Speaker 1:Would at least pretend to be doing some work, good jobs are hard to find.
Speaker 3:I know that's why I took this one. It's time to rise and shine and get your morning started with Alabama's award-winning morning show. When I wake up in the morning, love Broadcasting live from high atop Alabama's beautiful sand mountain, and I know it's gone.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry, I'm expecting a call.
Speaker 3:Please welcome your hosts, Barry. I've never stood so close to pure evil. Before we say we go out to the parking lot, run a few pass plays to burn off the calories.
Speaker 5:And hop, my leg is cramping up. God, rub it, rub it, rub it it's cramping. My milkshake brings all the boys to life.
Speaker 1:WQSBO, I guess we should have chosen another intro. Would you call this a lovely day? I would Well you enjoy this kind of weather.
Speaker 5:I love this this is when I thrive.
Speaker 1:You're just mad because you can't get out and make a snowball and bring it in here and throw it at me. I would I know you would I'd pelt you with snowballs out and make a snowball and bring it in here and throw it at me. I would, I know you would, I'd pelt you with snowballs. Yeah.
Speaker 2:If I could but, I, can't.
Speaker 1:I just noticed something on the news. We were talking about nitrous oxide yesterday and I'd be doggone if they're now talking about this in Alabama.
Speaker 2:They better not take it away.
Speaker 1:They're saying there's. Well seriously, we'll get into it. There's abuse going on with nitrous oxide.
Speaker 2:Okay, but I still need to be pumped up. My brother Dennis.
Speaker 1:Because you still had to have so much teeth work when I was little. I love the gas.
Speaker 5:I do too.
Speaker 1:But anyway, let's go back to the snow, Okay, Okay, a lot of stuff around the area. Now here it didn't start doing anything until about 90 minutes, two hours ago, Doing your thing until about 90 minutes two hours ago, and there's no travel problems at the moment unless you travel into, say, Madison County, Limestone, Lawrence, and go towards Florence Northwest Corner. There are some slick spots there. They already have dropped down to 29. So that's the problem. There's a lot of stuff that fell this morning and they're having some travel issues there.
Speaker 1:Huntsville reporting a few slick spots on some bridges and some overpasses, because it's dropped to 29 in Huntsville. Now here we're still at 34. It's 33 in Fort Payne borderline and 37 against, and so it's not cold enough to cause an issue yet, and the hope is that when the sun comes up in the next 30 minutes or so, then the wind picks up, Whatever's on the ground is going to dry off and we should be okay. But in the meantime, if we drop a few degrees this morning, you may have some black ice or a slick spot on a bridge or maybe an overpass or your driveway or your sidewalk.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Could my steps to that. They hadn't frozen yet or had gotten too slick, but my steps are always the first thing to freeze at my house.
Speaker 1:Well, the good thing is it was warm enough yesterday. It warmed the ground up enough, so it's going to have to be really cold for this stuff to freeze, and that's what's going to happen tonight. We're dropping to 15 tonight, with a windchill in the single-digit windchill from zero to about five. So whatever's on the ground tonight when the sun goes down and we go below freezing will be there tomorrow morning. It will be there until Friday morning, because tomorrow we're going to warm up to 30 degrees.
Speaker 5:Okay.
Speaker 1:So tomorrow stay below freezing all day. But here's the good news According to the National Weather Service, from the long-range forecast, this should be the last blast of this stuff. We see until next winter, the winter.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this is it the last hurrah, this is it.
Speaker 1:By next tuesday we're looking at highs in the mid 60s. Wow, yeah, by next week. This time next week, much better weather. So the deal is again just be careful. This morning there are no traffic issues at the moment at the moment. But looking at outside, I'll walk outside just like a cold rain a few minutes ago and there's an ending to this. The ending of it is now moving into Morgan County, so just give it another two to three hours and all this should be out of here.
Speaker 2:Awesome.
Speaker 1:Just be careful driving. There's going to be a lot of water on the roads. Hopefully it's going to stay water only Now. That's why we do have a lot of schools, which I think it's a great call. Most of them are under a two-hour delay. Now you can find the list on our website and our Facebook, and we have nothing new to update since last night. But if you've missed this, if you would let's go ahead and give you the update, and these are in alphabetical order. You can find these on our Facebook or website.
Speaker 2:Yeah, most of these are on a two-hour delay Albertville City Schools. Arab City Schools. Atala City Schools. Blount County is having a remote learning day. Bois City Schools two hours. Cherokee County. Cusa Christian is on a three-hour delay. Cornerstone Christian back on two. Coleman County Schools two hours. Coleman City Schools two hours. Dekalb County Schools. Etowah County Schools. Fort Payne City Schools. Gadsden City Schools. Gadsden State is delayed until 10 am. Guntersville City Schools on a two-hour delay. Jackson County. Madison County. Marshall Christian is closed. Madison County is closed. Marshall County is on a two-hour delay. Morgan is closed. Madison County is closed. Marshall County is on a two-hour delay. Morgan County closed. Northeast Alabama Community College delayed until 10. Oneonta City Schools is having a remote learning day and Scottsboro City Schools two hours. Wallace State delayed until 10. And Westbrook-Christian is delayed until two hours.
Speaker 1:And there's a few went ahead and made an announcement tomorrow. One of these it's kind of a combination of, I guess, weather, but mainly like Albertville City Schools it's going to be a remote learning day tomorrow so students can go support the Albertville Lady Aggies basketball team who play at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning at Jacksonville State in the Elite Eight. So that way you can go watch the game, if you'd like to, and support the Aggies. Who do they play Hoover?
Speaker 5:It's going to be a tough one.
Speaker 2:It's going to be a good one this is a weird one.
Speaker 1:Hoover's football coach is a former Albertville football coach, Chip English. Nothing to do with basketball, but he's a football coach. I did not know that and his daughter will be playing Tatum Against Albertville tomorrow.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and she's good. She's very good.
Speaker 1:We saw them play a couple of days ago when we were there.
Speaker 2:That girl can sing too.
Speaker 1:That's going to be a good game.
Speaker 2:She did the national anthem one time when they were at Albertville. Yeah, she did really good.
Speaker 1:But anyway, that game is. Listen to it on Power 1075. So because of that I'll be leaving you high and dry in the morning. No, actually Tyler May is coming.
Speaker 2:It'll be me and Tyler, we'll be fine.
Speaker 1:You'll do fantastic. So anyway, that's Albertville City Schools tomorrow. Blount County Schools have already announced a two-hour delay tomorrow, as well as Oneonta City Schools two-hour tomorrow, and Oneonta City has even announced a two-hour delay on Friday.
Speaker 2:Yeah, people are asking about road conditions.
Speaker 1:They can go to our website. It's owlgocom At the moment in this listing area for DeKalb, cherokee, etowah, blount. Not a problem because it's way too warm. Marshall County really no problems because it's 34 degrees.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're good.
Speaker 1:DeKalb County. You're still fine. It's 33 degrees, but if it drops another degree or two you might have some black eyes. So until the sun comes up, just be careful. This morning everything is good at the moment. As far as we know, there's been no reports of any problems around the listing area. If you go further towards uh, the shoals, uh that area yeah, there's some travel travel problems there and some places in huntsville already a lot of icy roads. If you have to work in Huntsville, be careful. I would go ahead and call and check in because there's some slippery spots in Huntsville.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it looks like until 9 am that Blount County and Etowah area is also, and Cherokee is also under weather advisory on the roads, so just be careful if you're in the Blount County area.
Speaker 1:We have the two advisories a winter weather advisory until 11 o'clock this morning, but it's not going to last that long. This should be out of here in the next two hours. But then you've got cold weather advisory for everybody from midnight tonight till noon tomorrow, because we're going down, like we said, to 15. Tonight. Some areas will be colder than that, with a single digit wind chill, and then tomorrow we'll stay below freezing all day. That's why there's a cold weather advisory. And yes, there are warming shelters open around the listing area.
Speaker 1:I know Carson was putting these up yesterday so you can find these, because it's going to be brutally cold tonight and all day tomorrow. Then gets better Friday. So if you need a warming shelter, you can check out our website and check out our Facebook. So that's all we know on the weather at the moment. Everything is good. Just be careful. There's either rain or sleet or some snow showers falling at the moment and I put a little video up this morning when it was coming down here to QSB. It's nice and peaceful when you walk outside.
Speaker 2:That's a big one. Yeah, it's cute.
Speaker 1:I love it Somebody goes by on 431 and blows a horn and shoots me a bird and says get back in there.
Speaker 2:Throw eggs at you. Get back in the radio station Well, not eggs anymore. No, no.
Speaker 1:What would they throw now? I would catch that. I know I would be very careful. I don't know of anything cheaper. Be on a sausage. Maybe they're on sale I'm going to get upset.
Speaker 2:Please don't Don't do that. Barry gets very upset when you toss your sausage, that is ugly. How'd you know?
Speaker 5:How'd you know I don't know.
Speaker 1:I just read it this morning Things you need to know this morning. What's going on today? Today is National Chocolate Mint Day, yum I love those and we had a discussion about this a few months ago. We visited Olive Garden Uh-huh and used to.
Speaker 2:They always at the end of the meal, I didn't go.
Speaker 1:We did months ago.
Speaker 2:No, I did not.
Speaker 1:Yes, we did. What'd I eat? I don't remember, but you, because I had lasagna and we mentioned, as we were leaving, that they didn't bring us the mint.
Speaker 2:I think you went with Reagan.
Speaker 1:It was you. Are you sure, I Dory, you win, I promise you.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:I promise you you win. Yeah, because we talked about, when we left, the fact that they didn't bring us the mint.
Speaker 2:They didn't give us the mint, but they still do that. They do yeah.
Speaker 1:I think maybe the waitress forgot or maybe they're out.
Speaker 2:I don't know, they shorted us.
Speaker 1:I don't know they it's in Gadsden.
Speaker 2:What else did we do?
Speaker 1:That was it. We went to eat.
Speaker 2:We just went to Olive Garden.
Speaker 1:It might have been like for Mother's Day or something, because you said you were not going to be doing it.
Speaker 2:That's a year ago.
Speaker 1:I said we went recently, that's within a year, is recent for me no. You said we've never went.
Speaker 2:I don't remember ever going.
Speaker 1:I'm glad it was so meaningful to you. We bonded that day and now you just crushed me Sorry, Bestie.
Speaker 2:The York Peppermint Patty is invented and the classic combo starts. So that's how it all began, with the mint chocolate. Yum. Mint chocolate chip, by the way, is my favorite ice cream ever in the whole world. Thin mints account for more than 25% of Girl Scout cookie sales.
Speaker 1:I believe that which I believe is Russell still coming in soon.
Speaker 2:He is. So, yeah, it's a good time.
Speaker 1:He turns off that other radio station in his dining room.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Russell, we hear you listening to a different radio station.
Speaker 1:You're cheating on us.
Speaker 2:You better put it back on QSV, wait till you come in here, you're going to get spanked. Russell John.
Speaker 1:Son Son.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're going to oh yeah, that is his last name, russell Allen Johnson.
Speaker 1:We're going to embarrass you on the air more than usual, we are yes.
Speaker 2:Olive Garden began giving gifts complimentary mints at the end of their meals more than 35 years ago, and the end of meal mint is a way for Olive Garden to share its hospitality and Italian generosity with guests, to share his hospitality and Italian generosity with guests.
Speaker 1:Oh, I wonder why they did that. I loved it Just to be sweet, Because you got a little bad breath. You got garlic breath and that helps a little bit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're just giving you a little bop-bop, that's nice. And here's you a little something extra. Mexico is threatening to sue Google over changing the name of Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America.
Speaker 1:What does it matter?
Speaker 2:On American maps. I wish we would change it. Are we battling back and forth or is it officially Gulf of America?
Speaker 1:Well, like Google, some of the maps have changed and some haven't.
Speaker 2:What are we doing? I know what Trump says. You can call it whatever.
Speaker 1:Officially, I don't know. It's just a body of water. We can call it whatever we want. We could call it Gulf of Holly if we want to.
Speaker 2:That'd be cool yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, maybe we could.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know if I'd want it named after me.
Speaker 1:I mean it's a body of water. It connects both of us. Yes, it makes it go.
Speaker 2:But I mean, like, what are we doing?
Speaker 1:Why are we arguing? We're going to and this half is yours, it's like a divorce.
Speaker 5:This land is your land. Yeah, it's like a breakup.
Speaker 2:Okay, you get this half of the Gulf and you get this half and you get the sharks, and you get the jellyfish, and now you're divorced, yeah and you get the seashells. And your sharks can visit my sharks on weekends every other weekend once through the week.
Speaker 1:Once a week and you get the seaweed, it's the alimony. Oh, I don't know, I don't know yeah.
Speaker 2:And here's something to think about. Look, I don't mind telling you I'm a little frustrated. After yesterday, what happened? I hired a handyman Okay, I gave him a list of things to do around the house. Okay, you know, there's some things I need help with.
Speaker 1:Sure.
Speaker 2:I labeled them. Yeah, Number one bolts gotcha. Number two please help me pressure wash the driveway, that's. That's reasonable when he got done he handed me the list back. He crossed them out. He had only done items one, three and five that's weird turns out he only does odd jobs. I can change those.
Speaker 1:That's funny. It's 6 22 mornings.
Speaker 3:Mornings with Barry and Hall here on Alabama's country giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:One quick thing be sure to play our what the Blame game Say, in case you're around the house. Kids don't have to go to school for a couple of hours.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Go on to our Facebook Live. Guess their puzzle. It's an event, it's five words and you can qualify to win some cool stuff. So what's going on today?
Speaker 2:all right. 43 percent of americans do not want ai to interview them for a job. This is a poll of a thousand adults. 32 percent were comfortable with ai and 26 were unsure of what it would look like. I I would not want to be interviewed by an AI.
Speaker 1:Would it be like you sit down and a computer will talk to you and ask you questions and you answer them?
Speaker 2:I mean, I would think so. I think it would be conductive. I mean, I don't see a robot coming in and being like Hello, my name is Steve.
Speaker 1:It brings you chips and salsa.
Speaker 2:That's only at Julia's.
Speaker 1:Oh sorry.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's not for me. Okay, imagine going to a business. No, I want to talk to a human. I want to relate to somebody on a human basis.
Speaker 1:Okay, I want to talk to somebody that can respond to me emotionally You're right and mentally, and not just through what is pre-programmed through their sensors, because it's going to be given a list of questions to ask you and you could answer them and it's not going to be able to pick on up on.
Speaker 1:I wouldn't think certain things you say if they ask you like, tell us why you want to work here yeah you're probably going to give them a good reason and the computer some cases a human could tell that you're really passionate and we think you really want this job the way you just talked to me. Yeah, the computer won't have a clue. No, no, they're just going to listen to your answer, write it down and, you know, store it and then give it to the boss.
Speaker 2:See, I don't think I would ever have gotten this job because what I did is so hard to explain. Like you should have seen me explaining this to Ted. Okay, I'd be like I had to be a YouTube channel. So I'm used to being in front of the camera and on the mic. Yeah, I'm used to talking for hours at a time. Okay, I go and teach conferences in different states. Do you think that a AI computer would comprehend all of that?
Speaker 1:No, it would write these out in a list and then give it to store it and give it to the boss, the main man who's making the decision.
Speaker 2:But that doesn't tell you that. Hey, when I went to these conferences, I was in front of anywhere from two to five hundred people. It was speaking up on a stage, was demonstrating everything. Like you can't tell all that to a computer. The computer's going to say public speaking, exactly, you know. I don't think, because I didn't have radio experience before I came here.
Speaker 1:I'll be honest with you. When I found out you were interviewing for the job, I saw you out in the lobby.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And I think I asked Valerie later who was that.
Speaker 2:And you were like wow, that looks like a really cool girl.
Speaker 1:Well, she told me Valerie said that she knows you and you've got a lot of experience in the digital. That's what we're looking for somebody to handle our social media and digital and you have a lot of experience. And I said, oh okay. So then she said, look up her YouTube channel. She has a lot of yeah.
Speaker 1:And I looked at it and I was impressed. So had you talked to if I'd been a computer, I wouldn't have seen you and said, okay, who is she? Let me find out more about her. She's applying for this job. I wouldn't have looked up your information and I wouldn't have known all the stuff you'd have done.
Speaker 2:Have you ever Googled me?
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:That's fine, we'll Google me on the break, yeah. There's some stuff.
Speaker 1:Like arrest records and stuff.
Speaker 2:Like a couple mug shots. Would you just skip over those?
Speaker 1:No, I'm kidding, but I've looked up your YouTube and I was impressed by how many things you've done, yeah, and I thought she is perfect for this job.
Speaker 2:No, I've worked with Cricut it's a vinyl cutting machine company and craft supplies and I did a uh, I did a. What is it kind of like a interview about mental health and how crafting helped it help with my mental health postpartum. And then it was right. I think it was during the pandemic when everybody was had mental health issues. We were all struggling and I was showing people how to craft and do things from home, that you didn't have to go out and purchase things, that you could kind of do things from home. Sure, I loved what I did, but I love this the most and I agree with you.
Speaker 1:I think a human could pick up on that. But if you're talking to a computer like they're doing now, it wouldn't have picked up on any of this. It would just made a list bullet to give to the human who's going to look at this.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I bet that's what a boss wants. They just want to sit down. Look at the bullet points go over it. Are they qualified or not? I think sometimes you have exceptional new talents that you've got to give a chance. I'm not saying I'm exceptional, but I'm gonna say I was a new talent that needed a chance. Somebody just to roll the dice on me, which I will say it took me about five years to work up here well, it took you from that to then.
Speaker 1:You came to the morning show yeah, some, yeah, somehow we saw the talent there no thanks, I loved it.
Speaker 2:I loved it. I don't know what you saw, because I would read and mess it up and be so nervous.
Speaker 1:Well, I remember that Linda was sitting there and you were in the. I could see you. We were getting ready for the Chris Jansen show, Yep, and we were going to have a promotion where we bought this like six foot tall margarita glass.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I put, and I put WQSB on it in vinyl letters, yeah all letters.
Speaker 1:You told valerie that you you could put print out wqsp and put it on there so say I wanted to see you do this. So you did it. You walked in, you put it on there and you showed it to us. I said that's impressive yeah you told me about your history and I said why don't you come in here and talk to us about what you've done before? Yeah since you're the new employee, I loved it and after that break I told linda and she agreed.
Speaker 2:She said I think she's uh very smart, I think she could do this really if she'd like to do radio if you were to write me one to ten as a learning dj, where would you write me?
Speaker 1:at the very beginning, probably a five because you have never done it before. Okay, okay, but as of now, after what you've done, I'd say a 10 now, because you did the saturday morning three hours a few weeks ago. Yeah, you ran the board last week when I was going to jacksonville for like a an hour and you've picked up on things quickly. And that goes back from the interview of you telling us on all the things you've done.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I love it. There's a lot of adrenaline rush in this job and I know that people that come in and talk on the radio get it. I don't get it anymore when we start out the morning show. I'm ready to talk to my people.
Speaker 1:But when I first started, I would have panic attacks every single morning because you would come in here and say I don't know if I could do this. Yeah, because I'm having trouble breathing. Yeah, and I would see you and you had, honestly, sweat and you were pale. You were white as a shirt. Today so I said why don't you because it was cool that morning said why don't you walk outside and get some fresh air? You began doing that and you calmed down and then you were fine.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I just had to get used to it, just like doing the weather. I was scared to death to do the weather, but, like we've talked about, it's more than just oh, I'm going to sit down and read this weather to people. It is. I'm doing something that females don't normally do up here. And how long has it been? I know that women have ran the board, but how long has it been since they have?
Speaker 1:It's been a while.
Speaker 2:At least five years. Yeah, at least yeah.
Speaker 1:At least On the morning show. Usually when we've had Linda, jenna, mary, somebody on the other side, they did the co-host part, but not the weather. For whatever reason, I've just always done the weather, but not the weather. Yeah, for whatever reason, I've just always done the weather. It's just wild, you said you wanted to try. I said okay sure, let's try it.
Speaker 2:And we're just checking things up a little bit we're just having a little fun on this morning show. We're having a good time, but bottom line is no, I don't want to be interviewed by an AI.
Speaker 1:No, too many companies are losing the. There are some stations down in California. They have computers running the board and talking and if you didn't know better you would not know that that's not a real human. Yeah, that's wild. We did a CRS last year. We found out about this and some stations have already replaced humans with their computer voices. I know, and you'd have no clue If you didn't know. It's so realistic that it will blow your mind what that these computer voices can do.
Speaker 2:It's scary because we're we. We are in a position where we could be replaced. Yeah, but at the end of the day, you cannot take the way my brain works, my personality, my voice. Well, I guess you could probably take my voice, but but my way of thinking, because it's all messed up. Same thing with you, not just me, anybody.
Speaker 1:Anybody.
Speaker 2:Mike Allen Rod, sisko Trey.
Speaker 1:You can copy their voice. So that's what computers are doing. You can copy the voice, but you can't copy what's inside that brain. As far as the personality, no, you can copy how they're going to say a word, but you can't say what word they might say.
Speaker 2:You cannot mimic when I get emotional? No, because the song means so much to me. You cannot mimic the passion that people have behind the voice yeah, it's true, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but this, this ai, thing, it really bothers me it does me too I mean, yes, it can help people who have a company that they don't have enough employees, but it also can replace people with their jobs probably a lot cheaper too it is. That's why some companies go into that. This is wrong we won't no, we won't know. We'll always have humans. You, you're a human, it's a voice, it's a human, but it's not a computer yeah, you're at 636 bearing and holly on alabama's country giant wqsb anyway.
Speaker 3:So that's going on. So if you need, all right, 636. Mary and Holly on Alabama's.
Speaker 1:Country Giant WQSB. Anyway, so that's going on. So, if you need, we'll have more on the weather forecast coming up in a second. What's going on? Holly's pile of stories. If you watch Saturday Night Live Now, I know you're a fan of Lady Gaga and I am too.
Speaker 2:I do I like her?
Speaker 1:Well, she's going to be on SNL coming up very soon.
Speaker 2:Ooh, Well she's going to be on SNL coming up very soon. Oh yeah, Hosting March 1st is going to be Shane Gillis.
Speaker 1:I like Shane. He's the Post Malone commercial with the drink. He's the other guy. Oh okay, you may know him as the comedian. I didn't know his name.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1:But, that's him, he's the other guy in the commercial with Post Malone.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and Lady Gaga is going to be pulling Double Duty as host and musical guest on March 8th. So March 1st is Shane Gillis, lady Gaga March 8th, and then Tate McRae will be the musical guest on March 1st.
Speaker 1:Lady Gaga is a good actress.
Speaker 2:She really is.
Speaker 1:If you just want to see the most depressing movie. But it's a good movie. A Star is Born.
Speaker 2:The most depressing movie ever made created.
Speaker 1:It's the new version with her and Bradley.
Speaker 2:Cooper.
Speaker 1:I'll be honest, it's one of the most Shocking. It'll tear you At the very end of it. It'll tear you apart. But the scene after something has happened and she's performing a song that may be one of the best performances I've seen because she, as an actress, nailed it. Yeah, she did it looks like she's completely destroyed, but she still goes on with the show and sings the song and it is so good, it's so good.
Speaker 2:Sources say that Apple TV is getting ready to make an announcement that Ted Lasso is returning for season four.
Speaker 1:Oh, hold on. How about this Whistle, whistle? Yeah, oh, I'm so excited. Yeah, I know you are. They were working out some details with Jason Sudeikis and a couple of the other actors, I think. Rebecca, they had to work out Hannah, she is back. She said she's doing it. Nate's doing it. Higgins yeah. He's doing it and the only one so far said they can't, and it's Jamie Tarn.
Speaker 2:Jamie, yeah.
Speaker 1:Because he's under contract with another TV show and can't get out of it.
Speaker 2:I wonder if they're going to kill him off or if he gets traded Possibly. Why are you?

Speaker 3:Mornings with Barry and Hall here on Alabama's country giant WQSB In the morning's animal story this morning.
Speaker 1:We put a picture up a few days ago and we didn't get around to mentioning this, but the picture is. It's in Wisconsin.

Speaker 2:I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:Well, that's what I was going to wonder. I wonder. You know, with it being Sturgeon being record-breaking, it did catch the attention of Madonna. Madonna heard about this and according to rumors, we have sources all over the world. Sources are telling us that in Madonna's camp that she heard about this and she, just to honor Haley, she's considering maybe re-recording one of her famous songs and tying in somehow with Sturgeon. Madonna Reference Madonna.
Speaker 5:Wow.
Speaker 1:And the song is like a virgin. Yeah, but she's going to change it, they say, to like a sturgeon. Ah, if she did, do you have any idea what it might sound like?

Speaker 5:She might be yeah.
Speaker 1:I can see her dancing with a giant fish. Could she dance with like a snake, or is that Britney?
Speaker 2:Spears, that's Britney Spe.
