Speaker 1:Had a good weekend, good Friday and a few more came in Saturday. Officially, 8,792 pounds of dog food has been collected. That is awesome, that's amazing Last year we're like twice or double where we were this time last year.
Speaker 6:Yeah, so we can definitely hit that goal. We're reaching for 22,000 pounds of dog food this year. You can help us make it All you do. I know it seems weird, but you bring the food to the station. Bring the dog food to the station. We know that it's like not. It feels like. I've had a few messages like where do I take it? Do I take it to the shelter? You can, Sure, but you can take it to the station and that's where we're keeping all of it until we give it to Second Chance, and we would love to have more. We would love to give you a Wolfstock T-shirt. So any 30-pound donation or more gets a Wolfstock T-shirt, Sure, and then let me throw in Purina Preferred. Yes.
Speaker 1:Yes, and Doug McGee, with Second Chance Shelter, will be joining us later this morning, about 8.30 or so, talking about Wolfstock and how much this means, because every pound they collect it means they don't have to buy it from the shelter. So the money that's donated to them they can then use that money to help with other improvements for the shelter, improvements for the dogs, for the puppies. So anyway, if you have detail, need details on that, you can always call us here at qsv. How do you know things you need to know?

Speaker 1:Do you have a recipe you follow?
Speaker 6:We had pre-made sugar bags. The guys in the back had a weight on the scale and how many pounds of sugar per urn we would have pre-packaged sugar. It was easy to just pour the tea in, put the water in, put the sugar in gotcha.

Speaker 4:Get somebody from the back Come out here. They want a couple of bottles.
Speaker 6:Dolly Wine delivery. Yep, here's something to think about. Okay, of all the foods that taste like chicken, I've been thinking about this. Isn't it weird that eggs are not one of them? Yep, I know.
Speaker 1:I've never thought about that.
Speaker 6:Eggs do not taste like chicken, but they come from the chicken.
Speaker 1:Shouldn't they taste more like chicken than people say? Oh, like alligator meat. Oh, it tastes like chicken.
Speaker 6:Oh, it tastes like chicken.
Speaker 1:Snake meat tastes like chicken. Snake meat Tastes like chicken, tastes like chicken. Eggs should taste like chicken because it comes right from the source. Oh, don't, don't taste like chicken, comes right from the back door, mm-hmm, but it doesn't. Mm-hmm, that is weird, I know. Excellent point.
Speaker 6:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah 618. Barry and Holly. Today's also a big day for me. I get to go back to the doctor today.
Speaker 6:Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1:Usually you're not excited about going to the doctor. Nobody is. Has anybody ever got upset? Yes, I'm going to the doctor today.

Speaker 1:Really.
Speaker 6:Oh yeah, I have friends that love to go to the doctor, love to be sick, love to get the medicine.
Speaker 1:Gotcha, gotcha, I know I catch your drift here Seekers. Yeah, but today first I had to go back to the surgeon since my arm shoulder surgery.
Speaker 6:Two weeks ago.
Speaker 1:Yeah, two weeks ago, thursday, a little over two and a half. So I'm hoping these braces, these will drive you crazy. Yes, they're needed. They have your arm in with a little red ball at the end of it. Yes, it's a genius idea, but they will drive you crazy. The only time they can come off really is when you do rehab therapy or you take a shower.
Speaker 6:Yeah, I've heard so many people here ask you what the red ball is for. What would you throw at people I like?
Speaker 1:to mess with them and say what red ball Whoa, where did this come from? I had no idea. It was even in there.
Speaker 6:Why is there so many comments about the?
Speaker 1:red ball. It's a good idea because it's to take off and squeeze and to help. You know, just, I don't know what does it help?
Speaker 6:It probably just loosens up your tendons it does.
Speaker 1:It does, but that's why Somebody's attached to this brace, and this brace will drive you crazy.
Speaker 6:Hey, listen, I got to tell you something. Okay, we got a listener of the day. Oh, that's right, we do, miss Diana Posey, and so Miss Diana is T-shirt.

Speaker 1:I knew it would, because sweet tea is huge in the South.
Speaker 6:Well, people are passionate about it.
Speaker 1:We went to California with the Albert O'Ban years ago and went to one of the restaurants. And what do you want to drink, sir? I said sweet tea and she just dropped her pencil. I said sweet tea and she dropped her pencil and threw her little order tag at me and just went out the door screaming because she had no idea what I just said. But it's like they have no clue what sweet tea is outside of the South.
Speaker 6:When.
Speaker 1:I go out to Utah.
Speaker 6:When I used to go out to Utah about once a month, I knew not to get sweet tea, because the first time I had ordered sweet tea I told you they brought me a tea and a. What are those called? Not a saucer, but a little, a little teacup, a teacup. They brought me a teacup and ice and sugar packets.
Speaker 1:That was your sweet tea.
Speaker 6:That was my sweet tea. I was trying to explain it to them. It's tea, but it has sugar in it and it's cold. You put ice in it. You know, just sweet tea.
Speaker 1:It's like something out of Alice in Wonderland, I know.
Speaker 6:It was weird.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but you're right, they don't know what you're talking about Because they drink their regular tea or hot tea and I read this morning that the number one tea in the world is black tea.
Speaker 6:In the world, in the world, okay, because you go in these other countries and they have no clue what's going on Then? We were wondering what is brown tea? What is our tea? I don't know, brownish red tea. No, it's not black tea.
Speaker 1:No, a good glass of sweet tea. You take about three pounds of sugar, then you pour a little bit of tea on it, and that's how I love my sweet. I know my cardiologist just threw his flip-flop at the radio.

Little chopped green onions in their coffee. That's the hot new drink in China.
Speaker 6:Okay, I'm looking this up. It looks disgusting.
Speaker 1:Well, it's iced coffee. Whether it's iced or hot doesn't matter. Who puts onions in their coffee, oh my gosh, it's gone viral too.
Speaker 6:Yeah, okay, so you're telling me that people are drinking iced coffee with chopped up onions inside of it?
Speaker 1:And they float to the top. So I guess if you don't use a straw or something, you get a mouthful of coffee. You're also getting a couple of scallions in your drink.
Speaker 6:I'm looking at the picture here. That's not just a few scallions.
Speaker 1:No, it's like the whole top of it is covered.
Speaker 6:Yeah, oh God no.
Speaker 1:You're the big coffee drinker here at the station. Have you ever had anything unusual? I know you put like sugar cream. That's not unusual, but anything unusual in your drinks.
Speaker 6:No, I put like cinnamon whipped cream. That makes sense. I've done some small things like that.
Speaker 1:But never onions, never onions. No, why would you want onions in your coffee?
Speaker 6:I don't know, but I do love to dip, you know, those Belvita crackers. I love to dip those in my coffee.
Speaker 1:Those are good.
Speaker 6:Like Oreos and milk, I do that with Belvita and coffee. It's yum.
Speaker 1:Okay, they're calling it dark cuisine. In China, it's a new trend that's taken over. They're now coming up with different things to put into their coffee. They're very unusual, and so far, the one that's caught on are the chopped green onions.
Speaker 6:The one that's caught on are the chopped green onions. What would you call that Come?
Speaker 1:up with a name Diarrhea. This is waiting to happen. Give me an extra large cup of diarrhea, please.

Speaker 1:Time for Holly's pile of stories. Over the weekend I was curious on how the Will Smith movie would do the new Bad Boys movie, Because you wonder, has he waited long enough since the Chris Rock slapping incident for people to forgive him? How well did his movie do over the weekend?
Speaker 6:It did pretty good. Bad Boys Ride or Die topped the weekend box office with $56 million.
Speaker 1:That surprises me.
Speaker 6:That does me too.
Speaker 1:That makes me think people have forgiven Will and he's moving on. I've forgiven Will, yeah, have you? Yeah, he came out, he apologized, and once you apologize. He came out, he apologized, once you apologize. He made a mistake. It was a stupid move when he did the whole slapping thing. And the Bad Boys movies are good I haven't seen this one, of course, but I like them they're good.
Speaker 6:The Garfield movie brought in $10 million and the movie If brought in $8 million and this weekend, I think it's In-N-Out.
Speaker 1:Part 2. Yeah, so what's In-N-Out Part 2? In-n-out, yeah, in-n-out 2. In-n-out 2 comes out. That one looks good, then you've got Twisters just around the corner. Then I think the next weekend A Quiet Place, the new A Quiet Place movie, comes out. Ooh, in two weeks. I think two weeks. I'll have to look and see for sure.
Speaker 6:But there's a lot of good movies coming up this summer of Will of Fortune on Friday, calling it an incredible privilege to be invited into millions of homes night after night, year after year.
Speaker 1:He was a perfect host.

Speaker 1:I'm still surprised she didn't step down too.
Speaker 6:I know I don't think she's ready. She still enjoys it, yeah she still enjoys it as long as you enjoy it, keep doing it. Yeah, keep bringing that paycheck in, girl. And at the Daytime Emmy Awards on Friday, 98-year-old Dick Van Dyke made television history as the oldest winner, bruce, I didn't know he was still alive.

Speaker 6:I do too. I used to love Ellen and tell all that, and then there was none that I liked.
Speaker 8:No.
Speaker 6:And then Kelly came on and I'm like you know what she's so positive.
Speaker 1:She is, she's good, and supportive to people. She's so talented, oh yeah.
Speaker 6:I love when she sings on the show and she has good guests and she gives good interviews and she tells people like it's okay to not be okay. Machine Gun Kelly, I know that, don't roll your eyes, just hear me out. Machine Gun Kelly was on her show one time and he said I just don't feel like doing this today.

We're getting a lot of great response off of this and we look through and try to find quotes that may be inspiring, maybe help you put a smile on your face. Sometimes we just try to find ones that's funny, like we had one from Kermit the Frog back a few weeks ago.
Speaker 6:We did, but it was inspiring, so what?
Speaker 1:have you got for us today?
Speaker 6:I love this one. It says hard work spotlights the character of people.
Speaker 1:Some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses and some don't turn up at all. I've been at different jobs, different places, where there's some of all of that inside the workplace. It happens all the time, wherever you go.
Speaker 6:It's in every workplace.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but you're right, hard work shows your character. If you're willing to get out there and give it the extra mile, trust me, you're going to go further in life the harder you work. I know you may be thinking well, I've been working hard at my job for years and I don't have any other raise. But if nothing else, inside you know that when you've left the job you've given everything you've had that day.
Speaker 6:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That's all. Anybody can ask of you.
Speaker 6:Yeah, this one reminds me a lot of our owner, mrs Currington, because when she runs a recycling center, if you'll drive by there, sometimes you'll see her with her sleeves rolled up. Yep, sure will Working and sweating in that warehouse and she doesn't. It says some turn up their noses. She could have every rot, but she refuses. She helps.
Speaker 4:She gets down and dirty and some places have some who don't turn up at all. And then there's those.
Speaker 1:You are correct. Yes, yeah, yeah, absolutely good stuff. At 7, 15 wqsb mornings with barry and holly, when, dory uh, give us your thoughts on this one, rachel. I've seen it happen in this area all the time in utah a bride-to-be and her future husband. They were moving some furniture. They had to move a mattress and they didn't have a big enough truck. So he said, okay, we're going to put the mattress in the back of the truck and we need something to weight it down. Oh honey, why don't you lay on top of it? I'll drive slow that way. We've got to get this mattress because we've got to get all this stuff done. So she jumps on top of it. He went a little too fast, puffed the wind, picked up the mattress and the bride-to-be dropped them both in the middle of the highway. Luckily the truck that was almost going to run over her swerved at the last minute. She was injured, she's okay, mostly just road rash on her. You can see a picture of her arms and it also knocked her two front teeth out.
Speaker 6:Oh my gosh, Are you kidding me so?
Speaker 1:here she is getting ready for the wedding coming up in just days and she's had, well, the two front teeth. They're basically chipped in half. So here she is, with the wedding coming up and she's missing her two front teeth.
Speaker 6:Yeah, she's skint. Oh, my goodness, she's skint up. Yeah, oh my gosh, do they not have bungee cords?
Speaker 1:Apparently not.
Speaker 6:Say hey, babe, let's go to the store and buy some bungee cords for this mattress. Why?
Speaker 1:didn't she drive the truck and put him back there?
Speaker 3:Good question.
Speaker 6:I don't know.
Speaker 1:Be a gentleman about this. Put yourself in the back of it.
Speaker 6:I don't. Here's my thought. If I was a bride-to-be, this might be my red flag to leave the relationship. He's like, hey, honey, just jump on top of there and hold that mattress down. I won't go too fast.
Speaker 8:I won't go fast.
Speaker 1:But look at her.
Speaker 6:It's just a few miles.
Speaker 1:Look at her arms and look at her mouth.
Speaker 6:Oh my gosh. Her teeth chipped is what's killing me. I know she looks and the skint mark up her face and no front teeth. Yep, and I like it because she's sitting in hospital scrubs, yeah, by the way, the wedding.
Speaker 5:Give it a thumbs up, I got it. Look at me.
Speaker 1:The wedding was the next day. You're joking. I checked, it was the next day, so I don't know if she could get her teeth fixed in time for the wedding.
Speaker 6:So, imagine all those photos, I would die. You'd have to smile like this, no, teeth, you couldn't show your teeth.
Speaker 1:And she had to put something over her arms because they are skint bad.
Speaker 5:I can't believe this, check this out on our Facebook.
Speaker 6:Yeah, you got gotta check this out. But crazy I'm like you the teeth. I couldn't do it the next day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he would owe me big time For the rest of our relationship.
Speaker 6:I love you so much.
Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 6:You are the best thing that ever happened to me. Exactly Alright 741.
Speaker 4:Barry and Holly On Alabama's Country, giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:So there's a lot of stuff going on, but first I want to mention that there's some sad news, but eventually it's going to turn into better news. But Wendy's in Albertville You're going to be doing some remodeling soon.
Speaker 8:Yes, sometime in July I'm going to guess into July, probably running through September we're getting a full remodel. The building's just going to gut the building we have, so it can stay the same dimensions. We need a bigger building, gotcha, because the new ones are too small. They're going to be ripping the carpet out of it, so you still kind of recognize it, but it's going to be one of the most technical.
Speaker 7:Okay.
Speaker 8:One of the most advanced Wendy's you've ever seen.
Speaker 2:It's got the AI menu boards.
Speaker 8:No way it's going to go from the crap it is to something extremely impressive.
Speaker 6:I'm really sad, though, because they're taking away your sign.
Speaker 8:They are. My sign is leaving. I've got about 30 more days probably.
Speaker 1:I've got a bunch of signs to put up. We've got to stop that. We've got to have the sign when they go into the LED.
Speaker 8:It'll have the LED light, the LED signs on it.
Speaker 6:We'll control it from outer space.
Speaker 8:So it comes from corporate, then it comes from corporate and they are like zero fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 8:Oh no.
Speaker 2:I mean like they have no sense of humor whatsoever.
Speaker 8:Our marketing guy would probably bury me behind the dumpster if he could.
Speaker 6:So honestly, like for real, on a real level, are you sad that the sign's going away?
Speaker 8:Well, yeah, I mean We've been able to help about, I think it's right at 71 businesses Wow, 71 businesses. So from that perspective, yeah, yeah, it is, but I'm working on an outlet to get my ignorance and whatever you want to call it out in another way. So there's no stopping. When you're like me and Barry, there's just no stopping us.
Speaker 1:That's true, it's true, yeah we're gonna get out, we're gonna get out, yeah, but now there's some good news. You brought in a whole bunch of foods.
Speaker 8:There's a lot of new stuff coming wendy, starting today yeah, starting today, we have, uh, uh, I like to call them naughty nuggets, but they're saucy nuggets and we have a triple berry frosty and I'm gonna let everybody knows. I don't know what's going on. Most of the time there's no clue. So I'm going to let Bailey tell you all about these flavors and everything new that we have.
Speaker 1:So she pretty much runs the show from what we're figuring out.
Speaker 8:Basically, yeah, basically, yeah, you're the show horse.
Speaker 6:And Bailey's the work horse right.
Speaker 8:Exactly, I'm the getter done and she's to make sure we're selling the right products. If it was up to me, it would be selling hot dogs, hot dogs.
Speaker 6:Hey, I like hot dogs Wendy's hot dogs, that sounds good to me and corn dogs like Fanny Farkel's and Gatlinburg.
Speaker 8:We're just selling all kinds of stuff, but we're not allowed to do that kind of stuff. We have rules and regulations, apparently, apparently, uh-huh, oh wow.
Speaker 1:But we do have new nuggets that start officially today.
Speaker 8:Today. You can buy them today and hopefully we have enough nuggets Bailey I hope so.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, let's. I hope we do. Well, let's ask Bailey and see what kind of flavors, cause we've got them lined up over here next to us. So what all flavors do we have you tried?

Speaker 6:This is going to be big.
Speaker 1:This is good, so which one? So you got chocolate and this. You only have like two at one time, is that right?
Speaker 8:Yeah, that's right. So we'll always have chocolate. They'll never not do chocolate, it's original.

Speaker 8:And then the vanilla will just turn into different things.
Speaker 1:This is good. What do you think? Did you try it?
Speaker 8:I big berry dude, do you think the orange was better than that one? I think the orange was better than this. These are good. I'm not saying, if I got it I'd eat it.
Speaker 6:Be honest, which one do you like better? Because I know you love Dream Sickle.
Speaker 1:Dream Sickle is my favorite one you've had so far, but this one is right behind it, and the strawberry one is also very good, but is strawberry coming back later this year? Any idea?
Speaker 8:I think they're just doing drugs in a test kitchen. I'm not real sure, gotcha, I'm not real sure. I'm hoping for peanut butter. Okay, peanut butter frosting, that's good. That'll probably gum those frosting machines all up.

Well, give us three.
Speaker 8:Sign changing with my pole. Okay, my pole. There's one I'm going to say pole vault to the sign.

Speaker 1:That was a good one. What else do you do? Well, what was the question?
Speaker 8:again, if we're doing the Olympics, yes, if you had an Olympic sport like pair and underwear and shirts, that was a good one. What else do you do? Well, what was the question?
Speaker 6:again, if we're doing the Olympics, yes, if you had an Olympics sport like pair and underwear and shirts, you did that well.
Speaker 1:Today you said Things you could win a gold medal doing that Russell could win. Posting.
Speaker 8:Facebook posts that I take down five minutes later because I realized what I just did. There you go. That's a good one. I could gold medal in that and what else?
Speaker 6:something to do with your mouth. Something to do with my mouth, yeah and I guess just stupid science.
Speaker 8:Yes, there you go well.
Speaker 1:I hate to break the news to you.
Speaker 8:I work for it in a very positive way.
Speaker 1:No, I'm kidding, I do, well I hate to break the news, ashley kicked her butt in this she did, but she got the good one she drug you across the old Wendy's carpet on this one.
Speaker 8:Yes, she did. She got the cicada question of all things. I still think my cicada frosty popped a little into the red eyeballs, oh God.
Speaker 1:That was good. Well, it's been great again. You had a brain freeze on us, Russell.
Speaker 8:We got time to try these nuggets.
Speaker 1:Yeah, sure, okay, break out the nuggets. Okay, yeah, we'll try a nugget real quick. Rachel, you want a nugget? Sure, I love nuggets, yeah.
Speaker 8:I don't know what it is Wendy's and Aaliyah's like trying to get the Aaliyah's off the cups and everything.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, every time you get them off, it's like breaking into a vault.
Speaker 6:So this one is garlic parmesan.
Speaker 1:That's ghost pepper, I guess. Oh, you give me the ghost pepper.
Speaker 6:Barry has ghost pepper. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1:Let me see that's the ghost pepper.
Speaker 6:Oh no, that's good.
Speaker 1:Woo Wow.

Speaker 5:There's honey, barbecue, ghost pepper, garlic, parmesan and buffalo.
Speaker 6:Awesome, and you can get the spicy and non-spicy right. Yes, on all of them, except for the buffalo, those are only spicy. The ghost pepper, ghost pepper, okay, okay, gotcha.
Speaker 1:Is this one spicy or non-spicy? Non-spicy, this one's not bad. The ghost pepper has a good taste to it.
Speaker 6:You may have both.
Speaker 5:That one's the hot one, that's the spicy one, I think, and that's the buffalo, the one that was by itself should have been.
Speaker 1:Whatever I had, it wasn't that bad at all.
Speaker 8:It was good I'm going to eat my protein bar and I'm going to kick it next time, gotcha.
Speaker 6:You've got to try the garlic farm.
Speaker 1:These are very good. Definitely go by Wendy's and grab their nuggets today.
Speaker 6:These are good Barbecue's really good Bailey is this one buffalo.
Speaker 5:Yeah, if that's the one that's going to marry now it is.
Speaker 1:I think it's buffalo, buffalo Garlic Parmesan. I highly recommend those.

Speaker 1:WQSB Justin Moore, this is my dirt 851. Look, Tyler Mazin, he brought some dirt, some Hawaiian dirt, to us. Well, thank you, Tyler, Thank you so much. It's a long way to there and back.
Speaker 6:How many hours is the flight?
Speaker 7:Well, going there, we went.
Speaker 6:Did you drive?
Speaker 7:We drove to.
Speaker 6:I had to play the dumb blonde. Look at you. You got to pull up a map and show me.
Speaker 7:No, we went Atlanta to Phoenix, phoenix to San Francisco. Okay, spent the night. Okay, san Francisco to Hawaii.
Speaker 6:Oh yeah, because you took a picture in front of the full house.
Speaker 7:We went to the full house. Yeah, we went to Alcatraz, which, by the way, like forget Hawaii, alcatraz, I was ready to come home after going to Alcatraz. Yeah, that was enough, I'm so glad my wife's asleep and not listening right now.
Speaker 6:He peeked at Alcatraz.
Speaker 7:That. That was awesome. I thought that would be like a guided tour. No, they cut you loose right when you get in there, no way you just sort of do your own thing.
Speaker 6:Can you go into the cell? Oh yeah, no way, I'll show you some photos, okay.
Speaker 7:Wow, but my 10, 11-year-old I can't remember how old he is 10, son.
Speaker 6:Jordan on the way back.
Speaker 7:We watched the Clint Eastwood movie Escape from Alcocer. It was amazing from how really nothing's changed Really From that movie shot in the 70s to now and I was like remember when we were there, we were there, so that was my highlight of the trip. But for all the ladies out there, we went across the pond to Hawaii.
Speaker 1:How long is the flight from land to Hawaii?
Speaker 7:It was another from San Francisco to Hawaii. It was probably five and a half, six hours that would scare me today, being over water that long, so had a few luggage issues, flight cancellation issues, you know just nothing that gets your anxiety going it drives you crazy. Yes, but you know, in today's world customer service, it makes you appreciate living here, Living in the south Just how nice everybody is, Because when you get outside of this area it's like they need a lesson in customer service sometimes.
Speaker 6:And you said everything was so expensive. Like you said, it was $70 to park Daily, just to park, just to park.
Speaker 7:Yeah. I don't have that so if you need Hawaiian travel advice, hit me up, but I rented a car, which cost money. And then I had to pay to park the rental car $70 a day and I was like that was a mistake, we could have just Ubered. But yeah, we went to Pearl Harbor and saw that over there, which is phenomenal and it's I mean, it's so somber, yeah, and it's so quiet and it's not near as big as you think it would be.
Speaker 6:Really.
Speaker 7:I compare it to, you know, the area around top of the river. Yeah, the top of the river. That's about how big Pearl Harbor is. Really, that body of water, wow, it's no bigger than that area?
Speaker 6:Oh, I thought it was a lot bigger than that.
Speaker 7:It's not very big at all, but we're back and I'm broke, so you're here. So I'm here today trying to earn a dollar. It's working until midnight tonight. I'm going to be breaking cardboard boxes in the back after the show ends today, because my wife absolutely broke me.

Speaker 7:It happens, Linda. Can I still make jokes about Linda?
