Bat Appreciation & Bourbon Regret: Why 4:30 AM Came Early for Two Men Who Should've Known Better

(00:00) Here's today's B Team Redux. Hey, you know, it helps if I move the microphone over closer to my face. Well, you can yell at it. But it's going to sound like you're yelling at it. Yeah, I know. I know. What a morning. Hey, welcome to the B Team Morning Show right here on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. (00:19) I'm Bobby Derell. That's Tom sitting over there on mic two. Schuyler's, well, he's off living the dream. He's, you know, just other priorities in life, apparently. Yeah. He doesn't care about you folks. I don't know how to tell you this. It's just a job to him. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's a lifestyle here. (00:36) So, anyway, Tom, welcome. Welcome. We had Jim in yesterday, but now you're going to be with me today and Monday, I believe. Yeah. Yeah. So, early morning shift. We were just talking about how wonderful it is to do a bourbon podcast on a Thursday night and then be in here bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in the morning. (00:54) Yeah. Yeah. Six o'clock is who? Yeah. Boy, there are bodily functions that haven't happened yet. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I got to tell you, 430 came early this morning. Yeah. It came early this morning. Wow. You're listening to the B Team Morning Show brought to you in part by our friends over at Stripes Pub & Grill, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi. (01:16) Thanks, guys, for your support and bringing us here. We've got a great show lined up for you today. We've got some fun holidays that we're about to start talking about. We've got Ask Uncle Bobby coming up at 740-ish. Yeah, we focus on the ish. (01:31) Plus, not to mention, we've got a couple of cool, crazy stories out there running around that I'm sure we'll find and be able to talk to you about. Anyway, right now, hey, we've got a day going on, don't we? We do. I'm assuming you're referring to the national holiday, right? (01:48) Yeah. It's Bat Appreciation Day today, Bobby. And not the baseball bat type bat. Yeah. Yeah. Great. Because nothing says cherished nature like applauding a flying rat that leaves guano and bad decisions on your porch. I mean, why wouldn't we celebrate that? (02:05) Right. Folks, Bat Appreciation Day is that special little holiday where we all pretend we've been ignoring bats on purpose. You know, like they haven't been out there every night doing pass control for free, while we pay a guy named Trent 40 bucks to spray natural chemicals around the porch. (02:21) Yeah. Yeah. Look, you're supposed to celebrate by learning a few facts, maybe hanging a bat house, and resisting the urge to treat every flappy silhouette like it's auditioning for a horror movie. It's basically Earth's Quiet Thank You note to the animal that looks like a flying umbrella and somehow still manages to be more useful than most of your coworkers. (02:42) That's very true. I feel that one. I feel that one. So this is your warning shot, folks. We're going to appreciate them, and we're going to do it with the kind of sincerity that makes everyone comfortable. Dang it. Right. Yeah. Yeah. (02:57) So there you go. That's right. It's Bat Appreciation Day, and you better show your appreciation. You look angry. That's right. And don't go get one of those Batman costumes with the nipples. Yeah. That's not going to get you any appreciation. No. Yeah. (03:12) Don't clue me in. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. That's right. That's right. Hey, you know what? I felt that one. Well, your dad bonds and Batman suits don't work real well. No, they really don't. They really don't. All right, folks, we got your Marine Report coming up, and then we've got Allman Brothers, Guns N' Roses, and more. (03:30) So y'all stick around. Don't go nowhere. Guns N' Roses with Sweet Child of Mine right here at 100.3k Rock, the classic rock station. You're listening to the B Team Morning Show. I'm Bobby Dewrell sitting here with good old Tom Mason. Bobby, you are up today, man. (03:46) The only Bob and Tom that really mattered. That's right. Yeah. Hey, you know, I got to tell you, that song right there, Sweet Child of Mine, that is a song that was absolutely brought to you by committee, right? No, no, I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. Okay. (04:01) So here's the whole background on it, and I love sharing this one because it's great. Okay. So the band's having a jam session at their house out on the Sunset Strip, right? Steve Adler and Slash are warming up, and Slash began to play a little circus melody and making faces at Adler. (04:19) That little, it's one of his warm-ups, right? Yeah. Well, then Izzy asked Slash to play it again. So at that point, then Izzy came up with some chords, and Duff jumped in with a bass line. (04:35) So then Adler started hitting a beat. And so, you know, Slash says, you know, within an hour, my little guitar exercise had become something else. Well, Axl Rose was sitting upstairs in his room and was listening to all this commotion going on and what it turned into, and was inspired to write lyrics, which he completed by the following afternoon. (04:57) Now, he based them on his girlfriend at the time, Erin Everly, you know, the daughter of Don Everly of the Everly Brothers. Okay. Yeah. So, and really declared that Leonard Skinner kind of served as the inspiration to make sure that he got the heart and the feeling. (05:15) Yeah. So, there you go. You have that. Well, at their next composing session out in Burbank, they added the bridge and the little guitar solo. Yeah. Well, so now you've got more of a song. Well, when they were recording the demos with the producer, Spencer Proffer, he suggested adding the breakdown at the song's end. (05:37) Okay. You know, that little breakdown that he does where he goes back and forth, kind of like the biggest part of it. Yeah. They all said, well, we can do that, but we're not sure what to do. So, they were listening to the demo in a loop and Rose started saying to himself, where do we go? (05:53) Where do we go now? Right? And he said, why don't you just sing that? Yeah. So, there you go. That's pretty cool. I mean, neat history. Yeah. Right. It's a song just coming together from nowhere. Yeah. I mean, I've never written a song, so how does it work? (06:12) How's that all come together? It's pretty interesting for all these bands how some of these songs come out of just sitting around. Yeah. Well, again, this whole thing started with Slash's warm-up exercises. Yeah. That's pretty cool. He was just playing it and started making faces at Adler. (06:29) And Izzy's like, I can play some chords with that. Stuff's like, oh, I got a sick bass. Isn't that what happened in Deliverance? Yeah. So, there you go. You didn't know you were going to get educated this morning and you just got educated. I am smarter now for being here. (06:45) That's right. And the listeners are smarter. Well, that's what I try to do. I pride myself on that. You do a good job, Bobby. Thank you. Hey, it's 6.30 this morning and, well, the weather is weathering outside. Yeah, it is. I forgot to pull it up. I mean, it was a beautiful day this morning. It was a nice ride in. Yeah. (07:00) Everything was really nice. Yeah. Last night, it seemed like the humidity was picking up. And then this morning when I walked out the door, I was like, oh, it's pretty nice out here. Interesting because we have yet to turn on the AC in the house. (07:15) Oh, yeah. Yeah. So, you know, really great. Keeps the electric bill down and everything like that. We've just been kind of pushing through on the little bit warmer days. But, you know, all the spices in the house are all stuck together in the jars. Yeah. (07:30) Makes cooking a little bit of fun. It does get a little humid. Yeah. Yeah, it does. I love, you know, yeah, we don't turn on the AC. You know, it saves money. Yeah. Yeah. I often find when you don't use electricity, it doesn't cost as much. (07:45) It doesn't cost as much. Now, we're making that up and having to go out and buy new spices. Right. So, did you win? Yeah. Did you win? Right, right. Folks, it's 63 out there right now. The high is 79 today. Slight chance of rain, like 2%. (08:00) That's what they said yesterday. Well, that means somewhere in this area, it's going to rain like hell. It's going to rain. Right. Just not on you. Yeah. There's actually no breeze out there. Air quality, there's actually no breeze out there. Air quality down a little bit today. (08:16) Not quite as good as yesterday. Yeah. You know, again, that, boy, that grass pollen is definitely out there. Yeah, I can feel it. Yeah. And they're saying right now that the Colton flu, that the flu risk is kind of moderate in this area. (08:31) Is it? For us today. Yeah. So, there you go. Maybe that's what I'm feeling. Yeah. Yeah. Could be. Could be. I know I have a little bit of the bourbon flu. Yeah, exactly. Sunsets at 7.15 tonight. That's one minute after yesterday. Okay. Yeah. (08:46) That's what happens. Yeah, that's right. We'll have a moon rise. Well, the moon already rose. It was at 6.05 a.m. this morning. Oh, really? Yeah. So, sunsets at 7.15 and the moon sets at 7.50. Isn't that interesting? Yeah. It's giving up on you. If you're a kid, you're going, what? (09:01) I thought they were opposite each other. That's right. That's right. But it is sunny. Highs around 78. Wind south-southwest 10 to 15 miles per hour today. So, it's going to be a beautiful day out there. Hey, that UV index is up around 10 out of 11. You know, it now goes to 11. Okay. And they should go to 11. Right. Yeah. So, it's up there. So, you're going to want to keep that in mind. (09:16) the beach or out in the sun. Make sure that you cover up, you slather up, and keep yourself safe. But, there's another day out there, Tom, right? There is another day out there. It is National Crawfish Day. Of course. Because, you know, nothing says celebration like fighting for three ounces of meat while your hands smell like regret. Yeah. That's true. So, there is a day out there. I mean, I think it's the National Crawfish Day. And so, I can't wait for that to be a big day. I'm going to be over there, man. (09:31) I'm going to be over there. Well, we'll talk to you when you get there. Okay. We'll talk to you. That's right. We'll talk to you. All right. Well, thank you so much. Thanks, Mike. Have a great day. Thanks. Bye, guys. Bye. See you guys. Bye. (09:46) Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. (10:01) Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Oh, it's National Crawfish Day and it's that annual reminder that humans will invent a holiday for anything that can be boiled, peeled, and argued over like it's a constitutional right. That's right. Look, you dump a table's worth of spicy mud bugs in front of grown adults and suddenly everyone's a chef, a critic, and a philosopher with fingers standing red and opinions even redder. (10:22) You know, it's part food ritual, part social experiment, part excuse to ignore your inbox while you chase the perfect bite in the late last cold drink. I could not get that one out. Celebrate however you want, just know the crawfish are the only ones showing up dressed appropriately. (10:41) Yeah, that's right. Nervous and already in hot water. Yeah. Oh, man. You know, I know I used a little bit of that Cajun accent there, and I'm betting the only one that's out there listening right now is Steve Dudley, and he went, well, I understand what you said. (10:57) Yeah. He's going to come over here and punch you. Don't ever do that again. That's right. What you thinking? All right. It's sniffing the tears, driver's seat right here at 100.3k Rock, the classic rock station. (11:12) You're listening to the B Team Morning Show with the only Bob and Tom that matter. That's right. That's a Bob Dylan version of knocking on heaven's door right there. That is a Bob Dylan version. Yep. Yeah. And a lot of people, you know, one of the many songs that he wrote, I tell you, when you listen to classic rock, if you pay attention to the writers, Bob Dylan has written damn near all of them. (11:36) Oh, it's amazing. Some of the songwriters and the thing, you know, is not classic rock, but, you know, Barry Manilow, one of those guys that just wrote so many songs for so many artists out there. You know, there's a lot of them that are, not that he wasn't a great singer and entertainer and all that stuff, but that are just so good at the songwriting aspect. (11:59) And you know, the musician or the artist or the entertainment part just kind of came along with it, but their real strength was their songwriting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And that's definitely the case with Bob Dylan. It's not exactly easy to understand sometimes, but, uh, yeah, that's my Bob Dylan right there. (12:27) Yeah. It was about as good as mine. Yeah. Anyway. Well, folks, we, uh, you know, we're here. Yeah. We are. I don't know what to tell you. We are here. We've, we've made it to this point in the show. (12:42) It's, uh, it's about a quarter till seven there. We've got, uh, you know, we got a lot of stuff lined up for you, but we got, we got our national holiday to talk about Tom. We got another day. We do. This one's, this one's actually a lot of fun. National kickball day. You know what says adulting, Tom? Yeah. (12:58) You know, it's adulting, but reliving recess and realizing that your knees can cash checks, your pride can't cover. Yeah, exactly. I'm just saying, I'm just saying, Hey, it's national kickball day. And it's that a sacred little blip on the calendar where grown adults pretend a rubber ball in a patch of grass can fix their personality. (13:18) Yeah. It's dodge balls. Less litigious cousin. Yeah. Same childhood trauma, fewer dental claims, and somehow more arguing about made up rules. You know, everybody shows up convinced there's, they've still got it right up until their hamstring files for formal complaint and their pride pretends it didn't hear, you know? (13:39) So lace up, stretch like you mean it, and remember today isn't about winning. It's about discovering which of your friends becomes a war criminal. The moment a red ball rolls their way. God, I can't think of the last time I played kickball. (13:55) It's been a while. Yeah. It's been, I remember we, we had a kickball league up in Charlotte when I was in my, my late, well, yeah, it'd been late twenties, early thirties. Right. And we'd play flag football. And then a group of us, we had a kickball team too. (14:11) So everybody else was playing softball. We're playing kickball. So now one that I remember around here, I don't, I don't know if it was bigger than just here, but we had a, we had a version that we called it Mueller ball. I don't know. Have you ever heard of Mueller ball before? (14:27) Never heard of it. So Mueller ball, you, you use the red kickball, but you had a bat. So it was more like using the, the bat in the little red kickball. And it was, it was tossed to you underhanded, like a, like a softball. Really? (14:42) Yeah. Yeah. And a lot of the same rules as kickball. You know, somebody catches it, you're out. Yeah. They either tag you or hit you with it. You're out. Yeah. A lot of, a lot of, a lot of bounce off your head. A lot of times you're trying to round third and all of a sudden you go over, you're trying to round third ball, hit you in the head and the next thing you know, you're on the ground. (15:04) Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That would definitely be a lawsuit these days. Right. Right. All right, folks. We got your local news coming up. A few words from our sponsors and we'll be back with a, with warrant and more. So you stick around, we'll be right back. Don't go nowhere. (15:25) Lee Michaels. Do you know what I mean, man, the way you turn those buttons on, I thought you were going to jump in and sing with him. Oh no, I was, I was, I did it yesterday with, uh, with, uh, um, black water. Yeah. I don't, I don't know if you're listening, but I kept popping in going pretty mom. (15:45) Well I know it's stupid. No it is funny. It's me. Uh, again, I'll, I'll, I'll tell you like I, like I tell everyone else, the jokes make me laugh and that's, what's important. I really don't care about you. (16:01) I'm, I'm not in this to make you laugh. Right. I'm an only child. I entertain myself. Well, there you go. Time. We got one more holiday before seven o'clock rolls around. We got to get out of here because I, you know, Hey, uh, if we do holidays after seven o'clock, we've violated the morning show. (16:20) That's a faux pas manifesto. Yeah. It's a faux pas. It's in the handbook. Yeah. I sent you the verbiage. That's right. Yeah. Finally. Is it a, is it a faux pas? It's a social blunder. There you go. Yeah. But yeah, we got, uh, today is national blah, blah, blah, blah day. (16:38) Really? Yeah. Maybe one more law in there. I don't know. Finally. It's a, it's a day for people who talk like a busted sprinkler sprinkler and, and contribute about the same amount of useful. Yeah, exactly. Uh, I wonder when yada, yada, yada day is, Oh, I can look that up. (16:54) Uh, blah, blah, blah day is that annual civic exercise where we all pretend listening is a virtue while our brains quiet leaf file for bankruptcy. You know, you nod through the speeches, the toast, the meetings, the heartfelt, just one quick thing. (17:10) Monologues like you're, you're getting paid by the syllable. Then you go home and realize you remember none of it except the part where someone said circle back. Yeah. Yeah. The tradition is simple. Say a lot, mean a little and treat silence like it's illegal. And if you're wondering and treat silence like it's illegal and if you're wondering what it's really celebrating, well, congratulations, you're already participating. (17:33) Yeah. There you go. Yeah. Well, great day. Well, folks, that, that wraps up our, uh, that wraps up our, uh, our, our national holidays for, for Friday. And that's that, that noise was the letting us know, right? (17:50) That's right. Letting us know that we've hit the seven o'clock hour and well, it's all, it's all done now. So thank God you finished. That's right. We got more, more music coming your way. We've got a ask uncle Bobby coming up around the seven 40 ish hour and I'm sure we've got people to make fun of and that'll happen. (18:07) So don't worry. LGBT community. We're, we're, we're going to talk about you. Yeah. Arians. Y'all stick around. Don't go nowhere. You actually like this. Yeah, dude. It's classic rock. Well, there's more where that came from. 100.3 KROCK. You know, what's even worse is nobody knows what it's like to be the, uh, to be the blind man, to be the sad man behind brown eyes. (18:29) Just saying, well, nobody asks and nobody brings it up. So exactly, exactly, exactly. Maybe we should do a government study. I'm sure someone has for a grant. (18:44) You know, the interesting thing that I learned is, uh, there's no such thing as a, the color blue in eyes that that's not, that's not an actual color. What it is is it's actually clear. Oh yeah. It's a, it's a, it's a lack there of, of the melatonin that makes brown eyes. (19:00) Okay. That's actually clear. And what you're seeing is the back of the eye really reflected through. Yeah. I thought that was interesting, which brings up a whole nother question about albinoism, but I'm not, it's too early. It's too early, Tom. We can dig into that. If you want Bobby. (19:16) Sounds like another grant. Right. Right. Right. Oh, Hey folks. It's a, just after seven o'clock here on a Friday, man, it's a, it's ready for the weekend. It is two hours and you and I are in the weekend because you know, we don't do anything after we get off the show. (19:32) I mean, that's it. That's right. I collect my paycheck. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. That's not the way it works. If I, if I had a dollar for everybody, like, Hey man, can you stop by here at nine 30? Like, yeah. Well, you're the only person I know that's already done working. No, my day's just starting. (19:49) It's interesting the way people think it works. I mean, you don't know, you don't know. So yeah. You know, and you're in radio, you make gobs of money. Yeah. Yeah. Your personality. I got it. I make enough money that would make anyone that was earning a paycheck in 1929 jealous. (20:10) Well, Schuyler has told me when I get that paycheck, it's really going to impress me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure is. I've never seen that many sequential zeros after a decimal point. I was going to say preceding the decimal point. (20:30) Before and after. Before we got to a number, right? Folks, you're listening to the B Team Morning Show right here on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. Brought to you in part by our friends over at Outkast Sushi, Stripes Pub and Grill, and Okaloosa Gas. Thank you for your sponsorship, bringing us and our voices to the world. Schuyler's out today because, well, he doesn't like y'all. (20:56) He doesn't care about you. He decided he had other things to do. And, you know, it's funny, when Jim was on the show, he was listening all morning. Now he's not. I did the same thing yesterday. Oh, yeah? Yeah. So y'all were just, y'all didn't trust Jim. Is that what it was? I get it. I get it. Good old whispering, Jim. And funny, he hasn't sent one. (21:15) Oh, he doesn't care. One little, yeah, anything. Nothing. No advice. He's probably still asleep after the bourbon show last night. If he's smart, he is. I sure would have liked to have been. I would be right now. Yeah. Talking to Dan Diamond over on Sister Station 94.3 this morning, we were talking about it, and his response was, both of you are older enough to know better. (21:40) Obviously not. Like, clearly. Based on the evidence. We ain't learned that much yet. Based on the evidence, I don't think so. I'm not a smart man. Yeah, that's right. Folks, it's 63 out there right now, climbing up to a high of 78 today with winds out of the south-southwest, about 10 to 15 miles per hour. It's gonna be kind of a low humidity day at 70%, with sunset around 715. Overnight lows around 65, mainly clear. Wind's still gonna be out of that southwest at about 5 to 10. UV index is pretty high out there today, about 10 out of 11. So if you're gonna be outside and moving around and making things happen, just know this. Slather on a little bit of sunscreen. Now, the weekend looks a little different. Saturday's gonna be mostly cloudy with highs around 77, lows at 65, and winds at about 10 miles per hour with that chance of rain climbing up to 13%. And on Sunday, that's our highest chance of rain at 24%. Winds at 18 miles an hour out of the north, high 70 and low at 53. So your pretty day is today. (22:53) But don't worry. Don't worry. There'll be plenty of sunshine, plenty of things happening. You know, I'm not a sunscreen person. No? And I'm a redhead. Yeah. But I am not a sunscreen person. I don't advocate it. I just, you're putting, this is my opinion. That's it. You're putting a chemical on the most absorbent part of your body. Well, Tom, I don't know how to break this to you, but you are not a redhead. I mean, you're a skinhead. I was. Well, I guess I shouldn't call you that. Ginger. You're bald. Yeah, yeah. No, only a ginger can call another ginger. Ginger. Well, that's, it's a, it's a, you know, it's a, it's a small little word. It's got an N and I, two Gs, an E and an R. It's interesting how that is, huh? You can't, you can't say that one either. Right. And what hair you do have left, Tom, it is, it is definitely not red. Oh, I know. I know. There's no red anywhere. Much, much, much like my, you know, it was funny. I, uh, uh, Saturday night, uh, we were out and, uh, ran into, uh, my cousin. Yeah. (24:05) And, uh, ran into her, her new boyfriend and he was, he was talking a little bit and he's like, ah, I don't know. First of all, I kept calling the old timer. Yeah. I'm like, all right, kid, you can get about one more of those in there. And then he's like, oh man, but no, seriously, I'm just trying to be respectful. You look great. You're like what? 64. (24:22) Son, don't make me have a different conversation with you. Take you out behind the woodshed. I'm about to 64 years. What I'm about to do right here. (24:37) Let me, let me tell you what, call me 64, man. Yeah. Anyway. All right. Hey folks, uh, stick around. We got a lot more music coming your way right now. This is a war with, well, it's what all my friends do. You know, I used to think this was about a vehicle. Now I realize it's just about trying to get up low rider right here. 100.3 KROCK. The classic rock station. This is the VT morning show. The only Bob and Tom that matter. Abra cadabra, Steve Miller band right there. I tell you who's, who's wishing for a little abracadabra right now. Well, no, I think it's, I think it's the state of California. Oh yeah. Yeah. California can't account for a million dollars in taxpayer money meant for Dolly Parton's imagination library. Isn't that amazing? (25:24) One more thing that, you know, where, where there's no accountability for exactly that California launched a literacy program with Dolly Parton, mailing free books to young kids across the state. But now lawmakers say a chunk of the money behind it, well, it's just basically gone missing. Wow. (25:41) See the state approved about 68 million to expand Parton's imagination library statewide aimed at getting books into the hands of kids under five. But during a recent budget hearing, officials admitted that they can't fully account for hundreds of thousands of dollars, reportedly around 650,000 to over 1 million tied to the program. Now the controversy centers around the California state library, which was supposed to oversee the funds. (26:06) Lawmakers are questioning why a separate nonprofit was created to help manage the money and what exactly happened to the portion that can't be tracked. Meanwhile, the actual program itself is still operating, sending out books and enrolling kids, but the missing money is sparked bipartisan, bipartisan concern and calls for answers about oversight and transparency. That's crazy. Yeah. Way to go, Gavin. That is just crazy. (26:28) Yeah. Oh man. Yeah. So there you go. Abra abracadabra money's gone. And you know, this is just one story. There's, there's a hundred of them out there, you know, and I, and I'm sure Florida has its issues and I'm sure there's accountability errors, you know, that, that are out there. I have no doubt. Shut your mouth. I know. But, uh, but that many, you know, where there's smoke, there's fire. That's my thing. And that just, that just speaks to the whole political arena out there in California. And I grew up out there. (27:02) Well, Hey, you know, the one thing California can say right now is at least we're not Minnesota. They can say that right now because, because tomorrow who knows. And what I mean by that is that it just keeps piling up one thing after another. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. Uh, Tim walls was quoted as saying on the issue, thank God it's not me. I'm sure he is. (27:28) Oh man. Uh, it's, uh, yeah, it's Friday folks. It, uh, it's definitely Friday. Hey, uh, you know, as, as always give, give another little shout out to, uh, to our sponsors, uh, stripes pub and grill, uh, outcast sushi and, uh, Okaloosa gas out there.

So stick around, don't go nowhere. You listen to the BT morning show with Bobby and Tom, the only Bob and Tom that matter. Right. The clash right there with a train in vain. (29:09) Yeah. I mean, everybody calls it stand by me, but they, you know, it's one of, it's one of those where they tried to name it something, uh, something fancy. Yeah. It's not really what it's called. Yeah. That's, that's not what anybody ever called it. Yeah. I think some of those are crazy, you know, like, you know, that song, blah, blah, blah. You mean? Yeah. Well, why'd they name it that? I don't know. I wasn't, I wasn't there. They didn't, they didn't, they didn't ask me. I was, I was not consulted. I don't, I don't know how to tell you that. Right. Anyway. Well, Tom, with that music, you know what that means? I do know what that means. It's seven 40. It's time to, uh, to get the, that masterful wizard of knowledge, the man that, that, well, he met it all once. (29:59) And yeah, well, told him what he knew. I feel like Bobby, after reading this question for this, this, this dedicated listener. No, I'm not. Maybe this guy knows me. This is about me. Well, we're pretty sure the question that came in yesterday was from you. (30:19) It could have been so. Hey, folks, it's it's time for Ask Uncle Bobby stitched together by friends over at By Tomcat Custom Apparel. By Tomcat Custom Apparel reminding you that flowers die in a week, but custom shirts, well, they last much longer and mom will notice the difference. (30:37) She will. So By Tomcat's got you covered. That's right. Reach out today over in Wright Plaza, right there, just down from Main Brew and and the new Gap Spot. The new Gap Spot. That's right. Open it up next month. That's right. That's right. So, Tom, you've you've been into the email inbox. (30:54) You've you've you've met today's questioner. You know what they've got going. So so lay it on me, Tom. Let's see what knowledge we can give these guys. Yeah. So like I said, I think this one was written maybe about me. Three three day read receipts. Ask the question. My friend has not responded to my text for three days. I cannot stop thinking I did something wrong and I keep replaying our last conversation in my head. What should I do? Well, let me tell you this. Three days of silence is not an accident. That's a decision. It's a message. And the message is you're being tested like a lab rat with feelings. Yeah. Look, people love pretending they're busy, like their their thumbs got drafted into the military. No, no, no, no. If someone can breathe, they can text. (31:44) This is not a friendship moment. This is a chess board and your friend just slid a piece across the table and stared at you like you're supposed to understand the rules. So here's the principle. You treat the silence like a weapon and you pick it up by the handle. That's right. You do not send another normal text. No, no, no, no. Normal texts are for civilians. You send a calm, icy final note that says you have noticed the distance and you respect it and you hope everything is OK and you leave it dripping, dripping with implication. OK, then you go social. You do not confront. You seed. You see, you drop a casual line to a mutual friend that you're a little concerned because the vibe's been off and you hope nothing got misrepresented and you just want peace. Yeah. (32:29) Now the air is full of smoke and everybody starts sniffing for a fire. Now, while you're doing all that, you go radio silent yourself, not as a tactic, as a doctrine. You let them sit in the quiet they built like a person who lit a fuse and suddenly remembered they live in the same house. (32:49) There you go. Sage advice. That's I'm telling you, man. That's the way I handle it. You ever notice that? Well, you you have been the victim of me not texting you back. I've also not texted you back. Exactly. I'm not a big text messenger. Oh, no, no, no. And what's so funny is Schuyler Schuyler complains all the time because, you know, the the new RCS chats that they've got set up can actually send read receipts. Yeah. So he's like, so I'll know he read it. Oh, yeah. Like, yeah, exactly. Just because I read it doesn't mean I'm going to do something right now. (33:24) And I you know, I get I get on these different chats and everything like that. I mean, there's a hundred or more messages that come to me every day. If I stopped to to respond to all of them, I would never my hands would never do anything but respond to text message. I wish it was just 100. And I just and I can't work that way. Well, I was being conservative. I know I've counted them. (33:46) I've gotten so frustrated. I've counted them. And I've had over 400 in one day. Oh, yeah. And it's like, I just can't do it. You know, between between email, text message, group me exactly like a WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger. Look, if you Facebook message me, it ain't happening. (34:03) I never. Yeah. I'm not away from Facebook message. No, I just do not respond. Right. I'm the same way. You Facebook message me. If I if I know you and want to talk to you, I'll send you a text text message. It's on my time to get back. I'm sorry. But that's just the way I operate. Yeah, that is it is asynchronous in its nature. Yeah. Yeah. (34:23) I, you know, I don't know. Yeah, it's this is a long discussion. And that's right. Yeah, there's there's a lot to it. And some people do get so offended if they don't get something back right away. Well, and what I think is hilarious is you got a boomer and a Gen X are talking about text messages like, yeah, screw it. Yeah. Well, and if somebody says to me, hey, man, Scott is losing his mind. He's twitching. You know, somebody will say to me, hey, man, I'm a text message of this or you know, we got off a phone conversation, then I'm looking for something that's a little bit different. But but just to send me a text message most of the time, it you know, you're an hour or two away from me getting back to you, right? If you get something back from me right away, it's just because it happened to pop up while it was sitting in front of me. Yeah, well, and then you could you could always go my mom's right. She she texts me and then calls me to tell me what she texted me. There you go. Yeah. I love that, too. Yeah. Yeah, that's always helpful. And sometimes it's just easier to call and talk about there because this text conversation is going to go on for an hour. Oh, yeah, I've I've I've actually done that a few times with people and freaked them out. Like, you know, after about the fourth turn, you're right on it. I'm just like, I'll hit call. And then they're like, hello. Yeah, man, I'm tired of I'm tired of trying to type. Yeah, it's going to take us all day. (35:43) Right. We're getting there. And and you're moving from I'm still trying to answer the first thing. Yeah. And you've gone four questions in. Right. This ain't happening. All right, folks, we got our local news coming up right now. And then we're going to be back with Alice Cooper, Jimi Hendrix and more. So y'all stick around. Don't go nowhere. (36:04) Taking care of business. That's what we're trying to do this Friday morning. You're listening to The B Team morning show right here at one hundred point three KROCK, the classic rock station brought to you in part by friends over at Stripes Pub and Grill, Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi. (36:20) I'm Bobby Dewrell sitting here on Mike one. Take a filling in for Schuyler Black, who. Well, he just I don't know. He just doesn't care about you. He doesn't care. Doesn't like you. Doesn't want you. That other voice over there. That's the one. The only Uncle Tom. Yeah. Skinhead Uncle Tom. That sounds bad. Maybe. I don't know. It doesn't. I don't hear it. Yeah, I don't hear it. I don't know. I have to ask the LGBT. Yeah, it just doesn't sound right. They're sound right. Yeah. (36:49) Larry, Gary and Barry. Yeah. Toys. Toys. Yeah. Yeah. The LGBT. Yeah. All right. Schuyler calls them the Aryans. Yeah. Let's see what the Aryans think about you. Skinhead Tom. I Bobby. It's not getting any better. I can tell you that. That's right. It's a BT morning show right here with with the only Bob and Tom that matter. That's right. That's right. Tell us, Schuyler. Right. (37:13) That's right. Yeah. We don't need him. Yeah. He doesn't care anyway. We it's a it's a beautiful Friday. I got to tell you, folks, it's it's the prettiest day of the weekend right now. So far, it it's warming up out there. The fog's burned away. There wasn't that much today, though, really to speak of. It's already a hit. Seventy degrees. We're working up to a high of seventy eight today with some winds out of the south at ten to fifteen tonight. We're going to have C-65 with a few passing clouds and winds at southwest at five to ten. Now the UV index is up there today. It's ten out of eleven. So make sure if you're out before that sunset at seven fifteen that, you know, that you cover up because it's it's there. But Saturday, we're going to see highs around seventy eight, lows at sixty five, partly cloudy, eleven percent chance of rain, winds out of the southwest about ten miles an hour. Sunday, it's going to be 70 with a low of fifty three. Definitely cloudy. That rain chance is going to drop or is going to pick up to twenty four percent and winds out of the north at eighteen. So it it'll be breezy. Yeah, it'll be breezy. You know, that was pretty prophetic, which is prophetic. Yeah. What you said a few moments ago. Are you trying to say prophetic or pathetic? No, prophetic. You know, this is the most beautiful day of the weekend so far, and it is the first day of the weekend. Exactly. So, yeah, you can't be wrong. I know. I know. All right. Good way to put that, Bobby. That's why I tell people it's hard to argue with me when you're wrong. You're playing the odds. That's right. I couch my words, man. I know what I'm saying. That was impressive. Oh, speaking of impressive, you got any stories out there, Tom, anything to talk about what's happening in the news? I do, man. Tiger Woods is fighting a legal request to hand over his prescription drug records in his DUI case. (39:02) Interesting. It's a DUI case because although he showed signs of impairment, he actually tested negative for alcohol, but he did have prescription pills on him and he refused a drug test. And prosecutors now want to get the detailed information from his pharmacy, like what meds he was taking, how often the doses is, and all that to see if they played a role in the crash that happened back in March. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, this brings up the question of, you know, privacy and everything like that, especially in a case like this. Yeah. It certainly feels like overreach. (39:39) It does. You know, but then if you looked at it from, say it was, you know, a little more catastrophic where somebody lost their life or something like that, now is it, does it make it right that they go after his prescription records? Yeah. I mean... (39:59) You know, I yeah, and I guess the court can determine that yes, they are. They are part of the case and and then they do have to hand them over. But in this case, it's just a request and and they're fighting back against it. So yeah, yeah, I look, I understand why you're saying no. And it's certainly there. I mean, you know, I feel like most of the DUI laws are complete and total overreach anyway, but that's Yeah, I, you know, nothing like some angry women yelling and making rules. They're just mad, Tom. They're just mad. That's all I'm going to say. Well, and I'm okay, mad. (40:39) All right, folks, stick around. We've got more to talk about. You've only got about 45 minutes with us. And then we're, we're heading out of here and heading for the weekend. But until then, we got Brian Adams run to you right now. 100.3, 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. (40:58) It's a BT morning show with Bob and Tom. The only ones that matter. It's us. I still just think it's rude and awkward. But Tom wanted to make sure that Eric Aiden knew that he was dedicating that song to him. It's just weird. He's parked next to my truck. It's weird. Yeah, I think you're going to get some visitors today. You're going to get some visitors today over at shops at Wright Plaza by Tomcat. Great custom apparel. Yeah, we'll see him. (41:31) That's right. By Tomcat custom apparel, where the custom apparel is made just for you. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think he's coming to get any contracts with you now. Well, except for that one. Yeah, except for that one. Yeah, you're going to get some new accessories, Tom. You're going to get some new accessories. Half past eight o'clock right here on the BT morning show right here. 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station, the BT morning show brought to you in part by our friends over at Stripes Pub and Grill, Okaloosa Gas. (41:59) And now OutKast Sushi out in Miramar Beach. Thank you guys for your support and letting our voices be heard, even though Tom saying inappropriate things. Oh, I got an appropriate one for you. It's a it's a beautiful Friday. It's already up to 73 degrees out there, folks hitting the high today of 79. (42:19) We've got winds south at 10 to 15 miles per hour. UV is up there. It's 10 out of 11. So it's a cover up day if you're going to be out before that sunset at 715 tonight. A few passing clouds low near 65 winds southwest 5 to 10. Now, this is the best day of the weekend because tomorrow they're calling for 78 high 66 low, partly cloudy, 11 percent chance of rain and again, some winds out of the out of the south at 10 miles an hour. (42:47) But Sunday, Sunday's when it gets interesting. Yeah. Yeah. We've got a high of 71 lows around 53. Definitely a cloudy day with a 24 percent chance of rain and winds out of the north at 18 miles an hour. Now, what I think is funny about that, Tom, is it's Weta Fest over at the Fort Walton Yacht Club. (43:05) What is a small little basically like a personal trimaran made out of made out of New Zealand called the Weta for the for the bug that's down there. Right. And anyway, they always have their international Weta Fest. We started it back before right before I was Commodore. Maybe my Commodore year. I think we seem in it. And every year in April, we'd have Weta Fest. And it's this weekend. And true to form, it'll be blowing 18 in a boat that needs about two. (43:33) So pretty sporty. So for the wetas out there, have fun Sunday. Yeah. You're going to you're going to go screaming across the bay. I mean, you'll love it. You'll love it until you get out there and you realize, oh, my God, it's too much wind for for for the amount of boat or the crew that I've got. Right. Yeah. Right. Well, and and at our age, you realize it's too much wind for our age. (43:59) Yeah, I mean, yeah, I'm not that. No, there's no such thing. No, no, no. Okay. Okay. Well, hey, Tom, a new new study out saying that for young Americans, they're showing a new religion gap. Okay. And it's actually flipped among genders. Okay. Among millennials and Gen Z men are becoming more religious, while women are, well, they're becoming whores. (44:23) That was unexpected. Among millennials and Gen Z men are becoming more religious, while women are becoming less religious or staying the same. Okay. Experts say men may be seeking structure and community, while women are pulling back over social and political issues tied to religion. Okay. I feel like I said it the same way. Yeah, I don't think you did, Bobby. (44:45) You know, there's there's days that I really wish the studio phone wasn't broke. Yes, I know. Right now. I know. I'm probably getting text messages. Yeah, your phone phone's buzzing. That's an interesting one. Yeah, that's a it was it's you know, I thought it was a I thought it was a interesting one one one out there. So and you know what, I just I had to because, you know, the next song up is coming out. (45:13) You know, the next song up is cued for this specifically. It obviously does not go out to the women anymore. It's a slaughter fly to the angels. Okay. So you keep up millennials and Gen Z. You men are doing it right. You're listening to the BT morning show 100.3 KROCK ZZ top and legs. She knows how to use them. She does. That's right. That's why we played that. It's not lost on me. Yes, folks. (45:42) We did have that fun. We talked about the young ladies are not turning to religion like the young men. So we played flight angels and legs back to back. But hey, don't worry, ladies. I've got a little bit of redemption for you because further reading and research in the news today, Tom, I think I know why most of these young men are turning to religion. (46:02) Why is that, Bobby? Well, online sports betting is exploded and young men are right in the middle of it. Yeah. Yeah. More than half of men ages 18 to 49 now have an online sport book account showing just how common it's become. Oh, boy. Yeah. So what's driving it? Well, it's super easy. You can bet straight from your phone during games, even on tiny moments like the next play, making it feel fast, constant and hard to stop. (46:27) Experts say these apps are designed a lot like social media or video games. It's quick hits, constant updates and instant rewards, which can pull people in and keep them coming back. Exactly. And it's not just casual. No data shows a lot of bettors are chasing losses. That's betting more to win money back. Right. Spending more than they planned, feeling stress, guilt and regret afterwards. And there's also concern. It's become a public health issue, especially for younger men. (46:56) As betting becomes more normalized through ad sports broadcasts and culture. Yes, it does. So there you go. These young men are turning to Jesus because Tommy Four Fingers is coming to collect. Yeah. Yeah. The sports bookie all of a sudden. That's right. It's time to pay up. Yeah. Yeah. When when when you're when you're down in a big loss and you don't have the money to pay the rent or the child support. Well, you find Jesus. Yes, you do. It's the only place you can go. That's right. Jesus. Take the wheel. Wow. (47:24) So there you go, ladies. It's it's all a sham. Yeah. Yeah. We we were trying to give the guys some credit, but now it's a it's a friggin degenerates. That's all we've got degenerates and whores. (47:40) I know. Right. All right, folks. We got our local news coming up right now. And then we're going to be back with the cars and Pat Benatar and somewhere in there. We're going to say sign. All right. See you later. And and get get on out of here. Head off on the weekend. Got nothing else. That's right. Today. Right. Yeah. Sure. Sure. I'm going to go home and take a nap. Yeah. Let's do that. Yeah. All right. Stick around. You're listening to the BT morning show right here. One hundred point three KROCK the classic rock station. It's Bobby and Tom. (48:05) The only Bob and Tom that matter.
