Speaker 1:I was saying about the same thing. I was mashing them up. You're totally confused. I was mashing them up, but we're going to give those away to a different set of pair of tickets coming up around 745.
Speaker 7:We're just giving away everything.
Speaker 1:We have a lot of stuff to give away. We're just giving away everything. We have a lot of stuff to give away. We're getting closer and closer to the Father's Day big contest. Thursday night at midnight is your deadline to send in Dad's photo with a lawnmower for a chance to win a brand new lawnmower. We'll tell you more about that. We've stocked another big day of dog food collecting. We're now over 10,000 pounds. We'll give you details on that. And just go back to something yesterday. We're talking about sweet tea. I had another big glass of sweet tea yesterday, I know.
Speaker 7:Where'd you get it from?
Speaker 1:We had Jack's to begin the day with and some later in the day some Milo's sweet tea, oh yeah, which it's hard to beat.
Speaker 7:Milo's.
Speaker 1:It's hard to beat Milo's, yeah, and speaking of Milo's, milo's made our top list. Yep, we gave you a job to tell us who makes the best sweet tea, fast food or restaurants in the area, and I'm a little surprised because I didn't even think about that, but when they said it, yeah, captain d's, yeah, got the most votes.
Speaker 7:Captain d's got the most votes. We had 375 comments, yeah, and a lot of the same answers that we were going over, like zaxby's. Um, a lot of people like mcdonald's. Some people hated mcdonald's they were torn yeah, um, chick-fil-a was a big one, right? Um, let me look at a lot of locals.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I love the squallies. The squallies dell's barbecue had a bunch morgan house basket. Yeah, yeah, morgan, you're right, morgan has a lot of good ones, but that's our coast.
Speaker 7:That was voted. That was very, very popular. Julia's had some votes, so one thing's for sure we love our sweet tea.
Speaker 1:Yes, we do and captain d's was, according to our listeners, voted the best sweet tea in the area, that's it hard joke. And here's another thing we were went down to the lake do some walking yesterday because it was a beautiful day, and I went through taco bell to get something to eat because I wanted to try the Cheez-Its the new Cheez-It thing which I will say it's very good.
Speaker 7:You know what? I was disappointed when I saw it, Because I was like this is not what it looks like.
Speaker 1:I thought it would be bigger.
Speaker 7:I thought it would be yeah.
Speaker 1:Maybe like a sheet of plywood or something.
Speaker 4:I was expecting them to have to break it out Two people bring it out to me and laid it in the back seat.
Speaker 7:No, but I went walking with you because, like we've talked about, we're both trying to do what our doctors tell us he is trying. And when we did get it, they said can you pull up? Here's the problem when you pull up at Taco Bell in Guntersville, you're stuck.
Speaker 1:There's a curb you can't move.
Speaker 7:So like if you pay for your food and the person in front of you hasn't gotten their food, you're stuck.
Speaker 1:Traffic jam.
Speaker 7:And then I have panic attacks.
Speaker 1:But anyway, here's the thing about pulling up, which I get it. They had to make like the potatoes or something. I get it. Sometimes had to make like the potatoes or something, yeah, I get it. Sometimes you don't have everything. You're going to make it fresh, I get that. But to me, I think it would be a great management decision here. Fast food people that if I was a manager and somebody had to pull up and had to sit there for maybe five or six, seven minutes, put a little something extra in their bag. Yeah, Give them a little something extra, like Taco Bell could have given us, I don't know, like maybe 20 tacos or something. No, not 20 tacos, Okay one.
Speaker 7:But they pulled us up and it took like 10, 15 minutes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I could see that that would be a good management move. Sure, it'll be a good management move.
Speaker 7:Yeah, I think so. But what they're doing is this is what drives me crazy about it they're watching the time clock on their timers on their drive-thru and they get in trouble if they go over a certain amount of time for these vehicles to pass through the window. So if they pull through the window, they count that one as done. And so when they pull you up because you're getting to work on the next customer, that's what drives me crazy. Yeah, don't do it for the numbers, do it right, absolutely.
Speaker 1:That's a pet peeve, I don't know. Just something to think about. If somebody has to pull forward and stay there for five to ten minutes, put a little something extra in the back. That will be getting me wanting to come back again soon. Yeah, you know who does that a lot. Who's that?
Speaker 7:Jefferson's If they're ever late, or we always gave out pickle appetizers and Kaylee is really good at doing that the GM down there. But there's certain restaurants in Chandler. I feel like Chandler would do something like that down at Gridiron, but I feel like we have the great small businesses that take care of us better than these big corporate businesses.
Speaker 1:There's one I'll say I wish you would. You do great at customer service, probably the best customer service. But the one thing they're lacking is Sometimes you'll sit in the drive-thru for a while. I never see them ask somebody to pull forward if they're waiting on something and you'll sit there. You know the one with the good sweet tea that you like. You sit there and you'll sit in that drive-thru for a while because they never ask the other people to pull forward. I'm not going to call out names, but I think it's a courtesy thing for people.
Speaker 7:It will move the line faster. Yeah, I think I just get frustrated that I have to wait like 10 minutes, 15 minutes Exactly, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1:So anyway, I do recommend the Cheez-It thing.
Speaker 7:Yeah the Tostada, yeah, cheez-it Tostada.
Speaker 1:I heard the other one that went since I had the Crunchwrap one yeah but it was good though. All right things. You need to know it's tuesday, june 11th. Uh, today, national corn on the cob day. Yeah, you like corn on the cob I love corn on the cob.
Speaker 7:Let me tell you, my six-year-old lost one of her teeth eating corn on the cob.
Speaker 1:Oh, she lost it. Yeah, you got into the corn on the cob yeah, today is national corn on the cob day.
Speaker 7:The top ways to eat corn is number one eat it off the cob.
Speaker 1:Absolutely. Just eat it off the cob, get in that thing, get in there. Yeah, make it yours, uh-huh. Own it. You have to. There's no polite way to eat. I've seen some people get the cob and then they'll get their knife and they'll slice them off. Then they'll get their fork, and then they'll get their knife and they'll nibble oh, no way They'll slice them off, no way. Then they'll get their fork and then they'll politely.
Speaker 7:If it's not all over your face, you're not doing it right.
Speaker 1:Exactly yeah.
Speaker 7:Okay, number two is cut. Okay, go ahead. Number two is cut the kernels off the cob.
Speaker 1:That's weird. Don't do that. I've never done that.
Speaker 7:No, don't do that. And number three is Popped, which is my favorite.
Speaker 1:Popcorn I love popcorn. I love popcorn, yeah.
Speaker 7:And here's something you need to know. Here are the names being tossed around to replace Katy Perry on American Idol. Are you ready? Okay, pink, okay, I know, miley Cyrus that would be pretty good I like her, yeah, and who I think would be best Meghan Trainor.
Speaker 1:I can see her getting it and she'd be so good Because she was on this past season as a guest mentor. Mm-hmm yeah.
Speaker 7:And Kelly Clarkson has said it won't be me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she has contract problems so she can't get out of it, Yep.
Speaker 7:Yep, and here's something to think about. Used to use has changed over the years.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what's that?
Speaker 7:She's always used to say if you can't say anything nice about someone, don't say anything at all.
Speaker 1:I've heard that my whole life.
Speaker 7:It's just changed because if you can't say anything nice about someone, you should probably know the same people I do. If you can't say something nice about someone, just come sit with me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because we probably not the same people.
Speaker 7:Yeah.
Speaker 1:There's nothing nice to say. 616.
Speaker 5:Barry and Holly on Alabama's Country, Giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:Three, barry and Holly. Did you see the video of Carrie falling off the stage?
Speaker 7:I did, and it wasn't. It wasn't bad.
Speaker 1:It wasn't too bad of a tumble, but hey give it to Carrie because it was in South Carolina. Myrtle Beach had a big concert and a torrential downpour started. Carrie said the show must go on. Yeah, so she was headlining the set and she went on. It's a Carolina country music fest, so she went out on stage and pretty much did the show in the pouring down rain. As she turns to walk off the stage, you can see she's going down the steps. As she turns to walk off the stage, you can see she's going down the steps and, like the right before you, she disappears. The legs go out from under her, down she goes. But with her being the shape she's in, I'm probably bounced up and beat the steps up she probably tore them apart.
Speaker 1:Here's what got my attention. The headline of one of these uh news sources yeah, respected news sources. The headline said carrie under news sources. Respected news sources. The headline said Carrie Underwood unexpectedly falls off stage during concert. Oh Lord, okay. Who expects to fall off the stage when they go on stage?
Speaker 7:Hold on. I'm about to fall off the stage. Tonight We'll ask our newsman Scott Chambers.
Speaker 1:The wording of this is Carrie Underwood unexpectedly falls off stage. Okay, like here you are, holly, about to go on stage. Right, you're saying, hey, I've got a big show, I'm excited. I bet I'm going to fall off. I'm probably going to fall off the stage at some point. I bet I am Probably around the 30-minute mark. Just look, come pick me up, I'm probably going to fall off.
Speaker 7:Because then it's, expectedly.
Speaker 1:Then Expectedly. Yeah, carrie Underwood, expectedly falls off the stage again. For the fourth time in the week she falls off the stage again On purpose.
Speaker 7:She's like I just can't help it.
Speaker 1:I just love falling off stages. My fans are my life.
Speaker 7:Rain shows are a thing. Did you know that Rain shows are like a thing Apparently?
Speaker 1:so.
Speaker 7:It's like Taylor Swift is always known to do rain shows. Carrie Underwood did her rain shows, I think. I saw where Miranda Lambert had a rain show this past weekend.
Speaker 1:Well, I admire these people. As long as it's not lightning, yeah, get out there and do it, because people have paid good money for this and you hate to be the one that says the weather's too bad, I've got to cancel. Yeah, I know, and everybody's out there in the pouring down rain waiting for you to get on at the stage and then you say, ah, it's too much rain for me, I'm going to go back home. Yeah, yeah, but I admire people who do that.
Speaker 7:Oh yeah, I do too, I would want to. I would, I mean, it sounds like romantic. Like I'm going to dance out in the rain for two hours.
Speaker 1:No, it poncho I mean you get out there. You're soaking wet, you're riding around the stage, your drawers begin to curl up on you and they start digging into your groin and it's not comfortable. Yeah, if you wear them? I don't know.
Speaker 7:You may not.
Speaker 1:But still, it's the clothes. It's just, you're miserable, but you're still putting on a show. I got a question for you. All right, I need your help. Utah has a new National Hockey League. They're going to have a new team from Utah, oh, and they're having a name problem. Oh, they've thrown out names and they've narrowed it down. I'm going to give you the six names. Okay, this is the new hockey team from Utah. They've narrowed it down to six the Utah Blizzard, the Utah HC, which is hockey club Utah Mammoth I'm talking here, oh, hockey club Utah Mammoth. I'm talking here. The Utah Outlaws, the Utah Venom or the Utah Yeti. Those are your six finalists. Which one do you think has the best ring to it? I would look at it as which one can sell the most merchandise, like when the Trash Pandas did the Trash Pandas.
Speaker 1:People said what but man? Their merchandise went through the roof and people are still going crazy over the Trash Pandas logo.
Speaker 7:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it's a good idea. I remember when they announced they were going to be Trash Pandas, I was like what?
Speaker 1:But the merchandise, they sell, it all over the place. Yeah, it's wonderful, so this one, you've got the Utah Yeti, the Venom, the Outlaws, the Mammoth, the HC or the Blizzard.
Speaker 7:Not the HC.
Speaker 1:Not the Blizzard. I don't think the Blizzard's not known to have snow. I don't want to picture it as a Blizzard.
Speaker 7:Yeah, and I don't like Mammoth.
Speaker 1:What about Outlaws Venom or Yeti?
Speaker 7:I like the Yeti I guess.
Speaker 3:Yeti.
Speaker 1:yeah, Because you've got the Yeti, which is like Bigfoot Sasquatch. I think you could have some great.
Speaker 3:They could even bring our buddy Sasquatch from Possum.
Speaker 1:Day out there to play saxophone Sasquatch. So you'd go with the Utah Yeti I would go with Utah Yeti.
Speaker 7:That has a good ring to it, I think.
Speaker 1:If it's a good logo, I wouldn't mind having one of their t-shirts.
Speaker 7:Yeah, but I wouldn't want Utah Blizzards, no, utah Mammoths.
Speaker 1:I'd go to the Yeti, so we'll see what they do. All right, it's 628.
Speaker 5:WQSB.
Speaker 1:Mornings with Barry and Holly. Hey, a couple of things. Porch pirates, that makes me mad, yeah, that makes me mad. Just stealing.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:And I've never seen this happen before In Ohio. A FedEx guy is walking up to the front porch to drop off a package. Watch the video Go to our Facebook page. He walks up to the door, lays the package down, knocks on the door. The minute the guy knocks on the door, the FedEx guy turns around and somebody runs onto the porch right beside him, grabs the package and runs off the porch. And the guy from FedEx is still standing there.
Speaker 7:He just put the package down on the porch. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:I've never seen anybody this brave or this crazy.
Speaker 7:So I'm watching the video.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 7:The guy just literally runs up and grabs it and go yeet Excuse me Coming through. And then the guy, like you said, he's just like, he's just sitting there like what do I do?
Speaker 1:He don't want to run and chase him because he looks like maybe an older guy. So even if he, wasn't.
Speaker 7:No, you never chase him you don't know if he's got a gun?
Speaker 1:You don't know if he's got buddies in the car with guns. You don't know and it's not worth risking your life over to go and get it back. But I'm sure inside the package was an Apple Watch.
Speaker 7:Okay, so, so, okay. So I hope they got insurance on it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I wonder what the, I wonder how they're going to go about reimbursing this, I guess because this time you've got right you've, this time you've got proof. You're not just taking the homeowner's word that somebody stole my package. You've got a, a fedex guy, yeah, and you see the video. Somebody stole it.
Speaker 7:But then you had another good point, when you said people could stage this.
Speaker 1:What if? What if?
Speaker 7:If it was the uncle cousin.
Speaker 1:They said hey, FedEx guy is on his way, why don't you? Sit on the driveway and we'll split it. I'm not saying that's what happened.
Speaker 7:I'll give you an Apple Watch, I'll give you an.
Speaker 1:Apple Watch. But if you're like Amazon, you don't know. You think of all things like was this real, was it staged, and what do you do?
Speaker 7:I don't know. I feel like you're taking a gamble when you grab an Amazon box.
Speaker 1:I think so.
Speaker 7:What could be in there you?
Speaker 1:don't know what's in there.
Speaker 7:You really don't. You have no clue what somebody's ordered. I really don't. You have no clue what somebody's ordered.
Speaker 1:No, this person just got lucky because it's an Apple Watch.
Speaker 7:Yeah, I would get like puppy pads or something Probably.
Speaker 1:If.
Speaker 7:I went to go steal a box yeah, something horrible Maybe something like kitty litter yeah like something from the new Despicable Me 4 movie a fart machine.
Speaker 1:You said the word.
Speaker 7:What it is. That's what it is on the package.
Speaker 1:You can't say the word it's on the package. It's what it is and it's a new gun that they're selling. It's all over the. It's like the hottest toy out there right now.
Speaker 7:So, yeah, I hope my daughter isn't watching or listening, I guess, but she is getting one for her birthday. It is so funny, barry. It has two juices, it has a banana flavor and it has a well smell. Yeah, it's smell. Yeah, one smells like banana, one smells like a toot, a fluff, and then you, you load them into it and it shoots little rings of smoke out, with the smell, with the scent, and you either get the banana scent or you get the fluff scent but it's honestly the they certainly hottest toy going right now it's number one on amazon and when you pull the button it makes a noise and there's a smoke ring to go.
Speaker 7:Yes.
Speaker 1:It's from the new movie Despicable Me, Was it four?
Speaker 7:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And it's the little one of the minions are using it, and when this thing went on sale, I was read this morning it's the hottest toy out there right now.

Speaker 7:Really Seriously. Well, mayor's getting one. And when I asked her what she wanted somebody else to get her for her birthday because one of my friends was like well, what does she want me to?
Speaker 3:get for her birthday.
Speaker 1:She was like I want another one, I want another blaster so Sissy can play with me, oh, so they can just shoot each other.
Speaker 7:Yeah, we're not doing that.
Speaker 1:Dueling toots. Don't do that outside the old toot battle. You better be sure they're outside.
Speaker 7:That's going to stink. It's going to smoke up my house. That is a funny toy. What if I open up my front door and all this smoke just billows out?
Speaker 1:Neighbors what is?

Speaker 7:Well, warner Brothers is developing a sequel to the 1998 film Practical Magic with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. Did you see it?
Speaker 1:I did yeah, it was okay, did you? I don't think it's worthy of a sequel, no, but I guess maybe I'm wrong.

Speaker 1:I've heard reviews that it is excellent Really, and it's almost like a scary. It's a different Star Wars. There's like someone killing I don't know if it's Jedi or who and it's like a mystery type thing. Ooh, I haven't seen it yet, but I want to watch this.
Speaker 7:Oh my gosh. Well, I'm amazed because it gathered 11.1 million views in the first five days.
Speaker 1:That's like two million a day.

Speaker 7:Yes, now they're turning Mickey Mouse into a in the Steamboat Willie version, which is the old black and white when you see at the beginning of some movies. Right, but they're calling him Screamboat.
Speaker 1:Screamboat Willie.
Speaker 7:Screamboat. He's entered the public domain and now they're going to turn him into a villain.
Speaker 1:I don't think they should be allowed to do this.
Speaker 7:They shouldn't.
Speaker 1:No, it's awful.
Speaker 7:This is so terrible.
Speaker 1:But, I'm going to tell you somebody commented on there that they can't wait to see it. As crazy as it is, the Winnie the Pooh movies made money. They made money, they're cheaply made and they made about $10 million. That's crazy. And so people love these things.
Speaker 7:You think people just want to see it because it's out of the norm.
Speaker 1:It is because it's weird, yeah, so this one, you got Screamboat Willie.
Speaker 7:Screamboat.
Speaker 1:Willie Screamboat, mickey Mouse, that would be a killer. Awful yeah, at 6.54. Barry.
Speaker 5:And Holly On Alabama's Country, Giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:You put something up earlier. We're talking about driving through Some of the drive-thrus. You know I don't mind if you ask me to pull forward, if it's going to be not too long. I had one a few days ago. Took like 15 minutes.
Speaker 7:No.
Speaker 1:To me that's a little long because you've got to think of all the things in there that you have to maybe cook. What takes 15 minutes, when it's usually just fast food, because most of them are done in a matter of seconds or minutes.
Speaker 7:I mean the pro. There's pros and cons. The pro is that you're going to get fresh food True. The con is it takes forever.
Speaker 1:Sometimes it feels like the longer you sit there it's like a one minute seems like 10 minutes.
Speaker 7:It does, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Because you're sitting there you've already paid, so you've got to wait on your food. You can't leave, yeah. So we ask everybody what are your thoughts on?
Speaker 7:Yeah, what are your thoughts?
Speaker 1:My thought was, if somebody's asked to pull forward, it's going to take longer than you expect. I think they should throw a little something extra in the bag, like maybe some french fries, yeah. Or maybe like a Taco Bell we went to, maybe some of the cinnamon twists, something a little extra. That's great customer service to me. That would make me want to come back again If I'm sitting there for 15 minutes and I get nothing other than here's your food.
Speaker 7:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Throws the bag at me. Have a good day. Which has happened before, like hey, sorry I had to wait here. Bye, see you. But, like Jennifer, maybe it's going to be fresh. What are your thoughts about pulling forward? Amy says I pull forward and wait, no big deal.
Speaker 7:Most times I don't care, amy, you have more patience than we have she does?
Speaker 1:Tina Hasson says maybe it'll be hot.
Speaker 7:I agree with you.
Speaker 1:I agree.
Speaker 7:And then here we go. This one says why there is no one in front of me. I only ordered two meals. It's not like I ordered 50. Mad face emoji Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm. Marsha Stevens says I really don't like it, I'll pull up, but I really don't want to and it feels like they forgot about you. I've had that happen before. I really did, Because I sit there and sit there and there was nobody behind me. So I pulled back around and they honestly said oh, we forgot.
Speaker 4:Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:Then I'm going to forget to come back by here ever again, I know. I know, yeah, brenda Berry says I don't mind waiting five minutes, but if I wait 15, I'm not a happy camper and won't be back. I agree.
Speaker 7:I agree, Brenda. That's my thoughts on it.
Speaker 1:So that's some good comments. Leave your comments if you'd like to.
Speaker 7:Yeah, just let us know how you feel.
Speaker 1:What you're thinking, and I want to congratulate Alex Gerard, our listener of the day. Thank you, alex. Thank you for listening.
Speaker 7:Oh, she just commented on something.
Speaker 1:Did she? Okay, yeah, literally just now. On Friday's drawing, all of our five daily winners are going to be qualified to win the weekly prize of four tickets to the Tennessee Aquarium, also to the IMAX Theater and the Creative Discovery Museum, and to be a listener today. It's simple you can qualify just by listening to our podcast, which will be up on our Facebook page, on our website, on Apple, on Spotify, around 9, 30, 10 o'clock. It'll be this show we're doing now that's going to be cut down, with no commercials, no music, just talking. Tell us something you like, something you appreciated, and then that'll qualify you for a random drawing tomorrow for the next Listener of the. Day, that's right.
Speaker 1:So, thank you very much, and now are you ready for the big quote of the day? Love the quote of the day. Uh, we try to find some that's either funny, interesting, uh inspiring, uh motivational, and this one comes from steve jobs. I thought this was perfect because apple's having their big like the three-day announcement in california of all the new apple products coming out, which I think what I heard yesterday was the big one's going to be. What, like AI, artificial intelligence You're going to now be able to talk to, is it Siri?
Speaker 7:Yeah, it's like hey, Siri, check my mom's location.
Speaker 1:And you can now get her to send you a certain emoji. You need to unlock your iPhone.
Speaker 7:No, no, no, not you.
Speaker 1:You just opened yours. I did, I did, I just opened mine and she just went back to sleep. Okay, so what is the quote of the day?
Speaker 7:Okay. The quote of the day is I've looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself if today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I'm about to do today? And whenever the answer has been no for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Speaker 1:That's some Steve Jobs. Yes, and I agree. Yeah, I'm lucky I think you consider yourself lucky the job we have. I don't think I've sometimes had bad days, but I've never once kind of thinking have I got to go do this? I've never really had that thought. I look forward to coming in.
Speaker 7:Yeah, I do too. I get so excited, sometimes at night, that I can't sleep. Get so excited sometimes at night that I can't sleep. I'm running through my head what I want to talk about the next day, or what we've gone over that we're going to talk about, or ideas we have bouncing around. I love what I do. I love what I do. I'm so passionate about it and the biggest thing is that we get to help people mentally and physically help people, and so I love what we do. I love working at WQSB.
Speaker 1:My thought is, if you get up and you do have a job that you really don't enjoy and like Steve Jobs said, and it's been going on for days and days and days maybe look around, Try to find something different. Find something that you enjoy, because we don't live here that long if you think about the big picture. Find something you enjoy doing and try your best to pursue that and make it part of your life. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 7:Maybe time for a change.
Speaker 1:Absolutely, it's 715.

Speaker 7:Oh man. So I love pool days, but I get kind of cold the last couple times I've gone.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because the water is still not quite there yet, it hasn't been warm enough yet, but I think this weekend is going to heat it back up. Now, if you're going to be out today, I think we need some close If you're going to be out by the pool today. So sunny and 83. So what do you think? It's been kind of like you've been out by the pool with the daughters the past week, so is it?
Speaker 7:I'm going to vote. This is a pool day.
Speaker 1:Pool day, this is a pool day. Yeah, you're going to see a lot of sunshine, a lot of blue skies. Yeah, I say, a lot of sunscreen will be needed today.
Speaker 7:Yeah, but low 80s right.
Speaker 1:So it's not too hot. 83, not too bad at all.
Speaker 7:And it's the last tolerable day, probably the coolest thing you'll see.
Speaker 4:the rest of the week.
Speaker 1:Tomorrow the humidity really comes back 86 tomorrow.
Speaker 7:So yeah, if you're, I'm going to the pool.
Speaker 4:Are you?
Speaker 7:Okay, I am. I'm going to come in tomorrow and I'm going to look like a bronze goddess.
Speaker 1:You look like a red lobster. No.
Speaker 7:I'm going to put sunscreen on and lots of it. But here's the thing I'm so excited my parents have a pool. I live in a tiny house, I'm with you, but my kids love the pool. Yeah, and that's all they're going to want to do all weekend. Sure, I need sunscreen tips.
Speaker 5:Like I need.
Speaker 7:they'll get out and let me put it on. Yeah, but I am so scared that they are going to fry. Yeah.
Speaker 4:And.
Speaker 7:I'm going to miss a spot, and so I just keep lathering it on them and I have the cream. I wipe them down with the cream and then I spray the sunscreen.
Speaker 1:You can't put too much. No, you really can't.
Speaker 7:No, it scares me to death because you can get really sick from a sunburn.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, You've got to be careful with sunburns.
Speaker 7:Have you ever had a really bad sunburn? Oh, absolutely.
Speaker 1:Oh man get some relief, yeah, get some relief.
Speaker 7:I know, and there's nothing you can do. No, it hurts for your skin or for your shirt to touch you.
Speaker 1:Oh yes, it hurts to shower, yep.
Speaker 7:Everything just hurts.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so just be careful. It's going to be a beautiful day, though. Get outside and enjoy.
Speaker 5:Get in my belly.
Speaker 1:Fine. How about some orange juice, if you like orange juice? I love orange juice. I don't drink it enough. I wish I had more of it, but the prices could be going up. The reason is, they say, due to citrus greening disease. I'm not sure what that is due to crops in Brazil having a bad year last year. They say that 24% fewer oranges than usual were brought in to make the orange juice, and they say that trees in Florida have been damaged by the same diseases and that's why you may see an increase in the prices of orange juice up to at least 20% or more this year in the grocery stores, of course, we will, of course.
Speaker 7:Yeah, what has?
Speaker 1:not gone up in the grocery stores.
Speaker 7:I don't know. I'm, you know, single mom over here. I go to the grocery store every Friday. I can't afford it. I cannot afford to buy groceries for my family. Sos, find the white flag. Somebody help. Groceries are too expensive.
Speaker 1:So now orange juice is the next one that's going to be going up in price, and that's something that I have to live without.
Speaker 7:You know what I mean? Sure, I have to make choices, and I'm just not going to get the orange juice.
Speaker 1:So what else? What about Papa John's is bringing back one of their popular pizzas?
Speaker 7:Yes, papa John's is bringing back the cheesy burger pizza. I've never had this. Uh-huh, it has burger sauce. I'm not sure what that is, but it says it has burger sauce. What is?
Speaker 1:burger sauce.
Speaker 7:I just told you I don't know.
Speaker 4:Okay.
Speaker 7:I don't know Beef, tomato pickle and real cheese made from mozzarella. It's available now for Popper Rewards members and to fans nationwide on June 13th.
Speaker 1:I'm confused. Now Burger sauce.
Speaker 7:I don't know, hey Siri, what is burger sauce? She don't know. She says she may know. Burger sauce is a mayonnaise-based sauce that is mixed with ketchup, mustard and pickle relish. This is from your home of basic I told you she'd know.
Speaker 1:Ah, so there is such. I didn't realize there was such a thing.
Speaker 7:I told you, she knows everything.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think she asked Alexa, to be honest.
Speaker 7:You think so? She don't know, she can. Yeah, I just sound smarter what? You just like it, because she says your name LA in British accent. Yeah, good morning, bg. Your alarm is set for 3 am, thank you. Yeah, kfc just released new tropical passion fruit drinks and you can get these. Let's see. Well, it doesn't say when, does it?
Speaker 1:Hopefully now. I guess, Hopefully now. Yeah, Maybe now you now.
Speaker 7:There's a tropical passion fruit lemonade, or, if mixed with starry Mountain Dew, sweet lightning or their iced tea, regular or sweet.
Speaker 1:So why is the passion fruit like the big? Go-to drink A lot of restaurants are featuring that in their drinks. Now what's the big deal about passion fruit?
Speaker 7:I don't know, but if you're really thirsty you can get it in a KFC bucket and bring it home.
Speaker 1:Look at the bucket. This is a good idea it is a good idea.
Speaker 7:It's a drink cup. It's not their actual chicken bucket.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like a bucket that keeps your drinks cool. Yeah, like a little mini cooler. Yeah, I don't know. That is a good idea.
Speaker 7:I would probably try the Starry.
Speaker 1:Starry's pretty good.
Speaker 7:Yeah, I like story. I think that would be pretty good. Story's not bad at all.
Speaker 1:We'll have to give it a shot there, All right. 728.
Speaker 5:Mornings with Barry and Hall here on Alabama's country giant WQSB. Come on, man.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the morning's come on man story. We had a story, was it about two weeks ago, about the whales.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:How they claim that they can talk to each other. Some of the sounds they make is them actually having a conversation, which I still think is crazy. But now researchers from Colorado State University have discovered that elephants can give each other names and they feel, when they're making their noises you know their elephant noises they're actually calling the other elephants by their name. That's part of what they're doing.
Speaker 1:How do they know? They analyzed hundreds of elephant calls from national reserves and found that the animals assigned unique sounds to themselves to address certain individuals, that they make unique sounds when they're near different elephants, hmm, hmm, so they feel that they're actually calling the other elephants by their names. Okay, what do you think? You think that's possible, or is?
Speaker 7:it totally stupid. Hold on, let me try, let me try yeah. How about no?
Speaker 1:I didn't see any elephants show up by the window, so apparently it doesn't work.
Speaker 7:Does that sound like one?
Speaker 1:That's not Barry, I did. If I was an elephant, I'd say huh.
Speaker 7:That's what we used to do. It sounds like a horse, though how do you do an elephant?
Speaker 1:I don't know that's better, that's closer, I don't know. Yeah, go ahead. Okay, so what names do you think so they give each other names? Do you think they have names like we do, or is it like other weird things? Do you have what names you think elephants have for each other, like Trunks McGee. Trunks McGee. Yeah, I could say Peanut or Chub, or Chub, what's up, chub, what's?
Speaker 7:up Chub. Yeah, going to the circus later. Yep Dumbo.
Speaker 1:Yeah, dumbo Peanut.
Speaker 7:Peanut's a good one.
Speaker 1:I can say what I'm calling a peanut. I could say peanut.
Speaker 7:Peanut.
Speaker 1:Trunkie, trunkie, trunkie, mcgillicuddy yeah.
Speaker 7:Yeah, but what if in all reality it was like Walter Rachel?
Speaker 1:Carl.
Speaker 7:Have y'all seen herbert anywhere?
Speaker 1:carl got any extra nuts on you. I could use a snack right about now, carl come here, clarence.
Speaker 7:Yeah, hey, you're about old pete.
Speaker 1:He got sent off to the circus. Yeah, he's got three kids at home.
Speaker 7:That's crazy.
Speaker 1:That's stupid.
Speaker 7:Yeah, it is. Why did the elephant bring a suitcase to the zoo? I?
Speaker 1:don't know why.
Speaker 7:Why do you hate my jokes?
Speaker 1:Because these are so bad. They're always so bad.
Speaker 7:Because he wanted to pack his trunk.
Speaker 1:Okay, I'm guessing you have two more? Yeah, okay, give me another one.
Speaker 7:Why did the elephant paint it? Oh no, that one's stupid. How do you know if there's an elephant in your refrigerator?
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 7:Footprints in the butter? What Crickets? I agree, I agree, how about no, okay, one more.
Speaker 1:It better be a good one.
Speaker 7:All right. Why do elephants never use computers?
Speaker 1:I don't know, Because they're afraid of the mouse. That's good. That's the matter at 740.
Speaker 5:Mary and Holly on Alabama's Country, Giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:Rachel has returned. Good morning Rachel.
Speaker 4:Hey, good morning.
Speaker 1:You look confused over there.
Speaker 4:Is everything okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was kind of looking at this microphone, oh yeah it's dirty, isn't it?
Speaker 4:Yeah, I know it might not really be dirty, but it looks dirty.
Speaker 1:So what do we do? Who's in charge of microphone cleaning?
Speaker 7:I think you can take that off somehow, but I don't know how. Mike told me you can take Mike told me, mike did say that.
Speaker 1:That'd be a good job for Mike from 9 until 2 today.
Speaker 7:Scrubbing it with the toothbrush, scrubbing that microphone.
Speaker 1:Yeah, with bleach. Yeah well, Rachel's in here. That means we have knowledge nuggets, holly's knowledge nuggets. These are things you need to know, whether you know it or not. What have you got for the world today?
Speaker 7:So a study says that the fax machine will completely disappear within the next 10 years.
Speaker 4:As far as I'm concerned, it's already gone. I agree, I don't know the last thing I've faxed. I don't, I don't remember I don't in my adulthood.
Speaker 7:I don't know of any time that I've ever faxed anything really yeah, ever, ever.
Speaker 4:I think doctor's offices and places like that still require faxed they communicate through fax. Yeah.
Speaker 1:So within 10 years I'm with Rachel. I say probably 5 or less 5 or less.
Speaker 7:Yeah, 34% of people say one word answers is the rudest thing you can do while texting. Oh, I cannot stand to get it Like repetitive K K K. Oh, no, don't K me.
Speaker 1:What about O-K, like an O and a K.
Speaker 7:Well see, that's okay to me.
Speaker 1:What about an O-K-A-Y, is that better?
Speaker 7:Yeah, that's better. But if you're just like what do you want for dinner? Don't know, Like what do you want for dinner? Don't know what about Burger King, Don't know what about McDonald's, Don't know, Like when you're texting back and forth how's your day? Fine, Like what's going on. Is anything exciting happening?
Speaker 4:No, that's hard to have a conversation.
Speaker 7:Yes, it's hard to have a conversation. It makes you not want to continue on with that conversation and that was with an adult.
Speaker 1:I wasn't even with a kid With an adult.
Speaker 7:yeah no, my kids don't shut up, they don't stop.
Speaker 1:Kids give you more than that.
Speaker 7:Yeah, they do. They'll tell you why they don't want McDonald's and why they want something else.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So what do y'all think? I think it's rude.
Speaker 4:Yeah, me too. I don't like one-word answers either. No, but the whole okay thing. Yeah, don't kay me, just okay. Yeah, it doesn't have to be spelled out, but just okay.
Speaker 1:If you're busy I get it, but maybe minutes later, when you're not as busy, then take time to reply to the text.
Speaker 7:I might put that up on Facebook. Does the text response K get under your skin? I think.
Speaker 3:I've done that. It Text response K getting under your skin. I think I've done that. It does mine. I'm curious it makes me furious.
Speaker 7:Okay, when it comes to your toddler, the average number of minutes a tantrum lasts is three.
Speaker 1:Three. That's a joke. If you're in a restaurant, it seems like an hour.
Speaker 7:I know right. I have never had a three-minute tantrum. We are usually dragging out 15, 20-minute tantrums and then they talk and then they have more tantrum and then spanking, and then more tantrum and then another spanking, and then me crying in the corner.
Speaker 4:And giving up White flag.
Speaker 7:White flag yeah, I beat my kids. If I ever have to pop them, I do that. I'm like do you do that, rachel? Well, I used to.
Speaker 4:Yeah, they're too old now. Too old now to pop, I guess.
Speaker 7:Yeah, they've aged out. They've aged out of the popping age, but when they were little, did you pop them? Yes, did you feel bad Sometimes? Oh, I see, I feel so bad I almost can't do it.
Speaker 4:I just had to make sure when I was popping them or spanking them, I wasn't doing it out of anger. Yes, because I caught myself one time I was so mad and frustrated and irritated and you know I took it out on them and it really wasn't their fault.
Speaker 7:Yeah, yeah, thanks for being vulnerable. I think that's every parent in the world and I don't think that that makes you a bad parent. I think it makes you human. We can only take so much, and even when it's our offspring, the one thing we love the most in the world, they can still they can still need a pop, yeah.
Speaker 1:Let me ask you this In the South, is having a fit the same as having a tantrum?
Speaker 4:Oh, yeah, yes.
Speaker 1:Because, my kids would have a fit, is that?
Speaker 7:the same thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you heard them say oh, that kid's over there having a fit.
Speaker 7:See, I say pitching a fit.
Speaker 1:Pitching a fit, yeah, pitching a fit.
Speaker 7:You're not going to sit over there and pitch a fit.
Speaker 1:Pitch a fit.
Speaker 7:Uh-uh, that's what I say. Where did that come from I?
Speaker 1:don't know.
Speaker 7:Stop pitching, a fit.
Speaker 1:Does Siri know what that one is?
Speaker 7:What would I Siri what is pitching? A fit, oh, hey, siri, what is pitching, oh.
Speaker 1:You just turned mine on. Mine says it's a pitcher in baseball.
Speaker 7:What is pitching a fit? The phrasal verb pitching a fit means to become angry, enraged or upset. Yeah same thing, yeah. Yeah. What's yours reading?
Speaker 1:Plays baseball. It's a picture of baseball.
Speaker 4:Your Siri's listening to her voice?
Speaker 1:It is, and responding to her Siri. They're talking to each other. Mine says I don't know. Let me call Alexa, Her Siri's communicating. Let me ask Alexa and see if she knows. I don't know my.
Speaker 7:Siri, just told your Siri K.
Speaker 1:Exactly Now they're mad at each other. It's 7.57.
Speaker 5:WQS Mornings with Barry and.
Speaker 1:Holly. Before we move on, I'm getting some messages on the phone about the Siri conversation Everybody Gary Chumley says my Siri just answered as well, driving in my car. And then Buddy Andy White said Andy says Holly just activated my Siri. I wonder how many more it happened to you.
Speaker 7:Let me see, let me see that text.
Speaker 1:It happened to Andy also and it did to me too. Andy and Gary, my phone went off and it was talking to Holly's phone. Yeah, our Siri was talking to each other. That is funny.
Speaker 7:It's amazing how sensitive these things are. I know I don't want to say it again, but I wonder how many I set off.
Speaker 1:I used to think it was like it had to be your voice on your phone. I did too.
Speaker 7:That's what I thought. Nope, because there's no way that I should be setting off men's phone. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 7:We've had a couple girls that have commented you set my Siri off.
Speaker 1:You think it would take a male voice?
Speaker 7:Yeah, you think it would take a male voice, but no, my phone. Right across from you, it went off whenever you were talking, you were saying hey Siri, hey, blank.
Speaker 1:Oh, that just went off again. Sorry about that. But yeah, sorry about that, we'll quit saying hey Siri, hey Siri. Here's Matt Stell on QSB, qsb, matt, still breaking in boots 803 with Barry and Holly, and you're getting more comments about the Siri problem we have.
Speaker 7:Yeah, I accidentally set everybody off. I didn't mean to. We do it all the time.
Speaker 1:Andy and Gary both said theirs went off and I'm confused because it used to. When we first, these things were like, say, alexa, at home, I've got the Alexa Echo Dot, I have to say and it's to my voice, yeah, yeah, yeah, echo dot. I have to say and it's to my voice, yeah, yeah, somebody else walks in, it ignores them. But now I'm curious on there why siri is now recognizing people.
Speaker 7:That's not like yeah, this is my phone. Yeah but your voice is activating my phone yeah, I don't know I know you got more messages I did, yeah, and jessica boyd, I put up a post and I said what do you think of k as a response in a text? Yeah, just to get a poll. And people are commenting. I'll tell you what they said. But Jessica Drain said Holly set my Siri off this morning. My car picked it up as well and was looking up burger sauce, burger sauce.
Speaker 1:We're sorry. We don't mean to set yours off, but we didn't realize they were that sensitive. No, Because I'm with you. I thought like if it's your phone, you would think it would take a female voice to turn yours on.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And for me, but apparently it turns. This is so sensitive now that anybody who says blank Siri, it's like you have to say hey first, or can you?
Speaker 7:just say Siri, no, you have to say hey first, so sorry about that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, sorry about that, but Sorry about that.
Speaker 7:Yeah, sorry about that, but let me tell you about some of these responses we've gotten for the word K. What do you think?
Speaker 1:What's your thoughts? I don't like to see especially. Okay is fine, if you're in, I get it. You're in a hurry? Okay is good, I'll take that. It'll bother me, but just the letter K, come on. You're so busy you can't type three more letters.
Speaker 7:Right Allison says I'm done talking at that point. Yeah. And Jessica Drain says they're too lazy to text.
Speaker 1:Yep, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 7:Kathy Elliott says I do that to my grandson and he always replies with potassium.
Speaker 4:Potassium yeah.
Speaker 7:Because that's the element. Gotcha, that's cute, that's funny, that's cute, laura says. I laugh about it. I know a lot of people who hate their response and the thumbs up yes, thumbs up is another one. It's just a thumbs up. Oh, that's such a slap in the face.
Speaker 1:Just because you changed the color of the thumb doesn't mean that's any better. No, it's a thumb. It's a thumb.
Speaker 7:No. Mitchell Morgan says when my wife replies Kay, I don't come home. Oh wow, he knows what that means. Oh gotcha.
Speaker 1:Not good Crazy but true.
Speaker 7:Crazy, but true.
Speaker 1:Crazy but true. Crazy but true. North Carolina restaurant.
Speaker 3:Now you've worked in restaurants for a lot.

Speaker 1:I think he's a great dog. Oh yeah, I've met Doug. How about this dog? This dog went above and beyond. The guy's name is Brandon. Brandon has his dog, blue, to thank for saving his life. He accidentally drove off in a bank month last week and it was about 75 feet down and it fell into some trees. If you're going down the road you would never see the guy's truck down there. The dog got out and he was with some friends camping about four miles up the road. The dog ran back to where the campsite was, four miles.
Speaker 1:No way how the dog knew how to get back there. I don't know, but the dog ran back to where his friends were and began barking and they knew something was wrong, oh my gosh. So they got in the vehicle and the dog was able to let them know where to look and they found the guy.
Speaker 7:They found the guy that is so smart.
Speaker 1:That is amazing. That is amazing. The dog ran four miles to find somebody.
Speaker 7:Oh my gosh. So I'm like you. I don't know how he would come back. I guess by scent, Because I don't know how he would come back.
Speaker 1:I guess by scent, because he alerted him that something was wrong. The dog was going crazy. It was barking, barking, barking. So they got him in the truck and they kind of saw the direction he came running from and went back that direction and they thought, okay, something must have happened to Brandon, because he's not back yet. That's his dog. So they began looking and they were able to find him and get to him in time and rescue him and he's okay, his dog saved his life. Saved his life. Wow, that's like something you see out of a movie I gotta tell doug about this.
