Speaker 2:Oh, okay, good one.
Speaker 1:I'm just trying to give you the good news here, okay. Outside yesterday I considered walking for a little bit and I thought, nope, I said no.
Speaker 2:I also said big old nope as to what, and you know what. I was driving through town and saw men working outside with long sleeve shirts on and cargo pants Right and steel toe boots. How are they surviving?
Speaker 1:I've been told, once you dress like that to begin the day, your body gets used to it. Then you're okay. It's whatever you start your day off with. If you start off with shorts and a t-shirt, you better not put on clothes a lot of clothes later. But if you start off in that layer, your body gets accustomed to it.
Speaker 2:Really.
Speaker 1:That's what I've always been told. I've never done that, because I don't go outside with a lot of clothes on.
Speaker 3:Well, I don't mean I'm not there. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Not in the yard naked Whoa I don't mean I don't put on the long sleeves.
Speaker 1:I put on at least a t-shirt or shorts or something like that, or do you live again?
Speaker 2:so I know not to go by the air.
Speaker 1:It's a nudist colony down by the lake. Oh yeah, I've heard about you guys. We Seriously 96 will be the high Huntsville. Some areas are going to hit 99 to 100 today and it's going to feel like 105 to 110. It's going to be so humid 105? 105.1. Yeah, I can't whistle or I'm not cool, but then tomorrow it's going to be even hotter, with finally a decent chance of rain Now by tomorrow night. I know it's not much, but 40% is the most we've had a chance of rain for in days.
Speaker 2:I'm going to tell you, my flowers and pumpkins need rain. They need rain so bad they are frying up. My daughter got me a flower for Mother's Day. Oh no, I know what happened. It's been blooming Every time she comes home. She's like Mama's another bud there's. She's learned about the buds. Oh well, I walk outside yesterday. The whole thing is wilted. You killed dead. Yes, it is dead. What are you gonna tell her? I don't, I'm just gonna toss it and hope she doesn't notice.
Speaker 1:I'm just gonna hope she doesn't notice, can replace can replace it.
Speaker 2:I mean, I could what kind?
Speaker 1:Is it a special flower or just a flower?
Speaker 2:The bad thing is that it came from school so it was probably just like a wildflower, but I don't know. It was growing, it was doing good.
Speaker 1:It was thriving, and then it got too hot. Just get another one, and if it's a different color, say fine, it turned yellow.
Speaker 2:How'd you pick yellow? How'd you know I was going to pick yellow? It turned into a cactus. Hey, there's Bill, I know, I know, but I'm going to get him in a minute and I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1:You're hung up on these words?
Speaker 2:Yes, I am, it's coming up.
Speaker 1:We'll be prepared for a 20-minute discussion on dogs and feet and Panky.
Speaker 1:But anyway, if you're going to be outside today, be careful. 96 strength of liquids, extremely humid today, no chance of rain, other things going on. Had a chance to go out and visit our good friends at Second Chance Shelter in Bull Ass and I tell you I admire them so much more because it was hot out there. Those dogs, these dogs need to be adopted. You got some beautiful dogs that just would love to go home and just have a family yes, they do such a good job of keeping them watered though I saw all the I saw them keeping them cold and watered and they're trying to keep them in the shade.
Speaker 2:They do such a good job of taking care of those dogs.
Speaker 1:So thank you, doug and wanda and theresa for having us out. You can see a video of some of the dogs. We did a little facebook live yesterday, so check out the video and if you're really considering adopting a dog, I would suggest go for one of the older dogs bigger dogs, because they've been there for a while. You know that they're just wanting to go home with somebody and, like they say, most people come in and want a small, younger dog. Yeah, get the older ones.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and Doug and I had talked about it's a real thing Shelter dogs. They know when they've been rescued they do, and they are so thankful and grateful and loyal and just make the best dogs they do. So go out there, take a look and let me throw this out there real quick. Barry, for the rest of the month, so until the rest of the month. Was that Friday, saturday?
Speaker 1:Friday roughly Friday at 5 o'clock is the deadline to bring the dog food back.

Speaker 2:Okay, on this date, in 1630, so just a few years ago the fork was developed to American dining. The fork, yeah, the fork, oh, okay, it was developed by Governor Winthrop. I don't know why his name's important.
Speaker 1:I have no idea.
Speaker 2:But anyway, Governor Winthrop developed the fork. Can you imagine being the guy that started that movement?
Speaker 1:The fork.
Speaker 2:Look at this thing and you're like, what is this? And you're like watch.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Watch what thing? And you're like, what is this? And you're like watch, yeah, watch what I can do.
Speaker 1:You can lift food with it and put it in your mouth. That around this time it started the popular catchphrase it's about fork and tom.
Speaker 2:I wonder where that phrase come from. Yeah, and it also makes you wonder, like, how did everybody eat spaghetti before this invention? I have no idea, I know.
Speaker 1:Wow, how.
Speaker 2:You know, that's a great thought.
Speaker 1:With their hands. What did you use before the fork? I don't know, couldn't use a spoon.
Speaker 2:It was 1630s. I don't know. You use your hands.
Speaker 1:I guess. So I don't know. That was a mess, I don't know. Yeah, that's a.
Speaker 2:And here's something you need to know which country do you think eats the most instant noodles?
Speaker 1:Probably America, because we eat a lot of ramen noodles here in the US. We do.
Speaker 2:But according to the World Instant Noodles Association, Wait a minute. Yes, there's an association, world Instant Noodle Association.
Speaker 1:The W-I-N-A. The Wiener Wiener, not to be confused with the Wiener Gotcha. The wiener Wiener, not to be confused with the wiener.
Speaker 2:No Gotcha. Okay. China and Hong Kong. I'm like a 12-year-old boy. He's a wiener. China and Hong Kong ate 42.2 billion billion, with a B servings in 2023.
Speaker 1:I didn't think about that, but you're okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, hong Kong, china and Indonesia ate 14.5 billion helpings. Wow, and Americans only had 5.1 billion servings.
Speaker 1:I would have thought it would have been higher. Uh-uh, especially with the college kids.
Speaker 2:I know. Compare that China and Hong Kong ate 42 billion. America ate 5 billion.
Speaker 1:They ate eight times more noodles than we do.
Speaker 2:That's crazy, isn't it? Yeah, your daughter Reagan's a noodle eater. She loves them, she loves them, she loves them, she likes the soup too.
Speaker 1:She had to get a whole new inside because she ate so many hot ones.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she broke her gallbladder.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she broke it because she ate too many hot noodles.
Speaker 2:Because she loves the hot noodles. You said she likes the Diablo fire.
Speaker 1:Oh my goodness, when you go to the store and you see those in the bowls they've got all these flavors. She looks for the one that's the hottest, yeah, no way, then she don't understand later why she has indigestion. Oh no, reagan, I said well, that's a mystery to me too. I have no idea I have no idea what is that from? It's from saturday night live, oh yeah oh yeah yeah, yeah, I remember, I remember, I love that jason said that cousin will forte and Will Fortale I have no idea.
Speaker 2:That's a good one. Here's something to think about. A friend of mine told me that her boyfriend asked her what she was looking for in a relationship.
Speaker 1:You know what she said.
Speaker 2:That's what she's saying A way out. It wasn't the right answer.
Speaker 1:A way out.
Speaker 2:She was looking for a way out. Oh, he was crushed and if you knew him you wouldn't blame her.
Speaker 1:No, she crushed him at 618.
Speaker 3:Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's country giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:It's a hot Tuesday, barry and Holly. Good morning to you. Congratulations to Misty Reagan. Misty is our listener of the day. Yay, misty, way to go, misty Reagan. Misty is our listener of the day. Yay, misty, way to go, misty. And thank you so much for listening. And she commented on our Facebook, and boy, the podcast from yesterday had over 90-something listens which is huge.
Speaker 3:So thank you so much.
Speaker 1:You can find our podcast. It consists of air show cut down after it's over, no commercials, no music, just the the talking part of it, and a lot of yesterday was really where we talked about, uh, waddles, waddles, the goose, and still it amazes me that the outpouring of people that just, uh, it touched them and all we were doing is trying our best to uh find somebody to help waddles, and we still saw a couple people complain, saying that why didn't you just leave it alone? Well, we didn't. Well, next time you get sick, why don't they just leave you alone? Oh, I mean seriously, if we left alone. The vet even said that it was just a matter of time because of the swelling it got so bad, the infection was so bad and it was the humane thing to do yes, was to go ahead and put wattles down because of the suffering, and how much?
Speaker 1:uh well, it would have been awful if it had to just continue living out its weeks, don't know how long. Have no clue, nobody knows.
Speaker 2:So that's why, also, what he had going on in his foot was highly contagious to the other geese.
Speaker 1:Yeah, true.
Speaker 2:And it was also pulling him down and he was starting to drown and not be able to swim.
Speaker 1:Couldn't move around much. The other geese were picking on him so he couldn't eat because they were eating all of his food.
Speaker 2:It was just a really bad situation that we tried to help make better but we couldn't and the inevitable happened. We had even asked the vet, like what if we return Waddles to the lake and just let him live out his life? And that's when the vet said this is the humane thing to do. This duck is in a lot, or goose is in a lot of pain.
Speaker 1:Quality of life would have been horrible.
Speaker 2:Yes oh, no quality.
Speaker 1:Anyway, we found a lady, reached out to you yesterday and mentioned how, because she'd seen wattles for about a year now. Yeah, so we're going to call her, coming up in just a little bit and talk to her about her experiences with Waddles. But we were talking, before we went on the air, about words, and you asked me about a word yesterday and we were talking about words. Well, in our business, words are so important. Without words, we'd have silence, we'd have dead air.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we wouldn't have a job so.
Speaker 1:So you have to have words all the time. You can't have silence, so words are. It's funny because certain parts of the country, some words mean some things, Some words people have never heard of. And you mentioned a word yesterday and I said I've never heard of that word before.
Speaker 2:You said well, that's a southern thing.
Speaker 1:Everybody's knows this word.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, so far this morning you've asked what two other people yeah, and they've never heard it. But you asked your mom and your mom said oh yes, indeed, I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was with you. I called mom on speakerphone yesterday here at work and I was like all right, mom, I threw out the word packy, packy Yep, I threw out the word packy, that the muffins that we were eating. While you're eating them, they feel packy in your mouth or throat.
Speaker 1:And people just went crazy.
Speaker 2:They were like we don't understand, never heard that before I know, but some had, so I'm about to put it up, and this is a new thing we're going to do. It's called grits and grammar. Yeah, so what we're going to do is, I said have you ever heard of the word packy, like something is cakey or dense right but then I'm also asking what other old-fashioned words do you know or use?
Speaker 1:and we're going to go over some of those like maybe words that your family uses, maybe or maybe your friends use, or you use, or you that you've heard growing up that probably are kind of like regional or for this area, uh, that if you go out of the area probably people don't know what you're talking about and they all look at you like you're goofy.
Speaker 2:Like. Another thing was I'm wearing sandals today. I usually wear tennis shoes, yeah, but today I'm wearing sandals. And I came in and I said oh, the dogs are out. And he looked at me like I was crazy.
Speaker 1:I looked out the window what dogs.
Speaker 2:My feet, my dogs. The dogs are out.
Speaker 1:I'd never heard that before.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, barry. Okay, I wonder if I'm going to that one will be for tomorrow, we're not looking for phrases, but like a word. A word yeah.
Speaker 1:Like. Is there another word? Packy? Is there? Like for me, charn. Charn is one my mother used to always say that smells like yarn. The one that we used to say I guess I heard it from a movie was prairie dog, prairie dogging.
Speaker 2:Is that about pooping? Yeah, very.
Speaker 1:Well, you asked for a word, that's a word, that's a bad one, no.
Speaker 2:Yes, come on, think of a clean one.
Speaker 1:I can't my mind's in. That's just a word that we always talk about. I heard it in a movie years ago. Somebody's got to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2:I've heard of that, but I can't believe you've never heard that your dogs You've never heard my dogs are barking. No, that means my feet hurt.
Speaker 1:No, I haven't heard that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, now I will say Russ and Bill had heard. No, bill had not heard. Even Russ had heard. My dogs are barking, but Dave and Bill and you have, never heard this before, Packy, yeah, Okay.

Speaker 2:Uh-huh, the top ten words. And I would just like for you to know that April Tim sent me a Facebook message and she said I've heard the phrase the dogs are out. So, just so you know, April's on my side.

Yep Sources say that Vanna Watt is considering leaving Wheel of Fortune before the end of her contract is up. Yeah, leaving Will of Fortune before the end of her contract is up. Yeah, because she is having trouble adjusting to new host, ryan Seacrest.
Speaker 1:You should have known that was going to happen.
Speaker 2:Well, here's the thing. Okay, I bet he is a diva and she is a diva. Yeah, and they're both diva-ing.
Speaker 1:Diva-ing? Yeah, oh, is that a new word? Yeah, it is a word, yeah, it's a word, grammar divaing. Divaing, it's possible because you know, I mean, uh, c chris, I think, is a good guy but he does a lot of stuff and I bet he may be a, but him and pat say jack.
Speaker 2:Totally different people, I would think so well, pat was probably like, just like you or mine yeah pat was probably vanna's best friend.
Speaker 1:True.
Speaker 2:You're my best friend. We talk about the show stuff. When we go walk, we hang out and talk about stuff.
Speaker 1:All of a sudden, Pat Sajak is gone. Here comes the new guy.
Speaker 2:Yes, and I'm going to be honest If you were to leave tomorrow or today and you brought somebody else in, I would have trouble adjusting. I could see that I can too, and I could see like when Linda left and I came in. Was that not an adjustment?
Speaker 1:Yeah, always when you're used to working with somebody every day. It's going to be an adjustment, no matter what business you're in.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:But especially in your entertainment business, you've got to look like you're having a great time. I was surprised she didn't step down when Pat Sajak stepped down.
Speaker 2:We all said that yeah.
Speaker 1:It's not like she needs the money. I don't know her personal business, but you would think.
Speaker 2:She might need the money, I don't know. She might want a new Gucci bag. I don't know, possibly and needs to work to the end of her two-year contract to get those Christian Louis Vuittons.
Speaker 1:But here's the thing how does she and C Chris not get along? All they do is, when they come out at the beginning of the show, they walk out hand in hand and they say a little pleasantries, hi, have a great show. She goes and stands by the board for 30 minutes. Then when it's over, they maybe have a comment at the very end. They don't really talk that much during the show.
Speaker 2:Are you serious when do they talk? Is this coming from you for real?
Speaker 1:Yeah, we talk for three hours.
Speaker 2:You are the guy that says people think we come in and just talk and we go home.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You've got to know they put in more work than that. They've got to rehearse, they've got to yes.
Speaker 1:How do you rehearse touching a letter and it turns to the letter A?
Speaker 2:You've got to do like show prep, like we do, no, you don't yes you do. Yeah, some sort of it it's like I could do that.
Speaker 1:You walk, you look over and there's a light. You go over there and you touch, oh, that one, I must touch that one, I must touch that one. I don't think there's a lot of show prep.
Speaker 2:I bet there is. I bet there's more than you think.
Speaker 1:I don't think she sits there and studies the words and says ah, okay. No.
Speaker 2:Do you think she knows the words before there? No, I don't think she just touches the box looks over.
Speaker 1:When the light flashes, she runs over there and touches it. But no, I don't.
Speaker 2:They don't talk that much on the show well, they don't like it, she don't like him apparently not, that's it yeah sometimes it happens, yeah, you just don't like them okay, we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1:Yeah, at 655 warnings.

Speaker 4:I am doing wonderful and I love listening to y'all. But I am doing wonderful and I love listening to y'all. But it's been an emotional morning for me because I told Holly I was going to talk about Waddle. Yeah, ever since I've been sitting here thinking about him, he was just the most honest, humble creature. That's how I met him, because I just go along Sunset Drive and feed not Cheerios, it's just the store brand oats to the geese and they flock. And all of a sudden I met him a couple months ago in the flock.
Speaker 4:Here's this one with his foot and he. He was just coming up just like the rest of them. He had no idea that he was crippled and he would. Just he was. He was so humble, what I learned such a lesson from those geese. I only saw him about three times. He stayed on the end closer towards past the rec center, going towards the water bowl that side over there where there was less people. He would be over there, but what I saw compared to other geese out there other geese they'll get to picking at one another, but his flock would protect him and it was. I mean, I learned so much just being around those geese and they were so humbling and he was so sweet and when I saw on Facebook that y'all had gone to take care of him, it just thank y'all for doing that, because he was in such a mess. He could barely waddle around, but he was where he needed to be.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and they had told us that he wasn't going to make it much longer, that we had done the right thing by bringing him in. We had had a couple people say, oh, I totally agree, you agree. Yeah, and we had had a couple people say, oh, I totally agree, you agree.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, I had thought a couple times. I was surprised that when we go back out there, he was still there, right, and I'm going like well, when you're amongst the people that love you, or you're amongst your pack that loves you, they will help you survive and that's what they were doing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, we made Waddle's Pet of the Week and so he's going to be on our billboard and you can see him. Miss Liz, yes, you can see him one last time, and we just thank you so much for taking our call and for loving our animals.
Speaker 4:You are such an advocate for our animals of all kinds. I'll just tell you this right now, because I'm sitting here watching the fox eat the loaf bread out of my yard. They've already come up this morning, but I feel a song coming on for Waddles and when I get it there I'll let you know. Yes, please do, please do. Yes, I will yes.
Speaker 2:Attribute to Waddles.
Speaker 4:Attribute to Waddles. I mean, it's one of those things that's already been written. I just have to find the words for the place that you have to find the words for the place.
Speaker 1:That's right. Well, liz, thank you so much for reaching out to us.

It actually says 80% larger. The packets are larger than before.
Speaker 2:Ooh, they should be.

Speaker 1:In Pennsylvania there's a FedEx driver walking up to the home. The ring doorbell camera shows him setting the packets down, turns around and as he turns around to leave, there are two cars parked in the driveway or not driveway in the road, but next to him watching him, two guys separate cars, jump out, don't realize they're both there for the same thing. They're running to the house to get the package at the same time. Oh my gosh, they've both been following the FedEx driver and they both got there at the same time. They're having a fight in the front yard. One guy pushes the other, one grabs the packets, the other one picks up a flower pot.
Speaker 2:He's going to throw it at him. Wow, oh my gosh. The article says they got into a tussle. I like that. Yes, a tussle.
Speaker 1:They were tussling in the yard of somebody else's house stealing somebody else's package. Now the owner says later, when he looked and saw what happened, he said well, I had ordered cell phones from AT&T and that was his package.
Speaker 2:How do they know? How do they know the good stuff, this guy's wondering.
Speaker 1:He said how did they know that this was good stuff and wasn't something this cheap and stupid? What if it?
Speaker 2:was like a bottle of orange juice or something. You know what I mean. The way these guys are coming out. I'm looking at it on our Facebook page if you want to see it. It's on there, the way that they come out of their vehicles. It's like they know because they've wasted no time for the FedEx driver to move.
Speaker 1:They're both there at the same time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, fighting over this package and the other one grabbed the flower pot.
Speaker 1:Okay, can the guy who lost also get arrested when they find him, because he didn't get anything, but he was trying to.
Speaker 2:I would say attempted, attempted, yeah, I mean he stole the flower pot. Yeah, he got the flower pot, so like home damage, I don't know. We'd have to call dime pledger for some of this.
Speaker 1:I'm curious. Because, I'm wondering if insurance would cover it. Covers it? I don, that's crazy.
Speaker 2:A stolen flower pot.
Speaker 1:This is in the middle of the date. It's not like it's at night, when nobody's around.
Speaker 2:This is broad daylight and they have hoods on. They're wearing all black. They have hoods on.
Speaker 1:One guy does the other one's just wearing clothes like he just come out of the house.
Speaker 2:Oh, I see him, okay, yeah.
Speaker 1:He's been watching Will of Fortune and jumped in the car and going to say this is like he's just wearing normal clothes, yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't. I just don't understand how they know what is in Hold on. I'm showing Rachel, it's okay. So he put the FedEx down. He scanned it. He's walking away. They're getting out of there. Here they come, here they come, meow, and then they start fighting over it. He grabs the flower pot I'm going to get you and he runs after him.
Speaker 1:Give me that package, I'm going to steal that from you.
Speaker 2:And then he chased him. After the guy had already gotten the package, he chased him. Are you going to still fight for this? Does the cell phone mean that much to you?
Speaker 1:Now he's going to steal it from the other guy who just stole it, or tried to anyway. That's so brief. The world's crazy. I don't know, it's 740.

Employee at a McDonald's told police that a naked woman jumped out of a car and threw two bricks through the restaurant's windows before speeding off. This is Indianapolis. The police said that police were called to McDonald's around noon. This is noon. Last Friday reported vandalism, the damage to the restaurant's windows at about $15,000. After throwing the bricks, the suspect reportedly jumped back in the car which drove away from McDonald's. Police did not have a detailed description of the vehicle. They've yet to catch her. All they have is witnesses saying that she was completely nude, jumped out of the car doesn't say if she was driving or riding, shotgun don't know and grabbed two bricks and threw them through the windows.
Speaker 2:Why was she naked?
Speaker 1:I don't know if she spilled McDonald's hot coffee on her and that upset her. I don't know why was she so mad and who carries around two bricks and no clothes.
Speaker 2:Okay, so it says that always. A side note, since we're talking about words here. This says buck naked, buck naked. I thought it was B-U-T-T naked, buck naked. Yeah, I thought that was what that phrase was.
Speaker 1:But this is buck naked. Buck naked, committed in the blinding light of high noon. It's bad enough if you're like it's dark, but it's like broad daylight lunchtime.
Speaker 2:That's what they're saying, that she did this at noon.
Speaker 1:It happened like when there's people everywhere.
Speaker 2:And they can't find her.
Speaker 1:They have a description of the car. They don't have a license plate. They have a description of her. I think more people could give you a description of her than they can the car. That's my thought. They have no clue that she's in a car.
Speaker 2:What color the car is. All the men interviewed were saying yep, she was naked.
Speaker 1:What kind of car is she in? I don't know Car. What, car, what?
Speaker 3:kind of car was she in? And the man said I have no idea.
Speaker 1:What kind of car is a naked woman in? I have no idea Car they should ride in the camel, I'm not sure.
Speaker 2:We saw her escape on foot.
Speaker 1:She just had two big old bricks in her hand and just threw them right through the window.
Speaker 2:Oh man, I mean, you never know when you might need to use a brick. I have no idea. Why is she naked? I have no idea.
Speaker 1:I think she spilled hot coffee on her lap and she was so mad.
Speaker 2:So she said I got these two bricks right here. You know what? I'm going to throw them through the window. I'm going to toss these right through the window and she got out of her car. Let me tell you, there's been times I've taken the girls to school and I'm in my pajamas and I don't want anybody to see me. I don't need anybody to see me. I can't imagine riding around naked and just being like whatever happens, happens that seatbelt's got to hurt mad at McDonald's.
Speaker 2:Think about that hot scene on a day like today. Yeah, that seatbelt's got to hurt Mad at McDonald's. Oh, think about that hot seat on a day like today.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that seatbelt's going to cut into you.

Speaker 2:Yeah, check it out on her.
Speaker 1:Facebook page A couple of animal stories this morning. It's one of the best videos. Actually, it's one video and one picture. The video is a little boy named Russell and his mom noticed that there's a crow that has been hanging around anytime. The little boy would go outside, not trying to hurt him, but it seemed to think of this little boy as his friend. Oh, my God, you've seen the video. Isn't this cute?
Speaker 2:That is so cute.
Speaker 1:It says it even waits on the top of the barn or garage for him to get home from school.
Speaker 2:He hops along as he's doing his little tricycle. He just hops along beside him. It's so cute because the little boy is so little and the crow is so big. It's like it waits on him at the window. Yes, oh my gosh, and they can open the window. It doesn't come inside no he just sits on the windowsill and the little boy just loves him that's not scared the little boy.
Speaker 1:No, the mama says she'll never leave them alone with the crow by, except with the boy. She's always there to monitor. But she said I've never seen anything like it yeah, it's like it knows the little boy loves it and they're best friends, the boy and the crow and it's the same crow, yeah it is that is crazy it's a sweet video oh, I love watching him pet it.
Speaker 1:He's patting his little head the crow doesn't mind at all oh, and they let, they do. Let him come inside, yeah okay, it sits on his food tray, oh my gosh and watches him eat.
Speaker 2:It says. Before I got Russell, I didn't know that crows could be affectionate. I didn't either, so it's an affectionate crow.
Speaker 1:That is a sweet video.
Speaker 2:Oh, my goodness, this is so cute, you've got to see it. Look at the video and the other thing.
Speaker 1:next to it is in North Carolina there's a golf club. It's the Sherwood Forest Golf Club in Brevard, north Carolina. They have llamas that are actually caddies. These llamas have been trained to walk with the golfers and you put your golf bags on the side of the llamas and they walk with you from hole to hole.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, when is this? It's in North Carolina, north Carolina, that's not a long drive.
Speaker 1:They say that they get calls every day wanting to book the llamas. The llamas stay booked every day and they're booked for like months ahead of time. This club has trained 30 llamas to carry the clubs. They say llamas are amazingly trainable and hypoallergenic to boot. So some people if you have problems with certain animals, not the llamas. Plus, they don't pull up the grass when they graze. They have soft toes so they're easy on the fairway, better than golf carts.
Speaker 2:I like that they put so much into making a case on why llamas would make a good golf caddy. That's enough for me.
Speaker 1:That's all you've got to tell me. What kind of noise does a llama make? Any idea?
Speaker 2:Meh.
Speaker 1:I wonder if it could say in llama voice that you suck when you're golfing, when you hit a bad shot in llama.
Speaker 2:I wonder if it goes. Bogey Bogey Eagle.
Speaker 1:Can it say you suck, llama you suck.
Speaker 2:I don't know what llamas sound like. I think that's it. I think you nailed it. I think you really don't know, do you?
Speaker 3:No, no idea. Yeah it's 844. And Holly, on Alabama's Country, giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:And before we go, the morning's quote of the day, try to give you something maybe inspiring, and we get these from all around the places Like this one comes from Jeremy Lin, basketball player, and he says he just made this comment thinking about his team and about how important communication is.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So what is the quote?
Speaker 2:If there's anything I've learned, it's communication. It could be marriage. It could be your family. It could be someone you don't like. It could be marriage. It could be your family. It could be someone you don't like. It could be a co-worker. It doesn't matter. If you don't know how to communicate, things are going to break down and things are going to fail.
Speaker 1:And I will say just one quick negative. In today's world, the younger kids coming up a lot of times we run into them and talk to them. They had rather text or email or message than they had talk talk to you communicate. Communication is so important in so many ways, like getting a job, you need to communicate. Yeah, keeping that job, you got to communicate what was it that we?
Speaker 2:we did some kind of statistic that was like 80 of people in their 20s have not gone inside of a bank. Bank, yeah yeah it was like something crazy, like that. Communication is something that we're losing in reality, but we're keeping on text messages, facebook messages, e-mails.
Speaker 1:That is a form of communication. Yes, it is, but face-to-face communication is so much better. It really is, and this comes from Jeremy Lynn, the basketball player, and he says he got the idea because you must communicate on the basketball floor. You've got five players and all five must communicate to be able to have a chance to win the game.
Speaker 2:That's right.
Speaker 1:So communication, it's big yeah it's 854.
