half the game? Yeah, alittle ro roll. It's cute and it's
Braves gear. So Braves kick offtheir uh homestand ten straight games. So
if you want to see h Yeah, day three, So I got seven
more as the end game host forthe Atlanta Braves. Not only that,
but Saturday morning, my son hadhis championship game in Buford. I coached

(01:23):
for him too, So I wasscreaming, yelling, you know, using
my voice, that it's full capacityall day Saturday. And then Sunday I
woke up and I'm like, maybeI can't talk. Baby, want to
be able to do this. It'sBrittany happy when you can't talk. Oh
man, maybe you shouldn't say anything. She's not. Maybe all that's sad.
Maybe you should just be a listenertoday. Maybe you should just take

(01:45):
it down a little bit. Shegoes. If I'm not talking, she
gets She's always like, what's wrong? Yeah, what's wrong? I just
really can't fill the space. Yeahsure, sure, I don't want to
talk to me. You know,there's a psychological component and this is part
of like interrogation. So if you'reever wanting to either get your significant other
someone else to keep talking about something, or you find yourself in some sort

(02:07):
of interrogation and you don't want tosay too much. The human brain can't
handle seven seconds of silence. Soif you ever watched like an interrogation,
they're like, oh, so that'swhat happened, and then they just stop,
and then the person just panics.It's like, well, I mean,
I mean, come on, wellyou know what I was doing is
and they just keep reeling off information. My wife would be so screwed right.

(02:27):
You can't handle three seconds, right, So you can see the anxiety
building up on them when they're like, oh, that's something's going wrong.
I gotta fill this with words,Kimmy and everything you do in the morning
to keep you smile. On ourbas ninety four point nine, The ball
ninety four point nine, The ball, Moot, Kimmy and otis with you
this morning. I'm Brian seven thirtythis morning. Your first shot this week
at a fifty dollars gifts hard fromHome Depot went in for that grand prize,

(02:50):
a brand new Loco Smart Top griddlegriddle grill. So took a grilling
game up a notch right before them. Boil Day Weekend. We have a
six ten headlines now with Kimmy Garuba, we'll speak of a Memorial Day weekend.
Brian, brace yourself if you aretrying to do any planning, because
a new study by Triple A saysthat this year is going to be worse
than any other year previous, andthat's including pre pandemic times. So they're

(03:15):
saying forty two point three million Americansare planning to travel at least fifty miles.
How do they estimate that? Theysay that every year like this is
going to be the worst year ever. Oh my gosh, Britty, make
according plans accordingly, and then Otisis going to be complaining whenever he gets
back from World Day Weekend that,oh my gosh. Let's be honest,

(03:36):
there's going to be traffic in Atlanta. We just I do I find that
whole prediction absurd. Like they're likethey look at airplane tickets, Well,
airplane tickets are down, we can'tget your bags. Well, they're just
general advisory is saying the worst timeto be on the road is Friday afternoon
from three to say, no,who's going to be the worst person ever

(03:57):
to get in a conversation with theguy who's in charge of the statistics right
like just at dinner parts technical extralogger. That guy's just filled with anxiety
in his whole life. And thisis perfect for that jobless fact. And
if you have parents like I do, that are not super tech savvy,
like I could tell you right now, my mom has never called an uber
before. She has no idea howthey are now giving you the option to

(04:21):
call an uber. It would beone eight three three US uber and apparently
this would work just like any otherthing when you would call and you need
a taxi or something interpersonal communication.It's interesting, it's so weird, right,
and so people are obviously making tonsof jokes about it, but it's
you don't shortcut the system. You'regonna end up having a problem anyway if

(04:43):
you call for an uber. Howmany times you have to get in a
conversation eventually trying to explain to somebodywhere to pick you up exactly, and
they can't look at the app screen. You're like, it's right there.
I have the same map as you. You're not in the same block,
so you can. Okay, youbook an uber on your phone, and
then you're gonna spend the next thirtyminutes trying to figure out how to explain
to him that the little map wherethere should be. Yeahpecially if you're too
old and know how to use theapp. Anyway, everybody, you're gonna

(05:03):
come down by that church right overthere and just take a ride. You
can find me over there next tothe Sitco. There's a big old rock
there. Last unlast mister Johnson hasn'tweed whacked the end of his driveway.
You may not see. That's allold people tell directions. Yeah, there's
a church and some sort of gasstation involved. The headlines with Kimmy Crube

I got a feeling Miss Betty wouldn'thesitate to stab you with a dabber and
kick you out the front door ifyou're calling a fake bingo funny ninety four
point nine. The boll got alittle good news coming up before you in
just a second. Here's rather goodnews. Seven thirty this morning. We
got a home debo gift card foryou for fifty bucks. But that gives

(06:51):
you in to the grand prize thisweek, just before Memorial Day. But
oh wait, everybody, the localgriddle, Grill Time grill. It's this
thing is absolutely incredible. I've nevercooked on a griddle. It makes you
feel like a professional. Reason,it really does, even if you don't
know what you're doing, look likea profession. So that's coming up at
seven thirty this morning. Get into take your grill game up a notch

(07:12):
Memorials Day before Memorial's Day. Youget what I'm saying. Coffee hasn't connected
yet, all right. So youknow, we love our folks that work
in education, custodian's bus drivers,teachers, teaching assistance. This story is
really cool. It's how you cannotgive up on a dream um to just
kind of further yourself and not letthings earlier in your life kind of set
you back. So forty five yearold Elmo di Silva. He's a custodian.

(07:33):
A pause for a sake. Hisname's Elmo. I love that.
Almos a great name. I gaveyou the Elmo voice right now today?
What is hello? Yeah, I'msure you've never heard that one. Sorry,
Elmo. This is a great story, all right. So Indian Greek
Allamentary School. He in Clarkston.He's a custodian in the district and he

(07:54):
wanted to kind of who was eyeingfor the head custodian job. But unfortunately
he never graduated from high school.He when he was growing up, he
had a sibling with the disability.He had other younger siblings, so he
had to quit school at fifteen tostart working to help out around the house
and kind of be a parent.So he was the only one in his
family that didn't actually graduate from highschool. The principal, Stephanie Brian Brown,
told him about the Decab County AdultEducation Program, which a lot of

(08:16):
folks go to get their degrees laterin life. And on Friday graduated from
high school. Finally got his diploma. Yeah, and now in for that
head gasodian job. But I lovethese stories because I think a lot of
people kind they look at it likea badge of shame or because they didn't
graduate high school, whatever the reasonswere. A lot of people have family
reasons where you just can't go toschool every single day, especially when you're

(08:39):
a working age human being. Sogood on Elmo da Silva kind of showing
everybody, and what the principle saidis it's really cool to inspire some of
the kids who are in tougher situationsto realize that they don't have that they
can achieve their dreams of forty five. Yeah, keep bettering themselves, as
well as other adults in the districtwho kind of in the same situation.
They're afraid to apply for jobs becausethey know that once that resume gets raked
over, they're gonna be like,I didn't actually graduate. That's awesome.

(09:01):
I saw another great national story too. It's like a seventy six year old
man I don't have the information frontof you, but he also graduated recently
from high school got his degree.So never too late to them for going
to do it. Never too late. Those programs exist in pretty much every
county, So if you're interested,really look into those things. I hope
you're having a great Monday morning.It's mood. Kimmy and otis here on
George's number one from New Country ninetyfour point nine, The Bull six fifty

(09:22):
five. This morning we start thestruggle bus. Want to hear why you're
struggling this morning. Maybe had toomuch fun this weekend, wild and crazy.
You just woke up this morning.Everything's kind of going against you.
Four oh four seven four one hninety four and nine. Now I want
to say American Ido was a bitof a struggle bus last night, but
taking second our little hometown just gemof a human being. Megan Danielle,
who stopped through the studio last weekin Douglasville, took second place. She's

(09:46):
struggling a little bit this morning aftersecond, not because she lost, just
because of all the hype and theenergy that was in that room. I
mean, Keith Urban performed, JellyRoll was there, Luke Bryan performed,
Landy Wilson. Country Stars were outin full effect, and she got to
perform with her favorite Lauren Dagel aswell. This is when they announced the
top two in the middle of theshow. Is mean Dane. I was

(10:13):
so excited. I was like inbed, but jumping out of bed.
Megan, all right, I don'tcare what the vote said, by a
mile, by a landslide. Shehad the best vocal performances of any of
the three contestants. They're all great. Colin Stowe um Iam who won the
first Hawaiian to win, which isreally cool and and that I mean,
they're all. He's just a ballof happiness that everybody in tears too.

(10:37):
See. He's incredible as well,but he just didn't. No one brought
it as hard as Megan Danielle broughtit. But I look, I could
only vote ten times on texts.I did my part. We had a
little fun with the cameras in herefilming and all that, but unfortunately didn't
end up on the show. Myname is Otis good morn. It's one
of our Kiotis family members. DeniseHello, and I called to say,
I'm was a little bum that theydidn't show y'all on America Model. But

(11:01):
my kids all set up. Theywere like excited to see daddy on American
Idol and where's Daddy? I wasbummed too. I don't know why they
wouldn't have shown it. It hadto be awesome, Yeah, no,
it was good. I mean it, look, it was great. Their
ultimate goal is they're trying to filma bunch of stuff, and you know,
ultimately all the footage they got fromDouglasville was pretty incredible. You know,

(11:22):
all the teachers getting to talk andher cousin getting to give her a
hug and all that concert stuff wasreally cool. So hard to complain because
I thought they did a great job. Yeah, the snoyer race away,
that was all great. Tell himdo better. But I did hear your
words of wisdom. Yeah, myvoice did end up on the show in
this little segment douglas Ville, Georgia. It's today when you walk through that

(11:48):
parade and you see the people screamingher name, realize you deserved this and
you are incredible. Thank you forget So that was a really cool moment.
Yeah, bunch of faces for radiogiving us a complex in here.
We're not pretty. I mean wehave evidence that clearly American IDOL is saying

(12:13):

cutting us out instead of telling usour face that aren't going to work.

was out there town it be wood, tiger wood or something, but I'm
paying for I don't know if Icould come back from this. I've been
in the bed all weekend, nothinglike a Monday morning soreness. And it
takes you a second and be like, oh my god, that's from that.

(16:57):

got you struggling this morning? Um, it's my first day. I have

(18:08):
an age job and they told mean address to go to and so now
you're like, now I'm gonna belate. I have no idea. You
gotta call and look stupid because you'relike, hey, uh I don't think
this is right. Yeah, I'mhaving I'm like, oh right, you
want to look, you want tolook like a studious employee, like I

(18:30):
know what I'm doing. I don't. I'm not going to be like this
all the time, but now youabsolutely have to just look like the bad
day. Yeah, they're like,well, why did we hire this woman?
I think the thing I've learned mostin life is that if you can
make screwing up look funny and alsoyou embrace kind of being an idiot,
set that level of expectation low enoughfor people just laugh at all, like,
oh, okay, I know,ac't stupid, you're sid Then when

(18:56):
you like do something really smart,they're like, oh, wow about it.
You finish that job. Wow,you did it. It's a it's
a motto in life I learned frommy father early. Set the bar really
alone. Yeah, make shirts andyou ever have those no fear shirts?
W have woes that say no expectationsexactly. Look if you do that,

(19:25):
thank you so much. Good luckfinding where you're going though. Ninety four
point nine The Ball Rachel Alexa answersyour questions now with mood killing an ODIs.
It's advice with an attitude. Let'sdo this. We got a Ratchet's
smart speak girl dinged up she's gotan attitude like to ask her your questions.
Leslie and Smyrna asks Alexa, whydo people sing in the car?

(19:45):
They sing in their car because thatis what helps them cope with the stress
of traffic and nobody can hear them. I encourage singing in all confined places
that allow you the freedom to beltout those high notes judgment free. True.
That being said, be aware ifyou you are in an elevator,
the security guards are probably filming you. Do you got to make a trigger
on that one. That might bepart of the reason why my voice is

(20:07):
gone because I've belt in the carlike it's a free concert for anybody with
me. Or if you're in apublic bathroom by yourself and then somebody else
walks in, Oh that's rough.Yeah yeah. But elevator guards, if
you ever, I mean, theyjust sit there and they film you off
there. So if you think you'relike dancing and stuff like you're doing to
pump up the jam and the elevator, they're seeing it. And Rachel and
Noonan asks Alexa, how do Iget in summer shape? The easiest way

(20:30):
to get in summer shape is tostop hanging out with people that are in
better shape than you. Let's behonest. Super in shape people aren't fun
to hang out with anyway. Nope, they are always talking about workouts and
low carb diets. Embrace being outof shape and happy. I've ever found
out that you're a moderately in shapefriend? Yes, recently? If you
were like, oh no, Ihang on with you and I don't feel

(20:51):
bad about myself? Well what what? Like? She said, I've been
the friend recently and I try tocut myself off doing it because I get
so mad. I'm like, whenwe go to dinner with friends, I'm
like, yeah, I've got toget the oh because I'm on a diet
and everybody else is getting fries andyou're getting through. Can I just look?
Can I get water as a saladdressing? Please? And Connor and

(21:15):
Chamblee asks Alexa, how come Ican never get into my email? Adds?
Are you can't get into your emailbecause your company makes you change the
password every ninety days and you can'tremember the new one. Yeah. It's
always funny to me that certain companiestake their cybersecurity so serious. Let's make
sure Janie that the front desk changesfor password. We don't want Russian spies

(21:36):
getting ahold of when we have leftoverpizza in the break room, right,
I mean, it is a warfor that high tech security. Not only
can I not remember my password thesedays, but I also got to pass
a two factor Go run to chasemy phone down in five seconds. If
you'll ever have to get a newphone after that two factor nonsense, just
say goodbye to everything you've ever loggedinto. You'll have the two factor to

(21:57):
get into. The two factor.Yeah, just be better off to just
be a whole new employee. Yeahyeah, get a new job.
