(00:00):
Ninety four point nine the ball onthe show today seven thirty, You're shot
at a fifty dollars Home Depot giftcard and in for that grand prize,
the local cooker Grittletop Grill. It'sgoing to take your game up a notch.
Perfect for a holiday weekend which you'reheaded into. I got a special
guest on the show, Madeline Montgomeryfrom Atlanta News. First, we need
to hear about this Memorial Day travelbecause I saw on Twitter that you're covering

(00:23):
it extensively and we're supposed to havea record setting year. Yes, it
is going to be bananas, andI think a lot of people are going
to be interested in this because apparentlya lot of people are traveling. Triple
A saying forty three million people aregoing fifty miles or more from home,
which I know in Atlanta. Youknow that me and theater are going driving
down Gulf Shores, or people areflying somewhere. Fancy. You're exciting.

(00:48):
And Hartsville Jackson always the busiest airportin the world, but it is set
to be the busiest airport in thecountry. They say two million people are
going to be going through this weekend. It's going to be nice, you
say forty three million people as thestat They didn't call me. How do
they know? How do they knowthat many people are going to move?
I always wonder that. I whoare they consulting? I do wonder that,

(01:11):
But you know, judging Atlanta traffic, I'm gonna agree with them that
it is going to be a lotof people. Steve, how they want
to say this year forty three million? Perfect? We're going? Why has
my neighbor Bob he's going? Henever goes anywhere? Man. Yeah,
I took a polem. I calledto Sack and that's what they all said.
Everyone's going. So while you wereat Hartsfield, got a lot of
kids. So are they aware ofthat? Because sometimes you show up at

(01:34):
Hartsfield Jackson and they have like twosecurity lights open, and you're like,
did y'all not like look at theflights? Did you not know? They're
saying, and the mayor came outand everything. They're saying that they are
bulking up Bosland down for the weekend. So hopefully that is the case.
But apparently, like the plane trainwas down on Monday and so people were
having to walk. If you've neverseen people trying to run from terminal to

(01:57):
terminal underneath next to the plane train. It is the saddest, slash funniest
thing you'll ever see because people aren'tprepared. They're sprint no right, They've
got bags all over and rolling wheels, and well I've done that just as
a workout, like a really longlayover. I'm like, I guess I'll
just take a stroll. We'll notsprint. Pack your patients. If you're
driving flying, you're going to runinto a lot of people, or sometimes

(02:21):
you look at the traffic and you'relike, you know what, not worth
it? Yeah, And I'm goingto be fighting the crowd because I'm flying
out tomorrow with everyone else because Iam the silly fool who books the flight.
We'll pray for you, We'll prayfor you. Thank you, made,
thank you, thanks for listening tomove. Kimmy and otis in the
morning. I love your guys showingeasier, Stacy, You're amazing. Thank

(02:42):
you. Hey, let's go ninetyfour point nine the Ball. Hope you're
having a great Friday morning. It'smoved. Kimmy and otis here on George's
number one for New Country ninety fourpoint nine The ball mark this down June
eleventh, two to four Cherokee AquaticsCenter. That is our dad bought contest
the second annual Morgan Walling tickets onthe line. But we need your dad
bought pictures at the Bull dot Com. Last year's winner was that the braves

(03:02):
Gate with his big beard, andhe said, he said, I lost
some weight this year, but Ithink I'm gonna try again. The beard
Eric like Eric the red you justlook like a Viking. He could double
it up. Pictures one at ninetyfour the Bull Instagram story. Go upload
those right now. Kids. Also, if you want to get those Morgan
wall tickets, your dad's been embarrassingyou for years. Why don't you put

(03:23):
that dad Bob to good work.Great idea, Brian, you get the
sixth head headlines now with Kimmikarubo.I'm gonna tell you how Brian Moot is
like able to tell the future injust a minute. But sister Cleo,
you know Memorial Day weekend's going tobe happening. And this also means it's
the start of grilling season, whichwe do have a grill that we're going
to be giving away, say fiftybucks to home depot at seven thirty and

(03:43):
a Loco griddle top grill smart temp. Every temperature is exactly what you said
it out all over the griddle.It's huge. I didn't realize big their
massive. They look amazing. Um, but it looks like Americans eat twenty
billion hot dogs a year at Asurvey found that forty percent of us are
too scared to find out what's inthem. And I totally fit into that.
I don't want to know it's inthe hot dog, but I do

(04:05):
you enjoy it? Count my consumptionat the Braves game. And according to
the National hot Dog and Sausage Council, which I didn't know that existed either,
Atlanta does make it into the topten of the residents consuming. What
do you got to be to qualifyas a council? Like three dudes?
Right, I'm not can't be two? Two's a couple, Three's a council.

(04:30):
I like that. I think it'sgood. So Brian, the other
day, we've got a phone calland was talking about tractor trailers in the
morning during the morning commute. Ifyou're someone who is pulling a trailer and
you have your caution lights on,you need to wait until nine o'clock on
people at work, or pull overon the side of the road and let
the thirty cars behind you go.Yes, of all the other drivers.

(04:56):
Yeah, don't just sit in theleft wing forever. Also to tack on
that, if you're a company thatmoves those a modular home and you have
to take up three lanes of afreeway, you don't get to do it
in the middle of the day.You do it in the middle of the
night when no one's around. There'snothing to make when they're taking up two
lanes because of the width, andyou're like, ah, I want to
hit that house. I'm gonna go. I gotta go around your house now
and bad enough. This literally happenedyesterday morning. Brian I forty five in

(05:24):
North Carolina, in Charlotte, therewas a mobile home. They were transferring
a tractor trailer with a mobile homeon it. That crash that shut down
the highway for the entire day becausethe crash happened around like ten thirty in
the morning and it didn't reopen untilfour pm. Good Lord, you predicted
this. I just it makes meso crazy when I see that, because

(05:46):
I look, I want you tohave your house you buy a house,
you got property, put it onthere. But when they do it in
the middle of the day, andthey are like flags sticking off and like
you know, wide, wide loadthings. You should see the Zillo for
it. Very scenic views of five. Finally something's affordable here. Yeah,
that's the headlines with Kimmy Karuba.Every day it six, ten and eight

dollar ninety seven fifty dollar pair ofpants. You're not a thrifter. There
is no amount of money that willor washing that will make me forget that

(07:16):
what people did in those you're thinkingof it's as negative. What if you

moments where you found out something youfeel like a real idiot, Like I
didn't know that hazel nut was athing. I didn't know they were actual
nuts. Yeah, the flavor mydad maybe had the best one. It's

(09:54):
a pop culture reference that I assumedevery person in the entire world. How
was your father sixty two? We'regonna get to that cultural reference here at
six fifty five, but four orfour seven four one n' that iHeart talk
back. What is your funniest Iwas today years old moment. This one
is from Leah and Conyers. Iwas thirty four a couple of years ago

(10:16):
when I learned for the first timethat Alaska actually isn't down by Hawaii and
Mexico any map I had ever seen. That's where it always was. And
when I found it out for thefirst time, my teenage kids and my
husband looked at me like I wascompletely insane. Yeah. I always thought
like, how could people say thereis no God when you have two places

(10:39):
so close to each other? Wastotally different climate. I love that right
now thing like, how think aboutthat? Our last road trip, I
kid you not. My wife andI had this full discussion. It's on
my TikTok and she's like, butlook, it's right there on the map.
I said, they put it therebecause they unfitted at the time.
It's in a school way, it'snot next it's up by the north pole.

(11:03):
That's why they had to put itout there, like hovering by Hawaii.
And you know what, we everyonce in a while, you gotta
remind you that you're not the onlyone. If you're someone right now who
goes I thought that too. Youknow what safe place. It's a safe
place to call in four or fourseven four one ninety four nine and tell
us about that I Was Today yearsold moment that you look at and just
shake your head because you're like,why didn't I know that move? Kimmy

Hold that little microphone down on thefree iHeart app. We're gonna play him

(11:46):
throughout the show on Monday. Whatis your I Was today years old moment?
A moment where you felt like adummy because you just realized something like
when it comes to the song Mayberryby Rascal Flats, I thought they were
saying, I'm miss Mayberry like acharacter like Missus. I thought they were
saying they miss miss Mayberry. Theymissed miss favorite. Yeah, like a

(12:07):
teacher, right, a wild teacherthat you had, Kimmy, your dad
had a great one. My momwas telling my dad how she had an
issue at the grocery store and heasked her, why didn't you just ask
for a manager? And my momsays, well, I didn't want to
be a Karen. And my dad'sjust looking at her, so like what,
like, what do you mean?She's like, how do you not
know what a Karen is? Andthen he got super defensive, like,

(12:31):
don't say that. I don't knowthese different things. I have no idea
what he thought it was. Wheneverhe heard. He just said that he
didn't understand why people were being meanto Karen. Your dad was just sad.
Why has everyone given Karen so muchcrap? Very nice Karen? It
worked. I don't know what Ido feel bad for the Karen's. Man,

(12:52):
I know a lot of really niceKaren's, And man, that moment
from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty twojust ripped on Twitter. There was one
last night coming out of the batterythat was lighting this police officer up for
no reason, all because he didn'twant her to walk into traffic. Right,
Oh, I'm sorry for protecting you. What's your problem? What are
you gonna do? Shoot me?Are you gonna shoot me? Oh my
god, yeah that's what she wassaying. Nobody's like, no taser though

nine. Hit doesn't that? iHearttalk back? What was your today years
old moment? Thing you just allof a sudden realized, Oh my god,
I feel like a du fist.I did not know what that was?
Ninety four point nine the ball.We are commercial free right now,
so don't go anywhere. Smoot,Kimmy and otis What is your today years

(13:39):
old moment? We have them allthe time where you just figured something out
and you're like, oh, thatmakes a lot of sense. I've been
doing this all wrong forever. Fouror four seven four one ninety four nine.
Turned in that little emoji with theexploding head. Ye mind blown.
I'm otis good morning Ashley and Gainesvillecalling into UM tell you guys about my
today years old when I yeah,it's a safe place, you go ahead

(14:03):
and okay, So I'm twenty eightyears old, and I just just go,
like, just made this epiphany thisyear that you always hear people saying,
oh, I'm turning into a pumpkin, like when you get tired at
night. Right, Yeah, WellI just made the connection that people say
that, like in reference to likethe Cinderella movie when when everything turns into

(14:26):
a pumpkin. Yeah, what didyou think? It was? Just?
I don't know. I think itwas like some Southern thing that someone made
up that didn't mean anything. Yeah, some grandless at at one time,
and then it's been repeated since then. I do think that if you grow
up in the South, you justget used to people just like speaking in
complete gibberish like you, hey man, you don't if the squirrels don't crow

(14:48):
and the and the chickens don't fly, And you'd be like, what does
that mean? Yeah? And Ijust sit this saying into that category.
So it's just like I spent myentire high school prompt standing outside with one
slipper because somebody told me that's howI found my prince charming, like the

(15:09):
turning into a public that's funny.Don't stay out until the cows come home,
all right? Ninety four point nineThe Bull What was your today years
old moment? Four oh four sevenfour one ninety four nine hit It's not
iHeart talk back on the Free IHeeart app. It's something where you had
no idea. We've gotten calls aboutpeople who've just found out that Alaska was

(15:30):
not an island next to Hawaiian justfound that out because the map always has
it right next to it. Ihad a nostalgic one last night. It's
not like I'd learned something, butmy wife wore my Braves jersey to the
game, and I was like,this is the first time you've ever worn
my jersey. I'd like a nostalgiclike high school moment. Were my letterman
jacket? I still have it,hey, my football home and all my
stuff. She crushed it though,when she goes, yeah, this guy

(15:52):
came up and goes, what's anotis Christine and cedared Tad sam Hawn's hometown.
What is it you were today yearsold when you found out what um?
I actually just recently learned that adandelion was the little yellow flower,
and it also blowed out to bethat little hooki flower. Oh they're they're
the same thing. Yeah, theone that you blow. Yeah, yeah,

(16:15):
oh yeah, I guess I neverreally thought about any I mean,
they do look very different. Inever knew that until recently. Well did
you grow up poor? No?Okay, I'm otis I did. And
that's all we had as flowers,wishing wishing you're situation. We wouldn't pick
the dandelions out of the yard andtheirs. But that's what I'm saying.

(16:37):
You get the dandelions and you canyou can, like with your thumb,
flick the head off them, likethe flower part. You like. Shoot,
yeah, when you're a kid,you don't realize that that's then going
and making all these weeds and people'slawns. So you're really being like a
little terrible. My mom loved thebouquet of weeds that I get. That's
sweet ferns and nettles. But nothingworse than when you, instead of blowing,

(17:00):
you put it up to your mouthand go appreciate you. Calling Christie,
I learned in my twenties at picklesand cucumbers were the same thing,
as I was like, I hatepickles, and moms like, those are
cucumbers, and I lost to heron Google. That's even worse. You're
like, no, I'm not.I'm not looking up ninety four point nine

(17:21):
in the bowl today. Years old, when I learned I'm otis hoping Taylor's
Ville. Are you gonna openly admitsomething you just learned? Yes, Okay,
safe place, go ahead. Igot a surprise text that we have
a beach trip plan and they saidthat we were going to Mexico Beach.
So I went home and I toldmy mom. I was like, We're
going to Mexico. It was likewhat And then finally afterwards they were like,

(17:48):
honey, it's in Florida. Yeah, yeah, it's on the coast.
OK. That's not fair though,because he makes sense why you would
think that, Yes, exactly whatKimmy's saying. It's the whole time you're
saying that. She's like, whereis Yeah? It is Mexico, isn't
it. That's what I thought?I hope. A few years ago,
my brother wanted to do a comedyshow with me, and I'm like,

(18:11):
yeah, we're gonna play Panama Cityand he goes, Damn, I gotta
get my passport and I'm like,no, no, annabout dude, We're
not going to Central America. Isay lay into it. Got show up
with moroccas and a sombrero. Ohyeah, but no, that's what I'm
doing. Tell him to pick youup at the airport. I'll meet you

(18:33):
guys there the International terminal ninety fourpoint nine. The ball. Rachel Alexa
answers your questions now with mood killianODIs. It's advice with an attitude.
Let's do this. I know everybody'sgot a smart speaker. We got a
special one. She's all dinged up, covered in barbecue sauce. We found
her at the North Georgia State Fair. Our Rachel Alexa's got a little bit
of attitude. We'd like to askher your questions from Shannon in Gainesville.

(18:56):
Alexa, how come I'm not lookingforward to vacations. This is the predicament
that faces you when it comes tovacations. You know that it will be
fun while you are there, butyou always have real life responsibilities lingering for
you when you get back. Forsome reason, it never fails that when
you get back, your work lifeand personal life will be a dumpster fire.

(19:17):
And if you have kids, theywill all act like maniacs. You
will always feel like you need avacation to recover from your vacation. Right,
so much anxiety involved in vacations.Tuesday morning email dump nah the inbox
overload on Monday. Don't do it. And Robin Fayetteville asks Alexa, how
come I'm so bad at keyboarding?You are bad at keyboarding because the keyboards

(19:41):
on things are getting smaller and youare getting older. Ha ha ha ha.
Sorry, that is how technology works. They don't care about the old
people. They are making it forthe cool young people. Looks like it's
time to go back to a flipphone, Grandpa. That's sad when you
start just not being able to typeon an iPhone anymore because your thumbs are
too big. It is sad.Remember the old sidecakes you had so much

(20:03):
space. Yeah, yeah, yousound like a like a grandma. I
know idea. I am one fromKeith in Rockmart. What's the best a
barbecue food? The best food forthe barbecue is the thing with the most
calories. People need to attack abarbecue with the same mindset that they would
for setting the high score on avideo game. You want to set the
number of calories at a point thatnobody will ever beat. Also, it's

(20:26):
time to ban kale from the party. Don't be that person. Yeah,
not at a barbecue. They'll besomething this weekend, the egregious salad bringers
to the to the barbecue. Theyshould I just had this premonition. They
should have, you know, thespeed uh signs that give you your speed
when you yeah, you know,you try to get the high score on
it every time. You don't tryto get the high score. That's not

(20:48):
supposed to do I do. Itry to do it like running. When
you walk by with your plate,it should calculate your calories as you buy.
That would be shot with a littleradar gun and it tells you that
you've got eight thousand collars. Yeah, potato salad doing the heavy lifting.
Now, I just have this imagein my mind of Brian training for the
Hotly and a half marathon, runningpasty speed seven miles an hour. What maybe
