What happens when DirecTV buys Dish Network and Sling TV for a mere dollar? We break down this industry shake-up and its implications, alongside sharing our relief at bidding farewell to Charter/Spectrum. As we chat about the states with the highest and lowest IQs, and reminisce our own experiences with IQ tests and algebra struggles, we touch on the dreaded "Sunday scaries" and how fortunate we feel to genuinely enjoy our jobs. Our quirky new studio decoration, Sam Mountain Sam the ring-tailed lemur, also gets a special mention, quickly becoming a beloved part of our setup.

Speaker 2:Let me tell you about this. I don't like to brag on myself, and I don't usually, but this was a big morning and I was sitting back there about 5.15ish Uh-huh, and got a call from the lady she was on her way in to help us hook up our camera this morning. Uh-huh, because he's engineering this whole massacre. He hey man, I need some help. I said what's wrong? He said I've got some car issues, some vehicle problems, and I need some help. I said where are you? I'll be right there, yeah, so luckily he was just down the road, just down the road which, if they were by advertising, I'd tell them where I went.
Speaker 1:But he was just down the road yeah.
Speaker 3:You down the road.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you don't buy advertising you don't get mentioned, you don't get a free plug. So I pulled up and he had had some vehicle problems and so I had, like what 45 minutes to be able to pick him up and get back here, and when I got there was worse than I thought. He didn't bother to tell me he had like two flat tires, two, two flat tires oh my god I changed two tires. This is a jeep too.
Speaker 3:I was talking about this is not an easy vehicle to change. Oh, I know I drive a Jeep.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So you should know. Well, you never change a tire, Well, no, never. So I changed two flat tires. Pretty much had to rebuild the engine because the motor was shot, so I had to get under the hood and had to rebuild the engine. Lee lost consciousness so I did CPR what? Because he was panicked. It's rude.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, no, no, it's rude, no see, by the way just a quick update because this is important. Sorry to interrupt your heroics, but To be continued. No, we are live on Facebook.

Speaker 3:So anyway, I brought him back. You rebuilt the motor.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, I did some chest compression to brought him back. Oh my gosh, well it got rough. So I said you should have called Holly and he said well, no, he didn't call. I had my music, I had my music connected and I had my notifications turned on silent always.
Speaker 3:What were you listening to on the way in Taylor Swift duh?
Speaker 2:Okay, so sorry to leave it. Taylor Swift means more to Holly than your life does.
Speaker 3:No, no, no, no, no. If he would have called, I said, call me next time because it'll interrupt my music and I'll be like, okay, so you had to rebuild an engine, change two tires and you did all that CPR.
Speaker 2:And I still got here by about 535, about 20 minutes, wow, yeah.
Speaker 3:I mean, that's impressive.
Speaker 2:Well, you do what you do to make the show happen.
Speaker 3:Well, we're making it happen.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so you seem to have a little doubt in your eyes there.
Speaker 3:There's no doubt. There's no doubt there. What? There's no doubt there. No, I'm just going along with it. You did a great job this morning. You know, what really freaked me out is that we had planned on going live October 1st for a while now. And I walk out and you're getting in the car and I'm like hold on, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Speaker 2:I'm going to rescue a co-worker. Okay, be totally honest, I just went over and picked him up and brought him to work.
Speaker 3:I didn't do a co-worker. Okay, be totally honest. I just went over and picked him up, brought him to work. Can you get out of here? Oh, okay, his wife's gonna pick him up.
Speaker 2:Good, okay, good, so she's there for him. You just pretty much abandoned.
Speaker 3:You're out trying to find an energy drink and I went to lehigh yesterday we had talked about that. I wanted to try the alani News.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And Chandler brought me one and it was so good. And then I went to the gas station, like down the road from me. They had like this magical selection of like ten flavors.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And they were closed. So I went to like six gas stations this morning so while y'all were all out changing motors and CPR and I was looking for energy drinks, but that's more changing motors and CPR.
Speaker 2:I was looking for energy drinks. That's more on top of your priority list because you had to go Facebook Live For those listening. You can actually watch the show now.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you can watch the show. Good morning Tina. Good morning Jennifer. Good morning Amelie. We've got some comments coming in. You guys are free to interact with us as we're live. We would love for you to.

Speaker 3:No, we can't do that.
Speaker 2:But our microphones will still be live.
Speaker 3:Well, it's like a legal thing. Yeah, we just can't do it legally.
Speaker 2:So HR has. We've had numerous meetings or I have about when we turn off the mics, what to say and what not to say. So we've had many meetings, okay.
Speaker 3:I've had meetings With me saying, Barry, watch what you say.
Speaker 2:And Rachel has come in here and had meetings and said we cannot afford lawsuits, but it's going to be okay, we can't afford a lawsuit, no, just watch what you're doing then, but thank you to Lee for getting this going.

Speaker 3:Yeah, we appreciate you listening. Yeah, we love you guys listening and we love this new adventure. So it's really exciting because we've never had the element of video. We've gone live before and showed guests, but we've never, ever in the history of WQSB, went live for a whole, entire show.
Speaker 2:This has been a dream of yours since the first day you came into the room.
Speaker 3:Went live for a whole entire show. This has been a dream of yours since the first day you came into the room. Yep, this is my dream and my goal for the morning show since I started.
Speaker 2:And what we're going to be doing down the road is adding things that you can only like contests you can play.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You can only play if you're watching the Facebook. Yes, we'll be doing these. When we're not on the air, like when music's playing or's playing, you'll get the chance to talk to us and win some stuff.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah.
Speaker 2:Down the road.
Speaker 3:You're going to win some stuff. We should do one this morning.
Speaker 2:We'll talk on break what we should do, but first time to get down to business. You ready, yeah, I'm ready. Brand new month, october the 1st Unbelievable, so Unbelievable. So Halloween is what? 30 days away, I know, and it's a big day today. You know they moved National Taco Day from October 4th to today so that we could celebrate Taco Tuesday.
Speaker 3:That's very fitting. It should have been moved, so I'm glad, taco.
Speaker 2:Tuesday Are we going to celebrate. Yeah, so from here on out, every first Tuesday in October will be National Taco Day.
Speaker 3:Oh, national Taco Day.
Speaker 2:National Taco Day, a lot of the taco places are celebrating, but really I looked at the list, the only one that's really in this listing area is Taco Bell that's celebrating today.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so they're celebrating National Taco Day and what they're doing is they're offering customers $1 tacos for 10 hours. They're doing this and it's going to be a different taco every hour. How do you know when to go? 10 hours they're doing this and it's going to be a different taco every hour, every hour, for a dollar. How do you know when to go?
Speaker 2:There's a list, I will find the list. There's a list showing you which taco, but still a dollar taco, it don't matter what it is.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's going to be worth it.
Speaker 2:Anyway, but you have to use it through your app, I think oh they always get you that way. Yeah, they do they want you to download those apps. Yeah, so we usually have Taco Tuesday anyway, here at the station. A bunch of us go eat.
Speaker 3:Well, we also have Taco Wednesdays, Taco Thursdays.
Speaker 2:Yeah, every day is Taco Day.
Speaker 3:Every day is Taco Day.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because of the money we make. That's about all we can afford. Yeah, well Is a taco, you know Okay.
Speaker 3:I've got some sad. Major League Baseball's all-time hit king has died at the age of 83.
Speaker 2:Now were you a baseball fan at all. Do you know Pete Rose? No, oh.
Speaker 3:He's a big deal. I didn't know, but I knew he was a big deal because of all the comments that I saw. Yeah, and for two reasons.
Speaker 2:One, because a great baseball player, all-time hit king. But what overshadowed that was the fact that, after his career was over, they, after his career was over, they found out he was gambling on some of the games and he was pretty much never allowed to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame, even though they tried and tried and tried to make this happen.
Speaker 2:So now I see this big movement to put him in the Hall of Fame now that he's dead. I don't think I would, because the thrill would have been if he'd been alive and he could have enjoyed it. Now, you don't know, you'll never know. He just wanted to enjoy it while he was alive.
Speaker 3:Now it's not going to happen. Yeah, well, so I don't think I would change anything. I do you think he deserves to be in it?
Speaker 2:because, yeah, I think he made a mistake yes, he did oh yeah, one of the best baseball players of all time, but, yes, he made a mistake. But you know, um, I know rules are rules. Yeah, sometimes you, I think maybe you need to change them a little bit for certain cases, but I think, uh, but I don't know. Yeah, they're not listening to me who's not?
Speaker 3:nobody, certainly not major league baseball well, listen, yesterday I was talking to a friend, yeah, and the friend asked me have you ever been completely out of toilet paper at your house?
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 3:And you had to send your kid to the neighbor's house to bum a roll, grab a roll of toilet paper. That's an emergency. I know I was like no, I've never done that before. I wouldn't just send my kids.
Speaker 2:Get next door to get the roll of toilet paper.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I knew that and she said me neither. I just thought to embarrass my kids. That's good. That's good, it's 616.
Speaker 2:WQSB.
Speaker 1:Mornings with Barry and Holly Hello.
Speaker 2:He's going to be co-hosting the upcoming CMA Awards show again.
Speaker 3:Oh, with who?
Speaker 2:With Peyton Manning and Lainey Wilson. Peyton.
Speaker 3:Manning. Yeah, that seems random.
Speaker 2:He's been doing it the last couple of years. They're good friends. Peyton is all over the place as far as sports entertainment whatever, and they've added Laney Wilson a third host?
Speaker 3:Yeah, that'll be good.
Speaker 2:So we'll give you more details coming up at 625. It's going to be a nice day again. Nice day yesterday, Nice walking day and today it's kind of the same. There's a slight chance you can see a pop-up shower later. A little bit of fog out there this morning, but not much. 81 will be the high today, Going to be a partly sunny day. Overall a good-looking day. Since you've been gone.
Speaker 1:Since you've been gone.
Speaker 2:Since you've been gone, a lot of stuff going on. We'll be getting a lot of entertainment news, contest news, more stuff and the fact that we now you can watch us Facebook Live here in the studio.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we're Facebook Live, and I think that's probably one of our biggest news segments today.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and we have decorators already coming in. They've already decorated some. We have a ring-tailed lemur.
Speaker 3:My mom said that when we were having video problem cameras that maybe you should try to do CPR on the camera. So she's watching, so she's watching.
Speaker 2:Well, oh, she's watching.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she said maybe Barry needs to do CPR on the camera.
Speaker 2:So she believed my story.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she was, yeah she knows, I can. All right, let me tell you about this.
Speaker 2:So what's going on?
Speaker 3:Yesterday, DirecTV announced that they are getting Dish Network and Sling TV for $1.
Speaker 2:Okay, so Direct is buying those two companies for $1. For $1. But there's a catch.
Speaker 3:But they will also be taking on about $9.75 billion of debt from Dish's parent company, echo Star, so you can have it for $1, but, there's $9 billion in debt.
Speaker 2:It would be like you selling me your Jeep. Say, okay, I'll sell you the Jeep for a dollar. Say, okay, how much do you own it? Oh, $9.7 billion. You got to pay that off too, yeah, so DirecTV is getting rid of it, so this shall be gone then.
Speaker 3:I guess so.
Speaker 2:DirecTV will now own all the stuff like that.
Speaker 3:But I'm going to tell you, I think we're moving towards an age where we're going to see some of these cable networks go away, because we have the YouTube TV and we have different options.
Speaker 2:I just wish the streaming services would put Jack and the Price on us all the time.
Speaker 3:I'm just glad I don't have to deal with Charter anymore. Yeah, you know, yeah.
Speaker 2:Because Spectrum rectum.
Speaker 3:I'm with you. You're exactly charter anymore. Yeah, you know, yeah, because spectrum rectum, exactly right. An iq study has found the states with the highest and lowest iqs. Oh no, massachusetts residents have the highest iq oh, so they're the smartest massachusetts is number one and then new hampshire is number two. On the other end of the spectrum, Mississippi is in 50th place.
Speaker 2:Oh, so they have the lowest IQ. I get it Because it's got to get old having to spell your state. I mean, that's one of the hardest words to spell.
Speaker 3:No, it's not.
Speaker 2:It's.
Speaker 3:M-I-S. Crooked letter, crooked letter I. Crooked letter. Crooked letter I. Humpback, humpback I.
Speaker 2:See, that's a lot. Yeah, that wears your brain out having to spell your state, yeah, so they're the lowest IQ of each state.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they're the lowest IQ.
Speaker 2:Where's Alabama rank 45. Oh oh, oh.
Speaker 3:Number 45.
Speaker 2:We don't have a lot to brag about then.
Speaker 3:No, we don't.
Speaker 2:So have you ever had an IQ test?
Speaker 3:I think I took one online one time. Yeah, not like an official one. Yeah, have you, I have. What did you score?
Speaker 2:It was wrong. Oh okay, I ranked lower than Mississippi, basically. But it's these stupid things that give you these boxes with dots in them. You've got to say, okay, you get a. I don't know.
Speaker 3:Is it like math equations and stuff, some it's like a little bit of everything is in there. Okay.
Speaker 2:That's way too much.
Speaker 3:I don't know.
Speaker 2:I've never used any of that stuff in my radio career about math algebra ever.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, there's some math involved, but it's more on the sales side. Yeah, and I'm excited about that because I can't do math at all. No, like I was the little girl crying at the kitchen table when her daddy was yelling at her why don't you get this? Yeah, and I got traumatized and then I just never learned math.
Speaker 2:Let me tell you a true story. Okay, when I was in school I was so bad in algebra I hated algebra Mm-hmm that the, as my senior year, the algebra teacher in, mr Mitchell. I said okay, what you got. He said, if you'll wash my car once, like every couple of weeks, I'll let you pass. I'm serious worth it.
Speaker 3:Yes, it was.
Speaker 2:It was tough in the winter time, but that's true, well, so when I got my report card it was like a d plus or something, but didn't care passed. Yeah, I still don't know, but I can watch the heck out of the car.
Speaker 3:Well, do you get the Sunday scaries?
Speaker 2:No, have you ever heard of?
Speaker 3:this. I've talked to you about this before.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3:I've told you about Sunday scaries. I don't get them because I really like my job, like I really I'm not. That sounds kind of boastful. I enjoy what I do. I love what I do.
Speaker 2:The only thing I dread is getting up early after a good weekend. Then you have to get up early on Monday morning. There are some people who you're right, they dread Sunday afternoons because they know that they've only got a few hours left or they have to go back to work.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm glad I don't have a job that I dread to go back to.
Speaker 3:Me too, oh my gosh. And I have had those jobs where, like, I've cried on the way home from work, just knowing that I have to go back the next day.
Speaker 2:But you were telling me that there's a lot of people out there, according to a new survey, that they start dreading the weekend around almost about 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Speaker 3:Yep, yep. A survey of 2,000 said that they start to feel anxious and dread at 3.54 pm.
Speaker 2:That's the average thing, very specific, yeah start to feel anxious and dread at 3.54pm Very specific, I get it 3.54pm. Because you've had maybe a good day at church, a good afternoon. Then you said, okay, the day is winding down, I've got to go to work tomorrow. I've got to go to school tomorrow.
Speaker 3:And 23% say Sundays are harder to enjoy because of the impending doom of the work week, I agree, but luckily we don't have to do that yeah. We could use more money.
Speaker 2:Don't be a hater, we just enjoy the job. Yeah, yeah we could use a lot more money. Yeah, like any little bit, please, yeah Because if you look in the room and you're watching, this isn't actually water. I can't even afford Dr Pepper. I'm so poor, I can't even afford it. You just put water in your Dr Pepper can, just like you do with too. I'm so broke.
Speaker 3:Oh no, Do you have ice soup for?
Speaker 2:dinner. Yeah, I figured. Yeah, it's 631.
Speaker 1:Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's Country Giant WQSB.
Speaker 2:You're telling me what I've been thinking. You told me to think about this one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and.
Speaker 2:I'm going to have to vote in a few minutes and see which I guess action hero gets the most votes.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we're going to go over that, but what's going on today? So Luke Bryan, peyton Manning and Lainey Wilson have been named as co-hosts for the 2024 CMA Awards.
Speaker 2:You know I'm happy for Lainey Wilson because she worked hard for about was it 10, 11, 12 years.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Worked her rear end off in Nashville trying to get a song. Couldn't get a song on the radio, but finally she had the right song, got the right people behind her. Now look at all the stuff she's doing. Now she's co-hosting a show that she said she used to sit in the living room when she was a kid, dreaming of being on it one day.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Now she's won awards on it. Now she's hosting the award show.
Speaker 3:Yep, it's her first time hosting, but it's Luke Bryan's fourth time hosting.
Speaker 2:Luke does a good job.
Speaker 3:Yep, it's going to be on November 20th at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. It'll air on ABC.
Speaker 2:That'd be fun to go to.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I've been to one award show in my lifetime, really CMT. It used to be called the Flameworthy Awards. It's when they do their best videos of the year. They've changed names like ten times. We stationed at the Senate bus full of people up there years ago and that was so cool to see how they do that behind the scenes.
Speaker 3:What about your friend Glenn Glenn?
Speaker 2:Yes, he's from Nashville.
Speaker 3:He goes to every award show. He's a professional seat filler, so let me squirrel for a moment.
Speaker 2:Just for a moment. Okay, when we go to Country Radio Seminar in Nashville, radio people go, but Glenn, a guy from Canada. I met Glenn about 15 years ago. He's from Canada, from Canada. Wow, glenn, a guy from Canada. I met Glenn about 15 years ago.
Speaker 3:He's from Canada.
Speaker 2:From Canada, wow, and he's a wheat farmer from Canada. But he knows a guy. Who knows a guy. Who knows a guy that gets him a ticket and gets him permission to go to CRS and he goes just mainly to see the artists and take their pictures and just get autographs.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he's there just to have a good time.
Speaker 2:And his side job. He's a professional seat filler at award shows. He goes to all the award shows and wears a tux, nice looking. Because if anybody ever at an award show you're sitting in the audience and say Lainey Wilson wins something or goes up to perform While she's gone, they don't want to have an empty seat in the crowd so they have to bring somebody in there to sit in her seat. So when they scan around the camera there's no empty seats.
Speaker 3:And there's Glenn. Yeah, there's no empty seats and there's glenn yeah, there's glenn.
Speaker 2:He's a professional seat filler. They'll say glenn, get over there and fill that seat, and him and about 10 other people, that's their job, that's the coolest job.
Speaker 3:I would love to have that job yeah, but anyway, that's another story yeah, anyway, today's show sources are saying that the real reason hoda kotb is leaving the today show is not completely accurate. She says that she's leaving to spend more time with her kids.
Speaker 2:Right, I can see that.
Speaker 3:Sources now say that her recent salary negotiations didn't go her way. She wanted an increase in her $20 million yearly salary and was turned down.
Speaker 2:Well, wouldn't we all?
Speaker 3:So she is saying yeah, I want to go spend time with my kids part of it's true but she also didn't get what she wanted. She didn't get a raise hoda, come on now.
Speaker 2:You make 20 million a year and you're saying that's not enough.
Speaker 3:That's enough, sister. What do you need?
Speaker 2:you give me one of those checks I know and I'll be on later yeah, yeah, we have a tv here in the studio 20 million, million, and she wants more.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she wants more. I wonder how much more she asked for to be turned down.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 3:She's been there for what? Six, seven years.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she replaced Matt Lauer when he screwed up.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's another story too.
Speaker 2:To mark John Wick's 10-year anniversary. John Wick movies. Those were some of the best movies Me and Reid both we loved to watch. He got me I didn't see the first one until later. He said you've got to watch John Wick, one of the best action movies you'll ever see.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's my mom and dad's favorite movie too. John Wick seen the third one um no, I haven't seen the third one you've got to see it, did he?
Speaker 2:die well, according to the story now in the movie, they make you believe he did okay.
Speaker 3:But what you're about to tell the people maybe he didn't okay, the screenings will also include an exclusive preview of the spinoff movie ballerina she was one of the characters in john wick three, much like john wick action star.
Speaker 2:And now, uh, her movie includes John Wick in the movie.
Speaker 3:Yes, it's going to include Keanu Reeves returning as John Wick in some form.
Speaker 2:They're not saying what they're not saying. It's a dream sequence, but it should be him being alive, which makes you wonder now Will there be a John Wick 4 down the road, if he's?
Speaker 3:not dead, I don't know. You think they can do it again.
Speaker 2:I don't know that I would I love it, but part three was so good.
Speaker 3:So in a recent survey, the most tough-as-nails human action movie heroes, john Wick ranked number one.
Speaker 2:I agree with this.
Speaker 3:I think so yeah, it was just bad.
Speaker 2:So we want the listeners and the people viewing to give us a name. Yeah, because they've given us the top ten human action movie heroes, which they say human because it knocks out the Supermans and the. Batmans and the X-Men and all those. It's just the humans who like John Wick.
Speaker 3:Yeah, nobody was superpowers.
Speaker 2:He was voted the best action hero.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, he was. John Rambo came in second. Okay, die Hard. John McClane came in third.
Speaker 2:Good choice. Indiana Jones came in fourth I like him, but he's more of a. He's got the whip. I think John Wick could take him out in a second.
Speaker 3:I do too. He could, and so could James Bond.
Speaker 2:James Bond. He's too busy with the women. Oh, that's true. Now Jason Bourne is number six. Jason Bourne, why is he so far down the list? I'd like to see him and John Wick go hand to hand. Oh my gosh, that would be a good fight.
Speaker 3:That would be a good fight. Yeah, Number seven was Rocky Balboa.
Speaker 2:Good choice.
Speaker 3:Mm-hmm Number eight from the Taken movies Brian Mills.
Speaker 2:Oh, Liam Neeson.
Speaker 3:Oh, oh, his special special skills.
Speaker 2:Oh, those are good movies, I Will Find you. Yeah, those are good movies.

Speaker 2:So we did put something out that people voted. Who do you think is the best human action movie?
Speaker 3:hero ever.
Speaker 2:Yeah, in hand-to-hand combat who would win when all is said and done, yeah, so I would vote john wick.

Speaker 2:Because we want you to vote on this. There's the survey the most tough as nails human action movie heroes. John Wick was number one, then there was John Rambo, and then John McClane how about all these Johns, I know? And then John McClane.
Speaker 3:How about all these Johns? I know I was about to say that.
Speaker 2:Then John McClane from Die Hard, and then Indiana Jones and then James Bond were the top five. I'm still confused on why Jason Bourne because I love the Bourne movies did not make the top five. I don't know, man, I think he could take James Bond, yeah probably. I made the post, though, so we mention something we missed this. We were busy talking and the phone lines were busy trying to call in a birthday. But happy anniversary to David and Marquita Shaw.
Speaker 3:Happy anniversary.
Speaker 2:All right, it's almost joke time. Are you ready? I'm ready, all right. We were working yesterday. You told me that we needed to work on. Maybe use some special music for your joke.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because we don't have an intro song. We have an intro music for pretty much everything. Yeah, because we don't have an intro song, we have intro music for pretty much everything. Now, my question is will Facebook allow this to play, since we're now streaming the show live right here? No, so what will they do? Will they shut us down? What will they do?
Speaker 3:I don't know.
Speaker 2:Let's just see what happens, but there's some pretty good music here. Here's Holly's official joke intro.

Speaker 3:Okay, okay, okay. Why do ducks have tails?
Speaker 2:Why do ducks have tails? I have no idea. Wow, this must be good. To hide their butt quacks, that's a good one. You sure you want to go with it. My mom is not going to like that one.
Speaker 3:We should have quit on that one.
Speaker 2:I think that's good.
Speaker 3:Why can't you hear a pterodactyl go into the bathroom?
Speaker 2:Why can't you hear a pterodactyl go into the bathroom? No idea.
Speaker 3:Because it has a silent P oh P-T.
Speaker 2:Yeah, got you A silent P Yep, got you. Okay, one more, the last one. This is a big one, I got one more.
Speaker 3:I got one more. Why don't seagulls live by the bay? Okay?
Speaker 2:why don't seagulls live by the bay? Okay, why don't seagulls?
Speaker 3:live by the bay? I have no idea, because then they would be bagels, bagels, bagels.
Speaker 2:Bagels, bagels, bagels.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:All right, pretty good. Now we can't leave without the quote of the day, right?
Speaker 3:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:So have you got us a good one today? I do, I do.
Speaker 3:People only see the decisions you made, not the choices you had.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's good, that's deep, that's very good. That is good, yeah, because sometimes I may say the finished product. Okay, I decided to do this, but there's a lot of thinking going into a lot of things Like what we do here. We go at different scenarios and different things and we finally choose one. So if you got to see what we actually had to choose from, different things we could do.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think it would surprise you. Just like in life, oh yeah, absolutely. Even like going live on Facebook. Yeah, you see the decision that we made to go live, right, and you see us on camera. But there were so many hoops we had to jump through to get here and things we had to plan and line up Yep. And we had to jump through to get here and things we had to plan and line up yep. And we had a lot of choices we had to make. Do we, do we invest? Do we do we even do it? Do we? Will people even watch us or want to watch?
Speaker 2:we still don't know. There's a lot watching this morning. We appreciate that yeah, yeah but we're not sure. We're not just going to continue how it's going to go, we don't know. It's like every decision in life yeah, people only knew the choices you had until you finally picked one and made that decision. Mm-hmm, yeah, that's true. Yeah, people judge you on pretty much everything. Yes, they do All right 718.
Speaker 1:Mornings with Barry and Hall here on Alabama's country giant USB Okay.
Speaker 2:We're talking off the air. There's a lot of interesting things coming out, especially Burger King. But first, if you don't know, today is National Taco Day. It sure is Now. It used to be October 4th, but they've moved it Now. They said National Taco Day will be the first Tuesday in October. It's called Taco Tuesday.
Speaker 3:Taco Tuesday.
Speaker 2:And there's a lot of taco places offering special deals, but most of them I looked on the list None of those are around here, other than, of course, taco Bell. Yeah, taco Bell are offering $1 tacos today starting around lunch and each hour there will be a different taco they offer for $1. Oh, A different kind. That's a good deal, but I think you have to go through the app, which is not that big a deal. I encourage downloading about all the restaurants food places app Because you can get some great deals through those.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you really can.
Speaker 2:But then there's Burger King. I think this is a great idea, but I'm confused on why they're doing it now. I thought, well, maybe the new Wednesday TV show from the Addams Family is coming out now, but Family is coming out now, but it's not.
Speaker 3:No, it's not. They have unveiled that word was hard for me to say new Wednesday's Whopper sandwich and it has a purple bun, like you heard me, purple bun, yep, so it's kind of pretty. It is Thing's Rings, which is onion rings. Yeah, gomez, churro Fries.
Speaker 2:Those look good.
Speaker 3:Morticia's Cookie Chocolate Shake.
Speaker 2:There's a lot of cookie pieces, it looks like in it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it looks good.
Speaker 2:And then this is going to come just in time for Halloween on October 10th, but the actual TV show part two of Wednesday of the TV show is not until next year.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it said mid-25.
Speaker 2:Because of the holdup with the writer's track and the whole problem and she was busy filming other stuff. Yes them and she was busy filming other stuff. Yes, but I loved the first wednesday it was good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was really good all right, 7, 29 barry and holly on alabama's country giant wqsb puffist action hero.
Speaker 2:That's human, not like a superhero, like a superman or uh, you know one of the avengers yeah and somebody mentioned batman, which is kind of true kind of true because he's considered a superhero, but he doesn't have any special powers the gadget's in his fighting ability. I guess they kicked him out of this list because he's still considered a superhero. John Wick was voted number one.
Speaker 3:Tate Nance said Gerard Butler in 300. He was tough, jim Pruitt said Jack Reacher.
Speaker 2:I love Jack Reacher, greg and Leslie Ledford See, they agree with you. Lara Croft, tomb Raider.
Speaker 3:Oh, thank you. Good one. And then Jason Statham. Why did he not make the list?
Speaker 2:That's another good one.
Speaker 3:He should have absolutely.
Speaker 2:Somebody said I can't believe Chuck Norris Walker, texas Ranger. Yep Didn't make it.
Speaker 3:Jeremy, yeah, I was about to say.
Speaker 2:Jeremy said Walker Ranger is a bad man, michael Pendergrass, says Martin Riggs Lethal Weapon, mel Gibson.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's a good one.
Speaker 2:Josh Johnson, bruce Lee and Chuck Norris. Oh, Chuck Norris, yeah, and Bruce Lee yeah, well, I think they're going just for the characters and stuff. Yes, bruce Lee would be the toughest, but they're going for the characters, and I don't know any of his characters' names. I guess in the movies he was in.
Speaker 3:For $500,. Could you name one Bruce Lee movie?
Speaker 2:No, I couldn't either. Something with dragon. I know that it's like Revenge of the Dragon, something about a dragon.
Speaker 3:Something about a dragon? Yeah, okay, that's all.
Speaker 2:I know.
Speaker 3:But let me ask you, as far as action movies, uh-huh, are you a big action movie fan? Not as much as most. I like weird movies, like like movies about murder, oh yeah, like true crime yeah that's what I like scary movies are just no, no, no, I don't want to watch the conjuring and no, I want to watch the ones where, like what about, like halloween, scream no um. I've never seen either one of those You've seen Scream.
Speaker 3:I've watched Scream last year, yeah, but I've never seen Halloween, but I don't know. I love love stories too, like Titanic is my number one movie, yeah. I love it Good movie. Nothing will ever top it.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So what about an action hero? If you had to pick one that you've seen, who would you pick? You're thinking who's the baddest?
Speaker 3:I mean gerard butler in 300 is pretty tough, yeah, he is now on the list.
Speaker 2:That number 10 was ethan hunt from mission impossible very good. Tom cruise good in those movies. Ellen ripley from alien was number nine. You're very good, uh b Mills from the Taken movie, liam Neeson's character. Number eight Rocky Balboa Seven. Jason Bourne was six. James Bond was five. Indiana Jones was four. I don't know that I put Indiana Jones at a high.
Speaker 3:You cannot tell me that Indiana Jones can beat.
Speaker 2:Jason Bourne.
Speaker 3:Jason Bourne no.
Speaker 2:He would take that whip and beat him with the end of it.
Speaker 3:And tie him up.
Speaker 2:And smother him with his hand. Yes, he would.
Speaker 3:Yes, he would let the boulder roll across him Roll across his spine, he would. He sure would.
Speaker 2:Yes, he can escape danger, do all these great things and figure out a map and find treasures, but I think when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, I don't think he should be number four.
Speaker 3:I don't think he should make the list.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 3:No, I really don't.
Speaker 2:I don't Okay. Number three Die Hard's John McClane, bruce Willis' character. Good choice, Then. The top two is John Rambo from the Rambo movies and then John Wick, number one.
Speaker 3:John Wick. I've got to agree. Yeah, he's pretty bad.
Speaker 2:Yeah, all right, 742.

Speaker 2:Then I'm a gentleman and I say you can have this seat because it's the most comfortable.

Oh yes, don't that sound good.
Speaker 2:I've never seen a blanket that big before.
Speaker 3:It stretches out across my whole living room.

Speaker 2:Do you think they can smile? Yes, really, really. Like when they're going yeah, the corners of their mouth kind of turns out.
Speaker 3:So I have to tell you all this funny story. Yeah, harlow, my daughter, her dad and stepmom have a Labrador. I think it's a Labrador, okay, and not a Labrador the poodles, the Labradoodle.

Speaker 2:It's the cutest thing I've ever seen, a dog. Well, let me take that back. I've seen one dog smile in my lifetime. One dog, okay, went to a friend's house and when he grabbed my leg and went to town I think he was smiling. I'm being honest, pretty sure I look down.
Speaker 3:He's like yeah, man, this is happening. This is what's going down. Just yeah, I'm pretty sure he was smiling.
Speaker 2:Just sit here and be still and he gave me like a pause, pause up, pause up, yeah, so whatever, yeah, it's 7.55. Thanks, rachel.
Speaker 1:Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's country giant WQSB.
Speaker 2:The little boy in Rhode Island. This is amazing. I like this little boy's style. He's six years old, his name is Luca, he's in the first grade and he already has a business that he developed to raise money and he's helping the neighbors and he's also helping himself. He has a passion for helping animals and he's got a poop scooping business.
Speaker 3:Oh.
Speaker 2:Going around the neighborhood. If neighbors want him to help, he will scoop their yard. Check out his name it's Poopa Scoopa Luca.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's cute.
Speaker 2:He thought of it himself.
Speaker 3:That's cute. For a six-year-old, this is pretty smart, it is.
Speaker 2:So what he does. He charges $15 for one dog. He'll go over the yard and scoop it up, $20 for more dogs. But he says if there's lots and lots of poop like I said, there wasn't one yard it'll be twenty dollars. So I take it luca must have ran into a yard that had a bunch of dog poop, oh yeah, and he was blown away. But his mom says he's helped her for years because she has a job where she works with animals and they've fostered animals many times in their home. And he wanted a cat.
Speaker 2:And she says to adopt a cat it costs money and you must raise the money yourself and you must take care of it yeah so he thought of this business and he's now raised enough money and he's adopted the cat and he now has the cat at six years old yes wow, that's great.
Speaker 3:That's amazing. I love that. Yeah, it's. I mean, I know it's funny that he's scooping poop, but I'm really more amazed at the fact of a six-year-old in first grade already has an entrepreneurial mindset.
Speaker 2:Does that work? It does yeah.
Speaker 3:Entrepreneurial I have no idea. Anyway, he's got a business brain.
Speaker 2:He does. But that's amazing. He's done this and he now has this cat by the way, his cat's but that's amazing, he's done this and he now has his cat. By the way, his cat's name is Pebble. Aww, yeah, he adopted a cat.
Speaker 3:I like that.
Speaker 2:And he says business is still going strong. All right, it's 8-15. Country news is coming up, barry and Holly on Alabama's Country, Giant. Wqsb, and there's a reason why Should I play the song. This is your favorite song of all time, my baloney has a first name.
Speaker 3:It's O-S-T-A-R.
Speaker 2:Sing it. You've never seen this.
Speaker 3:I'm too young for this. It's a famous commercial. This is before my time.
Speaker 2:Here we go. Big ending. Here we go, because Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-E-N-A. There you go.
Speaker 3:I wish I had her. I never know how to spell baloney.
Speaker 2:You do. You should even share this. We're talking about baloney, because the crime story this morning deals with baloney. You want to tell the crime story first.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:The crime story A woman. She was trying to cross the border and she was trying to smuggle in 700 pounds of bologna. Do you call it bologna or bologna Bologna? I do.
Speaker 3:Who says bologna?
Speaker 2:It's spelled with an A.
Speaker 3:Nobody ever says that.
Speaker 2:Some say bologna.
Speaker 3:No, they better not. Yeah, it's bologna. Some say bologna.
Speaker 2:But it better be bologna.
Speaker 3:Some say bologna, but it better be bologna?
Speaker 2:No, they do not. Then why is there an A at the end?
Speaker 3:of it. I don't know why is there a P in pterodactyl?
Speaker 2:Why is there an L in salmon? That just kills me that word. I know I hate that word, anyway, anyway, but anyways, she was arrested. She was 248 pounds of bologna, 280 boxes of undeclared prescription medications and $7,600 in concealed currency. And the Border Patrol called her. First they were going to let her go because they didn't see it. Then they said something's not right here. I guess one of the dogs was going crazy or something and they found secret compartments in the suitcase. That's where they found 40 rolls of Mexican bologna 40 rolls. How big is his suitcase? That must be a monster of a suitcase.
Speaker 3:So you know, when you get in trouble with the police and you're like, oh God, I bet she was like, oh, my bologna.
Speaker 2:It has a first name and I've got to give it to you, oh, my goodness. But okay, here's my question. She's smuggling it in over the border. I would think you need bologna to stay in the fridge refrigerated, probably all the time she's got it in her suitcase. Is she taking that to someone to eventually sell or give to somebody, I'm guessing, to sell and make money?
Speaker 3:On the bologna black market.
Speaker 2:Yeah, would you want to be the person standing on the street? She walks up and says, hey, I got some bologna. I got bologna rolling here Some hot bologna, right here with your name on it. Would you like some hot bologna? I'd say, okay, has it been refrigerated, ma'am?
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:No, it's been in my coat. Ew, it's been in my coat Ew, it's been in my pocket.
Speaker 3:What was she doing with all that baloney?
Speaker 2:I don't know. Excuse me, sir, is that?
Speaker 3:a no Roll of baloney in your no no.
Speaker 2:You just had me to cross the border. I don't know.
Speaker 3:You can't say that.
Speaker 2:But who's she going to sell it to? There's going to sell it to I don't know People with stomach issues for the next week because they bought that illegal bologna that crossed the border in her coat.
Speaker 3:Maybe there's a hot market for bologna right now.
Speaker 2:I don't know. We don't know what's popular, we stay in this little control room.
Speaker 3:We live here.
Speaker 2:Okay, but then you ask about bologna what's it made from? And I don't know.
Speaker 3:Don't, no idea, don't.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to say People can look it up if they want to, but I still like it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you can look it up if you want to On the break on our Facebook Live. They told me not to do it. I did it and I won't be buying any bologna.
Speaker 2:It's a mixture of like three different animals.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but you're going into it.
Speaker 2:But I still like a good bologna sandwich. I like good fried bologna and I like just a good, freshly sliced bologna sandwich.
Speaker 3:Because you like chicken.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And you like pork and you like beef, yeah, so why would you not like bologna? That's true, yeah, all right, so now we know. So why would you not like bologna?
Speaker 2:It's true. Yeah, all right. So now we know, and now you've done it. So what are you? You happy? Yeah, I'm happy.
Speaker 3:I love interacting with the listeners and I feel like we can do that in a way that we don't get to normally, because we can talk to them when the music's playing and we can talk to them and have a conversation and it's just fun Like to them and have a conversation. It's just fun. They're a lot of fun to hang out with. Let's see if you agree with this.
Speaker 2:When you first asked me a year ago, I said no.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 2:I said, the reason is and you'll agree with this I'm pretty much a private person. People say how's that when you're on the radio? When I'm on the radio, I'm doing something I love for these three hours, but when I get off the radio, it's like I'm not a people. A lot of people. Don't get me wrong, I love people, I love to be around people, but I'm kind of a I've always been a shy person you're just I feel uncomfortable in crowds.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I feel uncomfortable and I just feel like, uh, I just rather just be by myself or, you know, with a certain group of people. I feel uncomfortable. I just feel like I don't know, but you like crowds.
Speaker 3:No, I don't. Who said that you?
Speaker 2:feel more comfortable on stage than I do.
Speaker 3:When we go to a concert and we ask the emcee.
Speaker 2:It scares me.
Speaker 3:No, it doesn't scare me. I guess you're right, I get overwhelmed and I've had a panic attack at a Maverick City concert and I've had a panic attack at a John Mayer show. Big crowds when I'm in the middle of them I feel claustrophobic. So I don't think it's the crowd, I think it's the feeling of claustrophobia. But anyway, yeah, when we do concerts, I'm all about it. I hop them up, pump it up, let's go.
Speaker 2:I don't want it to come out wrong. I love people, I love talking to people, I love being around, but it's like big crowds it kind of so when I was told there was going to be a camera watching me, everything I do, for three hours, I'm not sure if I can do that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, what do you think?
Speaker 2:I love the fact that we can talk to the listeners off the air.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I love that too.
Speaker 2:With them chatting with us. I like that.
Speaker 3:I like them, seeing how mistreated I am and how mean you are to me, so I don't have to keep calling my mama every day and say, mama.
Speaker 2:She says, Holly, you're full of it.
Speaker 2:He's the sweetest guy I've ever seen. No, uh, kimberly roberts, you did awesome at alberville band well, thank you. Yeah, I appreciate that because when I was asked to do this 11 years ago, I'd never done it before and I was nervous, thinking I don't know a whole lot about band competition or what to say and how to do this. And it's funny if you were there at the very end of it in the press box, you know what I'm talking about, because I have to have a band director right next to me with his finger on the sheet to show me exactly what to say.
Speaker 2:So, that I don't say the wrong thing, because you've got to go over the scores like a drum line and they're so afraid I'm going to screw it up. They're right there next to me so that I don't screw it up. It's pretty funny.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's important. You can't mess that up. It's like they're holding my finger, like here here say this and say that, but but anyway it's been fun this morning and we'll uh be adding stuff to it.
Speaker 2:We just appreciate y'all listening. Yeah, all right, are you ready for the quote of the day? I like this one.
Speaker 3:So what you got today people only see the decisions you made, not the choices you had it's kind of like what I just said.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they see the finished product that we are doing it yeah but when it started a year ago and you said this, I said no, I can't do this because I don't know if I want people watching me for three hours.
Speaker 3:Screw up no, no, you don't screw up.
Speaker 2:I have to screw up all the time you just I said don't, you don't see it you don't when the microphone's not on. You're like you're because you told me once I'd hate to be inside your brain no, I said I wonder what it would be like to be inside your brain and why did you say that?
Speaker 3:because you're weird man, you're just weird.
Speaker 2:What do you mean by weird? Now they think now that I'm get the kids away from him no it, you have the same sense of humor that I have.
Speaker 3:It's very dry, but it goes into things that you wouldn't expect. You say things that you wouldn't expect, like is that a roll of bologna in your coat, or are you just happy to see me Stuff like that?
Speaker 2:I just think if you can make somebody laugh at least once a day, then we've done our job.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we've had a good yeah yeah, if we can make one person just want to stay here, then that's my goal. Yeah, I'm reaching out to the people that are struggling and I'm calling out to the people that are battling things that nobody knows about. And if we can make you smile and hang on for just one more day, and one more day the next day, one more day, the next day then that will be the best thing that I could possibly do with my life.
Speaker 2:I agree. Yeah, it's like that quote. Yeah, yeah, don't judge people agreeing. Yeah, it's like that quote. Yeah, yeah, don't judge people. Do not judge people because you don't know what it took them to, what they went through to make the decision they just made, to maybe even be in public, get off the couch and get out of the house yeah don't judge them because they had many choices.
Speaker 2:They were to stay in the bed or the stay in the dark, yep, but they chose to get out in public or go somewhere. Be happy for them. Don't judge them because you don't know what choices they had, that they could have chose probably 10 other things to do that day.
Speaker 3:Well, I mean, when you're in that state of mind, you do have choices. It's true, and you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah, you got to take care of yourself.
Speaker 2:You do.
Speaker 3:Talk to somebody. Reach out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, support people, find a friend. Support people, find a friend, support them. You never know A word of encouragement could save somebody's life. Yeah, it really could, really could. All right, that's H57.
