Speaker 1 (00:00):
This November, we will have Should I make it this
far and in the next few minutes, I'm putting that
in peril. But should our marriage survive until November second,
that will be our twenty second wedding anniversary. Right now,
(00:20):
people are doing the math, going how old is Scott?
I thought he was either seventeen years old or eighty seven.
There doesn't seem to be any middle ground in that.
But yeah, twenty two years of marriage, Absolute bliss. What
are you laughing at you? Listen?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Was the first twenty five? You had three years left? Buddy?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yeah? Honestly, I I was going to bed, I was
falling asleep last night. I was thinking about my dumb
kids and just laughing, you know, And I was I
was remembering at the time where I met this woman
who was my wife and the mother of these these
dumb kids. And when I met her, I was immediately smitten.
(01:10):
She was unlike anyone I'd ever met before, because she
just was She could She balanced me so well. When
I was feeling goofy, she'd kind of bring me back
to center. And when I'm feeling down, she would be
(01:30):
like so over the top goofy. And I didn't know
what I was dealing with at anytime there. She once
walked into she grabbed like a barstool in my apartment
and one of my belts, and came at me like
a lion tamer, you know, with the like the stool
and then like whipping the belt towards me. If you're
thinking like that sounds like a kinky game, No, it's
(01:53):
just she's just a goofball. But then if if it's
time to get serious. She's so heartfelt, she's so empathetic
and such a wonderful person. And it's just all of
that that makes her my best friend. And I'm so
lucky to be able to call her my wife.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Oh you're gonna make me cry.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Well, that is the sweetest to say that.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Your spouse centers you. That is like the greatest compliment.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
She's an amazing part.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
She is a wonderful woman.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
And I should I should tell you that I am
setting it up this way one because it's true, and
also because I'm about to dunk on her.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
So is this where I need to stop?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
You stop? Oh? No, on this one. I asked last night,
can I talk about this in the radio? And she
went yes, because she knew I was going to anyway,
all right, I will say this though, I'm going I'm
falling asleep last night, and I'm thinking about when I
first met her. I thought all those things, but I
(02:58):
was not going to be in a serious relationship with
her because eleven ten am contacted me and offered me
a job. Like, wait a second, I thought, when you
met you guys been married for a while. No, not
this one news talk eleven ten WBT Charlotte called me
(03:21):
and offered me a job. Nice weather there, and is
Charlotte's beautiful. Yeah, And I said I'm not really interested.
And they said, we'll fly you out and you can
do a couple of nights worth of shows for us.
We want you to be the evening voice of WBT.
And I went out there. I breathed in the Charlotte air.
(03:43):
I'd never seen the ocean before, so I rented a
car head all afternoon, drove to Myrtle Beach, past Darlington,
saw the speedway, drove to Myrtle Beach, saw the ocean
for the first time in my life, took a look
at it, walked around a little bit and said, all right, well,
I got to get back. It's a couple of hours.
It was kind of a waste of a day. But
I didn't know if I'd ever see the ocean again.
(04:04):
I didn't know. Went back, did the radio show on
WBT and was taking calls at night on that eleven
ten signal, the eleven ten clear channel signals. They're designated
by the government too. If they have emergency messages. They
just want to get on one amplitude and be able
to talk to the entire country. And that's why eleven
(04:25):
ten kfab's fifty thousand watts. We get the central and
West and then the eastern seaboard and everything is eleven
ten AMWBT. So I'm taking calls from people from Allentown, Pennsylvania,
to Miami, Florida, and I thought, this is awesome. This
is where I want to be. Little problem kind of
(04:48):
like this girl in Kansas City I just started dating,
but no big deal. You know, I'd already kind of
kept her at arm's length because I started talking with
the radio station before I met her, and so I
didn't emotionally let myself get involved because there was no
future there. And then whatever reason the thing with the
(05:15):
radio station, probably it fell through. They couldn't get it
to work. It wasn't going to happen. I've always had
this nagging doubt that I was so bad when I
went out there that they said we're not going to
put him on the radio. I don't know what to
get anyone, that idea that I would say anyway, that
didn't work out. So what I got from it was
a Charlotte Hornet's duffel bag and an opportunity to see
(05:38):
where this relationship with this girl was going to go.
That was late winter two thousand and one. And what
a blessing that I didn't get that job. No offense
to that radio station or that community, but what a blessing.
(06:00):
So we've been together now for twenty three and a
half years, been married for almost twenty two years, and
during this entire relationship, this is the first time that
I get a chance to say I was right about
something and she admit. And here's the other part, and
(06:23):
she admitted she was wrong.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I like to see that you're really milking this thing
because it might be the only time.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yep. And I'm not gonna tell you what it's about, Scott, No,
I'm kidding. Here's what it's about. That'd be mean, though,
wouldn't it. Yeah, nice story. I'm not gonna tell you
what it's about. No, No, I am absolutely gonna tell
you what it's about. It started with something my son
was doing. We don't usually keep pop around the house,
(06:55):
which is amazing because I used to drink like eight
Mountain dews day. Now I just use meth. But so
we don't keep a lot of pop around the house.
But every once in a while we have some drinks,
and usually they would be down in the pantry in
the basement. I think they're plenty cold enough. But my son,
(07:18):
he said, I want this a little colder. So I'm
going to take this can or bottle of soda or
lemonade or whatever it is that they got, and I'm
going to put it in the freezer. And I said,
that's a bad idea, because once you put it in
the freezer, what is the potential that what could happen?
(07:38):
You forget You forget that it's in the freezer. And
if you forget that, you've got a carbonated fizzy beverage
in the freezer and suddenly it freezes and that liquid
turns to solid and it expands. Then you've got a
busted aluminum can or plastic bottle.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Is that what they call it?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Pop it all over the freezer and you've got a
big mess. You've got a big mess to clean up.
I'm not cleaning it up. But he said no, no,
I won't forget. I said, that's rolling the dice and uh,
you know, but my wife said, ah, it's not a
big deal. I do that once in a while. And
(08:16):
I said, you're just you're playing with fire here. You're
playing with fire like. My son's like, there's no fire
in the freezer. Dad, You're an idiot. My wife's like, yeah,
you're an idiot. So I get home yesterday and see
a bowl of ice ice cubes in a bucket near
(08:36):
the sink and there's a sign there that says, don't dump,
I'm letting the ice melt or something like that. So
my wife's not home at the time. I did what
any good husband would do. I took a picture of
it and posted it to Facebook and said, I just
found this. What do you think this is about? And
(08:58):
there are a few people that said she's probably testing
for contaminants in the ice maker. Once it melts, if
there's silt or something at the bottom, then you've got
potential contaminants in the ice. And it turns out that
was something along the lines, but I didn't. I just
posted on Facebook. After people had a lot of ideas
(09:19):
what that was about, including people saying, She's seen if
you can follow instructions? Since yesterday at this time on
the radio, you told the story about how she bought
Kramel vodka and told you not to drink it, and
you couldn't follow that instructions. You mixed the Kramel vodka
with strawberry lemonade and it wasn't the best drink ever,
and you still felt a little bit sick the next morning.
(09:41):
So She's seen if you can follow instructions. That was
my favorite response, but as it turns out, it did
have to do with potential contaminants. I see from my
wife had a bottle of some sort of non alcoholic beverage.
(10:02):
I've grabbed a bottle of something, and I don't know what.
She was drinking, some sort of sparkling ice or something
like that, and it was in a glass bottle. And
I think that she probably had it when she was
in one of her work appointments and it was in
the car and she comes home She's like, there's still
lots of drink here, or all the drink here, whatever,
(10:23):
I want it to be colder, and I am gonna
put it not only in the freezer, but on top
of all the ice cubes and the ice maker in
the freezer. Another thing, I've said, that's gross. Don't lay
that stuff down on top of the ice. And everyone said, ah,
what's your problem? So I mean, I live with animals.
(10:44):
I live with animals.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Well, so long as you know it, I'll skip to.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
The part where you already know where this story is going.
She forgot her glass bottle of liquid is in there.
Later she hears a kind of a popping cracking sound.
The liquid froze, it expanded, it broke the glass bottle.
Now we have glass in the ice, and she wanted
(11:11):
to make sure that she got all of the glass
that didn't explode. But there was a crack and a
breaking of glass in the freezer. So she took all
of the ice cubes, put them in a bucket and
let it melt all day so she could get the
little pieces of glass and compare them to make sure
that she got all the glass. She said, well, it's
(11:31):
a colored bottle. So it'd be easier to find. But
I want to make sure that there's no glass anywhere,
especially in the ice. So rather than just dump out
all the ice, she just wanted to be sure there
was no glass anywhere within the ice making components that
might be a problem or be like someplace stuck under
(11:52):
a bag of frozen Brussels sprouts or something. You go
in and you grab it and you go, ah, you know,
you stab yourself with the frozen broccoli. And she just
wanted to make sure she got it all. And as
she's telling me this, she's interrupting herself every few seconds, going,
I know, I know I should have set a timer
or a reminder, like you've said we should do. I
(12:15):
know you said we shouldn't do this. I'm just I'm
just taking it in. I'm like, this is never I
don't know how to react right now. This has never
happened before where I said, that's a bad idea. I
would prefer it if you guys didn't do it. Oh,
what do you know? And then I was proven right,
and I had a member of my family telling me
(12:36):
I was right about it. And I didn't gloat until
the last few minutes on the radio.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I just said, Okay, I'm still unclear on what she
was trying to do with melting that. Was she going
to put the bottle back together.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
No, she just wanted to make sure she got all
the glass if it's in the ice, rather and dig
through the ice and potentially cut your finger on glass,
you put all the ice, all the contents of that
into a bucket. It melts. Then you can see the
glass floating, which again is easy to do because it
was a colored bottle. And then you can be sure
because it was bigger pieces. You can be sure like, Okay,
(13:17):
this match is here, and this is this We got
all the glass. There's not extra glass somewhere in the
freezer or god forbid, somewhere like stuck in a tube
down in the ice maker.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
That will well makers, I don't know refrigerators. It's not
going to last long anyway.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I know, but we don't want it to be flushed
out and someone's drink and then you you're drinking ice,
you know. So that's she wanted to make sure she
got all the ice. She felt that was the best
way to do it.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
What I didn't find out from her is whether or
not she got all the ice because it was still
melting last night, which is amazing because I think the
house is way too hot all the time.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
But she's cold, so she could have just put the
bucket in the oven.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
You know, I hadn't considered that we can speed this
process along put it outside. Yeah, I didn't consider that.
So I just wanted to say I was right.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
You're very proud of yourself.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
This has your husband ever had the satisfaction I mean,
husbands have been right about things. I'm not saying this
is the only time I've ever been right about anything.
This is the only time I've ever been right about anything.
And my wife told me so. This is new territory.
This will probably never happen again. This is a one
(14:39):
in a million. And maybe I'm milking it a little bit.
Maybe I am. No, mister, you know what, this milk
is delicious Scottes Snooze Radio kfab
