Hufflepuff Pride Day: How Wizard Loyalty, Ravioli & Spring's Lies Broke Our Brackets

(00:00) Here's today's B Team Redux. We stop down here at the studio with a bottle of vodka and some Bloody Mary mix. We'll say thank you to you. We will. We're not going to pay you, but if you want to offer that to us, we'll give you a shout out. It might be the end of the show. It may be. We might check you out early. Good morning, everybody. Happy Friday to you. We're the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Tom Mason. Tom's still filling in for Bobby, who will be back sometime this year. Maybe. We're going to see a high today of 74. It should be a purty one out there. Boy, it's going to be nice. It's going to be a great weekend. More on that in just a little bit. But today on the National Day Calendar, Tom, we open up the show with Steve Dudley and I. When we go over to Biloxi, we play the Huff and Puff slot machine. The Huff and Puff slot machine. Huff and Puff slot machine. And it's in today's Hufflepuff Pride Day. It is Hufflepuff Pride Day. Celebrating the house motto, show up, try hard, and still get picked last for wizard kickball. I don't feel like that's the slot machine. Well, probably not. But it is that annual moment when the nicest house in wizard school finally stops apologizing for existing and throws a parade for loyalty, snacks, and showing up on time. People dress in yellow like human caution signs, hug strangers with alarming confidence, and swear their greatest magic is doing the work. Like that's not just adulthood with a wand. It's wholesome, it's loud, and it's built on the dangerous idea that being decent is somehow rebellious. Don't worry. We're not here to ruin it. We're here to document it before it starts demanding a commitment and a sign-up sheet. Oh my god. (02:21) Be a decent person. Hufflepuff Pride Day. Yeah. Are you a Harry Potter-y, whatever they call you? I mean, I watched a couple of the movies when they came out 25 years ago. Yeah. But I never was really into it. Not so much? The damn movies. So yesterday we talked about my lack of attention span. Yeah. And the movies are all three hours plus. Yeah, they are. (02:44) I can't do that. Yeah. I cannot do that. You'll lose me after about two hours. Okay. You got me for two hours. Unless it's a football game. I will sit down and I'll watch every snap of that football game if I'm invested into it. If it's a team I care about. Outside of that, mm-mm. Now are you the type of person that when you're watching a football game wants to watch the football game? In other words, if there's a house full of people, are you still sitting there watching the football game or are you out and about in the house? Yes, I am. Yes, I am. Okay. Yeah. Well, because my eyesight sucks, I sit on the floor in front of the TV. Yeah. Drinking one hand. Okay. And then, depending on how the game's going, Taylor and I will talk. We'll high-five. We'll cheer. Yeah. We'll yell at the team if they're not doing well. Yeah. But no, you don't take my focus away from that football game. I am absolutely invested. Yeah. My weekend rides on that result. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My neighbors like that. No, nobody's coming over to the house on football day. My one thing is I want to sit and watch the football game. I don't want to sit and have conversations. I don't want to do all this other stuff. I want to watch football. Yeah. And that's the way he does it. And then once it's over, I'll be social again. Yeah. Right? I'm fine. Yeah. But as that game's going on, I want to hear the commentary. (04:14) I want to hear the crowd. I want to hear the coaches. I want to be at the game. You're there for the game. That's right. Right. That's right. Not the social event. We can make small talk later. When I'm not distracted. Let me watch this 3rd and 6th. All right. 400 Dirty White Boy. That sounds racist. It does. Is this love that I'm feeling on a Friday morning? (04:41) I think it's the love of not having to wake up at 5 tomorrow morning. That's the feeling I've got at the moment. There you go. It's Friday. You gotta love something. Uh-huh. Second day, the round of 64 in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. We're going to carry Alabama this afternoon at 1.30 and Florida tonight around 8 p.m. over on Sister Station. 103.7 the ticket. (05:05) We'll have play-by-play coverage of today's games, all sponsored by Brad Koppel with the resolution of Destin Insurance, as well as Dr. Richard Shuren with the Hormone Restoration Clinic in Miramar Beach. So when you're talking about the 64, and I know you got the Sweet 16 and the Final Four and all that stuff, does each day have a new tagline about it? Is it now the 32? Yeah. Right. Does it drop like that? So the tournament originally, well the last 40 years, has been 64 teams. Okay. Last 40 years has been 64 teams. Okay. And then somewhere around 2000, they added a 65th with the two weakest teams in the bracket as a play-in game to get into the round of 64. Okay. And then about 15 years ago, 12 years ago, they added in three additional teams, so you have 68. So you've got the eight weakest teams playing in four games to get into the bracket of 64. Okay. So those are called the First Four. Those are played on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Then yesterday and today is the round of 64. 16 games, 32 teams each day. (06:21) That gets whittled down to the round of 32, which will be tomorrow and Sunday. Okay. And then the winners of those two games on Saturday, or those two days, Saturday and Sunday, play the Sweet 16 Thursday, Friday of next weekend. And the winners of those games on Thursday, Friday next weekend, play in the Elite Eight on Saturday, Sunday. The winners of those Elite Eight games go to the Final Four the following weekend. Okay. Okay. Good to know. So it's three weekends, essentially. (06:51) All right. All right. Very cool. Today, looking at the National Day calendar, Tom, it's Ravioli Day. Ooh, man, I love me some raviolis. Are you the Chef Boyardee guy? No, man. You want real stuff. I am like, when I go to Ollie's and I am always there, I always end up having the lobster ravioli. Oh, is it good? Oh, man. Is it good? Red sauce or Alfredo? Theirs is Alfredo. (07:22) Is it? Am I correct on that? Because what's the other... Ollie's and then there's... Darn it. I can't think of the name. Where at? Uptown Station. Oh, Clemenza's. Clemenza's. Thank you. Thank you. Sorry about that. Yeah, Clemenza's. They have the red sauce and, man, it's awesome. (07:44) So you suggest ordering that? I love it. Yeah. I always get it when I go there. So anyway... Today's your day. Yeah. So anyway, National Ravioli Day because we need a holiday for pasta pockets to feel validated while the rest of us eat disappointment out of a microwave. (08:00) Chef Boyardee. There you go. It's that annual reminder that civilization peaked the moment somebody stuffed dinner inside a little pasta pillow and said, yeah, that'll hold. Pasta pillow. It's not a real holiday, of course, but neither is half the stuff on your calendar. (08:21) And at least one comes with sauce and plausible deniability. People celebrate by posting photos, arguing about cheese like it's foreign policy, and pretending homemade means they opened the package with intention. Consider it a warm up for your appetite and your dignity because once you start honoring ravioli, everything else is negotiable. That's true. It is. It is true. (08:43) Yeah. Are we scraping the bottom of the barrel on this one? No, man. No, not at all. Not with ravioli, man. That's the top of the bar for me. If you get the real stuff. Yes. Yes. We're not honoring Chef Boyardee today. No, unfortunately not. The red label just doesn't hold that much weight. No, it doesn't. It doesn't do it for me. But man, I love me some ravioli. All right. We're going to take a break and look at your marine forecast because maybe some of you actually would want to be on the water this weekend. We got gorgeous weather in store. We'll get you caught up on what to expect out on the water in just a bit. It's the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. (09:21) B Team Morning Show on a TGI Friday. Gorgeous weather in store here. We'll check that forecast for your whole weekend coming up in just a little bit. You're going to like it, folks. Time to get the grills out, fire them up. And today on the National Day calendar, it's the Great American Meetout. Yep. The one day salad gets to cosplay as dinner while your grill sits outside ashamed and sober. Oh, that's not what I was going for. (09:53) The Great American Meetout is that one day a year where a country pretends it can quit meat cold turkey. Which is hilarious because turkey is meat and America can't quit anything without a rewards program. It started as a polite little dare to go vegetarian for 24 hours and now it's a full-blown annual group project in self-control, complete with lentils, smugness, and people reading ingredients labels like they're defusing a bomb. (10:19) The pitch is simple. Give your arteries a snow day, try a plant-based meal, and see if you survive without worshipping a grill. Don't worry. Nobody's taking your brisket away. This is just a temporary ceasefire in the long war between your conscience and your appetite. (10:37) I'm sorry. That is not... When they said meat out, I thought putting meat out on the grill. I did the same thing. I thought this was something about, you know... Good job, Tom. You picked a low call today. I don't want to say honoring meat. (10:53) Protein. Leave it to Tom to pick the low call. Oh boy, yeah. We won't be honoring that one today. Hey, we've got a full listing of area events on our website at thebteamshow.com. (11:08) And a big concert coming to Biloxi in about three weeks with Sticks and Foghat. We've got tickets that you can win. Stop by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre before the end of the month and get registered. We'll draw for a winner of those tickets coming up in the first couple days of April. (11:25) So get out to Stripes and get registered for those tickets. Again, we've got details on that and so many more events at thebteamshow.com. Here's Queen on 100.3 KROCK. ZZ Top with a song fitting on a Friday just got paid. (11:43) What are you doing with your paycheck today? Ooh, ooh. I still owe you 42 cents. Oh, for my bracket? Your bracket, yeah. So that'll probably wipe it out. Well, you didn't account for the day interest charge. (11:59) I know. I know, but it's still there. 42 cents would only cover the principal. Yeah, I know. We're not talking about interest. I'm in trouble. Yeah. I don't think my paycheck's going to be enough. I think if we walked the sidewalk long enough, we could come up with it. (12:16) Can I finance this? Yeah, exactly. Go home and check the couch cushions. What kind of installment payments would you like? It's the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Tom Mason on a Friday. Coming up, by the way, next Friday is the Bunny Hop Trail Kids event at the Fort Walton Beach Rec Center from 5.30 until 8.30 p.m. (12:36) At the Rec Center and the Preston Hood Athletic Complex at 132 Jet Drive right here in Fort Walton Beach. A family-friendly event. They're going to have treats, bounce houses, face painting, and other fun activities as well as a photo booth where kids can have their picture taken with the Easter Bunny. (12:52) So it's a family-friendly event. They do it every year. Big hit. Several hundred kids come out and families. Again, we've got details on the Events tab at thebteamshow.com. Now, taking a look at the final day on the National Day calendar, we have reason to celebrate. (13:07) Old Man Winter got its last breath and gasp earlier this week. But today is the first day of spring. Yes. Yes. When winter pretends it's leaving, allergies clock in early, and everybody acts shocked, the weather's still lying to them. (13:22) And it is a little bit—actually, it's not bad out there. So it's probably fitting. But the first day of spring is that annual moment when we all agree that the world has turned a corner, even though the wind's still got a knife in it and your car is still wearing road salt like cologne. (13:38) People start talking about fresh starts while their allergies load the chamber and the trees rev up like they've got something to prove. It's part calendar, part group hallucination, and somehow we fall for it every time because the hope is cheaper than therapy and doesn't require an appointment. (13:55) So go ahead, open a window, buy an appointment. So go ahead, open a window, buy a sad little plant, and act like you're reborn. Just remember, spring doesn't love you back. It just shows up. That's true. Yeah. Happy first day of spring, everybody. (14:10) And we are—this weekend, we're two weeks out from Easter. I know. Isn't that amazing? Uh-huh. And it's gorgeous outside, so hopefully that leads into something, you know, good down the road. I don't know where I was going with that. I don't either. (14:25) You know, but I was going somewhere with it. I just don't know where. So, you know, here we are. No problem, Uncle Joe. Or Tom. Trying to figure out where the hell Tom was going. We're the V Team Morning Show coming up in the 7 o'clock hour. We're going to look at some of the stories for you right here on 100.3 KROCK. (14:43) Who are you? Who are you? Yeah. There's the who on 100.3 KROCK, the Classic Rock Station. It's Friday morning. I know. Are you excited? This week has just absolutely flown by. It has. Yeah. (14:58) You know what else is going to fly by today? What's that? The thermometer. It's going to warm up. Yeah, it's going to warm up. It got nice yesterday afternoon. It really did. It did. It did. Got to right around 70. Flirted with it for a while. Yeah. 75 today, 77 tomorrow, 77 Sunday, 81 on Monday. (15:17) But right now, it's going to have to hustle. Yeah. It's at 45 at the moment, so it's chilly this morning, but it will be a beautiful weekend starting around lunchtime today and leading all the way through. So that full forecast is coming up in just a little bit. (15:33) We are the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Tom Mason brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. You reckon that Sugar Shane's listening this morning? He might be. (15:48) He's got some passengers with him this morning, so maybe he's trying to see if he can funnel some gas money out of those guys or something like that. I like how you phrased that. He's got some passengers. Passengers. I mean, you could use the word friend, buddy, acquaintance. (16:06) Yeah. They didn't even scratch the surface of those categories. No, because we don't know yet that they have pitched in for gas and beer and food and all that other stuff for the trip. So up until that point, you're a passenger. (16:21) You know, I could say the same about Shane, but I'll tell you what. After he drank my whole bottle of bourbon, he did replace it. He did. He did with a high-quality bottle, too. Yeah. I mean, he went top shelf. Did he? (16:36) He did. We didn't get plastic bottle beam? Oh, no, no, no. It's not plastic bottle beam. No. It's definitely a glass bottle. That's for sure. We're cracking it open later? A jar, something like that. I'm not sure what you call it. Yeah. So he's got some passengers. (16:52) He's got passengers, yeah. I didn't know he was driving for Five Ride. Yeah. Obviously, huh? He must be the only guy with a nice enough truck to be able to haul other people around like that, I guess. Must be. Yeah. (17:07) Must be. Is he the only Uber they've got up in Crestview? I guess so. Could be. Yeah? Yeah. Does he have one of those blue signs in the window? In the window? Yeah. Light up in the dark? Yeah. Which would be fitting since the folks that are with him, I think their primary colors this year for the crew are blue. (17:25) So that would be kind of fitting. Yeah. Yeah. Again. That is true. They're still passengers at this point until we get word otherwise. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We'll just leave them in that category. Right. (17:40) Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Contributing passengers. Then you could become friends. That's how you elevate your status. That's right. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. You don't get to hit that friend level until you start pitching in. You know? Up until then, you're just a freeloading passenger. (17:56) You might as well sit in the back. You know? I'll tell you what. One of those passengers works in the tax collector's office. You'd think he'd know about paying his fair share, right? Yeah. You'd think so, but who knows? Yeah. Yeah. Either that or he just doesn't care. (18:13) That might be right. So you had a little excitement in your neighborhood yesterday. Yes, we did. Went home, picked up some stuff from the house, and amazingly enough, the Fort Walton Beach Police Department was kind of parked strategically in the neighborhood there, and I left. (18:34) And I must have left just before they shut everything down and brought in the bomb squad. Literally. They brought in the bomb squad. Yeah. And I'm thinking, did something fall off my truck? Did I leave something sitting on the bed when I left the neighborhood or something like that? (18:51) Is my backpack sitting on the street? I don't know. Wow. I never quite heard what it was. But, yeah, they had Eglin EOD and the bomb squad and everybody over there on the bridge that crosses Bass Lake. I guess there was some kind of suspicious package sitting there. (19:07) No idea how they discovered it or anything. But, yeah, they had the area closed down for quite a while. Yeah, there was a story out on Channel 3, and authorities in Fort Walton Beach responded to a reported suspicious package on Thursday afternoon, prompting police to secure the area along Mooney Road between Sherwood and Country Club Avenue. (19:28) The roads were temporarily closed while bomb squad had investigated the situation, but officials later confirmed that Mooney Road had since reopened, obviously, as you got here this morning. Yeah. And as of yesterday, no other additional information had been released. Okay. So, anyway, but that's a little excitement in your neighborhood, huh? (19:46) Yeah. Yeah, it was. Unwanted excitement, you know, but, you know, glad nothing came out of it. You never know what you get when you get neighbors like, you know, the McGee's and the Gray Six. I know. I know. Kelly, Nathan, he's back there in the neighborhood too. (20:04) Is he really? Yeah. He's got three questionable characters. Who are these people that we hang around with? I know. The company we keep. Holy smokes. It's a B Team Morning Show. (20:21) Here's Billy Schuyler of KROCK. Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song. It fits. It does fit. 45 degrees in Destin, Fort Walton Beach this morning. A high today of 75. (20:36) That full Emerald Coast forecast is coming up in just a bit. After we got off the air yesterday, I had like an hour, and I filled out a couple brackets. First game tipped off at 11.15, and my bracket was busted by 1.15. (20:56) Was it really? But, yeah. Doing good, huh? Well, there were a lot of upsets yesterday. Were there really? Mm-hmm. Okay, I missed all that. Yeah, 11th seeded Texas over 6th seeded BYU, 79-71. (21:15) 10th seeded A&M over St. Mary's, 63-50. That was a 10-7 upset. Overtime last night. Virginia Commonwealth, VCU, an overtime win over North Carolina, 11 over 6th seed, 82-78 in overtime. (21:34) So, a four-point win. What's wild is in the second half, North Carolina was up by 20 and blew the lead. Oh, boy. That hurts. Yeah, it's going to sting. Yeah, you think you got this one locked up, and then all of a sudden, that's why they play the game, though. (21:50) That's right. And that's why you play the full game. Right. Yeah, you don't call this thing halftime. Right. Because if that were the case, results would look a lot different most of the time. But, yeah, I would say, then you had St. Louis University, a 9 seed over Georgia, an 8 seed, which, you know, 8-9, that's a pretty even matchup. (22:13) Yeah. But it wasn't even close. I mean, St. Louis crushed Georgia 102-77. Oh, my gosh, yeah. Yeah. So, anyway, it was a fun first day of the round of 64. Second day, we'll be tipping off here in about four hours, actually. (22:31) Yeah, what are the big games today? Well, Florida and Alabama both play today. Okay. Obviously not each other. No, not each other. Bama plays at 2-15 this afternoon against 13th-seeded Hofstra. (22:47) Okay. And then tonight at 8-25 tonight, top-seeded Florida takes on 16th-seeded Prairie View A&M, a small school out of Texas. And we're going to carry both of those games play-by-play over on Sister Station, 103.7, the ticket. (23:09) Yeah. You know, it's great when you see the teams either unseeded or the ones that are way down in the lineup that come back and have a big win. I mean, you really feel good for them. Well, that's why, and even if you're, I mean, I know a lot of people that don't really follow a lot of college basketball, and they may follow their own team, but they will watch the tournament because the upsets are what makes the whole thing cool. (23:38) Right, right. And like I said, I love college football, but most of the time somebody ranked in the top six is going to win that national title. (23:54) Right. And, you know, usually in football it's the biggest, most physical teams in the trenches that come out with the win. Sure. And in basketball it's not always the biggest, most physical team. Smaller school, a low seed might just get hot from three. (24:12) Yeah. And so then that's how those upsets happen. So it is kind of cool to see little schools have their glory. Yeah, it's fun to watch. It makes the game interesting, that's for sure. Otherwise, I mean, if it wasn't for that, I think there wouldn't be a lot of incentive to watch it sometimes because you know the outcome. (24:32) Yeah, exactly. Right. Exactly. All right. Well, something else that's interesting is asking Uncle Tom for advice. Oh, yeah. And we've got that coming up in about 20 minutes. Fantastic. Are you ready? Oh, yeah, I'm ready. Yeah? (24:47) Yeah, I'm ready. Have you checked the inbox? Do we know what we're dealing with today? We do. Yeah, we do. And it's another domestic issue. So, yeah, we'll see how the advice comes out on this one. You're almost becoming a marriage counselor at this point, aren't you? (25:03) It certainly is easy. You know, you can reach back into your own personal little instances and things that have gone on and go, oh, yeah, okay, let's talk about that. I said this here and it didn't work. Yeah. (25:18) Trust me, I know. I've done that calm down thing. Never again. No. Left him with a red mark on his face. Yeah, yeah. It's 729 with the B Team Morning Show. Scatter Black and Tom Mason on a TGI Friday. Thanks for kicking off your weekend with us on 100.3 KROCK. (25:36) I don't know why, but all this music is speaking to us about asking who we are. What's your name? Well, it said little girl, so they were talking to you. No, they were talking to Jim. That's true. That's true. (25:51) Yeah, it was Jim. Mm-hmm. Yep. Directly to Jim. And then, you know, we started the 7 o'clock hour with Who Are You? Yeah. Great song, too. Yeah. You like that one? Yeah. Who Are You? Oh, that's your favorite. It's one of my favorites. (26:06) Yeah. What is your all-time favorite song? Oh, man, that's a tough one because it changes. I'm not one of those guys that just has a all-time favorite. I like a pretty big mix of music. It kind of depends on what color of underwear he's wearing for the day. That's very true. (26:21) Yeah, very true. Mm-hmm. You know, I used to be a huge Springsteen fan. Huge. I flew to California to go see him at the L.A. Coliseum. Did you really? Yeah, yeah. Not so much anymore. You know, he's kind of tainted it with his politics and stuff like that. (26:37) I still like his music. Led Zeppelin. Love Led Zeppelin. Pink Floyd. You know, a lot of the classics. See, that's the thing. I have noticed a trend here, especially with California natives. Pink Floyd and Zeppelin are always at the top of the list. (26:53) Yeah, yeah. I don't know. Is that a regional? Well, I guess they kind of got big out there, right, first? Well, yeah. I mean, to me they were, you know. I actually got to go see the premiere show of The Wall in Westwood, California, the movie, when it came out. (27:13) And, boy, that was an event. Were you token? I wasn't because I was actually in the Air Force at the time, so I couldn't. You were secondhand. But there was no way to go in that theater and not get a contact eye. No way you weren't getting a contact eye. (27:30) Yeah, I was pretty scared for the next few months about getting urinalysis. And if the outside LA smog didn't kill you, the smog inside could have done so. It was like a thick fog that you had to walk through. Getting in the theater was no avoiding it. (27:48) Was it a fun show? It was great, man. The band was there. Everybody was in pink. We were wearing pink togas. I mean, it was an event, yeah. It was definitely over the top. And they had a whole gala before the thing, and then the show, and then they had an after party and everything like that. (28:05) And we kind of hung out. We got to hang out for all that stuff. So, yeah, it was a good time. So would you do it again 50 years later? If we brought it back like they brought back Woodstock, we'll call it Wallstock? Absolutely. Yeah? Oh, I wouldn't miss it, yeah, for sure. All right. We can get that organized here. (28:20) We could do that. This whole radio station thing. Yeah, and I know a guy that could do the merch for it. Yeah, yeah. All the apparel. Shoot, we could nail this thing. We could. Wallstock. In Novar, Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach on 100.3 KROCK, the Classic Rock Station. (28:39) It's Friday morning. We appreciate you getting into another spring break weekend with us. Gorgeous weather in store, highs in the 70s all weekend long, and plenty of sunshine. More on that in just a bit. Plus, Dan Diamond has news just a few moments away, but the music in the background tells us only one thing. (28:58) It's time for your daily advice. Ask Uncle Tom. That's right. All stitched together by our friends, by Tomcat Custom Apparel, where the apparel is custom. That's right. The enthusiasm helps, doesn't it? It is. Yeah, it does. It really lends to it, yeah. (29:14) Can we get that, like, where the apparel is custom on your cards? We sure can. I know somebody. Do you? Yeah. You know a guy? I know a guy. I got a friend. I know a guy. All right. Well, today, Uncle Tom. (29:29) Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah. We hear from Rinse Cycle Bobby. Oh, yeah. And Rinse Cycle Bobby emails in and says, Dear Uncle Tom, I loaded the dishwasher like a responsible adult, but my wife immediately unloaded and reloaded it while making eye contact. (29:54) Was I helping or just committing a crime? Well, yeah, the dishwasher reorganization ceremony. Yep, a sacred ritual where a husband learns that while he may love the dishwasher, he does not truly understand the dishwasher. Ah, big difference. Very big. You see, in your mind, you accomplish the mission. Dishes inside, door closed, button pressed, victory. But to her, you created what experts referred to as plate Jenga. (30:29) Mm hmm. Bowls fraternizing with cups, forks, spoony knives, a rogue plastic lid lounging wherever it pleased. When she unloaded and reloaded it while holding steady eye contact, that wasn't anger. That was a silent TED talk titled Structural Integrity. Why you can't just toss things in there like it's a ceramic tumble dryer. Gotcha. (30:52) So, should you even try anymore? Absolutely. But understand this. Loading a dishwasher in marriage is not about efficiency. It's about alignment with the system. Every household has one. It was not written down. It will not be explained clearly. You will discover it only through correction. The goal is not to win. The goal is to get promoted from liability to trusted auxiliary loader. What a title. Keep trying. (31:22) Study the patterns. And whatever you do, do not ask, does it really matter? It matters. Oh, it matters. It matters. It matters. Big time. There's your advice this morning from the one and only Uncle Tom. Always here. That's right. Yeah. All right. We're the B Team Morning Show. Thanks for rocking with us on a TGI Friday. We're going to take a break, pay a couple bills. Dan Diamond has local news coming up next. And Journey, on your way after the break. (31:51) From the dubes. China, China, China, China, China. Just like President Trump says. It's the B Team Morning Show on a Friday. Schuyler Black and Tom Mason on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. And the B Team Morning Show is sponsored by our friends at Stripes Pub and Grill in Navarre, who still has those tickets for sticks and fog hat. They're going to be in Biloxi here in a few weeks. And you've got another 10 days to get out there and get registered. Stop by Stripes Pub and Grill in Navarre and get registered for that show. Sticks and fog hat in Biloxi around the 10th of April. Plus, our morning show today, also brought to you by Okaloosa Gas and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. (32:39) While you're at Stripes, grab some food. They've got some good food there. They have some great food. And if you go out there this weekend, inquire about their weekend specials. They actually put together a fantastic weekend special. You don't find it but a couple places in Navarre. And I know everybody's like, well, Stripes is a sports bar. Well, it is. But they actually put together some good culinary items. (33:08) They do, man. Presentation looks great. Food's great. Yeah. Holy cow. They've got some great food there. They certainly do. We've got another hour of stories to get to before we wrap up our work week here around 9 a.m. I will tell you, on the temperature front outside, it's slowly ticking up. We're at 52 right now. 75 this afternoon. 77 tomorrow and on Sunday. (33:32) But enough hot air for me. Tom's got a bag of wind to pass along to you this morning. This is a question posed to society. Why do men enjoy farting so much? Where did you find this? (33:47) Oh, yeah. For thousands of years, humans have laughed at the same simple joke. Farting. The humor... See? Look at us. I know. How dumb. Fart is never not funny. The humor goes all the way back to ancient Sumeria, where one of the earliest recorded jokes involved flashlights. (34:06) I emphasize recorded because I guarantee you the jokes were happening far before that. Modern psychologists say the reason many men still find it funny comes down to what's called the benign violation effect. A fart breaks social rules about manners but poses no real threat, so the brain quickly turns that moment of shock into laughter. (34:30) Studies have also found that people who pass gas loudly can be perceived as funnier, especially when it happens accidentally. Oh. That's the key word. Accidentally. Oops. Oops. I didn't mean for that to happen. (34:48) The humor fades, though, if it seems intentional or mean-spirited. That's for sure. Oh, my God. Yeah. I got a Facebook reel I got to show you here in a little bit. I don't know that I want to see it. Not with that devious laugh. (35:06) So, see? It still continues. It does. Still laughing about it. You're proving our point here. Right. So, anyway, research suggests boys often get positive reinforcement for this kind of humor early in life, and it can carry into adulthood. (35:22) In male friendships, crude jokes like this can even serve as a bonding signal, as we saw in the movie Blazing Saddles. Sitting around a campfire. Yeah. You got to be careful with that in fire. (35:39) Yeah, you do. Well, following that story, here's a song about wind. Jimi Hendrix, The Wind Cries Mary. It's a B Team morning show. Thanks for dealing with this on a Friday on 100.3 KROCK. (35:55) There's hearts. Who will you run to? This morning, you're running towards the B Team. There you go. They want us, Tom. Right. Well, they want us. Right. This is where you go. (36:11) All right. This is your destiny. Right. In the morning, you got to be here. Mm-hmm. It's payday. Yeah, it's payday. Why is that funny? What'd I say yesterday? My 42 cents or something like that? Yeah. Or no, that's what I owe you. Yeah. Well, the interest is 46 now. Okay. Well, we may have to set up an installment plan. (36:30) Penny a day. Right. It's a B Team morning show. Tom Mason. Tom still filleted for Bobby, who should be back sometime this year. Yeah. Whatever. Yeah. Not all of us can just take weeks-long vacation to Europe. (36:47) Right. Right. Weeks-long. Not week-long. Weeks. That's plural. It wasn't a three-day cruise or something like that. It was, yeah, a couple weeks. Oh, no, they did a three-day cruise within this weeks-long trail. That's right. Yeah. There was a cruise within the vacation. (37:04) Right, because you need a break from the vacation. Right. Jeez. Rich people problems. Yeah, I know. I know. God, how do I get in that boat? Yeah. Yeah. No pun intended. I want to be in that group of people. (37:20) Uh-huh. Yeah. You're hanging out with me. That's the first problem. Waiting for my paycheck so I can give you your 42 cents, 46 cents. Well, weren't you supposed to have somebody drop off a check to you at the shop yesterday or something? (37:36) Yeah, somebody was. But interestingly enough, they're not in town today. Huh. How does that figure? It's almost like they're avoiding you because they owe you money. It could be. Yeah. Noticing a trend here. Yeah. A little coincidental, I got to say. (37:52) Funny how that works. Speaking of money, the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office reports of another scam victim. Oh, bummer. Yeah. Authorities are currently investigating a cryptocurrency scam in which a resident lost more than $500,000 after being deceived by someone posing as an authorized representative of a well-known crypto exchange platform. (38:19) Wow. That's painful. Half a million. Hmm. According to the victim, the suspect convinced him to install an application on his computer after which he discovered that hundreds of thousands of dollars had been transferred from his accounts. (38:35) Oh, gosh. Sheriff's Office has since shared an infographic to help raise awareness about similar scams, and we'll get that posted on the show notes tab at thebteamshow.com. That way, you can keep up to date on everything that Tom and I have been talking about from holidays to, you know, wacky news, local news, local events, and more. (38:56) But half a million dollars. Ooh, man, that's got to be painful. And right now, your Emerald Coast Weekend weather forecast is sponsored by the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office. They're currently running an advertising campaign with us right now about beware of scams in this form. (39:15) Appropriate, but boy, that's terrible to hear. It's absolutely terrible to hear. So that just makes me sick to my stomach. Well, you know, in a lot of cases, you know, I'm not picking on the elderly. (39:30) I'm just saying a lot of times that's who they go after. They target the elderly. And, you know, for a lot of these people, this was everything they had. You know, this was their life savings. This was their retirement. And yet, you know, they may have other means and stuff like that. But still, sometimes this can be a big chunk of what they had saved up. (39:47) And now they either got to go back to work or find other ways of, you know, filling in the gap on some of that stuff. And it's terrible. Yeah, it is. It's awful. So I feel. 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. (40:04) 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. (40:34) 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. (41:04) 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station.

Stick tight, we'll get that full updated forecast for you here in about 30 minutes. And of course, a quick reminder, Florida and Alabama tip off in the round of 64 in the NCAA Tournament later on today. (43:11) Bama, 2.15, and Florida tonight around 8 p.m. We'll have both of those games play-by-play over on Sister Station 103.7, the ticket. Very cool. So, all right, well Tom, what do you have for us? So, first of all, I gotta give everybody out there a picture. (43:29) There's me sitting on one side of the table. I got an iPhone in my hand and a piece of paper sitting in front of me. Schuyler, on the other side of the table, he's got a mixing board in front of him and a monitor. To his right, he's got another monitor and a keyboard and a mouse. (43:44) And then to his left, he's got another keyboard and a mouse. It's just the difference between the two of us sitting here. He's busy clicking and pushing buttons and everything like that. I just sit here and watch. Tom, you've done a great job. Yeah. Just keep doing what you're doing. (44:00) That's all I gotta do, though, man. That's my job. You got one more week. Yeah. And you get to do this solo next Friday. Yeah, so figure it out, right? That's right, that's right. You better start watching a little closer. I'm just gonna push one button and that's it. It's gonna be done. (44:16) Forever. Right. The end. Yeah. So, the story I got is Chuck Norris, of all people, was rushed to the hospital yesterday. I saw that. Yeah. Actor and martial arts legend Chuck Norris was hospitalized in Hawaii after suffering an unspecified medical emergency. (44:34) The incident happened on the island of Kauai. While details about the cause haven't been released, sources say the 86-year-old is in good spirits and not in critical condition after the scare. All right. (44:49) Well, hopefully he's okay. Key up the Chuck Norris jokes, right? Yeah. Why doesn't Chuck Norris have hair on his manhood? Okay, why doesn't he have hair on his manhood? Because hair don't grow on steel. Okay. What do you got for Chuck Norris jokes? (45:06) Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door. Yeah. You know, where did this trend of all these Chuck Norris jokes stem from? I don't know, we should find that guy, though. (45:21) There's gotta be a guy that started it. Because that's been a thing for a long time. Oh, God, yeah, yeah. Since, I mean, since he was making movies back 20, 30 years ago. Yeah. Chuck Norris doesn't knock on doors. (45:37) Doors knock on Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris can clap with one hand. The other hand is just there for balance. Did you pull up a whole list of them? I did, man. (45:52) I know you did that. You were prepped. I gotta be prepped, yeah. You got all this. I know. I just have this. You have your one little screen. That's it, that's all I got. He's got his life in his hand right now. All right, one last tune, then we're getting out of here. (46:10) Here's the police. On 100.3 KROCK, good morning. There's the police on the classic rock station, 100.3 KROCK. Yeah. Hopefully you don't see any more police in your neighborhood today. (46:26) I hope not. Yeah. I hope it's kind of quiet. After they were, they were, they were surrounded by, your house was surrounded by, by cops. They thought you had a bomb. They didn't think I had a bomb. They thought there was a bomb near the house. (46:42) Just conveniently located near Tom's house. Like I said, I'm like, oh God, what did I leave laying out? Well, thankfully there was no bomb. Yeah. Yeah. Glad, glad for that. But you know, last weekend, there was that, that bomb threat out at the commons. (46:59) Oh, I know. I know. But that was a legitimate threat. This was just more of a suspicious package. Yeah. Yeah. So a little bit different, but yeah, there's nothing. I don't get why people do that, but they do. Well, there's, you know, there's enough sickos and weirdos in this world that you just always worry about that type of stuff. (47:22) Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Everybody's gone paranoid. Right. So. So really, I'm, I'll tell you what, I'm, I'm, I'm not paranoid. I'm, I'm excited for the weekend. Weather's going to be great. I'll be watching the NCAA tournament. I'll be grilling. Yeah. (47:38) Yeah. You got some, you got some food things going on this weekend, huh? Maybe. Some, would you do a crawfish boil, did you say? Maybe. I'd be okay with that. Maybe. Okay. I know you were talking about it. Well, that was, that was, I haven't heard anything about it since. Okay. (47:53) It wasn't going to be mine. Threw the idea out there and nobody took it and ran with it. Right. Exactly. Yeah. So just sitting here by myself. Well, that's the way you do it. You throw it out there and somebody else will execute. I'll just sit here and sulk. Don't be angry. (48:09) I'm not. I'm not. Don't be angry. All right. Don't be Bobby. Oh God. Don't be Bobby about this. I'm not that miserable. That's, that, rude of you to even suggest that. Shame on you, Tom. I hit a nerve, man. Let me call you Bobby and see how you like it. (48:28) Don't do it today. Okay. It's payday. Why not? That's right. Big paycheck today. I'm paying you back here. All right. I hope everybody has a safe and enjoyable weekend. Like I said, weather-wise is going to be great. May your back brackets all be busted. I really don't care. (48:43) As long as my team wins, I'll be good. That's it. It's all about me. All right. That's how the world works. Right. Hey, thanks to our sponsors, Stripes Pub and Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas at Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach.
