Valley Ranch party in my mouth.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I love you more today than yesterday. They're both crazy. Yep, good morning at 606. So be honest with the listeners. How much do you enjoy Hidden Valley Ranch?

Speaker 2:

I love it, but I want to finish our conversation that we were just having before we went on air. Okay, do you? Here's the big question. Yeah, do you believe in ghosts? No, you don't believe that at all.

Speaker 1:

No, I don't I don't either I was going over to Troy, I was told about you don't have to say where. I would say, but there's a location in Albertville, yeah. It supposedly is haunted. Yeah, it's a business and there's a little boy that's in the business.

Speaker 2:

That, that's the ghost, turns lights on yeah and walks through the room from time to time you can hear footsteps. I see, I just don't believe it.

Speaker 1:

Have you ever heard anything or seen anything? Thinks, oh, there may be a ghost in here no, I've got another story to tie into my house, the smoke alarm story oh, a follow-up go ahead. Well, we'll finish this one first okay.

Speaker 2:

okay, your thoughts on ghosts? Okay, my thoughts on ghosts are I don't believe in them and I feel like it's, I don't know. I just I don't. Don't get me wrong. I get scared, I live by myself and I get spooked and I don't think I'll hear stuff. But I also have six cameras, window bars and 15 locks on each door. Well, that helps, but I don't think I've ever ran into a time where I was like oh that is the ghost?

Speaker 1:

I haven't either. I've never had anything, a sound or something that people say sometimes doors are open and you can hear footsteps, you can hear talking. I've never had that experience.

Speaker 2:

Because I worked in the restaurant business for 10 years and I know that those line cooks where you're talking about are going back and turning that light on and opening the door.

Speaker 1:

Ah so you think people are doing it and just not telling the truth I do, I do.

Speaker 2:

I don't think things just happen like that. I agree, I've never seen it I don't know.

Speaker 1:

let me tell you my story then. Okay, I won't play the, I won't play the smoke alarm again. I won't play the smoke alarm again. I won't play that. So I promise we're done playing it. But a couple of days ago is when my smoke alarm went off, like at 2 o'clock in the morning. Okay, and it needs a battery change, yeah, so here's what I did. So yesterday no, two days ago I went home and I changed the battery, put the the battery, put the new battery in alarm, stopped. Last night I was sitting on the couch and I heard it again.

Speaker 1:

I thought bad battery yeah, so I went in there and I got the chair and took the battery out. We're back and sat down.

Speaker 2:

It did it again with no battery in it but it freaked me out.

Speaker 1:

I thought, okay, I've got a ghost smoke alarm, it's somehow going to kill me.

Speaker 2:

I don't know how, but it's going to attack me in the middle of the night. It's going to beat you in the forehead.

Speaker 1:

It's going to beat me. But then I was sitting there looking at it. I got in the chair and I was watching it and it beeped again. I thought it's not coming from there.

Speaker 2:

It was in the bedroom, the one, the one in the bedroom also next to it went out at the

Speaker 1:

same time, I guess. Whoever it took them a couple of years. I guess they replaced at the same time it freaked me out.

Speaker 2:

It's going off and there's no battery in it, but it was the one in the next room didn't see what was going on. Yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so when I changed the other one, I did stop.

Speaker 2:

Did you have to go buy new batteries I?

Speaker 1:

did so. I just took this one out. So I was going to live on the edge last night with no battery in that one. Oh man, I thought, if the house catches on, fire in this bedroom with nobody in it, then I deserve to go.

Speaker 2:

I think about that too. I think about that too. I think about something like that too.

Speaker 1:

My luck, the one time it catches on fire Is when I pull the battery out. Then that's meant to be.

Speaker 2:

If it happens. It happens. Local radio announcer Killed in fire after admitting Not changing batteries. Taking battery out of smoke alarm. You two can learn a lesson from this, kids.

Speaker 1:

You two can prevent forest fires. Yeah, smokey bear here, but anyway it's 610. No rain this morning. If you have things to do, this morning looks pretty good. Rain is going to come in later today. Later today, here comes the rain. How about this hurricane? You're going to talk more about this in a minute. Possibly a Category 4. One of the biggest storms in years. It went from being just really unorganized to anything outside of the Gulf like three days ago to now boom, it's in the Gulf, coming ashore tonight, possibly Category 4.

Speaker 2:

Have you seen the pictures on Facebook of all the linemen that are lined up ready to go down?

Speaker 1:

there, it's going to be awful.

Speaker 2:

They have this whole huge parking lot full of emergency vehicles, linemen, trucks, all kinds of stuff.

Speaker 1:

They're expecting it to be a lot of damage because this thing has gone from nothing to a major storm in a matter of days.

Speaker 5:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And good news for us is it looks like it is going to go through Georgia. We're going to get some of the rain, we're getting a lot of the rain off of it, but it's not going to be as bad for us as they first thought yeah which we'll tell you about that in a second.

Speaker 1:

But it's crazy because they're showing this area, the big bend area in florida. Where it bends, the air is going to get it. They went like almost like a hundred years without a hurricane. In the past 13 months they've had three whoa. I think there's somebody that's moved in named Jonah that you need to find him and toss him in the sea.

Speaker 2:

And let the whales swallow him up.

Speaker 1:

Because what's happened? In 13 months, you've now got your third hurricane. Third hurricane, man, in the same area.

Speaker 2:

Maybe it's haunted. Maybe the area's haunted and it's ghost hurricanes.

Speaker 1:

You went like 100 years basically, with no nothing, and now all of a sudden boom, boom, boom years basically with no nothing and now sudden boom, boom, boom.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I don't know that's crazy, but anyway for us we'll get into details. It does look promising. For us. High school football tomorrow night should be okay. We'll tell you all the details coming up in a few minutes. So as far as weather today, this morning everything is okay. How do you know? I just know other things you need to know. Today, thursday, september the 26th. So what's going on today?

Speaker 2:

So today is National Pancake Day.

Speaker 1:

Love pancakes, yes, the only problem I've got is the syrup smell. I'm paranoid when I feel like I smell like syrup the rest of the day.

Speaker 2:

I know 93% of people say that they love pancakes. I'm like you they they're almost too much for me.

Speaker 1:

It's the smell of the syrup. You feel like, everywhere you go, like everybody's going. He's been eating pancakes.

Speaker 2:

He's been in that maple again.

Speaker 1:

He thinks he's something he's better than me.

Speaker 2:

Here's the top three pancake flavors. Number three is chocolate chip.

Speaker 1:

I've never had a chocolate chip. I've never had one, I've had blueberry.

Speaker 2:

Okay, number two is blueberry.

Speaker 1:

I love those, love those and number those, love them, love those. And number one most popular pancake flavor is buttermilk. Yeah, I'm just a plain old pancake buttermilk pancake.

Speaker 2:

That's all we need. Yeah, mayor loves pancakes.

Speaker 1:

I do, I love, I love. You got better pancakes or waffles, waffles, waffles is like a. It's like a hidden little compartment that holds your syrup it holds your syrup. Yeah, it's like little syrup holders yeah, it is, it's very convenient.

Speaker 2:

And then the top pancake toppings are number one syrup, of course, number two butter. Yes, no, I'm a no no.

Speaker 3:

I'm a big no on butter.

Speaker 1:

Love butter.

Speaker 2:

I don't like butter. And number three, fresh fruit.

Speaker 1:

On the side. I don't want it on my pancake. No, I don't want that on my pancake at all.

Speaker 2:

Here's something you need to know. Major League Baseball announced that the final two games of the critical New York Mets versus Braves series in Atlanta will be postponed and played in a double header next Monday Because of the hurricane, because of the hurricane it rained out last night.

Speaker 1:

They've already canceled tonight's game. See, the season ends Sunday. Sunday is when they know Monday who plays who in the playoffs. Now they won't, because Monday the Braves have to play the Mets.

Speaker 3:

Oh.

Speaker 1:

At least one game, if not two, to decide who's going to play who. And it's thrown baseball in a complete mess because some teams were scheduled to play, like Tuesday, but now they may have to postpone some of the stuff because it all depends on when they can get these games in.

Speaker 2:

God, it's such a mess.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so if you're heading to Atlanta tonight, don't, for many reasons. First of all, atlanta is going to get a lot of rain in the next day or so, flooding, possibly flights being canceled. So Atlanta is going to have a mess. Oh gosh, yeah, when this hurricane comes ashore.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I dread that you know, sometimes as soon as it hits land it weakens.

Speaker 1:

So maybe let's hope it weakens. It weakens, so maybe let's hope. Let's hope it weakens. Yeah, but they're expecting a, mainly rain and flooding.

Speaker 2:

Off of this event.

Speaker 1:

Well, my daughter is set to go to disney world this weekend so they're gonna go through atlanta through atlanta, yeah let's hope this thing gets out of here in time yeah, we got saturday should be fine, but they're just hoping. If they have to start canceling flights tomorrow, it may push other flights back. Don't know how that works.

Speaker 2:

That's not my job. Here's something to think about. I was talking to a friend last night and she said that yesterday was her and her husband's anniversary. She said they've been happily married for two years 2018 and 2022. Those were their happy years.

Speaker 1:

Oh, so the other ones? Oh, I see what you're saying.

Speaker 2:

They had just two happy years, the other one's not so happy 2018, 2022. She can pinpoint it.

Speaker 1:

Well, maybe the next one will be a good one.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, maybe.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, 6-16.

Speaker 3:

Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's country giant WQSB.

Speaker 1:

WQSB, since you've been gone, but the storm is now a hurricane and it's going to be a major hurricane too.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and if you hadn't heard about this, you've been living under a rock because they have been warning that the storm would strengthen to a category four storm before making landfall in the Big Bend region, which is just like the panhandle. For making landfall in the Big Bend region, which is just like the panhandle, such a powerful storm will likely bring widespread destruction in Florida and Georgia. Helene is now in the Gulf of Mexico, about 385 miles southwest of Tampa.

Speaker 1:

It blows my mind. It went from just being a mess out in the ocean about five days ago. Now it's organized so quickly and so fast, and so big Three is going to be a category four.

Speaker 2:

They're comparing it to Katrina.

Speaker 1:

So much flooding is going to be a problem here and it's going to bring in so much rain. That's why, as far as us, the closer you are to the Georgia line, like parts of Jackson, dekalb, cherokee, you may see heavier rainfall.

Speaker 1:

The further you get from the Georgia line the way it's going to move, like here in Marshall County, we're going to see some rain, a lot of rain, especially late tonight into tomorrow morning Only way into school and work tomorrow A lot of rain. They're not expecting storms, but mainly rain for us. But the hope is it's going to be out of here by early afternoon tomorrow and then it's going to get better. But then it's going to kind of turn to the west when it gets to shore and as it goes above Alabama it's going to come back. What they're calling wraparound rain is going to come in like 12 to 24 hours later. So you could have scattered showers during the games tomorrow night and into Saturday morning, but then by, say, lunchtime Saturday it should be a whole lot better.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and James Spann made a post that I saw this morning that said no, we're not expecting any tornadoes from this storm.

Speaker 1:

Because we're on the west side. West is best, yeah. And that's why Atlanta may see some major problems, especially with hurricanes and possibly strong storms. Oh, scary. During the day tomorrow. Yeah, so we'll watch it closely, but the main thing is, this morning you're fine, no rain out there. Later in the day we started seeing rain.

Speaker 2:

Well, Inside Out 2 has started streaming on Disney+.

Speaker 1:

Yes, I've got to watch it.

Speaker 2:

It's so cute. In a recent interview, Amy Poehler says that if there was an Inside Out 3, she would love to have Beyonce provide one of the voices. That would be cute. That would be a good one. That's a good pick?

Speaker 1:

You would think they would, because 2 is now like the biggest animated movie of all time. As far as money, Really yeah it is Wow. It's made the most money. It's like number eight as far as best movie of all time as far as making money.

Speaker 2:

It's really cute. I loved it because my daughter is going through so many changes. At nine, ten years old she's about to be ten. Sure, there's so many things going on inside of her head that I don't understand. And I'm going to be honest with you. That movie taught me some things about my daughter and what she's dealing with and the the mix of emotions and the uh, confusion and the how it just all spins around in your head and kind of helped me have a little bit more grace with her.

Speaker 1:

You think that's why it's so popular.

Speaker 2:

It's done so well worldwide I think so, I think it's relatable, I think it's something that you can learn from.

Speaker 1:

It connects so well with other people. Yeah, it does I can't wait to see it. I haven't seen it. I can't wait to see it.

Speaker 2:

Okay, listen to this story.

Speaker 1:

This is bad this is funny.

Speaker 2:

Listen, listen, everybody gather around Detroit. In Detroit there was a Bridgerton party. You could pay $300 to attend a ball that promised elegance and entertainment, just like the TV show, and it was going to be fancy and everybody was dressed up.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 2:

And everybody was going to come in carriages. But the event did not deliver a high society experience, Deliver the high society experience. So Rachel Eaton reported on X that she showed photos of dolled up participants sitting in the floor, bored with nothing to do.

Speaker 1:

Okay, you've just watched the video. I've showed you the video. Yeah, she's so upset. They're just like sitting there it was like a high school gym is where it's taking place at.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's supposed to be this really fancy ballroom, bridgerton.

Speaker 1:

Just like the TV show.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, just so fancy Gloves, heels.

Speaker 1:

The food was catered by like it was like a high school lunchroom.

Speaker 2:

On paper plates.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and the drink of choice was Kool-Aid.

Speaker 2:

They had one violin player.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's it, that's entertainment.

Speaker 2:

Just one. They didn't have any music playing. No, just one person playing the violin, just one violin player, and then, on top of that, they had one exotic dancer.

Speaker 1:

It was a pole dancer, tell me how that ties in. I don't think the show probably had a pole dancer that I'm guessing. I watched Bridgerton. I didn a pole dancer, so where did the pole?

Speaker 5:

dancer come from.

Speaker 2:

I don't know, and we pulled this video up. It's on our Facebook. It looks like it's like a mobile stripper pole.

Speaker 1:

It does.

Speaker 2:

Like you can move it around. They just brought their own pole and was like hey, and she's dressed in a bikini, right?

Speaker 1:

The company that hosted this was called Uncle and Me Productions. That's a kind of a sign there, Uncle and Me Productions. That's a kind of a sign there. Uncle and Me Doesn't sound very like a. That's kind of creepy and people are mad. They paid $300 for this party $300 a ticket.

Speaker 2:

one violin player catered food from McDonald's on plastic plates Kool-Aid to drink, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Some people flew in to be at this special party because they love the TV show so much.

Speaker 2:

And they were ready to gather and be together and have a party. They had no chairs for them. It was awful. It was a complete disaster.

Speaker 1:

That's terrible. You can check out more details on our Facebook page at 633.

Speaker 3:

Mary and Holly on Alabama's Country, giant WQSB.

Speaker 1:

I've missed this. So it's on TikTok, you're telling me. Nutter Butter.

Speaker 2:

Has gone crazy, they have gone crazy.

Speaker 1:

I love Nutter Butter cookies.

Speaker 2:

So this is a whole rabbit hole. If you've got time this morning and you're sitting and scrolling or you're just laying in bed, or if you're just at work waiting on your day to get started, get on TikTok, go to Nutter Butter Official. It is so weird here, let me play a little clip. Okay, okay, he riddled white house.

Speaker 3:

Greenly peanut butter building Filling up its middle and his peanuts hit them crunchy too.

Speaker 2:

It's another Nutter Butter peanut butter sandwich cookie. Its middle and his peanuts hate them. Crunchy too. It's another nutter butter peanut butter sandwich cookie. It's weird, that's strange.

Speaker 1:

It's creepy. Not just the audio, but you need to see the video portion of it. You got to see the video, yeah, so go to our Facebook page when you get a chance, and there's not just one. There's how many of these different videos, hundreds.

Speaker 2:

You're showing me this for the first time and there's not just one.

Speaker 1:

There's how many of these different, uh, hundreds. You're showing me this for the first time and I and these are not people putting them together this, this is strange it's just so weird, it's the weirdest thing and like it has, it's all over the news.

Speaker 2:

Articles like that. I've been reading that we had to cover this because everybody's talking about it. If you haven't seen them on tiktok, like I said, it's nutter butter official nutter butter is their name. It's like a fever dream have you ever had? You know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1:

When you have dreams, when you have a fever sure and they're real, vivid and weird it's like people had a dream and then they said let's make a video out of this yeah now, this is not just me and you putting together a video and throwing it up on TikTok. This is from Nutter Butter, the company.

Speaker 2:

Yes, this is just so weird. It's the real company. You've got to go down the shrapnel hole. Like I said, if you have time to scroll, go on TikTok. It is the weirdest thing.

Speaker 1:

My question is to you.

Speaker 2:

I said okay, more nutter butter cookies it actually had the opposite effect on me. It freaked me out me too.

Speaker 1:

I like it I'm being honest if you're doing a commercial, it should be something like shake. Oh okay, I should go try that.

Speaker 2:

That's got me interested but on the other hand, they have geniusly marketed themselves for free right by doing videos that make you want to go to their tiktok page and see and look there.

Speaker 1:

Look at, we're talking about them okay and all the news, that's good, but it's not putting money in your pocket. If I, we may watch, we may watch their TikToks, but we're not going to buy their cookies but when you have this many followers on TikToks and this many likes, you do make money do you think it'll make the, the younger kids say see these, mama, I've seen this commercial. I want some Nutter Butter cookies now.

Speaker 2:

I mean it might, but does it make you want Nutter Butters?

Speaker 1:

Nope, I love them anyway, but it doesn't make me, it doesn't say okay, I forgot all about them. I'm going to go buy some today.

Speaker 2:

I make a really really good Nutter Butter pie. Ooh, Really good and you need to back that talk up and bring one. Okay, I can do that. I can do that. The description on their TikTok says like where you would put your bio, like about me. All it says is are you listening?

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

They have almost a million followers and 6.7 million likes.

Speaker 1:

So they're making money off it by doing that too.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, oh yeah 6.7 million likes, so they're making money off it by doing that too. Oh yeah, oh yeah. These videos have 8 million views, 14 million views, 11 million views.

Speaker 1:

The weirdest one is there's like a house, like a haunted house. It shows like two big Nutter Butter cookies and a little bitty one walking into the house. Then it shows like is this the one? Yeah, Then it shows the inside of the house later as if it's like a haunted house and they're all dead. All the cookies are squished and peanut butter everywhere.

Speaker 2:

It looks like a murder scene.

Speaker 1:

It does. That is strange. It is. That's the music that you'll hear in this. That is bizarre. I don't know man, it's weird. I don't know it's crazy, but I don't know it's crazy, but they're not showing these on TV. They're TikTok only.

Speaker 2:

Hey, this one is covered for sensitive content.

The series aimed to remain faithful to the 1987 film. The show will follow a high-tech team collaborating with the police to introduce technology-advanced cyborg cop. Those were good.

Speaker 1:

That's weird. It is. It's kind of weird. Well, I think they're tying into the AI you know all the robots and stuff so they might as well bring it back.

Speaker 2:

So are they going to modernize it?

Speaker 1:

I guess so they're going to be faithful to the 1987 film. I'm sure the effects will be a whole lot better than they were back in the 80s.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

It should be pretty good, but they will be. And then I know, don't do this, disney.

Speaker 2:

Disney Plus has introduced a paid sharing program just like Netflix did in an attempt to crack down on password sharing. Extra charges for users outside of designated households is what that means for us.

Speaker 1:

No, like Netflix is trying to do A lot Netflix has done to us.

Speaker 2:

Yep and users can add one extra member for a fee.

Speaker 1:

And it's already up to, I think, $9.99. Yeah, which is cheap compared to some, but still come on.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but they're doing things like Netflix. Okay, you have to pay to have anybody extra on your account. Yes, plus, they come with ads. Now what's that about?

Speaker 1:

Yep making more money there.

Speaker 2:

And you can't share your password. No, I got it in two years last night.

Speaker 1:

I know, because you had to send me a text saying is this you? Yeah, and I lied and said yes, it's me.

Speaker 2:

I wonder if we're going to get in trouble for switching it back and forth so much.

Speaker 1:

I'm sure the Netflix police will pull up in a minute and knock on the door.

Speaker 2:

Oh I had to watch some of Nendez brothers.

Speaker 1:

I know I had to Was it good?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's really good.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, okay.

Speaker 2:

It's crazy how many episodes Nine, goodness I know they're hour each that's a lot. That's good.

Speaker 1:

Nine hours, nine hours. Yeah, I'm not investing that much when I already know how it ends. Oh, I am, of course you are Alright. 656.

Speaker 3:

Mornings with Barry and Hall here on Alabama's country giant WQSB.

Speaker 1:

Albertville Band. We're talking about Albertville High School Aggie Band, and joining us is Taylor Cash, the band director. Taylor, always a pleasure to have you with us. Good morning to you.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, good morning. Thank you so much for having me at this point.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, big weekend coming up and a little bit of cyber relief because the weather is looking better for Saturday.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, the weather looks a lot better. This Saturday we're hosting our marching band competition, the Northeast Alabama Marching Invitational. A week ago they said this hurricane was starting to form and we all just, oh my goodness, what are we going to do? That's our biggest fundraiser of the year, so thankfully it looks like we're going to be okay.

Speaker 1:

Man. This festival has grown into one of the biggest ones in the state. It's well done. You do a fantastic job because it's just a perfect setting. Albuquerque High School football stadium is gorgeous.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, we really have the perfect campus for it. We've got the two different fields for warm-ups. It all filters right to a beautiful stadium Aggie Stadium, vernon Wells Field. It's a perfect setup. We've got Jacksonville State again joining us this year and I always I tell everybody, if you've never seen jacksonville state in a stadium like ours, that's a little closer and more intimate than you're missing a treat.

Speaker 1:

So we're really excited oh, they're so loud too, they're so good yeah, right in your face so it's a special treat because you get to watch the high school bands. Then, like an added treat, they perform around five o, 5 o'clock, I believe. Is that right?

Speaker 4:

Yeah, 5 o'clock. It's a big deal for them. It's a big recruitment thing. Some students never get to see Jacksonville unless they're at an exhibition that they're at. We've got 16 local high school bands that are performing Jacksonville State's doing exhibition for us at 5 o'clock and then we'll do exhibition at the end of the night at 7.40.

Speaker 1:

Got you Now. The first band goes on around 11.20?

Speaker 4:

11.20 is our first band that gets us kicked off. I think that's Sylvania. It's at 11.20, and we go all day until awards at 8 o'clock.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and the awards. You don't want to miss those and you'll have the out-of of there in plenty of time to go home and watch football.

Speaker 4:

That's right. It is, as I said, an earlier night than it has been. Yeah, we have a professional announcer oh no, that carries us through the award ceremony.

Speaker 1:

I'll be there and no, I appreciate you asking me because you asked me what is it?

Speaker 4:

the 11th year of this uh, yeah, this is our 11th year. It's technically the 12th, but covid doesn't count, so 11 years that we've hosted it and it seems like the blink of an eye.

Speaker 1:

It's funny because the first year Taylor asked me I said I've never done this. I have no clue what I'm doing. So when it comes awards time, you stood next to me with your fingers showing me. It's like I'm in elementary, showing me exactly what to do.

Speaker 4:

I would point to you and say, okay, say it now. No, no, no, don't say that, that's it.

Speaker 1:

But it's an honor to do that because I love watching the bands. There are so many good bands around the state and didn't get to see Albertville perform again later in the night right before the awards. It's great because you have another great show this year.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, thanks so much. The show's really come together. It's been fun. But you know, for me it is nice see some of these high schools that we, through the football games, we really never get to see them. To see a lot of these schools, it's a really fun day 11-20 is when it starts Saturday morning.

Speaker 1:

Albertville High School football field Bands performing all day long and it's a treat. Bring the family, Kids love it. You've got stuff for the kids and all kinds of things going on I'm looking forward to it.

Speaker 4:

Thanks so much, Barry. We're looking forward to a great day.

Speaker 1:

All right, thanks, Taylor. If you need more details on it, call us here at WQSB. Barry and Holly on Alabama's Country Giant WQSB. It is time for the quote of the day and plus we've got something special coming up in just a few minutes. We've got Holly's jokes of the day coming up in about five minutes. So I know, I know kids you might say, mom, can I stay in the car just a few more minutes? You think that'll be okay?

Speaker 2:

I think so.

Speaker 1:

I'm trying to.

Speaker 2:

I'm fighting back a yawn you can't yawn on radio.

Speaker 1:

No, you're in mid yawn, it's like rule number 42.

Speaker 2:

You cannot yawn on radio, but sometimes it just happens.

Speaker 1:

First rule you try your best not to sneeze. Number two is pass gas.

Speaker 2:

I thought number one would be cuss words.

Speaker 1:

Wait, you decide I'm talking about bodily functions.

Speaker 2:

Oh, okay, yeah, cuss words. That's a gimme.

Speaker 1:

But you can't stop, but you try your best not to sneeze you can't sneeze. Well, you don't need to.

Speaker 2:

Well, I mean, you can't help, you can't.

Speaker 1:

Mid-talk and something happens and you want to sneeze and you have to hurry and talk or turn the mic off.

Speaker 2:

What if you're a loud sneezer, Because there's some people that can go?

Speaker 1:

too Well. Some people do it on purpose. Yeah, like you.

Speaker 2:

And then there's some people that go brah. They want the world to know it. Yeah, I think they're proud of it. Yeah, yeah, but anyway.

Speaker 1:

Anyway, oh, by the our student athletes of the week, you ready? Yep? Raylee Neal, who plays volleyball at Westbrook Christian School, and Connor Bates, who plays football at Spring Garden High School, you are the student athletes of the week. That means that you do great in the gym playing volleyball and great playing football, and you do great in the classroom with at least a 3.0 grade point average. And we're going to honor you by bringing you our beautiful student athlete trophy and station t-shirt and it's brought to you by Mike Richard's Automotive and Bring your Own Bidget Retail. And you also have your pictures on our Facebook page and our big billboard coming up any minute now. Now, are you ready for the quote of the day?

Speaker 2:

I'm ready.

Speaker 1:

What you got.

Speaker 2:

Pressure is a word that is misused in our vocabulary. When you start thinking of pressure, it's because you've started to think of failure.

Speaker 1:

That's a good sports tie-in, a good any kind of life tie-in, because you're right, getting ready for a big sports game. Sometimes you feel the pressure. But if you're feeling pressure this is from Tommy Lasorda, by the way, former baseball player and manager and that's so true because if you start thinking of pressure, that means you're not thinking confident. Be confident, think out there. We're going to go out there and win.

Speaker 1:

We're going to go out there and do this, I'm going to do everything, just right. But you're not thinking well, what if I fail? What if I mess up? What if I do this, which is common. But just try to think positive, because that's pressure. Pressure is when you begin thinking of failure. All right 721,. Don't forget, the jokes are coming up.

Speaker 3:

Here's my cherry pie sweet cherry pie.

Speaker 1:

But first a lot of food stories. How about the new 7-Up? It's called the Shirley Temple 7-Up. Now is that based on? Is 7-Up used in like the Shirley Temple drink? It's usually Sprott and grenadine, but 7-Up is close enough to Sprott, I guess. Well, this one has pomegranate and cherry soda and it's coming out for the holidays. So there's a new Shirley Temple 7-Up. It's really a 7-Up, and Stouffer's is introducing new shelf-stable mac and cheese. Now, under the frozen food section, where you buy your other boxed meals to make this one, you can make yourself some new versions of mac and cheese. One is called Supreme Shells and Cheese. This one comes with cheddar cheese and three cheeses. Then there's the other one that's just the Supreme Shells and Cheese. So if you like their frozen shells and cheese, the thought is you may like it a little more fresh. You make it yourself. So those are in stores now, that sounds good.

Speaker 1:

What else is going on?

Speaker 2:

Chips Ahoy is going big with the big chewy cookies that are now 2 1⁄2 ounces each. So these rival Grandma's cookies. Have you ever had one of those?

Speaker 1:

Yes, those are good. Yeah, they are.

Speaker 2:

They're that big. They're going to be available in Chewy Chips, Ahoy, Chocolatey Caramel and Chocolatey Brownie.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so they're giant cookies, they're over three times bigger than a regular size, so they're telling me that when I buy the entire bag of chocolate chips, that eating the entire bag is not enough. Maybe I want to just have this one big cookie instead.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, basically, yeah yeah, and then I'm excited for this one. Philadelphia unveils a cream cheese flavored frosting. It's the first ever refrigerated cream cheese frosting released by Philadelphia. I love cream cheese.

Speaker 1:

Yep and I love their cream cheese, so now there's a frosting made from Philadelphia.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you can put it on cupcake.

Speaker 1:

We will have to try that. Alright, are you ready? Get them warmed up. They've been waiting for these Holly's World Famous Jokes running a few minutes behind. So we're sorry. If we're going to make you late for school, we'll send you a note. So you've got three jokes today. You can take these to school, take them to work, or take them to ball games Maybe a tailgate party.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, Maybe the hit of the party you may be, let's judge.

Speaker 1:

Okay, go with number one.

Speaker 2:

Okay, number one.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Why can't you trust burritos?

Speaker 1:

Burritos. Why can't you trust burritos? Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2:

Because they always spill the beans. They spill the beans.

Speaker 1:

Wow, spill the beans. Okay, I hope that's okay, this is getting you warmed up now, Okay okay, okay, Okay number two. Give me number two here.

Speaker 2:

When does a joke?

Speaker 1:

Uh, uh.

Speaker 2:

Oh, no idea. When it becomes a parent.

Speaker 1:

A parent.

Speaker 2:

A parent, a parent, a parent, a parent. A little play.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so now this would be the big one.

Speaker 2:

The third one's always the best. Yes, this is a good one. Give us your third joke. Why does Snoop Dogg use an umbrella?

Speaker 1:

Why does Snoop Dogg use an umbrella?

Speaker 2:

Oh, no idea. Oh drizzle, why does Snoop?

Speaker 1:

Dogg use an umbrella.

Speaker 2:

I have no idea. Bo Drizzle, bo Drizzle, bo Drizzle that one is good, I'll give you that 728.

Speaker 3:

Wqsb Mornings with Barry and Holly. Mama's got a squeeze box and it never snooze at night.

Speaker 1:

Rachel is back in the room. Hello Rachel. Hello, good morning, welcome back, thank room. Hello Rachel, hello, good morning, welcome back. Thank you, I'm glad you're here. I guess you wonder why I called you this morning into the building.

Speaker 5:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

We need your help. Oh, no, seriously, we need to talk about something serious for a moment. Then we're going to get into knowledge nuggets, but not alone is something that's going to be starting coming up next week. Yes, and Power 107.5 is behind this and all three stations are behind this, but we need our listeners' help. And it's something special we're going to help support foster children in this area. Yes, so not alone is something new.

Speaker 5:

It is something new. Power for the Fosters.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 5:

And we are collecting items for them, different items each week. For example, this coming week will be duffel bags for the kids, and then we've got set items for the rest of the month of October.

Speaker 1:

So every week we'll be looking for different items. So let's talk about the first week again, starting Monday. Now duffel bags. What's the thing? Why do we want duffel bags? Explain the reasoning behind this.

Speaker 5:

Well, a lot of the children, when they're picked up, they don't have a bag with their personal items and clothing and things like that. So we feel the duffel bags will help them, you know, when they're pulled out of their homes, to feel a little bit more like they're important, Sure, and give them a little bit of comfort that they have something of their own Gotcha.

Speaker 1:

So that makes sense.

Speaker 2:

We're giving them something other than a trash bag to carry their most personal belongings in.

Speaker 1:

So let's give them an example. Like other items throughout the month we're going to be looking for like one week, first week is duffel bags. Some of these are very cheap too. You can find some duffel bags for a low, low price, so we encourage you to go by and pick up one and drop it off here at the studios. That's right, and we'll be collecting these and giving those to Not Alone and like one week. We're doing like what are some of the other weeks.

Speaker 2:

Hygiene One week is hygiene. One week is pajamas. They have a shortage of pajamas Because when they get these kids sometimes it's in the middle of the night and they have nothing to dress them in. Another week is shoes. Shoes zero to 18 years, so literally any size shoes. We ask that they're new. They don't have to be the best of the best, but if you want to donate, whatever you want to donate, you might have some in your closet, but you can drop it off here at WQSB, because Power 1075 is in the same building as we are and so dropping it off here will be at the same place.

Speaker 1:

And I'd say, if you're listening in Etowah County, you're welcome to drop it off by our WKXX Studios and we'll bring them up here. But in case you're in Etowah County, you can do that. Yes, and we'll be sure to get it up here. But it's amazing to me how many and sadly that so many foster children are in this area that are affected and sometimes you forget about the little things it helps make their lives a little better because they're going through enough as it is anyway. So we just try to do this and thank you to Not Alone. Some area churches are also helping out with this. So it's going to be a big deal through the month of October.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah and this, so it's going to be a big deal through the month of october. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and you can go to our website for more details. We'll have the different details. We'll be telling you every week what items we're looking for. So starting monday it's duffel bags, so just make a note of that, middle note of that I think it's a great thing, definitely yeah and we'll give you more details on that coming up, but first it's time for holly's knowledge nuggets things we need to learn about today.

Speaker 1:

What have you got for us?

Speaker 2:

All right. Did you know that the average person gets a perfect night's sleep about 130 times a year?

Speaker 5:

Only 130?.

Speaker 1:

Mm-mm.

Speaker 2:

How about?

Speaker 1:

zero.

Speaker 2:

Mm-mm, who you know. I've never understood the people that wake up and they're like, ah, like those commercials. I'm so refreshed, refreshed, yeah up, and they're like Like those commercials, I'm so refreshed. And like birds are chirping and like animals are following around as they do their household chores. That's not me, those commercials kill me.

Speaker 1:

No, she's waking up in bed and the birds are singing. Their sheets are clean. Yeah, and I don't know whether it's like for Everything's wonderful, is it for? Laundry detergent or female items. I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I don't know, I don't know. I know that when I wake up it's usually in a sweat and my sheets are all tangled up around me and I'm just glad I sleep alone.

Speaker 1:

Me too. I wake up with a leg cramp and my left leg is killing me.

Speaker 2:

Why are you waking up with leg cramps? I?

Speaker 1:

have no idea. Low in potassium yeah, you need to drink pickle juice. Sure.

Speaker 2:

Or eat some bananas.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, eat some bananas and not pee pickle juice on the bed. I don't think so.

Speaker 2:

Don't pee on the bed. Well, drink pickle juice.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to do it.

Speaker 2:

I'm just about to get there. What about you?

Speaker 5:

Rachel, do you ever get a good night's sleep? I have to wear a CPAP, otherwise I quit breathing in the middle of the night.

Speaker 1:

So if I don't wear it, I would affect that completely.

Speaker 5:

Yes, it would, you'd get one night's sleep.

Speaker 2:

It'd be an eternal night's sleep.

Speaker 1:

But 130 a year. I'm jealous of those people, that's like half a year man. Because I really don't know, honestly, the last time I had a good night's sleep.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, see, I have trouble going to sleep because my mind is like, yeah, I do too.

Speaker 5:

You know it doesn't stop.

Speaker 2:

I don't know how to turn that switch off.

Speaker 5:

I don't either I have trouble going to sleep and then staying asleep. That's what.

Speaker 2:

Barry said.

Speaker 1:

Barry said he wakes up like every couple of hours or every hour Every about 30 minutes on the clock it hours, or every hour Every about 30 minutes on the clock. It's like I cannot sleep Every 30 minutes, at least Last week. Yeah, this week's been horrible.

Speaker 2:

And it started when, when I met you, no, no, you said you've never had a good sleep. It honestly started when my son passed.

Speaker 1:

I've never really slept good during the morning show because I'm always paranoid, I'm going to oversleep Me too. But when three years ago it's like 30 minutes at a time, I'm lucky.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

I don't know why the brain just won't shut down. I don't know why my brain won't shut down. I refuse to take any kind of medicine because I know I'll never wake up thin.

Speaker 2:

I know and we've got to be up so early we would be so groggy the next day. Have you ever taken a Benadryl and then you?

Speaker 1:

wake up the next day and you're just like hungover yeah.

Speaker 2:

I hate that feeling, so no sleep medicine for me. Okay, all right. There are two jobs where 95% of the workforce is female.

Speaker 1:

See if Rachel knows this, can you take a guess? Two jobs.

Speaker 5:

Two jobs 95% are female 95%.

Speaker 1:

And you'll understand when she gives you the answer. And I agree with this.

Speaker 5:

I'm going to say the makeup counter at the department store.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that is a good one, that is a good one, but nope, that's not one of them.

Speaker 2:

One of them is a kindergarten teacher, okay, and the other is a dental hygienist have you ever had?

Speaker 5:

a male no I haven't either.

Speaker 1:

I don't think.

Speaker 5:

I have. Those are two good ones yeah.

Speaker 2:

I've never had a male clean my teeth Huh, and I've never had a. I've never seen a male kindergarten teacher. I'm sure they're out there and we probably have some that are listeners, but I've never seen it.

Speaker 1:

That's a good point. So roughly over 9 out of 10 are female.

Speaker 2:

And see if you can guess this one 34% of people have made this fashion mistake at work.

Speaker 5:

Oh, what do you think?

Speaker 1:

I have something too revealing no, no, there's, something is revealed, but it's not too much of your body, it's something else that's revealed, like a price tag wearing the price tag still attached to your clothes 34.

Speaker 2:

I've done that before you ever done that, Rachel. Yes, I have. I've done that too, I'll look out for my girls. I'm a girl's girl. There's not a lot of us females that work here. It's predominantly men. When I see if Chandler walks by and has a tag, I'm like, hey girl, let me get that tag for you. I'm not one of those to just let you go all day with a sticker on your back that says extra extra large Guys would never do that. Yeah, see exactly.

Speaker 1:

Like hey, Mike, you got a tag on your shirt.

Speaker 2:

You wouldn't tell him.

Speaker 1:

Well, not that Like hey Dale, you got Cheetos in your beard, no, I would never tell him, not even that.

Speaker 5:

Just let them walk around like that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, like Christy the Clown.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but no, I'm with you.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I've done it before. Yeah, yep.

And it looks like it's almost not even real, like a toy, but it's been very popular for the past couple of weeks. But now there's a new animal that's kind of given some competition. Have you seen Pesto, the nine-month-old king penguin?

Speaker 2:

I'm looking at it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, pesto is cute. It's shocking viewers with its impressive size. It's a baby chick, what they call baby penguins. It's at the Melbourne Aquarium, weighs 49 pounds, and it's so cute because it's fuzzy. Yeah, are they all like this when they're born? I'm not sure.

Speaker 2:

I mean my kids were, but I don't know about penguins.

Speaker 1:

Your kids were fuzzy.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it says that the baby weighs 49 pounds. The mother only weighs 24 pounds.

Speaker 1:

Bigger than his mom and it's only a baby. It's very cute, and now people can't get enough of seeing it at the aquarium.

All right, it's 8 18, we'll have some morning trivia coming up wqsb mornings with barry and holly not arrested, but a photographer, and I'm confused.

Speaker 1:

Is it a lady or is it a guy that did this? I'm reading the story. It doesn't make it clear. It says a photographer at chittim elementary school in chesape, Virginia, was escorted off campus for allegedly asking to eat a child's soul. What when they were taking school photos. Parents said the photographer made her son cry while he was getting his school photo taken. The quote is I know people are trying to say oh, she's just joking, so I guess that does mean it's a female photographer.

Speaker 2:

I mean, I guess she said oh, oh, she's just joking, so I guess that does mean it's a female photographer, I mean, I guess it was.

Speaker 1:

She said oh, she's just joking, it was just funny. But she says no, that is not funny. The school sent out an email notifying parents of the situation, but did not name the photographer. In the messaging um they said they employed the photographer who they've launched an internal investigation on what was up with this. But as the child apparently sat down for a photo to be made, the photographer basically said I want to take your picture and I want to eat your soul.

Speaker 2:

Okay, it's one thing to be like I'm going to get you, I'm going to get you.

Speaker 1:

Yes, you better smile yeah.

Speaker 2:

That I'm going to eat your soul.

Speaker 1:

That's crazy, that's sick.

Speaker 2:

That's crazy, that's sick, that's weird. What goes through people's minds.

Speaker 1:

To say something like that. If one of your kids come home and told you that, what would be your first move? How fast would you be at the school?

Speaker 2:

I wouldn't be at the school, I would be at this person's house, I'd find where they live and then I would literally eat their soul. That's crazy. I don't know how you eat a soul, but I would Google it on the way. And then deal with the consequences later.

Speaker 1:

That poor child now is going to be scared to have a picture made anymore.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, well, I would be, too.

Speaker 1:

Not knowing what the next one's going to say.

Speaker 2:

What did she say? I'm going to get your soul, I'm going to eat it. Or was she like you, better smile, or I'm going to eat your soul.

Speaker 1:

I'm not sure I don't know Either way, it's wrong.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, who.

Speaker 1:

I'm glad the person's been sent home. Let go Morning's animal story. How about these monkeys? An Indian girl who was lured into an abandoned building by a grown man for I'm sure not good things. She claims she was saved by a group of monkeys. Now the child says the monkeys rushed towards the man when he attempted to assault her. They heard noises, heard her scream and she says had it not been for the monkeys who ran towards the man and he quickly left, nobody knows what would have happened, but probably not anything good wow, how do you?

Speaker 1:

think the monkeys knew um they say, monkeys are intuitive it's like they knew something was happening here that was wrong. Let's help yeah, I mean, they are lifesavers so even the mom says I have no idea how they knew this, but I I'm just so thankful because the girl, the guy basically grabbed her, taken her into the building and that's when the monkeys jumped in and saved the day.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and I mean, who knows what this guy would have done to?

Speaker 1:

her, you hate to even think.

Speaker 2:

No, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Because we've had a couple of weird stories in our world. It's just the world is. It's a scary place. Well, it says that he was attempting to assault her when the monkeys got there, so they knew something was up and they heard something was wrong and they thought hmm, okay, this is not supposed to be the way it is, even though they're humans. We don't know what's happening here, but we're going to fix this.

Speaker 2:

And they did. The monkeys need a prize? Yes, they do.

Speaker 1:

They need an award, it's 844 coming up in just minutes. Nascar and math don't go away.
