It's time to rise and shine and get your morning started with Alabama's award-winning morning show Good morning, good morning. It's a tradition.

Please welcome your hosts. Barry, he's a crazy man. I can't eat, I can't sleep. All I can see is that giant red sun in the shape of a chicken and Holly.

Speaker 1:

It's not fair that people are seated first come, first served. It should be based on who's hungriest we could drop you like a bag of dirt. The fear that people are seated first come, first served should be based on who's hungriest we could drop you like a bag of dirt.

Speaker 2:

Why are?

Speaker 3:

the pretty ones always insane.

Speaker 4:

I gotta tell you I have no idea where this is going Do you just get up in the morning and figure out ways to make me crazy.

Speaker 1:

WQS be good morning. It is 6.09. It is a cold morning. It's gonna be a nice day, though A little better than yesterday. Yesterday was kind of cold, but then tomorrow the wind comes in. How about tomorrow's wind? You're looking at 30 to 40 to 50 miles an hour, whoa, and that's just the wind. Oh, you sound weird. Oh, my gosh. Oh good, what have you done?

Speaker 2:

Oh, wait, there it goes, there you go. You just have to talk through it. It's like clearing your throat in the morning, I think you've got a loose wire.

Speaker 1:

Probably I don't care, like Darth Vader, for a second, are you okay?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like I said, it's just like you need to clear your throat. No need asking how your weekend was. It's pretty rough. Sounds like, yeah, it was pretty rough.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but the wind tomorrow is going to be crazy and there is a chance of strong storms tomorrow night. They're showing at the moment looks like mostly a wind event, but there is that slight chance of a spin-up tornado, but still, you look at 40 50 mile an hour wind gust and that's the gust outside of this storm and that's going to be during the daytime.

Speaker 1:

That is crazy that is crazy yeah, so just keep that in mind tomorrow's when that comes in. But today not a bad day, so a cool day yesterday. So did you get outside do much yesterday or did you just hang around the house?

Speaker 2:

we hung around the house. Yeah, we didn't wake up until like 12 almost.

Speaker 1:

Oh, okay, all of us, all three of us. You must have partied the night before.

Speaker 2:

No, I don't know. I guess we needed the sleep. I woke up at 4 and 6. Then, you know, I woke up in increments, but then we didn't get up until they got up at 12. But we had a fun weekend. It we didn't get up until they got up at 12. But we had a fun weekend. It was our first weekend with the hedgehog. Well, yeah, I didn't know how that would go.

Speaker 1:

So Juneau, juneau, so Mayer finally got to see it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, she did what she thinks and she is in love with this animal. Yeah, in love. And it is so cute. It's nocturnal, so it wakes up at night time and I was wondering if that was going to be a problem, if it would keep them awake or if it would drive the dog crazy. No, it's been fine. She gets angry real easy. She doesn't like us.

Speaker 1:

Oh, doesn't like people.

Speaker 2:

No, she doesn't like anything.

Speaker 1:

Anything or anybody. Doesn't she realize that if it weren't for you she would starve?

Speaker 2:

No.

Speaker 1:

She doesn't understand that.

Speaker 2:

No, I tried to explain it to her. She didn't listen.

Speaker 1:

You explained it that when she gets on her little hamster type wheel, she poops on it.

Speaker 2:

She does. She poops and then runs on it. I don't know she is the poopiness thing. She loves the bath. I Googled things to do with a hedgehog on Friday, yeah, Because I was like what are we going to do with this thing? Because she just stays balled up and mad. We started calling Mayor a hedgehog because she's spicy too she gets prickly, and then Harlow's like. Mama, she's just like the hedgehog.

Speaker 1:

How did Mayor look like that? She didn't like it.

Speaker 2:

She was like uh, she didn't like it, she was like uh-uh, yeah, but um, what's cute was that she was angry, eating like she was hungry, yeah, but she was mad, oh, so she was going when she would crunch. It's like a revving up a chevy.

Speaker 1:

Well, there are some here that do this exact same thing.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they do yeah, and there's some here that do the exact same thing. Yeah, they do.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and there's some here that when they get on the treadmill they poop too. Not calling out names, dale, but some of them do.

Speaker 2:

Yeah and run in it, Just don't even clean it up. She does, she poops on the treadmill and then, runs in it. That is weird, I know, I know, I know I know I know. All right, we had a good time though.

Speaker 1:

Well, good, so Doug the dog likes it? No, he hates it no.

Speaker 2:

Doug hates it. Doug doesn't understand why he can't smell her and play with it. And play with her, yeah, oh. So she'll be balled up and he'll go, you know, on her, but she'll prickle his nose. Oh yeah, she'll prick his nose.

Speaker 1:

We'll stop that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he stops that. And then when she unravels, he gets excited and then goes towards her and she balls back up. So, I don't know if they'll ever get used to each other for real no probably not Well big thing today.

Speaker 1:

It's time for the pot of gold.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it is.

Speaker 1:

A lot of talk on the street about the toilet with the pickles in it, I know. Have you seen the billboard Carson put up?

Speaker 2:

The billboard is cute. Yeah, he did a good job, it's pretty funny.

Speaker 1:

Going down the road 431 has got a giant picture of our gold toilet with pickles in it. People ask why pickles?

Speaker 2:

Because they're green.

Speaker 1:

And we run out of green items. Basically, as is that broccoli I'm not touching- broccoli I love broccoli. Yeah, so, starting today, we'll tell you when to call. You can't just go online and make a guess. You're going to have to wait until we tell you to call. Then you can officially make your guess of how many pickles are in the pot of gold. It's for St Patrick's Day, in case you haven't figured that out yet, because we're two weeks from today.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, from today. Yeah, two weeks from today, yeah.

Speaker 1:

And two weeks from tomorrow is our St Jude radio time.

Speaker 2:

I'm so excited for that.

Speaker 1:

So March is going to be busy.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it is a busy month.

Speaker 1:

Hey, we'll play a song in a few minutes. I was working yesterday and Russ had to be off and I was going through some of the new St Jude songs and I was telling Stone that we have six new ones and they're all happy ending songs.

Speaker 4:

Oh good.

Speaker 1:

Now in the past, you're going to hear some that unfortunately, no matter how hard they've tried, they couldn't save the child, and some of those songs are really heartbreaking.

Speaker 4:

Those are tough.

Speaker 1:

That's why some people say I just can't listen. But these trust me, there's a post-Malong. I had some help. Whoever put this one together, it sounds so good. I can't wait to hear that one, so we'll play it in a few minutes to show you these are the kind of songs you're going to hear. They're called story songs during the radio. Thought it is so good. Whoever put this one together did an excellent job.

Speaker 1:

I can't wait to hear that, but anyway, going back to the pot of gold, be listening. Later this morning we'll tell you when to call and if you're the right caller, you get to guess how many pickles. And you're saying, well, I have no clue. Well, you need to go to. Yeah, there was over three pictures. It's hard to work with a pot of gold full of pickles because you took the pictures and it just has a mind of its own. You would say work with me.

Speaker 2:

It's a beautiful photo, it is. I thought it was good.

Speaker 1:

Considering what you had to work with I thought.

Speaker 3:

I did a good job.

Speaker 1:

The one where Seth was sitting on it. That was a little weird.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I had to get him off of there, yeah twice, yeah, but anyway go find the picture.

Speaker 1:

That way you may have a little better guess of how many's in there. Then we'll be taking qualifiers. We'll do it, mike will do it, rod and Trey. For the next two weeks. Then, coming up on two weeks from this morning, whoever's closest you win $275 worth of cool prizes. Basically it's $25 gift cards from all of our sponsors.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and thanks to Braden, our intern, for counting all the pickles. That's tough, that's a tough job.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, Now the sponsors include Foodland and Guntersville, who, by the way, Foodland did provide us with the pickles Again. The prizes are from Foodland and Guntersville, Albert's, Lumbolask, Cothran's Bakery, Blake Clark Painting, Twin City Used Cars, J Leonard Henry Company Jewelry, Weddings, Pageants and Proms, One Team Heating and Cooling and SoCo Roofing. So look at it, Get ready to make your guess. Coming up sometime before 9, you'll have a chance to call. How do you know? Other things going on. Monday, March 3rd I doubt we have any Oscar hangovers from last night. I don't, I forgot it was on.

Speaker 2:

I didn't forget it was on, because I heard Stone saying hey, we got the Oscars coming up and he was working his shift. Last night and I was driving, I was listening to QSV and I was like if Stone hadn't told me, I wouldn't have even remembered that the Oscars were on Exactly, and whenever you mention the winners, in a few haven't seen the movie that won.

Speaker 1:

haven't seen anything. And Demi Moore didn't win. That makes me mad. She should have won.

Speaker 2:

I know for the Substance. That was such a good movie. If you're looking for a weird one, that's the one to watch. It's called the Substance. I think you get it through Is it Hulu? And then it takes you to another app. I think so, and you get a seven, it's very scary too yeah it's just weird man. I love it. Well, today is National Canadian Bacon Day.

Speaker 1:

Are we going to change the name of that too? I don't know.

Speaker 2:

American Bacon Day. I'm not being confused with it.

Speaker 1:

I love Canadian bacon, but especially on a pizza.

Speaker 2:

Okay, I only like pineapples on a pizza if there's Canadian bacon with the pineapples. Mama and Daddy that's what they always ordered was Canadian bacon and pineapples.

Speaker 1:

I always wonder the difference between Canadian and American bacon. And it says you're about to tell them.

Speaker 2:

Well, let me tell you.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

Canadian bacon is sold in round cuts and it's thicker than American bacon.

Speaker 1:

True.

Speaker 2:

It's taken from the lean. This is gross From the loin. Yeah, is that closer to the groin? Where is that?

Speaker 1:

I think it's like on the back, I believe. I don't know.

Speaker 2:

It's the spot on the pig where you won't find much fat in it. Most Canadian bacon is sold pre-cooked. It means that you can eat it straight out of the pack, and the most popular use of Canadian bacon is on a pizza.

Speaker 1:

I agree, yeah, and a lot of sliders. You can put them on sliders too. Those are really good.

Speaker 2:

What else do you? I mean, I've never seen it offered.

Speaker 1:

That's sandwiches. That's about it Sandwiches and.

Speaker 2:

Like a charcuterie board maybe.

Speaker 1:

True, yeah, I think you could.

Speaker 2:

Here's a little, something extra. Madam Web dominated the Razzies.

Speaker 1:

Okay, those are the worst movies.

Speaker 2:

Explain what the Razzies are.

Speaker 1:

They have the worst movie, the Golden Raspberry. As in, it's the worst movies and it's kind of an honor for some to say they get a nomination for this because they think it's funny.

Speaker 2:

They think it's funny. Yeah, madam Web won the most, it was.

Speaker 1:

Spider-Man like the Spider-Woman type movie which did horrible at the box office With Dakota Johnson. Yes, it did horrible.

Speaker 2:

And they had three wins for worst movie, worst actress and then Unfrosted. I've never heard of that one. It's with Jerry Seinfeld and Amy Schumer.

Speaker 1:

I've seen it on streaming, just clipped it and saw a few pieces and it wasn't very good yeah.

Speaker 2:

You haven't missed anything. Well, it also got worst actor and worst supporting actress.

Speaker 1:

Amy Schumer.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

It's hard to believe that didn't do well, because they're both funny.

Speaker 2:

I've never even heard of Unfrosted it deals with something with cereal, I believe.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah seriously, oh my gosh Not good.

Speaker 2:

And here's something else. This is cool. So my bank has this new service and it sends you your balance through a text message. That's handy.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's really cool yeah.

Speaker 2:

The only thing is I wish they wouldn't write LOL at the end.

Speaker 1:

In a crying emoji, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's so sad, mind your business, I know 619.

Speaker 4:

Mornings with Barry and Hall here on Alabama's country, giant WQSB, and home here on Alabama's country, giant WQSB, Since you've been gone.

Speaker 1:

Since you've been gone. Since you've been gone, well, this stinks. Skype has been around. I guess it was at one of the first services, kind of like Zoom, that offered you a chance to look at the person you were talking to.

Speaker 2:

Skype shot to popularity during COVID and the pandemic. That's what everybody used to do meetings, or to check in or to work from home. They used Skype. I cannot believe it, but in May 5th, on May 5th, they're going to officially retire Skype. You will no longer be able to use it.

Speaker 1:

But that affects us, because when we do live remotes, we use our cell phones and we log into Skype. Yeah, not the video portion, of course, but the audio.

Speaker 2:

Audio.

Speaker 1:

And when we do sporting events when we do football or basketball we use Skype.

Speaker 2:

Yep, now we're going to have to learn how to use the Microsoft Teams app, which I have no idea how to use it.

Speaker 1:

So they say it's basically better than Skype. It's what Microsoft has given you to take place of Skype. They're saying it's what Microsoft has taken given you to take place of Skype.

Speaker 2:

They're saying it's better. It's going to also allow for audio and video calls and then you can have meetings and file sharing. I guess it's about the same, but I'm upset because we have reached a milestone in our lives. Yeah, you know what it is.

Speaker 1:

What's that?

Speaker 2:

We'll say well in my day, we had to use Skype in 2020 to do our meetings.

Speaker 1:

So it's been 22 years ago when it first came out. Yes, wow.

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

That is weird, I know.

Speaker 2:

So when Harlow and Mary grow up, I'm going to be like when I was your age.

Speaker 1:

We had to use Skype. We had to use Skype. We had to walk uphill.

Speaker 2:

And they're going to say what's Skype Mama?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, well, we had to walk uphill to log in both ways and it was yeah, so Skype is going to be going. It was snowing, so there's others, of course, like Zoom, and there's quite a few Clean Feed. There's a bunch of them.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I think Clean Feed probably would I recommend them, but are we going to try?

Speaker 1:

Well, I was going to say get our engineer on it, but it'll be after May before he gets on it. But we'll figure it out, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Well, moving on, citigroup accidentally credited $81 trillion to a customer's account instead of $280. Imagine that move.

Speaker 1:

Imagine that coming on your phone? Seriously.

Speaker 2:

You log into your bank and it says $81 trillion, I was expecting $81.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I've got $81 trillion with a T Trillion dollars. I'll take it the error was missed by not one, but two employees. Whoa, you think they still have a job with Citigroup?

Speaker 2:

I would not let them.

Speaker 1:

Probably not.

Speaker 2:

No, I'd cut them loose.

Speaker 1:

They're getting fired like Skype is.

Speaker 2:

Yup.

Speaker 1:

A third worker found the error an hour and a half after the transaction was processed there's a promotion yeah, I know, then the payment, sadly, was reversed you imagine that conversation with the three of them, the two that missed it, than one who didn't have been back in the snack room. Yeah, yeah, I don't know how I missed that. Well, I didn't, I called it right off the first thing I noticed was 81 trillion. How'd you miss that pete?

Speaker 2:

yeah, how'd you miss that, Pete yeah.

Speaker 1:

How'd you miss that, Bob?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean imagine being like well, chad double-checked me.

Speaker 1:

I could see missing $5 or $6. Yeah, but like $3 trillion. How do you miss $81 trillion?

Speaker 2:

I mean, are they drunk? Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, because the numbers aren't even the same. Are they drunk, zero, zero?

Speaker 1:

zero, zero, zero. I don't know, because the numbers aren't even the same. It was supposed to be on an account of $280. That's how much it was supposed to be in there.

Speaker 2:

But it ended up $81 trillion. $81 trillion.

Speaker 1:

I have no idea how they missed that.

Speaker 2:

I don't either. They missed the two, they missed the zero for a one.

Speaker 1:

Then they put a bunch of money.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, it's 629 barry and holly on alabama's country, giant wqsb on.

Speaker 1:

The uh used to be called always the academy awards. Now they switch it to oscars I don't know. It's the same thing they said it's uh, it's cooler oh yeah, younger people, a lot of people calling it the oscars oh, not the academy awards yeah, that's all that's for old people does it matter to you?

Speaker 2:

either way, I still didn't watch no, I've actually got a story, though. On it, anora dominated the Oscars and won five awards, including Best Picture, best Actress. Adrian Brody was named Best Actor for his role in the Brutalist.

Speaker 1:

I have not seen Anora and I've not seen the Brutalist.

Speaker 2:

I'm not either, but here's something that we are familiar with. So here's. I found this this morning on Celebrity News. Michelle Trachtenberg was left out of the memoriam section of the Academy Awards just days after her death, and you would think maybe it didn't make it in time. But no, gene Hackman made the memoriam too. It was a tribute kicked off by Morgan Freeman. They paid tribute to actors such as Maggie Smith, james Earl Jones, david Lynch, gene Hackman, and left Michelle Trachtenberg out.

Speaker 1:

They do this every year. They leave one or two out every year.

Speaker 2:

Why? Why are you leaving these people out?

Speaker 1:

I don't understand. I know, but we yeah, because I hated to hear the fact that she passed away. It was last week and, speaking of Gene Hackman you're going to mention in a second, they still don't know what happened.

Speaker 2:

No, let me go ahead. Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy both tested negative for carbon monoxide poisoning and everybody thought that that was going to be the cause.

Speaker 4:

That's not the case.

Speaker 2:

It's not. The sheriff stated that, while the autopsy results did not show external trauma either, so no blunt force trauma. Further investigations will be needed to determine the cause of death that is crazy, they still don't know, I know it's weird. And then, captain america, brave new world is staying at the top of the box office. It raked in another 15 million dollars. Number two was last breath of 7.8 million and number three was the monkey, versus six points that is weird, that is sound weird.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and the reviews are horrible on this, but it's still hanging in on the monkey.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, um so I never would have guessed. The creator of everybody loves ray, raymond, is considering a reunion episode similar to Friends. It's to celebrate the show's 30th anniversary.

Speaker 1:

I'd like to watch that yeah that'd be pretty good. That was a good show. Yeah, All right. 654 birthdays are next.

Speaker 4:

Mornings with Barry and Hall here on Alabama's country giant WQSB Eat it.

Speaker 1:

Eat it, just eat it. I would definitely try. These Reese's is now teaming up with peanut butter and jelly. Ooh yum. It doesn't say which, it doesn't really matter Peanut butter and jelly. So remember the lava ones around. You've got the Reese's cup and on the very bottom they put this little layer of chocolate. Now they're doing the same thing, except this time they're putting a layer of peanut butter and jelly on the bottom of the reese's cup. Now, if you're looking at the picture, that's deceiving.

Speaker 1:

It's not going to be on the top like that, oh my god, it's going to be on the bottom it's going to be so good yes, it says they're going to have a mixture of either a strawberry or grape, so you get either jelly, which I'm gonna go for the strawberry I'm gonna go for the strawberry.

Speaker 2:

Those are dangerous.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Because I love peanut butter and jelly.

Speaker 1:

Oh man, you've got to find one of those. You can see a picture by going to her Facebook page. Yeah, those will be good.

Speaker 2:

I wonder if Circle K hey Circle K.

Speaker 1:

I bet they do.

Speaker 2:

Y'all are getting these. Send us some Let us know. Yeah, let us know news. Yes, for good. Yeah, they're bringing them back for good. Guess they're healthy, right? Yep, they are. The chain promised 100 million dollars in food to be split among fans if they ever discontinue the site again whoa, yeah, that's unusual they said we're bringing it back and if we ever quit carrying them, we will give a million dollars out to be split among the fans.

Speaker 1:

So is that a pre-class action lawsuit?

Speaker 2:

yep, you can go to arby'sPotatoCakesLawsuitcom to take part in the pre class action lawsuit. It's not an active class action lawsuit, it's just a pre class.

Speaker 1:

That's a good idea.

Speaker 2:

Yep and you can grab two. A free two piece potato cake still when you order through DoorDash now through March 5th Good idea. Yeah, it's a good idea. We got people here at that DoorDash. Get you a little potato cake.

Speaker 2:

And then Taco Bell is launching a new steak and queso cruntrap sliders. So it's just like the cruntrap supreme, but it's a fun size version. It's small. You can get the queso and steak cruntrap slider. It has the steak, chipotle sauce, pico cheddar cheese and it's a mini tostada shell folded into a hexagon inside of a flour tortilla and grilled.

Speaker 1:

That's a perfect size. Yum, we'll try those soon too, all right, 727.

Speaker 4:

Wqsb Mornings with Barry and Holly Come on man Mornings.

Speaker 1:

Come on man, I like going to the park we have some nice parks in this area we now have the world's smallest park. It's in Japan. I'm looking at a picture here. Guinness went out and they measured and said yes, it's officially the smallest park Come on man.

Speaker 2:

Oh, it's cute.

Speaker 1:

It's two and a half square feet large, two and a half square feet.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, okay, so it even features a little bit of grass and a small little place to sit, which is literally a brick. You can sit on a brick.

Speaker 1:

Not for one person. Yeah, one person, unless you're too big, because it barely holds this one girl, the brick has got a place for you to put your feet up on the brick and that's all there is.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, what's it called, mean? I don't know if it has a name, I guess it does.

Speaker 1:

Probably it's somewhere, I don't know where. It says somewhere in japan.

Speaker 2:

I don't have a saying it says it was created in 1988 but has only recently been certified as the tiniest park I think they had to add the bench to make it official, because the park has to have a place to sit.

Speaker 1:

Ah, and they added that, and then now they have a park.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so this is literally a square of bricks, yeah, with grass in it. Like, just imagine bricks in a square Right and then a little bitty bit of grass in between the bricks and then a little bitty stone that you can sit on.

Speaker 1:

I would like that job.

Speaker 2:

My job is to cut the grass at the park. Yeah, what would you use?

Speaker 1:

yeah, yeah, or scissors clippers, scissors, even fingernail clippers would work. Yeah, that is the craziest thing I've ever seen. So you tell somebody hey, let's go to the park where you want to go. I've got this neat little park that opened up. Come on over, I'll show you. Okay, I'm going to sit here first for five minutes and you can sit here yeah you're still the frisbee. Yeah, still the frisbee in the park. Do you think you could play pickleball?

Speaker 2:

in this park by yourself. Yeah, yeah, just hit it up against the brick Up in the air Over and over.

Speaker 1:

You couldn't take your dog to throw the frisbee in the park, for sure.

Speaker 2:

But you could take your dog to pee in the park.

Speaker 1:

They would pee on the bench.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it would.

Speaker 1:

I've never seen anything like that. This is crazy, so they're in the Guinness Book of World Records now. So you now know we have officially the smallest park in the world.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

If you want to see it, it's on our Facebook page. It's pretty cute. 741.

Speaker 4:

Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's country giant WQSB, you know knowledge nuggets, knowledge, nuggets.

Speaker 1:

What's going on today?

Speaker 2:

7% of people drink four or more sodas per day, even though they know it's not healthy for them.

Speaker 1:

The only time I ever do. It is like when I work a long day, like yesterday. I had two Two's about it, more than two. I think this is not good.

Speaker 2:

I don't think I drink more than four A day. A day yeah, Back in my prime, I would drink probably six to eight a day. My goodness Diet Cokes yeah, gotcha. That's all I drank. I wouldn't drink. I drank one coffee, no energy drinks, no water, absolutely no water. And then Mike Allen and Barry bullied me because I didn't drink water. So now I squeeze water in every now and then.

Speaker 3:

I hear you.

Speaker 2:

How many coats do you have today?

Speaker 3:

I'd probably say about two.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, one with lunch, one with dinner.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, probably.

Speaker 2:

See, I'd have one with breakfast, lunch and dinner and my snacks. So that's at least five.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's a lot of drinks.

Speaker 2:

That's a lot of Diet Coke and I love it. I love it. Survey the biggest complaints about eating out at a restaurant. Number one dirty silverware. I never have to worry about that.

Speaker 1:

Occasionally I come across one, but I know usually it's probably the dishwasher's fault. Yeah. Not the human dishwasher. But why?

Speaker 2:

Because in most restaurants there are no dishwashers. You put them under this tank, you lower it, it hot, steams it with hot water and no soap.

Speaker 1:

I didn't know that. I've learned something.

Speaker 2:

I use plasticware at restaurants but it's because I don't like the metal. It's not because of the cleanliness, but they just blast it with super, super hot water and just hope for the best. So if you've got a food that cakes up, it may stay on there. Yeah, okay, like if it's sitting in scrambled eggs too long, oh, may have some scrambled egg residue on it. I don't know. I've seen that before.

Speaker 3:

yeah, I don't know. I would use some plastic from now on.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I would too, so that's the biggest complaint. That's the biggest complaint, that's number one. I rarely ever run into dirty silverware. Well, like we said, I use plastic because of the metal, but working in the restaurant there's quite a few times and you know what they do.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but off of the towel.

Speaker 2:

Well, okay, at least they're trying I wish you could go behind the scenes of a restaurant business. Yeah, yeah, I think we were the cleanest of all of them, gotcha. But anyway, number two a dirty restroom.

Speaker 1:

Oh, yeah, I've been in some. I don't know what happened in there. It's like NCIS has been in investigating a murder. I don't know what happened in there. They slaughtered a moose.

Speaker 2:

Oh my gosh, I'm not sure. Well, when I worked at Jefferson's, the men's restroom on weekends not turned into a WWE brawl. All out, no rules, warfare, the toilet what do you call that? The little one, the urinal?

Speaker 3:

Urinal.

Speaker 2:

Kicked off the wall. Whoa, holes punched, yeah, so we would just have to hang pictures over the holes in the walls where they'd punch the walls. I don't know what they're doing in there. It's like testosterone times 100.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I feel like sometimes they forget about the restroom. I agree In some places it seems like that that's been more common than not. Is that they forget about it? I tell you.

Speaker 1:

The weirdest thing was years ago we went to CRS and it wasn't the Omni Hotel, it was one of the nice hotels and in the bathroom they had an attendant in there.

Speaker 2:

Oh, and in the bathroom they had an attendant in there.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, that was new to me Are you supposed to tip them? I had never been in one, so I walked in and there was a guy sitting there with a towel over his arm. He said good afternoon sir. I said hey. He said I'm here if you need me.

Speaker 2:

I thought, okay, you've got the wrong guy here for that. What if he walked over to the urinal and said I need you.

Speaker 1:

I didn't know what he was doing. I thought he was just some weirdo hanging out.

Speaker 2:

What did they do? I know they give you a towel and a mitt. That's what he was there for.

Speaker 1:

So I come walk out, and he was still standing. He said everything. Good. I said I did okay, I performed well. I'm satisfied with it.

Speaker 3:

This is weird. Yeah, they'll give you a towel. They'll get any lint off of your shirt. Sometimes they have cologne that they'll spray on you.

Speaker 2:

Have y'all ever been in a public restroom where they have cologne available?

Speaker 1:

No, I have, he had some.

Speaker 3:

I use it, I'm not I'd have to ask him. You've been standing in this corner the entire time. Oh man, you get a tough job.

Speaker 2:

Imagine applying for that job Restroom attendant.

Speaker 1:

Imagine the guy that goes there and blows it up and he's got to sit over there and listen to it, experience it and then smell it. Was it sorry, sorry?

Speaker 3:

wasn't this bigelow's dad?

Speaker 2:

I think so, yeah imagine them making the same rate per hour. That way you've made it's pretty much the same, isn't?

Speaker 1:

it. We thought we got it tough and walk out in the lobby and somebody's yeah, sprayed for mosquitoes.

Speaker 2:

Excuse me, sir, may I help you? You'd have to be a male to be in the males.

Speaker 1:

I didn't know what he was doing until I left. I told the other guy. I said he's that guy, he works there. I said really yeah.

Speaker 2:

That's an odd job. Did he have a suit on?

Speaker 1:

He did.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 3:

You don't have to. That's weird.

Speaker 2:

But what would you do? What if we okay, hear me out what if we hooked up an undercover video and we dressed you up in a suit and we took you to Taco Bell and you just stand at the Taco Bell sink with a little towel over your arm saying welcome in, sir. Let me know if you need me.

Speaker 1:

That'd be fun. I could say anything I want to anything. Okay, that'd be fun.

Speaker 2:

What would you say?

Speaker 1:

well, it depends on the person and the job they perform how did it come out, sir? Yeah, everything good yeah it's been a crap day it has for you sir taking you at the burrito Chalupa wasn't kind to you was it, sir?

Speaker 2:

I smell the number one, sir. That's all I got.

Speaker 1:
