Cinco Bayou & the Chemist's Guilt Trip: How a Lab Coat, a Pirate Bank, and 500 Pounds of Crawfish Became Florida's Wildest Wednesday

Description

We spent the morning celebrating chemists who pollute with purpose, debating whether pirates belong at a bank's customer appreciation day, and unpacking the shocking revelation that failure happens way more than Instagram would have you believe—turns out success isn't actually the default setting.

Show Notes

Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell kicked off another Wednesday morning on 100.3 KROCK, broadcasting live from Fort Walton Beach on Florida's Emerald Coast — where the weather was cloudy, the hosts were cranky, and the pirates were apparently working at banks. After some confusion about bayous and Cinco de Mayo (Bobby's already planning his celebration two weeks out), the boys dove headfirst into the day's bizarre holiday lineup, starting with Chemists Celebrate the Earth Day — because nothing says environmental stewardship like the people who literally invented pollution slapping a green sticker on their lab coats and calling it activism. Then came April Showers Day, a celebration of pretending cold rain builds character instead of mildew, and National Jelly Bean Day, honoring those tiny sugar pills that taste like either nostalgia or a personal attack. The crown jewel? Administrative Professionals Day — the one day a year offices admit they run on passwords, staplers, and sheer spite, not leadership. Bobby's advice to Marine Max? Better put some flowers on that desk.

Local happenings got their due, starting with tomorrow's Mid-South Bank Customer Appreciation Day from 11 to 2 — the one day a year they appreciate their customers, Bobby reminds us, so you better show up. Free lunch from Lenny's, prizes, giveaways, and some friendly pirates from the crew of Bowlegs will be on hand (because nothing says financial security like costumed buccaneers). Saturday brings the 25th Anniversary Open House at Liza Jackson Preparatory School from 11 to 1:30, complete with food trucks, a DJ, and a strict 500-yard restriction policy for certain attendees (Bobby's words, not ours). And mark your calendars for May 9th: Marine Max is hosting their second annual Boats and Crawfish Boil with 500 pounds of fresh crawfish — free — from 11 to 3, followed by the America 250 Grand Parade in Crestview that evening. Stripes Pub & Grill, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi kept the lights on this morning, as always.

News-wise, things got weird. The DOJ dropped an 11-count fraud indictment on the Southern Poverty Law Center, alleging they secretly funded KKK members while publicly denouncing them — classic Southern corruption, Bobby notes. An Ohio arson suspect showed up for questioning with singed eyebrows, bandaged arms, and a story about siphoning gas while smoking a cigarette (only in Ohio, folks). Locally, ICE deported a 25-year-old woman who served four years for a fatal 2020 hit-and-run on Highway 98 — she'd been ordered deported back in 2018 but skipped the hearing. Florida Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned just as the House Ethics Committee was preparing to sanction her for 25 violations tied to $5 million in COVID relief funds allegedly funneled into her campaign. And in Destin, former council member Chatham Morgan was reappointed to fill the vacancy left by Torrey Guile's resignation, serving until November's election.

The morning's Ask Uncle Bobby segment tackled "Algorithm Sidekick Syndrome" — what to do when your best friend becomes Instagram famous and you're left feeling overshadowed. Bobby's advice? Attack the myth, not the person. Seed gentle doubts about whether their charisma might be AI-generated, then launch your own parallel career as the anti-influencer. Nothing spices up a feed like a cold war with better lighting. The segment was brought to you by byTomCat Custom Apparel, where matching shirts make your group look way more organized than it really is. And with that, the boys wrapped another chaotic morning of classic rock, sarcasm, and questionable life advice — because on 100.3 KROCK, we're your leading alternative to quality programming.

Transcript

(00:00) Here's today's B Team Redux. The Bayou. Who was that? Who was born on the Bayou? Well, I was. Yeah, you were. Right here. The Cinco. The Cinco. The next two weeks from now, Bobby will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo. (00:18) I know. At the Cinco Bayou. He said it just like Dudley. On the Bayou. We'll have some fun on the Bayou. It's going to be a gorgeous update Wednesday across northwest Florida today. (00:34) Sunshine, 79 degrees, 80 tomorrow. We'll take it. A look at your forecast is coming up in just a little bit. We are the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell brought to you by Stripes Pub and Grill in Navarre, as well as Okaloosa Gas and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. (00:52) And today on the National Day calendar, the very first thing that we need to all convene and and have a come to Jesus meeting about today is that it's chemists celebrate the Earth Day. Oh, yeah, because, you know, nothing says save the planet like a lab coat, a beaker and a confidence to name the pollution after yourself. (01:12) What's a beaker? You've got to be kidding me. It's too early to put up with your crap. Chemists celebrate the Earth Day is that yearly moment when lab folks step out from behind the well, the fume hood and slap a green sticker on their conscience and remind the rest of us that the planet is basically one big reaction vessel with a temper. (01:37) You know, it's part science fair, part public penance, you know, hands on demos, sustainable buzzwords and enough molecular models to make you question whether carbon has rights. It does. But everybody claps. Somebody mentions recycling like it's a religion. (01:53) And for one glorious day, the people who literally invent new substances try to convince you they're also here to save the ones we already have. So stick around. This is just the opening act before the solvents start talking. (02:08) Oh, my God. If that happens, we're done with this show. Celebrate chemists, celebrate the Earth Day. That's that's a mouthful. All right. It's the B Team Morning Show. We'll check your forecast in just a little bit. Right now, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. (02:25) One morning I woke up and I knew it all. Aerosmith in Walk This Way on 100.3 KROCK. Tomorrow we walk our way towards Mid-South Bank where you can drive, I guess. (02:43) Yeah. Tomorrow is Customer Appreciation Day at Mid-South Bank from 11 till 2. Free lunch from Lenny's, prizes and gifts from Mid-South and some friendly pirates from the crew of Bowlegs will be there as well in costume. (02:59) Yeah. And listen, if you're a customer, you want to show up that day because it's the one day they'll appreciate you. Yeah, well, I don't think that's what they meant, Bobby. And we got that from Lynn yesterday. But you can keep rolling with it. It says Customer Appreciation Day. Day. (03:16) Customer Appreciation Day. So join Mid-South Bank tomorrow for one of their many Customer Appreciation Days. Oh, just the one that came with a flyer. Okay. Right. Yeah. Right. Yes. (03:31) And if you want to dress like a pirate, you can do that too. Yeah. Everybody's doing it. It's the thing these days. Yeah, because nothing says appreciating your customers like pirates when you're a bank. Now, these are exactly. (03:50) Now, these are friendly pirates. They're not Somalians. Look at me. Look at me. I'm the captain now. I'm the captain now. Today on the National Day calendar, we delve into the next day. I should show up in cargo shorts and a wife beater, flip flops and an AK. (04:11) Oh, those pirates. This is not the same type of pirate I see on the Horn of Africa. Well, today on the National Day calendar, we celebrate something that's become a myth, April showers, because we haven't gotten many of them this month. (04:29) Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The holiday where the sky, the sky cries on your plans and we pretend it's cute because somebody said May's coming. Yeah. April showers bring May flowers. April showers day is the annual civic agreement where we all pretend cold rain is charming personality trait and not just the sky leaking on your plans. (04:51) You know, people celebrate by embracing the drizzle, meaning they, they wear optimistic jackets, drink something warm, act like getting damp builds character instead of mildew. Yeah. You know, it's a holiday built on the sacred belief that if you tolerate enough miserable weather, now the universe owes you flowers later, you know, like nature's running a punch card. (05:11) So grab your umbrella, lower your expectations and get ready to romanticize inconvenience like a professional. Romanticize. That's a big word, Bobby. Well, you know, it was big word day yesterday. It was. So we're still celebrating today. Well, I mean, this is when I wrote it yesterday. (05:27) So. Oh, okay. I guess that makes sense. It's April showers day. We're going to take a break, pay a couple bills, see if there's any April showers in the forecast coming up next on 100.3 KROCK music from ELO this morning. (05:45) And do you right here on the V team morning show with 100.3 KROCK? I don't do you? You don't wait. Yes. I ask. Do you? No, I don't. Not much anymore. And you answered that's right now. (06:02) I'm good. Hey, don't miss out on the 25th anniversary celebration and open house at Liza Jackson preparatory school this coming Saturday from 11 to one 30. It's free and open to the public. Stop on by entertainment games, live muse or a DJ onsite, plus a food trucks and all sorts of fun chance for a alum students, parents, current staff, and, uh, and friends of the past all come together and celebrate 25 years. (06:33) That's right. It's the time for everybody without a 500 yard restriction to show up. Bobby, Bobby, Bobby, Bobby. Yes. We don't want those people to show up. But is that wrong? Did we, did we need to say that? I just, I just wanted to make sure. (06:49) Fair enough. If you want more information, you can find the events tab at our website. The B team show.com, especially if you see a guy 500 yards from the school, handing out jelly beans, be careful. (07:05) Today is national jelly bean day. Oh yeah. Yeah. Cause nothing says adulting like paying rent and celebrating candy shaped like pills you probably should be taking. Those aren't pills. I like, I'm just saying when you, when you pretend that sugar shaped like rabbit, drop sink droppings at swim school, instead of a dental bill with a marketing budget, there you go. (07:26) You like the jelly beans. I got you. Oh yeah. Yeah. National jelly bean day is that yearly reminder that we as a society looked at a perfectly good handful of sugar and said, you know, what if it also tasted like toothpaste and regret? You know, it's a celebration of tiny, shiny capsules of chaos. (07:46) You know, half of them delightful. The other half engineered by someone who hates joy, but loves licorice. People pretend it's about nostalgia and springtime, but it's, it's really about testing friendships with a bowl of mystery flavors and calling it tradition. So grab a fistful, make your peace with the green ones. (08:04) And remember, holidays aren't sacred. They're just scheduled excuses with better marketing. It's national jelly bean day. And don't forget to buy your friends a can of bean boozled jelly beans and see if you can really screw with them today. (08:20) I've done it with Bobby. The reactions are priceless. Yeah. ZZ top coming up after thin Lizzy. This is the cowboy song on 100.3 KROCK boogie from ZZ top on 100.3 KROCK. (08:36) I wonder what they were talking about. I don't know. I don't, I don't have any idea. I wonder if it's, that was the same album that had pearl necklace too, isn't it? Yeah. I'm noticing a trend in legs. Yeah. Hmm. Hmm. It was kind of progressive too, as I recall. (08:52) Uh-huh. I think sleeping bag was on that album too. I wonder if they rode the Oscar Meyer Wiener mobile to the prom. Oh, that was the tube snake boogie. I wonder if they played that in the, uh, in the truck the other night when they went to prom. (09:07) All right. Today on the national day calendar, folks, there's just one to talk about left administrative professionals day. That's right. The one day a year where we admit the office does not run on leadership. It runs on someone who knows the password. (09:25) Fair enough. Yeah, that's right. Oh, administrative professionals day. Is that one shiny square on the calendar where the office pretends it just discovered the person who's been holding the whole operation together with a stapler, a password reset, and just Ross bite, you know, management shows up with grocery store flowers and a sheet cake that tastes like a printer paper. (09:49) Then acts like gratitude is a limited time offer that expires at 5 PM. Now the rest of us nod like this is normal because admitting the truth would require paperwork and. Nobody's brave enough for that. So it's not a joke exactly. It's a, it's a pressure valve and it's, it's about to start hissing. (10:08) Okay. It's administrative professionals day. So you better treat them good. Just a fair warning to everybody at Marine Max. Oh, you're talking about, you're talking about a little girl. No, I would never. I'd never, but somebody better put some damn flowers on her table. (10:28) That's right. That's right. Speaking of Marine Max, we've got an event coming up there in a couple of weeks. The, uh, second annual boats and crawfish boil event, 500 pounds of fresh, delicious crawfish. What are you, what are you laughing at? Every, every, every time you start out with boats and I, I, I start thinking about Stubb Brothers. (10:48) Oh, boats and hoes. Boats and crawfish. Boats and crawfish at Marine Max, Saturday, May 9th, from 11 till three, 500 pounds of fresh, delicious crawfish given away for free. (11:04) So don't miss out. Stomp out, check out some of the latest and greatest and, uh, in boats and more. And of course, get yourself a big old help at a crawfish. Plus that night we'll be up in Crestview for the America two 50 grand parade and celebration. (11:20) That'll be a tough one. Uh, we've got all the details on all these area events and so many more by visiting our website, The B Team show.com we're minutes away from seven o'clock. We've got to take a break and pay a couple of bills. Local news is on the way next on a 100.3 KROCK. You actually like this? (11:37) Yeah, dude. It's classic rock. Well, there's more where that came from. 100.3 KROCK. 100.3 KROCK is, is a, uh, cloudy overcast day. It is a, uh, cloudy overcast 67 degrees, uh, on this Wednesday morning, but it's warmer today than it was at this time yesterday, humidity's up just to tick a high of 77 this afternoon. (12:02) How are you doing Emerald coast? Uh, Schuyler black and Bobby Dewrell. The B team morning show is on the air and, uh, percolating this Wednesday morning. Bobby, uh, anything exciting in your life the last day or so? No, nothing. (12:20) You want to talk about nothing. I want to talk about other, other than I'm going to encourage for Walton PD to be down around a bill in 98. If they're going to open that new food court area over there, they need to get rid of some homeless tweakers. Yeah. Yeah. I tried to take one out of the world yesterday, but there were some that I got accosted by, uh, at the corner of Beal and Hollywood right there at that shell station last week. (12:44) It's the same block. Yeah. I mean, essentially within a couple of blocks there and, uh, yeah, but she didn't say very nice words to me. Well, yeah, this little, this little tweaker was, uh, it was a pill, but anyway, we got a high bumper capita rate in this town. (13:02) Yeah. Let me just say running up, yelling to me and telling me that I'm going to help you. Does not, does not work. That is, that is not how I was raised in my family. I may do a lot, but you're not gonna tell me what I'm doing. (13:17) You can tell me what I should do, what I need to do, what I can do by choice, but you're not going to tell me what I'm doing. You're not mandating Bobby Dewrell. Anything. Nope. Nope. Hey, tomorrow is a customer appreciation day over at mid South bank. (13:36) The one day, the one day they appreciate their customers is tomorrow. So if you're a customer there, you better show up, better show up that day. Just, you're not going to get another until next year. That's right. That's right. 11 till two mid South bank. Uh, we're going to have free lunch provided by Lenny's subs and grill. (13:53) They're going to have all sorts of prizes and giveaways for mid South. And some of the crew boat legs will be there in costume, getting ready to talk about the upcoming festival next month. So it should be a lot of fun. Uh, hope you can come out and join us at mid South bank, Beal and Carmel seven 68 Beal parkway Northwest is the exact address, and you can find out more details on this event by visiting the events tab at this handy dandy little website called The B Team show.com. (14:21) I would be remiss if I didn't mention that we forgot to say happy birthday to one of the LGBs yesterday. Ah, yeah, there it was, but it wasn't, it wasn't unintentional. It wasn't unintentional. God, Bobby, that's confuses the hell out of me. (14:38) What do you mean? I mean, I know we didn't. Why didn't you just say, God, that's, that's confusing. It wasn't, I'm going to have to write that down and walk myself through that. Yeah. It's it's called a double negative. It's you'll get there. (14:53) You know, it's like when I tell people, Hey, I don't know how to tell you this, but we could have done it without you. Well, I get that one. Here's the who. Oh, pretty mama. It's the doobies and blackwater on a beautiful Wednesday morning. (15:10) I mean, maybe not that beautiful. It's kind of overcast out there, but a temp wise feels comfortable. 67 degrees climbing up to a high this afternoon of 77. Take a look at your forecast here in just a little bit. B team morning shows on the air. I'm Schuyler black. He's Bobby Dewrell brought to you by stripes pub and grill and VAR Okaloosa gas, as well as outcast sushi in Miramar beach. (15:33) We're 20 some minutes away from getting your daily advice with uncle Bobby. So stick tight. That's all on the way. Second half of the hour. But in the meantime, Bobby's been working on a story for us this morning. Oh, I have. Well, you told me, no, I hear I, well, maybe not you and that damn iPad. (15:54) I, I swear to God, I'm so fed up with Apple products. Uh, yeah. Hey, so here we go. This is an interesting one for, uh, for me out of a psychology post. Um, people think that things go right more often than they actually do. Oh, we're actually, we're actually a little optimistic in this society. (16:14) Yeah. Are you kidding me? So a new psych psychology study found that we consistently underestimate how often things fail, whether it's jobs, relationships, projects, or everyday situations, researchers call this the failure gap. Now, why? (16:29) Well, it's because we mostly hear about success. People share wins, not losses. Failures are embarrassing or uncomfortable, so they stay hidden and that gives us a skewed view of reality. So in our heads, success looks way more common than it really is. (16:47) And failure looks rare, even though it, it happens all the time. Interesting. So were you part of this study? Does that make you feel better about yourself? Well, I'm curious on who was actually involved in this study. I don't know, but it didn't go that far. (17:02) The world is more sunshine and rainbows than we give a credit for. No, that's actually the opposite of what that says. The world is less sunshine and rainbows than we give a credit for. Exactly. There you go. You're, you're having a, you're having a morning, huh? (17:20) You know what we call this every day. Yeah. Every day. Hey, coming up on Saturday. Uh, come on out and join us at a Liza Jackson preparatory school right here in Fort Walton for their 25th anniversary open house, come on out. (17:37) It's going to be a lot of fun. There's going to be, uh, activities, uh, in games for the kids. There's going to be a food trucks on site, a DJ, all sorts of fun. And you'll be able to check out the school. So whether you're a, you're an alum and you remember the old Walmart school days, or you're a little more recent than that, maybe you're a past parent, past a staff member, or maybe you're a parent that's interested in your child, attending Liza Jackson at some point, all are invited to attend and check out the, uh, 25th anniversary open house this Saturday at Liza Jackson school right here in Fort Walton beach, and that goes on from 11 till one 30. (18:15) So don't miss out on that. We've got more details on the events tab at The B Team show.com. So good over there and check that out. Plus on the website, we've got all sorts of good stuff. Uh, our daily show notes from everything we talked about, local news, wacky news, daily holidays, your ask uncle Bobby feature and the show on demand anytime you want to listen all at The B Team show.com.

Got a couple more stories to get to here this hour as well. So stay with us a quick break. Uh, Bob Seeger, Steve Miller, deep purple and Eddie money all on the way and just a bit on 100.3 KROCK. (18:59) Well, speaking of Abracadabra Bobby, the, uh, DOJ announced yesterday. An 11 count fraud indictment against the Southern poverty law center, alleging the group secretly funded leaders and members of the KKK at publicly exposed, uh, opposed. (19:21) It's almost like it was a whole setup. Uh, yeah. Filed in federal court, uh, in Montgomery. Uh, the charges include six counts of wire fraud, four counts of bank fraud and one count of money laundering with prosecutors claiming that between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC paid at least $3 million to eight individuals tied to such groups such as the KKK and others effectively enabling the very extremism it denounced. (19:49) Now acting attorney general Todd Blanche alleged that some paid informants active actively promoted racist activity, including one link to planning to, uh. rally while Kash Patel stood alongside him and has previously criticized the organization. The SPLC acknowledged it's under investigation but defended its use of confidential informants as a life-saving effort to monitor violent groups with interim CEO Brian Fair calling the allegations false and pledging to vigorously fight the charges while continuing its mission against hate and extremism it's a hate organization in and of itself well it is and the whole thing is propped up mm-hmm so no racism not just just good old southern corruption right there let me tell you if you promote the needs of any religious sexually oriented or race-based organization if that's what your organization promotes is that the the needs and desires of any one of those groups then by its very nature you're a divisive group you're a racist bigoted group or sexist well yeah it kind of falls in there but yeah right but you're a special interest that's right you're trying you're elevating one's needs over everybody else's yeah I guess that counts to Frank yeah why not coming up in less than seven minutes we've got ask uncle Bobby plus former Destin City Council member reappointed to the council we'll get to that here in the eight o'clock hour right now deep purple and hush on 100.3 KROCK it's The B Team morning show or any money doesn't matter 747 is the time on this cloudy Wednesday morning 67 degrees here in Destin Fort Walton Beach a high today of 77 we'll check your forecast in just a little bit it's The B Team morning show I'm scattered black he is Bobby Dewrell we appreciate you all dialing in and spending your morning with us and tuning in at this very moment where the

stuff church stuff well this is the season or matching shirts make your group look way more organized than it really is check out byTomCat custom apparel over at the shops at Wright Plaza they got everything to make you look like you know what you're doing hmm yeah they can put on a fake facade for you all right uncle Bobby today you hear from the algorithm sidekick syndrome okay mm-hmm and they write in saying dear uncle Bobby my best friend has become Instagram famous really quickly and I feel overshadowed and resentful now I suspect it's mostly the algorithm and not real talent but how do I deal with this without ruining our friendship or losing my mind well resentful right good good that means your nervous system still works you know nothing like watching someone you used to split fries with get crowned a glowing rectangle because the algorithm decided their cheekbones test well with ads you know listen first you got to start calling it fame okay it's engagement which is just applause from people who cannot commit to clapping twice look your friend is not a celebrity they are a well-lit suggestion you know like a sponsored candle that smells like debt you know now you do not attack the person you attack the myth see casually seed the most innocent little doubt mention how their energy sometimes feels a little too polished a little too consistent almost like it was trained on 40,000 hours of smiling into a red light you know nothing illegal nothing dramatic just drop a gentle tasteful whisper that their charisma might be AI generated then act bored when anyone reacts you know let other people do the the work like you're you are tossing breadcrumbs into a pond and you're just watching the fish panic see at the same time you launch your parallel career as the anti-influencer you know same platform opposite religion no filters no hustle sermons no fake gratitude over a protein bar right you become the charismatic truth teller who reviews their genre like a food critic watching someone microwave steak and when your friend asks why you are suddenly getting traction you just smile you say you're just being yourself this is part of what really stings see the algorithm loves a rivalry and nothing spices up a feed like two best friends quietly turning their relationship into a cold war with better lighting microwaving steak sounds disgusting yeah but I have made a fried bologna sandwich with a lighter before yeah yeah Mike microwaving steak takes take that that was your takeaway well that's the one algorithm sidekick syndrome right there I hope that I hope that cures your resentment makes things better for you hey we'll do this again tomorrow morning ask uncle Bobby every morning around 745 right here on The B Team morning show and of course this part of the show is all stitched together by our friends at byTomCat custom apparel byTomCat custom apparel where the custom apparel is made for you ah that's that's a great tagline I think it's the

when you play boys of summer August in September right before football season mm-hmm yeah it may be a little out of season for it but it's better than playing Santa Claus is coming to town right now it's the equivalent oh it's not that bad by this well I guess we're gonna have to be like Billy Dean and we just gonna have to disagree and you know you know when it's appropriate to play welcome to the show probably never in your eyes ever worse song ever written I thought it was perfect for the circus no even the circus can't do anything that's terrible oh that's terrible yeah if you don't know

Miramar Beach what's uh what's shaking over there across the counter well you know what I'm gonna say is you know thank God it's not it's not Florida and and I think this really is an only in Ohio situation mmm but an Ohio arson suspect basically showed up with the evidence written all over his face yeah see please say William Bush came in for questioning about a fire involving fuel tanks but investigators immediately noticed something sins eyebrows burns on his face and bandages on his arms see the fire caused about 25,000 in damage and surveillance video showed a man stealing fuel when a flash fire broke out now at first Bush claimed the burns came from work then changed his story to a brush fire but when confronted with the evidence he admitted he had been siphoning gas and said the fire started accidentally when he lit a cigarette yeah he's now facing felony arson and property damage charges God Almighty Jesus are you sure he wasn't from the town of Florida Ohio that they did not say but it wouldn't surprise me well I've never been to the state of Ohio but the only one I know from Ohio is Drew Geiger yeah and the one thing I'll say is no matter where you go you meet a lot of people from Ohio and you know why because they don't want to be there because they don't want to be there hey coming up tomorrow it's Mid-South Banks one day a year where they appreciate their

Tom Petty, Jimi Hendrix, and Foreigner all on the way at this set. In the meantime, Whitesnake, slow and easy. It's the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. (30:28) Trying to make sure that the folks that are a long, long way from home get back home. Yes, that is true. And ICE recently deported a 25-year-old illegal immigrant days after she was released from her prison sentence for a 2020 fatal hit and run right here in Fort Walton Beach. The crash happened back on December 20th of 2020 on Highway 98 Miracle Strip Parkway, killing 63-year-old Fort Walton Beach man David Hayes. (30:57) Authorities say that Hilda Esperanza Lopez Hernandez, age 19 at the time, was driving a Ford Mustang when she collided with a vehicle operated by Hayes. Lopez Hernandez left the scene of the crash, pulled into a nearby restaurant, called her boyfriend, 40-year-old Antonio Reyes Macias, and swapped vehicles with him. Neither Lopez Hernandez or Macias called police. (31:23) Both were arrested days later. Lopez Hernandez for fatal hit and run and Macias for accessory after the fact. Now, Lopez Hernandez also did not have a driver's license and was in the country illegally. She was previously ordered to deport back in 2018 during an immigration hearing, but failed to attend it. Lopez Hernandez was convicted in the case in January of 23 and sentenced to four years in Florida State Prison. She was recently released from prison on March 30 and ICE Miami arrested her upon her release pursuant to an honored immigration detainer and deported her 10 days ago on April 12. (32:03) Also, another Florida story this morning. Sheila Sheriff Elizabeth Cormick, a Florida Congresswoman in the U.S. House of Representatives, resigned from Congress just as lawmakers were preparing to determine potential sanctions in a major ethics case. After a two-year investigation, a health ethics committee found that she had committed 25 violations, including breaches of campaign finance laws, tied to allegations that roughly $5 million in COVID relief funds connected to her family's health care business were improperly used to support her 2022 campaign. (33:02) As lawmakers considered penalties ranging from a reprimand or fine to possible expulsion, which was gaining support, she stepped down before any formal action was taken in arguing the process was just unfair and that she lacked sufficient time to mount a defense. (33:20) So anyway, she is no longer in Congress as of yesterday. Darn. I know, what a loss. What a loss for the state of Florida. Hey, coming up on May 9th, that's going to be two weeks from this Saturday, we have got a big day planned for everybody and we want you to be a part of it, starting the day at Marine Max here in Fort Walton Beach. How many pounds of crawfish, Bobby? 500. 500 pounds of crawfish. Come check out the latest and greatest in Grady White Boats, built for adventure, powered for the Gulf, and while you're there, grab a plate. (33:58) They're going to be serving up 500 pounds of fresh, delicious crawfish and it's all free of charge from 11 till 3 on Saturday, May 9th, Marine Max right across from Whataburger on 98 here in Fort Walton Beach. And then that afternoon, we'll travel up to Crestview for the America 250 Grand Parade and a celebration in downtown Crestview. That's going to be a ton of fun. Looking forward to that. Make sure you're decked out in all your patriotic gear too. Red, white, and blues. We've got all the details on these events and so many more if you just check out our website. It's called thebteamshow.com. All right, we're going to take a break. We've got one half hour left. (34:38) Oh man, is that all? That's it. I need a nap. I can see that. I just need a nap. Is it the cloudy conditions that are making you a little bit sleepy today? I don't know. Maybe. We'll see if we'll see some sunshine here with a look at your forecast coming up next on 100.3 KROCK. (34:58) Dancing days on a Wednesday morning. How you doing Emerald Coast? I'm Schuyler Black. He's Bobby Dewrell. We are the B Team Morning Show brought to you by our friends at Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Don't forget, tomorrow is Customer Appreciation Day at Mid-South Bank from 11 till 2. Stop by, get yourself a free sub from Lenny's, and maybe get some of the booty that Mid-South has given out with prizes and giveaways tomorrow. (35:32) Yeah, because when you think of bank, you want to think about booty and giveaway. You think Len's mad enough with me yet? Yeah, she hates you. We've got all the details on tomorrow's event on the B Team website, thebteamshow.com on the events tab. No such thing as bad publicity, Len. (35:52) All news is good news, is that what you're saying? There's no such thing as bad publicity, just remember that. It's all publicity. Bobby says it's all good, too. We'll debate that on a later date. (36:08) Hey, the Destin City Council voted Monday night to appoint former council member Chatham Morgan to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Torrey Guile earlier this month, with Morgan set to be sworn in on May 4th and serve until a permanent replacement is elected on November 3rd. (36:25) Chosen from a field of 11 applicants, Morgan was nominated by Jim Bagby and seconded by Theresa Hebert, who emphasized his prior council experience from 2016 to 2021 and familiarity with the city's budget process as key advantages ahead of the upcoming budget season. Morgan also previously filled an interim role, expressed enthusiasm about returning to serve, while council member Dewey Destin praised all applicants as qualified. Now, although Bobby Wagner does not vote unless breaking a tie, the mayor said he noted he would have supported applicant John Stevens for his dedication to attending meetings. Council leaders also encouraged the remaining candidates to run in November or pursue advisory roles, highlighting increased civic interest compared to past elections, and noted that the appointment follows the city charter requirements, as explained by city attorney Kim Kopp, which mandates filling vacancies by appointment when less than a year remains before the next election. So, Chatham Morgan back on the Destin City Council, at least for the rest of 2026. All right, a couple more songs before Bobby and I head out. (37:39) Van Halen, Dance the Night Away.
