Speaker 2Did he have any other hits?
Speaker 1This was a big one. Spiral Staircase is the name, but it's Pat Upton who's the guy.
Speaker 4Yeah.
Speaker 1And like a legend around here. Just a super person Passed away years ago, but man, that was a big one, ann, I remember American Idol. They have to get permission from artists to be able to let the singers sing their songs, and somebody did that song Really. Which by them doing that one song on the radio, I mean on American Idol, boom, you get money for that.
Speaker 2Speaking of TV, did you watch American's Got Talent? I did, I did. I did too. There's some cool stuff on there. We will have to talk about it.
Speaker 1Yes, got to talk about the dominoes, of course, oh my gosh.
Speaker 2That blew my mind, so I was not impressed that they sent the audience home. I was like this is not tricking me. This is not that you know like wow moment that they're looking for. But when they came back and it took them 20 hours to build that domino set, I was impressed, yeah.
Speaker 1We'll talk about American Idol coming up. Time is running out to enter our Grills Gone Wild contest. You have today and tomorrow and we need you to send in a picture of just you anybody standing by a grill. It's not that hard and what we're going to do is on Friday morning, somebody wins a brand new $500 stainless steel four-burner propane grill courtesy of Alabama Teachers Credit Union, and $100 worth of meat from Crow's Butcher Shop in Henniger. And looking at some of the pictures there's some. There's a gentleman he's wearing a Cousin Eddie outfit with hamburger helpers sitting on the grill.
Speaker 2Oh, I love it.
Speaker 1Very creative, do you know?
Speaker 2what? It does not have a name.
Speaker 1All it says is Hamburger Help Me, which is cute, but for us to be able to announce the winner's name Friday. Right now, your name is Hamburger. Last name me, Because you don't have your name when you enter these contests. It's great to be cute, but we need a name of the person in the picture. Yeah, so we know who to congratulate and who to contact.
Speaker 2These are great. There's some great pictures on here, but if you don't have a grill, you can either Photoshop one in. You can go by Rural, king or Walmart and just stand by one and take your picture, or you can get creative and a lot of people have you can see, like the guy with the toy grill.
Speaker 1It's so cute. He's probably knee high and he's bent down, and I don't know where you can get one of these, but it is a great photo.
Speaker 2Uh-huh.
Speaker 1So you upload your picture by going to our website, WQSBcom. And if you want to dress up as Cousin Eddie from National Lampoon's Vacation by a grill, feel free. We'd love to see those.

Speaker 1We'll have to be sure We'll get a hold of Doug later today or Teresa in London and let them tell us what time I'm going to. The high chance of rain 30% chance of afternoon showers. Keep in mind, today there is a chance of some thunderstorms because it's been so dry, so hot lightning could be a major problem today.
Speaker 2Because it's been so dry.
Speaker 1It's been so dry and so hot.
Speaker 1Oh, I didn't know that was a thing, and with this storm coming in, well, we're not going to see much. But to the west, in Florence that area, they have a better chance. But here somebody's going to see some rain, but there's a chance. With the rain you could have a thunderstorm which could include lightning. So if you're going to be out on the lake or out on which I know gunners what was covered up yesterday with boats and jet skis. So just be aware, there is a chance of seeing a thunderstorm later on today. How do you know things you need to know today, halfway through the work week, almost through the entire month, wednesday, june 26th. Higher month, wednesday, june 26th. What should we think about today?
Speaker 2So today in 1498, just a few years ago, the toothbrush was invented in China.
Speaker 4Okay.
Speaker 2The bristles were stiff, coarse hairs, taken from the back of a hog's neck, oh, and attached to handles made of either bone or bamboo. Who thought of that? Who said you know what? That hog's got some good hair. I'm going to use that on my teeth, yeah.
Speaker 1And who said I'm tired of having stinky breath and teeth problems. I'm going to make me a brush for my teeth.
Speaker 2I'm going to call it a toothbrush.
Speaker 1Yes, I'm going to put it on a bone and they said well, that's good, carl, but what are you going to use it? What? That's good, carl, but what are you going to use it? What are you going to make it from? Probably not, carl, since it's in China, bone, but still he said there's a hog over there. Why don't you put some of his hair out?
Speaker 2Yeah, you got any scissors.
Speaker 1Yeah, and get some of that glue, good old Gorilla Glue.
Speaker 2Mm-hmm. Yeah, and what did they use for toothpaste? My grandma we've talked about this last week my grandmother used to use sweet gum branches as a toothbrush for her snuff. Is that not so gross?
Speaker 1Yes, that's a little weird.
Speaker 2But same concept? I guess?
Speaker 1I don't know, it was weird.
Speaker 2Well, how does a toothbrush get to work?
Speaker 1How does a toothbrush get to work? I don't know. Takes the root canal. I'm guessing you have another one.
Speaker 2I got one more Okay one more. What's the toothbrush's favorite band?
Speaker 1The toothbrush's favorite band. I don't know.
Speaker 2The Plac-Eyed Peas.
Speaker 4The Plac-Eyed Peas yeah.
Speaker 1That's pretty good.
Speaker 2Yep and the drink Liquid Death. Have you had Liquid Death water?
Speaker 1I've seen it, but no, I don't. Is it like an energy drink?
Speaker 2It's just water. No, it's just water.
Speaker 1I've seen it. I thought that's an energy drink. I can't have it.
Speaker 2No, it's just water in a can. It's really weird. They're having a challenging time communicating to kids. They shouldn't snort their electrolyte drink mix Death Dust.
Speaker 1Okay, kids are snorting the drink. A drink.
Speaker 2I think because of the name, because it's called Death Dust.
Speaker 1That is crazy.
Speaker 2That is crazy. That's like taking a packet of Pedialyte and snorting it up your nose. That cannot feel good, no, it's made to be like a liquid IV Pedialyte all those extra supplemental things. So, anyway, they enlisted Ozzy Osbourne to help get the message across. And, despite the unusual name, Liquid Death is actually healthy. The company doesn't want their customers to use the death mix in toxic ways.
Speaker 1So they brought in Ozzy Osbourne of all people.
Speaker 2They filmed a video with Osbourne where he warns kids about the dangers of doing the wrong things with death dust.
Speaker 1How did anybody understand what the guy was saying? You can't understand, ozzy Osborne. I don't know.
Speaker 2It doesn't look that good it doesn't look that good, it doesn't look that good yeah. Somebody stole my beers. Have you seen that TikTok? No, he comes out of his room. No, he comes out of his room, no. And he said somebody stole my beers, his beers, his beers. And Sharon says who's the beer thief? And Ozzy goes I don't know. And she said you're the beer thief, you've been drinking your beer, it's so funny.
Speaker 1How did you understand the closed caption? Yeah, closed caption.
Speaker 2You can't understand a word. This man said no, you can't, yeah, but he said he's like. I love how liquid death makes hydration more fun oh, so that's what he says in the commercial. Yeah, you sure no, he could be saying I laugh at death and hope the whole nation has the runs I think that's what you would know you wouldn't know okay, that's what he said, okay yeah, and here's something to think about.
Speaker 2Think about this you and I both wear glasses. Yes, how annoying would it be for nudists when they have to clean their glasses? How annoying would that be?
Speaker 1You know, because I just had to clean mine on my shirt a few minutes ago.
Speaker 2But you're not a nudist.
Speaker 1Whoa, what do they use?
Speaker 2What do they use? Flaps, I don't know.
Speaker 1The overlap of the belly. I don't know A fold that slides through the belly roll.
Speaker 4I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1That's a great thought.
Speaker 2Yes, it's a thought, Just something to think about.
Speaker 1Today We'll have to call a nudist colony and ask them how they do it, okay, 17.
Speaker 3Mornings with Barry and Hall here on Alabama's country giant WQSB. Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy.
Speaker 1But true, yep, crazy but true. The heat, the heat We've had like a heat wave over the past couple of weeks. We're just now getting it, but out west they've had it for like over a month and then now part of the east coast now getting it, and it's been so hot, so hot in washington dc that they have a abraham lincoln wax sculpture that is now melted. It's melted and it's caused problems. Pretty much something like this look what you've done.
Speaker 4I'm melting. That would be creepy. It it's creepy.
Speaker 1Anyway, it's weird they based this on the Lincoln Memorial and somebody made a. It's about six foot tall and it was sitting at the outside of the Garrison Elementary School. They put this up in February. It's made of wax, so keep that in mind. It's been so hot Somebody didn't think that. You know, in the summertime it gets pretty hot here too. This thing could melt, and it has. Over the past few days it began melting. The head began melting first. There's pictures of it on her Facebook page.
Speaker 2Oh, come on.
Speaker 1The one where he's sitting in the chair. You know the classic one, and then all of a sudden his head flops back because it's melting, and then they say that his legs began to drip off its torso, and then a foot turned into a blob and they didn't know what to do. So the first thing they did was they went in there and removed the head. They cut the head off to keep it from melting even further.
Speaker 2Oh no.
Speaker 1So now, when you walk by, there's, like Abraham Lincoln, the headless Lincoln, sitting in the chair with no head because they removed it. Now you can see his big wires ticking out of his neck.
Speaker 2Not the head. That's what happened to him in real life.
Speaker 1Yeah, the head, the head, yeah, sort of yeah, but it's sitting there with no head and it's all disfigured now because it's melting.
Speaker 2You know what I thought about.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2What if you were in that theater with Abe Lincoln? Would you think that was a part of the show?
Speaker 1You wouldn't know, I mean that's the last thing in your mind, that would be awful, yeah, you'd have no clue. But the statue. What were they thinking? Okay, it's made of wax.
Speaker 2I don't know why you would put wax outside, Even in Washington DC. I know they're up north, but it still gets hot Wax melts. Why would you do this with wax?
Speaker 1Now they're paying for it because they've got the statue beginning to melt and it's hot outside like it was yesterday. Yesterday it was hot here Trying to walk around the lake. First time since everybody waddles has passed away.
Speaker 3It just wasn't the same.
Speaker 1It wasn't the same I've seen waddles coming up to us, but it's the first time I've had a chance to walk without my brace on.
Speaker 2Oh, how'd that go, uh well you, you were there, well I know, but did how you never said big difference.
Speaker 1I mean, with the brace on trying to walk. It was so hot with this brace on, your arms just melted and I didn't even notice that. Uh, I forgot that when they did the surgery they shaved my left arm. They shaved my entire left side basically. Oh, that's gross, yeah they shaved my hand, my arm, the entire time oh, oh oh with a body shave a razor. Okay, because they were doing the surgery on my shoulder because they shaved your bone too.
Speaker 1So I thought they shaved the bones, but they shaved all the hair off of it. I asked you later. I said why did they have to shave all the hair off my entire left side?
Speaker 2yeah, they have to. It's for hygiene purposes, for safety, safety control, for infection control.
Speaker 1And now it's weird because I forgot about it. When my brace came off, I was looking and right arm's normal, your arm hair.
Speaker 3Left hair is completely.
Speaker 1It's trying to grow back, but it probably never will. But it made me walking different because I noticed my left side was always in front of my right side, because now I'm more aerodynamic on my left side. And here's actual audio of me walking here. Here I go. Then I jumped over a duck, then I stopped. That was from yesterday. Wow, I don't remember it happening like that, but my left side is so aerodynamic now because it cuts through the air. There's no hair, it's hairless.
Speaker 2And there's also no muscle.
Speaker 1You lost all your muscle.
Speaker 2Your muscle has completely atrophied.
Speaker 1So if you want to beat me up, go to the left side first.
Speaker 2Yeah, go to the left side first.
Speaker 1I know You're a little fragile man on your left side, but it just takes some getting used to. But I got the brace off Monday, yeah, and it feels so much better.
Speaker 2Oh good.
Speaker 1I still got a month left of therapy.
Speaker 2Oh, yeah, god, that's a long time of therapy.
Speaker 1That is, and they do a great job. At TOC though, they do a fantastic job, but that hurts.
Speaker 2And they're listeners. They listen. I'm going to tell you, yeah, I can tell you, got that, cast that brace off how You're just a new man, really, yeah, okay, just different?
Speaker 1What do you need? What do you want?
Speaker 2A day off, or what A raise If I could just sleep in one day, okay.
Speaker 1Okay, you can settle at 615.
Speaker 2Okay, come in at 615 tomorrow Deal.
Speaker 3That works All right. 633. Barry and Holly on Alabama's Country Giant.
Speaker 1WQSB About the new stamp coming out. You know I was thinking I don't know the last time I bought a stamp.
Speaker 2Oh no, I couldn't tell you the last time.
Speaker 1Do you collect stamps at all? No, I've got some. I've got some stamps. I've got like a couple of sheets of those. But alex trebek is getting his first stamp. Uh, former jeopardy host. Of course the postal service announced they're going to be issuing a forever stamp honoring alex trebek, coming out on july the 22nd. Pre-sales are currently open now, but they're going to be available on july 22nd. I like the style. It shows him kind of standing to the side, then it shows one of the big Jeopardy game boards.
Speaker 4Yeah.
Speaker 1And it has a question on it because you know that's where you the question is the answer it says this naturalized US citizen hosted the quiz show Jeopardy for 37 seasons.
Speaker 2Ah, who is Alex Trebek. Who is Alex Trebek, 37 seasons? Ah, who is Alex?
Speaker 1Trebek. Who is Alex Trebek? I get it, so that's cool. I loved Alex Trebek.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 1And speaking of stuff to watch, so you watched AGT last night.
Speaker 2Yeah, I did. I watched it last night and I was impressed by a couple of the acts.
Speaker 1I was too. Yeah, how about the dominoes?
Speaker 2Oh my gosh, I then the cups fell. Did you see that the cups fell and that was not planned. That was not like a oh no moment, it was real.
Speaker 1Two guys who are like 20 something years old 23. 20 hours, yes, they had to clear the audience out of the studio and then they set up these dominoes, because if one falls over, your whole act is ruined. Not to say it was a good act, but would you go to like a Vegas to see this, because once they started pushing them over, it took like maybe two minutes. 20 hours for a two-minute act.
Speaker 2That's tough. That is tough to say, because I think I would, but I wouldn't pay like 50 bucks to see it. No, no, I'd like to see it on like the street. Yeah, a street show.
Entertainment News and General Updates
Speaker 1Now, who else Did you see the, the, I think 10, 11-year-old girl playing the guitar from?
Speaker 2India Saw her, loved her, played the heavy metal.
Speaker 1It wasn't a magician, but he did an act with a chicken.
Speaker 2Yeah, and I don't understand how he did that.
Speaker 1No idea.
Speaker 2Did you see that?
Speaker 1I saw it. No idea how he made this work, but the chicken was kind of like reading well, supposedly reading everybody's minds.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1There was a trick to it. I had no clue.
Speaker 2It has to be a trick to it, but I don't understand what it is. It blows my mind.
Speaker 1Yeah, Now the last dance group, the dance group from Australia. They're on the white outfits. They were amazing. I have no idea what they were doing exactly. No, it's like an interpretive dance, sort of, would you say.
Speaker 2Uh-huh yeah.
Speaker 1It was an interpretive dance. I'll tell you the one I like the best. Her name is Stephanie Rainey and she did a song called Please Don't Go. If you've been on TikTok at all over the past few months, you probably have seen this song. People have used pieces of it. She wrote the song dealing with was it her almost one-year-old? Was it nephew? Yes, I think. I read yes who passed away?
Speaker 2The day before his first birthday.
Speaker 1And she wrote this song in honor of him, and you probably have heard this.
Speaker 4Here's a piece of Stephanie singing last night Hold your hand till it goes cold. Hold my tears until you go, with all the life that leaves you alone. It stalks the purpose from my own.
Speaker 1He's going, please don't go. And I've never seen a performance where the entire crowd and there were so many people crying last night, and even simon when he finished I think if he hadn't given her, he'd already used his two golden buzzers. Yeah, I think he would have given her one yeah because he walked on stage when she was done and told her what a great song it was it.
Speaker 2It's beautifully written, it's heartbreakingly written, but it's truthfully written.
Speaker 1Have you seen some of the videos on tiktok that they've been posting these for about a month now and using a piece of that song? And now, there she was last night performing it and, yes, she did move on to the next round. Yeah, as she should. So that was good. So america's got talent and we'll be back again next week at 646.

Speaker 1All right, could be a tough one today. It's been extremely hot. It's gonna be hot today, but it's time for the cannonball pool party forecast. How many cannonballs do you need today to stay cool? It's gonna be 97, with a heat index of around 100 to 105. But you've got to throw in a chance of rain later this afternoon. So what do you think? Between 1 and 5, how many cannonballs do you need to stay cool today?
Speaker 2I'm going to give it a 3.5. 3.5. Because of the rain that might be coming in. It's really like more of a summer rain. It's not like going to be a.
Speaker 1Could be a thunderstorm.
Speaker 2It could be a thunderstorm.
Speaker 1It's not going to last long.
Speaker 2It's not going to last long, so I'm going to give it a three, three and a half.
Speaker 1Be careful of that half cannonball.
Speaker 2Yes, be careful of that. Half one. It means you pick up one leg and whatever is vulnerable to the water it's going to hurt so anyway, she got that going for you.
Speaker 1And then there's this Morning's quote of the day. I love Dolly Parton and I found this one. I thought you know Dolly has said so many great things and here's another one that I never heard before.
Speaker 2But I love this one. Yeah, Dolly says don't get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life. That's true, that's good, yeah.
Speaker 1Sometimes you get caught up. I've been guilty of it. You get so busy with work, got to work. They can't make it without me. I've got to be there, and then you ended up ignoring some of the things that mean more to you than work ever will.
Speaker 2Yeah, and I think we do that a lot of times. I think you can relate. We do that with our kids. We have to work, have to work, have to work, sure, and then we push them to the side. But they're only little ones and they grow up so fast. So you can just take some time this week and pause and really appreciate what's around you, I think it's important to do that every once in a while, never too busy to spend time with what matters most.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, don't forget what. It is Absolutely All right 7-14.
Fast Food News and Engagement Mishap
Speaker 3Mary and Mary and Holly on Alabama's Country, giant WQSB In my belly, come on so bye-bye, Miss.
Speaker 2American Pie.
Speaker 1Well, we're not talking American Pie, we are talking chicken, a lot of chicken. We got McDonald's, we got Little Caesars and we have Popeyes in the news. Popeyes has announced the boneless wings. They were trying these in select locations. Now they're going to go nationwide, okay, and they're going to be on their permanent menu. I wish we had the Popeyes. We had two at one time in this area and they both closed and there's still some in Gadsden and Otala. Well, popeyes has announced the boneless wings will be in six flavors Classic, signature, hot, honey, lemon, pepper, roasted Garlic, parmesan, honey, barbecue and Sweet and Spicy. Which one are you trying? I don't know. I like the Parmesan. I've had those before, not from Popeye's, but that sounds good to me.
Speaker 2I want to try the Honey Lemon Pepper. I've never had Honey Lemon Pepper before.
Speaker 1These do look good. So if you're going to be hitting Popeye's eventually, try those out. Speaking of chicken, chicken nuggets McDonald's the nuggets have been around for years and sometimes it tastes like it, but they're bringing back some of the.
Speaker 2It does taste like it. Yeah, they're bringing back some sauces. Today in Canada, mcdonald's just brought back three sauces from the past Garlic, parmesan, szechuan and Jalapeno Cheddar.
Speaker 1I don't remember the Jalapeno Cheddar.
Speaker 2I don't either. It said that it came out in the 2000s. I don't know.
Speaker 1Szechuan's been back and forth for years. They bring it in for a few months and they get rid of it.
Speaker 2Why do they get rid of it?
Speaker 1I don't know People like it. I like the Szechuan.
Speaker 2Yeah, I don't know, but it says it's supposed to be returning soon, later this year, gotcha, and then Little Caesar is testing a four-in-one stick.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2They've been testing this in Nashville. It's a shareable snack. That is a large pizza and it's divided into 16 sticks, Gotcha, so you can choose your toppings. You can get plain pepperoni, jalapeno and bacon. Crazy sauce is also included for dipping. I love this because I'm not a big red sauce fan. I like the cheese and so this is perfect for me.
Speaker 1I like the idea. There's one that is showing an example here. You can get the pizza, but four different sections. One section is the regular breadsticks, one has pepperoni, one has what? Jalapeno, jal jalapeno. One has bacon yeah, so there's a little bit of something for everybody there, yeah, it's good and they're sliced into like little cheese bread. It's good stuff, it's a great idea. Yeah, it's 7, 26.
Speaker 3wqsb mornings with barry and holly. Come on, man mornings.
Speaker 1Come on man story. You know people do this a lot and occasionally it backfires. When they want to propose to somebody, like like in a crowd public place, like at a ball game or something like that, occasionally they get turned down. It happened this time in Czechoslovakia. An MMA fighter, lukas Bukovas, I have no idea.
Speaker 2I think he did actually pretty good. No idea.
Speaker 1First of all, the day was was as bad as it could get. He had a fight, he had a big competition and he lost in the competition. But he'd already planned on proposing to his girlfriend after the match. So he already had the ring, had everything set to go, had the ring announcer there, everything was ready. He invited her to come on into the octagon with him, went down to one knee with the ring and said will you marry me? And she said no, no, no. In front of 20,000 people, no, yeah, not counting the ones who were watching it live on TV. Oh, no.
Speaker 2Oh, you know what? I don't think that I would have the I can't say the word Octagons. Yeah, I wouldn't have the octagons to say no in front of that many people. I would say no privately later.
Speaker 1Would you say yes, then you would even say no, I'd be like you, idiot.
Speaker 2Book of Oz. Listen Book of Oz.
Speaker 1Listen.
Speaker 2Listen, don't ask me, in front of 20,000 people, to marry you. No, that's a lot of pressure. That's a lot of pressure and you just lost this fight. Yeah, and then I'd cuss at him.
Speaker 1Yeah, First of all, you should have won the fight in my honor first of all.
Speaker 2Do you think if she had won the fight Possibly, yeah it may have changed the outcome.
Speaker 1It may depend on how much money he had, Because looking at the ring I'm trying to see, it doesn't look very big.
Speaker 2I can see his hot pink hair.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2I mean, his hair is hot pink.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And I can see her and fishnets.
Speaker 1Yeah and oof.
Speaker 2She must be an MMA fighter too. Why?
Speaker 1And lost.
Speaker 2Oh, oh yeah, Oof. You see, oh, I see, Okay, okay, okay. I think that that is just a bad day for Book of Oz.
Speaker 1Yeah, Because how do you come back from that? I mean you just lost your fight and you just lost your girlfriend, apparently.
Speaker 2No, yeah, you don't come back from that, you just don't, do you go back?
Speaker 1for a rematch? Do you go back later and say, hey, Can we get a rematch on this, Can we get a mulligan get?
Speaker 4a do-over.
Speaker 2A mulligan yeah one more.
Speaker 1Give me one more chance here, but how embarrassing is that, though? To lose your mind and get turned down by your fiancé man.
Speaker 2That's like first he got beat up, yeah, and then he got emotionally beat up by his girlfriend. Goodness, the one person that's supposed to have his back and she was like no man. I ain't for it.
Speaker 1Then he goes home and finds out they're closing Hooters all over the world.
Speaker 2They're closing down the restaurant, yeah they are.
Speaker 1So his local Hooters has been shut down. Oh no, this guy can't win.
Speaker 2He's having a bad day, barry, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1yeah, I don't ever remember having a rubber band ever in my house, wow that's weird what would I need it for?
Speaker 4this is gonna be a little random, but what about if you buy asparagus at the grocery store?
Speaker 2it's usually got a rubber band on it I throw them away and then I'll just twist it, yeah okay. But I've never bought asparagus with a rubber band.
Speaker 1I've never bought it period.
Speaker 2Oh, I love it. Oh, I love it On the grill. You cook on the grill. You should learn to cook asparagus.
Speaker 1Why.
Speaker 2Because we all love it yeah.
Speaker 1I'm asking you over if you're going to eat that stuff Cause of the toilet.
Speaker 2No, it would be fine until I went number one. Barry, do you?
Speaker 4not like it because it's green.
Speaker 1It's a vegetable and I don't like many of them. There's only a few vegetables I'll eat.
Speaker 2I had to get breakfast this morning. It was my turn for breakfast and he had to have no onions on his bagel this morning.
Speaker 4Remember that, bagel? Yeah, I remember the issue yesterday or two days ago.
Speaker 2Well, I got a buy one, get one free coupon in the mail yesterday From McDonald's, which I thought was neat. And hey, by the way, McDonald's has a happy hour from 2 to 5 and their large drinks are a dollar.
Speaker 4Really, yes, good deal, and that's just through the summer Good sweet tea in the afternoon 72% of Americans live within an hour of their parents.
Speaker 2That's a big percentage. It is, and I do.
Speaker 1Back when they were alive, absolutely. Oh yeah, I lived within an hour. Mom and dad, yeah, yeah, I was one of those 72. Now you, your mom and dad live in town.
Speaker 2My mom and dad live just about 10 minutes away. What about you?
Speaker 4Rach, mine live six hours away. I didn't know that. Where do they?
Speaker 2live.
Speaker 1My whole family's correct, so that's roughly two out of three people.
Speaker 2Yeah, so that's right. So two out of three in this room live within an hour.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2I'm going to tell you as long as my mama and daddy are alive, I cannot live far from them. Don't blame me at all I've got to have them. Yeah, ten percent of guys in a Matchcom survey say that they have changed phone number after a first date.
Speaker 4That's a little extreme. It must have been a bad first date.
Speaker 2It must have been. It must have been.
Speaker 1Is she already clingy talking about marriage right off the bat?
Speaker 2If you're on Matchcom. There's some wild people out there in this world on those dates, I guess. So that's what I hear. I don't know. I just hear rumors. Yeah, I do too. I'm really not on any dating websites. How rumors? Yeah, I do too. I'm really not on any dating websites.
Speaker 1But how bad has a date got to be to change your phone?
Speaker 2number right after the date? That would have to be bad. Does it cost money to change your phone number?
Speaker 1I don't think so.
Speaker 2But I've had the same phone number for like 15 years, so why would I want to change that for one person? Just block them.
Speaker 4Yeah, block them.
Speaker 2True.
Speaker 4Because maybe they're a little too clingy. Yeah, a little bit crazy.
Speaker 2Yeah, just hit that block button. Yeah, that's okay. Yep, oh well.
Speaker 1I don't know. I agree, okay, all right. $7.55.

Speaker 1She's like a little butterfly, like a little butterfly and he said we're looking for a walk-up song and some intro music music and he recommended a song by the who. Now, you familiar with the song. It's called the squeeze box, or squeeze box, what? Here we go. You recognize it. Here we go, squeeze box. Okay, not saying rachel is a squeeze box. What is the?
Speaker 3squeeze box. I'm guessing it's like like it may be like an got a squeeze box she wears on her chest when daddy comes home.
Speaker 1He never gets no rest I'm guessing it's like, like, maybe like an accordion type thing that she you know she's playing, yeah what do you think? Is that fitting? Is that a good one for her?
Speaker 2um, I don't think we can legally play that one. Oh oh, it says a squeeze. No, be careful. It's okay, a squeeze box refers to a type of musical instrument, specifically an accordion. It is called a squeeze box because it's compressing and expanding, oh there you go Okay, Well, there's others we've talked about. I don't know oh yeah, that's one of our intros.
Speaker 1Well, can't use that one then.
Speaker 2No, can't use that one.
Speaker 1Oh she might like that one. Yeah, yeah, she like that one, she might oh.
Speaker 4God oh.

Speaker 2Oh, that's a good one.
Speaker 1Is that a good one for him? Oh yeah, or maybe one of yours? Oh yes, that's not fitting, though. That's not good at all. No, that's not fitting.
Speaker 4I don't know.
Speaker 1I will let you.
Speaker 2That's just good music. That is what about that one I got to put hold on? Yeah, and we'll never know who the killer of the fishnet lady was.

Speaker 1And we found him with a high heel up his rear end, and that's all we know. But before the show's over, we will find the killer Turn around. But one song we definitely cannot use oh no, we can't use this one, no.
Speaker 2This is my song.
Speaker 1That's your song, this is mine, yeah, so anyway, just think it over. We may go with Andy. You're just saying Squeeze box, squeeze box, as long as we don't have to pay Andy for a finder's fee.

Speaker 1Yeah, and just listen to her songs and some of these quotes. And what about this quote? Do you agree with this?
Speaker 2I love this one. It says don't get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life. And I love that because we get so caught up with our kids and with our family I mean, when's the last time you've seen some of your family members? You know that's true Because you're working so much. That's true. And you can't redo a life. We can't redo this life, so we have one chance to make it happen. We've got to make it count, and every day matters.
Speaker 1Like Dolly, she said she has made time and she's so glad she did. But at one, At one point, she said she was too busy for family too busy. And then she stopped one day and thought you know, I can be replaced in all this stuff I do in business, but I can't be replaced in the family, that's right. And she began taking more time with her family.
Speaker 2I love that quote.
Speaker 1So just think about it, it's 8.53. Wqsb.
