Speaker 3Good morning Morning. Morning Morning, good morning Morning. So come on y'all, let's kick this shindig off the right way. Come on now. I can't stop this feeling. It's time to rise and shine and get your morning started with Alabama's award-winning morning show Girl. You just don't realize it's time to go around the race.
Speaker 1You know what I will have some meatloaf. Let's have some meatloaf.
Speaker 3You want some? Hey, mom, the meatloaf. We want it now. Broadcasting live from high atop Alabama's beautiful sand mountain. This is the one. Tell your friends, I am your biggest fan. Please welcome your hosts, mary. My hand is clean.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, my hand is clean.
Speaker 3I don't know how to put this, but I'm kind of a big deal, and Holly hey ding dong, can I go home?
Speaker 2My tum-tum feels gross and also I hate working. She's the worst.
Speaker 1She's the worst person in the world.
Speaker 2Don't ever leave me Ever Good. Goodbye, new. This is getting out of hand.
Speaker 1Good morning. It's 6-11. Some rain around the area. There's some rain off and on again today. Still part of the hurricane Didn't see as much rain as they thought we would yesterday, but there's a chance to make up for it today. Flash flood watch until 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, so there's still going to be a good chance, like right now. There's heavy rainfall moving through DeKalb County Between Fort Payne and Collinsville. If you're traveling I-59, you're going to run through some heavy rain Now. I know you may have run through some rain on the way into work this morning.
Speaker 2Yeah, I did.
Speaker 1Some light rain, nothing really, but for the most part we didn't see a lot of heavy rain here. But boy, the wind was amazing. It was amazing to walk outside and look and think you know, this wind was part of a hurricane that came through the ocean many miles and now here it is, in our neck of the woods.
Speaker 2This is weird.
Speaker 1So as far as wind today, yes, a lot of wind, 10 to 20 mile an hour. Wind gusts. Could be some stronger winds today. There's still that chance of some strong storms later this afternoon. As far as high school football, no games have been canceled, nothing like that. I know they're going to be watching the weather closely. The only option now is to move it to tomorrow. If that happens, that's going to be a mess. But today there's an 80% chance of rain off and on today, Maybe a scattered thunderstorm. A chance of rain off and on today, Maybe a scattered thunderstorm. A chance of strong storms later this afternoon. The best bet is hopefully the lightning, that part of it will stay away from here. That way you can at least get the games in tonight. Just playing in the rain? Yeah, I don't know about you. Do you enjoy playing in the rain when you were little?
Speaker 2No.
Speaker 1No, mm-mm, you never got outside and played in the rain. No, no.
Speaker 2Mayor did. Mayor loved it when she was little. If she was ill, all I had to do was take her outside, put her in her diaper and put her in the rain. She was happy.
Speaker 1She'd play in the rain.
Speaker 2Yeah, she would Harlow. No, she's like me, she's like, ooh no.
Speaker 1Okay, but football, you enjoy playing and doing stuff like that. So there is a chance. A chance, uh, we'll be up. There is a. Didn't mention this. There's four schools who have a delay today. Uh, colman county, jackson county, morgan county and scottsboro city all have a two-hour delay, so they're under a delay. Those are the only ones we have because of the well, because, like, heavy rain is moving through dekalb county right now. We'll have more on the forecast. Uh, don't forget the most listened to high school football scoreboard in the states coming away tonight right here at 9 o'clock All the scores, all the highlights and the naming of the next team of the week. And this past week we've been saluting the Hoax Bluff Eagles, last week's WQSB High School Football Team of the Week. Now time to see what's going on this morning.
Speaker 3How do you know?
Speaker 1Things you need to know. In case you don't know, it's Friday the 13th, uh-oh yeah, we'll talk about that in a second, but first what else is going on today?
Speaker 2Today is National Fortune Cookie Day. I've never had a good fortune cookie Like reading.
Speaker 1No, some of those. I'm confused. I think they've gone downhill over the past few years. Mine's always like imagine how creative you can be. Yeah, you will inherit millions of dollars.
Speaker 2I never had one tell me that. No, I would have kept that one. Yeah, I would have took that to my lawyer.
Speaker 1Well, yeah, some people are actually using those numbers. I know there's like been two in this past year. They've used the numbers they give you on the fortune cookies and they've actually won the lottery Ah, not the big one, but a lottery.
Speaker 2Well, not only is it National Fortune Cookie Day, it is also Scooby-Doo's birthday.
Speaker 1Yes, are you a Scooby-Doo fan?
Speaker 2It's a little before my time.
Speaker 1Really he's still on. There's still new ones out there.
Speaker 2I know, but it was like trendy before me. I guess I like SpongeBob. I watch more of the newer cartoons.
Speaker 1Scooby turns, I think 55 years old today. He's been on for that long.
Speaker 2Yep, and if you're wondering where his name comes from, a CBS TV executive after hearing Frank Sinatra's line Scooby-Dooby-Doo in his hit song Strangers in the Night.
Speaker 1So that's where Scooby-Doo came from.
Speaker 2Yeah, I didn't know. He says Scooby-Dooby-Doo. Oh yeah, he does.
Speaker 1Yeah, he does.
Speaker 2Huh, so I guess they were Frank.
Speaker 1Sinatra fans.
Speaker 2Yeah, so it's in there. Okay. Well, today is Friday the 13th.
Speaker 1Are you superstitious at all?
Speaker 2No, but also this is absolutely Friday the 13th. Yeah, can tell, but here's some superstitions about Friday the 13th. Okay, never change your bed on a Friday 13th as long as it, because it will give you bad dreams.
Speaker 1Bad dreams? I've never heard of that.
Speaker 2Well, I'm not going to change my bed, yeah no, Not because of that especially. Well, I mean, I'm not going to change it anyway.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And then if you start a trip on a Friday, you'll have misfortune. I've never heard this.
Speaker 1No, there's a lot of old superstitions about the number 13 and about Friday the 13th.
Speaker 2Yeah, and then if you cut your nails this is, I'm confused about this one If you cut your nails on a Friday, you cut them for sorrow. That is confusing. I'm not like, oh no, I'm so sad I need to go cut my nails, or?
Speaker 1does that mean, if you cut them, you will be experiencing sorrow?
Speaker 2I don't know. I don't understand, though. Is it saying you cut them for sorrow?
Speaker 1I don't know, these are old wives' tales.
Speaker 2I'm having such a bad day I've got to go cut my nails, yeah.
Speaker 1I've never been. I used to wear number 13 in sports, so I've never really.
Speaker 2I've always liked the number 13.
Speaker 1Yeah, I've never thought of it as a pattern, but there are some hotels that don't even have a 13th floor.
Speaker 2I know I'm putting up a Facebook post. What Superstitions have you Heard About Friday the 13th? And you can weigh in and we'll go over some of those in a bit, okay. And here's something to think about. This says one thing, but I'm going to say something else. I can still remember a time when I knew more than my phone, but you know what I can't really.
Speaker 2It's always had a calculator on it yeah and the game snake yeah, I think what it means is like that you can google anything in the world and you'll find it instantly I've always had that really yeah, so it's always been there well I mean, I mean, as far as I can remember, I wasn't like five and six and needed it wasn't around then, but I wasn't like, oh, I need to Google at six.
Speaker 1Well, you should have followed your head with the old landlines and you couldn't do anything with those except call.
Speaker 2Uh-uh, I had a Barbie one and it talked and took messages and left a recording and all kinds of landline Yep you borrowed your landline. Yep, I had all kinds of different stuff and a clueless. I had a clueless landline phone.
Speaker 1What would it do?
Speaker 2It would ring and say whatever yeah.
Speaker 1That was it. Yeah, that's all All right. 618. Gordon Davis the next thing you know, at 625. Next thing you know, jamie Sinners pops in the building. Everybody, jamie Sinners. I love Jamie.
Speaker 2Yeah, jamie's so sweet. He brought us these really cool bracelets. Yeah that, if you tap your phone on it, it gives you a Bible verse.
Speaker 1It does.
Speaker 2And you get a different Bible verse each day.
Speaker 1I like this.
Speaker 2I love this the only problem is I want more than one.
Speaker 1More than one bracelet or more than one Bible verse More than one bracelet Okay. I love these. Now, what color is yours? Mine's a bunch of blue.
Speaker 2Oh, I got beige.
Speaker 1Mine is.
Speaker 2You want me to read my Bible verse? Sure, okay, but he said to me my grace is sufficient for you and my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that cross power may rest on me. That's 2 Corinthians. I love it and it changes every day. Yeah, it changes every day.
Speaker 1Like mine says, for where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them, matthew 18, 20. Thank you very much, jamie.
Speaker 2Yeah, speaking of gathering, we're going to be gathering Sunday night.
Speaker 1We're hoping the weather is going to be okay. There's still this system, this hurricane, all of it off of it, still hanging around, and we're hoping it'll be out here now the rain is a better chance of rain today, tonight and still tomorrow, and it's hanging around, but Sunday there's still a chance of rain, but hopefully by Sunday night it's going to clear up. Because it's an outdoor event. It's going to be at the Sand Mountain Park and Amphitheater and it's brought to you by Compassion City Church in Albertville and it's a night of fun and fellowship. And bring the kids. There's stuff for the kids. So what else is going on? There's like face painting. There's what bouncy houses.
Speaker 2Yeah, there's all kinds of stuff. They always go all out. The thing about my church at Compassion is they don't do things on a small scale.
Speaker 2They bring the big stuff. So they're going to have inflatables, I inflatables. I'll tell you what is usually there. They usually have little food trucks and they have snow cones and they have face painting and balloon animals. All kinds of neat little stuff. That's going to be from 5 to 6.30. Then at 7, we start a night of worship. I'm so excited we're inviting everybody. We're going to be there, you're going to be there. I'm dragging you along.
Speaker 1No, no, I can't wait to be there. You're not dragging. I'm looking forward to it, because that's going to be a fun night. Hopefully the weather is going to clear off. We're hoping it is. I think it will.
Speaker 2And it's all free. John said it would. Well, oh yeah, completely free.
New Emojis and Postal Trucks
Speaker 1It's at the Sand Mountain Park and Amphitheater. If you need more details on any of that, call us here at QSV. Since you've been gone, since you've been gone and since you've been gone, are you ready for some new emojis? I'm always ready for new emojis. These confuse me. Why these?
Speaker 2Well, let me tell you.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2There's eight ones coming, yeah, and the new ones are a face with bags under the eyes. Tell me why you wouldn't need that one.
Speaker 1Okay, I get that one. I need that. Okay, why do you need a fingerprint?
Speaker 2A human fingerprint.
Speaker 1Why.
Speaker 2I don't know A paint splatter. Why do you need that? I don't know A root vegetable.
Speaker 1It's like a radish, I don't know. I don't find one, so I guess I'll have to wait. A harp. A harp, not a heart, but with a P H-A-R-P.
Speaker 2Yeah, a harp, a shovel.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Because you just need a shovel sometimes and the last one is very confusing. The flag of Sark.
Speaker 1What is that?
Speaker 2S-A-R-K. Did you of?
Speaker 1it Um, hmm, say it.
Speaker 2I'm looking it up and it's an island. It's an island owned by the British Crown Dependency. I don't know what this?
Speaker 1is so. They have their own flag, I don't know and now they're so happy with it. We're now getting an emoji.
Speaker 2Yeah, and actually the flag was made in 2020.
Speaker 1Okay, you know there's a lot of flags already on there. Have you ever once sent somebody a flag emoji, Any flag?
Speaker 2Oh never.
Speaker 1Okay, so this is one of the eight that's not coming out until next year. New emojis for your phone.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2Which one of those would you honestly use the?
Speaker 1that's the only one I would use yeah, I'm definitely gonna use that one the shovel. I don't know why I'd send somebody a shovel. It's kind of like a thread well, not really.
Speaker 2You can see you're gonna bury him I mean, yeah, but maybe when you talk about your exes to your friends, you need to send a shovel.
Speaker 1I don't know with the paint splat with a paint splatter. With a paint splatter. Oh God, oh Lord, oh, no yeah.
Speaker 2You just created a crime scene. Yeah, I don't see, and then the bags under the eyes.
Speaker 1Then the harps is if they're dead.
Speaker 2The harps played at their funeral.
Speaker 1Yeah, then the leafless tree.
Speaker 2They're buried under the leafless tree, the land of Sark.
Speaker 1Yeah, we may have something, we may be onto something here, we just figured it out. That is crazy though we're so smart. So we got people who think of new emojis and these are the eight they come up with. Yeah, these are the eight new ones.
Speaker 2These are the ones that said oh, you know what? These are the ones, these are going through.
Speaker 1We've been working on these for a year.
Speaker 2Here's a big eight right there.
Speaker 1If at 629. Hello folks, we're going over a couple of things we're talking about since you've been gone, and a couple of things we didn't mention. Have you seen the new postal workers trucks or I guess you call them trucks vehicles they're coming out with?
Speaker 2Yeah, I'm looking at them, so what do?
Speaker 1you think there's a big change in the design.
Speaker 2They look like they are a little truck with a big forehead.
Speaker 1You know, that's a good way of putting it.
Speaker 2That's how it looks.
Speaker 1Yeah, it looks like some kind of cartoon or something, but you're right, a giant windshield.
Speaker 2Yeah. So postal workers love the new designs, even though they're uglier. But the vehicles have been on the road since 1987, the one design They've been around forever. Mm-hmm. The new ones are taller. They have air conditioning, airbags, blind spot monitoring and anti-lock brakes All of the things that old vehicles didn't have. That is crazy to me that we live in 2024 and they didn't have airbags.
Speaker 1And air conditioning, and air conditioning Kind of like, I guess, the UPS trucks.
Speaker 2That's so unfair for them.
Speaker 1Yeah, so if you want to see the new trucks, they're supposed to be all on the road sometime next year. They're going to be out there, I guess, nationwide, I don't know.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Then the other one. Here's one for you. How about the Carnival cruise ship that hit an iceberg?
Speaker 2Oh, no yeah while visiting Alaska. Oh no.
Speaker 1Yep, yeah, it makes you think of Titanic. They were visiting Alaska from Seattle, hit a floating chunk of ice and some of the passengers began thinking, oh no, that's what happened to Titanic. But luckily. Luckily, there was no damage to the hull and it safely returned to Seattle this past Tuesday. Good, could you imagine being on that boat?
Speaker 2No, I would automatically think Titanic, and then I would start to decide which door I'm going to float on and who is going to sink at the bottom of the sea Yep, With your family and friends.
Speaker 1You think which one you're going to push on the board? Yeah, which one is going?
Speaker 2And which one is going with me. I don't know. That had to be scary. Yeah, that would be scary.
Speaker 1Another thing if you haven't heard yesterday it's Friday the 13th and we put up on our list. If you have any kind of superstitions you may have heard of things. You know some old wives' tales for Friday the 13th. Comment on there. We've got a few coming in. Eddie Robertson says let's see, let me find it again. Eddie says I've always been told that if you wear your birthstone on Friday the 13th you'd have good luck instead of bad luck.
Speaker 1Oh that's nice. Okay, never heard that one. Christina Sweat, of course. Black cats, they say, are bad luck. I don't think so. The neighbors have one, a panther. He's a beautiful little cat. He's a friendly little cat. He loves the other cats in the neighborhood. He likes to wonder.
Speaker 2Yeah, jessica Lindsay said the same thing. She's got a little black cat and she says kitty is very lucky yes, yes, uh, let's see.
Speaker 1Beth says I had a black cat run in front of my car this morning oh, no beth oh no, beth, go back home and go to bed. Yeah, immediately.
Speaker 2Get in the bed, don't move sonja harrell says just that bad things happen okay yeah, I don't believe in superstitions.
Speaker 1I know some people do. I think there's even a name for people who believe in superstitions. I forget what that's called, but there's even a name for people who believe in superstitions.
Speaker 2I forget what that's called, but there's actually a name.
Speaker 1Lynn Pope says it's bad luck to be superstitious. Oh, uh-huh. Do you have any kind of superstitions? Do you walk under a ladder? Do you think you're going to have bad luck?
Speaker 2I'm not going to walk under a ladder. I say that I'm not superstitious, but then if I break a mirror I'm like great seven years, seven years.
Speaker 1Who decided on the seven years?
Speaker 2I don't know. But then there's things that I don't like. The rabbit's foot I don't want a rabbit's foot. No, it's kind of weird, that's sad.
Speaker 1Make your daughter sad.
Speaker 2Have you ever heard that bad luck or death comes in threes?
Speaker 1Yes, I have.
Speaker 2I have and you know what I've seen a few examples of it.
Speaker 1If you notice, a lot of times when one celebrity passes, sometimes two more within the next few days, it happens. I've seen that.
Speaker 2I know it's weird yeah all right, it's 644.
Speaker 3WQSB mornings with Barry and Holly.
Speaker 1Time now for a pile of stories and one. There's not a whole lot of talk about this, but we saw the trailer back a few weeks ago, the scary movie, and it's from the uh, the guy from the x-men. He's been in quite a few things, but what do you think? Speak, no evil opens up tonight. It looks pretty scary.
Speaker 2I don't want to see it, especially on friday the 13th. It feels like bad vibes yeah.
Speaker 1so james mcavoy is the star in this one and the other one is the killer's gang with Dave Bautista. He's from what Guardians of the Galaxy? He's in this one, so rated R. So neither one getting a lot of press, a lot of talk, but they're both opening up tonight in the theaters. But I do recommend, if you like, the first Beetlejuice hit and miss. Some people love it, some people hate the new one. We saw it.
Speaker 2I thought it was pretty good. I loved it, yeah. So what else is going on? To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the beatles historic arrival in the united states in 1964, the band will rekindle beatlemania by releasing a vinyl box set called the beatles the 1964 us albums in mono. Does that mean?
Speaker 1um, I'm not sure, because I okay, it's a mono, but back in the day it was one or the other.
Speaker 2Oh, that's what I was wondering.
Speaker 1Not sure.
Speaker 2It's going to be released on November 22nd. Seven Beatles albums that were originally released in the US between January 1964 and March 1965 will be included in the box set.
Speaker 1I wonder what the price will be. Oh, there's no telling, it's going to be high.
Speaker 2Expensive, yeah, and Dolly Parton has just launched her new wine collection, dolly Wines she has everything.
Speaker 1Yes, she has food, she has books, she has clothes, she has everything.

Speaker 2Happiness is when you feel good about yourself without feeling the need for anyone else's approval.
Speaker 1I like that a lot. Some people they honestly depend on needing approval before they Well like sports, for instance.
Speaker 2No.
Speaker 1Sometimes, when you're competing in sports and you coach, you'd love to be bragged on. If you don't hear that a bit of approval you think maybe I didn't do it right, maybe I'm not doing a good enough job, and you begin doubting yourself.
Speaker 2What about social media? That? Is the worst Because you post a picture and you don't get so many likes and you think am I not good enough? Am I not pretty enough? Am I not skinny enough? Am I not perfect? Or you post a picture of your kids and they get just a few likes and you worry about that. I think we put so much pressure on ourselves with social media and we cannot let it control us.
Speaker 1We cannot let it control our lives well we put so much pressure on getting approval of others, like you mentioned. I know people who put up a say, a new profile picture likes and comments. They don't get enough likes. I said that picture is not not working, I've got to get a new one.
Speaker 2I know yeah and it makes you question yourself. And nothing on social media should make you question yourself, because everything on social media is fake. Really, when you get down to it like, you'll go look at my profile. I'm the perfect example. You can look at my profile and see nothing but happiness, sunshines and rainbows. You will never know when I'm having a bad day or things are going wrong in my life and you know. We've all got battles that we're battling right now. We all got tough things but, um, I don't want to seek their approval for others.
Speaker 1No, let me give you a piece of advice yeah I learned this when I was young and I've used. I keep forgetting it. But uh, somebody once told me that the only person you need to satisfy is the person looking back you in the mirror. That, whether that's the only person, if you can satisfy that person and make that person happy, don't worry about what other people think about you.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's good Just worry about that person.
Speaker 1you in the mirror, that's. You Make yourself happy. That's what the quote says. All right, 7.15, coming up. Oh, Mrs Currington called Uh-uh. Anytime she calls.
Speaker 2Oh gosh, I know where this is headed.
Speaker 1The chicken truck song is coming up next.
Speaker 2Just for you, Mrs C.
Speaker 3It's on the way, mary and Holly on Alabama's Country, giant WQSB. Come on, man, not yet.
Speaker 1How about some food stories? One spam I've asked you before Are you a fan of spam?
Speaker 2No, no, I don't mean like the spam on the on your internet or on there, but the actual spam in a can. I don't like anything that comes in processed meat form that has jelly on top of it in a can yeah, now, my daddy used to love it.
Speaker 1Get some crackers. He loves to tell me well, there's a new flavor coming out. They've been teasing this one. Now it's coming out. You may know how to pronounce this I do okay, how do you say?
Speaker 1it Gochujang, Gochujang. Didn't we have some chips like this a few months ago we did. Well, now the Korean-inspired flavor is available exclusively at Costco in an eight-pack. I think one pack would be plenty, but now, like Costco and Sam's, you've got to buy it in an eight-pack. Now I looked it up. Now the flavors. So have you ever had the Gochujang?
Speaker 2No, I just looked it up and it says let's see is it spicy? It is milder than sriracha.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 2So it's spicy, but it's not too spicy.
Speaker 1Gotcha. So it's kind of like a barbecue type taste. So it's now available Again. You have to go to Costco to get it. Now the other one I know that you may be a fan of this. Now, you love bagels.
Speaker 2Yeah, okay. So I'm going to be thrown for a loop here because I don't know how this would taste. I love bagels and cream cheese, but I don't know if I want it in my coffee. There's a Coffee Mate, bagel and Cream Cheese, coffee Creamer.
Speaker 1I bet it would be strong, don't you? I'm not a fan of bagels, but I bet that would be strong.
Speaker 2I'm big time. Are you a fan of cream cheese?

Speaker 1Mornings. Come on, man. What about sneezing? Let me ask you this Now some people, when they sneeze, you can hear them like a block away. They really get into their sneeze and they make sure you know it. What about you? You're a little silent, baby, sneeze a little. Like a little pew, are you one of those?
Speaker 2No, what kind of sneezer are you? I'm a hauteuil Like one of those. No, you're not Like the hauteuil girl. Okay.
Speaker 1Have you ever With sneeze form? No, I hope not Just in sneeze form. Have you ever injured yourself while sneezing?
Speaker 2No, I don't think so.
Speaker 1Well, it happened in England. A soccer player has been ruled out of a and his coach called it a pretty hefty sneeze. According to the head coach, the guy Victor Victor, something, another, something another, who plays for the Bolton Wanderers, had to set out of the game because he hurt his back before the game, because his sneeze was so strong so violent hurt his back. What yeah?
Speaker 2It can do that.
Speaker 1They say it can happen. The coach says he's a powerful boy and even his sneezes are powerful. He felt a bit of a crack in between his ribs and they're hopeful that the cartilage injury will heal quickly and he can get back on the field soon.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1So he was out for one game, possibly more, because of a violent sneeze.
Speaker 2Okay, okay, okay. So what are?
Speaker 3Hey man, what's going?
Speaker 2on. Why aren't you dressed out?
Speaker 1I just had a sneeze, yeah Did you hurt your ankle, did you break your finger, or what? No, no, I just sneezed really hard, nope.
Speaker 2Hey Mom, I can't play football next week.
Speaker 1I had a mishap, I sneezed, oh no, oh yeah, weird injuries. I know sometimes if you ever woke up and had like a crick in your neck, oh yeah, when you did nothing that you know of during the night and you wake up and this is there.
Speaker 2Man, that's the worst. Yeah, I hate that.
Speaker 1Then you feel like, boy, I'm really going downhill quick. So now I've got a crick in my neck, I'm injured and I didn't do anything but go to sleep. I know I got sleep like that feels like betrayal. You know that's about the time you heal and feel better. But at this point I heard yourself with a sneeze, oh man I've seen some who really get into it. So I'm, you know, I'm gonna warn them. Hey, buddy, you know you may have pulled something.
Speaker 2You don't even know it yet yeah, I think that, uh, that would probably want to be be one of the most, uh, embarrassing injuries that you can have, because, like, how manly is that? I hurt myself sneezing?
Speaker 1Yeah, could you imagine on, like I say, nfl game coming on the pregame show. They're saying, well, so-and-so is out today. What happened? Well, he sneezed too hard.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Unable to perform. He's on the injured list.
Speaker 2What would you say? I guess I'd just be like, be like, oh, I'd make something else up, okay yeah, I'd be like I have diarrhea oh no, is that better?
Speaker 1well, who wants you out there if you got that? Certainly the center don't. Yeah, oh, that's true.
Speaker 3Yeah, it's 7, 41 mornings with barry and holly here on alabama's country giant wqsb.
Speaker 1rachel chime in on this one. Okay, it's like a crime story. I know you like these stories. You listen to the podcast.
Speaker 2I love true crime.
Speaker 1It's a true crime story, mm-hmm. Okay, the police force in the UK. They said they're not treating the death of a patient in the hospital as suspicious. Now see if you'd consider this death as suspicious, you ready, mm-hmm? The man was found dead in the hospital, which is not suspicious, but he was found dead inside an oven. What?
Speaker 2He's in the kitchen. What?
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2In the kitchen.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's the catering parts where they do the cooking In the hospital, in the hospital, in the oven. Like the cafeteria. Yeah, he was in the oven.
Speaker 2Wait a minute.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2How is that not suspicious?
Speaker 1They're saying it's not suspicious. The hospital said staff are working with the police. Police said it was called to the sudden death of the man at the hospital. They said we are not treating this death as suspicious and will not be preparing I will be preparing a report soon for the coroner and but we think it's just. It just happened. What about an autopsy? Yeah, that's going to happen, but the fact that he's inside an oven, is that not suspicious at all?
Speaker 2I mean, do they suspect? I mean I know there's no suspicions, but are they thinking that he unalived? Was he trying to do this on purpose? Or maybe he knew he was dying? And I mean maybe, yeah, you know how animals do that. Yeah, they do, hence barry's cat.
Speaker 1But why would you get in the oven? If you think, okay, I'm feeling really bad, I may not make it, I'm going to go get in the oven. It's not funny? No, it's not. But why would the police not treat this as suspicious?
Speaker 2I'm laughing because I just it's so awkward and why would you not call it suspicious? I'm mind blown. Okay, so they're going to prepare a report for the coroner. I want to know what the follow-up on this is and his cause of death. Yeah, we need to follow this story. Yeah, I want to know more.
Speaker 1This is bizarre, that you would not even investigate this as a like. Maybe somebody put him in there.
Speaker 2Yeah, see, if I was that man's family, I'd be so mad.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2And I would demand demand like a Explanation yeah, explanation, yeah, I don't know what's going on with this.
Crime Stories and Taste Testing
Speaker 1Reminds me of a story. A few years ago we had a crime story. It was one of the weirdest ones. A guy died from a. He was hit in the back of the head with a Blunt, with a machete. Oh, but the headline read man dies due to hit with machete. If suicide has not been ruled out, back the head. The headline said, suicide has not been ruled out. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2I'm stumped, I don't have any words.
Speaker 1I was too. That's one of the weirdest stories I've ever seen that is weird.
Speaker 2Yeah, there's no way he could do it himself. No, I wouldn't think so. No, no, but hey, I was looking on um facebook as we were scrolling and do y'all remember the jailer, uh, vicky white, that ran off with the? Uh, yeah, and then they found him and they were both.
Speaker 1Yeah, well, she was, yeah, she was, yeah what?
Speaker 2happened to him. I thought he was too.
Speaker 1I thought he was arrested.
Speaker 2Oh, okay. Anyway, they're going to make a Netflix documentary on this. Yeah, alcom just shared it. Wow, they are making a Netflix documentary on this with V guy. I cannot wait to see this.
Speaker 1The other guy Whatever his name was. That was a sad story.
Speaker 2Yeah, it was. It was a tragedy.
Speaker 1Don't go far away, rachel. We've got some taste tests coming up in a few minutes, at 7.55.
Speaker 3On Alabama's Country, Giant WQSB.
Speaker 1Time for a taste test. We have a drink this time.
Speaker 2I left the bottle over there. Will you hand it to me? Okay, hand me the bottle, pass the bottle.
Speaker 1Rachel. Now, where did you get this from, Rachel?
Speaker 2Circle K Circle.
Speaker 1K and Boaz.
Speaker 2Yeah, shout out to Stacy. Yeah, we love her.
Speaker 1They hook us up all the time. Yeah, they do. Thank you very much.
Speaker 2Yeah, so at Circle K and Boaz and Boaz and Boaz, stop by and see Stacy and them and tell them thank you for all the taste tests. But today we're trying Coca-Cola zero sugar Oreo flavor.
Speaker 1That's weird. Okay, oreos have a lot of sugar, so this is zero sugar. I know, well, I was. That's weird.
Speaker 2I was pouring this and I thought I'm not going to like this because I only drink diet drinks.
Speaker 3Yes.
Speaker 2Like that's my whole life, Even as, like a toddler, Mom put Diet Coke in my bottle Okay, In your bottle, yeah, In my sippy cup. No, she didn't. But I only like diet drinks and I thought I won't like this, but I'll go ahead and try it. But then I saw zero sugar and I thought, hmm, maybe, Maybe. I'm like, hmm, maybe.
Speaker 1Okay. So how does an Oreo fit in here? Because Oreo has a lot of sugar.
Speaker 2Okay, I don't know, but Stacy sent us a message this morning. They have this Oreo-flavored Coke and then they also have Coke-flavored Oreos.
Speaker 1Oh, the old switcheroo, the old reverse. So Oreos that taste like Coke.
Speaker 2Now, this is Coke that tastes like Oreos. Right, this is Coke that tastes like Oreos Coca-Cola I would have never thought to put those two together. I know Me neither.
Speaker 1I know All right here we go Sip. You slurp.
Speaker 2Ew, ew.
Speaker 1Tastes like a very, very, very flat drink. It does taste flat. That's had the lid off of it for about a week.
Speaker 2I think it's because there's no sugar in it. Oh God.
Speaker 1It's been under your car seat rolling around.
Speaker 2I taste the Oreo, though, Do y'all not yeah?
Speaker 1I do now. But this is that flat taste.
Speaker 2It's like the back end of it yeah, yeah, yeah. The back end of it yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not good.
Speaker 1No, Nope, no, I love Oreos, I love Cokes, but not together, not especially zero sugar.
Speaker 2All right, zero out of ten. Yep, zero out of ten.
Speaker 1It's not one out of zero. I'm sorry, sorry, nothing against you there.
Speaker 2But we'll still try the Oreos.
Speaker 1Yes, we will.
Speaker 2Not the Coke.
Speaker 1Sorry, that's not good.
Speaker 2Yeah, we cannot endorse the product that we do not enjoy.
Speaker 3And we do not enjoy. This.
Speaker 2Coca-Cola with Oreo flavoring. Well, it tastes flat. Yes, just don't do it. Don't buy it, save your money.
Speaker 1Now we'll have one of these free donuts somebody just brought in.
Speaker 2Oh no, I'll take one of those All right $8.15.
Speaker 3W.
Speaker 1Morning's crime story. This okay be like maybe somebody breaking into a church and stealing their preacher's Bible. British policing prime minister, dame Diana Johnson kind of like the police chief, I guess, something like that. She was giving a speech on theft when someone stole her purse. On theft. Wow, yes, she was giving a speech on theft. She was attending a conference for senior police officers in a hotel on Tuesday when someone stole her purse. And there she is up there talking about ways to prevent crime, things about crime, and next thing she knows she gets ready to leave and her purse is gone.
Speaker 1Oh, okay 56-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of burglary. He stole her purse. That's a brave man, because he's apparently in there with a lot of policemen.
Speaker 2Yeah, it is, but here's my question about it If she's given a speech on theft, shouldn't she know where not to leave her?
Speaker 1purse. Ah-ha. Now it makes you wonder about all the tips she was giving you. Are these good tips?
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Because she didn't even know where not to put her purse.
Speaker 2Well, I mean, that's what I'm saying. You can't be like ladies and gentlemen. Don't put your purses down at the end of the stage where mine is, with $100 in the billfold.
Speaker 1You know I mean, but the guy, how brave is this guy? Because it's a conference, you would think there's other policemen there taking. You know learning.
Speaker 2Yeah, learning what to do. I mean, did nobody see this guy?
Speaker 1I don't know.
Speaker 2Oh.
Speaker 1So the guy, I guess he just wandered in the hotel, Of all the hotels in the world, to pick. He picked the one where they have a police conference. Oh conference, oh lord, he stole someone's purse well and he happened to choose. Still like the police prime minister in england they had they had honcho here I didn't know.
Speaker 2They had a police prime minister.
Speaker 1I didn't either that's a fancy title that's very fancy she may get demoted because someone sold her purse well, she may get a promotion.
Speaker 2I don't know, because look at the say. Here we are in albertville, alabama, telling her story, sure.
Speaker 1Didn't they give the guy who called him a promotion? Don't know? Yeah, way to go, day 28.
Speaker 3Mornings with Barry and Hall here on Alabama's country giant WQSB.
Possums and Drug Bust
Speaker 1Had this one yesterday. A lot of comments on this one Makes me think of Sand Mountain Sam here, but I don't know what they were thinking here. But you know they've got all those wildfires in California. Well, there was a bizarre arrest earlier this week in one of the fire evacuation warning zones. They were under evacuation and then the police spotted deputies, found two people in possession in their vehicle, with possession of drugs and possums in the vehicle.
Speaker 2Oh, together, live At the same time?
Speaker 1Yes, and possums in the vehicle. Oh, together Live At the same time. Yes, live possums. The deputies say the vehicle was illegally parked within the evacuation zone. They went over basically to tell them to get out. You've got to get out of here. Inside the vehicle. That's when they noticed Vincent and Melissa were acting strangely and as they looked into the vehicle, they found a fentanyl drug paraphernalia no, yes, and. And as they looked into the vehicle, they found fentanyl drug paraphernalia no, yes, and they also found other items, including several doesn't say how many, several wild possums that they grabbed from the wilderness and thought, hey, we'll just take them with us.
Speaker 2It's not funny because it's fentanyl?
Speaker 1No, it is Horrible. Why the possums? Maybe you're trying to help them not die, but they just do wild possums in the vehicle.
Speaker 2I mean when you're on drugs, though, especially fentanyl, yeah.
Speaker 1Nothing makes sense.
Speaker 2Nothing makes sense, so I don't know.
Speaker 1What'd they do with the possums? The police, they took them to a location and released them safely down away from the fire zone. Good, so at least the possums are going. Whew, apparently missed that one. Like we got us a ride here. Yeah, so we're not going to go jail with them but, possums in the vehicle. I would not think that possums would be very happy, but then again, maybe they enjoyed it I mean they might have been like up for the ride.
Speaker 2Who knows, chandler has a possum that oh, I'm not supposed to say, oh, she does, no, she does no she doesn't? It visits from time to time.
