National Beaver Day & the Antidepressant Easter Egg: Why America's Weirdest Holidays Still Make More Sense Than a 112‑MPH Mormon Joyride
Description
We celebrated beavers as civil engineers, declared beer a food group, mourned a friend, and met a Utah driver who hit 112 mph with Grandma in the backseat—then politely informed the cop he'd learned absolutely nothing from the experience.
Participants
Show Notes
Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell kicked off another Tuesday on 100.3 KROCK, Fort Walton Beach's classic rock station, with Billy Squier and a PSA for the oft-forgotten heroes of chaos — dispatchers. National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week starts this weekend, and if you've ever needed a calm voice while your world's on fire, now's your chance to adopt one and shower them in gratitude (or coffee). Details live on the events tab at thebteamshow.com, because someone's gotta do the emotional heavy lifting when 911 rings.
The National Day calendar brought us International Beaver Day, honoring the only engineer who works for free and still catches blame when the river floods. Then National Beer Day reminded us that America ended Prohibition and immediately returned sobriety for store credit — a holiday where hydration is a lie and barley counts as a food group. And finally, National No Housework Day, which Bobby noted is just "another Tuesday" around here. Because nothing says adulting like celebrating the exact mess you were already ignoring with sticky floors and confidence. We're hitting a high of 78 today after a chilly 52-degree start, so grab a jacket now and ditch it later — classic Emerald Coast spring whiplash.
Community-wise, the 69th Annual Destin Blessing of the Fleet is set for May 14th, and Woofstock rolls into Navarre this Sunday (noon to 4 p.m.), presented by our friends at Okaloosa Gas. Last year saw over 200 dogs and owners out there living their best unleashed lives — details at thebteamshow.com. Michigan took the men's hoops title 69-63 over UConn in a game so ugly it made defense look romantic, much to the delight of Stripes Pub & Grill owner Rob Reyes, who was hollering "Go Blue!" all over Facebook. We also tipped our hats to longtime listener Eric "Touch" Mataza for finally tuning in — only took him since 2023, but hey, better late than never when you're a Nebraska Cornhusker.
Ask Uncle Bobby tackled the "Stale Fortune Struggler," someone drowning in self-help platitudes and going nowhere fast. Bobby's prescription? A giant leap — not a step. Apply for a job you're wildly underqualified for (luxury sandwich consulting, anyone?), relocate somewhere that confuses your friends, and yank the steering wheel hard enough to remind your brain it's still alive. Momentum doesn't come from polishing the same old routine until it shines — it comes from shock, the wholesome kind that wakes you up. Brought to you by BuyTomCat Custom Apparel, because if you're reinventing yourself, you might as well look good doing it. We also took a moment to honor Dub Scroggins, a dear friend who passed over the weekend — our hearts go out to Junebug and the whole Scroggins family. Dub had that rare dry wit and a smile that stuck with you, even on the hard days.
And because Utah apparently never sleeps, we got two wild ones: a 20-year-old clocked at 112 mph with his mom, grandma, and a 16-year-old in the car, telling the trooper "arresting me teaches me nothing" — stellar parenting all around. Then a 36-year-old stripped naked at Temple Square during Easter Sunday services in front of thousands, because nothing says resurrection like public indecency and a security blanket. We're back tomorrow for Hump Day — until then, keep it weird, keep it loud, and remember: OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach has your back when you need fuel that doesn't come from a drive-thru. Rock on, Emerald Coast.
Transcript
(00:01) Billy Squire in the dark on the classic rock station. 100.3 KROCK. It's the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell. By the way, coming up this weekend is the start of National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, aka, those are dispatchers. (00:21) You get the chance to adopt and sponsor a dispatcher all week long next week, shower them in gifts. They're kind of the, well, at times the forgotten heroes that help assist with making those calls come to reality. (00:39) Well, they're the calm voice on the other end. Yeah, that's true. One side's frantic and they're the side of reason. And we want to make sure that they do not get forgotten about. So, if you would like to sponsor a dispatcher next week, you can do so. (00:56) We've got all the contact info for you to find on the events tab at thebteamshow.com. Today, Mr. Dewrell, you doing all right over there? Yeah, I'm making it. I'm making it. You need another cup of coffee? Just about. Well, today on the National Day calendar, Tuesday, April 7th, it's International Beaver Day. (01:17) Same beaver? I heard it was a hairless. Anyway. All right, then. No, seriously. I mean, look, it's a great day because we're celebrating the only engineer who works for free and never complains and still gets blamed when the river floods. (01:38) Oh, that type of beaver. Yeah, the big tooth one. International Beaver Day rolls around every April 7th, and, well, suddenly everybody's an amateur naturalist with a calendar and a conscience. You know, it's a tip of the hat to the world's busiest little civil engineers, the beavers, who, well, they build dams, they make wetlands, they slow floods, and generally do more infrastructure work with their teeth than most committees manage with a budget. (02:07) You know, the point is appreciation, conservation, and, well, maybe admitting that leave it to nature works better when nature has work ethic and zero interest in your zoning laws. So, yes, it's absurd, but it's, you know, it's the good kind of absurd, right? (02:23) The kind that starts as a joke and ends with you realizing the beaver's got a plan and you've got excuses. International Beaver Day. There you go. It's the B Team Morning Show on a Tuesday. We'll continue on with a couple more national holidays here in just a little bit. (02:41) Look at Your Marine Forecast is coming up next on 100.3 KROCK. Way to the top on a Tuesday morning. Yes, New Beer's Eve was yesterday, but we have made it to the top this morning on the National Day calendar. (02:57) That's right. It's National Beer Day. That's right. The one holiday where hydration is a lie, productivity is canceled, and everybody suddenly believes barley is a food group. You can almost chew it. Oh, it's National Beer Day, and it's that yearly reminder that America can turn anything into a holiday if it comes with a cold can and a flimsy excuse. (03:22) That's right. It tips its hat to the end of Prohibition when the country collectively decided sobriety was an interesting experiment and immediately returned it for store credit. Yeah. The rules are simple. You drink something fizzy, pretend it's history, act shocked when your group chat turns into a reunion tour of bad decisions. (03:42) You've got to treat it like a warm-up lap because the real sport here isn't beer. It's what you're willing to call a tradition. National Beer Day. Wow. That's exciting. (03:57) Aren't you excited? Did you ever give your dogs beer? No. Really? They love Coors Light. Yeah. I mean, now, give it or did they drink it is kind of two different things. (04:12) Well, they would drink it. See, Riley, when he was a pup, Coors Light and Bush Light loved it. He'd get a can when I get home from work and I'd get a can when I get home from work. Hey, if you'd like to bring your dog out to Woofstock over in Navarre, it comes up on Sunday afternoon from noon to four, just like the Fort Walton Chamber's Dog Days event in the fall. (04:35) This is the similar event that the Navarre Chamber started a few years ago, presented by our friends at Okaloosa Gas. Last year, they had over 200 dogs and owners out there for the event. Going to be lots of vendors. We've got more details on the community events tab at thebteamshow.com. (04:52) Marshall Tucker heard it in a love song on 100.3 KROG. Talk dirty to me. Poison. How fitting. (05:07) Because apparently dirt is supposed to be okay today since it's National No Housework Day. Yeah, as Taylor calls it, Tuesday. What Taylor are you talking about? (05:23) Taylor, before you get too upset, that's what Schuyler was just in here griping about. Did you wear that soda? I kind of did. How'd you miss your mouth? I don't know. Oh, man. Listen, nothing says adulting like celebrating the exact thing you were already ignoring with a sticky floor and confidence. (05:41) National No Housework Day. That one feels like home. No pun intended. National No Housework Day is the glorious little square on the calendar where we all pretend that laundry isn't multiplying like it's got a union contract. (05:58) No, the idea is simple. You don't scrub. You don't mop. You don't just real quick anything because the second you touch a sponge, you join the enemy. Look, it's not about being lazy. It's about taking one day to stare your domestic responsibilities in the face and let them know you're capable of neglect on principle. (06:20) Now, of course, tomorrow the mess will still be there, so waiting like a debt collector with patience and a clipboard. National No Housework Day. All right, well, I guess celebrate however you see fit. Apparently it's by not doing anything. (06:36) Yeah. Or, like I said, just another Tuesday lap around the sun. Yeah. For the B Team Morning Show, Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, as well as Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach on 100.3 KROCK. (06:52) Dan Diamond has a look at local news coming up in moments. Stick tight. There's more here than meets the ear. 100.3 KROCK. KROCK, the classic rock station. Good morning, Emerald Coast. How are you? It's the B Team Morning Show. (07:07) Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell on a Tuesday. The sunshine is out this morning, unlike yesterday, but it's still chilly. 50. Yeah, that's true. It is still chilly. 52 right now. But we'll see a high of 78 this afternoon, so that'll be nice at some point. (07:26) But, again, it was one of those mornings where we stepped outside and I thought, well, hell, I know it's supposed to be warm later on today. It's not yet. So grab a jacket. Grab a jacket. All right, we've got lots to get to this morning. Bobby, I did see that the 69th annual Destin Blessing of the Fleet is scheduled. (07:47) That's going to be coming up on May 14th, which happens to be a Thursday. So we'll talk about that. We've got it posted on the events tab at thebteamshow.com. Also last night, Michigan won its national title in men's hoops, 69-63, over UConn. (08:11) Not necessarily an aesthetically pleasing game. It wasn't very pretty. They couldn't hit threes at all, just two for the entire game, and had to win by playing tough defense and grinding it out. But Wolverines got it done. One of our morning show sponsors, Stripes Pub & Grill, Rob Reyes, huge Michigan fan. (08:33) He was on Facebook last night. Go Blue! Go Blue! And I just held my nose and bit my tongue. Of course, I think that our buddy Brian Hayes over at Dominant Truck is a big Michigan fan, too. (08:54) Oh, really? Yeah. Hey, you know, talking to buddies, we should give a shout out to a good friend of ours, Touch. Eric Mataza out there. He's actually finally listening. Wow. Yeah. So I guess he's no longer the T in the LGBT community. (09:10) That's right. Larry, Gary, Barry, and Touch. Yeah, if you can get the rest of your team there to get on board with you. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, thanks, Eric, for finally listening. We appreciate it. (09:25) You know, whenever it pleases you. Yeah, it's only been like this since 2023. Yeah, I've got to tell you. Friends like ours. It's a miracle we're where we are today. Of course, I wouldn't expect any different out of a Nebraska Cornhusker. (09:41) You've got to start on that now. We've got lots to get to. Ask Uncle Bobby later on in the hour as well. It's the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Durrell. On 100.3 KROCK, here's Tom Petty. (09:56) Forerunner. Blue morning. Blue day. It's the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell on the air. Thanks for dialing in and spending your Tuesday with us. Nice to see the sunshine today, even though it's still colder than a witch's booby. (10:15) That's true. In a brass bra. In a brass bra on the first Friday of February. See, I think that last line works in Iowa, and it doesn't necessarily work here. Because the first Friday of February can be quite warm. (10:30) Could be. Could be. But then when you say that, you're also saying, well, it'll get cold again. Yep. And was I wrong? No, you were right. Oh God, how'd that taste? How'd that taste? Like crow. (10:46) You want some salt to go with that crow? Still tastes like ass. Doesn't matter how much salt you put on it. Well, there was a family in Kansas City that received, what they are saying, a frightening surprise while preparing Easter baskets when a loose pill reportedly fell out of a bag of store-bought candy purchased from Sam's Club. (11:10) Now, after opening the package, the mother said she identified the capsule as what she believed to be an antidepressant, raising concerns about the potential danger to children. And although the store refunded their purchase and immediately removed the product from shelves, the family is now sharing their experience as a cautionary reminder for others to carefully inspect candy. (11:31) Meanwhile, there's a totally depressed worker out there. They lost their candy. So anyway, who knows? Those stories, maybe they're legit. (11:46) Some poor guy trying to bag up some Easter eggs somewhere is just out there all, oh, bother. Yeah. Eeyore lost his happy candy. Meanwhile, little Timmy got it. (12:01) But mama took it away before Timmy could have some fun. Yeah, there you go. Just didn't even think about the poor worker. Right. Why not call the candy, why not call Mars and see if Eeyore can, you can meet up with Eeyore to get his belongings back to him. (12:20) We are going to see a high today of 78 degrees. I know that seems like a stretch, but eventually it'll get there. It's 52 right now, but another day of winds out of the north bringing chillier, drier air. (12:35) That'll change. I don't know. Tomorrow, maybe winds will move to the east and highs in the mid-70s again. There we go. We'll see. What do you think about the difference between a north and an east wind? (12:51) I mean, the east still seems somewhat dry. Yeah, a little bit. I mean, you know, that north wind is always coming down and definitely bringing some cold, but the east, not necessarily bringing the cold weather, but it does seem to be a little bit drier. (13:07) It's those southerly winds that are just hot and oppressive. Yeah, the blast furnace. Yeah, yeah. It's like a cotton field in May. Well, don't have to worry about that today. (13:26) Nope. It's 725. We're going to take a break. We're 20 minutes away from asking Uncle Boobie for advice. Yeah. Stay with us. We'll get to that in just a little bit. It's a B Team morning show on 100.3 KROCK. Just like paradise. (13:42) Just like paradise. This must be just like living in paradise. Well, let me tell you, it is. David Lee Roth, just like paradise. That's what you say about coming in here every day, because you get to spend some time with me. (13:58) I get it. I get it. You're welcome. Yeah. Right. Yeah, definitely. So, B Team morning show continues to roll on this Tuesday morning. 52 degrees right now, 78 this afternoon. Dan Diamond's got a look at your weather forecast in just a little bit. (14:16) But I've got some music to start here, get that cued up. Just to tell the audience, you know what that means. That's right. It's time for your daily advice. Ask Uncle Boobie. That's right. All stitched together by our good friends at BuyTomCat Custom Apparel. (14:37) That's right. Spring break is here. That means the shoulder season is over. We're getting into the full run of it. And listen, this is when businesses start getting busy again, which means customers should probably know who works there. Custom shirts and hats make that possible. (14:53) And BuyTomCat got you covered. Wow. Smooth. You like that? Yeah. See hats? BuyTomCat's got you covered. Mm-hmm. See what I did? That was really, really, really good. I'm proud of that one. Yeah. (15:08) Today, Uncle Bobbie, you get a question in from the Stale Fortune Struggler. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. They write in saying, Dear Uncle Bobbie, I feel stuck in a rut even though I have read a lot of self-help advice and tried to follow it. (15:26) How do I create real momentum and make a meaningful next step? Well, first of all, let me say you're not broken, okay? You're just over-marinated in advice that, well, tastes like paper and promises, you know, kind of like perfume, okay? (15:49) If another person tells you to take one small step, I want you to lovingly take that pamphlet and use it as a coaster. See, momentum doesn't come from polishing the same old routine until it shines. No, no, no, no. (16:04) Momentum comes from shock, the kind, wholesome shock of yanking the steering wheel of your life just enough to remind your brain it's still alive. (16:20) See, look, here's the principle, okay? Your next step is not a step. It's a giant leap. And you are going to land somewhere loud enough to wake you up, all right? (16:36) So here's what you do, sweet and simple. You just pick an option so bold it scares your current personality right out of your shoulders, okay? Apply for a job you're wildly underqualified for, right? In an industry that would confuse your friends. (16:54) You know, something like, I don't know, professional pillow fighting or lighthouse narration or luxury sandwich consulting. See, then you add a relocation element because a rut loves a familiar scenery. So you got to choose a place with a different climate, different food, different expectations. (17:14) Move like you're escaping a slow leak. You do not need a perfect plan. You need a clean break and a suitcase full of audacity. And when the stale fortune cookie wisdom tries to crawl back in, you don't debate it. (17:31) You smile, you pat it on its head, and you keep walking toward the decision that makes no sense on paper but makes your pulse behave like it used to. See, your next step is not a step. It's a giant leap. (17:46) And you are going to land somewhere loud enough to wake you up. There's your answer, Mr. Stale Fortune Struggler. Real man of genius. (18:05) Hey, look, man, you know, I'm just saying. I've done it. That's why you give the advice, right? It's just a personal experience. That's right. You've got to creatively reinvent yourself every so often. (18:20) That's a look at today's Ask Uncle Bobby question and answer. We do this every morning around 745, all stitched together by our friends at Buy TomCat Custom Apparel. Where the apparel is custom. (18:36) 749 is the time. Local news is next. Your omni-broadcasting news for this morning is brought to you by McCaskill & Company, the Emerald Coast's finest jeweler. I'm Dan Diamond. (18:53) Aerosmith, Janie's got a gun. That sounds dangerous. It's the B Team morning show just a couple minutes after 8 on a Tuesday. Beautiful sunshine today, but still a little bit chilly for the morning hours. (19:08) It will warm up this afternoon more than it did yesterday, though, with a high of 78 degrees. Seeing that sunshine will make a difference in the afternoon feel. Yesterday was kind of cloudy and dreary all day. (19:23) It felt like a November day rather than a spring day. It really did. If you've got any relationship with Mother Nature, tell her not to do that again. Hey, and, you know, I don't know, Schuyler. (19:41) This one may be a little out, but I've just got to say something because it still bothers me. I'm still hurt with it. A good friend of ours, well, he passed on over the weekend. (19:59) He was a dear friend, and his wife is certainly a dear friend of the show, and you've heard us talk about her before, too. Junebug, our heart still goes out to you. Dub was a good man, and he will be truly, truly missed. (20:17) June, we love you, and our heart goes out to you. And Deanna, and everyone. That's right. All of the Scroggins. Anyway, sorry. I had to say something. (20:32) I appreciate that. Yeah, love you, Junebug. Love you lots. If you don't know June, she is absolutely one of the most genuine, sweetest people you'll ever meet. Absolutely. And Dub was... (20:48) He certainly made me smile. His dry wit was one of those things. I always wish I could undersell a joke and have dry wit like that, but that's not me. (21:04) And he always had a big smile on his face. He did. He did. He dealt with a lot, and a lot of days did not feel very good, but he didn't want anyone else to know that. That's true. So, anyway. Thinking about you, Junebug. Love you. Praying for you. (21:22) And all the Scroggins family. Deanna. Good call I mentioned that this morning. Yeah, I had to. We let it ride yesterday, but I just had to say something. Stay with us. We've got more to get to here on the B Team Mortage Show. (21:39) Brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Here's ZZ Top on 100.3 KROCK. Black Friday. Steely Dan on the classic rock station, 100.3 KROCK. (21:54) Good morning, everybody. It's the B Team Morning Show. How you doing over there? Man, I'm here. Yeah, I'm here. Well, the good news is that we've had… I hate this time of year with the freaking pollen, man. (22:10) Yeah, I… Sounds like I've got a bad coke habit. I'm not saying you don't. I didn't say it was bad. It's just a habit. You in the pizza business or something? (22:28) Yeah. See, I have 78 degrees here this afternoon. Got a story for you, though, out of the Mormon state. Actually, what is Utah's slogan? I have no idea. (22:43) I don't either. It's not that boring. It's not that boring. Well, a 20-year-old driver in Utah was under arrest after speeding down the freeway 112 miles per hour. Oh, wow. (22:59) Then he told the trooper the experience wouldn't change his behavior. Hey, I just need you to know, officer, I'm absolutely not going to learn from this. That's exactly what he said. The Utah Highway Patrol trooper spotted a car and a motorcycle speeding side-by-side, weaving through traffic at more than 100 miles per hour in a 70-mile-an-hour zone. (23:20) The trooper clocked them at 112 before pulling over the car as both vehicles exited to I-215. Inside the car were the driver, his mother, his grandmother, and a 16-year-old girl. According to the arrest report, the driver didn't show much concern, telling the trooper, you know, I drive like this all the time, and arresting me teaches me nothing. (23:42) He also reportedly said that if he had been on a motorcycle, he would have just gotten away. His mother told police he wasn't racing, just speeding to show off. But that didn't stop the arrest after the dangerous triple-digit run down the freeway. (23:58) Oh, whatever. Good parenting, Mom. Yeah. Great work. Yeah. Meanwhile, Mom and Granny are sitting in the car going, don't you have something better to do? Exactly. Exactly. They're mad that they got pulled over. (24:15) Loving every minute of it. Loverboy on the Classic Rock Station, 100.3 KROCK. It's the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Durrell. Why is it that we get another crazy story out of Utah? (24:31) I, man, why, I don't know. It's Utah. Yeah. A man is currently, or was under arrest this weekend in Salt Lake City after police say he suddenly stripped naked in front of a massive religious crowd gathered for Easter Sunday. (24:46) That's one way to do it. Do Mormons celebrate Easter? Surely they do. It's Jehovah's Witnesses that don't. I don't know. Do Mormons celebrate Easter? How did Google even know that we won't? Yes, they do. It's Jehovah's Witnesses that do not. (25:05) Gotcha. But investigators say 36-year-old Mitchell Anderson removed all of his clothes at Temple Square during the weekend general conference of the LDS Church, an event that drew thousands of attendees, including families and children. (25:20) Officers and church security witnessed the incident. As it unfolded, a security worker quickly covered the man with a blanket before he was taken into custody. So, yeah, people are going nuts out there in Utah. Alright, we gotta go. We're out of time. Can you believe that? (25:40) Well, I mean, we're out of time, so I guess I have to, otherwise my believer would be broken. That's right, and it's not. It's gone. So, if you missed anything that we talked about today, you can find all the show notes from local events to crazy stories to the studies that Bobby loves to talk about. (25:57) Of course, your daily Ask Uncle Bobby feature and the national holidays and more, including the show in its entirety. All available at your fingertips anytime you want it at TheBTeamShow.com. Yeah, and look for us on Facebook now, too. (26:12) That's right. We did have a regular Facebook presence. And then we didn't. Well, yeah, thanks to jackwagons that left the company and decided to leave us all on a lurch, we now have a brand new Facebook website, official B Team Show. (26:30) Do we have a link to that on TheBTeamShow.com? Yeah, if you go down to the bottom corner, you can get there. But hop on, follow us. We're trying to get regular posts going back there again and everything. We were without Facebook for a little while. (26:47) Since Meta and Facebook care so much about people that steal intellectual property rights and everything like that, we've lost access to that old show. Yeah, the old site. Go follow the new one. (27:02) Yeah, go follow the new one, jump in, hang out. But also let this be your cautionary tale that if somebody wants to be a jackwagon when they leave your organization, there's nothing you're going to be able to do about it. (27:17) And Google won't help. That's right. And you should call them a jackwagon. Or worse. Got some other words for them. I want to thank you all for dialing in and spending this Tuesday morning with us. I want to thank our sponsors, Stripes Pub & Grill & Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi for sponsoring the show. (27:36) As they do each and every morning, we'll do it again tomorrow for a Hump Day Wednesday version of the show. I'm Schuyler Black, Bobby Dewrell, get us on out. Hey folks, thanks for listening to the VT 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. (27:53) We appreciate the fact that you settled in for this wild ride that we call the Morning Show. But it's come that time of day, we've got to mosey on out of here. So keep on rocking, keep on rolling. Never settle for the ordinary. Until the next time, the B Team is out. Who's about to rock? Where do you think you're going? (28:09) More rock next. 100.3k rock. And that's a wrap on today's B Team Redux.
