Bourdain Day & the Great Stripe Scandal: When Fort Walton PD Realizes Nobody Knows How Many Lines Are on the Flag

(00:01) Here's today's B Team Redux. There's the cult on the classic rock station. 100.3 KROCK. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to Friday Eve. Here we are on a Thursday morning. A high today of about 88 degrees this afternoon and a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms will be possible across our listening area with some isolated and scattered cells mid-afternoon building, as it always happens in the summer. Pretty typical. (00:32) All right. Well, today on the B Team Morning Show, we want to start out the show with a look at the national holiday calendar. And the first one we have to talk about is Bourdain Day. That's right. You got to celebrate by eating something questionable, judging the tourist, and pretending cynicism is a personality instead of a warning label. (00:50) Oh, OK. I hear you. Look, hey, Bourdain Day is the annual civic ritual where otherwise functional adults cosplay as fearless eaters, swear they're living fully, and then post a blurry bowl of noodles like it cured their childhood. (01:05) See, you're supposed to honor the patron saint of sharp opinions and stranger than fiction dinners by trying something new, talking to somebody you didn't agree with, and pretending you're not scared of a plastic stool or your own thoughts. Look, there's no official menu, just a loose set of commandments. (01:23) Listen if you can, listen if you're able, and don't romanticize misery like it's a seasoning blend. Look, it's absurd on purpose, which is the only kind of tradition that ever survives around here. Mm-hmm. Bourdain Day. How are you celebrating? Oh, well, I don't know. (01:39) Oh, OK. Well, we'll come up with a game plan in a little bit. Felt like I just gave you the way. Yeah, but you always have your own way of doing things. Your own way of doing things. Hey, coming up on Tuesday night, the 30th of June, the next Boomin' Tuesday out at Baytown Wharf in Sandestin. (01:57) DJ starts at 7 p.m., shops and restaurants have sidewalk sales and specials going on all evening, and a spectacular fireworks show lights up the night at 9.15. It's the final Boomin' Tuesday of June, coming up next Tuesday, June 30th, out at Baytown Wharf. (02:14) We've got more details on the Events tab at thebteamshow.com. Skinner and Forner after Jimi Hendrix now on 100.3 KROCK. Good to be on the classic rock station, 100.3 KROCK. Good morning, everybody. (02:29) Thursday is here. That means it's Friday eve, the weekend, just on the horizon and around the corner. We'll check your full forecast on what to expect as we head into the weekend here in just a bit. By the way, during the 8 o'clock hour today, don't forget Bobby's nearly impossible trivia question. (02:47) For a chance to win food from Lenny's. That's right. And I like a good sandwich from Lenny's. So we'll do that during the 8 o'clock hour. If you are the winner of today's sub, you'll also get thrown into a drawing and become qualified for a chance to win a picnic for up to 20 people from Lenny's for the 4th of July. (03:07) So we're going to take care of your Independence Day hunger if you win that drawing. So don't miss out on the trivia question this morning during the 8 o'clock hour. But right now we need to get back to looking at the National Day calendar. (03:22) And today, Bobby, you're talking about it being the Day of the Seafarer. That's right. It's a salute to the folks who call it travel while living in a floating motel that never stops rocking. Doesn't that sound fun? Yeah. Yeah. Look, the Day of the Seafarer is the annual moment when the world pretends it just discovered oceans and remembers the people who keep your cheap sneakers, coffee, and questionable online purchases moving across them. (03:45) You know, look, it's a nod to the crews doing long haul time on floating steel rectangles. You know, working weird hours under big weather, bigger logistics, and the kind of corporate appreciation that fits nicely on a poster. You know, the holiday is absurd on purpose. (04:00) We celebrate the folks we never see because if we had to watch the sausage get shipped, half of us would start growing tomatoes out of spite. So, yeah. Yeah, raise a glass, say a thanks, and keep in mind the sea doesn't care about your calendar. (04:15) Only your cargo does. Day of the Seafarer. That's what we're celebrating today on Thursday, June 25th. A quick break and a look at your marine forecast. Those of you heading out on the water today, if you are a seafarer, well, we got your forecast. (04:30) Coming up next on 100.3 KROCK. There's more here than meets the ear. 100.3 KROCK. Brown sugar on the classic rock station, 100.3 KROCK. It's the B Team morning show. Don't forget, coming up next week, there are a ton of Area 4th of July fireworks displays, and some even before the 4th. (04:52) On Tuesday, the 30th, Boomin' Tuesday, out at San Destin, you've got fireworks on the island at the pier, midweek by the boardwalk. Destin Commons doing their food truck festival and fireworks on Friday, July 3rd. And then, of course, a number of area fireworks displays on Saturday, the 4th of July, all across South Okaloosa County. (05:14) And we've got the full listing for you of all the area fireworks events that are coming up on the events tab by going to thebteamshow.com. Well, we just played the stones and brown sugar. I don't know if there's any brown sugar in these little delectable treats, but there's plenty of sugar. (05:32) It's National Bomb Pop Day. Yeah, speaking of fireworks, you know, that's the one holiday where we celebrate childhood patriotism by licking a rocket and pretending sugar counts as history. Oh, my God. That's rough. National Bomb Pop Day is that little red, white, and blue speed bump in the calendar where we all agree the peak of patriotism is a sticky, rocket-shaped sugar tube melting down to your wrist. (05:56) You know, look, it's not a holiday so much as a group project in nostalgia designed to make grown adults chase an ice cream truck like it's offering youth freedom and a payment plan. You eat one, you feel eight years old for ten seconds, then you remember your knees hurt and your dentist drives a boat. (06:13) That's the magic. For one day, we salute the flag by staining our shirts and pretending that counts as tradition. It should. It should. It's National Bomb Pop Day. I could go for one of those right now. I love bomb pops. Yeah. (06:28) All right, stick tight. Coming up, music from Van Halen, Tom Petty and Hart with a look at local news from Dan Diamond about ten minutes till seven as well. Right now, Rat round and round on 100.3 KROCK. Hart and Magic Man on the classic rock station, 100.3 KROCK and online at KROQFWB.com. (06:49) It's the BT Morning Show brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre as well as Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. I'm Schuyler Black. He is Bobby Dewrell. We're so happy to have you along for the ride with us this Thursday morning. (07:04) Sunshine, a high of 88 today but a 50% chance of some scattered, isolated thunderstorms and thundershowers are possible this afternoon. More on that in just a bit plus Dan Diamond's local news just around the corner. (07:19) But you know what? Back in the day when all this music we play on KROCK was new, so was the idea of Color TV. It's Color TV Day. Oh, that's right. (07:34) Celebrating the invention that made commercials louder, sports uglier, and living rooms look like a bad decision in HD. Yeah. Did you have a Color TV in your bedroom? Yes, I did. Color TV Day is that annual reminder of when humanity finally crawled out of the black and white swamp and decided life should come with more expensive distractions. (07:55) You know, we pretend it's about celebrating innovation but it's really about honoring the moment we started arguing over which setting is a true color while everyone's faces look like lightly seasoned salmon. So go ahead. Crank up the saturation. Watch something you've already seen 15 times and act like it's culture because the explosions are now in a shade called electric regret. (08:19) Don't worry. We'll get to the part where this says something grim about your attention span later. And if you ever go on a road trip and stop at one of those old drive-in motels and they've got a now-offering Color TV sign, maybe find another one. (08:37) I would say it's a little bit rundown. Could be. Uh-huh. Just a hunch. All right. Dan Diamond's Local News coming up plus lots of stories and events to get to next hour and Ask Uncle Bobby all coming up next hour as well. It's right here on the B Team Morning Show with 100.3 KROCK. (08:55) Stand by for more ROK. 100.3 KROCK. You know, Bobby, I always thought that SNL should have done a skit with that song as well and, you know, got a fever for more bagpipe. More bagpipe, yeah. (09:11) ACDC this morning. It's a long way to the top, but we're at the top of 7 o'clock. Good morning, everybody. How you doing? Kind of a soggy start to your Thursday. Last night, I don't know, that storm about 7 o'clock kind of came out of nowhere, and we got a good drenching for 20 or 30 minutes, but we're going to see on and off showers today. (09:33) Right now, a big blob off in the Gulf about 40 miles, but right now it's trending due south, so may see a few more pop-up showers and thunderstorms this afternoon after we get some of the heat of the day, but a high of 89 in the forecast for today. (09:53) I will tell you, after the rain last night, though, my yard was quite happy. I cut the grass last night. Nice and bright and green this morning. It's amazing what happens when a lawn gets some water. We've got plenty to get to this morning. By the way, I gave Chief Beige a call yesterday and I said, Hey, I think your guy kind of forgot about coming to see us. (10:18) So, supposedly, we have a rescheduled interview this morning at 8 o'clock with the Fort Walton Beach PD to talk about the Cops and Cones event tomorrow down at the Landing. Also, next hour, another nearly impossible trivia question from Bobby for a chance to win some free food from Lenny's Grill and Subs in Mariester. (10:40) So, yeah, we've got some exciting stuff happening this morning. Did you hear about those massive earthquakes in Venezuela last night? No. Two 7-plus magnitude earthquakes in a span of about 20 minutes apart. (10:58) Absolute devastation. I'll try to get more on that story. Also, a major earthquake struck Northern California yesterday morning. 5.6 magnitude earthquake in Mendocino County just after 8 a.m. Pacific time, followed by at least 15 aftershocks. (11:17) Thousands of homes temporarily lost power. Governor Gavin Newsom said state officials are monitoring the situation. The good news is that no tsunami warning was issued and there were no immediate reports of major damage or injuries, but still a quake that size, strong enough to crack walls, break windows, and knock over furniture. (11:37) So, fortunately, it wasn't any worse than it originally thought. But, yeah, those folks in Venezuela, wow, it looked awful. So, see if I can find more on that story. Eddie, money coming up. (11:53) Journey and the Doors in just a bit. It's the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell with Boston. Journey, don't stop believing. 100.3k rocked the Classic Rock Station. It's the B Team Morning Show, apparently between Destin and Panama City Beach, two area water parks, Big Kahuna's in Destin and Shipwreck Island out on Panama City Beach. (12:18) Today at noon today, the two water parks are going for the world's largest coordinated swimming lesson. Okay. Yeah, it starts today at noon at both locations. Each participant will receive a free return ticket to the park as a thank you for joining the lesson. (12:37) All guests on site today are welcome to participate, and parks will register attendees on site. Apparently, the world's largest swimming lesson is an annual global event coordinated by the World Water Park Association as it brings aquatic facilities worldwide together to teach children and families essential water safety skills on the same day at the same time. (12:59) Never heard of such a thing, but that is happening just across the island over in Destin today. There you go. Yeah. And the more you know. That's right. The things that people do to break world records. No lie. (13:15) Well, we talked in the last break about the earthquake in California yesterday, and then the evening earthquakes last night in Venezuela. President Donald Trump acted immediately after those two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela, caused what he described as a devastating number of deaths, warning that early reports from the disaster zone were grim. (13:39) The quakes, which occurred seconds apart and caused widespread damage in and around Caracas, prompted the U.S. government to prepare a rapid humanitarian response. Trump said he had directed federal agencies to be ready to move quickly and pledged that the United States stood ready, willing, and able to assist Venezuela as rescue crews continued assessing casualties and damage. (14:01) So when the U.S. is stepping up to help thousands of miles away with a natural disaster, it's not looking great. Not looking great. So that's all we've got on that situation right now. (14:17) How are you doing on this Thursday morning? I made it this far. Are you happy that tomorrow's Friday? Yes. This week's been challenging. This is one I'd like to look at and put in the history books. This week felt like it belonged in 2025. (14:34) You look like you need a bomb pop day. Yeah. A bomb pop today, because it is bomb pop day. That's true. 2025, yeah, I'm glad that year's done, but when the hell does 2026 get good? Well, right now what it's got going for it is it's not 2025. (14:50) It's got six months now to get better. Yep. There was hope at the beginning of this year. Is there still? Still a glimmer. Just a bit. Just a ray of hope. But yeah, Tuesday, that's the halfway point of the year. (15:05) Holy smokes. You're tipping point. Flying by. So it's time to get good, 2026. It's time. Yeah, time to get off the bench. Uh-huh. America 250 coming up next Saturday. Lots of area events and fireworks displays all across South Okaloosa County. (15:25) First of all, Friday night out at the Commons in Destin, they are doing their fourth annual Star Spangled Food Truck Festival. They've got 25 food trucks from across the area. Plus they're going to have live music from bands 1211 and Below Alabama all evening long. (15:41) And then around 9 o'clock on Friday night, next Friday, they're going to have what they're calling the most spectacular grandest fireworks display on the Emerald Coast for the summer. Then, of course, you've got fireworks displays in an assortment of area towns, Valpi, Niceville, Fort Walton, Destin, all on Saturday evening. (16:06) We've got a full listing of fireworks and all the happenings on our events tab at thebteamshow.com for our friends like Larry, Gary, and Barry to go visit. That's right. We haven't given them a shout-out for a while. No, we haven't. It was time. (16:21) 727 is the time, and we're about 20 minutes away from asking Uncle Bobby for advice this morning. So stay with us. It's 100.3 KROCK. We are about 10 minutes away from your advice this morning from Uncle Bobby. We'll get to that in just a bit on the B Team Morning Show. (16:37) With 100.3 KROCK, I'm Schuyler Black. He's Bobby Dewrell. And, of course, the B Team Morning Show each and every day is sponsored by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. And we've got our friends from Stripes coming in to join us on the show next Friday with an author to talk about Walk, Run, Fly Again. (17:04) That's right. It's going to be a great event. A book signing out at Stripes on Saturday, July 4th from 1.30 until 4 in the afternoon. And, of course, we're going to have the author on the air with us at around 8 o'clock on Friday, July 3rd to preview the event the following day at Stripes and to talk about the book itself and his story. (17:30) So, yeah. One of the very first combat fighter pilots to actually lose a leg and return to combat with a prosthetic. So, a really cool story. And looking forward to chatting with author John Alvarez on his book Walk, Run, Fly Again next Friday right here on the B Team Morning Show. (17:53) And, again, that book signing is Saturday, July 4th out at Stripes from 1.30 until 4 in the afternoon. Well, yesterday there was a ribbon-cutting for Grow With Us Learning Academy at the new facility at Freedom Tech Center here in Fort Walton Beach. (18:10) Oh, yeah. Yeah, they expanded capacity for local daycare centers by up to 300 children. So, 300 kids will be attending this new Grow With Us Learning Academy daycare. Now, they're also going to be opening another one out at Hammock Bay in Freeport here in the next month. (18:30) And we'll be breaking ground on a third location out in Santa Rosa Beach here later on in the year. So, the company is growing like a weed right now. And now they've got, I believe, eight different daycare facilities across the Panhandle from Pensacola, Pace, Gulf Breeze, and several right here in Okaloosa County. (18:53) So, I wanted to pass that along. That happened yesterday. What do you have on your radar this morning? Nothing. Okay. You're surviving. I'm just here. (19:08) Okay. Hanging out like a hare in a biscuit. Ew. Is there at least gravy on it? No, because then I'd be lost in the sauce. Oh. Fair point. I could go for one of those biscuits and gravy in a cup from Dodgers. (19:24) Absolutely. That's on your diabetes diet? Maybe not. Not really, but you know what? I'll go there. Good times. Bad times. Zeppelin on the Classic Rock Station. (19:39) 100.3 KROCK. It's the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell at 749. We're at 75 degrees right now, waking up with some wet pavement, had some showers moved through earlier this morning. We'll see a high today of 89 degrees this afternoon. But it's the time of the morning where the music plays and the wisdom is spread. That's right. It's Ask Uncle Bobby, your daily advice, all stitched together byTomCat Custom Apparel. That's right. Reminding you, 4th of July is next week, and if your family reunion doesn't have matching shirts, well, congratulations, you've organized a missing persons event. Call byTomCat Custom Apparel and make it better. Today. All right. Uncle Bobby, your question today comes in from Captain Clout Mirage. Dear Uncle Bobby, I want to be an influencer, but I don't have any special skills or meaningful content. How could I build a following and look successful without doing much? (20:58) So, you know, you're not asking to be an influencer. Okay. You're asking to be a branch-shaped fog with cheekbones and a ring light. And good. Good. Because substance is heavy and heavy things sink. So first, you got to stop posting like a person and start posting like a press release that learned how to smirk. Okay. Everything you do now is a moment. Every errand is a activation. So you're not getting coffee. You're curating a lifestyle beverage experience for your community of strangers who would not lend you a phone charger. Okay. Next, you got to manufacture credibility the way fast food manufactures grill marks. All right. You got to use vague wins, uh, you know, uh, big things coming, uh, in talks grateful for the opportunities and never name the opportunity. See the mystery is the product and, and you're selling the implication. Now let's talk optics. Okay. Listen, you're going to need at least three props. All right. I, you need a laptop open to something unreadable, a notebook with one dramatic word written in it, and then a neutral toned drink. You'll never finish. (22:15) And then you got to take photos. Like you're being followed by a paparazzi who are also interior designers. Okay. Then I want you to create influence without the inconvenience of impact. All right. You got to start giving advice that cannot be falsified. All right. I want you to say things like, uh, protect your energy, uh, move in silence. Oh, Oh, one of my favorite alignment matters. See, if anyone asks what that means, you tell them that they're not ready in and what you link them to your upcoming guide. Now, finally, you got to sprinkle in some performative purpose, you know, like garnish on a plate and nothing. Okay. Post one serious black and white selfie every month with a caption about growth, healing, or, uh, I don't know, resilience and then vanish for 48 hours afterwards to stimulate depth. See now congratulations. (23:15) You've just turned emptiness into a luxury item. You know, it's like selling air and a nice bottle. Yeah. You just need to create your own echo chamber. Captain clout Mirage. There you go. (23:30) Good advice this morning from uncle Bobby to be all that in a bag of chips. All right. Uh, if you've got a question for uncle Bobby, you could always get to him at do bob.com. You can always read all the past episodes there and get your merch as well. Everybody needs merch. Absolutely. Of course, we do this every morning around seven 45 ish all stitched together byTomCat custom apparel. That's right. By Tomcat custom apparel, where the apparel is made custom for you. Yes, it is. Billy Squire. Everybody wants you on the classic rock station. (24:05) 100.3 KROCK. Good morning, everybody. Uh, it's yeah, it's Thursday. It's Thursday. Good morning, everybody. Uh, it's yeah, it's Thursday, Friday eve as we like to call it. True. And, uh, woke up with, uh, with some rain across the area this morning that has pushed South and out into the Gulf, uh, dealing with some clouds and overcast skies this morning, but, uh, we'll see some showers later on today. (24:32) Possible, but, uh, sunshine should come back after lunch and a high of 89. So that is, uh, what we're expecting on the weather front today, Bobby, it may sound like the plot of a Cheech and Chong movie, but researchers say that magic mushrooms could some, someday play a role in treating Alzheimer's. Well, there you go. Uh-huh. Yeah. And a new case study, a woman in her eighties with advanced Alzheimer's was given a medically supervised dose of, uh, silos seven within hours. She went from speaking only a few words to carrying on conversations. She also regained bladder control, walked on her own, got dressed without help and became more alerted, engaged. Now the improvements lasted for several weeks. Actually researchers stress. This was just one patient and the mushrooms didn't cure Alzheimer's, but the surprising results have scientists excited enough that larger studies are already underway to see if the psychedelic can safely help other dementia patients reconnect with the parts of the brain that the disease has shut down. So that is, uh, some wild stuff right there, but, um, yeah, magic mushrooms to fight Alzheimer's that's, that's interesting. That's a new way to do it. (25:54) Well, coming up later on this hour, Bobby's got a trivia question for you this morning. That's right. And we've had, well, we did a bonus question yesterday. Yes, we did. Probably won't do that again. No, we probably won't do that again. (26:11) Cause that gal that called in was too, too Johnny on the spot, too, too Johnny on the spot. She was just too intelligent. Yeah. But, uh, today we'll give away a, a seven and a half inch sub. If somebody can answer Bobby's trivia question, correct. So just be listening for the chance to call in and when later on this hour, The B Team morning show brought to you by Stripes Pub and Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi in Miramar beach. I'm Schuyler Black. He's Bobby Dewrell. Here's Joan Jett. I'm 100.3 KROCK 100.3 KROCK. The classic rock station. There you go. The cars, you might think I'm crazy on a Thursday morning, uh, overcast skies outside. (27:00) And I see our, uh, friendly Fort Walton beach police officer is standing outside the front door. He's, uh, probably ready to come in and tell us all about cops and cones happening tomorrow at the landing. But, uh, speaking of work in traffic and, uh, dealing with, uh, traffic stops in Fort Walton beach and accidents that's prompted, uh, a new, a new traffic flow on, uh, Beale Parkway and first street downtown drivers in Fort Walton beach will no longer be able to make left turns or travel straight through the intersection of Beale Parkway and first street. The city has converted the crossing to right turn only, uh, in an effort to improve safety and traffic flow. (27:45) The change follows concerns about congestion and crashes at the busy intersection. And as part of a broader plan to reduce conflict points along the corridor, new traffic signs and roadway markings have been installed. Motorists are encouraged to use alternative routes when accessing nearby neighborhoods and businesses. Yeah. I saw, saw all the ones go up there at, uh, at Beale. (28:08) That's right. Yeah. They, they put up the, uh, well, you can't cross the road now. No, you can't. Well, you can, the old shortcut that we used to take from the, from the hut over into that area is, is gone no more. Yeah. I noticed that last night too. Yep. I was like, well, that stinks. (28:23) But if you want to take the shortcut, Bobby, uh, officer Swenson with, uh, Fort Walton beach PD can, you know, you could have a conversation with him afterward. I have a jeep. That's not going to slow me down. He can just go over it like a monster truck, right? Oh, they're just those little plastic ones. I mean, you can knock them over. You can knock them over. Oh, five bucks says that like 20 of them are down by Sunday. Probably even now. Well, officer, pull up a seat there and have a chat with us. Uh, we, we, we hear about, uh, this little ice cream social that, uh, that you all are putting together tomorrow, right? Yes, sir. That's fine. Cops and cones, cops and cones. Correct. All right. So this is happening downtown at the landing. (29:05) Yes, sir. Yep. Downtown landing. We, uh, have free cop or free ice cream for anybody. Free cops. Yeah. Free, free ice cream for anybody 12 and under. Uh, so we all know how discriminatory. Well, Hey, can't afford everybody. Uh, but with free ice cream, you know, bring your kids out. (29:26) We love meeting with the kids and, uh, and building that community with them and, you know, having, uh, the adults out there, build a community with them and hear your concerns and what you y'all are concerned about, what we can help with, which is building the community between us and the, and the citizens here. Yeah. Yeah. So free ice cream for anybody under 200 pounds. (29:43) Well, that still doesn't qualify me. I guess I'm out. Yeah. So officers wanted to know how long you've been with, uh, Fort Walton PD. I've been with Fort Walton for about six years. I've been in law enforcement for about 13 years. Okay. So quite a while. Uh, this is something kind of new for me doing. (29:59) What we call our CRA, or basically our Community Resource People. I've done several other things, been on Night Shift Patrol, Day Shift Patrol, pretty much everything you can imagine. But now I'm in this, and I'm actually really excited to have these good conversations with our community, build those relationships, and be able to kind of see what the concerns are from y'all, from everyone in the community, without just showing up and leaving after something bad has happened. My concern is not getting free ice cream tomorrow, but now I feel better about it. (30:31) If you just walk around on your knees or something, shave your beard, you might be able to pass. Yeah, it's a little gray for being under 12, isn't it? It's a glandular problem. Just for men, diet for men. (30:47) Well, Officer, tomorrow afternoon is when it starts, right? Yeah, 6.30 PM, we have a live DJ coming out, so we're going to have a little bit of fun for everybody. A couple activities for everyone to do. Like I said, just getting out there, building community, and having that good community interaction. (31:07) So everyone can have a good time and just have fun. We noticed, because we're live DJs, that Chief Beige didn't call us to come do it. He never does. Kind of hurt my feelings a little bit. I'm sorry for that, I didn't have that interaction, so I apologize. Wait, just throw your boss under the bus. (31:23) No, Chief Beige is great. Well, I'm glad you found us this morning. Yeah, the internet doesn't apparently have your address online, so that's good. Somebody should fix that. Yeah, it'll be alright. But we got here, everything's good. (31:39) I'm glad you guys could squeeze me in and have this time. I'm glad you could make it. From your perspective, the job you're doing now is kind of like what Officer Bags was doing before, right? That's correct. Yeah, I worked for Officer Bags' spot. He got a few weeks to train me, kind of get me up to speed on what's going on. (31:55) Got big shoes to fill. Officer Bags is awesome. Oh, I don't think so. He's put me in cuffs before. So are you the new guy cuffing everything? That's going to be cool. So traditionally, we always help out with the Grinch Glow Ride. (32:11) I'm the Grinch that gets arrested, and he's the MC for the event. I'm looking forward to that. I've heard a lot about it. I haven't been able to attend yet, but it sounds like a great time. Don't be afraid to tase him. He does like to resist a little bit. (32:27) Please don't. No, it's not in the plans. Maybe some pepper spray, but not the taser. That'll work. Anything just to subdue him. I will tell you, it's a little hard to see with that Grinch mask on. I'm pretty fast, though, so that's good. (32:43) I've got to be honest, Schuyler, just a little point here. People talk, you hear things. It's not personal experience, but I would take the tasing over the pepper spray any friggin' day. I 100% agree with that. I mean, just people talk, you hear things. (32:59) It's not like I've had both. Asking for a friend here. Both are awful, but pepper spray by far is worse. Well, Officer Swenson, obviously we've got the Cops and Cones event tomorrow night at the Landing. (33:15) What other community events are on the horizon for you all? Obviously we have the 4th of July. We'll be out there at the Landing again. We have all kinds of stuff in the works. As of right now, completely planned, we have this and the 4th of July. (33:31) I don't want to give away any of the other good stuff going on right now. Not everything is completely settled just yet, but those two events for sure are on the way. Those are the two most upcoming ones. You've got to come back and see us, because now you know where we are. (33:47) You've got to come back and see us. Officer Baggs would come in periodically, once every month or a couple months. Tell us about what was going on from the community policing side of things. Certainly come in on a regular basis. Keep us up to date. For sure. Absolutely. I've got your number. We can get here. (34:03) I don't know if it's a good thing or not, but your colleague is standing right outside the window of the studio. She was a little late. You wanted to come in? I'm trying to ignore her. It feels a little ominous. She's staring. She must know you from somewhere. (34:19) I hope it's not one of those warrants. Can you get your cuffs out and slap them on him? Oh, why not? We were just talking about Officer Baggs. (34:35) Bobby and I always help out with the Grinch Glow Ride. He's the emcee. I'm not a big fan of Officer Baggs. He's the only Fort Walton cop that's put me in cuffs before. It's not because I've been arrested. It's because I was playing a part. (34:51) I can say Officer Baggs never put me in cuffs. You told him to put me in cuffs. I'm highly encouraging them to tase you. I look forward to putting you in cuffs as well. (35:07) Are we going to have different toppings or just ice cream? There's 8 different types of ice cream. It's from Sugar and Co. They've got a weird hot dog flavored ice cream. (35:23) I'm not sure about that. I've been there a couple times. It's great ice cream. The owners there are amazing. I look forward to being able to try it out. (35:39) Of course I'm going to have to pay. You do need to pay. Officer Williams, how are you doing this morning? How long have you been with Fort Walton PD? (35:55) One year over Santa Rosa. How do you like Fort Walton? I love the community. I love the people. It's very pleasing and happy. (36:11) Appreciate you both coming in this morning. Any other community type of events and outreach events you've got coming up, come on in. Give us a shout. We'd love to promote your events. (36:27) We appreciate you all having us on. We've got a trivia question to give away sandwich from Lenny's. I've got to come up with a hard question today. He's going to stump you in just a bit. (36:43) We'll be back in just a few on the B Team Morning Show with 100.3 KROCK. 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. Good morning everybody. How are you doing? It is Thursday, Friday Eve as we like to call it. (36:59) Morning Show is on the air. Scorpions tease me, please me. We're going to be teasing you with some free food from Lenny's. Well, we're not going to tease you if you actually get the answer right to Bobby's trivia question. But you've got to get it right. (37:15) We've had some doozies this week. Some toughies. Is it going to get any more challenging today or are we staying with the kindergarten questions? This one's going to be rough. If you know the answer, you've got to be the first caller into 850-89-KROCK. (37:31) To quote Alice Cable. Yes, that's right. That's 850-895-7625. And the question you have to answer, how many stripes are on the American flag? (37:47) There you go. How many stripes are on the American flag? If you're the first caller with the right answer, 850-89-KROCK, that's 895-7625. Tell us how many stripes are on the American flag. (38:03) And you could get a 7.5 inch sub from Lenny's. It took a few seconds to get a call because they had to go out to the front porch and count. If you know how many stripes are on the American flag, give us a call, 850-895-7625. (38:19) We'll hook you up with a 7.5 inch sub from Lenny's and qualify you for a $250 catering from Lenny's for the 4th of July. Here's the Talkin' Heads on 100.3 KROCK. Talkin' Heads, take me to the river on the Classic Rock Station 100.3 KROCK. (38:39) How about take me to the winner? Yeah, that's right. Airman out on Eglin Air Force Base this morning, Michael Fiorentino, somebody in our armed forces knows how many stripes are on the American flag. (38:55) Oh, well, you know, that makes me feel a little better now. Michael, be honest, were you sitting there in the guard shack and counting? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. And Schuyler, what answer did he give? Was it the correct answer? (39:11) It's a baker's dozen. 13 stripes on the American flag. Okay, I got a little bit harder of one for you. Well, you don't want to save it for tomorrow? No, no, no. I'll ask you on this one. (39:27) What's the most amount of stripes that have been on the American flag? 13? Nope. Let's come back and circle back on that one. (39:43) I'm curious. Well, take your answer. You're not winning any food. Ah, maybe. 38 special on KROCK. (39:59) This trivia question three minutes ago literally got Tow Truck Paul out of bed. That's right. So, the question was... What is the most amount of stripes that have ever been on the American flag? And the answer? The answer is 15. (40:16) So now officially, it's never had more than 13 stripes, however in 1795, Congress increased the flag to 15 stars and 15 stripes after the admission of what two states to the Union? Do you know? (40:37) North Carolina? Nope. North Carolina is one of the original 13. South Carolina? Original 13. Gee. Kentucky? Well, there you go. Kentucky was 1792 when it was admitted, when it became a state. (40:53) And then something else around then. I will tell you another famous whiskey is from this state, but it's a rye whiskey. Tennessee? Nope. West Virginia? Nope. Hmm. It's a rye. (41:09) Mm-hmm. Gonna be Ohio. Nope. Okay. Tell me. Vermont. What? Yeah. Vermont. I thought they were all wine drinkers. Whistlepig rye is out of Vermont. (41:26) Oh, okay. That's where Whistlepig comes from. But yeah. 1795, when Vermont and Kentucky had joined the Union, Congress added two more stripes. So actually, funny enough, that's the flag that was flying over McHenry, Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore, where Francis Scott Key wrote Star-Spangled Banner. (41:50) So he was actually looking at 15 stars and 15 stripes. But later, they realized that adding a stripe for every new state could make the flag really kind of impractical. Think about a flag right now with 50 stripes on it. The stripes would be kind of thin, wouldn't they? (42:07) So that's where in 1818, we passed the Flag Act of 1818, which restored the flag to 13 stripes to honor the original 13 colonies, and that we would only add one star for each new state admitted to the Union. So there you go. (42:22) Interesting. Okay. Cool. Good stuff. We're out of time. We've got to go. B Team Morning Show. Wrap it up.
