Please welcome your hosts. Barry, the guy with the rubber glove was surprisingly gentle.

Speaker 1:

Because once you get, inside my head there's no turning back baby and Holly and somebody get me some coffee.

Speaker 7:

That's a disturbing mental image.

Speaker 1:

Let's do this Good morning at 608. No stopping us. It's a Wednesday. Might as well finish the week. Oh yeah, we made it halfway through.

Speaker 5:

Hey, today is a good day.

Speaker 1:

Yes, today is going to be a little bit warmer. A little warmer Now. You hit the pool yesterday.

Speaker 5:

I hit it for a couple hours. I had some home repairs to do first. And then I went to Lowe's. Did you know that they cut your wood for you?

Speaker 1:

I did not know that.

Speaker 5:

I didn't know that until yesterday. I told him because I was freaking out, because I was having to do this and I needed 19 inches of a board. Cut Gotcha, I needed 19 inches of a board cut Gotcha. And I was so scared because I was like I don't have a saw, I don't know what I'm going to do, yeah, but the guy was so awesome, he was walking by. He saw that look on my face Like I have no idea.

Speaker 1:

Normal look, yeah, yeah. You should see me in it, it's the usual day yeah. No, it's not, but all these are too long. He's like we've got them. Then he said she tries to impress. Then he walked off. Yeah, no, as far as the pool weather, it was a nice day. It wasn't too, humid. Yesterday it was a nice day.

Speaker 5:

It was.

Speaker 1:

Hope you enjoyed it, loved it. Starting today, we turn the other direction. A little more humid this afternoon 86. Tomorrow, that's when the heat is really moving in. Tomorrow you're going to hit at least 90 to 92. And then Saturday or the Friday, saturday and Sunday low to mid-90s all the way through the weekend. They're taking the rain out of the forecast for Sunday. Oh really, for Father's Day there's no chance of rain.

Speaker 5:

Oh, that's good, it's going to be hot. Yeah, well, that's not good.

Speaker 1:

The thing is Don't make Dad get out there and grill his own food Sunday, because it's going to be hot.

Speaker 5:

Why Moms have to parent. Moms have to still change diapers and make bottles.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, well, at least one day off.

Speaker 5:

But then most dads oh, what about Mama?

Speaker 1:

What if she had Mother's?

Speaker 5:

Day, maybe one day off, if she had Mother's Day. I'm telling you there ain't a mama in this world that got to stop changing diapers.

Speaker 1:

No, you can't, just because it's Mother's Day.

Speaker 5:

No, so I think Dad needs to get out there and grill.

Speaker 1:

Well, okay.

Speaker 5:

Get out there and grill Daddy.

Speaker 1:

Well, they will anyway, because most of them will say get away from my grill. Yes, they will. Speaking of that, starting Monday we'll have a brand new contest we're giving away a brand new grill. Yes, it's a grills gone wild contest.

Speaker 5:

Grills gone wild. Love, love it. This is funny. Yeah, I have to be careful because the slip of the tongue is real easy with that, yeah, it's grills, not girls, but grills.

Speaker 1:

Grills have a brand new grill. We're going to give it away and the content is going to be so much fun.

Speaker 5:

You're going to get to see a video that we filmed, or, I guess, two weeks ago, before my arm surgery yeah when I had two good arms when he had two arms before he went, one winged, yeah, before I had the had the surgery.

Speaker 1:

But we're taking off of the vacation, the original vacation movie, where they travel to Wally World and they stop by Cousin Eddie's house and he's grilling lunch for them. And we recreated that scene, the famous grilling scene, and that's going to be important because that's how you're going to be able to win a brand-new grill. That's right, you need to go back and find that scene.

Speaker 1:

We'll put the scene up and oh yeah, we'll see yeah we'll give you more details coming up, but that starts monday, but at the meantime, yes, it's gonna be a beautiful day today, partly sunny 86. Uh, no chance of brandon. How about wolf stock? Uh, 2024, this is huge man absolutely, we had another big day. You know, it's like every day. We say, well, today may be the day we don't get a lot of dog food, but yesterday and then they just show up. Showed up at 2,000 pounds in one pop.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, there's 40 bags. That took a while. Yes, it did.

Speaker 1:

We have a picture of how much 2,000 pounds looks like on our Facebook page.

Speaker 5:

Yes, we put it on our Facebook page. That was from Fife Crossville and Boaz Car Wash. Thank you so much. Thank you so much to them.

Speaker 1:

So thank you for that. And whether you bring in that much or one bag of dog food, hey, thank you, because it all goes to Second Chance Shelter in Boaz and the new official total is 12,468 pounds of dog food we've collected for Second Chance Shelter and our goal this year we're kind of splitting the difference between year one and year two and the difference between about 22,000 pounds. Hey, we're at 12,400. We're only at June 12th. We're not even halfway down the month. We're doing it until the end of June.

Speaker 5:

We're not even halfway through the month and the Marshall County Wrangler site in Mimbanan. You know they're going to bring a couple thousand.

Speaker 1:

So if you have a group and you want to get together to make this your fundraiser of the month, do so, because the more dog food we collect and give to Second Chance, the more money they get to save and use for other repairs and other veterinarian bills and things to help take care of those beautiful dogs at Second Chance Shelter.

Speaker 5:

That's right.

Speaker 1:

It's a win-win for everybody and if you bring 30 pounds or more, you get a brand-new, beautiful, one-of-a-kind which they are one-of-a-kind Well, I don't say one-of-a-kind, but this is the only year you can get these.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, these are stock shirts.

Speaker 1:

We change logos every year, but a thank you to Dixie Designs and Boaz and you get a Woodstock T bag for less than $30. It's not bad.

Speaker 5:

No, it's not bad. It's a good deal and that's helping the dogs and it's helping the shelter, and it's helping our community.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we love our dogs, so help us out. Bring it by any time during business hours and you can be part of this going all the way through June 30th.

Speaker 4:

How do?

Speaker 1:

you know, I just know June 12th, halfway through the week. What's going on today?

Speaker 5:

Today is National Peanut Butter Cookie Day, do you like that?

Speaker 1:

You gave me one the other day. You brought one that your mother had made Yep Delicious.

Speaker 5:

I know, I don't know how she does it.

Speaker 1:

You say you don't know how she does it, because you said she doesn't cook.

Speaker 5:

It's 1% peanut, 99% butter.

Speaker 1:

Oh, oh, I thought butter.

Speaker 5:

Oh, oh, that's just gonna say love.

Speaker 1:

No butter, 99 butter. Yeah, no wonder I had a clogged artery alert yeah, you did.

Speaker 5:

You get an alert yeah, did you get flagged yeah, I did alert alert you.

Speaker 1:

Like peanut butter cookies the homemade?

Speaker 5:

yeah, I do, I ate one. I was asleep, I was taking a nap when she was making them, because she's making them with my nine-year-old. Yeah, and I ate one, like with my eyes closed. Yeah, and it was so good. It was like such a. It was warm, fresh out of the oven. Yes, the peanut butter cookie is the second most popular flavor of homemade cookies. What's number one? Chocolate chip.

Speaker 1:

Gotcha Can't beat that. I bet sugar cookie is probably number three.

Speaker 5:

Probably Because mother used to make sugar cookies. Those are gross, though I don't like them, I like peanut butter. Rap legend and reality TV star Flavor Flav is doing all he can to help one of his favorite restaurants, Red Lobster, from bankruptcy. Flav has just started a new commercial for the seafood chain in order to help promote their upcoming crab fest have you heard the commercial?

Speaker 1:

no, let me hear it, let me find it for you. Okay, turn this. And this is the actual red lobster commercial with flavor flame yeah, boy.

Speaker 6:

When the internet said red lobster's going away, boy, flavor flame said not today. Crab fest is here, boy. And they got two flavors, just like me. Flavor flavor we got roasted garlic and new Cajun butter, getting the most bonafide comeback yet the comeback. You'll be coming back for. It's Crab Fest at Red Lobster. Boy, when you gotta have seafood, you gotta have Red Lobster.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, okay, here's my question. When they were trying to say, okay, how can we save the company we're going under, how can we need a spokesperson to come in, and they said, well, what about Taylor Swift? No, no, we need somebody else. I don't know, maybe the Rock. No, how about Flavor Flap? He's available. Yeah, he'll pay us. All we've got to do is give them free biscuits.

Speaker 5:

I think that that commercial is true. I think that he saw on the internet that Red Lobster is going bankrupt and that he was like I'm going to save it. He has ordered the and this is a true story. He has gone to the restaurant and ordered the menu, the entire menu, twice in the last few weeks.

Speaker 1:

That's a lot of money.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, that's a lot of money, because one meal to me's a lot of money. Yeah, that's a lot of money.

Speaker 1:

I wonder how much that would be, because one meal to me is a lot of money.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, it's like 20 bucks a person.

Speaker 1:

So there will be crab fest going on. So my thinking is if anybody knows crabs, it's Flavor, Flav.

Speaker 5:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

I've seen the show. He knows crabs. Yeah, he does he likes seafood yeah.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, he's trying to get rid of them, but they just keep coming back.

Speaker 1:

He loves them, he does, they just keep finding them. So in their midlife he says ah, got to go with flavor or flame.

Speaker 5:

Crab fest, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Crabby crab.

Speaker 5:

Oh, that's his new catchphrase Okay, so anyway.

Speaker 1:

that's what's weird.

Speaker 5:

That's a yesterday that said laughter is the best medicine. Yeah, that's true. So obviously that guy has never had diarrhea.

Speaker 1:

That does not get rid of it, does it?

Speaker 5:

You gotta have medicine for that.

Speaker 1:

Yes, you do, it's 616.

Speaker 4:

On Alabama's Country Giant WQSB. Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy. But true, we were talking yesterday about the word WQSB, crazy, crazy.

Speaker 1:

Crazy, crazy, crazy, but true. Well, it's crazy, but true. We were talking yesterday about the word okay. Does it bother you when somebody sends you a one-word text, the O-K-A-Y or just the letter K, and many say they don't like to get the letter K? But then another story came out this morning saying that the Internet is now divided over another word. They're saying there's another word worse than that, it's the word sure, s-u-r-e. Now some people say sure as meaning yes and not as a sarcastic or lackluster word Sociolinguist I guess you go to school for this. She says sure can be seen as indecisive and the divide might be generational. She says women might also expect more explicit enthusiasm than men. So it may, this word may bother women more than it does men when somebody replies to your text and says sure it bothers me because I'm like, hey, do you want taco bell for dinner?

Speaker 5:

And then you'll get sure that could be sure.

Speaker 1:

Like I'm excited. Sure, that is a great idea. Oh that is awesome, or sure, whatever. I'd rather go lick a tree stump, but whatever, Sure See I'm with you, or, oh, this one, are you upset with me?

Speaker 5:

Are you mad at me? Sure.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 5:

Or is everything okay. That's the tough one.

Speaker 1:

Okay, do you forgive me, is everything okay?

Speaker 5:

Yeah, do you forgive me?

Speaker 1:

Sure, sure, that means you don't know. You're like right there thinking I'm probably going to get a pillow put over my head tonight, or I'm going to sleep in the dog house, I don't know, or she may cook me dinner. I don't know which way to take this.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, like imagine. I mean, imagine you've been with somebody like lots of years, yeah, and you know them inside and out.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 5:

I don't feel like you ever know how to decode, sure, it don't matter how how well you know that person, especially in a text. Yeah, out, I'm like, I'm looking at you right now I can kind of tell what you're sure means. You can read my face kind of, and my body language and my you know how I, my tone, yeah, but, and on text message, you take it however you like in your mind take it. I don't know. I think sure might be worse than k yeah, that's what they're saying.

Speaker 1:

That's like the new word that's making people mad that they're getting a text back or saying the word sure.

Speaker 5:

The absolute worst thing you can do is send the thumbs up emoji.

Speaker 1:

Ooh I hate that.

Speaker 5:

What about?

Speaker 1:

a sure and a thumbs up. What does that tell you?

Speaker 5:

Man, I'm all kinds of messed up. My brain is all over the world trying to figure out what that means. I don't know. That's when you screenshot it and you send it to all your friends and you say what does this mean? So you got to call the crew in the group, you got the round table. You got to have a round table discussion.

Speaker 1:

You're meeting down at Jack's at the round table discussing the word.

Speaker 5:

sure, this morning We've all got our cups of coffee and our gravy biscuits, meeting at the round table saying, alright guys. He texted back, sure, with a thumbs up, what do we think? And then he passed it around the table.

Speaker 1:

It's tough Guys. I messed up, I forgot to give her a birthday present. I said I'm sorry, do you forgive me? And she said, sure, where do you think I stand? My advice would be I'd probably get a lawyer, because probably the papers will be filed soon and it's not going to end well. You're probably going to get everything that you got. You should probably even get custody of your round table, your friends, oh, no, you don't get to lose the friends too, if you have a good lawyer, they can get your everything.

Speaker 1:

They can get the round table and the friends and take it away from you.

Speaker 5:

There would be nothing worse than getting a round table taken away from you. I mean you go into. Where else are you supposed to talk?

Speaker 1:

I mean you go into Wendy's and there's your friends with her over there Just laughing and carrying on and just looking at you and eating a double biscuit and gravy.

Speaker 5:

Sure yeah.

Speaker 1:

See, that's what it leads to. See, that's why you need to give them a better answer than sure why you need to give them a better answer than sure.

Speaker 4:

Okay, that's even worse.

Speaker 1:

Sure 629 wqsb mornings with barry and holly, a little bit warmer, 86 with no chance of rain. We have controversy, joey chestnut. Joey chestnut, he's best known for the hot dog eating contest champion since, well, since 2015. Yeah, he's won, I think, every year, but once, and that was when I forget what happened. It was COVID, I don't know, but something. Anyway, he's not going to be in this year's competition. What? Yeah, joey Chestnut will not. The reason is, here's the reason why he signed a contract with Impossible Foods. That's a brand that sells meat substitutes.

Speaker 1:

Ew and according to the rules in the MLE, that's Major.

Speaker 5:

League Eating.

Speaker 1:

there's really such a thing, oh my God, yeah, he's like the top dog in this, or the top hot dog in this. He signed a contract with Impossible Foods so therefore he cannot be in the hot dog eating contest because they're considered real meat. I guess you could call it real meat. I don't know what's in there, but they're not Impossible Foods, so he can't be in it. They're saying no, they're trying to find some kind of loophole to get him in there, but he wins every year, every year. But now he can't because of that contract he signed with these other guys.

Speaker 5:

Oh, this is scandalous yeah.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I hope he made enough money off this contract because that means there's a lot of contests. He can no longer enter in the MLE Because, like hot dog, whatever other contest he's won that's got meat involved he can't enter.

Speaker 5:

What does impossible? I mean, I know it's meat.

Speaker 1:

It's like a vegan type, like organic stuff. There's no meat at all in there.

Speaker 5:

But where's the non-compete?

Speaker 1:

According to MLE, it's in there. The rules are that you have to eat the hot dogs, and he no longer can eat the hot dogs because he's now signed a contract with Impossible Foods.

Speaker 5:

That he's only going a contract with impossible foods that he's only gonna eat?

Speaker 1:

he can only eat foods imitation meat imitation made no more real meat a hot dog is real meat well, according to you, yeah, it is no, don't no, don't run it for everybody here, because no, I'm not I know what you're saying. I know exactly what you're saying but in my mind, when I sit down, it's like probably the purest meat ever made. Okay, not on demand, you're right. You're right, even though I know in the back of my mind that it's probably got 14 different animals involved in this.

Speaker 5:

No, no, no, don't say that, don't say that.

Speaker 1:

But still it's Oscar Mayer, hot dog perfection.

Speaker 5:

I know, but there's like 99 cent corn dog days at Sonic that I usually hit up, yes, up, so don't ruin them?

Speaker 1:

for me I'm not, but have you ever watched one of these hot dog eating competitions?

Speaker 5:

Every year.

Speaker 1:

That may be one of the most disgusting things I've ever watched.

Speaker 5:

So they have this whole platter in front of them, they have cups and they're getting just handfuls of hot dogs dunking them in the water.

Speaker 1:

The key is they're in the bun.

Speaker 5:

You have to eat the hot dog and the bun.

Speaker 1:

But how do you choke that down so fast?

Speaker 5:

It's like they don't even chew.

Speaker 1:

No, somewhere along the way they figured out that the bun would take forever. You must get the bun and you must dip it in the water and then that way it becomes soggy. Then you can just ram it in your mouth and that way you can eat the buns and hot dogs faster. If you can eat the buns and hot dogs faster, if you were just eating the whole thing, you probably couldn't get maybe 10, 11, or 12 in the what is it? 10 minutes. I give them, yeah, but by doing it this way he gets like 60, 70-something in this 10 minutes. Yeah, it's amazing. And by the time the 10 minutes up, you've got bread, you've got hot dogs and one of the rules is you have to keep it down for like so many minutes after the competition ends.

Speaker 5:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

It can't come back up.

Speaker 5:

Can you imagine practicing this at home? No, can you imagine funding practicing this at home? Hot dogs are expensive. Yeah, like hot dogs and buns. It can be when you're buying 70 at a time.

Speaker 1:

How would you practice without getting sick to death of them?

Speaker 5:

You would get sick to death of them.

Speaker 1:

But how much?

Speaker 5:

do they win?

Speaker 1:

It's like the belt, I forget Like $10,000. It's a good bit of money, sure, but it's mainly for the honor of winning this one, because it's televised on ESPN.

Speaker 5:

I'm not doing that for $10,000. No, it's got to be more than that. We'll look it up in a minute and see how much you win for this, but it's not a large amount. Because there's an amount of money that I would try to eat a hot dog fast, but it'd have to be a really hot number.

Speaker 1:

Let me ask you this one how long do you think it takes him after this competition on July 4th that he wants another hot dog? How many days or weeks has he said I'm good, I don't want one, no more hot dogs for me, I'm okay.

Speaker 5:

What if all his friends ever do is cook hot dogs? Well, how long would it take?

Speaker 1:

you. Do you think, if you ate 70 hot dogs in one sitting, how much time would it take for you finally craving one?

Speaker 5:

70 years. One hot dog per year.

Speaker 1:

Seven years? Yeah, before you'd want another one. Yeah, if I see one more wiener I am going to just throw up. There's no way, I'm serious. I mean, you eat 70-something in one sitting. Look at the record. Pull up Joey Chestnut it's like 70. He holds the most. Hey, siri.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, siri, how many hot dogs.

Speaker 6:

Did Joey Chestnut eat? Joey Chestnut ate 63 hot dogs and buns.

Speaker 1:

Wow, that's not the record. He had a bigger record. Ask him what the record was hey Siri.

Speaker 5:

What's the hot dog eating record?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, it's 70-something 75. 75. I think it's like 10 minutes 10 minutes.

Speaker 5:

it is yeah, and it's held by Joey Chestnut in 2020. See In July 4, 2020.

Speaker 1:

That's like 7.5 hot dogs a minute Beating his previous record of 74. Unreal.

Speaker 5:

So he ate one more extra during the pandemic.

Speaker 1:

But he won't be competing this year. So now all the runners up, who? There's never been anybody really close to him, I think one person beat him.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, there is One person beat him the Japanese guy.

Speaker 1:

No, he still. He's got some kind of contract with a Kobayashi.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, Kobayashi.

Speaker 1:

Kobayashi, wienerhead, whatever his name is, I don't know, but anyway, he's never really. He's in like another league, so they can't compete against each other.

Speaker 5:

I never knew that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's why you never see them in competition together anymore. Oh okay, he's in a different league. I don't know what it is, but anyway it's scandalous. I'm surprised.

Speaker 5:

Nathan's like I don't know. I know we're wrapping this story up, but I'm surprised. Nathan's like let this go. I'm surprised they didn't be like okay, we see Impossible Foods. Yeah, we see this number, we'll pay this.

Speaker 1:

We'll pay you this to be in our contest.

Speaker 5:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Because people watch, tune in to watch him in this contest.

Speaker 5:

Speaker 5:

Yeah, there's a million of them, but he's going to play the main villain in the first season, joining Holly Hunter, who's been cast as a series Starfleet captain and chancellor.

Speaker 1:

I still love the original, though, with Captain Kirk, even when they turned to, I think, chris Pine.

Speaker 5:

He was a good Captain Kirk, even when they turned to, I think, chris Pine.

Speaker 1:

So we thought we would do something new because you were at the pool with the girls yeah, we thought you know, people need to know what to expect if they're going to be going making it a pool day today absolutely so you thought of something yeah and well, you may play the music here we have even a little intro music here. I love the music yeah, it's time for your, your kind of cannonball pool party forecast if you're going to be outside at the pool with the kids or whoever.

Speaker 5:

You got to know what to expect weather-wise right that's right, and we're going to be measuring this in cannonballs. Okay, so out of roughly one out of five. One out of five cannonballs. You want five cannonballs? Five out of five cannonballs is the best. That means that there is no clouds, all sun, yeah. But you guys have to keep in mind that we literally can't control the weather. We're just giving you the best forecast we can. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

We're going to go by the clouds, the sun, the heat, humidity, what to expect today and the UV index Perfect day will be kind of like one day a couple of days ago when it was like low 80s, low humidity. That was a pretty about a 5 out of 5.

Speaker 5:

That was 5 out of 5 cannonballs.

Speaker 1:

So today, what kind of cannonball forecast we got today?

Speaker 5:

I'm going to give it a 4 today because there's going to be some cloud coverage, yeah, but it's still a day for sunscreen, so definitely put that on. You are going to burn up and stay cool, if you can. Those of you working outside be sure to hydrate, and thank you for all you do.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, four out of five today and good stuff, and it's time for the quote of the day. Great response on some of the quotes we've been, uh, giving you. We look for something that's inspiring, inspirational, makes you feel good, makes you maybe smile, makes you laugh, makes you think. So what's the quote of the day today?

Speaker 5:

it says, our triumphs seem hollow unless we have friends to share them, and our failures are made bearable by their understanding.

Speaker 1:

I can agree with this and I'll tell you exactly why. Okay, I was lucky enough. It's been a few years ago at the Abbey Awards. It was one of the biggest nights I've had. Won three Whoa. And just like no one even noticed Aw, you didn't won three. And just like no one even noticed oh not, that was not anybody to share it with. When I had nobody to share it with, it's like, okay, it's not, it was great to win, but you like this. Like you just said, they're a triumph you don't have any.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you don't have anybody to share it with it makes us like, okay, I just go home and put them on the table and that's not funny, but it's things like that. Sometimes it's great when you have somebody. If they do something that's like get an award or do something it's great to walk up and say, hey, man, that was awesome what you did.

Speaker 1:

I know Let people know when you find out somebody has maybe achieved something, done something that means something to them, whether it's like an award like this, or maybe they get a chip you know for 30, 60, 90 days, let them know, but you've done something awesome and that is fantastic.

Speaker 5:

Yes, absolutely, and I think about this with my friends I have been at. I've had really high highs and I've had really low lows and I have had my friends there with me through them all and I just have a few. I only have like a handful of friends that I completely trust, but anytime something good happens, I go to them. Anytime something bad happens, I go to them. I need friendship. So friendship is important. Isolation is of the devil. Find you a friend, Find you a buddy, Find you somebody that you can talk to and confide in. Even if you don't like people, you can still like one.

Speaker 1:

They're like there's one person you're going to like out there, be a good friend. Be a good friend, yeah, one that can be inspiring and can lift somebody up. It doesn't take a whole lot of work to tell somebody that they did a great job and brag on them.

Speaker 5:

That's right.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it can mean the world to them, trust me. Yeah, all right. 7.14.

Speaker 4:

WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly.

Speaker 1:

Drew finally has him a top 20 song. He's been trying for a couple of years. That song. I love that song. It makes you think that could be maybe even a wedding song when you play at a wedding. Yeah.

Speaker 5:

Maybe a lot of goes. She's somebody's daughter.

Speaker 1:

Whoa hey, speaking of your singing, oh, you're going to be singing later on this morning Because we have a contest coming up after 830. We're giving away tickets to the Rock the Dock, courtesy of SoCo Roofing and Restoration, coming to Guntersville. It's going to be a big event with Corey Smith in concert and we have VIP tickets. Yes, we do. How many? Two?

Speaker 5:

Oh, we're going to give them away, they're $150 each.

Speaker 1:

Yes, so $300 value. You are correct, wow, so that's coming up and coming up in about 20-25 minutes. We have tickets to Chattanooga to the Aquarium. That'd be fun too. First, give us a voting update, Because you put up a question on Facebook, Because we talked about this morning that there's yesterday. First of all we talked about texting somebody K the letter, K or OK, it bothers, it makes people upset Some people it bothers. But there's another word that came out this morning. People say, well, this word bothers me more than K or OK.

Speaker 5:

It's the word, sure, but not with our listening audience.

Speaker 1:

So you put up a question asking of these three responses. Which of these three are the worst? Is it the word sure, or the letter K, or the thumbs up emoji, and you're voting on this.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, we're voting on these.

Speaker 1:

How's the voting going?

Speaker 5:

Sure is at 10%, the letter K is at 64% and the thumbs up is at 26%.

Speaker 1:

So people just hate the letter K as a response.

Speaker 5:

People hate that, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Of those three, which did you vote for?

Speaker 5:

I voted for the thumb.

Speaker 1:

Thumb yeah.

Speaker 5:

That's a slap in the face to me. Don't thumbs up me.

Speaker 1:

If you're that busy.

Speaker 5:

But my daddy does it. He doesn't do it to be a smart aleck, but that's what smart aleck people do. So when there has been times where I've gotten into arguments with, let's say, an ex and they send the thumb, Like you type out this big long novel and you're like this is all the things you were doing wrong. You did not put up your socks or put it in the laundry. Keep the milk lid on. Quit keeping it off, Quit drinking out of the carton.

Speaker 1:

You blasted him and all he gets is a thumbs up.

Speaker 5:

All he gets is a thumbs up.

Speaker 1:

That's the worst, I get it.

Speaker 5:

But sure Kay would be bad too.

Speaker 1:

So be sure and vote. It's on her Facebook page.

Speaker 6:

Get your cave would be bad too. Yeah, so be sure and vote. It's on our Facebook page. Get in my belly.

Speaker 1:

Come on and while you're on Facebook, check out our food stories of the day. There's a lot of them. Mountain Dew has some more flavors. They have flavors like every week, I think, between them and Oreo. I don't know who has more new flavors, I know, or Doritos, but Mountain Dew has some new summer flavors. It's basically red, white and blue Yep Bottles. They look good.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

They say they're getting ready for the summer Limited edition is called the Mountain Dew Red, white and Blue. It's three new limited time drinks. The Mountain Dew Star Spangled Splash comes with the perfect combination of berry flavors, making it a dazzling red color. So you get the red one. That's that. If you get the Mountain Dew Freedom Fusion, it's the white color and it's a refreshing lemonade, white peach flavor. Lemonade, white peach Gross, no, no. Then the last one is the blue. It's the Mountain Dew Liberty Chill. It's a blend of 50 flavors 50? Whoa. It gives it a blue hue and a berry taste. It tells me they got every single drink in all of their pots in the back and just made one drink out of it. Kind of like you do when you're kids, when you pour your Kool-Aid in with your tea and with your Dr Pepper to make you a drink. Say, this is so good here, mom, I'll take a sip.

Speaker 5:

Those are called kamikazes. You don't ever do that. You age out of that. At age eight you can't do that anymore.

Speaker 1:

Apparently not. Mountain Dew's done it with a new blue one. So if you say the Liberty Chill, that's what you're getting. Yeah, so what else I?

Speaker 5:

like that. Well, 7-Eleven and Drumstick collab on a new Slurpee comb.

Speaker 1:

So, speaking of blue, this is very blue it is very blue.

Speaker 5:

It's the best of both worlds. With Drumstick and 7-Eleven, they're bringing them a great summer treat. For the first time ever, the legendary Slurpee is now available in ice cream form and by way of the new drumstick Slurpee cone.

Speaker 1:

I love Slurpees.

Speaker 5:

They're going to have a smooth vanilla ice cream, a crispy cone and the iconic chocolatey nugget at the base. You know. Right right and then a hint of 7-Eleven Slurpee with a light blue raspberry flavor, blue rice sauce, ripples and candy bits.

Speaker 1:

These look good.

Speaker 5:

Sounds good.

Speaker 1:

We just don't have many 7-Elevens in the area, though.

Speaker 5:

No, we don't.

Speaker 1:

We need one.

Speaker 5:

But let me tell you we just got a fall post and I felt my soul come alive a little bit. What I felt revived.

Speaker 1:

Cinnamon Toast Kit Kats.

Speaker 1:

A new flavor.

Speaker 5:

They're coming out around Halloween because they have the Ghost Toast. Yeah, they're called Ghost Toast and the flavor itself is a Kit Kat with a cinnamon toast taste.

Speaker 4:

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

Speaker 1:

Come on man story Mention. There's a tie-in with this. With Albertville, a California state water company, they've responded to an ever-growing rash of people stealing fire hydrants. What In Los Angeles they're now putting shields, locked shields, to cover the bolt on the hydrants to stop thieves. They're not sure what's going on here, why this has started, but they're now having a rash of thefts of fire hydrants all around Los Angeles, which, of course, a lot of these I'm guessing probably most were made probably here in Aberdeen.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, I bet a lot of them were. Anytime that I have been out of state and seen a fire hydrant I send it back to my parents that it says albertville it says.

Speaker 1:

Two of them two happened last week in the same neighborhood. The neighbors never even had a clue and they think it happened in the daytime. They didn't notice anybody out there but said that somehow. Why would you steal a fire hydrant in the first place?

Speaker 5:

I don't know. You're not going to use it as a coffee table. No, you're not going to use it as an extra large paperweight. You're not going to use it to do bicep curls.

Speaker 1:

I know you love your dogs, but they can pee on something else.

Speaker 5:

They can pee on the bushes Tree Tree.

Speaker 1:

Yes, Mm-hmm, the bushes yes Tree. Yeah, yes, I don't know, man, but that's going to be. These things are heavy too. Yeah, it probably wasn't one person doing it.

Speaker 5:

I've also I've never heard of it referred to as an ever-growing rash of fire hydrant thefts.

Speaker 1:

That's a problem. Yeah yeah, it's just taken off Oof. I mean, where would you go to buy one of these stolen fire hydrants? I don't know, who do you call?

Speaker 5:

Why are so many people stealing them? Is it a thing I?

Speaker 1:

don't know, it is now Los Angeles are having problems. They're having to put locks on them to keep people from stealing them. People in Los Angeles, man I mean, you got a guy on the street corner with the trucks and hey, hey. I got you trucks got some fire hydrants.

Speaker 5:

You want some yellow or red.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, or some yellow and the blue, yeah, or we can paint it, we can paint it.

Speaker 5:

Whatever you need, whatever color you want, whatever color you want, I got the fire hydrants in the back.

Speaker 1:

No, I just need some weed. Sorry, all I got is fire hydrants.

Speaker 5:

No, I just need some weed. Wait a minute, I don't want your fire hydrants.

Speaker 1:

Get away from me, you weirdo. It's 7.39.

Speaker 5:

I have like three iPads yeah Wow. One MacBook that I use at my office, one computer and my phone. I sold my watch because I never used it. I hated getting all the notifications.

Speaker 1:

People were disappointed this week. They had their big announcement, like Monday and Tuesday, expecting them to say, oh, the new phones are coming out, the new nope. It was mainly about the new technology, about the AI type stuff that they were making changes to. That was it. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5:

The next one 42% of us turn on a nightlight before bed. That's a lot of people.

Speaker 1:

I need it to be completely dark.

Speaker 5:

I do too. I need like pitch black darkness. I can't see my hand in front of my face.

Speaker 1:

Because sometimes a little bit of a light can just wake me up. I don't know what it is, it's disturbed. I have to have complete darkness.

Speaker 5:

Do you sleep with a fan on?

Speaker 1:

Yes, I have to have a fan on Some kind of sound, whether it's like a fan or like ocean sounds, white noise, Rain yeah, I have to have something.

One in five people admit to changing the direction of the toilet paper. Oof, this is me In someone else's bathroom?

Speaker 1:

No, in somebody else's bathroom.

Speaker 5:

I've got to tell you a story.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 5:

There's somebody here at the station that puts the toilet paper on the wrong way.

Speaker 1:

Oh no.

Speaker 5:

And I don't know which monster it is.

Speaker 1:

Okay, what do you consider the right way?

Speaker 5:

The right way is where it folds over. Comes over the top it comes over the top the wrong way is under Ah. Mm-hmm. So somebody here in the women's restroom? We have a men's room and we have a women's room. Yeah, someone. I don't know what y'all are doing over there in the men's.

Speaker 1:

Well, we don't care. Okay, Most of them rarely even use it. Oh God, I know.

Speaker 5:

The bathroom or the toilet, oh God. But somebody and only psychopaths do that. Really I don't know, I know, I'm just worried about her a little bit whoever it is, who do you think it is?

Speaker 1:

Who? Sabrina no.

Speaker 5:

I didn't say Sabrina. Oh my God.

Speaker 1:

I'm sorry, I was trying to read your lips.

Speaker 5:

There's only two of us in here that are women.

Speaker 1:

Well then, there's Rachel.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, maybe it's Rachel.

Speaker 1:

Maybe it's Mrs C Rachel, no.

Speaker 5:

It's okay if it's Mrs C. That's how the toilet paper goes.

Speaker 1:

I think she has people for that. Yeah, they follow her.

Speaker 5:

They follow her and flip the toilet paper. The wiper oh.

Speaker 1:

The wiper, wiper, wiper. Okay, I'll get fired now. Yeah, I know my time is coming.

Speaker 5:

I had nothing to do with this. Keep me on All right, it's 7.54.

Speaker 4:

Wqsb Mornings with Barry and Holly.

Speaker 1:

James Trey being the athlete here, according to, I'll tell you, holly, I think that sporting event hot dogs seem to have some of the best taste.

Speaker 7:

They just hit different I think it's how they cook it. Maybe, I don't know, they just taste better.

Speaker 1:

It's just a different hit If you go to Alabama game or Auburn, and like Jacksonville State, when we go to the tournament I would say the Braves too.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, the Braves.

Speaker 1:

You get real close here, they'll also be in here. We'll be spanking that thing. Can you hear me?

Speaker 5:

now Spanking that honey.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but what do you think? You've been to all kinds of sporting events, but it's like Braves. There's something about the hot dogs at these. Sporting events are better. They're way better.

Speaker 7:

I mean you can't beat a high school hot dog, but to me it's got to be the Braves or Alabama. Any college game is good too, but to me the Braves got to go. That's probably the best one.

Speaker 1:

Well, that leads me into this story. It came out this morning and you can see it on our Facebook page. This is the headline. I'm reading the headlines Don't get mad at me, okay. The Texas Rangers baseball team, according to the headline, have the biggest winners in Major baseball. Barry, everything's bigger in Texas. That's the size of a bat. The Boomstick Hot Dog is 24 inches long, making it the biggest hot dog in all of baseball stadiums nationwide. That is a big wiener. Yeah, the Orioles come in second place with their 12-inch yard dog. Then the smallest wiener of all is the Gator Chili Dog in Miami Marlins Park. It's only six inches long.

Speaker 5:

If anybody is wondering why I have no input on this, I had a five-minute conversation with Barry all fair and he told me I could have no comments. So I am having no comments to this story.

Speaker 1:

I'm just reading the headline.

Speaker 7:

That's too much. Man 24, are they like eating that? From first inning to ninth inning they have to be. It's like a group, because there's some places that have they have like the nine and nine. You get nine beers, nine hot dogs and like something else.

Speaker 1:

Man, how do you get home? Between the bathroom and trying to drive home, you got a busy night.

Speaker 7:

I'm not a beer guy, so I'd immediately be out on that. What?

Speaker 1:

is your opinion. Holly, no comment. I've had a Braves hot dog and the Braves have good hot dogs.

Speaker 5:

He won't let me speak on it. He won't let me speak on it.

Speaker 1:

It's the biggest wiener, I've ever seen. No, no comment, it's the biggest wiener I've ever seen.

Speaker 7:

Yeah, it was the Texas.

Speaker 1:

Rangers.

Speaker 5:

Thank you, I know.

Speaker 7:

The.

Speaker 1:

Texas Rangers yeah.

Speaker 7:

Everything's bigger than Texas. It is.

Speaker 1:

Thanks, Trey. It's 8-11. Mornings with.

Speaker 4:

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

Speaker 1:

Mornings crime story. We talked earlier about people stealing the fire hydrants in Los Angeles. Well, here's another fire hydrant story. Have you seen the video of this? Show me the power of a fire hydrant A car, let's see. The car is in Orange County, california. It ran off the road hit a fire hydrant, pretty much was on top of it. It knocked the fire hydrant off and the power, the water pressure is so strong when the fireman pulled up, the rear end of the car is up in the air because the pressure from the fire hydrant is keeping the car suspended. Whoa, and that's how much pressure they've got. So it took. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. They thought wait a minute, here is there something going on? But some kind of people playing a trick with us. But no, uh, the person, the people got out of the car, they were fine, but the fire hydrant shows you the pressure of this thing. It's got the car suspended up in the air.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, okay, so here's my question.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 5:

The people that stole the fire hydrant. Did this happen to them when they stole them?

Speaker 1:

Might have been Did water just go gushing. It might have been yeah, because when you steal the fire hydrant, how are you going to turn it off?

Speaker 5:

turn it off. You can't.

Speaker 1:

The city has to do that Makes you wonder how about that car?

Speaker 5:

Imagine being in that car when the fire hydrant and water begin gushing up and pushing you in the air, I'd be scared to death. Exactly. You've got to come down at some point.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, oof scary, but they say nobody was hurt though, but you can see the video. It's on our Facebook page. Morning Trivia had this one a couple of days. We your chance to win a free pizza buffet to Barone's Pizza and Arcade. There's one on George Wallace Drive in Gadsden, another one Galt Avenue North in Fort Payne. 48% of us have six of these in our house, but only four of these work. Now you say you have three. I think I have four, but of the four, only one works, and there's a reason why you have to buy something to make this thing work, and this thing doesn't have the other things in it. So what is it? On average, most of us have six in the house. Only four of the six work, though. So what is it? If you think you know, be the first caller to throw the right answer 878-8000-1800-233-1051.

Speaker 4:

Mary and Holly on Alabama's Country, Giant WQSB.

Speaker 1:

ATCU and Justin's RV and Repair. Thank you for sponsoring the podcast.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, thank you so much.

Speaker 1:

And before we hit the road, it's time again for the quote of the day. I want to see you be bright. Love the quote of the day. This is something maybe to if you're having a tough time, maybe something to make you just think about things that maybe are more important, that you haven't thought about in a while, to inspire you, maybe to make you smile. This one is a good one. Yeah, it's dealing with friends and how important friends are to you.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, it says our triumphs seem hollow unless we have friends to share them, and our failures are made bearable by their understanding.

Speaker 1:

That's so true.

Speaker 5:

That is yeah, by their understanding. That's so true. That is yeah. It's so important to have just one or two friends that you can really lean on and trust, because there's times when you can't just do it by yourself.

Speaker 1:

And it's not just the ones who are there for you during the good times.

Speaker 5:
