Speaker 5Yeah, I'm a pizza-ola.
Speaker 1Yeah, I'll admit, you did a great job yesterday.
Speaker 5Hey, I spun that pizza.
Speaker 1I was a little skeptical when we went down there. I thought she was probably going to end up throwing it on my head Because we went to Alabama Pizza Company.
Speaker 5In Rainbow City. I had a great time with Andre the pizza guy. Yeah, andre had over a thousand people watching him make pizzas live while we were there.
Speaker 1He's probably the most amazing. Well, not probably. He is the most amazing pizza maker. Is that the official word, pizza maker? It's a pizzaiolo, okay. Well, he's the best.
Speaker 5I should have asked him that yesterday.
Speaker 1He's the best.
Speaker 5That's what the internet says. Anyway. Yeah, it's a pizzaiolo. Yeah so you're going to put the video together today. We've got all kinds of fun stuff, but I did make a pizza and when. I went back to the break room this morning, I noticed that somebody had eaten my pizza.
Speaker 1And I'm proud Because he let you make a small cheese pizza.
Speaker 5A 10 inch yeah.
Speaker 1Just in case you ruined it. He didn't want to waste a whole 20 inch worth of dough. That's not why he was like she's going to do great. No, he didn't know.
Speaker 5Y'all doubt me. You doubt my lawnmower driving skills. Yeah, you doubt my pizza making skills. What else do I need to prove to you? I?
Speaker 1want to see you make a pizza on the lawnmower.
Speaker 5I'll do it.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 5With a zero turn, doing donuts.
Speaker 1Zero turn.
Speaker 5Just flipping that dough going in circles.
Speaker 1How did it feel when you were tossing the dough in the air? Scary yeah.
Speaker 5Because I was afraid I was going to drop it Because it's very flimsy.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 5And doughy, I mean it's dough, yeah, so like it's heavy.
Speaker 1You're spinning it to make it go from a small amount of dough to A bigger, a big pizza yeah.
Speaker 5And I did. I spinned it a couple times.
Speaker 1It was impressive.
Speaker 5Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 5I was going to put it on your head, but we had so many people watching live but I thought, don't mess up Andre's kitchen, yeah, yeah. Because I think I could have rang your head.
Speaker 1Yeah, because he was Facebook live on his account TikTok live. I'm sorry. Tiktok had over a thousand people watching it, yes, and now we videoed it, we filmed it, so you're going to put the piece together today and show everybody you making a pizza.
Speaker 5Oh yeah, oh yeah, and it was so much fun. We had so much fun down there.
Speaker 1They were so nice to us, yeah, and they had QSP blasting inside.
Speaker 5They do. They listen to WQSP, so if they're there this morning, we love you guys so much. We had so much fun.
Speaker 1Thank you for having us Now. There's a few of the big deal coupons left for Alabama Pizza Company. I'm shocked there's a few left. You can get half price. You can get for $20 worth of food, which is like a large pizza. You only pay $10 for it.
Speaker 5Yeah, that's a good deal and it is the best New York-style pizza you've ever had. And it's true, new York-style. It's not just like Little Caesar said no, this is New York said no, this is new york style.
Speaker 1This is true, authentic, made by hand, every day, from scratch pizza yeah, good stuff and it's good. So go to our website and get yourself a coupon. We'll be talking more about the big deal store. We have some great big deals on there. Sometimes it's more than just food, uh, like, we had, uh, jimma b's here yesterday, and if you're not familiar with that, you need to find out what she does, because she does some amazing things. If you've, uh, I'd say if you have something special that's happened in your life whether it's a birthday, wedding or a sad moment that's happened in your life she can make it special.
Speaker 5Yeah, she can, and she did the neatest things, like, uh, she was showing us all of her art pieces and she brought them in. So if you want to see those, I'll put them up on our facebook page.
Speaker 1Yeah, hey, coming up in a moment we're going to talk more about this. You hit on this yesterday about I forget what it was maybe knowledge nuggets about what's in your purse I think it was knowledge, and I think the average woman has 38 items in her purse at one time. Yes, and we were talking about how, uh, mother and grandmothers when I was growing up had much stuff in there. So you put up a question this morning.
Speaker 5Yeah.
Speaker 1And it's simple. We want to know. Give us a couple of things Are you asking for unusual things or what are you looking for?
Speaker 5No, I'm looking for exactly what they're giving me. John and Whitney Jones said okay, let me read the post. The post says yesterday we asked what your favorite part of the show was, and it was overwhelmingly Grandma's purse, like the things that we would find in Grandma's purse. And so we want to know what are the odd or unusual things that you found in your mom or grandma's purse or aunt whoever? And then we're going to go over some of the answers on air John and Whitney. John said a razor.
Speaker 1Whoa.
Speaker 5Crystal Whitaker said nothing unusual here. Mama had just what we needed Fingernail clippers, a stamp, paper clip, mint and gum and Band-Aid and Neosporin. A stamp, a stamp, a stamp, all right.
Speaker 1Gay Morgan says a collapsible drinking cup.
Speaker 5Oh yeah, Okay, I like that grandmother.
Speaker 1That's odd, that's unusual.
Speaker 5Be sure and post.
International Sushi Day and Purse Nostalgia
Speaker 1Let us know what was in your purse. We're going to read some more of those coming up in a few minutes, but first got to get busy. Things you need to know this morning. It's Tuesday, June the 18th. What's going on in the world today?
Speaker 5Today's one of my favorite days. Today is International Sushi Day. Don't turn your nose up. I is International Sushi Day, don't? No, don't turn your nose up. I need some buttons over here.
Speaker 1I know I want to say yum. Okay, I'll find something for you in a minute. Do Justin Bieber, yummy. I'm going to say this.
Speaker 5Come on, man, I'm only reading the story. If you play yummy.
Speaker 1I'll find it in a minute, okay.
Speaker 5All right, so I'll find it in a minute. Okay, all right, so here's some etiquette. Yes, there's some etiquette.
Speaker 1Hold on. I don't like sushi. I've had it one time. I have a thing about when I'm eating food I want it to be like something on the grill. It's got to be well done.
Speaker 5No, Barry.
Speaker 1You ate the wrong sushi. Who got it? I don't remember.
Speaker 5But you can get it cooked too, though.
Speaker 1Then it's not raw, then if it's cooked.
Speaker 5Well, no, but it's still sushi. I get shrimp tempura rolls. It's fried shrimp in rice, cream cheese, celery.
Speaker 1That sounds better.
Speaker 5Seaweed. How about seaweed? It's good, it's so good for you too.
Speaker 1I've had that stuff in my swim trunks before. It's nasty.
Speaker 5You don't eat it, no.
Speaker 1I'm trying my best to get it out.
Speaker 5So here's some etiquette for your sushi meal. Don't chat with your chef. Really Don't chat with them. Yep, don't chat with them. Use the wet towel that they provide. You're going to learn.
Speaker 1Hold on. Why do they how?
Speaker 5Because you eat sushi with your hands. Oh.
Speaker 1Or chopsticks.
Speaker 5If you can't get it with the chopsticks, you get it with your hands.
Speaker 1Okay, are you supposed to eat it with chopsticks only?
Speaker 5Or your hands. Okay, not a fork.
Speaker 3Gotcha Mm-hmm.
Speaker 5And then don't mix. This is a big one. Don't mix the soy and wasabi sauce together. They told me one time in Atlanta when I was eating sushi that that was a slap to the chef's face and it's almost like when you're cooking a steak and it's a slap when you ask for A1 or Heinz.
Speaker 1Gotcha, you're saying, yeah, it's not good enough.
Speaker 5It's not good. It needs sauce.
Speaker 1So why can you not mix those together?
Speaker 5Because you're making your own A1 or Heinz oh.
Speaker 1Yeah, so you're supposed to eat it individually? Yes, no, wasabi is the one that's got, like horseradish or something. It's hot, it opens your sinuses.
Speaker 5Yeah, it's so good though. Yeah, and it says to dip only the fish in the soy sauce. Only the fish. I'd always.
Speaker 1Somebody once said that you must eat it in one bite.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1You cannot eat it Is that because if you take just one bite, you're going to get sick and throw up?
Speaker 5No, barry, no, it's because it falls apart.
Speaker 1It's like an oyster, it's just good.
Speaker 5No, no, it's nothing like an oyster, toss it down your throat. Sushi's so good, I'm going to put a poll up. Do you like sushi, yes or no?
Speaker 1I just want to know.
Speaker 5I think people are going to be torn.
Speaker 1I want my food cooked. Yeah, okay, well, anyway.
Speaker 5Tell me if you heard about this. Carrie Underwood has shared details about the house fire that took place on her home Sunday night.
Speaker 1That was scary, did you hear about that. I did, I did.
Speaker 5It was started by a UTV stored in the garage. Oh, v's stored in the garage Like an ATV.
Speaker 1Like a UTI. What's an UTV? I don't even ask what the V's are, but I can imagine Wow, I didn't know, you put it in the garage. Well, it fits. It fits the scent Starts a fire. Dang, get some medicine for that.
Speaker 5So they just conveniently had it. I'm skipping right over that. They conveniently had a 10,000 gallon water tank and it helped put out the fire. Why do?
Speaker 1you have a 10,000 gallon water tank.
Speaker 5I guess just in case.
Speaker 1Was it like the pool? They just put the fire hose in the pool. Is that what they're pumping it out? That is weird. Who has a 10,000 gallon?
Speaker 5water tank. It was a pool. The fire was contained. I don't know how, but there was no damage to the residents.
Speaker 1Good.
Speaker 5And the family and their pets are unharmed. Good.
Speaker 1I love Carrie Underwood I do yeah, good to hear that.
Speaker 5And then here's something to think about. I was a little worried this morning. One of my friends said that she and her husband were fighting.
Speaker 1Oh no, oh no.
Speaker 5One of my friends said that she and her husband were fighting. Oh no, oh no, I know, last week it was her birthday, yeah, and she told him that for her birthday to get her something, she was just like just get me something to take my breath away. Okay, just give me something to take my breath away.
Speaker 1That leaves it wide open there what you could buy. Okay, what did he do?
Speaker 5He bought her a treadmill.
Speaker 1Take, take her breath away, I take it. She don't work out much. They're now settling, of course I can imagine it's 618.
Speaker 4Mornings with Barry and Hall here on Alabama's country giant WQSB. Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy Crazy, but true.
Speaker 1Crazy but true. We talked about this yesterday, about what you keep in your purse. Well, you don't even have a purse.
Speaker 5I don't even have one.
Speaker 1But talk about the days when they would go to church and the mother always had her purse with her. Grandmother always had hers with her and you go over to visit her and she always had her purse. She'd go digging through it. I think she's like MacGyver of the grandmother world she had everything you need in the world in that purse. Yeah, we ask a question what's some unusual things maybe your mom or grandma had in her purse, or what do you have in your purse? Now, for me, when I could see my grandmother, it was, uh, her snuff and she had bruton my grandmother dips stuff really.
Speaker 5Yeah, like, like powder stuff.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's like a kind, just like a little like silver can, and she'd get that and get a little dip, and then she'd put a little dip under her gum. Then, of course, she'd always want to give me some sugar and I'd say no, no, I'm sorry, no, I love you, no, mama, but I don't want.
Speaker 5Yeah, my mama didn't kiss me.
Speaker 1I don't want snuff sugar.
Speaker 5Yeah, she wasn't a kissy kissy person, yeah she. So I talked to my mom about this and she said my grandmother kept snuff, but she would take a sweet gum stick. Do you remember those kookaburras that?
Speaker 1we were talking about Sure do.
Speaker 5She would take a sweet gum stick. She would chew the end off of it to fray it and then brush her teeth with the snuff.
Speaker 1So grandma would chew the end off of a stick? Yes, wow.
Speaker 5Isn't that?
Speaker 1gross. You're poor Randy. Oh poor is not the word. So what was the sweet gum? What was that for? What was the main reason for that?
Speaker 5Oh, it was sorry. It's sweet Bruton, so it was Bruton.
Speaker 1Yeah, it was Bruton. My grandmother used it.
Speaker 5My daddy said red top, but my mom said Bruton, so I don't know.
Speaker 1So what was with the stick then? What was with the?
Speaker 5So the stick? Mom said that it was like a socializing thing, that all the women would get together and then they would have their little cans of snuff and just dip it and they would rub their teeth with the sweetgum stick. Really, they called it brushing their teeth. Huh that is interesting it's not interesting, it's gross things have changed.
Speaker 1You go from that man. That is by strip poker it's totally different it's totally different atmosphere than over there brushing teeth and bruting what's some of the comments uh, christy edward says juicy fruit gum for the grandkids or whatever grandmother yep, my mother always had dentine, the little sticks of dentine, yeah. And candy, always had candy, yeah, usually the peppermints, the soft peppermints, oh yeah. She always had those, because you'd always go to church and you couldn't be still, so she'd give you candy to be still.
Speaker 5My mom's purse. This is weird. I'm going to throw this out there. This, throw this out there. This is weird. My mom's purse has a certain smell to it. It smells like my mama. It just smells like my mama. It smells like her perfume. It's a good smell, but it smells distinctly like her. If I was to be blindfolded and you put ten purses in front of me, I could pick out my mama's purse by the smell.
Speaker 1What was the perfume?
Speaker 5It's called Toujou Moi.
Speaker 1Whoa Toujoumois Whoa.
Speaker 5Toujoumois.
Speaker 1Okay, hold on, let me do it one more time, toujoumois. What does that mean? I?
Speaker 5don't know, I don't know but, it means hey Siri Covers up snuff. What does Toujoumois mean? No, I said tuition, so I said tuition.
Speaker 1That's not what I'm looking for.
Speaker 5She's an idiot. Do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, my grandmother's Did it.
Speaker 1have a smell to it. It smelled like snuff. My mother smelled like chewing gum Either Juicy Fruit or Dentine one of the two. They never should get a napkin or Kleenex to wipe your face. Your face then smelled like Dentine. The rest of the day, which was good, Could have been worse, could have been worse, yeah.
Speaker 1Sherry Poundsbrook says I have everything and everything bagged in my purse, from safety pins to you name it. Brenda Berry says my mama always kept her money in a folded handkerchief, pinned to the inside of her dress or slip. Oh, that's smart. Wow, never would have thought of that. Yeah, Ashley Dunn says my mom always carried a clean pair of underwear. She always said she wanted a clean pair in case she was in a car wreck. If you're in a bad car wreck, you probably don't.
Speaker 5Really You're not going to be like where's my purse? Hold on, let me change my panties. Oh, my leg my arm. Oh quick, Put them down in I'm not gonna be worried about my underwear, by the way. Yeah means forever me. Oh, okay, okay, anyway, go ahead. No see, but the thing is you leave the house with clean underwear. You don't have an emergency set to be like hold on police officers and firefighters.
Speaker 1I have to change, yeah before you load me up, let me change my drawers. Hold on.
Speaker 5Ma'am, is there anything from your car that you need?
Speaker 1I need my clean underwear, right there in the glove box Right next to my snuff.
Speaker 5Don't forget my sweet gum stick.
Speaker 1So does your mother carry anything unusual?
Speaker 5No, she always carries a handkerchief and she has like change at the bottom. What?
Speaker 1Nothing else. What? Because this woman here says she has a tape measure in her purse yeah, she did.
Speaker 5My mom always has a tape measure.
Speaker 1Is this a thing? Because Rhonda Hill says her mom and grandmother had tape measure, knife and fingernail clippers.
Speaker 5Yup, and Carolyn Kenworthy says a little sewing kit for replacing buttons.
Speaker 1Yeah, why do you need the tape measure?
Speaker 5Savannah, I don't know. Mom uses it for literally everything. She will use it to measure where a refrigerator can fit in for a new appliance, or she can measure how much she needs to hem off a pair of pants. So anything that's unusual, is it?
Speaker 1I don't carry one, mean, you just know but I mean, oh, you know they can just eyeball it. So yeah, it's about an arm measure with your arm, yeah yeah, whatever whatever. Uh, melissa davidson says crossword puzzles.
Speaker 5Jake jacob minyard says tomatoes what no no, those are squished they don't carry tomatoes. No.
Speaker 1Ralph Tedder says, those strawberry hard candies. Yes, I love those.
Speaker 5Yes, I told you those, yes, I love those. I love those yeah.
Speaker 1Carrie Abbott, the stick of gum torn in half that tasted like cigarettes and perfume.
Speaker 5Okay, so my mama used to smoke yeah, and I know exactly what she's talking about Because she would save her cigarettes.
Speaker 1She would dot them out and then put them in her purse. Palme Harris says a survivor bag. It's a makeup bag with eyeliner, mascara, powder, baby wipes, feminine products and a pocket knife.
Speaker 5Now I'm going to tell you carrying, that's a combination, yeah, that is, but carrying baby wipes is a life hack. They work for everything. They'd work for eating your sushi. Yeah, I mean for everything.
Speaker 1Okay, yeah, but let us know what you've maybe keep in your purse or your mom did or your grandmother did something unusual and be sure to add that to the list. We'll check out some more in a few minutes. At 6 32, barry and holly on alabama's country giant wqsb, mqsb, jelly rolling, laney, wilson and save me now jelly roll. His new song came out officially yesterday. Most added song in country music. Wow, what is it? I'm not okay, is that?
Speaker 1yeah, I'm not okay, man, he did that on the award show back what about a month ago? Yeah, that's going to be huge.
Celebrity Challenges and Purse Treasures
Speaker 5I love Jelly Roll.
Speaker 1He just tells the truth because he's gone through so much mentally and well you know, with his problems as far as with the law being in jail out of jail and he's telling what he thinks can help others maybe not go down the road he went down I was standing around somebody yesterday and they said you know what I really don't like?
Speaker 5jelly roll yeah and it makes me think, like you don't know his stance on mental health, or you would, because even if you don't like his music, he is such a inspirational person and motivational person. He's been through so much and he's overcame so much and all he's doing with his music is trying to help people and I respect that so much and he's overcame so much and all he's doing with his music is trying to help people and I respect that so much for jelly because he takes a big part of his time and goes to.
Speaker 1I know he was in a detention center when he was a youth and he goes back. He's been donating money to them. He's built a music program inside the music center because he said that if music wasn't offered to me back when I was in jail, basically I probably would have turned out and been back in jail the rest of my life, in and out because. But that changed my life. It showed me that, hey, I have a little bit of a talent. Somebody believed in me and now my music is giving me a chance to have a platform and help other people out there who may be struggling. But hey, find something you're good at, there's going to be something. Yep, yep, yep. So I love what he's about. So, whether you like his music or not, that's not the point. But I've had people tell me they just don't like him. I said why? Well, he doesn't like the way he looks.
Speaker 5Yeah, I just don't like the way he looks, the fact that he was a rap singer.
Speaker 1What does that got to do with anything? I don't know. People change and people do good things. Give them a chance. You don don't judge people. You don't prejudge people on how they look.
Speaker 5No, and we're allowed to change, and we're allowed to change for the better too. I think that sometimes in our lives we've got to look back and, like this is something that I've been going through I've got to look back and look at the things that I'm doing wrong and make them and fix them better. And so I think that that's what Jelly Roll did. He took the things that he did bad and he still uses them to make them better, to make people better, to make him better, to make his wife better, to make the people around him better.
Speaker 1He wants to help people.
Speaker 5He does yeah.
Speaker 1Not make the mistakes he made.
Speaker 5I love Jelly.
Speaker 1I love it. So, anyway, the new song. We'll be playing it later on today. A few more things people have found in their purse. My grandmother, according to Michelle Sharp, always had peanut butter crackers.
Speaker 5Oh yeah, yes, oh yeah.
Speaker 1My mother always had a snack. She knew at church I was probably give me 10 minutes and I'm going to be needing to do something, I'm going to need to move or something. So she'd give me a pack of surds and I'd eat the whole pack within like a minute. Then she'd give me some crackers and if I got through those and I was still moving around I usually got the pinch.
Speaker 5Oh well, Kay Murphy, I just refreshed it. She got snuffed, too Snuffed in her grandmother's purse.
Speaker 1Yes, morgan, nolan says Weathers Original Candy. Those are like the caramel ones. Oh yeah, those are so good, those are good.
Speaker 5I like this one. Back before we had bottled water, my mama carried a mason jar of water to town with her purse so she could just whip it out when she got thirsty. Okay, she also carried Brigley's gum too. She's got great memories.
Speaker 1Those are good, so I had some more of these. Another story I saw this crime story A lady in China was arrested for smuggling 350 Nintendo Switch game cards in her bra. Yeah, she was trying to get to the airport. They noticed that the woman was very big up top, but it looked like it was not proportioned. It was like it was weird, like games were stuck in her bra.
Speaker 1Something's in her bra. So they pulled her over and did a quick search and sure enough, they found 350. Now how big are the game cards? They're just, they're tiny. So there's 350 in her bra yeah which right for about ten thousand dollars with a game card she's trying to smuggle through the airport how what?
Speaker 5why can't tell you something? Yeah, my mama, I hope she's not listening. Oh, she puts stuff in her bra. That's her pocket. Yeah, really but not 350 Game Boy cards or whatever. Nintendo Switch cards.
Speaker 1Switch cards 350.
Speaker 5Yeah, they're about this big. I would say what do you think? That is Two inches, an inch and a half. Wow, they're small.
Speaker 1But the size of a matchbook Smaller it's like half the size of a debit card, like half of that Way. Smaller, probably it's like half the size of a debit card.
Speaker 5It's like half of that Way smaller, probably half the size of a matchbook.
Speaker 1But 350 of them.
Speaker 5Yeah, a matchbook would probably make up two, so imagine having 100. I was half of 350.
Speaker 1175?.
Speaker 5Imagine having 175 matchbooks in each side.
Speaker 1Well, she must have put like a 201 side and 150 on the other.
Speaker 5That's why she's a little, she got busted.
Speaker 1The proportion did right, she probably wouldn't have noticed.
Speaker 5She's just okay no big deal.
Speaker 1But then there's one over here. You got Super Mario on one side, I mean Super Super Mario on the other side, and there's Donkey Kong on the other, really poking out there. So anyway, they got her. It's 644.
Speaker 4WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly.

Speaker 5I know she says that following the death of Christine back in 2022, there's no chance that the group will reform.
Speaker 1I get it, because it wouldn't be the same, Because Christine did about, I'd say, roughly half of their songs being lead. Yeah, and I'd say about roughly half of their songs being in lead.
Speaker 5Yeah.
Speaker 1And it wouldn't be fair to have somebody else step in and take her place.
Speaker 5No, it wouldn't.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 5And the rules for the first presidential debate between President Biden and former President Trump a week from Thursday. Red lights will be visible to the candidates and will flash when they have five seconds left. Like that's going to help, like that's going to help. Hold on, hold on. It's going to turn solid red when the time has expired.
Speaker 1Still not going to help.
Speaker 5Hold on, and each man's microphone will be muted when it is not his turn to speak. Now you know they did this just for one candidate.
Speaker 1They did because Trump can't quit talking. This is going to be a disaster. I know you guys understand. Trump can't quit talking.
Speaker 5This is going to be a disaster. I know I mean. You guys understand. We can't say if we love or hate Trump. We can't say one way or the other. If you find us out at Walmart I'll tell you. But they do, they run over and I love that they're going to mute them.
Speaker 1I love the debates because their time is up and they don't care. They just keep on half the time. They don't even answer the question they were asked. No, they're not done. They talk about something totally different because they just want to talk about it. But this is going to be a problem. So what's going to happen is time's going to expire.
Speaker 5They're going to mute the mic One of and talking to his mic. It's going to be a free-for-all.
Speaker 3It'll be fun. So it's a week from.
Speaker 4Thursday.
Speaker 1Have to watch that one. It's 6.54. Birthdays are next.
Speaker 4Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's country giant WQSB. Shirley, you can't be serious.
Speaker 1I am serious and don't call me Shirley, totally serious, I didn't know this. Rice Krispies Do you like Rice Krispies? I?
Speaker 5do I like Rice?
Speaker 1Krispie treats I do too. They were known for their little, I guess, spokespersons, or little you know, cartoons, aren't they? Little elves? Yeah, snap, crackle and Pop Name for what the cereal, the sound the cereal makes when it mingles with milk. They've been around since the 1930s. I didn't know this, snap was the first one. They only had Snap to begin with solo. Then they added Crackle and Pop in 1941. But here's one I did not know. There was another one, a fourth one, named Powell, p-o-w. Powell Powell, who appeared for a brief time in the early 1950s only in two commercials. He was riding a hovercraft and drew attention to the cereal's power from whole grain rice, so power. So at one time it was snap, crackle, pop and powell, that's a mouthful. I could see why they got rid of it.
Speaker 1Yeah, snap, crackle pop but I was thinking, what if they go with another one? Yeah, because, you look up like synonyms of snap, that could could have been snap, crackle and pop and bark, snarl, shout, yell, scream, growl, shriek or grumble. I don't think any of those would work Snap, crackle, pop and scream.
Speaker 5No, it should be like snap, crackle, pop and fizz Fizz yeah.
Speaker 1But does the cereal fizz? I guess that goes with it, it goes ssss. Okay.
Speaker 5Snap crackle pop and crunch. Okay, better than growl.
Speaker 1Yeah, these are tough, or shriek Shriek. Who wants that?
Speaker 5when you're thinking, Snap crackle pop and shriek yeah, hey kids, I got your snap.
Speaker 1I can see why they changed it, because it shows some other words they could have went with. Seriously, synonyms of pop includes break, fracture, bust, shatter, smash, chip, crack and split. Oh Lord, not to be confused with hitting a groin. That was another one that they considered. Snap crackle pop and hitting a groin. I don't think that would have worked. The ones that they considered but snap crackle pop and hit in the groin, I don't think that would have worked, would you?
Speaker 5My mind races so fast and my mouth almost doesn't catch up with it, and I have to stop myself before I lose my career. Oh yes, and mine don't. You're seasoned, you're like your grandfather?
Speaker 1then no, no, but I'm just going over names. It could have been Uh-huh, could have been.
Speaker 5Yeah, I'm playing it nice. The snap, crackle pop and burst Burst I don't know Bust, Bust, Bust.
Speaker 1Yeah, speaking of busting, it's time, cannonball. Yep, if you're going to be outside today, it's going to be hot again, not going to lie, but it could be a little windy, which may help it not be as hot, and it's going to be mostly cloudy. So 89 is the highest. So what we really want to know is, if you're going to the pool, the cannonball pool party forecast. One means it's one cannonball, not a good day. Five means a great day. What kind of weather we got today?
Speaker 5We're going with three cannonballs today. Three, yeah, we're going three because we got some pop-up summer showers.
Speaker 1We got some just a slight chance this morning. There's going to be more clouds and sun later today.
Speaker 5Yeah, it's just going to be a cloudy day. You still want to wear your sunscreen?
Speaker 1You still get lots of UV rays, even with the cloud coverage, and the wind will have blister you too.
Speaker 5Yes, it will, you won't feel it as much. Yes, yes, so three and a flip.
Speaker 1Alright, three today and a flip, oh a flip. How do you do a flip with a cannonball? You just flip. Oh no, I've got to stop this Very how do you do a flip with a cannonball. Cannonball, you jump up, grab your knees and you just bust the water. How do you do a flip?
Speaker 5I was about to read my quote. Well, that's good, okay, you've got me confused now, all right. So you go, you jump up into the air, yeah, you grab your knees, okay, and you flip forward.
Speaker 1That'd be a face buster.
Speaker 5No, you flip. Give it some spring action in your legs.
Speaker 1You must have a high jump, because most people jump about two feet off the ground.
Speaker 5You projectile jump.
Speaker 1I want to watch you jump into the water and do a cannonball and a flip. I want to see this.
Speaker 5All right, I'll take a video.
Speaker 1Well, after you show us the video of you making a pizza yesterday, I want to see you doing a video of a cannonball.
Speaker 5She can do it all.
Speaker 1With a flip and she can do it. Flip a pizza, and she can do a flip with a cannonball, wow, and she can read the quote of the day. So, words of wisdom, quote of the day. So what have you got today?
Speaker 5Oh, this is such a good one. It comes from Rhonda Rousey. She says once you give them the power to tell them you you're great, you've also given them the power to tell you you're unworthy. Once you start caring about people's opinions of you, you give up control.
Speaker 1I've never thought it would be like that. But yeah, once you let people, you believe what they tell you, and they tell you how good you are and how good you're doing, you also have to believe it when they tell you that you're doing bad.
Speaker 5Yeah.
Speaker 1If you believe one thing out of the mouth, you gotta believe it all If you're gonna let people's opinions change how you think.
Speaker 5Yeah, If you value their opinions, then yeah absolutely.
Speaker 1Well, I do care about. We want to do a good job and do our best here. But once you start letting people tell you, sometimes somebody will say yeah, I heard you on the radio the other day, you just didn't sound very good, and that kind of ruins your day, thinking, okay, I didn't realize I sounded that bad.
Speaker 5People do that.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, that's awful.
Speaker 5Yeah, that's like saying, hey, you're doing a really good job washing my car, but you could do better.
Speaker 1They don't say it to you. Oh, that's mainly the boss. What oh the?
Speaker 5boss is telling you you're not doing a good job.
Speaker 1So they're not telling you that it's just me that's scary.
Speaker 5They don't tell me that. Oh wow, that's scary.
Speaker 1Wow Okay, I did not know that.
Speaker 5Maybe that was the Mississippi meeting that you were supposed to have yesterday.
Speaker 1Well, you weren't in there, so I guess that's why you got the good meeting.
Speaker 5I told you you get crossed the line.
Speaker 1Okay, sorry, just forget that. Snap crackle and pop comment there, all right? 7-17.
Speaker 4Barry and Holly on Alabama's Country. Giant, giant wqsb in my belly, come on, it's raining tacos and uh, talking about food, we got a couple of things.
Speaker 1Pepsi's doing it again. I I didn't see this last year pepsi and little caesar's teaming up with pineapple pepsi. Ew, what do you think?
Speaker 5okay, so yesterday andre said that pineapple does not go on a pizza, right, and that was a great debate. I don't think that pineapple goes into a Pepsi.
Speaker 1I didn't have one last year, did you?
Speaker 5I've never seen it.
Speaker 1They said it's back again this summer. Yeah, it's exclusively at Little Caesars, the 20-ounce bottles pineapple-flavored Pepsi. So if you've never tried one or you love them, you need to, I guess, order something from Little Caesars. That's where you get them.
Speaker 5Yeah, yeah, we'll try to find one and test it, because we're trying something next hour.
Speaker 1Right, we have a new food.
Speaker 5Yes, we do. We have apple cinnamon donut sticks. They're brand new. I love donut sticks.
Speaker 3Yes.
Speaker 1So Little Debbie Donut 6, and these are apple cinnamon. We'll try those coming up at 810. So how about these new chips coming out?
Speaker 5Yeah. So these new Lave's Barbecue Chips. They're a limited time flavor. They're cheesy garlic bread. They're back for a limited time. It says they're back, so I guess they've been out there before. Yeah, but they're cheesy garlic bread chips.
Speaker 1I love garlic bread. Yeah, it's got to have a good taste too. That sounds good. We will find those too, so how about some new ice cream?
Speaker 5And Cold Stone, which Albertville is getting one soon.
Speaker 1Soon soon.
Speaker 5Cold Stone Creamery has some Despicable Me 4 items that are in store now. You can get the Heist Cream Cake, heist, heist, which features yellow cake and Despicamello ice cream, so like the Minions basically. It's the Minions.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 5With sprinkles on the side Looking at you, and then you can get the Mega Minion Marshmallow Meltdown Mm-hmm, that has the ice cream with chocolate chips, marshmallows and sprinkles.
Speaker 1I think it's a great idea.
Speaker 5It is it is.
Speaker 1I love the Despicable Me movies, the Minion movies and I think Kit will go crazy over this house.
Speaker 5Oh, they're so cute.
Mountain Climbing Safety and Balloon Mishap
Speaker 1We'll have to try to find some of that too. We're at 726.

Speaker 1Man Got a couple of them this morning. A lot of stuff, crazy stuff happening. One happened over the weekend. Did you see the video of the Oregon Amusement Park where the guests were stuck hanging upside down in the air for about 30 minutes? Oh my gosh what. It's one of those rides that pulls you up and flips you over, then it brings you back down. You know that kind of twirls you around. It's called the Atmosphere F-E-A-R. It's a spinning pendulum-style ride and it got stuck. It got to the top, the guests are upside down and it stopped.
Speaker 1Oh my God, it took them about 30 minutes to get between the first responders who got there and the park engineers to get them off. Some of the riders were so scared, thinking we're going to die. They began sending out texts and messages telling people I love you, I'm never going to see you again. That's probably what I would do. How would you handle this? Because you don't like amusement park rides.
Speaker 5I don't like amusement park rides, I don't like heights, I don't like to hang upside down and I don't like to be in one position for too long where I'm immobile and you can't do anything about it, and I hate it. So I would have panic attacks sometimes I would have a record, Guinness World Record panic attack. I bet you would I, would, I'd be like, okay, guys, start timing it.
Speaker 1I bet you, the first responders on the ground, will have to get out umbrellas everywhere. I get it. That would be a horrible that'd be awful, but they got them done. Everybody was okay, okay, but another crazy one, mount fuji. You know that people are really into mountain climbing. This started back really big time, like when you're in covid yeah people getting outdoors doing stuff.
Speaker 1Well, mount fuji, one of the most popular, I guess, highest mountains in Japan or it is the highest mountain. They're having problems. It's climbing season and starting on July 1st they're going to allow only 4,000 people a day to climb the mountain. They even had to put up a gate, much like an amusement park. You have to go through the turnstile to get up, to go up to the mountain.
Speaker 5Wow, $4,000 a day.
Speaker 1Yeah, and they're charging it out $13 to climb the mountain. And they're doing this because too many people are just going up there pushing, shoving, trying to get up the mountain and causing problems. Oh, the other biggest problem is they say that people are just making a mess. I know I read this about some of the other famous mountains that people climb and they're just making a mess. They leave their trash behind, they use the bathroom on the trails, right beside the trails and just leave it laying there.
Speaker 1Well, it's kind of like people. If you're climbing the mountain, treat it like your dog, taking it outside of the park If you poop pick pick it up, move it move, it kick it to the side, throw it all out into the forest somewhere, but they're now having turnstiles that you have to go through like you're going to an amusement park oh my gosh.
Speaker 5Okay, so it's 13. At first I was like they shouldn't charge anybody money to be climbing up a mountain, but then once you said that it makes so much sense about cleaning up somebody's got to clean it up. So I mean, I get that. $13 is not that expensive.
Speaker 1No, I mean climbing a mountain. You couldn't pay me to climb a mountain.
Speaker 5No, no, this is not something I'm going to be doing.
Speaker 1Some of those with the snow, like this one, it's beautiful, but the other ones with the snow and those dangerous ones, absolutely not. I've seen too many movies of those climbing up the mountains with the snow and all that stuff. No, not for me.
Speaker 5So what's the most? Yeah?
Speaker 1like Mount Everest.
Speaker 5What's the most adrenaline pumping thing you've ever done.
Speaker 1Probably in a hot air balloon. Oh yeah, but I'm done with those, I'm done.
Speaker 5Is it because you?
Speaker 1crashed Because I crashed because of the hot air balloon crash. It wasn't my fault. I had nothing to do with this one, but I was a rider.
Speaker 5I think you should tell this story. It goes along with the other ones.
Speaker 1Well, after, yeah, we were at the UFO days in 5M. They had like media days on like a thursday morning that people could come out and they would take you for a ride, if the weather permitting. It has to be a kind of like nice and calm, not too windy. Uh, this particular year, as many years ago, there was a hurricane coming up the gulf and the winds were picking up. So when we got there this morning they most of the balloon people said no, or it's too windy, we can't do this. This one guy said I can do it. Who wants to go? Of course me, and Dee Miller was here, raised her hand and said we'll go, so the three of us take off.
Speaker 5So wait, you call the station and you're live.
Speaker 1We're doing breaks, we're doing breaks and we are flying. I did it the year before and he's along. It's so beautiful, so peaceful, but I did it the year before and he, just like he's along.
Speaker 1It's so beautiful, so peaceful. Yeah, this year. The minute we went up it was like we were going like a jet. I thought this is not good, we're going way too fast. So we kept going and going and finally I could see the guy. The pilot was worried and I said how are we going to land this thing, I'm curious, when we're at the mercy of the wind? He said we're going to lower the balloon down a little and start hitting the basket where we're standing and start topping trees.
Speaker 1The trees will slow us down I said no, you're kidding. I thought he was kidding. He wasn't kidding.
Speaker 5And you were still on the phone with WQSP. I still am. We're doing a live break.
Speaker 1The balloon begins lowering and lowering, here comes this big pile of trees. Didn't he tell you to calm down? Told me to calm down. Then I had to blank the blank. You calm down. Yeah, live on the air. That's the only time you've cussed on it. It was so the balloons hit the top of the trees and we almost fell over. We're about probably 70, 80, 90 feet still in the air. And then the first ones didn't stop us, then the next ones, we hit the next group of trees and that's when you turn off this, like I don't know how you do it. The heat thing.
Speaker 1The ignition, whatever you turn that off and then it will help you come down some. Yeah, but we were going so fast that he said hold on, this is going to be a bumpy run. He wasn't lying, so we hit the ground and hit like a gravel pit Of all the places in the world we could have landed. It was like nothing but gravel and rocks and they flipped the basket over and threw all three of us out and drug us across the gravel pit. And the bad thing was we were live on the air. So my last words were we're about to crash.
Speaker 5And then shh silence.
Speaker 1And we were in a part of DeKalb County like in the middle of nowhere where there's no cell phone service. Oh no, so for the next 30 minutes people listening thought we were dead Because you couldn't hear. Did people call up to the station? What happened are?
Speaker 5they dead and nobody knew because we couldn't call back because we had no service. So, taking a step further, peter got involved because the balloon landed on these like bushes and, kiddingly, we're shooting a video.
Speaker 1And I said, yeah, we're all okay showing the bruises and over here I hadn't. The cows didn't fare so well. We killed three cows, but it wasn't cows, it was bushes. So this video went viral and peter got a hold of it and came to the station to investigate that we killed cows and you're the victim here. We had to convince them that we were just kidding.
Speaker 3There was no cows injured so they had to go up to the pasture we were at and we had to convince them that we were just kidding.
Speaker 5There was no cows injured, so they had to go up to the pasture we were at and prove, we had to prove to them we didn't kill any cows. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1It was a blank shelf.
Speaker 5I got nothing to top that one.
Speaker 1I will not go back in there again. No, it's 745.
Speaker 4Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's country giant WQSB.
Speaker 1It's time for Holly's Knowledge Nuggets Things you need to know, whether you know it or not. What have you got for us today?
Speaker 5Did you know that 60% of cat owners have argued with their cat?
Speaker 1No, I have not, because I've tried it once and you'll lose every time. The cat is never wrong.
Speaker 5Just like the wife.
Speaker 1And the cat will attack you wrong, just like the wife and the cat will attack you.
Speaker 5Yeah, just like the wife. Exactly the wife and the cat. They have so much in common because they're always going to win.
Speaker 1And for the cat if you go for the belly rub, most some will go okay with it, but most they may give you 10 to 15 seconds.
Speaker 5Can you argue with something if it doesn't argue back? You know.
Speaker 1Daddy, I could argue with a stop sign.
Speaker 5That you could.
Speaker 1I could yeah.
Speaker 5Well over 60% of men and women believe it is not appropriate to talk politics until after the third date.
Speaker 1I'll give you a heads up Probably ever, ever, whether it's politics, to a date or a friend or anybody, it's probably the one thing that can get you into more trouble than anything.
Speaker 5My mama and daddy fought over politics, and they've been married for over 37 years.
Speaker 1See, I mean, it's one of those things, you just need to be quiet.
Speaker 5Have your own beliefs.
Speaker 1Believe what you believe and then vote.
Speaker 5Well, it's just like radio. We don't give you guys what our political views are. We never will.
Music and Food Taste Test Banter

Speaker 5Yeah.

Speaker 5You can't cheat.
Speaker 1I'm hungry and it's little Debbie. Okay, now these are the donut sticks. Now, the only problem I've got with donut sticks is they feel so filling, so doughy. I feel like when I eat like a regular donut, like say from Cawthorne's, I'm not gaining a single pound because they're like flat as a feather.
Speaker 5Well, those from Cawthorne's are calorie-free. Are you guys eating? Another bite these feel like.

Speaker 1WQSB's country music news. Well, carrie Underwood was not injured, nobody hurt, but had a scarce Sunday night. Her home caught on fire. It must have been like an adjoining residence to the home because it said the home had no damage to the primary residence or the garage. But she said everything is okay. It happened Sunday night. The blaze was started by a UTV stored in the garage. Utility terrain vehicle Apparently. I don't know what happened. Maybe they pulled it too close to, maybe they've been riding it hard outside and they pulled it too close to something gas or something. Well, the couple's, luckily. The couple has a 10,000 gallon water tank. Dang Wow.
Speaker 1Just got one of them sitting around Just happy and that helped the firefighters put it out quickly. It proved to be very helpful in controlling and putting out the blaze and it was quickly contained. There was no fire damage to the primary residence Family pets. Everybody's okay, nobody was hurt Good.
Country Music Milestones and Animal Antics
Speaker 5Yep. Well, Kenny Chesney's take her home. Has scored the top spot on billboard country air play this week. This marks chesney's 36 number one at country radio. That's amazing 36, number one, that's think about that 36, yeah, now with 61 top 10 singles to his name. He also ties one of his musical idols, george, straight for achieving the most top ten singles since country airplay began in January of 1990.
Speaker 1So 61 have hit the top ten.
Speaker 2Yes.
Speaker 1That's amazing. And he has a new song coming out next week too. And speaking of former number one songs, this was number one last week Jelly Roll and Halfway to Hell on WQSP First morning's crime story animal story Tater. Tater is a black Labrador. Tater was playing a game of fetch and fetched more than he bargained for. The dog went for a walk in Gillette, wyoming, with his owners back a few days ago. But when they went back home they knew the puppy was actually acting very strangely. They say its tail was wagging about a thousand miles per hour. They say its tail was wagging about 1,000 miles per hour. Oh man, could not be still. After a quick visit to the vet, meth was found in Tater's system. No, it's suspected that he picked up the illegal drug during a game of fetch, they say. I guess when Tater was returning the tennis ball he somehow ingested meth laying somewhere near it, saw something you know like dogs will do and just start eating like a bug or something.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, Ate it and the dog says. Police were notified and combed through the park for additional drugs. Not sure what they found, but fortunately Tater was able to get back to his normal self like a few hours later.
Speaker 5Did Tater have to detox?
Speaker 1Yes. So Poor Tater. Tater said those tater just could not be still and just going crazy, His tail would not quit wagging. It was just all hyper and just all over the place.
Speaker 5It ain't meth.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 5That's awful. It was PETA's going to be out here again. Poor tater, I know poor tater, we don't condone this. No, that's awful.
Speaker 1All right mornings. Another animal story, moving from dogs to bears. A lot of bear break-ins. How about this one? A California bear, they say? The same bear broke into five different houses in two hours. Two hours it's like a serial, I don't know robber, whatever you call it, within two hours.
Speaker 5Do you think he made a bet with his friends Like I bet I can break into five houses in two hours.
Speaker 1Possibly.
Speaker 5Here, hold my bear, hold my bear.
Speaker 1Oh, that's good. Hold my bear. Yeah, but the bear has been accused and they have video footage showing it's the same bear and it's all around the neighborhood Dang. It broke into five homes and a couple of times it did damage to get in through the window or wherever, and how it got through. They said nobody was injured. But it broke into five homes, mostly going in through the garage, when the garage might have been left open a little bit the garage. But a couple times it broke in through the window Doesn't say what it was going in for, but one time it did show the bear running out with a package of frozen chicken, so somehow it got the freezer door open and got some chicken. These bears lately, their smell is like amazing.
Speaker 5It is they door open and got some chicken. These bears, lately their smell is like amazing it is. They can pick up on things. Yeah, they say, don't. I mean when you're camping they say you got to be super careful or they'll break in and get your stuff okay, I hate to ask do you have any bear? What do you call a bear without any teeth? I?
Speaker 1think I know this when Go ahead.

Speaker 1Barry and Holly on Alabama's Country Giant WQSB, we head out this morning Got the words of wisdom, the quote of the day and this one. You know we've looked for quotes from all realms of life, like, say, ronda Rousey yeah, she's probably one of the best American martial artists and wrestlers in history and I don't think she's doing it anymore, she's into more of an acting. But she had a quote and I thought we should share this with them.
Self-Confidence and Social Media Influence
Speaker 5I love this one. It says once you give them the power to tell you you're great, you've also given them the power to tell you you're unworthy. Once you start caring about people's opinions of you, you give up control.
Speaker 1It's good to think about what people say, but the minute you start worrying yourself over what you're wearing how do I look? What am I going to if I say the wrong thing? You can't spend too much time worrying about these little things because it doesn't matter. Nine times out of ten, people won't remember one thing about what you wore, what you said or how you looked when you leave them.
Speaker 5Yeah, I think a big part of this, too, is with social media. People try to make their lives look perfect on social media. Nobody's life is perfect. You guys, we're all struggling out here, and once you, it says, once you start caring about people's opinions of you, you give up control. So once you start caring about what people do or think about you, you have no control anymore. Don't give that up.
Speaker 1So just do you Be. You Be the best you can be and don't worry about what they think. Just be the best you can be. It's 857.
