Speaker 1 (06:05):
It does not feel like that.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
And if you're planning on shipping out your Christmas gifts
for the holidays, the shipping deadlines are literally in the
next few days, so go ahead and mail your packages
this weekend.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
If you want to make it by Christmas.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I was literally in the ups line yesterday and it
was wrapped around the building, so be prepared to wait.
To also usps, their deadline is December eighteenth. Also, they
want you to be mindful for your delivery drivers, so
make sure your pets are put away so they don't
have to deal with barking dogs biting them. That is
not demuir, that is not mindful.
Speaker 8 (06:37):
That is not okay.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Put your dogs up. That's three things you need to
know more.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
At the Alabama Show dot com.
Speaker 7 (06:45):
You sip sip, sip, sit third on all.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Good morning, Katie, what's your issue for ask Alabama?
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I'm not invited to spend Christmas with my boyfriend's family,
and I really don't know how to feel about it.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Oh, okay, that's why we do ask Alabama. If you
ever have an issue, call the show.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Eight three three five oh one. Bama is the number.
That's eight three three five oh one two two six two.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Okay, what's going on with your boyfriend's family and Christmas?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
And why can't you go?
Speaker 4 (07:13):
So we've been dating for two years and have been
living together for four months now, about four months, okay,
and my family lived across the country, so I don't
have the money to fly out to see them this year, unfortunately.
So I brought up our Christmas plans to my boyfriend
and he said that I'm pretty much only allowed to
come to Christmas dinner and then Christmas Morning is strictly
(07:36):
reserved for immediate family only.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
What that's so weird?
Speaker 9 (07:41):
Weird?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
And Christmas has always been a really big deal to me, Like,
I can't imagine excluding anybody for the holidays.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
It's just absolutely insane.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah, that's a little weird. So what did you say
to him about it?
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Well, I told him I'm super upset, and he said
that it would change once we get engaged and are married.
I'm like, is this normal?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
This can't be normal.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Producer Blake is not like that at all. Producer Blake,
you got a girlfriend, you're not married. Are you saying?
Are you excluding her from Christmas stuff?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
No?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I think that's very weird. I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Yeah, I don't understand that either. Do you think, like day,
is he gonna have another girl over for Christmas morning?
That would be my first go to I would be
setting up cameras.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
In the Christmas tree.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I mean I don't know about that.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
Are the parents excluding you? Or is it him who's
saying that you can't be there?
Speaker 4 (08:30):
It's just my boyfriend that said it's actually like my
parents like me, So I it might be coming from him.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Okay, call the show. What do you think there's something
suss here? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I thought, oh, eight three three five oh one BAMA
is the number? What shad Katie do? Her boyfriend said
she's not allowed to come to his family's house for
Christmas morning, that it's only reserved for immediate family, so
she can't come until they get married.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Like what, that's so weird? That's eight three three five
oh one.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Two two six two shall sip, She'll sip on all.
We just got a message on the Alabama Show on
Facebook about Katie and her boyfriend not letting her come
to Christmas morning.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Let me tell you what she said.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Okay, Tiana said that his parents didn't get her a
Christmas present.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Oh, she thinks that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
That could be it.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
By the way, Katie just called the show and Katie
is upset because her boyfriend said she cannot come to
Christmas morning. She can only come to Christmas dinner. That
Christmas morning is for immediate family only, and she can't
go out to see her family this year. They live
across the country, so she can't afford to fly out.
So that's why she wanted to spend Christmas with her
(09:43):
boyfriend and they live together. He's like, nope, not till
we're married. So Tiana thinks it's because they don't have
her present. Eight three three five oh one BAMA is
the number to call the show. Would you be upset
if your spouse told you couldn't come to their family
for the holidays?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
What do you do?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Katie just called the show and she's upset that her
boyfriend doesn't want her to come to Christmas Morning. He said,
she's allowed to come to Christmas dinner, but not Christmas Morning.
That's immediate family only, and she can come when they're married,
which is so weird to me. Eight three three five
oh one Bama is the number? What do you think, Chris?
Good morning?
Speaker 10 (10:15):
Okay, I got a couple of quick quolla up questions
just around out my theory on it. Okay, you know
how old Katie is?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Katie? I think she sounded like she was in her twenties.
Speaker 10 (10:24):
They're young, Okay, yeah, that's why I can't sound like
to me too. Also, is the boyfriend an only child?
Speaker 6 (10:30):
That is the siblings? Do you have any.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Idea We didn't even ask any of that.
Speaker 11 (10:34):
Well, because it sounds like he's either an only child
and maybe the oldest, because it doesn't sound like they've
been doing this a whole lot, you know, like they've
gone through this with other spouses.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Well, and she did say like this year she can't
afford to fly out to her family, who lives across
the country, because normally she flies out to her family
to do the Christmas thing.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I think he's got another girlfriend.
Speaker 10 (10:55):
I think it's weird and unusual, but I I don't
necessarily think that. I think the family just probably real formal,
because sometimes, especially with guys, families get real weird about
accepting a woman in and tell their Mary Like, it's
not real common, but I've seen it happen.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Have you ever uninvited somebody to Christmas or like not
been able to bring somebody or have you been the
one that was uninvited?
Speaker 10 (11:17):
No, luckily not. We're kind of the opposite in my family.
Like every once in a while, somebodyho brings a stray
in that nobody knows and it's okay, it's Christmas.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
You know. It's so kind of We're kind of go
to the opposite direction.
Speaker 10 (11:27):
But I have heard other families that are kind of.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Weird, like that priser Blake wants to be your straytcha.
Speaker 9 (11:33):
Now, I'm just.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Saying Alabama relates. She brings in a lot of traes.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
This is true. I love you, Chris, Thank you for calling. Also,
we're on TikTok Live. I know you like the reminder
we just went live.
Speaker 11 (11:46):
Awesome, awesome, thank you about right over.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Also, if you want to see behind the scenes and
see what happens on the show. We are on TikTok Live.
Go follow Alabama.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Radio and you can hang out with us all morning
there as well.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Katie called the show and she's upset that her boyfriend
said she is not allowed to come to Christmas morning
when they open the gifts, that it's for immediate family only,
and she's not considered immediate family unless they are engaged.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Or married, and she is. She thinks it's weird. What
do you think?
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Kate?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Three three five oh one, Bama is the number, or
you can message the Alabama Show on Facebook. Caitlin said
she needs to leave him. Rebecca, good morning.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
What do you think?
Speaker 9 (12:25):
FIRSTONLL? How old are they are?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
They?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Like, I think they're in their twenties. She sounds young.
Speaker 9 (12:30):
Okay, Well here's the thing. I mean, they may the
parents maybe old school. They may not have agreed with
them moving in together without Pam Mary's to begin with.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
That's a good point.
Speaker 9 (12:42):
Yes, so maybe that's the reason why they're like, once
are married, then she can come. But you know, since
you're not married, you know, and they maybe old school.
I mean, this is the smell.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Are your parents' old school?
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (12:56):
Very old school?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Did you ever live with a boyfriend and them get mad.
Speaker 9 (13:00):
No, I knew better than to live with a boyfriend
before I was married to me.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
If I hear the phrase from my family one more time,
you're giving away the cow for free, why buy the milk?
Speaker 9 (13:14):
That's how my parents were. Now, my daughter, when she
was sixteen, she had a boyfriend and he came over
Christmas morning and spent Christmas with us, and he didn't
bother me. But I think it was because I knew
how old school my parents were, and I wasn't gonna
be that way with my daughter.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Oh that's awesome.
Speaker 9 (13:31):
So in certain aspects, you know, I do agree with
my parents, but in other aspects it's a little too much.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Rebecca, that's that's great advice. I appreciate you for calling.
Speaker 9 (13:41):
All right, thank you.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Katie wants to know if it's weird that her boyfriend
told her she's not allowed to come to his family's
house for Christmas morning because it's reserved only for immediate family.
She's allowed to come to the dinner later at night,
but not in the morning unless they are engaged or married.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Eight three three five Oho one Mma is the number two?
Good morning? What do you think Hey, I think.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
It's pretty easy. She just needs to ask him to
marry her, then they're engaged. The second party is I
kind of don't disagree. You never know when something might
break up, but you don't want those Christmas memories be
tarnished by the nonc metal.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Because she might be in all the Christmas photos and
they'll be like, remember this girl that you broke up
with right after Christmas that never turned into anything?
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Yeah, where do you live? And grandkids? Bringing his girlfriend
who's seventeen. Nah, tomorrow, get out.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
You can't erase somebody out of your head once you
break up with them.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
They're still there, although you can put them on the
end of the family photo, I guess. And they just
cut down.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Tommy, I love you. You're great. Thank you for calling.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
Take care Mary, Christmas, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Nate, good morning.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
What do you think about Katie's boyfriend not letting her
come to Christmas Morning?
Speaker 6 (14:57):
I think you should let her go because together and
that's his girlfriend and she can't go see her family.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I feel like excluding somebody for the holidays is kind
of rude, and nobody wants to be alone on the holidays.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
You know, like, if you go off to college and
you live in your college town and want of your
college buddy want to come over. Let them come over.
You know, it's just just being genuine.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
See Nate, this is why man producer Blake love you
can we come to your house for Christmas.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
I won't be at home, but y'all can come y'all
and go me to Florida.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Okay, David, Christmas in Florida.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
That's what I call a good day. Hen palm trees.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
I'm ready, folks living in Florida, so I'm gonna head
down there for Farmingham.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
That is great. Will you sound like you are one
of the most awesome people to spend Christmas with? And
I love you and thank you for calling.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
Nate love y'all too. Y'all. Have a good holiday, y'all.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Hey, Merry Christmas and happy holidays.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Nate, same with y'all.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
It's three things you need to know you the Elma Show.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Don't forget to sign up for Alabama's Polite Porch Pirates,
where we could show up literally at your house with
all the Christmas cheer and all the Christmas gifts. I've
been shopping all week long. We've got Target gift cards,
Starbucks gifts star I can't even talk. I'm so excited,
Starbucks gift cards, and air fryar some Ninja bullets. All
the things go to the Alabama Show dot com because
(16:14):
we're doing the opposite of porch pirates. Instead of stealing,
we're bringing you the Christmas cheer and put in your information.
Give us your address so we know where to take
the presence. That's the Alabama Show dot Com. Morgan Wallin
was just sentenced after pleading guilty in the case of
throwing the chair over the rooftop bar at Eric Church
(16:35):
at Eric Church's bar in Nashville. He was sentenced to
spend seven days in a duy education center and be
under supervised probation for two years.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
He did plead guilty in court.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
He was like, I'm going to be responsible for my actions.
A producer, Blake, here's what you need to know. If
you're flying with a wrapped Christmas gift, you're staying here.
You're not flying anywhere, are you.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
I mean, I can if I want you for phone,
but not at the moment.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
So TSA says, if you have a wrapped gift, they
are at liberty.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
If they need to inspect it, they will unwrap your gifts.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
So they're saying, either wait to wrap your gifts until
after you've gone through TSA or put them in a
gift bag so they can just open it and pull
whatever it is out. Here are some common gifts that
are allowed. If you have a small snow globe, that's fine.
It's got to be less than three point four ounces
of liquid, so basically the size of a tennis ball
that can go in your carry on.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Larger ones need to be in your checked bag.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Advent calendars are okay to carry on if you have electronics.
Each rule for different electronics is different, so just make
sure that you check it out on the Airport TSA website.
And that's three things you need to know. More at
the alabamashow dot com.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
I know when you won, I saved your information because
we were talking off the air and your husband passed
away unexpectedly.

Speaker 13 (21:11):
My daughter's eleven and my son is eight.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
I was so touched by your story because I know
how hard it is to lose a loved one and
how hard it is to go.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Through the holidays, especially. I know this is going to
be your first Christmas without your husband, the.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Holidays going through that is something I don't think anybody
should ever have to go through. Have you heard of
our polite porch pirates where we're showing up to people's
houses with Christmas gifts?
Speaker 11 (21:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (21:43):
Well I haven't we listen y'all show I heard that.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
So this is like, don't apologize, you have a lot
going on in your life. That's fine.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
It's a it's a thing we've been doing where we
just we let people sign up and we show up
at their house and we bring them Christmas gifts. It's
the opposite porch pirates. And the reason that I called
you is I wanted to bring you some Christmas gifts
this year and try to make y'all's holiday a little
extra special. And that's okay, girl, your story has had
(22:18):
me tearing up for a minute.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Now off the air.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I want to get what's on your kids wish list too,
because people don't think not only when you lose somebody,
there's so many things to that.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
That's the extra income that you've lost.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yeah, that was our only income.
Speaker 13 (22:35):
That was our only income.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (22:38):
And I was to say a home mom ever since
so it happened. I mean wanted me to be a mom,
so I was. It was our only income. It's just
so much, you know, it's not like just a dead
it's like.
Speaker 12 (22:48):
So many other things that you know that goes along
with it too.
Speaker 13 (22:52):
Absolutely, living with my mom, that's another story.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Look, and I know it's not a lot, it's just presence.
I wish I had all the money in the world,
we would do more.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Now I feel like just bringing some presence that no.
Speaker 13 (23:08):
I was just telling you, like just some you know.
I just I we love your personality. And I was like,
all of a sudden, my kids, I want to be
friends with her and her need to be friends. And
it was so weird that after you, after I won
those tickets, I was like, I actually wanted to reach
out to you because I know that we talk out.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
There and just to tell you how, you know, thank
you you brought my day data and just.
Speaker 12 (23:29):
Show you a little bit more about story and not
expecting anything in return at all.
Speaker 13 (23:33):
I just you just have one of those personalities that
pay Just thank you that means a lot.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
We just we really want to help you out for
the holidays this year. We want to bring you some
holiday stuff. No kids should have to have a Christmas
without their dad.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
And so you were my first person on my list
for next week for polite Porch pirates and we want
to come hook you up.
Speaker 11 (23:54):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
This is Chris Ner out your husband. We have our
friend who I love to death.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Our resident personal injury lawyer, Kirby Ferris from Farris, Riley
and Pitt Good morning, Good morning. I really want to
talk about Morgan Wallen because he got sentenced yesterday and
throwing the chair right over from the rooftop of an
eric church bar.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
In Nashville from the fifth floor or something, right, Yes, crazy?
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Have you ever dealt with somebody getting drunk and doing
stupid stuff like that?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
We love Morgan Wallan, but we can say that.
Speaker 8 (24:25):
Was a had just a handful of criminal cases over
my career, just a handful, usually for friends trying to
help him out. But I did have a guy who
was asleep at a traffic light?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (24:37):
So?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
What do you when you have a client like that?
What do you advise them?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Because Morgan pled guilty, which I think was do you
think that was the right thing to do?
Speaker 8 (24:45):
Very much?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
So?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah, and he here was his sentence.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
He has to spend seven days in a dui education center.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
What is that Is that like jail?
Speaker 8 (24:55):
Well no, it's a little more like rehab than jail.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
And then he also has to do two years under
supervised probation.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Do you think that's the right deal he took?
Speaker 8 (25:06):
I think that's fair.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Okay, yeah, and especially do you think that there is
a clause for because he's got a tour, he's famous,
the whole world's been watching this case. Do you think
that judges or who now I can't Jerry, do you
think the judges and the jury do you think that
there's like a special not special treatment, because I know
(25:28):
there's no special treatment in court, but is that something
to consider?
Speaker 8 (25:32):
It is, for instance, if you were in a program sometime,
some kind of deferment program or so, they would take
into account that you've got the show to do, that's
the way you make your living, and the court takes
all of that into account. But a really important thing
that's going on with Morgan that that really doesn't come
out in those articles is that he's on a deferment program.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
So what is that? What does that mean?
Speaker 8 (25:53):
So when we have them here in Alabama, So, a
deferment program is designed to help you if you are
not necess necessarily a repeat offender. So an example, okay,
of a deferment program. Let's say you're in college, right
and you're out and you have a few too many
drinks and you get a DUI. Yeah, but over you know,
you don't have a criminal history. You're trying to do
(26:13):
the right things. You just make a mistake, right, the
court will put you in a deferment program and say, Okay,
for the next six months or for the next year,
we're going to randomly test you for drugs and alcohol.
You're going to have to go to classes, You're going
to have to do this series of things. But at
the end, we're going to wipe your record clean. It's
going to be like this never happened. That's awesome, and
(26:35):
that's what Morgan wants in And the downside to it is,
as we saw yesterday, you have to plead guilty to
the crime in order to get in the deferment program.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
But I do think what's good about him is he
has publicly said, look, I take responsibility for my actions.
And I think he's got a really good platform with
how public he is, that he can spend this later
on into a positive I think he's.
Speaker 8 (27:01):
Doing all the right things. Yes, And gosh, I just
love his music.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I do too, love it.
Speaker 9 (27:06):
We all do.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
We all do.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Kirby Ferris, We love you.

Put your dogs up. That's three things you need to
know more.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
At the Alabama Show dot com.
Speaker 7 (06:45):
You sip sip, sip, sit third on all.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Good morning, Katie, what's your issue for ask Alabama?
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I'm not invited to spend Christmas with my boyfriend's family,
and I really don't know how to feel about it.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Oh, okay, that's why we do ask Alabama. If you
ever have an issue, call the show.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Eight three three five oh one. Bama is the number.
That's eight three three five oh one two two six two.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Okay, what's going on with your boyfriend's family and Christmas?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
And why can't you go?
Speaker 4 (07:13):
So we've been dating for two years and have been
living together for four months now, about four months, okay,
and my family lived across the country, so I don't
have the money to fly out to see them this year, unfortunately.
So I brought up our Christmas plans to my boyfriend
and he said that I'm pretty much only allowed to
come to Christmas dinner and then Christmas Morning is strictly
(07:36):
reserved for immediate family only.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
What that's so weird?
Speaker 9 (07:41):
Weird?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
And Christmas has always been a really big deal to me, Like,
I can't imagine excluding anybody for the holidays.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
It's just absolutely insane.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah, that's a little weird. So what did you say
to him about it?
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Well, I told him I'm super upset, and he said
that it would change once we get engaged and are married.
I'm like, is this normal?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
This can't be normal.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Producer Blake is not like that at all. Producer Blake,
you got a girlfriend, you're not married. Are you saying?
Are you excluding her from Christmas stuff?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
No?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I think that's very weird. I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Yeah, I don't understand that either. Do you think, like day,
is he gonna have another girl over for Christmas morning?
That would be my first go to I would be
setting up cameras.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
In the Christmas tree.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I mean I don't know about that.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
Are the parents excluding you? Or is it him who's
saying that you can't be there?
Speaker 4 (08:30):
It's just my boyfriend that said it's actually like my
parents like me, So I it might be coming from him.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Okay, call the show. What do you think there's something
suss here? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I thought, oh, eight three three five oh one BAMA
is the number? What shad Katie do? Her boyfriend said
she's not allowed to come to his family's house for
Christmas morning, that it's only reserved for immediate family, so
she can't come until they get married.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Like what, that's so weird? That's eight three three five
oh one.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Two two six two shall sip, She'll sip on all.
We just got a message on the Alabama Show on
Facebook about Katie and her boyfriend not letting her come
to Christmas morning.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Let me tell you what she said.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Okay, Tiana said that his parents didn't get her a
Christmas present.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Oh, she thinks that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
That could be it.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
By the way, Katie just called the show and Katie
is upset because her boyfriend said she cannot come to
Christmas morning. She can only come to Christmas dinner. That
Christmas morning is for immediate family only, and she can't
go out to see her family this year. They live
across the country, so she can't afford to fly out.
So that's why she wanted to spend Christmas with her
(09:43):
boyfriend and they live together. He's like, nope, not till
we're married. So Tiana thinks it's because they don't have
her present. Eight three three five oh one BAMA is
the number to call the show. Would you be upset
if your spouse told you couldn't come to their family
for the holidays?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
What do you do?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Katie just called the show and she's upset that her
boyfriend doesn't want her to come to Christmas Morning. He said,
she's allowed to come to Christmas dinner, but not Christmas Morning.
That's immediate family only, and she can come when they're married,
which is so weird to me. Eight three three five
oh one Bama is the number? What do you think, Chris?
Good morning?
Speaker 10 (10:15):
Okay, I got a couple of quick quolla up questions
just around out my theory on it. Okay, you know
how old Katie is?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Katie? I think she sounded like she was in her twenties.
Speaker 10 (10:24):
They're young, Okay, yeah, that's why I can't sound like
to me too. Also, is the boyfriend an only child?
Speaker 6 (10:30):
That is the siblings? Do you have any.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Idea We didn't even ask any of that.
Speaker 11 (10:34):
Well, because it sounds like he's either an only child
and maybe the oldest, because it doesn't sound like they've
been doing this a whole lot, you know, like they've
gone through this with other spouses.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Well, and she did say like this year she can't
afford to fly out to her family, who lives across
the country, because normally she flies out to her family
to do the Christmas thing.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I think he's got another girlfriend.
Speaker 10 (10:55):
I think it's weird and unusual, but I I don't
necessarily think that. I think the family just probably real formal,
because sometimes, especially with guys, families get real weird about
accepting a woman in and tell their Mary Like, it's
not real common, but I've seen it happen.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Have you ever uninvited somebody to Christmas or like not
been able to bring somebody or have you been the
one that was uninvited?
Speaker 10 (11:17):
No, luckily not. We're kind of the opposite in my family.
Like every once in a while, somebodyho brings a stray
in that nobody knows and it's okay, it's Christmas.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
You know. It's so kind of We're kind of go
to the opposite direction.
Speaker 10 (11:27):
But I have heard other families that are kind of.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Weird, like that priser Blake wants to be your straytcha.
Speaker 9 (11:33):
Now, I'm just.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Saying Alabama relates. She brings in a lot of traes.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
This is true. I love you, Chris, Thank you for calling. Also,
we're on TikTok Live. I know you like the reminder
we just went live.
Speaker 11 (11:46):
Awesome, awesome, thank you about right over.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Also, if you want to see behind the scenes and
see what happens on the show. We are on TikTok Live.
Go follow Alabama.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Radio and you can hang out with us all morning
there as well.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Katie called the show and she's upset that her boyfriend
said she is not allowed to come to Christmas morning
when they open the gifts, that it's for immediate family only,
and she's not considered immediate family unless they are engaged.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Or married, and she is. She thinks it's weird. What
do you think?
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Kate?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Three three five oh one, Bama is the number, or
you can message the Alabama Show on Facebook. Caitlin said
she needs to leave him. Rebecca, good morning.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
What do you think?
Speaker 9 (12:25):
FIRSTONLL? How old are they are?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
They?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Like, I think they're in their twenties. She sounds young.
Speaker 9 (12:30):
Okay, Well here's the thing. I mean, they may the
parents maybe old school. They may not have agreed with
them moving in together without Pam Mary's to begin with.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
That's a good point.
Speaker 9 (12:42):
Yes, so maybe that's the reason why they're like, once
are married, then she can come. But you know, since
you're not married, you know, and they maybe old school.
I mean, this is the smell.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Are your parents' old school?
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (12:56):
Very old school?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Did you ever live with a boyfriend and them get mad.
Speaker 9 (13:00):
No, I knew better than to live with a boyfriend
before I was married to me.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
If I hear the phrase from my family one more time,
you're giving away the cow for free, why buy the milk?
Speaker 9 (13:14):
That's how my parents were. Now, my daughter, when she
was sixteen, she had a boyfriend and he came over
Christmas morning and spent Christmas with us, and he didn't
bother me. But I think it was because I knew
how old school my parents were, and I wasn't gonna
be that way with my daughter.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Oh that's awesome.
Speaker 9 (13:31):
So in certain aspects, you know, I do agree with
my parents, but in other aspects it's a little too much.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Rebecca, that's that's great advice. I appreciate you for calling.
Speaker 9 (13:41):
All right, thank you.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Katie wants to know if it's weird that her boyfriend
told her she's not allowed to come to his family's
house for Christmas morning because it's reserved only for immediate family.
She's allowed to come to the dinner later at night,
but not in the morning unless they are engaged or married.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Eight three three five Oho one Mma is the number two?
Good morning? What do you think Hey, I think.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
It's pretty easy. She just needs to ask him to
marry her, then they're engaged. The second party is I
kind of don't disagree. You never know when something might
break up, but you don't want those Christmas memories be
tarnished by the nonc metal.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Because she might be in all the Christmas photos and
they'll be like, remember this girl that you broke up
with right after Christmas that never turned into anything?
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Yeah, where do you live? And grandkids? Bringing his girlfriend
who's seventeen. Nah, tomorrow, get out.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
You can't erase somebody out of your head once you
break up with them.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
They're still there, although you can put them on the
end of the family photo, I guess. And they just
cut down.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Tommy, I love you. You're great. Thank you for calling.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
Take care Mary, Christmas, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Nate, good morning.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
What do you think about Katie's boyfriend not letting her
come to Christmas Morning?
Speaker 6 (14:57):
I think you should let her go because together and
that's his girlfriend and she can't go see her family.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I feel like excluding somebody for the holidays is kind
of rude, and nobody wants to be alone on the holidays.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
You know, like, if you go off to college and
you live in your college town and want of your
college buddy want to come over. Let them come over.
You know, it's just just being genuine.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
See Nate, this is why man producer Blake love you
can we come to your house for Christmas.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
I won't be at home, but y'all can come y'all
and go me to Florida.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Okay, David, Christmas in Florida.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
That's what I call a good day. Hen palm trees.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
I'm ready, folks living in Florida, so I'm gonna head
down there for Farmingham.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
That is great. Will you sound like you are one
of the most awesome people to spend Christmas with? And
I love you and thank you for calling.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
Nate love y'all too. Y'all. Have a good holiday, y'all.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Hey, Merry Christmas and happy holidays.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Nate, same with y'all.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
It's three things you need to know you the Elma Show.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Don't forget to sign up for Alabama's Polite Porch Pirates,
where we could show up literally at your house with
all the Christmas cheer and all the Christmas gifts. I've
been shopping all week long. We've got Target gift cards,
Starbucks gifts star I can't even talk. I'm so excited,
Starbucks gift cards, and air fryar some Ninja bullets. All
the things go to the Alabama Show dot com because
(16:14):
we're doing the opposite of porch pirates. Instead of stealing,
we're bringing you the Christmas cheer and put in your information.
Give us your address so we know where to take
the presence. That's the Alabama Show dot Com. Morgan Wallin
was just sentenced after pleading guilty in the case of
throwing the chair over the rooftop bar at Eric Church
(16:35):
at Eric Church's bar in Nashville. He was sentenced to
spend seven days in a duy education center and be
under supervised probation for two years.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
He did plead guilty in court.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
He was like, I'm going to be responsible for my actions.
A producer, Blake, here's what you need to know. If
you're flying with a wrapped Christmas gift, you're staying here.
You're not flying anywhere, are you.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
I mean, I can if I want you for phone,
but not at the moment.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
So TSA says, if you have a wrapped gift, they
are at liberty.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
If they need to inspect it, they will unwrap your gifts.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
So they're saying, either wait to wrap your gifts until
after you've gone through TSA or put them in a
gift bag so they can just open it and pull
whatever it is out. Here are some common gifts that
are allowed. If you have a small snow globe, that's fine.
It's got to be less than three point four ounces
of liquid, so basically the size of a tennis ball
that can go in your carry on.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Larger ones need to be in your checked bag.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Advent calendars are okay to carry on if you have electronics.
Each rule for different electronics is different, so just make
sure that you check it out on the Airport TSA website.
And that's three things you need to know. More at
the alabamashow dot com.

a few months ago, and I saved her information for
when we did Alabama's Polite Porch Pirates, which thank you

we surprise people with Christmas gifts but Megan had won
something totally different and off the air we were talking

I know you're not dollars and who says that. But
I've been sick, like I'm actually going up to the
doctors now and I have some major and how there
she's going on, but we're trying to figure out Apparently
it's severely a namick and I passed out like just

Speaker 6 (20:21):
So yeah, it's it's been.
Speaker 13 (20:24):
It's bad on top of.
Speaker 12 (20:25):
You know, lolgy before my husband just died and my kids,
so like I'm going to the doctor with me and
with my children right now.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That's why I wanted to call you, and I did
not tell you this.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
I know when you won, I saved your information because
we were talking off the air and your husband passed
away unexpectedly.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
What was it a few months ago?
Speaker 9 (20:45):
Yeah, on November betweenty nine.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
And you're sorry.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
I'm sorry, I'm timber between nights.
Speaker 13 (20:50):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Can I ask how old? How old was he?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Forty?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
And your sorry hit so hard with me because you
and I are the same age. And how many kids?
How many kids do you have?
Speaker 13 (21:03):
We have two kids and an eight year old, eleven.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Year old, an eight year old and eleven year old?
Are they boys or girls? Or a boy and a girl.
Speaker 9 (21:10):
I have a little girl.
Speaker 13 (21:11):
My daughter's eleven and my son is eight.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
I was so touched by your story because I know
how hard it is to lose a loved one and
how hard it is to go.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Through the holidays, especially. I know this is going to
be your first Christmas without your husband, the.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Holidays going through that is something I don't think anybody
should ever have to go through. Have you heard of
our polite porch pirates where we're showing up to people's
houses with Christmas gifts?
Speaker 11 (21:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (21:43):
Well I haven't we listen y'all show I heard that.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
So this is like, don't apologize, you have a lot
going on in your life. That's fine.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
It's a it's a thing we've been doing where we
just we let people sign up and we show up
at their house and we bring them Christmas gifts. It's
the opposite porch pirates. And the reason that I called
you is I wanted to bring you some Christmas gifts
this year and try to make y'all's holiday a little
extra special. And that's okay, girl, your story has had
(22:18):
me tearing up for a minute.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Now off the air.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I want to get what's on your kids wish list too,
because people don't think not only when you lose somebody,
there's so many things to that.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
That's the extra income that you've lost.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yeah, that was our only income.
Speaker 13 (22:35):
That was our only income.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (22:38):
And I was to say a home mom ever since
so it happened. I mean wanted me to be a mom,
so I was. It was our only income. It's just
so much, you know, it's not like just a dead
it's like.
Speaker 12 (22:48):
So many other things that you know that goes along
with it too.
Speaker 13 (22:52):
Absolutely, living with my mom, that's another story.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Look, and I know it's not a lot, it's just presence.
I wish I had all the money in the world,
we would do more.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Now I feel like just bringing some presence that no.
Speaker 13 (23:08):
I was just telling you, like just some you know.
I just I we love your personality. And I was like,
all of a sudden, my kids, I want to be
friends with her and her need to be friends. And
it was so weird that after you, after I won
those tickets, I was like, I actually wanted to reach
out to you because I know that we talk out.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
There and just to tell you how, you know, thank
you you brought my day data and just.
Speaker 12 (23:29):
Show you a little bit more about story and not
expecting anything in return at all.
Speaker 13 (23:33):
I just you just have one of those personalities that
pay Just thank you that means a lot.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
We just we really want to help you out for
the holidays this year. We want to bring you some
holiday stuff. No kids should have to have a Christmas
without their dad.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
And so you were my first person on my list
for next week for polite Porch pirates and we want
to come hook you up.
Speaker 11 (23:54):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
This is Chris Ner out your husband. We have our
friend who I love to death.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Our resident personal injury lawyer, Kirby Ferris from Farris, Riley
and Pitt Good morning, Good morning. I really want to
talk about Morgan Wallen because he got sentenced yesterday and
throwing the chair right over from the rooftop of an
eric church bar.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
In Nashville from the fifth floor or something, right, Yes, crazy?
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Have you ever dealt with somebody getting drunk and doing
stupid stuff like that?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
We love Morgan Wallan, but we can say that.
Speaker 8 (24:25):
Was a had just a handful of criminal cases over
my career, just a handful, usually for friends trying to
help him out. But I did have a guy who
was asleep at a traffic light?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (24:37):
So?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
What do you when you have a client like that?
What do you advise them?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Because Morgan pled guilty, which I think was do you
think that was the right thing to do?
Speaker 8 (24:45):
Very much?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
So?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah, and he here was his sentence.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
He has to spend seven days in a dui education center.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
What is that Is that like jail?
Speaker 8 (24:55):
Well no, it's a little more like rehab than jail.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
And then he also has to do two years under
supervised probation.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Do you think that's the right deal he took?
Speaker 8 (25:06):
I think that's fair.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Okay, yeah, and especially do you think that there is
a clause for because he's got a tour, he's famous,
the whole world's been watching this case. Do you think
that judges or who now I can't Jerry, do you
think the judges and the jury do you think that
there's like a special not special treatment, because I know
(25:28):
there's no special treatment in court, but is that something
to consider?
Speaker 8 (25:32):
It is, for instance, if you were in a program sometime,
some kind of deferment program or so, they would take
into account that you've got the show to do, that's
the way you make your living, and the court takes
all of that into account. But a really important thing
that's going on with Morgan that that really doesn't come
out in those articles is that he's on a deferment program.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
So what is that? What does that mean?
Speaker 8 (25:53):
So when we have them here in Alabama, So, a
deferment program is designed to help you if you are
not necess necessarily a repeat offender. So an example, okay,
of a deferment program. Let's say you're in college, right
and you're out and you have a few too many
drinks and you get a DUI. Yeah, but over you know,
you don't have a criminal history. You're trying to do
(26:13):
the right things. You just make a mistake, right, the
court will put you in a deferment program and say, Okay,
for the next six months or for the next year,
we're going to randomly test you for drugs and alcohol.
You're going to have to go to classes, You're going
to have to do this series of things. But at
the end, we're going to wipe your record clean. It's
going to be like this never happened. That's awesome, and
(26:35):
that's what Morgan wants in And the downside to it is,
as we saw yesterday, you have to plead guilty to
the crime in order to get in the deferment program.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
But I do think what's good about him is he
has publicly said, look, I take responsibility for my actions.
And I think he's got a really good platform with
how public he is, that he can spend this later
on into a positive I think he's.
Speaker 8 (27:01):
Doing all the right things. Yes, And gosh, I just
love his music.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I do too, love it.
Speaker 9 (27:06):
We all do.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
We all do.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Kirby Ferris, We love you.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
If you ever need a personal injury lawyer, Kirby Ferris
Farris rally and Pitt there.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
