Speaker 1:

Nothing at all. She's the only way I can function. Yeah, I wonder if she knows that today is the last day, though, to enter a Father's Day contest.

Speaker 6:

I don't know if she knows that, but you better tell them about it.

Speaker 1:

This is it Now. Something big is happening here. This is going that. I know of that. I remember.

Speaker 6:

No, but I feel like Jamie Sinners is very worthy to be the first he is, so tell everybody what Jamie's doing.

Speaker 1:

Okay, we're giving away the lawnmower courtesy of Bonds Appliance.

Speaker 4:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Bonds Appliance Loan in Garden and Guntersville. It's our Father's Day contest and Jamie doesn't live too far from the radio station so he has the Toro Time Cutter Max 50-inch riding mower at his house right now. His plan is to. He's already called the police and they're going to escort him as he rides the lawnmower on some of the back roads to the radio station. So about between I don't know how fast it goes sometime roughly about 7.

Speaker 6:

He should pull into the parking lot Between 7 and 10 today, 10 tonight, that is.

Speaker 1:

So we're going to give you a heads up. If you're going by the radio station about 7 am roughly and you see police cars in the parking lot with the lights flashing, it's just the lawnmower being delivered. We're not doing anything worse than usual. We're not being arrested, we're not Nobody's in here streaking around the building naked. But we have a special guest coming. Jamie Centers is going to be driving the lawnmower. Knowing him, he'll have his shirt off.

Speaker 1:

Well, if he doesn't have it off, I bet we could talk him into it, I bet we could, and in his text he sent me he says he also has a surprise for us.

Speaker 6:

Oh no, I'm worried, as long as it's not eggs.

Speaker 1:

Well, he's the best pickled egg maker in the South. He is.

Speaker 6:

He specializes.

Speaker 1:

He is I mean, jamie's got some huge eggs that he likes to pickle and he brings them to us and they are good. You don't like them, do you?

Speaker 6:

No, I love pickled eggs. I think it makes my skin crawl to watch you eat. I've watched you eat one, okay, and it's like ugh, I don't think I'm eating it unusual.

Speaker 1:

There's only really one way to eat an egg.

Speaker 6:

I know, but they remind me of the pickled pig's feet no, but I won't touch those. It's the same thing.

Speaker 1:

No egg and a pig feet. Totally different. No, it's fine Egg comes out of a chicken. Pig's foot comes out of a pig's leg.

Speaker 6:

They just chopped it. Why do people eat those? They just chopped it. A lot of people ate those.

Speaker 1:

I guess you were down to using that or dirt.

Speaker 6:

No, people go into the gas station and buy those. That's disgusting, I know, but we can't say anything about it because our listeners, ate them. And they like them and they like them we can't offend anybody, I know. Don't tell anybody.

Speaker 1:

Okay, okay, fine, okay, so that's going to be happening this morning. By the way, this is the last day to qualify a dad for the Father's Day. We'll be announcing the winner tomorrow morning. Midnight. Tonight is the cutoff. You go to our website, wqsbcom, you upload a picture of dad. If you're dad, you upload a picture of yourself sitting on the lawnmower, pushing a lawnmower, and we've had some who send pictures and saying, hey, we don't have dad, dad doesn't have a lawnmower.

Speaker 1:

Here's his picture. Sorry, those can't win. The only rule was one rule dad must have a lawnmower in the picture somehow. Even if you have to Photoshop it from whatever and just put it on there, that is fine.

Speaker 6:

It don't even have to be pretty, no.

Speaker 1:

It can be as goofy as you want it to be, we don't care. And here's people putting some great stories.

Speaker 6:

Thank you for sharing about dad, we, I love reading these.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, these are great. This is not going to be the winner, is not going to be judged on the best essay yeah it's going to be a random drawing yeah, just a random draw their computer set up to where you mash a button and say choose a winner. It gives us a winner.

Speaker 6:

Boom, there's a winner yeah, and I mean, if we had to pick, it'd be absolutely impossible.

Speaker 1:

Impossible. There's some great stories and some great dads around this area and we appreciate everybody taking some time and honoring dad and telling us a little something about him.

Speaker 6:

We appreciate that. Yeah, we hope that you share as much love as you showed on the post. We hope that you share that with them this Sunday.

Speaker 1:

You know that's a special thing I would show dad I. You know that's a special thing, I would show Dad. I said Dad, I sent this to QSP. You can go to our website, pull it up and let Dad look at his picture and read what you wrote about it. Absolutely, that is special.

Speaker 6:

That is special. It is yeah, but you know yeah.

Speaker 1:

We have until midnight tonight to do this. Be sure to include Dad's name in it somewhere, so it'll be easier for us, when we announce winner tomorrow, to contact dad and somebody's gonna win.

Speaker 6:

All you gotta do is submit a picture, so you might as well do it and their lawnmower is valued at thirty seven hundred dollars and it's, and you're about to see what it looks like it's about to be here.

Speaker 1:

In about 45 minutes we're gonna try to facebook live the we are the appearance and maybe a little creepy crawling, like I don't know it goes pretty fast, does?

Speaker 6:

it, does it have they used to have a. Now I haven't been on a lawnmower in about 10 years, so don't judge me guys. All the men out there Isn't there like speeds on a lawnmower, like a rabbit and a turtle?

Speaker 1:

Some of them have it, didn't they have those they?

Speaker 6:

did yeah. You're right, they had a rabbit and a turtle. Yeah, and I always remember I would go all the way up to the top of the rabbit. Rabbit yeah.

Speaker 1:

And then keep pushing a little further.

Speaker 6:

Uh-huh and go as fast as I could Do. You remember that? I sure might have had it so they don't have a rabbit and a turtle on them anymore. I don't have a riding horse.

Speaker 1:

I don't know, further up you push it, the faster it's going to go.

Speaker 6:

No, then you need a rabbit. Show them, rabbit is fast. Okay, rabbit is fast.

Speaker 1:

All right. Anyway, a lot more will be arriving here in about 45 minutes. How do you know? I just know it's Thursday, June 13th. Here's other things you need to know and need to think about this morning what you got.

Speaker 6:

Today is National Weed, your Garden Day.

Speaker 1:

No, no, I hate that.

Speaker 6:

Oh yes, oh, yes, you have to weed your garden today. Today is National Weed.

Speaker 1:

Your Garden Day.

Speaker 6:

You have to do it.

Speaker 1:

Every year. Mom and Daddy had a huge garden and their job in the summertime. The kids would have to go out there and pull weeds and all get the hoe, and every time it went from pulling up a simple weed to having a dirt clod thrown at your head, to an all that brawl broke out in the garden to when nothing was safe Rocks. When you throw a rock, you knew then it was about to be ugly. That's when daddy's got to get involved. When the rock got thrown.

Speaker 6:

Oh, daddy got involved.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, when you throw a rock at somebody, you throw a dirt clod, that's bad enough. You throw a rock, that's going to be a butt whooping.

Speaker 6:

Well, I don't want you to confuse this with National Naked Gardening Day, because that falls on the 1st of May.

Speaker 1:

That would be even worse. If you were throwing a dirt clod and somebody's naked, you could do more damage.

Speaker 6:

And the rock.

Speaker 1:

At least you got the pants to slow it down some when it hits you.

Speaker 6:

But if you're just naked, it's just there Hanging all out for the world to see.

Speaker 1:

And I've never understood why people choose to somehow get naked and go work in the garden.

Speaker 6:

Is that a real holiday? It?

Speaker 1:

is Very First Saturday of May. It's National Naked Gardening Day, true? Who does that?

Speaker 6:

Don't know, I don't want my neighbors doing that. No, my neighbors don't want me doing that. No, nobody wants anybody doing that naked. Can I just real quick speaking of National Garden Day. I have a pumpkin patch growing, Do you, and I'll keep you updated on it. I'm afraid that it's going to get fried up this next week, but I'm going to keep you updated on my pumpkin patch.

Speaker 1:

You've got to give it a lot of water this week because it's going to be dry this week. Yeah.

Speaker 6:

Well, pepsi and TV chef Bobby Flay debut a cola cologne inspired by grilling it. Cologne inspired by grilling, it's called Smoke. It's a grilling inspired cola on oh you get it. Cologne, cologne. Cola on Gotcha, cologne, cologne. It's the world's first ever cola on, designed to evoke the scent combination of Pepsi and a flame-fired grill. You can try Smoke for yourself at select Walmarts, so you can that face you're making. Does Pepsi have a smell? I don't know. I'm trying to think it does have a smell, does it? Yeah, smells like Pepsi.

Speaker 1:

Now, I love the smell of a grill. I love anything cooking on a grill, but I don't think that I want to smell like a grill all day long. Though Do you want to smell like a good old rack of ribs? I am so turned on right now.

Speaker 6:

Oh my gosh, that Pepsi smells so good it smells like a big old Boston butt Wow. A Boston butt Took me home or lose me forever. Oh, not the Boston butt. Well, here's something to think about.

Speaker 1:

Okay, what's wrong? You seem hesitant about reading this one. I can't do it. Okay, I'll read your script Just do my thing to think about. Okay, a friend of Holly's told her that she took a laxative with holy water. She's trying to start a religious movement. How's that I couldn't do it?

Speaker 5:

6-17. Mary and Holly on Alabama's country giant WQSB.

Speaker 1:

WQSB getting Chesney to take her home Number two this week on the chart, probably going to number one next week. And I tell you when Post Malone hits number one it may be there a while. It's number three on the country chart this week. I had some help and it's coming up in a few minutes.

Speaker 6:

We talked about this yesterday. We don't know who's going to be next. I said do you think?

Speaker 1:

Jelly Roll will go next. He's number one now.

Speaker 6:

I said do you think he'll stay? No, no. And then I said do you think Post will go number one?

Speaker 1:

I no, and then I said do you think Post will go number one? I think Kenny Chesney, because these are based on how much airplay they get on radio stations. I think Chesney's going to hit number one because he hasn't had a number one song in quite a few years, so I think they're going to at least help him get one more. That's the way it works in the business, and then I think when Post Malone hits the next week.

Speaker 6:

It may be there two, three, four weeks.

Speaker 1:

Oh, We'll see what's the longest you've ever seen a song. Six, I believe, was when Meant to Be by Bebe Rexha in Florida Georgia Line. Yeah, it's been going for six weeks.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, okay, I remember that one, yeah.

Speaker 1:

That was probably the longest one of recent, and Luke Holmes has had some that say three or four weeks at number one.

Speaker 4:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

But six weeks, that's over a month and a half yeah.

Speaker 6:

That's a lot. Yeah, I'm so glad Post went country.

Speaker 1:

Yep, I am too, and there's a lot of talk about his album coming out. People have listened to it and said it's good.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, oh, hey, we need to mention one thing, yeah. We saw something on the news this morning about dogs and asphalt that we need to tell you.

Speaker 1:

I've never thought about this. We've never thought about this before. It's like your paws forecast. Think about this. When it gets hot, like it's going to be starting today, when you take your dogs out, say it's 90 degrees today, which is going to hit 90. You add about 25 to 30 degrees to concrete. That's what it feels like on their paws. Then you add another. It's about 35 to 40 degrees if it's asphalt. That's what it feels like on their paws. So if it's 90 degree day when your dogs are walking our cats, it's going to be about 120. Feel like to the paws. So if you take your dog for a walk, be careful, find a grassy area or an area away from sidewalks and asphalt yeah because it may be fine for you because you got your shoes on right.

Speaker 6:

It's not fine for them I've never thought about that thought has never crossed my mind no man.

Speaker 1:

Hey, we'll talk more about wolf's talk coming up, which we had a good day yesterday. We're now at 12 654 pounds. That is awesome. That's awesome. That's how much dog food we've collected. But speaking of animals, a story come out from a veterinary pet insurance vpi, which I guess you can't have insurance on your pets, oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

I guess for some of these expensive pets I never have. They're the nation's oldest and largest provider of pet health insurance. Anyway, they went through some of the names of people who have filed insurance claims and stuff and they went through 465,000 names and found the most unusual dog names and most unusual cat names.

Speaker 7:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

Okay, the score for some of the dog names. These are unusual. There's all kinds of names, but the most unusual name they found, they all voted and said Peanut Wigglebutt. Oh, is somebody named their dog Peanut Wigglebutt? And they said that's the most unusual name they have.

Speaker 6:

Welcoming. So Peanut Wigglebutt who would?

Speaker 1:

want to name their dog that Come here, Peanut Wigglebutt. Come here, boy.

Speaker 6:

I think number two is worse.

Speaker 1:

Zippity-Doo-Dog, d-a-w-g Doo-Dog. How about number three?

Speaker 6:

Bark.

Speaker 1:

Twain that's cute. That's cute, bark Twain. Number four is Mr Buddy Pickles. That's stupid. And Number four is Mr Buddy Pickles that's stupid.

Speaker 6:

And five is Indiana Bones. I like that one, 70 and a joke, but I have to say some of the cat ones are even better.

Speaker 1:

I have a lot of cats and this one, the number one, is Katy Perry.

Speaker 3:

Oh, Instead of.

Speaker 1:

Katy Perry. I like that, yeah. Number two is Kit Kat. No, just plain and simple no. How about three Benatar?

Speaker 6:

That's good.

Speaker 1:

Pat Benatar. Good Four is probably one of your favorites, Since you love Celine Dion.

Speaker 6:

Every night in my dreams, celine Dion, feline, feline Dion.

Speaker 1:

And five is Kittney Spears instead of Brittany Brittany. So what about you? Do you ever have any unusual dog or cat names?

Speaker 6:

No, we always had. So I had a Maltese and Mama went crazy creative with this name.

Speaker 1:

yeah, tisa tisa, wow tisa because she's a maltese.

Speaker 6:

Oh yeah, yeah, we've had a sasha. Yeah, we've had a libby. Uh, layla, I named layla after eric clapton song. Love that one, that was my dog what was your first pet's name?

Speaker 1:

Tisa? Tisa was the very first.

Speaker 6:

Tisa, I bet you did On Portwood Drive, isn't?

Speaker 1:

that weird. No matter how old you were, most people probably most can remember the very first pet they had the pet's name.

Speaker 6:

Well, you know, that's your star name. Really, your first name is the name of your first pet. Oh, and your last name is the street that you grew up on, so mine would be Tisa Portwood. Wow, that's my alter ego. Tisa Portwood, what's yours?

Speaker 1:

Well, my first pet was Snowball. Okay, snowball's a bulldog.

Speaker 6:

Okay, what was your street?

Speaker 1:

We lived on a county road back in the day. We didn't have streets. Back in Crossbow and Painter, you just had a county road.

Speaker 6:

Okay, so you would be Snowball County.

Speaker 1:

Row, small county. Yeah, I'm just glad you don't. My cat that came later in life wasn't my first, because that would be weird.

Speaker 6:

What was it?

Speaker 1:

Reagan named it after Puss in Boots and we didn't go in. No. We had two of them. We had two cat twins.

Speaker 6:

Oh, I see the road we're going down. I'm honest, come here, kitty. She did.

Speaker 1:

And the day she was outside in the yard looking for it, calling the cat's name, that's when the neighbor said hey, you might want to rename your cat because your daughter's out there saying has anybody seen my yeah, and that's what. And I don't mean boots either. So we named it, the.

Speaker 6:

Did you rename?

Speaker 1:

it, we did the spot.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, okay, that's much safer.

Speaker 1:

We had to go with spot.

Speaker 6:

Did Reagan protest? She didn't understand, yeah, why.

Speaker 1:

She said I love puss in boots. I love puss in boots. I said, yeah, that's great, you can keep boots. We got to rename us so we did.

Speaker 6:

Okay, I'm not going to fall.

Speaker 1:

Okay, but I'm running. Okay, this is a shortcut. There's a door that you can come straight through.

Speaker 1:

All 10 yards of it. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6:

Jamie, thank you.

Speaker 4:

You're so very welcome.

Speaker 6:

But he didn't come with his shirt off. We were hoping that we'd have a little spin in action.

Speaker 1:

I think the police told him that wouldn't be allowed because too many kids in the area.

Speaker 6:

The police, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

That makes sense. They don't want to affect kids for years to come.

Speaker 4:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

But, Jamie, I was telling Holly, we've now hit 500 people have now sent in their photos for the Father's Day contest. That's great people have now sent in their photos for the Father's Day contest. That's great, very, very great.

Speaker 1:

Blue Tacoma. It's Russell Dickerson, 712. It's going to be a beautiful day Sunshine today going to hit 90. It's going to feel more like midnight as well. Before we get into that, we can tell you exactly how it's going to feel because we have this Cannonball. It's going to be hot. I can hear the pool right now.

Speaker 1:

Oh, yeah, if you're going to be out by the pool today, you need to know how hot it's going to be for the brand new Cannonball pool party forecast. So what do you think? One out of five, one being the lowest amount of cannonballs you should be able to do on a day like this. But today's going to be sunny. How many out of what do you think? Three, four, five.

Speaker 6:

I give today four out of five cannonballs. Yeah, because we do have a 20% chance of a pop-up shower.

Speaker 1:

Just a slight chance. Yesterday was kind of cloudy so it was kind of ugly.

Speaker 6:

That's why we did a four out of five yesterday because it was a little cloudy, today is going to be pretty. Hold on, I just got a weather alert. Oh my, goodness. Really yeah. It says from WAFF heat index climbing into the mid-upper 90s, which is exactly what we're saying.

Speaker 1:

Perfect pool water.

Speaker 6:

Hey, rach Pool water kind of day, yeah, rach.

Speaker 1:

So four out of five cannonballs today.

Speaker 6:

So we'll have another one coming up tomorrow morning.

Speaker 1:

All right, are you ready for the words of wisdom? It's time for the quote of the day. We try to find something that maybe, if you're struggling or maybe you're having a good day For the quote of the day, we try to find something that maybe, if you're struggling, or maybe if you're having a good day, you can even have a better day If we'll give you a quote. Sometimes these make you smile, Sometimes they make you think, Sometimes they make you laugh. What have you got today?

Speaker 6:

Sometimes they make you cry. That's true, and I don't. I'm going to preface this with saying I don't know of anybody within the last two to four years that hasn't hit some kind of depression wall. Absolutely everybody has struggled, and you are not alone, no. So let me read the quote from james rachel's healing doesn't mean the damage never existed.

Speaker 6:

It means the damage no longer controls your life that's true and I love this quote because I think we all go through things that hurt and that are painful, but you can get past it to where it doesn't control your thoughts day to day, because you've got to rule your mind or it's going to rule you sometimes your mind makes you feel guilty.

Speaker 1:

If you're healing and thinking, well, people now think that it no longer bothers me that I've lost somebody or someone, I'm over it. Then people think they feel guilty for healing and smiling and joking and laughing. People think, well, you know, look at them, they just moved on. Well, yeah, you have to try your best to move on. But just because you're healing doesn't mean that it's nothing bad has happened. It means that it no longer controls you and you're doing your best to move forward. You've got to. You've got to move forward.

Speaker 6:

You've got to move forward.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, are you going to just waste away and sit in your own misery and you're never going to improve? You've got to try. I know sometimes you may think there's no way I can get past this. No way, I know I did. A few years ago. I thought there's no way I can ever get past this. But with the help of God, friends, prayer, you can do it.

Speaker 6:

You can do it.

Speaker 1:

You just got to believe. You got to keep trying.

Speaker 6:

And if you need resources for mental health or any kind of other issues, reach out to us via Facebook Messenger.

Speaker 1:

Absolutely, it's 715.

Speaker 5:

WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly Come on man Story.

Speaker 1:

Now, what do you think about this? A restaurant in Louisiana. They're offering kids a unique summer day camp to work at Chick-fil-A. Oh, but you pay them to work at Chick-fil-A.

Speaker 6:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

Here's the thinking. From July 22nd to 24th, kids between 5 and 12 years old have a chance to learn dining room hosting and customer service skills. Children attend for that one day. The fee is $35. The fee includes a kid's meal, t-shirt, name tag and snack and you get the supervision showing you proper customer service and the way that the job works.

Speaker 6:

Basically 100% yes.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 6:

What's the age range?

Speaker 1:

Between 5 and 12. Yes, I think it's a great idea.

Speaker 6:

I think it is a fantastic idea. I have always said everybody should work in fast food at least once, yeah, or restaurant business, so I love this idea. I have two little ones. They're 6 and 9. They're about to be 7 on Monday and 9. And I would love to have them learn how to take care of people and be empathetic in the restaurant business.

Speaker 1:

Customer service is huge. Yes, it can make or break a restaurant. There's been many times I've walked in and the service is not very good and it makes you think, hmm, do I want to go back there or not?

Speaker 4:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Every time I walk into a Chick-fil-A I know I'm going to get great customer service and it makes a difference. It really does, and I think too many kids in today's world they're not around this type of atmosphere and for them to have a chance to learn at an early age it's going to stick with you forever, not just at Chick-fil-A but like here at the radio station. We value customer service. When somebody calls or we go to a remote or we go to wherever the customers Without the listeners. They're our customers. We have to super serve them. That's right. Do our best and we'd love talking to our listeners and making them happy. Yes, I think it's a great idea.

Speaker 6:

I think it's a great idea, especially with it being at Chick-fil-A If it was at another competing restaurant some of them need to send their employees to. Chick-fil-a to watch how to do it.

Speaker 1:

The reason I say it's come on, man, because there's one person. They put this up and said they wrote that okay, wait, you're wanting parents to check notes to pay you to use their children as laborers we want? No, that's not what they're doing. They're not paying Chick-fil-A to let your kids come and work. You're not really working. You're learning how to work.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, or what to do. It's like a workshop.

Speaker 1:

It's like an internship, yeah, like you're at the radio station.

Speaker 6:

We have interns all the time and it makes sense. The $35 to get the t-shirt, the name tag, the lunch, the snack, it makes sense.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's like you're sending them to a little day camp.

Speaker 6:

I think it is too At 739.

Speaker 5:

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

Speaker 1:

When Rachel joins us. Good morning, rachel, good morning. Oh, she smiles. Oh, I love smiling.

Speaker 6:

No, we love having you in with us.

Speaker 7:

Well, I love being with y'all.

Speaker 1:

Did you see her brand new riding lawnmower out in the yard? I totally did. Ain cool.

Speaker 6:

Yes, jamie sinners drove it to the station this morning, did he really?

Speaker 2:

I was hoping to see that with a police escort. No way. Yes, we've got video 31.

Speaker 6:

No, they wouldn't let him, they wouldn't let him block traffic I know, but, he did it in the back roads. Yes, okay, and thank you to alberville police department for escorting.

Speaker 1:

That was super nice they're always coming clutch.

Speaker 6:

They came in and got me and barry when it was. When we had the ice storm this winter. They came and picked us up so we could come in and do the morning show Wow. So Albertville PD is good stuff.

Speaker 1:

They take care of us, they do a great job, they're on top of it, they are and there's a rumor that you're going to ride it after 9 and do a little video of you doing a donut in the parking lot. Is that true?

Speaker 6:

Well, jeremy said I can't, but you said I could. So, rachel, what do you say? Let's do it. Yes, rachel's always on my side. Breaking the law, breaking the law, breaking the law, she's in here for one reason she loves your knowledge, nuggets.

Speaker 1:

She wants to learn from you. You're like a teacher to Rachel I am these are things you need to know, whether you know it or not. So what have you got lined up today?

Speaker 6:

Rachel, you'll find about six refrigerator magnets in the average kitchen. I'm counting mine now. Really, I have probably about six.

Speaker 4:

I have at least six, I think.

Speaker 6:

I do too. Yeah, yeah, Five or six. Yeah, I've got two from Little Critters the pediatric dentist, two from Little Critters the pediatric dentist. I've got some that are squares, yeah, and I have some that are resin hearts that I've made myself.

Speaker 6:

And then what have you got? I've got some that have the little magnet picture frames. Oh, yeah, yeah, ah and pictures in there. Yes, those are so cute Little smiley face.

Speaker 7:

Love those.

Speaker 6:

Magnets and some crosses. I do have a couple little crosses. Good, I know that Rachel's going to agree with this one. 43% of us have eaten breakfast foods for all three meals In one day.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, really On the same day. Yeah, I've never had it all three's, almost half why would you do it all three?

Speaker 6:

I don't know, but I know you like breakfast food, I know you love breakfast foods and like, because rachel came in. Rachel is very tall, lean and long. She looks, she has like a model's body. Oh, holly, you do. And she door dashed the other day and got like jack's breakfast, like like the big breakfast and eats like all of it and I don't understand where it all goes.

Speaker 1:

She's a machine.

Speaker 6:

She is Do you work out Rach? No, Dang, you're lucky. I want to start. I need to get back to it. I used to love it. I know In a recent survey, 42% of teenagers claim that they can text while blindfolded.

Speaker 7:

I believe it, I believe it.

Speaker 6:

I can do it. Can you really? Yeah, I can do it. I text not looking all the time, really Not driving.

Speaker 1:

That's dangerous. I have to look.

Speaker 6:

I do too. I have to look to see where my fingers are.

Speaker 1:

And I still screw it up. I do too.

Speaker 6:

I can't even get it right looking at it.

Speaker 1:

There's no way I could do that, but kids, I believe that.

Speaker 6:

Oh yeah, they could absolutely do it.

Speaker 1:

Behind their back, blindfolded with their toes.

Speaker 6:

My six and nine-year-old could do it.

Speaker 1:

Yep.

Speaker 6:

What did you say?

Speaker 1:

Blindfolded behind their back with their toes. Yeah, they could do it. I know they could yeah. Research from recent studies show in order to keep the peace almost half of parents will let their kids eat an unhealthy breakfast.

Speaker 6:

I've done that. Yes, I do that. You just don't want to hear guilty.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yes, I know a piece of pizza, give me a piece of pie, give me some cake.

Speaker 6:

I know oh, I don't haven't done the cake thing, I did ice cream pizza. Pizza for breakfast, pizza for breakfast. Like, what's wrong with that? Nothing, nothing, nothing. Pockets for breakfast, oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

Cake or ice cream. Yeah yeah, that's a healthy one there.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, mine do chips. Sometimes I feel really guilty sending them to school with a bag of chips, but it avoids the fight. Yeah, and they eat. I don't know, they've got something on their tummy.

Speaker 1:

I don't know. They've got some potatoes in their stomach.

Speaker 6:

Raising kids is hard, y'all, it's tough. Yes.

Speaker 1:

All right, good stuff 755.

Speaker 5:

WQSB.

Speaker 1:

Mornings with Barry and Holly and we were going to talk about this earlier and had a lot of stuff going on with Jamie bringing the lawnmower up here A lot morning. But there's a story come out now. You've worked in the medical field, yeah. A story says that newborn babies can uh they aren't colorblind, uh, but their brains don't perceive colors the same way that older children and adults do at first. Now they can also only see about eight to ten inches in front of their faces at first. That's why babies tend to enjoy high contrast black and white images to begin with, but a few weeks after birth, the study says that red is the first color that comes into focus for a baby. How do we know this?

Speaker 6:

Autopsies. What so? There's these things in your eyes, called cones, okay, and they measure like wavelengths. It's almost like when you're looking at something, the cones process what color it's supposed to be. That's why there's a defect with the cones when you are colorblind.

Speaker 1:

Ah, okay, that makes sense.

Speaker 6:

Okay, and then they start to see the primary colors. So they start with red.

Speaker 1:

So red is first.

Speaker 6:

Red is first Gotcha, and then I think it's either blue or green. Okay, yeah, green.

Speaker 1:

It says, followed by green, that infants can see a full range of color by about five months old. I could see that, yeah, but until then they see really not much at all. As far as making out colors, it's all black and white.

Speaker 6:

There's no way to know unless they get in the eye and see there's no way to know. No, I mean a baby can't tell you, or I guess they can't even point at four months old to show you that one's red Mama.

Speaker 1:

The study says they held up pictures of the colors close to the face and they noticed the babies were focusing on the red. Close to the face, and they noticed the babies were focusing on the red. Okay, when the red was shown, they would focus on it. The other colors they kind of ignored it, but they focused on the red. So that's what you're saying. They tied it and said the red is the first color that a baby concentrates on.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, I told you this. We had talked a little bit about this this morning before Jamie got here. Yeah, and when Harlow was little, they sent me home from the hospital with a little book and it was all black and white but it had like a red circle on a page or a red square on a page, a red triangle, and I guess I had studied why is red important, and so that's what I know about the cones. But I don't know, I don't know. I'm like you. How do they know?

Speaker 1:

I have no idea I don't know that.

Speaker 6:

They say mama red yep, there you go.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's 8 17 country news coming up next mornings with barry and holly here on alabama's country giant wqsb true music news.

Speaker 1:

Well, jelly roll has hit number one this week. Halfway to hell marks his fourth chart topper on country radio. He's also getting set to release a brand-new song I Am Not Okay coming out this week. He's also going to launch his Beautifully Broken tour coming up later on this August. And how about your boozy? The talk of the town at CMA Fest, drawing in thousands of fans. The emerging alt-country hip-hop artist kicked off his packed weekend of shows with a set on the main stage of Nashville's Nissan Stadium and they said the following day he kept the celebrations going on the Good Molecules reverb stage. It drew a crowd so big the city was forced to shut down the streets to accommodate the high volume of concert goers. According to CMA, shibuzy attracted an estimated 4,000 to 5,000 fans lined up just to hear him at his stage.

Speaker 6:

I could see it.

Speaker 1:

That is amazing. So he is red hot right now. Speaking of red hot, here's Keith Urban on WQSV Morning's animal story turkey vultures. You ever seen a turkey vulture?

Speaker 6:

I've never heard of such Pull up the picture in a minute.

Speaker 1:

They are nasty. Well, they're a common sight in Iowa. You may have to ask your friend about the turkey vultures, ask Daniel about the old turkey vultures. Well, they're also social turkey vultures. They gather in tall trees, cell phone towers, other tall places. There's a problem with them. They say that they're an essential part of the ecosystem, but they become a nuisance from time to time, like now. A story came out this morning Some residents in west central Iowa have been dealing with large groups of the birds roosting above their properties, creating a mess. Now a biologist says that people can legally harass the birds with sound or spraying water to get them to move. But there's a problem. That's where it gets tricky. If you're scaring a bird, its defense mechanism is to throw up. Yeah, so if you're spraying, if it's up above you on, like, say, a power line, you're trying to get rid of them, it may throw up on you oh my god they're saying that the, the vomit is acidic and can damage painted surfaces and can damage you if you don't get it off quick enough.

Speaker 6:

So they have a superpower, they do, they have magma, they have magma in their throat, yeah wow.

Speaker 1:

So the acid-vomiting turkey vultures are a problem now in west-central Iowa.

Speaker 7:

Oh, no, be sure and ask.

Speaker 1:

Danielle, have you been attacked by a turkey vulture? She's a friend of yours that lives in Iowa.

Speaker 6:

Yes, she does.

Speaker 1:

She lives in Marion Iowa, so we need to know have you encountered a turkey vulture?

Speaker 6:

Yeah, you see the picture, I have to know. Yeah, they're really ugly.

Speaker 1:

They're very ugly I hate to say it. Can you imagine walking outside and there's a turkey vulture in your tree looking at you. What?

Speaker 6:

about a whole crowd of them, yeah, and they gather in groups. Yeah, I don't want that.

Speaker 1:

No, they're ugly, they have red heads and they hunker down into their they just look like they're creepy, like they just want to do damage to something.

Speaker 6:

Well, they look like. Have you pulled them up? Yes, they look like all of the feathers have been pulled out of its head and all the feathers have been pulled out of its head, and all that's left is the feathers on its body.

Speaker 1:

Oh, my goodness I know, but it's. Let me show you no wonder they're mad?

Speaker 6:

well, let me show you real quick they probably spit acid on their head look, look at that picture oh, that's just me, that's just like it's cool. It has no feathers on its head.

Speaker 1:

It wants to open up a can on your butt, it just wants to just wear your head out with this acid, so it's a defense mechanism is to this acid. So it's a defense mechanism, it's to spit acid on you, it's to puke Vomit. Acid vomit.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, that's terrible.

Speaker 1:

That's scary yeah. Yeah, all right, it's 845.

Speaker 5:

WQSB Mornings with Barry and.

Daryl Nicholson's with us. Hey, daryl, how you doing Good. Now you gotta tell us, sister, we were talking about turkey vultures. I was having a problem with them. They're all over the place and they're throwing up on people and on their cars and on everything and they say it's acid.

Speaker 7:

Yeah. Now you say, oh yeah, at the hunting camp we were riding the four-wheeler and it was in the road eating on something, yeah, and it jumped, it flew up and it came back over us and it did. It flew up and it hit my son right on the leg. Oh my gosh, you're talking about an awful smell.

Speaker 6:

Oh did it burn him?

Speaker 7:

No, it didn't burn him, but we had it so bad that we had to throw his pants away. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, that's how bad the smell is. I mean, it's awful.

Speaker 6:

Oh, Darrell.

Speaker 1:

Well, you imagine the poor folks in Iowa. They've got like a whole bunch of them growing, hanging around houses and throwing up everywhere that's got to stink up there.

Speaker 7:

It smelled worse than a dead fish.

Speaker 1:

Ew, that is awful, it's not worse than a dead fish. Wow, that is awful, I guess your son.

Speaker 7:

How old was he when it?

Speaker 1:

happened he was about seven, so has it scarred him for life. Is he afraid of turkey vultures now?

Speaker 7:

We still talk about it every once in a while when we see them.

Speaker 1:

Wow, I would too. Well, hey, darrell, thanks for sharing that with us, man, we appreciate you.

Speaker 7:

All right, y'all take care.

Speaker 1:

All right, Thanks, Daryl man. That would be awful. I had to throw the pants away. I was so bad.

Speaker 6:

That would be horrible to be stuck with that smell. You know, yes, ew, ew. I don't want no part of it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, problems with them, because they're in this certain area and they're bothering people and they're up above them and you walk in and try to get rid of them and they'll throw up on you. It's like acidic, so if it gets on your car it can eat into the paint. You got to get rid of it real fast.

Speaker 6:

What if humans had that ability, when they're getting attacked, to just puke? Imagine acidic puke.

Speaker 4:

What if God gave?

Speaker 6:

us that. How weird would that be With my luck.

Speaker 1:

If I was a superheroke, that would be good to have.

Speaker 6:

What if?

Speaker 1:

God gave us that. How weird would that be. With my luck, if I was a superhero, that would be my one power puke and yeah acid puke could be my only.

Speaker 1:

It couldn't be invisible like I'd love to be, but now I've got the acid puke going for me. I want to say again congrats to Natasha Temple, our listener of the day.

In many ways it's kind of an emotional one because if you stop and think about it, people need to stop and think about this. Because I know you mentioned this and I agree Over the past two years, going back to COVID days, depression has been probably worse than ever before. People going through a lot of stuff and whether it's with the covid or whatever, and people have uh, it's to me it's okay to say I'm not okay and let people try to help you.

Speaker 6:

Don't try to battle these things alone and it's hard to accept that help when you're on the other side of it is I'm emotional. I'm just gonna tell you I'm gonna probably cry when I read this one yeah I just feel emotional about this, but I feel passionate.

Speaker 1:

It's a passionate, emotional um we want to help other people. We do our best to try to find ways, whether it's to make you smile or play a song that you love and we share with you. We both have struggled with, uh, mental issues. I'll be honest with you.

Speaker 6:

Oh yeah, Depression and anxiety is real.

Speaker 1:

Everybody in this world. If you'll be honest, you've gone through something that you just struggle with and I like the quote of the day. The quote of the day is healing doesn't mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls your life. You've got to somehow find a way to find the strength to get out of that depression funk that you're in, and whether it's letting somebody talk to you or listen to you, there's many ways you can do this, but don't try to go through these things alone. And you're not going to say that well, it never happened to me that I've moved on. It's always going to be there, but the damage no longer needs to control your life. You need to try to find a way to be able to move on and the best you can put it behind you. Some things are so powerful you'll never forget about them.

Speaker 6:

You've got to be able to move on. It's safe to say we're all healing from something.

Speaker 1:

That's true.
