Johnny Appleseed Day & The Dunning-Kruger Council: Why America's Loudest Politicians Know the Least

Description

We dragged democracy through the mud—literally—dissecting off-cycle elections, overconfident politicians who couldn't define "expenditure" if their career depended on it, and the dark art of self-promotion (spoiler: it requires shamelessness and a willingness to narrate your own heroism like you're filing a land claim).

Show Notes

Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell kicked off another glorious Wednesday on 100.3 KROCK, Fort Walton Beach's classic rock station, with partly sunny skies and a high near 80 degrees — which Bobby insists is just the calm before another inevitable late-March cold snap. We've seen this movie before, folks. Mark Ballant agrees: somewhere between March 20th and April 1st, we're getting one last gasp of winter in the 20s, and no amount of optimism will stop it. Until then, we're enjoying Johnny Appleseed Day (honoring America's patron saint of unsolicited landscaping) and Dream Day (where half-baked fantasies get spreadsheets and motivational speeches). Bobby's already packed for Greece, leaving us with Trainwreck Tom for the rest of the month — pray for us.

Fort Walton Beach voters delivered an 84-16 landslide in yesterday's referendum election, and Bobby had thoughts about off-cycle municipal elections. Turns out the people who show up to these things are older, wealthier, more civically engaged — and way easier for special interest groups to dominate. Science also confirmed what we already knew: the less someone knows about politics, the more confident they are that they're right. It's called the Dunning-Kruger effect, and it explains about 90% of the comment section on the Internet (and possibly one local councilman who once asked Chief Page why gas expenditures doubled when gas prices doubled). Meanwhile, Mary Esther elected Bernie Oder and Larry Carter to city council, and Valparaiso crowned Joe Morgan mayor with a whopping 409 votes. Democracy in action, people.

This Saturday from 1:30 to 4:00 PM, PAWS is hosting a kitten shower at The Retreat on Hollywood Boulevard — bring wet/dry food, litter, paper towels, blankets, or just show up for free lunch courtesy of Lenny's Subs and Grill. Spring kitten season is upon us, and they need all the help they can get. Speaking of help, a Pensacola woman hired a moving company that promised "immediate delivery" from Tennessee — it's been two weeks, and she's still sleeping on the floor. The Better Business Bureau says if they're pushy and won't let you ask questions, it's probably a scam. In better news, a Tennessee veteran with no known family was expected to be buried alone, but hundreds of strangers showed up to give him full military honors. And in classic Florida Man fashion, a 64-year-old got so annoyed by an Amazon van blocking the road that he climbed in and drove off — with the driver still inside. He's now facing grand theft and kidnapping charges, because apparently that's frowned upon.

Bobby dropped some workplace wisdom in Ask Uncle Bobby: if you're stuck watching mediocrity get promoted, it's because mediocrity is loud. Competence is quiet and allergic to credit, while some human foghorn says two nouns and a verb and suddenly they're the visionary. Merit is the paper menu; visibility is the meal. So start narrating your existence like you're the main character, send recap emails, volunteer to present, and treat every workday like a small election you're running unopposed. Feel fake? Good — that means you're adapting. In other news, Elon Musk is worth $839 billion (that's equity, not cash, Democrats), Sugar Shane Atkinson stole Bobby's bourbon and celebrated a birthday today, and Bobby's convinced Tom will survive two weeks of solo shows. We're less convinced. Thanks to Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach for keeping the lights on. Bobby's Greece-bound, Tom's on deck, and we're all just trying to survive until the next cold snap. Keep rockin', Emerald Coast.

Transcript

(00:01) Here's today's B Team Redux. ACDC on the classic rock station for those about to rock while we salute you. For dialing in and rocking with the B Team today. It is Wednesday, the middle of the week. (00:16) Taking a look at your forecast today, we'll see partly sunny skies this afternoon and a high close to 80 degrees. Again, I think this is just beautiful weather for the first third of March. Another cold snap coming. (00:31) Yeah, actually there is. By the end of the work week, when I say cold snap, I'm talking about a high of 71. No, no, no. It'll come. It'll happen. Bobby just wants another 48 degree weekend. It's going to happen, man. It always does. (00:48) It's funny, Mark Ballant and I were talking the other night. He's another guy who's been around here forever, right? Somebody else was like, oh man, it's so great, it's so great. Before I could even say it, he was like, nope, there's another cold snap coming. (01:03) He said, I'm waiting for that one. It's always that one that comes right there about late March. It's going to be somewhere in the 20s. March 20th to the 1st of April. (01:20) I'm waiting for that one. As soon as that one snap comes through, that's when I put up the fireplace, and I put up this, and I put up that. But until then, I ain't putting it up. So you're convinced we're still in fall-spring. Yeah, without fail, before Easter. (01:39) One last gasp of winter coming. Yep. Well, it ain't happening today, folks. I can probably count on one hand in the last 50 years that that hasn't happened. Yeah, and you're right. I mean, this is the fifth winter, and it's happened every time. (01:57) How'd that taste? It's happened every time. I think the first year I was down, it was like, I don't know, damn, probably like the 15th of March. Daytime high of like 42. Right. What the hell? It was like that for three days. (02:13) Yep. All right. Well, today on the National Day Calendar, as we open up the BT Morning Show, we celebrate Johnny Appleseed Day. Oh, yeah. The guy who walked around littering on purpose and got a wholesome PR team. Yeah. And then that ended up with a lifetime supply of pie. (02:29) That's right. Hey, nothing wrong with apple pie. Oh, Johnny Appleseed Day is the annual moment we all pretend a barefoot seed chucker with a tin pot hat invented agriculture. And somehow that counts as a holiday. You know, officially, it's about planting apple trees and honoring John Chapman, patron saint of optimism, blisters, and unsolicited landscaping. (02:52) You know, unofficially, it's a reminder that America was built by people who walked into the wilderness with a pocket full of seeds and zero regard for personal comfort. Which, you know, explains a lot about our national decision making. Go ahead. (03:08) Eat an apple. Plant something. Or, I don't know, just stand outside and stare at the horizon like you got a plan. There you go. It's the BT Morning Show. Scatter Blank and Bobby Durrell brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas at Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach, Stevie Ray Vaughan on 100.3 KROCK. (03:26) There's gas and roundabout on the classic rock station, 100.3 KROCK. It's the BT Morning Show. I'm Scatter Blank. He's Bobby Durrell. Appreciate you all dialing in on a hump day Wednesday. A high of almost 80 degrees this afternoon. (03:43) We've got to look at your forecast. Look at your marine forecast coming up if you want to get out on the water today. But first things first, let's take a look at the National Day calendar. And, well, I guess we're all a bunch of dreamers today. Yeah. Yeah. (03:58) Dream day. Dream day. It's finally a holiday where my goals show up on time. Unlike the people in charge of my paycheck. True story. Just saying. Dream day is that annual little civic experiment where everybody pretends their half-baked fantasies deserve a parade, a spreadsheet, a motivational speech from someone who still can't fold a fitted sheet. (04:24) You know, you write down the dream, you say it out loud, and it's legally binding. You spend the day acting like the universe is a customer service desk that owes you a refund. You know, the optimism everywhere, it's aggressive, unearned optimism, mixed with just enough guilt to keep you from admitting your dream is mostly a nap with branding. (04:48) It's absurd, sure, but it's also revealing because nothing shows you who a person really is like watching them chase a miracle with a calendar reminder and a snack bag. It's dream day, folks. Celebrate accordingly. Hey, coming up this weekend on Saturday, there's going to be a kitten shower for paws over at The Retreat on Hollywood Boulevard here in Fort Walton Beach from 1.30 till 4.00. (05:10) They're looking for donations, whether it be wet or dry food, litter, paper towels, cleaning supplies, blankets, what have you. They're looking for it as they take in an influx of felines in the spring season. So learn more on the events tab at thebteamshow.com. (05:27) But there's going to be free lunch provided by Lenny's Subs and Grill for anybody that stops by at that kitten shower on Saturday. So cool enough there. Minutes away from, I don't know, minutes away from more music. (05:42) How about look at your marine forecast is next right here on 100.3 KROG. There's more here than meets the ear. 100.3 KROG. Queen, Bob Hemian Rhapsody. Yeah, let's go with that. (05:58) I try to theme all of these song titles around you. Yeah, well, it's good. It's good practice. Eight minutes after seven on a hump day Wednesday morning. How's everybody doing? Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell, the B Team Morning Show is on the air right now, 71 degrees in overcast skies. (06:15) And speaking of the wind blowing, it's going to get a little gusty this afternoon. Wind gusts today out of the south up to 20. Bring it in a strong chance of showers and thunderstorms overnight tonight. Low of 59. Tomorrow, high of 70. (06:30) So not quite as warm. Friday, sunny and 70. We'll check your forecast here in just a little bit. I do have to say, Bobby was right. How'd that taste? (06:46) Well, never tried it, but I would guess like ass because next Tuesday, highs in the 50s. Son of a buck. Yeah, we'll check that forecast in just a little bit. (07:02) B Team Morning Show on the air brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas at Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Wake it up the morning after a municipal election day. Yeah, I got some stuff I want to talk to you about that. (07:18) I'm still trying to pull it together a little bit. So let's just tease it, and next break we'll come back. I'll give you another 30 seconds or so. Yeah, okay. By the way, Elon Musk once again ranked the richest person in the world, and by a huge margin, according to the most up-to-date billionaire rankings, Musk's net worth is estimated to be $839 billion, which puts him roughly $582 billion ahead of the next richest person, which is Jeff Bezos at $257 billion, Bernard Arnault at about $201 billion, and Mark Zuckerberg at $181 billion. (08:01) And by the way, Democrats, that doesn't mean that's the cash they have in the bank. That is just equity of the assets that they possess. But don't think that $839 billion that Elon Musk has in net worth is something we can go grab out of his bank account. (08:22) Oh, God, yeah. That's like, I sit around and watch these, because I never sleep, but I've seen all these damn Carlton sheets and other real estate investors over the years. Well, I went from no money in the bank to now I have a net worth of $2.4 million. (08:40) Yeah, and debt out your wazoo and no money coming in. Exactly. Payments you can't hardly make. Yeah, I bought this house, and if I keep it rented, I make $100 a month. Yeah, and then when it's not rented, you're out of freaking mortgage payment, you jack wagon. (08:58) Yeah, you're in foreclosure. I know, I know. You sound like Dave Ramsey right now. Oh, Jesus. It's just so idiotic, some of these things people do, man. I mean, I'm like, what the hell are you thinking? Anyway. Well, Bobby's going to get on a rant here in about 10 or 15 minutes, and I'm here for it. (09:17) Yeah, yeah, we're going to talk a little bit about off-cycle elections. The will of the people! The will of the people! The insiders! And what a pain some people can be. Well, you know, fun story about them. It's a new study. We'll have to talk about it. (09:34) Stay with us. Bachman-Trenner Overdrive on 100.3 KROCK. ZZ Top is thanking us this morning, and I guess we say you're welcome. It's a BT Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. (09:51) Schuyler Black and Bobby Durrell, 722 is the time. It's overcast out there right now, 71 degrees. We'll climb up to 79 this afternoon. A full look at your forecast is coming up in just a few minutes. Of course, ask Uncle Bobby about 20 or 25 minutes from now. (10:06) But in the meantime, we've got some stuff we've got to get to. Right? Yeah. City elections last night. Mary Esther Valpe and, of course, Fort Walton Beach. It was a referendum election yesterday in Fort Walton. (10:21) Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. It was really a close race, wasn't it? Yeah, like 84 to 16. Yeah, yeah. Close. The will of the people. The will of the people. Now, you know, a little special interest group is tying up the vote on the rest of the referendums. (10:41) And it'll be nice if a judge says, you know, hey, yeah, no, that was on the ballot. People voted. Let's see what they said. So it'd be nice to see those outcomes. It would be. But either way, I guess, you know, maybe it can be voted on again in November now. (10:56) Yeah, because that was the one that they allowed to pass. That would be on cycle with the state. Right. That was the one that was allowed to pass last night. Yeah, yeah. But, hey, there's an interesting story out there. I'm just going to kind of get into it and then tell me if it makes you think of anybody in particular. (11:18) But science has kind of finally confirmed something that most of us already suspect while scrolling Facebook at midnight. I think you know where I'm going now. Oh, boy. But a new psychology study found that the people who know the least about politics are often the most confident that they're right about it. (11:40) Yep. Does that make you think of anyone? It does. Any certain councilman? Yes. So researchers tested people on basic political facts. See, again, I'm telling you. And then asked them how confident they felt about their answers. (11:57) And wouldn't you know it, the biggest gap between confidence and actual knowledge showed up in the folks who scored the lowest. Yeah, I'm not surprised. Yeah. So, in other words, the less someone actually knew, the more certain they were they had everything figured out. (12:18) It's amazing how that works, isn't it? Isn't it? Yeah. Now, this is called the Dunning-Kruger effect. And it's a mental blind spot where people with limited knowledge don't realize how limited it is. So they end up wildly overestimating their expertise. (12:35) So the study also noted that people who prefer quick black and white answers and don't like gray areas tend to show the most overconfidence. Now, just look. Before everybody starts pointing fingers across political aisles, researchers also say most people actually weren't wildly overconfident. (12:53) Many were pretty realistic about what they did or didn't know. Right? Okay. And sometimes even underestimated their knowledge. So, again, I mean, let's pull out a local and let's look at that federally. Isn't that America right now? Yeah. (13:08) You got the left and the right yelling at each other, and here we are stuck in the freaking middle. Yeah. It's like parents that are divorced with a child that's just stuck. So here we go. Here's the takeaway. (13:23) It's pretty simple. It's pretty simple. If someone's absolutely certain they understand every political issue perfectly, you know, like they're walking around out there in pain. I know. There's a decent chance they probably understand it the least. (13:41) And that said, council member, I remember about four years ago, there was a meeting. And I'm going to try to talk like him because he speaks slow and deliberate because I think he tries to give off an air like he's sophisticated and intelligent. I don't think that's slow and deliberate. (13:57) I think that I'm struggling to put words together. But go ahead. Anyway, he talks quite slow. And I think he wants you to think that he's intelligent. But you listen to him and you realize he's a couple IQ points shy of a halfwit. Yeah. (14:12) And he's asking Chief Page in a meeting. Now, Chief, I'm looking here at your expenditures on gas in the last year. And from 2021 to 2022, it went up more than double. (14:28) Why are y'all driving so much more? Dude, do you remember what the freaking gas price was in 21 compared to 22? You dumbass. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, there you go. (14:45) The people that are absolutely understand, they understand it. Absolutely certainly understand it. There's a decent chance they might understand the least. And when you think about it, when you think about that, right? That really describes about explains about 90% of the comment section on the Internet. (15:04) Sure does. I'm just saying. I mean, dude, you asked for it. You say stupid things. People are going to call you out for it. That's right. (15:19) That's right. And hey, I got to tell you, this whole move to pull these off cycle elections in line. I got to tell you, that's there. Right. Increase voter turnout. (15:34) Well, it does increase voter turnout. Now, a couple of things. Generally speaking, when you have these off cycle like today, you really have. And again, we had about a 15% turnout. (15:49) So usually you're only looking at a 10 to 25% turnout at best. Right. That's right. In an off cycle. The people who normally do that have a higher political engagement, right? So they tend to regularly vote in every election. (16:05) They're very politically interested, civically involved, more likely to follow local news. They're actually older, wealthier and oftentimes more educated. So they have a higher income, more educated. They're usually homeowners, long term residents. Now, here's the thing, though. (16:22) Interest groups are significantly, significantly overrepresented because the turnout is low. So organized interest groups tend to dominate participation in this. Yeah. So that makes sense. (16:37) That's going to be public employee unions, developers and real estate interests, right? Neighborhood associations, watch groups, right? Issue driven groups, that kind of stuff. And they're very informed about their issue. (16:53) But unfortunately, they're not broadly informed about everything on the ballot. Right. Yeah. And so with that, they there's some trade offs, right? That while they know more about local issues, they're less representative of the population. (17:12) And, you know, that's it. It's narrower, but it's more intense. Right. So when you move those elections to coincide with with state and federal elections, turnout increases dramatically. The electorate becomes way more representatives representative. (17:29) Right. You know, unfortunately, the voters are less informed. Ballots get long and, you know, down ballot races become, you know, low information votes. But I mean, that's just what it is. (17:44) You know, the blunt reality is off cycle. Yeah. It's more informed than the average voter, but it's more skewed and easier to organize groups to influence. And that's what's happened. Yeah. That's that's what happened when the referendums got pushed through. (17:59) And, you know, there you go. Yeah. The you definitely wait the you wait the electorate more. That's for sure. Mm hmm. So one way or the other. All right. Let's take a break. We're about 15, 17 minutes out from Ask Uncle Bobby. I know it was an extended break, but Bobby felt it was necessary to dive in. (18:17) Dive into that will of the people. Call somebody out. Hey, I you know what? Look, open mic in here right now. Any one of you want to come here and talk to me about it? The door is open. We've had one council member come in and then chicken out when we got ready to turn on the mic. (18:35) But I'm willing to talk to anybody. And if you want a more extended session, I bet I could talk Dan Diamond into it. I'm willing to sit down across the table from you over on ninety four three. And let's have a let's have a talk. Become prepared because I'm not throwing you softball questions. Bobby's ready to go. (18:51) I'm ready to go. I've had it with some of these local politicians around here. It's about time somebody started holding you accountable and not from your echo chamber on Facebook. Right. Exactly. Exactly. All right. Foreigner Dire Straits and Bon Jovi coming up before Ask Uncle Bobby on the B Team Morning Show with 100.3 KROCK. (19:11) Just a quick update on the other two municipal elections that happened here in South Okaloosa County last night. Yeah, they weren't they weren't as landslide. No. But Mary Esther elected Bernie Oder and Larry Carter to the city council. (19:27) And Joe Morgan was elected Valparaiso mayor with a grand total of four hundred and nine votes. So congratulations to those folks on their on their campaigns and winning an election in their respective cities. (19:45) Coming up in just a few minutes. Ask Uncle Bobby. Are we ready to get to that here in a few ticks? Sure. Is Uncle Bobby still ready to be on the soapbox this morning? Probably. All right. Stay with us. Coming up here in just a little bit. Right now, right now though, by request, Bon Jovi living on a prayer. Here you go. For you, for you, Tay-Tay. It's a B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. Well, we are more than halfway to eight o'clock, but it's time for Ask Uncle Bobby. It's the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell. Every morning around 745, we get advice from the friendliest guy we all know. That's Uncle Bobby. We do it each morning, all stitched together by our friends by Tomcat Custom Apparel. (20:42) That's right. Tomcat Custom Apparel reminding you that St. Patrick's Day is basically Mardi Gras wearing green, so you might as well look good doing it. Something I never thought of. Today, Uncle Bobby, you hear from the Quarterly Ego Sprinter. Oh, that seems like an easy name. (21:00) Yeah, yeah. Dear Uncle Bobby, I feel stuck in my career while people with less skill keep getting promoted. I know I need to self-promote more, but it feels uncomfortable and fake. How do I do it without feeling shameless? You do not do it without feeling shameless. Look, that's the whole point. The corporate ladder is not a ladder. It's a spotlight, and the only currency it accepts is attention. You're watching mediocrity get promoted because mediocrity is loud. See, competence is quiet, polite, and tragically allergic to credit. Meanwhile, some human foghorn strolls into a meeting, says two nouns and a verb, and suddenly they are the visionary. (21:48) Look, here's the dirty truth you already know. Merit is the paper menu. Visibility is the meal. See, you want to advance. You want to start treating every workday like a small election where you're running unopposed, but still campaign like your life depends on it. (22:05) You know, if you did the work, you did it publicly. You got to start narrating your existence like you're the main character and everyone else's background furniture. You got to send the recap email, volunteer to present, ask the question that forces your project to be mentioned out loud in front of witnesses like you are filing a claim on a piece of land, okay? And if you want the fast lane, oh, you got to stop waiting for credit to find you and you got to go take it like it owes you rent. That's right. You phrase everything as outcomes, impact, and heroic suffering because nobody promotes effort. No, they promote stories. (22:43) If somebody else tries to wear your work like a new suit, you smile, step forward, and tailor that suit onto your body in real time. You feel fake? Good. That means you're adapting. In a gladiator arena, the loudest survives. And you have been trying to win a sword fight by politely sharpening your sword in the corner. And that doesn't work. (23:06) He said, bring it to the ring. That's right. It's showtime. You got to pretend like you're paying Walker on city council. Oh my God. So he's talking about his hero this morning again. Yeah. Let's not say that. (23:22) All right. I'll tell you who loves him is Gary McCoy said he was his favorite politician ever. And I can say that because Gary doesn't listen to the show. And you can add Bobby Holbrook to that list too. Anybody else you want to toss in? (23:40) All right. There's ask Uncle Bobby. I heard in only the way a Democrat can that John Hilsman voted for him. He lives in Chalamar though. That was even mean to John. (23:58) John didn't deserve that. I'm waiting for my phone to bus. It's seven 51. This is the BT morning show on 100.3 KROCK. We'll be back with a look at news coming up right now. (24:16) Abracadabra. It's like magic, Bobby. It'd be like moving, you know, from Nashville to Pensacola, the moving truck comes and picks up your stuff and then never delivers it to your new house. (24:31) Did you hear about this story out of Pensacola? No, I didn't. Yeah. Channel three had a story. Pensacola woman claims a moving company promised immediate delivery, but now she's being told it could take a month before she sees her belongings. Oh, well, that's one way to do it. (24:49) Yeah. Renata Rangel and her family moved from Tennessee to Pensacola last month, and now the family's been sleeping on the floor. She said, I brought this with me in my car. Thank God my court reporting stuff is here. Now, some of them, some of my recording audio is with them. (25:04) So they have over $600 worth of court reporting equipment. Now, after a value added moving, picked up the family's boxes and furniture. Rangel was told they were being delivered to the family's new apartment in Pensacola immediately, and it's now been two weeks. Well, it's yeah. Immediate. (25:20) Immediately. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if it was like Pony Express days. Immediately. Immediately. Yeah. It's still 2026. Yeah. So she said they have the dressers, beds, mattresses. They have decorations. (25:35) They have their clothes. So it's completely empty. There's nothing here. Just waiting for it to be delivered. Now, when hiring value added moving, Rangel says the salesman offered a low price. She said that should have been my first red flag. The deal was just too good. Now, she said they asked her to sign the moving contract right away, promising that she would have 72 hours to cancel. (25:55) Now, the BBB serving northwest Florida says this is a telltale sign of a scam. If they're being pushy and they're trying to get you to sign right away, they don't want you to ask questions. They don't want you to talk to other friends or family. That's usually a sign they're trying to put something over on you, said Will Worth, marketing and communications director with the Better Business Bureau. (26:15) Probably a sign of a scam is what he added. Now, Rangel said whenever they picked it up, they went through the items one by one, each box, each item, put it in here, put a tag on it. Rangel says she has called every contact number she can find for the moving company, but it's never given a clear explanation or a timeline. (26:34) At this point, I will go pick it up myself, she said. They won't tell me where it is. And when I did speak to them a couple of times, they were extremely rude, like I was stupid for wanting to know where my things are. That's a nightmare. Yeah, that's one way to do it, I guess. (26:51) Uh-huh. So we'll see. It makes you wonder. I mean, did they sell off her items? What the hell happened? Why would you want to tie up one of your trucks for that long? Unless you had nefarious activity going on. (27:10) But yeah. Anyway, I saw that story, I thought, well, that's kind of scary. So anyway, we are the B Team Morning Show on a, what is this, Wednesday? It is. It is Wednesday. 71 degrees, overcast skies right now. (27:25) 79 this afternoon and good chances of showers and thunderstorms overnight tonight and into tomorrow. We'll check your forecast in about 15 minutes. It's got their Black and Bobby Dewrell of B Team Show brought to you by our friends at Stripes Pub and Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi over in Miramar Beach. (27:44) Yeah. What's on your radar this hour? You got anything else you want to get to? I was just thinking about the fact that, you know, there's a bunch of people that have died on Mount Everest trying to get to the top, right? (28:01) And once you kind of die up there, there's no way to get you down. They kind of leave them in place and they almost become markers for the trail, right? Okay. But what I was thinking about is, you know, all those people that died on Mount Everest, they were once highly motivated individuals. (28:18) So maybe just calm down. No? No. There's nobody up there that was being mediocre. (28:34) You asked. You spoon-fed me. It's the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. Here's heart. We'll see if we get any more of those dumb jokes later. (28:51) Dumb jokes later. Rush and Tom Sawyer. 825 is the time. (29:07) Bobby, we're going backwards in temp outside. Yeah. 69 right now. Oh, man. I knew I shouldn't have worn shorts this morning. As long as it doesn't drop another two degrees, we should be good. Down to 67. Yep. God. (29:23) Going to see a high today of 79. A full look at your forecast is coming up in just a little bit. We're the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell. Of course, every morning we're brought to you by our friends at Stripes Pub and Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. (29:42) Got a little feel-good story for you that reminds you there's still some good in the world. A U.S. Navy veteran in Tennessee who died with no known family was expected to be buried alone, but his local community had other plans. When word spread that Lonnie D. Wayman had no relatives to claim, Unclaimed as body, organizers invited the public to attend his funeral at the Middle Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery in Nashville. Now on the day of the service, hundreds of strangers, veterans and community members, showed up to pay their respects. (30:12) Yeah, that's pretty cool. Wayman was laid to rest with full military honors, including prayers and a formal tribute to his service. Veterans Affairs representative told the crowd that the term unclaimed veteran didn't really fit because the large turnout showed that the community had come together to claim him as one of their own. Now in the end, what could have been a lonely burial turned into a powerful moment of respect as hundreds gathered to make sure the veteran was not laid to rest alone. (30:42) So that's a pretty cool story. Yeah, that is. I love that. I do like it. After all the dirt that we talk about and all the crap that we have to sift through, it's nice to find those feel-good stories once in a while. It is. (30:57) And you're always so good about finding them. Yeah, I do. I do my best. Thank you. One of us has to. I just want to make sure you know. We appreciate your efforts on that front. All right, we'll take a break. We've got the final half hour coming up before Bobby heads to Greece. (31:16) Yeah, that's true. Be out of here before you know it. I know it. I know it. What are we going to do with Uncle Bobby? You're going to have Uncle Tom for a little while. That's going to be a disaster. Oh, God, yeah. But it makes you appreciate me more. (31:31) It does. Yeah, we'll have trainwreck Tom in starting tomorrow for basically the rest of the month. Yeah, yeah, essentially, essentially. Going to be weird, but maybe Bobby can join us via Zoom one day. (31:48) I'll try. I might even let's see. I'm supposed to have a hell of a layover tomorrow, so I'll see what the layover looks like. And I might even call in then. But yeah, I'm sure I can find it. I'm just trying to figure out how to make some time for you guys. (32:03) You'll be stuck in hot Lanta for a while. Yeah, it sounds like that. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, we're going to take a break, pay a couple of bills, at least if you call in through Zoom over in Greece, it'll be, like, mid-afternoon for you and not middle of the night. (32:21) Yeah, it will. It will. So, all right, quick break. I'll call you from a couple of rock quarries over there. I mean, ruins. Rock quarries. Zeppelin, bad company, and the cars on the way next on 100.3 KROCK. (32:36) 100.3 KROCK. There's the cars. You might think I'm crazy. KROCK. Yeah, you're saying it just like Alice. Really enunciate that K. That's right. KROCK. KROCK. It's the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK, the Classic Rock Station. (32:56) I'm Schuyler Black. He's Bobby Dewrell. Together, we are the B Team Morning Show. One last story for you before we play one more tune and get out of here. A Florida man story, too. A Florida man is facing serious charges after he got into an Amazon delivery van and drove it while the driver was still inside. (33:15) Oh, well, let him get you. He did it because he was annoyed the vehicle was blocking the road. A 64-year-old suspect allegedly yelled at the delivery driver to move the van. When the driver said he would move it shortly, well, the man climbed into the driver's seat and drove off. (33:33) That's awesome. Yeah, that's one way to do it. That's awesome. Yeah, that's one way to do it. The delivery driver reportedly ran after the van and climbed inside through the cargo door just to stop it. Deputies say the sudden movement caused the driver to brace himself, and he was struck by a package rack before the vehicle finally stopped. (33:52) The suspect was later identified through video and arrested, and he now faces grand theft and kidnapping charges because the driver was inside the van when it was taken. So, as annoying as delivery vehicles may be, you're not supposed to jump inside and steal them. (34:09) All right, one last tune, then Bobby and I are getting out of here. Yeah, final, final sign off for March. I know. Well, for you at least. Here's Jackie Blake. For the real B Team. Oh! Jackie, boo! (34:25) Well, Bobby, we screwed up. I didn't know. I didn't see it till... I didn't screw up. We did. We collectively screwed up because I didn't see it till just now, and it's an hour past the time of when he can listen. Oh, yeah? But Sugar Shane Atkinson is celebrating a birthday today. Oh! Well, shucky darn. Shucky darn. Hope you enjoyed the bourbon that was us Bobby and I's. Yeah, yeah. Because that's what we do. (34:40) We're the B Team. We're the B Team. We're the B Team. We're the B Team. We're the B Team. We're the B Team. We're the B Team. We're the B Team. Shucky darn. Hope you enjoyed the bourbon that was us Bobby and I's. Yeah. Yeah. Because that was an early birthday gift. (34:56) Exactly. Friggin' thief. Klepto Shane. That's right. Sugar Shane done stole it. Uh-huh. Sugar's so sticky, runs off with her own bourbon. Old sticky fingers there. That's right. He can't help it. No. No. But happy birthday, Sugar. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. (35:11) Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Yeah. Happy birthday, Shane. Hope you have a good one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We would be remiss to not wish a bourbon bandit as yourself a happy birthday. (35:29) Yeah. Well, hey, you know what? You got half of our bottle. You want to replace it with a full bottle for us for our birthday. Sounds good. Yeah. And no, I'm not going to say that because he'll probably show up with something like you know, crown peach or gym beam. (35:44) Yeah. Plastic bottle beam. That's right. All right. We're out of time. Evan. Evan Williams. Green label. $9.95 a bottle. Oh, the white label is the worst. And then I think, I think the white label is the worst. Yeah. I think it's white, white, green, black. I mean, not, not that the black label is anything to write home about, but it's just, it's, it's what makes you want the black. (35:59) When we were up in Minnesota a couple months ago, they had a, something like a, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. (36:14) I don't want the black. When we were up in Minnesota a couple months ago, they had a, something they call up there, a, a bump and a beer is what they call it. And I'd never heard of it, but apparently it's just this, this shot of God, awful, well liquor. You get a choice of vodka, bourbon, and I think there may have been like a tequila or something brandy. (36:37) And cause they like brandy for some reason. Yeah. Well, it's cause it's cold. I've never had brandy in my life, but I guess it's. But it's Minnesota cold. Minnesota. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. And I, but the best option was, was Evan Williams. (36:53) Yeah. That was, that's how my trip started. Yeah. A PBR and an Evan Williams. Look, man, I can't, I can't say anything, you know, when I was in, in college and couldn't afford the good stuff like Jack Daniels and Coca-Cola, we, we drank a poor man's Jack and Coke. Oh yeah. (37:08) Evan Williams and RC. Oh God. Then you survived. I made it. You made it. I had some terrible hangovers. God, that had to hurt. Oh, it was not fun. It was gut rot to the core. But yeah, but yeah. Evan, Evan Williams and RC Cola. I've, I've more, nary, nary, nary more than one. You didn't relive those days? Oh no. No. (37:23) Graduated past that one. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Mm hmm. Well, I hope you have a great trip. (37:38) No, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Keep those kids in line. I do my best. All right. See you in two weeks. Yeah. Or a month. We'll see. Come back. Yeah. I think Bobby's going to do it. We're going to do the show together. I'm going to treat this like one of your trips to Iowa, like, oh, I can't make it back. (37:56) Yeah. I've done that a couple of times. I've done that a couple of times. Oh man, it's just going to be one more day. Oh, this is going to be one more day. Yeah. Well, a couple of years ago when grandma died, it turned into another week. Yeah, I didn't give you too much curry food on that one. (38:13) But anyway, yeah, because towards the end of the last week of the month, I think we do the show together twice, and then we're both gone for a long weekend. Yeah, if I make it back for those two days. I've already told Tom he's probably just doing it. Solo? (38:28) That's right. Because I'll just skip too. We'll just head to Talley early. Yeah. Yeah. I'll be prepared. By that point, he'll have two weeks of training. He will. Significantly more. Do you think he's Significantly more than what I got the first time I got thrown on a board. (38:44) True. Do you think he's trainable? I don't know, man. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know either. That's rough. I don't want to think about that. I'll think about that when we get there. (39:00) Yeah, rough. All right, we're out of here. I want to thank you all for dialing in. We're the B Team Morning Show. Scattered Black and Bobby Dewrell. I want to thank our sponsors, including Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas at Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday. (39:15) I'll see you back here tomorrow morning, bright and early at 6. Bobby, get us on out. Hey, folks. Thanks for listening to 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, well, quite frankly, we're shocked as hell you listen to us. (39:30) All the choices. We settle here. Oh, but it's come that time of day, we've got to mosey on out of here. Some of us will be back before others. But, hey, until next time, you keep on rockin', keep on rollin'. Never settle for the ordinary. The B Team is out. (39:46) And that's a wrap on today's B Team Redux.
