Speaker 1:Here's the crazy thing it's going to freeze the pollen. We'll have frozen pollen tomorrow morning.
Speaker 2:Wow, that'll be neat.
Speaker 1:Somebody put up a video on TikTok of somebody doing some tree trimming and tree cutting. It was like in Tennessee a few days ago, before this last rain come through, and the tree fell. When it did, this huge cloud of pollen just exploded and they were thinking man, I'm glad we're not close, it don't matter, if you're close, that cloud is going to get you. Yeah, it was so thick.
Speaker 2:I keep saying I don't have allergies. It was so thick. I keep saying I don't have allergies, the pollen's not bothering me. But this morning my eyes are itching and I've sneezed and I've had to blow my nose.
Speaker 1:So I guess it is getting to me a little bit. Well, the rain helped for a day or two. Now here it comes back again. Today, warm weather again, sunshine, it's going to feel better today. It was just cold yesterday, I never could warm up. Today, sunny, it will be windy again, but it's going to hit about 59. Then tonight, yes, freeze warning. Nothing to be concerned about. They're just giving you a heads up that probably tomorrow morning when you leave for work and school, probably going to be some frost. When you went chilled. Some air is going down to 31 to 30 degrees tonight and then degrees tonight and then tomorrow back up close to 70. Crazy weather.
Speaker 1:Uh, the weekend does look good for the planning ahead for the weekend. You got things going on. The only chance of rain this week is thursday and thursday night about a 50 50 shot. Then you get into the weekend no rain, friday, saturday or sunday, with lows in the low to mid 60s. So much better weekend. So good morning to you. Oh, it's a big day today.

Speaker 2:They also want to know what time do we call?
Speaker 1:Whenever?
Speaker 2:you hear it? Yeah, you got to wait and listen.
Speaker 1:I'll tell you. One way you might be able to get a sneak preview is to watch us on Facebook Live.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we'll give you a little heads up.
Speaker 1:Sometimes we'll give you a heads up, saying, hey, coming up in less than five minutes, get ready. We're going to do this and you may not hear that on the radio. But you're saying that's not fair. Well, yeah, it is.
Speaker 2:We're just having casual conversation here, off the air Come hang out with us.
Speaker 1:Yeah, turn on Facebook Live and, while you're there, play our game. What the Blank. Big thank you to Alabama Pizza Company in Rainbow City. Give away another $25 gift card. That'll get you a large pizza and it's so good. Do we have the other sponsor bank? It's Emblem. Yes, thank you. Use anywhere and I love watching Alabama Pizza Company Andre in the Kitchen. Oh man, this guy. I thought we worked hard. I think he's there. He really is. I think he makes every single pizza he does.
Speaker 2:I don't think anybody else there is qualified or allowed to.
Speaker 1:I don't think they're allowed to touch the dough. Get your hands away from my dough.
Speaker 2:That's Andre's dough, yeah, but the dough. Get your hands away from my dough.
Speaker 1:That's Andre's dough, but anyway, we'll be playing what the blank Right now. The first puzzle is up, it's in the kitchen and it's five words, so make your guess. Type it in on Facebook Live.
Speaker 2:Sorry to guess.
Speaker 1:You're kidding me? Okay, I'm going to erase it and do another one then. No, we'll leave it up there. Yes, it's not first come, first serve.
Speaker 2:Right, unless it's after 7 or 8.30. Yes, yeah, and it's sudden death.
Speaker 1:Which? How about last night's game Florida and Houston?
Speaker 2:What was the?
Speaker 1:score 65-63. Whoa and Houston had a chance to win at the buzzer and missed the three. Well, they didn't even get to shoot to the third, wouldn't you be sick to be that guy. Yes, but Florida trailed pretty much the entire second half until about seven, eight minutes left. Oh, my gosh, which they've done this off and on for the past month, like Auburn had them down.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they did. Florida came back.
Speaker 1:So Florida won their third national championship. Go SEC. Third one for Florida, so congratulations. I had Florida beating Duke in the finals so I got the team. I dismissed the other opponent.
Speaker 2:Well, I thought that it was going to be Florida and Duke.
Speaker 1:Right but.
Speaker 2:I thought that it was going to be Duke. Yeah, that one, but I was wrong.
Speaker 1:There you go.
Speaker 2:Which I guess you shouldn't be surprised that Florida won.
Speaker 1:That's why I picked them. They played so well over the past month and a half. They played so good.
Speaker 2:It was Alex Condon that shot the game-winning lose in the final second.
Speaker 1:He won and then Houston had a chance. The guy, I think, went up in the air to take a shot and the defense got a hand in the face. He dropped the ball so his teammates and I could pick it up and shoot, and nobody moved the ball and Florida dove on it and fell on it with four seconds left and the clock ran out. That's crazy, I love games like that. Did you see the final play which the guy went up to shoot and he couldn't because Florida's defense stopped?
Speaker 2:him? Is that Will Richard, I think.
Speaker 1:Put a hand in the guy's face. Yeah, yeah I think it is yeah, so congrats to Florida Gators win.
Speaker 2:So this is the first SEC championship since 2012.
Speaker 1:It's been a few years. Yeah, it's been. What? 13 years.
Speaker 2:Yeah, their first national title was in 2007 and then it's the first for the SEC since Kentucky's 2012.
Speaker 1:So like they won back to back back in 2006. I believe I'm right on this. This is their third. You would hope the SEC, because they were so strong this year. Weren't we like how many teams One time they had seven of the top ten teams in the poll was SEC teams.
Speaker 2:I didn't get to watch that when we were at dance.
Speaker 1:This is when stuff happens. I don't like this anymore. I don't like the transfer portal. As soon as the season ended, Alabama one of their players announced he's done, he's going and he's transferring. I think he's going to Kentucky. So everybody began switching teams on who can pay me the most. I don't like that at all.
Speaker 2:I know the portal has opened up, if you sign with a team.
Speaker 1:I wish like the old days. You stay with that team until you graduate.
Speaker 2:Until you graduate. Yeah, but they don't wait for them to graduate anymore. No, no.
Speaker 1:They play one year. If you don't pay me enough, I'll move, I'll go play somewhere else. Yeah, that's it, so it's already started.
Speaker 2:What about Cooper Flagg?
Speaker 1:He's probably going to own half of North Carolina. They're giving him his own forest or something, or his own something, cooper.
Speaker 2:Flag.
Speaker 1:National Park or something, but yeah, they've got to keep him. Yeah, all right. By the way, we've got NASCAR math. That's also going on today, so get ready, but again, rock this house to get your first chance. The wind comes up later on this morning. How do you know? Other things going on today, april the 8th. What's happening?
Speaker 2:today, today, speaking of Andre and Alabama Pizza Company, today is National Deep Dish Pizza Day.
Speaker 1:Which do you like? Better deep dish or the thin pizza.
Speaker 2:Hand-tossed. I love it, right in the middle.
Speaker 1:I love the deep dish.
Speaker 2:I don't like it because it's too much bread.
Speaker 1:It's a lot of work.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So much food.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I love New York pizza. Have you ever been to New York? I have not, okay.
Speaker 1:I love New York pizza.
Speaker 2:Have you ever been to New York? I have not. Okay, Let me tell you this quick story and then I'll move on To tell you how different times are Okay In 2019, no 2020, January 2020.
Speaker 1:Okay, five years ago.
Speaker 2:Yep, I was in New York City. I had some meetings with some brands I was working with and there are downtown dollar pizza spots you can walk in. It's a dollar. Well, when you're in downtown New York City, there's nowhere to like really sit, you just got to stand where you're at. There's tons of places to eat, but they have on the outside on the streets, these little tables, right, yeah, so hundreds of thousands of people use these tables. There's like crumbs and like sauces and all this stuff, and we got a piece of pizza for a dollar, which, by the way, was the best pizza I've ever had. Yeah, but when I got to the little table, I flipped it over on the table. Oh no, I know the line was so long I didn't want to go back and get back in line.
Speaker 1:I ate that pizza. See, you got onto me yesterday. I know, I know.
Speaker 2:But this is how times have changed since COVID On the plane back home was the first time I had ever heard COVID-19.
Speaker 1:Oh no.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and we had just left New York City, which was like the hot spot. Yeah, I was for like two months. I was like I'm going to die because I ate street pizza.
Speaker 1:Upside down pizza on the table.
Speaker 2:But I ate it.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Isn't that weird why?
Speaker 1:is it different their pizza than ours? Because, like Alabama Pizza Company, they say that they have the authentic style, yeah, the kind that they make.
Speaker 2:It's a dollar.
Speaker 1:Is it the sauce? It's greasy. Does it taste better?
Speaker 2:Yes, Everything, the grease, you think, is the key. Uh-huh.
Speaker 1:You have the best grease in the world now. Yes, gotcha Okay.
Speaker 2:Probably hasn't been changed in 20 years and it has just seasoned to perfection.
Speaker 1:Well, good so now I know it's good, isn't?
Speaker 2:that weird to think about it is I ate? At an outside wooden table, yep, with no telling what kind of germs that's probably where covid was.
Speaker 1:Yeah, probably on that table originated started?
Speaker 2:probably. Probably I probably started it. Some rat jumped up there. Holly molly started the pandemic, probably. Yeah, anyway, new york and chicago both claim that they have the best deep dish pizza.
Speaker 1:Um, new york didn't have the best deep dish I just don't you know, chicago has best, I think I mean around here, maters has a really good deep dish pizza, mm-hmm, mm-hmm yeah 20% of Americans don't like deep dish.
Speaker 2:Oh, ha-ha, yeah. And they believe pizza is meant to be eaten with your hands, not with a fork and knife. I agree.
Speaker 1:What kind of animal would do that Well with a deep dish? Have to, no, you fold it.
Speaker 2:Oh, you're a folder.
Speaker 1:Yes, Okay you gotta know when to fold them.
Speaker 2:Well, you always fold and when to hold them. You fold it like you hold the crust and you hold the bottom and you scoop it into your mouth.
Speaker 1:You've got me craving a good deep dish pizza now.
Speaker 2:Wow, do you like Supreme?
Speaker 1:I like everything on it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, me too. Here's a little something extra. Ratings from the Nielsen show that the men's Final Four averaged about 15.3 million viewers, and it was the best rating since 2017.
Speaker 1:I think it's the most basketball I've watched, as far as the Final Four, as far as the tournament Me too, but I think it's because the SEC is so dominant, and Alabama and Auburn both did so well.
Speaker 2:They really did. Alabama I'm a big Alabama fan yeah. And they did, which you know. I wanted Auburn to do good too.
Speaker 1:I wish Auburn could have played Florida for the championship. That would have been fun.
Speaker 2:Two SEC teams. I wish Auburn could have played Alabama for the championship.
Speaker 1:That would have been good TV doing in the South.
Speaker 2:Because when has that ever happened?
Speaker 1:For the Final Four, not in the championship. Not for a national championship. Not for basketball no, never.
Speaker 2:Never, probably never will.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't know if we could ever have the equal talent.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:And here's something to think about A friend of mine. She said she gave her boss a cookie yesterday at work.
Speaker 1:That's a nice hover.
Speaker 2:Well, she said she gave her boss a cookie yesterday at work. That's a nice hover. Well, she says that it's just in case they do another random drug test. And if they do, everybody's going down. Everybody, oh my goodness, everybody's going down if they ate her cookies.
Speaker 1:I bet the boss was fun in the afternoon. She's just covering her you get a raise, you get a raise, everybody gets a raise.
Speaker 2:What is that called?
Speaker 1:CYA a raise, you get a raise, everybody gets a raise. What is that called cya?
Speaker 2:yeah, when you cover your exactly, so that's a smart move.
Speaker 1:So you fit if you fail.
Speaker 3:If I go down, you're going down too, mrs c, if we offer you a cookie, just say no, no take it yeah, 6, 20 mornings with barry and holly here on alabama's country, giant wqsb but first, uh, since you've been gone, and this is scary because I know when uh reed and reagan began driving.
Speaker 1:I was so worried when they first, because uh, reagan, she's a good driver now, but she, she had a moment. She scared me to death, yeah, when she first started.
Speaker 2:But they're saying that younger drivers are not paying attention and it's getting worse with all these distractions inside the car yeah, so a recent survey released nationwide says that national distracted driving awareness month reveals 92 increase in drivers looking at their phones more frequently over just the past year 92 increase.
Speaker 1:And I'll tell you, I've been guilty of doing it myself, glancing down and looking, but I've seen so many drivers next to me not just red lights but driving. Oh yeah, you can tell when somebody's not paying attention. You meet them coming at you. Their head is down. Nine times out of ten they're looking at their phone.
Speaker 2:Yep 11% of people admit to reading or writing emails while driving.
Speaker 1:no, I wonder what the um?
Speaker 2:I wonder what the percentage is for texting and driving for teenagers especially. Yeah yeah, and then, additionally, concerns have been raised about built-in touch screens and displays contributing to driver distraction. You know, I agree with that. A lot of these car companies.
Speaker 1:They're proud to say oh, we got the biggest display screen. I think you need to make it smaller or take it out. Yeah, that's a huge distraction if I'm driving a car and I look over and I got a huge screen that I can look at other stuff. I'm probably going to look at it every now and then it's going to take my mind off the road, my eyes off the road I do for like changing music or looking at music or who sings a song. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I have bad habits of that, and if my phone goes off, I look at it.
Speaker 1:And I think the bigger the screen. Some people actually watch stuff as they're driving. No, I've seen them do that. They have the big screen and they can watch stuff on it. No, and some people put their phone on a stand in front of them on the dash now and they're looking at their phone as they're driving.
Speaker 2:No of them on the dash now and they're looking at their phone as they're driving. No, you don't need it up there. You know what? My brother told me one time that he does what I'm not. I'm not gonna say which brother?
Speaker 1:yeah, reads a book while driving oh like could sit over the steering wheel you'll never see me doing that, because I don't know, the last book probably the last book I read was pet cemetery, and that's back 20 years ago.
Speaker 2:I think it was longer than that. Yeah, it was longer than that American food is not good for you at all. Just so you know, A recent study in Tanzania highlights the impact of diet on the immune system. So, transitioning from a traditional African diet to a Western style, which is American, traditional African diet to a Western style, which is American For just two weeks, it was found to trigger inflammation, compromise immune response and activate pathways associated with chronic diseases.
Speaker 1:I believe it. When I had heart surgery about 13 years ago, they put me on a Mediterranean diet, saying that American foods are so full of all this junk you don't need. You need to do a Mediterranean diet because studies have shown that people that follow this diet live longer, because a lot of olive oils and things that you need, and I agree with this. These poor people in Tanzania, they pulled out like a group and studied them for a few weeks and let them eat American food and within two weeks they saw a change in their health. In two weeks.
Speaker 2:Did you watch the documentary where the guy ate nothing but McDonald's for like a month?
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, that was rough.
Speaker 1:What did it do to him?
Speaker 2:It like killed him Whoa. I mean not all the way, but like pretty much.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 2:He's throwing up every day.
Speaker 1:Oh, find him in the ball pit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, scary, yeah, I know Bad stuff.
Speaker 1:Isn't that scary, though, that within two weeks they proved this yeah, just two weeks. They took them off their regular African diet because their diet consists of vegetables, fiber and a lot of fermented foods. They took them off all that so you can't have any of it, but eat American food for two weeks.
Speaker 2:And their results came back and showed a huge change. Especially the inflammation was the scary part, I wonder what is considered like, what is considered american?
Speaker 1:what would you feed? What I read was a lot of fried foods. Oh, there's a lot of fried foods. Uh, you're talking the hamburgers. You're talking the french fries, the chicken, the things that you know. This you most times you don't even know what's in them oh god, like hot dogs.
Speaker 2:Yeah, stuff, stuff, like that Spam.
Speaker 1:Ooh, yeah.
Speaker 2:Vine and sausages, yeah the old viener. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:The old v-dog yeah.
Speaker 2:The v-wiener. Yeah, those will get you yeah they will, yeah, but those poor people I guess they're mad at us now 6.32.
Speaker 3:Barry and Holly on Alabama's Country, Giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:Dogwood winner or Blackberry winner?
Speaker 2:That's been the debate.
Speaker 1:So what's our listeners saying on Facebook?
Speaker 2:Okay, they're saying both, okay, but the majority goes to Dogwood, dogwood. They're saying that the Dogwood winter is in april. Okay, and blackberry winter is in may still to come still to come now some people are earlier. Yesterday I was talking and they said people on here saying they're saying their blackberry bushes are already blooming, so they think it's blackberry winter yeah but I think, I think you're right.
Speaker 1:According to the experts and our listeners, and google yeah, they're saying that dogwood is first, then blackberry yeah, that's what they're saying yeah on google, and I think it's because the dogwoods have already bloomed so early because it was so warm so early.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah which they were beautiful yes which they're also full of pollen yes which they also smell weird.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But they are beautiful.
Speaker 1:Should have been an Elvis song. You Ain't Nothing but a Dogwood. That would have been a good Bloomin' All the Time. That would have been a good song. You want me to do it, could you do that?
Speaker 2:You ain't nothing but a dogwood Bloomin' all the time See.
Speaker 1:You should recut that Change it Totally.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I could cut it, and next we'll be playing your songs at American Idol.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that'd be cool, which, by the way, we put the performance up I was playing earlier, which is awesome, between Brianna and Riley, and I'm hoping they bring Riley back, because she didn't make it, I know, but she should because they're both good.
Speaker 2:Well, on Facebook Live, when I said have you seen this man? Yeah, they are looking him up.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And they are agreeing with me. Yeah, I didn't say anything, which a lot of listeners.
Speaker 1:I just said have you seen him? He's a new voice.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because he's a Christian. Yeah, he's a Christian radio.
Speaker 1:Which I don't get the controversy back about a month ago when he asked Jelly Roll to be on Hard Fallen Hallelujah with him Because Jelly Roll is a film. Yes, and people from some contemporary Christian fans are not familiar with Jelly Roll. All they know is his past and what happened to him years ago.
Speaker 2:No, you've got to remember.
Speaker 1:Do not judge.
Speaker 2:Judas ate two. Judas sat at the table and he ate two, and Jesus knew he was going to betray him.
Speaker 1:Don't judge people on what they've done before. If they're trying to change, give them a chance and see what they can do. And Jelly Roll has proven he's really trying hard and he's helping so many people.
Speaker 2:He is, yeah, he's really making an impact. And we were talking this morning. Not that this has anything to do with his character or how great of a person he is, but he has lost so much weight. And I say this because last year we had a story on he had started a weight loss journey and we were like, okay, you know, good luck, can he do it?
Speaker 1:he's lost over 120 pounds yeah, and it looks like now around 150 pounds oh and he says it. Not only does he look better, he said that's not the main point. I feel better and I have a better chance of being here for my family long term than if I kept going down that road. And he's on idle and he did a great job last night. He's so inspirational, he is. He's so good Other things going on Holly's pile of stories in case you couldn't stay up last night. Who was the winner?
Speaker 2:The University of Florida Gators won the college basketball national title with a dramatic comeback against the University of Houston. It was a 65-63 win. The Gators trailed by 12 at one point. Then they rallied and their defense was scrappy. And then they took the lead with a final minute, ultimately winning the game.
Speaker 1:You know they've done this for the past month. They'll fall behind and then they come back. Like when they beat Auburn on Saturday, auburn led for a lot of the game. You know they've done this for the past month. They'll fall behind and then they come back. Like when they beat Auburn on Saturday, auburn led for a lot of the game. Later in the game, florida came back and did it again.
Speaker 2:Yeah, was it a late game.
Speaker 1:Started about almost 8 o'clock.
Speaker 2:Oh no, I was already there.
Speaker 1:We need to talk to March Madness. It's now April Madness and that's beyond madness.
Speaker 2:Hey us radio. People gotta wake up early.
Speaker 1:Did you watch it the very beginning of it? Oh, that's like I'm done.
Speaker 2:Did you fall asleep or were you like I?
Speaker 1:just went to bed I said I don't really care because it's not Bama or Auburn. I mean I hope Florida wins, but either way it don't matter to me.
Speaker 2:It wasn't your bracket so I said many months ago AMC Networks have revealed plans for a new anthology series titled Great American Stories. The season is to be based on John Steinbeck's timeless novel the Grapes of Wrath.
Speaker 1:Good one.
Speaker 2:And the series aims to explore various classic books and historical events.
Speaker 1:I like this. They're going to choose one book at a time and do like a series on this. So what other book do you think would be like from history? Some famous book? Did you have to read one back in school? A certain book that comes to mind?
Speaker 2:Lord of the Flies.
Speaker 1:That's a good one. They should do Pet Sematary.
Speaker 2:What's wrong with us? No, I'm kidding.
Speaker 1:Why do people like our show?
Speaker 2:No of those. Why do people like the show? No, um, we did have to read a couple of them. Uh, I don't. I don't remember. It was an english class and do you remember the poem or whatever it was called?
Speaker 1:oh, captain, my, captain, my faithful ship has is done it was a moby dick, wasn't it something?
Speaker 2:yeah, I don't know. We had to do shakespeare.
Speaker 1:We had to remember that one, though, so we didn't get to faithful ship is done.
Speaker 2:It was a Moby Dick, wasn't it? It was something.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know. We had to do Shakespeare we had to remember that one, though.
Speaker 2:But we didn't get to do Shakespeare. I would have liked it. Oh my goodness, Shakespeare to me was like algebra for English.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm never going to use this. In my entire life. I never once have I quoted Shakespeare on the morning show. You don't know that I don't remember, I've never, but he actually has a lot of popular. Yes, he does. Cliche quotes now, but when you have to learn some of these quotes and you have to get up there and recite them in front of the class.
Speaker 2:Oh, captain, my Captain, our fearful ship is done.
Speaker 1:Is that my?
Speaker 2:bid. I have no idea. I don't know. Netflix has acquired the new Monopoly competition series. Oh yay.
Speaker 1:Remember we mentioned everybody's bidding on it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Well, netflix won. Okay, the reality show features alliances and betrayals in a race featuring money and greed. Okay, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1:How's it different from the everyday world I?
Speaker 2:don't know, I'm not sure I would be interested in that.
Speaker 1:No, we'll get enough of that be interested in this?
Speaker 2:No, we'll get enough of that. Plus, it takes 500 years to play a game of Monopoly.
Speaker 1:Yes, that's why I flip the board and say I won and walk off.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I usually slip a few paper monies.
Speaker 1:If I'm the banker, you know I'm going to win.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, if I'm the banker, I'm going to win. And I'm the dog, who are you?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like the little Thimble, the thimble I knew you were a thimble.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and in case you're wondering, my favorite show, yellow Jackets, is not finished yet. Many fans thought that last week's episode had ended with a major character dying and it was a huge shocker. Yeah, and the final episode of the season. But there is going to be another episode. Season three finale drops Friday and there's no word if there's going to be another episode. Season 3 finale drops Friday and there's no word if there's going to be a fourth season. Now, this is my favorite show of all time ever. Really, yeah, it's really weird. It is. It's really dark. Yeah, it is not something you want your kids to watch.
Speaker 1:It's one where you put yourself inside. What would I do to survive? If I was in the plane crash like these girls were? Would I do what they're doing?
Speaker 2:yeah, so it's on um. The first season is on netflix showtime, showtime yeah, and then paramount also shows it.
Speaker 1:So if you have a paramount slash showtime subscription, you can.
Speaker 2:Yes, it is the best show. It's about these girls that are on a soccer team that get into a plane crash. Some people don't make it immediately. Some of them do and they are out in the woods for over a year and a half and they're in the wilderness. They start to hallucinate, they start to get hungry.
Speaker 1:It's weird. They do weird stuff, man, if it were me, I would end it with this next episode.
Speaker 2:I think I would too.
Speaker 1:They've run out of, they've killed almost every major character on the show.
Speaker 2:As much as and I think that's why I like the show is because they're not afraid for shock value, like to kill the major characters.
Speaker 1:So I don't know.
Speaker 3:All right, 656 birthdays are next mornings, with barry and holly here on alabama's country, giant wqsb oh man.
Speaker 1:But first, come on, man, the headline got me because I thought okay, that's his nickname. But uh, gainesville, gainesville, florida police, they finally apprehended speedy gonzalez. Speedy is 40 years old, that's his name, that's not his nickname, his real name. Yeah, uh, he's had to committed multiple thefts at multiple stores around the area. I guess that it's the real name. The accused is suspected of targeting various walmart's in northern georgia and parts of florida, with a total stolen goods exceeding over $20,000. I guess he was fast.
Speaker 2:That is a very ambitious name to name your child.
Speaker 1:Why would you name your son Speedy when they're first born right off the bat?
Speaker 2:What if they're like my second born and just the slowest person at everything in the world, like putting shoes on when you're trying to rush out the door?
Speaker 1:She has one speed. Put your shoes on, put your shoes on.
Speaker 2:They're one to rush out the door. She has one speed Put your shoes on. Put your shoes on.
Speaker 1:They're one speed and it doesn't get any. Yeah, what?
Speaker 2:if he was that? What if he was Medium Gonzalez, medium? Yeah, or Catafast you know how on a lawnmower they have the rabbit to the.
Speaker 1:Yeah, turtle.
Speaker 2:Turtle. Yeah, what if it was Turtle Gonzalez?
Speaker 1:Oh, Turtle, Turtle, yeah. What if it was Turtle Gonzales? Oh, Turtle yeah.
Speaker 2:Turtle Gonzales, turtle Head. Well no, you wouldn't go there Anyway. So he stole $20,000.
Speaker 1:By the time he finished, all of the different stores in parts of Georgia and Florida added up to about over $20,000 worth of stuff he had stolen. Huh, it doesn't say how they caught him, how caught old speedy, but he's 40, so he's been speedy for 40 years now there's no way I could call a grown man hey, uh, speedy gonzalez, hey, speedy no, you want to call speedy and see if he wants to come over.
Speaker 2:And yeah, drink a nickname I get.
Speaker 1:That's what you're like in sports.
Speaker 2:Is this on his birth certificate?
Speaker 1:According to this, that's his real name, it's not just George slash.
Speaker 2:Or in parentheses Speedy, george, speedy, what are these?
Speaker 1:Quotations, finger things. But no, it's not his actual name. They knew he was going to grow up to do stupid things.
Speaker 2:He's going to grow up to be fast.
Speaker 1:Maybe when he hit 40, he slowed down some, that's how they called him. Maybe he was speedy up until last week.
Speaker 2:Up until 40,. Yeah and he slowed down some.
Speaker 1:He lost a gear.
Speaker 2:And that was his story. He was speedy up until 40.
Speaker 1:I wonder what he stole that got him caught?
Speaker 2:Then he really went downhill.
Speaker 1:What do you think he stole? That got him caught Because that one thing he had to pick out and somehow they were able to catch him out in the parking lot.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's usually a TV.
Speaker 1:Big giant flat screen.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That, that a 40-incher under your shirt, or are you just trying to steal stuff?

Speaker 3:Thanks and Holly On Alabama's country giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:But police were called. First responders were called to the little boy, the 8-year-old Utah boy it's all over the news. He was jumping on a trampoline. He survived being thrown 20 feet in the air while on the trampoline.
Speaker 2:How.
Speaker 1:His name is Jake. They said it's a miracle that he survived. A sudden wind gust lifted him and the trampoline 20 feet into the air, propelling him over two cinder block walls before he landed in the street.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:He came out with only minor injuries a slight concussion and some scratches. His mom says complete miracle. Hospital staff were amazed by what happened, saying it's just a miracle that he went that high into the air over 20 feet in the air and landed on the street and he was okay.
Speaker 2:How tall is he?
Speaker 1:That's like two stories, like a two-story building, roughly 10 feet. So picture this room, about another room, about a little bit taller than this room.
Speaker 2:Wow, wow.
Speaker 1:He went up in the air on the trampoline and landed just flat.
Speaker 2:So I guess, did the trampoline even have a net? It had the sides on it. Yeah, it had to to keep the net, but it wasn't anchored to the ground. Right.
Speaker 1:So they're urging everybody listening here. If you have a trampoline, be sure the trampoline is anchored to the ground somehow here.
Speaker 2:If you have a trampoline, be sure the trampoline is anchored to the ground somehow. Well, james fan has been preaching that for years. Yes, I don't trust trampolines and I'm I don't want to ruffle anybody's feathers. I do not think you're a bad mom or dad if you have a trampoline at your house, but there has been so many accidents. Yeah, and bad things happen on trampolines. I cannot believe. 20 feet.
Speaker 1:It lifted a lot that's like a sudden crazy wind burst came in and picked it up, carried it over. There's two cinder block walls right next to the and it went over the walls into the street and it was carrying the trampoline with a boy on it imagine, imagine looking out the window like doing your dishes, and being like be careful, son, it's.
Speaker 2:You know it's windy, it's a windy day today and then she's like scrubbing some pots and pans and just sees her.
Speaker 1:Looks up and says, oh, there's Jake. Hey, Jake, Jake, Jake. Why are you in the air, Jake?
Speaker 2:Jake, you're 20 feet in the air.
Speaker 1:Wow there take it down now yeah, but you're just sitting there watching. And the thing with trampolines that the kids had one when they were little. The closest they came to having problems is when friends come over and you get too many and you get too many on the trampoline, then there's what they call that horse play and you get pushing and shoving you to do it and and then that's when somebody usually gets hurt.
Speaker 2:Tramplines make me so nervous that if my kids are on one it makes me like sick at my stomach.
Speaker 1:Yeah, worrying about what? Yeah, worrying about?
Speaker 2:yeah, because first of all, we were at dance last night and I was talking to the other moms.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And this little girl comes running out and says where's Harlow's mom, where's Harlow's mom. And harlow's mom and I was like, oh no. I said what's wrong? She said she fell and hurt her ankle. And so I, me and the other, like administrator, go running in there and she's like hey, mom, I fell, like like she fell dancing.
Speaker 1:She, she was dancing okay, and she fell, so is she okay she's fine okay she's fine.
Speaker 2:But my point is is my kids are so clumsy that they would never, if anybody's ever, like, hey, come over, you want to jump on the trampoline? No, no, no, we don't. We will come play, yeah, but we will not get on the trampoline. Yeah got. Gotcha 20 feet in the air.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oof, that'd be scary, wow. So if you have one, I would just anchor it down to the ground somehow. Yeah, be safe, it's 828.
Speaker 3:Mornings with Barry and Hall here on Alabama's country giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:Okay, the headline was confusing, I had to read more on this. Okay, the headline was confusing, I had to read more on this. It's very confusing. It said United States issues travel warning for Bahamas over sharks and crime on the rise. I thought, okay, sharks are committing crimes. I'm confused here. It said sharks and crime on the rise. It means like two separate things. There's been an increase in shark attacks and an increase in crime in the Bahamas.
Speaker 2:There's been an increase in shark attacks and an increase in crime in the Bahamas. You know, I've always heard from people that went on cruises that the Bahamas is beautiful and it's fun to go to, unless you get off the resort. And if you get off of the land that you're supposed to be on for that cruise, it is dangerous, it's scary.
Speaker 1:I've been there one time Went on a cruise Did you go outside and you're right. If you walk down the street where everybody is at, you're good. If you walk off the street to like a couple of streets over, you get hustled. Well, you really get hustled on the main street, but they're nice about it. They'll walk up trying to sell you something, something pretty something, and then they'll take it politely and they'll walk off if you say no. But a few streets over you say no.
Speaker 2:Hold a knife to your ear.
Speaker 1:They drag you and feed you to the sharks. I guess that's why that's.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, that's why shark attacks are up.
Speaker 1:So I was confused when I saw the story saying US issues travel warnings for Bahamas over sharks and crime. Yeah, I thought how are sharks committing crimes?
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, yeah well, I mean, they can bite people, but that's really all they need.
Speaker 1:I mean, give me all your money or I'm going to bite your leg off.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's really all, or bite a big chunk of.
Speaker 1:But being serious for a minute if you're planning on going. They say there has been an increase in shark attacks around Nassau and there's been an increase in some of the areas in Nassau where armed robberies, burglaries and assaults have been reported more than ever before.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So I'm telling you, I don't know if I'd go outside of the designated areas I wouldn't Journey crews.
Speaker 1:Wherever they tell you to go, stay. Do what they say.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I wonder why there's an increase in shark attacks don't know maybe do you think there's more people, so it's just more they said there's less people.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's less people so that's why some there's been more they'd say more an increase in crime, less tourists over the past year because of weather issues, damage from the hurricanes. People financially maybe can't afford cruises like they used to, so the less tourists inside the town. So now they're finding other ways to make their money.
Speaker 2:So maybe the sharks are hungrier.
Speaker 1:Could be.
Speaker 2:Because they're not throwing out as much food. I don't know, I have no idea, and they're getting more aggressive.
Speaker 1:Don't know.
Speaker 1:I guess, or maybe the sharks and the hustlers got together and they were like, let's team up wow let's do this together remember there was that movie years ago you get them in the water I'll get them on the land weren't some of the gangs, sharks versus the jets, or whatever, yeah, yeah and they and they walk down the street probably got the shark doing the well their their fins, the sharks. I don't know it's stupid, but be careful If you're going. If people on the cruise ship say you need to stay in this area with your groups, stay with the groups.
Speaker 2:Yeah, stay with the group.
Speaker 1:Don't just wander off and try to be special.
Speaker 2:You're going to get side hustled. Yeah, you are. Maybe shark bitten.
Speaker 3:I don't.
