Speaker 1 (04:34):
It's three things you need to know with the.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Elem All lanes of two eighty at pump House Road
are now I'll open after being closed for the weekend
for construction. There are so many people that are so
happy right now. There will be future weekend closures to
finish the project, but as of right now you can
drive on to eighty with your normal morning traffic and
no extra traffic. Do you see Brittany was hanging out
(04:58):
with Kim Kardashian over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Yes, Kim, Chloe and Brittany all hanging out together.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yes, they were all over social media having a pajama party.
It's either for this is my thought. It's either for
because Kim Kardashian on Skims, which is a shapewear brand.
It's either because Brittany is doing something for Skims for
Kim or Kim's planning on being Britney's lawyer if she
can ever pass the bar exam. If one of the two,
(05:26):
we'll see what happens. We may be getting a La
Boo Boo movie. A La Boo Boo movie, you know,
the little scary toy that all the kids love right now,
that's going crazy, that's popular. Sony Pictures just secured the
rights to develop a feature film based on La Booboo,
those creepy little dolls. They want to create a movie
and then possibly a franchise based on based on La
(05:49):
Boo Boo exactly. It was just signed this week, so
we don't know who the producer or a filmmaker is yet,
but as we find out more so will you and
your kids will probably be going crazy for it. Unless
it's a horror movie. Probably. That's three things you need
to know more At the Alabama Show dot com, you.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Were listening to the Alabama Show.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Erica, good morning. What's your issue for ask Alabama? Well,
my dad's a lawyer and she's pushing me to go
to law school ever since I was like five years
old and he's still not stopping with it. Oh my god,
what was he telling you? As a five year old'll
be a lawyer?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Like how he Yeah, so.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
In middle school he actually dropped the el sat on
my lap and study it. What kind of law? I
don't want to know what the law farm is or anything,
but what type of law does your dad practice?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Well he's even big law. Okay, so he's pretty intense.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
And he's like very into like precede and all that.
But he wants it to be generational and he wants me.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
To do it.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I was just like he did.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
So it's very much prizing.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Ask him if he's same Kim Kardashian, she has filled
the bar exam like five times already. Yeah, but he
told me that I'm smarter than her, so I can do.
If you don't want to be in law, what do
you actually want to do? Honestly? Like I love the Greeks,
so like I'd rather.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
Do something that's more science face, I'd rather.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Be a professor, lead or something.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
So that's a good one. Like I thought you were
going to say you wanted to be an Instagram influencer.
I think scientist is a really great profession.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Thank you, But he clearly doesn't see the value in
it right now, So that's interesting.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
How is that causing fights?
Speaker 6 (07:33):
Like?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
What are the conversations like at home?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Now?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Well, he says, like, AI's good to go over scientif's
pointless to be fair? Is going to take over law?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I mean you can just make the same argument either way.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I know, But he said, like, you know, we'll always
want human representation. And you've told him you don't want
to be a lawyer. But has he given you any
ultimatums or anything or taken anything away from you? He says, like,
you know, I he will not support me with list
and I'll have to pay my own tuition for grad
school if it's not for law. Are you kidding me? No,
(08:06):
I'm not. What are you gonna do? I think I
have some doubt, like I have to start over and
make the life for my own. I this is like
a Disney Princess movie starting current style. I love this. Look,
let's see if we can get some advice for you.
I say, follow your heart and do what you want
to do. Because your dad, if he loves you, he
shouldn't start giving you ultimatums and forcing you to do
(08:28):
what he wants you to do. But I guarantee you
you are not the only person listening to the show
that has a parent like this for whatever the profession is.
So call in eight three three five oh one. Bama
is the number if your parents have done this to you.
That's eight three three five oh one two two six two.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
If you're listening to the Alabama Show on demand.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Katie, good morning. Do you have good news?
Speaker 6 (08:51):
No?
Speaker 7 (08:51):
I was actually calling in about the parents take it
over for the you know, yeah, they wouldn't take their college.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Has this happened to you?
Speaker 7 (08:59):
No, I'm that parent.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Oh what are you trying to make your kid do? Well?
Speaker 7 (09:04):
In my defense, I had a very good reason. Okay,
when my son left seventeen, he was going into the
Marine Corps. He wanted to, and the only way he
could go at seventeen was if I signed for him. Okay, well,
the only way I signed for him is if he
agreed to do any other thing other than infantry.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Oh okay, okay, So you were looking out for his safety.
I get that. So what did he what's he do
with I found.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
The day I found out, the day that he left
for basic training, he signed up for infantry.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Oh no, so he didn't even do what you said.
Speaker 7 (09:35):
He didn't but he's happy, and I've gotten a closer
relationship with the lords. If I pray a lot more.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Absolutely I believe it. Well, I love that story, and
that is totally understandable right now. Oh my goodness. Well,
you know I love you for being a military mom.
Thank you for sharing that story, and also thank your
son for his service for us.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
Absolutely, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
We're listening to the The Alabama Show on demand.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Have your parents ever tried to force you to do
a job you didn't want to do? Me, mom, my
grandmother was really mad when I told her I wanted
to do radio. She wanted me to be a doctor.
Could you imagine me being your doctor? I wouldn't. I
would be like that. I'm not risking it. Eight three
three five I one and Bama is the number. Because
Erica's dad wants her to be a lawyer. You can
also comment on Facebook. April had a good idea. She said,
(10:25):
get scholarships and loans. But also Marie said, go to
law school so your dad still pays for it, but
also get a double major. You know how hard is
to do a double major.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
I know that's so much work, especially as a physicist
and a lawyer.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I know Erica's dad told her if she did not
go to school to be a lawyer, he would not
pay for her school, but he would if she want
to be a lawyer. Do you have parents like this?
Call the show eight three three five oh one. Bama
is the number.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
It's what the hell headlines?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
What the hell are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (10:59):
On the show?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
A new app lets you talk to deceased loved ones.
I don't like that. It's so weird. It's an AI startup.
They just released an app that lets you communicate with
your loved ones after they pass away. They claim that
three minutes a video of like your loved One is
enough for them to build a realistic avatar that you
(11:24):
can communicate with forever. How does that? What? Your facetiming
and avatar like? It's an all.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
It's three things you need to know.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
You show.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
I feel like free music. Come hang out with us today,
because what is it? It's to just show up? Show Yes,
Max McNown haven Madison. That's going to be at noon
today at work. Play. So if you want to take
a little extra time on your lunch break see some
free music. I will get there a little bit early.
That's workplay today at noon. Here's the best seat on
(11:58):
a plane to overcome your fear of flying. Are you
a scared flyer?
Speaker 5 (12:02):
No?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I like flying? Okay, I used to get nervous too.
A frequent flyer just shared this tip to help get
rid of anxiety. She said, get a seat over the
wing towards the back end of the plane, because statistically
this area has a high survival rate in the unlikely
event of a crash. Plus, the seat over the wing
is also where you don't feel as much turbulent. You'll
(12:23):
feel it less so over the wing. Ooh, okay, I
like the wing. That's where you want to go. Here's
how much to tip for the holidays, according to care
dot Com. Okay, let's hear this. They say who you
tip also depends on your relationship with them and budget.
I'm gonna give you the profession and you tell me
how much you would tip, and then I'm going to
tell you how much you're supposed to tip hairdresser, uh
(12:45):
twenty percent for the holidays. For the holidays, twenty five
percent up to the cost of one session or a gift.
If you tip well the rest of the year, It
says you need to how much do you tip your handyman,
I'm the handyman. Twenty five to fifty dollars for the holidays.
A dog walker or pet sitter, I wouldn't fifty to
(13:09):
two hundred dollars. So you know you've met my dogs.
They need a two hundred dollar tip for my dogs.
My dogs are wild. At a babysitter, how much would
you tip a babysitter? Those deserve more of this. My
children one hundred bucks one day or evenings pay for
regular sitters, plus a small gift from the kids. Now
(13:30):
this is for the holidays, not year round. For the
holidays because they needed the tip a little extra. It
is Christmas time. They should have some extra money. And
that's three things you need to know more at the
Alabama Show dot com.

Every time buys them heat it up Pumpkin gives.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Them each a pumpkin loaf instead of a pop cup.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
He buys them pumpkin loafs and has them heat it
up because pumpkin is good for animals. And sure enough,
he pulled his car around and there was a second
German shepherd riding shotgun sitting in the front seat.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Just chilling. And I was like, that is the coolest
thing in the world. I thought it was cool. So
if anybody knows that guy, I tell him that Alabama,

one that my neighbor does. Okay, he does it for
two of his birds, and it's both birds that I
got him. I gave my neighbor baby turkey chicks this
summer and it's a full grown turkey. One survived, and
I gave him a rooster. They have to ride from
(19:19):
my neighbor's house on the golf cart down to the
coop at night, and then he has to go pick
them up and drive them back up to the house
on the golf cart. They literally ride with them on
a golf cart. A chicken and a turkey. Does see
you'll pick them up and put them on the golf cart. Yes,
and they don't jump out, No, they literally ride. That's
(19:41):
that's kind of sick. I think it's funny.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
That they're birded or they're winged animals and they're.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Taking a ride. They ride on the golf cart. My
neighbor has to pick them up and give them a
ride every morning and every afternoon. Call the show. What's

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Elem All lanes of two eighty at pump House Road
are now I'll open after being closed for the weekend
for construction. There are so many people that are so
happy right now. There will be future weekend closures to
finish the project, but as of right now you can
drive on to eighty with your normal morning traffic and
no extra traffic. Do you see Brittany was hanging out
(04:58):
with Kim Kardashian over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Yes, Kim, Chloe and Brittany all hanging out together.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yes, they were all over social media having a pajama party.
It's either for this is my thought. It's either for
because Kim Kardashian on Skims, which is a shapewear brand.
It's either because Brittany is doing something for Skims for
Kim or Kim's planning on being Britney's lawyer if she
can ever pass the bar exam. If one of the two,
(05:26):
we'll see what happens. We may be getting a La
Boo Boo movie. A La Boo Boo movie, you know,
the little scary toy that all the kids love right now,
that's going crazy, that's popular. Sony Pictures just secured the
rights to develop a feature film based on La Booboo,
those creepy little dolls. They want to create a movie
and then possibly a franchise based on based on La
(05:49):
Boo Boo exactly. It was just signed this week, so
we don't know who the producer or a filmmaker is yet,
but as we find out more so will you and
your kids will probably be going crazy for it. Unless
it's a horror movie. Probably. That's three things you need
to know more At the Alabama Show dot com, you.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Were listening to the Alabama Show.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Erica, good morning. What's your issue for ask Alabama? Well,
my dad's a lawyer and she's pushing me to go
to law school ever since I was like five years
old and he's still not stopping with it. Oh my god,
what was he telling you? As a five year old'll
be a lawyer?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Like how he Yeah, so.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
In middle school he actually dropped the el sat on
my lap and study it. What kind of law? I
don't want to know what the law farm is or anything,
but what type of law does your dad practice?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Well he's even big law. Okay, so he's pretty intense.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
And he's like very into like precede and all that.
But he wants it to be generational and he wants me.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
To do it.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I was just like he did.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
So it's very much prizing.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Ask him if he's same Kim Kardashian, she has filled
the bar exam like five times already. Yeah, but he
told me that I'm smarter than her, so I can do.
If you don't want to be in law, what do
you actually want to do? Honestly? Like I love the Greeks,
so like I'd rather.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
Do something that's more science face, I'd rather.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Be a professor, lead or something.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
So that's a good one. Like I thought you were
going to say you wanted to be an Instagram influencer.
I think scientist is a really great profession.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Thank you, But he clearly doesn't see the value in
it right now, So that's interesting.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
How is that causing fights?
Speaker 6 (07:33):
Like?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
What are the conversations like at home?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Now?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Well, he says, like, AI's good to go over scientif's
pointless to be fair? Is going to take over law?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I mean you can just make the same argument either way.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I know, But he said, like, you know, we'll always
want human representation. And you've told him you don't want
to be a lawyer. But has he given you any
ultimatums or anything or taken anything away from you? He says, like,
you know, I he will not support me with list
and I'll have to pay my own tuition for grad
school if it's not for law. Are you kidding me? No,
(08:06):
I'm not. What are you gonna do? I think I
have some doubt, like I have to start over and
make the life for my own. I this is like
a Disney Princess movie starting current style. I love this. Look,
let's see if we can get some advice for you.
I say, follow your heart and do what you want
to do. Because your dad, if he loves you, he
shouldn't start giving you ultimatums and forcing you to do
(08:28):
what he wants you to do. But I guarantee you
you are not the only person listening to the show
that has a parent like this for whatever the profession is.
So call in eight three three five oh one. Bama
is the number if your parents have done this to you.
That's eight three three five oh one two two six two.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
If you're listening to the Alabama Show on demand.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Katie, good morning. Do you have good news?
Speaker 6 (08:51):
No?
Speaker 7 (08:51):
I was actually calling in about the parents take it
over for the you know, yeah, they wouldn't take their college.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Has this happened to you?
Speaker 7 (08:59):
No, I'm that parent.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Oh what are you trying to make your kid do? Well?
Speaker 7 (09:04):
In my defense, I had a very good reason. Okay,
when my son left seventeen, he was going into the
Marine Corps. He wanted to, and the only way he
could go at seventeen was if I signed for him. Okay, well,
the only way I signed for him is if he
agreed to do any other thing other than infantry.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Oh okay, okay, So you were looking out for his safety.
I get that. So what did he what's he do
with I found.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
The day I found out, the day that he left
for basic training, he signed up for infantry.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Oh no, so he didn't even do what you said.
Speaker 7 (09:35):
He didn't but he's happy, and I've gotten a closer
relationship with the lords. If I pray a lot more.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Absolutely I believe it. Well, I love that story, and
that is totally understandable right now. Oh my goodness. Well,
you know I love you for being a military mom.
Thank you for sharing that story, and also thank your
son for his service for us.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
Absolutely, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
We're listening to the The Alabama Show on demand.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Have your parents ever tried to force you to do
a job you didn't want to do? Me, mom, my
grandmother was really mad when I told her I wanted
to do radio. She wanted me to be a doctor.
Could you imagine me being your doctor? I wouldn't. I
would be like that. I'm not risking it. Eight three
three five I one and Bama is the number. Because
Erica's dad wants her to be a lawyer. You can
also comment on Facebook. April had a good idea. She said,
(10:25):
get scholarships and loans. But also Marie said, go to
law school so your dad still pays for it, but
also get a double major. You know how hard is
to do a double major.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
I know that's so much work, especially as a physicist
and a lawyer.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I know Erica's dad told her if she did not
go to school to be a lawyer, he would not
pay for her school, but he would if she want
to be a lawyer. Do you have parents like this?
Call the show eight three three five oh one. Bama
is the number.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
It's what the hell headlines?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
What the hell are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (10:59):
On the show?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
A new app lets you talk to deceased loved ones.
I don't like that. It's so weird. It's an AI startup.
They just released an app that lets you communicate with
your loved ones after they pass away. They claim that
three minutes a video of like your loved One is
enough for them to build a realistic avatar that you
(11:24):
can communicate with forever. How does that? What? Your facetiming
and avatar like? It's an all.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
It's three things you need to know.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
You show.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
I feel like free music. Come hang out with us today,
because what is it? It's to just show up? Show Yes,
Max McNown haven Madison. That's going to be at noon
today at work. Play. So if you want to take
a little extra time on your lunch break see some
free music. I will get there a little bit early.
That's workplay today at noon. Here's the best seat on
(11:58):
a plane to overcome your fear of flying. Are you
a scared flyer?
Speaker 5 (12:02):
No?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I like flying? Okay, I used to get nervous too.
A frequent flyer just shared this tip to help get
rid of anxiety. She said, get a seat over the
wing towards the back end of the plane, because statistically
this area has a high survival rate in the unlikely
event of a crash. Plus, the seat over the wing
is also where you don't feel as much turbulent. You'll
(12:23):
feel it less so over the wing. Ooh, okay, I
like the wing. That's where you want to go. Here's
how much to tip for the holidays, according to care
dot Com. Okay, let's hear this. They say who you
tip also depends on your relationship with them and budget.
I'm gonna give you the profession and you tell me
how much you would tip, and then I'm going to
tell you how much you're supposed to tip hairdresser, uh
(12:45):
twenty percent for the holidays. For the holidays, twenty five
percent up to the cost of one session or a gift.
If you tip well the rest of the year, It
says you need to how much do you tip your handyman,
I'm the handyman. Twenty five to fifty dollars for the holidays.
A dog walker or pet sitter, I wouldn't fifty to
(13:09):
two hundred dollars. So you know you've met my dogs.
They need a two hundred dollar tip for my dogs.
My dogs are wild. At a babysitter, how much would
you tip a babysitter? Those deserve more of this. My
children one hundred bucks one day or evenings pay for
regular sitters, plus a small gift from the kids. Now
(13:30):
this is for the holidays, not year round. For the
holidays because they needed the tip a little extra. It
is Christmas time. They should have some extra money. And
that's three things you need to know more at the
Alabama Show dot com.

thank you for listening to the Alabama Show. I'm Alabama

So I was on the Starbucks line waiting to get
my coffee. Right as per usual, there is a car
in front of me. It was a guy and his dog,
and his dog was hanging out the window. You know me,
(15:56):
I'm the animal lover of the show. As a German shepherd,
I have a soft spot for German shepherds. Yeah, so
I'm in my car like making faces at the dog, going.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
You get on my nerves. Sometimes I don't care. Going
get on my nerves too. So anyway, he pulls up,
gets his drink, gets his stuff, and leaves. And I
go to Starbucks every day. So the girls know me
and I pull up and they're like, oh, hey, how's
it going. I was like, that dog was so cool.
I'm just looking at the dog in the car in
front of me, and the girl goes. That guy comes
(16:29):
in all the time with both of his German shepherds
and buys them heat it up pumpkin bread.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Every time buys them heat it up Pumpkin gives.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Them each a pumpkin loaf instead of a pop cup.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
He buys them pumpkin loafs and has them heat it
up because pumpkin is good for animals. And sure enough,
he pulled his car around and there was a second
German shepherd riding shotgun sitting in the front seat.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Just chilling. And I was like, that is the coolest
thing in the world. I thought it was cool. So
if anybody knows that guy, I tell him that Alabama,
the girl from the Alabama Show. Thanks, he is awesome.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Well, you think is awesome and what I think is
awesome are two different things.

one that my neighbor does. Okay, he does it for
two of his birds, and it's both birds that I
got him. I gave my neighbor baby turkey chicks this
summer and it's a full grown turkey. One survived, and
I gave him a rooster. They have to ride from
(19:19):
my neighbor's house on the golf cart down to the
coop at night, and then he has to go pick
them up and drive them back up to the house
on the golf cart. They literally ride with them on
a golf cart. A chicken and a turkey. Does see
you'll pick them up and put them on the golf cart. Yes,
and they don't jump out, No, they literally ride. That's
(19:41):
that's kind of sick. I think it's funny.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
That they're birded or they're winged animals and they're.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Taking a ride. They ride on the golf cart. My
neighbor has to pick them up and give them a
