Speaker 1:A good one. What do you mean? A good one?
Speaker 2:Yeah, on Fridays I treat myself to Starbucks.
Speaker 1:Oh. Oh that's fancy. Okay, so which one did you go for today?
Speaker 2:Brown sugar iced shaken espresso.
Speaker 1:That puts a lot of pressure on those who have to make that stuff for you.
Speaker 2:No, it's easy.
Speaker 1:Because you want one squirt of sunshine and three squirts of rainbow and seven shots of unicorn. How do they know how to make all that?
Speaker 2:They just know they go to school for it, do they really? They do have training classes, I think think are they right next door to the chick-fil-a class um, probably yeah, but they skip the part where they say my pleasure, they break into their own breakout groups, gotcha. So they start out together with customer service and then, when it goes to my pleasure, they go into their own groups. Yeah, well, it works yeah, it does a great job yeah, weather's.
Speaker 1:Hey, they changed the weather. Oh, they were giving us a a good chance of rain today. Uh, then they said, okay, it's gonna rain a lot from etowah, county south. Now they're saying, okay, let's, let's try this one more time. A good chance of rain from birmingham south.
Speaker 2:Ah, yeah, so we're safe.
Speaker 1:Oh well, we may get a little bit of rain. There's a slight chance, very slight chance, of seeing a shower this afternoon here. A slight chance Etowah County South, but a better chance from Birmingham South. If you head into the beach you're probably going to see rain.
Speaker 2:If I was headed to the beach, I wouldn't care if it was rain, shine, sleet, hail, snow. I would come back and go rain burn. I would just lay it in it, Me too, would you go? A rain burn.
Speaker 1:You look different. Yeah, I got rained on, laid on the beach.
Speaker 2:I would.
Speaker 1:I would not care, like a dead seagull Just laid there.
Speaker 2:Hey, listen, we need to talk about something.
Speaker 1:Yes, we mentioned this yesterday and I still don't have the answer.
Speaker 2:We found a cockroach in the station.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we did. There was one in the back of this big warehouse thing where we store all of our stuff. And I was walking back yesterday and I told you there it was laying on the floor flat on its back with its little cockroach tongue hanging out. You've got to do the ah. It was just going and I said come here, look at this.
Speaker 1:I said every cockroach I've ever seen, always on its back, dies on its back, yes, well, you don't see one laying there, like with its head down, like on its stomach, and it's like it's pulling and stuff. It's. It don't have an answer.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, it did. We did some research. Well, you didn't like the answer.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:It said that it had to do with the point of gravity on the cockroach.
Speaker 1:They give you like 10 different things of what might cause it, but why? They said that when it gets flipped over, its muscles are weak and it can't get back over. But how does it get flipped over in the first place?
Speaker 2:How does, like you said, why does it not slowly come to a crawl and, just like that, yeah, just die, because we have a pest control guy Like this.
Speaker 1:Here's a cockroach walking across the floor and all of a sudden it's gone. And then he goes on his back. You say, oh, I wonder how he died. And now you walk in there, he's on his back and I said, now I really wonder how he died. Yeah, I know, Because this was in the middle of the floor. It wasn't like he ran into the wall and got a concussion.
Speaker 1:It wasn't like somebody stepped on it accidentally because there was no foot marks it was just laying in the middle of the floor, but they always are.
Speaker 2:It's not just a one-time thing, it's always.
Speaker 1:They're on their back, it's like they run out of gas.
Speaker 2:I know how does that happen. How does that happen happened? I don't know now we have pest control guys and they're so good they come like once a week.
Speaker 1:They spray everywhere, so maybe it got a drink of that it may have, I get that, but then how did it get flipped over on his back? All of them? I've never seen one. Maybe I'm sure everybody else has, but I've never seen one dead on his stomach and all their legs are folded. They're so gross yeah but anyway.
Speaker 2:But yeah, they, they end up on their back and we want to know how.
Speaker 1:And why? Why? On their back, but anyway.
Speaker 2:I posted a picture of us this morning, so if you have any thoughts on the cockroach, well, maybe you should put up a dead cockroach picture. Yeah, but people are sensitive about cockroaches. What do you mean? Like that's gross and people are eating breakfast.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean you know.
Speaker 1:Sorry.
Speaker 2:I might find a family-friendly cockroach, okay, well, wait until 7.30 then.
Speaker 1:When they're done Family-friendly. Yeah, family-friendly. Do a cartoon one. Yeah, yeah, if I can find one, one smiling with a cigarette in his hand.
Speaker 2:Like Joe Cool, joe Cool His t-shirt sleeves are all done. A pack of cigarettes tucked in the sleeve. I bet cockroaches would smoke.
Speaker 1:I bet they would.
Speaker 2:Hey, listen talking about smoking. What?
Speaker 1:I bet they do. I bet they smoke cigarettes. I'm sure they do Little tiny cockroach cigarettes. I mean how they die.
Speaker 2:Did you hear about Keith Urban?
Speaker 1:Yes, this is funny.
Speaker 2:Tell me about it. No, go ahead.
Speaker 1:He was in a concert somewhere yes, On stage, and he was talking about people, I guess music he liked. He may have even did a Miley Cyrus song he did.
Speaker 2:He sang Flowers.
Speaker 1:And he talked about how much he loves Miley Cyrus and he was giving her a compliment. But now people, some people are taking it the wrong way, saying it's kind of an insult. But he says he loves her, loves her voice. He said she sounds like Go ahead.
Speaker 2:No, okay, he said I've always loved Miley. I love that voice, man, that voice.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:She sounds like an ashtray Ashtray.
Speaker 1:That was his quote.
Speaker 2:And he said and I mean that as a compliment yeah, but he called her an ashtray.
Speaker 1:I know what he's talking about. Yeah, because there are some singers who they do smoke a lot and they have this kind of raspy type voice. I think that's what he meant. But he says she sounds like an ashtray. And some people are saying they're offended by this comment. But he said I meant it as a compliment. I love her voice.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can tell when somebody's been smoking a lot long years. You know I mean you long years. You know I mean you can't. It happens like cockroaches, cockroaches. So a cockroach can live like 10 days without its head did you know that, whoa? Yeah, I just pulled that out, I think. I think it's about 10 days without its head, but I'm with you. Why do they flip over to die?
Speaker 1:don't know.
Speaker 2:It's a mystery to man I would like to watch one in the process of the end of life there's probably a video somewhere. Oh, I bet you're right.
Speaker 1:Alright, things you need to know. It's a Friday, yes, the end of the week, september, the 6th first Friday of the month. Things you need to know and need to think about Think about the cockroach thing and also think about this. What else is going on?
Speaker 2:So today, espn made its cable debut in 1979. Wow, and I didn't know this. Espn stands for Entertainment and Sports Programming Network. It's always just been ESPN to me.
Speaker 1:I really didn't know that either.
Speaker 2:Yep, it says when the network first went on air, about 100,000 people were watching. Yeah, but today 70 million people watch ESPN each day.
Speaker 1:Every day, every day, every day. When I think of sports, I think of ESPN. They have branded themselves great job of sports, any sport.
Speaker 2:Yeah, all sports, it's just all sports.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And then Monday night is the big night. I'm so excited for this.
Speaker 1:I'm going to watch. I'm going to watch.
Speaker 2:Wheel of Fortune is coming back and fans are tuning in because Ryan Seacrest is going to be the new host in the 42nd season of the game show. So out of taping last month, the studio audience went wheel wild in front of a bright new gold metal laminated adorned set.
Speaker 1:So it's gold set very bright, very bright, and it looks brighter and different. Adorned set, so it's gold set, very bright. There's a picture I put up on her Facebook. It's very bright and it looks brighter and different.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's covered with 264 LED screens. Wow, wow.
Speaker 1:And Vanna says that now the technology, instead of even having to just touch the letter. It's now, when her hand gets close to a letter, it's like some kind of laser. So what if she gets her hand in front of the wrong letter? Then, accidentally, you know, you know she, maybe she's not paying attention. She puts it over here and that letter lights up instead of I think somebody runs that on a computer, do they?
Speaker 2:I think that's what I would think. I don't think that they would let her do it on her own said that's changed technology, it's just her fingers.
Speaker 1:When it gets close to the, to the screen, now it'll light up.
Speaker 2:I think somebody's in the back like lighting up the letters, though you think so.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I do. I don't know, maybe Pat Sajak back there.
Speaker 2:It may be.
Speaker 1:Because you guys got to work.
Speaker 2:It may be back there smoking cigarettes.
Speaker 1:Kicking cockroaches. Kicking cockroaches.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so what else is going on?
Speaker 2:Okay, a friend of mine told me last night she's not speaking to her boyfriend anymore. Oh, big fight. Oh yeah, they got in a big fight.
Speaker 1:Give us some gossip.
Speaker 2:Okay. So she said she told him about a woman on the news getting attacked by her bear and her boyfriend jumped in and got the bear off of her.
Speaker 1:Oh wow, Well, he saved her life, basically.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So my friend asked her boyfriend if we fight a bear for her and he said yes, but not a grizzly bear or black bear, probably just like a care bear. That's about it.
Speaker 1:So he's going to let her die then? Yeah, he's just going to let her go and I'll fight that care bear until death.
Speaker 2:She'll probably end up on her back with her legs folded up. She will, so you're ready, that's 616.

Speaker 2:Well, how about this? A 17th century Rembrandt painting it was titled, Portrait of a Girl was discovered in an attic in Maine Wow, and it sold for $1.4 million.
Speaker 1:The family just found it up there, Thought it was just a regular painting, Told somebody said this is a.
Speaker 2:Rembrandt. This is a Rembrandt. Yeah, it was painted on an oak panel and was among several heirlooms and antiques tucked away in that attic.
Speaker 1:I would love that stuff is never going to happen to me.
Speaker 2:No, I was about to say I'd love for that to happen to me.
Speaker 1:But I've never a little attic. I was up there getting stuff and I found something that looked like it might be worth something, and it was a painting. Then I realized, no, that's just a Galloway, because I missed a few numbers over here like a nine and a six on that black velvet. So I knew it was worthless, so I trashed it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you just trashed it.
Speaker 1:I forgot to color some of the numbers Paint by numbers. Yeah, yeah, so I knew it was worthless. At least you tried, I tried, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, this is blowing my mind, Okay. So do you know who?
Speaker 1:Anna Delvey is. No, you had to tell me this morning. Okay, I don't know her.
Speaker 2:Anna Delvey is. There was a movie about her show. I can't remember if it was a multimillionaire and she got into like the upper class of New York. So she's from, I think she's from Germany.
Speaker 1:Where did she get the money to start with? Where'd the money come from, she?
Speaker 2:would steal it. Oh, so let me tell you about this. Okay, she's joining the cast of Dance of the Stars.
Speaker 1:So I see the picture on her facebook page yes, what's that on her ankle? That is a home ankle monitor so she's been arrested, yes, and they're letting her go dance very.
Speaker 2:She's like fresh out the slammer, like for real, for real. She's fresh out the slammer, like but she still has the ankle bracelet yeah, and you know they only do this for controversy, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and look what it's causing. We're talking about it now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it's igniting backlash, though, because people are not happy about it after she was announced to join season 33. In the show's official promo picture, she has her ankle monitor, like we talked about, after she got permission to compete. After she got permission to compete, so she was convicted in 2019 of stealing $275,000 from hotels, banks and upper-crust New Yorkers to finance her luxurious lifestyle.
Speaker 1:So she's famous for being a thief.
Speaker 2:A scam artist.
Speaker 1:So that's what ABC even put in the press release. Yeah, it says dancing as Anna Delvey, a scam artist.
Speaker 2:I mean, that's what she is. I would, if I was anna delvey, I would want to lay like under the radar, like I just got busted. I got a movie made after me. All these people are talking about how I'm a thief, I'm a liar, I'm a cheat, and she is, and she is well, they're paying her to be on the show, so she's getting more money coming in. Is that why she's doing it? You think I'm sure. That kind of makes me mad, yeah, but I also want to see her dance.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I would keep her on the show and if she wins, she wins even more money. No, she won't win.
Speaker 2:And she gets that. What disco ball trophy thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, people hate her. To vote for her, but she's on the show.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she's on the show. That's crazy 6.33.

Speaker 2:You know, like I said, I don't get a lot of compliments, and these mean the world to me.
Speaker 1:Well, they should.
Speaker 2:I'm kidding. To poop on them makes my heart hurt. Oh, and I'm thankful for these compliments. I'm taking them in, I'm soaking it.
Speaker 1:I know you are. You're loving it. No, I'm not like that. Come on, You're saying, oh look, I got another one.
Speaker 2:If you wake up early, you could curl your hair too.
Speaker 1:I don have enough hair to curl. Thank you, so there's nothing else. They can say nice.
Speaker 2:Quit getting haircuts.
Speaker 1:Like Barry, you wear a different shirt. It's a nice different shirt you're wearing, but anyway, we'll move on. Okay, all right, 646. Wqsb.
Speaker 3:Mornings with Barry and.
Speaker 1:Holly Good morning. See what's going on this weekend. Holly's pile of stories and you're excited. So are you going to have time this weekend to go see your movie?
Speaker 2:Nope, I'm not. I'm going to have to wait during the week that's okay. Because I've got the girls and I don't know this is a movie I've got to watch first. I agree. It's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. It's rated PG-13, so it's probably safe, but I don't know about the content I read that the PG-13 is for, like scares, you know, creepy stuff.
Speaker 1:Is it language too? A little bit, I think I read, but not like blood and gore, it's kind of like the other Beetlejuice. It's not like Deadpool, where they said the F word over a hundred times no, no, no, but it does look good though.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it does. I really, really am excited to see this and I can't believe that Michael Keaton, who plays Beetlejuice, is in his 70s. Yeah, he does not look like he's in his 70s.
Speaker 1:Did you see where he's changing his name, what His real name is, michael Douglas?
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:When he came into the movie world, people said wait a minute, there's already a Michael Douglas. Yeah, pick another name. Yeah, so he just picked the name Keaton. He said I don't even know where it came from. So now he says, now that I'm older, I don't care anymore, I'm going to be called Michael Keaton Douglas, starting now. That's weird.
Speaker 2:That is weird. Okay, people do weird things in the celebrity world. Anyway, paramount Plus has announced a limited series about the unsolved murder of JonBenet Ramsey. And here's what's weird Melissa McCarthy.
Speaker 1:Who I think of as comedy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she's gonna be in it with Clive Owen set to play the child beauty pageant. Contestant's parents, wow. So, she's gonna play the parents, okay. The eight episode series will cover events before and after JonBenet's death.
Speaker 1:That's always something that's fascinated me on how they can't find who did this.
Speaker 2:They cannot.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Do you think it was a brother? What do you think?
Speaker 1:From some of the stuff I've seen. It makes you wonder. And then the dad covered it up. I saw something on that like a couple years ago, but they've never proven anything.
Speaker 2:I can't wait to watch this, but anyway, fox TV has announced that their drama series 9-1-1, lone Star will end with the upcoming season five, set to premiere on September 23rd.
Speaker 1:I love the 9-1-1 shows. I do too. Those are good.
Speaker 2:I do too. I like those too. And South Park this is big news. South Park is taking a break until 2025 because they want to avoid the election and not produce any new episodes that will influence the audience. You want to tell you what I heard? Yeah, look at this.
Speaker 1:Any new episodes that will influence the audience until they said because they don't want to be negative towards either of the candidates, trump or Harris, and affect the election in any way, because that's what they're known for is being negative and being controversial. They say we don't want anything to fall back on us, something we said or did to influence or change the election. So we're just not going to do anything until the election's over. So that's a good move.
Speaker 2:That's a good move, yeah, smart 6.55.

Speaker 2:Seaweed, seaweed, all right.
Speaker 1:Well, that's all you get. I hope that will hold you over until Monday. Yep, now the quote of the day. You say this came from an 8-year-old.
Speaker 2:It came from an 8-year-old. The mama messaged this to me and I loved it. So shout out to Devin this is her son, tuck McMillan. He's eight years old. He says rule number 10. If they stand behind you, respect them.
Speaker 1:Hold on hold on hold on Redo that.
Speaker 2:I did, I did Okay. If they stand beside, you, respect them. Okay, if they stand behind you, protect them.
Speaker 1:I like that.
Speaker 2:If they stand against you, show them no mercy, whoa.
Speaker 1:Hey, that is well done that is. For an eight-year-old that's good. That's some deep thinking. He wrote this Good Tuck. Yeah, good job, Tuck so if they stand beside you, respect them. I like that Yep Behind you. Protect them Against you show them no mercy. That is good, good. Thank you for the quote of the day.
Speaker 3:I like that 7 13 on alabama's country, giant wqsb laney.
Speaker 1:Starting monday we have a brand new laney wilson song. It's four by four by you, and it happened. We talked about it yesterday. Now you said it's not gonna happen who did it this? Morning I heard scott, oh, he said the new Laney Wilson song 4x4 times you.
Speaker 2:Why would it change? Because of the X, but why would it change?
Speaker 1:I'm just telling you Okay.
Speaker 2:You're right, I'm wrong.
Speaker 1:You're right Because the way we were talking about it, the way the song is spelled out on. If you go to download it, it's got the 4X, 4x, and then the letter U, yeah, which is said four by four by U. So he did four by four times U.
Speaker 1:So it's confusing when you first look at it, but anyway it's a good song. It's a slower song for her, which is unusual. Starting Monday, that's her future hit. We'll be spotlighting that song all this week. Coming up Monday, we'll be announcing our Teacher of the Week. Now, each week we're going to give $100 to our winning teacher. If you'd like to nominate a teacher, go to our website, WQSBcom. By the way, the Teacher of the Week is brought to you by Howard Bentley, Buick, GMC and Albertville, and whenever you go there, be sure to or like to the website, be sure to include the teacher's name, where they teach, the grade or class they teach, and then we'll contact the school and get them the $100. So you can do this. We'll have our first winner coming up on Monday morning here on WQSB.
Speaker 1:Get in my belly, Come on. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. Keep on hoping we'll be cated by the ocean. A couple of food stories. This one deals with Halloween. A little quick getting off, Well, not really off the subject, but we're talking about Halloween. Target, they said released this weekend, are releasing like 1,500 Halloween-type items. What In Target? Yeah, so a lot of Halloween stuff.
Speaker 2:I'll tell you one of them in a minute.
Speaker 1:And I'll tell you something they said there's going to be a lot of this year when you see the trick-or-treaters Beetlejuice costumes.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's good A lot of.
Speaker 1:Beetlejuice. Now we're talking about a Halloween because McDonald's they're bringing back their boo buckets. They're back again this year. I think they've had them about every year.
Speaker 2:They're so cute.
Speaker 1:They're redesigning. Some of the buckets Look a little different. They always come out around two weeks before Halloween, so they said it should be at McDonald's sometime around October 14th. And what is it? You get the bucket. Then the Happy Meals come inside and you keep the buckets.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then you use the bucket for trick-or-treating.
Speaker 1:That is a great idea. So what else is going on?
Speaker 2:So do you like Cosmic Brownies from the Little Debbie's?
Speaker 1:That's one of my favorite snacks.
Speaker 2:My girls too. They're bringing them in mini muffins form.
Speaker 1:Great idea.
Speaker 2:Yeah, these will be out soon. They're showing in some retail stores already. It's chocolate muffins with a fluffy cake texture with colorful candy bits baked into the dough.
Speaker 1:I love the little bits on top. Little crunchy bits I do too. Those will be big.
Speaker 2:Yep. And then Target's bringing back the pumpkin spice along with the pumpkin pie coffee, oh, and it's rolling out into stores now. So the new lineup are new cold brew and pumpkin spice and cold brew and pumpkin pie.
Speaker 1:You like the cold brew, you like cold coffee, right I?
Speaker 2:love cold coffee? Yeah, but it comes with flavored whipped toppings which it looks like there's a. Is that a strawberry? There's a pumpkin spice, Pumpkin spice.
Speaker 1:Then another pumpkin spice. So this goes on top of the coffee or on top of your desserts? I guess yeah, so it's whipped cream.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay. Yeah, it's whipped cream, because the coffee is unsweetened, so you use that to sweeten it up a little bit.
Speaker 1:That's a good idea. Would you try some of those which one spice? Or pecan pie? I'm so pumpkin spice out from last year, pecan pie pecan pie.
Speaker 3:I would too, yeah, try to find some at 7 25 wqsb mornings with barry and holly coming up monday we'll be announcing our first wqsb health care hero.

There's somebody that you know.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, so let's honor them Because there's like you, your mom was in the field.
Speaker 2:My mom is a retired nurse of 40 years and she hates retirement. She would rather be nursing. She is so depressed gotcha she's got to be. She's one of those that has to keep working. It has to be busy, and she spent her whole life dedicated to taking care of other people that she doesn't know how to take care of herself yep, but my daughter's in the health care field.
Speaker 1:I've got a couple of nieces in there, so pretty much everybody. So let's nominate them and let's honor them. We'll be honoring one each week. The first thing we'll be announcing, coming up Monday morning around 17. I think we'll even be calling them, I think.

Speaker 1:So we'll give them a call coming up on Monday and they can congratulate them and thank them for what they do. Come on, man. Then there's this one Bears again Another bear story this one's a baby bear, a baby bear.
Speaker 1:Two men in Ontario. They picked up a baby bear, a little black bear. It was on the side of the road and they took it with them in their vehicle on a road trip To where? Taco Bell oh my goodness, true story. Taco Bell, oh my gosh. The Pet and Wildlife Rescue Center said after they recovered the bear that the group took the bear in the van. They took it to a Taco Bell. The police discovered this in the back of a van. The bear was not injured but it was lethargic and stressed. The men said they were just having some fun, wanted to give the bear a fun trip it would never forget. So they picked it up and drove it to Taco Bell, ordered and gave it some Taco Bell food.
Speaker 2:I wonder what they ordered.
Speaker 1:Don't know what they fed it. Would you have any idea? I kinda what do you think they fed that bear at Taco Bell?
Speaker 2:What if they fed it a Bear Loopa, supreme Bear.
Speaker 1:Loopa, or what else could they have fed it?
Speaker 2:The Bear-rito, the bear-rito.
Speaker 1:Yeah, how about one?
Speaker 2:more, one more, one more. What about nachos? Bear grande.
Speaker 1:That would work. That would work you can't do that though.
Speaker 2:Poor bear you can't pick up baby bears and take them to your Taco Bell run.
Speaker 1:That's what they told them. The bear's going to be okay. The experts did say that the poor bear, when they got back, had said my stomach is killing me it's like there's a million bees in my tummy trying to get out. Please help me, poor bear, it's 739.
Speaker 3:Mornings with Barry and Hall here on Alabama's country giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:It's 8-11, mostly cloudy. There's a slight chance you could see some rain later today. Heading out to a high school football game tonight Very slight chance of rain across the area. A little better chance the further south you go, especially Birmingham South. Good chance of rain. There today Could be some heavy rainfall, especially around the beaches. Tomorrow, though, a good day. Sunday looks like the best day. It's going to be a nice weekend, weather-wise, temperature-wise. You're looking at overnight lows tomorrow night and Sunday night and the low 50s so low 50s, much better weather.
Speaker 1:Here's a quick one. There's a lady in the news from Romania. She found an amber nugget in a stream near her home. Didn't realize it was worth anything. She thought, oh, we need a new doorstop. She's been using it as a doorstop for years until somebody came to visit her and said where did you get that? She said I found it in a stream down below my house. They looked at it, took it to a jewelry store, they analyzed this and they said you know, this is actually very valuable. It's uh worth about one million dollars. An amber nugget. I'm not sure why.
Speaker 1:I'm not sure what that is exactly I don't either, but it sounds fancy they say the fossil rosin caught the eye of somebody, came to visit, visit Resin, resin. They took it and checked it and said this is worth a lot of money.
Speaker 2:Oh, my gosh. She'd been using it as a doorstop.
Speaker 1:So, In the floor for years.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, Wouldn't you think that if it was golden shiny, maybe it wasn't golden shiny, maybe it was kind of being in the stream and maybe you have?
Speaker 1:to clean it, to get the shine. Polish it yeah, I guess, but they had no clue. It was worth this.
Speaker 2:Wow. So she just had a visitor and was like, hey, guess what, Where'd you?
Speaker 1:get that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, where'd you get that? And?
Speaker 1:it was in her floor.
Speaker 2:As a doorstop.

Speaker 2:I did, that's good.
Speaker 3:Yeah it's age 16. Wqsb Mornings with Barry and Holly.
Speaker 1:Mornings crime story. This is tough, yeah, I mean somebody. That's horrible enough and you're going through a tough time. Then the next thing you know you're not getting a bill saying you owe about $15,000 because your loved one passed away. In San Antonio, a local apartment complex says you better pay up before you go. They sent a bill to the family of one of the former tenants charging her for breaking her lease when she died. When she died she had about a year left on her two-year lease. They're saying that hey, rules say that if you break your lease and don't make your payments, we can turn it over to the authorities. The woman's children received a bill from the complex for $15,676. Oh my gosh. And a collection notice that says despite a Texas law that says family members can cancel a lease if a loved one passes away, they found a way to go around it and they sent the family a bill. And the family says we're in shock.
Speaker 1:91-year-old Sandra died back in late June and was buried next to her husband. For more than 10 years she lived in these apartments. At the time of her death she had about a year left. The family received the bill for accelerated rent saying that she still owed about a year left. There's also an $1,100 fee for breaking her lease. She died, she just died. She had no choice but to break the lease.
Speaker 2:She's dead. Is that legal? I understand you're saying some of these legal things, but is that legal?
Speaker 1:That's what they had to get a lawyer now to fight this.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, Because on the letter they gave her.
Speaker 1:It even states on the reason for her move out. On the box they checked deceased, deceased. Wow, that's low.
Speaker 2:That is horrible, that's tough. Imagine the burden that you would put on your family because you already have to spend so much to bury somebody. It's so expensive when somebody dies. I know that sounds kind of weird, but it is it's true. It's true. And so then to get a bill for $15,000 because she died for rent and broke?
Speaker 1:her lease. Come on, man, that's horrible for $15,000 because she died for rent. Come on man, that's horrible. That's horrible. So now they're having to get a lawyer to fight this, so there's even more money going to be, I guess maybe.
Speaker 3:Shelled out.
Speaker 1:Hopefully they have found a friend who's doing it to help them, but probably not.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, when was this at in?
Speaker 1:Texas, in Texas, yeah, in Texas yeah. That's tough. Be curious to see how that ends up. Yeah, morning's animal stories. We have two. Forgot to mention this one yesterday. We put up the picture, the poor dog. But it's okay, his name is Buckethead.
Speaker 2:Oh no.
Speaker 1:They call it Bucky for short. It's called that because it had a plastic container that got stuck on its head and it was running around the area and could not get it off.
Speaker 2:I'm scrolling down.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this is in Vermont. The poor dog was seen wandering around for a week with a bucket-like plastic container stuck on its head. They finally caught it and they're able to get the container off. It came from an automatic dog feeder.
Speaker 2:Look at him. He's starving.
Speaker 1:Yes, look at this picture it had a hole in the end that gave Bucky a very limited ability to eat a little bit and drink a little bit. The container has now been removed and the dog is being cared for until he is healthy enough to be put up for adoption. Don't know where it come from, whose it was, but he got it stuck on its head. I'll take him. That's so sad.
Speaker 2:That is so sad. I'm driving to Vermont this weekend If you're wondering what I'm doing.
Speaker 1:It's your dog, yep.
Speaker 2:I'm going to get this dog, I'm going to get.
Speaker 1:Bucky, that one. The next time you hear a noise in the house sounds like maybe water running Every now and then.
Speaker 2:you might want to check because it could be a rattlesnake. No, look at the video.
Speaker 1:It's in California. Residents' families said they heard a noise and thought that's odd. It sounds like water's running, maybe a pipe is busted, but it only runs just every now and then it only runs for just a short time. It was actually the rattlesnake, and the family got trapped upstairs in the home because they're all afraid to go down the stairs because the rattlesnake was on the stairs.
Speaker 2:Ooh, I would barricade myself in.
Speaker 1:Yes, they had to call rattattlesnake Rescue to come and the family members found a three-foot red diamond rattlesnake inside their home, on the stairs.
Speaker 2:That's like super poisonous, right? Yes?
Speaker 1:They were stuck upstairs, had to use an app to unlock their doors to allow him to get in, because they're upstairs, they couldn't get down to let him in. Luckily they had an app that would unlock the doors to let him in, to come get the snake. That sounds fancy. Yeah, it shows him. If you watch the video, it shows him using the snake grabber tool the old snake grabber, oh yeah, to remove the rattlesnake from the stairs inside thank goodness they had the snake grabber yeah, tool.
Speaker 1:I mean you can find those at different stores, I guess. But I like how he had one. Yep, the snake had apparently slithered into the home through a door that had been left open for the family's dogs to come and go, because it was a nice day and they left the door open for the dogs to come in and out. The snake also came in. That's scary, it is. It didn't go out, oh, it made. The snake also came in. That's scary, it is. It didn't go out. Oh, made its way up the stairs. Well, the family was upstairs.
Speaker 2:Have you ever left your doors open and something came in?
Speaker 1:No, luckily no. No, what happened A mouse?
Speaker 2:Oh, I saw a mouse run in from the outside. So I love fall weather and I love crisp air, and so when we get that fall weather bite, I always open up my doors and windows. Yeah, I was in the kitchen, I was making cereal for one of my girls. Yeah, and there he goes, scurrying. I see him come from the outside, scurrying along the wall.
Speaker 1:There's no way to just go over there and catch him. No, I can't just go pick him up. I don't know where he's at now. No, and they're so fast.
Speaker 2:Yeah, don't worry, I got some traps.
Speaker 1:Oh, so is he no longer.
Speaker 2:Well, I very lovingly and gently threw him in the garbage, can oh?
Speaker 1:Like a week later. Very good, was he laying on his back like a cockroach Yep On the sticky pad?
Speaker 2:With his legs folded, smoking a cigarette. There you go.
Speaker 1:Could you let me go please? It's the weekend, it's 844.
Speaker 3:On Alabama's country, giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:Couldn't do this without them. Miguel Corona, allstate Insurance. Thank you, miguel and Anna Weathersmith. Main Street Realty Plus. They're sponsoring this month's podcast.
Speaker 2:Yeah, thanks Anna and Miguel.
Speaker 1:All right, it's quote time. Here's the coolest thing about this Somebody sent this to you and it's from an 8-year-old here in Albertville who, I guess, wrote this yeah, 8-year-old Tuck McMillan. Yeah.
