National Beef Burger Day & The Slug's Return: How America Celebrates Absurdity While Crime Stoppers Hunts a 36-Year Ghost

(00:01) Here's today's B Team Redux. ACDC Highway to Hell on 100.3 KROCK. It is Thursday morning. How you doing, Emerald Coast? I'm Schuyler Black. It's the B Team Morning Show. Bobby Dewrell, across the counter, how are you this morning? (00:17) Just peachy. Ready for another soggy day? Yeah, why not? It's going to be rather rainy today and tomorrow, but throughout the weekend too, folks. Just know that. It's going to be kind of sopping wet out there. (00:32) That full forecast is coming up here in just a little while. The B Team show, of course, as always, brought to you by our friends at Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, as well as Okaloosa Gas and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. (00:47) Alright, well, first thing we like to do each and every morning is dive into the big days on the calendar. And today, well, thank God for Donald Trump and enforcing immigration laws, because today is Amnesty International Day. (01:06) Yeah, that's the annual reminder that government loves human rights the same way cats love baths. Loudly, briefly, and only under protest. Right? Amnesty International Day is that annual moment where we all pretend the world runs on empathy and paperwork. (01:26) You know, not on grudges, greed, and guys in suits who've never been told no. Look, it's a day to shine a flashlight on the political prisoners, torture, censorship, and the general human hobby of doing evil and calling it policy. Now, the pitch is simple. You write letters, you make some noise, you pressure the powerful, because nothing scares authority like a paper trail in a public audience. (01:48) It's noble, necessary, and it also reminds us that human rights is still something we have to ask for, like extra napkins. God, I'm glad we got that out of the way. Alright, highs today of about 86 degrees. We'll check that full forecast in just a little while. (02:06) Plus, Dan Diamond will have a look at local news before 7 o'clock as well. Right now, cream, sunshine of your love on 100.3 KROCK. The Guess Who in no time on the Classic Rock Station, 100.3 KROCK, and online streaming at KROQFWB.com. (02:25) By the way, we're online at TheBTeamShow.com. Have you checked out our website? We've got a full list of local events, national holidays, the show on demand, your daily Ask Uncle Bobby feature. Of course, the local news and the wacky news that we talk about. (02:41) Everything you hear on the air is online, all at TheBTeamShow.com. So, if you haven't visited our website, get over there and check it out. Larry, Gary, and Barry. That's right. We haven't given them a shout-out this week, so... I don't know. It's because I don't like them. Oh! They done burnt that bridge. (03:00) Well, you know what I do like? Mm-hmm. A good old cheeseburger. Yeah. And today is National Beef Burger Day. Yeah, because we had to be specific that it's beef. Yeah, what other kind of burgers are there? Oh, whatever. I guess we just needed a holiday to remind us that lunch tastes better than our responsibilities. (03:19) Amen. Amen. National Beef Burger Day is that glorious little speed bump on the calendar where we all pretend to ground up cow in a bun as cultural achievement instead of just Thursday with better branding. Yeah, it's a celebration of sizzling shortcuts. (03:35) You know, protein, grease, and a handshake agreement to ignore your cholesterol until tomorrow. Like, tomorrow ever paid anybody's bills anyway. Look, restaurants will roll out limited-time masterpieces that look like a dare and taste like poor decisions made confidently. (03:50) And I got to respect that. Because if we're going to worship something, at least this one comes with pickles and doesn't ask for your email address. You want to know what the Mark Grinland daily lunch is literally every single day? Probably ground beef. (04:06) Six eggs. Mm-hmm. Half a pound of ground beef. Mm-hmm. Stick of butter. Mm-hmm. Half a cup of cheese. Oh, that's something. That is something. That is something. And he swears by it. (04:21) He swears by it. You think I should give it a shot? Sure. See what happens? What's the worst that could happen? I don't know. Heart attack? All right, a quick break, and more nonstop classic rock is coming up. A look at your marine forecast is next, right here on 100.3 KROCK. (04:38) Stand by for more rock. 100.3 KROCK. Fleetwood Mac and the Gold Dust Woman on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. Hey, don't forget, coming up on Friday, June 12th, from noon to 3, Mid-South Bank is going to be hosting their Summertime Fair. (04:59) It's a family-friendly community event hosted at Mid-South Bank 768 Beale Parkway, right here in Fort Walton. This event encourages children to learn about saving money while families enjoy carnival games, prizes, food, ice cream, and other summer activities, and attendees who open or deposit into a child savings account will be entered into a drawing to win a $50 deposit, and new accounts will receive a free little piggy bank as part of the celebration, as well. (05:28) We've got details on this event on the Events tab. Funny how that works, by visiting our website, thebteamshow.com. Well, Mr. Dewrell, you get the honors this morning to tell us all about the slug's return from Capistrano Day. (05:44) Oh, yeah, well, it's a great little holiday, because, I mean, there's really nothing like celebrating nature's slowest commuters oozing back like they forgot their wallets. Fair point. The slug's return from Capistrano Day is an annual moment when a town full of otherwise employable adults pretends it's spiritually important to stand around and wait for a damp little freeloader to show up like they've paid taxes. (06:11) Look, you don't celebrate it because it makes sense. You celebrate it because the calendar is a liar and humans need pageantry to cope with the slow march toward irrelevance. So, there are parades, traditions, and suspicious amounts of merchandise for an animal whose main hobby is turning lettuce into regret. (06:32) And sure, it's absurd, so pace yourselves, because the real miracle isn't the slug's returning, it's the things people do in their honor. The slug's return from Capistrano Day. Now that is something to write home about. (06:48) Yeah, you know, you never knew. Nope. See what I'm adding to your life? This is important stuff. This is cultural relevance right here. This is riveting information. This is the stuff. And you only get it right here on the BT Morning Show. That's right. Nobody else there talk about the slug's from Capistrano. (07:03) No, no. But we're going to do it. We will. Right here, right now. It's happening. All right. Let's get back to some tunes. In excess, what you need is 100.3 KROCK and the BT Morning Show. The Who on the Classic Rock Station. (07:30) 100.3 KROCK. It's the BT Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Novar, as well as Okaloosa Gas and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Bobby, yesterday on Ask Uncle Bobby gave us a million and one reasons and ways to get fired from your job. (07:52) And get promoted. Whatever way you want to look at it. Told you. One career-ending move a day. Does the trick. Does the trick. That's how I've always gotten promoted. Rise to the top. We've got another Ask Uncle Bobby coming up for you here in about an hour, around 745, right here on the BT Morning Show with 100.3 KROCK. (08:13) Plus, Dan Diamond's got news for you just moments away. I'll tell you what. Earlier in the hour, we talked about it being Beef Burger Day, which I could do for lunch. Now, what could I do for supper tonight? How about a little brisket? (08:28) It's National Brisket Day. Oh, yeah. This is when we pretend patience is a personality trait just because we babysat meat for 12 hours and called it a tradition. We called it delicious. National Brisket Day is that sacred little speed bump on the calendar where grown adults pretend to slab a cow as a personality trait and, well, call it tradition. (08:51) See, you smoke it, you slice it, you argue about it like the argument pays your mortgage, and somehow everyone's convinced their method was handed down from the mountain on stone tablets. Yep. Yep. It's not about hunger. (09:06) It's about control. Time, temperature, your own shaky sense of purpose while the rest of life free falls around you. And if you think that sounds dramatic, well, wait until you see what people do to a brisket when they're trying to impress their ex. (09:22) Okay, National Brisket Day. Mmm, I could go for some brisket right now, actually, Bobby. Brisket and eggs, that sound like a breakfast to you? Yeah, sure does. Okay. Hey, a look at local news with Dan Diamond is coming up next right here on 100.3 KROCK. (09:41) You actually like this? Yeah, dude, it's classic rock. Well, there's more where that came from. 100.3 KROCK. 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. Aerosmith love in an elevator on a Thursday morning. (09:57) Overcast skies and 78 degrees. He's right here in Destin Fort Walton Beach. A high today of 85. 60% chance of some spotty showers, maybe a couple rumbles of thunder at some point. But a lot of that rainfall is going to stay on the north side of Choctahatchee Bay. (10:17) They did have a few sprinkles up in the Niceville, Valpe area, right around Eglin Air Force Base this morning. But it looks like it's going to be periodic rain showers for today. That full forecast coming up in just a little bit. I'm Schuyler Black. This is the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. (10:36) Brought to you by our friends at Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, as well as Okaloosa Gas at Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. If you travel Eglin Parkway much, you'll probably notice that you're starting to see some more crews working on the road. (10:52) Right around Cinco Bayou Bridge. And our friends over at Get the Coast report that crews are installing underground drainage infrastructure near the south end of the Cinco Bayou Bridge. It's part of that $11.6 million resurfacing project on State Road 85, which is Eglin Parkway. (11:12) FDOT said workers are putting in stormwater components designed to direct runoff and support long-term roadway performance along State Road 85. Proper grading and drainage are critical to protecting the roadway structure and improving safety during heavy rainfall. (11:28) So if you're seeing some construction right around the Cinco Bridge, that is what's going on. Again, it's all part of the State Road 85 Eglin Parkway resurfacing project. We'll take a look at your weather forecast as we work our way closer to the weekend here in just about 10 minutes. (11:45) Right now, Neil Young and Cinnamon Girl. I'm Schuyler Black. This is the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. There's Kiss. Rock and roll all night, party every day. Oh man, I think you did that wrong. (12:01) How? I've been rock and rolling all day and partying every night. Not since you've been doing this show. I'd say the last two and a half, three years, that lifestyle has faded from your life. That is true. That is true. I've had many a four o'clock morning. It's usually going to bed. (12:22) Not waking up. Not getting up. Mostly cloudy 79 right now in Destin Fort Walton Beach. A high today of 85. We'll check your forecast in just a little bit. I'm Schuyler Black. He's Bobby Dewrell. We are the B Team Morning Show. Don't forget, coming up here in just a couple of weeks, a couple big events on Friday, June 12th. (12:44) You've got the Summer Carnival over at Mid-South Bank. Open and free and family friendly from noon to 3. There's going to be ice cream. There's going to be food. There's going to be games and prizes and all sorts of fun stuff over at Mid-South from noon to 3 on Friday, June 12th. (13:02) And then also that same night, the big Patriotic Drone Show happening out at the Rigdon Center, formerly known as the Fairgrounds. Show set for around 8.45 p.m. And parking for tailgating and getting those lawn chairs out in the field behind the Rigdon Center will begin at 7 p.m. (13:22) So don't miss out on those two fun events coming up two weeks from tomorrow, Friday, June 12th. A tragic incident happened at a Missouri rock festival. A fun night turned tragic after a 28-year-old girl, Danielle Uskiewicz, died from injuries she suffered when a crowd surfer accidentally kicked her in the head during a concert. (13:49) Now, ironically, the same thing happened to my wife back when she was in high school at a rock festival. That explains a lot. It kind of does. You know, you've got to pay attention when somebody's overhead. Just saying. Yeah. Danielle had been attending Point Fest near St. Louis on May 16th, watching the band Sleep Theory perform when the incident happened. (14:11) Now, at first, she thought everything was okay and didn't realize how serious the injury actually was. But days later, she developed severe headaches and ended up in the hospital where doctors discovered a brain bleed. Her condition quickly worsened and she suffered two strokes and underwent emergency surgery after doctors found major bleeding and blood clots. (14:32) Her family said that doctors also discovered an underlying medical condition during surgery that may have made things even more dangerous. Danielle was placed into a medically induced coma, but despite efforts to save her life, she died on Tuesday this week, May 26th, ten days after the concert accident. (14:50) Now, friends and family remembered Danielle as warm, funny, and full of life. She worked as a school attendant secretary, loved music and hockey, and had recently gotten engaged with plans to marry next year. In one final act of generosity, her family chose to donate her organs so that others could have a second chance at life. (15:10) But yeah, crowd surfing. Dangerous. And not just for the guy that's surfing, but for the people below. So, kind of a sad story there. But when I said it was around St. Louis, you kind of went, hmm. (15:26) Was there? Yeah, well, I mean, St. Louis explains a lot. I know. You don't have much love lost for the city of St. Louis. Not really. All right. We're about 22, 23 minutes away from asking Uncle Bobby for advice this morning. (15:44) Stick tight. We'll get to that here in just a little bit. We've got some more local news to get to and some national headlines to dive into as well. So, stay with us. We've got lots to talk about in the next hour and 40 minutes, I believe. (15:59) Also, Nicole from the Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers will be joining us for a break next hour as well. We'll talk about what's new in the world of crime stopping right here on the Emerald Coast. Hopefully, they're still stopping it. (16:14) Well, I was trying to take a spin off of your Tomcat tagline. It didn't work. Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers. We'll talk to them. Learn what's new about crime stopping on the Emerald Coast. Kind of like Tomcat Custom Apparel doing custom apparel byTomCat. (16:30) Yeah. Yeah, it didn't work. A for effort, Schuyler. A for effort. No, I did not say that. Got the police, the Scorpions, and the Georgia satellites all heading up next break right here on 100.3 KROCK. (16:45) I'm Omni Broadcasting Meteorologist Jennifer Wojcicki with your updated forecast. Chance of thunderstorms today. Otherwise, cloudy skies with a few peaks of sun. Highs level off around 85. Southwest winds 5 to 10 miles per hour. (17:01) Slight chance for storms tonight. Lows level off around 73. Mainly cloudy skies expected. Cloudy skies with a few peaks of sun. Tomorrow, chance of thunderstorms. Daytime highs approaching 86. I'm Omni Broadcasting's Meteorologist Jennifer Wojcicki. (17:16) You can always look, but you can't, well, you can touch, but there might be consequences with that. Yeah, just ask a few people. Georgia satellites on the BT Morning Show this Thursday morning. (17:31) It's 100.3 KROCK. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell brought to you by our friends at Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, as well as Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Showers today will be very isolated, and we're expecting a lot of those showers to really be north of the I-10 corridor. (17:50) So down here, south Okaloosa County, maybe a sprinkle or two, but nothing really widespread today. Chance of storms re-firing up for the weekend is forecast, but we'll get details on that here in just a little bit. (18:06) Well, if you remember last summer, the Air Force announced that they were no longer going to be operating the Eglin Golf Course. Right. And they have selected the American Dunes Foundation to lease and redevelop Eglin Golf Course and surrounding property through its Enhanced Use Lease Program, marking a major step forward in plans first announced in 2025. (18:32) Now, the project could include improvements across up to 603 acres at Eglin Air Force Base, with the foundation responsible for financing, development, construction, maintenance, and operations of the golf facilities and related property. (18:47) The Air Force said the partnership is intended to revitalize underused land while generating economic benefits for both the military and the selected developer. The announcement follows earlier efforts to seek public or private redevelopment proposals after operational challenges and rising maintenance costs led to the closure of portions of the golf complex. (19:09) So that came out yesterday. It'll be interesting to see what takes place and how that looks here in the future. Also in other news, the 23rd annual Bob Hope Memorial Charity Golf Classic at the Fort Walton Uni Golf Course drew 144 golfers and raised over $105,000 for the Air Force Enlisted Village. (19:38) Yeah, there you go. Look at that. Good work, everybody, on that. Presented by the USAA, the event, as I said, drew 144 golfers to the Pines course on day one. With teams flighted for day two competition, the tournament concluded with an awards luncheon recognizing champions, contest winners, and the sponsors who supported the event. (19:59) Yeah, thanks for everybody who played in that tournament and continuing doing the good work that they are doing. Alright, is Uncle Bobby getting primed? Sure. Let's go with that. Are you excited for today's question? (20:17) Yeah, well, we'll see. Mmm. We'll see, he says. That's not a yes. That's not a no. I guess that's a we'll see. Kind of like he said. (20:32) Seems. I tell you, you're adding so much to the show this morning. Burn it down. CCR and up around the bend on 100.3 KROCK. We've just about made it around the bend to 8 o'clock. (20:48) It's the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. 12 in front of 8, which means it's time for, well, this music and your daily advice. That's right. It's time for Ask Uncle Bobby. (21:03) All stitched together byTomCat Custom Apparel. That's right, byTomCat Custom Apparel, reminding you that summer's here. It's time to sweat together, but you should look good doing it. That happens with custom hats and tees byTomCat Custom Apparel. (21:19) Now proud owners of Red 7 Tees. And they'll do even custom swim trunks for you for the summer. That's true. Could be done. I've got to pay her myself. All right, Uncle Bobby, today your question comes in from Captain Snack Delay. (21:35) Dear Uncle Bobby, I procrastinate constantly and I eat a lot of junk food, especially late at night. How can I turn these habits into something productive instead of feeling like they're ruining my life? Look, first of all, you got to stop calling it ruin. (21:53) OK, ruin is what happens to civilizations, not to a person who keeps a close spiritual relationship with chips in the next episode. All right. Now, listen, procrastination is not a flaw. It's strategic avoidance. See, your brain is circling the runway waiting for the perfect moment to land. (22:10) And you keep yelling at it for not crashing immediately into productivity like some kind of motivational maniac. Look, here's the philosophy. You do not fight it like a hero in a cheap movie. You lean in and assign it a job. (22:26) Look, look, here's what you do. All right. You rebrand your binge watching as research. See, every show is a case study in human failure, negotiation, deception, romance and poor decisions. (22:41) I mean, which means you're basically getting a graduate degree in consequences. How about that? And the junk food? Well, look, that's not snacking. That's a brainstorming ritual. See, you do not have a late night eating problem. You have a idea incubation schedule that happens to be sponsored by sodium. (23:00) And when you feel the urge to procrastinate, you do not fight it like that hero. Like I said, you got to lean in. Okay? Pretty soon, while you avoid the main task, you're going to open a notes app and jot down every thought you have about how you could do it later, better, or with maximum drama. (23:23) See, pretty soon, you've got outlines, titles, angles, contingency plans built entirely out of avoidance and crumbs. See, guilt still shows up, of course, but because it loves being included. (23:38) But now, it has to watch you accidentally build a life like a raccoon assembling a throne out of, well, stolen shinies. So yeah, embrace that chaos. You're not lazy. You're an unlicensed innovator operating in shadows. (23:55) And society is just mad. You are doing it in sweatpants with a snack fog hovering around your head. Fair enough. Captain Snack Delay. I hope that clears up any questions you may have had. (24:10) Uncle Bobby, thanks for your response. And of course, we do this every single morning right around 745, all stitched together by our friends byTomCat Custom Apparel. By Tomcat Custom Apparel, where the apparel is custom and made for you. That was smooth. (24:26) News is next. I want to celebrate. Why? Because it's almost Friday and it's a short week. Is that why? Uh-huh. Can you believe that when we come back on Monday, it's June? (24:42) Yeah. Wild. Crazy how fast this year's going. Don't forget, this is the summer of 250. That is true. Big, big summer in our country's history. So, of course, make sure you sport that red, white, and blue all summer long. (25:01) Good morning, everybody. Hope you're doing well. Schuyler Black, Bobby Dewrell on a Thursday, the 28th of May. We're at 79 degrees, mostly cloudy skies right here in Destin-Fort Walton Beach. A high today of about 85, as we mentioned last hour. (25:17) You're probably going to start seeing more construction crews right around the Cinco Bayou Bridge on Eglin Parkway, State Road 85. That construction you'll see there is part of storm drain work for runoff, which is very important for resurfacing a road and rebuilding a road. (25:39) That is going to be the start of that right around Cinco Bayou Bridge, all part of that $11.6 million project to repave Eglin Parkway. Well, Bobby, a story out of Volusia County. (25:54) Sheriff down there is warning parents that they could face criminal charges if their kids take part in destructive teen takeovers. Now, these apparently are large chaotic gatherings that have recently caused fights, vandalism, and violence in parts of the state. (26:12) Sheriff Mike Chitwood said some of the events have involved hundreds of teenagers swarming beaches, parking lots, and shopping areas, leading to property damage, assaults, and dangerous behavior. He said parents who knowingly allow it or fail to supervise minors could be held responsible. (26:30) Chitwood said authorities are considering charges like contributing to the delinquency of a minor or even civil liability for damages caused during the gatherings. He argued that many parents are ignoring what their kids are doing online and at night. (26:46) The sheriff also warned teens that arrests and criminal records could follow them for years, saying law enforcement plans to aggressively crack down on future takeover events before they spiral out of control. And I have not been made aware of anything like that happening here in northwest Florida, especially Okaloosa County. (27:08) But that has been a thing happening down down in the peninsula. Volusia County saying, yeah, we're done with it. Parents, we're holding you responsible as well. But I guess if we had any questions on, you know, tips coming in like that, we could ask Nicole from Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers who actually just walked in the door a few minutes ago. (27:28) OK, so we could do that. Well, we'll chat with her in about 10 minutes to give us tips on crime. Well, on how to commit crime. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's exactly what we brought her in for. Don't stop. Never stop. That's all I'm saying. (27:43) That confused the hell out of me, Bobby. We've got Nicole from Crime Stoppers joining us here in just about 10 minutes. Right now, the Stones jumping Jack Flash on 100.3 KROCK. Motley Crue on 100.3 KROCK. It's Thursday morning, 19 minutes after 8 o'clock. (28:03) Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell, the B Team Morning Show brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, as well as Okaloosa Gas at Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. And Bobby, there is something that is outside that we haven't seen much all week long. What's that? A couple of rays of sunshine. (28:19) I don't know. It sounds like you're trying to tip somebody off. Oh, well, that's that's why Nicole Hodgkins came in. That's called a nice segway. That's called a tie-in. That was really good. He's been trying these all day and they haven't worked. So I just thought I'd throw one out there for him and show him how they work. (28:35) He gave me a T-ball. I got a single. I got a single. Yeah. Nicole from Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers joining us this morning. Good to see you. Good to see you. And it is nice to have some sunshine for once. In a very long time. It's been a little while. (28:51) Well, you know, Schuyler was just singing it yesterday. Nicole, when you're not here, he said there's no sunshine. Seeing you guys are the greatest, I'm going to have to come along. This is great. Nice morning. If you bring sunshine every day, you can stop by every day. That's fine. No problem at all. (29:07) Well, what's new with Crime Stoppers these days? Well, we're actually about to celebrate our 30th anniversary next year. We're planning a big luncheon, kind of a law enforcement appreciation luncheon. But we started in 1997 here in Okaloosa County, so we're almost at 30 years. (29:22) And I don't know if people know it, but we also cover Walton County. So we have the two counties that we cover, and we work with about 9 to 10 different police municipalities and sheriffs in both counties. So you talk about Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers, and you say you've been around for almost 30 years. (29:37) How have you been around? Is it fundraising? Is it grants? What pays the bills for Crime Stoppers? It is a little bit of both, and that's actually a very good question, because that's one of the most common misconceptions about Crime Stoppers, is that it's not a taxpayer-dollar-funded organization. (29:52) It's actually run by a volunteer board of directors. We have what's called a Crime Stoppers Trust Fund through the state of Florida. The legislature back in 1998 actually enacted it. What it is, I like to call it a user fee because it's $20 can be levied by a judge for every criminal offense, not a traffic offense. (30:10) So if you get caught speeding, you're not the one helping fund Crime Stoppers. But if you do get arrested and charged, you are given a fine and part of that money comes to Crime Stoppers programs in the state of Florida, which helps us pay rewards. And then we do do a lot of fundraising as well. So a little bit of both. (30:27) And we were just talking off the air about rewards and folks that call in and give tips that eventually lead to arrest and charges and convictions. And that like one in four is actually claiming the money. (30:44) It's actually a very surprising statistics. Last year, our board of directors approved $26,000 in rewards and 5,400 of that was actually claimed or picked up. And that's less than 22%, I believe. All of it was claimed in the last five minutes because Bobby said he would dig it. (31:00) That's right. Yeah, it's 100% claim rate now. Yeah, and that's a nationwide actually statistics. So it's really, it's heartwarming to know that people are doing it to do the right thing and give information that'll help solve a crime or locate a wanted fugitives, get some illegal drugs off the streets. (31:17) And they don't necessarily want a reward. They just want the bad guy off the street. And you brought in some statistics and numbers for us. I did. Bobby loves a good survey and statistics. Yeah, and I won't go into a lot of detail about some of them but these are just some of the highlights. (31:32) Our 2025 year stats, we had over 1,300 tips which led to 58 arrests and cleared, I believe, 85 cases for our local law enforcement partners. And again, like I said, $26,000 in rewards approved and only 5,400 claimed. (31:49) Wow. Yeah. Yeah. It's surprising. It's always surprising when I tell people that. Yeah, it's very surprising. And we try to get them their money too. We let them know. I mean, there's days they can call in. Of course, we have a tip software program where we can contact them encrypted two-way communication to let them know. (32:05) And a lot of times we never hear back from any of them. Interesting. Very interesting. So you work with a number of different law enforcement agencies since you cover two counties and it's not just sheriff's offices that you work with. That's correct. You're working with municipality PDs. All the police department. It's actually not just local. (32:21) I have worked with U.S. Marshal Service, the FBI. I've worked with Interpol. I have had so many years doing this now that I've worked with a multitude of law enforcement agencies. We work with the Florida Highway Patrol too. We've helped them with some hit and runs. We helped them with a gentleman who was speeding on a bike, fleeing and eluding. (32:36) And we got some good pictures of him and we identified him quickly, thanks to some tips. Motorcycle. Yes. He was actually a wild bike. Okay. Okay. I'm sorry. He pedals really fast. Bike. Sorry. Wait. Wait, what? (32:52) Motorcycle. I didn't know Lance Armstrong was in Okaloosa County. It was a motorcycle. But yeah, he was actually a very well-dressed man. I remember when we put it on our social media, everybody talked about how well-dressed he was to be on his motorcycle going down, fleeing and eluding Florida Highway Patrol. (33:08) But we helped them identify him. And it's been such a big push of the Trump administration this second term of immigration. Are you, do you work at all with ICE or CBP? Have you worked with them in the past? We haven't worked directly with them. (33:24) A lot of ours goes through Homeland Security of the local law enforcement agency, if we do get a lot of those. But we haven't seen a lot of the immigration tips really. And I know, you know, the federal level, they have kind of their own tipping avenues and things like that. We've had some, but we haven't had a lot. (33:39) So are there cases out there right now that are a big push for you to try to generate tips and leads on? I'll tell you what, there's one that has haunted me since I've been doing this for 25 years with Crime Stoppers. And there's one that haunts me. And that's the Andrea Dering missing persons case. (33:57) She was actually, we did a national podcast with her case. She disappeared, I believe it was 1990. And of course, I'm about her age. So I went to middle school with her. And she disappeared from some apartments in Fort Walton Beach in the Ocean City area. (34:12) And she just kind of vanished without a trace. And there's never been really any information about who took her, you know, what happened. And of course, back then we didn't have ring cameras. We didn't have all these, you know, video surveillance that we might be able to see her, but she's never popped up. We've gotten numerous tips over the years and we just haven't been able to clear that case. (34:30) And that's one that's very near and dear to me. And we'll never give up. That was back in 90? 1990, yes. Wow, 36 years. In February of 1990 is when she disappeared, so. Long time. Yeah. No, not for some of us. Well. (34:45) Well, you know, I'm, I'm. When Bobby was in high school, I think. Just before my graduation, yeah. I was in high school myself as well, so I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna throw shade. I mean, maybe some of us in the room weren't born, Schuyler. (35:00) Oh, gosh. Yeah, I was, that was about three years before me. But if there's other cases out there that are currently unsolved or are cold, and somebody may have a tip, what's the best way for them to reach out? (35:15) Sure, so we have three pretty simple, secure ways you can reach out to us. You can call our tip line, 24 hours a day. All of these are actually 24 hours a day, and that's 863-TIPS. We have the website, emeraldcoastcrimestoppers.com. You can submit a web tip. And the most popular method that we now have is a mobile tip that you can submit via the P3 Tips app, and you can find that in your app store. (35:38) When I started this 25 years ago, I was answering a phone in my office that said, do not answer, so that nobody else picked it up. And then we went from text tipping to web tipping, and now we've got the mobile tips, which is really nice because I can actually have two-way dialogue with a tipster, because a lot of times they'll send a tip in, and it's kind of vague, and an investigator or a deputy will come to me and say, hey, can you try to get a little more information, and I can communicate with this tipster back and forth completely anonymously. (36:04) So it's been very, very helpful that way. And that's, I would say 80% of our tips come through the mobile tip. All right, multiple ways. And you've got a website too, right? Yes, emeraldcoastcrimestoppers.com, and you can see our wanted fugitives as well as some of our cases on there. Now I'm gonna go check it out. (36:20) As long as I don't see my face there, I feel like I'm okay. Well, that's a pretty flattering picture. Is it? Mugshots usually are. Oh yeah, they all look good. I've seen some pretty good ones, though. Well, Nicole from Crimestoppers, thanks so much for joining us this morning, and you're gonna head across, or down the hall, to be with... (36:38) Sister Station. Our jewel. Yeah, our crown jewel. Crown jewel, yeah. Dan Diamond. Let's go with that. Bobby doesn't like my nickname for him. Well, it's a little gay. All right, we're gonna take a break. (36:54) Sorry to our LGBs out there. Larry Garyberry. That's right. All right, it's 828, we'll take a break. A look at your forecast is next. Skinner down the way after this. Little request and dedication right there, going out to Nate and Melissa Van Adder. (37:10) I knew you were gonna say that. Every time. Well, I mean, he calls her Sweet Melissa. That's his name for her. There you go, it's just fitting. I wonder if he got the idea from the Allman Brothers. Probably. Yeah, I would say so. That's exactly why he calls her Sweet Melissa. (37:27) What's the only idea Nate's ever had, beer? I don't even think that was his idea. Shout out to Nate Van Adder, owner of Props Brewery, this morning. That's right, love you Nate, mean it. (37:43) Do we? That's what you have to say. Okay, yeah. It's the BT Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station, Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell. Has Las Vegas lost its title as Sin City? (38:00) I don't know, has it? Well, New York City has officially been named the most sinful city in America. Well, there you go. Yeah, in a new study, ranking places by things like gambling, nightlife, drinking, adult entertainment, and other vices. Well, let's see what happens when you put a Muslim in charge. (38:16) There you go. New York's gone to hell and it only took six months because of Zoran Mamdani. Now the report, released by Wallet Hub and highlighted by Time Out New York, said New York City topped the list because of its huge number of casinos, strip clubs, bars, nightlife spots, and overall temptation economy. (38:37) Vegas came in second, followed by Houston, Philly, and LA, routing out the top five. Researchers looked at dozens of factors tied to the classic seven deadly sins, including greed, lust, gluttony, vanity, and laziness. (38:53) So, New York City, now, now is Sin City. Yeah, there you go. All right, Bobby and I are getting out of here in just about six minutes. Can you believe nine o'clock's just around the corner? (39:10) Just around the corner. First of all, before we say goodbye, music from Zeppelin on KROCK. That Led Zeppelin kind of likes that chord in this song. Clearly. Next time we play it, we're gonna do a pitch counter on how many times we hear it. (39:30) It's 8.49, it's time for us to get on out of here.
