Beautician's Day & the Panhandling Task Force: How Bobby Pins and Boredom Keep Fort Walton From Completely Falling Apart

(00:01) Here's today's B Team Redux. We're rocking into the 6 o'clock hour. We're the B Team. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell. Brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre. Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Alright, it's Friday. Are you ready for the weekend? (00:18) Sure. I really feel the enthusiasm there, Bobby. I really do. Going to see a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms midday today. Mostly sunny. A high of 90 for Saturday. Sunny in 91. And Sunday, sunny in 93. (00:34) So, lower chances of rainfall for the weekend. Unlike what we've seen the last couple of days. But, the heat and humidity is definitely going to be prevalent. So, just a heads up on that. We'll get the full forecast coming your way. (00:50) Plus, Dan Diamond's local news later on in the hour as well. But today, Bobby, I think you really, really owe your beautician a thank you. Because it is Beautician's Day. Oh, yeah, yeah. Because society can't handle the truth. (01:06) So, we pay professionals to airbrush something we can post. That's right. That's right. Right? Beautician's Day is that annual reminder that civilization is basically held together by Bobby pins, acetone fumes, and, well, one brave soul telling you gently that your bangs are a cry for help. (01:25) Look, it's a holiday for people who can turn a rough week into a presentable face and do it while listening to your entire life story. You know, like it's a podcast they can't unsubscribe from. Look, you're not celebrating vanity. You're celebrating maintenance, right? (01:41) The sacred art of looking fine when your spirit is doing cartwheels in traffic. So, tip like you got sent. Sit still like you were raised right. And remember, the mirror doesn't lie. It just waits for a professional to translate. (01:57) Yeah, the world just sometimes isn't fair, Bobby. Just like I'm a hell of a lot better looking than you are. Hey, God is just, God is fair. Some he gave brains, the rest he gave hair. That's great. Here's the police. (02:12) You got it. The Steve Miller Band and Jet Airliner on the Classic Rock Station, 100.3 KROCK. Good morning, everybody. How you doing? I'm Schuyler Black. He is Bobby Dewrell. B Team Morning Show brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre as well as Okaloosa Gas and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. (02:31) Speaking of our friends at Stripes, Rob Reyes is going to be bringing in author John Alvarez, author of Walk, Run, Fly Again for a book signing at Stripes on the 4th of July. Now, special ops pilot John Alvarez became the first military amputee to return to unrestricted combat flight. (02:53) And you can learn more about John and meet him with a book signing at Stripes next Saturday. We're also going to have him here on the air with us next Friday, July 3rd to talk about that. So looking forward to it. We've got more details for you online on thebteamshow.com. (03:09) Just click on the Events tab. Well, today, Bobby, I don't know. Do you want a daiquiri? Do you want a margarita? It's Tropical Cocktails Day. Yeah, yeah, that holiday where adults pay $12 to drink sunscreen and pretend the paper umbrella is therapy. (03:28) And tourists, we thank you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, Tropical Cocktails Day is that annual reminder that adulthood is just paying bills while pretending a pineapple can fix your personality. See, you take rum, fruit juice, and a tiny paper umbrella because nothing says, I'm in control like drinking a vacation you can't afford. (03:46) You know what? Look, it's not about authenticity, culture, or even taste. It's about optimism with a hangover scheduled for tomorrow morning. So, yeah, it's absurd, and that's the point. Today, we all cosplay as relaxed people and see who cracks first. (04:01) Tropical Cocktails Day. What's your go-to? On tropical cocktails? Not really any, but, I mean. Maybe a mojito? Yeah, I do love a good mojito. As a kid, I used to love drinking pina coladas. You know, pina coladas were obviously virgin, but, yeah. (04:17) I mean, pina coladas are usually pretty good. Yeah. I enjoy it. A little sweet. Well, you need that help. Yeah. That's it for this week's Catch Your Forecast. It's coming up next on the B Team Morning Show with 100.3 KROCK. Standby for more ROQ. (04:32) 100.3 KROCK. Apparently, that happened yesterday out in Destin at Big Kahuna's with that world's largest swimming lesson. Yeah, yeah. You don't seem enthused or excited or amused by it. Exactly. (04:48) I'm exactly meh on it. What thing can we come up with where we could break a world record? I don't know. I don't know. Continuous nose picking? Seems like something. Wow. Yeah. (05:03) Digging for corn. It's the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. Schuyler Black and Bobby Durrell appreciate you dialing in and spending the tail end of the work week with us. We are so happy it's Friday. I am. (05:18) I am because I do have to see you tomorrow, don't I? Mm-hmm. Damn, I was going to say I'm happy I don't have to see Bobby tomorrow, but wrong. Coming and staying at my place all weekend. Yeah, well, that wasn't by choice. That was by Taylor's choice. (05:34) Hey, today on the National Day calendar, it's take your dog to work day. Oh, finally a co-worker who listens, doesn't circle back, and has better email etiquette than management, huh? Oh, take your dog to work day is that annual corporate fever dream where the same people who can't refill the copier paper decide they're ready for, well, interspecies office diplomacy. (05:58) See, everybody pretends it's about morale, but it's really about proving your fur baby is better behaved than Dave from accounting. And honestly, the dog usually wins. Look, HR drafts a policy, managers practice their fake laugh, and the office becomes a cocktail of kibble, confidence, and low-grade panic. (06:15) You know, it's absurd on purpose, like most traditions. But look, it tells you everything you need to know about how badly we all want to reason to not be fully human at work. Fair enough. Take your dog to work day. (06:30) It's Friday. That's one way to do it. ZZ Top on the BT Morning Show with 100.3K Rock, good morning. That's a song about buying her a necklace. Yes, something like that. Don Henley's Dirty Laundry on the Classic Rock Station. (06:47) 100.3K Rock, good morning, everybody. It's Friday. Thanks for dialing in and spending it with us for the B Team Morning Show. Don't forget, coming up during the 8 o'clock hour this morning, Bobby's nearly impossible trivia question. A chance for you to win some free food from Lenny's. (07:03) That's right. That's right. Seven and a half inch sub is up for grabs today. Just listen for his trivia question in the queue to call in and win. The cool thing is each winner is going to be a qualifier to win a catering and picnic on the 4th of July from Lenny's valued at $250. (07:24) For America 250, you see what we did there? Yep. Listen for the chance to win today during the 8 o'clock hour. Today, Bobby, on the National Day Calendar, we round it out with Forgiveness Day. This is when people apologize like it's a coupon and I'm supposed to redeem it instead of framing it as evidence. (07:41) You don't. Exactly. Hey, Forgiveness Day is that annual civic cleanup where we all pretend our grudges are just clutter and not a personality trait. Look, you call the cousin you haven't spoken to since the great potato salad incident and you let go of the thing you bring up at every barbecue and you slap a fresh coat of virtue on the same old cracks like it's home improvement. (08:03) Look, it's not about being holy. It's about being tired and realize revenge is expensive and therapy is, well, it has a waiting list. So, take the hint, unclench your jaw, make your amends now, because tomorrow you'll be back to collecting petty like it's a retirement plan. (08:20) There you go. It is Forgiveness Day. What am I supposed to forgive you for? You can't. What did I do wrong? Perfect over here. We're not going to discuss that on the air. It's kind of hard to forgive me. Stick tight. I haven't done anything. (08:36) Bobby playing victim again. God almighty. It's a BT morning show on a Friday on the Classic Rock Station. We are 100.3 KROCK. Stand by for more rock. 100.3 KROCK. (08:51) Your Omni Broadcasting News is brought to you by McCaskill & Company, the Emerald Coast's finest jeweler. I'm Dan Diamond. Okaloosa County Commissioners voted unanimously on June 16th to declare panhandling, vagrancy, and a range of related community issues a matter of urgent public importance and to create a task force charged with studying the problem and recommending action. (09:12) The agenda item brought by Deputy County Administrator Craig Coffey identified a list of concerns affecting residents countywide. According to the staff document, those include panhandling and vagrancy, traffic safety, people sleeping on the side of the road, littering, drug use, theft, breaking and entering, and other crimes. (09:32) The intersection of Bill Parkway and First Street is now a right-turn only crossing after a crew from Acme Barricades began installing traffic separators Wednesday, completing a safety change originally scheduled to start last week before weather delays pushed the work back. (09:47) And that's your Omni Broadcasting News, sponsored by McCaskill & Company. I'm Dan Diamond. Looking to buy or sell a home with someone who truly understands your needs?

The B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. There's the talking heads and she was on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. Good morning, everybody. Happy Friday. It's the B Team Morning Show. Scatter Black and Bobby Dewrell. God, I'm glad to say it's Friday. 77 degrees and partly cloudy skies outside today. A high of 91. Obviously had some storms rolling through early this morning. We'll see a high of 92 tomorrow and 94 on Sunday. So going to be a hot weekend, it's the final weekend before the 4th of July. So should we really be surprised? No. By the way, big weekend up in Florala. Yeah, it's going to be fun. The 24th of June celebration, that's what they call it, right? Yeah, that's correct. And it's the longest continually operating Masonic celebration in the country, right? That is true. Man, and it's been going on, let's see if I can remember, 140 some years? No, 150 plus. I've lost now, it was 150th somewhere over COVID. So it might be almost 155 now. Wow. 154, 155. I mean, Chief, if you're listening, call in and correct me. You're talking about Fire Chief? Yeah, I'm talking about Anthony Edwards, the Fire Chief up there. He's one of our big contacts, one of our big supporters in us coming up. Well, actually, all the guys in the fire department up there, big shout out to all of them for what they do and volunteering and giving of themselves the way they do. It's a good thing. It's a great day, though. Saturday, all day long, car show, vendors, food trucks around Lake Jackson, fireworks at dusk, a fun small town parade. Is that 10 or 11 in the morning? 11 is when the parade actually rolls. Yeah, we usually get in line up about 10. And then of course, five o'clock in the afternoon, the big water battle between the two next door neighbor fire departments. Right, right. And the crew of Boatlegs has its own team as well. But we usually take about 40-ish pirates up there for the parade. So if you're looking for something to do tomorrow, want to take a little road trip out of town, maybe avoid the chaos of all the extra beach traffic and tourist traffic for the weekend, head on up to Floralo for the 24th of June celebration. But tonight, downtown at the landing is the Cops and Cones event. Oh, yeah, that's right. That starts at, I believe, 6.30 this evening. Stop by, get yourself a ice cream sundae, bring the kids out. Another great community policing effort by the Fort Walton Beach Police Department. So that is free and open to the public. Well, free for the kiddos. If you're an adult, you can pay for your ice cream. Right, right. But they're going to have all the toppings and fixings and everything to make that sundae the way that you want. All right, we got a story out of Pensacola we're going to get to here in just a little bit about the lengths that people go to steal copper for cash. Well, there you go. Yeah, stay with us. We're the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell, brought to you by Stripes Pub and Grill in Navarre, Ocaloosa Gas at Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach on 100.3 KROCK. Music now from Eddie Money. (15:20) Music from Led Zeppelin this morning trampled underfoot on the classic rock station 100.3 KROCK. Taking a quick look at the the old radar, seeing some scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms across northwest Florida right now there is a cell that's in western Ocaloosa County, probably near Baker Holt right now, heading due east and should be in that Crestview area probably in the next 20 minutes. Also off to the east, seeing some showers and thunderstorms around Freeport and Defuniac and maybe a few sprinkles around Santa Rosa Beach. But here in south Ocaloosa County, things are dry right now. We do expect these showers and thunderstorms to push out of the area by midday today. But that full forecast is coming up here in just a little bit. Hope everybody's doing well on this Friday morning. (16:22) I'm Schuyler Black. He is Bobby Dewrell. We're brought to you each morning by our friends at Stripes Pub and Grill in Navarre, Ocaloosa Gas at Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. By the way, next Friday, Bobby, we have got author John Alvarez coming in. The author of Walk, Run and Fly Again. He's going to be doing a book signing at Stripes next Saturday on the 4th of July. He's going to come in next Friday and talk to us about the book signing and about the book and his story himself. Looking forward to learning more about that here next week. Now, story out of Pensacola this morning. Two people were arrested following a 10-month copper theft ring investigation in northwest Florida's largest city. Don't tell me I'm going to get you, you coppers. I see what you did there. Pensacola police say 37-year-old David Nielsen and 31-year-old Rayann Horn were charged. Now, according to police, light poles on bridges along the interstate were being stripped of its copper. Nielsen and Horn allegedly stole around a quarter of a million dollars worth of copper over the last 10 months. That's approximately 100,000 total feet. Police say arrest warrants were executed in Chico on a boat owned by Nielsen. Now, before Nielsen was apprehended by Florida Fish and Wildlife, he jumped into the water. Yeah, because swimming away from a boat works. Right, for about 8 seconds. Police say that Horn did not resist. Nielsen was charged with theft of copper from utility poles, a first-degree felony, and felony criminal mischief. Horn faces charges of dealing in stolen property, and she's accused of selling the copper to scrap yards. Pensacola police led the investigation along with Florida Highway Patrol from September of last year to present day. Escambia County Sheriff's Office, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission also assisted during the investigation. So, wow. Quarter of a million dollars. Pretty good haul. Yeah, that's different. It is different. Man, there's their mug, but she is bugging out there. Yeah, yeah. She looks a little excited to be there. She does. She looks wired at this point. No pun intended. No, you meant it, and it was bad. Actually, it really wasn't. It was bad. (19:00) I thought it was one of my better efforts. Not going to lie. All right, let's take a break. We're 20 minutes out from getting advice, the last bit of advice from Uncle Bobby for this week. And by the way, I did not say it wasn't one of your better efforts. I said it was bad. So, no matter what I do, in Bobby's eyes, it sucks. I mean, I said it. All right, stick tight. You're almost starting to learn. Yeah, thanks. You can teach me, can't you? (19:30) It's 728. Weather is next. ACDC on 100.3 KROCK, the Classic Rock Station. Good morning, everybody. Hope you're doing well. Scott Irblank and Bobby Dewrell. Friday. That's right. Friday. (19:46) That's right. Hey, by the way, Friday. Bobby, President Trump might have been right about vandalism at the newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. A top National Park Service official said in a court filing that workers now discovered damage on June 9th, including a foam seal that had been cut with a sharp knife or razor. (20:12) Sometimes work doesn't hold up. About 70 fence post caps were also thrown into the water. The filing is the first public confirmation that at least some of the damage appears to have been intentional. (20:41) Trump had previously blamed vandals for the problems, including peeling on the pool's new $14.7 million coating. The reflecting pool has also struggled with algae growth since the renovation, and officials now plan to drain the pool and begin repairs after the 4th of July celebrations. (20:58) So far, five people have been arrested in connection with alleged vandalism, while five others have received federal citations. Investigators say more evidence could be revealed as an ongoing court battle over the project moves forward. You know, this is just the weaponization of justice. (21:15) You know who you sound like right now? Well, I just want to point out that, you know, when the Obama administration and the Biden administration went after Trump, it was, you know, it was nobody's above the law. (21:30) But now, I know, you know, it's the weaponization of justice. Double standards. Just, you know, hypocrisy. Cute. It's just cute. In other news, right here locally, Okaloosa County commissioners, in lieu of the expected ad valorem homestead tax bill, have directed staff to continue exploring a paid parking program for select beaches, parks, and boat ramps across the county, with a proposal that would keep parking free for county residents while charging visitors. (22:03) Officials say any revenue generated will help fund maintenance and improvement to public facilities, potentially reducing the burden on local taxpayers. The plan is still in the early stages, with county leaders expected to review vendor proposals, fee structures, and possible pilot program before making any final decisions. (22:23) So, there you go. That could be in the works as well. But, yeah, you know that these various levels of government's going to be looking for new revenue. Oh, yeah. (22:38) Uncle Bobby's next. Yeah, old school. Uncle Bobby stopping by for advice this morning. Yeah. That's right. It's time for your daily advice on the B Team Morning Show. Ask Uncle Bobby, all stitched together byTomCat Custom Apparel. (22:53) Hey, TomCat Custom Apparel reminding you every family has one person who says, we don't need matching shirts. It's usually the same person that gets lost at Disney. Yeah, it's that moron. Uncle Moe. Listen to Uncle Bobby instead. (23:08) All right. Uncle Bobby, today you hear from the Mild Crisis Curator. Dear Uncle Bobby, I feel bored with my life, and I want more excitement. But nothing interesting happens. (23:23) How can I create more drama and meaning in my everyday routine without completely derailing everything? Look, listen here. Boredom is not a mood, okay? It is a personal failure of imagination wearing sweatpants. (23:39) And you do not need a new life. You need a better plot. See, you got to start treating every moment, every mundane moment, like it's evidence in a trial. Where you are both the victim and the prosecutor, okay? A co-worker replies with one word. (23:55) Well, that's not efficiency. That's emotional sabotage. Your neighbor doesn't wave back at you. Well, congratulations. You have entered the Cold War phase of a decades-long rivalry that ends with one of you moving or legally changing your name. (24:10) Then, then you build your character arc, okay? Because you're not just living. No, you're performing. You do not merely run errands. You stage a redemption tour after a scandal that only you fully understand. And you do not forget to text back. (24:26) No, you disappear strategically to test loyalty and force the supporting cast to reveal their true motives. See, conflicts need props. And life provides them like a discount theater. See, a spilled coffee becomes an omen, a prophecy, a warning of the universe that someone is working against you in the shadows. (24:46) Probably someone with a smug face and a neutral tone. And if anyone tries to calm you down, you label them an enabler of mediocrity and you move on. See, finally, you got to remember the golden rule here. Never resolve a storyline cleanly. (25:06) Closure is for people who enjoy beige walls and functional relationships. You got to keep a few open mysteries, rotate your alliances, and treat every Tuesday like it's the season finale. And that, my friends, is how not to be a fuddy-duddy. (25:22) I think that was the point, right? How I live my life. That's the Uncle Bobby life right there. Now, hey, if you'd like some Uncle Bobby DewBob merch to sport around the 4th of July, well, it exists. (25:40) Go to DewBob.com. And just remember that a portion of the proceeds from every sale of DewBob merch goes to the DewBob Empty Pocket Fund, supporting broke Bobbies all across Shalimar. (25:56) What other Bobbies do I know that live in Shalimar? It's 7.52. Of course, ask Uncle Bobby. We do this every single morning on the B Team Morning Show, all stitched together byTomCat Custom Apparel. By Tomcat Custom Apparel, where the apparel is custom for you. (26:14) That was good. News is next. You're welcome. Your omni-broadcasting news is brought to you by McCaskill & Company, the Emerald Coast's finest jeweler. I'm Dan Diamond. Okaloosa County Commissioners voted unanimously on June 16th to declare panhandling, vagrancy, and a range of related community issues a matter of urgent public importance, and to create a task force charged with studying the problem and recommending action. (26:37) The agenda item, brought by Deputy County Administrator Craig Coffey, identified a list of concerns affecting residents countywide. According to the staff document, those include panhandling and vagrancy, traffic safety, people sleeping on the side of the road, littering, drug use, theft, breaking and entering, and other crimes. (26:56) The intersection of Bill Parkway and First Street is now a right-turn-only crossing after a crew from Acme Barricades began installing traffic separators Wednesday, completing a safety change originally scheduled to start last week before weather delays pushed the work back. (27:11) And that's your omni-broadcasting news, sponsored by McCaskill & Company. I'm Dan Diamond. Expectations were flying high. Bobby was an Air Force pilot, and Holly, the love of his life, well, she was a pilot too. While they both went to the Air Force Academy, it wasn't until survival training that they actually met at a Bible study that Bobby started. (27:31) So when they came into McCaskill & Company, Bobby wanted a diamond engagement ring as high-performance as his Holly. They selected a forever-marked diamond, so bright and brilliant it looked like it had afterburners. Bobby got down on one knee right there and said, Holly, will you marry me? (27:47) And the rest, as they say, is fighter pilot history. If you've found your true love, if you feel the need for speed, come to the Bridal Design Gallery at McCaskill & Company, the Emerald Coast's finest jeweler. Where love really does take flight. (28:03) There's the doobies. Jesus, I think he's more than all right. Yeah. Good morning, everybody. 8.04 is the time, and happy Friday. That's right. The weekend just about here. 77 degrees outside your window right now. (28:20) A high today of, oh, 91. 91 this afternoon. 92 tomorrow. 94 on Sunday. So it is going to be a warm one out there. By the way, later on this hour, Bobby's got some nearly impossible trivia for you to call in and try to win. (28:38) A seven-and-a-half-inch sub from Lenny's. We're rolling subs in Mariester. And we've had some real smart folks this week. Yeah. Answer those questions that were just stumping me. (28:54) I'm glad that the listeners are smarter than I am. Well, that's not saying a whole hell of a lot. Come on, Bobby. Hey, the Okaloosa County Commissioners have decided ten days ago that, well, we've actually got a problem with panhandling and bums in this county. (29:13) June 16th, they declared panhandling, vagrancy, and a range of related community issues a matter of urgent public importance. And they created a task force charged with studying the problem and recommending action. Agenda item brought by Deputy County Administrator Craig Coffey and sponsored by Chairman Trey Goodwin identified a list of concerns affecting residents countywide. (29:36) According to the staff document, those include panhandling and vagrancy, traffic safety, people sleeping on the side of the road, littering, illegal camps and squatting, drug use, theft, breaking and entering, and other crime. Now, the document states these issues affect quality of life and property values and add cost to taxpayers through law enforcement, emergency medical services. (29:59) The Judiciary and Correctional System. The three-part item asks the board to declare the issues to a countywide priority and agree the county should take a leadership role and authorize the creation of a task force. The staff document notes that none of the three actions commits funding, adds ordinances or fees or obligates the county to any specific solution. All three passed in a single motion. Now, as approved, the task force will have 11 members. Each commissioner will make two appointments, which can include themselves and Commissioner Paul Mixon will serve as the chair. The body will operate under Florida's Sunshine Law. But we do have a problem, man. We've got a problem. We see it every day around our KROCK studios. We get here in the morning. There's people sleeping on the sidewalk. There's people sleeping out back. It's a widespread problem, and I'm glad that somebody's finally addressing it. But the task force is a good start, but it's a group of people talking, and I'd like to see some action behind it. (31:18) Well, I mean, it's got to start somewhere, right? So, you know, and hopefully that will lead to some action. But it does have to start somewhere. It does. I acknowledge that. I just wish it would have happened beforehand. (31:36) That's true. So anyway, that is something that the county is addressing now, and I'm glad about that. But I wanted to pass that along this morning. Get the Coast had the story on that, so I wanted to mention that. Also, coming up on Tuesday night, the final day of June is the final Boomin' Tuesday out at Baytown Wharf in Sandestin. Yeah, summer nights at the Village of Baytown Wharf are bright with the final Boomin' Tuesday coming up this Tuesday, June 30th. Family-friendly, free event brings a high-energy DJ dance party hosted by DJ Mike Whitty in the Events Plaza, as local shops and restaurants have sidewalk sales and specials all evening long. And the music starts at around 7.15. Fireworks light up the sky Tuesday night at 9.15 out at Baytown Wharf in Sandestin. Why Tuesday night? Because that's the night they pick. Is that okay with you? No. (32:40) Hmm. Sounds like a Bobby problem to me. All right, coming up, the cars, Van Halen, and a look at your forecast in the next 15 minutes. Plus, Bobby's nearly impossible trivia later on this hour. That's right. Be listening for the question and the cue to call in and win on the B Team Morning Show with 100.3 KROCK. Here's the sticks. (33:04) 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. It's the B Team Morning Show on a Friday. 8.22 is the time. The B Team Show, of course, brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill, Indovar, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Speaking of Stripes, we're going to have author John Alvarez, the author of Walk, Run, Fly Again. He's going to be doing a book signing on the 4th of July at Stripes. We're going to have him in on the show with us next Friday to talk about his story, talk about the book, and the event at Stripes next weekend. We've got more details on that at the bteamshow.com on the Events tab. Hey, just out of curiosity, Schuyler, there was a Fort Wallam City Council meeting on the 23rd, wasn't it? Tuesday night. Tuesday night. (33:57) You were there for that whole thing, weren't you? Yeah, most of it. I got there at four and decided I'd had enough by almost nine o'clock. Okay, but you saw both opportunities that the one EDC... Mr. Nathan Sparks. Nathan Sparks. He had a chance to talk and come before the board. He did. (34:14) Okay, and was Payne Walker allowed to ask some questions? He was. He was. Not the first time Nathan Sparks spoke because that was not a motion on the table. There was no vote. There was a presentation, but later when there was a motion on the table, Payne Walker was allowed to prove how stupid he is and ask some questions, right? That's correct. Okay, so I bring that up because there's a couple of groups out there now that want to spread lies and rumors and have pieced together what they want to be a narrative that Payne Walker seems to support based on his comments talking about how true it is that he was not allowed to ask questions with a motion on the table and was forced into silence when that's just not true. So you heard it from a person that was sitting there the whole time, and my whole point is check your facts because liars are liars. (35:03) Is that fair enough? That's fair enough. So there you go. And hey, Payne, you got a problem with it. You know the number to call in. Call in, but you won't because you never confront anybody for real because, well, this is where it is. You want to lie. You want to spread deceit. You want to sit back in the back and you continue to ruin a city that I grew up in, that I love, and you're just the worst thing that happened. So please stop. We're really tired of hearing it. And folks, here's what I'm going to encourage you to do. You see those little reports on Facebook because there's a couple of groups that are really there. You go in and you just report them. You report them as scam, fraud, and sharing false information, and it really blocks their algorithm. It'll make them think twice about fact-checking before they spread this crap. Yeah, and that's what's so frustrating is there's an echo chamber of just anarchists, right? Idiocy is what it is. On Facebook. And it's so frustrating because we do have, we've got a great city. We have our challenges, but we've got a great city. We've got a great staff. We've got people that work hard every single day. Yeah, knowing that there's no future, knowing that there's a 3% cap on their life, knowing things that as capitalists, we would never agree to. Exactly. And they show up every day. We've got this anti-growth one quarter of the city that tends to be the loudest and most vocal, but they control the narrative right now. And that's what's so frustrating. So I had a meeting with the city manager, Jason Davis, yesterday, and I have asked the city manager and TIO, Devin Ravine, to start feeding us feel-good stories, right? We need to talk about the good things happening in Fort Walton. Honestly, I'll go one different. Just feed us any and everything. (36:53) Right. We want to know the good, the bad, the ugly of things that our city employees are dealing with every day. And there's a lot of good stories out there that are not being told, because there's just people in the back that keep on shouting about waste, fraud, abuse, government insiders. It's just exhausting, and it doesn't do our city any good at all. We've got a great city. Well, and look, I won't even do the justice of calling it propaganda, because it's just fat-out lies. I mean, and this was a prime example. It is an out-and-out lie to say that the mayor did not allow a councilman to work his civic duty. I mean, it's just a lie. He said, no, you're not going to ask him at this time when it comes up for a motion. That's called Robert's Rules of Order. That's how you keep a meeting on track. That's how you move through appropriately. So we took a chairperson that's doing his job in a meeting, and we're turning it around and making it sound like he restricted someone else's civic duty. It's just a lie. And for Payne to jump in and agree with it and say, oh yeah, this is exactly what happened, well, come on, man. You know, no. And here again, with a motion on the table, the mayor of the city of Fort Walton did not allow your elected official. No, that is absolute wrong. That is crap. (38:25) Yeah, Mr. Sparks was giving his presentation during the 6 o'clock meeting, not the 5 o'clock meeting that was discussion of millage and cap spending and cutbacks. So anyway, it's absolutely false. Mr. Sparks, or Mr. Walker, was allowed to ask Mr. Sparks questions during the 6 o'clock meeting when he was on the agenda. So anyway, just trying to squash that crap that's going around right now. But well said, Bobby. Well said. All right, stick tight. Coming up in just a little bit, we're going to give you the chance to win a sandwich from Lenny's, Grill and Subs, and Mary Esther. So stick around. Bobby's got your nearly impossible trivia question coming up here in the next 10 minutes on the Classic Rock Station 100.3 KROCK. I don't know. We've got like 20 minutes left before the B Team morning show ends and the B Team encore hour begins. So should we stay or should we go? I think we should go. By the way, I like that song, but they overplayed the hell out of that in the Stranger Things series. True. Way overplayed it, just saying. (39:37) True. Beautiful sunshine this morning. The storms have pushed out of here. 81 degrees in Fort Walton, a high today of 91 degrees. Bobby just smacked the mic. Smacked the mic with his right hand. It looked like pain. Monkey, meet football. (39:59) Alright, it does look like the storms are pushing off to the east, so hopefully here in the next hour or so they will be completely out of Okaloosa County and moving on out of our listening area. Moving on down, moving on down the road. (40:16) Speaking of moving, we should move on to today's nearly impossible trivia question. Okay, well this one is ready. So if you know the answer, you've got to call 850-89-KROCK. That's 850-895-7625. That's the number to call. (40:32) Be the first caller with the correct answer to this question and you could win yourself a 7.5 inch sub from Lenny's. Plus be put in the drawing for a $250 value lunch for $20 on the 4th of July. So that's 850-89-KROCK. 850-89-KROCK. That's 850-895-7625. (40:52) Today's question is, whose oversized signature is the most famous on the Declaration of Independence? Oh, going a little bit harder today. That's right. Whose oversized signature is the most famous on the Declaration of Independence? (41:12) Hank Hill. Yeah, kind of close. But there you go. 850-89-KROCK. That's 850-895-7625. Maybe this caller just won a 7.5 inch sub. That's right. Maybe you should call Len because he doesn't know what he's talking about. He's a pain. (41:29) First correct caller wins a 7 inch sub from Lenny's and gets tossed into that drawing for a $250 picnic from Lenny's for the 4th of July. Give us a holler. It's the B Team Morning Show with Bryan Adams on 100.3-KROCK. In and out of love on a Friday morning. It's 100.3-KROCK, the Classic Rock Station. (41:49) Beautiful sunshine here in Fort Walton. And we've got a winner for that free food from Lenny's Grill and Subs. This is true. That's right. The question this morning was, who had the largest, most prominent signature on the Declaration of Independence? (42:10) Very good. You remembered. I'm always impressed. And the answer was John Hancock. Yeah, very good. And the guy that got the right answer was also named John. That's right. But it's John Goddard from Crestview. John Goddard from Crestview was the first person to call in with the right answer and got himself a 7.5-inch Lenny's sub and an opportunity to win a little picnic for 20 people. (42:34) That's right. Coming up on the 4th of July. And that $250 valued picnic for America's 250th birthday includes sandwiches, chips, drinks, cookies. So it's a great little deal. (42:50) And we've got more trivia questions for you to win a sub next week. And of course, get yourself qualified for the drawing for that $250 picnic as well. So don't miss out, folks. It's an awesome opportunity. It's a great little promotion we've got going on with Lenny's. (43:06) And yeah, doing it again. One final week next week. Alright, well, are we out of time already? It's 8.50. It's getting there. The B Team Morning Show might have to wrap it up for today. (43:23) But we've got the Encore Hour coming up. So we're not really done. Don't really get to go anywhere. Yeah, but the show, as we call it, ends at 9. Then the Encore Hour, where we talk about local events, comes up here in just a little bit. (43:39) We want to thank the sponsors of our B Team Morning Show each and every day, including Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach, Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, and Okaloosa Gas. We hope you all enjoy your weekend. Stay hydrated. Lather on the sunscreen. (43:54) Slap on a ball cap. And get out there and enjoy it. We hope to see you tomorrow, maybe up in Floralo, for the 24th of June Masonic Celebration. It'll be a lot of fun. Also tonight, Cones & Cops. Cones & Cops, which is it? (44:10) Cones & Cops, I think. Well, I mean, it's kind of like the Beal & First Street Celebration, but a little different. Yeah. Bring the kids on out, though, for ice cream sundaes tonight from your Fort Walton Beach Police Department down at the Landing Center. There's been Cops & Cones for three days now, but this one's going to have ice cream cones. (44:28) That's funny. That is funny. All right. We're out of time. We hope you all enjoy your weekend. I'm Schuyler Black. Bobby Dewrell. Hey, folks, thanks for listening to the B Team Morning Show, your leading alternative quality programming right here on the Emerald Coast.

Your omni-broadcasting news is brought to you by McCaskill & Company, the Emerald Coast's finest jeweler. I'm Dan Diamond. (45:03) Okaloosa County Commissioners voted unanimously on June 16th to declare panhandling, vagrancy, and a range of related community issues a matter of urgent public importance and to create a task force charged with studying the problem and recommending action. (45:18) The agenda item brought by Deputy County Administrator Craig Coffey identified a list of concerns affecting residents countywide. According to the staff document, those include panhandling and vagrancy, traffic safety, people sleeping on the side of the road, littering, drug use, theft, breaking and entering, and other crimes. (45:37) The intersection of Bill Parkway and First Street is now a right-turn-only crossing after a crew from Acme Barricades began installing traffic separators Wednesday, completing a safety change originally scheduled to start last week before weather delays pushed the work back. (45:52) And that's your omni-broadcasting news, sponsored by McCaskill & Company. I'm Dan Diamond. And that's a wrap on today's B Team Redux.
