Speaker 1:It was a crazy weekend. Friday night, high school football it was a mess. A lot of games were delayed. Some games didn't finish until after midnight.
Speaker 2:Saturday morning.
Speaker 1:Yeah, after midnight, because of the mess, the rain, the storms, we were at the Albertville-Sparkman game. It just kind of rained off and on the entire game. You were at the Douglas game, just a little drizzle.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just a little drizzle. It wasn't that bad though. I wore a rain jacket with a hood and I only had to put the hood up like a couple times, but it's just drizzly.

So a lot of things to get to today. How do you know? And there's other things, things you need to know. We're halfway through another month. I'm noticing it's staying dark longer in the mornings.
Speaker 2:It is yeah, which makes it kind of weird, because we're working in the dark.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so the kids catching the buses. You're going to be possibly getting on a bus in the dark, so be careful. And I've noticed in the afternoons, slowly but surely, we're losing about a minute or so of daylight every day.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That saddens me.
Speaker 2:Yeah. I know it's coming every day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that saddens me. Yeah, I know it's coming.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because that means we're just about over a month away from time changing and the trees are turning. It's time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I love fall, because fall officially starts this weekend. So what else is going on today?
Speaker 2:So today is National Play-Doh Day.
Speaker 1:Love Play-Doh, Did you? I loved Play-Doh and Silly Putty when I was growing up. Those are my two Now. Back in the day, you only had certain things you could play with. You don't have all the stuff you kids have today. Kids are so lucky.
Speaker 2:What did you do with Play-Doh Did?
Speaker 1:you mold stuff, you build stuff, make stuff with it. Now, silly Putty was the one that you could put on like a piece of paper and it would print. That just amazed me. Yeah, that was neat, of course. Being me, I had to taste it, did you, both of them? You never tasted, silly.
Speaker 2:Putty or.
Speaker 1:Play-Doh. No, well, looking at it, I was always wondering because you got all the colors. I wonder if the red tastes similar to the green or the yellow. It does, it does.
Speaker 2:You're like the Willy Wonka part when they're like the snozzberries taste like snozzberries. Exactly, you know when they're licking the wallpaper. You know when they're licking the wallpaper.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's you. So Play-Doh had like just a weird taste, but I do not try this at home, kids.
Speaker 3:No.
Speaker 1:Trust me, it's not worth eating. You shouldn't eat it.
Speaker 2:It's probably going to mess your stomach up. No, but it smells so good it does.
Speaker 1:Do you ever play Play-Doh?
Speaker 2:I was never good at Play-Doh. No, allowed at my house when I was little and then when I turned into an adult, I don't know what to do with it.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I had a friend who got mad because Play-Doh came over to play and I got the yellow mixed up with the red.
Speaker 2:Oh, you can't mix the colors.
Speaker 1:No, I didn't know. Oh, he had to come apart.
Speaker 2:No, you can't mix colors.
Speaker 1:They called Mama to come get him. You thought I'd slap him in the face.
Speaker 2:Do you know that originally Play-Doh was invented as wallpaper cleaner?
Speaker 1:I did not know that.
Speaker 2:Yep, it sure was. In 1955, a school teacher encouraged the inventors to market the product as an arts and crafts item for her school kids to make things from the Play-Doh.
Speaker 1:So what you're telling off here is that it was popular for a little bit of time. But the name of this item let me get this it's called Kutol wall cleaner. K-u-t-o-l. Kutol wall cleaner. That's tough to even make.
Speaker 2:That even sound exciting that's not near as fun as play-doh no.
Speaker 1:So then when they decided to begin marketing as an arts and craft type thing, they said let's call it play-doh much better name I mean yeah, and Jell-O furniture might be the new furniture of the future. Have you seen the picture?
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you know what? This is not of the future, because we had these in the 90s.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, I had an inflatable chair in the 90s. Really yes, Absolutely so. American brand Jell-O has released four brightly colored inflatable chairs. They're going to be in red, orange, yellow and green. The plastic chair shape resembles the mold that was used to create jello bunk cakes.
Speaker 1:How about that? They really do look like jello.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:They're shiny, very bright and shiny.
Speaker 2:And it even has a small cup holder for a jello snack or a cup.
Speaker 1:That is a great idea.
Speaker 2:Yep. The series is a series of inflatable rounded units that represent the rounded peaks and valleys of a cake and they wrap around a central seat in different heights and forms to form armrests and backrests.
Speaker 1:So you had something similar to this, yeah.
Speaker 2:I had an inflatable Huh, but mine had those little foam, styrofoam balls in them.
Speaker 1:Oh, like beanbags.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was like a beanbag but it was an inflatable chair.
Speaker 1:I've never seen that.
Speaker 2:We've already done this inflatable chair thing.
Speaker 1:I didn't know this.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, Jello, We've been there.
Speaker 1:Is it easy to bust or?
Speaker 2:puncture, no, but it seemed like it would deflate easily. Oh yeah, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know if I might have had a hole in mine I don't know scissors, knowing you probably yeah yep, here's the deep talk okay so say you're at a nudist colony okay, probably not gonna happen, but I'll say oh well, just say.
Speaker 1:Just say you are there because you wear glasses yeah I wear glasses.
Speaker 2:If you were at a nudist colony, how do you clean your glasses?
Speaker 1:you don't use a shirt yeah, cause that's what I do now. I use my shirt until I can get the official glass cleaner rag?
Speaker 2:well, I don't know what you would do if you were at a nudist colony?
Speaker 1:I don't know what would you use. Wouldn't use somebody's hair.
Speaker 2:Be kind of rude when you said we're going to use somebody's. I didn't know where you were headed with that.
Speaker 1:Well, you have long hair. I do have long hair. Excuse me, can I borrow your hair to clean my glasses?
Speaker 2:I think it would scratch them.
Speaker 1:You'd say, I thought you'd never ask.
Speaker 2:I'd probably say no, that's really weird, but also it's mind. If I'm at a news call that's not going to happen. No, it's 618.
Speaker 4:Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's country giant WQSB, Since you've been gone.
Speaker 1:Since you've been gone. Well, since you've been gone. Since we talked on Friday, the hurricane you think has already come and gone, but it actually hasn't. There's some leftover rain and some wind still here with us today. Can you believe that?
Speaker 2:My goodness Should be gone soon.
Speaker 1:Okay, good, but at one point they were showing, there were four new disturbances they were watching. So what's the latest on that?
Speaker 2:So the National Hurricane Center is tracking two separate disturbances in the Atlantic Ocean. To start the week, a potential tropical cyclone off the coast of Carolinas served as the most recent threat to US citizens, but the storm with the storm about 125 miles east of Charleston, south Carolina. So the storm is expected to bring heavy winds, strong surge, storm surge. I can't read, barry. I can't read this.
Speaker 1:Your tongue is under a tropical depression Warning.
Speaker 2:I can't get it out and up to 8 inches of rain in the Carolinas, along with the threat of coarse tornadoes.
Speaker 1:For us they're showing the rain's going to come close to us when it comes to shore but it's going to get to about. Georgia, then it's going to start veering back to the north so that will not affect us at all. But if you have family and friends in the Carolinas, they're going to see a lot of rain and storm surge off of that over the next couple of weeks. Well, Tropical Depression Gordon is further out in the Atlantic no-transcript, then other ones are going to come up and come to land Spaghetti model.
Speaker 1:Well, it's what they call them. They have all these different little prediction computers that make predictions of where it's going to go, some towards west of Florida or east of Florida. Then there's some show that's going to go turn north and just go out in the ocean again.
Speaker 2:Oh, those old spaghetti models.
Speaker 1:You never know.
Speaker 3:You never know about those no you don't?
Speaker 2:Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur says that he's caught off guard by Malik Willis' explanation of a third down from the team's 16-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 1:I don't think I've ever heard of this before happening in a game. All right, listen.
Speaker 2:The coach LaFleur was curious while Willis tried to run for the first down on a third and ten play instead of throwing the ball, like they called.
Speaker 1:But Willis ran the ball, look at you Don't have this football info like you're at Wow, I know what I'm doing, I'm impressed.
Speaker 2:See, I can read.
Speaker 1:I know better about football than I do tropical storms, because you know what you're talking about, I'm impressed.
Speaker 2:Yep Willis revealed his decision was because of the center, josh Myers. He said I asked Malik why he didn't throw the ball on that third down and he told me that Josh threw up on the ball. Myers said he did in fact throw up before the snap. He said that after the game he felt like something was caught in his throat and it caused him to vomit on the football.
Speaker 1:So he threw up on the football and then snapped it to the quarterback.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then the quarterback said throw it vomit.
Speaker 1:So he just tucked it and holding a vomited on football.
Speaker 2:Did it say, if he?
Speaker 1:got a first down. It didn't say if he got the. I don't think he got the first down. That's why the coach is kind of asking what happened. They went on to win the game though.
Speaker 3:So at least they didn't lose.
Speaker 1:The center threw up on the football and snapped the vomit-covered football to the quarterback.
Speaker 2:What would you say?
Speaker 1:Sorry, what would you say I'd call a timeout?
Speaker 2:I mean there's no time to warn him.
Speaker 1:Like hey guys, I'm about to snap you this vomit ball, vomit balls, because, as he leaned over, he just threw up on it oh man, that would be so horrible.
Speaker 2:Yes, it has happened to me. No, yes, I've been laying in bed and felt like I've had something stuck in my throat and it's like bleh.
Speaker 1:But laying down, because you said you played softball, I was wondering if anything like that ever happened to you in sports.
Speaker 2:Something worse happened to me in sports, but I can never speak of it.
Speaker 1:Oh, I can never speak of it okay it, it's awful it's.
Speaker 2:It was the most embarrassing thing ever.
Speaker 1:We won't go there, then I'll tell y'all fair. I can tell you one that happened not to me, but another player, probably basketball is this one that happened to you no, no, no, no, no. This one not me at this time. It wasn't me, okay what happened? There was a guy from the other team that messed his pants, mm-mm. Yeah, number two yeah, during the game.
Speaker 2:Why.
Speaker 1:Coach called Tom out and there was a guy. He was. I was supposed to be guarding him. Nope, guy scored and Coach, why didn't you guard him? I said he missed his pants. I said you go guard him. Ew, he said, how do you know? I said he's got white shorts on. There you go.
Speaker 2:Oh no, do you think it was a mistrusted toot, or do you think it was a full-on poop? Which one? A mistrusted toot? A mistrusted toot, never trust one of those.
Speaker 1:No, you can never trust a toot. No, they'll turn on you.
Speaker 2:No, they'll turn on you in a minute. I don't know I didn't bother to ask, you didn't ask yeah, I didn't care, yeah, you just knew not to go near him.
Speaker 1:Anyway, he went out, went to the locker room, came back brand new, brand new white pair of shorts, but the memory's still there, man. When she messed him in a game one time. You're always known as the shorts messer and the person the short shooter.
Speaker 5:That's right, the shorts person.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the short shooter.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 4:That's it 6.33. Mary and Holly on Alabama's Country. Giant, wqsb, you can't be serious.
Speaker 1:I am serious and don't call me Shirley, totally serious. I've never heard this before, but you know, marriages they break up, unfortunately, and you wonder sometimes okay, what about, say, the pets in a marriage? Mm-hmm, what happens to the pets? Who has the legal right over the pets? One of the big things now, according to a story, is some places, us, and they say even in Spain, spain, it's a big thing to have prenuptials that include your pets before you get married. Oh, to make it clear that if something happens, you get fluffy, you get Fido, you get whoever Doug, doug, doug, your dog, so what about you? So what happened to the fur baby after a breakup? If Doug is involved in this, you're going to make it loud and clear.
Speaker 2:He goes with me.
Speaker 1:Gotcha.
Speaker 2:He goes with me. Now, here's the thing I would go into a relationship with Doug, okay, so he would be mine going into a relationship, sure.
Speaker 5:You know, Sure.
Speaker 2:And so what if you got one? If you were already in a relationship or married, I understand who's when. If you were already in a relationship or married, I understand who's going to split time with the dogs. Did you know that in Spain, pets are classified as sentient beings and partners can share custody, just like parents share custody of human children?
Speaker 1:Wow, in Spain they do that. So it means like say, somebody may have them one week, the other person the next Yep, or you may get every other weekend, or something.
Speaker 2:That is weird. It is weird. It is weird and I would hate to have to meet up with my ex and exchange my dog. Yeah, because you have to like see him face to face. Yeah, and a dog to me, he is just like one of my children, and I hate to say that because it sounds so, um, I don't know what it sounds like, it sounds bad, but I love my kids more than anything in this world. Yeah, I have two of them, sure, two little girls Angels, my dog, then there's Doug. Then there's Doug, the only boy I'll ever have. Yeah, and I love him so much.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:He gets new treats. He got new filet mignon treats.
Speaker 1:You're telling me that you can say the word treat, and he knows what you're saying, he knows what the word is.
Speaker 2:Not only that, I can spell it out. Oh yeah, I can say do you want a T-R-E-A-T? And he goes nuts.
Speaker 1:That is smart.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that is smart, but I would definitely. Here's the thing with prenups you don't go into a marriage with intentions of divorce.
Speaker 1:Never, I would hope not.
Speaker 2:You'd hope not.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So if you're not going to do a regular prenup, is it still safe to do the fur prenup?
Speaker 1:The fur prenup you know, I think you've got to be safe.
Speaker 2:You know why they have to do this.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:To make sure that there's no rough business.
Speaker 1:Rough business. Yeah Well, let me tell you. Don't judge me on this, but here's my thought. Okay Say, you do, something happens and you get one of these custody things where you get the pet every other week.
Speaker 2:The fur prenup.
Speaker 1:Yeah, here's what I would do. The fur prenup yeah, here's what I would do. I would find someone to help me train my dog so that, when it does go to her the next week, you've trained it how to pee on her leg.
Speaker 2:I would want that I think that's probably in some form illegal. No, no, I'm not sure which angle it would come out.
Speaker 1:He's not biting her. He's not harming the skin, not breaking the skin.
Speaker 2:I would also have in my prenup no shenanigans being taught to the dog. You would need that yeah.
Speaker 1:Because I can see the next week you go to pick it up, she goes how was Fluffy? Fluffy was talking. Here's the weirdest thing Last two times I've picked Fluffy up he's peed on my leg Out of the blue. Yeah, I say the word whatever.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:If I say your name just out of the blue. But he walks over and hikes his leg.
Speaker 2:Just teach Doug how to chew shoes up Like here.
Speaker 1:Doug, here's your shoe buddy. Teach him how to poop in shoes.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, oh man, yeah, that would be the worst. That would be the worst.
Speaker 1:Wouldn't it yes? Especially in the summertime, when you've had cats. Yes, Really, we had one. It was so it was. I thought it was a genius it would find the weirdest places to poop.
Speaker 2:Like what.
Speaker 1:On the couch, first of all Right, where I said no, no, like was it your cat. Yeah.
Speaker 2:As an adult.
Speaker 1:Like you, tried to dress it up for Christmas pictures.
Speaker 2:It didn't. No, I would poop in your shoes too. Well, you did, well I would.
Speaker 3:Did you step in it?
Speaker 1:No, I went and pooped in his litter box. Show him, it's 648.
Speaker 4:WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly.
Speaker 1:Things going on Beetlejuice Beetlejuice we had a chance to see it last week. I thought it was good. Yeah, I don't think it was good as the first, but it was still good and it had another big weekend at the box office.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the reviews are mixed on this. Yeah, but it stayed number one at the box office for the second weekend, raking in $51 million, wow. So it's approaching the $200 million mark. I would say it's a hit too, I mark. I would say it's a hit. I liked it.
Speaker 1:It was original, it was very cute.
Speaker 2:If you go into it expecting Beetlejuice, type humor.
Speaker 1:It wasn't the same as the first. It was a different kind of humor. It was different.
Speaker 2:Number two was Speak no Evil with 11 million.
Speaker 1:That looks creepy. I know it's getting good reviews.
Speaker 2:Speak no Evil and the little boy's tongue is cut off. Number three Deadpool and Wolverine still coming in strong. With $5 million, it has a total worldwide of $1.3 billion.
Speaker 1:That is amazing, that's crazy. Biggest movie of the year.
Speaker 2:The Primetime Emmy Awards were held last night, honoring television's biggest stars. Did you watch?
Speaker 1:Did not see any of it. I just don't watch as much TV as I used to. I don't either.
Speaker 2:I was at, well, we were both at Compassion.
Speaker 1:And I haven't seen any of these shows we're talking about.
Speaker 2:So I've seen one of them. Hacks shocked the crowd by winning Best Outstanding Comedy over the Bear.
Speaker 1:I've seen the Bear.
Speaker 2:I haven't seen either one of those. Nonetheless, the Bear broke its own previous record of 10 comedy wins for a single season by picking up 11 last night, and the award for Outstanding Drama Series went to Shogun.
Speaker 1:I want to see that. That looks good.
Speaker 2:I've never seen that.
Speaker 1:I haven't either. It looks very good though.
Speaker 2:And Netflix I'm so excited about this is in discussion to bring the popular YouTube show Hot Ones to the platform in a live format. Have you ever watched Hot?
Speaker 1:Ones yes, and I love it, I think we need to do that here.
Speaker 2:Yes, so what it is is it's a set of wings that are naked, and then you start off with the lowest level of heat and then gradually build yourself up until it's scorching hot like ghost pepper hot.
Speaker 1:You're being interviewed with questions as you eat the wings.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:And they have celebrities on there. Some of those seem like Jennifer Lawrence's is one of the funniest ones.
Speaker 2:They get to where they can't talk.
Speaker 1:No, and they're crying.
Speaker 2:I know we need to do that we need to do that. It's hosted by Sean Evans and he answers questions or celebrities answers questions while eating and the spicy wings just get spicier. But I love it because they'll try to be so serious. He'll be like what's the favorite role you've ever played and why?

Speaker 3:Get in my belly, come on, it's peanut butter jelly time.
Speaker 1:Peanut butter, jelly time and checking out our food story, some new foods. Krispy Kreme has something new, but it's not here. It's in the Philippines. It's the new churro donuts.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:Yes, it gives you that classic churro taste. But here's the odd thing it's not like a complete circle, like a donut, it's like a giant C. Oh for dipping. For dipping purposes, yes, it's covered in cinnamon sugar, cinnamon sugar blend, and instead of having the hoop, it's this giant C. They even give you some different sauces you can dip in. What is it? It looks like one is maybe caramel, yeah, one is chocolate. One is probably cream cheese. I bet you're right. So if you want to see the photo hopefully they're going to be in the US sometime in the near future- yeah, those sound good.
Speaker 2:Yep. Well, here's what's going on in South Africa K churro popcorn as part of the limited time menu. It's a waffle cone that's filled with churro pieces and then it has liquid chocolate poured over the top and inside.
Speaker 1:Like a cone full of sugar. Yeah, it's just like a churro cone. But not here. You say well, they're wearing something. Come on, man.
Speaker 2:I know, but here's something you can get. Here's something it's like a hack. You know how they have secret menus at restaurants.
Speaker 5:Yes, right.
Speaker 2:So if you like the Chick-fil-A banana pudding milkshake, ask for the chocolate syrup and turn it into a chocolate-covered banana milkshake. So I guess, it's not on the menu. It's not on the menu Ask. You can't order it through the app either, but if you ask at the Chick-fil-A restaurant, you can add Hershey's chocolate to the banana pudding shake and it turns itself into chocolate-covered banana milkshake.
Speaker 1:That sounds delicious, so check it out on our Facebook page at 727.
Speaker 4:WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly Come on man Mornings.
Speaker 1:Come on man story. Guess which state this takes place in?
Speaker 2:Florida.
Speaker 1:You are correct. Earlier this month, police found a squirrel in a Florida man's shirt during a traffic stop.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 1:He's 23-year-old, derek Foreman. He was pulled over for erratic driving. People were calling the police. Hey, there's a guy going down the road and he's all over the place. Well, if he's drinking, don't know what he's doing. Well, come to find out. He was given a breathalyzer and, yes, he was drinking. But that doesn't explain, and he couldn't explain why he had a real live squirrel in his shirt.
Speaker 2:Did he know that there was a squirrel in his shirt when they pulled him?
Speaker 1:over his quote was the squirrel was eating me. That's why I was swerving.
Speaker 2:Then take it out of your shirt, man, take it out.
Speaker 1:It. By the way, the squirrel was unharmed and released. Okay, good.
Speaker 2:But the poor squirrel, I guess it's far away from its home now. Maybe he was trying to find some milk. Maybe it's a little tiny baby.
Speaker 1:I don't know, but why? If you've got a squirrel, it's in the car is bad enough, because it could easily jump up and scratch you, bite you, but to put it in your shirt?
Speaker 2:I mean, it's better than putting it in your pocket.
Speaker 1:Oh, but you're going to say pants.
Speaker 2:Well, it's definitely better than putting it in your pants, you are correct. Yeah.
Speaker 1:That's not going to end well for anybody if that happens.
Speaker 2:No, nobody needs a squirrel in their pants.
Speaker 1:No, they don't. It's like the old saying what is like a bird in the bush, it's worth two and a I don't know Something. So what is the new phrase?
Speaker 2:I don't know what does that mean? A bird in the bush Is that what it says a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush? I don't know.
Speaker 1:Look it up. Somebody message me. Look it up, it's a bird somewhere.
Speaker 2:Yeah, somewhere.
Speaker 1:It's worth something. It's worth something. But it's not as good as a A squirrel in the shirt is worth one DUI, because that's what he got. That's what the policeman he pulled him over walks up to the window and looks and there's something moving around For sure.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:He thought he'd like to see, like aliens, one of those come bursting out of his stomach.
Speaker 2:Nope, just a squirrel.
Speaker 1:Just a squirrel. That poor squirrel probably poked his head and said man, I'm so glad you're here, yeah. I've been waiting for somebody to intervene. That guy used no deodorant in there. He had no treats, no treats, nothing to find. It's 741.

Charcuterie, charcuterie, cuterie, oh, charcuterie. Okay, I had to look up the meaning of this okay it's a french term that refers to prepared meats such as sausage, ham, bacon and others. It also has broadened recently to include more than just meats cheeses, nuts, fruits, vegetables, breads, crackers and even sauces.
Speaker 2:I love charcuterie.

Speaker 3:Yeah, man, those seasoned crackers. Yeah, you can't beat those.
Speaker 1:This is new to me. Years ago I was at somewhere, like some of these business after hours we go to, where they got finger foods and stuff, and all they had was this stuff and stuff and all they had was this stuff. And somebody said, what are they got? They said, well, they got meat on some wood. I didn't know. I didn't know the charcuterie, I didn't know what that was.
Speaker 2:Now, you know it's the thing, so you think these are great. Yeah, that's what I have it for dinner, sometimes like I'll get me some pepperonis or some ham and turkey and little Ritz crackers or club crackers and little bits of cheese.
Speaker 1:Check out the picture video on their Facebook page later. Rachel Central Market in Austin, texas. They've set the record now for the largest charcuterie board ever 1,032 pounds of cured meats and cheeses. They created this board to celebrate their 30th anniversary and they say that they had so much they were able to give this to the guests. Had so many leftovers they donated it to a food bank. Oh, good, so I was wondering what happened when it was over.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But they donated it to a food bank. Good, I'm glad. But if you're looking at the video yeah, I'm looking at the video, yeah, I'm looking at it now. It's huge. Yeah, 1032 pounds, man, that's a lot of olives, of cured meats and cheeses yeah, oh wow, 132 pounds yeah 132 pounds 1032 pounds, oh, a thousand thousand and 32 pounds, because my first time walking in was well, who cut the cheese?

Speaker 2:I mean, I can tell better jokes than that.
Speaker 1:Really yeah, okay, hey you made me laugh.
Speaker 2:Listen speaking of food, let's get out of business. Speaking of food, we've got a taste test here, and the smell of coke after I have to open up these oreos is strong in this room.

Speaker 1:Looks like I think either Stacy or Brandy said on that cookie it's crazy, but that's okay. It's okay, but it's free, I'm not going to say a word.
Speaker 2:It's going to taste the same.

Speaker 1:I don't like them. I'm not a fan of this one.
Speaker 2:I like this one better than the drink. I do too.
Speaker 1:It's like a medicine you taste too. No, I don't taste medicine, I just had a mixture of NyQuil and Benadryl no which I taste that a lot because Mother gave that to me a lot when.
Speaker 2:I was little. Yeah, that sounds like a good time, so.
Speaker 1:I'd shut up and go to bed. I'm an expert on that taste. The NyQuil board should give me the NyCootery board.
Speaker 2:You're proud of yourself on that one. That one's pretty good.
Speaker 1:So what do you think? What do you give it out of 10?
Speaker 3:Of four.
Speaker 1:I'm going to give it a one.
Speaker 3:Right, I'm going to give it a six.

Speaker 2:This has a weird taste to it, see, but I like Diet Coke and it has a very different taste. Well, this one is scrape the cream out of it and you've got a diet cookie. It's not diet.
Speaker 1:It's more diet than it is without the cream.
Speaker 3:Well that's true. It's kind of diet.
Speaker 1:It is Well, alright. Thanks, Rachel. Alright, it's 8.17.
Speaker 4:WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly.
Speaker 1:Mornings crime story. The guy felt pretending to be asleep the police wouldn't bother him. They let him keep on sleeping. Oh no, in Atlanta. An Atlanta murder suspect. He thought seriously, police wouldn't wake him up if he jumped in the bed and pretended he was asleep.
Speaker 1:Police were called to a home Last Monday. They found Matt Washington asleep supposedly asleep in the bed. They say somebody called 911 to say that Washington had pulled a gun on his family and tried pistol-whipping his mom. Yes, no. So when they got there, a woman told them that that never happened. The story had suddenly changed. But when they asked to speak to other people in the home to see if this was correct, they found a guy found under the sheets of his bed and pretending to be asleep, he thought. Later, coming up later, found out that he thought that they wouldn't wake him and they would just walk off and leave him alone. Let him just continue sleeping. But because he was acting strange, they woke him up, got his name found out. That's the guy they were looking for. And not only did he do the other things, he was also wanted by police for a homicide since September 2nd Murder. Oh no, but the guy thought they wouldn't wake him up because he was asleep.
Speaker 2:Well, the guy is not very smart. He said oh God, the police are here. He said hurry up, go to the bedroom. He said I'm out, I'm asleep.
Speaker 1:You here and she said hurry up, go to the bedroom. He said I'm out, I come to sleep.
Speaker 2:You think it is a fake snoring and everything like the three students yeah, maybe, maybe that was a good one.
Speaker 1:So then they pulled the sheets back, they saw the guys fully clothed their shoes on. That's when they knew there was a problem, could grieve, but he honestly felt because it was like they wouldn't wake him up, he'd'd get away with it.
Speaker 2:So he pistol whipped his mama.
Speaker 4:Yes.
Speaker 2:I mean I know there's murder involved somewhere, but pistol whipping your mama.
Speaker 1:No, he needs to go away.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can't just go around pistol whipping your mama.
Speaker 1:No don't even talk mean no, much less that.
Speaker 2:She cooks you dressing at.
Speaker 1:Thanksgiving. She probably washed those sheets you were hiding under.
Speaker 2:Probably did, probably cleaned out the refrigerator that day.
Speaker 1:Now she got to wash them again because you had your old nasty shoes in there.
Speaker 2:Nasty man.
Speaker 1:First morning's animal story Also animal and I guess you'd say, hero story. A California woman is lucky to be alive after officials believe her dedicated dog helped protect her during a house fire. Now Maya is an 8-year-old pit bull mix. You can see her picture on her Facebook page. They found Maya unconscious and lying on top of her disabled owner, as if the dog knew that if I lay on top of her I can help protect her in the house fire.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:They got to the home it was engulfed in flames. The husband said I couldn't get in. The firefighters got there just in time and the house was engulfed in smoke and flames. They broke a window to reach Maya and her owner. They used an oxygen mask on the dog for about 15 minutes to revive her. Now Maya, the dog, is still at the hospital. It's going to be okay Now. She was treated and released Let me change that and now she's doing fine. She had burn marks, including one on her tongue, but she's going to be okay. She's given credit for saving the owner's life. The woman did suffer third-degree burns on more than 60% of her body and is still being treated at the burn center, but they believe the fact that she was laying on her chest when they found her probably saved her life with the dog laying on top of her chest because she had no burn marks on her chest.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh. See, this is why I would need a prenuptial for my dog.
