Speaker 5:Yeah, I'm a pizza-ola.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'll admit, you did a great job yesterday.
Speaker 5:Hey, I spun that pizza.
Speaker 1:I 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 5:In 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 1:He'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 5:I should have asked him that yesterday.
Speaker 1:He's the best.
Speaker 5:That'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 1:And I'm proud Because he let you make a small cheese pizza.
Speaker 5:A 10 inch yeah.
Speaker 1:Just 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 5:Y'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 1:want to see you make a pizza on the lawnmower.
Speaker 5:I'll do it.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 5:With a zero turn, doing donuts.
Speaker 1:Zero turn.
Speaker 5:Just flipping that dough going in circles.
Speaker 1:How did it feel when you were tossing the dough in the air? Scary yeah.
Speaker 5:Because I was afraid I was going to drop it Because it's very flimsy.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 5:And doughy, I mean it's dough, yeah, so like it's heavy.
Speaker 1:You're spinning it to make it go from a small amount of dough to A bigger, a big pizza yeah.
Speaker 5:And I did. I spinned it a couple times.
Speaker 1:It was impressive.
Speaker 5:Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 5:I 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 1:Yeah, 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 5:Oh yeah, oh yeah, and it was so much fun. We had so much fun down there.
Speaker 1:They were so nice to us, yeah, and they had QSP blasting inside.
Speaker 5:They do. They listen to WQSP, so if they're there this morning, we love you guys so much. We had so much fun.
Speaker 1:Thank 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 5:Yeah, 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 1:This 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 5:Yeah, 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 1:Yeah, 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 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And 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 5:No, 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 1:Whoa.
Speaker 5:Crystal 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 1:Gay Morgan says a collapsible drinking cup.
Speaker 5:Oh yeah, Okay, I like that grandmother.
Speaker 1:That's odd, that's unusual.
Speaker 5:Be sure and post.
Speaker 1:Let 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 5:Today'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 1:I 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 5:Come on, man, I'm only reading the story. If you play yummy.
Speaker 1:I'll find it in a minute, okay.
Speaker 5:All right, so I'll find it in a minute. Okay, all right, so here's some etiquette. Yes, there's some etiquette.
Speaker 1:Hold 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 5:No, Barry.
Speaker 1:You ate the wrong sushi. Who got it? I don't remember.
Speaker 5:But you can get it cooked too, though.
Speaker 1:Then it's not raw, then if it's cooked.
Speaker 5:Well, no, but it's still sushi. I get shrimp tempura rolls. It's fried shrimp in rice, cream cheese, celery.
Speaker 1:That sounds better.
Speaker 5:Seaweed. How about seaweed? It's good, it's so good for you too.
Speaker 1:I've had that stuff in my swim trunks before. It's nasty.
Speaker 5:You don't eat it, no.
Speaker 1:I'm trying my best to get it out.
Speaker 5:So 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 1:Hold on. Why do they how?
Speaker 5:Because you eat sushi with your hands. Oh.
Speaker 1:Or chopsticks.
Speaker 5:If you can't get it with the chopsticks, you get it with your hands.
Speaker 1:Okay, are you supposed to eat it with chopsticks only?
Speaker 5:Or your hands. Okay, not a fork.
Speaker 3:Gotcha Mm-hmm.
Speaker 5:And 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 1:Gotcha, you're saying, yeah, it's not good enough.
Speaker 5:It's not good. It needs sauce.
Speaker 1:So why can you not mix those together?
Speaker 5:Because you're making your own A1 or Heinz oh.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 5:Yeah, 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 1:Somebody once said that you must eat it in one bite.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You cannot eat it Is that because if you take just one bite, you're going to get sick and throw up?
Speaker 5:No, barry, no, it's because it falls apart.
Speaker 1:It's like an oyster, it's just good.
Speaker 5:No, 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 1:I just want to know.
Speaker 5:I think people are going to be torn.
Speaker 1:I want my food cooked. Yeah, okay, well, anyway.
Speaker 5:Tell me if you heard about this. Carrie Underwood has shared details about the house fire that took place on her home Sunday night.
Speaker 1:That was scary, did you hear about that. I did, I did.
Speaker 5:It was started by a UTV stored in the garage. Oh, v's stored in the garage Like an ATV.
Speaker 1:Like 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 5:So 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 1:you have a 10,000 gallon water tank.
Speaker 5:I guess just in case.
Speaker 1:Was 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 5:water tank. It was a pool. The fire was contained. I don't know how, but there was no damage to the residents.
Speaker 1:Good.
Speaker 5:And the family and their pets are unharmed. Good.
Speaker 1:I love Carrie Underwood I do yeah, good to hear that.
Speaker 5:And 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 1:Oh no, oh no.
Speaker 5:One 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 1:That leaves it wide open there what you could buy. Okay, what did he do?
Speaker 5:He bought her a treadmill.
Speaker 1:Take, 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 4:Mornings with Barry and Hall here on Alabama's country giant WQSB. Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy Crazy, but true.
Speaker 1:Crazy but true. We talked about this yesterday, about what you keep in your purse. Well, you don't even have a purse.
Speaker 5:I don't even have one.
Speaker 1:But 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 5:Yeah, like, like powder stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 5:Yeah, my mama didn't kiss me.
Speaker 1:I don't want snuff sugar.
Speaker 5:Yeah, 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 1:we were talking about Sure do.
Speaker 5:She 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 1:So grandma would chew the end off of a stick? Yes, wow.
Speaker 5:Isn't that?
Speaker 1:gross. 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 5:Oh, it was sorry. It's sweet Bruton, so it was Bruton.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was Bruton. My grandmother used it.
Speaker 5:My daddy said red top, but my mom said Bruton, so I don't know.
Speaker 1:So what was with the stick then? What was with the?
Speaker 5:So 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 1:You 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 5:My 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 1:What was the perfume?
Speaker 5:It's called Toujou Moi.
Speaker 1:Whoa Toujoumois Whoa.
Speaker 5:Toujoumois.
Speaker 1:Okay, hold on, let me do it one more time, toujoumois. What does that mean? I?
Speaker 5:don'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 1:That's not what I'm looking for.
Speaker 5:She's an idiot. Do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, my grandmother's Did it.
Speaker 1:have 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 1:Sherry 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 5:Really 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 1:I have to change, yeah before you load me up, let me change my drawers. Hold on.
Speaker 5:Ma'am, is there anything from your car that you need?
Speaker 1:I need my clean underwear, right there in the glove box Right next to my snuff.
Speaker 5:Don't forget my sweet gum stick.
Speaker 1:So does your mother carry anything unusual?
Speaker 5:No, she always carries a handkerchief and she has like change at the bottom. What?
Speaker 1:Nothing else. What? Because this woman here says she has a tape measure in her purse yeah, she did.
Speaker 5:My mom always has a tape measure.
Speaker 1:Is this a thing? Because Rhonda Hill says her mom and grandmother had tape measure, knife and fingernail clippers.
Speaker 5:Yup, and Carolyn Kenworthy says a little sewing kit for replacing buttons.
Speaker 1:Yeah, why do you need the tape measure?
Speaker 5:Savannah, 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 1:I 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 5:Jake jacob minyard says tomatoes what no no, those are squished they don't carry tomatoes. No.
Speaker 1:Ralph Tedder says, those strawberry hard candies. Yes, I love those.
Speaker 5:Yes, I told you those, yes, I love those. I love those yeah.
Speaker 1:Carrie Abbott, the stick of gum torn in half that tasted like cigarettes and perfume.
Speaker 5:Okay, so my mama used to smoke yeah, and I know exactly what she's talking about Because she would save her cigarettes.
Speaker 1:She 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 5:Now 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 1:Okay, 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 1:yeah, 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.
Speaker 5:I love Jelly Roll.
Speaker 1:He 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 5:jelly 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 1:I 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 5:Yeah, I just don't like the way he looks, the fact that he was a rap singer.
Speaker 1:What 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 5:No, 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 1:He wants to help people.
Speaker 5:He does yeah.
Speaker 1:Not make the mistakes he made.
Speaker 5:I love Jelly.
Speaker 1:I 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 5:Oh yeah, yes, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:My 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 5:Oh well, Kay Murphy, I just refreshed it. She got snuffed, too Snuffed in her grandmother's purse.
Speaker 1:Yes, morgan, nolan says Weathers Original Candy. Those are like the caramel ones. Oh yeah, those are so good, those are good.
Speaker 5:I 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 1:Those 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 1:Something'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 5:why 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 1:Switch cards 350.
Speaker 5:Yeah, 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 1:But 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 5:It's like half of that Way smaller, probably half the size of a matchbook.
Speaker 1:But 350 of them.
Speaker 5:Yeah, a matchbook would probably make up two, so imagine having 100. I was half of 350.
Speaker 1:175?.
Speaker 5:Imagine having 175 matchbooks in each side.
Speaker 1:Well, she must have put like a 201 side and 150 on the other.
Speaker 5:That's why she's a little, she got busted.
Speaker 1:The proportion did right, she probably wouldn't have noticed.
Speaker 5:She's just okay no big deal.
Speaker 1:But 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 4:WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly.
Speaker 1:What's going on in the world Time for Holly's pile of stories and a lot of injuries with some of the actors and people on TV and movies right.
Speaker 5:Yeah so actor Ian McClellan, he's 85. He was hospitalized after falling off London mid-stage or mid-performance.
Speaker 1:He fell off the stage.
Speaker 5:Yes, he fell off the stage mid-performance 85?
Speaker 1:Yes, now he's been in. What X-Men?
Speaker 5:Lord of the Rings. Yeah, he wasn't Gandalf, was he?
Speaker 1:I don't remember. I know X-Men is one of the big ones. Yeah, he fell off mid-performance but he's okay.
Speaker 5:Yeah, Gordon Ramsay says he's lucky to be alive after a recent bicycle accident where he didn't break any bones, but it did leave him a bit bruised up and looking like a purple potato.
Speaker 1:Of course he would compare his injuries to a food item To a food item. I know.
Speaker 5:I'm so excited to tell you about this one. A self-produced CD of Taylor Swift's early recordings, featuring demos and covers she used to showcase her talent at 11 years old 11 years old Was auctioned for over $12,000. That's kind of cheap.
Speaker 1:Hopefully somebody will give us a chance to hear these.
Speaker 5:I'd love to.
Speaker 1:I'd love to hear what she sounded like when she was 11 years old.
Speaker 5:I know, I know, and this one makes me really sad. In a new interview, stevie Nicks says that Fleetwood Mac is officially done. Oh, I love.
Speaker 1:Fleetwood.
Speaker 5:Mac. They're done, barry, I love.
Speaker 1:Fleetwood Mac.
Speaker 5:I know she says that following the death of Christine back in 2022, there's no chance that the group will reform.
Speaker 1:I 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 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And it wouldn't be fair to have somebody else step in and take her place.
Speaker 5:No, it wouldn't.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 5:And 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 1:Still not going to help.
Speaker 5:Hold 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 1:They 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 5:This 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 1:I 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 5:They're going to mute the mic One of and talking to his mic. It's going to be a free-for-all.
Speaker 3:It'll be fun. So it's a week from.
Speaker 4:Thursday.
Speaker 1:Have to watch that one. It's 6.54. Birthdays are next.
Speaker 4:Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's country giant WQSB. Shirley, you can't be serious.
Speaker 1:I am serious and don't call me Shirley, totally serious, I didn't know this. Rice Krispies Do you like Rice Krispies? I?
Speaker 5:do I like Rice?
Speaker 1:Krispie 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 1:Yeah, 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 5:No, it should be like snap, crackle, pop and fizz Fizz yeah.
Speaker 1:But does the cereal fizz? I guess that goes with it, it goes ssss. Okay.
Speaker 5:Snap crackle pop and crunch. Okay, better than growl.
Speaker 1:Yeah, these are tough, or shriek Shriek. Who wants that?
Speaker 5:when you're thinking, Snap crackle pop and shriek yeah, hey kids, I got your snap.
Speaker 1:I 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 5:My 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 1:then no, no, but I'm just going over names. It could have been Uh-huh, could have been.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I'm playing it nice. The snap, crackle pop and burst Burst I don't know Bust, Bust, Bust.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 5:We're going with three cannonballs today. Three, yeah, we're going three because we got some pop-up summer showers.
Speaker 1:We got some just a slight chance this morning. There's going to be more clouds and sun later today.
Speaker 5:Yeah, it's just going to be a cloudy day. You still want to wear your sunscreen?
Speaker 1:You still get lots of UV rays, even with the cloud coverage, and the wind will have blister you too.
Speaker 5:Yes, it will, you won't feel it as much. Yes, yes, so three and a flip.
Speaker 1:Alright, 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 5:I 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 1:That'd be a face buster.
Speaker 5:No, you flip. Give it some spring action in your legs.
Speaker 1:You must have a high jump, because most people jump about two feet off the ground.
Speaker 5:You projectile jump.
Speaker 1:I want to watch you jump into the water and do a cannonball and a flip. I want to see this.
Speaker 5:All right, I'll take a video.
Speaker 1:Well, after you show us the video of you making a pizza yesterday, I want to see you doing a video of a cannonball.
Speaker 5:She can do it all.
Speaker 1:With 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 5:Oh, 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 1:I'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 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:If 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 5:Yeah, If you value their opinions, then yeah absolutely.
Speaker 1:Well, 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 5:People do that.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, that's awful.
Speaker 5:Yeah, that's like saying, hey, you're doing a really good job washing my car, but you could do better.
Speaker 1:They don't say it to you. Oh, that's mainly the boss. What oh the?
Speaker 5:boss is telling you you're not doing a good job.
Speaker 1:So they're not telling you that it's just me that's scary.
Speaker 5:They don't tell me that. Oh wow, that's scary.
Speaker 1:Wow Okay, I did not know that.
Speaker 5:Maybe that was the Mississippi meeting that you were supposed to have yesterday.
Speaker 1:Well, you weren't in there, so I guess that's why you got the good meeting.
Speaker 5:I told you you get crossed the line.
Speaker 1:Okay, sorry, just forget that. Snap crackle and pop comment there, all right? 7-17.
Speaker 4:Barry 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 1:Pepsi'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 5:okay, 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 1:I didn't have one last year, did you?
Speaker 5:I've never seen it.
Speaker 1:They 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 5:Yeah, yeah, we'll try to find one and test it, because we're trying something next hour.
Speaker 1:Right, we have a new food.
Speaker 5:Yes, we do. We have apple cinnamon donut sticks. They're brand new. I love donut sticks.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 1:So 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 5:Yeah. 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 1:I 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 5:And Cold Stone, which Albertville is getting one soon.
Speaker 1:Soon soon.
Speaker 5:Cold 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 1:Yeah.
Speaker 5:With 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 1:I think it's a great idea.
Speaker 5:It is it is.
Speaker 1:I love the Despicable Me movies, the Minion movies and I think Kit will go crazy over this house.
Speaker 5:Oh, they're so cute.
Speaker 1:We'll have to try to find some of that too. We're at 726.

Speaker 1:Man 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 1:Oh 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 5:I 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 1:I 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 1:Well, 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 5:Wow, $4,000 a day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 1:Well, 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 5:Okay, 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 1:No, I mean climbing a mountain. You couldn't pay me to climb a mountain.
Speaker 5:No, no, this is not something I'm going to be doing.
Speaker 1:Some 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 5:So what's the most? Yeah?
Speaker 1:like Mount Everest.
Speaker 5:What's the most adrenaline pumping thing you've ever done.
Speaker 1:Probably in a hot air balloon. Oh yeah, but I'm done with those, I'm done.
Speaker 5:Is it because you?
Speaker 1:crashed 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 5:I think you should tell this story. It goes along with the other ones.
Speaker 1:Well, 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 5:So wait, you call the station and you're live.
Speaker 1:We'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 1:It'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 1:The trees will slow us down I said no, you're kidding. I thought he was kidding. He wasn't kidding.
Speaker 5:And you were still on the phone with WQSP. I still am. We're doing a live break.
Speaker 1:The 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 1:The 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 5:And then shh silence.
Speaker 1:And 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 5:they 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 1:And 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 3:There 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 5:There 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 1:It was a blank shelf.
Speaker 5:I got nothing to top that one.
Speaker 1:I will not go back in there again. No, it's 745.
Speaker 4:Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's country giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:It'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 5:Did you know that 60% of cat owners have argued with their cat?
Speaker 1:No, I have not, because I've tried it once and you'll lose every time. The cat is never wrong.
Speaker 5:Just like the wife.
Speaker 1:And the cat will attack you wrong, just like the wife and the cat will attack you.
Speaker 5:Yeah, just like the wife. Exactly the wife and the cat. They have so much in common because they're always going to win.
Speaker 1:And 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 5:Can you argue with something if it doesn't argue back? You know.
Speaker 1:Daddy, I could argue with a stop sign.
Speaker 5:That you could.
Speaker 1:I could yeah.
Speaker 5:Well over 60% of men and women believe it is not appropriate to talk politics until after the third date.
Speaker 1:I'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 5:My mama and daddy fought over politics, and they've been married for over 37 years.
Speaker 1:See, I mean, it's one of those things, you just need to be quiet.
Speaker 5:Have your own beliefs.
Speaker 1:Believe what you believe and then vote.
Speaker 5:Well, it's just like radio. We don't give you guys what our political views are. We never will.
Speaker 1:No, because it don't matter what we believe. I don't understand these celebrities who get on stage and ruin their careers because they get up there and tell what they believe. I didn't pay money to come hear your political beliefs. I paid money for you to sing to me.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Sing me a song that I like.
Speaker 5:Are you telling you to sing to me?
Speaker 1:Yeah, sing me a song that I like, are you?

Speaker 5:You can't cheat.
Speaker 1:I'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 5:Well, those from Cawthorne's are calorie-free. Are you guys eating? Another bite these feel like.

Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Now what about you? Do you like donut sticks at all?
Speaker 5:I like them. Okay, I'm not a huge fan.

Speaker 4:But that tastes good that Country news is next. Wqsb Mornings with Barry and Holly.
Speaker 1:WQSB'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 1:Just 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.
Speaker 5:Yep. 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 1:So 61 have hit the top ten.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:That'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 1:Yeah, 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 5:Did Tater have to detox?
Speaker 1:Yes. 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 5:It ain't meth.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 5:That'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 1:All 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 5:Do you think he made a bet with his friends Like I bet I can break into five houses in two hours.
Speaker 1:Possibly.
Speaker 5:Here, hold my bear, hold my bear.
Speaker 1:Oh, 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 5:It 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 1:think I know this when Go ahead.
Speaker 5:A gummy bear. Okay, another one. What does a grizzly bear use to catch fish?
Speaker 1:A grizzly bear use to catch fish? I don't know.
Speaker 5:His bear hand.
Speaker 1:That's pretty good. Okay, another one.
Speaker 5:All right. Where do bears go when they want to visit their family far away? I don't know the bear port. Those are awful.
Speaker 1:I know those are bad.
Speaker 5:They're better than your bun, no.
Speaker 1:I'm still getting phone calls on that no, you are not. The Tonight Show asked me to quit now and come be a writer. Yeah, it's 843.
Speaker 1:Barry 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.
Speaker 5:I 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 1:It'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 5:Yeah, 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 1:So 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.
