thing that the judges, the radiofolks in other states, heard.

a lot of pressure.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
I was shocked we won two in a row.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, I can't believe that.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Because as the night went on, we were thinking I just

yeah, everybody's so dressed upwell then, yeah everybody looks
like we didn't even plan this,but most of our staff were

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Well, Drew Carson, Well, Drew's in blue, oh well,
he's always a little different.
You've got to stand out.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
But it was just a great night.
A lot of pictures and videos.
I encourage you to go watch thevideos.
There's one of us winning themorning show and we'll talk
about that later.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
And Barry dropped the microphone.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
It's probably the second most embarrassing moment
of my life.
We go up to accept your award,you speak Great speech, and then
I walk up to the mic.
It's kind of pointed down soI'm going to move it up a little
bit.
The minute I grabbed it, itshot out of my hand, bounced off
the stage Like a rocket and thewhole room went.

(06:21):
I know Everybody got quiet.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
But, like you said, I think it was meant to happen,
because you got a lot ofimportant words to say.
I think that kind of caughteverybody's attention.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
It did yeah some people were still eating their
food and they were not payingattention when that mic dropped
everybody looked yeah, itstopped and what they were doing
and looked and then it gottheir attention and then you can
watch it.
We'll talk more about what wesaid, but it was an emotional
night and a special night and Ijust felt like there was
something I needed to say, yeah,and I thought that was the
perfect time.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
It was, and it was hard to do get through.
Yeah, Well, it will always beBarry.
I think we were talking aboutReed and honoring him with the
award, and I think that for therest of your life, that will
never be something like oh, thisis easy for me to talk about
now.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
It's been three years and it was not.
It was still.
If you want to watch the videoof us winning the award, which
is the first time this has everbeen put up on Facebook, usually
that's what happens in thatroom stays in that room,
basically yeah, other thanpictures of the awards.
What happens in that room staysin that room, basically yeah,
other than pictures of theawards.
Yeah, but there's a video.
There's a video and it's up onour Facebook page and we've got
so many nice comments and I'mtrying to reach out and respond

(07:32):
to everybody who commentedyesterday, but I was tired.
It's a good tired becausepeople were responding and it
means a lot.
Don't think that we didn't seeyour comments, because I read
every one of them.
No, I read every single one ofthem, Every single one of them,
and it makes us emotionalbecause we are excited for the
stations and the fact that ourowners couldn't attend.

(07:54):
I hated that as the first onethat Mr and Mrs Currington have
not been to because of healthissues, and hated that so bad
because I know they would havebeen so proud to have been
sitting there.
Yeah, hated that so bad becauseI know they would have been so
proud to have been sitting there.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, it was a sad moment to not have them there.
But they were super proud andwe were in contact with them and
were texting, and Drew wassending pictures and she was
proud of us along the way of allour wins, proud of us along the
way of all our wins.
But, you know, I'm thankful forthose that we sat with because

(08:30):
I really truly felt supported.
You know, like the people thatwere with us there I felt like

Speaker 1 (08:41):
I don't think they were there just to fill a seat.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
No.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
There were some tables.
You look around and they werejust there because the company
had 10 seats and had to fillthem.

Speaker 5 (08:48):
Mm-hmm.

I know I'm I'm, I'm cold and I'mhot and I'm cold and I'm hot
filing a complaint oh, I don'tknow who is I don't know.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Since we want an abby , I think we've got some pull,
but it's a 57 today.
Last week it was 87 and it'sjust a nasty morning this
morning.
It's the kind of morning youjust want to roll back over and
lay down.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Talking about nasty yesterday.
Oh, it was miserable.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
It was nasty the storms and the heavy rain but it
gets better during the week.
We'll tell you about that, butwhat else is going on today?

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Today is some of y'all's favorite day.
It is National Beer Day ofy'all's favorite day it is
national beer day.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Oh yeah, national beer day and I will say, being
totally honest, I've never beena beer drinker just haven't.
Don't really have the taste.
I'm sure there's some out therethrowing their empty can at the
radio right now.
I'm sorry, but first of all youshouldn't be doing that at 617.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Don't judge.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Well.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Some people just that's how they live.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
We're not here to judge.
Okay, fine 5,000 years is howlong people have been making
beer.
Wow, and beer is the world'smost widely consumed alcoholic
beverage.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
There was a lot consumed Saturday night in that
room there was.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
Here's the ranking of the most popular bar drinks.
Number one beer, at almost half50%.
Wow, yep.
Number two margarita.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
And number three wine .

Speaker 1 (10:57):
I get that.
I guess, Because margarita, ifyou go have a Mexican restaurant
, if you're going to ordersomething different, you go
usually for a margarita.
You usually do, yeah, you gowith the food.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah, here's a little something extra.
Dolly Parton has teamed up withKhloe Kardashian and the Good
American Denim brand to launch alimited edition collection
called Dolly's Jolines.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
I love that.
That's cute.
Jolines Instead of jeans.
Jeans Leans Jolines Joe leansInstead of jeans leans Joe leans
.
That's cute, very smart.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Rhinestones and denim that Dolly says will make any
butt look good.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
I've seen some of the examples and they're supposed
to make you look slimmer.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Way to go, Dolly.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
I think that's what good American, what Khloe
Kardashian's jeans do.
Anyway, I think you're right.
I think they're meant to taperyou and to be flattering.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
And so, dolly, adding rhinestones is only fitting.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
That's a good idea.
Yeah, I think those will sellwell, yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
And if you're late for work this week, try this one
.
Yeah, I'm late because I had toshovel all the pollen off of
the driveway before I couldleave.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Until the rain came yesterday, pollen was probably
the worst I've ever seen.
That would have worked.
It was so thick on my car.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
And you know what pollen is.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
I know what.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
It's what happens when flowers can't keep it in
their plants.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Can't keep it in their plants.
That's good, it's 619.
And Holly On.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Alabama's Country, giant WQSB, I've been gone.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Since you've been gone, other things since you've
been gone, what's been going on?

Speaker 2 (12:29):
A new study indicates that excessive screen time
among teenagers, especiallygirls, can lead to sleep
deprivation and a risk ofdeveloping depression.
Oh wow, I absolutely believethat Last week it was my week
without the girls and I scrolledmore than normal and I felt

(12:51):
super depressed, gotcha, superdepressed.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Well, like you warned me about TikTok, because when
it finds out certain videos youlike, like, there's the
beautiful boy.
I'll give you an example themovie.
There's a lot of TikTok videosbased around that.
That's one of the saddestmovies, but it's a movie that
hits home to me and when I watchthose I get so sad at night
when I'm laying there lookingthrough my TikTok.

(13:14):
Yeah, you can't do that I know Ishouldn't be doing it, I know,
but I believe this.
They're like sleep deprived.
Yeah, how much sleep did youget two weeks ago when Harlow
was in the house?

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, See, probably about four hours total for the
week.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Okay, so, yes, teenage girls, and she's not
even a teenager yet.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
She's a preteen?
Yeah.
The research looked at kidsgirls 12 to 16, revealed that
prolonged screen time wasassociated with poor sleep
quality, delayed sleep schedulesand an increased likelihood.
Why are you laughing it?

Speaker 1 (13:47):
was late.
Till summer, when school's out,it's going to get worse.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
And an increased likelihood of experiencing
depression symptoms, like I said, usually particularly in girls.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
That worries me, one of the girls.
Adults can handle it better,but girls sometimes are confused
and don't know how to handle it.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Better, but girls sometimes are confused and don't
know how to handle it.
I think it's because girls arevery comparative to their bodies
, to their lifestyles, to theirpersonalities.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
They see popular people like influencers on
TikTok or Instagram or Facebookand they feel like they don't
measure up.
I feel like they're more likelyto compare.
I do think that boys this ageprobably do too, especially with
sports awards and stuff likethat, but I think with girls

(14:36):
it's hard not to compare.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Totally agree.
Yeah, I totally agree with that.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
And he's being called one of the worst pollen seasons
in the US history.
Experts say that the seasonalallergy sufferers are facing a
pollen tsunami.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Whoa A pollen tsunami .
Yeah, wow, not just a regularone.
That's true On the AES.
I mean, at least you have awarning, Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
That's leaving millions battling, sneezing
headaches, watery eyes, stuff,sinuses like never before.
Record-breaking pollen countshave been reported in cities
like Atlanta and Houston, andprobably Albertville, indicating
that it's been a brutal year.
Climate change is making itworse, with warmer than usual

(15:23):
spring temperatures.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
And when pollen come in earlier, in higher
concentrations.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Look at last week.
We had record highs in theupper 80s, yeah, and there was
no rain until Saturday night,yeah, and I've never seen it
that thick on my vehicle, Idon't think on the ground.
And there were people at theSnead game on Saturday talking
about man, my head is killing me.
I've always had allergies,allergies, but never this bad
before.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, you should see my porch.
My porch is painted black andit's just a solid yellow.
Yeah, so there's footprints,like it would be in the snow,
like footprints in the pollen.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
It's wild.
Hopefully this rain will getrid of some of it for a day or
two.
Then it's going to come backagain probably tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yeah, it's going to come back.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
It is yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Where's it come from.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Well, trees, flowers blooming.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
I mean I know that, but like, how is it everywhere?

Speaker 1 (16:14):
I don't know it's so bad everywhere.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Everywhere.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
I don't even have trees in the yard where I live
and it's still all over my car.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
I don't have many trees and my porch is covered.
I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
They just fall from the sky.
The pollen fairy, I guessbrings it in.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yeah, that's what it is.
I guess it's a pollen fairy.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
We'll have to get a gun out and chase down the
pollen fairy.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Lord had enough 631.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Have you ever considered trying something like
this?
No, seriously, why Do?

Speaker 2 (16:43):
you think my nerves could, knowing me, do you think
my nerves could handle that?

Speaker 1 (16:48):
No, no, because we had before the award show
started Saturday night.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Full panic attack.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
I stood outside the bathroom and greeted people for
ten minutes.
People come out they thought Iworked there.
Seriously, there was three guyswalking in and saying where's
the WH&T's table?
Oh, I said, hold on and I'llfind out for you.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Well, here's how it happened.
So we were outside and it waswarm.
I don't know what it is.
I have this thing about heat.
I don't know what it is.
I panicked it was very humid.
It was very humid.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
So we stood outside, we took pictures, yeah, and when
we were starting to walk in, Istarted getting dizzy, mm-hmm,
and I was like whoa, thisdoesn't feel right.

Speaker 5 (17:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
And then I started seeing stars and then my ears
started ringing, yeah.
And then you looked over at meand you said Holly, you're
sweating.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
You didn't look good at all.
No, I could tell you were not.
You never fake it, but I couldtell this is a real panic attack
.
I never fake it.
So we walked over to a quietplace in the room.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yeah, a little corner .

Speaker 1 (17:50):
And sat down and they let you catch your breath.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yeah, and then we walked to the bathroom and I'm
going to be honest with you, hadto.
Oh yeah, I took the whole thingoff.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
In the bathroom.
Sure, did you know?
They have cameras.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
No, they don't.
That's illegal.
Okay, but while you were outthere greeting people and
showing people to their tables,I was.
I was in there sweating andnobody knew I was just in there
like a jaybird.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
I had no idea, I did Wow okay.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
I got a paper towel and wet it down and was like
wiping my chest Was anybody elsein there?

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Yeah, they were fine with that no one saw me.
Oh, I thought you were justwalking around in front of the
mirror.
No, I got the napkin Over bythe hand dryer.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
No, I got it before I went into the stall.
I got it before I went into thestall.
Oh, okay, I shut the stall doorI was getting worried and then
just, have you ever been in thatsituation where you're like
I've got to take my, I've got tostrip down, yeah, yeah, like
panic or hot, or like what wasyour situation?

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Similar Like you just don't feel good.
These are burning up, like whenyou're sick and you've got to
get in the bathtub or somethingbecause you're just burning up.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah yeah, that was scary, but anyway, I was just
sitting there naked in front ofthousands of people and they
didn't even know it.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
Well, you were in the bathroom, so clarify that.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
It's not like you were standing in the hallway.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, Because you would have won an Abby for that.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
I guess, yeah, I would have.
What kind of Abby would youdare to give me Best?

Speaker 1 (19:20):
naked radio announcer , I guess I don't know.
But then the most embarrassingprofessional moment happened at
the Abbey's.
That was so embarrassing itshouldn't have been.
It was.
You need to see the videobecause everybody I guess you
don't touch the microphone.
We'd already won a couple.

(19:40):
I went up there and I wasyou're talking and we won for
best, best morning show do youthink they tilted it down a
little bit for my hot?
I don't know, because it wastilted down.
So when I walked up and therewas a very serious moment,
serious speech, so I grabbed themicrophone, you can see it, and
I was going to turn it up justa little bit towards my face.
And when I when I grabbed themicrophone and I grabbed the
microphone holder at the sametime, and jumped out it squirted

(20:03):
out of the microphone holder,out of my hand, because the
other hand I had the abby awardand I couldn't grab it.
And it shot out in front of me,close to almost hit the table
in front of us and bounce aboutthree times and that's like the
most embarrassing moment becauseI I didn't have a microphone
and everybody went and you canlook.
I look over at sh, at Sharon,at DMC, and she looked at me

(20:24):
like I don't want to have ananswer on this one.
Go get it.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Well, and then Ariel Wilswap said that one of the
other on the other side.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
we're bringing you the microphone from that side,
but the photographer Jumped upand grabbed it and walked over
and handed it to me real quickand I appreciated that because I
was about to have to go downthe stage and get it.
That was so embarrassing.
So somebody said why didn't youwait and drop the mic after
your speech?
So I did the reverse drop themic moment.
I dropped it before my speech.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
You knew it was going to be so good you just went
ahead and dropped it.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
That was so embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
What if we did that?
What if we would have walkedout and said Thanks for the
Abbey boom?

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Boom and then, oh, we need to make a speech, let's go
ahead and get it.
I don't know, but if you wantto see the videos of our Abbey
Awards which we had.
It was a special night andwe'll talk more about what
happened in a few minutes, butwe were lucky enough and blessed
enough to win four awards,including Best Morning Show, and
it could have been sweeter.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
And we'll talk about that coming up.
But first it's news weathermore is coming up.
Mornings with Barry and Hollyhere on Alabama's country giant
WQSB In the meantime, a lot ofstuff going on.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
How about a Minecraft movie?
Talking to our staff movieexpert Stone last night, who
works at Premier Cinemas, hesaid every single show in the
head sold out.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Let me tell you something yeah my daughter went
with her dad, yeah, friday night.
He said that's the most funthat he he's in his 40s yeah
he's ever had in a long time.
He said all the kids were justscreaming and yelling and
clapping and loving it, havingthe best time ever.
And there is a famous childYouTuber that died in real life.

(22:11):
No, that was a famous Minecraftplayer that live streamed and
they honored him in the movieand whatever his name was I
don't remember his username, butit says so-and-so never dies.
That's so sweet.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Whatever his name was , I don't remember his username
but it says so-and-so never dies.
Well, someone said it was soweird because there are certain
parts when favorite parts of thekids they will all clap and
cheer yeah, and they know whenit happens.
And they said this is crazy,yeah, that they're so involved
in the movie.
I know, and I noticed lookingout the window at Lucas
yesterday parking lot full.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
When we drove by for the Abbeys it was packed, Not a
spot open.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
So between that and the Chosen is what I'm
understanding.
Those two movies are packing inthe theater.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, so a Minecraft movie earned $157 million during
the opening weekend.
It's the best opening of theyear so far and the best opening
for a video game adaption ever.

part 2, brought in $6.7 million.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
People have seen that are so emotional, saying it's
dealing with the Last Supper asthey get closer and closer to
the Rapture.
Yeah, and so they say that thisone is so well done and it's so
beautifully done part one andtwo and they'll be on TV on the
Chosen coming up in just a fewdays.
Oh Well, they show it in thetheater so you can see it on the
big screen first.

Oh okay, chosen has a free appyou can download.

I can't read, I can't even seemy boys playing rugby and soccer
.

Speaker 1 (24:10):

executive order to delay the lawthat effectively bans TikTok.
I mean, it talks about apossible buyout.
The order will postponeenforcement of the TikTok sell

(25:37):
or ban law for 75 days.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
So at least 75 more days.
So they try to fix this.
I don't think we're going toget rid of TikTok, but they
enjoy to get it fixed and quithaving these.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
I know Quit doing this.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Telling us it's going to end this weekend.

They need to quit being jerked around Are we going

.
We got a couple of them.
I mean, they were part of theshow over the past 12 months,
for sure so the morning show.
We were lucky enough and blessedenough to win uh best morning
show in the state and I wascompletely shocked yeah, I

(26:39):
really was I was too.

Speaker 5 (26:40):
I know I wasn't so sure because you guys this it
last year.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
This is Rachel, by the way, and Rachel was part of
the show over the past year,part of the station for many
years, and you looked nice.
Saturday night Everybodydressed up nice.
I thought yeah we did.
It's weird because we didn'tplan this, but we almost all
wore black.
Yeah, we all wore black.
Except for Drew Drew he.
He's blue, he's true, yeah, butwe're doing our black outfit in
case we had to do the morningshow M-O-U-R-N-I-N-G, in case we

(27:05):
didn't win, we were going toall be dressed In the morning,
yeah.
So the Abbey Awards.
It was a nice night for theradio stations and I'm so happy
for the Curringtons.
They couldn't be there, I thinkit's an honor to win something
for them, for their radiostations.

Speaker 5 (27:22):
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
So we won four on a Saturday night.
So what are your thoughts onthe night?
It was a big night, wasn't it?

Speaker 5 (27:27):
It was a big night.
I thought it was a well-put-onevent, yeah, and I think we all
enjoyed ourselves, had a goodtime and I'm just thrilled about
the Abby's we won.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
I'm too yeah, oh, you may get a bill for a microphone
.

Speaker 5 (27:45):
Oh yeah, the mic dropped.
I totally forgot about the micdrop.
Will said boo yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
The most embarrassing part of my career, and you're
behind me fist bumping.
I was going, yeah, and then Ihear Will booing me out in the
crowd.
I was like mic drop.
If you haven't seen the video.
The video of us winning theaward is on our Facebook page.
It was an emotional moment andyou did a fantastic speech that
I walked over and I was going toadjust the microphone and move

(28:13):
it up.
I wonder why nobody hadn'ttouched it all night.
Now I know why, Because when Ibarely moved it I squeezed it it
fell and it shot out of my hand.
And it hit the ground.
But we were talking on the wayhome and, I'll be honest,
something told me that that wasmeant to happen, and here's why,
as we were walking up, theywere playing our music, a part
of our show, and when it stopped, I could still hear people

(28:34):
talking.
Which things like this.
They don't pay attentionsometimes, they're just kind of
doing their own thing.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
They're serving dinner.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
They're doing things.
So they're doing things.
So you gave your part of thespeech, which was fantastic.
When I dropped the mic it'slike when the mic hit I heard
some and then, after they pickedit up, the room was completely
quiet.
It was you could hear amicrophone drop.
You really could and theneverybody turned around and
looked it's like it almost wasmeant to grab their attention so

(29:01):
they could hear something thatI was going to say.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
Yeah, Because last year, when which?

Speaker 1 (29:05):
really is what I don't happen.
It's almost meant to be.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Last year, when we won the Abbeys, you didn't want
to speak.
No, you didn't say anything.

Speaker 5 (29:11):
No.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
I just walked up and said thank you.
Thank you, ms Currington and MrCurrington.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
And thank you ABA with aba.
But this year we said, okay,we're both gonna speak and talk
about yours well, yours, well,let's bring will into here too.
We were talking on the way homeand, uh, what you said was so
nice and I appreciate that youuh commented what.
Tell them basically what yousaid, or will can if you don't
feel comfortable in talkingabout it, but it was very nice.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
But when you went up first, well, uh, holly had just
mentioned how, um, you know howthis year has has been tough, uh
, and also that, uh, you make iteasier for her each and every
day, and I think you make iteasier for all of us.
Uh, each and every day, um, andI think you make it easier for
all of us each and every day.
I also think our dress attirerepresented kind of the year.

(30:09):
We were all black and blue.
You know this year's been tough,but you know, and what you said
, barry, I think resonated witheverybody.
I mean, when you have yourpeers and broadcasters
throughout the state give you astanding ovation for what you

(30:29):
said, that speaks volumes.
And the fact that you knowy'all two have won a
back-to-back award and that'svery uncommon unless you're the
radio station down in Auburn,apparently, that's true, but the
fact that y'all won an award,that's rarely done back-to-back,

(30:50):
and I think too, barry, withyour situation three years ago,
it still resonates today becauseit still affects people every
day.
And the fact that both of y'allare affecting lives daily, not
here just at the station, butout there across the airwaves.
I mean, we're covering nearlyone million people in the state

(31:15):
and they love to hear y'allevery morning.
They love seeing y'all out inthe community.
So I think this award is verydeserving.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Deserving, I appreciate that, because it was
very emotional and what holly'sgone through over the past year.
We don't give a lot of detailsand we're not going to and that
I've been through over the pastthree years, but mainly three
years ago.
But for the past year, forholly, didn't it a lot to me to
win, because holly has beenthrough so much and you still
come in here every morning andyou leave your troubles at the

(31:47):
door, like we've talked aboutfrom day one, because we people
sometimes don't most times don'twant to hear sad things yeah
occasionally we do talk aboutthe emotional things, but for
the most part they want you tocheer them up, and that's what I
want.
When I hear a morning show, yeah, make me smile, make me laugh.
But you've done that.
You've walked in, even thoughyou're not before.
Might have been the mosthorrible night ever, you put it

(32:07):
to the side, came in and youentertain the, the listeners
yeah every day yeah, I pulled itup.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
I'm.
I want to play the clip of yourspeech.
I'm going to go ahead and playthat sorry about that.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
I want to try to get through this real quick.
But, uh, I never thought I'd behere wanting to work at a
morning show.
Three years ago I was gettingready to leave the house to do
the morning show and I found myson lying on the floor and he
died of an accidental fentanyloverdose.
And at that time I thought Icould never do radio, or

(32:42):
especially a morning show.
But we were never promised notto have bad days or bad times
here on earth.
By God.
God never promises that.
He promises he would be besideus and he would help us through
all of our bad days.
So weeks later I decided Iwanted to try again.
So I went back to work and,thanks to God, he lifted me up
and gave me a chance to go backand do what I love and that's

(33:05):
make people smile.
And for Holly, my best co-hostever, I said I want to go back
and do this and to win this.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
After what happened three years ago.
I just don't give up.
No matter what happens, godwill be with me.
And then you got the onlystanding ovation of the night.
I know of the night.
I know, I know I have chills.
I know we talk about reed a lotand I think I don't think I had

(33:31):
anything to do with reeds andbarry's healing, but I don't
think that barry really spokeabout reed a lot before.
No, we the show together.
I think that I showed Barryit's okay to talk about what

(33:52):
happened and to honor him and Ithink that through our private
conversations outside of theradio, um, you know we've talked
about him a lot and barry knowsthat he's meant to honor his
son and I think that that wassuch a such a good way that you

(34:15):
did on saturday night well, itwas very emotional yeah and will
.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
When we left the stage uh, we had our picture
we're supposed to.
Then I went to the bathroom.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
When I come out, will was standing there and that
meant a lot well, I thought Isat down and I said barry went
to the bathroom, he's emotionaland will just immediately stood
up and didn't say anything toanybody, just stood up and went
to and found you and I thinkthat you know the people that
were there that night at theaward show are people that

(34:50):
really support us and love usand care about us and I'm
thankful that the people thatcame with us were there I agree
it was a good night it was.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
You couldn't have picked a better table full of
people no, you couldn't becausethey were all there for the
right reason yeah, they were tosupport the company.
Yeah, and it meant a lot to winsomething, to win four for the
company yeah, it did and youknow this job is hard.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
I know that, um, you guys working out there
construction and you guysworking out there in factories
and plants I know you've got ithard being a single mom having
to do it all.
It's like in that moment all ofthat melted away and it was

(35:54):
worth it.
It's worth it because I thinkwe can help people change.
We can change people's lives.
They tell us we set the tonefor their morning or we make
them smile when they've had abad day or a bad week, or that.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
Those are the comments that mean everything to
us when we're out and peoplesay you impact my life well, me
and rachel and we'll have talkedabout this before you don't
give yourself enough credit whatyou've been through the past
year.
That's why winning it this yearmeant more to me than awards.
I've been lucky enough to win acouple in my career, but this

(36:33):
one meant it was special Becauseyou had a horrible year.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
I really did.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
And to put aside what you're going through and come
in and do what you do.
That's why this award means themost to me.

Speaker 5 (36:46):
Yeah, it really does.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
Because you deserve it.
Health scares and issues.
I've had surgeries.
I've had the hardest thing youcould ever imagine happen with
your children, other than death.
Yeah, it felt like a death.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
But you still came in every single day and Rachel's
talked about it and Will'stalked about it.
If you're listening you cantell.
And that's a professional andthey honored you Saturday night
and you deserved it.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
They honored us.

Speaker 5 (37:19):
Yeah, it's you, and me, it's you they honored us.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Yeah, it's you and me .
It's you and me, barry.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
Yeah, Well, I'm glad we won the award and it's an
honor to win it for the company.
Yeah, Because at Currenton youcouldn't work for any better
people.

Speaker 5 (37:32):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
Yeah, and I'm glad you were there, rachel.
I'm glad Will was there.
It didn't mean a lot to us tohave y'all there, wouldn't have
missed it.
It was fun, it was.
It was a lot of fun.
If you want to watch the videoof the, the famous, mic drop.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
That's still the most embarrassing thing I've ever
done.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
Yeah, that was great, yeah I'm gonna kick my own butt
.
I said what?
Oh my god, yeah, I just wishyou could?

Speaker 2 (37:53):
I wish you could have seen me fist bumping?
Yeah, I did, because I was likeyeah you dropped the mic.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
Yeah, and will booed me Mic drop.
Thank you so much, and you canhear it.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
You can hear it on the video.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
He goes boo, it was perfect, the whole thing was
perfect.
I wouldn't change a thing.
I wouldn't either.
Yeah, no, all right.
Thanks Rachel, thanks Will,it's 7.58.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
WQSB.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
Morning.
A record-breaking year forpollen.
For many reasons it's beenwarmer than usual this time of
year, extremely warmer, and Ibelieve it.
Saturday we were at Snead andthose vehicles were covered.
It was just awful.

Speaker 4 (38:32):
One thing, and I talked to Ariel yesterday about
it If you notice some of thesedogwoods and these azaleas and
everything, the blooms on themare more full, they're more
brighter and all those bushesare more full.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
So I guess the pollen would contribute to that, and
some of the experts say that thewinds have been so strong
lately.
If you notice, we've had20-mile-an-hour winds about
every day.
It's blowing in pollen fromother areas, other parts of the
states.
That's crazy.
We're getting their pollen.

Speaker 5 (38:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
And we were talking.
It was a big weekend, anemotional weekend, had a great
time Saturday and Saturday nightand we were talking.
That was very emotional for youWill yeah, so you're on air in
our prayers this weekend and Iknow yesterday was a hard day
for you and your family.

Speaker 4 (39:12):
Yeah, it was.
You know, a year ago for thoseof y'all listening I lost my
daughter, shockingly lost mydaughter, shockingly lost my
daughter.
And yesterday, of course, wedid some reminiscing on the good
memories and all that.
But at the same time we had acelebration because her body is

(39:36):
healed and she's not having toface those daily challenges.
And for y'all, those dailychallenges for the past year
have been difficult.
It's been difficult on a lot ofus, but surrounding yourselves
with people like yourselves, itjust makes the days very easy or
able to manage them better, Iwould say.

(39:58):
And like I said yesterday, itwas emotional but at the same
time it was a celebrationbecause we were fortunate to
make it as long as we did withher and we appreciate that.
And God giving us the strengthto make it through it definitely
shows his power and how hisdaily works in us help.

(40:23):
And you know, holly, I know,with your situation going from
being in, you know the world'scoming to an end, but now look
at the rewards and awards.
You're reaping the benefits.
Everything's going into yourfavor, staying in his way,
staying faithful to him and trueto him, and he's blessing you.

(40:43):
I mean he through that, throughthat tough season.
He's blessing you andeverything that you can possibly
do and same time with you,barry, yeah, giving you the
strength you know you weretalking about the mic drop that
could have calmed you to be ableto get through it.
You know like give you thatlittle that you probably
wouldn't have said or been ableto get through it.
You know like give you thatlittle that you probably
wouldn't have said or been ableto get through.

(41:03):
I think it really did and andthat set the tone.
But you know, seeing everythingin hindsight, you're like god,
thank you, thank you foreverything that you did, and
especially with with cameron.
Unfortunately, on the worldlystage I've fostered, but the but
the eternal stage she healedand I can't wait to see her.
And thank y'all for doing whaty'all do.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
It's easy to say that Some people say, like Reap has,
well, he's in a better placenow.
It's easy for somebody to say,when they haven't lost that
person, right, that is true,that part is true.
But the fact that they're nothere, that's it's a daily.
It's a daily struggle.
That's why I know you had atough time, because we've talked
and there are dates that'sgoing to hit you and bring up

(41:45):
memories anniversaries, the dayof her birthday, the day that
she passed, the day that you didthis, the day that there's
certain dates that you can'texplain it, grief.
You can't get past it.
You just got to somehow dealwith it.

Speaker 4 (41:58):
It's so hard, it is, and it's a daily struggle you
somehow deal with it and it's sohard it is and it's a daily
struggle.
You know if it's a smell or ifit's a TV show or if it's a
sound, and it's like youimmediately go back and then you
start, your mind gets racing tothat day and you're like you
know what could I have donedifferent or what more I could
have done, but it is.

(42:21):
It's a daily struggle to getthrough and I know there's a lot
of people out there that canunderstand and relate to that
and I think that's how youresonate with people and, holly,
I know that's how you resonatewith people.
And you know, in all things youjust got to give glory to God
because you know he allows usand sets up a platform.

(42:43):
Barry, saturday, you had aplatform, yeah, and you
acknowledged God and told Godthrough your experience, like
you're going to have the harddays, but he's going to be with
you through it all.
And he continues to do that.
And the same thing with you,holly, and anybody listening out
there.
God's given you the opportunityeach and every day to choose
him.
So do it, especially in thisworld, because I do.

(43:06):
I want to.
I have my tough days, you know.
I ask my questions why, why,why, absolutely?
But there's so much peace inwhat he has planned for us.
We may not know it today, wemay not know it tomorrow, but he
has planned for us.
We may not know it today, wemay not know it tomorrow, but he
, he has a greater plan for usand we got to choose him.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
And you're going to have those struggles and barry,
you and I've had thoseconversations I was thinking on
the way into work this morningthat, uh, honestly, what I said
saturday night, there's more Iwanted to say, but it was hard
enough to get through that partof it.
But I would not have been ableto come back to work had God not
been there.
He gave me the strength becauseI was done.

(43:46):
I even told Mrs Kerrington whenwe talked.
I said I can't do this anymore.
But over time I think God gaveme the strength to come back.
We wouldn't have won that awardSaturday night without God's
help.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (44:05):
And he gives you the strength every day, yeah, and he
puts people in your lives.
He's put y'all in my life forthat season that I've been
through.
Hopefully I would hope that heput me in y'all's life through
y'all's seasons that y'all havebeen through.
Hopefully I would hope that heput me in y'all's life through
y'all's seasons that y'all havebeen through.
But it's all like I said, inhindsight it's like a reality

(44:30):
that you're like, oh, now I seewhy you've done that, because
now you can get through anything, holly Perry.
You can get through what you'vebeen through Because you're
strong and like your speechsaturday, it didn't have to be a
long five ten minute speech.
Your minute was probably.
Your speech was probably lessthan a minute, but it resonated

(44:52):
with everybody and everybodyagreed and that was the platform
that he gave you and youanswered your call, holly.
You answer your call at threeo'clock in the morning to get
here and come in and do what youdo, despite of what all you're
going through.
Y'all are answering the calland honoring him and and that's
that's.
All we can do is just answerour call and honor him and

(45:14):
acknowledge him for the greatthings that he's put into our
lives, because I wasn't surewhat I was saying, if anybody
was even listening.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
But at the very, very end, when they showed up, I
just said, yeah, I should havedone this.
Yeah, it was meant to be, yeah.

Speaker 4 (45:33):
And for me yesterday was really difficult, really
difficult, and I know noteverybody understands, but the
people that have been through itthat have understand.
I got probably three textmessages yesterday out of all
the people that I know, all thepeople that pray for us and help

(45:55):
us.
I got three text messages.
One of them was from you, barry, because you know and I know
it's difficult to understandthat you know what somebody goes
through like that.
It's hard to say something ordo something, but just pray.
You don't have to necessarilytell somebody something, just
pray.
And those people like you Barrythat message me, that

(46:19):
understand, that just adds to itthat you know there are people
out there that do care and dounderstand what you're going
through and I appreciate you somuch I can't even begin to
describe how much I appreciatey'all.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
Well, I knew you needed to hear something because
I told you, sometimes peopledon't know what to say, right,
sometimes you don't even knowyou're even close to saying the
right thing, but just saysomething.
Yeah, sometimes sayingsomething and showing up for
somebody means more thananything.
That you say yeah, just show upfor them.
Yeah, just be there forsomebody, and whether it's a
word or pat on the back or a hug, that means everything yeah,

(46:55):
and, and you know you say inthat after your speech go into
the bathroom and just be inthere.
I walked out and you were there.
Yeah, that meant everything tome, because Holly, we hugged on
stage, because she was there theminute I finished talking, and
that meant more to me than I canever tell you.
That was about the lowest partof my I've been in a while, but

(47:18):
you walked over and lifted me upbecause you cared and that
matters, and we care about you.
That's why this award is yours.
I know we did it together, butthat's for you.
You had a terrible year andthat shows you you did not go
through the year in vain.

Speaker 4 (47:33):
You did it to help people and you did, and God gave
you the strength, no matter thedoubts that you may have had or
the uncertainty that you mayhave had.
He did it and he gave it to youand gave you the strength to
get through it.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
Yeah, yeah, thank you .

Speaker 4 (47:58):
What a Monday it's an emotional day.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
but it's an emotional day, but it's a good day,
because just know that, nomatter at your lowest point, if
you think you cannot get throughit, don't give up.
You just keep believing in Godand he will get you through it.
Amen to that.
It's tough, I mean.
Some days are like yesterdaywas an anniversary.
It's probably the hardest dayand it's hard to explain to
people who haven't been throughit, but it really sucks.

Speaker 4 (48:23):
Well.
And yesterday, the weather, youknow, it's like God's crying
with us.
Yeah, you know, even though itwas raining and wet and I know
there's a lot of stuff going on,it's really kind of fitting for
the scenario and situation that, hey, you know, heaven's

(48:44):
morning along with us, but atthe same time there's
celebration in heaven and that'swhat we pray for to get to.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Yeah, we're going to bury you in some track pants and
some laced up shoes, because weknow you're going to be running
as soon as you hit those gates.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, at leastthat's what.
I'm trying to live running assoon as you hit those gates.

Speaker 4 (49:01):
Yeah, at least that's what I'm trying to live for and
pray for.

Speaker 1 (49:05):
We do a great job and you're part of this show too.
You're part of that award too.
We're sitting over therebecause you come in every day
and some days you don't want tobe in here either, I'm sure like
probably today it was not yourbest day.
I'm sure you'd rather be homejust getting over yesterday, but
you still put on your shoes andcome on in.

Speaker 4 (49:23):
Yeah, well, and I see y'all's success, I see y'all's
potential, I see this radiostation's effectiveness and
potential and you know, y'alljust make it easier coming in
here each and every day.
So thank y'all, and same thingfor the listeners.
You know, in here each andevery day, so thank y'all, and
same thing for the listeners.

(49:43):
You know, yeah, um, even thoughI just come on for my short
little you know 10 minute spiel,you hear so many people saying
hey, I heard you, and then theyhear y'all and what we've talked
about.
So I mean better, yeah,absolutely, you make a
difference you encourage people.

Speaker 1 (49:55):
No, you do you encourage people yeah I'm
looking at the comments nowpeople watching on facebook live
and people.
We do this job for one reasonto make people smile.
Yeah, and if we can.
I know this may be more of adowner today, but we're just
trying to.
If you're going throughanything, the main part of this
little break is don't give up.
Yeah, it's going to be hard toget through and you you're not
going to feel good for a whileif something happens, but

(50:17):
eventually that's today.

Speaker 4 (50:19):
The sun may not come up outside, but it will tomorrow
, yeah, and you know those thatare listening out there send a
message to somebody, like youdid yesterday, barry, just a
word of encouragement, or just Ilove you, or you know to me
that just reaching out and beingthere and showing up speaks so
much, and I just, you know, givea call to action to everybody

(50:42):
out there, just, even if it's asevered relationship or, you
know, a relationship that's onthe rocks.
Or just just send a message andtell somebody, hey, I'm
thinking about you today andthat I love you.
And if you don't feelcomfortable sending sending them
something, pray for them, yeah,because we all could use them.
I know for sure I could usethem every single day.

Speaker 1 (51:04):
Yeah, I agree.
My main thought one last thingSaturday night here's the way I
look at it is show up for peoplethat you care about, because
God shows up for you every day.
If you care about somebody,show up for them and be there
for them For sure, in some waylet them know.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
So thank them know.
Yeah, so thank you will.
We appreciate you.
Thank you all right, it's 8, 24mornings with barry and hall
