International Waffle Day: When Slow-Moving Sea Potatoes, Pecan Pie, and a Jeep Breakdown Bring Bobby Back to Reality

(00:01) Here's today's B Team Redux. There's Skinner. Call me the Breeze on the classic rock station, 100.3 KROCK. Good morning, everybody. Hope Day Wednesday. How you doing? I'm Schuyler Black. He is Tom Mason. You almost did it, man. You almost did it. I know. (00:16) I know. You're prepping. I know. I know. You're prepping. Yeah. I had to bite my tongue. One or two more days. We're not sure. I don't know. Yeah. Who knows? It could be Monday. Maybe they didn't have enough money in the budget to get that final leg of the flight. (00:35) That could have happened. Yeah. We know. He was talking. He was complaining about leg room yesterday. So he'll have a whole string of kids behind him trying to keep them off the highway as he meanders back from Atlanta. This could be. (00:50) Yeah. Herding cats. Literally. And we know how patient he is. Yeah. Yeah. The patience of a saint. Always a positive attitude. Always a great outlook on everything. So who are we talking about? Yeah. I don't. Are we talking about Bobby or Job? Yeah. (01:05) We're not talking about Bobby. No. Let's be real. Yeah. Pretending that guy has patience is asinine. Right. It's Wednesday morning. Schuyler Black, Tom Mason, the BT Morning Show brought to you by Stripes Pub and Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi in Miramar. We'll see you next time. and listen to it on demand, all at thebteamshow.com, powered by Frank and Karen's podcast, The Lone Depot in Fort Walton Beach. (01:47) Well, Tom, on the National Day calendar, it's Pecan Day today. Yeah. Pecan Day. Wow. That's an interesting one. Pecan Day is that one glorious occasion when we all of a sudden become amateur nut historians, loudly insisting we've always loved pecans, especially when they're buried under sugar, butter, and denial in a pile. (02:09) Pie. Pile. Pie. It's a celebration of pretending pecan pie counts as a nut-based health food, arguing over the correct pronunciation like it's a personality trait, and briefly acknowledging that the humble pecan tree, wait a minute, briefly acknowledging the humble pecan tree before returning to our regularly scheduled diet of snacks that required significant less shelling and self-reflection. (02:37) That was tough to get out. Man. I struggled with that one. You were really struggling. This early in the morning stuff, man, I tell you. And have another sip of coffee. Maybe we should read those first before reading them on air, huh? Yeah, it's Pecan Day. (02:53) I like pecans. Do you? I like candied pecans. Yes. No, I like pecan pie. I like sugar. Yeah. Great way to put it. All right. (03:09) Foreigner double vision. This is Sammy Hagar. I Can Drive 55 on 100.3k Rock. The Classic Rock Station. Oh, boy. I can only imagine. We'll get to it in just a minute. Yeah. By the way, Schuyler Black and Tom Mason this Wednesday morning. (03:25) A high today of 73. It's going to be the coolest day of the week. We'll check that full forecast in just a little bit. I want to remind you, coming up Saturday, April 18th, is the Care on the Coast Turtle Fest at the Gulfarium out on the Okaloosa Island. (03:41) It starts at 3 p.m. Tickets are on sale now. And it all benefits the, yeah, care for the turtles. Cool. So learn more online on the events tab at thebteamshow.com. But also speaking of other sea life, it's Manatee Appreciation Day today. (04:00) Yes, it is. Manatee Appreciation Day is that magical time of the year when humans collectively remember that the ocean's most polite, slow-moving potatoes. Is that what you were giggling about? That's what I was laughing about. (04:15) Also known as manatees exist and deserve at least one full day of admiration before we go back to ignoring no-wake zones and Googling, is a manatee a whale or a cow? They do look like potatoes with fins. (04:30) They do. That's why it was so funny. It's celebrated by posting blurry vacation photos declaring them sea angels and briefly pretending we wouldn't absolutely lose a race against one, all while the manatee themselves continue their daily agenda of floating, munching, and minding their business better than we ever do. (04:51) That was pretty good. That was pretty funny. Slow-moving potatoes. Yeah. I like that. That's a great definition. I didn't know potatoes could move. They can. They swim. They swim. It's the BT Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Tom Mason brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre. (05:08) Okaloosa Gas at Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach on 100.3k Rock. A quick break in more classic rock with a look at your marine forecast is coming up next. There's more here. Hart and straight on to Waffle House today. There you go. (05:23) I was going to say, we've got to get some Waffle House now. Yeah. Actually, I'd rather support local. Ricky over at Neighborhood Cafe, if you are listening this morning, Tom and I, we wouldn't pass up the opportunity of some waffles and some breakfast this morning. (05:38) No, man. Them's some good stuff. Yeah. Hey, Ricky. Hey, Ricky. Especially since it is Waffle Day. I mean, it would only be fitting. It is International Waffle Day. International Waffle Day is the annual excuse to celebrate the crispy grid pattern masterpiece known as the waffle. (05:55) A breakfast item so structurally sound it doubles as a syrup delivery system and emotional support carb. It's a day when people suddenly become waffle purists debating toppings like it's high cuisine while piling on whipped cream, chocolate chips and anything else within reach. (06:12) All in the name of tradition. Before returning to their usual routine of pretending frozen waffles are just as good and totally not a cry for help. Oh, come on now. Yeah. Vegos will never do it. No, it's got to be. (06:27) I mean, there are times, but no, you got to have real waffles. And I'm a purist, man. My waffles, syrup and butter and that's it. Maybe a little powdered sugar. Yeah, I'm good with the syrup and butter too. Yeah, I don't load up all the fruits and chocolate chips and whipped cream and all that stuff. (06:46) Yeah. If that's your thing, okay. But I don't think you're right. I mean, you could throw pecans in there because it's, you know, pecan day. You could do that. Right. And then another reason to say I like pecans. Yeah, you could do that. I don't know though, man. (07:01) I like just a waffle. Waffle, syrup and butter, man. I'm good. Pensacola Mardi Gras weekend. We stayed out at that, I think it was Hampton Inn out there on Pensacola Beach. Yeah. And that was the coolest thing is I love those hotels that have the breakfast where you can fix your own Belgian waffle. (07:21) Yeah, continental breakfast. Now, we've got a waffle maker at home. Yeah. But we never use it because it's a pain in the ass to clean. Exactly. You know, when you go to a hotel, at least you're not the one that has to clean those things and wash them. (07:39) But they're making the batter, cleaning the damn iron. I mean, it's just a pain in the neck. And then you look in there and you see where the last person didn't quite clean it and you're going, oh, how long has that been in there? Yeah. I've got to get that out of there before I make my waffle. (07:55) Exactly. You don't even know what it is. Right. It's a mystery. And if you try to prep by putting nonstick spray, you pretty much got to spray the kitchen down. Yep. You know, because you've got to get it everywhere. Yep. So. (08:10) Just do the hotel waffles. Yeah, it's a lot of work. Yeah. Head over and get you some waffles from a buddy over there. Yeah. Neighborhood Cafe. Ricky, we're hungry. Yeah. Fix it up, man. All right. It's a BT Morning Show. (08:25) Rocking and rolling on this Wednesday morning here at Supertramp on 100.3 KROCK. Billy Idol dancing with myself on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. Schuyler Black and Tom Mason on a Wednesday morning. (08:40) Don't forget our annual ride for the Arc of the Emerald Coast poker run. It's coming up on Saturday at the Niceville American Legion. $15 per rider, $10 per passenger. Cars are welcome, too. Registration starts at 9. (08:55) Kickstand's up at 10.30. All bikes back by no later than 4 p.m. Of course, this ride sponsored by our friends at Florida Power & Light and Eglin Federal Credit Union. You can learn more on the events tab at krockfwb.com. (09:10) By the way, we're going to get to that last holiday in just a moment, but I do want to let everybody know and say that Larry Hipstead got back to us. Oh, did he? On that discussion we had yesterday regarding the squatters' rights. Yeah. Yeah. (09:25) So the scoop, he said the scoop is exactly as you described it. fraudulent documents forged, and they present them as if you know, hey, here's what I signed. So, you know, this is the person. This is the money. They've got all the documentation, of course, and it's just fraud. (09:42) And police officers, sheriffs, they can't make a determination of that on their own. And I'm sure there are some departments that are probably more forceful with it than others. But most of them will just have other hands, you know, handle this as a civil matter. (09:57) Yeah. And say, you're going to have to resolve this in court. It is a bummer, but anyway, thanks Larry for getting back to us on that. Yeah, it's good. Good to hear. Alright, on the National Day calendar, the last one we have to reveal today. (10:12) Yeah, Little Red Wagon Day. Oh man, you know, and I was thinking as you were talking about the ride coming up for the Arc of the Emerald Coast, about, yeah, your Little Red Wagon not what you want to be driving around during one of these poker runs and all that stuff. (10:29) But it would be fun. No. Yeah, Little Red Wagon Day is a heartfelt tribute to the iconic Radio Flyer Wagon, that beloved childhood vehicle responsible for hauling everything from stuffed animals to questionable sidewalk treasures, now remembered mainly through nostalgic sighs and the faint memory of someone definitely getting pulled uphill against their will. (10:52) It's a day for adults to romanticize simpler times while conveniently forgetting the splinters, sibling arguments over whose turn it was, and the wagon's shocking tendency to become a runaway hazard the second gravity entered the chat. (11:07) Little Red Wagon Day. Everybody had one. Yeah, how many times did you or your little brother or you let your little brother head down the street on the wagon knowing it was going to end in a catastrophe? Never. Never. (11:22) I was an only child. Oh, well. Well, let me tell you how many times my little brothers found out what gravity was. Was it funny to watch? Oh, God, yeah. I remember watching them go going, nothing good's going to come out of this. (11:41) Yeah, kind of like the idiots that ride a grocery cart down a hill. Yeah. It's not going to end well. Same idiots, just usually 15 years older. Right. Yeah. All right, we're minutes away from 7 o'clock. Dan Diamond's got news on the way for you as well. It's the BT Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. (12:00) 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. Good morning, everybody. It's Wednesday. It is Wednesday, and amazingly, I hear somebody's back in town. I heard that he is back in town, but it's all he can do to try to get his truck running. (12:20) What a thing to come back to, man. Damn. Well, you know, when you take a two-week vacation, you can't have all that fun and then not run into some sort of headache. Right. (12:35) Something's got to ground you, bring you back to reality. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. You take a two-week international trip. Yeah. Everything goes flawless there. I'm sure it did. Yeah. Stress-free, a blast, total fun, relaxing. Nothing but relaxation, drinks on the beach, and oh, wait a minute. (12:53) Yeah, he was with kids. Oh. Well, they were babysitting him. Go get me another drink. Why not? It's legal over there. My umbrella is closed. (13:11) Pay attention. 64 degrees in overcast skies here in Fort Walton this morning, a high today of 74 degrees. And the rest of the week looks quite nice. Sunshine 78 tomorrow, Friday sunny and 80, and low 80s through the weekend. (13:30) So, yeah, beautiful, beautiful weather in store. We'll check your full forecast here in just a little while. Plus, Sherry from One Hopeful Place is going to be joining us on the air here in about 15 minutes to talk about their upcoming fish fry, fried for a cause, third annual event happening at Eliza Jackson Park next month on Friday, April 17th. (13:52) So, we'll get to that in just a little while. Man, it was a rough return to school at Walton Middle School in Diffuniac yesterday. Yeah, we talked about that on the air a little bit when they announced the school closure, and it turns out it was a pretty big deal. (14:08) Yeah. Yeah, details came out later on in the morning, but on the first day back from spring break, Walton Middle School up in Diffuniac was shaken by a violent incident when a seventh-grade student stabbed two classmates and an adult paraprofessional around 720 in the morning, leaving students in critical condition and the adult with non-life-threatening injuries. (14:31) The suspect is in custody. Now, neighbors described the school as typically peaceful, making the chaotic scene filled with deputies, paramedics, and even a medical helicopter especially shocking. With many students arriving, the district redirected buses to the Walton County Fairgrounds for reunification, which officials say went smoothly despite the circumstances. (14:53) So, what a scary situation up there in Diffuniac. A seventh-grader. I know. A 12-year-old, 13-year-old kid. Yeah, you know, I mean, even today, you know, you just don't expect stuff like that to happen, and as always, you're surprised when it happens here locally. (15:12) Exactly. You know, but hopefully, you know, everything turns out well for the two in critical and then the third as well. No long-lasting effects. Yeah, especially in Diffuniac. Right. Small, rural town of 6,000 people. (15:28) Yeah, yeah, it's not a big place. You just don't expect something like that to happen in an area like that. No, you don't. No, you don't. So, anyway, thoughts and prayers with all the families affected by that right now because that's certainly a scary situation. But sounds like they're all back and going to go back to class today. (15:47) Good. So, hopefully, I'll return to normalcy, you know, following spring break and then you come back your first day after spring break and that all happens. So, hopefully, those kids get a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday with some normalcy and trying to get back into the swing of things here pretty quick. (16:03) All right, we are the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Tom Mason on the air. Maybe Bobby will show up. Maybe he won't. I don't know. Yeah, we'll see. You know, if he gets here, then great. He's not getting this chair today. No. It's not happening. There's a barstool there. (16:18) Yeah, that's where he'll be, you know. Get him a job. I'm going to hold on for one more day. You should. White-knuckle that chair. Barstool. He could be the barstool sports guy. You think? (16:34) Yeah. Yeah. He's got the right grumpy mentality for it. He can't have this chair because if he sits in it anyway, he's going to get mad because it continually drops to the floor. He wants you to get low. Yeah, there's no sense in aggravating him any more than he already is. (16:51) He's angry? Well, he's got that whole truck thing going on, wouldn't you be? Well, it might be a little irritating. It's a Jeep thing. Yeah. It's a Jeep thing. We wouldn't understand. Right. (17:06) Ducks and bunnies. That's right. Throw another duck on the dash. 100.3 KROCK, the Classic Rock Station. Good morning, everybody. Hope you're doing well. I'm Schuyler Black, and we were hoping to see her last week, but she's here now, Sherry Jones, with One Hopeful Place. (17:22) Good morning. How are you? Good morning. I'm doing great. Thank you. I'm glad you could make it in today. Thank you. Yeah. You seem nervous. No, I'm good. I'm excited about the fish fry. You're excited about the fish fry. I am. That's what we're here to talk about this morning. (17:37) You've got your third annual Frying It for a Cause fish fry fundraiser. That's right, for One Hopeful Place. Yes. Now, this started two years ago? Three. Three years ago. Three years ago. Yeah. Okay. The event is on Friday, April 17th, so that is going to be three weeks from this Friday. (17:55) Right. And tickets are on sale now. $20 per meal includes fish, hush puppies, and fries, and of course it's catered by Dewey Destin's. But continuing to do this year in, year out, it must be a pretty good event for you. (18:11) It is. It supports our mission, you know, providing services for those in need here in our community. We serve Okaloosa and Walton County. We have, you know, 50 men beds and 17 beds for ladies. (18:26) And we have a cold night shelter. Of course, you're aware of the cold snaps we've had this time. This winter's been pretty cold. The last two winters, I don't know why, but we've had some colder weather. We have. We have. (18:41) Snow? Two years in a row? We call that snowmageddon when we had it like 10 days in a row last year. Yeah. A lot of fun. But we provide 48 additional beds for cold night shelter when the weather's 40 degrees or lower. And we have the day program on Tuesdays and Thursdays. (18:58) So what is the day program? That means that anyone in our community that needs hot meals would like to take a break. You know, have a rest, come in, take a shower, and just relax and get some resource information for if they need to get on their social security or their driver's license reinstated. (19:18) We have case managers on the campus that help with that. Okay. So we provide those services for anyone that comes through the campus. And the campus that you guys have is out there past on the Lewis Turner Extension, right? Right. (19:33) Yeah. So what does the campus look like? Because I haven't been out there before. I need to go out and check it out. Yes, you do. And I'll give you a tour myself. We're actually going to be opening up a free clinic, a health clinic, for our community. (19:49) So that's coming up. That's exciting news. All right. That's exciting. Yeah. And so we have the ladies' shelter. We have the men's shelter. We have the cold night shelter. Basically, when you pull in... And it's it is like a campus. You know, it's not like a one or two buildings. We have it also free, I mean car park. So if you're living in your car, those that you know, either choose to or you know, don't have another choice don't want to come into the shelter. We have a free car park where they are not disturbed, you know, in their car. (20:20) Okay, so it's just a all around good organization. And it helps out some of the most vulnerable here in the area, serving Okaloosa and Walton counties, right? And how long have you been with One Hopeful Place? I've been with One Hopeful Place four years, and we've been in operation for about 10. So I look forward to it. I love my job. I love doing what I'm doing. And I firmly believe in the mission of helping those that are without homes or need, you know, resources. You know, sometimes during the cold snaps, when they come in for the cold night shelter, it's not just those that are homeless, we do have those in community that don't have heat, or need some hot meals and need to take a shower. (21:03) So we do help those folks to and the fish fry that's coming up in three weeks is is going to support all of those different programs that One Hopeful Place offers. That's right. That's right. Yes, we do. We do need the community's support for this to keep it going. Because we do rely on our donations, and we do grants. So the generosity, our community is amazing. Yes, it is. It is a very generous community. I completely agree with that. (21:29) Yeah. So anyone can get tickets from me. Or you can come by the greater chamber for Walton Beach chamber and ask for Sherry and I'll be more than happy to help you get a ticket or tickets. You know those we had businesses that bought several tickets, like 10 tickets at a time for their employees. And that's a great idea. Yeah, one person can come through and pick up the meals and then take it back to the office and everybody has lunch. (21:56) Yeah, that's a great idea. And you're and you're supporting a good cause at the same time. That's right. Right. You're taking care of the lunch issue. And yeah, making a difference to absolutely, or they can go on our website to get tickets. Or you can call me. And you can go on the website, and you'll see my email address, you can email me. So there's several ways of getting the tickets. And we sure hope everyone will come out and help support us.

Yes, thank you so much for that. And then you can, you know, stay in chat, if you'd like, you can come sit under the pavilion. Or if you would like to just move on and get back to work or on your day, you can pull on through and go on, go on what you got to do. (23:30) Yeah, you've got a great setup going on over there. I've seen it the last couple years. It's super easy. Get in, get out, get your food and either hang around the park and enjoy it or take it back to the office with you. But I think this, this will be the third year I've gone to us all three years. Yes. And they do a good job. (23:49) Because you've got a well oiled machine over there. Well, thank you so much for that. And I do want to give a big thank you to our generous sponsors. We have quite a few title sponsors from the Beachworks, Innovative Coworking Spaces here in Fort Walton, Jobs Willie LLC, they've been amazing. And Emerald Coast Association of Realtors. (24:15) Cool. And for some supporting sponsors, Eglin Federal Credit Union, they always come through to help our cause. And Loan Depot, the Bennett team. They are amazing. They have come three years for us. And we so much appreciate everyone's support. We really do. (24:32) Yeah, Frank and Karen know I love them. Yes, I do, too. But it's going to be a great event.

More Classic Rock is on the way right after this on 100.3 KROCK. (25:18) Morning. How you doing? I'm good, man. Yeah. Yeah, I'm doing good. Sort of a beautiful day out. It's not sunny. I know. I was gonna say, where'd the sunshine go? You know, I looked at the forecast. You were talking about looking at the long term. I didn't see any rain anywhere out there at all. So the clouds are kind of confusing. (25:38) They are a little bit, but it does look like this afternoon, you're going to see the cloud cover burn off. Okay. 74 the high, mostly sunny after lunch today. Okay. So should turn out to be fairly nice. And then it'll gradually warm up to the low 80s by the end of the week. (25:56) So we'll check your full forecast in just a bit. Plus, ask Uncle Tom in the next 10. Coming up soon. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's some good advice today. Yeah. Well, it's good advice every day. Well, it's, you know, the question was good. It's real. The question is real. (26:12) Everyone can relate to it. Exactly. Yeah. What are we at? Like 10 days out from Easter right now? Yeah, that sounds about correct. Right? Yeah. There's a story this morning that say Easter prices have skyrocketed since 2020. (26:30) Now, how is that? Because the cost of eggs has gone down. Yeah. Right. So well, Easter candy prices. Okay. Okay. All right. They've surged dramatically in recent years, rising 67% in the last six years. Okay. Even though overall candy spending has only increased about 15%, meaning families are paying significantly more for the same amount of treats. (26:53) Now, a family of four that once spent about $93 on Easter candy. That seems like a lot. Wow. What kind of Easter candy are you buying? My gosh. It's like gold inside each egg. It's not candy corn. No kidding. $93 on Easter candy is what they used to spend. (27:11) Need roughly $155 for the same haul. How about just cut that at least in half? Yeah. Because you'll probably save a lot of money at the dentist in years to come, too. Exactly. So now we got dentist mad at us. Exactly. (27:26) I know. This story is sponsored by Dr. Dentist. Dr. Dentist. Yeah. Dr. Dentist. He's not our friend. No, he's not. Popular items like Reese's eggs, Canberry eggs, and Hershey's bars have jumped from around $3.50 to as much as $8.29. (27:46) Wow. That's amazing. I don't pay attention to that stuff because I don't buy candy. $8 for a damn Hershey bar. Oh, my gosh. Wow. That's crazy. I do love dark chocolate, man. I love chocolate. I love dark chocolate. That's my thing. But other than that, I'm not a candy person. (28:04) Do you like dark chocolate? Yeah. Do you like the bitterness of it? I do. Yeah. Did you get any of that chocolate that Jim brought back from Columbia? Yes, I did. Yeah. What did you think of that? Okay. I did, too. Yeah, I did, too. I think we all lied to ourselves and said, this is good. (28:20) It was pretty bitter. This is good, Jim. But I will say I had a friend of mine, ours, who was I don't remember what Latin country she was from, but she had given us some candy, and she said, this is really popular where I live. (28:39) Oh, my God. I couldn't even get through the first taste of it. Was it bad? It wasn't bad. It was bad to me. It wasn't something I could do. I wish I could remember the name of it, but I can't. (28:55) But I will see if I can find it. I think my wife knows what it was called. But, oh, my gosh, it had just the worst taste. But she was like, this is the best candy ever. No, I couldn't do it, man. (29:11) I ended up spitting it out. Yeah, we all have our own taste buds and our own perception of what good should mean. That's right. Yeah. Maybe good doesn't mean that in Spanish. It may not. Yeah. All right, coming up in just a little bit. (29:28) Ask Uncle Tom. Coming up, your daily advice on the way. In four minutes, it's the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Tom Mason on the Classic Rock Station. 100.3 KROCK. Here's White Snake. (29:43) 100.3 KROCK. Is this love from Uncle Tom? Oh, it's always love. It's always love. Always love. 746 is the time. Hope you all are. (29:59) Off to a good start this Wednesday morning and hopefully the B Team is making it a little bit better for you. Well, that's what we're here for. That's what we do. Yeah. That's what we do. Bring sunshine to an otherwise cloudy day. That's right. Yeah. It's always sunny with the B Team. It is. (30:15) As long as Bobby's not around. Yeah. Especially today. I know. He's a little... He's just... He's having a sad day. You notice that the day he comes back to town, the sky gets all dark and stormy? Is there a coincidence to that? I didn't point that out, but yeah, there's something to that maybe. (30:34) Poor Bobby. So what's the question today, Tom? You're sitting right over there. Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah. The music in the background tells us one thing. It's time for Ask Uncle Tom, your daily advice, all stitched together by your friends at BuyTomCat Custom Apparel, where the apparel... (30:56) Is custom. Is custom. That was better. You're getting there. I'm working on it. All right. Today, Uncle Tom. Yeah. You hear from bewildered Bobby. Okay. Last night, my wife asked me to help her move a table. (31:11) Now I jumped up, grabbed a side, she grabbed the other, and 10 minutes later, we were arguing about why I didn't tell her I was stepping to the left to avoid the cat when she decided to take a nap right in the walking path. Can I get a breath? Breathe. (31:27) Breathe. Breathe. What did I do wrong? Well, besides not taking a breath. Can I say that line one more time? You can. This is all one sentence. All right. (31:42) I'm not going to stop. Last night, my wife asked me to help her move a table. I jumped up, grabbed a side, she grabbed the other, 10 minutes later, we were arguing about why I didn't tell her I was stepping to the left to avoid the cat when she decided to take a nap right in the walking path. (31:59) That's all one sentence. You can't get through that without taking a breath? Good Lord. You need to go. You need to start running. If you're going to keep up with Uncle Tom and Uncle Bobby, you need to start running. That's what they call a run-on sentence. Well, let's answer this question. (32:16) I don't even know how to get started on this. Well, here we go. We'll talk about the domestic two-person lift, also known as a highly coordinated operation conducted with absolutely no coordination. You made the classic mistake of assuming this was about moving a table. (32:34) It was not. This was a communication exercise disguised as furniture relocation. In your mind, the objective was simple, lift, walk, avoid cat, complete mission. You saw an obstacle, the cat, who of course chose that exact moment to become a decorative floor pillow, adjusted course like a rational adult and kept moving, efficient, logical, problem solved. (32:59) However, in her mind, this was a synchronized event. Every step, every pivot, every micro-adjustment required a verbal briefing. When you stepped left without announcing it, you didn't just avoid the cat. (33:14) You violated the unspoken joint movement treaty. She's now wondering why the table suddenly developed independent thought and you wondering how to avoid an obstacle became a leadership failure. The correct protocol in these situations is less decisive actions and more live commentary. (33:32) Stepping left, adjusting grip, cat ahead, evasive maneuver. Yes, it feels ridiculous. Yes, you sound like an air traffic controller guiding a coffee table, but this isn't about efficiency. It's about shared awareness. You weren't wrong for avoiding the cat. (33:48) You're wrong for doing it silently. So what did you do wrong? You treated it like a task. She treated it like a team sport. And next time, remember, the table is secondary. The play-by-play is everything. Meow. Very well done. Thank you. (34:04) Thank you. Do I have that down? You did. You nailed it. I think you've got a career in this. Meow. I could. It's because I hear it all the time. (34:19) You should have timed it right there in the middle of everything. Do you want to do it again? No. I don't have enough, that much breath either. Gee, what a Christmas. You might pass out. God Almighty. I'm just losing breath thinking about it. Well, you know what? (34:34) That was the finale. So here we are. Till next month. Yeah, till next. No, because next month it'll still be Uncle Bobby. If you're sitting in that seat, I think the rules should be you're the uncle. Well, you write the rules. So I mean, whatever you say goes. (34:52) Is that how that works? Hey. Well, you are in that seat, so today you write the rules. Am I the king? Well, until Saturday sounds like it's not going to be my day. No King's Day coming up. That's right. (35:07) You're staying here for that, right? You're going to drive back from Tallahassee for that? Oh, absolutely. Oh, there'll probably be one over there in Tallahassee you can attend. At the parade. Though there might be. If there is, I'm going to look for a Burger King, see if I can get one of those Burger King crowds wearing it on Saturday. (35:25) Oh my gosh. I think that'd be funny. How beautiful is that? That almost makes me want to drive over there just for that. They've got to have at least one Burger King over there. They do. Yeah. (35:40) All of ours shut down, but I think that crowd would be hilarious. That would be beautiful. Yeah. All right. Let's take a break. We're the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. Dan Diamond's got news next and music from ACDC coming up before 8 o'clock. Stick tight. (35:56) Aerosmith and Dreamon. What are we dreaming about this morning? That Burger King crown? Burger King crown and also Jeeps. I had this weird dream about Jeeps just starting up arbitrarily. (36:12) You know, that they just start and run on their own like watches. Well, that's a dream because we all know Jeeps don't run. Especially some Jeeps. Some of them, yeah. Especially if they're black and orange. (36:28) I think he's going to hate us. Oh, he already did. He probably already does. He already did. This is not anything new. Just pile it on. It's just so much fun. It is. It's always fun to pick on the low-hanging fruit. (36:43) Right. Somebody who's really down, you know, just came back from a wonderful vacation and the car won't start. I don't feel bad for somebody that comes back from a two-week international vacation with a cruise right in the middle of it. (37:00) Right. Car won't start. It's about your first world problems. There you go. It's exactly what I was going to say. Give me a break. Yeah. Cry me a river, right? Uh-huh. For crying out loud. God almighty. Next thing you know, we're going to get a call. (37:15) Hey, can you give me a ride? No. But there's an app called Uber. Surely you can afford that if you went on a two-week international vacation. Right. I don't see why you can't do that. (37:30) Yeah. I'm going to go out there and do it. Yeah. Hey, by the way, got to give a shout out to Mike out on base. Yeah. He called the station here a little bit ago to remind us that there still is a Burger King that's open on Eglin. That's right. (37:45) Yeah. And so he's going to pick me up a crown that I can take to Tallahassee this weekend for no King's Day. I better get a picture. I better get a picture. Maybe I'll get it with Governor Pete Mabry. (38:02) Standing in front of the crowd, right? Exactly. I want a picture so bad. Hey, don't forget, coming up on Friday night, the Alabama Crimson Tide playing in the Sweet Sixteen against No. 1 seed in Michigan. (38:18) We're going to carry that game for you over on Sister Station, 103.7 the ticket. So don't miss out. See if the Tide can push on to the Elite Eight. Because when you get down... Here's the thing. If you can make it through the first two rounds of the tournament, then those dreams actually seem far more attainable, right? (38:41) If you're in the round of 64, you're like, oh, one of 64 teams here is going to win a national title. Well, within four days, you're down to 16 teams. It's like, we win one more game, we're one of eight. And then you win another 40-minute game, and you're like, we're in the Final Four. (38:58) It comes together quick. March is for the dreamers, man. Iowa plays Nebraska Thursday, is that correct? That's right. That's your game, right? That's right. The Pat McAfee show yesterday on ESPN had a bit about... (39:14) They hope that the Anheuser-Busch distributor in Houston brought in an extra truckload of Busch Light, because they aren't ready for Iowa-Nebraska, if that's the case. I'm sure they're not. That's the only two states in the entire country where Busch Light is the most popular beer. (39:33) The most popular beer. Is it really? That's funny. And everybody makes fun of me for drinking it. Mike Betzel, for example. As he should. He saw me get a can of that down at Apalachicola. (39:50) And he asked if I needed a loan. That's disrespectful. That's awesome. That's nothing to do with that. Can I buy you a beer? I can afford your highfalutin 30A. I just don't want it. (40:06) You'd rather go to that Bush Light. That's right. That's what America drinks. In Iowa. In Nebraska. The choice of the heartland. (40:21) Alright, Schuyler Black and Tom Mason on a Wednesday morning B Team Morning Show. It's you buy Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre. Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. (40:39) 100.3 KROCK. Warrington's Uncle Tom's Cabin. How you doing over there on mic three this morning? Yeah, hey, we might want to run the hits behind the lamp next time. Anyway, no, this is great. (40:56) Do I have a microphone? Because I can't hear anything through the headsets right now. How about that? I can hear you guys no problem, but I'm not hearing me. Neither can anybody else. Does that seem to be a problem? Are people complaining about that? (41:13) I've not heard any phone calls. I haven't either. Look, I just spent two weeks chaperoning middle schoolers. They couldn't hear me either. And you decided to come in here and deal with these adults. Yeah, that was not my smartest decision. Chaperoning sixth graders? (41:29) Yeah, sixth, seventh, and eighth. I thought you were on vacation. Yeah, no. I thought they were there to bring you drinks on the beach. Yeah, sure, that's the way that works. Tell us all about your cruise. Yeah, the one that didn't happen? Yeah. Oh, well, we didn't know that. (41:44) Yeah, no, not at all. Gosh, we've been telling everybody what a wonderful time you've been having. Yeah, well, it was Greece. In case you're wondering, if you want to experience a little bit of Greece at home, just go to the nearest demolition site. (41:59) Yeah? And look for the rubble? And imagine what it once was. Not good, huh? The ruins. No, it was a lot of fun. I mean, there were definitely some good moments about it. (42:14) We ended up with a lot of free time in Athens, so that was kind of the ongoing joke. Really? Yeah. We were supposed to take a boat trip out to some of the Greek isles, and the weather kind of canceled that, which I'm kind of okay with it. I don't think anybody wants to be on a 40-foot boat in 6 to 10 rollers. (42:32) What? No? With a bunch of kids? With like a 40-knot wind. A bunch of sick kids? Yeah. Yeah, so we took a flight down to Santorini. So we got down to the island of Santorini. That was probably the highlight of the trip for me. There's a settlement that they found there called Akrotori. (42:50) Okay. Like how Pompeii was covered in ash. Yeah. Well, this settlement had the same thing happen, but 1,600 years before Pompeii. Okay. And so it was kind of cool to sit there and see some of the things and some of the technology that they had 4,000 years ago. (43:08) I mean, right there in Santorini 4,000 years ago, they had a centralized sewer system. They had flushing toilets. I mean, it was just like, wow, maybe we're not as advanced as we think we are. We got no Kings Day. (43:24) Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Get that coming up. There you go. And they love to talk about how in Greece, they're the birthplace of the democratic process. Okay. I told them a couple of times they could take all Democrats back as far as I was concerned. (43:40) Did they want them? They didn't get it. They didn't pick on your subtle humor. Yeah. We did get to see Changing of the Guard. So that was kind of cool to see their Tomb of the Unknown and their Changing of the Guard. So that was kind of fun. Did you go see the... Huge protest while we were there too. (43:56) Really? Yeah. Two different protests going on while we were there. The taxi drivers are protesting because they just changed some of their rules. And they have to have newer cars that have safety features and stuff like that. So they were all pissed off about that. (44:12) That was quite funny. And then the other protest was that they just changed some ruling back. Their parliament changed some ruling back like six months ago or so. So they do... (44:27) Their university system's a little different than ours, the way they do it. So what we would call community college, they call college as well where you get your AA degree. But then your advanced degrees, bachelors and so on, are at university, right? Or at uni. And Greece just changed it to where now they don't... (44:45) The only thing that covers public education is through college. And it's private institutions. And if you want to get bachelor's, master's, doctorate, you're going to have to pay for that yourself privately. What? It's not completely state funded. So they were all griping and complaining about that. Okay. (45:00) Yeah. Yeah, it is a little different than the way we do it. Yeah. Yeah, it was funny talking to a couple of the cops that were there working it. And they're like, yeah, they're all complaining about not getting free education, yet they're getting free education. Reason to complain. (45:16) Right. Did you see the old Olympic complex and Olympic Village? Yeah, yeah. So we went over to Olympia. We did where the old stadium was. I actually got to run on the old track where they did the 200 meter. (45:32) Video or it didn't happen. No, no, no. I think somebody videoed it. It was a little more of a speed walk. Yeah, I didn't see any pictures. Than it was a full on run. I pulled a hammy the day before. And even if I see the video... Performance. (45:47) Yeah, it was probably AI. If I see the video... Performance. Yeah, it was probably AI. AI's a thing. Yeah. Wait, look, he's got no legs. How's he running? So that was a little cool. And then I learned something interesting on the whole trip, something I never knew. (46:04) I'd always seen the pictures of the Parthenon and everything at the Acropolis there in Athens. And I was noticing how it looked more blown apart than anything. Like the way it had broken and fallen and everything. And the guide was actually telling us that actually the Parthenon was in perfect shape, was in great shape. (46:25) But the Venetians came over in the 1600s AD to help get the Ottomans out. And while they were trying to get the Ottomans out, they were canoning up to the Acropolis. What they did not know is that the Ottomans stored all of their gunpowder and everything inside the Parthenon. (46:43) They were using it as storage for all of their black powder, gunpowder, explosives, all of that. And the Venetians sent a cannonball into the middle of the Parthenon and... Oops. Boom. Kind of blew it apart. (46:59) Oops. And the rest is history. So that's why when you look at that one, you see it looks all blown up. Because, well, it was. I was always amazed when I went and saw some of those ruins and some of the things, the sites. Actually, how small everything is. (47:16) You think these are grand, huge structures and stuff like that. And you get there and you go, these things fit in my backyard. Not really, but that's what you look at and you go, wow, it's really small. Well, maybe Tom's backyard. (47:31) Some of them were that way, and I was amazed. But I've got to tell you, Acretory, again, I was blown away by that. Because they've uncovered three- and four-story structures. That's just not something that we think of in an ancient world like that. (47:48) I mean, 4,000 years ago. And they were saying that they had recently used some LIDAR and stuff like that. And they believe that even underneath that layer, where they have all of that, that there's an even more ancient settlement that was right there on that island. (48:04) That's pretty neat. Yeah, it was kind of cool. It was neat to go through. Right there in Athens, under the museum, they were getting ready to build the Museum of Athens and uncovered an archaeological site. (48:20) Yes, I saw that. So that whole site was down there, and there was one house that we went and looked at. Dubai? No, no, no. The neat thing. I mean, it was 1,000 B.C. before that settlement went away. (48:37) But this particular home had been an occupied home for 1,000 years. Yeah. And they had stuff dating back from 1,600 to 600 B.C. is how long that house had been around. (48:56) And I'm like, you know, damn, if we can get one in the last 50 years in the States. Yeah. Right. Builder comes in, knocks it down. Yeah, so they had a few builder upgrades. Wow. So, I mean, you know, from that aspect, it was really cool. (49:14) I cannot wait to have a friggin' steak, though. I mean, let me tell you, the heartburn is real. Yeah. Everything's cooked in olive oil, even the sweets. They're like, oh, we used olive oil in this. That's crazy. Lots of pita, lots of gyros. (49:31) No, actually, not a lot of gyros. Lamb? No, you know, I expected to see more lamb. A lot of pork and chicken is really what it was. Yeah, but it's olive oil and tomato and lemon and orange juice. (49:47) Feta? Yeah, there was some feta there. I was eating yogurt every morning just trying to get the heartburn gone. Oh, God. First World Problems. Tell us all about them. (50:05) Not a lot of baklava. Not a single serving of baklava. Really? Yeah, I was kind of shocked. I thought that was a Jewish thing. No, no, no. That's Greek, but it's cute that you paid attention. The Jewish Greeks. It was kind of funny, too, because a bunch of statues around. (50:25) Athleticism was their thing, right? And they always competed naked and all that stuff. So the kids are giggling? Oh, yeah. I had one person ask me, oh, who is that? I'm like, I don't know, but he's not Jewish. (50:42) Still got the tip on the shmuckle. It's 8.34. We need a break. Aren't you glad I came back? Good to have you back. When's your next trip? It's a BT morning show. Scattered Black Tom Mason. (50:58) Bobby Dewrell back in the saddle with us this morning on 100.3 KROCK. They do. Did you try throwing another duck on the dash? No. There you go. Isn't that what we're taking to Talley this weekend? (51:14) Sure. As long as you push, I'll take it. That's fine. Send me pictures. That was cute. All the damn electronics on it resetting and everything. And I'm sitting there going, you know what? (51:29) Just give me a CJ-7 with manual shift. Drive over it 45 miles an hour. And a shovel strapped to the side of it in case I have to dig out. I was known for this, but you just kind of push it up on a ramp, right? (51:44) So you'd have it at a little bit of an incline. You'd let the parking brake go and pop the clutch. And just start it up. Who needs a key? Just make sure you park point and downhill. That's right. Because jumping that bitch in reverse is difficult, but it can be done. (52:02) Not a lot of hills around here, either. No, not many to help out. You don't need that much of an incline. You really don't. Well, if the best hill you've got in town is a boat ramp, you're going into the water. That's not a good idea. It's a cheat. (52:17) Just put a snorkel on it. Just some 50-gallon drums on the side. It'll float. All right, we're out of time. Minutes away from 9 o'clock. Schuyler Black, Tom Mason, Bobby Dewrell, B Team Morning Show signing off for this Wednesday morning. I want to thank you all for dialing in and spending your Wednesday with us. (52:35) Do you want to do your whole shebang and gizmo and gig here at the end like you always do? I don't know if I remember it. I don't think anybody does. It's been so damn long. We can't count on Tom to do anything like that. It's too confusing. (52:50) Hey, it's enough you got Uncle Tom out of me. I'm just a temp. You're just a temp. Tom, thanks for filling in, man. I do appreciate it. Look at this mug. This guy looks like MacPherson. Yeah, he sure does. It does. There you go. (53:05) We're going to have to figure out why Jim got arrested. A huge shout out to Felix and David Johnson and a few of the other guys out there that learned on this trip that they listen. Did they give you any pointers? (53:22) We're at about day three and somebody comes up and says something about the morning show. David Johnson's like, what morning show? I'm like, yeah, I'm on 100.3 KROCK, the B Team Morning Show. He goes, you're Uncle Bobby. I'm like, yeah. (53:37) He goes, man, I knew I recognized that voice. Well, there you go. Put two and two together. Only took flying 3,000 miles to figure it out. 11 hours on an airplane. That's right. Hey, folks, thanks for listening. (53:52) This is the B Team Morning Show, your leading alternative to quality programming right here on the Emerald Coast. We know you have a choice in what you listen to each and every day. To be honest, I'm just baffled that you continue to tune in. We are, too. Especially now. I know, right? (54:07) After these last two weeks. So, hey, it's that time of day. We've got to get on out of here, so we're going to do just that. Why don't you all keep on rocking, keep on rolling, never settle for the ordinary. Until the next time, the B Team is out. And that's a wrap on today's B Team Redux.
