Speaker 5All right, today is Barry Galloway's birthday. Yes, that's the air horn, oh yeah, but on this day in 1890, idaho became our 43rd state. So congratulations for sharing that day.
Speaker 1Way to go Idaho.
Speaker 5On this day, they revealed their official state slogan For all you do, this bud's for you.
Speaker 1No, you didn't get this.
Speaker 5I didn't get it.
Speaker 1Years ago, bud Weiser had a campaign called this Buds for you Uh-huh. So Idaho being the potato state, uh-huh. This spuds for you, uh-huh. And here's one of the commercials they used to do.
Speaker 4Yeah, just for you, that distinctively clean, crisp taste that says Budweiser. Ah, they had a jingle.
Speaker 1It does sound like Spud on there, then they even had the Spud McKenzie, the dog that came through. Have you ever seen Spud McKenzie? No, there was a spokesperson who had. This dog became famous for about a year. Spud was in all the commercials Spud for Bud Look up Spud McKenzie in a minute.
Speaker 5Why did they stop that? Why did they let Spud was in all the commercials? Spud for Bud. Look up Spud McKenzie in a minute. Why did they stop that? Why did they let Spud go? I don't know.
Speaker 1It was a big campaign. For a while Budweiser had some of the best commercials, because then they had the Budweiser frogs who came in. Have you ever seen the Budweiser frogs? Never, they had all of these great campaigns.
Speaker 5Oh my gosh, Spud McKenzie, it's so cute. And it was in commercials for about a year or maybe longer, maybe two or three years, I guess he died.
Speaker 1Possibly yeah.
Speaker 5It says why did he ban? It was to replace the urge to encourage underage drinking and glamorize the use of alcohol.
Speaker 1That makes sense, so kids began liking the commercials too.
Speaker 5Yeah, don't use the dog. Yeah, now you got to use the Clydesdale horses.
Speaker 1He was about the time that the Tuckabell dog also came out. You didn't know that either. There's a lot of old commercials that used animals for a while. I do remember that one, but anyway.
Speaker 5Lou Bryan doesn't know if he's going to be invited back to be a judge on the 2025 season of American Idol. Oh, I know. In an interview he said he isn't sure what the show producers have planned. He said it's been something Disney has been really tight-lipped about with me and Lionel and Ryan. We currently haven't heard what the story is about. Who's coming back?
Speaker 1You know Katy Perry left. I think that'd be crazy to clean house because Idol became popular again with those three judges. Yes, yes. Lionel Richie they had such good chemistry. Now Katy leaving, I think they can still get by with Luke and Lionel. They're a good third judge. But if all three leave, I see Idol going back down again.
Speaker 5Yeah, I hate that. I do too. Well, here's something to think about. Okay, here's a food tip for you. If someone ever invites you over to eat a new dish called Himalayan rabbit stew for dinner, don't.
Speaker 1Himalayan rabbit stew yes.
Speaker 5Okay, Don't go. What happened? I found out, and I found out the hard way, that more than likely they found him laying in the road.
Speaker 1They found him a-laying in the road.
Speaker 5You get it Him a-laying, him a-laying in the road.
Speaker 1Got that. Just say no, all right. 616. Do make a note of our big blood drive coming up on Friday, july the 26th, right here at the QSB Studios. We've had two last year. We had a summer drive like this one, then we had one around Christmas and man, the turnout was amazing. We were shooting for 105, and we went well over that both times.
Speaker 5Yeah, and we're shooting for 105 this time too. To the first 105 people that come by, they get a free gift.
Speaker 1Yeah, and we've lined up stuff like anything from gift cards to food, cash and of the first 105, your name goes into another drawing where one of you will then win an extra $105. That's right. Yeah, so we're giving a heads up now. It's still three weeks away, but then, in case you plan on giving blood, please do if you can. We don't want to say don't give blood, wait until hours, but if you'd like to be part of this one, it's coming up on July the 26th.
Speaker 5Yeah.
Speaker 1So that's going to be live south. It'll be here, set up outside the studio, so get ready for that. Hey, thank you for the birthday wishes, and we got some donuts brought in this morning.
Speaker 5Yeah, thank you to Dr Skelton's office.
Speaker 1Thank you so much. We're Mrs Currington. Hallelujah, nothing yet.
Speaker 5Hallelujah.
Speaker 1But hopefully Mrs Currington will bring a. I'm looking for a Brinks truck to back up any time now A.
Speaker 5Brinks truck. Yeah, it's not going to be Brinks. Well, it's Loomis.
Speaker 1Loomis, is that the one now? Loomis, yeah, that just doesn't have the same ring to it, like the underwear.
Speaker 5No, it's Loomis I don't care who brings?
Speaker 1it If it's struck back, except with cash, I'm good.
Speaker 5We don't care. You can bring Barry $5 if you want to guys, no yeah just drop off $5 of the. Barry Galloway birthday fund.
Speaker 1If you're shopping, it better be more than $5. It's true, no, but there's a lot of nice comments coming in. I appreciate this. This is very nice, because usually I take the birthday off.
Speaker 5Yeah.
Speaker 1I don't know why I just decided to work this year because it falls in the middle of the week, so why not? And I do wonder how many people are going to have to be off tomorrow for the fourth and go back on Friday.
Speaker 5Yeah.
Speaker 1That's kind of bad. I think they should give you the rest of the week off.
Speaker 5I know they should. They should give you both days.
Speaker 1But not on radio. No, because somebody wants to ask well, who works there on holidays? We do, we do.
Speaker 5Like every day.
Speaker 1Well, you don't have anybody special that comes. No, what do you mean? Like the weekend, birthday, holiday people?
Speaker 5This is a 365 days a year job.
Speaker 1That 365 days a year job. That's the beauty about this company. There are a lot of radio stations. If you were to tune in now, you may hear somebody, but they're not in the building. Right, and they're not local to you, they're not local, they're not there, but here we always have somebody in this room and so, again, that means a lot because we're here for the people, for the listeners, and thank you for the comments, like here's Tyler Hales. Thank you, tyler, kim Cleveland, I love yours, kim. It's got a picture of a that's.
Speaker 5Steven the dog.

Speaker 5Yes, thank you to Cody Henson from Lashes by Cody.
Speaker 1She was awesome, did a fantastic job.
Speaker 5She did. She was so nervous because we were going on air and she just didn't want to fail or do bad, and she did a great job on all of you guys Will. Looks like he's another.
Speaker 1He does, I didn't recognize him A different person yeah.
Speaker 5Mike looks great. He came in and I was like, okay, he looks good. But then by the end of the day I was like wow, he's really thin.

Speaker 5It builds gradually.
Speaker 1I mean Mike looks like he's like Will, like the lifeguards at the nursing home pool or whatever, Whatever. Like lifeguards at the nursing home pool or whatever, whatever Fit right in.
Speaker 5Wouldn't that be a mess. That would be tough Pool day at the nursing home, dang Pool noodles all over the place.
Speaker 1Noodles Everywhere yeah, but no, but Cody was fantastic. You can see the Facebook Live on our Facebook page. It's still up there.
Speaker 5Yes, and it was fun. Tell them what you did to your calves.
Speaker 1Yeah, now you part of the reason we did this. It wasn't because I wanted a spray tan. I've never had one before, yeah, and I think Jeff Allen disowned me. I think you're right. I think you're right, yeah, but anyway, part of it was if Brumbalo, mike Allamee would all get a spray tan.
Speaker 5That's right.
Speaker 1So we went over 23,000 pounds and that was awesome. That was a bet. I didn't mind losing, yeah, but anyway, we had the spray tans done and Cody did this and she's going to be joining us Is it next week? Can we come and talk?
Speaker 5about her business. Yeah, next week she's going to come in and talk to us. She does all kinds of things like eyelashes and sugar waxing and spray tanning. She does all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1And give them details because she's part of her big deal this week.
Speaker 5She is yeah, you can go on the big deal website which is wqsbcom and then click on the little piggy bank and then you can get $20 of services for $10. So her spray tans are $30. So you can get $10 off.
Speaker 1You sure can, so it's a good deal. So get you some of those coupons while these last and they're on our website. But anyway, back to the spray tan. That stuff is cold.
Speaker 5I know and I told you.
Speaker 1I wasn't expecting that.
Speaker 5It's like when you put on sunscreen, but colder. So you decided to put st. I wasn't expecting that. I know it's like when you put on sunscreen, but colder Uh-huh, yeah, it's cold it was and then.
Speaker 1So you decided to put stint, because you do Cricket Cricket Describe that.
Speaker 5Okay, so it's just vinyl letters and I cut out the letters WQSB in vinyl so they stuck to your leg. It's like sticky, and then we spray painted over it right then, cody, let it dry we peeled them off and it's solid white, solid white wqsb. You gotta see the video. If you don't watch the whole video of him getting spray tan, at least fast forward to the part where we peel off the wqsb, because we all of our reactions were just ah.
Speaker 1It was funny because we went to have lunch after we left, went to Los Arcos and looking at some of the people. They give you the double take, you walk by and they go. Whoa, he's got letters on his leg. He should know better.
Speaker 5I know, but hey, it's different than like. What if you had to get that tattooed?
Speaker 1At least it washes off yeah yeah, so anyway, yes, the glow is still there.

It's July 13th at the beautiful City Harbor, so if you've never been there, it's a good time to come out and join us.
Speaker 5Yeah, and they're going to have a shuttle service so you don't have to worry about parking. Don't think that there's going to be too much of a crowd for you to be able to park to walk to City Harbor because they are running two shuttles.
Speaker 1Yeah, so we'll be giving you more details as we do get closer. In the meantime, Holly's pile of stories. I'm excited You've never seen the Beverly Hills Cop movies. We were talking about this earlier.
Speaker 5You've never seen those with Eddie Murphy. No, I've never seen them.
Speaker 1They are good, and Eddie Murphy is back today.
Speaker 5Yeah, you'll have to tell me what this. Okay, what this is about Eddie Murphy's detective Axel Foley Is that his name in there?
Speaker 2Axel Foley is the character.
Speaker 5He's back in a brand new Beverly Hills Cop movie. New Beverly Hills Cop movie yeah, three decades after Axel's last assignment, beverly Hills Cop, axel F. It premieres today on Netflix.
Speaker 1He's like a Detroit detective, I think that went to California, beverly Hills, to investigate I think it was a murder or something and ends up getting into trouble himself. But this was back when Eddie Murphy was probably at his peak Peak yeah. And the Beverly Hills Cop movies were very good. What I read this morning was this one is as good as, if not better than, some of the other ones.
Speaker 5No way.
Speaker 1So it's on Netflix starting today. So if you're looking for something to watch, I'm definitely going to watch this. Well, you need to go back and watch the first one, so you'll understand these. But yeah, I'm going to watch that for sure.
Speaker 5Yep Well, the first edition copy of the horror classic Frankenstein was sold for $843,000. This is the book yes, wow, it's a Mary Shelley novel First published in 1818, so just a couple years ago. It's widely regarded as a pioneering work in the horror genre.
Speaker 1Classic. Did you ever see the Frankenstein movies? Oh yeah.
Speaker 5Love them. Yeah, my favorite one I know it's goofy.
Speaker 1Is the young frankenstein, oh my gosh. And gene wilder gene wilder.
Speaker 5Yes, that's one of my favorite. Yeah, I love that movie. I like when his head gets stuck in the spinning, like whatever that is. That's the case and his head gets stuck anyway he has to go find the brain.
Speaker 1Yeah, you got the wrong one. It's Abby someone, abby normal yeah.
Speaker 5Over the weekend, Elvis Presley's blue suede shoes were sold at auction and they went for $150,000.
Speaker 1These were the ones he wore performing on TV, right On the Steve Allen show.
Speaker 5Yeah, goodness Do you remember the Steve Allen show.
Speaker 1No, I don't. I've never heard of that, I've never heard of that.
Speaker 5Yeah, eating champion Joey Chestnut was disinvited from Nathan's famous 4th of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest, but he will still be chowing down. On Thursday, chestnut will be on Fort Bliss in El Paso, texas, competing against Army soldiers. The soldiers' combined score will be counted against Chestnut.
Speaker 1No, yeah, their combined score. I wonder how many soldiers will be doing this. I don't know, because Joey can eat anywhere from 60 to 70. You've got to think these soldiers must not be able to eat very many hot dogs if they've got to combine all their scores just to try to beat him.
Speaker 5He has it down, joey Chestnut has it down to an art he does.
Speaker 1It's weird. The weird thing is, since he was not allowed to be at this one, he and the other guy I forget Kobayashi they're going to go head-to-head on Netflix in a few weeks, in just a one-on-one contest.
Speaker 5It's just not the same as it being on the 4th, though.
Speaker 1No, the 4th is just like the day you watch the disgusting hot dog eating contest. So now you watch disgusting hot dog eating.
Speaker 5So now, tomorrow we'll have a brand new champion and I just wonder how many they can eat. I wonder if there's going to be a lot of people viewing like are people going to boycott because Joey Chestnut, or are they going to be curious on who the new champion is?
Speaker 1usually the person who finishes second only gets about 40 or 50, not even close to Joey's total see that's not as impressive.
Speaker 5No, it's not. I don't think I'll watch 50, not even close to Joey's total.
Speaker 1See, that's not impressive?
Speaker 4No, it's not, I don't know, I think I'll watch, I don't think so.
Speaker 1653 birthdays are next.

Speaker 5No, we already had it Our business of the day. No, we already had it planned out.
Birthday Celebrations and Sweet Surprises
Speaker 1But thank you very much for that Cannonball. All right, kind of a tough forecast today, the Cannonball Pool Party forecast, because, much like yesterday, it's going to be a mix of sun and clouds, but heat advisory 95 to high. It's going to feel like 100 to 108. So between 1 and 5 cannonballs, how many will it take today to cool you down?
Speaker 5I'm going to say 3. It's the 3 cannonball day. It's going to be hot, it's going to be humid. It's going to be hot, it's going to be humid, it's going to be cloudy. So I really base the cannonball forecast on the sun and the heat and the temperature and all kinds of things.
Speaker 1That's a good one. You'll probably see more clouds than what you would like to see today. That's good, and then the quote of the day. I thought we should find one dealing with birthdays, since today's my birthday.
Speaker 5So how about today's birthday quote? Abraham lincoln said in the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years. I love that.
Speaker 1I love that that's so good sometimes health may permit you from being as active as you'd like, but uh, if you're still around, do what you can. Get up and move around. You know, just be active the best you can.
Speaker 5Yeah, do what makes you happy too.
Speaker 1Do what brings you joy. Don't let numbers hold you back just because you're a certain age. Get out there and enjoy yourself. Be as active as you can.
Speaker 5Are you feeling old? Is that why you're saying this? No, I'm saying because I got a spray tan now and I got my shoulder fixed so I dollar like a 75 man, brand new.
Speaker 4Yeah, it's all I can afford here in radio at 7 15 mornings with barry and holly here on alabama's country, giant wqsb eating these sausage balls this morning, but that is okay, these are good thank you, jamie jamie centers stopped by, dropped off some, uh some stuff.
Speaker 1Uh, we have cupcakes here, we have donuts and we have sausage balls and a big old Dr Pepper.
Speaker 5Yes, a cold one too, my favorite drink.
Speaker 1Thank you, so you have to arrange this Uh-huh. Thank you so much. You're welcome, and thank you, jamie. It's always good to see everybody. Jamie, come by.
Speaker 5Don't forget about those bull peanuts.
Speaker 1Bull peanuts too, yes, Bill Prickett's already claimed a handful of those I know, and Rachel and Rachel too. Yeah, so that's very sweet. So thank you, it's been a great day so far. Yeah, it has From Scott Chambers arranging Dolly Parton to sing Happy Birthday. Yeah, isn't that neat? That's very neat. I know you said there.
Speaker 5There's still a little bit more to come. That's fine, we're not done.
Speaker 1No, and thank you for all the comments. People are commenting on Facebook. Thank you, that does mean a lot and wow, they just keep coming in.
Speaker 5I know You've got over 300.
Speaker 1It means a lot. I will try my best to respond later.
Speaker 5And I'll tell people this Barry usually takes the day off on his birthday and spends it in the house. Yeah, because this is just not a day that you celebrate yourself, don't?
Speaker 1get me wrong. I mean, I'm actually lucky to be alive if I'm being honest, because when I had my heart surgery about 12, 13 years ago, it was 99% blockage and even the doctor later said you're lucky to be here, because had you done this or this or this one more time, you probably would have died. Yeah, the widowmaker was the one that was blocked.
Speaker 5The main artery was blocked. Yeah, the widowmaker. Yeah, yeah, that's bad stuff.
Speaker 1They called it and just 99.9% blocked and they did surgery like that night. It was that crucial they did it. So really every day I have is just to I'm lucky to be here and to have another birthday. It's awesome to have another birthday.
Speaker 5I don't think it's lucky. I think you're meant to be here, it's not luck, I mean God, whatever plan there is.
Speaker 1I don't know what it is, but anyway to be here is just a blessing, to have another day, and it means a lot for people to get on there and say something. And another year, another year, yeah, another year that I should not have even been here, yeah, so that does mean a lot, and it means a lot to look at these foods. She is my cherry pie.
Speaker 4Sweet cherry pie.
Speaker 1You know, it makes me wish we had a crumble.
Speaker 5Me too.
Speaker 1Crumble bakeries. Is that the official word?
Speaker 5They're crumble cookies. I don't know if it's.
Speaker 1Anyway, I've never been to a crumble. We had to go to Huntsville a few months ago and stop by one. I'd never seen one, but I'd seen their products online. But it had one of their key lime cookies. It is easily the best cookie I've ever had in my life. If you're familiar with Crumble, they're now working on some banana pudding. I can only imagine how good this is going to be. I think there's a Crumble in Jones Valley. There's Birmingham, Huntsville, yeah. So if you can find one, definitely I would try to go by and find some banana pudding. It's vanilla pudding packed with bananas and vanilla wafers and with more vanilla wafers crumbled on top. Looking at the picture, this looks very good.
Speaker 5Yeah, it does. It looks so good.
Speaker 1But how about this Funyun soup? What do you think?
Speaker 5Okay, so Funyuns teaming up with the Maruchan to create hot and spicy chicken ramen flavor Ramen noodle. Funyuns is what these are.
Speaker 1It's a Funyun-flavored soup.
Speaker 5No, no, it's not soup, it's chips.
Speaker 1But it tastes like it's soup-flavored Funyuns. That's confusing.
Speaker 5Yeah, it's soup-flavored Funyuns Gotcha yeah. I don't know I don't know, I don't know. They say that they're going to be hitting shelves late July into early August, so you can keep an eye out. Looks like they're going to have the small bags and the big bags. Now. You like the?
Speaker 1ramen noodles. I love ramen noodles, I really do, so you think that combination will be good.
Speaker 5I think we're going to have it for a taste test.
Speaker 1Okay, but Arby's is bringing back something.
Speaker 5People are so excited about this. Arby's is bringing back potato cakes. It's everybody's favorite thing and everybody's rejoicing across the US.
Speaker 1Why did they get rid of them, I don't know, three years ago.
Speaker 5It's been taken off the menu in 2021. They're triangle-shaped, shredded fried potato. They're so good and, in celebration, Arby's is releasing potato cake merch.
Speaker 4Oh no.
Speaker 5Which you can get a necklace, a candle, an enamel pin, a T-shirt and a hoodie.
Speaker 1So potato cake hoodie.
Speaker 5I mean, people are really excited that they're coming back.
Speaker 1A candle that smells like potato cake. Yeah, okay, that's what you're getting for Christmas.
Speaker 5Oh, thank you.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's coming, it's 726.
Speaker 4Mary, okay, that's what you're getting for Christmas. Oh, thank you. Yeah, it's coming. It's 726. Barry and Holly on.
Speaker 1Alabama's Country Giant WQSB. So looks like at the moment the 4th of July, stuff should be good. Today, 3rd of July, it's been a good day so far. Yeah, thank you to all the comments people commenting on the Facebook page on today being my birthday and you've already had Billy Boyd called in singing Happy Birthday.
Speaker 5That was cool.
Speaker 1Jamie Sinners came by with donuts Did, and Scott Chambers lined up Dolly Parton to sing Happy Birthday, wow To.
Speaker 5Barry, yes, and we got Duncan delivered from Skelton Pediatrics. Thank you.
Speaker 3I had to cancel my order, so you'd ordered something too.
Speaker 1Yeah, I didn't know that, okay.
Speaker 5We were going to get you some donuts this morning. One way or another.
Speaker 1Yeah, even though it's my birthday, I think across the halls they had more of the donuts than I have.
Speaker 5They have. But I also have another surprise coming for you. Yeah, it'll be here about 830.
Speaker 1Oh Okay, any clue, any nothing, nothing at all it's just special.
Speaker 5Oh, I mean really. It's like I can't do anything for you. What you like. I get emotional because you don't celebrate yourself and you should because so many people love you and I don't think you know or realize how much you're loved. And so it's really special for me today to see all these people tell you happy birthday, because you told me yesterday don't make a Facebook post, don't make a big deal out of it, it's just another day. But I don't think you realize how many people depend on you for weather, for sports, for news, entertainment, it's everything and they love you. You have a listening audience out there that truly loves you and supports you, and they're really showing it on Facebook today.
Speaker 1They are. That means more than presents people could buy. I've never been really a present kind of person, but see in the comments that means a lot.
Speaker 5Yeah, and we got a little something special at 830.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 5It's not much. It's not much it's not much.
Speaker 1Well, I appreciate that. I think you need to give them some knowledge nuggets this morning, because I'm sure there's something I can learn today. So things you need to know, whether you know it or not. What have you got today?
Speaker 5all right guys. 25 percent of you, 25 percent of men, get tired after 26 minutes of shopping how about just getting out of the car?
Speaker 1yeah, that's why I'm tired. I'm going to be honest.
Speaker 5I don't like shopping either. Really, I think I'm in the minority because I think most I don't want to make it a gender thing but women, they like to shop. I don't really like to shop, I just don't like to spend money.
Speaker 1There are some people who really it's like an Olympic sport to them. They love it.
Speaker 5They love it. Oh, I know, trust me.
Speaker 1But 26 minutes and men are done, they're out. Yeah, they're out, I believe it.
Speaker 526 minutes is a long time.
Speaker 1It is.
Speaker 5A recent survey found the number one most attractive skill a man can have, according to women, is the ability to cook. Okay, I think that's true, yeah, I think that's true. Cook me a good steak on the grill.
Speaker 1I like to cook. Grilling is one of the things most men are good at, or they try.
Speaker 5They may not be good, but they try Not that I've met Burn it, how about?
Speaker 3no grill.
Speaker 1Do you have a grill? Yeah, I do. Do you cook steak? I did this weekend.
Speaker 5Will you cook a grill? Yeah, I do, do you?
Speaker 1cook steak. I did this weekend. Will you cook me one? Absolutely yes, we will. Okay, we will, all right, yeah.
Speaker 5Although 92% of American adults say that they always wash their hands after using a public restroom, the reality is just that 77% actually do so. So seven out of 10 wash their hands. I'm going to say it's less than that. I think it is too. I think it's probably half.
Speaker 1I think some of them are lying, because some just use the bathroom and out the door they go on their way.
Speaker 5No, you've got to wash your hands, man.
Speaker 1Yeah, and some walk over there and just run some water over it. No, I've seen them do it Just use some soap and water, they just leave the soap sitting there. No, I've seen them?
Speaker 5do it? Just use some soap and water. They just leave the soap sitting there. Speaking of birthdays, the amount of time to wash your hands is the amount of time it takes to sing happy birthday. Ooh yeah, the whole Happy birthday to you.
Speaker 1How many different? The whole thing, yeah, the whole thing, or just the first line.
Speaker 5No, the whole thing. Ooh Barry, how long do you wash your hands? I don't do the whole birthday song you've got to do the whole birthday song why, because that's how the amount of time it takes to kill your germs do you even go into the.
Speaker 1You're growing old, you got gray hair and the whole end of it, or if you want to be squeaky, yeah that's no, you're growing old. No, I don't go that far. Well, I go through the happy birthday. I go through two, two lines of it at birthday two done At birthday two. I'm done. That's a long time. I believe in being clean, but that's a long time.
Speaker 5I think I could be wrong and y'all nurses don't yell at me because I'm not a nurse, but I think it's like 20 seconds, wow, yeah, okay. I think I could be so wrong, it could be two minutes or five minutes or two hours.
Speaker 1I wrong. It could be two minutes or five minutes or two hours, I don't know could be, I don't know, okay, just wash your hands, just think about it. Seven out of ten men uh do, and those three don't. So there's three men out there running around with with pee pee hands, yeah hold on.
Speaker 5Hey, siri, yeah, how long are you supposed to wash your hands for?
Speaker 4how much important to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water.
Speaker 5I guessed it. Yeah, I knew it. How would she know?
Speaker 1She doesn't even have a hand, she has a computer.
Speaker 5Oh, she can suggest that we wash our hands, but who's going to do it? Who knows?
Speaker 1I'll have to ask Alexa and see what she says, see who's cleaning her.
Speaker 2Alexa or Siri. Who's got to?
Speaker 1clean her hands, yeah, 757. So who's?
Speaker 4cleaning her legs there, Siri, who's got the cleaner hands? Yeah, 757. Mornings with Barry and Hall here on Alabama's country giant.

Speaker 5That's me up there. That's me. Look at's me. Look at her. She's probably in her 80s, I would guess.
Speaker 1Look at her, she loves it that's just like her quote of the day that you read earlier, which we're ready to get in a few minutes. Look at her, go look at her go.
Speaker 5She's got a sequin top on and she is jamming, swinging her arms.
Speaker 1Oh, I love it, which is like the quote of the day you picked out today. It says in the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years. Just like her, she's having a great time.
Strange Birthday Surprises and Florida Stories
Speaker 5She sure is.
Speaker 1Hey, I've got to thank my good buddy, gary Chumley, who stopped by to say happy birthday. That was sweet. That was so sweet. He's a great guy. I've known Gary since well we were. We were in school together all the way back. He was held back three or four times but we eventually got to be in the same class together.
Speaker 5Because you were held back. Later, I was held back more than he was.
Speaker 1No, but he was one of the ones. If you ever wanted to cheat off somebody's paper, you'd cheat off Gary's.
Speaker 5Oh really, he was so smart, is that guy?
Speaker 1He embarrassed me. He was so smart is. I'm not saying he was he lost it, but no, he had it in school. No, but thank you, gary, for stopping by. I appreciate that. It's been a good day. So you said there's more coming.
Speaker 5Yeah, there's a little bit more coming.

Speaker 5No no hints.
Speaker 1Yeah Well, you asked me what else I'd like to do, and I on my birthday or ever there's a new museum that opened up in Arizona. It's called the Poop Museum. No, it's the Poose-ium. No True, it's in Williams, arizona, and they feature waste from over 7,000 animals. Why, why, why do we need a museum that's got nothing but poop?
Speaker 5Why do you want to look at it?
Speaker 1They say it doesn't smell. They say no need to worry about smell or germs. It's all specimens or rock hard. They even claim they have a tyrannosaurus rex sample poop in the museum. How do they know exactly? How do you know it came from a t-rex who was back there, who was back in the day? The t-rex goes by and drops a load and somebody says, ugg, grab that.
Speaker 5We're going to need that one day for our Poo-Z.
Speaker 1Yeah, ugg put that in a Walmart bag real quick. I'm sure they had Walmarts back then.
Speaker 5Are you speaking caveman? Yeah, that's all I need.
Speaker 1What other name would you have?
Speaker 5I don't know what caveman.
Speaker 1What other name? Oh my gosh, stick rock bug. You know they had to be buried plain back in the day. Yeah, sure thing, stick. Anyway, pick up that poop. We might want to put it in a museum one day.
Speaker 5I don't know. I don't believe that it would be a T-Rex poop no.
Speaker 1I'm sure they can do DNA scientific, all this stuff.
Speaker 5Yeah, but where did you find it? Where, but where did you find it?
Speaker 1Where do you find it? To compare it to? Is it fossilized? It says they've got it. It says it's the first fossilized poop.
Speaker 5Oh, it is fossilized Okay.
Speaker 1And this guy said he's been collecting this since he was 18. That's when, if you're mom and dad, you worry about your child when he has a collection, not of baseball cards, not of stamps or coins, but he's got a poop collection.
Speaker 5Yes, coins, but he's got a poop collection.

Yeah, the man was arrested in Lake County last week. A thousand of dollars in damage to the drone, dennis 72,. He's facing charges of shooting or throwing a deadly missile into dwellings. I've never heard it referred to like that.
Speaker 5I've never heard of it either.
Speaker 1He's been charged $1,000. Also discharging a firearm in a public or residential property area. The drone was about 75 feet in the air. When residents heard what they thought was a gunshot, the drone made its way back to the Walmart, I guess limping in the air. When residents heard what they thought was a gunshot, the drone made its way back to the Walmart, I guess limping in the air, where store employees found a bullet hole in the drone's payload system.
Speaker 5Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 1It was making a delivery. The guy said he didn't know what it was so he shot at it, Went outside and shot the drone.
Speaker 5He was 72 years old.
Speaker 1Yeah, he must be a pretty good shot. You know what If?
Speaker 5aliens ever come invade the planet. I'm moving down to Florida with Scott Chambers.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 5Because that's where all the weirdos are, and I feel like I would be protected. Scott, I don't know what y'all do down in Florida, but it's weird.
Speaker 1There's a 72-year-old guy outside shooting a drone flying over his house. And he got it, didn't put, didn't take it down so mad.
Speaker 5If you were the one that was like I really hope that my modium is gonna be here soon.
Speaker 1I'm waiting where's my modium? My stomach is killing me I'm waiting on the toilet walmart says it's been delivered. Says delivery dropped off by door delivery was shot down shot down by a neighbor. That'll be a different kind of but so I guess when he got back to Walmart they looked and said what happened here.
Speaker 5Yeah, how did they? I wonder how they got the guy.
Speaker 1I guess they went back over the path the drone took and began doing some checking, called police and said the police began checking, saying neighbors, yeah, we heard a gunshot about an hour ago over there. That guy, he's out in the yard shooting at something and he was shooting at the drone. They tattled on him, told on him, but he hit it but didn't take it down.
Speaker 5Well, it's impressive that he hit it. It's impressive that he didn't take it down.

If you're 70 or older, you can be part of this special club, and thank you to BGs in Albertville for making this possible. Every Friday morning we salute five seniors from around the area and what Holly does is she takes her picture, because you send us your picture or a picture of the person having a birthday. It doesn't have to be this week. You don't think the birthday has to be this week? Right, it can be any time during the year.
Speaker 5They just have to be alive and have a birthday. Yes, those are the only two requirements, and be, 70 or older.
Speaker 1Yeah, and be sure, and put the name of the person having the birthday club and send it to us. Then, friday we'll have five, then you'll take the picture and you'll place this digitally on a bottle of BG's original chicken dipping sauce. Oh yeah, and it looks awesome. So if you want to be part of this club, you have to send us the pictures, because we'll be doing this every Friday morning at 7.50. Yeah, that's right, giving them a salute. So be sure and do that. And a big salute again to our business of the day. And if you want to be our business of the day, it's simple. What do you have to do?
Speaker 5just listen to qsb yep, that's it, and just comment, and let us know that you are listening to qsb at your place of work and we will put you in the drawing like today at skeleton pediatrics, our business of the day.
Speaker 1Thank you for listening. We really appreciate that because I'm with you. Uh, my kids use dr skelton yep when they read, and reagan when they were growing up and then, and they still listen to qsb today yeah, dr skelton saw me until I was like 20 years old. Yeah, wow he really did like the original the og dr skelton he's same one, yeah he's the one that saw I have.
Speaker 5I think I was about 20 when he kicked me out and he's like ho Holly.
Speaker 1Kicked you out. Yeah, get a job, he's like you've aged out girl. Yeah.
Speaker 5And that was the first time I ever aged out on anything, and I haven't recovered from it since.
Speaker 1No, no, now I'm just old, you're young, now the business of the day. How do they become the business of the day?

Speaker 4Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's country giant WQSB 100.
Speaker 1You turned on the French fry lights, the 100 to 108, I thought something changed.
Speaker 5You call those French fry lights.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's like what they use at the fast food place where they put the fries, keep them warm.
Speaker 5Those are spotlights, not French fry lights.
Speaker 1It makes me like a French fry. If you sit under them long enough here, because they're pretty warm, that's what they put in the fast food place.
Speaker 5Those are just like heating lamps. Those are just like heating lamps.
Speaker 1Those are spotlights, Barry. Yeah, I've already got another tan on top of that one.
Speaker 5So we're in the studio, we have a little button that you can push and it dims. And it's got one, two, three studio lights, Barry calls them what French fry lights. French fry lights. Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 1For some reason, all the announcers when they come, they like to turn off the main light. Yeah, they turn on these and they can get An ambiance.
Speaker 5Almost like dark in here, yeah. And then they talk like Slow, low wave. Hey, it's your midday, mike.
Speaker 1Allen Spinning the tunes, yeah, naked yeah.
Speaker 5And then they. Mike Allen puts a fireplace up on the TV.
Speaker 1Then he puts on a smoking jacket.
Speaker 5What's a smoking jacket?
Speaker 1That's what you just only wear when you smoke.
Speaker 5I didn't.
Speaker 1It's like Hugh Hefner. If you ever see those sick pictures of him and when the playboy around the mansion, he'd always wear like a. It's like a house coat, but it's like, yeah, like silk.
Speaker 5Yeah, that's a smoking jacket. Oh yeah, I would. It'd be like a Carhartt jacket.
Speaker 1No, no, they went back there just with a smoking jacket on.
Speaker 5Mike did.
Speaker 1Just with a pipe, oh.
Speaker 5Okay, I've never heard of a smoking jacket. I think that's really cool. Yeah, yeah, go ahead. All right, so we have waited until the end of the show and we're bringing in Dale Dale's here.

Speaker 5Bill ran out the door. Bill left. Say hello to your fans.
Speaker 1So Bill wasn't in a celebratory mood, was he? He said nobody sang happy birthday to him.
Speaker 5He said nobody sang happy birthday to him. He said nobody sang happy birthday to him. We got to get a calendar or something. Yeah, we do. I don't want to get in trouble like this again. You hurt Mike's feelings already I know.
Speaker 3Totally missed my birthday. I know.
Speaker 1I was trying to tell Holly, you're sitting back there in the back in your smoking jacket. She wasn't sure what that was I in your smoking jacket. And she wasn't sure what that was. I said, well, picture, like hugh hefner in a slick, because he's back there. Yeah, I've never heard of a smoking jack, have you? Uh, no, no, she turned these lights on by mistake and I said it's. I said, well, love bonans would like to turn it down and get you know in the mood. And I said michael, put on his little hugh hefner smoking jacket, get a pipe, and he'll yeah, that's what he does.

Speaker 1Hey, baby, plastic tip cigars yeah plastic tip cigars well, I appreciate that. Thank you so much you're welcome.
Speaker 5Yeah, where's my money?
Speaker 1I don't have any, oh fine all right okay, well, before we go, then the quote of the day this one deals. This one is perfect for somebody having a birthday. Let me give you some quote music there we go. So I like this one. This one came from Abraham Lincoln, yeah, so this goes way back.
Embrace Life's Joyful Moments
Speaker 5Yeah, it does, way back To 1800s actually. Wow, it says in the end it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years, and I love that.
Speaker 1Think about it for a second life in your years, and I love that. Think about it for a second. Some people think, um, it's the thing. Well, you, if I can live to be 100, okay, that's fine. But make sure those years you're doing something you enjoy, do things you make it fun. Yeah, don't just live to be a certain age and just sit around and be unhappy, but be fun, because sometimes, like a birthday, your age doesn't define you, it's do you still feel like you're feeling good, you're having fun and enjoy yourself?
Speaker 1Yeah absolutely Don't worry about the numbers much, just enjoy what you're doing. It's like here.
Speaker 5Because it's not the years that count, it's the life in your years.
Speaker 1Yeah, so enjoy yourself. Sometimes you're dealt a bad hand, maybe some health issues, and you can't help it. I understand that. But if you can help it, get up and move around, do something, have fun, hang out with people that you enjoy to be around with, absolutely so, and do that, all right. It's 8.53.
