Guinea Pig Appreciation Day: How a Squeaky Potato, Corn Fritters & a Porta‑Potty Rescue Turned Thursday Into Pure Chaos

(00:00) Here's today's B Team Redux. Well, back in the studio, I guess. Yeah, yeah. It's another day. That's where we are. The B Team Morning Show is on the air. That was Mary Kamala-esque. (00:18) It's just your discovery, Schuyler, that amazes me every day. Isn't it fun? See, what you have to remember is today is today until tomorrow. And then tomorrow, today, is yesterday. (00:34) But yesterday's today is today's tomorrow. Yes, Kamala. Yes. You're right. Was that a real clip? I have no idea. (00:50) But it's not that far-fetched to think it could have been a real clip. Because remember, all that data was stored in these clouds that hang above us. Alright, a high today of 94 degrees. (01:06) Good morning, Emerald Coast. How are you? I'm Schuyler Black. He's Bobby Dewrell. 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. Boy, this is a big-time holiday, folks. (01:22) And what? July 16th, big holiday, yes. It's Guinea Pig Appreciation Day. That's right, that's right. It's where we show gratitude for a potato that panics when you blink. Squeaky potato, I might add. (01:38) Guinea Pig Appreciation Day is a yearly reminder that humans are limited holiday for anything that doesn't file complaints in writing. So you're supposed to honor the tiny, weak machines in your living room with extra veggies, a cleaner palace, and the kind of reverent attention you normally reserve for your phone. (01:58) See, it's absurd on purpose, but it's kind of like putting a crown on a potato and calling it leadership. But look, the little fuzzloaf didn't ask to be domesticated into a snack-shaped roommate. So take the day, applaud the squeaks, pretend you're a better person, and don't act surprised when the guinea pig accepts your tribute like a tyrant who knows you'll be back tomorrow with more lettuce. Guinea Pig Appreciation Day. (02:26) All right, now you're celebrating. Yeah, well, you know, like every other day. Okay, it's the BT Morning Show. Here's the Stones' Brown Sugar on 100.3. Montrose with Rock Candy on the Classic Rock Station, 100.3 KROCK, 94 degrees this morning, sunshine today, 96 tomorrow, Saturday, 96 as well, but a 50% chance of storms is possible on Saturday. Of course, it's Blue Angels Airshow Week on Pensacola Beach today. Rehearsal at 2 p.m. Tomorrow, the full dress rehearsal with the civilian aerobatics tomorrow at 10.30, and the blues at 2, and then the same schedule follows for the whole shebang and the real show on Saturday. (03:10) We've got the full schedule of events for you online at our website, thebteamshow.com. All right, the B Team Morning Show rolls on with No. 2 of four national holidays this morning, and this one is Get to Know Your Customers Day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because, you know, nothing says valued relationship like a spreadsheet, a fake smile, and a coupon you'll ignore. Thanks, have a nice day. (03:38) My pleasure. God, I hate that. My pleasure. Oh, geez, I, you know, and it's such a Chick-fil-A thing to say now, too, and I appreciate that they're trying to bring the word back, right, but, you know, the way I grew up, my pleasure does not mean a nice thing. My pleasure is basically F you, and I, oh, man, it triggers me every time I'm in Chick-fil-A. It's a middle finger. Oh, God, anyway. (04:06) Hey, Get to Know Your Customer Day is that sweet little calendar excuse where businesses pretend they're curious about you as a person, you know, not just your credit limit and your tolerance for email newsletters. You know, it's when they ask how can we serve you better while quietly meaning how can we sell you the same thing twice in a friendlier font. I mean, sure, it can be useful, you know, if you've got the backbone to listen and the humility to change, which is, well, it's rarer than a gas station sandwich that won't ruin your week, but, so, smile, answer the questions if you feel like it, and remember, today, they want your story. Tomorrow, they're going to want your subscription. (04:46) Get to Know Your Customer's Day. Is it really that easy? Yep. Okay. It's the BT Morning Show. We're rocking and rolling through the 6 o'clock hour this morning. A quick break. We're rocking and rolling through the 6 o'clock hour this morning. A quick break, and look at your marine forecast is coming up next on 100.3 KROCK. (05:06) Stop by for more rock. 100.3 KROCK. Monthly event with the Fort Walton Beach City Manager. Coffee with the City Manager this morning at 8 o'clock at Fort Walton Beach Public Library downtown, so if you've got questions for the City Manager as they are in the midst of budget season, stop on down this morning, talk to Mr. Davis. (05:26) Also tonight, Luau Night out on the pier at Okaloosa Island. Of course, they're doing that every Thursday in the month of July. Stop by for live music, Luau-themed games, face-painting balloon animals, other free kids activities, fire dancers, prizes, and more. Luau Night at the pier tonight on Okaloosa Island out at the Boardwalk. Well, today, Bobby, you bring up our third holiday here, which happens to be Rural Transit Day. (05:54) Yeah! Yeah, you know, or as they call it in Iowa, Transit Day. Tractors. Horses. Hey, look, man, look. You know, Iowa's the only place where arriving sometime today counts as on schedule and, well, the scenic route is just life. (06:10) The scenic route? The scenic route? Yeah, it's corn. Corn to the left, corn to the right. I don't know how to tell you this. It's gotta be corn. But you're gonna see a lot of it. You're gonna see a lot. It paints a scene. It does. Of corn. (06:26) There's a reason it's called a flyover state. Hey! Bridge. And corn. Rural Transit Day is that annual civic fever dream where we all pretend the bus is coming. The van pool is on time and, well, your cousin's just five minutes out isn't really a lifestyle. Look, it's a salute to the folks stitching together doctor visits, grocery runs, and paychecks across 40 miles of nothing using a schedule that reads like a cryptic threat. Communities hold little events. Officials give speeches, and everyone nods like we're one grand away from modernity. Modernity. Yeah, that thing. (07:06) You know, it's absurd on purpose, sure, but it's the one day a year we admit the real public transit out here is hope, duct tape, and somebody's aunt with a reliable sedan. Did I really just help you with pronunciation? (07:22) It's modernness. Modernity. Modern, yeah. Modernity. Whatever. It ain't pregnant. Here's Fleetwood Mac. You make loving fun of the B Team Morning Show with 100.3 KROCK. There's the Jay Giles Band in centerfold on the Classic Rock Station, 100.3 KROCK. It's Thursday morning. The B Team Morning Show is on the air. Yes, we are in the midst of Blue Angels week, but if you're not getting to Pensacola Saturday for the big show, we've got some stuff going on here in Fort Walton Beach including the Singing for Slices fundraiser for ASHA, the Advanced Sacred Hope Academy. It comes up Saturday evening at 5 p.m. downtown Music Hall. That's right. Autistic kids have to eat. (08:10) Jeez, Bobby. Jeez. Well, it's Singing for Slices. Yeah. So we've got a guest coming in this morning. I'm not sure that she'll appreciate that, but you can mention it to her. Yeah, why not? (08:26) What the hell? Also, Saturday is the Farmer's Market. Won't be the first time I've gotten a lecture. Farmer's Market at Freedom Tech Center, Saturday morning from 9 until noon where you will find a fun-filled morning with live music, local vendors, delicious food, and maybe some sweet corn. Yeah. (08:46) Mm-hmm. Farmer's Market, Freedom Tech Center, Saturday morning. We've got a full listing of local events online at thebteamshow.com. And speaking of corn, it's National Corn Fritter Day. Boy, I tell you, man, this is all coming up Iowa today, isn't it? Yeah. I feel right at home here. Oh, man. Corn fritter. This is definitely an Iowa holiday. I mean, because this is all about deep-frying corn and pretending it's a holiday instead of a cry for help. That's kind of like birthday cake in Iowa. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I mean, just saying. National Corn Fritter Day is that annual moment when society looks at a perfectly respectable ear of corn and says, you know what this needs? Some oil, some chaos, and a, well, a battered base cover story. (09:34) Tell me that doesn't sound like Iowa. It does. And you dip it in butter. That's right. It's a holiday for people who want their vegetables to stop acting superior and start showing up like they owe somebody money, hot and crispy and, well, a little suspicious. Look, nobody's pretending this makes sense. We're just honoring the sacred American tradition of deep-frying optimism and calling it culture. So clear your schedule, lower your standards, and prepare Here to celebrate the kind of comfort food that tastes like a county fair and decisions you'll defend loudly. (10:07) That's a great snack though with fried chicken. Tell me that didn't, okay, I do have to say, and man I'm going to get backlash for that, but that last line does sound like a lot of Trump-ites, doesn't it? (10:27) Tastes like a county fair and decisions you'll defend loudly. America. That's hilarious. Oh God, if somebody, if you're mad about the fact that Schuyler said that, the number to call is 850-89-KROCK. (10:44) I'm not answering. All right, a quick break and Dan Diamond's got local news coming up for you momentarily. It's the B Team Morning Show. National Corn Fritter Day. 100.3 KROCK. Stand by for more rock. 100.3 KROCK. (11:01) It's the B Team Morning Show. Triumph and magic power. Speaking of magic power, we'll get to a story here in just a little bit about Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer and his magic power of his fart on the Senate floor yesterday. (11:17) Plus, we'll talk about the Okaloosa County Commissioners clearing the final hurdle for down park purchase near the Shalimar Bridge. And we'll talk about how your Okaloosa County Commissioners are now looking at a new sales tax initiative to replace the potential ad valorem homestead exemption that we'll vote on. (11:41) Oh, gee. Imagine that. Exactly. Imagine that. Who would have ever thought that that could happen? It's just going to be a replacement, folks. Simple as that. We'll get to that story here in just a little bit. 11 minutes after seven. (11:56) I'm Schuyler Black. He's Bobby Durrell. Fair skies here in Fort Walton right now. A high today of 97. Going to be a hot one out there. Hot and sunny. That's kind of what we're looking at the rest of the week. End of the weekend with increasing storm chances on Saturday. (12:17) Yeah, 60% chance of thunderstorms from Pensacola to Walton County Saturday afternoon, starting around 11 a.m., actually. So, something to keep an eye on, especially as many folks will head over to Pensacola Saturday for the Blue Angels official air show. (12:36) Now, today and tomorrow, the Blues will have their rehearsal. This afternoon, the Blues rehearse at 2 o'clock. And then tomorrow is the full dress rehearsal with the civilian aerobatics at 10.30 and the Blue Angels at 2 o'clock. And then that same 10.30 and 2 p.m. schedule will follow on Saturday. (12:55) We've got that full schedule for you online at thebteamshow.com. Just click on the events tab. Yeah, that's right where it is. I know. Who would have thought to put events under events? But, you know, sometimes you do crazy stuff. Sometimes you do crazy stuff. I know. (13:10) Sometimes you just like to throw people off. But this is not one of those cases. Of course, later on in the hour, we'll get your daily advice with Uncle Bobby as well. We've got lots to talk about, and I think we've got a special guest coming in next hour as well. Oh, yeah. That's today. (13:25) Singing for Slices. That's right. It's the event where they let the kids eat. Yeah, because they never let them eat any other time. But they've got to sing first. That's right. Singing for Slices coming to Downtown Music Hall to benefit ASHA, the Advanced Sacred Hope Academy here in Fort Walton, Saturday night. (13:42) So we'll learn more about that next hour as well. All right. A lot to get to, so stay with us. Right now, Journey, Don't Stop Believing. It's the B Team Morning Show brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Hokalusa Gas at Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach on 100.3 KROCK. (14:01) What are you doing over there? Are you shaking your head? Oh, no. I'm just laughing about the song because I forget. It's what? What's the song length? It's like three minutes and nine seconds. Three minutes, nine seconds. Yeah. I know I've told this story every time that it comes up, but three minutes and nine seconds. (14:21) So when I ran the control rooms up for the very large bank that I used to work for that was in America, we had a point during a release that was the point of no return. At that point, we're in. This thing's happening. There's nothing we can back out. (14:36) There's no way to back it out. We just got to figure it out and go forward if something's wrong. And so that was kind of a pivotal moment, and everybody was always asking about it. And so I developed the whole system to figure out where the point of no return was. (14:51) And then when I was running the control room, I would religiously, at about five minutes coming up to it, watch. And with three minutes, nine seconds to go, it played. And that's what would play in the control room. And as it faded out, that's when the point of no return started. (15:06) That's right. And then we'd get the blink on the screen that said point of no return. It worked out for you. Now, I think that's originally why they recorded the song. I think so, too. Yeah, as I recall. Yeah. Yeah, we had that one, and then the other thing I did, too, is final countdown. (15:22) I want to say that one's like four minutes, 11 seconds. Yeah, that's right around 4.15. Let's see. Europe. That's right at four minutes. Yeah, yeah. So that one, we'd be in the last, and I'd watch, and I'd watch. (15:37) And boom, I'd hit it, and I'd have a countdown clock on the screen. Countdown. I can see it. Yeah, exactly. Well, on Tuesday this week, the Okaloosa County Commissioners voted 5-0 to approve the results of a month-long due diligence review. (15:57) The 1.7-acre Waterfront property at the northeast corner of the Chalamar Bridge, clearing the last contingency standing between the county and the closing of its planned purchase of the site for a new public park. Now, when commissioners first approved the $3 million purchase and sale agreement back in March of this year, they added a provision requiring county staff to complete all due diligence, including the appraisal, seawall inspection, and verification of funding sources, and bring the results back to the full board for review before the county could proceed to closing. (16:29) Tuesday's vote satisfies that requirement. How much did they spend on that property? $2,950,000. So $3 million. I'm just shy. Dang. A lot of money for 1.7 acres. (16:44) Yep. All right, let's take a break. We've got another story regarding your Okaloosa County Commissioners to get to here in just a little bit, plus your daily advice from Ask Uncle Bobby, also on the way in the second half of the hour. It's the B Team Morning Show, brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach on 100.3 KROCK. (17:07) Sounds dangerous. Sounds fun. Does it? No. Kind of like a picture you were showing me about 30 minutes ago. Yeah, yeah. Looked like hell? Yeah. 7.35 is the time. (17:25) Beautiful sunshine here in Fort Walton Beach. A high today of 97. It'll be hot and humid today, tomorrow, and then Saturday. Showers and thunderstorms are going to be likely across our area. We'll check that full forecast here in just a little bit. (17:43) But Bobby, the Okaloosa County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to pursue a legislative initiative that could eventually eliminate county and city general property taxes on homesteaded properties, replacing them with a one cent sales tax. (18:01) The initiative, titled A Penny to Save Our County Homes, a zero homestead millage initiative, was developed by Chairman Trey Goodwin with assistance from Deputy County Administrator Craig Coffey and County Administrator John Hofstad. Now, it would require the Florida Legislature to authorize a new type of local option sales surtax before any county could act on it. (18:25) The concept is straightforward in principle. Get the Coast says if state lawmakers created the tool, a county could replace a referendum on a general election ballot, asking voters whether they want to swap general millage on homesteaded properties for a one penny sales tax. (18:41) Passage would require a 60% supermajority. Now, in Okaloosa County, Goodwin said the numbers support the concept. According to the agenda documents, the county currently collects about $37 million annually in general millage from homestead property owners. (18:57) One cent sales tax split between the county and its nine cities under existing state revenue sharing formulas could generate enough to replace those dollars entirely, they say. Now, more than a third of sales tax revenue in Okaloosa County comes from non-residents and visitors, meaning a significant share of the replacement funding would be paid by tourists rather than local homeowners. (19:21) The proposal would apply only to county and city general revenue millage, and it would not affect school district taxes, independent special districts, fire districts, non-ad valorem assessments, MSTUs or MSBUs. (19:37) Surtax approved under the initiative would carry a set term. A 10-year approval, for example, would mean 10 years of zero general millage on homesteads. Any extension would require another voter referendum. (19:53) Is set at 3.83 mils. Now, that doesn't account for the almost 3.1 mils for schools and any sort of fire millage if you don't live in a city that has its own fire department. (20:22) Right. And I think the state law is set at 10 mils max per taxing authority. I think so. Something like that. I can't remember. So, this would only replace homestead property taxes in Okaloosa County and in municipalities within Okaloosa County, but it would not replace school board millage, fire millage, and other taxing authorities out there. (20:55) So, everybody thinks that it's all just one pot, but no, there's a number of different taxing authorities that go into your property taxes. It's not just one set rate. So, anyway, I thought I'd pass that along this morning because the story was out there. Well, I know it's a hot-button issue right now, especially with the ad valorem bill that'll be on our ballots here in the month of November. (21:23) So, there you have it. All right, coming up here in just a little bit, Ask Uncle Bobby. Yeah, daily advice is on the way. Are you excited for it? I'm so excited. Don't hide it. It's the B Team Morning Show with the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. We're choosing Uncle Bobby this morning. That's right. It's the time of the morning for your daily advice when the music plays and the clock strikes 745-ish. (21:51) That's when we turn to Uncle Bobby. It's Ask Uncle Bobby weekday mornings at 745-ish, all stitched together byTomCat Custom Apparel. By Tomcat Custom Apparel, reminding you that school starts in just three short weeks and, well, football season's going to be here. Make sure they know which local team you root for. (22:09) That's right. By Tomcat Custom Apparel can help your booster club, fan club, or sports team look like they belong on the field. Bobby, it's not too early to start thinking about hoodie season. That's right. All right. Today, Uncle Bobby, you hear from Sir Please and Thanks the Third. Dear Uncle Bobby, it feels like basic manners have vanished everywhere I go, and I'm constantly surrounded by rude people. (22:35) Yeah. How do I cope without losing my mind or becoming bitter? Look, you cope by accepting the obvious truth, okay? You are not surrounded by rude people. You are surrounded by evidence, and that makes you the reluctant, exhausted, and last living clerk of the court of human decency. (22:59) Look, this isn't random, okay? This is a coordinated resignation. See, folks used to have jobs, you know, holding doors, taking turns, not screaming into their phone like they're broadcasting the fall of Rome to a Bluetooth headset. Now? Oh, they've all clocked out. Yeah, no notice, no severance, just walking off the shift and leaving you to mop up the social spill like a volunteer janitor at a food fight, okay? (23:26) Now, here's how you keep your sanity. You got to stop treating rudeness like a vibe and start treating it like a charge. See, every line cutter is not in a hurry. No, no, they are committing petty larceny of time. (23:41) Every internet troll isn't having a bad day. They are impersonating an adult without a license, and you document it, not because you're petty, because you're building a case file. So, you got to carry a little notebook, nothing dramatic, nothing dramatic, just a clean, cold ledger, date, location, offense, door not held, cart rammed into ankle, speakerphone in public, no excuse me. (24:07) And look, you don't even have to confront them. No, no, no, the power is in knowing you could. Like walking around with a badge nobody recognized, but you still feel the weight of it. Then you got to escalate responsibly. See, you appoint yourself manner sheriff. Not with violence, with procedure. You start handing out imaginary citations with your eyes. (24:30) You stand a little straighter in the checkout line like a judge who already knows the verdict. And when someone finally says thank you, like a civilized mammal, well, you mark it down too. Because even outlaws can be rehabilitated under supervision. (24:47) Alright, there's the response this morning, Mr. Sir Please and Thanks the Third. It's 7.52, and of course we do Ask Uncle Bobby every morning, right around this time, all stitched together byTomCat Custom Apparel. (25:04) By Tomcat Custom Apparel, where the apparel is made custom for you. I wonder if that's sold him any shirts yet. Like five, I think. News is next. Deaf Leopard, pour some sugar on me. (25:19) Yeah, it's time to pour some sugar on Facebook and make it easy to work with. Yeah, I know. It's such a freaking mess, man. 78 degrees, beautiful sunshine outside right now here in Fort Walton Beach. (25:36) High today of 97 across our stretch of the Emerald Coast, and it's going to be 98 tomorrow. 96 are high on a Saturday. But those of you that plan to head over to the Blue Angels on Saturday, you need to be aware of the forecast. (25:55) We're looking at showers and thunderstorms popping up along coastal areas around 11 a.m. And at 10.30 Saturday morning, that is when the civilian aerobatics begin. 2 o'clock is when the blues will start. Today, the blues have their rehearsal at 2 o'clock, and tomorrow is the full dress rehearsal. (26:14) Follows the same schedule as Saturday at 10.30, civilian aerobatics, and at 2 o'clock, it's the Blue Angels. We've got that full schedule for you online if you go to our website, which happens to be called thebteamshow.com. (26:29) Yeah, there you go. 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. A man in Kansas City somehow got trapped under the seat of a porta potty and in the giant tub where all the nastiness goes. (26:53) Yeah, he needed firefighters to saw a hole in the porta potty and free him. How do you get down there? I don't know, but I'm going to throw up. Members of the Kansas City Fire Department used an electric saw to slice through the plastic to free the man from the bowl, careful not to cut too low and have all the contents of the potty spill out into the street. (27:17) The rescue ended with firefighters successfully pulling him out, then giving a big old hose down beside the fire truck to get the crap off of him, literally. That is disgusting. But how do you get in there, and how do you get yourself in a position to get in there, either? (27:38) I don't get that one at all. Why would you want to do that? It almost looks like he lifted the seat, and it's like he climbed down in there for fun. Yeah, I'm good. Let's get him a mental evaluation. (27:53) That's just absolutely disgusting. All right, well, we are expecting a guest at some point this morning during this hour. Let's hope they make it. Let's hope they make it. The Advanced Sacred Hope Academy, OSHA, right here in Fort Walton Beach, local autism school, has got a fundraiser Saturday night at downtown Music Hall called Singing for Slices. (28:14) So we'll learn more about that, hopefully, this hour. We've got the details of what we know posted online at thebteamshow.com. All right, ELO coming up, the Eagles, and some deep purple in the next 10 minutes. (28:31) Right now, Brian Adams, I need somebody. It's 100.3 KROCK. Run that direction. Call for help. It is not a good thing, and if you see me walking down the street, pick me up. My car broke down somewhere. (28:46) This isn't by choice. Good morning, everybody. It's the BT Morning Show, Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas at OutKast Sushi out in Miramar Beach. It's a beautiful morning here in Fort Walton, around 80 degrees right now, a high today of 97. (29:04) We'll check that forecast just a little bit. Bobby, you scheduled a guest this morning. Hey, look. Talk about a beautiful morning. I mean, it got a little brighter in here because Lauren's joined us now. I know. It was dark. Otherwise, it's just looking at your mug. The light came on as soon as Lauren walked in. (29:19) That's right. That's right. Yeah. Look, we're making her blush. Lauren over at Advanced Sacred Hope Academy. Now, I learned something new, Schuyler. So, Lauren, we have been trying to promote this for you, getting ready for you to come in and everything, tell everybody more about it. (29:34) But apparently, I had it a little wrong. And so, you know, you got to learn something new every day. Right. So, actually… You're really wrong. Actually, this is… It's called Singing for Slices. And my assumption was that the kids had to get up and sing and that's how they got to eat. (29:49) But apparently, that's not what's going on. So, I'll let Lauren correct me. Although, I thought my version was interesting. It was interesting and she laughed. more flattering than the response I thought you were gonna get, but still wrong, right? (30:06) I knew I was on the line between a laugh and a slap. Ideation is my thing, so we can roll with anything you've got. But this time around, your registration to sing comes with two slices of pizza. Which, yes, singing four slices, but you're also singing for our teachers, which is pretty sweet. (30:25) So you get pizza, a drink, and an opportunity to show off your vocal cords. Taking this back, just one quick second. This is coming up Saturday night, this Saturday, July 18th, Downtown Music Hall, downtown Fort Walton Beach, starting at 5 p.m. (30:44) Yes. Unless you want to come and be VIP, the owners love having us there. They're huge supporters of ASHA, so they're going to let me put a VIP room in the green room upstairs. So at 3 o'clock, our VIP room will open. We'll have a massage therapist, a few little drink options up there, and some pre-snacks. (31:02) That'll be open to our judges and our contestants as well. Well, you gotta loosen people up. Yeah, come hang out. I don't sing well until about three beers in. Now, the snacks, we're talking like pretzels and boiled peanuts and... Well, not typically when I'm putting something together, like charcuteries or, you know, something a little here or there. (31:22) Oh, we're stepping up. We're stepping up the game. She does those Sean Connery boards. Those are nice. Sean Connery boards. Charcuterie, Bobby. Yeah, Sean Connery. I don't hear the difference. That's all right. You know, I love that idea, actually. I might put a little Sean Connery in the middle of my charcuterie board just for you, and I'm going to put KROCK's logo on there. (31:40) So it's a fundraiser, right? All the proceeds are going to your teachers and to their classrooms, correct? Yes. We opened a new campus this year, so we went from serving 60 children up to 100. So that's a lot for the teachers, and they take on all the expenses for their school supplies. (31:59) And they opened a school in a bingo hall. Yeah. The old bingo hall on Racetrack is our new school. Oh, rock on. Yeah, the one right there. On the north side of Racetrack. North side. Yeah, yeah. The one where the guy... Yeah, never mind. I know the guy that owns the other bingo hall. Oh. It was beautiful. It was waiting for us. (32:18) Yes, yes, yes. Perfect location, though. Yes. And we will have 8 to 10 teachers, and they serve 8 to 10 students per teacher. And I really want to support them this year. The school does, the whole team. So Downtown Music Hall has really given us an opportunity to take our small karaoke contest to a proper singing competition this year. So it'll be karaoke, but there'll be some good singers. (32:45) Yeah. Now, real quick, because I do want to get back to the competition, but so everybody knows what it's benefiting. So what does Advanced Sacred Hope Academy do? Ah, so we are a private school for autistic children. Okay. Our focus is the neurodivergent community. And we take children from pre-K all the way up until high school ages. So sometimes that can be up towards 22, depending on their level. (33:07) And we are a transitional learning center. So we provide services and ABA therapy for the students, but they can also, if they don't want to do education, come in and get therapy as well. Awesome. So we're two businesses under one umbrella, really doing a lot to impact the children in need. There's such a need for this in the community. (33:28) Absolutely. Absolutely. And so that's what we're raising money for with the Singing for Slices, with the competition. One, it's a great competition. Come down, join in, show off your vocal pipes, right? You sign up, your registration fees, all that, that's going to go to help these teachers, anybody that comes in to watch and enjoy, that's all going to help and support the teachers, right? And support this. And now, so you get to show off your pipes, but then there's some cool prizes I hear. (33:54) Oh, yes. I just confirmed yesterday that I'll be giving away to the grand prize. The overall winner, we'll have four winners overall. We'll acquire a seven night cruise anywhere in the world with Wyndham. Oh yeah. Oh, are you excited to come sing now? Only $25 could get you a seven night cruise. Then I also have- I can break glass with my singing. (34:15) American Spirit. Hey, look, there's winners for overall entertainment as well. So I'm just saying, if you're the most entertaining, you could win a prize. So that doesn't mean the best. He's definitely entertaining. You know, that's like, I remember being a kid. (34:30) You give this guy a salt shaker and he'll lip sync anything. I'm telling you, American Spirit charters, they just donated a six person private captain boat charter trip for us. And then I'm working on getting Marina Cafe involved as well. So I've got a lot of really amazing things underlying, little staycays and door prizes every 30 minutes. (34:54) So you'll get a really cool door prize from facials to flowers. And we'll also have a silent auction as well. So I have some cool little ways for us to just create more impact. And so this is a huge, big event. I mean, it's, yeah, we're going to have people singing. We're going to have that part, but I mean, you've got a lot more going on. I mean, this is, this is really almost a little bit of a gala, right? I mean, it's. (35:15) Yeah. Turn it up. Cause you don't have to listen to the BT morning show anymore. Yeah.
