Speaker 2:So today is National Cheeseburger Day. Yes, cheeseburgers remain one of the favorite entrees in the US, according to the most popular American dishes, and while the hamburger tops the list with 85% popularity, the cheeseburger is at 83%. I don't believe that. So people would rather have a cheeseburger. Well, this is saying people would rather have no cheese.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I guess some people, maybe you're allergic, I don't know, but I want a piece of cheese on my burger. I want double cheese. Yeah, I love it when you can put it on the grill and put the cheese on there just right before you pull it off the grill. Melt it a little bit. Yes, just let it melt, yeah, so you're saying hamburger is the most popular thing, the most popular American dish, mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:Hamburger is the most popular American dish yeah, dish hamburger is the most popular american dish and the cheeseburger at 83 percent, and then, just behind that is french fries and grilled cheese, both at 84 percent, so 84, wait a minute.
Speaker 1:Okay, so you're saying cheeseburger, hamburger, french fries and grilled cheese? And then cheeseburger and fried chicken are tied. Yeah, fried chicken is tied, yeah I'm surprised pizza's not in there.
Speaker 2:This is a weird chart where's pizza.
Speaker 1:Uh, where's tacos? Yeah, because if you ask kids, okay, what would you like to eat, are tied for next. Yeah, fried chicken is tied.
Speaker 2:yeah, I'm surprised pizza's not in there. This is a weird chart.
Speaker 1:Where's pizza? Where's tacos? Yeah, because if you ask kids, okay, what would you like to eat? Some would say pizza, yes, grilled cheese. But I would think pizza would be up there a little higher.
Speaker 2:I would think so. I don't know. But to celebrate National Cheeseburger Day, 50 cent double cheeseburgers, I know through the mobile app. So the offer is only available today. Limit one per person, that's a good deal. But download the app and you can get a 50 cent double cheeseburger.

Speaker 2:Okay, so let me tell you this.
Speaker 1:REO Speedwagon is going to end touring next year due to irreconcilable differences.
Speaker 2:This can't get along anymore. They can't get along. Did you see the story where Jane's Addiction did the same thing this week they got into a fight on stage On stage, yes, on stage. So this is a thing, yeah, and I'm not 100% sure this is true, but yeah. Heard it from a friend who Heard it from a friend who heard it from another. That's what you said.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you see what I'm saying you say you heard it from a friend.
Speaker 3:I heard it from a friend, I guess it may be true, then it's 616. Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's country giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:Country, giant WQSB, since you've been gone. Delta Airlines in the news again this morning and the Florida High Fun Challenge is over. But first, how about Delta? You were telling me about this and they released a new dress code.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they did. They released a new dress code and recently sent out a memo outlining appearance requirements for future hires. So flight attendants must wear proper undergarments, which is, I guess, saying like your bra can't show.
Speaker 1:That's more what. When they say proper, they mean you must wear bra and underwear. That's part of the problem. From what I read, too many of them were not men and women, so now they're saying that is required.
Speaker 2:How can underwear be required to be part of your uniform?
Speaker 1:They're saying but the weird thing is, but they must not be visible. What does that mean?
Speaker 2:How do you know that.
Speaker 1:Do they wear skirts?
Speaker 2:No, they wear pants.
Speaker 1:Okay, I thought well, maybe if they're wearing skirts, that may be where the problem is.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean, yeah, I would say so, yeah, yeah. Other rules include natural-looking hair colors, so you can't do like pink, green or purple, gotcha. And eyelashes, oh, and nails must be the same color. Huh, so you can't. Everything is just very strict no neon colors, no multi-colors, no glitter, no hand-painted designs and no airbrushed nails are permitted. Wow, I know. Only two earrings per ear and hoops are. You can have hoops.
Speaker 1:Man, this is kind of strict, isn't it? I mean, would you agree with this? If you were a flight attendant, well, you'd have to.
Speaker 2:I'm just all about do what makes you happy, and if neon hair makes you happy, just have the neon hair. But you can't be a flight attendant. That's the rule. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1:It's just the weird thing is the underwear thing?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean it's required here.
Speaker 1:required here's the thing it says that you have to wear underwear.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but they can't be visible. So something, no penny, is the pilot gonna come up? But, ma'am, I need to make sure you're wearing some undergarments yeah, wedgie check check yep and pull yeah, I guess, yeah, I don't know, how do you know?
Speaker 1:I don't know. I mean. That's why I was asking if they wore like a skirt. I don't have. They've been on a plane in years. I don't know. They reach down to pick up and it's a coffee tier. Oh, hello. Yeah, I didn't know. Good morning sunshine.
Speaker 2:Good morning sunshine. The Florida Python Challenge crowned Ronald Cogger as the winner and he won $10,000 grand prize after he removed 20 Burmese pythons from the Everglades during a 10-day hunt. So he killed 20 pythons. How about now? I know this year more than 800.
Speaker 1:Did they remove? I don't know. I don't know if they killed them, I don't know. And then they probably brought them out and Peter was probably there watching. They had to gently take them through the Everglades and lay them down on a grassy knoll somewhere in the sunshine yeah. And feed them. Five rats, I don't know.
Speaker 2:But not outside rats, because they might chew their tail off.
Speaker 1:I'm guessing they didn't kill them, but he killed 20 of them, 20.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, and he won $10,000 for this, no. So 10 days, $10,000, 20 Burmese pythons no, those are big, aren't they?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:They're a snake period.
Speaker 1:I don't care what kind of snake they are, it doesn't matter. No, I wouldn't remove one of them. I'd remove myself from the Florida Everglades.
Speaker 2:You wouldn't do it for $10,000? No, no, I wouldn't If you're scared of snakes too. I would do it For $10,000?.
Speaker 1:You'd go in there and look for a python.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:That's how you do it. You have to go in the Everglades and look.
Speaker 2:You go through the swampy water and they're in trees.
Speaker 1:They could be anywhere.
Speaker 2:They don't bite, do they? They just squeeze.
Speaker 1:I'm not sure.
Speaker 2:I don't think they do. That's Siri. I don't know if they're the squeezers or the biters. Hey Siri, Does the Burmese python bite?
Speaker 3:The Burmese python is one of the largest species of snakes.
Speaker 2:It is native to a large area of science Non-venomous.
Speaker 1:Good, what do they bite? Though I don't know, they can still bite, I think, python squeeze.
Speaker 2:I'm like 99% sure. Sure, or is it?
Speaker 1:the anaconda? I don't.
Speaker 2:See, a snake is a snake man.
Speaker 1:If you're going to go in, there looking like you claim you are. You need to know your snake.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, that's why I'm here and not in the Florida Everglades.
Speaker 1:They're going to walk through and see this giant anaconda with a big hump in the belly and there's bushy hair and a pair of glasses. Oh man, I must have swallowed a holly.
Speaker 2:My hair's not bushy.
Speaker 1:Some days it is Depending on what's going on outside in the world.
Speaker 2:The higher the hair, the closer to God, barry, you know.
Speaker 1:Well, you're right, next year sitting in his lap, then You're right there.
Speaker 2:I am no, linda Connor, you are not going to bash me.
Speaker 1:No, I didn't put you in that category.
Speaker 2:So is it like the hamburgers and cheeseburgers?
Speaker 1:It's kind of the same thing. You're the cheeseburger without the cheese Okay. You hold. The cheese is what you are. Thank you, yeah, it's 631.
Speaker 3:Barry and Holly on Alabama's Country, Giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:If you believe this study. A recent study from the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that our dog's brains will sync with ours when we peer into each other's eyes. The more you're around your dog and the more you spend time together, the more you look into each other's eyes, our brains will sync together, humans and dogs, and you become more familiar with one another together, humans and dogs, and you become more familiar with one another and, they say, parts of the brains can synchronize more strongly with some people and their dogs and you begin to think your dog begins to react more to you, or what he knows you're going to do, or she knows you're going to do, and you begin to more.
Speaker 2:You act like each other yep, totally-hmm, yep, totally believe it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so you believe this.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because people use them as service dogs. Like diabetics, when you have low blood sugar or high blood sugar, you can smell it on your breath Okay, Dogs can and so they can alert you. If people are epileptic and have seizures, they can sense seizures coming on Right. When I'm having a really bad day and I'm just crying upset, he stays right up under me.
Speaker 1:Ah he knows you're upset.
Speaker 2:He knows I'm upset.
Speaker 1:So what about when you look into his eyes? Do you feel closer to him?
Speaker 2:Yeah, why would I not?
Speaker 1:So he feels closer? What does he do that mimics you? What does he do that you do that makes you think we're synced together?
Speaker 2:He cries when I cry. Ah he doesn't, he just licks a bunch. But we do look into each other's eyes. I will say that and I just baby talk. Do you baby talk your animals?
Speaker 1:No, have you ever? Cats don't like that.
Speaker 2:I know I'm like oh, my buddy, so sweet, look at you.
Speaker 1:You said I'm about to slap your nose with my paw.
Speaker 2:Cats cuss at you. They do, they do. They're cussing, giving you the middle.
Speaker 1:Yeah, mm-hmm, the middle paw finger.
Speaker 2:The middle paw.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but your dog so it's when you lay on the couch, so he likes to lay on the couch too. So he lays around.
Speaker 2:And here's something, the and he's about nine years old and he knows the words, like outside, he knows that I'm going to get up. He also knows, like speaking of being in sync when I'm putting my shoes on. He gets excited running around Like, oh, we're about to go for a walk or go outside, or she's going to leave. But I can spell it out Whoa Like, do you want a T-R-E-A-T?
Speaker 1:And he knows what it is.
Speaker 2:He goes straight to the treats. Yeah, yeah, because I was telling Harlow one day I was like go give Doug a T-R-E-A-T, and he wouldn't know it. And he knew it.
Speaker 1:It went straight to him. That's amazing, isn't that crazy? I've seen him and I agree because I was confused one day because you're very convincing. Yeah, because I was over there, we were eating dinner and you said hey, do you need to go outside and pee? And I did. I thought, okay, well, that's weird, but I'll, whatever.
Speaker 2:No, there I went, but I was. I thought you're talking to me, I didn't know. No, okay, no, I just said he only has a few phrases like you don't go pee, pee, you don't go outside, and then like he rips the carpet taken off, like he's ready to go?
Speaker 2:yeah, he loves it, he loves to be outside yes, he, but he's so awful like if anybody ever comes into my house and leaves the door open too big and there's room for him to slip out, but he's gone All the way gone. And here's the weird part Once I get into my vehicle, if I act like I'm leaving, he'll come back or he'll get in the car with me. Okay, I don't know why. But, I'm going to put up a Facebook post and ask our listeners to share stories about their pet's language.
Speaker 1:I'm curious Are there words that your dog absolutely understands? Are there words, or more than one word, like outside or walk? I've known some people who said they want to go for a walk and they know what that means. Oh yeah, want to go to the park.
Speaker 2:A park, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so yeah, put that up there and we'll see what they say. All right, 6.47.

Speaker 2:The Harlem Globetrotters aim to expand into a multi-platform media brand, including TV and digital content. I wonder what kind of digital content.
Speaker 1:I don't know, that's interesting.
Speaker 2:The team's Saturday morning series is returning on NBC.
Speaker 1:I love the Globetrotters. I went to see them as a kid many times and that's something the entire family can laugh and have fun with and I'm glad. I hope they're making like a big comeback or we see more of them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think it'd be a really neat show.
Speaker 1:I think it's good for the whole family.
Speaker 2:And the Sanderson sisters are about to be resurrected on the big screen. Hocus Pocus is returning to theaters for a one-night special showing on October 18th. I wonder if Lucas is going to be doing this.
Speaker 1:That's weird, I wonder. Yeah, so you're a Hocus Pocus fan, 100%? Did you see the part two? Yeah, not very good, not as good. No, not as good. They should have left it alone.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it just wasn't the same. It just wasn't the same, I just didn't love it the same. Okay, and reports are circulating that Morgan Wallen might face jail time over the three felony charges he picked up back in April Following his arrest for throwing a chair off the roof of Chief's Bar in downtown Nashville. Now whose bar did you say?
Speaker 1:that was Eric Church's Eric Church's Bar, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he threw the bar stool.
Speaker 1:Sure did it almost hit like there was a policeman and other people nearby when it landed on the ground.
Speaker 2:Morgan.
Speaker 1:I tried.
Speaker 2:And while his legal team is trying to negotiate a plea deal, an inside source says it's looking bleak at this point. He's likely to spend time behind bars.
Speaker 1:I wonder how long, I don't know. Give him time to write some more songs, I guess I guess. So yeah, it's 6.56,. Birthdays are next. Mornings with Barry and Hall here on Alabama's country giant WQSB and on your way into school and work this morning got your quote of the day. What you got today.
Speaker 2:Life is about choices, Some we regret, some we're proud of, some will haunt us forever. But the message is we are what we choose to be, regardless of what you think.
Speaker 1:This is what I used to tell my son all the time. All the time and some of the talks we had that you've got to be careful. What you choose. One action can change your entire life just one. No matter how small you think this, what I'm about to do is it can change your life. So you need to think before you act. Think, because some of these you're going to regret, some you're going to be extremely proud of, and some will haunt you forever and can change your entire life.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You may think that's silly, but no, think about it. Sometimes you may choose. I'm going to get in the car and go to the store. There are some people who made that choice and for whatever reason they that choice and for whatever reason they may have had an ax on the way. Because this is weird, how choices, choices can change your entire life.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you just got to be careful yeah, just be careful, it's 7 16 barring and holly on alabama's country, giant wqsb couple of food stories.
Speaker 1:Dominoes. Dominoes has something new. You you like mac and cheese? Yeah, I do. They have new mac and cheese. It's new five cheese mac and cheese and new spicy buffalo five cheese mac and cheese. I think for mac and cheese, the more cheese the better.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:And I've never really thought about this, but I bet that is good buffalo mac and cheese.
Speaker 2:I bet that is too. I'd love to try that.
Speaker 1:Yep, it's coming out September 23rd. You've got the Domino's new mac and cheese debuting in two varieties, including, like we said, the spicy buffalo. It's basically mac and cheese with extra cheese and some spicy buffalo sauce mixed in Yum. So that's coming out in just a few days. And then, looking at those lists, you may have to blow this up and look closer, but there's like a whole bunch of new I guess you'd say treats, candies coming out over the holidays. How about the candy canes at the bottom of this picture here, which? You can see these on our Facebook page.
Speaker 2:Oh, they're Ding Dong flavored, snowball flavored and Twinkies flavored.
Speaker 1:So Hostess has their own candy canes coming out. Ah, okay, look at the Nerds.
Speaker 2:I know you and the girls, like the Nerds, love gummy clusters. These are like holiday gummy clusters. Yeah, I wonder if they're going to taste different. I'm trying to look. It says sweet and gummy, but they're red, green and white instead of the traditional multicolor. So Christmas colors, yep. And then there's Mary Berry Punch Twizzlers which are green. Okay, those would be good. There's Twizzlers Trees in the shape of Christmas trees.

Speaker 3:WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly. Oh man.
Speaker 1:You know good timing, the Cole Swindell song talking about getting married, about getting wed, and there was a couple who put something up on Reddit. Give us your opinion on this. There was a Reddit post that the couple they were asking people to bring certain things to their wedding. They asked them to bring a dessert to share to their wedding. Now the post from the couple said that it was going to be a black tie wedding. They wanted you to wear formal attire but also to bring a dessert to share. They said they'll be serving hors d'oeuvres, non-alcoholic drinks. Here's the quote we won't feed you. You have to bring your own dessert and we hope you're okay sucking down fruit-infused water, but can you pretty please buy a TV worth four figures for us?
Speaker 2:So they want at least one person to buy them a TV worth at least $1,000. Okay, I get the bring your own dessert to an extent, but buy a TV worth four figures for us.
Speaker 1:I've seen TVs like at Walmart cheap.
Speaker 2:Yeah, cheap, you can get like a 60-inch for under $500.
Speaker 1:But what about the dessert? Have you ever been asked to bring something to a wedding? A food, A dish?
Speaker 2:Never.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:No, never.
Speaker 1:What would your thought be if somebody says, oh, we would love for you to come to a wedding, but hey, can you bring a dessert, because we're not going to fry all the food, just some finger foods, and you bring your own dessert, b-y-o-d.
Speaker 2:I mean I get, times are hard and groceries aren't cheap, yeah, and sometimes you just got to ask your family and friends to bring their own dessert.
Speaker 1:Oh, please, that's when I don't go.
Speaker 2:No, I'm not going to go to that wedding?
Speaker 1:No, I don't have to bring a dessert to go see you get married.
Speaker 2:No, I know what are you supposed to do.
Speaker 1:Just sit down with a pineapple upside down cake in your lap Waiting on the.
Speaker 2:I do, I don't know. I'd bring some Reese cups. That'd be a good dessert.
Speaker 1:Four or five packs of those, Get some ding dongs oh yeah. Something like that. Oh okay, maybe a pie, I sure wouldn't make anything.
Speaker 2:B-Y-O-D yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I would buy something already made. I mean, what do you do with it?
Speaker 1:I don't know. Or bring them some chocolate pudding, they wouldn't forget A little X-lax in there. Oh yeah, hey, I hope you have a great wedding, but can't wait to see that in the honeymoon, how the honeymoon turns out.
Speaker 2:You know what would be a fun trip.
Speaker 1:What.
Speaker 2:Is if you made pudding for the entire wedding party. Half of it had X-flax, half of it did not. Yes, the gamble is up to you. Yes, the gamble of a lifetime it is. I would not ask people to bring desserts, no, it's like poop roulette. Poop roulette yeah, it is. You know what I'm going to say it's poo-ret, poo-ret, poo-ret, you Roulette, roulette.
Speaker 1:You don't know who's going to get it, tourette. You're just going to hope that church got more than one bathroom. Yep, yep. Sorry, you asked me to bring dessert. I did, I did. Now I'm going to watch the show. Yep, can't wait to see it. Dinner and a show, that's it 7.40.
Speaker 3:Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's Squeezebox Daddy never sleeps at night.
Speaker 1:Rachel's back in the room. Good morning, Rachel. Good morning. We were talking dogs earlier. Now you have a new dog. Yes, Fairly new.
Speaker 4:Fairly new. She's a Shih Tzu, okay, and she's about six months old.
Speaker 1:Okay and we were talking earlier about. There are certain words that Holly says her dog Doug knows certain words. So we ask our listeners are there words your dog knows? The Internet or Facebook is blowing up. Like Jennifer Elrod says, my dogs know how to spell cheese and treat.
Speaker 2:Oh, so another one that can spell treat.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Kay Murphy says all four of my dogs respond to the word out. Oh, yeah, oh yeah, brandy says potty treat bedtime, lay down, give sugar, sit shake, burn the baby. Oh Lord no, don't burn the baby, Brandy. I'm not sure what that means exactly, Brandy. Oh no, oh, wipe the baby's butt.
Speaker 2:And he also identifies as a mountain goat. Okay, he just must stand on random objects.
Speaker 1:I'll see him now. There's a picture of him. He's standing on the back of the couch.
Speaker 4:Yeah, gotcha, oh, that's funny, we only know two words yeah, that is outside.
Speaker 2:And no, yeah, okay, so she'll stop when you say no, yes.

Speaker 1:That's you, okay. Little ellie, little shit zoo, yeah, so please, uh, get on our facebook page. There's a bunch of these two. We'll go for some more of these in a few minutes, so if your dog knows certain words and responds to them, let us know in the meantime. Knowledge nuggets, holly's knowledge nuggets three things to remember today. What have you got today?
Speaker 2:for some reason, three forks disappear from the average home each year three forks.
Speaker 4:I'm surprised that's not a higher number why? Would that be? I don't know. I don't know. They just disappear. I don't know where they go. How do you know? Do you count them? Do you have a count on your forks? No, I don't have a count on them, but I just know when the stack's getting smaller and smaller.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you think, maybe you, maybe you take a plate to somebody and you take a fork with them.
Speaker 4:or you think Possibly, probably, a to-go dinner, you know, leaving the house and you need a fork to eat.
Speaker 1:A child throws it away, not thinking yes.
Speaker 2:Or you throw it away on accident Possibly, or what do you? See, I only use plasticware at my house because I don't do metal. I don't put anything metal near my mouth. I can't stand it. I hate it. When we go out to eat, everybody here knows I have to have plastic, so I recycle those. But I would say so like 300 forks disappear from my home each year. Well, that's a little different. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because you mean for those to disappear.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But the old fork mystery is upon us.
Speaker 2:Well.
Speaker 1:Three a year.
Speaker 2:Do you think it's a low number? Like Rachel does I do.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you think it's more than three. I think it's more than three. Okay, especially around Thanksgiving. You think holidays may be one of those days, oh yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2:You know Mama's going to take that fork with her. She don't care.
Speaker 4:Or they get thrown away. Oh yeah, yeah, during the holidays, that's right.
Speaker 2:See, this is why y'all should switch to plastic wear. You don't have to worry about it, you just like letting it done.
Speaker 1:Note to self Note to self yep, so what?
Speaker 2:else. 32% of Americans are confident they could land a plane in case of an emergency. They feel this way because they have landed one while playing a video game.
Speaker 1:Big difference, I would think 32%.
Speaker 2:There's no way If the plane was going down. I'm going down with it crashing and crying.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm just going to be crashing and crying everywhere.
Speaker 1:I've landed one in a video game and there's a huge difference, I would think.
Speaker 2:What video game?
Speaker 1:I forget the name of it, but it's one that I didn't even have, like the.
Speaker 2:Wheel.
Speaker 1:I had like the joysticks.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, yeah, there's.
Speaker 1:I'd walk in there and know what to do.
Speaker 2:Yeah. I don't know. Do you feel like you could land in the plane, Rachel?
Speaker 4:Absolutely not no.
Speaker 2:No, I wouldn't. What would you do if a plane was going down? Would you be like, hold on. And they were like the pilot has passed out.
Speaker 1:I've got this. Yeah, I know what I'm doing.

Speaker 3:Barry and Holly on.
Speaker 1:Alabama's Country, giant WQSB. So are there like two seasons there are spring and a fall, or is there any time?
Speaker 2:I've only been married once and then divorced. So I don't know. Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 1:Okay, I don't know. Well, we have the story about some couples or this couple asking people to bring desserts to their wedding.
Speaker 4:Oh, okay.
Speaker 1:Then there's this one, ernesto. Ernesto of Spain. He has a strange service he offers For a fee. He will crash any wedding, claiming to be the bride or groom's lover, and ride away with them If they don't know how to get out of getting married. He will show up for $550. Ernesto will help cancel a wedding while allowing the partner with cold feet to save face. And how's that saving face?
Speaker 2:Um, I don't know. I've never heard of such.
Speaker 1:He says tell me the time, place and date I will appear at the ceremony. He says I will say that I am the love of your life. We will run away together, hand in hand, jump in the car and just leave everybody standing there.
Speaker 4:Okay.
Speaker 1:He charges more if somebody slaps him, punches him or kicks him.
Speaker 2:As he should. Yes, agreed.
Speaker 1:He says his services are in demand. He is completely booked every weekend through November the 2nd.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:That is crazy.
Speaker 2:So he's just this Spanish lover that comes out of nowhere. He'll show up at the wedding. Man, don't walk down the aisle, just don't walk down the aisle. No, no, don't get married.
Speaker 1:It's going to make you look more stupid if this happens. Did you hear about so-and-so? Her love of her life showed up at the wedding.
Speaker 2:If you have to pay $550 to get out of your wedding, the wedding is not for you, sis, no, no.
Speaker 1:So, anyway, you got that. And then here's a feel-good wedding story. Do you like Coldplay? I do. Yeah, they did something. This is pretty cool. Bride and groom, celine and Paul. They had a very special first dance at their wedding back a couple of weeks ago. Coldplay, the group, presented the couple with an unbelievable wedding gift. What they did was they let them premiere their brand-new song All my Love, during their first dance at the wedding. First time anybody in the world had heard it. Wow.
Speaker 1:Now Coldplay was playing a show on September the 2nd when their frontman, chris Martin. He played a piano version of All my Love from the band's album Moon Music. The clip was shared on X. This caused Paul to reach out to Coldplay's manager, phil Harvey, to ask if they could have their first dance to All my Love at the wedding. Do you mind if we do this? And the manager said well, the song won't be released for like another few weeks, but let me talk to Chris. Coldplay got back to them and said not only can you use it, we're going to let you be able to use it first. Nobody in the world has heard it, but they'll get to hear it first at your wedding for your first dance.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh. Well I wonder what you have to do to get Coldplay at your wedding. First of all, I don't know Like did they pay them to be there?
Speaker 1:They didn't show up. They gave them the song. They sent the song to them, oh, okay.
Speaker 4:They didn't actually show up.
Speaker 2:I was thinking that they were there.
Speaker 1:No, but they sent the song to them and said here you can play the song, and everybody that hears it will be the first people to hear this in the world, two weeks before everybody else. That'd be like, say, taylor Swift, you reached out and you wanted a special song. It says do you mind if I play this song at a certain whatever she said, not only can you play it, I'm going to let you play it first, because nobody else has heard this song. You're going to be the first one to play it at your event.
Speaker 2:I'd be like that special. This is my moment. This is not mine and my husband's moment. This is my moment.
Speaker 1:That is a special moment. Yeah, it really is All right, it's 8.15.
Speaker 3:WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly.
Speaker 1:Mornings crime story. Going to Miami Beach, miami Beach Corvette owner. He faced a very unusual situation when he discovered an intruder had trapped himself inside his car that is the Corvette owner's car and then reached out asking him for help getting me out. Oh my God. And the owner said my brother, this is not your car, this is my car, julio. The owner asked the 33-year-old. He said this is my car, get yourself out. The guy said Can I please get out? He was stuck inside the Corvette.
Speaker 2:Oh, no, like in the driver's seat.
Speaker 1:The owner says no, you can't get out, we're calling the cops. According to this, the owner was stunned when he returned to his car after breakfast on Monday morning and found the guy sitting inside pleading for help. Oh my gosh. This all happened at a parking garage in Miami Beach. Police arrived on the scene and arrested the guy, who now faces burglary charges. According to the owner, he believes the guy managed to break into the vehicle, but he was unable to start it or escape due to the car's security system. Once you get inside, if you don't have, like, the key fob or whatever you need, first of all it's not going to crank and then it won't open and let you out if you somehow get in there. Because the thought is if somebody's in it without the fob, there's a chance.
Speaker 1:They're up to no good.
Speaker 2:Okay, but what if you're one of those people like me that walk out of your house and forget?
Speaker 1:your keys, get in your car and then, whoops, probably it won't let you in because you don't have the five to get in the first place. Somehow this guy got in it okay but then he couldn't get out of it okay um, and he was asking please let me out. They didn't let him out, but the police let him out when they got there.
Speaker 2:Oh, I bet they did yeah, All right 828-TRIP.
