Speaker 5:You heard him say it, I heard him say it, you got it quoted right there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, hold on one second, here comes a good point. Okay, here we go, just save your life.
Speaker 4:That's the power of love.
Speaker 1:This makes me think of Back to the Future.
Speaker 5:I'm dancing.
Speaker 1:Love. You finally saw Back to the Future a few months ago.
Speaker 5:I know I got to see it. I think that I have wasted my whole life not watching Back to the Future.
Speaker 1:You need to see Part 2 and 3 now. It's just a great series.
Speaker 5:You know what I watched yesterday that you recommended. What's that? The Crow?
Speaker 1:Oh, the original. Yeah, the original With Brandon Lee.
Speaker 5:Well, 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 1:You need to watch the original.
Speaker 5:Yeah, so I watched it yesterday.
Speaker 1:There's so much creepy history around that movie where Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee's son, was killed while filming the movie.
Speaker 5:Yeah, so what happened? Real quick.
Speaker 1:There 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 1:When 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 1:They 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 5:Yes.
Speaker 1:When 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 5:Yeah, 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 1:is. It's a classic. Especially around Halloween, people watch the original Crone.
Speaker 5:It's a cult classic, it is yeah.
Speaker 1:It's just a well I would say cheaply made. But it's just a fix in that movie compared to today.
Speaker 5:It was kind of cheaply made.
Speaker 1:It was, but back in those days it was good and I would say it's like a cult classic.
Speaker 5:Yeah, and you're saying you can't wait to see what the new one? The new one, yeah.
Speaker 1:Because Bill Skarsgård, who plays Pennywise the Clown in it, is the Eric Draven in the new one.
Speaker 5:Yeah, when you told me that I looked up the trailer on YouTube.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's violent.
Speaker 5:Oh, it is Viewer. Discretion advised.
Speaker 1:Don't let the kids watch the trailer.
Speaker 5:No, they pop a guy on the head and show it.
Speaker 1:Oh man, it comes out in August, by the way. Yeah, so it's the new the Crow.

Speaker 1:Well, 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 5:We need to have a discussion. Stan Winthrop came in, yeah, and he was listening out.
Speaker 2:We're going to have him on in a minute.
Speaker 5:He'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 1:Rookie 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 1:But 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 4:Here's the topic.
Speaker 1:Rain 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 5:Oh 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 1:Yeah.
Speaker 5:Yes, I know what you're talking about. I think birds play a game.
Speaker 1:I think they, honestly, they get points. I think they honestly, they get points.
Speaker 5:I think they have like a game, a tally, and just keep up with it.
Speaker 1:It'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 5:I don't know. And why is it always on the windshield when you're driving down the interstate?
Speaker 1:Yes, why does that happen? It's usually at the spot of the windshield where the wipers don't quite reach it.
Speaker 5:Yes, or it does it right in front of your line of field of vision.
Speaker 1:Exactly.
Speaker 5:And you've got to smear it with the windshield wiper fluid. Come on birds.
Speaker 1:Come 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 5:I'm sorry, but no, gray is way on up there.
Speaker 1:Because yours is that kind of color.
Speaker 5:Yours is gray.
Speaker 1:It 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 5:And 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 1:I think birds know when you've washed your car. They can, they do. This is shiny.
Speaker 5:Let me let this go.
Speaker 1:Do you think I'm wrong? Do birds have a contest?
Speaker 5:No, I think you're right. I think they keep a tally of it.
Speaker 1:I 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 5:I 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 1:You're really into sound effects today.
Speaker 5:Well, I just you know.
Speaker 1:Disney 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 5:Oh yeah, I think you're right. I think they have target practice.
Speaker 1:I 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 5:This is true. I will say 3% for gray is low, though I agree, I think that's a little low.
Speaker 1:It 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 5:Okay.
Speaker 1:Guess what state it happens in.
Speaker 5:Let me guess.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 5:Is it Florida you?
Speaker 1:are 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 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:What do you think?
Speaker 5:So 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 1:So what color do you go for to match your, from the waist down, being naked?
Speaker 5:I 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 1:Yeah, 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 5:What yeah Wow?
Speaker 3:Don't know.
Speaker 5:This guy's got some mental issues going on. Alcohol was involved. Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1:A 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 5:I just picture him driving on the road like take this.
Speaker 1:Holding a rubber snake and he has multiple cell phones. Oh, they threw those also into the lobby.
Speaker 5:Why Don't know this guy's unhinged?
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then he grabbed the motor oil, began pouring it on himself, and the car in Threnz has set it on fire.
Speaker 5:Oh 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 1:Well, he didn't have any pants on, so there's possibly a spark somewhere. I don't know Gas, I don't know.
Speaker 5:Oh, that'd be awful.
Speaker 1:But he was arrested on multiple charges. That made it easy to arrest him because he's already right there in the jail.
Speaker 5:I 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 1:Get 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 5:Yeah, 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 1:Where do you get all the phones?
Speaker 5:first of, all it's only so long, and why are?
Speaker 1:you carrying them around with you With two rubber snakes.
Speaker 5:What are you going to do? Just throw them. What are you doing? What is this thing?
Speaker 1:doing. 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 5:Oh, my God.
Speaker 1:I 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 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And 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 5:Dang yeah. Who's got that kind of money? I don't know.
Speaker 1:I 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 5:Tell about the eggs.
Speaker 1:Yeah. 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 5:So 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 1:Well, 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 5:Oh, so it's not only the world's most expensive cow, yeah. It's the world's most beautiful cow.
Speaker 1:It won Miss South America for cattle.
Speaker 5:It is a very odd looking cow. It's huge.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 5:Uh no. And then what's the hump on its back? Why does it have a big hump?
Speaker 1:It's just the way they are.
Speaker 5:It's just that certain breed Cows? Yeah, some of them do, some of them do. Yeah, I didn't know they had that.
Speaker 1:Some do, but it's just the breed it is.
Speaker 5:But it is, it's.
Speaker 1:And 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 1:Those 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 5:They 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 1:Ignore them.
Speaker 5:Because they can't function for themselves, and if you are a good geriatric nurse, thank you for your service.
