International Kissing Day & Meth-Fueled Mutilation: The Monday Nobody Asked For

(00:00) Here's today's B Team Redux. The Joker from Steve Miller on 100.3 KROCK. (00:43) That's right. The song made for my birthday. Well, it's made about you, that's for sure. That's right. Joker. The absolute birthday. 78 degrees and cloudy skies this morning here in Fort Walton. We've got some rain off in the Gulf right now. It's actually been thundering and lightning for the last couple of hours. (01:01) That's what woke me up about 3.30 this morning. Yeah, in rare form. Actually, right after I put the Jeep together yesterday is when it started thundering. Really? It never rained, but the thunder started rolling in after I got the whole thing back together. I'm like, hey, great timing. (01:17) I know. I was kind of hoping about 2 o'clock we'd have a nice little thunderstorm, but never got it here. Now, parts of Santa Rosa County got it. Actually, I think up by Niceville, they got some nice thundershowers yesterday afternoon. But right here in the flub, we didn't get jack. (01:38) We're going to see a 50% chance of thunderstorms across the area today. A high of 93, 94 tomorrow, and midweek Wednesday, 94 again. That full forecast coming up in just a little bit. We are the BT Morning Show. (01:53) Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell brought to you by our friends at Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. As we always like to open the show with a look at today's National Day calendar, we start out with International Kissing Day. (02:12) No. I'm just introducing it. Sure. That's all I'm doing. Don't look me in the eye when you say it. It's awkward. Yeah. It's just awkward. I'm just saying. International Kissing Day is that annual calendar prank where society pretends swap and spit is a, well, it's a noble tradition, instead of a public health gamble and good lighting. (02:33) Look, the rules are simple. You've got to pucker up, act sentimental, and ignore the part where everyone suddenly remembers personal boundaries exist about three seconds too late. Brands are going to try to sell you mints like they invented romance, and couples will use it as a performance review conducted in mouth noises. (02:53) You know, it's absurd. Really on purpose, if you think about it, which is perfect because nothing exposes human decision-making faster than a holiday that requires zero planning and maximum confidence. Okay. International Kissing Day. Now, that's something rather exciting. (03:09) Oh, yeah. I'm excited. Tell you what, we've got a lot to get to. Thankfully, we both have ten fingers still. Fireworks didn't take any of our digits. (03:24) Did they take anybody of somebody you know? Yeah, that's a good question. Boy, that was a 45-minute fireworks show too, by the way. It was. That was a good one. It was a hell of a show. But I needed a neck adjustment yesterday. Oh, that's where I was glad I had the zero-gravity chair. (03:39) I just rocked right back, and it was comfortable. I've been through one of those. Bobby's got a lot different paycheck than I do. He can buy those zero-gravity chairs. Yeah. Okay. Let's go with that. Alice Cooper in poison. It's Monday. Inject that poison into my veins. It's 100.3 KROCK. (03:55) NXS, new sensation. If you are feeling a new sensation on International Kissing Day, consult your medical professionals. (04:11) Good morning, everybody. It's the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Durrell. We've got overcast skies and rain in the area of South Okaloosa County. A high today of 93 degrees. Right now, taking a look at the radar, we've got some light rain all across our listening area. (04:31) I don't know if it's even reaching the ground, though, right now here in Fort Walton. You don't know if the rain is reaching the ground? Mm-hmm. Could just be on the radar. I'm not seeing anything outside right now. It's raining. (04:46) You just don't think it's reaching the ground? Mm-hmm. Okay. Yep. It's a real thing. Okay. Well, today it is virtually hug a virtual assistant day. Oh, God. Yeah. Yeah, because that's what we need to do is take an appliance and show it love. (05:06) Yuck. Virtually hug a virtual assistant day is, well, it's that special little holiday where we pretend a pixelated helper needs emotional closure from the same species that screams at printers and forgets its own passwords. Look, you hug your assistant by saying please, not calling it useless when it doesn't understand you mumbled chaos. (05:28) Or maybe, if you're feeling spiritually ambitious, thanking it like it's not trapped in an endless customer service shift with no break and no body. See, it's absurd, sure, but so is half your calendar, right? And all your group chats. (05:43) So don't act brand new. Consider it a low-stakes rehearsal for basic decency before the robots start keeping receipts. And that is called virtually hug a virtual assistant day. (05:58) Yeah, I mean, look, it's an important thing because when Google becomes self-aware and merges with Alexa and becomes Skynet, you're going to hate all these times you were mean. And this is about the lamest holiday I've ever heard. (06:13) I don't think so. I would never say that. I think virtually hug a virtual assistant day is an appropriate day. By the way, look up the word Virga. V-I-R-G-A. Why? That's the phenomenon of rain evaporating midair before it hits Earth's surface. (06:29) Yeah, sure. I still think you're full of it. It's a real thing. Why don't you text John Ferris and see if he knows what Virga is? He said it's made up. Yeah, well, I think you're full of it. He said it's the fibromyalgia of the rain. (06:44) Yes. What a fake thing that is. All right. The Who, ELO, and Queen all coming up on the B Team Morning Show. Turn the page. Bob Seger. And we've got rain now in Fort Walton. (07:01) Good morning, Emerald Coast. It's 641. This is the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. Hope everybody had a great Fourth of July weekend. We are going to be dealing with hot temps again this week here in northwest Florida. (07:19) Highs in the low to mid-90s the next several days. But we will have a chance of some on-and-off showers and thunderstorms like we are dealing with this morning here in the area the next 72 hours or so. So, full look at your forecast. It's coming up here in just a little while. (07:35) Plus, Dan Diamond will have local news before you know it as well. But we've got two more days to preview on the National Day calendar this morning. And Monday, July 6th happens to be Take Your Webmaster to Lunch Day. (07:50) Oh, so what? You think you're going to keep the website up by treating me to a sandwich? Well, it's worked so far. Yeah, well, let me tell you. Uptime doesn't run on mayo. Well, you don't have to use mayo. You can try something different. (08:05) Yeah, yeah. All right. I hear you. Hey, Take Your Webmaster to Lunch Day is that annual moment when the office remembers the website doesn't update itself. No matter how hard Brenda from Ideas stares at the monitor. You know, you buy the webmaster a sandwich and for one hour everyone pretends uptime is team sport and not a quiet miracle performed by a caffeine-fueled human who knows where the bodies are buried. (08:29) You know, and it's in the server logs, by the way. You know, look, it's not a thank you. It's a peace offering. A little ceremony to honor the person keeping your digital storefront from turning into a flaming yard sale. So keep it classy, pick a decent place, and maybe don't ask them to just add a quick feature between bites unless you're living dangerously. (08:51) It's amazing what a McDouble can make somebody do. Yeah. There you go. Take Your Webmaster to Lunch Day. Keep it cheap, though. Queen, this is Hammer to Fall. On the B Team Morning Show 100.3. (09:07) Don't get mad at me. Nothing but a good time was had this weekend celebrating America's 250th birthday. And, by the way, if you didn't get enough fireworks, there's going to be more fireworks out on the island at the pier and boardwalk on Wednesday night around 9 p.m. (09:25) So if you're looking for some more boom-boom action, you can find it out at the Okaloosa Island Pier Wednesday evening. Yeah, that's right. Every Wednesday this month, right? That's right. Yeah, and then every Thursday is luau nights. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. (09:40) So you can get your Hawaiian on. Mm-hmm. Yeah, because when everybody thinks of Florida, they think of luau. Well, yeah. Florida, Hawaii, they're like sister states. They're right next to each other. Uh-huh. That's what happened. Same time zone and everything. Same ocean. Right. (09:55) Same natives. That's right. Yeah, exactly. That's exciting. Exactly the same. It's a little known fact, but a lot of people from Florida founded Hawaii. And now we celebrate the national, or the big state food of Hawaii, Fried Chicken Day. (10:14) Exactly. It's why people in California celebrate all the Cubans. Because they're so close. National Fried Chicken Day is that annual moment when society stops pretending it has self-control and just admits it wants hot, crunchy happiness in a paper tray. (10:31) You know, nobody's honoring a saint here. We're honoring the sacred union of oil, seasoning, and bad decisions that somehow taste like summer and forgiveness. The rules are simple. Eat fried chicken, argue about who's is best, and quietly accept that your just one-piece plan has the structural integrity of a screen door in a hurricane. (10:53) So consider it a holiday for the honest among us. Because at least fried chicken never lied to you. It just showed up and told the truth loudly. National Fried Chicken Day, how about that? You know, I'm glad you said the word oil correctly. (11:10) My granddad, when he had his falsies in, oil became Earl. Earl. Earl. It's 6.53. Uh, nope. No? I didn't figure. Skinnered this morning. Sweet home Alabama. 100.3k rock. The Classic Rock Station. Good morning everybody. Hope you're off to a smooth start. Monday, July 6th. Seeing some rain across our listening area this morning right now outside. 80 degrees and a high today of 93. A full look at your forecast is coming up in just a little bit. I'm Schuyler Black. (11:49) He is Bobby Dewrell. The B Team Show, of course, brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. By the way, speaking of Stripes, I'm going to text Rob and see how the book signing went this weekend. Oh yeah. With author John Alvarez and his daughter Lisette over a walk, run, fly again. So, scary situation downtown Pensacola Saturday night. As folks should be out celebrating America 250, a 19-year-old man was killed and six others were injured in a shooting late Saturday night into early Sunday morning in downtown Pensacola. The shooting happened around 1.20 a.m. near the intersection of Palafox and Intendencia streets. The age range of the seven people shot were 16 to 26. The 19-year-old was pronounced dead on scene. Police Chief Eric Winstrom says six other victims are all hospitalized and expected to survive. Now, no arrests have been made in connection to the shooting, and police believe the shooting was a targeted act. According to Channel 3 WEAR, Chief Winstrom said earlier in the night large groups of unaccompanied young people, some as young as middle school, began causing disturbances downtown. This included small fights and fireworks being thrown, which resulted in multiple arrests. Now, around the time of the shooting, Chief Winstrom says hundreds of young adults were out in the area outside of the bars. Chief Winstrom and several extra other officers were downtown when the shots were fired. The chief said he ran to the scene to find the victims suffering from gunshot wounds. He said we had about 50 extra police officers down there. Even with that police presence, someone was still bold enough to commit this heinous act of violence. Now, there are no suspects at this time. Chief Winstrom and Pensacola PD say it's possible that there were multiple shooters. The investigation is ongoing. (13:57) A lot to get to this morning. Of course, Bobby's advice coming back from the weekend. We'll be here in about 40 minutes or so. Plus, we've got to look at your forecast in just a little bit as well. On the way at this set, Edward Winner Group. Oh, and Bon Jovi, by request, is coming up as well. How about that? (14:41) Oh, there you go. Uh-huh. Okay, Tay. That's right. Montrose. Bad motor scooter. It's a B Team morning show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell on 100.3 KROCK. Little bit rainy this morning. Seeing rain right now south of I-10 in Okaloosa and Walton counties in the southeastern corner of Santa Rosa County around Navarre. Also experiencing some rainfall. That should push out of here later on in the morning and lead way to nice muggy conditions this afternoon at a high of 93. Currently outside, it's 80 right now. (15:19) Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell. The B Team morning show is on the air, brought to you by our friends at Stripes Pub and Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Well, Bobby, I just found a story here a few minutes ago reported by MidBay News. I don't actually remember hearing about it after it happened. A 40-year-old Freeport woman was arrested after deputies say she battered her 71-year-old father during an alleged domestic disturbance and was later found in a bedroom with firearms despite being a convicted felon. (15:52) Now, according to an arrest report from the Walton County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to a home on Phillips Drive in Freeport back on June 19th after receiving a report of a domestic disturbance between Haley Smith, 40, and her father, David Smith, 71. When deputies arrived, David Smith met them near the front gate of the property and told deputies he did not need medical attention. According to the report, the altercation began over a jar of flowers. Investigators say David Smith took the jar into the bedroom and Haley followed him inside the bedroom. Deputies say Haley Smith struck her father in the ribs before jumping onto his back, twisting his neck, and biting the right side of his neck. (16:37) Deputies reported observing a red mark with broken skin on the victim's neck that was consistent with his account. While deputies were at the residence, David Smith reportedly told Haley Smith had locked herself inside a bedroom and refused to come out. He also advised deputies that there were firearms inside the room as well. Deputies made several attempts to persuade Smith to exit before ultimately making contact with her inside the bedroom, according to the report. Investigators say they found two rifles mounted on the wall within her reach. One rifle was loaded with a round chambered and three additional rounds in the mag, while the second rifle was unloaded. After being advised of her Miranda rights, Smith agreed to speak with deputies, according to the arrest report. She told investigators she knew the firearms were in the bedroom where she stayed with her father, but said the rifles actually belonged to him. A criminal history check revealed that Smith had previously been convicted in Walton County of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon back in 2015, making it illegal under Florida law for her to possess firearms or ammunition. Based on the investigation, deputies arrested Smith and charged her with battery of a person 65 years of age or older, and two counts of possession of a firearm or ammunition by a convicted Florida felon. (18:05) We'll get to that here in just a bit. Motley Crue, Rainbow and Bad Company all on the way right here on 100.3 KROCK. Bad Company. Feel like making love. It all started with International Kissing Day this morning. It's the BT morning show on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station just a few minutes out from Ask Uncle Bobby this morning. That is coming up here in just a few minutes. I'm Schuyler Black. He is Bobby Dewrell. Quick story for you, though. A Delta flight from Atlanta was struck by a firework mortar as it was landing at Chicago's Midway Airport Saturday night. The pilot calmly radioed air traffic control and said, Tower, we just had a firework hit our plane. Delta 1076, we're continuing. Now, the crew later reported hearing a loud bang and believed it was a firework exploding underneath the aircraft. (19:25) The plane landed safely with no injuries and officials say the firework caused some minor paint damage and the aircraft is currently being inspected. But, yeah, one thing to think about if you live near an airport, watch where you're shooting off those fireworks. All right, your daily advice is coming up from Uncle Bobby in just a few minutes. Plus, Dan Diamond has local news on the way in the next 10. Here's the romantics talking in your sleep on the classic rock station, 100.3 KROCK. (19:58) His wisdom are going to be coming out here in just a moment. It's 747. This is the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. And yes, the music in the background tells us it's time for one thing. Ask Uncle Bobby. We do it every morning around 745, stitched together byTomCat Custom Apparel. (20:24) That's right. Hey, if you've ever tried to keep thirsty kids together wearing whatever they found in the dresser, well, you've already earned byTomCat's phone number. Say that again? You know, you ever tried to keep thirsty kids together? Thirsty kids together? (20:39) Yeah, by whatever they found in the dresser. So, you know, we've got, it's that time of year that it's family reunions, summer camps, all those types of things where you're trying to keep thirsty kids together. Oh, okay. Gee, Schuyler, you got to pay attention. Yeah, got it. Heard you. Well, today, Uncle Bobby, you hear from pager alert Phil. (20:58) Dear Uncle Bobby, my boss expects me to answer emails almost instantly, and it feels like he's monitoring my every second. How do I push back without getting fired? Look, your boss doesn't want an employee, okay? He wants a human receipt. You know, a warm-bodied read notification with fingernails, and if you answer in seconds, well, you're not being efficient. (21:27) You're training him like a casino trains gamblers. See, ding, reward, ding, reward. See, next thing you know, he's slapping the inbox lever at 1147 p.m. like it owes him money. So here's how you push back, okay? You got to turn the inbox into weather. Unpredictable, unapologetic, just a force of nature. (21:50) See, you stop being a vending machine and become a horizon. Some days the response is fast. Some days it shows up like a wandering comet with a polite subject line and an energy of a man who, well, has been outside. And you do it with art, okay? You schedule replies for inconveniently perfect times, not late enough to be insubordinate, just late enough to make him feel the first tremor of mortality. (22:19) See, you throw in a tasteful, maybe harmless reply all once in a while, okay? The kind that, you know, makes everyone blink and wonder who else is watching. You got to BCC like a ghost. Nothing legal, right? Nothing dramatic, just enough invisible audience to make the micromanager start combing through his own hair differently, okay? (22:43) Now, the goal is to not get caught. The goal is to make instant expectation feel expensive. Because every time he demands a two-second email, he's telling you your life is a loading screen. Your job is to introduce friction, quietly, consistently, like sand in the gears of a tiny, needy little empire, okay? (23:09) Eventually, he'll learn the sacred truth of management. If you want control, you pay for it. If you want speed, you lose the illusion that you own people. And if he can't handle that, well, congratulations. You just discovered your boss is allergic to reality. (23:28) I'm not sure if the boss here is a he. I think this is Phil asking about how to deal with Deanna. You're a brave man. Brave man. There you go. Pager alert, Phil. There's your response this morning, and your advice. (23:48) Now, remember, you can find all the past Uncle Bobby episodes online at TheBTeamShow.com or on DewBob.com, where you can find your very own DewBob merch to sport all summer long. That's right. Of course, ask Uncle Bobby weekday mornings at 745 on The B Team Morning Show is all stitched together byTomCat Custom Apparel. (24:09) TomCat Custom Apparel, where the apparel is made custom for you. Steely Dan in my old school on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. Speaking of my old school, former Choctaw alum Aaron Deal will be returning to his old school, Choctaw, this weekend for a free youth football camp, along with some of his former Gators teammates. (24:37) This Saturday at Choctaw for kids aged 6 to 12, a group of former University of Florida football players will bring their annual summer camp to Fort Walton Beach this week. And for Aaron Deal, it's a homecoming. The third annual Florida Community Football Camp will be held July 11th at Joe Etheridge Stadium at Choctaw High School. (24:58) Deal, who played at Choctaw before going on to play at Florida, is this year's host. The camp rotates each year to the hometown of a different former Gator. So if your kid is interested, the camp runs from 9 till noon this Saturday. (25:13) And for more information, you can visit floridacommunityfootballcamp.org or you can find the link on the show notes tab at our website, thebteamshow.com. But that is coming up this weekend. In other news, Bobby. (25:29) Yes. Paul Pelosi, the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is being investigated after authorities say he struck a parked vehicle in Yountville, California and left the scene before deputies located his damaged car nearby. According to the officials, the 86-year-old acknowledged that he realized he had hit something but was uncertain what it was and just continued on driving. (25:52) Investigators found no evidence that alcohol played a role and while no criminal charges were filed, the case has been referred to the California Department of Motor Vehicles for a routine age-related driver evaluation. A spokesperson for the Pelosi family said he has apologized to the vehicle's owner and intends to pay for the repairs. (26:12) Off of Nancy's trading. Well, there you go. I'm glad it's coming in use somehow. It's the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell on a Monday. Hoping everybody had a great Fourth of July holiday weekend. Final hour of the show this morning brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre. (26:30) Okaloosa Gas at Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. You got any stories you're wanting to get to here? No, I haven't found anything and that's honestly probably what I want to gripe about, but I'm going to hold back for now. (26:45) Can't find nothing at all? Well, you know, it just sure would be nice if we lived in the sunshine. Enough said. Here's Led Zeppelin. There's the Eagles in Hotel California. (27:00) What other .3K rock? The classic rock stations Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell on the air this Monday morning following America's big 250th birthday. And speaking of the 250th birthday, competitors gathered down in Key West over the Fourth of July weekend to take part in the annual World Famous Key Lime Pie Eating Championship. (27:24) One of the signature events of the Key Lime Festival. The hands-free contest challenged 24 participants to devour an entire 9-inch Key Lime Pie as quickly as possible, delighting spectators with plenty of messy fun. Organizers say the light-hearted competition celebrates the island's famous dessert and its local heritage, while this year's winner credited a unique eating strategy for securing the championship in the festive holiday tradition. (27:52) So, I do enjoy a good slice of Key Lime Pie, and I would be lying if I said I didn't have a slice last night. Yeah, yeah. I figured you had banana pudding. That was lunch. Banana pudding was lunch. Yeah, yeah. (28:07) Tay came over and sold y'all out. Said, y'all just got two spoons and sat there with a big bowl. It was good. So, Kathy, I need some more now. Hey, we're going to take a break, pay a couple bills. Lots of local events coming up this week. (28:23) Of course, Bobby and I are going to be out at First Friday Coffee this Friday from 7 till 9, broadcasting live. Should be a lot of fun. We'll be chatting with local civic leaders, nonprofits, business owners, and more. And if you are a chamber member, make sure you mark your calendars to be there on Friday morning. (28:42) If not, make sure you join us right here on 100.3 KROCK for all the fun. We'll take a break. A quick look at your forecast is coming up. Abacab from Genesis, Def Leppard's photograph, and Journey all on the way on the Classic Rock Station, 100.3 KROCK. (28:59) I'm Omni Broadcasting Meteorologist Jennifer Wojcicki with your updated forecast. This one comes out of L.A. A disturbing new coroner's report says a 31-year-old Los Angeles man had an extreme and potentially lethal amount of methamphetamine in his system before fatally injuring himself back in March. (29:23) Investigators say that Ryan Dexter Sutherland stabbed himself more than 20 times, then cut off his own penis, slashed his throat, and tried to cut off his arm before bleeding to death. (29:38) Jeez, repeat. That's certainly some issues there. Yeah, this all happened at a 7-Eleven. The report says the drugs did not officially cause his death, but toxicology found an extreme amount of meth in his system. (29:55) Family members told investigators he had struggled with drug addiction. Had never previously threatened or attempted suicide, but good lord. The amount of, how high would you have to be to endure that and continue going on? (30:13) God almighty. That's awful. I almost want to hurl at this point. Good lord. Hey, there's lots of local events going on. If you're sitting at home and thinking, where can we go to keep the kids cool but get them out of the house? (30:32) There's tons of different places you could think about, but the Emerald Coast Science Center has their planetarium open all summer long, through August 7th, daily. Tickets to get into the Science Center are online. You can buy them in advance, and we've got the link to do so at thebteamshow.com. (30:50) Also this week, Bobby, out at the Golfarium on the Island, it's Shark Week at the Golfarium. You've got a full lineup of interactive experiences and educational fun for all ages, where guests can enjoy shark-themed activities, including learning more about shark conservation through hands-on programs, and take part in special events like shark feedings, behind-the-scenes experiences, and unique evening programs. (31:17) So if you're interested in either of those local activities, educational opportunities, and ways to get the kids out of the house this week, we've got them for you on the events tab at thebteamshow.com. All right, two more songs, and then we're getting out of here. (31:35) I'm Schuyler Black, he's Bobby Dewrell. It's Monday, you're rocking with the B Team, coming back after the Fourth of July holiday. It's 100.3 KROCK. B Team Morning Show, wrapping things up. Of course, we've got the Encore Hour coming up here in just a little bit, but for the show itself, the longer bits, that's going to do it for this day, this Monday, back after the holiday weekend. (32:01) You know what? Of all Mondays I've ever had, this one was probably towards the top. Yeah. Yeah. And that's not saying a lot. Yeah, but it's saying something. It's saying something. It's saying something. We're starting out the week on the right foot. I want to thank you all for dialing in and spending the start of the work week with us. (32:18) Hopefully everybody's, well, probably not super well-rested after the fun this weekend, but hopefully it's a good Monday for the rest of you out there. I want to thank our sponsors, including Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas at Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. (32:34) Until tomorrow, I'm Schuyler Black, Bobby Dewrell. Get us on out. Hey folks, thanks for joining the B Team Morning Show, your leading alternative to quality programming right here on the Emerald Coast. Now, we know you have a choice in what you listen to each and every day, and we appreciate the fact that you settled in on this wild ride that we call a morning show, but it's come that time of day, we got to mosey on out of here. (32:52) So you keep on rocking, keep on rolling, never settle for the ordinary. Till the next time, the B Team. And that's a wrap on today's B Team Redux.
