Call of the Horizon Day: When Grown Adults Pretend the Skyline Is Personally Summoning Them Like a Debt Collector with a Poetry Degree
Description
We stared into the horizon like it owed us money, celebrated Fashion Day in flip-flops (or thongs—pick your scandal), and learned that explosive diarrhea is now a multi-state crisis with a name that sounds like a failed Harry Potter spell—because apparently, bagged salad is out here trying to ruin your summer harder than we ever could.

Show Notes
Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell kicked off another Thursday morning on 100.3 KROCK — Fort Walton Beach's classic rock station — with a high of 94 degrees and a heat index climbing to 106. Bobby's mood? Let's just say he was "peachy" in the same way a Nature Valley granola bar counts as breakfast after foraging through empty cupboards. The guys opened with Call of the Horizon Day, that annual moment when functional adults pretend the distant line where sky meets earth is personally summoning them like a debt collector with a poetry degree. Schuyler also honored Fashion Day (when grown adults pretend pants with holes cost more because the universe ran out of real problems) and National Sugar Cookie Day (beige circles of regret dusted in legal-grade sugar). Bobby's personal favorite? Don't Put All Your Eggs in One Omelet Day — because nothing says life advice like a holiday built around fear of a breakfast commitment.
Tomorrow morning, the B Team broadcasts live from First Friday Coffee (7–9 a.m.), courtesy of the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce. They'll be slinging handmade shirts — printed by Schuyler and Bobby themselves, with materials from Tomcat Custom Apparel — and possibly some Do-Bob stickers if Bobby remembers to grab them. You can tell which shirts Bobby made: they're a little off-center, like his moral compass. Meanwhile, Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach keep the show running smoother than Bobby's attempts at punctuality. Also on the calendar: Shark Week at the Gulfarium (air-conditioned fun for the kids), the Freedom Tech Center Farmer's Market (July 18th, 9 a.m.–noon), and next week's Pensacola Beach Air Show featuring the Blue Angels — shout-out to Jim McPherson for providing transportation, because saying it on-air makes it legally binding.
In local news, Okaloosa County's proposed fiscal 2027 budget clocks in at $769 million — an $82 million increase tied mostly to enterprise funds (airports, water, sewer) rather than new general spending. The countywide millage rate holds steady at 3.8308 mills, a level maintained for a decade. Pensacola police arrested two suspects in connection with the deadly July 4th shooting downtown that left one dead and six injured; authorities believe multiple shooters were involved and continue seeking additional suspects. And in a feel-good story out of Gulf Breeze, young pianist Sonny Picardi spends his summer Sundays performing at an assisted living facility — a tradition he started after losing his grandfather, a former traveling musician. It's the kind of wholesome content that makes you forget Bobby's still sniffling his way through the show like he's allergic to Schuyler's mere presence.
This morning's Ask Uncle Bobby (stitched together by Tomcat Custom Apparel) tackled office gossip: should you join in or keep it strictly professional? Uncle Bobby's take: gossip isn't a sin, it's currency. The water cooler is a trading floor, and you're standing there like a tourist clutching exact change while everyone else moves briefcases full of information. You don't have to be loud — just understand that every workplace has two org charts: the one HR prints and the one people whisper. The whisper chart is the real one. Promotions happen because somebody felt something about you during a conversation that had nothing to do with your job. Collect intel like a librarian at a crime scene, then use it like a scalpel — not a chainsaw. Meanwhile, President Trump launched strikes on nearly 100 Iranian targets after Iran attacked commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, and Michigan's dealing with its biggest-ever outbreak of Cyclospora (a parasite causing weeks of explosive diarrhea spread through contaminated produce). Doctors recommend buying whole heads of lettuce, peeling the outer leaves, and cooking your vegetables when possible — because nothing says "summer in the Emerald Coast" like a parasitic diarrhea update at 8:30 a.m. Stay classy, Fort Walton Beach. We'll see you tomorrow at First Friday Coffee.
Transcript
(00:01) Here's today's B Team Redux. Def Leppard, let's get rocked. Is it Friday, Bobby? No. (00:16) Oh, it's Friday Eve. That's correct. Okay, good morning, everybody. How are you doing? We are the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell. It's Thursday, a high today of 94 degrees. Another hot one. Heat index values climbing up to 106 this afternoon. (00:33) If you're going to be outside, drink as much water as you can. Until the point when you have to... Tinkle. Tinkle, that's right. When it's time to go, well, you know you're in good shape. And then drink some more. Drink until you got to tink. (00:48) Drink until you tink. There you go. It's the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas at Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. We're going to be live on location tomorrow from First Friday Coffee, and we'll talk about that in just a little bit. (01:04) But the very first thing we need to open up the show with, because, well, the sun's starting to peak up. It's Call of the Horizon Day. Yep, Call of the Horizon Day. So, any time you want to go, Bobby. (01:22) I was just staring off into the distance, pretending that my problems were getting smaller instead of catching up. Felt like I was celebrating a holiday that way. Oh, you should have given me a heads up then. Hey, man, I'm just trying to celebrate here. (01:38) That's all I'm trying to do. Celebrate all you want. That's right. Just off the air. Call of the Horizon Day is that annual moment when otherwise functional adults pretend the distant line where the sky meets the earth personally summoning them like a debt collector with a poetry degree. (01:53) You know, you honor the call by staring off into the middle distance, making reckless little vows you won't keep, and treating new beginnings like they are a subscription you can cancel after the free trial. You know, there's usually a symbolic walk, a ceremonial list of things you're leaving behind, and at least one person who swears they heard the horizon whisper their name, which is either spiritual awakening or tinnitus with ambition. (02:21) But anyway, look, it's not about arriving anywhere. It's about acting like you're about to so everybody can nod solemnly and ignore the fact that you still don't know where your spare keys are. Call of the Horizon Day. (02:36) I guess you were celebrating that, Bobby. I was. I'll give you two thumbs up. Thank you. Zeppelin, hey, hey, what can I do? Well, you can keep it locked right here with the B Team on 100.3 KROCK. Jefferson Starship, find your way back on 100.3 KROCK. (02:57) Today is Fashion Day on the National Day calendar. What does that mean? Well, clearly you didn't get them in your memo. No. Yeah. I didn't. I would have dressed appropriately. Sure. (03:12) Yeah. Yeah. I would have. Let me sum it up for you. This is when grown adults pretend that pants with holes cost more because the universe ran out of real problems. Why do people buy those? I don't get it. (03:28) Fashion Day is that annual reminder that humans will do anything for attention except mind their own business. See, you put on whatever statement piece you've been hoarding like it's evidence in a trial, and then you strut around pretending you're not desperate for someone to ask, so what's that? (03:48) It's not about looking good. It's about commitment, commitment to chaos, confidence, and the sacred belief that if you wear it loud enough, it becomes art. And today, I'm your reluctant tour guide through the glittery wreckage. (04:04) Okay. It's Fashion Day. What's wrong with my flip flops? If you have to ask, if you're a grown adult using the word flip flop together, that should say enough for you. (04:20) All right. Let me try this again. Hey, what do you think of the thongs I'm wearing? It's even worse. Hey, folks, don't forget all week long is Shark Week out at the Gulfarium, so if you're looking for someplace air-conditioned and fun to take the kids this week, think about Shark Week at the Gulfarium. (04:38) We've got the link to buy your tickets on the events tab at thebteamshow.com. Hey, in honor of Fashion Day, let me ask you this. Do you know when it's fashionably appropriate for a man to wear a visor? I don't know. I feel like we should ask Steve Dudley. (04:53) Never. He's a man. Well, you better tell that to Steve. I will. Okay. It is never appropriate for a man to wear a visor. He's a man. You can't mess up his hair, though. A look at your marine forecast is coming up next on 100.3 KROCK. (05:12) There's more here than meets the ear. 100.3 KROCK. Van Halen and Jump on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. It's the B Team Morning Show, and we could hardly keep ourselves contained in our seats this morning. (05:27) We're so excited. Jumping for joy to be on location tomorrow morning from First Friday Coffee. Yeah, it'll be fun. It'll be fun to see everybody again. And we got a whole bunch of shirts, man. We made new shirts. We did. Yeah, we didn't have shirts last time. We got shirts this time. (05:42) Maybe even have some Do-Bob stickers if I remember to grab them. Now, understand, we appreciate the contribution of the shirts and the materials from our friends at Buy Tomcat Custom Apparel, but understand that the shirts were actually printed by Bobby and I. (05:58) Yeah, and you can tell the difference between the ones I made and the ones Schuyler made. Right. Mine fit right. No. Bobby's are a little off center. Yeah, let's go with that. I think you guys know all of us well enough to know who got it right. (06:15) Someday, folks, those shirts will be worth something. That's right. These are collector's items. Not today, but someday. Kind of like those misprinted bills. Sure. Let's go with that. Or those coins at the Mint that got the wrong stamp. (06:30) Yeah. Well, today on the National Day calendar, Bobby, we celebrate something you can't celebrate, National Sugar Cookie Day. Oh, yeah. I call them beige circles of regret dusted in legal-grade sugar. (06:45) Okay. If that makes you feel better. National Sugar Cookie Day is that annual moment when society pretends a flat beige disc of flower and regret deserves its own parade. You know, you bake them, you buy them, you decorate them with sprinkles like you're doing arts and crafts in a holding cell, and somehow that counts as tradition. (07:06) You know, the whole point is simple. Eat something sweet, feel briefly loved, and ignore the fact you're basically maintaining nostalgia with a side of powdered sugar. You know, don't fight it. Just show up with a glass of milk and the emotional stability of a lawn chair in a hurricane. (07:22) It's National Sugar Cookie Day. Somebody bring us breakfast. Please. Tom Petty coming up in just a bit. It's the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. You're Steppenwolf on that magic carpet ride. (07:37) You think Bobby will take the hint, folks? Tom Petty, don't come around here no more. I can do that. He says, don't tempt me. Don't tempt me. We did briefly mention that tomorrow we're going to be live on location from First Friday Coffee. (07:55) That'll be from 7 till 9. We'll be out there on location tomorrow morning. Also, coming up next Saturday, July 18th, Bobby, is the next Freedom Tech Center Farmer's Market. They're doing this a couple times a month, but the next one comes up from 9 till noon, Saturday, July 18th, at Freedom Tech Center out on Lewis Turner Boulevard in Fort Walton Beach. (08:20) You can enjoy a fun-filled morning featuring live music, local vendors, delicious food, and a welcoming community atmosphere on that brand-new, beautiful two-acre park at Freedom Tech Center. So don't miss out. We've got more details on the Events tab at thebteamshow.com. (08:37) Minutes away from 7 o'clock, and this morning we have one last national holiday we would like to talk to you about. Don't put all your eggs in one omelet day. Oh, wow. You know, nothing says life advice like a holiday built around fear of a breakfast commitment. (08:52) I know, but it sounds so good right now. National don't put all your eggs in one omelet day is the annual reminder that life loves a single point of failure, and your breakfast shouldn't be one of them. You know, the holiday pretends it's about cooking, but it's really about not betting your rent money, your dignity, and your last two brain cells on one big, fragile plan you swear is foolproof. (09:14) So today, we diversify. Split the eggs. Split the options. Maybe split from the idea that you had at 2 a.m. that felt like destiny and smelled like regret. Anyway, keep your omelets small and your exits plentiful, because the only thing worse than a broken egg is acting surprised when it breaks. (09:35) There you go. Don't put all your eggs in one omelet day. I've heard basket, but not omelet before. That's interesting. Yeah. All right. Quick break, and 7 o'clock hour is upcoming. Of course, Ask Uncle Bobby due up in just a bit in the 7 o'clock hour as well. (09:54) Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell, it's the B Team Morning Show, brought to you by Stripes, Pub & Grill, and Navarre. Gas at OutKast Sushi at Miramar Beach on 100.3 KROCK. Standby for more rock. 100.3 KROCK. It's Thursday morning since you've been gone from Rainbow on a beautiful morning here in South Okaloosa County. 79 degrees right now. A high today of 93 since you've been gone. (10:20) I went ahead and got the 7 o'clock hour started because Bobby doesn't own a watch. How are you doing today? Peachy. That was short and sweet. There you go. Tell me something good. (10:37) Something good. That's happened to you. I woke up this morning, I guess. Well, congratulations. Thank you. Congratulations. All right. Based on the way I live, I don't think it's going to be sunshine and rainbows where I'm going. Really? Yeah, I think this might be as good as it gets. (10:57) What are the Cheerios soured with spoiled milk this morning or something? No, I didn't have any Cheerios to have this morning. Oh. Maybe a little hangry, might be. Okay. That's why I was going out trying to find a little breakfast biscuit or something like that. (11:14) How'd that turn out? Let's see what I came back with. Nature's Valley granola bar. Hey, there you go. You went out foraging and you came back with a taste of nature. That's right. With an almond butter biscuit. (11:32) V Team Morning Show is on the air. Thanks for waking up on the right side of the bed with us. V Team Show brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, as well as Okaloosa Gas at Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Tomorrow morning, Bobby and I will be live on location from First Friday Coffee. (11:51) I think tomorrow morning, we're going to make Bobby be in a better mood. Ha! Sure. He's going to have some of that delicious coffee at First Friday Coffee. There'll be eggs and bacon. He'll be perky. (12:08) Okaloosa County has proposed its new budget for the upcoming fiscal year. We'll get to that here in just a little bit. Also, preview some upcoming events this weekend and talk about next week. Blue Angels Week on Pensacola Beach. Oh, wow. That's right. That's already coming up. (12:26) We'll get to all that here in just a little while. On the way, I'll look at your forecast as we work our way closer towards the weekend. It's 723. Music from ZZ Top this morning. Which one are you, Bobby? The beer drinker or the hell raiser? (12:45) A little bit of both. Putting away the brewskis and raising a little cane. That's right. It's Thursday morning. The B Team Morning Show is on the air. Brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre. As well as Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. (13:05) Bobby, Okaloosa County's proposed fiscal 2027 budget totals $769 million. That's an $82 million increase over the current adopted budget. Administrator John Hofstad told commissioners Tuesday that during the first of two budget workshops. (13:26) But Hofstad stressed the bulk of that growth is tied to enterprise fund reserves and capital project planning rather than new general fund spending. He said a large portion of that is tied to your enterprise funds, whether that's airports or TDD or water and sewer. (13:42) Yes, that's growth, but that's inside restricted dollars that have to be used within that department for capital needs. Now, of the $82 million increase, only $3 million comes from growth and ad valorem property tax revenue. (13:57) According to the presentation, the largest year-over-year increases by fund include water and sewer up $34.2 million. Airports up $25 million. Capital projects up just over $9 million. General fund up just under $9 million. (14:13) Solid waste about $5 million. And debt service is up $3 million to $12 million annually. Now, other major components of the overall budget include tourism at 12 percent. Infrastructure surtax fund at 9 percent. And miscellaneous funds accounting for 6 percent. (14:34) The proposed budget holds the countywide millage rate at 3.8308 mills. That's a level the county has maintained for a decade. Hofstad noted that Okaloosa is one of roughly 5 of the 67 Florida counties with a millage rate below 4. (14:55) So, there is the update on Okaloosa County's proposed budget for 2027. Also, the more you know, U.S. former Olympic canoeist David Hearn has been indicted on a felony charge of property destruction after prosecutors accused him of damaging the newly renovated lining of the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool in D.C. (15:23) You mean it wasn't shoddy contracting like every Democrat tried to say? Right. Authorities allege that Hearn intentionally pulled up sections of the pool's sealant, causing more than $1,000 in damage. While Hearn denies the allegations, saying he only examined a loose piece of material and did not vandalize the site, his attorneys have called the prosecution politically motivated and the case comes amid ongoing scrutiny of the reflecting pool renovation project, which has faced issues including peeling sealant and algae growth. (15:55) Anyway, we'll find out what could happen to him today if he's convicted he faces maximum penalty of up to 10 years in prison. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said National Park Service employees witnessed Hearn forcefully and violently tear up about 2 square feet of liner with his bare hands. (16:16) When it comes to national parks and monuments, I think we need to hold those people to absolute as much as we can as far as accountability. (16:34) Maximum penalties, man. Yeah, we should. It's kind of like, what was it, two years ago, three years ago, when you had all those different statues and monuments in D.C. that were all vandalized and graffitied. And whatever happened to those people? (16:49) Yeah, exactly. Probably not a damn thing. All right, let's take a break. Coming up in about 20 minutes, we've got your Daily Advice with Ask Uncle Bobby. Plus, on the way, Rush, Brian Adams, Steve Miller, and The Who. (17:05) It's the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Durrell on 100.3 KROCK. Brian Adams and run to you. It's the B Team Morning Show. I'm Schuyler Black. He is Bobby Durrell. Thursday morning, Friday eve, as we like to say it. (17:21) B Team Show, as always, brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas at Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Beautiful sunshine here in Fort Walton this morning. 81 degrees right now. A high today of 93. (17:38) Well, Bobby, Pensacola police have arrested two individuals in connection with that deadly shooting last weekend on the 4th of July in downtown Pensacola. It left one person dead and six others injured. Investigators say the suspects played significant roles in the incident, with one facing charges of aggravated assault, firing a weapon during the altercation, and illegal firearm possession as a convicted felon, while the other has been charged with tampering with evidence and accessory after the fact. (18:13) Well, there you go. Authorities believe multiple firearms and shooters were involved and continue to seek additional suspects as the investigation remains active. But those two that were arrested, 26-year-old Nicholas Safford as well as 25-year-old Pensacola woman Lillian Myers. (18:36) Those two have been arrested and Pensacola police continue to look for additional suspects in that shooting. Well, next weekend, Bobby, is the annual Pensacola Beach Air Show. It all gets underway with the annual breakfast flight on Wednesday the 15th. (18:55) And it continues on Thursday, Friday, and of course the grand show on Saturday the 18th. It's one of the Gulf Coast premier summer events featuring spectacular aerial performances by the Blue Angels over the beautiful sands in Pensacola Beach area. (19:14) So, we've got the full list of all the activities going on on Pensacola Beach next weekend on our events tab if you just go to thebteamshow.com. And shout out to McPherson for providing us transportation. (19:29) That's right. Yeah. That's right. You've got to say it on air to make him committed to it. Exactly. Shout out to Jim McPherson, again, in case he didn't hear me the first time, for getting us over to Pensacola next weekend. So, looking forward to that. (19:45) Keeping our fingers crossed that the weather is cooperative. Some years it's beautiful. Some years, yeah, you're dealing with a two o'clock thunderstorm that just comes in like a bat out of hell. So, that's part of summertime in the northern Gulf, I guess. Alright, coming up in just about 7 minutes, your daily advice with Ask Uncle Bobby. (20:06) Plus, we'll take a look at local news here in the next 10 as well. Right now, Rush and Limelight. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell. The B Team Morning Show is on 100.3 KROCK. Riding the Magic Bus on 100.3 KROCK with magic mushrooms, I guess. (20:24) I don't know. Is that what makes the Magic Bus magic? Sure, something like that. The mushrooms. Do you like deep fried mushrooms? For an appetizer? No. God, I love them. There's nothing sweeter than that fresh fried fungus. Love it. (20:42) It's the B Team Morning Show. 7.48 is the time. And the music in the background tells us, well, it's time to get educated. That's right. Your daily advice from Uncle Bobby. Uncle Bobby. It's Ask Uncle Bobby, all stitched together byTomCat Custom Apparel. (21:00) Yep. TomCat Custom Apparel. Where the apparel is made custom for you. Too much going on this morning. Just keep going. So today, Uncle Bobby, you hear from TomCat. No. (21:16) Yeah. I'm just trying to see if you're paying attention now. Alright, today the question comes in from Stapled Name Tag. Dear Uncle Bobby, I get along with my coworkers, but I cannot tell if I should join in the water cooler gossip to fit in or keep everything strictly professional. So what should I do? (21:36) Keep it strictly professional? In an office? That's adorable. That's like bringing a salad to a knife fight and acting shocked when someone tries to season you. Look, here's the truth nobody puts on the onboarding slideshow. (21:53) The water cooler is not a social activity. No, it's a trading floor. See, gossip is not a sin. Gossip is currency. And you are standing there like a tourist clutching exact change while everybody else is moving briefcases full of information. (22:12) See, you don't have to be the man. You don't have to be loud. You just have to understand that every workplace has two org charts. The one HR prints and the one people whisper. See, the whisper chart, that's the real one. (22:28) Promotions do not happen because of performance. No, they happen because somebody felt something about you during a conversation that had nothing to do with your job. See, gossip is how you learn what the building is afraid of. (22:43) Who's protected? Who's circling the drain? Which manager is one bad spreadsheet away from spontaneously developing a passion for early retirement? And you sit there. You nod. You collect. You smile like a librarian at a crime scene. (23:01) Then, you use it like a scalpel. Not a chainsaw. No, no, no. You don't spread rumors. You spread precision uncertainty. You ask innocent questions that make powerful people sweat through their lanyards. You mentioned you heard a change might be coming and you let them panic themselves into revealing the real plan. (23:23) See, early lunch. Well, it's a secret agent summit. Trust no one. Share nothing valuable. Act friendly. Stay dangerous. Because the minute you decide you are above gossip is the minute you become the office's favorite topic. (23:45) Stapled name tag. I kind of like that name this morning. But there's your response and your advice from Uncle Bobby. We do Ask Uncle Bobby every morning right here on the B Team Morning Show around 745, stitched together byTomCat Custom Apparel. (24:02) byTomCat Custom Apparel, where the apparel is made custom for you. By Tom and Cat. That's right. Local news is next. ACDC. (24:17) Hell's bells on 100.3 KROCK. And speaking of ringing hell's bells, that's what President Trump said he's doing with Iran. Ceasefire is over after Iran attacked commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting U.S. military to launch strikes on nearly 100 targets inside Iran, including missile, drone, and port facilities. (24:39) Now, speaking at the NATO summit earlier this week, the president accused Iran of negotiating in bad faith, saying, I don't know if we're going to have a deal. We may just do it without a deal. These people, they lie and they cheat. Well, we've been watching that for, what, 50 years now? (24:56) The latest fighting also highlights growing uncertainty inside Iran. Since the death of former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei earlier this year, experts say it's no longer clear who is actually in charge or who has the authority to make and keep a deal with the U.S. (25:15) So, yeah, a president just absolutely out of patience with these idiots. And you just can't negotiate with terrorists. I mean, the fact of the matter is they simply only understand brute force. So I think the president is quickly losing patience with that situation. (25:36) Hey, a feel-good story. Channel 3 WEAR had a story out of Gulf Breeze where one young man spends his summer Sundays keeping a commitment. He gives piano performances that are striking a chord far beyond the keys. (25:51) His audience will tell you the gift he brings comes from an angel in our midst. But it's a young man, Sonny Picardi, who reached out to a nearby assisted living facility in Gulf Breeze and asked to come and play. (26:07) He said he's been playing the piano since third grade, playing recitals and concerts. However, when the COVID pandemic hit, as you can imagine, it brought those public recitals and concerts to a halt. And therefore, he started FaceTiming his grandfather and giving him concerts over the FaceTime calls. (26:24) And he said his grandfather really enjoyed them. He was a former traveling musician. And when he passed away, he wanted to help other people in a similar situation that he was in. So, of course, the assisted living facility was ecstatic and, you know, super happy that somebody wanted to come and volunteer their time to be there and do that. (26:43) So, kind of a feel-good story that a young man making a difference among the elderly population at an assisted living facility over in Gulf Breeze. And God bless you. And again. Oh, goodness. What's going on today? (26:58) I have no idea. Is Paul and Cal high today or something? It must be. It's got to be. Something's definitely triggered me. You've been sniffling all morning now. And he continues. I was fine until I walked in here. (27:14) It must be. I think he's allergic to me or something. It must be. I think so. It's a BT Morning Show on a Thursday. Now, don't forget, tomorrow morning, First Friday Coffee. Bobby and I live on location from the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce monthly First Friday Coffee event from 7 until 9. (27:33) We'll be here in studio from 6 to 7, and we're packing our bags and heading down to that. So, we've got all the details on First Friday Coffee on the events tab at thebteamshow.com. BT Morning Show, Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas at Outkast Sushi, and Miramar Beach on the Classic Rock Station, 100.3 KROCK. (27:58) Motley Crue on 100.3 KROCK, the Classic Rock Station. It's beautiful outside, 81 degrees right now, a high today of 93, just a 20% chance of a few isolated pop-up sales this afternoon. Full look at your forecast coming up here in just a little while. (28:15) Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell, the B Team Morning Show is on the air, brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas at Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Well, if you've been following our explosive diarrhea saga, here's your update. (28:33) Have you heard about this? No. Yeah, Michigan. State of Michigan is now dealing with its biggest outbreak ever. Nearly 1,000 cases of this parasite causing weeks of watery, sometimes explosive diarrhea. Oh, God. And it's spreading. Cases are now showing up in 28 other states, including a big new cluster just across the border in Ohio. (28:55) Cluster. Now, what to know. This bug is called Cyclospora, and it spreads through food or water contaminated with feces, most often produced that's come into contact with tainted irrigation water. Now, past outbreaks have been linked to bagged salad mixes, fresh basil, cilantro, raspberries, snow peas, and scallions, though officials still haven't pinned down the source this time around. (29:21) Now, it's not contagious person to person, so you can't catch it from somebody else, but only from contaminated food or water. The good news is no deaths so far. The bad news, nobody's figured out the source yet. So what to do. Doctors recommend buying whole heads of lettuce instead of pre-bagged salad mixes. (29:43) Peel off the outer two or three leaves, then rinse the rest thoroughly under running water. Cook your vegetables when you can, since washing alone doesn't always get rid of the parasite. And if the craps stick around longer than a few days, doctors say it's time to get checked out. (29:59) Typically treated with antibiotics, which nobody will fully take all the antibiotics and then we'll have a new super strain. Yes. Yeah. Yes. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. I want to look up and see which states have confirmed cases so far. (30:19) But what they call this, silospora, cyclospora, creptaculous. It sounds like a bunch of crap. Yeah, absolutely. We're going to take a break, pay a couple bills. Final half hour of the show coming up before we get into the encore hour at nine o'clock. It's the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. (30:37) All right, Bobby, is that Barrickville or Barackville? I'd say Barrickville. Okay. In Barrickville, West Virginia, a town of about 1,200 people just relieved its entire police department of duty days after the police chief himself resigned. (30:55) You said duty. I did say duty. Right after a crappy story. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Sorry. I'll continue on. The former chief says he stepped down after a town council member allegedly tried to take direct control over the department. (31:10) He claims he was told, I am in charge and what I say goes. Something he believed that violated state law. Now things got even messier after that. The department sergeant who briefly took over as officer in charge says he discovered the evidence room had possibly been broken into. (31:29) He also claims a council member admitted to taking a set of police keys. Shortly after raising those concerns, the entire remaining police force was let go. Residents have since started a petition demanding the former chief be reinstated. A planned town council meeting meant to address the chaos was abruptly canceled, only fueling more questions from the community. (31:52) For now, the county sheriff's office says it'll step in to keep responding to calls in town. But, uh, had a rogue council member there in West Virginia. It would sound like it. Yeah, definitely sounds like it. All right. We're getting out of here after Def Leppard now on the classic rock station, 100.3 KROCK. (32:12) It's The B Team morning show. Stay with us. Rockets.
