We break it down with some humor. Plus, we spotlight our Teacher of the Week and cheer on high school football athletes and healthcare heroes with heartfelt stories and updates.
Have you ever thought about how monkeys communicate? Are they gossiping or exchanging names? We delve into the fascinating world of marmoset communication and share a laugh about some cheeky monkey mischief. We can’t forget our exciting giveaway bundle and new food updates, from Taco Bell's chicken nuggets to Krispy Kreme's Barbie Dream Donuts. We wrap up with some lighthearted discussions on ATM blunders, re-gifting tips, and a funny dog-bear encounter, making this episode a delightful blend of humor, warmth, and community spirit.ChristiTutionalist Politics

Speaker 2:I have a scar from that. I don't know those are weapons well, to be fair, I'm curling my hair at 4 o'clock in the morning. You know who's awake for that? No one, nobody, no. So I'm just careless with it, and it just takes a second, it's sin.
Speaker 1:That is amazing. Those are weapons, yes, I mean, if they weren't so dangerously plugged up all the time, that would be a weapon. Somebody breaks in. I know I've got a curling iron. I'm not afraid to use it. You better back off, you better get out of that window and just crawl in.
Speaker 2:That would make me back off, yeah.
Speaker 1:Crawl out of that window. You just crawled in.
Speaker 2:Better go the other way. Hey look how pretty the sunrise is right now.
Speaker 1:Beautiful morning.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's beautiful.
Speaker 1:How about the weather this week?
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Are you ready?
Speaker 2:Well, I'm going to say yes, because I took Harlow down to the park yesterday. Okay, it was so sweaty we lasted five minutes.
Speaker 1:It was hot.
Speaker 2:Yep and we said we're done.
Speaker 1:That's the hottest day of the week you will see. Today drops to 86, but there's going to be a 20-mile-an-air wind. Wow, that will cool you down some. Yeah, tonight 66, but a 25-mile-an-air wind tonight, oh so no storms coming, just wind, just a cold front. Then tomorrow it drops to 83. Now they were giving us a good chance of rain. Thursday that has dropped to a slight chance. Windy and highs of 80 on Thursday.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Some spots will never get past the upper 70s. I like that. Then you get into Friday for the weekend Friday's high is 75. That's perfect, courtney and Joe Nichols sunny and 75 is perfect. Slight chance of rain. Friday Heading out to high school football. Friday night Overnight low, low 60s. And then Saturday and Sunday Saturday 80, sunday 80. Overnight lows low 50s. Saturday night and Sunday night that's kind of chilly. Low 50s, yeah, whoa 50s. Saturday night and Sunday night that's kind of chilly Low 50s, yeah, whoa, yeah. So the weather is changing in a better direction.
Speaker 2:Good, it's almost sweatshirt season.
Speaker 1:Yes, and according to these so-called TV weather experts, they think the days of a 100-degree heat index is probably gone for the rest of the year. Thank goodness, probably, they're saying.
Speaker 2:I'm done with it. Now, in about three or four months, we're going to say, god, I can't wait until it's 100 degrees outside, where's?
Speaker 1:the warm weather?
Speaker 2:I don't know it's freezing yeah.
Speaker 1:Now I will take a hot summer day over a cold weather. I'm opposite. Really Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:Okay, because I can bundle up. I can put on gloves, jackets, it's you know different things, right, but when it comes to the heat, you're stuck man. Yeah, you're just stuck with what you got. Yeah, here's what I don't understand. These guys that work outside and you may be listening to us, it could be the road crew or the different Construction how do y'all survive in long sleeves?
Speaker 1:I don't know how do y'all do it.
Speaker 2:That's tough. How do y'all survive in?
Speaker 1:long sleeves. I don't know how do y'all do it, that's tough.
Speaker 2:I don't know how they do it and I have nothing but respect for them, because that is a miserable heat that we've had. This summer.
Speaker 1:The way I see it is if you can put on layers to stay warm, but you can't take off enough layers without getting arrested.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You take off too many layers outside, you're going to get arrested, but you can put on layers in the wintertime and not get arrested. Yeah, but it's so tough. Anyway, it's going to be a nice day today, not bad at all, yeah. Hey, I want to thank everybody at Sylvania. I had a chance to hang out at the Sylvania Labor Day Festival, sylvania Town Park Great time. So many people came by and said hi to us and we appreciate that. Love going to Sylvania.

Speaker 2:I did I got to spend all day with Harlow Don, all day with Harlow. Don't blame me at all. Amazing.

Yeah, their favorite is cheese. Yeah, it's cheese. And recently Mayor's been liking pepperoni. I don't know, okay, I don't know, Okay, and here's something you need to know yeah, mattel has created a Barbie flip phone.

Speaker 2:Yeah, but listen, it costs $130.
Speaker 1:And it is bright pink. I know it's so cute. It looks like a toy, but it's not. It's a real phone.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean well, not a real phone. You can't make phone calls with it. Oh you can't even use it. I don't think you can even use it.

Speaker 1:Yeah, they have, especially the flip phones.
Speaker 2:Yeah especially flip phones.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:There is a few phones had I'd give anything to have back. What was the one that was on the side, the Voyager? It had a full keyboard and you could flip it over.
Speaker 1:I had one of those.
Speaker 2:I loved the Voyager.
Speaker 1:Made it easier to type.
Speaker 2:It did. Here's something to think about. You know those one-inch candy bars. Like the Halloween ones basically they're called fun size.
Speaker 1:Yes, they call them fun size.
Speaker 2:Whoever called them fun size should really evaluate their standard for entertainment. I mean honestly.
Speaker 1:I agree.
Speaker 2:One inch for fun size.
Speaker 1:That's like not even an appetizer. That's a T size. It's getting you started. Yes, it's like your taste buds in your brain saying where's the rest?
Speaker 2:I know it's like the little butterfingers and tiny.
Speaker 1:Snickers yeah, that's not fun. Saz, no, that's not fun.
Speaker 2:That's anti-party Saz.
Speaker 1:Yeah, makes you want to throw that one at someone.
Speaker 2:It's weapon Saz.
Speaker 1:I mean it makes you angry because you take one bite and say I need more.

Speaker 1:After that spanking like that, his stomach says thank you.
Speaker 2:Well, he only ate 67 hot dogs 16 behind. Yes, is that not crazy?
Speaker 1:83 is unreal because he blew his old record away.

Speaker 1:Why would you want to? Yeah?
Speaker 2:And wouldn't that be an expensive practice? Yeah, it would, but you have to practice.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he probably has sponsors.

Speaker 2:Crazy, crazy, crazy QSV, crazy Crazy.
Speaker 1:Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, but true, crazy but true. We've had so many goofy I would say stupid studies in the past year. Yeah, the one where whales? They say that when they make those noises in the ocean, they're actually talking to each other, that's what they say Now there's a study coming out that's saying that there are certain types of monkeys that can also talk to each other and they have. I believe they may talk in some way, but they say they feel they have names for each other.
Speaker 2:Oh, is it the marmosets yeah?
Speaker 1:It's a chatty, highly social monkey that lives in South America in a rainforest, they believe after a study. They studied these for like years. They use specific calls to address specific individuals. They say that they have certain behaviors that they perform, but mainly these noises they make. They feel like they're talking to each other and they, these scientists, feel the only time they've seen this before is in humans. Of course, bottlenose, dolphinsose dolphins and African elephants also make noises as if they're talking to each other.
Speaker 2:Don't know about names.
Speaker 1:They feel like some of the sounds they're making. They put one of them in one room with a barrier between them that they can still communicate, and the other one, and they were listening to certain chats and some of the noises sounded like they might be calling the other one by name.
Speaker 2:How do they know they?
Speaker 1:don't know they don't know If you could actually hear them say hey John or hey Holly. That's different. But they're just hearing noises.
Speaker 2:Hey, mr Banana Pants, hey, mrs Princess Consuela, banana Hammock, would you?
Speaker 1:please pass me the banana Wow From friends. Okay, so what are some of the names? You think if they do have names, they would name other.
Speaker 2:Princess Consuela Banana Hammock.
Speaker 1:Why that one?
Speaker 2:Because it's a banana hammock.
Speaker 1:So that's a different something. You wear.
Speaker 2:Well, it's just got the word banana in it. Maybe it's the wrong one, but what about? What about?
Speaker 1:tater, tater chip.
Speaker 2:Tater chip, okay, butter bean.
Speaker 1:Butter bean would be good. And how about Mr Banana?
Speaker 2:No, that's weird. How about?
Speaker 1:if they really want to be fun like Snoop Monkey instead of.
Speaker 2:Snoop Dogg yeah.
Speaker 1:Snoop Monkey? What about Swingy? I think they would kind of tie it into the foods they eat and the things they do, yeah. Yeah, a flea picker.
Speaker 2:You know, what's funny is that they probably are like that's Marcus and that's John.
Speaker 4:Oh they have these special names.
Speaker 2:They would have normal names probably. They're probably in their monkey language, like hey, John, will you get me one of those bananas? But, we're giving them names like Princess Consuela.
Speaker 1:Banana Hammock, or there's Prince Charles over there.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Fancy names.
Speaker 2:Oh, do you think they have like a royalty?
Speaker 1:I would think it's probably a queen.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Probably a court.
Speaker 2:I wonder who was on this queen's court.
Speaker 1:Why don't they study this part and see if there is a queen and a king? I don't know. I think in the gorilla world they kind of just fight and beat each other up and see who's king. Yeah, they're mean, but not in the monkey world. They just start pooping at each other and squeeze a banana out of a pill.
Speaker 2:I will tell you this my mother and I'm not going to tell you how old she is she's 71. Okay, 71. Okay. She had a monkey when she was little.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Yeah. What kind, just like a little. I don't know. I didn't ask, I was just more shocked that she had a monkey. Yeah, but anyway, she said we can never have a monkey because of the poop throwing.
Speaker 1:Oh, oh.
Speaker 2:Yes, never have a monkey because of the poop throwing. Oh oh, yes, so it happened to her.
Speaker 1:It happened to her. She said that it's very true, so they hit her with it.
Speaker 2:Yes, wow nailed mama right in the forehead, monkey poop to the head I think they got her in the ear imagine being betrayed by your pet like that yeah I take care of you, I feed you, I you water, I give you a warm place to live.
Speaker 1:I give you underwear.
Speaker 2:I give you underwear and then you throw your poop at me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't throw mine at you.
Speaker 2:No, I don't throw my poop at anybody I think you should. Maybe, like you started it, there's a few that deserve it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they do, and they're about to be here any minute. Yeah, 6.46. Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's country giant WQSB Time for Holly's pile of stories and we were hitting on Deadpool and Wolverine. We thought about this months ago that it's probably going to be the biggest movie of the year.
Speaker 2:And so far it's proving it to be true. Yeah, it's remained to be the top grossing film over the Labor Day weekend box office, adding another $19.5 million to cross $600 million domestically. It's the 16th film to reach that milestone.
Speaker 1:What if say Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman get 1% of whatever it makes. I don't know math. I mean, wouldn't that be an amazing check?
Speaker 2:That's a bunch of money, because in today's world.
Speaker 1:Many times that's a bunch of money because in today's world many times that's what they do they take a check to film it. Then they say, okay, then we want a percentage of how much money it makes. So if it makes 600 million, like one percent, you're looking at probably. What is that? 60 million maybe? I don't know it's enough to retire on.
Speaker 2:So here's my question If it's the 16th film to reach that milestone, what is the first?
Speaker 1:I believe it's Avatar. It was the biggest Really Of all time.
Speaker 2:Of all time, the first one.
Speaker 1:I'll look it up in a second.
Speaker 2:Not Titanic.
Speaker 1:I think Titanic was passed. I'll find out for you.
Speaker 2:Okay, be looking at that and find me where Titanic is. And I'm going to tell you about this one. Luke Grimes from Yellowstone Casey has partnered with the legendary brand Stetson on a new luxury cologne called Legend Stetson. Legend cologne features citrus spices and textural wood. What's?
Speaker 1:textural wood Textural wood, textural wood Ooh, makes me want to go get some cologne.
Speaker 2:It makes me feel like you would be outside in the farm. You smell like textural woods oh my gosh, I love the smell of textural woods and you wear it so well. You smell just like textural woods. You smell like a Stetson man. It's a scent which aims to appeal the next generation of the Stetson man. I don't know.
Speaker 1:Okay, as of March 2024, Avatar is the highest grossing movie of all time. Okay 2.92 billion. Then Avengers Endgame is two, avatar the Way of the Water is three, spider-man no Way Home is four, then Titanic is five. Titanic made it Top five.
Speaker 2:Way to go, Jack and Rose.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes, get off that board so I can survive.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:The original one.
Speaker 1:And the part three is coming out, I believe, sometime next year.
Speaker 2:Could she not have just scooted over a little bit?
Speaker 1:Yes, she could have.
Speaker 2:Okay, selena Gomez surprised students at a high school volleyball game in Colorado over the weekend after seeing a sign to sing the national anthem. They asked her to sing it. She didn't, but she did show up to the gym and, though she didn't fulfill the request to sing the anthem, she posed for pictures and signed autographs in the gym. That's so awesome.
Speaker 1:She was in town for the Telluride Film Festival, saw a sign and said I've got time, I want to go do that.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I like Selena Gomez. I like Selena Gomez she went back to the school during the volleyball game walked in they pretty much stopped everything for pictures and videos.
Speaker 2:And I know everybody cares yeah, Especially our male audience. But that's Taylor Swift's best friend.
Speaker 1:I didn't know that.
Speaker 2:It is.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Just so you know.
Speaker 1:So by shaking her hand, you're actually shaking Taylor's hand.
Speaker 2:Pretty much.

Speaker 2:Those are going to be bad.
Speaker 1:Quote of the day what you got today.
Speaker 2:Money is not the only commodity that is fun to give. We can give time, we can give our expertise, we can give our love or simply give a smile.
Speaker 1:All of those are important.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like time. Time is so important. Sometimes just slow down, spend time with somebody maybe you haven't seen in a while, because maybe they don't get to see many people. It's worth it to go by and just pay them a visit and, like you said, you give them your love, you give them a smile.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you never know when your moment with somebody is going to be your last. So, it's important, I think, to spend more. It's not about spending money, like at Christmas time. Think about Christmas. It's not about spending money. No, it's about spending time. It is, and that's something that money will never buy.
Speaker 1:Good point, good one, yeah, it's 714.
Speaker 3:Wqsb Mornings with Barry and Holly In my belly.

So the new nuggets you can see a picture of these. They'll be coming out sometime here before the end of the year.
Speaker 2:I don't see why they would be bad. No, I think they'd be good.
Speaker 1:They look good, look real good. And the big thing is they have new Taco Bell sauce, special dipping sauce. It doesn't say what's in it. They're calling it the special Bell sauce that you can get when the nuggets go on sale. That's cool, so that should be available, hopefully sometime before the year is up.

Speaker 3:Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's Country, giant WQSB. Come on, man.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Holly cannot believe this one, this one, she handpicked it. I said, let me look at this. Come on man. Yeah, Holly cannot believe this one, this one, she handpicked it. I said, let me look at this. This is, for all we know is true In Uganda. Residents of a town in Uganda. They put a witch doctor under house arrest for failing to resurrect a dead person.
Speaker 2:Wow.
Speaker 1:They claimed, the witch doctor stopped them, these residents, from burying. The deceased Witch doctor said hold on, I can bring this person back to life. The body had been, the guy had been dead for three days and the witch doctor promised the mourners that she would perform a miracle to resurrect the beloved one after receiving a payment. There you go. And they paid her. She did whatever she tried to do. Nothing happened. Oh, I can tell you, unless this person's name is Jesus.
Speaker 2:It ain't happening.
Speaker 1:It ain't happening.
Speaker 2:No, you can't use an abracadabra and a little bit of elbow grease and raise somebody from the dead three days later.
Speaker 1:So the residents were mad, because not only did they have to pay the witch doctor, they also were believing what she was telling them. They were waiting on the person to rise up. Didn't happen, so they called the local authorities.
Speaker 2:So are they just doing this over a dead body? Yeah, ew.
Speaker 1:Don't know what she was doing, exactly what kind of thing, but anyway the person in charge, the parish counselor, confirmed this and said the witch doctor is now under house arrest Doesn't say for how long and they've also fined the witch doctor one cow, two goats and a cash amount larger than the payment received.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Speaker 1:Wait, wait.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're charging her to pay back with one cow, two goats and cash, okay, but what if she doesn't have the cow and goat? Do you go and buy one?
Speaker 1:I guess you get a lawyer. The lawyer has to go in there to the judge and say, okay, listen, your Honor, my client here whoever abracadabra over here does not have the one cow and two goats. She has the cash, but the one goat or the one cow and two goats, she has the cash, but she doesn't have the one cow and two goats. I think that's a bit strong. The fine is a bit strong. I think we need to lower this.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, you definitely need a lawyer.
Speaker 1:Then your honor would say okay, what do you suggest? If you're the lawyer, what would you suggest? Knowing your client doesn't have one cow and two goats.
Speaker 2:Knowing your client doesn't have one cow and two goats, yeah. What would you go with, barry? I don't know, like I don't know, what is equal to one cow and two goats in currency.
Speaker 1:Well, what would she have? I'd say well, she doesn't have a cow and two goats. But your Honor, here's what we can do.
Speaker 2:But you can't give up her dog or her cat.
Speaker 1:Okay, she has three chickens.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, okay, oh, okay okay.
Speaker 1:One of them's a rooster.
Speaker 2:What if she's attached to these chickens?
Speaker 1:Well, she's about to be attached to her house for a month if she don't come out with some kind of fun when she could spend time with her chickens. Sorry, but you shouldn't have made that promise. So you can either come up with a cow and two goats, or we can give you three chickens and a gerbil and a three-legged squirrel, but that's all we've got.
Speaker 2:Is that good we got a monkey that speaks. I would say yes, just to see the three-legged squirrel oh, I don't want to say I've seen one before once. I have two. Yeah, oh, you have two. Yeah, you do. You mean you have two of?
Speaker 1:them or you have one. I have also seen oh okay, it was outside my window Sitting in the tree.
Speaker 2:Huh, how about that?
Speaker 1:That's all I could count was three legs. And I was sitting there holding nuts and I said, hmm, I only count three legs. Hmm, odd, but anyway. No, but this is so bizarre. Come on man. The woman who said she could raise the dead. No, she cannot, she cannot.
Speaker 2:Imagine being with your loved one. Yes, it's been three days.
Speaker 1:Yes, they're not alive and it's in Uganda and it's probably. You think it was hot here. It probably was very hot there, oh my gosh, yeah.
Speaker 2:So a dead body out in the heat for three days and this woman comes along and says, hey, I got you girl.
Speaker 1:I don't think even the old they don't have to be dead. The old Maytag refrigerator can cool that down enough, no, do you? No, that's going to be stinking.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, oh gosh.
Speaker 1:The flies Come on, man, it's 741.
Speaker 3:Mary and Holly on Alabama's Country, giant WQSB. Good morning Will.
Speaker 1:Welcome to the show. Good morning. Rachel came in for a minute and I don't know what happened. Stomach issues.
Speaker 2:I don't know. She's got payroll. Oh, that's more important. Isn't that more important? Yes, yes, let's let her work on payroll.
Speaker 1:We've got to get paid, yeah so we brought Will in Will's with us again today. How are you doing, will? I'm doing well. How are y'all doing? Good, you seem too excited because there's a meeting at 9.
Speaker 4:Well, I won't be here, so that's why I'm excited.
Speaker 1:Oh he's excited he won't be here. You can skip it. Oh man Will, are you ready? Yes, there we go. So what have you got today?
Speaker 2:All right, how many? I'm going to ask you, how many pieces of pizza do you think you eat each year? This is, by the average person, how many pieces of pizza.
Speaker 1:A year.
Speaker 2:A year. I've got an answer.
Speaker 1:On an average pizza, I might eat two for sure, okay, maybe three. So one pizza about every other week is 26. I'd bet 50. Okay.
Speaker 4:For me I'd say 500. 500? I'm a big pizza guy, wow, but why about you?
Speaker 2:46 is average. That's average. I would say I probably eat 20. 20? Yeah, probably about half of that.
Speaker 1:So per pizza you eat like one slice.
Speaker 4:Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah because if you get one pizza a month, that's 12. If you eat two slices out of it, that's.
Speaker 2:Okay, that's a lot of math.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's a lot of pizza too, really.
Speaker 2:Math ain't math.
Speaker 1:they're not over here, no me and my wife didn't get along until, yeah, we fought all the time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, 47% of us admit to talking to an ATM.
Speaker 1:Yes, yep, I always say what I've occasionally said, a prayer, thinking please, let me have money, please let me have money, thank God. That is $10.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I get more frustrated than anything because I try to speed through it and I tap the wrong thing.
Speaker 4:Oh yes, I know Too many menus on there.
Speaker 2:There's so many screens there's so many screens and so, yes, I talk to it because I'll just I do I say hurry up or let's go, it should say type in your code withdraw deposit.
Speaker 4:That's it. So there are two options.
Speaker 1:Yes, and I think it's rude, my bank, when I go to the drive-thru the ATM, when I punch in all the information, when it starts laughing at me saying really, really, you think you have money.
Speaker 2:They find that.
Speaker 1:Then it tells the other ATMs and it's like all four of them, it's embarrassing. It's the ATM telephone line yeah, it is, it's embarrassing.
Speaker 2:ATM chain gang.
Speaker 1:And they start spitting money. I said here you're poor.
Speaker 4:Oh, they give you money, a dollar. Oh, okay, like the walk-up ones that are behind you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know what are they doing.
Speaker 1:I'm always afraid they're going to get me. They're standing behind you looking.
Speaker 2:I mean I don't have much, but they don't know that. No, and I'm afraid they're going to get me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because you look rich, I'm going to get you. Just looking at you.
Speaker 2:Well, that's what I put on my online dating profile, fil Openers Filthy wreaths yes, I got you. Home decor and gift cards are the most re-gifted items. Home decor That'd be like a candle Home decor.

Speaker 4:It's like a little small screwdriver, you might say it.
Speaker 2:Nobody wants that Nobody wants that have you done that, Holly. I have ricketed absolutely. Does everybody not?

Speaker 4:Especially if you go by Barry's terms and half of it's been drawn, half of it is you have the cords hanging out.
Speaker 1:Thanks.
Speaker 2:Reagan, you have the cords popped in there.
Speaker 1:Got some saran wrap over it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I recommend getting a screw top one and maybe they won't notice as much.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then add water to it to fill it back up or maybe a box one, and they can't decide they can't tell that a glass is missing we can see a little cardboard is popped up where they put a spout out.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, spouts dripping in the paper.
Speaker 1:I got it ready for you that's the worst, and a drippy spout. I've always, always said that your champagne has been popped. It's April, it is, it's 757.
Speaker 3:WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly To try a food.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's been a few weeks since we tried one, but we've had different people bring us these.
Speaker 2:We've actually had three packs of this brought to us Stacy at Circle K. Thank you so much. And then the other two were listeners.
Speaker 1:Dropped them off.
Speaker 2:They're M&M's Milk Chocolate Pumpkin Pie. M&m's Pumpkin Pie.
Speaker 1:M&M's. So not Pumpkin Spice but Pumpkin Pie. So what is the difference?
Speaker 2:basically, Barry, I don't know it's just different.
Speaker 1:Would Pumpkin Spice be spicier? I Would the ice be spicier.
Speaker 2:I guess it'd have more cinnamon, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I don't know. Are you ready? Yeah, I'm trying. Ooh, that is strong.
Speaker 2:Nope, nope, nope, nope.
Speaker 1:That is very spicy.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, when it spreads across your tongue.
Speaker 1:That's very.
Speaker 2:It tastes offensive.
Speaker 1:It tastes more chocolatey no chocolatey than all of a sudden the pumpkin hits you.
Speaker 2:It's like dark chocolate mixed with poop.
Speaker 1:I'm glad to say I've never tried that.
Speaker 2:Well, I have, and I can tell you that's pretty. Oh, you have. Yeah, this is nasty, this is gross.
Speaker 1:This is not good. No, I'm sorry, I like pumpkin pie, maybe one piece a year.
Speaker 2:Yes, and I love Stacy at Circle K and our listeners at Broadest Thieves.
Speaker 1:I hope you sell out.
Speaker 2:I hope you sell out all of them.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But zero out of ten. I doubt it, oh my God.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, not a fan of those at all.
Speaker 2:I want people to buy these and just try them, so we can experience this together.
Speaker 1:If you like pumpkin pie you'll love it. But maybe one slice a year at the most.
Speaker 2:I don't think you would I love pumpkin pie. This is not pumpkin pie. No, this is pumpkin poop.
Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 2:It's horrible.
Speaker 1:How do you really feel? Surely you can't be serious. I am serious and don't call me Shirley. Here's another one now. I've watched the video and I can have for the life of me understand why would somebody do this? It's in an airport. They did nothing wrong illegally, but uh, back a few days ago there's a man covered in luggage wrap describe this what is luggage? Wrap I'm never where they can wrap the luggage with. I guess it's like shrink wrap yeah, that's what it looks like.
Speaker 1:Well, a guy wrapped his friend and they were going to see if the airport would let him actually fly like that, dressed like that.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Was he on? Is that him getting on the luggage? Yeah, wait, they were going to try to check him in as luggage.
Speaker 1:No, you can't do people. He didn't want a seat. The guy was going to check him in as his carry-on or not carry-on, but as his luggage, and they're going to put him back in the luggage department.
Speaker 2:So like to have a free ticket? Yeah, I guess I'm so confused.
Speaker 1:They would charge you for whatever. I guess how much. It weighed as much as a plane ticket. But the? Uh, it's at miami at the counter. Uh, they're being nice about it. The man's covered in green shrink wrap hops onto the scale. He was not accepted as luggage and was later spotted having the wrapper removed from his body when they were told no, you can't do that.
Speaker 2:Is there not some kind of danger in this?
Speaker 1:Couldn't it have killed him. I mean, I would think so, surely he had air holes around his nose and his mouth.
Speaker 2:You'd have to, but why would you want to be stowed with luggage?
Speaker 1:Just to see if you could.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Well, like the video. How old?
Speaker 2:are these guys?
Speaker 1:They look old enough to know better.
Speaker 2:And have they been drinking?
Speaker 1:Probably a lot.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:And it's now gone viral, the video that is, and the video is on our facebook page.
Speaker 2:I'm looking at the guy you gotta see it, he's in green.
Speaker 1:He's having a hop and move because he can't walk and the guy's having to help him around.
Speaker 2:Then they finally take it off so, uh, I can't can he breathe, is he, he okay?
Speaker 1:He's got to have a nose.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's got to. He would die yeah.
Speaker 1:But they thought that they might get away with it and he would be shipped his luggage to wherever they were going.
Speaker 2:Well, they didn't allow it. They said, no, yeah, I'm glad he had to hop away on his own.
Speaker 1:That's funny. Check out the video. It's 817.
Speaker 1:Mornings the video. It's 8, 17 mornings with barry and hall here on alabama's country giant wqsb morning's crime story. Okay, I gave holly a heads up and she's all over this one. I could see you being at the school the minute you found out this happened and this is probably going to get ugly, and I think it should be. It should get ugly. Well, not ugly, I should. I could see parents here we go. Deltona, florida. A teacher was arrested on Saturday after deputies say she used her legs, mainly like from knees down, to put a three-year-old in a headlock during class.
Speaker 2:What.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you've seen the video. This is unacceptable. According to the arrest affidavit, vilma the teacher, vilma Otero, she's 59, she's facing child abuse charges after a educator in her classroom witnessed the incident and turned her in to the proper authorities in the school. The person was assigned to her classroom to watch and learn and witness and just kind of see, you know, uh, basically like um, training, learning, and then she witnessed this, what it was. The teacher was standing against the uh like the blank board reading, and apparently one of the children got a little out of hand, began crying, screaming, laying on the floor in front of her. So what she did was she stepped up to where the child's head was, between her legs, her ankles, and she was holding them down.
Speaker 2:He's three.
Speaker 1:Three years old.
Speaker 2:And she's doing this while she's being watched. What does she do unsupervised?
Speaker 1:Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
Speaker 2:Oh, that makes me so mad.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:That makes my blood boil. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:There's a video. The teacher apparently took a video. The other teacher took a video from the back of the room to show the proof and it shows the educator, the teacher. The child's face is turning red from screaming, trying to free himself from the chokehold.
Speaker 2:Oh, my gosh, the child is okay. Would you bail me out of jail?
Speaker 1:I would have to.
Speaker 2:I mean somebody would have to come get me. But think about the trauma. Should you be on my short list to call? Yeah, call me immediately.
Speaker 1:But imagine the three-year-old traumatized by this.
Speaker 2:At three years old. I feel like that's something you would remember, even at three.
Speaker 1:Because some three-year-olds probably don't want to be there anyway, you yeah, because some three-year-olds probably don't want to be there.
Speaker 2:anyway, you have to make them to go to school.
Speaker 1:Mine didn't, yeah, see. And then, all of a sudden, you're there on the floor wanting to cry and go home. Then the teacher there has your head between her legs, between the ankles, holding you down.
Speaker 2:And you know, three-year-olds can't communicate efficiently. No, they can talk to you some, but they can't tell you what happened and that parent may have never known if that person hadn't recorded it.
Speaker 1:No, if the other person had not been in the room it would never have been told. The kid might have told that teacher hurt me or did something. The teacher could have denied it and saying no, I gave him a little pat on the. Something could have got out of it.
Speaker 2:But not with the video. If I was the teacher recording, I would knock that lady's head off. Just knock it all the way off, say you're going to trap this kid's head. Your head's going off with her head.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, she's been arrested. Good, as she should have. Yes, that is horrible and I hope she he's charged at the fullest extent. Yeah, that is awful. Yeah, all right, morning's animal story. Love the video. Okay, say you're standing. I'm not sure about your kitchen. Do you have a kitchen where you can look outside in the yard?
Speaker 2:No, I have a my house is built kind of weird.
Speaker 1:You have like a porch, a back porch.
Speaker 2:I have a back porch?
Speaker 1:yeah, and I have two doors that are leading out, so you're standing at the doors and you're looking outside just admiring the beautiful day and your dog, doug, is out running and playing. All of a sudden, a black bear comes walking across the yard towards Doug. Oh no. What would your first thoughts be? Oh no, doug is about to be eaten by a bear.
Speaker 2:Absolutely. I think this is not going to end well.
Speaker 1:There's a video that's on our Facebook page. It shows a German Shepherd. This is in Vermont. It shows a woman cooking dinner looking out the window and she sees a playmate walk across the yard and the bear and the dog appear to be playing. The bear gets on its back feet. First you think, oh, it's about to kill the dog. But the dog is not scared, it's not barking, it's kind of running around playing with it and the two are having like a play date.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, it's so cute. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:I would have thought the same thing that my animal is about to be gone, I'm never going to see it again, Because you wouldn't want to walk out there and try to. I would maybe scare the bear off, but I wouldn't want to get between them.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:You'd be like the middle part of the Ritz Cracker.
Speaker 2:No, you'd be the peanut butter and the jelly or the peanut butter cracker. Yeah.
Speaker 1:You'd be the middle, You'd be the peanut butter and the jelly in the sandwich. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:I really don't know how Doug would react if he saw a bear. I think Doug is like very protected, but here's the thing yeah, he's very protective, when he's not on a leash he's not as brave. So he's all bark, he's all bark yeah.
Speaker 1:So if it was a bear, you think he would know that. Hmm, this is out of my range here. I can't handle it.
Speaker 2:I mean, he's a little dog, he's like 35, 30 pounds.
Speaker 1:Oh, this would be like an hors d'oeuvre for this bear. Yeah, it would be. So you think he would bark at it, play with it, or would he roll over on its back?
Speaker 2:I think he would be eaten by the bear, because he would be trying to. He would be barking and scratching. You know how dogs scratch. Have you ever seen them do that. Why do they do that?
Speaker 1:It's like they're throwing dirt like a bull getting ready to charge.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's exactly what it is. Doug does this when I take him on walks. That is weird there's this dog in the neighborhood specifically that he cannot stand and he always poops. This is where the hidden poop talent came from.
Speaker 1:Poops in the dog's yard?
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I can't tell anybody because it's one of my neighbors.
Speaker 1:What's the neighbors listen, they're not, don't be listening. If they are, it's a different dog. I'll pick it up. It's Doug's twin.
Speaker 2:I mean I always do, I always pick it up.
Speaker 1:Then why did you wink?
Speaker 2:I always pick it up Barry.
Speaker 1:Why are you winking?
Speaker 2:I always pick it up.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, my neighbor, she always does Must be another dog that looks just like Doug. Likes just the random drive-by pooping.
Speaker 2:He would probably do his hidden poop talent in front of the bear, yeah.
Speaker 1:The bear will probably get its paws.
Speaker 2:Yay We'll clap the paws.
Speaker 1:Taking you to the circus. Take 42.

Speaker 2:And also we want to mention something Sure, we had extraordinary numbers of streaming on our Friday episode. We went probably we marked up about 300% of what we normally stream and we think that we don't think it's us, we think that it's the honoring of Reed.
Speaker 1:The content. We talked about it to my son and we had some different things. We did Songs we played and, if you want to go back and listen to it, and many people were sharing this and you, because it blew my mind and it was in a sad way that so many people in this area have lost a child and they were, I guess they were identifying with me and they could knew kind of what I've been going through and what they've gone through and it kind of hit home with them and they appreciated us bringing, uh, I guess, talking about it and, like many shows, you may not hear them talk about stuff like that yeah, and it's not that we wanted to be um no, we just want you to know that we we were just like you were.
Speaker 1:We're human. Yeah, we have things happen and the bad things happen to us too. Yeah, and we do our best to try to uh pick ourselves up and mend and heal and try to find a way to move forward and help other people. That's what we're trying to do every day. We're trying to help somebody, because our goal from day one when we got together on the morning show which, by the way, has now been one year- yes. As if we make one person smile a day, then we've done a good thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I hope we made somebody smile today.
Speaker 1:If you missed the Friday show, you can find any of our podcasts, because we now have 101 episodes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, episode 100 is the one that you would be looking for from Friday 100.
Speaker 1:You'll see it when you look at all the listens and how many it was. Well over, how many, over 300, 400? 1,000. Listens.
Speaker 2:Yeah, On the podcast and it's on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or you can go to our website or you can find the link on one of our Facebook posts.
Speaker 1:So thank you again for listening. We appreciate that. And before we go, the morning's quote of the day what you got for us today.
Speaker 2:Money is not the only commodity that is fun to give. We can give time, we can give our expertise, we can give our love or simply give a smile.
Speaker 1:Giving is the key. Don't just sit back and do nothing. There's many things you can do, and I like the thing about a smile.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Sometimes you can walk into a business, and I've done it many times. Somebody may be checking you out and you smiled. Maybe they're having a hard day. Maybe they're having a tough day.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And it gives them just a well, makes them feel good just for a minute or two.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's two types of people in this world. There's the givers and there's the takers. And the givers are the ones that are good at giving time and giving smiles and giving love. And then you've got the takers. And sometimes it's not a bad thing to be a taker. No, sometimes you need that smile, you need that hug and you need that hug and you need that time. So decide what you need to be in the moment and and act on it time is very important.
Speaker 1:Yes, we all have time. I know we're busy. We're busy every day. But if there's somebody in your life that maybe they spend a lot of time alone, uh, find a time that you can give them a few minutes or 30 minutes or an hour. Yeah, you will never know how much it brightens your day you're right yeah, it means a lot to them. All right, it's 8.56.
