Babe Ruth Day & The Missing Brother Heist: When Georgia Identity Theft Gets Suspiciously Convenient

Description

We climbed Florida's second-highest peak (all 396 feet of it), fact-checked Mike's entire timeline (spoiler: he was wrong about everything), and pondered whether your car should get to decide if you're drunk—because nothing says freedom like a dashboard that judges you harder than your mother-in-law.

Show Notes

Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell kicked off another Monday morning on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station serving Fort Walton Beach and the Emerald Coast. With 66 degrees at sunrise and a high of 79 on the way, the humidity finally returned after weeks of bone-dry air — which meant Bobby's yard work timing was impeccable (he finished pulling weeds about ten minutes before the weekend rain hit). Nothing says spring like dodging precipitation and planning your next weed-spraying session.

On the national holiday front, we celebrated Babe Ruth Day (not Baby Ruth, the candy bar — different legend, same appetite for excess), Morse Code Day (for anyone who misses the days when your ex couldn't drunk-text you at 2 a.m.), National Tell-A-Story Day (because apparently we don't lie enough the rest of the year), and National Prime Rib Day (honoring the only thing holding society together: a thick slab of beef cooked like it had a 401k). We also touched on the upcoming Kentucky Derby on Saturday — mint juleps optional, big hats encouraged — and reminded listeners that The Edge and Sky Bar will be hosting a Derby party if you're looking for somewhere to watch and celebrate like a champion.

Speaking of champions, congratulations to Choctaw Baseball for rolling past Baker County 9-0 and advancing to the Sweet 16 in Class 5A State Playoffs. Their next game airs live on 103.7 The Ticket. Also coming up: Saturday, May 9th is a big day — we'll be live at Marine Max in Fort Walton Beach from 11 to 3 for their Boats and Boil event, serving up 500 pounds of free crawfish (Andrea from the office is getting crawfish instead of flowers for Administrative Professionals Day, which is either generous or a red flag). That same afternoon, we're heading to Crestview for the America 250 Grand Parade and Celebration, featuring vendors, food trucks, live music, and guest speakers. Full details at TheBTeamShow.com.

We also recapped our Saturday field trip to Liza Jackson Preparatory School's 25th Anniversary Celebration, where Bobby's wife serves as principal (so yes, attendance was "strongly suggested"). The weather didn't cooperate, but the school pivoted to Plan B without missing a beat. We interviewed our buddy Mike Emil, whose wife teaches there — and let's just say Mike (a proud product of public schools) was a little fuzzier on dates than the Liza Jackson students we talked to. He was off by six years on how long his wife's been teaching there, three years on when he got married, and may or may not have nailed the year his daughter was born. But hey, who's counting? The event featured food trucks, a killer gaming trailer (basically a mobile man cave), and a reminder that some schools have contingency plans A through D.

In the news: a driver in Crestview got clocked doing 137 mph in a 65 zone on SR-85, and his passenger was arrested for possession of a controlled substance without a prescription (unlicensed pharmacist, apparently). We also discussed a proposal that could require new cars by 2027 to include cameras and sensors that monitor drivers for impairment — and Bobby's take? Hard pass. "They come first for your safety," he said, and we're not signing off on vehicular surveillance, thanks. In Georgia, a man allegedly stole his missing brother's identity, posed as him, and sold his house for $185K — which is suspicious enough before you remember the brother is still missing. Stay tuned on that one.

Finally, Ask Uncle Bobby (brought to you by By Tomcat Custom Apparel) tackled a question from the "Spreadsheet Mirage Artist" about looking busy at work without actually getting much done. Bobby's advice? Busy is a costume — keep a concerned-but-competent face, walk faster than necessary, and deploy jargon like "unblocking dependencies" and "triaging priorities." Deliver one visible win occasionally (like reorganizing a shared folder and calling it governance), and you'll look like the only person holding the operation together. Expert advice on how to shuffle paper — brought to you by a qualified life coach with a merch line. That's classic rock, classic chaos, and your Monday morning dose of reality from The B Team on 100.3 KROCK.

Transcript

(00:00) Here's today's B Team Redux. The doors light my fire on the classic rock station, 100.3 KROCK. Good morning, everybody. How you doing? Uh, the start of another work week. The last few days of April, uh, 66 degrees right here in Destin, Fort Walton Beach, a high today of 79. (00:23) And Bobby, the humidity is coming back. Yeah, it is. Yep. Uh, we're certainly feeling it this morning. It could feel a little more. It wasn't bad, but it was, it was definitely there. Compared to, uh, recent weeks when it's just been bone dry. Well, it felt a little more like fall, but yeah. (00:40) Yeah. Uh, this morning certainly feels like spring. We finally got some much needed rain over the weekend. Yeah. Yeah. It was funny. That, uh, came through right after you were talking about being in the yard, pulling weeds, I kind of laughed. I was like, huh, I bet he got wet. (00:56) Well, we got done about 10 minutes before, but, uh, now today, this afternoon, I got to go out and I get a spray. I gotcha. So, yep. Probably have more weeds today to pull to after the, uh, after the rainfall yesterday, but overall this week, uh, things are looking pretty nice. (01:16) Uh, highs in the upper seventies. Uh, although this weekend I'm saying another decent chance for some showers. We'll check that full forecast in just a little bit. And we are The B Team morning show on a Monday morning. I'm Schuyler black. (01:32) He's Bobby Dewrell. We come your way every weekday morning from six until nine sponsored by our friends at stripes pub and grill in Navarre, as well as Okaloosa gas and outcast sushi in Miramar beach. And how was your weekend? Uh, you know, I made it through. Yeah. (01:47) Yeah. Yeah. I haven't found one. I didn't like yet. Fair enough. Yeah. It doesn't have to be exciting to, you know, be an enjoyable weekend. So this is true. Sometimes lounging around at home is not a bad thing. (02:02) Exactly. Well, today on the national day calendar, uh, we start out with one of my favorite candy bars. It's Babe Ruth day. Oh yeah. Cause nothing says role model, like celebrating a guy smacked home runs and treated moderation like a strikeout. Oh, different, different than I thought. (02:19) Yeah. Not baby Ruth. Oh, damn Ruth. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Like Babe, Babe Ruth is that annual moment when America pretends it's doing a history homework. But you know, really, it's just looking for an excuse to worship a loud, oversized legend with a bat and an appetite. (02:38) I mean, officially it nods to the Sultan of Swat's impact on baseball in the country and unofficially it's, it's a permission slip to romanticize the old days when heroes were built like furnaces and behaved like cautionary tales. You know, people tip their caps, trot out grainy highlights and act like hustle is hereditary if you say Yankees with enough conviction, you know, it's, it's wholesome on paper, chaotic in practice and somehow still less confusing than most modern holidays. (03:06) And I just got a text here that, uh, your commission check from the Steinbrenners is in the mail. It's Babe Ruth day today. So there you go. 6, 10 is the time we get three more holidays to get to. (03:22) We've got lots of local events to preview coming up over the next couple of weeks. And of course, some stories to touch on from the weekend as well. Right now. Pink Floyd doing what neither one of us will do. And that's called run like hell. That's right. It's a B team morning show on 100.3 KROCK pretty Monday morning in Destin Fort Walton beach. (03:43) It's The B Team morning show on the classic rock station, 100.3 KROCK. Hope everybody had a great weekend. Uh, we'll check your forecast here in just a little bit. I'm Scott, they're black. He's Bobby Dewrell. And every morning we are brought to you by our friends at stripes, pub and grill and Navar as well as Okaloosa gas and outcast sushi along. (04:06) With my Tomcat custom apparel, bringing you a ask uncle Bobby every morning around seven 45. I was a struggle. It was, it was, uh, did I mention it's Monday? Yeah, you got stripes, you got Okaloosa gas and I got an outcast sushi and, and I got byTomCat for, well, that's, that's new. (04:26) I usually don't get top billing, but that was cool. Ask uncle Brandon. Is that how we're branding it now? No, no. I mean, you've got the same hair color. He does. Yeah. By me. Hey, Kevin up on a Saturday, May 9th, that is less than two weeks away now. (04:44) Uh, it's going to be a ton of fun. It's going to be an all day, uh, all day event up in Crestview, uh, that afternoon and that evening, uh, the 250th, uh, celebration and grand parade up there. There's going to be a vendors, food trucks, uh, guest speakers, live entertainment, live music, and of course, uh, the grand parade, uh, that afternoon. (05:08) So it should be a lot of fun. Uh, and also that day from 11 till three, we're going to be a live on location at Marine max right here in Fort Walton beach for their, uh, boats and boil event, 500 pounds of, uh, fresh crawfish going to be, uh, going to be served up. (05:24) So stop on by not going to cost you a dime. And, uh, and apparently that's what they thought they were giving, uh, uh, Andrea for administrative professionals day. Cause it certainly wasn't flowers. Yeah. I saw her. I saw her comment on Facebook. She, she never did get the flowers, but she's getting crawfish. Yeah. (05:39) There you go. Five, 500 pounds of crawfish. She's deciding to share with you. And the opportunity to work on a Saturday. That's right. So if you think about it, it just keeps on giving. It does. It does. A shout out to Jason Hatcher and his team over at a Marine max for completely forgetting about Andrea, forgetting about Andrea, but not forgetting about you, the customer free crawfish Saturday, May 9th, uh, from 11 till three, we've got more details on these two events and so many more at The B Team show.com. (06:10) Yeah. And notice they don't call it a customer appreciation day. Cause they appreciate customers every day. It's just Andrea. They don't appreciate. That's terrible. That's terrible. But she's sitting there nodding right now. Just stoke the fire. (06:25) Will you just stoke it? Ah, what's the worst could happen? I don't know. Only one way to find out. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe if they brought her flowers, they would know. They, they might know. They might know a little more oxygen on the fire now too. (06:40) And what's some steam? What's some lighter fluid? All right. Uh, today on the national day calendar, it's Morse code day. Oh yeah. Yeah. It's, you know, honestly, this one's kind of nice. Cause it's for people who've missed the good old days when your messages took effort and your ex couldn't accidentally text you at 2 a.m. (07:00) Think about it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Morse code is that annual reminder that before your phone started finishing your sentences and ruining your attention span, people communicated by aggressively tapping dots and dashes. (07:15) Like their lives depended on it. Yeah. Because sometimes they did, you know, it's a, it's a toast to Samuel Morse and the beautiful paranoia of an era when wireless meant some guy with a key and a nervous system. Yeah. And every message sounded like a polite woodpecker having a breakdown. (07:33) You know, today we pretend it's about history and innovation, but really it's about the thrill of sending a secret message in plain sight and feeling superior for knowing that SOS means without looking it up. (07:48) I mean, consider, consider it a holiday for anyone who's ever wanted to turn. I'm running late into a coded warning shot. SOS stuff on a shingle. That's right. Yeah. Uh, there you go. Morse code day. And, uh, it's the BT morning show. (08:04) We'll be right back after beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Right after this 40 minutes after six o'clock on a beautiful Monday morning here in Northwest Florida. How are you doing everybody? I'm scattered black. (08:20) He's Bobby Dewrell. We are The B Team morning show a high today of 79 this afternoon. We'll check that full forecast in just a little bit. Robert plant and tall, cool one this morning here on The B Team morning show. (08:35) Is it, is it too early for a tall, cool one? No, probably not. No. What, uh, what's going to be your beer choice this morning? Oh, I have no idea. Probably just a Coors Light. So he is going for the mountains. That's right. All right. Well, coming up just a little bit, we climbed the second tallest peak. (08:52) Yeah. We, we climbed the second highest Florida mountain. Uh huh. I have, you know, I have been to the highest point. It's like 300 feet in it. Three 96. That's a little higher than I thought. Yeah. And required oxygen. I'll bet it did. (09:10) I'll bet it did. All right. We'll take it a look at the national day calendar this morning. Uh, it's national. Tell a story day, huh? No. Yeah. Yeah. Because apparently the rest of the year you've been quietly telling the truth, like some kind of maniac. (09:26) Tall tales here. Tall tales. That's right. Oh, it's national. Tell a story day. It's that little square on the calendar that pretends we don't already lie professionally, casually, and for sport. You know, the idea is simple. (09:41) Open your mouth, string events together and try just once to make it mean something beyond killing time in a checkout line, you know, it's, it's a permission slip to dust off the family legends, the workplace war stories, and that you won't believe what happened. (09:57) You've been holding hostage. Bring your best story. Keep it short enough to survive modern attention spans. Remember, the truth is optional, but the delivery is not. (10:12) National Tell-A-Story Day. I'm going to be careful about what you tell me today. And what I believe. I always tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Uh-huh. So help me, Bob. Yeah. Right. (10:28) Your sweet ballroom blitz. The champions. Well, somebody's going to be saying that after the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. Whether it's the horse and jockey or whether it's your bet and you win, somebody's going to be a champion on Saturday night. (10:44) Potentially. Mm-hmm. Do you get to have any mint juleps on Saturday? Probably not. Probably not. I don't really care for mint juleps, to be honest with you. My father-in-law, that was his thing. Soco, mint juleps. Just not my deal. Nah. (10:59) Not my deal at all. Speaking of Kentucky Derby, our friends out at the Edge and Sky Bar are going to be doing their Derby party on Saturday. So if you're looking for somewhere to watch the Derby and have some fun, maybe ladies wear those big fancy hats. (11:16) Maybe think about the Sky Bar and the Edge on Saturday. And you know what? If you're a champion, you can celebrate by eating some prime rib. Because today on the National Day calendar, it's National Prime Rib Day. That's right, because nothing says holiday like paying steakhouse prices to chew slowly and question every life choice you ever made for dinner. (11:37) I love prime rib. I do, too. National Prime Rib Day is that annual moment when society admits the only thing holding it together is a thick slab of beef cooked like it had a 401k. You know, you don't celebrate it so much as you participate in it. (11:55) You know, the way you participate in paying taxes or pretending you read the whole article. You know, the rules are simple. Honor the rib. Respect the pink. And don't trust anyone who wants it cooked past medium unless they're holding your mortgage. (12:12) Okay? It's a holiday built on confidence, excess, and the quiet understanding that tomorrow we go back to salads and lies. Yeah. Good old cool salad. Cool salads. (12:28) There you go. National Prime Rib Day. Is it too late to change my statement when I said I love prime rib? I love good prime rib. Yeah. There's some bad prime rib out there. There's some interesting prime rib out there. I'll tell you that. All right. (12:43) Let's take a break. National News is next with Dan Diamond. It's the B Team morning show on 100.3 KROCK. Hello. Did you miss me? Professor Green here. I just love telling people why natural gas is better than electricity. (12:58) Hmm. Well, think about a report card. If energy efficiency was a report card, natural gas delivers 92% directly to your home while electricity delivers 38%. That's quite a difference, wouldn't you say? That does help explain why you get more for your money and less on your bill. (13:15) Hmm. It does. Go to okaloosagas.com to learn more. If you're not satisfied with the B Team morning show. Good morning, Emerald Coast. How are you doing? Beautiful sunshine in Destin, Fort Walton Beach this morning. (13:31) A high today. But not Mariester. 79. Yeah. Is there always a black cloud over Mariester? I don't know. You're the only one to talk about Destin and Fort Walton Beach. So, yeah. Sucks to be nice, Phil. Vow pee. Okay. (13:46) Well, it's a beautiful morning in South Okaloosa County. How about that? Hmm. Nah. Is that gooder? No. Nice, Phil. Still not satisfied. Vow pee. Still not satisfied. How about a shout out to Cinco Bayou? To the Bayou. (14:01) To the Bay-oh. We're at 66 degrees right now. A high today of 79 degrees. We'll check your forecast in just a little bit. If you didn't hear Dan Diamond's news about 10 or 15 minutes ago, yeah. (14:20) How about that driver getting clocked at 137 miles an hour in Crestview this weekend? You know, it wasn't his fault. Hell, it was only half full. Yeah. Okay. Whatever you say, Bobby. (14:35) Whatever you say. Yeah. Well, a traffic stop early Saturday morning in Crestview resulted in multiple arrests after deputies recorded a driver traveling at 137 miles an hour in a 65-mile-an-hour zone on State Road 85 near Live Oak Church Road. (14:51) Now, according to the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office, the driver, 20-year-old Jim Mitchell of Pensacola, was taken into custody and charged with driving at an excessive speed over 100 miles an hour. Authorities said he was operating a black 2006 Audi. (15:07) Now, his passenger, 25-year-old Akeem Malik Finley of Baker, was also arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance without a prescription. Oh. Well, that'll do it. He was an unlicensed pharmacist. (15:22) Mm-hmm. And deputies added that he was placed on hold for ice during the stop. Oh, well. Isn't that fun? Now, over the weekend, President Trump made an announcement that he is going to rename the department name for ICE. (15:40) Instead of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, it'll be National Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In other words, the acronym would be N.I.C.E. Yeah. I can imagine that the left-wing media would love to report on N.I.C.E. agents. (15:56) That's funny. All right. Stay with us. We've got some more to get to. A little recap from our field trip that we took on Saturday. Yeah, we learned a lot. Yeah, we did. We learned a lot. (16:11) Liza Jackson's 25th anniversary was this last weekend, their open house and celebration on Saturday. And we've got some audio and a recap for you coming up in about 15 minutes. So stick tight. We'll get to that here before too long. (16:26) I'm Schuyler Black. He's Bobby Dewrell. This is the B Team Morning Show brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, as well as Okaloosa Gas and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Autograph, turn up the radio. 100.3 KROCK. (16:42) The B Team Morning Show is on the air on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. It's a pretty morning. Lots of sunshine out there. It's already ticking up a skosh, though, from what we've seen over the last couple of weeks. (16:58) Humidity's at 76% right now, so it's a little bit muggy out there. Yeah, it's not. I wouldn't call it muggy. Sticky. Maybe. Tacky. I don't know. It just all seems like a stretch. (17:13) Not quite. Not swampy yet. No. Not cornstarch yet. No, definitely not. But from the other morning where it felt like October last week. True. Yeah. I'll give you that one. (17:29) Just a little more humid out there. I'll give you that one. The B Team Morning Show 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. By the way, on Friday, congratulations Choctaw Baseball. (17:45) Rolled past Baker County 9-0, advanced to the Sweet 16 in their division, Class 5A State Baseball. Playoffs. We'll have the next game for you, play-by-play, on 1037 The Ticket. All right. (18:00) Bobby, on Saturday, we got invited out to be at Liza Jackson's school. Is that what we're calling it? We're calling it an invitation? Because I felt like I was told to be there. You were invited to show up with a strong emphasis on... (18:18) Better. You'd better show up. Is that phrase better? Maybe. It was strongly suggested. It was implied. So if you heard the B Team on location on Saturday, we were out at Liza Jackson Preparatory School here in Fort Walton. (18:37) Their 25th anniversary celebration and open house was on Saturday, and the strongly suggested point comes from the fact that Bobby's wife is the principal. So we had to give them their flowers on Saturday, but it was a fun day, all things considered. (18:55) The weather was not super cooperative, but Liza pivoted and went to Plan B. Yeah, of course. A good school like that. They have Plan B, C, and D. So you never would have known. I mean, never would have known that that's not exactly how it was planned to be the whole time. (19:13) Went off without a hitch. Went off without a hitch. And a friend of ours, Mike Emil, his wife is also a teacher there. Well, we had some audio. Yeah, yeah. (19:28) We had a chance to talk to Mike. Now, I'll say keep in mind. Mike is a product of public schools. He did not attend Liza. So a little bit from Mike this morning. So your wife's been a teacher here for how many years? She started, I think, back in 2006 here. (19:44) So she's almost two decades. Yes. Actually, no. No, no, no. It was 2012. 12. Okay. Well, you know, it's like six. I mean, years aren't important. You got married in one year. Yeah. (19:59) I'm going to ask Jett in here just a little bit. Oh, 98! 98! 98! Okay. My daughter was a 1. My daughter was a 1. Enough from Mike today. Yeah, so you notice, you know, I'll just say it was different talking to the kids. (20:16) It was. You notice the difference between a product of public school and Mike Amiel and then the products of private school. I'll let you draw your own conclusions. Yeah. Wherever you want to be. Just, yeah, there was definitely a difference. (20:32) And God love him, but Mike's got, you know, 40 years on these kids. And they were better with timelines and being accurate than he was. Well, you know. (20:47) Anyway, it was hilarious. Yeah, so three corrections in what, 30 seconds? Yeah, something like that. He was only off six years from how long his wife spent a teacher there. (21:02) And then only off three years from the year he got married. And then he finally remembered the year this daughter was born. Yeah, which we didn't even ask about that. Right. And to be honest with you, I think if we had a fact checked it, he might be wrong. He was probably like, oh, two. (21:18) No, I got a tooth pulled, no one. Anyway, it was a lot of fun on Saturday. They had some food trucks out there. They had a really cool video game trailer. (21:33) Yeah, that was kind of awesome. I did like that. Really neat. They set up the inside of the trailer almost like a gaming lounge. Sofas and several different consoles and screens up on the wall. Man cave, one could argue. (21:49) Yeah. Yeah. Really? I would take it. I'd be fine with it. Yeah. I'd hang out there. Yeah. But yeah, anyway. Tay said you could do exactly that to y'all's basement. Yeah. (22:04) I'll bet she did. What basement? Exactly. Uh-huh. But she was more than willing to let you do it to the basement. Yeah. Yeah. So can't wait to turn my tornado cellar into the man cave. (22:19) I had one of those at one point. All right. It's 726. We're about 20 minutes away from asking Uncle Bobby for advice this morning. And whether you want it or not, it's coming your way. So stay with us. We've got that coming up in just a bit. (22:35) We are the B Team Morning Show. It's 726. This is 100.3 KROCK. That's what I like in my sweet potato. A little brown sugar. Yeah? When's the last time you indulged in a sweet potato from this diabetes thing? (22:51) Uh... I don't know. You don't know? No. You know, actually... It's been a while. If you just had a plain old baked sweet potato instead of a regular baked potato, it's probably better for you. (23:07) But it's all the butter and brown sugar and honey and sugar that you basically turned that thing into candy at that point. Yeah. Yeah. That's the way I like it. Yeah. You take all the aspects of it and get rid of it. (23:22) Right. Exactly. It's kind of like a cookie. You know? A cookie's got... Milk. Egg. Eggs. Flowers. Right. Right. And then all of a sudden, you've got yourself a cookie. So, yeah. They take stuff that's supposed to be good for you and turn it not good. (23:39) Well, Bobby, I want your take on this story because I just came across it. But new cars could be required by 2027 to include technology that watches drivers for signs of impairment. Yeah. I don't like it. (23:54) Using cameras and sensors to track things like eye movement, attention, and possibly signs of intoxication. Yep. Mm-hmm. I didn't think you'd be a fan. Nope. The controversial part is what the system might do. If it thinks a driver is impaired, it could warn the driver, limit how the car operates, or in some concepts, even prevent the vehicle from starting. (24:17) Supporters say it's aimed at reducing drunk driving deaths, but critics worry it feels like surveillance and raises privacy concerns about what data cars could collect. Mm-hmm. Now, federal regulators have also said the technology isn't fully ready yet, and details about how it would work are still being ironed out. (24:37) Yeah. It's a no. Yeah. They will come first for your safety. Mm-hmm. Remember that. Yeah. I'm not okay with that at all. Mm-hmm. Yeah. (24:52) Very uncomfortable with that. Yep. But that's how it works. They come first for your safety. It's all in the name of safety. That's why we need to do this. Well, because you're not smart enough to be safe. To be safe yourself. Mm-hmm. Yeah. You're incapable of doing that. You're not ever going to get me to sign off on these things. (25:09) Sorry. I know. Crazy. Crazy, crazy, crazy. Mm-hmm. All right. Coming up in just a little bit, ask Uncle Bobby. We're going to get your advice this Monday morning. (25:25) That's all on the way. Plus, Dan Diamond has a look at local news in the next 10 minutes as well. So stay with us. We are the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, as well as Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach on 100.3 KROCK. (25:44) There's Mountain and Mississippi Queen on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. It's 747 on a beautiful Monday morning. How are you doing over there, Mr. Dewrell? (26:00) I'm peachy. Peachy? Mm-hmm. Peachy keen? Mm-hmm. By the way, if you are needing an idea on what to get Mom for Mother's Day this year, well, our friends over at Buy Tomcat Custom Apparel can hook you up, and they are the ones that stitch together. (26:17) Ask Uncle Bobby every single morning. Yeah. Buy Tomcat Custom Apparel. That's right. Family photos coming up don't look like a yard sale. No, matching shirts don't happen by accident. Yeah, so you need to look organized, and that's a choice. (26:32) Buy Tomcat Custom Apparel. Makes it easy. They can help you out. Go see them. Mm-hmm. Corner of Beale and Racetrack right here in Fort Walton. Shops at Wright Plaza. That's right. Right next to Sport Clips. (26:47) Mm-hmm. Well, today, Uncle Bobby, you get a question in from the Spreadsheet Mirage Artist. Mm-hmm. And they say, Dear Uncle Bobby, now I've gotten really good at looking busy at work, but I'm overwhelmed and worried someone will realize I'm not actually getting much done. (27:08) So how do I avoid getting caught? All right, look, I've got years on this one. Okay, listen, you're not playing with fire. No, you're just installing a central heating in the building and calling it a personal branding initiative, all right? The fact you feel anxious just means you have a functioning nervous system, which is already more than half the office can claim, okay? (27:30) But here's the dramatic twist. The thing that's going to get you caught is not that you aren't doing much. It's that you're overwhelmed. See, people can forgive slow output. What they notice is panic, inconsistency, and that haunted look of someone about to be asked, so what are you working on? (27:54) Yeah, see, the underlying principle is simple. Busy is a costume, and costumes work best when they have continuity, props, and a little bit of believable backstory, okay? So look, the first rule of looking busy, you never look comfortable. (28:10) You got to keep a browser tab open that looks like a dashboard. You got to keep your face set to a concerned but competent fixture and walk faster than you need to like you're late to stop a disaster you definitely did not cause. (28:25) See, sitting still is how people start imagining you have free time, and free time is how they start imagining you're their problems, okay? Second rule, you got to upgrade your props. A notebook with aggressive scribbles, a calendar packed with meetings named things like alignment and risk review, a document titled something painful and vague like Q2 process hygiene sitting on your screen at all times, because you know, nobody wants to ask what that means and accidentally get invited, okay? (29:00) Now the jargon overhaul, because language is camouflage, okay? You are not avoiding work, you are unblocking dependencies and triaging priorities and waiting on upstream inputs, okay? (29:15) If anyone questions your progress, you respond like a tired war general. You have made movement, but the terrain is complicated and the enemy is invisible. Finally, you got to treat actual productivity like it is a limited edition resource you deploy for optics, okay? (29:38) Deliver one visible win occasionally. Preferably something that looks hard but is easy like, I don't know, reorganizing a shared folder and calling it governance. You know, look, that way if anyone gets suspicious, you can point to the trophy case and let them feel stupid for doubting you. (29:59) So do all of that and you won't just avoid getting caught You'll look like the only person Holding the operation together, which is the funniest outcome for someone who started out just trying to survive the week All right Expert advice on how to shuffle paper.
