Speaker 2:Yeah, I have famous hands. Yes, you do, I'm a hen model.
Speaker 1:Oh, you could be.
Speaker 2:No, I couldn't. I have a scar now.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's true From curling my hair.
Speaker 2:How do you injure yourself so much with a curling iron? Because nobody and I'm going to make this very clear to you nobody, nobody should have to curl their hair at four in the morning.
Speaker 1:I agree. That's why I refuse.
Speaker 2:Well, I would too if I were you. But here we are and my hair is curled and I just got it going on today.
Speaker 1:Looks fabulous.
Speaker 2:Got new glasses.
Speaker 1:You were talking about the glasses.
Speaker 2:Do you recognize me?
Speaker 1:No, because honestly, the last ones you had were so bad, I know, the lenses were so scratched I could almost I could never tell if you were asleep or awake.
Speaker 2:Yeah, my talking didn't give it away. No, did I talk in my sleep.
Speaker 1:You say you talk in your sleep anyway, so I didn't know. So you have new glasses, so can you see better.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I actually can. I felt amazing when I put these on yesterday they came in yesterday. And these on yesterday they came in yesterday. And what I love about the company that ordered from is that they donate a pair of glasses for somebody in need. Oh yeah, when you buy them, so I love them and I'm just able to see everything.
Speaker 1:I'm pretty much unstoppable and you said you can see so well. You didn't realize I was a man I had no idea you're just working with a woman I had no idea I had no idea.
Speaker 1:Yeah uh, but hey it's got today. Today is going to be the last dry day for a few days. Excuse me, Because the hurricane is coming About 1 o'clock. It's going to come ashore 1, 2 o'clock in Louisiana. They're expecting a lot of flooding, a lot of storm surge, A lot of areas in Louisiana it's going to be nasty. They're saying 5 to 10 feet of storm surge. So yeah, it's going to flood a lot of Louisiana.
Speaker 2:Good Lord.
Speaker 1:This is another reason why I couldn't live there. I mean, it's like it's under like sea level, some of it.
Speaker 2:So when this happens, water comes everywhere. That's awful.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So as far as us, what's going to happen? The latest track shows it moving a little more to the west, more into Mississippi. So it's going to come up through Louisiana into Mississippi and we're going to see a lot of rain off of this tomorrow. Now for today, there's nothing to worry about as far as rain, but a lot of wind. You're going to feel the wind off of the storm today 10 to 20 mile an hour. Wind gusts all day, but it's going to be a little cooler. 83. The high After midnight is when the rain comes in here. 100% chance of showers, thunderstorms off and on all day tomorrow Wind gusts 10, 20, 30, even 35 to 40 mile an hour gust. This is like sustained winds all day tomorrow. And then, as far as storms, if we're going to see any storms the best guess will be in the afternoon tomorrow.
Speaker 1:Yeah 4, 5, 6, we'll have a window when we could see some strong storms. Huntsville to the west, toward Mississippi, has a better chance of storms than we do. Huntsville to our listening area.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just keep your radio tuned to 105.1 because if the weather goes bad, we will be stopping our regularly scheduled program to bring you the weather news.
Speaker 1:So there is a slight chance of strong storms like that. She's talking about tomorrow but not today. We'll get more into that, but this morning feels good. It's 58 in Fort Payne, 63 in Gadsden, word 66 here at QSP. A lot of stuff going on We'll talk about. We won't get into details, but the debate last night, oh my goodness, finally over.
Speaker 2:So I called you to say I was like are you listening to what I'm listening to? Are we watching the same thing? I tried to stay off of Facebook, but I got on there.
Speaker 4:This is the only thing I'll say I'm not going to tell you who I'm for, what I'm for.
Speaker 2:I don't want to sway your opinion of me, but I saw so many people with their pets in between two pieces of bread Because of the comment Trump made Because of the comment and some of them were Trump supporters.
Speaker 1:Some of them were just like, hey, you got to roll with it, man, it's just a bizarre night it was. I'm just glad it's over.
Speaker 2:I'm glad it's over, but I would like to see it rematch.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I still think they need to do the one-handed slap challenge where they stand face to face. That would be funny, you get to extend your arm and then just slap in the face.
Speaker 1:That would be funny. Yeah, yeah, but it's never going to happen.
Speaker 2:No, it's never going to happen, but dare to dream. Did you see her introduce herself? I did her introduce herself, that was the first time they'd ever met. Did you know that?
Speaker 1:uh, yeah, and she walked over, introduced herself yeah, so it was a.
Speaker 2:It was a crazy night he seemed more closed off to it yeah he shook her hand.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but anyway yeah but anyway, I'm just glad it's over me too. I just hate to see people arguing like that but that's, but, it's so whatever you say it's glad, you're glad that it's over, but it's not.
Speaker 2:It's.
Speaker 1:No, we've got another two months of this, but anyway, a lot of stuff we'll be talking about. We'll be talking about the Healthcare Hero of the Week, our Student Athlete of the Week, we've got the Teacher of the Week. A lot of stuff. We have tickets to give away.

Speaker 1:I know.
Speaker 2:Today is payday. I've looked at my bank account. There's no big bucks in there, okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But I think it's either that or a t-shirt. I think let's Okay, here's what we're going to do, and then I just put a post up on Facebook. So if you're on Facebook this morning or scrolling in bed, we ask you to finish this post for us. When I think of WQSB, I think you fill in the blank and we're going to give away a t-shirt to one answer and we may go over some of these answers on air later We'll need to.
Speaker 1:And one thing for sure we're doing coming up in about an hour. Kids seem to love some of your jokes.
Speaker 2:Yes, get your kids ready. Yeah, because we want to hear from them.
Speaker 1:We may even well, not may. We're going to take a phone call coming up after 7 and let one kid get on the radio with us and tell a joke.
Speaker 2:Yep.
Speaker 1:So brush up your kids on their jokes, because we're calling you Coming up just after 7, so be ready for that. How do you know In the meantime? Uh, this is a. This is a tough day. We'll talk more about this, but it's wednesday, september 11th, and, of course, everybody knows what happened on this day many years ago yeah which we'll talk more about that coming up in a few minutes, have a special song we're going to play too in um in remembrance of 9-11 it always makes me cry yeah, that song it does.
Speaker 1:It does, but it's. It's a tough day and it's one of those days, everybody, that were alive. If you're alive, you know exactly where you were when it happened oh yeah, so we'll talk about that, but what else is going on today?
Speaker 2:so today is national make your bed day. Do you make your bed be honest?
Speaker 1:not every day, I'll be honest not every day well, 70 of americans do. They make their bed each day so seven out of ten I think they're lying on that so when you go to work they look around and look at ten people and think I wonder which three of you did not make your bed.
Speaker 2:Me oh it's you, okay it's you. It's because, like, the alarm clock goes off and I fly back the covers and I start going. I don't have time, I don't have time to sit there and pull that cover. Back.
Speaker 1:My thought is I live alone, so who's going to come in and judge me? That's true, you didn't make your bed, I know, Well, how about this?
Speaker 2:Only 35% of people wash their sheets each week.
Speaker 1:Whoa Ooh. Okay, so roughly three out of ten don't wash their sheets.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:So the other seven don't yes.
Speaker 2:Now I will say this my girls sleep in the bed with me, yeah, and I like to keep fresh sheets Sure. Okay For them. It's really for them more than for me.
Speaker 1:If it was for me, I wouldn't care, so you're not one of the ones that don't wash your sheets.
Speaker 2:I wash my sheets.
Speaker 1:You just don.
Speaker 2:So you can see them on perfectly clean sheets.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:Marvel has officially given the go-ahead for Spider-Man 4.
Speaker 1:I'm excited.
Speaker 2:I know you are. That was one of Reed's favorite movies too right.
Speaker 1:Yes, and we all saw all of them. And Tom Holland, I think he's the best Spider-Man.
Speaker 2:Who's Reed's favorite?
Speaker 1:Spider-Man. He liked Tom Holland Good.
Speaker 2:And you're telling me that he's coming as Spider-Man, so that was always up in the air because there's been so many different Spider-Men.
Speaker 1:The rumor was they were going to do another one with another brand new Spider-Man. I didn't hear that that was one of the rumors about a few months ago. But stop with the Spider-Man, just let Tom Holland be the one for it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's so good. Is Zendaya going to be in it?
Speaker 1:Don't know yet. They haven't announced any more details.
Speaker 2:Now I've got to tell you this story and then we can go to break. But a friend called me yesterday and she said a few days ago she saw her ex being attacked by half a dozen people. Oh no, yeah, that's awful, I know, yeah, being attacked by half a dozen. And she said Holly, for a second I thought should I help, sure, and I was like, oh yeah, maybe. And then she thought, no, six people should be enough, they don't need seven. She saw her ex getting beat up by six men. I thought she meant should she help him?
Speaker 1:But no, should she help the thugs? Yeah, I see what you're saying. It's 618.
Speaker 3:WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly Look.
Speaker 1:We just talked about the hurricane. Since You've Been Gone, it's now a Category 1 hurricane. It's about 250, 60 miles southwest of Morgan City, louisiana, and they say it could amp up to a Category 2. But regardless the wind, that part is not the main problem. It's going to be the rain and the flooding and the storm surge is going to be the biggest problem. So, as far as us, we're going to see rain. We'll talk more about that, but, as of today, nothing to worry about.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:So what else is going on?
Speaker 2:So Americans are more likely to grab their phone than their Social Security card in an emergency evacuation survey found I've never thought of that.
Speaker 1:Now I luckily have my card in my wallet.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I don't know what Gen Z and what Gen X is. We've talked about this before. We always forget. Yeah, but Gen Zs are more likely to grab their laptop, shoes and medications and Gen Xs are. Are you looking it up? I'm looking it up. Yeah, grab their laptop shoes and medications, and Gen Xers are more likely to take clothing and family photo albums. 21% of boomers, which is the olders.
Speaker 1:Gen Z is roughly age 12 to 27.
Speaker 2:Okay, so they're the ones grabbing their laptop, shoes and medicine.
Speaker 1:Millennials are 28 to 43. The Gen Xers are 44 to 59.
Speaker 2:So that's the older crowd.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so the Gen Zs. So you mentioned that they're going to grab what first?
Speaker 2:Gen Zs are going to grab their laptops, shoes and medicines.
Speaker 1:Okay. So an emergency, because we're all medicated. Okay. So what would you? What goes through your mind? Emergency something's happening. You've got to grab just a few minutes to grab a few things. What would you go for first? Kids, dog, baby blanket okay, say the kids are not there. Okay, what? What item would you grab? Not not humans, but what item?
Speaker 2:baby blanket why, because I sleep in my baby blanket every single night. I'm not kidding okay I can't sleep without it. I make, I do these weird knots and twists on it. Yeah, can't explain it, but that's my.
Speaker 1:I can't live without it I think you may need to to explain it while laying on a couch yeah to someone. You might need to explain that.
Speaker 2:That's a good one.
Speaker 1:What would you grab? Because I know you've got photos of the kids. You want that, but you think about what if you're going to be out of your house for a while and you've got to survive? So part of this is'd like to say phone charger yeah okay, but what if there's no power? That does you no good, yeah I know.
Speaker 2:So when me and valerie went to, or valerie and I went to, the p-body, what was that for saint? Jude for saint jude, they had a fire alarm go off. Oh you, you know what I walked out with. No telling. My baby blanket and my curling iron Left my phone. I had my phone in my pocket Left my wallet, left my keys, left everything else. I walked out with my curling iron and I was thinking what am I doing with this curling iron?
Speaker 1:It was just a panic moment. Probably a pair of shoes, for sure.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, because you don't know what you're going to be in.
Speaker 1:See, I wouldn't worry about it, I'd just be like go, I'd put on a pair of shoes and at least enough clothes, at least pants or a shirt or something.
Speaker 2:Well, hopefully we never have to worry about having to evacuate fast. But 74% of people said that they would grab their cell phone.
Speaker 1:Okay, good, I would you don to.
Speaker 2:I think yeah 63% would grab their wallet or purse. Okay 62% would grab their birth certificate and other documents.
Speaker 1:I don't know where mine is.
Speaker 2:I wouldn't be like oh, hold on, let me go search through my important documents.
Speaker 1:I don't think I'd be looking for that no 56% said their social security card.
Speaker 2:I don't even know where mine's at If this happens to be in my bill form.
Speaker 1:It's like, if it wasn't, I wouldn't have a clue where it was.
Speaker 2:I'd have to go to the social security office.
Speaker 1:I have no idea. They would be closed too 43% would get their medicines.
Speaker 2:Now I would get my medicines. They're in like a little tote and that's something like I mean you've got to have to survive, man. Yeah, you know someone's keeping us alive, sure, yep. And then some would take photo albums.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if you've got your phone, a lot of your photos are on there.
Speaker 2:That's where all my phones are. We've talked about that before. How scary it is If I lose my phone. I'm losing every baby picture I have. 40% would grab clothing.
Speaker 1:Yep Got to have that.
Speaker 2:Then laptop, shoes, water, food and snacks.
Speaker 1:Water's a good one.
Speaker 2:A bottle of water. At least you've got something to drink, At least for a while. But I feel like a neighbor. If it was a fire, a neighbor would be like, hey, you want some water. I wouldn't be like, oh, I've got to get me a Diet Coke before I go out of here. Every man for himself, yeah 24% say engagement rings and wedding bands. No, because if that's happening, you probably want to pretend to be single anyway, so she's on her own. So why would you?
Speaker 1:why 19 are grabbing tylenol and and acids I wouldn't, I wouldn't think. Let me go get my tylenol oh goodness, I may have a heartburn from eating another human. I better get some, some tums 17 would grab toiletries Like what?
Speaker 2:Why You're out in the middle of the woods and shampoo?
Speaker 1:I don't. I mean bears are fine with it, so just pretend you're a bear.
Speaker 2:People will help you, like with toiletries. Why no, no, no people. I mean, if you need to use the bathroom, people's going to give you toilet paper. If you need to wash your bathroom, people are going to give you toilet paper.
Speaker 1:If you need to wash your hair, somebody is going to help you out and give you shampoo. Leave the toiletries. I don't think washing my hair is going to be on top of my list.
Speaker 2:Nope, it's not going to be on top of mine. 13% said heirloom jewelry. That would be tough for me. If I had heirloom jewelry, which I don't, I feel like that would be something I might want to grab.
Speaker 1:Look at the next thing on the list. This is bizarre.
Speaker 2:Okay, the last one that made the list is the gaming system.
Speaker 1:So you're going to grab your PlayStation before you run out the door? Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2:I've got to save my Warzone. I've got too much saved on this hard drive, so you're out there fighting for your life, trying to survive and you say, I might as well play get my mind off how the world's ending. Did you answer what the one thing you would take, not your wallet Shoes.
Speaker 1:I got my shoes first, really yes, because I'm barefooted. I don't want to have to try to survive running through broken whatever barefooted.
Speaker 2:I wouldn't grab my shoes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because I saw Die Hard. John McClane didn't have any shoes on and he got glass in his foot and that was tough. Well, john Wick didn't wear shoes sometimes and he still kicked yeah, I'm going to go find John Wick. Yeah, hey where are we going? I'm with you, big guy.
Speaker 2:What was the superhero that speeds around real fast?
Speaker 1:Oh Flash.
Speaker 2:Flash yeah.
Speaker 1:I'd hop on his back and say let's go check out the world real quick. Yeah, got nothing else to do, I know. Yeah, all right, 6.32.
Speaker 3:Mornings with Barry and Hall here on Alabama's country giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:Dirt and sheep, cody Johnson, and this week Chris Young takes over the top spot with Young Love and Saturday Night. Hey, coming up in a few minutes, got some Luke Holmes and I read this morning where Luke is getting set to open his new bar You've been to. Nashville oh yeah, wild Horse Saloon there for years. No longer there. It's like an iconic club. They used to have even live TV shows from there.
Speaker 2:So like I go to Nashville but I don't go bar hopping in Nashville, so I don't know the bars Got you.
Speaker 1:Well, the Wild Horse Saloon's been there forever. Well, they closed it back um, I guess back around the time they had the bombing in nashville back a few years ago, around thanksgiving, if you remember. Yeah, it's usually somebody um oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, thanksgiving christmas. It was around one of the holidays yeah, it was on anyway, I think it's safe.
Speaker 1:But now luke hall has bought that area and he's getting set to open his bar called category 10. Now it's going to be where the wild horse was and it features five different bar experiences. Inside. You got one called the honky tonk, one called hurricane hall, the steel, five leaf clover sports and then the eye. They're all a little bit different. So when you walk in the wild horse, um yeah, the number five leaf clover sports but is there five different? Bars inside the bar that.
Speaker 2:That's really neat.
Speaker 1:So when you walk into the Wild Horse you have like, if you want to do, maybe like a lot of. This one, I guess, has a lot of sports TV stuff, probably some good apps and appetizers and stuff.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, like a sports bar. So there's a different kind of experience.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so anyway, it's going to be opening up, coming up in November. All they're saying is November. So if you're heading to Nashville around the holidays, check out Luke Holmes. He's the latest artist with his own bar entertainment. The country stars are taking over Nashville as far as putting their own restaurants and bars in. Nashville. I think that's cool.

Speaker 1:Yeah, uh, there's a bunch in there morgan wallen too, didn't he?
Speaker 2:didn't he open one?
Speaker 1:I'd have to go look and see, because there's so many of them I think I remember us reporting that but anyway. So there's a lot of stuff, because we were like don't throw the chair off your own morgan you're right, but anyway it's gonna be opening up in November. We'll have more country news coming up Also, don't forget. Coming up in about 30 minutes, we'll be giving one kid on the way to school a chance to get on the radio with us and win some fair tickets and give us your best joke.
Speaker 1:Yes so mom, dad, if you're going to have the kids in the car, get ready. We'll tell you when to call and we'll let you even Hollywood give you a, a joke, to show you how it's done. Okay, since she's the professional.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, hey, you put up a post about what 45 minutes ago, 30 minutes 33.
Speaker 1:You did this about a year ago when we first started this morning show and you simply asked finish this for us. We'll give one t-shirt to one answer and go over your answers on the air, Like when I think WQSP, I think blank. Yeah, when I think WQSP, I think blank. What do you think of when you think WQSP? Yeah so what are some of the comments?
Speaker 2:So Casey Edmondson says she said well, I started whistling the new theme song when I read that oh, okay, I like that.
Speaker 1:We'll have to play that again in a few minutes Yep.
Speaker 2:Melissa Walker says best morning show. Shirley Maxwell says best part of my morning, the best conversation and music. Jillian McDaniel says good southern accent and laughter. Yeah, I've got that, sorry. Jonathan Carter says country music and morning show. Finley Petty she was so sweet. We met her at the career day at Crossville.
Speaker 1:I remember that she said it was incredible last year.
Speaker 2:Cassidy Sewell says Barry and Holly morning show and Friday night scoreboard.
Speaker 1:Thank you, cassidy Sewell says Barry and Holly Morning Show and Friday Night Scoreboard. Thank you, Cassidy. Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2:Cassie Phelps also said Barry and Holly Morning Show.
Speaker 1:Thank you, I appreciate that.
Speaker 2:Amy McCoy. This means the world. I think of the amazing sacrifices Barry and Holly make by getting up so early every day to bring us the very best. I'm not trying to pat myself on the back here at all, but sacrifices are made even in my personal life and it means so much for somebody to just say, hey, thank you, or you're doing a good job. I would take that over a $500 bonus. I know that sounds crazy.
Speaker 1:No, I agree.
Speaker 2:If Mrs C came in here and said, hey, holly, you're doing a really good job, that would be worth more to me than any amount of money. It just means that much. It feels good for somebody to tell you hey, you're doing a good job.
Speaker 1:But I'm the opposite. If she wasn't going to give me $1,000 and said you're doing a great job, that would mean more to me. No, I'm kidding, no, no, no, I'm saying you either get the money or the compliment. I'm kidding which one? I'm kidding, you're right. I agree with that I might have to change that tune. No, but seriously, you're right. I mean these comments people make. We read every one of these.
Speaker 1:We do Whenever we post like this and we talk about them and they mean the world to us, because sometimes in this business, as with any job, you may do your job at the very best you can do it. Nobody ever says one word about you did a great job. You did a good job. Great job, yeah, I appreciate what you do. Many times at jobs, people go through life never hearing that from anybody.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and we pour our heart and soul and we literally never stop talking about the morning show and what we can do to make it better and brighter for you. I mean, barry and I will talk on the phone until 8 o'clock at night back and forth about what we can do for the show. I'll call you with an idea, or you'll call me or we'll say what can we do better? Let's get feedback from our listeners and we take, like you said, we read every single comment that comes through, even if we don't respond. We're reading them and we're so thankful for the kind words.
Speaker 1:I told a worker here one time years ago, a new guy, he just started. I was talking to him about his shift and I said let me give you some advice. Once you become complacent with your job and once you become thinking you can't get any better, that you're as good as you can get, that's when you begin falling backwards and you begin to fail in every job ever.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, you can't not just in radio you can't think that you're doing the best you can.
Speaker 1:You can't get any better. You can always get better at something at your job. So once you begin thinking, oh, I'm great, I can't get any better than this.
Speaker 2:That's when you begin going backwards and you begin to fail I think that's good advice because I have seen some firsthand um in this industry yeah that think they are the best and that they can't improve that they are at their peak.
Speaker 1:And you can't give them any advice because they don't want to hear it.
Speaker 2:They don't want to hear it.
Speaker 1:They think they're better than you. Yeah, oh, look, that's so weird.
Speaker 2:So our phone rings, guys, and when it rings it lights up this little flasher. Yeah strobe. Yeah, a little strobe, light.
Speaker 1:It secretly blinds us both.
Speaker 2:It does, but it's supposed to be silent, but somehow somebody has turned the ringer on.
Speaker 1:This one's silent but deadly.
Speaker 2:So y'all might know Be careful yeah 646.

Yeah, so we'll give you a chance to win something. I want to see you be brave. So the morning's quote of the day and this made me think of you, because people may not know a lot of things about you, but one thing you also have another career that you stepped away from momentarily to do this.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And this quote kind of ties in with you. Yes, Now tell everybody what you did before this.
Speaker 2:So I had a YouTube channel. I have a silver play button and I had a pretty big Instagram. But what I would do is I would work with companies and show products how to craft. I made glitter tumblers, wood painted tumblers, all kinds of Cricut stuff. I worked for Cricut, the vinyl cutting machine. I worked with them to release new products. I would go to different Michaels and do demos. I created something every day.
Speaker 1:And I've seen some of the videos and some of the stuff you made and these are amazing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can. Actually, if you search my name, holly Mostella, I'm not saying Google me, I'm not like that, but if you do, if you Google me, you can see all my past videos and you do a great job with these.
Speaker 1:Five years of my career was dedicated to that and you stepped away from that to try radio and I love it. Now you're doing great in radio. So the crafting stuff you do very good at that.
Speaker 2:Well, thank you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so this quote kind of ties in with what we're talking about.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I love this. It says the world always seems broader when you've just made something that wasn't there before.
Speaker 1:You've given us something that we didn't have before. So, whether it's something that you made, like a tumbler, a craft, or whether you make music, whether you tell a joke, like Ethan just did but you've given us something we haven't had before. It makes the world a brighter place, a better place it does. So try to always do something to make somebody happy if you can. You can't go wrong. If you try to make somebody smile, that's right, yep, all right, 7-16.
Speaker 3:Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's country giant WQSB.
Speaker 4:In my belly. Come on, it's peanut butter jelly time.
Speaker 1:Peanut butter jelly time. A couple of food stories. I love ice cream. I love getting those toppings you can buy. You can get the fudge, the strawberry, the pineapple.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, but there's two new ones that's coming out. I guess they've been out for a little while, just now seeing these A&W Root Beer and Cherry Dr Pepper, dessert Toppers for ice cream and pretty much anything. But I'm picturing a good bowl of vanilla ice cream homemade and then pouring some of this on top. I love root beer from time to time Not a lot of it, but I think that would be good on ice cream. And then the Dr Pepper the Cherry Dr Pepper that would be good on ice cream.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that would be good these come in bottles.
Speaker 1:You can now get these online and in some stores.
Speaker 2:That's cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, dairy Queen tested out their Cookie Monster Dipcon this summer, and now it's about to go nationwide. I'm so excited.

Speaker 1:So honoring Cookie Muncher, and it's blue too.

Speaker 3:Barry Queen should be getting these any day now. Check them out at 726, Barry and Holly on Alabama's Country Giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:Rachel has returned. There she is. Good morning, Rachel. Good morning, how are you. I'm fantastic. So we've got a good day today messy day, tomorrow possibly a stormy day.
Speaker 4:Yeah, we need to enjoy today all the way around we do by celebrating with tacos for lunch.
Speaker 2:Yes, we should celebrate tacos for lunch.
Speaker 4:Taco Wednesday.
Speaker 2:Now I'll tell you this Rachel yeah, me and Barry are going to do a movie review today.
Speaker 4:Yeah, oh, you want to tell what we're going to see.
Speaker 1:She wants to see Beetlejuice.
Speaker 2:I want to see Beetlejuice, beetlejuice.
Speaker 1:We've heard mixed reviews.
Speaker 2:We've heard mixed reviews. Some say it's terrible, that it should have never been released. Some say we like it. So we're going to see what we think. Do they like it or do they love it?
Speaker 4:I don't know we're going to find out.
Speaker 1:Well, we're going to talk about something right now. Come on man. Come on man. It's going to talk about what everybody's talking about this morning. Who watched the debate? Not going to take sides, Not going to say one way or the other, how we feel that's not important. No one cares what I think.
Speaker 2:We're rolling our eyes at all of it, though.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but it was like a human cat fight last night.
Speaker 2:It was awful.
Speaker 1:It was just crazy listening to this. And here's the come on man part to me Now. Did you watch the debate last night? I did the first half, I fell asleep. Second half, gotcha. But I've noticed over the past few years when they have a debate they ask these candidates questions and they go, or they do everything in the world but not answer it, they just circle all around it they'll touch on it, then they'll go on a different direction yes, it's like off to the wild blue yonder and I'm thinking they ask you a question.
Speaker 1:why don't you answer the question?
Speaker 2:Well, they made Trump.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean, I'm not taking sides, Please don't throw rocks at your radio but when they asked Trump a question and he went around it because he had a lot to say, they would say Mr President, answer the question. But when they would ask Kamala, she would go around it and they let it continue. There was a difference. They made a difference.
Speaker 1:But anyway, it blows my mind that they ask a question and the candidates never answer the question.
Speaker 4:No, they always take it and turn it to what they want to talk, to talk about yeah, and push their agendas, yes, like here's an example.
Speaker 2:Here's an example what I'm worried about what you're gonna say. No, no, I'm not gonna talk.
Speaker 4:I'm not mentioning names, but like say, here's how they do it, like say here's the okay.
Speaker 1:You're like the one of the candidates okay, am I, oh god I would say, like here's the question okay, what sound does a cow make? And they would say something like here's the question Okay, what sound does a cow make? And they would say something like a cow. When you think about cows, you think back to when I was a child and my grandfather was so poor he had to sleep with cows to stay warm. And speaking of staying warm, my opponent plans on raising the cost of your power bill by $2 trillion. And speaking of trillion, the word trillion is spelled like tricycle, and my opponent plans to take all tricycles out of the world, out of the hands of children, not the tricycles.
Speaker 2:See, that's how they do it. No, it all boiled down to tricycles. All I wanted was what sound does a cow make.
Speaker 1:So you went from cows mooing to raising your power bill, to taking tricycles out of your hands from kids, that's how they do it.
Speaker 2:I don't want a president that's gonna steal all the little kids tricycles, but am I not correct?
Speaker 4:that's oh they do it. I don't want a president that's going to steal all the little kids' tricycles. But I am not correct. That's how they do it, you're right.
Speaker 2:You're right, there was one. Oh God, I've got to be careful, but there was one particular subject that she would not touch. Can't say it.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But she wouldn't touch it and he kept trying to go over it and she was just like nope, not having it. Nope, I grew up middle class.
Speaker 4:Yep, how many times did we hear that? Yeah?
Speaker 2:Well, I told Barry we should have played. We were talking on the phone and I said we should take a shot every time he says Donald Trump. It would be wasted. Every time she said Donald Trump, donald Trump, I said that's a dangerous game. Which I don't drink, but if I did, I could take a shot of water, but I'd be water wasted.
Speaker 1:A lot of people had their mind made up before the debate, so the debates are just crazy to watch.
Speaker 2:Yes, and can I please say one thing?
Speaker 1:Yeah watch.
Speaker 2:Yes, and can I please say one thing? Yeah, celebrities are going to be putting, uh, their beliefs online soon, because the election is coming up in two months. Sure, don't base your future on who you love as a celebrity yeah does that make sense?
Speaker 1:it does because we've seen some careers and you go back to the dixie chicks. Years ago, yeah, they made a political comment during a concert. Yeah, and their career went away. Because people go to concerts to hear you sing and entertain. That's why I pay tickets, pay price, to see your show, right, I don't care about what your political beliefs are. I don't care, that's right. I just want to hear you entertain me because I like your music. Yeah, when you get on stage and use that as a platform to tell me what you believe and tell me who I should vote for, I don't want to hear that I'm going to vote for who I want to vote for.
Speaker 2:I think that's how I view it is a misuse of their platform.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just entertain us, yeah just do what you get paid for. If you're a singer, sing. If you're an actor, act. Don't get up there and tell me who I need to vote for keep your political preferences to yourself. I don't care who you are, I don't care.
Speaker 2:That's your belief, fine even some of my favorite people in the world. I'm not talking about just celebrities, but family members, some of my favorite people in the world. We don't have the same political beliefs or views, but we are at a point in our country where we have to get past that and join together and unite, because we are about to celebrate the 23rd anniversary of the worst thing that's happened to the United States the terror attack. The terror attack, and who we were like, we were talking about before, who we were on 9-12, is who we should be every day Supporting each other, loving each other. Unity, that's all I want for our country, you got it.
Speaker 1:So, regardless of who the president is going to be, we need to try to pull together.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just pull together.
Speaker 1:And we're going to play a song coming up next. Rachel hasn't heard this. We got this 23 years ago. His name is Bob Holiday. He's a radio announcer and he recorded this to the music of Silent Night and it's based on the voice of God talking about what happened during the terrorist attacks on the US. And if you haven't heard this, it's very emotional, it's very well done and that's coming up next. So if you've never heard this, it's worth listening to. It's coming up in about 90 seconds, so just hang around.
Speaker 3:WQSB Mornings with.
Speaker 1:Barry and Holly. It's been 23 years, unbelievable 23 years ago, that this happened. So the gentleman's name is Bob Holliday. I'm a radio announcer. He recorded this and he recorded it as if it's the voice of God speaking to you looking over the events that happened and looking over the people that were involved in this, and it's simply called Silent Night World Trade Center. And here it is.
Speaker 5:You say you'll never forget where you were when you heard the news on September 11th 2001. Neither will I one, neither will I. I was on the 110th floor in a smoke-filled room with a man who called his wife to say goodbye. I held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the piece to say Honey, I'm not going to make it, but it's okay, I'm ready to go. I was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast to their children. I held her up as she tried to understand his words and as she realized he wasn't coming home.
Speaker 5:That night I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a woman cried out to me for help. I've been knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years. I said, of course I'll show you the way home. Only believe in me now. I was at the base of the building when the priest ministered to the injured and devastated souls. I took him home to tend his flock in heaven. He heard my voice and answered. I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, with every prayer. I was with the crew as they were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the believers there, comforting and assuring them that their faith has saved them.
Speaker 5:I was in Texas, kansas, london. I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news. Did you sense me? I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every name, though not all know me. Some met me for the first time on the 86th floor. Some sought me with their last breath. Some couldn't hear me calling to them through the smoke and flames. Come to me this way, take my hand. Come to me this way, take my hand. Some chose for the final time to ignore me, but I was there.
Speaker 5:I did not place you in the tower that day. You may not know why, but I do. However, if you were there in that explosive moment in time, would you have reached? For me, september 11th 2001 was not the end of the journey for me. September 11th 2001 was not the end of the journey for you, but someday your journey will end and I'll be there for you as well. Seek me now, while I may be found. Then, at any moment you know you're ready to go, I will be in the stairwell of your final moments. Remember, I love you.
Speaker 1:WQSP it's called. Really it doesn't have a title. I think it's Silent Night World Trade Center. That's well written.
Speaker 2:It gets me when he says I've been waiting for 50 years and you used your last breath to call for me.
Speaker 4:That's a very emotional song.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's tough.
Speaker 4:I think about all those that were on the planes and in the tower calling their loved ones to tell them that they're not coming home.
Speaker 1:So his name is Bob Holiday and he was a radio announcer and he recorded that and I think that's just well written and you need to be ready.
Speaker 2:Got to be ready.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's good. So we look back on this day and honor those who lost their lives and it's so awful to think of what happened. Whether you're in the World Trade Center or in Washington DC, or in the field in Pennsylvania or on the plains, and you're so innocent, you had nothing to do with hurting nobody when this happened to you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I hope we never experience. I hope my children never know what this pain feels like to have.
Speaker 1:I hope they have empathy for people that have experienced 9-11, but I hope that they never experience what we have gone through I agree, all right, if you miss this, it will be on our podcast, which will be going up on our Facebook page later this morning, after 9-30. So feel free to look at it and listen to it and share it with others. In case you'd like for somebody to hear this, that's where you can find it. It'll be on the inside of our podcast. Yeah, yeah right. 751.
Speaker 3:Mornings with Barry and Hall here on Alabama's country giant WQSB Baggage, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Love going there. I love going there. You never know what you're going to find there. Oh yeah, but speaking of things like that, hotelscom released a list of things that have been lost. That's basically what unclaimed baggage is. Yeah, some absurd, crazy lost and found items. They release this list every year. They keep a list of things that's been left behind when people check out of their hotel rooms Weird things. Have you ever? You used to travel a lot.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Did you ever leave something behind accidentally?
Speaker 2:I've never lost no, thankfully I always. I'm so OCD and paranoid that I'm going to leave something. So I double check, triple check. Yeah, I've never lost or left anything. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, the number one item is something I left behind many years ago. It's phone chargers. Oh, yeah, yeah, phone chargers. Those are easy. It is because you plug them up and maybe on your nightstand, next to the bed or in the bathroom when you're getting ready and you're in a hurry you've got to get out, you've got to get out, and you go off and leave it.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And then you've got to go find another one. So, according to this, they surveyed and studied 400 hotels. Common left-behind items Phone chargers are number one Dirty laundry, which I get it Changing clothes. Maybe you left them in the bathroom. You forgot to check again.
Speaker 2:Put some towels over it.
Speaker 1:So that's number two, makeup. So makeup, I'm guessing for the ladies, I don't know, but makeup is in the top five. Okay, then they get into some of the weird stuff. Someone left behind their pet lizard.
Speaker 2:Oh, no yeah, oh no Poor lizard. Poor lizard.
Speaker 1:You know it's over when they leave you behind in the hotel room.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, yeah, the honeymoon's over there.
Speaker 1:How do you forget your lizard? Where'd Lizzie?
Speaker 2:go. I don't know, I thought you had him. I thought you had him, then why? There you go. I don't know, I thought you had him.
Speaker 1:I thought you had him. Why do you even take your lizard on vacation with you? Why would you not?
Speaker 2:Why would you not?
Speaker 1:That's a real question, you would obviously take it if you had a pet lizard on vacation. No, on a trip.
Speaker 2:No, but I also wouldn't feed it crickets from the yard. Well, like you did, I didn't know I learned the hard way, yeah, you did so did the bearded dragon?
Speaker 1:Okay, somebody left behind a Rolex watch. Whoa, there's a valuable mistake, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:That's a valuable mistake.
Speaker 1:That's a keeper, a car tire.
Speaker 2:Why.
Speaker 1:First of all, how did the tire get in the room?
Speaker 2:Well, they had to roll it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but why? Why didn't you just put it in the car? Simply yeah, the trunk, or maybe I don't know. Why did you bring it to the room?
Speaker 2:You know what I found one time? What Dentures oh.
Speaker 4:That was gross, yes.
Speaker 2:So I found somebody's whole teeth, whole teeth, yeah, anyway.
Speaker 1:Look at these other weird things. There's two full leg casts, like you had a cast on your leg and you Broke free. They broke free, they're dancing out of way. Okay, and is it? Evian filled tub? Evian Filled tub for a bath. So they filled it full of bottled water, evian and left behind all the bottles.
Speaker 2:And that's expensive.
Speaker 1:That's expensive bath.
Speaker 2:Why would you need that?
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't understand that one at all.
Speaker 1:Somebody left behind four pounds of bananas. Four pounds, four pounds of bananas. I could see leaving behind one.
Speaker 2:But you're not going to forget all four pounds. Not four pounds.
Speaker 1:Because you know they're there.
Speaker 2:Imagine that you are the hotel housekeeping that has to go clean up four pounds of bananas. Nobody wants to do that. You can get too many pounds of bananas.
Speaker 1:I think so. Yeah, You'll never have leg cramps the rest of your life probably.
Speaker 2:But I've got one. Maybe that's why they were able to take the leg cast off is because they loaded up on bananas and they're so healthy.
Speaker 1:Now, yeah, I've got one. Okay, a friend of mine said he was traveling recently.
Speaker 2:Is this true?
Speaker 1:True story, true story, true story. I don't know if I can give all the details, okay, because it's a little out there, a little racy out there. He said that he checked in and he was in his room A nice hotel and A nice hotel and then in the middle of the night he knocked over a drink like some water on the night, saying he was getting up because he got onto the comforter of the bedspread.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So he's kind of cleaning it up real quick. And he pulled the bedspread of the comforter back a little bit, he found an item that was underneath the comforter, underneath the sheets. So the item was left behind, I guess, by the previous person in the room, and it proves that housekeeping did not change the sheets, ew Did not take care of the bed. This is an item that's very personal. Oh no, okay, I'm not sure how to explain this without.
Speaker 2:Oh, no, it's very personal. You would find it at Love Stuff. That's how Probably there you go. No, it's definitely you would. Yeah's how Probably there you go Probably. No, it's definitely you would, yeah, you would, yeah, yeah, if you go to Love Stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and Since it wasn't your average, no, wasn't your average size?
Speaker 2:Oh, it was extra large.
Speaker 1:Take a bullet for somebody. Not in this case, not in this case, not in this case. That's all I'm going to say. Go to commercial it was 8.15.
Speaker 3:On Alabama's Country, Giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:Well, this is a crime story. It had a happy ending, kind of a feel-good story. Rebecca and Josh were brother and sister. They were selling lemonade on their front lawn in mid-august, just a few weeks ago, when a man grabbed their money jar and ran off with it, had about 40 bucks inside of it. Oh no, they've been working all day on this. It doesn't say exactly. This says chesapeake Police Department were called. They said we'll try to find them. Don't know if we can catch them. The mom had gone inside for a few minutes, let the kids outside. When it happened, luckily nobody was hurt, but they took all their money. The kids were discouraged and disappointed. That's when the police department encouraged them to host another lemonade stand, maybe next week. So they had a plan. Now someone heard about this and somebody in the police department decided to post something and say hey, there's a couple of kids. Here's what happened to them. They're going to be hosting another lemonade, opening another lemonade stand next week. Come by and make this a big success.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, a biker in the area posted this to all of his friends. So on August 24th, the day the lemonade stand had just opened, more than 130 bikers rolled up to the lemonade stand to get the lemonade Aw. They had to keep going inside and getting mom to help make them more and more and more. Before the day was over, about 650 people showed up, including family, friends, neighbors, strangers, local firefighters, police, city council members, anybody who heard about it, and they raised thousands of dollars.
Speaker 2:And that's how you develop strong character. Yes, yes.
Speaker 1:They could have gave up and said we're never doing this again. This is horrible. People are are mean, they stole our money. But instead, mom, let them know that, yeah, there's some people out there, but not everybody yeah, I think we could take a lesson from these kids and just everyday life.
Speaker 2:We could get so discouraged and say all of these bad things are happening. Or we could say, you know what, let's try again. And then start your day off and with us, of course, and then set the tone and then have a good day, choose to have a good day now they say that there are good people in the world.
Speaker 1:Yeah, occasionally there's one or two which is going to happen, but overall there's good people out there and so many of them listen in this area too. Yeah, the eating contest made me think of the hot dog guy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Kobayashi and Joey Chestnut.
Speaker 1:Joey Chestnut. But this time they're having a lobster roll eating contest in New Hampshire and the governor was there and the governor helped save someone's life because one of the contestants got choked on the lobster roll. I've always wondered how many times has this happened? Yeah, in these eating competitions you know you're trying to eat this stuff as fast as possible. How many times has somebody maybe got choked and it happened during the competition? But the good thing is the governor jumped over.
Speaker 2:You guys say the governor's name, that's fine.
Speaker 1:Sununu. Yeah, chris Sununu I like that. Yeah, the governor's name, that's fine, sanunu. Yeah, chris sanunu, I like that. Yeah, I did too. Yeah, I mean, you know, when he's little chris sanunu, you made a boo-boo.
Speaker 1:Shame on you for the boo-boo it wasn't me, it was chris sanunu but anyway, he jumped in and gave the guy the hominic maneuver wow, and it dislodges the piece of lobster or the roll. But here's the weird thing is, this wasn't at the end of the competition, so the minute the piece popped out the guy went back to eating and back to competing. What Didn't slow him down?
Speaker 2:He kept stuffing lobster rolls in.
Speaker 1:He did no way yeah.
Speaker 2:So he got his throat cleared. Yeah, he. So he got his throat cleared. Yeah, he had to have the Heimlich. Sure did I would be traumatized, I would. I'd be crying, yeah. But he said, nope, I'm going to eat. How many more? Seven?
Speaker 1:Seven more. I'm going to eat seven more lobster rolls. It doesn't say if he won or not. I would hope so.
Speaker 2:I don't think so. I think it would tell it to compete again next year.
Speaker 1:Maybe that's a sign to hang up your lobster eating roll.
Speaker 2:If Sununu has to save you once he shouldn't have to save you twice.
Speaker 1:No, maybe it's time to retire from the lobster roll eating contest, but you think it's probably happened to many times.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, you know it's had to happen especially with the hot dogs For kids. That's like the number one choking hazard food. One of them, it is.
Speaker 1:For kids that's like the number one choke and hazard food One of them. Well, you would think. I mean it is because you cut them up into these little bite-sized pieces and they say not to.
Speaker 2:You've got to quarter them, yeah.
Speaker 1:And they say hot dogs is not safe to give to kids at a certain age, because they're just the right size to get lodged.
Speaker 4:Yes, that's what they say, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but you would think somewhere along the way one of the the hot dog eating competitors got a wiener hung in his throat and it couldn't Seriously, and you would think it's happened before.
Speaker 2:Not the wiener hung in the throat.
Speaker 1:You would think it's happened before. I'm sure it has. Apparently, no one has ever died from it, because we would have heard about that, I would think.
Speaker 2:Death by wiener hung in the throat, I would think our buddy Scott.
Speaker 1:Chambers would have reported that that that had happened. But since Scott hasn't said it's happened, then it's never happened.
Speaker 2:Let me ask you this yeah. If you could have. I'm skipping over that. That was. There's no words for that. Okay, I don't know how you get away with stuff like that. What were you wanting to say?
Speaker 1:ma'am.
Speaker 2:If you had to eat one thing in a contest, what would it be?
Speaker 1:Probably. I love key lime pie.
Speaker 2:A key lime pie eating contest.
Speaker 1:I think I could damage in that.
Speaker 2:I feel like you would have to enjoy this food to keep it down.
Speaker 1:You would Like the hot dog. You've got to wonder when Joey Chestnut finishes eating like 83, how long does it take him to want another hot dog? Yeah, is it? Days, weeks, months.
Speaker 2:Does he wait until next year? I?
Speaker 1:don't know if I would ever want another one. So what about you? What food would you possibly be able to compete in? Popcorn, Popcorn. See that one could be dangerous.
Speaker 2:I've got choked on popcorn before. Oh, you did Like a full-on choke.
Speaker 1:Well, just a half a choke.
Speaker 2:You coughed and it was up. Yeah, and it was up. The kernel came out, and it was just a half a choke.
Speaker 1:That was back to normal.
Speaker 2:How traumatizing for you it was. It's better than a wing nerve it was on your throat, yeah.
Speaker 3:Once that happens, that that's what you're always known as at 843.
