Speaker 1:

It's time to rise and shine and get your morning started with Alabama's award-winning morning show. Everybody in town's talking about it, broadcasting live from high atop Alabama's beautiful Sand Mountain.

Speaker 2:

We bring you this special radio television broadcast in order to give you the very latest information on an amazing phenomenon.

Speaker 1:

Please welcome your hosts. Barry, that boy's about as sharp as a bowling ball, and Holly, the pretty one, is saying crazy stuff again.

Speaker 2:

That would be you. Me, that would be you. No, yeah, because I've never been called that.

Speaker 3:

Have you ever been called a liar?

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Okay, I believe that.

Speaker 2:

It's 6.07. Man, it feels good. This morning we're in the 50s again. Woo, yeah, it's 54 in Fort Payne, 56 in Gadsden. We're at 57 here at QSB and you will be walking on sunshine today. 84 will be the highest. It's going to be a beautiful day, nice and breezy later this afternoon. Tomorrow they give us a slight chance of rain, and then Friday still about a 40, 50, 50 chance of rain. But the temps, it feels good this morning it feels wonderful this morning.

Speaker 3:

Yep, good for a morning walk or sit outside drink your morning coffee, sure absolutely.

Speaker 2:

Thank you for joining us this morning. We appreciate you having us in. Yeah, I'm going to give you a lot of stuff out of information this morning and many of the things you can do to help, like donating dog food for a second chance shelter. We'll tell you how that works and if you if you miss the picture, the T-shirt you can get, you need to go to our Facebook page and look. Woodstock 2024 has one of the best looking T-shirts we ever had.

Speaker 3:

I was not going to let you skip over that T-shirt. I was going to make sure you hit on that.

Speaker 2:

T-shirt you took a picture of it and posted it.

Speaker 3:

I took a picture of it and posted it, and we have very tie-dye shirts. We have multiple, uh, various color shirts, but we're limited on tie tie and I saw people tagging each other and wanting these shirts oh yeah, we will be here at six o'clock friday morning on friday morning, that's when it starts that's when it starts. If you would like to get a tie-dye t-shirt, you can line up at the door at 6 o'clock, or you may be the only one here.

Speaker 2:

I may well be, but it takes 30 pounds of dog food. You donate 30 pounds, you get a t-shirt.

Speaker 3:

That's it.

Speaker 2:

And the dog food goes to Second Chance Shelter, so it's a win-win for everybody.

Speaker 3:

Hey, that's awesome.

Speaker 2:

And thank you to Dixie Designs and Boaz. They have knocked this one out of the park with another beautiful design of a t-shirt.

Speaker 3:

It's awesome. It's a little dog with dreads and it says Wolfstock and the O is a peace sign and it has little music notes around it. It's so cute, it is cool.

Speaker 2:

It starts Friday, the donation starts and we're going to do it all through June, the entire month of June. You can drop off dog food here during business hours, but we're making exception Fridays, since that's the day it starts. You can drop it off here. 30 pounds or more gets you a free T-shirt.

Speaker 3:

Yes, and the question on Facebook a lot of people were asking was do we take it to the shelter or do we bring it to the station? Bring it here to us.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you can do either, but the t-shirts are here, if you take it to the shelter.

Speaker 3:

You want a t-shirt, bring it here.

Speaker 2:

You can go to the shelter and you'll get a t-shirt, but you then have to drive to the radio station to get the t-shirt.

Speaker 3:

Oh yeah, so you've got to come here, anyway. Yeah, I see what you're saying.

Speaker 2:

You can drop it off to Second Chance Shel, but you still have to come here to get the t-shirt. I have a question.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I'm going to whisper it. Who's carrying all this dog food out? You, but no one can carry it.

Speaker 2:

It's always the person who has hired last.

Speaker 3:

It's not me.

Speaker 2:

Oh, that would be Seth there was. Will, there was Seth it falls to Seth Lee came back. Yeah, I guess it's Lee Mosley. I guess it's.

Speaker 3:

Lee Mosley, I've been here a year. I'm not the new guy anymore.

Speaker 2:

If you know Lee Mosley, tell him you're the dog food guy. He's a toter.

Speaker 3:

I'm going to tell you I can't carry that much.

Speaker 2:

It will amaze you. We have people walk in here. They're shorter than you and they weigh about 20 pounds.

Speaker 3:

And they've got one bag over each shoulder.

Speaker 2:

That's crazy. Then they hand it to me and then it drops on there. I don't know how I tore my arm loose. Probably Totin' dog food, Totin'.

Speaker 3:

Did you say totin'?

Speaker 2:

Totin' dog food.

Speaker 3:

Totin' dog food.

Speaker 2:

You don't tote anything.

Speaker 3:

I don't tote anything I carry, you carry it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you don't tote.

Speaker 3:

Oh, this is going on Facebook. You, you toad, no, you carry. Do you toad something?

Speaker 2:

Is toad a real word? I've always heard toad my entire life, not toad.

Speaker 3:

Hey Siri, Is toad a real word? Toad is derived from Old English Toad.

Speaker 2:

No, it's totally different To toad, or to toad is totally opposite.

Speaker 3:

You can toad in church. You can't toad in there, Well you can, but they know where it came from. Okay, no, do you call it toad or carry?

Speaker 2:

Toad. So Siri didn't know. Uh-uh, try T-O-T-E. I think that's how you spell it In my mind you do.

Speaker 3:

All right. So what do I? Did I Google it?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, google totes. That's what the meaning of it is, because maybe a good scribble word too you can use Define tote See what it says Carry, wield or convey.

Speaker 3:

See Something heavy there you go the tote. Okay, I'm putting it on Facebook. Do you call it tote or to carry?

Speaker 2:

So do you use carry?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I say I, I'm gonna carry this dog food inside the house isn't a purse, also called like a tote bag? It is called a tote. Oh, I don't like that, I don't like. And there's something you say I don't like. I don't like billfold.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I like wallet, yeah, wallet I don't know.

Speaker 3:

There's just certain words that it's just I don't know it's weird.

Speaker 2:

We have different meanings for different ways to say certain words.

Speaker 3:

Okay, tote this going to tote this in the house. I think that's a Southern thing. I think it is yeah.

Speaker 2:

Hey, we want to congratulate our listener of the day.

Speaker 3:

Josh Johnson. Way to go, Josh, Yay.

Speaker 2:

Josh. Josh is cool.

Speaker 3:

Josh has been so supportive lately he's been giving us the nicest comments.

Speaker 2:

He has, and he really went above and beyond commenting on the post from my day yesterday.

Speaker 3:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

Dealing with Reed's birthday. Yes, josh, I read every single comment. By the way, you put up a post yesterday morning telling it was a hard day dealing with my son's birthday. He would have been 30. And he passed away two years ago. But there were some amazing comments and there were so many I was going to start replying, but you said that's going to shut Facebook down.

Speaker 3:

I did. You had so many that it would have flagged you and shut you down and put you in Facebook jail.

Speaker 2:

But please know, I read every single one of them.

Speaker 3:

Every one of them.

Speaker 2:

And it touched my heart it really did knowing that there's so many people praying yes, your prayers worked, because it ended up being a better day than I thought it would be. It was a hard day but it was a better day than I was expecting and I think the prayers worked and the people's comments. So many of these people I've never had the chance to meet in person. I say your names and I thought that's a listener. I'd love to meet them and they were so nice. It meant so much.

Speaker 3:

I think it's hard for you because you feel so guilty. You were talking this morning. You said this year will be three years. I should have moved on. But I don't think that this is something. I think you get stuck in a place of grieving. You move on and you feel better and you have more of a routine, but I don't think that this is something that ever goes away.

Speaker 2:

No, it's not. And what really affected me was looking at all the comments of other listeners who have also lost a child and how it's affected them. And it's just a group, I guess, a club you don't want to be in.

Speaker 2:

I don't want to be in that club you should never have to be in that you have to outlive your child or children and for the people who also lost one praying for you also. It's tough, but the comments were amazing and then I wrote a little note last night thanking everybody. Then more comments come in, and Josh had one of the comments that really stuck out to me. And I appreciate it. All the comments, Thank you all so much. I didn't reply to every single one because it would take me a while.

Speaker 3:

Well, I'm afraid, and being honest, I'm one-handed right now. You're one-handed, I really am. You're typing one-handed, it's hard to type. All right, we got comments coming in. Jason Pruitt says tote, pam Harris says tote, t yeah, connie Meeks says both, sonia Harrell says tote and George Thomas says carry. So I don't know Well you can do both.

Speaker 2:

You can like going on an airplane, you can tote your carry on See. The way your face lit up when you thought of that. Yeah, see, I just went off. See, it's like you raised your hand in class. You finally got an answer to a math question.

Speaker 3:

Hey, we've got 17 comments on your and God, we got a lot of comments on that picture of the good morning. We got to go over some of these. Okay, you want to go over them later? We will, because I got some things to tell you too. Well, we got to get to business. Okay, let's get to it.

Speaker 2:

Down to it, it's things you need to know and people are waiting to find out what they need to know. Know today, because it's Wednesday, may 29th, almost through with another month. You can tell school is out because birthday calls slow down. Traffic slows down a little bit in the morning. Crickets, crickets. So tell us what's going on today.

Speaker 3:

Today is National Brown Baggett Day.

Speaker 2:

I used to brown baggett to school every day. Mother always made my lunch.

Speaker 3:

I still brown baggett at least once a week. I love it With.

Speaker 2:

McDonald's and I love the brown bag special, like at Dale's Barbecue.

Speaker 3:

I love brown bag specials anywhere. They're always good.

Speaker 2:

I love them. Sometimes I'll bring a lunch here at work. I mean, it's so much cheaper too.

Speaker 3:

Barry, I'm not seeing you one time. Bring lunch here.

Speaker 2:

Well, you don't eyeball me all the time.

Speaker 3:

Yes, I do, yes, I do.

Speaker 2:

Saturdays and Sundays when I work makes me stiff.

Speaker 3:

Okay, fair enough, all right, the most popular things that people use brown bags are to carry your lunch to school or work, like you said. Sure, to carry your groceries. Yeah, I'm not one of them, I do plastic.

Speaker 2:

Plastic I do too, but don't tell anybody, because I can reuse it for my garbage can.

Speaker 3:

I do. I reuse it for like cleanups. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And number three.

Speaker 3:

Okay, in case of a really ugly date.

Speaker 2:

Sometimes you need a two-bagger. They call her or they call him A two-bagger, a double-bag, in case the first one falls off. You got the backup on the head. They were so ugly.

Speaker 3:

Isn't it more dangerous to double-bag it? It is, yeah, I think it is. They were so ugly, isn't it?

Speaker 2:

more dangerous to double bag it? It is, yeah, I think it is.

Speaker 3:

I can't breathe.

Speaker 2:

No, yeah, that's a good one.

Speaker 3:

Oh, here's something you need to know. In a heartwarming and inspiring act of kindness, a fifth grade student from Missouri demonstrated incredible compassion and generosity by raising enough money to clear his entire school's meal debt.

Speaker 2:

That is awesome, I love that. That is awesome, I love that.

Speaker 3:

That is awesome, that is.

Speaker 2:

Because a lot of times you go through school and you can't pay, so you'll have a debt and you'll try to catch up at the end of the year. He heard about this. I read this story. He heard about this and thought I need to try to help these kids. So he did all kinds of things, from mowing yards to washing windows, just raising money so he could pay off that debt. It doesn't say how much it was, but it had to be hundreds and hundreds of dollars.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, and he's in fifth grade.

Speaker 2:

Fifth grader.

Speaker 3:

Fifth grade wants to help people.

Speaker 2:

His fellow students. I love that. That's a great story. That is such a good story, yep.

Speaker 3:

And then here's something to think about. Okay, my dad, he told me years ago that when he was little he had to smack the side of the TV because the channel wasn't clear.

Speaker 2:

We did too.

Speaker 3:

We did too, I've just been thinking I wish we could do that to people. Just smack the side of them and see if it's working. You're making no sense If you get it working again, smack. Smack the side of them.

Speaker 2:

You make absolutely no sense. You idiot Smack that would be good. Yeah, you make absolutely no sense. You, idiot Smack that would be good.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, 618. Wqsb mornings with Barry and Holly.

Speaker 2:

Our listener of the day is on the phone. We're talking to Josh.

Speaker 3:

Hey, Josh, hey how are y'all doing?

Speaker 2:

We're good, Doing good. Josh Johnson, the official listener of the day and you get a QSB morning show T-shirt. So congratulations to you, josh, and hey, we just want to put you on the air and just thank you for listening, and you've been commenting off and on for stuff that we put up there for a long time for years Roughly. How long have you been listening to QSP Do?

Speaker 5:

you know, for a long time. I had a job change three years ago to where I'm able to listen on and off throughout the day, so I'd say I've been a number one fan for three years and I believe it too.

Speaker 2:

Thanks, josh. Pretty much anything we comment on, like we commented on something this morning, you mean anything we post. Post, yeah, anything we post. We'll ask Josh carry or tote? Yes, what do you?

Speaker 3:

call it. Do you tote it or do you carry it, Josh?

Speaker 5:

I think it's just according to the. Sometimes I get tired of toting things around. Yeah, I carry a license. Yeah, right.

Speaker 3:

But if you're carrying groceries to your front door, are you toting them or carrying them? Oh, I'm toting them. Oh yeah, josh is toting.

Speaker 2:

Holly said you're a carrier, I'm a carrier. Oh yeah, josh is toting. Holly said you're a carrier, I'm a carrier. Yep, but you crossed your eyes when I said toed. You never used toed.

Speaker 3:

Never. Uh-uh, it's not foreign to me, it's not like I've never heard it, it's just I've never heard you say it. Okay, and it took me off guard Because you're not. You are not that. Sorry, barry, but you're not that country. You're not that country like you have a radio accent it's kind of neutral.

Speaker 2:

I'm country. I grew up in Crossville and we peed off the back porch.

Speaker 3:

I'm sure Josh did too josh, thank you so much for calling in well, josh, you be careful.

Speaker 2:

I know you're working today and we'll get you that t-shirt when we see you in a few, maybe in the next day or so okay okay, thank you.

Speaker 5:

You won't thank everybody the hell all right, thanks, josh, appreciate it.

Speaker 2:

Speaking of comments, you put up another one last night it was the last night or this morning about the soap.

Speaker 3:

That was last night and that was a huge response. We had over 400 comments.

Speaker 2:

The question you mentioned that you've got Irish Spring, a bar of soap.

Speaker 3:

You don't have to tell people what I use.

Speaker 2:

Well, yes, we do.

Speaker 3:

No, you don't have to.

Speaker 2:

Acquiring minds want to know.

Speaker 3:

Well, there's people on here that's going to judge me.

Speaker 2:

Well, you asked me when's the last time you've had a bar of soap. Yes, and I thought it's been a while since I've had a bar of soap.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I can't use one now because with a bar of soap.

Speaker 3:

luckily we've got the oh my gosh, Can you imagine if you dropped it?

Speaker 2:

Oh, with one arm.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, and you can't let that other arm hang too much of an angle.

Speaker 2:

No. Like that would be terrible, but I use the liquid soap in pretty much every room. I don't have a bar of soap.

Speaker 3:

Body wash.

Speaker 2:

Body wash. Well, it's a squirt bottle.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, liquid soap is like for washing your hands.

Speaker 2:

Well, it's in the bathroom too.

Speaker 3:

It is, but you don't put it on your bottom. I hope you don't.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, no, you got to clean your.

Speaker 3:

Not hand soap.

Speaker 2:

No, body wash no body wash.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, okay, we're on the same page here Okay. Okay, quit looking at me like that.

Speaker 2:

I didn't know what you Like. You said I didn't wash my butt.

Speaker 3:

I thought you were saying you did with hand soap.

Speaker 2:

I was concerned. Okay, but some of the comments, how would you say? People lean more towards liquid than to do bar soap.

Speaker 3:

Let me see what my AI says.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Because it's got this really neat thing on Facebook on mobile. When you go to the comments it'll give you a summary, so I don't have to do. Okay, here we go. It says opinions are divided, with some preferring bar soap for the cleansing properties and other lacking body wash for the moisturizing properties. Some people use both, depending on their mood or for different parts of their body. I was looking this morning at like 3.30 and a lot of people wash their face with bar soap and their body with body wash.

Speaker 2:

Okay, that makes sense.

Speaker 3:

That was probably the biggest answer.

Speaker 2:

Okay, like Jessica Lanham here says body wash, pam Clift body wash. Sabrina Stevens, bar soap, it doesn't make the bathtub slick. Oh yeah, crystal Peoples, body wash. Amy Roberts, both Patricia Kirby, body wash, dove. Both Patricia Kirby, body Wash, dove, rejuvenate. Oh, megan Brooks Body Wash. Crystal Haynes, body Wash. So here Lakita Elkins, bar Soap and Wash with Body Wash. Let's see, lakita does both.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, she does both. Morgan House, which is Tiffany English, says body wash dove coconut Yum.

Speaker 2:

I bet that sounds good Looking at the voting it's almost, I'd say, nine out of ten people will go with body wash. There's not many bars of soap users on here Deborah Ritchie soap bar. Deidre body wash the bar soap leaves my skin tight and itchy. Yeah. To me bar soap. It's hard to use from the waist down especially. Mm-mm. No. Mm-mm.

Speaker 3:

Mm-mm.

Speaker 2:

You don't think so Mm-mm.

Speaker 3:

Rachel Bloodworth. She was one of my nursing instructors. She said body wash. Okay, hold on.

Speaker 2:

Okay, I'm going to finish this comment here. Okay, I'm coming back. You said no, you shook your head. No, why, uh-huh? No, like you don't want to use the bar of soap.

Speaker 3:

It's not a problem.

Speaker 2:

On the rear end.

Speaker 3:

Yes, you do.

Speaker 2:

Because then if you put it back up to your face now, you've got.

Speaker 3:

No, you put it on a washcloth, butt soap face. No, you don. You put the soap on a washcloth and the butt goes on the washcloth, not the soap.

Speaker 2:

Okay, For guys? They probably don't. Guys jump in there with a bar of soap and go to town, Go to work. You don't go grab a washcloth.

Speaker 3:

Yes, you do. Well, you're supposed to.

Speaker 2:

That's girly.

Speaker 3:

No, it's not. I know what you're wanting to say. No, yes, you are, but it is no, it's not.

Speaker 2:

I don't think I used a bath rag to wash anything until I was much older, because when you're little, or even the guy, you just grab a bar of soap and just lather up your hands and you, there you go you don't use a wait a minute when I was younger. No, I never used a bath rag what about now?

Speaker 3:

yes, okay, okay I thought you're saying you don't use one now and I was not about to come undone.

Speaker 2:

Like most, guys when they're probably younger. They're in a hurry and you just take care of business as quick as you can.

Speaker 3:

Now I'll be honest with you. I use my hands to lather.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's what guys do, okay, or most. I'm speaking for men here, but mostly. You're, or most I'm, speaking for. I'm standing up for men here, but mostly I never used a bath rag. When I was little, mother would always get the bath rag and wash your face because you'd mind your ears, because you're just.

Speaker 3:

Covered in dirt. Did you have to share bath water?

Speaker 2:

We did. I was the youngest one in the family so I always I was number five. So by the time I got in there it looked like sweet tea like milo's sweet tea in the bathtub it was. It was cold summertime. Baths were not fun when I was little because you got one bathtub full of water is that okay? My brothers would always get my attention to doing something outside. No one. Okay, we're gonna go inside and take a bath. Oh, he's gonna be outside playing basketball.

Speaker 3:

He's gonna be the last one he gets a nasty water so did you do it by order of age or by like?

Speaker 2:

uh call it sisters went first, and then the brothers, and then I was last, because I was the youngest and I probably stunk at school, I don't know you're really weird about personal hygiene, though you think that's why. Now I think back to. I was pretty nasty when I was little because I was the fewest one in the tub.

Speaker 3:

Because you like brush your teeth a ton and you like take lots of showers.

Speaker 2:

I'm paranoid now with this arm because I feel like I have body odor because I can't raise my left arm.

Speaker 3:

But it's not that You've made me stick my nose in your armpit about 40 times. It does not stink, it doesn't stink.

Speaker 2:

We're good.

Speaker 3:

It doesn't. You're getting in there. I even told you not to use deodorant.

Speaker 2:

I was told not to clean the grass where they attached my bicep was in my armpit area. That hurts. Well, I bet it does, I was told don't get it wet because your stitches. You don't want to get those wet.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, but they've got you taped up.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, well, alright, so we're looking over some fuel and coming on with confusion.

Speaker 3:

What have we done to this morning show? It's bad, yeah, it's 631.

Speaker 1:

Mornings with Barry and Hall here on Alabama's country giant WQSB.

Speaker 2:

Sunshine 84, a little high later today. A little windy Winds, 10 to 15 miles an hour. Good day to be outside and enjoy 58 this morning here at QSP. Looking over the post earlier about do you say you tote or carry something, because I mentioned I was toting something and you thought that was odd. So then you said you say carry.

Speaker 3:

I carry Like Rhonda Hill says depends on the situation.

Speaker 2:

I use both. Amber Sample says tote. Adam Shankle says tote most of the time. Trish Smith says both. Cindy Glasscock says carry. Amanda Patterson tote if it's heavy and carry if it's not heavy. Okay.

Speaker 3:

Sid Sneed says carry Tote makes my skin crawl.

Speaker 2:

Ooh, ooh. So you think? There's a weight limit then, according to, like Anna, maybe people say you're toting something. If it's heavy, you carry it like a purse.

Speaker 3:

maybe if it's not as heavy, I know because that's what Brandon and Beth Garman commented too Tote if it's heavy carry if it's something small.

Speaker 2:

I never thought of that. Wanda Piper said the same thing Tote if heavy, carry if light. Casey Brooks a bag of Jennifer Elrod, both. Rita Smith tote, katie Sutton tote. So far, tote seems to be the number one answer in this area.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, tote, tote's popular.

Speaker 2:

Some say just whatever.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, but then you get to the bottom and they're all carry.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

You say that, totes, I think you are pulling favorites over here, because I'm looking Well, the most recent.

Speaker 2:

I'm going with the most recent comments, but you're right further on down it was Carrie Carrie, carrie, connie Meeks, both yeah, so let us know what you think. Then, while you're on there, scroll down. It's a guy who looks like John Wick. Okay, but it's not Keanu Reeves and it's not John Wick the character. But the people were blown away by this man. It was in, let's see, thailand, is that right? Yeah.

Speaker 2:

In Thailand. This guy was working, or he was there at a restaurant and they began taking pictures and posting them. So what do you think? Does he look like Keanu Reeves?

Speaker 3:

Oh, my gosh Does he look like Keanu Reeves. Oh my gosh, he looks like copy and paste.

Speaker 2:

He does. And somebody asked is John Wick still alive and well? Ah, footage of the street food vendor he's on the street working went viral in Thailand, prompting fans to speculate that the assassin has retired to live a simpler life. Of course it's a character, but they did some research and found out it's actually a German man visiting his wife in Thailand. He was there visiting and he was helping out a friend at, I guess, a food vendor location and people began taking pictures because he looks just like to me, like John Wick.

Speaker 3:

He looks identical to John Wick.

Speaker 2:

He does.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

So the question to you is have you ever been compared to a famous person as far as looks, say? You look just like this person. No, have you? I haven't either, but I told you once that, looking at your pictures, some of your old Facebook pictures you look a lot like Candace Cameron Bure from Fuller House.

Speaker 3:

No, I don't see it. You do you look like. Dwayne the Rock Johnson. It's the tattoos and the muscles.

Speaker 2:

What do you need, do you?

Speaker 3:

need cash, cash at me.

Speaker 2:

Do you need cash? Have you got like a loan you?

Speaker 3:

kind of look like Chris Hemsworth a little bit. One of the like you could be a Hemsworth.

Speaker 2:

I've turned you off because you're just completely out of control now. Are you going to settle down? Are you going to settle down? Okay, you're back on now. You muted me. I did because that's enough of that.

Speaker 3:

Leonardo DiCaprio.

Speaker 2:

You're off again, so we'll move on now. This will be me Holly's in the background, but I've never been compared to anyone. I haven't, I really haven't, but no, but I've never been compared to anyone.

Speaker 3:

I haven't, I really haven't.

Speaker 2:

But you know, I've seen a lot of people in this area who may have maybe a lookalike family member, yeah, or a friend.

Speaker 3:

Mm-hmm, I just put it on Facebook because I want to see.

Speaker 2:

I want to see if anybody looks like anybody, yeah, and don't just say that, yeah, I've been told I look like. Well, show us.

Speaker 3:

I'm going to tell you, Chandler from Gridiron looks just like Sydney Sweeney you are correct, she looks just like her.

Speaker 2:

She does.

Speaker 3:

And the whole face, her hair. We were at the Gridiron a few weeks ago.

Speaker 2:

She walked by. You would think it's Sydney Sweeney Seriously waiting on.

Speaker 3:

By the way, it's a huge compliment because Sydney Sweeney is absolutely stunning and I think Chandler is too. I think Chandler is probably one of the prettiest girls I've ever seen in real life.

Speaker 2:

So there's one. So, listeners, if you've ever been and said, hey, you look just like so-and-so, that's famous, show us, yeah, show us. Put a picture and do a side-by-side. What we could do is even the one who looks the most like the person you say we can give you a free t-shirt.

Speaker 2:

He did amazing. Okay, don't be goofy like Holly and make up stuff and if you don't even look like the person like you're saying, the Rock.

Speaker 3:

Patrick Dempsey.

Speaker 2:

Okay, I don't know what you. I think you've been into my Percocet. I guess I don't know.

Put the pictures up. We'll talk about them at 6.43.

Speaker 1:

And Holly On Alabama's Country, Giant WQSB.

Speaker 2:

All right, it's time for Holly's pile of stories. This morning Yellowstone News sort of CBS canceling shows and Home Alone up for sale. What all is going on today.

Speaker 3:

So Yellowstone prequel spinoff 1923 will be back for season two. Initially, 1923 was going to be a one season limited series, but it will be getting a second season after becoming such a big hit for the Yellowstone franchise.

Speaker 2:

I didn't realize it was only written for one season.

Speaker 3:

Me neither, but I loved. It Is 1923, the one with Elsa.

Speaker 2:

Uh, no, okay, that was the one with Tim McGraw.

Speaker 3:

Yes, 1883 was Tim McGraw, 1883, okay, and 23 was Harrison.

Speaker 2:

Ford, the older lady.

Speaker 3:

Yes, yes, I like that one that was good.

Speaker 2:

Well, very violent too, yeah, it was, but it's good. And I'll also read that they're not going to film it in Montana, like they do Yellowstone. They're moving it to Texas. I don't know why, but they're filming it at a different location. I don't like that.

Speaker 3:

I'm not sure why. Brutal year for shows when it comes to cancellations, or at least shows that are ending. This year, cbs has five shows ending or canceled in 24, and here they are Young Sheldon, which has really bummed some people out, yeah, blue Bloods, wow, ncis, hawaii, csi, vegas, and so Help Me, todd.

Speaker 2:

That's some big shows, I know.

Speaker 3:

I'm surprised.

Speaker 2:

They're losing some big shows this year.

Speaker 3:

I'm really shocked. I've heard so many people on Facebook. I've read. I should say yeah, so many people are bummed about Young Sheldon. Yeah, I never watched that.

Speaker 2:

I didn't either. I loved Big Bang Theory, but I never watched Young.

Speaker 3:

Sheldon yeah, I did too and suburb in Illinois where Kevin McAllister lived in and Home Alone is up for sale. It just hit the market for guess how much.

Speaker 2:

No idea $5.25 million. How big is this thing?

Speaker 3:

It's a five bedroom, six bath with 9,126 square feet.

Speaker 2:

What makes it so valuable?

Speaker 3:

Probably because it was used in Home Alone. Home. Alone, and it may be the area too. Didn't they film in New York?

Speaker 2:

Everything's more expensive in New York, part of it, but this home is in Illinois.

Speaker 3:

Oh, that's right. That's right, chicago Okay.

Speaker 2:

Your short-term memory keeps him there.

Speaker 3:

Hi, I'm. Dory.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but I wonder if all the little traps and things that he planted in the house for the two guys breaking in are still in there. I wonder if they have anything in there to do with the movie that's left or if it's all just a regular house.

Speaker 3:

I don't know. I bet they have some stuff, that's expensive though $5.2 million yeah $5.5 million for that house. It's just a five-bedroom, six-bathroom, 9,000 square feet.

Speaker 2:

Not seeing it.

Speaker 3:

Uh-uh. And on his way to perform at a Coldplay concert in the UK over the weekend, chris Martin, who is the lead singer of Coldplay, saw an older fan struggling to walk heading towards the venue. He pulled the car over and he invited the fan to hop in and he gave him a lift. Oh my goodness. Sandra Glenn was her name. She's a 64-year-old fan with severe osteoarthritis, and she's now an even bigger fan.

Speaker 2:

Can you imagine You're going to the Taylor Swift show and you're walking from your car to get to the venue? You probably had to park a mile away. Taylor Swift pulls up and says hey, let me give you a ride.

Speaker 3:

I wouldn't make it.

Speaker 2:

I would pass away, I would go that is amazing. The lead singer the person you're going to see sing pulls over and says let me give you a ride to my show.

Speaker 3:

Do you remember that TikTok I showed you yesterday of Mary where she fell backwards and she said I'm dead?

Speaker 2:

The lady in the nursing home.

Speaker 3:

That's me, that would be me.

Speaker 2:

I'm dead.

Speaker 3:

She just throws herself back and says I'm dead. She was funny.

Speaker 2:

Yeah yeah, but that's a great story. Yeah, 654, your birthdays are next.

Speaker 3:

Melissa Riggs says me every day, every single morning. So many people on here, thank you, thank you for the comments we appreciate that.

Speaker 2:

Thank you, yeah, and we were talking America's Got Talent, my favorite show. Now you said you watched last night too.

Speaker 3:

I did because you've talked this up. This was not a show that I've watched before. I did watch the end of last summer because, that's when I came into work here.

Speaker 2:

So what do you honestly think To me? I told you it's a show for pretty much the entire family and it's just taking people, ordinary people, and giving them a chance to be special for two minutes and maybe even go on to getting a career out of doing something they've always dreamed of doing, like last night. Do you watch last night?

Speaker 3:

yeah, I did. So. What was your thoughts on the show? I watched it last night and I loved. I think my thoughts are they chose the right golden buzzers yeah, so they had two last night yeah every person gets two this year.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah. And Terry Crews was first with a comedian from Zimbabwe. And he was hilarious, he is great, I told you. I think he's got a chance to win it all because how unique he's from Zimbabwe. He's hilarious, the material he used was great and he could use that kind of material every week on about how poor they were in coming to America and how things are different.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, he was just all over the place. He was wild, he was good, he was so funny. He was so funny, he was probably. I know the other one, the other golden buzzer is good, but I think Zimbabwe is my favorite, I do too.

Speaker 2:

And the lady who walked, the ballet dancer, who walked on her toes on the top of bottles yeah, like beer bottles, yeah, or wine bottles, and they were not put in cement or stone.

Speaker 3:

No, they were just sitting on a table, just loose no on a platform.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

It was up high. She had to climb upstairs to get to it.

Speaker 2:

She walked across about what? Seven, eight, nine of them, yeah, on the tips of her toes. Yeah, her toes without falling. That was amazing.

Speaker 3:

The magician who looked like he was moving his fingers had no idea how he did that. See those. Aggravate me, you like them.

Speaker 2:

They aggravate me. I wanted to figure out how they do it but I could not.

Speaker 3:

I think that's why it irks me.

Speaker 2:

The little dancer, who was a sweet little girl one minute. Then she walked off stage and changed. She came back in. It looked like something out of the Exorcist.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that was weird, but it was good.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

I'm not into horror. Yeah, you have to be careful when you said that word on radio. Yeah, it's tough.

Speaker 2:

It's tough to say Horror yeah, horror yeah. And go back to the other Golden Buzz. We're going to play this one performing. He got the golden buzzer and he's a janitor from my school and he flew the first time he's ever been on a plane and when he walked out there you thought, okay, he's probably gonna be okay if he's held in the shell. He did uh journey and he sounds a lot like steve perry.

Speaker 2:

Yeah he sounds just like him and here's a piece of this guy. He's probably, what would you say, 40s, 50s, 50s, maybe 60s, and he nailed it. Here's a piece of his performance.

Speaker 4:

Here's a piece of his performance. Just a small town girl Living in a lonely world. She took a midnight train going anywhere. Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit. He took them and that train going anywhere.

Speaker 3:

He's a janitor.

Speaker 2:

He is good, here we go. One more piece.

Speaker 4:

Cigarette in a smoky room, so amazing Smell, a light on the tip of you, oh, a smile that can share the night. It goes on and on, and on and on.

Speaker 2:

Strangers where they tear Up and down the front of our dead side. That's good stuff, that's good. And to watch his expression he looks in the crowd and they are standing on their feet and he has tears. He gets a golden buzzer and just breaks down crying.

Speaker 3:

I know, but let me be negative Nancy here. What other songs is he going to sound good on?

Speaker 2:

It's probably going to be Journey songs.

Speaker 3:

It's going to have to be limited. That's my American Owl brain thinking over here.

Speaker 2:

Because you've got to be able to perform in Vegas if you're the winner At least a 45 to 60 minute show, and can you pull up enough material to make it worth watching for 60 minutes?

Speaker 3:

He sounded just like Journey, though that was wild.

Speaker 2:

So anyway, it's back on again next Tuesday and time for words of wisdom, the quote of the day even. Have you some music. Are you ready?

Speaker 3:

Speaker 3:

Yeah, be quiet and let me tell you these words of wisdom Okay, no one can whistle a symphony and takes a whole orchestra to play it. Oh, it's a deep sound I love that. Yeah, you can't do it all by yourself. Oh, it's a deep sound. I love that. Yeah, you can't do it all by yourself. No, like this radio station.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

One person had to come in and do all this. There's no way it can make it work.

Speaker 2:

It's like any kind of sport. It's a team. Yep, it's a team.

Speaker 3:

It's a team effort. It makes it work.

Speaker 2:

Speaker 2:

I don't want a spicy donut.

Speaker 3:

No, but the new limited edition peach candy lemonade slurpee drink blends the sweetness of peach with the tartness of lemonade to make it the ultimate summer frozen treat.

Speaker 2:

I'm out on yeah, zero for three Yep 726.

Speaker 1:

Barry and Holly on Alabama's Country, Giant WQSB. Come on, man.

Speaker 2:

Mornings. Come on man Story. Okay, now exercising. I've been exercising my left arm from surgery Three times a day Rehab. Thank you to Hannah and the gang at TOC doing a fantastic job. She's nice and easy. It's hard to be easy when somebody's got that kind of pain, but she's doing a great job.

Speaker 3:

That's not what you told me. You're being nice. Okay, I cried. You told me it was awful.

Speaker 2:

They had to get me out of the floor. I was in the fetal position had to make me go home. No, no, but as far as exercising, but I'm still trying to walk and I do. But according to a survey out this morning, 60% of Americans believe they get all the exercise they need without going to the gym. They think that doing household chores of some type keeps them in shape, so they don't have to exercise. Okay, do you think doing household chores is the same as exercising?

Speaker 3:

Okay, when I used to have an Apple Watch, when I used to be a billionaire, I would get a notification on my phone, on my watch, like hey, you're exercising, do you want to log it? When I'm cleaning the house, when I'm scrubbing the toilet?

Speaker 2:

You are moving your arms.

Speaker 3:

Or switching the laundry over. And I was telling you, my body doesn't know, hey, she's just switching laundry over, let's not burn calories. It's thinking, hey, we're working, we're moving, we're burning calories, we're going, thinking, hey, we're working, we're moving, we're burning calories, we're going. But I don't think it should take the place of exercise, if that makes sense.

Speaker 2:

I agree, because they broke it in and said okay, exactly what do you do and what do you consider exercise? And they said walking around the neighborhood, yes, that's not a chore. Doing yard work yes, I'd say that is an exercise that's good exercise they. You may be raking or mowing the yard yes, you're exercising. If you're pushing it, if you're riding it no, you're not working it. Walking the dog yes, exercise Grocery shopping, putting them in and out, I think so yeah. Well, you are pushing a cart.

Speaker 2:

You're working the arms. You You're lifting the whatever off the shelf.

Speaker 3:

I would vote that as a yes.

Speaker 2:

Toting in groceries.

Speaker 3:

Anything that makes me break out into a sweat, if I'm putting physical force in, is considered exercise. So grocery shopping is.

Speaker 2:

I think grocery shopping should be an Olympic sport. Here's what I mean, because if you ever go to the grocery store and you get, say, four or five or six bags, my goal is to get them all in the house in one trip, one trip. So it don't matter if I have to put three bags on one hand, three on the other.

Speaker 3:

It's got to be on one trip.

Speaker 2:

Got the other one in my mouth or whatever. I consider that like a gold medal event if I can successfully get it into the house without dropping it and spilling it or breaking it. Anywhere you can hang a bag is fair game Pretty much, I guess I'm picturing, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Anywhere. Anywhere you can hang a bag Ear, nose, tongue, yeah, head put one around your neck? I don't know. I'm going to tell you, though, I do the same exact thing, and as a single mama too. Grocery shopping is exercise. It is. It's hard. It's hard work, especially when you're out of everything and you've got to get out, like the water, like the case of water and the gallon of tea and the gallon of milk.

Speaker 2:

That's true, that's true, you're lifting.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, the different foods. It's so much easier to go grocery shopping with somebody, which is why I make you go with me most Fridays.

Speaker 2:

Yeah because it's tough. Okay, two more. Okay, 40% say that gardening is a form of exercise. Absolutely, I agree. Absolutely, because you're working the hoe.

Speaker 3:

Oh no, Different hoe no Working the weasel Working the weasel?

Speaker 2:

No, no, out out in the garden, but you're bending, you're pulling and you're pulling at weeds and you're whatever. Yeah, okay, and also 10% thing that getting kids ready for school is a workout in itself.

Speaker 3:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

Picture the young ones You're having to chase down in the ground. It's a yes for me Hold down. Put their clothes on Uh-huh Comb their hair Uh ground. It's a yes for me Hold down, put their clothes on, comb their hair, that's tough.

Speaker 3:

Brush teeth, wipe butts, put socks on put socks back on put the shirt back on. Put the diaper back on.

Speaker 2:

That's an Olympic sport, that's a workout.

Speaker 3:

Man, I don't miss those days, but I miss them being little. I wish I could go back and visit, like, just hold. Yes, I think that's what grandbabies are for, I agree. I think that's why people love grandbabies so much.

Speaker 2:

It is because when you finish holding, you're through. Here you go. See you tomorrow.

Speaker 3:

Toss it off to the side. Bye-bye, goodbye.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah. So anyway, 60% think that chores keep them in shape. What's your thought? I think that helps. Exercise. Still got to walk, you still need the better cardio, you've got to do some other stuff and things like that.

Speaker 3:

Well, you're not going to get a who's a female actress with a really good build, simone Biles. You're not going to be Simone Biles from carrying in the groceries. No, but it's healthy to move your body. So if that's all you can do, hey, Do what you can.

Speaker 2:

If that's the best you can do, then that's fine. Do something, just keep moving. Yeah, it's 743.

Speaker 1:

Wqsb Mornings with Barry and Holly.

Speaker 2:

Time for Holly's Knowledge Nuggets. You know you ask people what they like about the show. Many people comment on this because it's little tidbits, little nuggets of information that you may not know, you may have heard before, and we're giving you stuff just to take with you throughout the day and share with others like you got three of them today.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, just put this in your pocket.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Before they're five years old, 75% of children will have an ear infection.

Speaker 2:

I believe that Absolutely that is 100% true. Donald Reed had to have two surgeries when he was little.

Speaker 3:

Tubes Did he have tubes?

Speaker 2:

Tubes put in twice.

Speaker 3:

Oh yeah, but didn't they make a big difference? They did, yeah, huge difference. They stopped crying almost immediately.

Speaker 2:

And the doctors said this has really been big over the past 20, 25 years, or I guess a little bit longer, that so many kids now have ear infections.

Speaker 3:

Both of my girls had tubes and carried constant ear infections. I don't know why, but anyway. So 55% of people with a sunroof in their car never use it. I don't understand why I would have that thing open all the time.

Speaker 2:

I don't have a car with a sunroof, but I used to have a car with what they call T-tops.

Speaker 1:

Mary and Holly on Alabama's country giant WQSB.

Speaker 2:

WQSB's country music news. Well, the big story this morning is Rolling Stone magazine. Now they released a list earlier this week of what they consider the top 200 country songs of all time. You know, this is tough. If you go back to the beginning of country music they included, uh, back from day one country music to like today yeah, there's even a song on there now that just fell off the charts a few days ago.

Speaker 2:

Which one? Uh, beyonce. Oh okay, I've got problems with them saying, okay, these are the best 200 of all time. Uh, beyonce's texas hold'em is a good song, but these are the best 200 of all time Beyonce's Texas Hold'em is a good song, but is it one of the best of all time?

Speaker 3:

No, no, no, not even close, not even close.

Speaker 2:

Who did this Rolling Stone Magazine? I don't know. It doesn't say what they looked at exactly, if they have charts or just the musical taste. I don't know.

Speaker 3:

But number one, okay, okay, I'll give them this one, it's a good one.

Speaker 2:

Dolly parton's jolene oh yeah, they consider the best country song of all time. That's a good one. That's a good one. Hard to argue with that one. Uh, then number two is johnny cash. I'll walk the line good um I'm sorry. Number two is patsy clines crazy. Three was hank williams. I'm so lonesome I could Cry. And then George Jones he Stopped Loving Her. Today comes in at number five.

Speaker 3:

He stopped loving her today.

Speaker 2:

Yeah so there's some good ones. So there's some good ones. Yeah, I'm sure. Johnny Cash was two, patsy Cline three, hank Williams was four, then George Jones was five.

Speaker 3:

No.

Speaker 2:

Then some of the other ones in the top ten. Ray Charles, you Don't Know Me, there was number six. I Don't Know that Song.

Speaker 3:

I don't even know. I've never even heard of that song.

Speaker 2:

Okay, number seven, Jimmy Rogers, Standing on the.

Speaker 3:

Corner, I don't think I've ever heard that that's an old one.

Speaker 2:

I think yeah, eight Tammy Wynette Stand by your man. Oh God, good song. Number nine Merle Haggard Mama Tried, Okay, it's Amarillo by Morning. Those are good, but then to get into something a little unusual, Taylor Swift has two songs in the top 200. Mean is at number 20 on the chart.

Speaker 3:

You know I'm a huge Swifty, but I don't think that Mean is a good song.

Speaker 2:

And I don't think it should be in the top 200 of all time.

Speaker 3:

I don't think it should either.

Speaker 2:

The other one is Tim McGraw. Not of all time. No, her Tim McGraw song.

Speaker 3:

That's not even a good one, that's no.

Speaker 2:

God. Okay, other ones. Number 30, shania Twain. Man, I Feel Like a Woman.

Speaker 3:

Yes, okay, that's pretty high. That's way up there, that one needs to be up there.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 3:

Because you can kick the doors down on that one.

Speaker 2:

I'd rather have the number 35.

Speaker 3:

I bet that that's the number one drunk karaoke song in the world.

Speaker 2:

I bet you're right. Okay, also, the dance. I don't have the number. It made the top 200. Alabama has a song in there. Oh good, alabama Mountain Music, number 61. That should be way higher, way higher than 61.

Speaker 3:

That should be way higher.

Speaker 2:

And then you got Beyonce down there at 192. Takes a hold of them. Come on, man.

Speaker 3:

Did you happen to see what number 200 was Do?

Speaker 2:

you remember I think it was a Brad Paisley song and I'm not familiar which song. It was Okay, but it's an unusual list because you've got some. You go from Shania Twain to a song from the 1940s, things like that. But I get it. You've got to cover a wide area of history so it's tough on knowing which song to put in there.

Speaker 3:

So you're telling me that since 1940, of all the country music songs released, Beyonce is in the top 200 of those Exactly.

Speaker 2:

That's a joke, it really is.

Speaker 3:

But it's real on the list.

Speaker 2:

It is, it's on their list. It's not our list. It's Rolling Stone magazine. It's on their list. It's on their list. It's not our list. It's Rolling Stone magazine.

Speaker 3:

It's on their list, but it's laughable.

Speaker 2:

It's worth at some point pulling up on Facebook, pulling up the list and looking at it and seeing what's all on there. Yeah, there's some great stuff on there, but 192, beyonce nope, it shouldn't be on there. Top Within the sound of silence, top of the quote of the day. It's a quote of the day. It's words of wisdom, things you can think about, things you need to maybe help you smile. Some of them are funny. Some of these are kind of deep thinking quotes of the day, like this one. This one is a good one from Halford Luckock. I have no idea who that is.

Speaker 3:

No idea.

Speaker 2:

That's a great quote.

Speaker 3:

Good quote. Though no one can whistle a symphony, it takes a whole orchestra to play it and it makes a lot of sense it does.

Speaker 2:

So when you go to like a symphony's playing, yeah, uh, no one person makes a symphony, it takes a whole big a group 30, 40, 50 people, same thing. If you try to whistle what they're playing, you can't do it, it takes the whole group. It's like a team, uh, baseballball, football, basketball, sport, anything Businesses not one person makes a go, it takes everybody.

Speaker 3:

Absolutely Especially here. We have so many people that wear so many different hats and play so many different roles. I'm on-air personality. I'm digital director. I'm babysitter of some in here. I'm mother to all. You have tons of jobs.
