Speaker 1:Good morning at 608. After we renamed that song, Mr Gray Sky. Kind of ugly this morning, isn't it?
Speaker 2:No, it's actually some blue.
Speaker 1:Not really.
Speaker 2:I'm a half-class, full kind of girl, yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't know what you're looking at.
Speaker 2:It's blue. Look at the top.
Speaker 1:No, but you realize, the next time we meet each other here in this room on Monday, it'll be 7.09.
Speaker 2:Well, no, we're going to spring forward an hour.
Speaker 1:We still have to be an hour later.
Speaker 2:So instead of waking up at 3.30, I'm going to wake up at 2.30.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2:Oh yay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I guess that means it stays dark earlier in the morning and then it stays daylight.
Speaker 1:And people were talking about this, discussing it, because back during the election President Trump was talking about when he gets elected. He would like to try to change it and make it one way year-round, either like the time we have now or when we spring for either daylight savings time One of the two. I saw an interview yesterday. They were asking him in the Oval Office his thoughts on this and he said here's the way I see it. Now. Half of America likes to be able to take their kids to school in the daylight with, like it is uh, roughly now, if we change it, you'll be taking your kids to school in dark. But half of america loves it to get home from work with an extra hour of daylight. He says so it's 50 50 so what do we do?
Speaker 1:he didn't say so. I think it's going to stay the same forever. They're never going to change it. Aren't there a couple of states that don't even honor it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, there are, I think.
Speaker 1:Is Alaska one of them?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1:Maybe, I don't know, there's another one, maybe Arizona.
Speaker 2:My thing is I don't understand why it would benefit anybody Like I don't understand.
Speaker 1:It's a farmer's thing going back to farmers.
Speaker 2:Look it up, I'm not yeah it is accurate on this, but some of it was so that the kids could come home from school and plant and help harvest.
Speaker 1:I think so. Give them more daylight in the afternoon. Yeah, exactly right. Something about the dew on the ground, the moisture on the ground. Uh, if you let it, it stays dark later. I don't know, there's a whole reason why they did this, but I wish we'd just stay one way or the other, because it's confusing I do too, but it is what it is yeah, and just just have to do it.
Speaker 1:so sunday morning don't forget to get ready for church. Uh, if you, you don't have the clocks that have to automatically adjust themselves, like your, your phone, your computers, like I've got an old radio by my bed, clock radio, which I have to change it, and the microwave I have to change it. The one on my stove, I have to change it, and then the one in my car, no, actually the one in your car, I have to change it because you don't know how to do it.
Speaker 1:You're a genius, she's a mathematical. I'm not a genius, she really is. I'm kind of yeah, I am, she is. She's a genius, she makes like two buttons. But anyway, this is a weekend to do that. Weather-wise, it's getting a little better today Mid-60s how about next week? Look at low to mid-70s Nice.
Speaker 2:What are you taking pictures of? We have over 700 people watching us live no. What watching us live? No. What are we doing this? We have 704. I keep taking pictures because it keeps going that is awesome, I know.
Speaker 1:Thank you, yeah, thanks for watching, and make be sure to make a guess while you're watching this morning on there, what the blank our puzzle is up. It's a southern term which I don't think they've ever used. A. This is a category on will of fortune, southern term well, we are, we're using it five words yeah we put a couple of letters up.
Speaker 1:Make a guess, because today's the day you know. We have a winner today. Make a guess and coming up, we'll have an hourly winner this hour. If you have more than one, get it right, we'll pull out a name. Your name goes into the drawing at 8 30 today, where one person from the entire week who's been the hourly winner wins a 25 gift card from emblem credit union and a25 gift card from Emblem Credit Union and a $25 gift card from Alabama Pizza Company in Rainbow City. So that goes to somebody. We've got that going on. We've got the Pot of Gold contest. I was at the Snead State baseball game yesterday. They played Shelton State, by the way. Oh, something happened 800.
Speaker 1:Wow, what's going on?
Speaker 2:I don't know why did we get popular all of a sudden?
Speaker 1:I think they heard we're giving away a pot of gold and they really believe it.
Speaker 2:Hey, we're giving away over $300 in prizes, though I'd love to have it, because these are gift cards from all these sponsors.
Speaker 1:You can do a lot of stuff with them, but anyway, I had one of the players came up and asked me a question about the pot of gold. He was curious. He pickles in there beside the chips and the spears. No, he said, because he's mathematically trying to figure this out. Oh, okay, okay, and I said nope, that's the. Those are the two kinds, the kind you put on like hamburgers and sandwiches, and then the spears.
Speaker 1:And yeah, he said his buddies are trying to figure it out the kind you eat on the hamburger and the kind you eat on the side of the hamburger yeah, and like maybe a sub sandwich, like I think this is a firehouse, they always give you like a big old pickle.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, those are good, oh yeah, and most cafes do like, um you know, little lunch cafes.
Speaker 1:They usually give you a side of a pickle for a sandwich yeah, and I wanted to know if they could come by the station and actually look at it in person and look at and examine it.
Speaker 2:I said no pickles are gone, man pickles are gone.
Speaker 1:I said he said why. I said because they sit back in the office for about two hours after we made the pictures and they began stinking up the whole station.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we could smell it when we walked through the door.
Speaker 1:Pickles in the toilet's not a good smell.
Speaker 2:No, it's not. It's a real toilet. It's spray painted gold. I mean, I don't want to crush your dreams, but it's just spray paint, it's not actual gold. So don't come try to steal it from us, because it's worthless.
Speaker 1:No, it's just a toilet, it was slightly used.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's just slightly used, slightly used. Where'd you find this?
Speaker 1:I think we got it from Weathers, I think, oh a new one. Somebody had bought it and then didn't use it. They returned it because there was like a small chip or a fleek or something which I wouldn't have noticed. So they so that's where we got it.
Speaker 2:Well, okay, I'm going to stop getting distracted.
Speaker 1:Okay, so anyway, that's where we got it from. And the other question was I'll let you answer this one he said wanted to know, did the pickles go all the way down to the bottom of the inside of the toilet? No, they do not and I said no.
Speaker 2:They are layered. He said how far do they go?
Speaker 1:I said we had something in the toilet because it would have had about 50 jars of pickles.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like we couldn't.
Speaker 1:We can't afford that, because we used a big two. Was it two gallons of pickles?
Speaker 2:No, don't say that, don't say that.
Speaker 1:No, they still don't know how many pickles are in a gallon.
Speaker 2:If you look at, I looked it up and it is.
Speaker 1:But we pulled some of them out and didn't use all of them, because some of them were injured, they were torn, they were broken, they were damaged.
Speaker 2:I'm going to be honest, I ate a couple of them.
Speaker 1:And so did Braden, the attorney, me and Braden, yeah, we ate the pickles. He put the pickle in his pocket. That was cool.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, you know, you never know what we're doing at this station. Right now we got pickles in a potty.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 2:Sometimes Braden's got pickles in his pocket.
Speaker 1:But anyway I told him no, the pickle, the picture they don't go all the way down to the bottom of the toilet. There was something in there, so the pickles go about roughly halfway We'll give you that clue Roughly halfway.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't even know if they go half, but yeah, yeah, yeah. So that may be the only thing We'll see.
Speaker 1:I'll help you See, if you're watching Facebook Live, you got some information. Everybody up early this morning got some information that the other listeners don't get. All thousand of you, yeah, so really, yes, what is going on this morning? That is crazy. I don't know, but we want to know this morning so you'll have a good weekend. What's going on today?
Speaker 2:Today is National Cereal Day. Do you like cereal? I?
Speaker 1:like cereal. I used to always eat it when I was little, with milk in it.
Speaker 2:But as I got older I just liked to sit on the couch sometimes and get me a box of Frosted Flakes and just snack.
Speaker 1:Just raw dog, the cereal, raw dog. Yeah yeah, a commando there, or whatever you call it. But also Apple Jacks is good to eat. That's a good question. What cereal is good to eat just by itself, with no sugar and no milk added?
Speaker 2:All of them, just like a snack. I love all of them.
Speaker 1:No, Rice Krispies is not good unless you make it into a treat?
Speaker 2:Ooh, that's true, yeah.
Speaker 1:Like cornflakes, are just plain.
Speaker 2:Yeah, not the sugar, they're good. Yeah, anything's better with sugar.
Speaker 1:So what about you? Do you ever eat one just as a snack?
Speaker 2:Um, yeah.
Speaker 1:Fruit Loops are good.
Speaker 2:Yeah, fruit Loops is a top-ranked cereal. Number two this is weird Raisin Bran I have to have sugar on my Raisin, bran. Yeah, have I ever eaten it Cocoa Puffs, number four Apple Jacks and number five Rice Krispies.
Speaker 1:You ever seen Grape Nuts?
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:You ever had those.
Speaker 2:No, I don't know what that is.
Speaker 1:You need to look them up. Mother bought those once.
Speaker 2:Grape Nuts.
Speaker 1:Grape Nuts. They're like. I think they use them to fill potholes with. They are hard as a rock and it don't matter how long the yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, on this day this is a neat fact On this day in 1897, dr John Kellogg, is that familiar?
Speaker 1:Kellogg's.
Speaker 2:Kellogg's cereal Served the world's first cereal to his patients. And here's where it's neat yeah, At a mental hospital in Battle Creek Michigan.
Speaker 1:I've always heard the Battle Creek Michigan because from the makers of Kellogg's and they would always say on the old commercials in Battle. Creek Michigan.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so he served it to his mental hospital patients.
Speaker 1:That is cool.
Speaker 2:Gave him a little treat there. A little treat.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And then I got a couple jokes. What do cats eat for breakfast?
Speaker 1:What do cats eat for breakfast? I have no idea Mice Krispies. Mice Krispies. Yeah, do you have another one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what do snowmen eat for breakfast?
Speaker 1:What do snowmen eat for breakfast? I?
Speaker 2:have no idea. Frosted flakes, oh flakes, frosted flakes. Let me do one more, one more.
Speaker 1:One more, one more.
Speaker 2:What do you call a cereal box full of snakes?
Speaker 3:I have no idea.
Speaker 2:Honey, bunches of nopes.
Speaker 1:That's pretty good, not bad. It's still early in the show, you don't want to peak too soon. I don't want to peak too soon.
Speaker 2:Here's you a little something extra. Numerous networks and streamers are engaged in a bidding war for Hasbro's reality TV series that's going to come out. That's about the board game Monopoly.
Speaker 1:We were just talking about that yesterday, about Monopoly yeah, of being the banker.
Speaker 2:Isn't that cool.
Speaker 1:Favorite cheat on the board game is always being Monopoly's banker.
Speaker 2:I always cheat on games. I do too, do you really? That's why we can never. I do too, do you really I?
Speaker 1:always cheat. We could never play a game together where neither one of us could win.
Speaker 2:No, but if we were on the same team, we might double cheat and be double rich.
Speaker 1:The key is keep a few of the little houses in your hand before the game starts.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, and then slowly Just slap them up on the board.
Speaker 1:When you throw a house out there, it all of a sudden becomes two houses.
Speaker 2:What about hotels? Hotels too, or just.
Speaker 1:Hotels are easy to catch. Yeah, they're easy to catch the little green ones. They don't really pinch in that close.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, well the show is reportedly a large-scale social experiment. Oh, that means it's going to have drama. It's described as a battle of strategy, alliances and cutthroat competition. Ooh Yep, alliances and cutthroat competition. They're going to battle for fortune and navigate the fine line between capitalism and chaos.
Speaker 1:So this is going to be a big deal. So you're saying the networks are fighting over this.
Speaker 2:They're fighting over who gets the rights to it.
Speaker 1:I would like to watch this. I don't think I'd be any good on the show. I'd get kicked off for cheating.
Speaker 2:I would too. There's no way I could make it without cheating. But here's something to think about with Easter just around the corner. Here's two Easter movies I looked up and saw on Netflix last night. Oh, Number one Night of the Living Peeps.
Speaker 1:I've never seen that one, so is that pretty good? Yeah, pretty good.
Speaker 2:Probably Okay, what's the?
Speaker 1:other one, children of the candy corn oh, children of the candy corn, it's totally different. I'll have to find this yeah, netflix has got everything.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's 620 wqsb mornings with barry and holly and we've been talking about the Office, the TV show the Office. You know they're bringing it back, yeah, and they're trying what they're doing it similar. They're going to have One of the characters I'm trying to think of who it was has signed on to be on the Office in a non-recurring role, but it's going to be filmed like they do the Office, where they talk to the camera, but it like they do the office, where they talk to the camera but it's going to take place.
Speaker 2:I believe in a a failing newspaper okay, and much like the office, they're going to have different employees in there it's going to bomb it is you know, after michael scott left after steve carell left, I didn't watch and then they brought, they even tried, will ferrell, it wasn't.
Speaker 1:It wasn't as good it didn't work, but anyway, one of the favorite episodes, and you showed this because I've never seen it until recently. Do you remember the episode Scott's Cots? I didn't, until you showed it to me.
Speaker 2:Okay, so Michael Scott did this thing with the school and I'm running off strictly memory here, so bear with me. He promised this certain class that he would pay for all of their college when they were like kindergartners, all of their college when they were like Kindergarteners. They were like, if you can make it through All the way to graduation. And he had picked a school that there was like a really low graduation rate, like a really Nobody hardly graduated A really unfortunate school, yeah, but they ended up with like a 90 something percent Success rate, graduation rate With this one class.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:So the time came around and they called him scott's tots and he, he goes to speak to the class and he's like I can't pay for your college, but you're going to use computers and everybody gets excited and those need batteries. He.
Speaker 1:He gave everybody free batteries. So the funny part of the show was he promised them all paying for their college. He paid for nobody's college.
Speaker 2:He just gave them batteries.
Speaker 1:Because 12 years later he didn't realize that they're all going to be able to graduate.
Speaker 2:No, he thought they were going to fail out.
Speaker 1:So anyway, a couple of days ago the actor Steve Carell did something pretty cool. That kind of ties into that episode.
Speaker 2:This is so cool. So, because of the wildfires in Los Angeles in California, he collaborated with a charity to announce in a video that high school students in this affected area would have their prom tickets covered. So, he did this. He did Scott's Tots.
Speaker 1:He teamed up with Alice's Kids and they donated $175,000. Yes, and paying for the prom covering tickets for more than 800 students, Because at this school, apparently, you have to buy your prom ticket.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you do. We always had to do that, Did you not? No?
Speaker 1:it was free. Oh yeah, we had to buy our prom tickets. I didn't know, okay.
Speaker 2:The heartwarming gesture was shared on Alice's Kids Instagram account and it says if you have already paid for your prom tickets, they will reimburse you. It's a good deal. Have fun, enjoy the prom and remember this is Steve Carell.
Speaker 1:And I want to play this on the Today Show yesterday morning and we're going to play you the piece. The first piece is a hymn on the office when he notices he's screwed up and can't pay. Then it goes into the real Steve Carell and the video he recorded for the school kids. And here it goes.
Speaker 4:I just I fell in love with these kids. This is the office. I didn't want to see them fall victim to the system, so I made them a promise. I told them that if they graduated from high school, I would pay for their college education. I have made some empty promises in my life, but, hands down, that was the most generous. I will not be able to pay for anybody's tuition.
Speaker 1:I'm so, so, sorry, so that's obviously the office and Scott's tots didn't really work out.
Speaker 6:That was on the TV show.
Speaker 1:Then it switches to the video.
Speaker 5:He recorded this week he teamed up with a nonprofit organization to bring a sweet surprise to teens in Los Angeles impacted by those recent wildfires.
Speaker 6:Take a look, this is Steve Carell with a very special announcement. I work with a wonderful charity based out of Virginia called Alice's Kids, and Alice's Kids wanted me to let you know that they will be paying for all of your prom tickets and if you have already paid for your prom tickets, they will reimburse you for your prom tickets. It's a pretty good deal.
Speaker 1:Have fun, enjoy the prom and that was the announcement and played in front of the entire senior class and they got to watch it?
Speaker 2:did you remember watching the scott's hot episode?
Speaker 1:oh my god, I went back and watched it after you told me about it do you ever have have moments of cringe when you're watching? A show. That was one of the hardest episodes to watch.
Speaker 2:Secondhand embarrassment, Like it is so hard to watch.
Speaker 1:It felt so hard and bad for him and it bothers me that you tell me at the radio station I'm just like Michael Scott.
Speaker 2:You are, and I don't know why you take such offense. Like y'all, he really gets upset with me. Like y'all, he really gets upset with me. Like, not just a, oh, you're kidding, he's like why, why. But you are like the Michael Scott of our station. Who would I be?
Speaker 1:Pam Would I? Yeah, because she had just a great personality, she was funny. Then she eventually well, I think she got promoted later.
Speaker 2:Yes, she did, she did.
Speaker 1:And she got what she deserved. And her and Jim got together.
Speaker 2:You want to be Jim, but Jim is Will. That's Will.
Speaker 1:He don't play any practical jokes. Jim played nonstop practical jokes yes, he does. Name one? Oh, I don't know. See there you go, but here's the thing dwight be, uh, dale dale stallings, he would be. I love dwight, though I love dwight and we love dale. Yeah, we do. Yeah, but anyway, that's a great thing steve carell did. I thought it was funny that he recorded that and the kids were so excited you because I.
Speaker 2:It's just his personality like. He's so dry, he's so like if people watching our Facebook Live would get it, because they get to see behind the scenes Radio. You and real life, you are two different people. Am I the same person on air than I am off air?
Speaker 1:No, you're not, Okay yeah.
Speaker 2:Because we got to watch our mouths.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because we both push the limit.
Speaker 1:I'm always stepping, putting my foot in my mouth. Yeah, you do, I see, like my Michael Scott does.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you do that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but anyway, that great thing Steve Carell did.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:All right 634.
Speaker 3:Mornings with Barry and Hall here on Alabama's country giant WQSB. Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, but true.
Speaker 1:All right, crazy but true. We have enough to worry about with eggs. Now they're telling us that we got to worry about certain meats we're eating, that there's a lot of meats, or maybe getting low of some of these, and they are the US Fish and Wildlife Service. They've released a list a few days ago. It's the National Invasive Species Awareness Week back in a few weeks ago and they released a list of animals and varmints, basically, that are causing damage, and they're causing damage to all kinds of our ecosystem, all kinds of things, and they say that we need to stop these. Instead of just going out and killing these, it would be better if we killed them and then ate them. Ew, so it's like a win-win for everybody. They're saying we're getting rid of them, they're going to stop harming the environment in these areas, and we get to good protein.
Speaker 2:How about they eat these animals? I agree, why don't they? Why don't you show us how to do it? They should eat the iguanas, yeah.
Speaker 1:So have you seen the list of the top three that they put on the list? This one I've never heard of this one. It's the C-O-Y-P, the coipu Coipu. It looks like the one that you're Capy. That one does a lot of damage. And they say that the northern snakehead fish needs to go.
Speaker 2:I wouldn't want to sit down at a restaurant. I want the northern snakehead fish, please, what's?
Speaker 1:your fresh catch.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, we've got the tuna, We've got the salmon, yeah, we've got the northern snakehead fish.
Speaker 2:It's fresh. I'll take that please.
Speaker 1:It's fresh from the creek.
Speaker 2:With a side of broccoli.
Speaker 1:And then the third one that they're saying that we should eat more of is the green iguana.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's mean.
Speaker 1:I don't know that I'd ever want to eat a green iguana.
Speaker 2:So I went to Key West one time and there's iguanas just hanging out up there. They're just saying what's up? Like they just got a cigarette hanging out of their mouth. They got little flip flops on. They're just everywhere.
Speaker 1:Don't they like in Florida, when it gets like a freak cold snap, that they're falling out of the trees?
Speaker 2:Yeah, they freeze.
Speaker 1:Literally freeze Momentarily. Then they'll come back to life and they'll just fall out of the trees.
Speaker 2:They'll fall out. But yeah, they do. But I saw a couple of food trucks. No, oh yeah On a stick, a guana on a stick, A guano on a stick, skinned on a stick.
Speaker 1:That's nasty.
Speaker 2:I know it is. I'm not going to get real graphic because I know people are eating breakfast, but still, how about now? I know it's a delicacy, I guess.
Speaker 1:The only way I'd eat one is with this.
Speaker 2:Help me, I'm poor. I would rather eat rocks.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I'll go find some fresh berries. Yeah, I'll go find some fresh berries.
Speaker 1:I have to say no, that may or may not kill me.
Speaker 2:I don't know, because you never know, with berries, true On a bush. How?
Speaker 1:would you cook this? What would you do with it? They put it over a fire, oh do they have like an iguana helper there? Hmm, something like that. Hmm, hashbrown iguana casserole, hmm an iguana casserole.
Speaker 2:I mean, I guess you could.
Speaker 1:You can make anything that you'd want to, really, you could I mean it comes down to it yes, I'm sure Bear Grylls has probably had one or two, probably raw.
Speaker 2:Like Mama. Mama, will you make me some green iguana soup please?
Speaker 1:Yeah, mama, what's for supper? Well, we're going to have some meatloaf and some mashed potatoes, mom.
Speaker 2:And some Koi Poo casserole.
Speaker 1:You said we'd have green iguana this week. I'm going next door. I think they're having yellow iguana.
Speaker 2:I don't know, man, these are so cute.
Speaker 1:I don't see when would the meat be?
Speaker 2:And also, how are you just going to eat that one type of fish, Like of all the fish that are swimming around?
Speaker 1:Northern snakehead.
Speaker 2:Do you tell your bait only catch the snakehead fish?
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 5:Like if your dad goes to a fishing tournament, don't catch the crappie little cricket.
Speaker 1:Ask your dad how tough that would be. I mean he goes to a bass master tournament, yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, dad's caught some weird things that would be fun in the morning to go over all the stuff that dad's caught.
Speaker 1:Yeah, ask him if he's ever had to go to the Northern Snakehead Fish Tournament.

Speaker 2:There is this thing and I looked it. It's apparently very common for hedgehogs. She poops on her running wheel.
Speaker 1:While she's running.
Speaker 2:Her exercise wheel. Yeah, she poops while she's running.
Speaker 1:And she don't mind it.
Speaker 2:I mean no, and the research that I saw said that they poop when they're relaxed, wherever they are. They don't poop to mark territory or to be jerks. Pretty much is what it's saying.
Speaker 1:But, yeah, it just comes out when it's ready. I guess it makes you feel like she's losing weight, like she's doing some good. Yeah, maybe I'm just glad people don't do this at the gym I go to yeah, that's good that they don't do that there. I probably would have to just walk.
Speaker 2:Even walking outside would be dangerous about enough down at gunnersville with a goose poop I know there's even that little poop poop prints on the treadmill.
Speaker 1:No no on the wheel, on the hamster wheel. Which gym do you go to? No, wow, not at the gym.
Speaker 2:No, not on the track.
Speaker 1:Okay, you scared me.
Speaker 2:But the little poop prints on the hamster wheel, yeah gotcha. I don't know why she does this, but I looked it up this morning. I just typed in hamster poop or not hamster hedgehog pooping on wheel and it popped up a ton of articles and it was like, yeah, that's what they do. Yeah, you just got to keep it clean.
Speaker 1:That is crazy.
Speaker 3:At 6.56,. Birthdays are next. Wqsb mornings with Barry and Holly.
Speaker 1:And, like I was telling Mark Brickey at Sand Mountain Toyota, they've been a big help for us for many years.
Speaker 5:They have yeah.
Speaker 1:Between Mark and Rhonda Back. They've been a big help for us for many years. They have, yeah, between Mark and Rhonda Back when Rhonda even when she worked at Belk years ago, she began raising money for St Jude and then she moved to Sand Mountain Toyota and continued and got Mark involved.
Speaker 2:And, man, it takes people like the Sand Mountain Toyotas and we've got so many other businesses who have now stepped on board, and it's not just us doing it, it takes a lot of people to make this work and be successful yeah, we can't do it by ourselves yeah, and we are so thankful for mark and ronda, and they are going through a lot right now and could definitely use your prayers so if you have a church list or a personal prayer list that you pray on, mark and ronda could both use that and will your?
Speaker 1:your last year was your first year you'd been at the radio station. We've done the radio a ton for St Jude Children's Research Hospital. So, being inside the building, what did you think last year?
Speaker 5:I thought it was unbelievable. Really, behind the scenes, people don't understand what actually goes on. It's not like one of those telethons that you see on TV where people are just acting like they're picking up the phone. No, there's people calling in all the time. Everybody's doing something and I think it's amazing, just like what Mark had indicated I mean millions of dollars that has gone to St Jude because of the radio station just being here, but it really boils down to the listening area.
Speaker 5:The community yeah, the community, because they're the ones donating. Yeah, know we're. We're just, uh, in between person for people to reach out and be able to get that donation.
Speaker 2:Yeah, to saint jude what amazes me is we'll have people out at different places or different areas and they just have a bucket and people will drive up sunglasses on, have the corner of the check ripped off so you don't know who it is and drop a $1,000, $10,000 check in the bucket.
Speaker 1:It's amazing.
Speaker 2:And they don't want any recognition.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:They don't want to come in, they don't want to be a shout-out, they just want to donate, and this money goes straight to these children that are fighting life-threatening diseases. Sometimes we can cure them, sometimes we're able to help them and send them home and live a happy life with their family. Sometimes we lose them, but no matter what stage of life they're in, they all deserve a fighting chance and because of this we can give it to them.
Speaker 5:And speaking from experience, not necessarily on the cancer side, but just a single dollar goes a long way. I mean that single dollar, or whatever amount that you decide to donate, those are minutes, precious minutes that you're putting toward adding life to a child or to somebody. True, and you know, like I said, I've experienced something similar firsthand, so I can attest to that. You know, each dollar does count and it does matter, yeah.
Speaker 1:So don't think the small amount you donate doesn't matter. It all goes into the big pile. Last year was your best year ever over $210,000 in one day.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And that's amazing. For this what St Jude, everybody considers. It's a small area compared to the New Yorks and For the family. Yes, it does.
Speaker 2:You know the little things that you really don't think of. Yeah.
Speaker 5:Travel. Yeah, you know, gas, where they stay. Meals Each, let's just get it, all gets used.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. Even if one of the kids is like two o'clock in the morning, I really want some Cocoa Puffs. They will find a way to get those babies those Cocoa Puffs, so your money may go towards that. It all adds up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's a big day. It's coming up a week from Tuesday, march 18th. You can help in many ways, whether it's a phone call, partner in hope or one-time donation. We'll be giving you all the details and just think about it. If you think you might can afford to do something it doesn't have to be a major, you can, or you can even pass the bucket of work then bring that to us on Tuesday March 18th and that's the big day, from 6 am until 9 pm. That's right. Other things you can learn about today. Speaking of kids, I notice your number two story there talks about kids. What about you? 62 pounds of pasta. What do you think? You think that's about right?
Speaker 2:That's what it says. The average American child eats 62 pounds of pasta each year. Wow, that's a lot of macaroni.
