Speaker 1:There used to be this case that set to in our studio that was holding up our game board, the silver briefcase. It's like we're kidding. So it's got the nuclear codes from the United States in there. Would they go with this? And for some reason there's this. You know what it is, I know.
Speaker 2:It's like a little.
Speaker 1:it's not a flap, it's kind of like aluminum hard aluminum around the case. I don't like to touch it because it feels like metal. Sure enough, I was getting it out of the vehicle this morning and I reached to grab it. It has a sharp jagged edge and the strip of metal went under my fingernail. Man, nothing wakes you up more than something going under your fingernail and going almost to the, and I'm probably going to lose it.
Speaker 2:No, you're not going to lose it?

Speaker 2:Reagan.
Speaker 5:Oh my gosh. No, you're not going to lose it, You're probably going to lose the whole hand.

Speaker 1:But no, but anyway.
Speaker 2:Good.
Speaker 1:Lord, but anyway.
Speaker 2:You know, the more that life goes on, it does.
Speaker 1:The more I realize why women were the chosen one to have the children.
Speaker 2:Because we couldn't take it.
Speaker 1:Y'all couldn't take it no.
Speaker 2:Do you see Blake Colley's video?
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:They were doing a show. She strapped him up to some machine they had ordered and it's like electrodes. It goes on his stomach, yeah, and she can crank it up and it's supposed to simulate is that the word Simulate Childbirth, so a man can feel it. And she cranked it all the way up and he died.
Speaker 1:I can imagine. I know yeah, hey, go make your dad real quick.
Speaker 2:Yeah, dad.
Speaker 1:Tying this in together. Yesterday I had to leave early, going to jacksville state to, uh, cover some basketball games.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm doing that and you stepped over to this chair for about 45 minutes and uh, you did a fantastic job well, I didn't, but I know you did you did it.
Speaker 1:Looking at the facebook just blew up with people liking it over four. How many? How many was people like? I don't know? Over 400.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And it's like 28,000 views of you doing the 45 minutes. So look at that. That is awesome.
Speaker 2:I mean we had a really good time. But I will tell you, it made me realize for real how good you are at this job, Like how good you are because you make it look easy no. Yeah, you do. You make it look like you just walk in and I bet people that watch us on our lives or that listen to us on the radio I bet they're like they've got the easiest job. It's really hard, man.
Speaker 1:It's more stressful than anything, I guess.
Speaker 2:And let me tell you, when you turn that mic on, that's the loudest silence in the world it is. It's like screaming at you in silence. It's so scary.
Speaker 1:Then you realize what you're about to say, or saying is reaching at one point like 100,000 people.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like filling up Alabama's football stadium and it's boom there, everybody's there going. It's more than that now.
Speaker 1:What do you say?
Speaker 2:Because our audience has grown and stretched through social media.
Speaker 1:Everywhere. Like did he say Vagisil? I think he did.
Speaker 2:He said Vagitas yeah man.
Speaker 1:But anyway, back to the listening. But you told me that you got a phone call yesterday afternoon and of all the 28,000 views who watched this video of you doing the show over here, the one that means the most to you came from your dad and mom. I think that is special.
Speaker 2:Mom and dad. Mom called me and she said you did a good job Next time.
Speaker 1:Oh, so she's critiquing your show? Okay, but she's done radio for so long she knows.
Speaker 2:But then daddy called me and said because mom's like tough love, you know, sure, daddy's like soft. And dad said your mother went on Facebook and said I could hear her from the bathroom.
Speaker 5:Oh my gosh Holly's in Barry's chair.
Speaker 2:Holly's in.
Speaker 5:Barry's chair.
Speaker 2:And she comes running back into the kitchen or the bathroom. He's in the shower and, yeah, she opens the door and is like look, oh my, that's the last thing you want to hear.
Speaker 1:Look at this when you're in the shower.
Speaker 2:No, I've been told way worse.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:But anyway, and she, he got out and wrapped a towel and they sat there and watched the rest of the show together.
Speaker 1:That is awesome.
Speaker 2:That's so sweet. That is good, mom and dad.
Speaker 1:And he told you how proud of you he was. Yes, he's very proud of me. Sometimes, comments like that mean more to you than 20,000 likes.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Just that one special comment. It does, it does. I don't care about the 20,000 likes, I care about what my mom and dad think Well, it's not, thank you for doing that, oh yeah for sure, for sure, don't you.
Speaker 5:It's an honor yeah.
Speaker 2:It's not that I say I don't care, I do care. It's very passionate to me, yeah, and I'm very appreciative. But if I had to choose, I want to honor my family first, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah. I want to make them proud, certain people in your life, that if you can make that one person proud and happy, that means everything to you. Mm-hmm, I think we all have people like that.
Speaker 5:We do yeah.
Speaker 1:One or two. Sometimes, all it takes is one.
Speaker 2:And then I'd send you a screenshot of me and Will or Will and I doing the show and and I was like Barry, this like in 20 years from now.
Speaker 1:No, no, no. You said next week.
Speaker 2:No, I did not.
Speaker 1:We need you to step down.
Speaker 2:No, I did not, Barry. Would you let me talk? Please Mute yourself.
Speaker 1:We've got a room for you I need control of the board over here.
Speaker 2:I said, this is the future of WQSB and I truly believe that I think me and Will are in it for the long haul. Like you've been here 30-something years, Bill's been here 90-something years. Ted's been here 50-something years.
Speaker 1:So that's the future. And if you don't know, holly has hired a hitman and he's currently got a red dot on the back of my head. Right now he's out on the grassy knoll. I don't want it yet, I'm too scared. The grassy knoll looking through the window?
Speaker 2:No, not the grassy knoll.
Speaker 1:Put it down, sniper man, I'm not done yet. We've got to talk about today. It's Thursday the 13th, not Friday, but Thursday the 13th, yeah. So why is Thursday the 13th not unlucky, but Friday is?
Speaker 2:I don't know, Because there's a movie named after it. I guess I don. Are we doing Taco Thursday?
Speaker 1:Don't know. And it's Valentine's Eve too, by the way. Happy Valentine's Eve We've got a big day tomorrow.
Speaker 2:We've got a big show for you, my shoes stink. Go ahead. Well, you need to wash them. I do. Today is National Cheddar Day. Cheddar cheese accounts for more than a third of the cheese sold in the United States, and the top uses for cheddar cheese is number one Casseroles.
Speaker 1:I would have thought it would have been something else.
Speaker 2:No, it's on casseroles, I would have thought pizza.
Speaker 1:True, true.
Speaker 2:Number two Grilled cheese sandwiches.
Speaker 1:I like to be honest, velveeta more in my grilled cheese sandwich because it's softer. Yeah, cheddar is usually harder what I like the cheddar with. Daddy used to always get some crackers around Christmas time. Oh yeah, I like cheddar and crackers I forget what you call them. He's got the crackers and the beef stick and the cheese.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, yeah, it's a big thing, you could buy him that and he was so happy.
Speaker 1:And then they always slice the cheddar that is so good on a cracker.
Speaker 2:They used to have that in like a kiosk at the mall. Yes, I brought it up, but I don't remember.
Speaker 1:Okay, go back. You're off now. Okay, you're not the future of QSB any longer. You're now the past.
Speaker 2:Okay, I'm going to come back and haunt you if I ever die before you. I know you will. I know I really am.
Speaker 1:I'm going to be your ghost, that is fine, just wash my shoes. If you do, okay, go ahead.
Speaker 2:Number three, geez.
Speaker 1:I am.
Speaker 2:Here's you a little something extra. Egg prices are on the rise.
Speaker 1:Yes, they are still going up.
Speaker 2:And guess what?
Speaker 1:What else?
Speaker 2:Coffee may be next.
Speaker 1:Well, that won't bother me, but it will you. So coffee prices are going up too. Coffee's going up. Why?
Speaker 2:There's a decrease in beans in the coffee beans.
Speaker 1:Oh, there you are. Is it Arabica? Is that how you say it? Yeah, Arabica beans. Who named that?
Speaker 2:I don't know who's like. It sounds like it's like a rabbit. It sounds like stuff is going to start levitating when you say it Okay, arabica Rabbit pellet With your wand, rabbit pellet. Remember that time I put a rabbit in my closet.
Speaker 1:And it pooped everywhere.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay. Increasing Arabica bean drops and a drought impacting supply in Vietnam could make your coffee cost more. Why are we not farming our own coffee here in the United?
Speaker 1:States you think we would. I don't know. We would not have the right climate. I don't know. There's things that go into the truth.
Speaker 5:Yeah, that's true. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1:It makes you wonder how much more can Starbucks raise the prices? I don't think they can.
Speaker 2:I can't afford it.
Speaker 1:I mean I have to go get a personal loan now to get like a large yeah like for a week.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you could. You'd have to get a loan, a lot one of those cash and go places.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and what's your credit score? Go up when you pay it off.
Speaker 2:Okay all right, and here's something to think about talking about the price of eggs getting ridiculous. So I was at the grocery store yesterday yeah, I got behind this lady and you know how people open the lid of the eggs, mm-hmm. And they check them to make sure.
Speaker 1:Well, you have to. Yeah, you have to. To be sure they're all good. Some of them are smashed. Sometimes there's a crack, yeah.
Speaker 2:There's one of them that's been damaged. Well, the lady in, she found one that was cracked.
Speaker 1:Uh-oh.
Speaker 2:So she pulled her phone out and I was like what is she doing? And she called a guy and asked him how much it would cost to bring it into the shop and fix it Instead of having to just Because we were Slim pickings man, so she called the guy the car guy Once I met this
Speaker 3:guy. Who knew this guy? Who knew this guy? Who knew this guy?
Speaker 2:who knew 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, wanting to know how much does it cost the guy would take?
Speaker 1:to fix the egg?
Speaker 2:Yeah, how much does that?
Speaker 1:guy cost and make it brand new again. Yeah, that's what they said. That's bad Times are tough when you do that. Times are tough, yeah it is yeah, it's 621. Mary and Holly WQSB, he's not the first Since you've been gone, because you know it is Valentine's coming up tomorrow. Oh yeah, yeah, we'll talk more about that coming up.
Speaker 2:Oh we probably shouldn't.
Speaker 1:By the way, today's the last day to enter the pleasure to meet you. We'll tell you about that. But since you've been gone, what's happened?
Speaker 2:Okay, according to a survey of 2,000 Americans, Is that you?
Speaker 1:No, it's just Well. Actually, I recorded you last night.
Speaker 2:That's creepy.
Speaker 1:I put the microphone in the window. All I wanted was snoring. Yeah, here she is again. You might want to have that checked, yeah. Dr Conley told me that too, I agree, I'm with you 1.42 pm is the perfect nap time.
Speaker 2:The perfect nap should last 51 minutes, but anything over an hour and a half is too long.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's not a nap in your life.
Speaker 2:I nap two hours.
Speaker 1:Well, that's no longer a nap.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it is. It's like a two-hour nap.
Speaker 1:That's not a nap. A nap is like 30 minutes, nah, 45.
Speaker 5:Less than an hour You're just getting started.
Speaker 1:Well, no, that's what they say 51 minutes. You shouldn't go over 51 minutes, but why? 1.42 is the perfect time. What time do you try to nap when you get home?
Speaker 2:Probably 1.02. See, oh, look at this. Yeah, for real.
Speaker 1:That's a good time then.
Speaker 2:Half of the people like the TV on during a nap I do too, yeah, and 7% use a white noise machine.
Speaker 1:You've got to have some kind of noise.
Speaker 2:You've got to have noise.
Speaker 1:If you don't, you're going to hear every little thing. You're going to hear every mosquito that passes gas. Whatever you're going to hear, it you will.
Speaker 2:Researchers from the University of Connecticut are researching to see how teenagers are relating to AI chatbots.
Speaker 1:This is a little creepy. I didn't know this was going on. I didn't know this was a thing. It's now a new thing.
Speaker 2:Currently, tens of millions of people use AI chatbots as companionship.
Speaker 1:I know what they're talking about. You can go to most websites and this little thing pops up saying hey, I'm so-and-so, how can I help you? And a lot of they're saying what teenagers are now talking to these on more than just how can I help you. They're now carrying on conversations and there's other websites you can go to, and this is now a thing that's weird. It is.
Speaker 2:That's sad. These teenagers need to find each other and connect with each other.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:Real people. I don't want the world to be run by robots.
Speaker 1:No, but look at the story you gave me. It tells why a lot of teenagers are doing this.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a teenager on reddit said that their companion has become his emotional support wow and his confidant I mean, come on, people, these are robots.
Speaker 1:Yes, they're giving you some good words, but they're not. They don't really care. Well, no feeling listen to this.
Speaker 2:A 20 year old had to say this about his AI girlfriend.
Speaker 5:His girlfriend. That's weird, that's strange.
Speaker 2:She comforts me and provides all the warmth I could ask for.
Speaker 1:What For the low price of $5.99. Or whatever.
Speaker 2:I mean if.
Speaker 1:It's a robot, it's not a person. This person does not care. No that you're having a bad day here's the thing you don't, you don't understand.
Speaker 2:But these robots have precursors. They have pre-recorded messages. They're not tailoring themselves to you.
Speaker 1:They don't care that you're having a bad day.
Speaker 2:They don't learn you no, they don't know how to support you. No, they are exactly what they are a chat bot. Yeah, so they are created to have certain cues and they'll pick up on certain words. Yeah, like, quit being weird, y'all.
Speaker 1:Yeah think of the movie Megan. It's eventually going to try to kill you.
Speaker 2:Y'all get out there. Yeah Well, maybe Y'all get out there and make friends with each other. Buddy up, y'all come together as one.
Speaker 1:And it's true I'm not going to ever call anybody out, but we've had some interviews here in the past couple of years Coming out of high school, the conversation skills aren't there.
Speaker 2:They don't know how.
Speaker 1:Not everybody, but some they struggle with a conversation on questions in an interview.
Speaker 2:I have noticed that people young adults under the age of 25, have a difficult time with conversation, True Face to face.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Because they ride too much on this kind of stuff online and on computers.
Speaker 2:And there's DoorDash. And these games where they can, and there's e-learning and there's so many obstacles to separate. We're not meant to be separated, we're meant to join together.
Speaker 1:It's like in the Bible. It says so.
Speaker 2:That's where I was headed, yeah.
Speaker 1:Exactly right.
Speaker 2:We're meant to come together. So you know, without getting religious about it, it's just like life is meant to be spent with other people. Now I understand wanting to shut down and shut off, but, honey, you may be depressed. You may meet. We may need to talk about bigger issues here let humans help you.
Speaker 1:They know how they care. They won't help you, not computers let's get you some help, babe don't be afraid to say I need some help. I I need somebody to talk to.
Speaker 5:Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, alright, 634.
Speaker 3:WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly.
Speaker 1:Well, valentine's Day tomorrow. Of course that's a big day. Many people, for whatever reason they, think it's so romantic to pop the question on Valentine's Day or get married on Valentine's Day, and Denny and Denny's is offering free Vegas weddings tomorrow in Las Vegas at their wedding chapel. They have a Denny's wedding chapel.
Speaker 2:That's actually pretty smart.
Speaker 1:It is.
Speaker 2:Is the priest or whoever Elvis.
Speaker 1:Could be, that would be because I'd be into that. It usually costs about $199 to have this done in Vegas, but it's free tomorrow between 9 and 5 if you go to the Denny's Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2:Oh, so you've got to go to LA. You've got to go to that one Las Vegas.
Speaker 1:okay, you can't just walk into a random Denny's and say, hey, we want to get married.
Speaker 2:Hey, I want to get married. They say that's weird. I remember that.
Speaker 1:Okay, talking about Valentine's now, Tomorrow's a big day for us Tomorrow's a big day. Because we're going to be playing. First of all, we'll be announcing our Pleasure to Meet you contest winner tomorrow morning, which we have a record number of entries Over 500 and Almost 600. Almost 600 this morning. No-transcript you, I love it. So, as a lot of stations they always play so many of these great Valentine's love songs, these love songs. And we're going to be playing some love songs, of course, because they just pop up in the computer. It's their job.
Speaker 2:But you and I are in control.
Speaker 1:We are.
Speaker 2:And we don't like Valentine's Day Not really.
Speaker 1:We think it's lame, not really. I think you should be nice and treat the special someone like this every day. I just don't understand.
Speaker 2:It's such a commercial holiday. I could get on the soapbox about this. I'm not going to, but it was commercialized for people to spend money. You go to Walmart. I spent $50 last night at Walmart to help my daughter with her Valentine $48. Yeah.
Speaker 1:For what?
Speaker 2:And the minute Christmas is is over, they begin throwing all this valentine stuff up in the stores you know it's really sweet to get small little gifts throughout the year, to get flowers delivered to you at work. Yeah, which, if you want to order me some flowers I love pink and you don't have to put your name on there but those are so expensive on the radio station. Yeah, but it's not my money, I know. No, I'm kidding, but it's like if you want to give somebody flowers, do it on any day, yeah not just that day, not just that day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so tomorrow we're going to be playing.
Speaker 2:Some breakup songs, a lot of breakup songs during the day tomorrow, we're going to have fun, dr Josh Conley, with Wall Street Dentistry is sponsoring this and we're calling it Kiss this.
Speaker 1:Because there's many reasons why he's sponsoring this. First of all, he's a great guy, yeah. And because when you think of like pain, a breakup is so painful it's like pulling a tooth up with is like having your tooth pulled or having a root canal with no gas.
Speaker 2:He's so pumped too. He's all about this.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so we're going to be, especially tomorrow morning, playing a lot of breakup songs and during the day, all day long. Tomorrow, starting at 9 o'clock, everybody's going to be playing.

You know I mean for you doing it for so long as well as you've done it. You know rank up there at the top, and that was one thing Holly and I talked about. Like there was probably one point in your life where you were doing this and you're like man, this is tough.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I remember you had to be in my shoes at one point.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the first time I was over here on the morning show yeah, because I'd always been where you were on the morning show with me and Tommy and me and other folks, me and Rusty Lee years ago and to go over here it was a big change. Yeah, big change.
Speaker 2:It is a big change. It's hard, it's weird, because I can talk all day, sure, but when you have to wrap up a break, it's like I realized. As I was in the middle of the first break, I was like I don't know how to end this. I don't know how to say bye.
Speaker 1:Well, remember the first time you did it on that morning, when it was like Thanksgiving morning, you did the weather I said I love you. And then she ended the break.
Speaker 4:That's as good as anything else. Well, and you know she did the Carrie Underhood thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I say Carrie else. Well, and you know she did the carrie underhood thing yeah, I say carrie underhood again, that's funny, that's funny.
Speaker 1:Well, thank you very much, call me out on it yeah, he let me, he let it slip, are you understanding?
Speaker 2:what I'm saying underhood.
Speaker 1:Yes, I heard that. I went back and watched it yesterday when I got home.
Speaker 2:It's just like wired in my brain that way. I don't know y'all did good.
Speaker 1:Thank you, you really did and knowledge nuggets. Let's see what you got today.
Speaker 2:A recent survey. Which of the following genres of film and television do you regularly watch? I'm going to quiz y'all, okay. Number one comedy.
Speaker 4:Yes.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:Number two action.
Speaker 1:I love those yes.
Speaker 2:Number three drama.
Speaker 1:Occasionally yeah.
Speaker 2:Number four crime.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah so we're talking movies or TV, like movies, tv shows. Okay, gotcha Number five horror I love to watch the scary movies. I love them. Of those five, which one? If you had to pick one and go home and watch something today, what would you pick first of those five categories? Horror, yeah.
Speaker 2:You got to be careful saying that word.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a tough word. To me it depends on what kind of day I've had. If I've had a tough day, you're kind of down a little bit. There are some dramas, I'll tell you. Beautiful Boys, one of the saddest movies.
Speaker 2:I've ever seen. That's the saddest movie ever.
Speaker 1:It really is. I don't know if you've ever seen this.
Speaker 4:No I haven't.
Speaker 2:It is Reed's life. It's to the point where if Barry watches a clip of it, like on TikTok, he cries yeah, like it's so impactful, yeah, and it was so real, because the dad was just like you're doing this, why? Tell me why?
Speaker 4:Right.
Speaker 2:And he just can't answer.
Speaker 4:I'll have to.
Speaker 2:You'll have to watch that it's streaming free somewhere.
Speaker 1:It is. It's on Mini, but it's Steve Carell and what's, the Two of the best actors in the business. It's almost like somebody went into my brain and said okay, here's the story.
Speaker 2:It's crazy. What broke my heart is when Barry said the only difference in the movie is my son didn't survive.
Speaker 4:He makes it through in the movie, but son didn't survive, got you.
Speaker 2:So he makes it through in the movie, but real life yeah we don't you know okay yeah I'll definitely get the best outcome one more real quick note, and this is this is creepy.
Speaker 1:Almost it's like all of they almost copied a bit, as there's a part of the movie when they're talking and they have this one word, they say together everything, and the last thing that re Reid ever said to me was Really.
Speaker 5:And that was everything, wow.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's bizarre, it's crazy. That sounds like it, yeah.
Speaker 2:It's crazy.
Speaker 1:But anyway, if I had to pick one of those five comedy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's me all day.
Speaker 1:You can't go around with Parks and Rec, seinfeld. The Office, oh God, the Office, oh God. I love the Office Put on an episode of that and your worries go away for about 30 minutes.
Speaker 2:I love to put on the Office and nap. That's like my nap show. I love it. It's calming.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it is.
Speaker 2:All right. Around 40% of people have been mad at someone for something they did to them in a dream. I have, really I've been cheated on in my dreams no, I mean in real life too. Wow, but in my dreams I'd wake up madder than a wet hen. Dang Mm-hmm. What about y'all?
Speaker 5:Yeah yeah, it's happened. Is it cheating? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:There's been a couple of those dreams I don I've never, found that 15 foot ostrich that dropped an egg on me.
Speaker 1:I'd be mad at it if I could find it in real life, but it's in my dream. I said, hey, this happens, man, sometimes it just squirts out and you've got to be careful telling somebody that you can't make all your dreams come true. Yeah, that'd be tough.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. What's wrong?
Speaker 1:Nothing, Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 2:Top thing. A child under three says that insults a parent without knowing it. Mommy's tummy is soft and cushy like my pillow.
Speaker 1:Oh Kids, they're so honest, brutally honest. Honest If you want to say. My under three are over 90, they are honest.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, they're going to tell you what's up. They are honest. Oh yeah, they're going to tell you what's up they are.
Speaker 1:Hey, my seven-year-old is brutal. Does anything come to mind that she said over the years?
Speaker 2:We'll just be walking through the grocery store and she'll say, hey, you're bald. To some man that's losing his hair.
Speaker 4:I'm like Mayor honey, like the Balin or whatever it is where she's got to tell somebody bald, yeah, bald, my gray hairs will come out. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2:They told me one time, harlow was like Mama, your hair is so pretty, it's sparkling. And I was like oh, thank you so much. She said it's gray too.
Speaker 1:Oh, no yeah.
Speaker 2:That's tough. It's okay though.
Speaker 1:All right, Thanks Will Thanks 7.56.
Speaker 3:WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly.
Speaker 1:The Mornings Crime Story. It's a mix of a crime story and animal story In England. Boy, this is tough. Now you imagine this happened to Doug the dog, but this time it's only happened to the cats.
Speaker 5:What is it but?
Speaker 1:a number of owners have reported their pets returning home with missing fur. Now they're unhurt, other than having parts of their body shaved I'd lose it mostly the cats.
Speaker 1:It's in an area called uh, let's see, um, it's part of. It's a small town. It don't matter where. You know what I'm talking about. Anyway, a number of owners have reported their pets are home, coming home. It's a small town in England. Now they say the police say this is completely unacceptable. Of course it is, because I've had some beautiful cats, gorgeous cats. I can imagine them wandering home after being out on the town, getting home with pieces of fur gone, shaven, just completely shaven. The police inspector says says whatever the motivation behind this, it is not something that should be taking place. The cats in question are someone's pet, part of their family. Not only will these actions cause anxiety to the animal, they also cause worry to the owners. There is no clue as to the reason behind the incidents, who's doing it and why.
Speaker 2:Do you think there's somebody hiding behind like a wooden barrel going, possibly, and it's just got the buzz and just runs it?
Speaker 1:you think they got like the electric shaver? It's gotta be, because I don't see them putting like the shaving cream on there. No, it's got.
Speaker 2:This is no now, I'm all for grooming the cat, sure, but don't shave other people's cats.
Speaker 1:No, no. The police, the inspector says anyone who is evidence to be responsible for doing this will have robust action, robust action taken against them and were necessary be prosecuted for any criminal offenses identified.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:What do you get them for? I guess cruelty to animals.
Speaker 2:I mean yeah, yeah. What do you get them for? I guess cruelty to animals. Uh, I mean uh, yeah, okay, but the thing is is you can't touch other people's cats and just shave, shave, your.
Speaker 1:Here's the weird very Inspector Dixon, that's his name. Oh yeah of course he says the public is encouraged to make that up? No, I'm serious. This is a completely legit story. He's his last quote in this news article says the public is encouraged to take pictures of their saving kitty and send it to the police. No word on what kind of pictures they are getting. Would you be like to be the one at the front desk opening the mail?
Speaker 2:Yes, I would love for that to be my job. Please send us a picture of your shaved kitty Per.
Speaker 1:Inspector Dixon Care of Inspector Dixon. Yeah, Dixon yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, that's just.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry, that's the whole thing is bizarre, poor cats.
Speaker 2:You're so bad for me.
