Good 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 6:

They want to pace themselves. You can't peak too soon, no. Can't peak too soon no.

Speaker 1:

No, 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.

I know it was beautiful. I posted it on Powers page because I do all the social media.

Speaker 1:

Yes, you do.

Speaker 6:

And I had such a pretty view over the Jeep as I was walking out this morning.

Speaker 1:

As 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 1:

You'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 6:

Yeah, 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 1:

I 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.

That's a lot of dog food, a lot of dog food yeah. Also our Father Mo's Best contest. A lot of entries, people sending in their entries, great photos. Now keep in mind the only rule we have is there must be a lawnmower in the picture.

Speaker 5:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

We've had a couple send in pictures saying, well, ours is broken. More in the picture. Yeah, we've had a couple of sending pictures saying, well, ours broken, it doesn't work. That's why you need to google, google or maybe walk next door to the neighbors and say, hey, do you mind if we get a picture of my husband with your?

Speaker 6:

oh my gosh, I would never, would you do that? No, no but photoshop it. Yeah, we've had people photoshop.

Speaker 1:

We're not being ugly with this. We just have one rule we need a lawnmower in the picture with Dad.

Speaker 6:

Got to be in the picture with Dad.

Speaker 1:

That's the only rule Yep Got to be in the picture.

Speaker 6:

And 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 1:

It'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 6:

Yeah, come on and see us, Jamie.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you don't even have to bring food, jamie, nope, you can just come out and be you.

Speaker 6:

But you can if you want to.

Speaker 1:

Sure, you're more than welcome to bring food every day of the week if you'd like to. We'd love that.

Speaker 6:

How do you?

Speaker 1:

know Things you need to know this morning. Here we are. What? The fourth day of June? What's going on?

Speaker 6:

today. Today is National Cheese Day. What a good day.

Speaker 1:

What's your favorite kind of cheese?

Speaker 6:

All of it, I even love blue cheese.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I'll tell you this may sound stupid, I know it's probably not even a real cheese, but Velveeta.

Speaker 6:

Is it cheese?

Speaker 1:

Not really.

Speaker 6:

What is it?

Speaker 1:

Look at this, look it up. It's like a we did this before. It's like a cheese, processed cheese or something.

Speaker 6:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

Because 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 6:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

It'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 6:

And 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 1:

what is that? Like a ital, you find it more in Italian dishes. Yeah, I'm surprised Parmesan is not in the top three.

Speaker 6:

No, I'm not surprised, but I am surprised ricotta's on there.

Speaker 1:

What do you usually use it for?

Speaker 6:

It's like the stuffing in shells and lasagna and noodles.

Speaker 1:

That's why I don't stuff shells very often, oh, you should.

Speaker 6:

No, 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 6:

Here'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 1:

Starts 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 6:

I would love to go to this.

Speaker 5:

We should in one year. So if they send them to us, we should all load up like station-wide.

Speaker 6:

Everybody load up Exactly, get in the van.

Speaker 1:

But the tickets are hard to get.

Speaker 2:

Are they, they sell out, oh.

Speaker 1:

So 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 6:

To send us a picture.

Speaker 1:

If they run into somebody in Nashville.

Speaker 6:

Oh my gosh, just email it to me or send us a.

Speaker 1:

Facebook message. We'll post these and we'll put up a whole big post on this. We'd love to see your photos.

Speaker 6:

All you have to do is just send it to our Facebook page and we'll put it up there.

Speaker 1:

Well, maybe they'll have. Looks like they're going to have good weather too.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, good.

Speaker 5:

Looking at.

Speaker 1:

Nashville's forecast. It looks like about like ours, so it's going to be pretty good weather. That's good.

Speaker 6:

Well, I read this morning that NASA is launching a satellite to say sorry to all the aliens in outer space.

Speaker 1:

Well, that's nice, very nice.

Speaker 6:

The satellite will be called Apollo G.

Speaker 1:

Apollo G. Apollo G.

Speaker 6:

I got some bad news for you before we go. No, velveeta is a cheese product.

Speaker 1:

Sorry, I didn't think it was real cheese.

Speaker 6:

Scott Chambers says he's been doing some research over here.

Speaker 1:

If anybody knows the cheese, it's Scott. Yeah, because I think at one point he was a cheese cutter.

Speaker 6:

He was a cheese cutter.

Speaker 1:

I heard that If anybody can cut the cheese.

Speaker 6:

It's Scott Chambers. It's Scott Chambers. Yeah, Nobody can cut that cheese like Scott.

Speaker 1:

Oh 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 4:

Wow, Absolutely 6'16" Barry and Holly on Alabama's Country, Giant WQSB Jelly roll halfway Jolly Roll, halfway to Hell.

Speaker 1:

Like 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 6:

I think it's two good choices.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, 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 6:

You 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 2:

Yes she's spicy.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, 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 6:

We 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 1:

Yep. 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 6:

Wow, what sense does that?

Speaker 1:

make 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 1:

they're going to say hold on, sir, you must take your water bottle back to your car.

Speaker 6:

You know what they've done? They've taken away things that can be thrown, like a tennis ball or a water bottle.

Speaker 1:

I would much rather have you hold a tennis ball in there than have a gun pointed at me.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, Now I'll tell you this. On TikTok, there's been a trend where people have been throwing water bottles at performers.

Speaker 1:

This has got to stop too.

Speaker 6:

Yes, absolutely.

Speaker 1:

Have you seen this? Bebe Rexha was injured a couple of days ago.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, 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 1:

They 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 1:

If you hit them in the eye, you could injure them forever.

Speaker 6:

I 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 1:

could have happened.

Speaker 6:

What could make me a story? I don't know. We could chat GPT this on our next break. We need to.

Speaker 1:

We 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 6:

It would suck At the most, but it's not going to take you out.

Speaker 1:

No, if you get knocked out with a tennis ball.

Speaker 6:

you'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 1:

It's apparently allowed, according to this.

Speaker 6:

So you're going to let people go into a political debate that are already fired up?

Speaker 1:

There'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 6:

No, that's not a good idea. No, make it make sense. None of this makes sense, yeah, so Okay.

Speaker 1:

Well, 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 6:

Oh, is that a 10 out of 10 pain?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, 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 6:

I mean, what's the odds of them smacking you in the middle, though?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, 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 6:

Somebody would stand up and say, sir, have you tried out for the big leagues, while the other guys doubled over in pain?

Speaker 1:

you'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 6:

She 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 1:

Speaker 1:

She'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 6:

I cannot believe that Jelly Roll didn't jump up to number one.

Speaker 1:

He 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 6:

Which Kenny Chesney song? Let's see, take Her Home, yeah.

Speaker 1:

So Post Malone moves up to number six.

Speaker 6:

Oh six. You know that's going to hit number one.

Speaker 1:

Absolutely.

Speaker 6:

It's playing everywhere. I heard it yesterday at like a subway.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, Somewhere wherever I went for lunch, it is so good. It's just a good feel-good song.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, it is, I love it.

Speaker 1:

I 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 6:

Yeah, do it yourself. Then no, not DUI, not DUI DIY.

Speaker 1:

Americans 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 6:

I said DUI.

Speaker 3:

Do it yourself.

Speaker 6:

Sorry, we got hung up on that DIY.

Speaker 1:

I'm a DA so I don't know. So about 35% of them, Fill in the blanks yourself on that one.

Speaker 1:

That'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 6:

Oh 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 1:

It, making it with Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman. I love that show.

Speaker 6:

I 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 1:

I couldn't do it, so did this happen back during COVID, or when did this happen?

Speaker 6:

It was right before COVID because they canceled the series during COVID. But it doesn't need. That is cool.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, 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 6:

I 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 1:

Because they've had what? Two or three seasons. Yeah, I love that show.

Speaker 6:

I love that show too, and I love Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman. I just wanted to go to meet them.

Speaker 1:

Now 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 6:

for 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 1:

What kind of crafting things do you do?

Speaker 6:

I do T-shirts, I do tumblers. Have you ever seen those epoxy tumblers? Yes, I have. They're glittery real pretty.

Speaker 1:

You brought some of those to work that you've done and they're beautiful.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, they're really nice, they are.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, 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 6:

Yeah, 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 1:

No way.

Speaker 6:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

So you like your autograph, basically yeah.

Speaker 6:

Isn't that neat.

Speaker 1:

Because there's such a big follower of you.

Speaker 6:

Well, 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 1:

That's tough.

Speaker 6:

And 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 1:

But 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 6:

Yeah, I mean, we definitely could.

Speaker 1:

What do you think?

Speaker 6:

I've auctioned off a few cups. I raised $1,200 for the National Association of Mental Institutions.

Speaker 1:

That is great.

Speaker 6:

I did that a couple years ago and I love these tumblers. I love making them, and especially for good calls.

Speaker 1:

Let'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 6:

Yeah, 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 6:

We 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 1:

I'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. Thank you to have you here and I think listeners would like to see you In action, where you actually got your start in the entertainment business.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1:

And then we could even make a QSB one, and if people like it, you could even make more down the road.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, hey.

Speaker 1:

See how it turns out. Hey, hey, all right, so we'll put that up and we'll let people check it out. Okay, and they can vote on it, all right? 647.

Speaker 1:

Who's replaced?

Speaker 6:

Hold on, let me read the rest of it. Ryan Seacrest is set to take over for Pat Sajak in September. I think that's a great replacement.

Speaker 1:

He's so good. He's so good. I love Seacrest yeah.

Speaker 6:

I do too, and Nike is launching Girl Dad sneakers on Friday to tribute to Kobe Bryant and his daughter, gianna. The green sneakers have black shoelaces, the Nike swoosh in black, girl dad on the tongue and Kobe's signature on the side.

Speaker 1:

I'm looking at the shoes on our Facebook page and they are pretty cool. I like these it doesn't say how much they're going to be, but I'm sure they're going to be extremely expensive. Probably $200. Probably, at least.

Speaker 6:

And Hugh Jackman has been cast as the lead in the Death of Robin Hood. The Death of Robin Hood? The Death of Robin Hood Uh-oh, I know. The movie finds a legendary outlaw gravely injured after a battle that he didn't think he'd be able to win. Now, age past his prime, he looks back on his life of violence and crime, wondering if he did the right things.

Speaker 1:

Hugh Jackman, I can see him pulling that off. Yeah that'll be a good one. That'll be good. I love Robin Hood movies too. All right, 6.55,. Birthdays are next.

Speaker 4:

Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's country giant WQSB.

Speaker 1:

QSB. This is my dirt. It's Justin Moore at 7.10. A cloudy morning with Barry and Holly. Good morning to your rain. Uh, there's some showers in morgan county and coleman county. There's some showers, nothing heavy, but there's an 80 chance of a shower, maybe a thunderstorm. Scattered around today in a high of 83. 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 1:

I 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 1:

But 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 6:

Yeah, 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 1:

So your thought is you're going to make one with, somehow, qsp on it, and we just want to say to listeners would you be interested in watching Holly show you how to make one?

Speaker 6:

Yeah, definitely show people how to make one. Make a little side cash this summer. So, if you want to see what we're talking about here.

Speaker 1:

Look on our Facebook page and she can show you one of those that she's made.

Speaker 6:

And then you can make some money.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so this is actually a video that you did.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

That you made.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, 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 1:

So 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 6:

No, I didn't know, it's not a rapper.

Speaker 1:

So what is Scrub Daddy? It's a sponge.

Speaker 6:

It's a sponge, yeah.

Speaker 1:

It'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 6:

Oh, 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 1:

And one has like a bite taken out of the donut.

Speaker 6:

Uh-huh, Yep, I love that. This is good. Oh my gosh, that's so cute.

Speaker 1:

We'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 6:

That's cute.

Speaker 1:

That 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 6:

those 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 1:

This 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 6:

if I'm having a bad day, somebody gives me a little smile and makes me feel better.

Speaker 1:

Sometimes 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 4:

Barry and Holly on Alabama's Country Giant WQSB.

Speaker 1:

Come on, Make your banana pancakes, banana pancakes, I love, I love. You're going to talk ice cream coming up in a second. 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 6:

Those would be so good in the refrigerator.

Speaker 1:

Oh, 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 6:

I 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 1:

So 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 6:

Oh, peanut brittle, Peanut brittle, ooh.

Speaker 1:

That may break a tooth, but I love peanut brittle Ooh.

Speaker 6:

but that would be so good, so this goes on your dipped cone.

Speaker 1:

So when you get the soft serve now, they've got all kinds of different dippings and stuff they can put on top of it.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, they've got confetti, they've got peanut brittle and they have cherry dip.

Speaker 1:

Well, I'll tell you something I cannot wait for Cold Stone Creamery to open in Albertville.

Speaker 6:

Go ahead and open up. We'll be waiting at the doors. This summer, Cold Stone Creamery is introducing its newest flavor, Flavorit.

Speaker 1:

The Flavorit oh is Flavor.

Speaker 5:

Flav part of this.

Speaker 1:

When did Flavor Flav come into the picture? It's Fl and flavor. Flavor-flav's flavored ice cream. What is his flavor?

Speaker 6:

Flavor-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. It has a cake batter ice cream with sprinkles, chunks of brownie and fudge. Ooh. And then for the cookie dough fans, this is the one I want.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, and then for the cookie dough fans, this is the one I want. Yeah, the creation is an experience with the classic cookie dough ice cream, topped with chocolate chips and chunks of cookie dough, finished with a delightful crunch of sugar crystals.

Speaker 1:

Look at these pictures on our Facebook. These look delicious.

Speaker 6:

Those sound so good.

Speaker 1:

Perfect for the summertime.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, and if you're in Albertville or close, we do have a Cold Stone coming.

Speaker 1:

Coming soon, coming soon, can't wait, all right. 727.

Speaker 4:

WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly.

Speaker 1:

Daddy 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 1:

The 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 6:

That'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 1:

Basically they don't look.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, see, I don't agree with that.

Speaker 1:

To me it's like you're going to a cattle sale.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, and you see them bring the cows in and you bid on them.

Speaker 1:

It'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 6:

Oh 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 1:

I mean, come on man, that's not a good idea.

Speaker 6:

I 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 1:

But 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 6:

But there's nobody home, nobody's in. Nobody's checked in, no lights on Vacancy Die Exactly.

Speaker 1:

Anyway, they're getting a lot of complaints and I think they should.

Speaker 6:

I don't believe you. Where's this at? In Vietnam, vietnam? Okay, let's don't do it here.

Speaker 1:

I don't see it happening. No, it's 741.

Speaker 4:

Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's country giant WQSB.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 6:

I'm holding my pearls.

Speaker 1:

I'm not sure what that means.

Speaker 6:

exactly Six percent of Americans can say they've never owned a pet.

Speaker 1:

That is hard to believe.

Speaker 6:

I don't trust those people. You got to have a pet. You got to have something to take care of, at least once in your lifetime. Yeah, whether it's a cat or a dog, that's a huge red flag.

Speaker 1:

Or a turtle, because you have a turtle now, or your mother does.

Speaker 6:

My mother has Myrtle the turtle. It's a sand dollar turtle we found in the Well. I say sand dollar because that's the size of it, but we found it in the swimming pool. Rachel's in here. Come on in, Rachel. Yeah, Rachel's in here. So I'm telling Rachel Please give it up for.

Speaker 1:

Rachel? What about you, Rachel?

Speaker 3:

How many pets, would you think you've had?

Speaker 1:

Lots of pets. How many have you had in your lifetime, would you guess, Rachel?

Speaker 5:

She's closed her eyes, and her eyes are rolled back in her head. Her life is flashed before her eyes and her eyes are rolled back in her head and she's. Her life is flashed before her eyes and she's counting. I didn't know. I mean like you're counting sheep over there.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, I would say that many about six, maybe more. Yeah, six or maybe a couple more that I'm forgetting about. In god I'm like 30.

Speaker 1:

We probably I'm with you 20 to 30, because back in the day we went through dogs a lot because we lived on country roads.

Speaker 6:

Oh no, yeah, they got squished, oh no.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so we went through a lot. It was.

Speaker 6:

You should see somebody about that. That's trauma.

Speaker 1:

They just told me move away from the country. Oh, no, don't get rid of your pets.

Speaker 6:

Oh my gosh, yeah, okay. So what do you have now?

Speaker 1:

I have none at the moment. My last cat, fuzz, it, ran away from home which broke my heart because it was my son's cat. But really I guess I kind of co-own the neighbor's pets because they have cats and they like to wander over and we both feed them. So there's a panther and there's mama kitty.

Speaker 6:

You have adopted kitties.

Speaker 5:

Speaker 1:

Mama kitty and Kinsley Kinsley. I think I'm saying it right, I don't know it's mean it doesn Turn ony in a second he gives you about a 15-second belly rub. He gives you 15 seconds to enjoy his belly. Then he's going to chew your elbow to the bone.

Speaker 5:

Hey, I have a little sad note. Oh no, Don't tell us. One of my animals, when I came home yesterday, was out of the yard and she still hasn't come back. No, yeah, she's a little black Chihuahua-Yorkie mix. Oh, no. Black chihuahua yorkie mix no she's a mutt, but that's kind of what she looks like in the face. Oh, that's a bummer. I know, oh, shoot. I know she weighs about 12 pounds, um black and has a few little white spots on her, but yeah, did she break out or you think she was taken?

Speaker 5:

no, I think she broke out what roughly what air.

Speaker 1:

Not telling where you live, but roughly what area if somebody sees it Boaz.

Speaker 5:

Boaz area Off Martin Road.

Speaker 6:

So if anybody sees a distract, chihuahua terrier mix in Boaz.

Speaker 1:

Just give us a call. What name does it go by?

Speaker 5:

Neva N-E-V-A. I like that my daughter named her after one of her teachers in elementary school. Oh, how sweet.

Speaker 6:

That's the highest compliment so who do you have now?

Speaker 5:

I have Drake, he's a chocolate lab. I have Ellie she is a shih tzu and she's about two and a half months old, tiny baby. And we have a cat, okay.

Speaker 6:

Speaker 2:

She made that up. No, no, he's named after Nikki Sixx.

Speaker 5:

Oh don't, why you paused.

Speaker 1:

I was going to say something vulgar.

Speaker 5:

I didn't too. I didn't too. Y'all were all cringing. Like oh God, what's she going to say? I was waiting on the F-bomb Blank head.

Speaker 6:

Speaker 5:

And then the sad times he comes up and he'll curl up in my lap and just let me cry and it's like he knows. Yeah, it's like he knows. Yeah, they know when you're sick, not feeling good. Yeah, I love it I love my dog okay, so what else you got?

Speaker 6:

americans with cell phones drop it in the toilet about seven million times per year. Right, I've never done that. I've never dropped mine in the toilet about 7 million times per year.

Speaker 1:

Right, I've never done that.

Speaker 5:

I've never dropped mine in the toilet. I've dropped mine in the toilet you have yeah, oh no.

Speaker 6:

Take it like I've got it in my back pocket. Yeah, and I'm sliding down Right. And in, it goes.

Speaker 5:

Now I've been close before. Yeah, it falling in the toilet, yeah.

Speaker 1:

I.

Speaker 5:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

I've been lucky. Did it splash before or after the deed?

Speaker 5:

Before.

Speaker 1:

Good. Had it been after, would you still have retrieved it?

Speaker 6:

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Would I have reached in? And I think, yes, I would have.

Speaker 5:

If you had blown it up.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's just pee. If you had blown it up.

Speaker 6:

Oh, with number twos.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, or threes Would you get it with number twos or number threes, somebody would have to get it out. It's not going to flush.

Speaker 1:

No, it's true, but would you use it after you got it out?

Speaker 6:

Probably not. I think this is Remember that debate we had about the ant and the coffee, and would you drink it or pour it out? Yeah, I think we're there.

Speaker 1:

I agree.

Speaker 6:

If you drop your phone in a number three, are you going to take it and use it, or are you going to throw it away? Who knows?

Speaker 1:

A three, that's a yeah.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, it's a one, two and a three Wow.

Speaker 1:

It's like violent projectile Okay so what else?

Speaker 6:

30% of car owners say they have no idea where to refill the windshield wiper fluid in their car. What, Okay, right yeah. Now Barry said that Reagan, his daughter, wouldn't know. Probably not.

Speaker 1:

Not to call Reagan out. No, but she never had to. Yeah, but she needs to learn. You're right. I think everybody needs to learn things.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, yeah, you got to learn. I mean, she don't need to know how to change the oil.

Speaker 5:

No, but she needs to know how to do that. It's so easy. No.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, it's so cheap too when you go buy it by yourself.

Speaker 1:

So three out of ten. I have no clue how to do it. I believe that. I believe that, yeah, it might be higher than that.

Speaker 6:

Well, with the way that the trucks and cars are made these days, I almost can see how people can feel that way, because it's like a computer puzzle.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, exactly yeah.

Speaker 1:

I know Good stuff, it's 7.56.

And it's courtesy of Bonds Appliance Loan and Garden in Guntersville. You can do this by going to our website, wqsbcom. Morning's crazy but true story Going to Spain. There's a resort town in Spain.

Speaker 1:

They'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 6:

Okay, I just had to make sure that's what you're saying.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I said, I guess, to make sure he wouldn't walk and hurt himself, so they just duct taped him to the lamppost.

Speaker 5:

Okay, 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 1:

they 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.

Absolutely. Speaking of Jordan Davis, here he is on WQSB Morning's crime story, bribing somebody you know. Usually you think of money. Maybe you think of like a vehicle, I don't know Jewelry, things like that. How about a pastrami sandwich? Oh no, would that be good enough to maybe get you to change the way you're thinking? Pastrami sandwich.

Speaker 6:

Not change the way I'm thinking.

Speaker 1:

I don't think the city of New York is investigating Harold Heshy Tischler Old Heshy, that's his nickname. He was caught on video appearing to bribe a fire inspector fire department inspector. He attempted to bribe him with a pastrami sandwich. The inspector came to investigate a complaint about misuse of a propane tank and on the video you can hear the guy saying you can be heard in the video saying hey, why don't we just forget this whole thing and I'll give you a pastrami sandwich.

Speaker 1:

Whoa, whoa, he thought that would get the fire department inspector to say you got a deal, give me that pastrami sandwich, we'll forget this whole thing ever happened and I'll just go on my way. 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.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that's there you go. Yeah, maybe a chick-fil-a milkshake no, peach milkshake yeah he just didn't get the wrong things. What with the wrong food?

Speaker 6:

pastrami set. Nobody wants a pastrami sandwich, not when you don't know where it's been yeah, I know what if he was like hey, I got a chicken and get the right things, what with the wrong food?

Speaker 1:

Pastrami sandwich Nobody wants a pastrami sandwich. Not when you don't know where it's meant. Yeah, I know what. If he was like, hey, I got a chicken casserole, I'd be like what's up? Chicken casserole, yeah, okay, so now I know how to bribe you. Yep, All right, morning's animal story Another bear breaking into something. Bears are so smart, they're so smart. They have somehow. They learn not all, but most learn how to open a door.

Speaker 5:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

A 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 2:

Oh, the whole pack. That's kind of cute.

Speaker 5:

It is.

Speaker 1:

Luckily 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 6:

Who 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 1:

They'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 6:

I've got one worse. Yeah, what about a maggot? Oh, a bear-sized maggot.

Speaker 1:

You'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 6:

You 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 1:

Oh, 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 6:

well they wouldn't be slinging into my windshield every time I drive to Huntsville.

Speaker 1:

No, I think you'd hit a rock when you hit one of those.

Speaker 6:

I know it is it's like well, that's the cicada.

Speaker 1:

Blonk One less cicada, yep.

Speaker 6:

I 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 1:

And 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 1:

When 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.
