April Fool's Day: Sorry Charlie, St. Stupid & the Boomer Bonus Nobody Asked For

(00:01) Here's today's B Team Redux. 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to Wednesday, April 1st. That's right. It's Hump Day, April Fool's Day, whatever way you want to look at it. (00:16) Yes, here we are in the middle of the work week. I'm Schuyler Black. He's Bobby Dewrell. The B Team Morning Show is on the air, brought to you by our friends at Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, as well as Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. And, Bobby, first thing we like to do each morning is take a look at our National Day calendar so we know what we're working with today. (00:39) First thing that popped up is Sorry Charlie Day. That's right. The annual reminder that knows a complete sentence. And your pity party's been denied a permit. Oh. How do you like that? I don't like that at all. Hey, Sorry Charlie Day is that beautiful little speed bump on the calendar where we pause to honor rejection, disappointment, and, well, the sacred American tradition of being told no with a smile stapled to your face. (01:06) See, it's a tribute to every closed door, every we went with another candidate, every text left on read like it's part of a government program. See, the whole point is to laugh at the sting, toast the bruises, and practice saying Sorry Charlie like you mean it. (01:25) Try again instead of crawling to the sea. See, you've got to stick around because once you start paying attention, you'll notice this holiday isn't once a year. It's basically a subscription. And it's celebrated by all but only children. (01:41) Exactly. No? I don't know what that means. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got a great freaking definition of no. Do you? Oh, God, yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah, I think I told you. I had an uncle convince me growing up that, you know, if we were ever somewhere and I wanted something, that all I had to do was kick my feet up and down and just fall out on the ground, kick my feet, beat my fist, turn my head side to side, and just holler no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, and then they'd have to do it. (02:13) Right. Your daddy got madder than hell. Yep. And I still have not forgiven my Uncle Ray for that. That's right, Uncle Rasmo. I'm calling you out. Well, he's not hearing it right now. (02:29) Oh, he will. He will. Listening over in Australia. All right, stay with us. We've got lots to get to. A full look at your forecast and local news later on in the hour as well. In the meantime, Foreigner, Hot Blooded, 100.3 KROCK. (02:46) David Bowie at Suffragette City on 100.3 KROCK, the Classic Rock Station. Happy Hump Day, everybody. Hope you're doing well. (03:01) I'm Schuyler Black. He's Bobby Dewrell. This is the B Team Morning Show. Just a quick reminder that coming up this weekend out on Okaloosa Island at the Boardwalk, Kitty Hawk Kites is going to be doing their annual Giant Kite Festival from 10 to 4 on both Saturday and Sunday. (03:17) So hopefully we have a little bit of a breeze for those kites to fly high, but some are going to be up to 100 feet in height. So, yeah, should be a lot of fun. They do this every spring, so you can find out more details on the events tab at thebteamshow.com. (03:33) But just if you're looking for something fun to take the kids to this weekend, there's an option for you. All right, Mr. Dewrell, continuing on this morning on our National Day Calendar search, we come up with this one. It's Boomer Bonus Day. (03:48) Oh, great. Yeah, when the folks who bought a house for a handshake get rewarded for surviving their own golden parachute. That kind of sums it up, doesn't it? Yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, if you think about it, it's just an annual celebration where the folks who bought a house for the price of a used lawnmower explain personal responsibility while cashing a check they swear that doesn't exist. (04:08) You know, look, don't worry if you didn't get one. You can always just, you know, pull yourself up by your bootstraps and go invent 1983 again. Whatever. You sound like a millennial, Bobby. Boomer Bonus Day is that beautiful, baffling holiday where we all pretend seniority is a renewable resource and, well, not just mileage on a bad suspension. (04:32) You know, the rules are simple. Anyone old enough to remember when phones were attached to walls gets a ceremonial perk. You know, a suspicious discount, a free upgrade they absolutely will not understand and will brag about anyway. You know, the rest of us clap politely, swallow our pride, and act like this isn't just society handing out little gold stars for surviving leaded gasoline and fax machines. (04:55) You know, it's absurd on purpose, and if you listen close, you can, well, you can hear the sound of everyone under 50 recalculating their retirement plan for out of pure spite. Amen. Amen. (05:10) All right, it's Boomer Bonus Day. Yeah, they've had their day. Let's move along. We're going to take a break. A look at your marine forecast is coming up in just a few moments right here on the B Team Morning Show with 100.3 KROCK. (05:28) There's the guess who in No Sugar Tonight on the B Team Morning Show with 100.3 KROCK. Hey, coming up on Friday, April 17th, that's two weeks from this Friday, it's going to be the third annual Fry It for a Cause Fish Fry Fundraiser for One Hopeful Place at Liza Jackson Park right here in Fort Walton Beach, and that includes free lunch. (05:49) Well, not free lunch. It's free if you buy the ticket, I should say. $20 a ticket gets you fish, fries, hush puppies, and coleslaw with all proceeds benefiting One Hopeful Place, and tickets are on sale now. You need to buy them in advance. Don't show up to the parking lot on Friday the 17th and say, I need a dozen dinners for my office. (06:08) No, you've got to have tickets in advance because, yeah, there's only so much food, but you can buy them online right now. Just go to thebteamshow.com, click on the Events tab, and we've got the link to get you over there. And get some Dewey Destin's fish. (06:24) Very good. Very good. Dewey Destin's doing all the catering for that event, and they always do a good job. That's right. Making light of the voice guy with his Dewey Destin's fish. That sounded terrible. (06:39) It did sound bad. It sounded bad. All right. Taking a look at the National Day calendar, we continue on. What the hell? National Atheist Day? Oh, great. Great. A holiday with no higher power. Yeah. Just the same lower expectations and the same old prayers to the coffee maker, I guess. (07:00) Look, I mean, I'll just say, is this when folks celebrate the sweet freedom of not owing anybody in the sky a thank you note? Look, don't worry. Don't worry. There'll still be plenty of preaching. Yeah, it's just going to come from a guy with a podcast mic and a superiority complex. (07:17) Those people. We all know them. It's National Atheist Day, and that's the annual little calendar prank where people celebrate the spiritual practice of not celebrating anything spiritual. Yeah, it's a holiday for folks who don't believe in higher powers but still believe in taking a day off to argue about it, preferably with coffee, a podcast, and the kind of certainty usually reserved for teenagers and weathermen. (07:42) You know, the rituals are simple. There's no prayers, no hymns, just a lot of smug silence broken by someone saying, actually, like it's a sacred word. You know, it's not here to convert you. It's here to warm up the room for the kind of conversations that start polite and end with somebody Googling what is a soul at 117 a.m. (08:07) That's National Atheist Day. That's a good one, Bobby. You like that one? Yeah. There you go. I told you you'd like that one. It's the B Team Morning Show, rocking and rolling this Wednesday, morning nonstop with Finn Lizzie. (08:22) Any money if I could walk on water. Which, you know, we just talked about Atheist Day. That's not something they would ever think would be possible. Well, they didn't say it's not possible. I just don't think it happened in the Bible. (08:38) Yeah. Well, you know, it reminds me of the old story about the three preachers that are out. You got a Catholic, a Baptist, and a Pentecostal preacher, and they're all out there and they're fishing. Sure enough, the priest is like, look, man, guys, I'm a little tired. (08:56) I'm just going to go in. So he just jumps over the side of the boat, walks across the top of the water, across the lake, goes down to a tree, and just starts to take a little nap. These guys were speechless. Yeah, about a half hour later, the Baptist preacher looks over at the Pentecostal one and says, man, listen, I know you're still having some luck out here, but I'm going to go join him. (09:18) He hops over the side of the boat, walks across the top of the water, and goes and leans up next to the tree. The Pentecostal minister is sitting in there, and he's thinking, you know, I'm kind of tired, but I can't just row the boat back in. I mean, these guys walked across water and went and, you know, I can't be that guy. (09:35) I've got to do the same thing. So he steps over the side of the boat and, boom, sinks right to the bottom. Comes up coughing, spitting, and sputtering, climbs back into the boat. Says, man, I don't get it. I'm just as spiritual as these guys. I pray. I spend my time with God. (09:51) I know. I'm a man of faith. I can do this. I can do this. He steps over the side of the boat, bam, to the bottom again. Gets back up, coughing, spitting, sputtering, climbs back in the boat. Bo gets on his knees and starts praying, Lord, I know I'm a spiritual man, show me, show me where I'm wrong, show me my way, show me how I, I can do this. (10:08) About that time the priest leans over to the Baptist minister and says, hey, think we should show him where the rocks are? Nobody ever accused Pentecostal ministers of being intelligent. Anyway. All right, well, that's what you get for speaking in tongues. (10:29) So that transition is us from Atheist Day over to, well, Schuyler's Day. It's not called Schuyler's Day. Yeah, well, I mean, basically, I mean, what is today? St. Stupid's Day. (10:44) Okay, tell me the difference. Hey, look, I'm just— I don't know where the joke was. I'm just saying it's the one holiday where everyone's qualified and the only tradition is doubling down like it's competitive sport, right? (11:01) Jesus. St. Stupid's Day is that annual civic service where grown adults put on costumes, march around like they're dignities on a smoke break, and, well, they call it tradition, so nobody has to admit that they just needed attention in public. (11:17) Look, it started with the Cacophony Society, which is basically what happens when pranksters discover paperwork and decide to weaponize it. The point is to celebrate stupidity. It's to drag it into the sunlight, give it a little parade permit, and, well, remind the rest of us we're only one bad decision away from joining the drumline. (11:40) So consider it a holiday for self-awareness, except self-awareness showed up late and, well, slightly overdressed. I think some folks were celebrating St. Stupid's Day last Saturday at the landing. You know, they had to work today, so they wanted to celebrate it on the weekend. (11:56) Okay. St. Stupid's Day. It's a real thing. Yeah. So is No King's Day. Do you think those guys, like, were supportive of the original No King's Rally known as the Revolutionary War? Probably. (12:12) I mean, you know what? If anybody had said, it but Trump. Exactly. It's so true. I think Trump should come out and say, hey, I've made a decision. I think we should absolutely raise taxes. (12:31) We should let anyone vote who can show up to the polls, and we should completely open our borders. Yeah. All of a sudden, they would be all anti those things. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. They would want voter ID. (12:46) They'd want to shut the border down. Yeah. He can play these idiots like a fiddle if he wants. Oh, man. All right. Well, let's take a break, pay a couple bills. The 7 o'clock hour is coming up. That wraps up your National Day calendar for today, Wednesday, April 1st. (13:02) April Fool's Day, too, folks. That's right. That's right. That's right. Where everything I say is true. Yeah. Bull. Oh, okay. Kyler's the smartest guy I know. Wow. Hey, screw you, man. (13:19) News is next. The Classic Rock Station, 100.3k rock. Good morning, everybody. It's kind of a froggy, misty Wednesday morning outside. 68 degrees is our current temperature. See, 79 is our high this afternoon, but believe it or not, eventually, this fog will burn off and lead way to partly sunny skies this afternoon. (13:42) We'll check that full forecast in just a little bit. The B Team morning show is on the air everywhere on 100.3k rock and streaming at krockfwb.com, sponsored by our friends. (13:57) That's right. Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, as well as Okaloosa Gas and Outcast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Hope everybody had a good Tuesday. It is Wednesday, April 1st, April Fool's Day. (14:12) So, yeah, if you hear anything that sounds a little bit suspicious today, take it with a grain of salt. Yeah. Just a heads up on that, because a lot of people forget, like, oh, yeah, somebody could be pulling my leg. And, yeah, you just look like a fool. So don't do what I did with Bobby during the 6 o'clock hour and, yeah, really think that he was giving me a compliment when he called me the smartest guy he knows, and then I realized it's April Fool's Day. (14:41) So not very nice, was it? Hey, this weekend on Saturday, it's the Final Four of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. You've got Arizona and Michigan and Illinois. Take it on Yukon. (14:57) Those are the two matchups. The winners of each of those games will face in the National Championship game on Monday night. So I'm pretty sure nobody out there has any perfect brackets left, because, yeah, it's just been a total crapshoot this year. (15:14) Maybe not by small Cinderella schools, but you've just had some higher-seeded schools or lower seeds that made a deep run that were totally unexpected. So I guess that's the modern Cinderella in the NIL era. (15:29) All right. Stay with us. Coming up later on this hour, we've got some local stories to get to. We've also got some national stories to get to, and an update on the whole Tiger Woods situation. Yeah, sad story there, but he is going to be taking some time away from golf to take care of himself, and I think that's probably a good idea. (15:51) We'll get all the details on that here in just a little bit. Full look at your forecast on the way in the next 10 minutes. Right now, Jeff Leppard, too late for love on the B Team Morning Show with 100.3 KROCK. This is the fog that we have in the area. (16:07) The mist that we have is going to be pushing out of here later on and actually leading way to mostly sunny skies and 79 degrees this afternoon. We'll look at your forecast for the rest of today and the rest of the work week coming up here in just a little bit. (16:22) Some wild news coming out of the Kristi Noem family. She got pushed out of the DHS Secretary role by President Trump about a month ago. (16:38) A new report surfaced yesterday and has alleged that the husband of the former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Byron Noem, has been leading a double life as a crossdresser. (16:53) This is wild. The report in the Daily Mail featured images of Noem's husband wearing hot pink underwear along with a skin-colored shirt with large fake breasts underneath. Now, he reportedly had a bimbofication fetish that focused on exaggerated sexual female appearance. (17:11) Byron praised their surgically enhanced bodies and confessed his lust for huge, huge, ridiculous boobs, in his words. Now, a former CIA officer noted that Byron's alleged secret life could have potentially led to blackmail while Noem headed the DHS. (17:29) Kristi Noem later appeared to confirm the authenticity of the image. She said the family was blindsided by this and they asked for privacy and prayers at the time. So, that is an interesting, interesting story. Yeah, and you almost wonder if there is any correlation between President Trump saying I don't need this in my administration and her departure. (17:53) So, anyway, very interesting news right there. Coming up later on in the hour, we're going to talk about how it's going to be a little bit more pricey to attend high school football, sporting games, and other athletic events across the county as the school board has voted to raise high school sport ticket prices this next coming school year. (18:16) More on that here in just a little bit. The B Team Morning Show is on the air, brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach on 100.3 KROCK. ZZ Top and Tush on the Classic Rock Station. (18:35) 100.3 KROCK. It's the B Team Morning Show. Appreciate you all dialing in on this Wednesday morning. 7.36 is the time. Be careful as you make those morning commutes today, folks. We have got some patchy fog out there and some low-lying areas along the water as well. (18:54) So, visibility may be reduced at times. Just give yourself a little extra time to make those morning commutes this morning and be watching out for other folks on the roadway because you just never know what the guy in front of you or the guy behind you or the left or right of you might be doing. So, just be a little extra alert this morning. (19:11) Ticket prices for high school athletic events in Okaloosa County are set to increase after approval from the Okaloosa County School Board, with the changes taking effect in the 2026-27 school year. Adult football tickets will rise from $8 to $10 at admission, and student tickets from $5 to $6. (19:32) While for all other sports, adult prices will go from $5 to $7, and student tickets will go from $4 to $5. School officials say the increases are driven by rising costs, with Charlie Morello noting significant expenses, such as $16,000 to recertify football helmets this year. (19:50) Administrators emphasize that while ticket revenue goes directly to each sports program, the increases will only partially offset costs, leaving the team still heavily in debt. on fundraising efforts. So anyway, yeah, isn't that crazy? High school football games gonna cost you 10 bucks a person to get in. (20:10) You used to be able to get in a whole family of four for 10 bucks. So just another effect of inflation that we've seen here in the U.S. since COVID. Just crazy. Alright, stick tight. Got more stories to get to this morning, plus Dan Diamond has a look at local news just about 10 minutes away. So stick tight with us. (20:30) We'll get to all that here in just a little bit. Right now, ELO. This is Strange Magic on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. There's Queen and Killer Queen on the B Team Morning Show. Brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Duvar, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. (20:50) Happy April Fool's Day one and all. Hope your Wednesday's off to a smooth start. I'm Schuyler Black. B Team Morning Show brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Duvar, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. And of course, the news about Tiger Woods' rollover crash on Friday dominated headlines this last weekend, but Tiger Woods is contesting the charges stemming from his recent rollover crash right here in the Sunshine State last week, and is stepping back from professional golf to address the situation. Now, he has pleaded not guilty to DUI-related offenses and requested a jury trial. (21:30) In a public statement following his arrest, Woods acknowledged the gravity of the circumstances and said he plans to take time away from the sport to focus on treatment and his health. The accident occurred near his home when the SUV overturned after colliding with another vehicle. Authorities reported signs of impairment, though he tested negative for alcohol and said he had taken prescription medication. (21:54) Hopefully Tiger gets the help and attention that he needs. This is two major accidents for him in the last 15 plus years. Not great for his image, so hopefully he can address that. We're going to take a break and pay a couple bills. The 8 o'clock hour is just around the corner, and first we're going to take a look at local news. Dan Diamond has that coming up now on 100.3 KROCK. (22:22) 8 o'clock on a Wednesday morning. April Fool's Day. Our favorite fool, Bobby. Not here for the second half of the show this morning. He'll be back with us on the air tomorrow. If we can get him out of bed. (22:38) 69 degrees and overcast skies. Some patchy fog in low-lying coastal areas right now. High today is 79 this afternoon. We'll see some sunshine, though, peeking through the clouds after the lunch hour today. That full forecast is coming up in just a little bit. (22:54) I'm Schuyler Black. This is the B Team Morning Show, and we come your way every morning from 6 until 9 right here on 100.3 KROCK. Of course, we're sponsored by our friends at Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Later on this week, we'll be drawing for a winner of those tickets to go see Styx and Foghat live in Biloxi here in about 10 days. (23:22) I've got to go pick up the registration box today, actually, and we'll announce a winner here by the end of the week. Well, President Trump will be addressing the nation on Iran tonight. If you hadn't heard about this, Donald Trump is scheduled to deliver a national address Wednesday evening, timed by the White House as a quote, important update on Iran. (23:46) Now, the speech will air at 8 o'clock Central Time and as the U.S. enters the fifth week of its conflict with Iran, with military operations still underway. Now, in advance of the remarks, Trump has indicated the war might conclude within the next two to three weeks, hinting at a potential move towards total de-escalation. (24:10) We'll see. We'll see what happens, but we'll learn more tonight from the President. Again, that is scheduled for 8 o'clock Central, 9 o'clock Eastern this evening from President Trump. Alright, coming up later on in the hour, we're going to talk about the dire financial stress that most American families find themselves under and how just a couple of paychecks can cause real havoc. Yeah, more on that here in just a little bit.

On this Wednesday morning, it's April Fool's Day. I did misspeak a little bit ago. Santana is going to be in Pensacola tonight. I said Stevie Ray Vaughn and folks, he's been gone for a long time, but Santana actually playing a concert over in Pensacola this evening. I know some folks that have some tickets that are heading over to that, so hopefully it's an awesome, awesome show. Now, I know there is still 38 days away from the America 250 Grand Parade coming up on Saturday, May 9th up in Crestview, but if it's not on your calendar yet, it absolutely needs to be. Okaloosa County America 250 Grand Parade in celebration is coming up Saturday, May 9th up in Crestview. It's going to be an all-day event. (26:14) It's going to be a ton of fun.

A high of 79. Currently in Destin-Fort Walton Beach, we're at 69 degrees. Well, according to a report from Yahoo Sports, the University of West Florida will be making the move from Division II to Division I. Pretty cool. UWF will be hosting a press conference tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. to make a major athletics announcement, although the university has not released any more specifics. (27:50) Now, Yahoo Sports college football reporter Ross Dellinger reports that the Argos are set to join the United Athletic Conference in football and the Atlantic Sun, the A-Sun, in all other sports. Now, according to Dellinger, UWF will pay about $2 million in a Division I entry fee. The university will also be placed on a three-year D-I transition period before competing in D-I championships, meaning it can't immediately qualify for any NCAA tournaments. However, UWF will be immediately eligible for conference post-season tournaments. (28:26) The United Athletic Conference, the UAC football conference, is a Division I football championship subdivision, FCS conference, that in addition to UWF is expected to feature Abilene Christian, Austin Peay, Central Arkansas, Eastern Kentucky, North Alabama, Tarleton State, and West Georgia. (28:50) Exciting news over in Pensacola with UWF making the jump to D-I very, very soon.

(30:15) They're looking for some local folks that would like to adopt a dispatcher and shower them in gifts all week long. Bobby Dewrell and I have done this the last couple of years. It's a ton of fun and it's a great way to show your appreciation for folks that may often be forgotten about in the law enforcement and emergency service personnel realm.
