Have you ever wondered what elements make a movie a timeless classic? Join Barry and Holli for a spirited morning as we jump-start our day with a celebration of iconic films. Holli recounts her spine-chilling experience watching "The Crow" and its haunting connections to Brandon Lee's tragic story, while we also reflect on Heath Ledger drawing inspiration from Lee for his unforgettable Joker performance. In between our cinematic explorations, we spotlight the heartwarming success of our Wolfstock dog food drive, with a whopping 5,600 pounds collected, encouraging our community to keep up the generous contributions throughout June.
From the laughs of "Caddyshack" to the tears of "The Notebook," we reminisce about the movies that left indelible marks on our hearts. Personal favorites like "Titanic" and "Gone with the Wind" create a vivid tapestry of memories, while listener picks like "Pretty Woman" and "Grease" add layers to our discussion of what truly defines a classic. We can’t help but share our excitement for the remake of "The Crow" and swap some funny stories, including Scott Chambers' gym routine that’s straight out of "Rocky." Plus, we toast to Dr Pepper’s impressive rise in popularity, now second only to Coca-Cola, and eagerly anticipate Taylor Swift’s leading nominations at the Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards.
But it's not all about movies and pop culture; we bring you quirky and fascinating stories from the news, including a bizarre crime spree in Florida and a study on bird poop preferences that’s sure to make you chuckle. We round off with a heartfelt tribute to our seniors and the unsung heroes—geriatric nurses—who care for them with unwavering dedication. Tune in for a fun-filled episode packed with nostalgia, laughter, and thought-provoking moments that promise to brighten your day.

Speaker 1Don't take fame. Good morning, it's 6.09. The man's a real deal.
Speaker 5You heard him say it, I heard him say it, you got it quoted right there.
Speaker 1Yeah, hold on one second, here comes a good point. Okay, here we go, just save your life.
Speaker 4That's the power of love.
Speaker 1This makes me think of Back to the Future.
Speaker 5I'm dancing.
Speaker 1Love. You finally saw Back to the Future a few months ago.
Speaker 5I know I got to see it. I think that I have wasted my whole life not watching Back to the Future.
Speaker 1You need to see Part 2 and 3 now. It's just a great series.
Speaker 5You know what I watched yesterday that you recommended. What's that? The Crow?
Speaker 1Oh, the original. Yeah, the original With Brandon Lee.
Speaker 5Well, yeah, you told me that Bill Skarsgård is coming out with a new one and I'm so excited because the trailer looked great. But you said but you got to watch the old one.
Speaker 1You need to watch the original.
Speaker 5Yeah, so I watched it yesterday.
Speaker 1There's so much creepy history around that movie where Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee's son, was killed while filming the movie.
Speaker 5Yeah, so what happened? Real quick.
Speaker 1There was a scene like the very beginning of it, when the bad guys are in the apartment and they put a gun up to Brandon Lee's head. It was just a fake prop gun and in those days it's about 20 years ago they used what's called blanks and they're like a wad of paper and stuff that makes smoke come out a little bit bit and they put one in there and, for whatever reason, it was harder than it was supposed to be.
Speaker 1When it came out it hit him in the exact right spot in the head and killed him that's wasn't a real bullet just a blank, but it was strong enough and big enough that it hit him in the right spot and killed him, that's crazy and it is and it made the movie so much more intriguing, though, to know that he was not alive during the release.
Speaker 1They almost didn't release it. They decided the family wanted what was mine and said, yes, he worked so hard on this, we've got to release it. All right, I'm going to put up a post on Facebook One more thing you read something you told me about a few minutes ago that Heath Ledger in the Batman movie when he played Joker, heath Ledger in the Batman movie.
Speaker 5Yes.
Speaker 1When he played Joker, because I was telling you that the makeup in the Crow looks so much like the Joker's makeup in Batman and you found something that said that he pretty much copied Brandon Lee.
Speaker 5Yeah, so I texted you because I'd read an article where and this was years ago when Heath Ledger was battling his addictions and stuff- yeah and I read an article where heath ledger studied brandon lee's um character in the crow yeah, to be like him and the makeup's kind of the same. The mannerisms are the same, the same creepy little. Yeah, smiles and tears. But um, I put up a post what's your favorite classic movie would? Would you consider that a classic movie? It?
Speaker 1is. It's a classic. Especially around Halloween, people watch the original Crone.
Speaker 5It's a cult classic, it is yeah.
Speaker 1It's just a well I would say cheaply made. But it's just a fix in that movie compared to today.
Speaker 5It was kind of cheaply made.
Speaker 1It was, but back in those days it was good and I would say it's like a cult classic.
Speaker 5Yeah, and you're saying you can't wait to see what the new one? The new one, yeah.
Speaker 1Because Bill Skarsgård, who plays Pennywise the Clown in it, is the Eric Draven in the new one.
Speaker 5Yeah, when you told me that I looked up the trailer on YouTube.
Speaker 1Oh, it's violent.
Speaker 5Oh, it is Viewer. Discretion advised.
Speaker 1Don't let the kids watch the trailer.
Speaker 5No, they pop a guy on the head and show it.
Speaker 1Oh man, it comes out in August, by the way. Yeah, so it's the new the Crow.
Speaker 5But blow the whole head off.

Speaker 5I love this one. It says Caring for seniors is perhaps the greatest responsibility we have. Those who walk before us have given so much and made possible the life we all enjoy.
Speaker 1That is so good.
Speaker 5Yeah. So my mom was a nursing home nurse for 40 years and I have watched her come home and say I had to hold somebody's hand while they died tonight with no family.
Speaker 1Wow.
Speaker 5And it takes a special person to be a geriatric nurse it?
Speaker 1does it really? Does they have a special heart? Uh, they have a. It's hard to explain, but yeah, I've had to visit nursing homes. My other was in there for a while and it's tough and to know that you work there it's. They're very. Those who work there love what you do. People don't give them enough. Thank yous.
Speaker 5Well, my mom teaches a CNA class and I took her class and she said these seniors that we have in this nursing home at one time did their laundry, canned their food, went to work, took care of their children, and now here they are, completely helpless. They've got to have help and we're the ones to do it.
Speaker 1So just like the quote of the day. Yeah, it's a perfect quote. Just for that Perfect Good stuff, it's 715.

Bird Poop and Classic Movies
Speaker 5I saw that you had me muted for a second.
Speaker 1Well, I had to fix it. Well, I'm dealing with one hand here and I want to clarify what Marbury said Keep going to rehab.
Speaker 5We need to have a discussion. Stan Winthrop came in, yeah, and he was listening out.
Speaker 2We're going to have him on in a minute.
Speaker 5He's playing Beast in Beauty and the Beast it's going to be so good, but we had him on or had him in and he said, barry, rehab what? And so we feel the need to clarify it's physical therapy Mark.
Speaker 1Rookie Therapy. Yes, yeah but that's a Rookie for you. I love Mark Rookie, but if you missed a conversation, yeah, yeah, he just ended the conversation with hey there. Keep going to rehab. I am going to rehab, I'm going to therapy. It's physical therapy for my left arm that I had reconstruction surgery basically and then the other new nothing. Six million dollar man, seventy five dollar man. Basically that's what I paid for this little sling thing I'm wearing. But I know, but anyway, yes, it's that rehab, I'm going to that kind of rehab yeah.
Speaker 1But anyway, back to the rain. There is some rain scattered around today. Not going to rain a lot, but later tonight there is a better chance of rain. Just keep in mind you could see some fairly strong storms later on tonight. Come on, man Well come on, man.
Speaker 4Here's the topic.
Speaker 1Rain could Well come on, man. Here's the topic rain could help out your car if you've got bird poop on it. There's a study. There's been a study and a survey done and they've released the total saying that I've always wondered this what car color do more birds poop on than any other color? Would you have guessed red? No, I would have guessed white because I've had a white vehicle. I would have guessed white because I've had a white vehicle. It's like every time you get her washed, I think they go eat those berries that are purple.
Speaker 5Oh my gosh, I know exactly what you're talking about. I honestly believe that birds the purple berry poop? Yes, yes, it's the purple berry poop.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 5Yes, I know what you're talking about. I think birds play a game.
Speaker 1I think they, honestly, they get points. I think they honestly, they get points.
Speaker 5I think they have like a game, a tally, and just keep up with it.
Speaker 1It's like March Madness or something for birds, but it's for all year. Yeah, Because some of the weirdest things are that I had like a car, of all the places in the world for them to poop. Why on top of a car.
Speaker 5I don't know. And why is it always on the windshield when you're driving down the interstate?
Speaker 1Yes, why does that happen? It's usually at the spot of the windshield where the wipers don't quite reach it.
Speaker 5Yes, or it does it right in front of your line of field of vision.
Speaker 1Exactly.
Speaker 5And you've got to smear it with the windshield wiper fluid. Come on birds.
Speaker 1Come on man, come on birds. But they did a study. Seriously, red is the most popular car color that has bird poop on it 18%. They broke it down it's red and then blue, and then black, then white, gray or silver and then green.
Speaker 5I'm sorry, but no, gray is way on up there.
Speaker 1Because yours is that kind of color.
Speaker 5Yours is gray.
Speaker 1It is Mine's gray. I've got some on the side window. How it hit that, I don't know. I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, that's talent.
Speaker 5And it slid down. I have found that every time I wash my car I either get bird poop or it rains. So I think if I just stop washing my car I'll save everybody the hassle of bird poop and rain.
Speaker 1I think birds know when you've washed your car. They can, they do. This is shiny.
Speaker 5Let me let this go.
Speaker 1Do you think I'm wrong? Do birds have a contest?
Speaker 5No, I think you're right. I think they keep a tally of it.
Speaker 1I think they get extra points if you have a sunroof or a convertible or a Jeep with the tops out. They also get extra points if you have a bald-headed man with the tops off Extra points because it's splat man.
Speaker 5I got pelted one time. Yeah yeah, I was wearing like one of those puffer jackets and it made like a noise, like a Really it went like. That's how it went on my puffer jacket.
Speaker 1You're really into sound effects today.
Speaker 5Well, I just you know.
Speaker 1Disney called called hey Holly. We need sound for bird pooping in the new Moana movie. It's perfect. I'm worried for Stan Witherell. Stan's coming in a minute. If he's got a convertible, I think birds see him. They're saying get him, he's playing beast.
Speaker 5Oh yeah, I think you're right. I think they have target practice.
Speaker 1I do. It's a game. It is, and we're the victims of it, might as well, because women, we in return, we eat a lot of them Eat birds.
Speaker 5This is true. I will say 3% for gray is low, though I agree, I think that's a little low.
Speaker 1It should be young. But red is the number one color that birds look for Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's country giant WQSB. Rachel has returned to the room. Good morning, Rachel, Hello.

Speaker 1Thank you. Morning's crime story. I gave you a heads up saying this is one of the goofiest crime stories we've had in a few days.
Speaker 5Okay.
Speaker 1Guess what state it happens in.
Speaker 5Let me guess.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 5Is it Florida you?
Speaker 1are correct, they called him extremely amped up, a-m-p-e-d. A man showed up, extremely amped up, at the jail. He didn't just show up, he drove into the jail, drove through the front door, his car went through the front door and was stopped in the lobby. Okay, and here's the even stranger, this is a Martin County, florida. The man has nothing on from the waist down, he's wearing a lady's top. What the guy pulls? He's driving his car, drives into the lobby and of course it stops. Luckily Nobody was injured. And then he jumps out with no pants on, no underwear on, but he's wearing a lady's top. I don't have a picture. So what do you think? What kind of top do you picture this guy wearing?
Speaker 5Yeah.
Speaker 1What do you think?
Speaker 5So I'm picturing a nice little crop top with the halter top, shoulders that go across the front and little thin straps. Gotcha With the halter top coming above his belly.
Speaker 1So what color do you go for to match your, from the waist down, being naked?
Speaker 5I feel like he's a pink kind of guy. Pink yeah Okay, but he can do pink, okay, pink crop top he probably says like Barbie on the front.
Speaker 1Yeah, he gets even stranger. Okay, his name is Joseph, he's 40. Okay, he. Then they say, he grabs some oil and then begins pouring it on the car and then on himself and threatens to light himself on fire. Motor oil Whoa, he threatens to light himself on fire. Motor oil Whoa, he threatens to light himself on fire. Luckily the police grab him, stop him before he does it. Oh, I forgot to mention he also jumped out and threw two rubber snakes into the lobby and multiple cell phones, threw those also into the lobby.
Speaker 5What yeah Wow?
Speaker 3Don't know.
Speaker 5This guy's got some mental issues going on. Alcohol was involved. Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1A lot of it. Okay, but he threw two rubber snakes. He's driving around with no pants on holding two rubber snakes in his hand.
Speaker 5I just picture him driving on the road like take this.
Speaker 1Holding a rubber snake and he has multiple cell phones. Oh, they threw those also into the lobby.
Speaker 5Why Don't know this guy's unhinged?
Speaker 1Yeah, and then he grabbed the motor oil, began pouring it on himself, and the car in Threnz has set it on fire.
Speaker 5Oh my gosh. So I Googled is motor oil flammable? Because I didn't know, I just didn't know. But yeah, it says it's highly flammable. It says all it needs to do is be exposed to a spark, flame or high temperature.
Speaker 1Well, he didn't have any pants on, so there's possibly a spark somewhere. I don't know Gas, I don't know.
Speaker 5Oh, that'd be awful.
Speaker 1But he was arrested on multiple charges. That made it easy to arrest him because he's already right there in the jail.
Speaker 5I mean, okay, I'm picturing this guy. Yeah, I've been on like steroids or pain pills before, yeah, and I get like I need to sit down, sure, be quiet, yeah, and not say anything.
Speaker 1Get a little loopy. Go to sleep, yeah, because you're going to talk out of your head, sure anything, get a little loopy, go to sleep.
Speaker 5Yeah, because you're going to talk out of your head. Sure, this guy had to be on something To crash into the front of the lobby. Jump. Throw out two snakes. Yeah, how'd you know? No, I do, yep, jump. And then throw out 11 cell phones, jump.
Speaker 1Where do you get all the phones?
Speaker 5first of, all it's only so long, and why are?
Speaker 1you carrying them around with you With two rubber snakes.
Speaker 5What are you going to do? Just throw them. What are you doing? What is this thing?
Speaker 1doing. I'm going to beat you with a rubber snake. That's what he was doing, but luckily nobody was hurt. The guy, I guess. They gave him a new wardrobe, they took off the lady's top and gave him a nice little orange jumpsuit.
Speaker 5Oh, my God.
Speaker 1I don't know. That's crazy. You're on Facebook. You need to scroll down some for our animal story. This may be one of the most beautiful cows I've ever seen.
Speaker 5Yeah.
Speaker 1And one of the most expensive cows I've ever seen. They say this cow is worth about $4 million. Now. It's from Brazil. Now, brazil has hundreds of million cows, but one in particular is extraordinary. Her massive snow-white body is watched over by security cameras, a veterinarian and an armed guard. An armed guard they watch it nonstop because it's that expensive, it's that special, it's a. How do you say the name? Is it Viatina? Uh-huh, viatina, yeah, viatina 19 is the cow's official name. They're now saying it's the most expensive cow ever sold at auction. According to Guinness World Records, it sold for $4 million for a cow.
Speaker 5Dang yeah. Who's got that kind of money? I don't know.
Speaker 1I don't know, but they now have security, they have cameras, they have its very own personal vet that only takes care of this one cow.
Speaker 5Tell about the eggs.
Speaker 1Yeah. Now if you would like to receive eggs from the cow to help, you know, maybe have your own little cow from Vietina. It's going to cost you $250,000 to have some of the egg sales from Vietina.
Speaker 5So let me get my math straight. You buy this cow for $4 million. How many $250,000 sales does you have to take to get your money back?
Speaker 1Well, four would be $1 million, so it would be $16,000, I guess. Easy To get the money back, Easy. And they say they've already sold more than that. Oh my gosh, this cow also. I didn't know they had such a thing. It won a special award, including Miss South America. Oh, it's much like it says. Says a beauty contest for cows.
Speaker 5Oh, so it's not only the world's most expensive cow, yeah. It's the world's most beautiful cow.
Respecting and Caring for Seniors
Speaker 1It won Miss South America for cattle.
Speaker 5It is a very odd looking cow. It's huge.
Speaker 1Yeah, Look at the guy standing next to it in the picture. First of all, I would be so intimidated to stand beside that cow, wouldn't you? Could you imagine being in the pasture? This thing gets loose and comes after you.
Speaker 5Uh no. And then what's the hump on its back? Why does it have a big hump?
Speaker 1It's just the way they are.
Speaker 5It's just that certain breed Cows? Yeah, some of them do, some of them do. Yeah, I didn't know they had that.
Speaker 1Some do, but it's just the breed it is.
Speaker 5But it is, it's.
Speaker 1And then the front of it has tons of loose skin. It's just an amazing gift. Words of wisdom, the quote of the day we'll leave you with, and this one we talked about it earlier. I think this is a great one because there are so many people out there like your mom yeah, works with seniors, cares for seniors but I think this is just a great quote for everybody to think about this morning yeah, it says caring for our seniors is perhaps the greatest responsibility we have.
Speaker 1Those who walk before us have given us so much and have made possible the life we all enjoy yeah, always show them respect and, you know, help, take care of them, help do things for them, because they've done so much like for us when we were little, done so much for us when we were little. They took care of us when we were little.
Speaker 5They did, and they've raised generations, they've seen generations, they've lived generations and now they need help, being taken care of, and there's nothing that irks me more than elderly care, when people just neglect elderly.
Speaker 1Ignore them.
Speaker 5Because they can't function for themselves, and if you are a good geriatric nurse, thank you for your service.
