Speaker 1:It's not fair that people are seated first come, first served. It should be based on who's hungriest he can drop you like a bag of dirt.
Speaker 4:Why are the pretty ones always insane?
Speaker 2:I gotta tell you I have no idea where this is going. Do you just get up in the morning?
Speaker 4:and figure out ways to make me crazy.
Speaker 1:Yep, good morning at 6.08. It's a crazy morning already. There's some scattered rain out there, but hey, this is going to be a nice weekend. You ready for a nice weekend?
Speaker 2:I'm ready for a nice weekend.
Speaker 1:Rain will be out of here in about an hour or two. It's going to be a nice afternoon, mostly sunny, at about 68. Then tomorrow, partly sunny at 75.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's nice.
Speaker 1:Then Sunday, most of the day is good. Then a slight chance of rain comes in. Then it begins changing. We'll get back to fairly normal weather. Starting Sunday you'll have highs in the upper 50s, low 60s and then Monday we're going to be back into the upper 50s for highs, lows in the 40s. But starting on Monday night a lot of rain comes in, especially Monday night. Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, a lot of rain coming in, okay, but just rain and no sleet snow, nothing like that. Well, speaking of rain, you know where we were a week ago today.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:Yeah, speaking of rain, I think my shoes are still wet. I can squish water out of them. Really, you could wring them out, I could, I could, but a possum day, and I think Sam's pretty much nailed it this week.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think Sam did a good job. I think Sam knew what he was doing. I think Sam knew what he was doing.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, he always does, he's 30 and 1.
Speaker 2:Yeah 1 being the blizzard.
Speaker 1:And we're going to get up probably another blast of cool air, not cold Arctic blast, but cool air coming up. And let me tell you how I was telling you a bit of it before we went on the air. It's been a weird morning already.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Rod called last night and I had some garbage. Mrs Currington, it's just a bag, not garbage. Garbage like banana peels and fish.
Speaker 2:It was like boxes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so let me give you some music here.
Speaker 2:Oh God. So boxes and stuff. So my plan was.
Speaker 1:I was in the station vehicle because I had a basketball game and I drove it home and I was going to drive it back again today. So Rod called and said, hey, don't forget now, I've got a remote tomorrow. Yeah, and it hit me. He said I need the vehicle. I said oh, okay, because my plan was when we get off at 9 to pull behind the station because we have the station giant dumpster and take it out then, yeah. So I thought no, I better go by this morning, I'll forget.
Speaker 2:And he's dark, oh yeah, it's creepy back there.
Speaker 1:So I opened up the lid. When I opened the lid, I heard something. Something was like moving inside the garbage. So I took a step back. Great, I said this is how I'm going to die. They're going to find me by the station dumpster. Because I'd just seen the trailer for Hard Eyes, which opens tonight. No, not Because I did see the trailer for Hard Eyes, Really, Like last night before I went to bed the scary movie, oh my God. So I heard something and you could tell it climbed and come crawling out and it jumped. And it's so dark back there I couldn't see what it was exactly and I still don't know. I'm guessing raccoon or possum, Maybe it was Sandman Sam.
Speaker 2:Maybe it was. Maybe it was Sam being like, hey, it's been a whole week since I've seen you.
Speaker 1:I don't know. But imagine being in the dark and hearing something come out of the garbage can and you're probably thinking, okay, I'm hungry, I'm going to eat him. You still don't know what it was, I don't know. I think it was where I could kind of see something in the distance as it was running off. I Well, I don't know, I don't know. Anyway, that'll wake you up. Yeah, that'll wake you up. I've had a good morning. So how was your morning?
Speaker 2:It was good. I watched the trailer to Hard Eyes. So what do you think? Everybody knows that I'm obsessed with scary movies and weird movies. I'm excited to see it. I really want to see it.
Speaker 1:Looks a little cheesy. Well's like glows in the dark. I like it. Okay, if you're trying to hide, why do you have eyes that glow in the dark?
Speaker 2:They don't always glow in the dark.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:When he was in the closet they weren't lit up.
Speaker 1:I guess only when he what? Does he have a button? Only when he kills? Yeah, maybe he hits a button. But the reviews, but for those kind of movies they say it's actually a good movie that probably will be around every Valentine's Day from here on out.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, because it's based on killing.
Speaker 1:Valentines. Yeah so we mention this because it opens tonight.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I want to see it. So if you want to see a good scary, movie.
Speaker 1:The reviews are pretty good, saying it's a pretty good movie.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's from the makers of Scream, the original Scream. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2:It's weird week yeah I've had.
Speaker 1:I've had like blood pressure issues, yeah, and anytime your blood pressure is high or low, it just makes you feel horrible it does, because when it goes up and then it finally comes back down, you feel like you've run a marathon, you just you drain yeah, but I have an appointment and we're gonna get it all sorted out good. Maybe we'll get you on a little blood pressure medicine yeah, I'm gonna feel terrible, yeah feel terrible yeah well it'll be for a day or two.
Speaker 2:You feel like my mama says and she's a nurse and she's in her 70s, but she says you feel like a wrung out washcloth is what she says.
Speaker 1:Then your body gets used to it, then, like I've been on it since my heart surgery years ago and you get used to it I had to go through like three different ones. I found one that worked good, because one of them made me hyper, one of them I couldn't sleep, and then I finally found I think it's Losartan.
Speaker 2:I don't want to do the don't sleep. I could deal with the hyper. I could deal with that. I could use a little boost of energy, but not the no sleep. I've got to have my sleep. Yeah, I've got to have my sleep, yeah.
Speaker 1:So anyway, that's going on. And, speaking of Valentine's, a week from today we'll be announcing our pleasure to meet you, Valentine's Contest, and we had, I think, 40-something entries in the last 24 hours.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's now, I think, 418. Wow, it could be a record. I think last year we had 500 and something.

The computer will give us one picture and that person wins a year supply of meat and this is awesome from food land in albertville and gunnarsville. I forget how we do this. It's roughly like so many dollars a month, figured up over a year.
Speaker 2:Yeah, something like that yeah.
Speaker 1:I forget the total. It's like six, seven, eight hundred dollars, so it's enough to get you by. We should give away your supply of eggs.

Speaker 1:Bazooka was one that Mom always got. They had bazooka Joe. You'd open it up, had like a little tiny comic strip yeah. I remember One picture and had the guy with like the turtleneck. Didn't he have like a turtleneck? Maybe I don't remember exactly. We'll look up Bazooka Joe in a few minutes, I'll look it up, I love Bubblicious.
Speaker 2:Bubblicious. Yeah, like watermelon, yeah, there's like a bubble, yum, bubble.
Speaker 1:Bubble.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm. The Fleer Corporation that's a weird name created the first marketable version of bubble gum and eventually branded it Double Bubble oh so that was the first one.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm, did not know that.
Speaker 2:Yep, they used a pink dye because that's all that was available. What if they had?
Speaker 1:black dye. We could have black bubble gum or dark green or purple bubble gum.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so one early bubble gum recipe was too sticky. It was named Blubber, blubber. Say it again three times Uh-uh, this is true. I'm not saying it again. This is true.
Speaker 1:We had this like a trivial pursuit.
Speaker 2:You say it.
Speaker 1:Blubber, blubber.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's not what I said.
Speaker 1:No, I have no Blubber Blubber. It's like a witch thing, torl and trouble.
Speaker 2:We're going to be raising the furniture off the air in just a minute. Who would name it? Blibber Blubber, blibber Bubble.
Speaker 1:And Heart Eyes will walk in the room. Oh God.
Speaker 2:And then Arthur Clown behind him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, right behind him, just laughing at it. Blibber Blubber. Who named it that? I don't know. That person should have been fired immediately.
Speaker 2:They apparently were, because the name did not stick. Oh, you get it.
Speaker 1:You stick, did not stick.
Speaker 2:Introduced in 1975, Bubble Yum Yum. I love it Was the first soft bubble gum on shelves.
Speaker 1:Let me tell you the most disappointing bubble gum in the world.
Speaker 2:Yes, zebra Stripes, remember those that's true, that's true, that's true.
Speaker 1:It's the blow pop when you finally get to the middle.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh yes, it has a great taste for about one minute. It's so good For about 60. It's so good for 30 seconds and then it's gone. And then it's. Then you're chewing like I don't know.
Speaker 1:I've actually chewed silly putty, didn't you, when you were a kid? Just take a bite of it and see what it tastes like.
Speaker 2:No, barry, I didn't.
Speaker 1:Well, my friend of mine did.
Speaker 2:You just said you did?
Speaker 1:I got the story confused. A guy I know actually got.
Speaker 4:How well do you know him? Once I met this guy, who knew this guy? Who knew this guy? Who knew this guy? Who knew this guy? Who knew this guy, who knew this guy's cousin?
Speaker 2:And he did it and they chilled they chewed silly pudding.
Speaker 1:This tastes like blubber blubber. What are you talking about, man? What have you been smoking? Some bubble weed?
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh. Okay, A little something extra for you. The Super Bowl is Sunday. Yes, If you have not heard, I'm sure you have Very excited. Recent survey Top Super Bowl snacks Number one buffalo chicken dip.
Speaker 1:They say it's the first time it's taken over the top spot.
Speaker 2:I will say I am a good buffalo chicken dip maker.
Speaker 1:Would you make some this year? I haven't had that in years. Why.
Speaker 2:I don't want to.
Speaker 1:I haven't had that in years, so Make some Get that low-fat chicken. No, so Make some, get that low-fat chicken.
Speaker 2:No, I'm on a diet dude.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:Get that low-fat chicken, it's not the chicken, it's the cream cheese. Get it off of that skinny chicken, it takes a whole block of scream cheese.
Speaker 1:Scream cheese. You're hooked in scary movies. You read Scream Cheese.
Speaker 2:I think I've said it more than once. I think you said Scream Cheese, so you read.
Speaker 3:Scream Cheese. I think I've said it more than once I think you said Scream Cheese.
Speaker 2:So you take the chicken and you break its neck. You get the canned chicken. Drain the water off of it. Oh, you don't get canned chicken.
Speaker 1:No, you do. No, you get the real chicken. Oh, can I?
Speaker 2:tell you something? Yes, you can. My mama grew up on a farm with chickens, and do you know how they?
Speaker 1:killed them, probably like my grandmother did.
Speaker 2:Grab it by the neck and swing it.
Speaker 1:Like a lasso. What was the other thing?
Speaker 2:I don't know. Could they not come up with something more humane?
Speaker 1:They call this the warp generation. I don't know Anyway.
Speaker 2:They still let outside choking the chicken. Oh God, don't choke the chicken. You add the Scream cheese. Maybe I should make a Halloween recipe book. Go right ahead, you know. Sure, yeah, anyway, buffalo chicken dip is number one. Number two is buffalo wings. I bet that was on the top spot for a long time it was.
Speaker 1:It was knocked off for the first time this year on the survey of what people plan to eat during the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and what did we say about Buffalo Wild Wings If they go into overtime?
Speaker 1:they give free six-piece. There's a certain day they're going to do this.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like the 20th or something.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Number three is nachos, Love nachos. Yeah, yeah. Number four sliders. Oh okay, Little B sandwiches.
Speaker 1:I haven't made those in a long time. Little mini ones, yeah.
Speaker 2:And then number five, Rotel cheese dip. I have actually had that quite a few times this year.
Speaker 1:I love Rotel cheese dip. Yeah, me too. We had it at Christmas.
Speaker 2:Was it Christmas? Yeah, it was. Yeah, it was good. Then here's something to think about this Valentine's Day if you want your significant other to get you a great gift and be extra nice to you.
Speaker 1:Tell them you just found out the easy way to get blood out of the carpet. Yeah, that's good. Thank you, yeah that'll work.
Speaker 4:Come on, it's 620. Wqsb Mornings with Barry and Holly.
Speaker 1:Well, since you've been starting off on a serious note I know Reagan has talked about this. She works in the hospital. The flu has really been bad again over the past couple of weeks.
Speaker 2:Yes, the flu is spreading in at least 41 states. It's causing a 30% increase in ER visits and it's even doing temporary school closures. Wow, there's over 20 million cases, 250,000 hospitalizations and 11,000 deaths so far this year. Oh, that's awful.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know, Because the first round came by a few months ago and you got the flu.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And quite a few people from here got the flu.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah, alabama and Tennessee are the states being, or most of the states being affected.
Speaker 1:So yeah, alabama is in one of these 41 states having a lot of cases.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oof, just be safe, wash your hands, don't sneeze in anybody's face.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because usually you think the weather is the main thing that causes this, but it's not Because you think oh, it's getting warmer, the flu's going to go away.
Speaker 2:No, it's germs that make you sick. It's not the cold weather that makes you sick.
Speaker 1:Because last year a few people got the flu during the summertime. Yeah, which was weird, but that's just the way it is now, yeah, that's how it is.
Speaker 2:And this headline woman convinces husband to sell kidney, then leaves with the money and other man.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's awful, that's terrible.
Speaker 2:A woman from India has been accused of selling her husband's kidney and then using that money to run off with her lover.
Speaker 1:There's your happy Valentine's.
Speaker 2:Happy Valentine's. The woman reportedly convicted her spouse to put up his organ on the black Convinced Convinced. Yeah, are you okay? I ain't messing up, I just want to make sure she didn't convict her husband.
Speaker 1:I mean, she's probably going to be convicted.
Speaker 2:But she convinced her spouse to put up his organ on the black market to pay for their daughter's education. Then she got $11,500 for it, wow. Then she eloped with someone she met on Facebook. Her husband tried to confront her, but he didn't get anywhere.
Speaker 1:So she convinced him that hey, our daughter really wants to go to college.
Speaker 2:Like, hey, honey, we're hitting hard times. We really need to make some money. Can we put up just one of your kidneys on the black market?
Speaker 1:We'll just do it one time. She really wants to go to college.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And it's going to cost about the same amount as one of your kidneys.
Speaker 2:And he says you know what Fine, we can do that.
Speaker 1:Wouldn't that be a red flag? If you're sitting there and she said it's going to cost about the same amount as one of your kidneys, Thinking, how do you know that?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:How do you know what one of my kidneys is worth? Somebody may have told her, I don't know, Maybe her lover was the doctor, I don't know, tell them it's going to cost about $12,000. God.
Speaker 2:Because that's how much money we need. Is that worth leaving your husband for, and running off and getting married? I wouldn't think so. Not $12,000.
Speaker 1:Yeah, not twelve thousand dollars.
Speaker 2:Yeah, ask him for both I mean, that's not even enough to sustain you through the year, you know get both kidneys yeah, not one, but two put them on that stupid. If he's that stupid, he'll probably give you both of them yeah, or maybe like a sure, how about a little piece of your liver?
Speaker 1:yeah, piece of my heart oh yeah, yeah, not as well. That's what you're going to be breaking when you do this to me. Yeah, that that's sad.
Speaker 2:I wonder if she waited until he was out of recovery and at home, or if she just said all right, I got it. Goodbye.
Speaker 1:He probably woke up and they said is somebody here with you that we can call to come back? My wife's out in the lobby. No, sir, no, no.
Speaker 2:Last we saw she said she met him on Facebook.
Speaker 1:They were just making out they were by the coffee. Now they're gone, so who else have you got?
Speaker 2:Oh gosh what about my daughter.
Speaker 1:She doesn't want to go to college. Well, she's not here either. That would be awful to lose a kidney and then you wake up and your wife is gone with another man and she sold your kidney yeah, that would be horrible, horrible that's awful.
Speaker 4:There's no way you could have a happy valentine's day yeah all right 6 30 mornings with barry and hall here on alabama's country giant wqsb gotta talk about like.
Speaker 1:It's like an early double animal story. What is it about people trying to smuggle things in from other countries like this time, 37 large live beetles. When we say live, we don't mean like little ladybugs. This one is like five inches long. You see the picture of it? Uh-huh, I'm looking. They found 37 of these hidden in snacks that somebody had in their suitcase. They put them inside the snack bags and thought that nobody will ever check to look there. Oh my gosh, don't they know? A lot of this stuff goes through the scanners or pretty much everything, and they went through and saw like a pack of cheez-its there with something moving around inside. So they pulled it to the side and began looking through there and they found 37 of these things for worth about $1,500, or coming in from Japan about $1,500. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:Oh what would you do with them? Who wants to buy these? Is there a need for these large live beetles?
Speaker 2:I don't know. Why. Do you think they put them in the snacks? Nobody would look.
Speaker 1:They thought they might just pop it open, look and say, oh, there's snacks, okay, you're good to go. But they went through the scanner and that's when they saw something moving around.
Speaker 2:What if, instead of bugles, they? Were called buggles.
Speaker 1:Buggles oh, that's good.
Speaker 2:Thank you, you didn't give me a laugh, or nothing Well it's weak man.
Speaker 1:What about this one? What about Nutter Beetles Instead of Nutter Butter?
Speaker 2:Don't you dare play a laugh on that. No, okay, I love it. I love yours, okay.
Speaker 1:Okay, got another one.
Speaker 2:What about Cicada Chips? No, like potato chips, oh my gosh, I give up. I give up. Wow, I give up. Wow, I said scream cheese, I couldn't find the temperatures.
Speaker 1:And now you hate my cicada chips Wasn't me, it was the crowd.
Speaker 2:No, the fans, the crowd loved it. Okay, well, try this one. The crowd went wild.
Speaker 1:Then the other, they went mild, they went mild. Then the other animal story In Australia. I couldn't live there. It's so deadly, everything is deadly. I think even the grass can kill you, I think everything. Somebody called and said hey, they called the reptile relocation sydney home office. This is a thing. He said, hey, we need you to come out to our house. We've seen a couple of snakes crawling around the backyard. Now we've counted four. Apparently maybe a mama snake has had babies. So they got out there and, yes, they were coming up out of the ground. They found 102 snakes, 97 newborns in the backyard and then, I guess, the five what? Parents, ew Parents and aunts and uncles.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the whole fam.
Speaker 1:They found 102. You can see a picture of them. Actually, they had got them caught, all of them. They put them in a room and you can see the picture of them in the room. No, no, no, no. I watch this and I do. I never want to see 97 snakes in a bucket ever. It's the red bellied black snake. They say, yes, they are. The creatures are venomous. Their bites are rarely deadly for humans. Rarely, rarely, of course, I'd be the one rarely deadly I mean, are they deadly or not?
Speaker 1:we say they're typically shy, snakes Shy. Oh, I didn't know, snakes were shy. It's just a little shy snake Aw. They just blink their eyes when you shake to them.
Speaker 2:He got embarrassed.
Speaker 1:Aw, oh, the red bellied's now red all over. Oh, you embarrassed him. Put that hoe down.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, you got to chop them heads right off with that hoe. But 102,.
Speaker 1:They just kept pulling the snakes out of the ground.
Speaker 2:Ew, you got to be at some point. When does it?
Speaker 1:end. Yeah, it's like a magician up there.
Speaker 2:Here's one while pulling scarves is pulling snakes.
Speaker 1:And for my next trick, I'm going to make 102 venomous snakes disappear. Go to the ER and be like you know that the snakes are usually shy, but this one, this one really opened up to me.

Speaker 1:Well, it's gonna be a good weekend time for some knowledge nuggets. What's going on today?
Speaker 2:all right. Did you know? One in three adults want to be healthy, but they say they're too tired as a reason why they're not healthy.
Speaker 1:I believe that One in three.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm the one. There's three here.
Speaker 1:Because if you like to work out after work, by the time you get up at like 3, 3.30, you get home after lunch. You say oh, lunch, you got plenty of time. You're tired? No, I'm exhausted.
Speaker 2:I've had a full day of nine hour day already, yeah, yeah, so, um, that's tough, but in the warmer weather you and I, barry, we go for a walk yeah, because and that's going to happen in about a month I'm excited because it stays daylight longer and it's warmer and I love to walk outside.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's where we found waddles.
Speaker 2:Yes, we did. That's where we found waddles, yeah, rip. Yeah, RIP waddles. Only 17% of women will burp in front of their partner.
Speaker 1:Oh, only 7?. Oh, 1 out of 10, roughly.
Speaker 2:I wouldn't.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:I can't Like I can't.
Speaker 1:I try not to burp in front of anybody.
Speaker 3:No, well, I think it depends on how far in the relationship you are.
Speaker 2:You think so?
Speaker 3:Yeah, if you're dating you kind of hold back, but once you're married, you know, tie the knot. It's free game.
Speaker 2:Yeah game on Sound from every orifice in the body. No, yeah, I'm too scared.
Speaker 1:I am too. I don't. There's some who thinks it's like an honor. Yeah, no to do it in front of someone I love you so much.
Speaker 3:Would y'all consider couples to be happier if they do it? Because I did see something the other day that said that couples that do stuff like that are actually happier.
Speaker 1:I would say no, especially if you're in the bed and do the old head under the cover.
Speaker 2:That's when you're probably going to be, oh God, the Dutch oven, not the Dutch oven.
Speaker 1:That's when you really are comfortable. Oh Lord, that's too comfortable.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 70% of us feel lack of motivation and experience, boredom at our jobs, nope Ooh.
Speaker 1:There are some here. Yeah, Not here. There's some bored that is trying to bore you with them.
Speaker 2:Do you think there are some? Yeah, do you think? Yeah, bored, they just try to bore you with them. Do you think there are some?
Speaker 1:yeah, do you think yeah, oh, oh, I got you. I know they run out of things to do. They want to make bring you down to their boredom, yeah I love my job I really look forward to coming into my job.
Speaker 2:I don't see me ever getting tired of it. Now the hours are difficult, like this morning it was oh gosh.
Speaker 3:I was stuck to my bed like I did not want to get up, but got up, came on having a good time yep, well, I think, uh like for y'all it's fun, but you also have the personal responsibility of making people's day and I think y'all do a really, really good job with that. With people with a listening area, you know a lot of them wake up just to listen to y'all for the day and y'all basically make their day. Thanks, will I appreciate that.
Speaker 1:That's an honor. It is Because rarely do I sit in my desk and have nothing to do. No, if I do, I'll leave. No, I don't just hang around just to be hanging around. There's enough to do here. People say, well, you get off at 9, would you just go? No, no, there's something to do. When I leave, there's still stuff to do. But I said it'll be here tomorrow.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Well, and two, what yesterday was your only off afternoon? Yeah, I mean calling basketball. Yeah, so I mean you're dedicated.
Speaker 2:He calls football, he calls basketball, he calls Parsons baseball. He does a lot of jobs.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and I guarantee you that there's more people out there that appreciate what you do than you realize.
Speaker 1:So I'll tell you the reason I didn't tell you a little. It's not a downer moment. I'll tell you the reason why I try to stay busy. Because we both all of us, I think battle with some type of depression. Oh yeah, or I'm not afraid to say I mean, some people are afraid to talk about that, but we do. And yeah, to me, uh, depression is when I leave here and I go home and I'm alone. That's when it's the hardest.
Speaker 2:So you'd rather be at work with people.
Speaker 1:I'd rather be doing something, even if I'm outside walking, at least that helps. But like right now, I go home and all my day I think, okay, do I have a game tonight?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And, like last night, I said no, and last night, being honest, a hard night.
Speaker 2:Really.
Speaker 1:I went home even though there was nothing to do, and my mind? When I get by myself, the mind goes into depression. It does?
Speaker 3:It goes into a pit, for sure.
Speaker 1:That's why, when you say you want to go have lunch, I'm excited.
Speaker 2:Yeah, see, I'm opposite. When I'm going through a lot, which is always, I like to be by myself, I kind of shut down, I don't reach out to people, I like to be by myself, I kind of shut down, like I don't reach out to people, I kind of shut down and want to deal with it myself, yeah, and have time to think and have time to process and not have to entertain or, you know, worry about other people. What do you do when you're stressed, I'm on Barry's side. You need to be around somebody.
Speaker 3:I need to be around somebody or be active to keep my mind occupied. If I don't, my mind goes crazy.
Speaker 1:Some people love the weekends. I almost dread the weekends because if I'm not working, I'm looking for something to do to keep my mind busy. There's only so much TV you can watch that you actually, after a while you say, okay, I've had enough of this, I don't want to watch TV anymore right now.
Speaker 3:Well, pick up Pickleball and you can play with us.
Speaker 2:Yeah there you go.
Speaker 1:Full contact Pickleball. We're going to show you that, hey, we could do Pickleball.
Speaker 2:We could be a team against him and Ariel.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we. It's becoming the new craze now, I love it.
Speaker 1:Are you in for the full contact, full force, you know we're on the same side.
Speaker 2:Are you fighting with me?
Speaker 1:We're probably going to get killed, then He'll kill us. It'll be fine, though. We'll recover eventually.
Speaker 2:If it helps with your depression, I'll help you play the full contact pickleball I'll bring my knee pads.
Speaker 3:I'm telling you some of those ladies that are out there.
Speaker 2:I mean, they get intense. Do they they?
Speaker 3:trash talk.
Speaker 2:I've heard them talk walking by the lake I understand the paddle and I understand you're at a court, but what do you use as the ball?
Speaker 3:It's kind of like a wiffle ball. It's like a firmer wiffle ball. So A wiffle ball, it's like a firmer wiffle ball, okay, so.
Speaker 2:Okay, well, anyway, I'm not part of that 70%. I love my job. Love being able to help people. Love this platform where we can talk about depression and anxiety and help others dealing with it. Love everything about WQSP.
Speaker 1:To leave it on a positive note, the weekends are tough, but you need to find a way to deal with it and you've got to find a way. Holly's found a different way, me and will have a different way it's. It's hard to find a way that really works every day. Sometimes it don't matter what you do it's still going to be a dark day yeah this guy, you can't help it talk about it, talk about it, yeah talking about. It does help a lot.
Speaker 4:All right, 758 mornings with barry and hall here on alabama's country giant wqsb speech allSB.
Speaker 1:All we want to do is park. That's what we called it back in the day in Crossville.
Speaker 2:Went like kissing.
Speaker 1:Go parking.
Speaker 2:What do you do there?
Speaker 1:Make out oh, you go parking. Parking is what you called it.
Speaker 2:Is that what the song's talking about?
Speaker 1:No sort of Not really. If you listen to the words it's not really about making out, but it's just. You have to go back and listen to the song again. Not really Parking.
Speaker 4:That's what we called it back in the day.
Speaker 2:Do you go parking?
Speaker 1:Not very often. I didn't date much.
Speaker 2:You don't have to date to go parking.
Speaker 1:No, you don't really, at least once. No, I mean yeah, you can just go the act of parking yeah.
Speaker 2:Is there more to it?
Speaker 1:No, I mean, that's what I'm saying. I mean you don't have to actually go out on a day to go parking.
Speaker 2:Oh, no, no, no, you can just go straight to parking.
Speaker 1:You can go straight to parking. Yeah, if you want to skip the. So what about? What did you call it back in the day when people from Albertville Was it called parking? No, we didn't, Because you had to drive about 30 minutes to see a movie or something. Yeah, no, so you?
Speaker 2:had to find a way to entertain yourself. We didn't park. But also I, for real, was so sheltered so put on lockdown by my daddy.
Speaker 1:That's a good move yeah. And I wasn't allowed to go very many places when I was, all parents should do that 14, 15, 16. Well, you don't need to.
Speaker 2:Why I want to go out. I want to go parking.
Speaker 1:Put you up on that tower. Like what is it? Rapunzel.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's pretty much my life. Do you know what my curfew was when I was a senior in high school? What? 10 o'clock? No.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes. A lot of times that's when people are just getting out. I know At that age it blows my mind now.
Speaker 2:I know. So at 3 o'clock I'm like, hey, y'all want to hang out, y'all want to do something. Everybody's like no, no, no, Not until about 9 or 10.
Speaker 1:No, what are you sheltered?
Speaker 2:Let me just stay up in my castle.
Speaker 1:I know. All right time to learn. They did a study in Germany. Why, I don't know. They did a study on ants, not like uncles and aunts, but ants, you know, the ones that crawl around.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And they found that ants can hold grudges against other ants and other insects in rival colonies. Oh, they examined black garden ants which live in in colonies and they regularly come into contact with other groups. A series of experiments according to this study says that ants will act aggressively toward members of other colonies they had previous contact with. In other words, if they had a run-in with another colony, they they hold a grudge and remember. How can you tell them apart? They all look the same to me.
Speaker 2:I mean, I guess they probably have like some kind of either scent or sound, that they Mustache, can you? See, maybe, if it's the Sideburns, what's it called in that play? Oh my gosh, I can't what. The something versus the somethings.
Speaker 1:Oh, I narrowed it down. I've almost got it now, hold on, it's coming to me. Give me another clue.
Speaker 2:It's like the black jackets versus the preppy boys, but I can't remember what it is.
Speaker 1:West Side Story.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, it's West Side Story, Were they I?
Speaker 1:don't know.
Speaker 2:Hold on, just go ahead and finish this.
Speaker 1:Don't worry about that. We're talking about ants.
Speaker 2:Okay, but you know what a good name for this show would be? What, sons of Antarchy.
Speaker 1:Sons of Antarchy. That's about what it would be like All that brawl, yeah, when they're going at it with the little antennas, you know, pulling off one of them's antenna and beating them with it.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That kind of stuff. I remember the movie Ants. That was good. I'm trying to picture those ants. Those were. Some of them were nice ants.
Speaker 2:I've never not met a nice ant.
Speaker 1:Okay, why would they do a study on this and to see if ants hold grudges? They have nothing else to do in Germany right now. I mean, I think if they hold grudges they'll be coming after me, because many times I'll walk by and see a big old ant bed in the yard and I'll kick the top off of it, just to make them mad.
Speaker 1:You know, they probably got me on their radar saying hey, there's this guy who lives right there. He'll kick that top off your aunt now, so be careful, he means business. Then there's that holly she's got a dog that pees on it no, I do.
Speaker 2:I have a whole full thing of whatever ant killer I have and I use it because I get my aunts get bad. Oh, what in my yard bad? What do you?
Speaker 1:like they're out there, big bad. Oh, I thought you meant they're throwing stuff at you.
Speaker 2:They are. They're trying to key my car. They're stealing my mail. They're keying your car Yep. Digging through the trash.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:All kinds of stuff Trying to fight my dog.
Speaker 1:We used to have an ant farm.
Speaker 2:I've told you we got an ant farm. It's one that comes in, a little glass thing, you know, and it's amazing to watch if you want the kids to be fascinated?
Speaker 1:they should be. Yeah, get an ant farm? Yeah, just to watch them work inside there. Well, she loved her ant farm and one day she decided they needed more sunshine. I didn't know she did this, so she bet they had a farm in the window on a beautiful sunny day and that when we got home the ants were pretty much gone and were wadded up to nothing, because when the sun hit that glass it cooked every one of them in.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:She had to come apart.
Speaker 2:Here's a thought. I've had this as a late night thought before.
Speaker 1:So she fried her ants.
Speaker 2:She fried her ants, yeah, I have thought about this so many times. So you know, if you poke or kick an ant bed, there's like hundreds of thousands of ants that come out right.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, when you put ant killer on the bed, where do the ants go? They're dead. But if you kick up the dirt, it's just dirt. Where?
Speaker 1:are all the dead bodies? Do they take the bodies further in the ground?
Speaker 2:I don't know what happens. I don't know when do the the ground. I don't know what happens?
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:Where do the ants go?
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:Because all that's left is just tunnels and dirt.
Speaker 1:That's true.
Speaker 2:And there's like thousands of them.
Speaker 1:We should research this. Where do the dead ants go?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's like the old Pink Panther song Dead, ant, dead, ant, dead, ant, dead Ant.
Speaker 2:Dead, ant, dead Ant, dead, ant, dead Ant.
Speaker 1:Alright, it's age 48.
Speaker 4:Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's Country Giant WQSB.
