A beautiful blue sky fromyesterday.
It was a nice day.

Such a nice change.
It wasn't the greatest, but Iwill take it over.

Warmest day of the year so faris today, 62 later on this
afternoon.
How about that?

I'll take it.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Some areas still below freezing.
This morning Could be somefrost in parts of DeKalb County
and parts of Etowah.
Cold there.
I don't know why it's 10degrees colder.
I don't understand.
Parts of etowah, uh, cold day.
I don't know why it's 10degrees colder.
I don't.
I don't understand.
I think the thermometers needthumped again because it says
we're 37 here and 27 in fortpayne, but anyway, 62 today, 64
tomorrow.
The weather is kind of lookinga little better for possum day.

(02:38):
We'll talk about that in a fewminutes.
There is rain but looks like itcould be out of here before
everything really gets seriousFriday morning, because it gets
serious, about 7.30 is when theactivities start and Sam comes
out at 9, so there's a chance.
So the weather's getting alittle better.
Buddy, ben Smith, we'resupposed to be talking to Ben
from Channel 19 this morning,but like well, like he's in the

(03:01):
entertainment business.
He got a phone call thismorning and the weather guy,
aaron, said I'm sick, I can'twork, so Ben had to go in he
went.
That's what he said, so Benmessaged.
It's pretty cool.
You got Ben's cell phone number.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
I know, I know, I just texted him.
He just texted me at 3 amm andI responded immediately.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Exactly, that's how you do it.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Y'all are out there sleeping and we've got whole
conversations being had.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Let me ask you a question.
Go back to our little intro.
There it says every morning itsays rise and shine.
That's a lot of pressure torise and shine.
You've got to rise or elsethat's bad.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
You don't have to rise.
Well, if you don't, you're dead.
Well, no, no, you could saylaying horizontal.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Well, you need to rise, which means you're alive.
But to shine, that's a lot ofpressure.
What does it mean to shine?

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yeah, I think it's what people do that get to sleep
in past 7 am.
Yeah, I wouldn't know I wake upearly.
Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't know Iwake up early.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, I was just curious.
I've always heard this.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Rise and shine.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
My mother would always say rise and shine, get
up.
Daddy wouldn't say it quitelike that, not the best, it was
a little different.
He'd jerk the covers off andsay get your blanky blank up and
let's go.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
That is tough.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
At 7 o'clock, you'd already wasted one hour of the
Okay, it's 7.
How did I waste 1?
I wasted 7, actually.
Yeah, but anyway, we'll get intothe weather.
We'll talk about possum day,just a couple of days away, and
a lot of stuff.
And, by the way, what?
The blank contest is up on ourFacebook Live.
Be sure and play.
The puzzle is around the house.
Three words, make a guess, getit right.

(04:46):
Your name goes into tomorrow'sdrawing to win 50 bucks of cool
stuff.
Yeah, uh, cool stuff.
I wish we could give away somenerds and gummy clusters.
It's got me craving thembecause I saw a commercial a few
minutes ago.
Shabuzy shabuzy.
This guy has like blown up inthe past year and a half.
Went from being just a verygood songwriter in nashville
wannabe singer to have like oneof the biggest songs of the year
last year.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Now he's going to be in a super bowl commercial,
coming up during the big gameyeah, and we thought that he was
going to be like a one-hitwonder and not do anything else
there.
How, how can you come back froma bar song?
Well, he has.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
He has two songs.
One is uh, what highway.
One is good news.
If you click, click on thelittle uh, you can see the
facebook.
It's on our Facebook page, hislike 15 seconds of preview of
his nerds commercial.
It's cute.
It's cute.
He's sitting in like a studiofilming a commercial which he's
in the commercial.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
And he's playing his guitar.
When he touches the guitar likethis little nerd I don't know
what you call it A little animal, yeah, it's a nerd.
And then it jumps on his guitar, then it turns his guitar into
like a nerd gummy cluster guitar.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Oh man.
So I asked you.
I said I love nerds, gummyclusters, if you could be in a
Super Bowl commercial.
And they said, holly, we wantyou to pick one product, one
item that you're going toendorse.
We're you to pick one product,one item that you're going to
endorse?
We're going to put you in thecommercial.
This is like millions uponmillions will see your
commercial.
Which product would you pick?
That's a lot of pressure.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
That's a lot of pressure.
Probably Diet Dr Pepper.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Whoa yeah, okay, because you do drink a lot.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, I drink a lot.
I mean I pretty much keep themafloat.
Yeah, maybe Old Spicecommercials like deodorant that
women use them to.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
So you're on those.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, I use them.
I use Old Spice.
Okay, yeah, I like it.
Maybe you do.
Instead of Coke, do Pepsi likethe Cindy Crawford, remember
that one.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
That's the one where she walked over to the machine.
That's like one of the mostlegendary commercials of all
time.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Maybe I could do that with the short shorts and the
cutoff wife beater and just leanup against the machine.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Then it shows a boy over there watching.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
And Scott Hatley.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Over there watching.
Drops his quarter and it rollsunder the machine, and then he
bumps his head.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
I ain't getting it?

Speaker 1 (07:07):
No, then he bumps his head on it trying to get it and
knocks himself out.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
I can see you doing that.
I can do that.
What would you do?
I think I'd go for just regular.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
I don't want the diet Dr Pepper it's okay, but it's
not regular Dr Pepper.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Do they still do the challenges during they do the?

Speaker 1 (07:23):
college games.
Yeah, the college games.
They do like the halftime whereyou throw the ball for the
scholarship money.
Probably either that orChick-fil-A.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Oh, Chick-fil-A is a good one.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
I don't want the cow to be in there with me.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
And that's some of the greatest marketing of all
time for them to think of.
Okay, we're going to bring acow into a chicken commercial,
but make it about chicken.
That's brilliant yeah and youdon't remember the the calendars
they used to have.
They used to have thesecalendars and these would sell
out, like within days.
It had like 12 months.
Of course it was a cowdecorated in one year's like a

(07:59):
movie theme.
They had the cows decoratedlike some of the indiana jones
pull-ups at some pointchick-fil-a cow calendars.
And you decorated like some ofthe Indiana Jones Pull-ups at
some point Chick-fil-A cowcalendars.
And you'll see some of the.
These were some of the coolest.
So, Mr Chick-fil-A, if you'relistening, we should bring those
back.
Those were some of the bestcalendars and I would get one
every year, and they were hardto find because they would sell

(08:19):
out automatically.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah, a good of days.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
So if you pull up chick-fil-a, it's probably been
20 years ago since they've donethis.
I think it's time to bring themback.
Chick-fil-a cow calendars.
They did like every year forprobably 10 years, I'm just
guessing, maybe longer, butwhoever thought of the fact of
putting a cow into thechick-fil-a commercials and how
they market themselves?

Speaker 2 (08:42):
yeah, it says that they retired its annual cow
calendars.
How?

Speaker 1 (08:47):
long has it been, does it say.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
No, it doesn't.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
It's been quite a while.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
I don't see anything, but I do see.
This one is the cows of realityTV.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah, does it show some of the pictures?

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Oh yeah, look at them , aren't those cool?
Yeah, those are cute.
Yeah, no pain, no grain, thoseare cute.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
And some of them they did movies, then they did like,
maybe music stars.
That's like a theme for theentire year.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Secret agent cows.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
These are cute.
That's why I wish they'd bringthem back.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
You know what's creepy though?
What the cow mascot when you'reout and about it is.
That thing is scary.
It is that thing that's scary,it is, it's huge.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
You know we should bring this back, the calendar
back, with maybe Doug the dog.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Doug would be such a good calendar model.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
We could do a theme.
We could even ask our listenersto somehow submit a picture and
do a pet QSB, pet listener, petcalendar.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
What month would Doug be?
I don't know.
Would he be the grand finale inDecember?

Speaker 1 (09:49):
He loves the warm weather because he loves to run
outside.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah, he loves it.
He loves to just run with hisears flowing.
Yes, to impress the neighbor'sdog Flowing in the wind, yes.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Shorty, yeah, but anyway I thought those were cool
.
Whoever thought of that?
Yeah?
That's cool, all right.
Other things going on thismorning.
How do you know?
We're wrapping up a monthalready, wednesday, january the
29th.
What's going on today?

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Today is National Corn Chip Day.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
I love corn chips.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
I love corn chips, I love the honey barbecue and I
love the regular barbecue.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
The honey ones, the twisty ones what do you call
them?
Well, they're twisty Twist.
The kids used to eat like a bagevery weekend of those.
Those were so good.

Speaker 2 (10:24):

Speaker 1 (10:30):
I haven't had a Frito pie in a long time and I love
tacos, haven't I?

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Neither yeah, so corn chips were started in the 1930s
.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Yum Almost 100 years old.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Oh wow, I didn't even think about that.
Here's the top ways to eat them.
Number three with salsa.
I've never done that.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
No, not really.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
I've never done that before.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Number two in a Frito Pie Is that, like Frito Pie,
slash taco salad, basically AFrito.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Pie is pretty much like you open up or no, that's a
walk-in taco in it.
What's the one that's calledwhen you open up the bag of the
small Fritos and then you putthe hamburger meat and the
lettuce and the cheese.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
That'd be like a taco salad a bit.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah, it's like a walk-in taco salad.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
That was one of the best days of CrossFit, when we
had taco salad day.
I know you knew you was gettingsome good food.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
I love taco salad day , yeah, and the number one way
is with Rotel dip.
I've never had Rotel dip withRotel dip.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
I've never had Rotel dip?
Not really, I usually usetortillas on this.
I use tortillas too, may haveto mix it up a little bit then.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, I'm going to have to.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, but I love corn chips.
Those are good.
And then here's something tothink about Yesterday.
It was a tough day.
Oh, what happened?

Speaker 1 (11:47):
I redecorating a little bit.
Yeah, I've been been updating.
Yeah, um, backed into a car, oh, oh, in the parking lot.
Don't say where, because theyall know it's you, I know, I
know, oh, I won't say where.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
A lot of damage yeah, a little bit, but what I did
was I went ahead and left a copyof my most recent bank
statement on their windshield,so they know not to even call me
she can't afford I can't affordit, fix anything no, I can't
sorry, maybe they should haveparked somewhere else.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yeah, it's not your fault, though really you blew
the horn.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
You said yeah at 6, 17 mornings with barry and holly
here on alabama's country giantwqsb, since you've been gone.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
You they've talked about this every year.
I know you were mentioning yourtop story, but the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
It starts a little later in the evening, so
sometimes by the time it's over,it's later in the night and
some people just skip work thenext day.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Yeah, and you're not alone.
Fifty-five percent of footballfans say that they think the day
after super bowl should be aholiday what do you think?

Speaker 1 (12:46):
nope, I think you use a sick day or a pto day sure,
yeah, it's like when you havethe used to the college football
championships didn't begin tilllike eight o'clock, and
whenever, like say, bamma wasplaying, you wouldn't get in bed
till after 11.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Well, yeah, but is that your job's fault?
That's you not having anyself-control, that's true, oh
look at you.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Wow, I'm sorry, miss HR over there.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
I'm just saying.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Get to work yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
But I will say that the Monday after the Super Bowl
is the world's longest Monday inthe world it is.
It is so long and so tiring.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Because you're tired, because you probably pre-game
show starts about lunch.
As far as showing something,they talk for about five hours
getting you ready for the game.
Then the game starts and yousit there watching because I
don't want to miss thecommercials, don't want to miss
those, don't want to miss thegame.
I do want to miss the halftimeshow.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
That's usually what I go to the bathroom I was about
to say you just pee in a bottle,like what do you do?

Speaker 1 (13:47):
no, no, no, I usually put it in the catheter sir
doctor who's your?
Doctor, dr youngblood, can I?

Speaker 2 (13:57):
please have one catheter for the super bowl
please for one day, just for oneday.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah, one of those.
Uh, yeah, take it home.
Take it home with you well,listen to this.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
This is wild Restaurants throughout the Gulf
Coast.
You know how you go down thereto the restaurants and they all
say source fresh, oh yeah.
Or, like they'll say, call inthe Gulf of Mexico, which I
guess is now.
Is it officially Right?
Is it officially the?

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Gulf of America Right ?
Well, not officially, Okay.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
I didn't know if it was officially or not.
Anyway, restaurants are sayingthat they're not really from the
Gulf they got busted.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Some restaurants are lying about it yes.
Actually a lot of them are.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yes, a food technology company tested shrimp
randomly found at chosenrestaurants along the Gulf Coast
.
They found a significant numberof restaurants were passing off
their shrimp like as they werelocally sourced, but they
weren't.
It says that the cities withthe highest shrimp fraud rate

(14:55):
were Tampa Bay and St Petersburg, florida, at 96%.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
So almost none of them were actually from the Gulf
.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
No, only two of the 44 restaurants that were sampled
were from the Gulf, andAlabama's didn't have any
restaurants to make the list.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
So none of the Bama restaurants were lying.
No, according to their study,according to the story, but only
two out of 44 were actuallyserving shrimp from the Gulf.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, how about that?

Speaker 1 (15:22):
But the other 42.
Where'd they come from?
That says overseas.
They're being shipped in, Iknow, but like where Don't know.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Think about Ew.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah, that's gross.
So when you think it's fresh,no, it's not, not really.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
See, I picture them going out every morning getting
their little nets just shrim instraight to the restaurant.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Have them in there by dinner.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Cracking them up.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Yeah, getting them ready, grilling them, boiling
them, whatever you need to dowith them.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
I can only eat shrimp if it's A fried or B Deveined.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Oh yeah, the deveined .
That's tough, yeah, when yourealize what you're biting into.
I know it's poop.
It's worth paying extra moneyto get them deveined.
It's shrimp poop.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
That's what it is.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yeah, get them deveined.
Yeah, even shrimp scampi can'tcover up that.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, and I just got one question for you.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, oh, no, no, it's not a shrimp, joke.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
What does shrimp need to stay healthy?

Speaker 1 (16:18):
What does shrimp need to stay healthy?
I have no idea Vitamin C.
Vitamin C.
You like that.
It's an S-E-A S-E-A yeah, s-e-a, that's good.
Yeah, and if you like that one,don't go anywhere because,
coming up just after 7, being aWednesday, it's the Hump Day,
wednesday Joke Day.
You've got some, you say, bestjokes of the year so far.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
Oh, we always say that they're best.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
You got to, I just talk every week.
It's like saying we've gotfresh Gulf shrimp yeah, we got
no, it's not.
We got the best jokes.
Let me tell you one more.
Okay, I'll find one more.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Do you know that there's a fight at the seafood
restaurant?

Speaker 1 (16:57):
No, I did not know that.
Three shrimp got battered.
I think you should have quitwhile you were ahead.
Do you have one more to redeemyourself?

Speaker 2 (17:07):
What do you call a selfish?

Speaker 1 (17:09):
shrimp, a selfish shrimp.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
No idea.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Shellfish, shellfish.
Yeah, trust me, they get betterat 710.
You don't want to miss those at633.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
Mary and Holly on Alabama's Country Giant WQSB.
What's going on?
Crazy, crazy, crazy Crazy.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
But true, you know.
Go back a few days when it wasso cold.
Imagine being in the car You'redriving to the hospital about
to have a baby.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
And the wife says, the lady says I'm not going to
make it, I'm going to have thatbaby right now In the car.
No, it happened in Alabama, ithappened here.
Wow, Shania, bennett, shaniaand her partner were heading to
the hospital.
She began to feel thecontractions.
It pulled over.
She began to feel thecontractions, said pull over now
.
They did in the parking lot ofa Krispy Kreme.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Baby was born before emergency services got there, so
everything's fine.
Mom, baby.
The name of the baby, DallasMitchell, and we were thinking,
you know, they had the perfectchance to tie in some kind of
donut name with this kid Becauseit was born in the Krispy Kreme
parking lot.
Now they did.
They have been encouraged togive it a middle name of Glaze

(18:23):
and they said probably DallasGlaze Mitchell will be the
baby's name.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Would you name it after a donut?

Speaker 1 (18:32):
I think you've got a chance.
I think if Krispy Kreme shouldhave stepped up and said hey,
we'll give you a lifetime supplyof donuts, if you'll somehow
work either our name or adonutty name into the baby's
name.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
So if it was a wait, wait, wait, lifetime donut, I
think, krispy.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Kreme should, with the hot sign.
Yeah, hot sign, that'd be agood middle name.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
No, that would not be a good one.
If it was a girl, it could havebeen Eclair.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
It could have been my name Barry Hot Sign Galloway.
What no, they said they shouldhave gone with that.

Speaker 2 (19:05):

And the Connors' seventh andfifth final season will premiere
March 26th in a six-episodefarewell.
I wonder if they're going tokill anybody off.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
I don't know.
I quit watching years ago.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
I don't watch it either.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
Now I will say it's odd that the Connors are
wrapping it up and Roseanne Barris just starting it again.
She's starting her own show.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Mm-hmm, which we do not recommend.
Based off of the description,it sounds horrible.
Okay, here are eight.
Oh, this can't be true.
Yeah, for real, is all thesereal?

Speaker 1 (22:53):
I did this for you because I saw a story this
morning Of the new movies comingup this year.
There are eight reboots.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Reboots, and two of them include live action.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
As far as Disney, one of them is a classic, and it's
rather Snow White with RachelZegler, as Snow White and the
seven dwarves are all computeranimated.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Why are we doing this ?

Speaker 1 (23:18):
I don't know, have you run out of ideas?
So there are eight you're goingto see this year, and one of
them has already come out.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Okay, wolfman, wolfman.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Well, this one is different because there are a
lot of werewolf movies and thisis one.
You've never seen one.
I still say you need to go seeit.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
I love the werewolf movies.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Romeo and Juliet comes out February 14th.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
What different can you do with this?
You know how it ends.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Did you ever watch Leonardo DiCaprio's Romeo and
Claire Danes?
That's my favorite.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Romeo and Juliet, that was a good version of it.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
That was so good, it modernized it.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
It was so good.
Snow White comes out March 21st.
Lilo and Stitch live actionwith CGI Stitch.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
What March 21st?
Lilo and Stitch live actionwith CGI.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
Stitch.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
What do you think?
No, because your daughters loveLilo and Stitch.
I love Stitch.
You want to see this one withthem.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
No, I don't.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Because I don't know why they do this.
If you're going to do anotherone, don't do the live action,
you know.
Just do another animatedversion.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
I hate live action.
They're also going to do a liveaction how to Train your Dragon
in June.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
I've seen the trailer on this one.
It's pretty amazing.
It looks so real.
Oh, really, yeah, it's got thedragon, of course, animated, and
then the people are real in it.
It looks real.
It's amazing what they can do,but still, I'm skeptical.
The kids loved how to Trainyour Dragon.
Used to watch it all the time.
The 731st version of supermanokay again.

(24:41):
Why do we need so manydifferent versions of it?
I guess because it's been solong between superman movies.
They think we've got a newaudience.
I guess maybe trailer lookspretty good.
There's kind of zeroing in onthe dog, yeah crypto.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Oh really, yeah.
Oh, the fantastic four firststeps.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
This one they've kind of bombed on everyone they've
tried.
This is like the fourth,different version of the
Fantastic Four, they say.
This time they've got it right.
I'll be the judge of that.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
And then Frankenstein comes out on Netflix.
I don't know about that.
Why do we need?

Speaker 1 (25:08):
another one of those.
I don't know so there's toomany movies coming out that
we've already had.
Give us new material.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
I am not excited for any of these.
Not a single one.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
The new material, the substance.
You only see something new,original, weird.
Don't let your kids watch it.
No, that is a weird movie.
To me more, I can see why shehas an Academy Award nomination.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
I loved it.
I loved it.
If you want to watch it, it'son Amazon Prime.
You get a free trial for sevendays and I highly recommend it,
but don't do it while you'reeating.
I've watched it like two orthree times, Like three times
yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Three.
Yeah, don't do it while eating.

Speaker 2 (25:46):

No, he's still trying to get hisrefund.
He ordered the drill online andreceived a photo.
Sylvester Franklin found thetool on AliExpress in November.

(30:01):
He didn't get what he paid for.
In addition to the drill, therewere other incorrect items in
his order.
So far he's been unsuccessfulto get his $40 back on his drill

lawyer involved, lawyer involved, it's going to cost you.

I hate to say, but I don't either.
Do you have one?
I hope I need to.
I think, Aren't you legallysupposed to Well, it's your
house, but I'm renting.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
I think in the place of employment you're supposed to
have one, but at home it'soptional.
Yeah, which I think you know.
It's highly suggested to haveone as well as a smoke alarm.
I have two.
Two, yeah, do you know wherethey?

Speaker 2 (31:37):
are Not to brag, but yeah, I had a leak underneath my
sink two weeks ago, yeah, and Ihad to clean out the bottom of
the sink at the kitchen.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
So one's there.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
I got two of them, Not one but two.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
We have one at the station.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
It happens to be in your office, it's in my office
and it's now covered up with aTaylor Swift flag, so nobody
knows where it is.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
That's not safe.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
Find the fire extinguisher.
Do y'all remember that episodeof the Office when Dwight set
the office on?

Speaker 1 (32:10):
fire.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
Everybody started freaking out.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
He blocked all the exits.
That was good 20% of peoplehave accidentally left someone
behind when they leave to gohome from vacation and had to go
back and get them.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Like a bad scene of a movie.
Leave me at the beach, leave me.
I don't think my family's everhad that problem happen to us
back and get them.
Like a bad scene of a movie,leave me at the beach, leave me.
I don't think my family's everhad that problem happen to us
that I know of.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
No, what about you?

Speaker 4 (32:45):
No, we're all accounting for it wasn't for
vacation, but one time was atthe grocery store, the other
time was at Six Flags and, notto you know, hate all my parents
or anything you?

Speaker 3 (32:58):
yeah, I was the one.
I was the one that got left,yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
So the experience at six flags was kind of crazy.
I was probably, I'd say, aboutsix years old, scary, yeah, and
so I'd wandered off to, uh, thelog ride, because you know at
that time, like they had thebridge to go over and you could
get wet, and all that yeah so Igot lost and I headed to the
front of six flags, yeah, andthen I said, well, she probably

(33:25):
won't be here.
So I went to the map and foundthe lost and found on the map
and found my way and I was smart.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
I was six years old.

Speaker 4 (33:32):
That's really smart yeah, so I usually tell people
from an early start like Ilearned how to be independent
and find my way.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
So you got lost at Six Flags and where else the
grocery store, grocery storeyeah, so what?

Speaker 4 (33:43):
had happened is we were going through the grocery
store at Piggly, wiggly and Boazand I went to the ice cream
section and there was ice creamin the very back, so I opened
the door and I I crawl in thevery back of it to get it and
the door shut behind me so I'min the freezer stuck can't get
out, can't push, don't have thestrength to push the door open
so I'm looking like a mom in awindow trying to get out.

me up for that.
It was a willful, that's sofunny, that's so funny.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Stewardesses is the longest word that is typed with
only the left hand.
Stewardesses I'm looking atthat now.
Okay, I see it now.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
Okay, all of them are on the left side.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Stewardesses, you are correct.
Oh, that is satisfying to typeout.
I couldn't spell it right, butI could.
Were you good at typing inschool?

Speaker 1 (34:40):
Yeah, I was pretty good at that.
Yeah, I was good at that, yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
I don't remember how many words per minute, but I
know that I was top percentageof my class, whoa.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Don't want to brag, but.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
There are some here that still use the one-hand peck
.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
Oh my gosh peck, oh my gosh.
The teachers with the one handpeck oh my gosh Cannot stand it.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
Let me tell you a little information here.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Let me get up there and talk for you my history.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
I was horrible at algebra Horrible, I was so bad.
My senior year in high schoolmy algebra teacher pulled me up
and said blanket this.
I said, please help me, I'vegot to graduate.
He said, okay, if you'll washmy car every other week, I'll
give you a passing grade.
And I did.
But then I got into college andI had to have algebra.
I thought, no, why I'm goinginto radio, why, why does that?

(35:28):
So I got to with the counselorand I said I'm terrible.
They said I know I've seen yourgrades.
Yeah, so they let me taketyping and put it on my grades
as algebra.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
Oh wow, they won't do that.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
So I got like a 90 in algebra is actually from typing
.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
Well, I mean, algebra has letters in it, so I mean I
guess you could, you know, beokay with it?
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Do you know what math I had to take in college?

Speaker 1 (35:51):
No.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Math 90.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
What does that mean?
We learned to add and subtract.

Speaker 4 (35:55):
That's like a remediation.
Oh, remediation, we learned toadd and subtract.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Really, the first day it was hello everybody.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
This is an addition symbol and this means that you
add two numbers.
I'm not kidding, seriously.
Yes, pleasure, I'm that bad.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
You're precious.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
But I took like AP, I mean like dual enrollment,
englishes and literatures andsciences, but the math did not
click, still doesn't click.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Dual Quit bragging.
I did Dual enrollment.
I couldn't even pass singleenrollment.
I did it twice, I even tried tofail on purpose, just to go to
the zoo.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
I know, can I talk about that?
That's another story.
That's a whole other story fora whole other time.
It was, it was, it was a longone.

Speaker 4 (36:39):
So you know QWERTY, qwerty, yes, yes.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
QWERTY.
That's some people's favoritepassword, yeah.

It is Look at the keyboard.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (36:46):
Yeah, did y'all ever have like the orange cover, like
during typing class?
Ms Lowry, at Boat City Schoolsthey have a little cover, so
that's how you would test.
So they had a plastic piecethat would go over it.
It would hide the keys, so youhad to type out paragraphs and
sentences without looking at it.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
That is smart.

Speaker 4 (37:08):
Now I was able to do it, but I've kind of lost it,
Gotcha.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Yeah, I don't think I could do it as well as I could
in high school?

Speaker 1 (37:15):

On Purpose with Jay Shetty

On Purpose with Jay Shetty

I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
