Speaker 2:A little yeah.
Speaker 1:Because you eat more ice cream in the summer. I would think the summertime.
Speaker 2:Little yeah, would you eat more ice cream in the summer? I would think you would think so. So ages 14 to 17,. Their favorite flavor is mint chocolate chip.
Speaker 1:I believe that Reagan used to love that.
Speaker 2:It's my favorite, for sure. Ages 18 to 24 is cookies and cream. I like that. Ages 25 through 34 is cookie dough.
Speaker 1:Ooh, I like that.
Speaker 2:Ages 35 through 44 is chocolate. That's Mayer's favorite.

Speaker 2:Like Moose Tracks.
Speaker 1:Yes, I love that. There's crunchy pieces in it too. I really love that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, those are good. And then here's something you need to know if you haven't got the update already YouTube TV is increasing its monthly subscription cost from $73 to $83. How?
Speaker 5:about new.
Speaker 2:It says that it's trying to keep up with the content and the service quality. I know, I know I can't help it.
Speaker 1:When this first came out a few years ago, it was $42.
Speaker 2:And you know, it won't be long before Netflix raises theirs again and now it's almost as much as the Spectrum. I know.
Speaker 1:Yes, that's why people were switching to YouTube because it was much cheaper. The only good thing about it I have YouTube TV is the fact that six or five or six people can share it. Yeah, you can put them on your plan.
Speaker 2:I am one of those six.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you are, I piggyback. That makes it good and you're not cheating on that. That's legal. They allow that, do they? So yeah, that's fine, they let everybody. They give you like five people to sign up.
Speaker 2:I will tell you this. I was watching the football game, like two Saturdays ago, yeah, and it said stream limit reached.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it was on yours.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, we got some preloaders. So everybody yeah, everybody was watching it. Well, we got some preloaders. It depends on who they are.
Speaker 2:I know I swear, I swear.
Speaker 1:People have been giving out my stuff.
Speaker 2:Might need to change password, may have to. Yeah, yeah. And then, okay, think about this. Okay, I will. Other than pet stores and this is not something that we talked about before, so this is completely blinding. Okay, other than pet stores, where do you find hamsters? Ooh, like they're not out in your backyard. And then also, I want you to say the word hamster, hamster, say it again Hamster. There's no P in it. Hamster, hamster. Some people say hamster, hamster, yeah, hamster, they really do. But think about this who's out there foraging for hamsters? Where do you catch them? Where do you catch them? Where does one find them? Gerbils, that's a good point when are they?
Speaker 1:That's a deep thought.
Speaker 2:What about ferrets?
Speaker 1:Ooh.
Speaker 2:Where do you find a ferret? Probably a ferret island wild ferret yeah like hey mom, if, if I catch a hamster, can I have?
Speaker 1:it, can I keep it, can I keep it? Yeah sure, honey, go snap hunting too while you're out there where do you find these? That's a very good point.
Speaker 2:Where did they come from? I've never just caught one in the wild you just got to think about where they come. Where do they come? Where do they originate?
Speaker 1:from part of the world that grows them.
Speaker 2:I don't know. Is there a hamster field?
Speaker 1:A hamster haven.
Speaker 2:Maybe a hamster haven?
Speaker 1:yeah, I don't know there's a lot of pressure on that country.
Speaker 2:But think about that.
Speaker 1:The whole world depends on them.
Speaker 2:And, like I said, gerbils, yeah, where do they come from? Lots of people have them them.
Speaker 1:I know sometimes where they go and it's wrong. Well, that's the wrong way, yeah. And then ferrets oh yeah, it's different. Yeah, I could say that, being on an island, I think godzilla fought one of those ones. Oh, really, like a giant thing. Oh, I could. Yeah, maybe, yeah, but that's a very.
Speaker 2:We need to figure that out just think about it, huh, just saying that answer, let me know yeah, all right, 619. Since you've been gone, problems with the stanley cups yeah, they're recalling 2.6 million mugs that were sold in the united states because they have loose lids. It's for the stanley switchback and trigger, trigger action. That sounds cool. You have one of those trigger action, trigger action. Will you grab my trigger action mug?
Speaker 1:I'm going outside to hunt gerbils. I mean a trigger action mug.
Speaker 2:Throw it in, so they're travel mugs. So far, the company has received 91 reports of lids coming loose. Wouldn't that be horrible?
Speaker 1:Because you get burn incidents Exactly so 38 people report being burned, with their lid coming off when coffee or hot drink was in it.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's not good, Stanley. That sounds like a class action lawsuit waiting to happen.
Speaker 1:So if you have one of these, you can see pictures on their Facebook and you may have one of these.
Speaker 2:Yeah. And then a survey of 2,000 Americans found that we start itching for vacation every 110 days.
Speaker 1:Is that every four months? Mm-hmm, I get that. Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2:This means most people will have a vacation by April 20th of 2025. I won't. No. The average person with paid time off has five days left over at the end of the year that they didn't use or roll over.
Speaker 1:Not me.
Speaker 2:I have extra hours. Yeah, I have like a whole week.
Speaker 1:You left over or you can carry 40 over.
Speaker 2:That I can carry forward.
Speaker 1:So how many will you lose? Eight, I think, okay, eight or nine you need to take a day off. No, have like two weeks. I don't Really, annie.
Speaker 2:I know. Isn't it a shame you can't cash that in, I know, like for two weeks?
Speaker 1:pay A Sabring oh.
Speaker 2:That's what Michael Scott drove. Oh, no, no.
Speaker 1:I know. Thank you.
Speaker 2:That was his company car. Soon ride a hamster to work yes, I'll pass on that yeah.
Speaker 1:All right 629.
Speaker 3:Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's country giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:I came across something on TikTok yesterday which I'm going to hate it if it goes away, I know. I realize they say there's stealing America's secrets and all this stuff.
Speaker 2:I'm really bummed, though. What am I going to do in my spare time? But?
Speaker 1:there's some great videos, and there was one. It's a newswoman.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm going to play it for you in a second, and we've talked many times that sometimes, like I screwed up a couple of days ago I was trying to say what hell yeah I was trying to say show us your white tail and cannot show us your white hell. And it did something you never know, but sometimes those are the funniest things that happen sometimes yeah when if the wrong word comes out.
Speaker 1:No, it's not funny, yeah, but sometimes you just have to laugh. I've told you from day one, because you said what if I mess? I get so stressed when we first you first started working here about a year ago and you were worried about you would mess up and you would beat yourself up the rest of the day, I said, no, you can't let this ruin your day. Everybody does it. You've seen tv people do it. You've seen them do it and they just.
Speaker 2:You just have to go on, laugh at yourself and move on well, it was like a year and a half ago, year and a half ago, but I will say that I was so stressed, starting because there's no delay, like if I mess up a word I cannot stop and try to correct it. We are, we are live straight from mouthpiece to ear.
Speaker 1:We are so it freaks people out when they come to the station. We have a radio out in the lobby and they're listening and looking like that. That's exactly what they're saying. It's not like there's a seven-second delay.
Speaker 2:No, we have no delay. No.
Speaker 1:Well, this news clip. It's a newswoman and there's a news story about somebody at a Home Depot. This happened, like a couple of years ago. The story was that somebody they thought there was a bomb threat inside this Home Depot oh no. So they gave her the story to read. The other guy was a bit like me and you. He knew what the story was and he wanted to make sure that she's the one that read it live on TV.
Speaker 1:So you've seen the video, so here she is reading the story live, and sometimes when you start laughing it's some of the funniest stuff, whether it's live TV or not. Sometimes you just have to laugh and have fun yeah.
Speaker 5:So here's what happened. A customer alerted employees. A man inside the bathroom said there was a bomb in the building. Police were able to locate the man responsible for those comments and that man told police. He warned other guests to leave the restroom because he was quote uh fixing to blow it up but had no intention of causing a panic, and also told others in the room, laughed, understanding his, which I'm just now getting. Home Depot says they will not be pressing charges, but I can tell you right now. You asked the producer for me to read that, didn't you?
Speaker 1:Now they can't talk.
Speaker 5:To Ethan now, please no.
Speaker 2:That's the best laugh when you sound like a tea kettle.
Speaker 5:We're going to have to go to a commercial. No, we're going to get it, we're going to get it and they were laughing. They couldn't talk. That's hilarious, that is.
Speaker 1:The guy said you need to get out of here because I'm about to blow this up. Yeah.
Speaker 2:And she didn't get it, or the guy misunderstood.
Speaker 1:They're about to put a bomb in here. And then the news lady could not finish the story.
Speaker 2:Oh man.
Speaker 1:That's hilarious. That is 6.43.
Speaker 3:Barry and Holly on Alabama's country giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:We heard the rumor and it looks like it is true. Now we don't know that there's going to be another season of Yellowstone, but there's going to be some kind of season of Yellowstone.
Speaker 2:Yep, so Kelly Raleigh and Rip Wait, okay, so Kelly Raleigh and Cole Hauser. They were switched.
Speaker 1:I see that.
Speaker 2:They messed it up. Beth and Rip yeah, they have finalized their deals to come back as characters in a new Yellowstone spinoff. According to multiple reports, the new series, which the reports will include Yellowstone in its title. No further details have been given.
Speaker 1:Because they keep hinting that Casey and the family are going to be leaving the ranch regardless of what happens. So I think Casey's done. I don't think you'll see Casey.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Jamie. I don't know if he's going to survive Sunday night or not.
Speaker 2:I think it's Jamie that's pushed off a cliff.
Speaker 1:You think so? Yeah, I really do so he'll be gone.
Speaker 2:I think it's gone. I think they're going to give us that. I hope they do.
Speaker 1:So it's going to be Beth and Rip, somehow probably Carter, who they pretty much have basically adopted, but it's not officially. It but it's not officially and I would think maybe one or two members of the ranch will stay on. You think they're going to do this on the yellowstone ranch or go back to texas. The other rumor was the four sixes will have its own show, because you know rip was down there for a few episodes, episode or two.
Speaker 1:You think they're gonna keep showing jimmy a lot yeah, I don't know that the four sixes will be have enough interest for me because I like jimmy, but some of the other characters I think they need to stay in the yellowstone here. There's too many good people on that ranch yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't know what that? What are they going to do with lloyd? What are they going to do with? I don't?
Speaker 1:know teeter needs to stay there yeah, I think that beth will keep the ranch and we'll stay on the ranch. Yeah, I think I hope so we'll find out, we'll find out.
Speaker 2:And there's also this theory that Tate, when he inherits the ranch, it goes back to the Indian Right right. So I don't know, we don't know.
Speaker 1:By the way, it's 90 minutes Sunday night, so it's a 90-minute special. Really, it's an extra 30 minutes Good.
Speaker 2:Well, 2024 Billboard Music Awards took place last night and, just like the rest of the year in music, the evening belonged to none other than taylor swift. The birthday girl. The birthday girl. She took home 10 awards, including the night's biggest award, top artist, as well as top billboard 200 album for the tortured post department. With these new trophies, swift becomes the winningest artist in the show's 31 year history did you watch the show?
Speaker 1:no, she officially thanked you last night. Oh, yay, she thanked you for listening to Tortured Poets Department for one million times. Basically, Thank you. Someone to thank Holly? Thank you to Holly.
Speaker 2:Mostella from Alabama, who's listened to one billion streams Thank you so much. Zach Bryan took home five awards last night, including Top Country album. Now.
Speaker 1:I'm with you. I love his new song Pink Skies.
Speaker 2:Can we play it again today?
Speaker 1:We'll play it. That's a good song.
Speaker 2:Yeah, let's play that today. And then Morgan Wallen took home four trophies, including Top Male Artist, top Country Artist and Top Country Male Artist. That's weird.
Speaker 1:It was a good and a bad day for Morgan.
Speaker 4:You saw what happened earlier in the day.
Speaker 1:Well, if you missed the story, earlier yesterday he pled guilty to reduced misdemeanor reckless endangerment in the Nashville courtroom yesterday. Morgan was then sentenced by the judge to seven days of incarceration at a DUI education center.
Speaker 2:So wait, he's going to jail for seven days.
Speaker 1:Seven days in the DUI education center. Okay, Whatever that is exactly. He was also given two years probation, one year for each of his misdemeanor charges for reckless endangerment basically throwing the chair off the roof of the bar in downtown Nashville. He also has to pay a $350 fine in court fees $350? He probably had that cash in his pocket right then. That would be like hey holly you have to give us a quarter. Yeah, exactly like a quarter to us 350 would break me yeah, but seven days in the yeah for a d.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh well morgan walling and make it in seven days they'll probably get it reduced to six on good behavior. If you pick, pick up a cigarette, butt or something, they'll probably give him like a couple hours and they'll say time served.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we'll see Even if they do, they'll keep him separate. They'll keep him safe. What do you think? Yeah, he's a top male artist.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he can take his award with him. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Or his trophy with him.
Speaker 1:He's 6.55. Birthdays are next.
Speaker 3:WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly.
Speaker 1:A quick heads up before we. I saw this on TikTok yesterday and I'd never thought about this. But there was a woman who put up a TikTok video and she was laughing and said that her son, six-year-old son, came to her and says Mom, I wish that station would quit playing that Brenda Lee song that woman who talks about rocking around the Christmas tree because it's got a dirty word in it. The mother said what are you talking about? He says it says the F word.
Speaker 1:Oh, how old is he she says no, I promise you don't send six. So she listened.

I went to the grocery store yesterday to get all the stuff to make my pie. Sure, and something super weird happened. Oh, what happened? I went over to the seafood department and the sign said lobster tails only $2.
Speaker 1:Lobster tails for $2. Okay, mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:So I handed him my $2, and then he goes. Well, once upon a time long ago, there was this lobster, the wrong kind of lobster tail A lobster tail A lobster story. Not a tail, a physical tail, a story.
Speaker 1:Well, you just lost $2, didn't you? I know, wow, that's tough, that's weird. Alright, number two.
Speaker 2:What does a farmer say when he wants to end a conversation? Oh no idea. Hey, I got a bail, I got a bail, hey.
Speaker 1:I got a bail. Hey, all right, final one for the weekend.
Speaker 2:Third joke Did you hear about the triangle player that quit the orchestra?
Speaker 1:No, I didn't hear what happened. It just says it was one ting after another, one ting after another those are good ones.
Speaker 3:Feel free to use them at 7 16 mornings with barry and hall here on alabama's country giant wqsb of the day, your friday quote what have you got for us today?
Speaker 2:this one kind of makes me emotional. Oh, one day you will tell your story of how you overcame, what you went through, and it will be someone else's survival guide. This is something that I've told you about, like with the passing of your son. I don't believe that it was in vain. I think that his story can save other lives. I really truly think that, even though he lost his, I think Reed's story can reach other people and save lives you know.
Speaker 1:That made me think of that. When I was typing that up this morning I thought you know, you've told me this, other people have told me that somewhere along the way you're gonna tell your story or these story, because a lot of it's never been told and I keep asking them but but how? I don't see how it has a happy ending. The thing I've gone through is it wasn't a happy ending and I'm not sure how to inspire others through something that wasn't happy.
Speaker 2:Because I think that facing death and knowing that you can actually leave this world and leave your family in shambles can pull somebody out of that deep, dark pit of addiction, with you telling what Reed had gone through. Because Reed was such a good kid and I think that a big part of this story is that things can happen to anybody at any time. You can make the wrong decision. He was a good kid with a great heart and he had a great family. He grew up with his parents, his mom and his dad, and he he didn't make it. But I think, because he didn't, reed's story can make it for others.
Speaker 1:Well, I appreciate that. It's something I think about daily on how can I do this? And I pray about it and I still don't have the answers, but hopefully I will one day and be able to help others. But yeah, that's a good quote for any type of story like that. So just think about that this morning. Good stuff, it's 721.
Speaker 4:Let's go morning. Yeah, good stuff at 7 21 couple of food stories.
Speaker 1:How about subway? You know they're going crazy with these footlong cookies over the past year. Now they're trying something new it's the footlong nachos. Is that real? It is. This is new, it's subway, so not a sandwich, but it's not a nacho flavored sandwich. It's actually like a foot long box of nachos and on the nachos they include anything from melted cheese to meat to toppings. I guess you kind of do the same thing. You go down the line and say I want that and that and that. On that, I guess.
Speaker 2:I don't know, do you?
Speaker 1:think this will work. What do you think I?
Speaker 2:think it will. I think it's a really good idea.
Speaker 1:I'm using Doritos too, by the way. Dor chips, that's inside the nachos.
Speaker 2:Well, did you watch Harry Potter?
Speaker 1:I did. I watched all of them with my kids.
Speaker 2:You are going to be able to buy Butterbeer Hershey Kisses what?
Speaker 1:do you think?
Speaker 2:They're going to be out in the spring. They're going to have a Butterbeer cream filling. I'm so excited because I've always wondered what Butterbeer would taste like.
Speaker 1:Is that a real beer? Is that?
Speaker 2:a real thing like in England? I have no idea. I don't think so.
Speaker 1:Or is it just a word they made up for Harry Potter? I?
Speaker 2:think it's made up for Harry Potter, but I could be wrong, I don't know Okay.
Speaker 1:We'll see, we'll check on them. Yeah, so those are coming out. And here's another one. I thought about you when I saw this there's a new soap.
Speaker 5:It's from.
Speaker 1:Chipotle Chip. They have a new merchandise. One of them is a soap. Okay, that smells like cilantro. Oh, ew, do you like the taste of cilantro on some of your foods? No, no, then you definitely don't want to smell like cilantro.
Speaker 2:No, this is horrible, no.
Speaker 1:Well, apparently somebody out there wants to smell like cilantro because they're bringing it back again. They had it three years ago. Now it's back again.
Speaker 2:No, thank, now it's back again.
Speaker 1:No thank you ten dollars for a bar of soap that smells like cilantro. Would you take a bite? Nah, probably in the shower, kind of hungry.
Speaker 2:Just reach over there take a nibble yeah, just take a little, just see what it tastes like yeah, I don't know, don't know let me try it I'd have to look closely, because there's no tiny hairs on it.
Speaker 1:Um, you know what I'm saying? Gotta be careful, yeah, 726.
Speaker 3:barry, barry and Holly on Alabama's Country, giant WQSB you ready, ready.
Speaker 1:Hope you've got some good weekend ones.
Speaker 2:The sale of scotch tape goes up 70% during December, I believe it.
Speaker 4:I believe it. Gift wrapping.
Speaker 2:Gift wrapping, you've got to have the tape.
Speaker 1:I got ready to wrap a couple of presents for one of our Dirty Santas and I couldn't find the tape. I had to go make a scotch tape run yeah, where'd you go? I went to Walgreens.
Speaker 2:Walgreens, yeah, yeah, that's closest one to me yeah, dollar store is where I hid up the tape, but I believe that because that's the only time I ever buy there and don't have to wrap it.
Speaker 4:Yeah, well, that's what I got in there for my gifts. I got a baby shower.
Speaker 2:Hey, is that just what you had at home?
Speaker 1:Yeah, Most men wrap gifts like that. They buy a bag and set it in and put some of that soft paper on top of it and cover it up Most men plus Holly. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because I cannot wrap. No, I can do many, many things. I can do really cool things and I made some of the most beautiful pieces of art you'll ever see. Cannot rap for nothing.
Speaker 1:What's the don't judge thing we do?
Speaker 2:We listen and we don't judge.
Speaker 1:Okay when you look at one of my gifts in a minute, don't judge, because I thought I had it cut, perfectly right, and when I put the tape on it it was about a strip, about that wide. It was not cut, it was box, so I had to cut another piece and I had to.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, we listen and we don't judge, so I can put things into the bags. But I always make the bags look extra pretty and like, sparkly and like the tissue paper, perfect with the bag. Because I literally don't know how to wrap and I did a campaign for Michael's store one time. I did a video for them and my best friend came over and had to wrap it for me first and put the creases in it because I don't know how to wrap.
Speaker 4:We listen and we don't judge. Oh, so it's my turn you have one uh, if I go to like a christmas party and I receive a gift and it's in a bag, I'll reuse that the same year.
Speaker 2:So I don't have to keep a stockpile there you go five and six americans under the age of 18 have never used a postage stamp.
Speaker 1:I agree, yeah, I bet most don't even know where the post office in their town is.
Speaker 2:I bet some don't even know how to address a letter.
Speaker 4:No, you're right.
Speaker 2:I bet they don't.
Speaker 4:I guarantee they don't. When we were, I think, kindergarten, we learned how to send mail. So what our teacher did was had us write out a check for a dollar, send it to a place and then, if we received it back, like return to sender.
Speaker 2:You didn't get a good grade.
Speaker 4:No, we didn't get a good grade, but if it didn't come back, you got an A and we would have a pizza party. The money that we wrote out the check, for you would have a pizza party.
Speaker 2:That's such a cute idea.
Speaker 1:It's just something you don't do as much of anymore.
Speaker 2:I would have a pizza party. That's such a cute idea. Well, it's just something you don't do as much of anymore. I don't mail that many letters. I really don't, do you? Uh? Yes, I used to when I had, um, uh, part of my career, uh, when I was my self-employed, I mailed out small gifts and I mailed out like 350 at a time.
Speaker 4:Whoa yeah so.
Speaker 2:I started out hand addressing these because it's so much better when you get a hand address letter. You just feel like it's so much more personal. Then, once it hit over 100, I was like I got to print these off. I cannot do this anymore.
Speaker 4:Put the favorites as handwritten ones.
Speaker 2:Yeah yeah, the post office hated to see me coming. I bet Doctors say people with insomnia should turn the bedside clocks around so you can't see what time it is.
Speaker 1:Ooh, mm-hmm. That's a good thought, because it happens to me. When I start waking up, I immediately look over and say what time is it, what time is it, mm-hmm? And I say I've got 90 minutes. It puts a lot of pressure on you.
Speaker 2:I would say that people over a certain age and I don't know what the age would be, but a certain age don't have bedside clocks. I don't have a bedside clock, Do you?
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:We use our phones.
Speaker 1:I do, because it has a radio in it and it's got an alarm clock in it, so I've had it for years, but it's my only in-house radio I have.
Speaker 2:But, like our generation, uses the phone for the alarm.
Speaker 1:Or Alexa the little Echo. I've got an Echo Dot.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we use our phone for everything.
Speaker 1:True.
Speaker 2:Yes, so we don't even need a bedside alarm.
Speaker 1:But that is a good idea. I had never thought of that.
Speaker 2:Turn the clock around.
Speaker 1:Then I'm going to drive myself crazy wondering how much time do I have?
Speaker 4:I know there's no way I could go without knowing I can't do that I would have to know Do y'all ever do sleep math, where you try to figure out how much longer you have, like if I?
Speaker 1:fall asleep in 15 minutes.
Speaker 4:What time it will be. You're right, yeah.
Speaker 2:I do that sleep math every night, when I'm watching my trash TV shows and I'm like do I have time for one more episode? If I go to bed now, I'll get eight hours. If I watch one more episode, I'll get seven hours.
Speaker 1:And we do pee math here too.
Speaker 2:Oh yes, with songs and radio you have to. You really do.
Speaker 1:I've got two minutes and 47 seconds to go pee.
Speaker 2:I have time to pee.
Speaker 1:If it's not a one, I've got to put a. Get me a Don McLean's American Power Hotel California.
Speaker 2:Give me the live version of Free Bird, indigata DeVita.
Speaker 4:Exactly Because this may be a while.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it will All right, Thanks Will. Thank you. 7.55.
Speaker 3:Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's country giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:I now have a Ted Lasso book.
Speaker 2:I've never known how to act when my dentist visits me at work. I'm like checking my teeth. Am I good? I just ate three sausage balls.
Speaker 1:I just ate a nutter butter peanut butter cookie. I know that's good for the teeth. Josh Conley, Dr Conley, come on in here. Thank you for stopping by.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he brought us goodies.
Speaker 6:I was not expecting to be on the radio this morning, I know, but what brings you in this morning? I'm off. Today it's the Christmas season and I went out and got some goodies and just wanted to take some goodies by some local businesses that mean a lot to our office.
Speaker 1:Well, man, that is awesome. She mentioned was it your daughter? Is it your daughter?
Speaker 6:My daughter and I listen to you guys every morning when we go to school. That means now what's your daughter, what's her name?
Speaker 1:Reagan, oh Reagan. That's my daughter's name that is awesome. So how old is she?
Speaker 6:Reagan is 14. She's a freshman in Albreville.
Speaker 2:Hey, that's an honor. It's hard to be on a 14-year-old's like cool.
Speaker 6:List of things that they like. Exactly, it is yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm trying to learn all the new and all that you know. And I'll be honest whenever I visit Dr Conley he was the one that checked my teeth last time and I told you this, and I meant this years ago when you played for Boaz High School one of the best basketball players I've had a chance to watch and some of the best basketball teams that year Boaz and Albertville. You had some great teammates with you. And that was some of the best Marshall County basketball I've ever seen.
Speaker 6:I agree, basketball, I mean, is a huge part of my life and still is.
Speaker 2:And your son plays. My son plays.
Speaker 6:He's a senior at Albertville so you know back when I was playing, boaz and Albertville were huge rivals and man, those games always really packed the gyms out A lot of fun.
Speaker 1:I enjoyed watching you.
Speaker 6:The county tournaments were great.
Speaker 1:Talk about some of your teammates. I mean, you had probably the biggest team to come through Marshall County ever. You know when I was, I think, an eighth grader, that's when you know Stick Jeremy Hayes, Jeremy Hayes, Randy Morris.
Speaker 6:They were loaded. Albertville had Alex Beeson, so those were kind of my mentors. And then, you know, when I got up there, we had derrick underwood, we had chad moore, uh, ben brown, brandon miller, um, I mean, we were just, we were stacked, we were stacked, um. So we had some great teams, had some great battles and uh, man, you know, going, even going to the games now, like I, just I want to suit up you know, uh, but, but the knees won't allow that yeah, I know yeah well, last time I visited, we were talking.
Speaker 1:We had a story about a person who is doing dental work in their garage. Now you have a practice with wall street dentistry. Yes, you're in albertville. Yes, sir, and I thought this is weird because there's another story this came up we're about to talk about and you walk in the door yeah, it's meant to be, it's meant to be so give me your thoughts on this. It's a true story.
Speaker 1:A 70-year-old Long Island woman turned her kitchen into a dentist office. If you could pull up some of the pictures it's on her Facebook page, Holly. Show him the pictures of that woman's office. She was busted out of the New York kitchen. She pulled five teeth from the victim who paid $2,000. And look at the pictures. She set up a dental chair in her kitchen and she even had the instruments and she had everything and she had a curtain that kind of separated the kitchen to where the dental chair was, gracious her name is gladys.
Speaker 1:Gladys was hit with criminal charges this week for running a dental practice out of a one-bedroom apartment. The victim showed showed up at her office with the curtain and let her do this procedural. What she did was she pulled the teeth and gave her paper towels over where she pulled the teeth and said here, that should stop the bleeding. Can you imagine that?
Speaker 6:I mean like roaches crawling by getting your teeth out.
Speaker 2:It's not even a clean area. No, it's so dirty it is.
Speaker 1:She gave her paper towels. I'm so glad that you are above using paper towels because you do it much better.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he'd probably pack it with some cotton balls, at least.
Speaker 6:I mean, I am appalled right now Like this actually goes on $2,000 for five teeth Five teeth. We need to up our fees If anybody in our office is listening right now. We've got to check this piece together.
Speaker 2:Yeah, hey, listen, do you think that they had the gas?
Speaker 6:It doesn't mention there's any way that she I don't see any nitrous hoses there.
Speaker 2:That's the only way I can sit in a dentist chair.
Speaker 1:So she just pulled the teeth with no.
Speaker 6:My wife too, holly yeah.
Speaker 4:I wonder if she used like maybe so, looking at the tools.
Speaker 2:Dr Conley does this the tools actually look legit.
Speaker 6:I mean, I can't tell you if they're sterile, but those are actual instruments that we would use in the office.
Speaker 2:She could have grabbed a tray when she was visiting her dentist.
Speaker 6:I wonder where she got those. Snatched it up under her shirt. She snatched those from somewhere.
Speaker 2:Yeah, snatched it, put it up under the shirt, just like carried out. Yeah, Probably off eBay Like ooh, I'm going to do this at home.
Speaker 1:And she had used dental needles, so she did have a needle for something.
Speaker 2:It was used. Needles Used, yeah, used dental needles.
Speaker 1:She's got to use the same needle over and over that sounds like the stuff of nightmares. That sounds like oh my gosh, that's like a fever dream.
Speaker 2:Terrifier 4, the new horror movie, ambient dream kind of stuff.
Speaker 1:You're right. There's people like this do this in other countries all the time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they do.
Speaker 6:Barry, I think it's happening actually a little closer to home. Seriously, oh yeah, that's sad.
Speaker 2:I've heard people say oh, you got to get a crown, well, I'll just take my wrench and pull it out. Or what is it? The pliers, the pliers, the pliers, and pull it out.
Speaker 6:The other thing that people do sometimes that we hear is a crown will come off over the weekend or whatever, and they're like, yeah, I was going to put this on with Gorilla Glue, or they put it on with Super Glue. That's the fastest way to end up with a dead tooth and kill a nerve, yeah, so.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 6:Leave the dental work to the professionals.
Speaker 2:We went to school for a reason we know to floss every day. But if works the professional, yeah exactly. We went to school for a reason we know to floss every day, oh yeah. But if you had to give one piece of dental advice, just one, just one what would it be?
Speaker 6:what's your most valuable dental advice that you well um, the old rule of thumb, like you said. I mean, you just said it, floss the teeth that you want to keep. Oh, floss the teeth you want to keep, and brushing just isn't enough. I'll tell you what is great too, too the water flosser.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 6:Yeah, you know it's a game changer. Yeah, it's like a pressure washer for your mouth, you know, and some don't really have the dexterity to actually floss, no, so the water flosser really comes in handy, gets in there. You know it gets in there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're right. It means a lot knowing that you and your daughter listen. We just like to talk to each other and have fun, and if we can make one person smile we've had a good day.
Speaker 6:We laugh every single morning and keep it up with the dad jokes. Those are the best.
Speaker 1:He left you a dad joke he did you want to read it real quick? This is courtesy of Dr Connelly.
Speaker 2:Why did the snowman go to see the dentist? Your?
Speaker 1:handwriting is a little.
Speaker 2:It's terrible. I have Dr Handwriting.
Speaker 1:He was suffering from frostbite. That's a good one, that's a good one.
Speaker 6:It fits in with the season.
Speaker 1:It is great to see y'all do a great job at Wall Street. Tell Dr Renfro I said hi.
Speaker 6:I certainly will. He's working today. Finally, I believe the office radio station is set to you guys, so I'm hoping that they're listening.
Speaker 2:I hope they are. Yeah. Well, shout out to Krista Bruce my girl she's off today.
Speaker 6:Yeah, she's off today, but maybe she's listening.
Speaker 2:And who's my girl? Do you remember?
Speaker 6:I can't remember, was it Haley?
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 6:No.
Speaker 2:I, but I love her so much, okay, okay, because she always comforts me, because I come in crying. Yeah, seriously, I go into the dentist's office with full sweats anxiety.
Speaker 3:You're not alone.
Speaker 2:I cannot stand metal I don't touch metal in my mouth. I don't use metal utensils. I can't stand the metal.
Speaker 6:The dental office is a bad place to be for you, yeah.
Speaker 2:But they put the gas on me. I'm like do whatever you want to I love this place.
Speaker 1:Well, it's great to see you, I'll see you at the game tonight we're doing the Albert O'Grissom game. Huge game Area game.
Speaker 6:We can't seem to get past those guys. I think this is the year.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this is it.
Speaker 1:Well, good to see you again, thank you guys so much. Yep WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly In the meantime. The quote of the day and you talked about this earlier and that was extremely sweet what you said and we talked about it off the air and what we're about to talk about is something I've honestly been thinking about for almost three years now, and how to make this work.
Speaker 2:Yeah, how do I make this work? This quote makes us think of Reed, yeah.
Speaker 1:How do I make?
Speaker 2:this work. This quote makes us think of Reed. It's one day you will tell your story of how you overcame, what you went through, and it will be someone else's survival guide.
Speaker 1:And we talked about it a different way, about you. We both we struggle with depression, anxiety, you more so with me with the anxiety and the stress, and you've talked about it many times on the air and we've noticed at the times that we talk about this, we get such a good, positive response, people saying thank you for doing that, because in today's world it's rarely ever talked about and it's almost to where they want you to not talk about it yeah but I think someday you're gonna step up and have a chance to tell a lot of your stories.
Speaker 1:You've already told some, but and I think your stories make a difference in people, because you've gone through so much and you still do every day. But you still come into work. You work for three hours and you're positive, you put on a smile. Then at nine o'clock sometimes I'm just being honest here, both of us you have a huge high from being on the air. Then you reality sets in. Then you go back to being in your kind of your, your dark place to being in your kind of your, your dark place.
Speaker 2:yeah, I feel like I've been through so much with depression and anxiety that I don't want it to be like with reed, I don't want it to be in vain. I want to be able to use this, that, what I have learned, and if I can help people go through and navigate through some anxiety and depression, even though it's something that I deal with every single day. I want to be able to help somebody and you know, it doesn't always come in the form of a pill or a drink. Sometimes it comes in the form of somebody just listening, yeah, so yeah Well, I'm proud of you.
Speaker 1:Thank you, because I know the struggles you go through, and for me to sit here and watch you gw on before the mic comes on. You're having a tough morning. You cannot tell it for the next three hours, and that's what we've learned to do. We want to make you smile. We don't want to bring you down, but sometimes we just want to be honest and let you know that we too struggle.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we do.
Speaker 1:It's okay to struggle and say I'm not having a good day.
Speaker 2:It's like jelly perfect song saying I am not okay, but it's all gonna be all right. It's all gonna be all right. Well, good job, good quote, all right. 859.
