That is cool. So if you want to see more of that, check it out. All right time for the quote of the day. Had Dave mentioned this yesterday. He heard this and we've had many people mention this. These are encouraging. Sometimes they're funny, sometimes they're just something.
Speaker 6those words of wisdom something to help you think and maybe give you a little lift that you can feel free to share with everybody. So this one comes from zig ziglar.
Speaker 1This one comes from zig ziglar, he says be helpful when you see a person without a smile. Give them yours. That's as short and to the point as yeah, because how many times have you been walking around you're feeling bad, you're not happy and you look and see somebody smiling and you say it just makes you feel better yeah this does just even like a passing smile in the grocery store.
Speaker 6if I'm having a bad day, somebody gives me a little smile and makes me feel better.
Speaker 1Sometimes there's too many people with just sour looks on their face and occasionally you see that person smiling. You think, okay, they're happy. Yeah, maybe I can be too. Yeah, yeah, so just think about it, it's 714.
Speaker 4Barry and Holly on Alabama's Country Giant WQSB.

I'm excited because there's some new Cold Stone ice cream, there's new Dairy Queen ice cream and I love the Cadbury eggs. Now, how about the Cadbury mini eggs? The mini eggs? Oh yes, they're in a pack. You can now get these year-round, not just around Easter. But the new Cadbury Mini Eggs are made with Cadbury milk chocolate encased in a crunchy sugar shell and they come in a pack so you can get like a whole handful of them and have them. Usually you have to wait until Easter, but now they're going to be available year-round, they're in stores right now.
Speaker 6Those would be so good in the refrigerator.
Speaker 1Oh, yes. Now how about ice cream? Do you like the ice cream cone or do you like the Cold Stone Dairy Queen? Which one do you like?
Speaker 6I don't know. So let me tell you I'll make a decision. After huge to the Cookie Monster dip cone, yep. And in addition to the Summer Blizzard menu, they have brought out a Nutter Butter milkshake and a new confetti cone, a cherry dipped cone and a not-so-secret I don't know why it's called that peanut butter crunch cone.
Speaker 1So peanut brittle crunch cone. So I guess that's going to be very crunchy. If it's got peanut brittle that may break a tooth.
Speaker 6Oh, peanut brittle, Peanut brittle, ooh.
Speaker 1That may break a tooth, but I love peanut brittle Ooh.
Speaker 6but that would be so good, so this goes on your dipped cone.

Speaker 6Flavor-flav. I bet he would like this caramel truffle ice cream. This is a blend of chocolate and caramel. And then there's a stuck-together like caramel and fudge creation that has a Heath bar in it with swirls of caramel and fudge. Those can break a tooth. Those are very hard. I mean they could, yeah, yeah. And then the iconic birthday cake remix is back to bring some of your childhood celebrations. You can.

Speaker 4WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly.
Blind Dating Cafe Controversy
Speaker 1Daddy Come on man Mornings, come on man story A blind dating cafe. Have you ever heard of such a thing? No, never. Blind dates everybody does them, a lot of people do them. I never have, but some have. In Vietnam there's a blind dating cafe. It's a cafe that's coming under fire because it's a building. You walk into it. There's food and drinks and stuff. One room the men go in, the other room the women go in. Then you basically kind of mingle around, hang around while the men get to look at you.
Speaker 1The men can see the women through the one-way glass, but the women cannot see the men. People are not happy about this, saying why can you not let the women see the men too?
Speaker 6That's a big no, that's creepy, it is creepy. And it's also kind of like objectifying because you're not able to see and talk to somebody, you're just watching what they look like.
Speaker 1Basically they don't look.
Speaker 6Yeah, see, I don't agree with that.
Speaker 1To me it's like you're going to a cattle sale.
Speaker 5Yeah, and you see them bring the cows in and you bid on them.
Speaker 1It's like that's what they're doing to the poor women here. That's exactly what they're doing. They put them both in rooms and the men can see the women and judge them and look at them, but the women cannot see the men.
Speaker 6Oh my gosh, We've got to learn where boundaries are. I think this is one of those things where we're crossing the boundary.
Speaker 1I mean, come on man, that's not a good idea.
Speaker 6I mean I think, and then I told you before we went on air I was like maybe the women should look at the man.
Speaker 1But that's not fair either no I don't think you should get to observe anything because to be watched yeah you don't like you can be attracted to somebody and they may not be the most beautiful nope, on my outside first time you talk to them, you may realize they're looking good on the outside.
Speaker 6But there's nobody home, nobody's in. Nobody's checked in, no lights on Vacancy Die Exactly.
Speaker 1Anyway, they're getting a lot of complaints and I think they should.
Speaker 6I don't believe you. Where's this at? In Vietnam, vietnam? Okay, let's don't do it here.
Speaker 1I don't see it happening. No, it's 741.

Speaker 1They're known for having very rowdy parties. It's kind of like a bachelor bachelorette hot spot when they have like I don't know why this one area is. There's about 12,500 residents and the people I guess the mayor, whoever had to put out a little notice saying please stop putting your adult inflatable blowups in your yard. They're banning public displays of adult inflatables. They're saying if we see one in your yard, we're going to give you a ticket. You can get a ticket that could cost you up to $1,600 if you violate this rule. They're saying that they've had problems with this One. Last week they had a groom who was tied up to a lamppost overnight. A what A lamppost. A groom, no, no, no. A groom, a groom, a groom. Because they had a party and got a little too wild and they either got drunk and they tied him to the lamppost overnight.
Speaker 6Okay, I just had to make sure that's what you're saying.
Speaker 1Yeah, I said, I guess, to make sure he wouldn't walk and hurt himself, so they just duct taped him to the lamppost.
Speaker 5Okay, but the problem is they say that there's other people who live in the area who don't appreciate this, and they all know when there's a party going on, they have these blow-up adult inflatables out in the yard, I guess, letting you know that the party is here I would so be the talk on our face group in my neighborhood. Oh, do you have a face?
Speaker 1they might kick me out just so they can talk about me yeah, I didn't know there was such a thing that these they're like they're saying anywhere from six foot to 12 foot tall.

Speaker 6Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Are you talking about one of those women's inflatables? Like a woman that's inflatable, 12 foot tall.
Speaker 1According to this, there are some blow-up dolls and costumes that resemble body parts that have been banned, Some as large as 6 feet to 12 feet tall. Oh no.
Speaker 5What's the reason for putting them in the?
Speaker 1front yard To let people others know that the party is here, this house is having a bachelor.
Speaker 5Oh, so, instead of balloons.
Speaker 1They have blow-ups Exactly, Instead of balloons on the mailbox.
Speaker 6Yes, nice, that's exactly right.
Speaker 1They can still hang balloons on this body part, but it'll be totally different.
Speaker 5We'll see how well that goes over with the neighbors. They could just wrap a balloon around it.

Oh my gosh, but no, the fire department gentleman said the right thing. He says no, he says you're not going to bribe me with a pastrami sandwich or with anything, he said. Whatever the problem was, he said you need to fix this and take care of it and don't ever do this again. He thought the old pastrami sandwich would get him to change his mind did they offer him some five guys french fries that would.

They learn not all, but most learn how to open a door.
Speaker 5Yeah.
Speaker 1A bear, captured on video in a Monrovia California home, is seen breaking into a home. Simply well, the door didn't break into it. The door was left open. Will opened the door, walked inside. The only thing it took. It was seen walking out, with the video, with a pack of Oreos.
Speaker 2Oh, the whole pack. That's kind of cute.
Speaker 5It is.
Speaker 1Luckily nobody was home because it could have been dangerous. But the bear has a sweet tooth. And the bear now nicknamed Oreo thanks to the video. They say that there's been reports of it breaking into another home. Well, they say breaking into, but it doesn't damage anything. The Breaking into another home Well, they say breaking into, but it doesn't damage anything. The door is usually left open.
Speaker 6Who just leaves and leaves the door open? You sure you could years ago, but not now. No, you can't. Like you think they're twisting their little bear hands? Yeah, they use their little bear hands to twist the knob.
Speaker 1They're smart, wow, and so I was asking you off the air. So bears are very smart. Aren't we lucky that some of these other animals and critters aren't as smart? Like, say, what if rats or cockroaches were as smart as these bears these bears are? Wouldn't that be scary?
Speaker 6I've got one worse. Yeah, what about a maggot? Oh, a bear-sized maggot.
Speaker 1You've been watching too many sci-fi shows. Oh ew, coc flies, maggot. You've been watching too many sci-fi shows. Ah ew, cocaine maggot. That's a new movie. A new movie's coming out, but no, but imagine a mouse, a rat, that's as smart as a bear, that can figure out how to open a door. They can get into pretty much any home if they want to. I've learned this.
Speaker 6You know what else would be inconvenient? Yeah, gnats, fruit flies inconvenient. Yeah, gnats fruit flies, fruit flies yeah, they get into everything, they're everywhere. Fleas, yes cicadas ticks.
Speaker 1Oh, what if cicadas were smart? All they do is I don't know about out of the ground and make noise and mate breed and eat, and then they go away. But what if they were smart enough to do stuff like this?
Speaker 6well they wouldn't be slinging into my windshield every time I drive to Huntsville.
Speaker 1No, I think you'd hit a rock when you hit one of those.
Speaker 6I know it is it's like well, that's the cicada.
Speaker 1Blonk One less cicada, yep.
Speaker 6I wonder how long he's been at his whatever, I feel bad because it's a horrible death he's only here for 24, 36 hours.
Speaker 1The stupid thing flew into a windshield.

Speaker 1And I had some good comments from the people yesterday saying that many people heard this and they appreciated it Because they're on their way to a funeral home and they said that meant a lot to them. So we try to find something that's maybe inspiring, something that stop, lets you stop and think. Sometimes we try to find a funny one, to give you a smile, but today it's something that from zig ziglar and zig ziglar's I had some great quotes in his career. So, and this is another good one today, right, yeah, he says be helpful.
Speaker 1When you see a person without a smile, give them yours it doesn't hurt you one bit to smile, no matter what you're going through, because you never know when the person in front of you may be going through something even worse than what you are and it's free and it's contagious and somebody may need it, like the person behind you may need a smile you are correct.
