(00:21):
day in the world of Alabama.Yeah, what happy? So I get
home, you know, from whereverI'm at when i'm out. I got
home yesterday and I let my chickensout of the coop to free range in
the yard and walk around. AndI let my dogs out because you've seen
my hundred pound Rottweiler German shepherd mixbig. He thinks that the chickens are

(00:46):
his babies. And so I letthe dogs out with the chickens to protect
the chickens from the bobcat who hasattacked the chickens. Right, well,
I'll let go in the house anddo whatever. I'll take the eggs in,
I'll use the bathroom, I'll changeclothes, I'll do all the things.
I walked outside on my front porchyesterday and I look into the yard.

(01:07):
There's a chicken laying on the ground, and both of my dogs are
around it. My dogs thought thechicken was their play toy. Look at
the size of those chickens. Iscreamed so loud. I thought my dogs
killed the chicken. I go runningover the dogs. I've put them back
inside. The dogs leave the chickenalong. The chicken is alive. It's
in shock. It's just laying therewith its head in the ground like an

(01:30):
ostrich, breathing hard. Yes,it was playing dead, and I thought
it was really dead. You don'twant to play dead around me, because
I'm gonna cook you. Well.I walked in because my boyfriend was in
the house and he heard me screamingand yelling at the dogs, and I
told him what happened, and helooked at me and started laughing. He
goes, you chose this life.You did chose it. I can't.

(01:51):
I can't do it. I don'tknow what I'm doing. I'm living on
a farm and I have no cluehow to run it. Here's the magic
question. If you lost are yourchickens, what animal would you replaced the
farm with? Oh, I'm gettingbaby goats next, baby goats and ducks
ducks imprint on even think you're theirmother. Next year it will be ducks.
Ducks run from you. No,if you get them as babies,
they will think you are their motherand they will follow you around. Oh

(02:13):
Lord, And then I'm gonna losea duck and cry about it on the
radio. Just be prepared next year, all year long, the show will
be about ducks. This year it'schickens. We can could ducks too.
There, I'll call the show andwe're done. Just to happen, good

the hell? It's what the hellheadlines on the Labama Shaw. A woman

(02:35):
found a guy that had been livingunder her house for months. Why now,
where's the bathroom? Where's the kitchen? I don't get any of this.
Oh, it's all under the house. He had been living there for
months. There's a TikTok video thatshe made. Listen to this. So
it's six o'clock in the marine,and we woke up because hear her noise,
and we're going to the poe.I'm not saying. I thought somebody

(02:57):
was on a roof. And theysee the grass movie and it's feeling around
a dirty arms, feeling around thiswhole outside. There is a whole man
living here for months, living underneaththe house. Imagine being half awake and
seeing it arm a dirty arm.Hell. No, sounds like a horror
movie. That sounds like I'd begrabbing my gun. That man would not

(03:21):
be alive very long, or somebodyto help kill them. Why, there's
three things you need to know heredo you see? Britney Spears finally spoke
out about the divorce that's going onwith her and her husband sam As Garry.
I did not see this. Shewent in true fashion and posted a
dancing video on her Instagram. Weprobably saw the video, you just didn't
read the caption. That's how youspeak out, you dance. Here was

(03:45):
the caption that she posted. Shesaid, I'm actually doing pretty damn good,
and she said six years is along time to be with someone.
So I'm a little shocked, butI'm not here to explain why, because
it's honestly nobody's business. By theway, her husband sam As Gary,
last week filed for divorce and nowhe's trying to get spousal support and get
money out of her. I thinkit's a bunch of course. You feel

(04:10):
like she'll need him anyway, shesaid, But I couldn't take the pain
anymore. Honestly, I've been playingit strong for way too long and my
Instagram may seem perfect, but it'sfar from reality. And I think we
all know that. Absolutely, absolutely, we all know that. Yeah.
I don't even want to know.This guy sucks. He only married her
for her money. He's twenty nine, she's forty one. Nobody knew who
he was anyway. Brittany, Brittany, Brittany, do you think it was

(04:34):
really about the money? Though?I will be Brittany's dating coach. Brittany,
I will be your dating coach.Don't date anybody like Kevin Federline ever
again, Sam, He's a loser. Let me find the next man for
you. What's her age for aguy? What age is appropriate for her?
I don't know. We'll figure itout later. Here's here's the other
thing you need to know. Let'scelebrate. I want you to get ready.

year ago today, dear Ben,sitting here alone, looking at my ring,
feeling overwhelmed. It makes me wantto sing. How did we end
up here without a rewind? Ohmy, this is my life. If
I could just meet Jay Loofoges onetime, I can tell her what I

(05:40):

(06:46):
office. That's three things you needto know. More at the Alabama Show
dot com on the Alabama Shaw,Good morning, Shelby, what's your issue
for dear Era, I walked downon the date and the guy is being
ridiculous about it. Oh, Ismell drama. You ghost to him already,
pretty much? Why did you walkout? So? This guy know

(07:06):
from college asked me out of adate and we decided to get drinks for
our first date. Super normal.So you knew him from college already?
You knew who you know who heis from college? Yeah? Okay?
So I have one of those stretchycloth drink covers that has a hole for
the straw that I use for mycoffees. But I take it with me

(07:27):
when I go to the bar,because it keeps it to where like people
can't just drop thinking your drinks.Okay, so you already an alert.
This guy sounds like he's a weirdough. Is it that kind of vibe from
him? I mean, no,it's not him. It's just like I
don't necessarily trust people in the bar. You know, was the bar crowded?
It was pretty crowded. But alsoI don't really know this guy that
well, So I just put thecover on my drinks before I went to

(07:49):
the bathroom. So what made yougo out with him? And then if
you don't really know him that well, something had to stand out. That's
the whole point of dating. Yougo on dates to get to know people.
I feel comfortable before I agree tothe date though. Okay, well
this is why he got so much. What did he say when you put
the cover on your drink? Sohe just got really mad. I'm looking
at sense, don't you trust me? I got super awkward, and I

(08:13):
just told him that there were alot of people in the bar and I'd
rather be safe. Sorry, andbeing a girl in today's world era,
I'm gonna stop you right here fora second, Shelby, being a female
in the world we live in,it is so easy for somebody, not
even necessarily the guy that you goon a date with, but anybody in
a crowded bar to put something inyour drink like that. There is a

(08:37):
there is a drug that guys slippinggirls drinks. And when you're a girl,
a young girl, your college,you're in college, Shelby, you
have to look out for your wellbeing, in your safety. Yeah,
that's why you have your finder thingon your iPhone. You drop your location
to where you're going to be.People don't know if somebody puts something in
your drink. Yeah, but ifsomething happened that somebody, let's just say

(09:00):
he and that prayer never happens,snatches you up and walks away. Your
cell phone is going to be withyou at all times. But you can
prevent that from happening, and somebodyputting something in your drink by covering it.
That is a simple thing. Well, that's what I tried to tell
it. Or he was having noneof it, but then he just grabbed
my cup and cover off. Waita minute, so he took the cover

(09:20):
off of your cup. Yes,we made him do this because I don't.
I don't get it. He soundslike he's real aggressive. He just
got mad because he felt like Ididn't trust them, I guess. So
then what did you do after that? It just made me super uncomfortable and
so I just left on the spot. Oh you left, Okay, So
he left the date. That's whyhe left, because he took the cover
off your drink. And then whathappened. Yeah, And it's been a

(09:43):
week and he's been blowing up myphone asking why I walk out and wants
to go out again, and Ijust think he blew his thought. Er
what do you think can Shelby getback out with him? Do you?
What? Is this a disaster?I'm all for the safety of our women.
Thank you. So at the endof the day, hell no,
thank you. With him. Ifyou feel like you gotta protect yourself by

(10:05):
bringing an extra lead, I respectthat. But if a guy forcefully grabs
your drink or puts his hands onyou, yo, that's a red flag.
Red flag he's insecure too. Sono, absolutely, I love you.

and say forget about it. He'sa walking red flag. What are some
red flags you look for? Whatare some red flags you tell your daughters
to look for? Because I knowyour daughters are in the dating world right
now. Yes, if they're jealous, like from day one, that's a
red flag. If they're they mistreatthe servers or talk too much about their

(12:18):
ex, Oh yeah, talking toomuch about your ex is definitely what that
means you're not over. Then what'sthe appropriate age for your daughters to start
dating? Well, Jasmine started atsixteen, but they we actually made the

husband opened the door with a gun, because that's what my granddad did.
He was always polishing the shotgun whennew guys came over. No, my

(12:41):

be very intimidating. And he alsoused to like to tell people, you

on a date with a guy andwalked out on the date because he ripped
a drink cover off of her drinkat the boar. Yeah, she needed
to get ghost quick. Yeah likethat is a huge runaway red flag,
go go go. He is callingher trying to ask her back out on
a date, doesn't understand why sheghosted him, and it's just a mess.

(13:30):
Eight three three five one BAMA isthe number if you want to weigh
in or text the keyword and yourstext the keyword Alabama and your message to
three zero three eight two Elizabeth,what do you think about Shelby's situation?
Well, I have a brother wholives in New York, Okay, and
he was out one night by himself, drinking and having a good time.

(13:52):
And he was just at a barand you could bear your responsible guy.
Somebody slipped something in his drink.Oh my god. He hasn't had no
idea how he got home. That'sterrifying. His keys to his apartment,
but didn't lost herself him, losteverything in his wallet except for his wallet.

(14:16):
And he has no recollection of thenight. Oh my god. He
was by himself drinking, no friends, no no homies, nothing. Well,
it was just like in his neighborhoodand he just went down for a
drink to before going to bed.That is see, so drink covers are
needed, like That's why I thinkit's so scary that guy was telling Shelby

(14:37):
that she didn't need it and rippedher drink cover off. And it's not
about girls needing it. I meanguys and girls need it. That is
a very valid point because you neverknow when you go out who's going to
do well, Especially back to schoolin college right now, and everybody going
out to college bars. Just besafe, right, Oh yeah, exactly.
Thank you for calling the show andsharing the story. We appreciate you.

(15:00):
What what the Hell? It's whatthe hell headlines on the Llamashaw A
naked man broke into a house andsaid it was because an alligator was chasing
him. Why how you a lotof nicky people doing crazy things out here.
This happened in Phoenix, Arizona.I don't even think there are alligators
in Arizona. It should be theheat wave. Bring all kids an animals.

(15:22):
They're in Florida, not in Arizona. This happened at two pm.
He broke into a house. Therewere kids in the house. The homeowner
called the cops. The kids werefrom age nine to seventeen. Naked,
sixty year old Eugene Howard breaks inthe way you said, it's like a
movie. They found outside the frontdoor his underwear and a fanny pack.

(15:43):
Inside the fanny pack where two bluepills. Will let you guess what those
are, and he admitted after thepolice arrested him, that he had smoked
meth before breaking into the house.See drugs, they do a lot of
crazy things to you. Why it'sthree things. Keep listening all day long.

(16:03):
We're giving away a chance to wina trip to Vegas. Oh,
since it is to our iHeart alreadya music festival Kelly Clarkson, Ella Cool
J, Travis Scott, Food Fighters, Fallout Boy all performing. It's going
to be so awesome. So keeplistening for your keyword to win. It's
on the way. I want totalk about food. I know you do

(16:27):
save food for the last? Doit do food last? No? No,
no, because I got a betterone last. We're gonna do food
right now. Here's the best waysto pack a school lunch so it stays
fresh. I know how to dothat. Did you buy your lunch or
did you pack your lunch when youwere in school elementary school? I pack.
When I got to the middle school, they started taking my lunch.
So insulated lunch boxes are really thebest bet. The most common type that

(16:49):
you see for sale is those oldfashioned metal lunch boxes or the like a
brown paper bag that works. It'sfine if you have food that you don't
need to keep cold. If youneed to keep food cold and insulated lunch
box, you can use a frozenwater bottle or an ice pack. Here's
what needs an ice pack. Delimeats, fruit that has been cut up.
Yeah, dairy like yogurt and milk, cooked vegetables, rice and boiled

(17:12):
eggs. You don't neat that.Hold on. You want to make your
vegetables cold, but lunch. Ifit's been cooked, you need to Here's
what to pack if you cannot keepit cold, and if you need to
keep it at room temperature to lunch. Whole fruits like an apple or orange,
Raw vegetables like celery, crackers,bread, any baked goods, peanut

(17:33):
butter and jelly sandwiches. Yes,tuna pouches. Although if I was in
school and my mom packed me atuna tuna pouch, I'd have been like
dried frey, nuts and juice boxes. Tuna is good where you packed me
with marble? Are you gonna eattuna when you're in school and then have
tuna breath the rest of the daybecause you know everybody's gonna be making funny
for how your breast smells. That'swhere you got candy. And also when

(17:56):
I was in elementary school, Iwasn't eating tuna. Ain't gonna give me
a pack Katuna. I was IanCrager's in tuna for it was a snack,
It wasn't a lunch. Okay,here's the rumor of who might be
getting back together in Sync Bye byebye. Yes, I can actually approve
this. There's a rumor that saysthey are reuniting for the first time in
over twenty years because you know,Justin Timberlake did the soundtrack to the Trolls

(18:19):
movie. So the word is theother four guys who are not Justin Timberlake
are going to join Justin. Inthe third Trolls movie, Trolls band together
and they are recording a brand newsong for the soundtrack and it's gonna be
great. In the movie, Justin'stroll character is trying to reunite with this
old boy band, So of courseit would make sense to actually have InSync.

(18:40):
They're coming back and you're going tosee a tour right after this.
Are they all going to be dressedup like trolls? No? You know
what, that would be dope ifthey did not for the whole show.
What was the in sync music videowhere they're all like it's in sync dolls
of them like in Barbie packs andthey're on the shelf. Have you not
watched that music video? Is itfor Bye bay By? Somebody's gonna call

(19:00):
