National Cocktail Day: Why Tom Mason Needs a Bloody Mary Before 8 AM
Description
We tackled the hard-hitting issues today—like whether flock cameras are Big Brother or just really good at catching meth-heads in stolen F-150s, and why squatters get more legal protection than hotel guests who won't leave (spoiler: nobody knows, not even us).

Show Notes
Schuyler Black and Tom Mason held down the fort this morning on 100.3 KROCK, Fort Walton Beach's classic rock station — and honestly, we're starting to wonder if Bobby Dewrell is ever coming back from his international vacation (spoiler: he is, but we're milking this while we can). The Emerald Coast got a chillier-than-expected Tuesday morning with temps at 60 and humidity mercifully dropping from yesterday's swampy 97% down to a crisp 56%. We kicked things off with National Chocolate Covered Raisins Day and the International Day for Achievers, which we decided is the perfect B Team holiday because we celebrate mediocrity like it's an Olympic sport. Tom delivered a scathing monologue about productivity culture that would make your HR department weep — because if you're not crushing it, are you even really living? (Spoiler: yes, and probably happier for it.)
We also celebrated National Cheesesteak Day with all the reverence of a late-night drunk food run, then discovered a mysterious Fort Walton eatery called Two Brothers and a Chick at 701 Beal that apparently serves the best cheesesteak in town (right next to the massage parlor, naturally). National Cocktail Day inspired us to beg listeners to bring Bloody Marys to the studio in exchange for on-air fame — because nothing says "professional radio" like day-drinking at 7 a.m. Speaking of sponsors, Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach kept us fueled and funded while we stumbled through the morning. Also, don't miss the Fourth Annual Ride for the Arc of the Emerald Coast this Saturday — a poker run starting at 10:30 a.m. at the Niceville American Legion, raising about 15 grand annually for a great cause (and featuring a 2005 Honda Shadow 750 chopper as a grand prize).
Tom stepped into the "Ask Uncle Tom" segment with advice about wardrobe disasters — specifically, what to do when your wife hits you with the dreaded "Is that what you're wearing?" (Answer: never say "What's wrong with it?" Just nod, change, and live to dress another day.) We covered some serious ground too: a fatal crash at the intersection of Woodmont Road and Hilton Drive in Navarre last night, the tragic LaGuardia Airport collision between an air Canada jet and a fire truck (where the controller's audio revealed a heartbreaking "I messed up"), and how Flock license plate reader cameras helped Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office recover a stolen Ford F-150 and nab a meth-toting suspect. Tom and Schuyler debated the merits of surveillance tech — Tom's skeptical about handing over liberties, Schuyler's warming up to it for crime-solving efficiency — and honestly, it's the kind of nuanced conversation you don't expect sandwiched between CCR and AC/DC.
Rounding out the weirdness: a Northern California man got six years for breaking into a woman's home to lick and bite her toes (because of course), a Florida man was arrested for trespassing in a hotel while wearing a stolen inmate uniform (Florida gonna Florida), and we pondered why squatters get more legal protection than hotel trespassers (seriously, what's the deal with that?). Alabama Crimson Tide fans, mark your calendars for Friday night's Sweet 16 matchup against Michigan at 6:35 p.m. on 103.7 The Ticket. And remember, folks: cameras are everywhere, chairs are squeaky, and Bobby's got 12 hours of airplane purgatory ahead of him while we do all the heavy lifting. Tune in tomorrow for more classic rock, questionable life advice, and the ongoing saga of who stole our studio chairs. KROCK on, Emerald Coast.

(03:25) And I feel like this is a perfect B Team holiday this morning, And I feel like this is a perfect B Team holiday this morning, because we strive for good enough. because we strive for good enough. You would never call us over-achievers. You would never call us over-achievers. (03:41) Today is the International Day for Achievers. Today is the International Day for Achievers. It does fit the B Team perfectly. It sure does. It's that one day of the year when we glorify the relentless grind, the nonstop hustle, and the insufferable pursuit of success, as if it were something worth celebrating. (03:59) as if it were something worth celebrating. It's a day to pat yourself on the back for checking off every item on your to-do list, as if the mere existence with a semblance of productivity as if the mere existence with a semblance of productivity makes you a shining beacon of human accomplishment. makes you a shining beacon of human accomplishment. Forget about balance, self-care, or god forbid relaxation, Day for Achievers is all about flexing your achievements, Day for Achievers is all about flexing your achievements, even if those achievements are just finishing your laundry or updating your LinkedIn profile for the fifth time this week. (04:27) So go ahead, wear your productivity like a crown, So go ahead, wear your productivity like a crown, and remember, if you're not crushing it, are you even really living? Wow. The International Day for Achievers. That's today. That was a lot to say. (04:43) It was. I don't know where these things are coming from, but you're putting me to the test. You've got to take a breath in there once in a while. No. Alright, stay with us. We're going to take a break and look at your marine forecast. We're going to take a break and look at your marine forecast. (04:59) It's on the way next on 100.3 KROCK. It's the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Tom Mason back at it on a terrific Tom Tuesday. Yeah. Terrific Tom Tuesday. Hey, how's it going to go when the other guy comes back and you have to say his name? (05:17) Because you've gotten really good at saying Schuyler and Tom. I mean, I'm telling you, you're nailing it. It'll just continue to be Schuyler and Tom. Bobby's sitting in this morning. Yeah, Bobby, the benchwarmer. He does need to be a benchwarmer for his first few days. (05:33) The Bob Warmer. Back from the minor leagues, got to earn his place back in the starting rotation again. That's right, exactly. Especially it's something this grandiose. You just don't get to be a headliner that quick. (05:49) I understand he was out for injury and then he went through rehab and he went AAA. Yeah. We can keep him in AAA. The salary's too much to keep a guy in AAA. Because once you get to the show, you get paid at the show level, right? (06:09) So I'm there. You are. We've already got payroll figured out for it. So then we have to go back to payroll and chain up. We'll just keep him at the AAA pay. I think so. We'll keep you at the... Alright, I'm good with that. (06:25) Okay. Who's going to tell him? You. You deliver the news, Tom. Now I feel like, what's her name in that movie? The Devil Wears Prada. (06:43) Emily, I want you to tell the other Emily that she's done. Today on the National Day calendar, it's National Cheesesteak Day. Ooh, it's a good one. Sounds good for breakfast. (06:59) Man, now I'm hungry. I want a cheesesteak. Where can we get one in this town? I don't know. Cheesesteak Day is a day dedicated... You're going to look it up while I'm reading, right? It's a day dedicated to glorifying a sandwich as basically a greasy, cheesy heart attack on a bun. (07:15) Because what's life without heartburn and questionable life choices? It's the day when people act like eating cheese with a side of greasy fries is a cultural experience worthy of an entire day of reverence. Forget about nutrition, taste, balance, or the fact that this monstrosity is more likely to clog your arteries than elevate your mood. (07:37) On Cheesesteak Day, it's all about shoving as much beef and cheese into your face as humanly possible. That's really, really bad. While pretending the pile of onions and peppers somehow makes it gourmet. So go ahead, celebrate this culinary triumph with all the dignity of a late-night drunk food run, and try not to think about the years of being shaved off your life with each bite. (08:03) God, that was hilarious. Wow. I'm still hungry. And I love it. I'm still hungry. And I looked it up. Where's the best cheesesteak in Fort Walton? I've never heard of this place. (08:19) Two brothers and a chick. You ever heard of it? Nope. 701 Beal. It should be right up here. Yeah. Huh. Well, check it out. Because we're at 652. So... Oh, it's right... no. I was going to say it's right next door. (08:35) No, that's the massage parlor. Well, you know, beef and cheese shoving your face. I think you already did. It's the BT Morning Show on a Tuesday. Holy smokes. ACDC coming up after Pink Floyd on 100.3 KROCK. (08:53) ACDC. Shoot to thrill on 100.3 KROCK. Don't forget, coming up on Saturday, it's our fourth annual ride for the Arc of the Emerald Coast. A big Arc of the Emerald Coast poker run this Saturday, starting at 10.30 at the Niceville American Legion. (09:13) This thing raises about 15 grand a year for the Arc, and it all goes towards a great cause. We want to thank our sponsors, including Eglin Federal Credit Union, Florida Power and Light, and of course the Niceville American Legion for organizing it and putting it together. (09:29) It's open to the public, $15 per vehicle and $10 per passenger. So don't miss out. Motorcycles, cars, trucks, jeeps, convertibles, doesn't matter. You're all welcome to join in. We've got more details on the events tab at thebeteamshow.com. (09:45) Now, Tom, we've got one last holiday to reveal this morning, and I think after the first hour of this show, it's not too early to indulge. No? We can start? Yeah, you can start. It's National Cocktail Day. (10:01) I said you can start. I can start. Uh-huh. Not you? No. I'll wait. Those shirts are gonna be hell today. Yeah, National Cocktail Day because nothing screams sophistication like celebrating the art of throwing random alcohol syrups and fruit garnishes into a glass and pretending you're a mixologist. It's the day when we collectively forget about the 14 weeks of detox promises we made on New Year's Eve and return to our true calling, sipping on brightly colored concoctions that are 40% booze, 60% sugar, and 100% guaranteed to give you a headache by 3 p.m. National Cocktail Day is the perfect excuse to drink something with an umbrella in it while pretending to appreciate the craft of your local bartender, all while desperately trying to remember how to spell Negroni in between tequila shots. So cheers to that. National Cocktail Day. That's cool. (10:58) So what do you want? Uh, you know, at this time of the day I usually start with a Bloody Mary, so yeah, here we go. That's uh, that's breakfast. Didn't we try to get somebody to bring in Bloody Marys last week and that didn't work either? And it didn't work. Yeah. So let's try again. Okay, let's try one more time. Stop by the station on Beale and bring us Bloody Marys. Yeah, on National Cocktail Day. And if you do that, we'll put you on the air in seven o'clock hour. (11:23) There you go. What could be better than that? You may actually run the show the rest of the morning. That's right. Put them on the board. This is our new promotion called Famous for a Day. It's all about you, man. All stitched together by TomCat Custom Apparel. Yeah, all you gotta do is bring in, bring in a Bloody Mary. That's it. We'll put you on there. That's it. That's all you have to do. Okay. Yeah, it's almost seven in the morning. I know. That's kind of bad. (11:49) It's kind of bad. Stay with us. We'll take a break. Local news coming up and more Classic Rock just around the corner on 100.3 KROCK. Where do you think you're going? More rock. Next. 100.3 KROCK. (12:06) Boston on 100.3 KROCK, the Classic Rock station. How are you doing, Emerald Coast? It's Tuesday morning, six minutes after seven. Scott Lairblank and Tom Mesa, the B Team Morning Show is on the air. It certainly felt chillier this morning than it did yesterday. Yeah, it did. And the temperature is still at 60, but the humidity seemed to be significantly lower this morning. (12:33) Significantly lower this morning than it was yesterday morning. Because yesterday, I think it was at 97. Yeah, it was high yesterday morning. And I had to, you know, my windshield was all fogged up yesterday. This morning, it was not. Right. So I don't know. Yeah, it might be it because it does feel chillier. Feels chillier. And you got a northeast wind this morning. (12:54) And so you're getting a little drier northern air pushing in. But a high of 77 today, 73 tomorrow, 77 Thursday and 81 on Friday. So it'll be plenty of sun this week. Yeah. (13:12) And temps are very comfortable here in the first full week of spring. B Team Morning Show is brought to you by our friends at Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, as well as Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. A quick update for you. A tidbit. WEAR Channel 3 in Pensacola reported this morning that last night roads were closed in Navarre after a fatal crash happened around 8.40 p.m. last night at the intersection of Woodmont Road and Hilton Drive. Florida Highway Patrol reported that the area was blocked while crews responded to and worked the scene, but no other details have been released thus far. So if you live out in the Navarre area and you saw emergency crews and personnel working that accident, that's all we have on that this morning. (14:04) Also, man, how about that crash up at LaGuardia? Yeah, man, that was tough. There was a video that surfaced this morning showing the actual accident, and it was tough to watch that. You know, it's tough from the controller's standpoint, too. I understand he was, you know, a single guy, I mean, one guy in a tower working, you know, at that time period, and, you know, it can get pretty overwhelming. I've never done it. I've been up there. I've seen what goes on. I know what happens, and yeah, but yeah, you would know that that just had to be a terrible feeling to see something like that happen right in front of you. Yeah, the federal investigation into Sunday night's fatal collision between a jet and fire truck at LaGuardia Airport will take a while to unfold, but newly released audio captured the moments before and after the crash, and controller says I messed up. Yeah, yeah. The fire truck had received permission to cross the runway in response to a separate emergency reported on a different plane, but the mistake was soon spotted. Stop truck one, stop, a controller says, trying multiple times to get the truck to halt. Now, roughly 20 minutes after the air candidate plane hit the truck at a speed of about 100 miles an hour, the audio captured an exchange between a controller and a Frontier Airlines pilot. (15:28) The pilot said that wasn't good to watch, he tells the controller, which has a link to the recording itself. Controller responds, yeah, I know I was here. I tried to reach out and we were dealing with an emergency earlier. I messed up. And pilot said, no, man, you did the best you could. Yeah, the pilot and copilot of the air Canada plane with 70 passengers aboard were killed and dozens were taken to hospitals. Most, though, were released by morning hours yesterday. Yeah, yeah, just a terrible, terrible tragedy up there. Yeah, feel for those people. I'm sure, I'm sure the investigation is just getting underway. Yeah, yeah, it'll be, uh, take a while, like an onion, lots of layers to peel back. Oh yeah. Especially with this one, you know, when you talk about old being overworked and like I said, just one guy in the tower, if that's, if that's the case, uh, that, that was one of the reports I heard. So we'll see where it, uh, see where it ends up when it all, all gets unfolded and figured out. Absolutely. All right. We've got lots to get to this morning. Of course, uh, we're going to ask uncle Tom for advice here in about 35 minutes. Yeah. Uh huh. You've, you've done a really good job with that. Well, it's a, some big shoes to fill. Not really. I know. I tried to say that with a straight face. Yeah. Like big shoes, like a youth size four. I did my best. Stay with this Robert Palmer and triumph on the way right now. Deep purple, a magic power from triumph on 100.3 KROCK. The magic power of cameras are watching you all the time, all the time. It, uh, yeah. Thank God they weren't there 30, 40 years ago. What were you doing, Tom? Well, uh, since there were no cameras, anything that you did, is there, what's the statute of limitations on it? Oh, it's long past. Okay. Yeah. Long past. (17:26) Yeah. Spill the beans. Nothing like that. Well, thankfully there were no cameras, so there's no evidence. So we'll just leave it at that. Oh, it's all hearsay. Yeah. It's all how I remember it. Yeah. Yeah. Just, yeah. I don't, I don't recall everything. (17:43) Everything was completely on the up and up. I can guarantee it. Yeah. With you. Absolutely. Yeah. There was nothing nefarious about anything that I did. Not a bit. No, no, not at all. That's, that's why you, you do a volunteer morning show. Yeah. Volunteer. When did, when did that start? (17:59) Okay. Just this week, right? This volun, voluntold. Gotcha. Voluntold morning show. Voluntold. Yeah. Filling in for some, you know, I gotta say, I noticed you're working a lot this morning. You're, I mean, you're, you're, you're over there making me sweat. You're doing so much filling work for somebody that was supposed to do stuff before he left. Actually, it's nice to hear you recognize the efforts that I put in to make all of this come to fruition. Yeah. Well, this doesn't just happen, you know, some guys that take two week long international trips. Yeah. (18:35) Just poof. Yeah. And then relax on an airplane. Probably got a drink in his hand. Yeah. You know, plenty of leg room, griping about the people next to him and the kids around him and everything like that. And yeah. And you're in here putting this together. It's, it ain't right. It's not fair. No, no, no, it's not. It's not fair at all. There's nothing right about this. (18:57) I want my do rail reparations. So the whole reason I brought up cameras are watching. Oh, I'm sorry. No, no, no, you're good. Squirrel. Yeah. But I had a conversation with Sheriff Hayden a couple months ago in regards to some of the pushback on flock cameras. Okay. But here's an instance that actually proves that the flock cameras are a valuable asset. So here in Okaloosa County, a license plate reader alert led deputies with the Okaloosa County Sheriff's office to recover a stolen blue Ford F-150 in Niceville and arrest the driver on theft and drug charges. Authorities conducted a traffic stop near a highway 285 and college Boulevard after receiving a flock alert on the vehicle, which had been reported stolen from Valparaiso when it was not returned to a rental. (19:59) The driver, 49-year-old Eric Davis, was taken into custody and a search of the truck uncovered a small amount of meth. He now faces charges of grand theft of a motor vehicle and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, with assistance provided by the Northwest Florida State College of Public Safety. (20:21) So, um, yeah. And the fact of the matter is, is like, even if you don't like flock cameras, there's cameras everywhere. People have dash cams. Every house you drive by these days has some sort of camera, whether it's a ring or security system. There's always eyes on you somewhere. Sure. Yeah. And so, um, yeah, I, I wasn't a big fan of a police state, right? (20:57) Of seeing everything. But, um, I do think it helps them solve cases a lot faster. Sure. Less resources. Yeah. Uh, recover stolen property back to, back to the rightful owner. (21:14) Right. So I understand why some people may not, may not be supportive of it, but I think I've actually changed my opinion. Yeah. And, uh, become a little more favorable of them. I'm, uh, I'm not a fan. Not a fan. No, not really. I, I, I'm, I think that every time you hand over control of something, there are liberties that you lose and you never know where that's going to end up. And that, and that's, that's the bad part. Um, there's a lot of people out there. There's a lot of bad actors out there that will miss you, stuff like this. (21:50) And it's unfortunate that, uh, that it does happen because so much good can come of it. But, um, but I'm just, uh, I'm always skeptical of some of the new technology and stuff like that and what it offers, because I think we lose a little bit of our independence when, when, uh, when you give that up. And I, I actually agree with that and I respect that. And I don't think it's the technology. It's the problem. It's the humans that control the technology. Oh, absolutely. That are the problem. It's always a human issue. Absolutely. It's never, it's never a technology issue. It's never a gun issue, right? It's never a knife issue. Yeah. It's never a vehicle issue. It's the operator, right? The person that has their finger on the trigger or what they do with it. You know, when it comes down to, uh, you know, they talk about some of the school cameras and stuff like that, then the things that are going on, you know, there's a company that runs that, what are they doing with that information? You know, they've got, they've got traffic patterns, they've got, uh, you know, plate recognition and face recognition and, and, you know, things that, things that they can track you and where you are and where you're going. And it may seem benign, but in the, in the end, when they sell that data to somebody else, that's where, you know, you end up, like I said, losing some of your liberties and stuff like that. (23:13) And, and is it right? Um, it's great that we keep the, uh, keep the school zones safe and, and stuff like that. But I think there's other ways to do some of the safety and stuff like that. But I think there's other ways to do some of that stuff. And unfortunately it involves manpower and money and things like that. And we're always looking for ways to shave those kinds of things. (23:35) So, yeah, it's an interesting conversation. I actually would like to get, uh, Sheriff Aden and Chief Bajan here to just kind of, to talk about their position on it. And then, and then, you know, somebody, you on the, on like you on the other side and on your skepticisms and concerns about how that could be abused. Yeah. So anyway, uh, I just brought it up this morning. Uh, Channel 3 had reported that, uh, that this guy was arrested and I just thought that the, the way that they found him was, was rather interesting. Yeah. Yeah. It's a good thing. (24:09) So I'm glad, glad, glad to see that there's some positive results coming out of it. Right. Yeah. Right. All right. It's 7 30. We're going to take a break. Uh, ask Uncle Tom coming up here in less than 20 minutes. So stay with us. We're The B Team morning show scattered black and Tom Mason on 100.3 KROCK. A look at weather is next in Northwest Florida. Tom, would you mind stopping that chair from squeaking across the way? Isn't it great? What happened to the chair you were using yesterday? I have no idea. Uh, we walked in the studio this morning. Um, and, uh, and there were no chairs in here and a klepto stole it. Yeah. Yeah. So I had to go, go around and see if I could find a chair to bring in here. And this is the one I got. We need to go get all like Perry Mason in here and figure out who the klepto was. We can do that. Can we? Yeah, we can do that. We can start interviewing people right after the show and we'll post them as podcasts at the team show.com. There we go. There you go. Hey, uh, don't forget coming up on a Friday night, uh, sweet 16 action. If you are an Alabama crimson tide fan, they take on, uh, number one seed in the Midwest region, Michigan. It'll be a, uh, six 35 tip off time. We'll carry it for you play by play over on sister station, one Oh 3.7, the ticket. So, uh, just a heads up on that, uh, preview in the, uh, matchups for the sweet 16 on Thursday, uh, 11 seated Texas against second seated Purdue at 6, 10 PM Thursday night at six 39 seated Iowa versus fourth seated Nebraska in, uh, farmageddon, uh, eight 45 PM fourth seeded Arkansas versus number one seated Arizona. That'll be an interesting match up there. And then at, uh, 9 PM that night, third seated Illinois against second seated Houston in Houston. Okay. So, um, a bit of a home game there for the Cougars. And then on Friday, fifth seated St. John's against number one seated Duke in the East region. Again, Bama in Michigan, six 35 at a Friday night. (26:19) Later that evening, third seated Michigan state against second seated Yukon in the East region. And then a second seat at Iowa state and six seated Tennessee at 9, 10 PM in the Midwest region, 9, 10 PM tip off, man, that sucks. Yeah. That's late. Gosh. How do you stay awake for that? (26:42) Well, and you know, and so that's it, uh, the United center in Chicago and, and Bama in Michigan play that game before, because they play two games at the same site that night. Okay. So Bama in Michigan, what if that goes to overtime? Right. Right. Right. Add another half hour onto it. Yeah. I mean, these guys could be tipping off 10 o'clock at night. Holy cow. (27:08) That's just, yeah, I hate that. Yeah. That's tough for that. Tough for the players to, I'm sure they're, I mean, trying to get your, your rhythm and your circadian clock and all that stuff aligned with that has got to be brutal. Well, yeah. I mean, and the thing is, as you know, big games like that, you're going to be, you're going to be wired. Yeah. Right. (27:29) You're going to be up early that morning. Oh yeah. Adrenaline's going to be pumping. Um, I know we've got a lot of Tennessee fans here in town, uh, Tennessee, Iowa state, that matchup. So there'll be, there'll be watching that game. I'm sure. But I just, why do we have to make things so damn late? TV rights. I guess that's what drives it. (27:50) TV rights. That's it. Money. Yeah. It is money. All right. Stay with us. We're three minutes away from asking uncle Tom for advice this morning. Good stuff too. Yeah. He's a good uncle. Yeah. He's got some good advice. He sure does stay with us. It's KROCK. (28:07) KROCK the classic rock station. Hope everybody's doing well on this, uh, beautiful. I'll be, uh, I'll be at chillier Tuesday morning. We're at 60 degrees right now in Destin, Fort Walton beach, a high of 77 this afternoon. Schuyler Blank and Tom Mason, The B Team morning show is on the air and it's time with that music in the background to, uh, talk to uncle Tom for your daily advice. (28:32) Got some good advice. That's right. We, uh, do this every single morning as long as Tom is here and Bobby's gone. Yeah. Brought to you by our friends at buy Tomcat custom apparel, where the apparel is custom. I was going to pick it up, but you didn't pause. (28:50) Brought to you by, by Tomcat custom apparel, where the apparel is custom. You got to sell it, Tom. We'll try it. We'll try it again after. All right. Uncle Tommy here today from Bobby and the outfit that tried man. Interesting. They write in this morning saying, uh, this morning I walked out of the bedroom, ready to tackle the day with my wife. And immediately the world went silent. She looked at me and said, is that what you're wearing? (29:24) What did I do wrong? Well, well, well, well, well, yep. The morning wardrobe on it. Well, you walked out of the bedroom feeling strong, confident, dressed shoes on shirt, tucked loosely, but still ready to tackle the day. Like a man who pays taxes and occasionally remembers to take the trash out without being asked. I did that this morning. Yeah. And did you get the look? Probably not this morning, but then she looked at you head slightly tilted and asked, is that what you're wearing? It was. (29:59) It wasn't a question. It was a color-coded emergency alert. So here's what happened. You assembled your outfit using the husband matching system, which operates on a very simple principle. These are all colors. Navy and black. Both dark. Close enough. Brown belt with black shoes. They're both leather. Green shirt with reddish shorts. Hey, Christmas is festive. You see coordination as a flexible concept. She sees it as structured discipline with standards. Accountability and possibly a governing board. Somewhere in your ensemble, two colors are fighting for dominance and neither one is winning. The mistake wasn't getting dressed. The mistake was believing that not identical equals goes together. To her, you're not just wearing clothes. You're sending a message. And right now that message says, I dressed in low lighting. The correct move is never, ever. What's wrong with it? (30:59) That triggers a full breakdown involving words like undertone, contrast, and why are you like this? Instead, glance down at yourself slowly. Nod and say, Oh yeah, I see it now. You don't see it, but say it anyway. Then go change because marriage is not about marriage isn't about being right. It's about not leaving the house looking like a walking paint sample display. So what happens when you go change and she comes, we come back and she says the same thing. You start all over again. Okay. Yeah. Gotcha. Oops. The lights went out when I was getting dressed. Yeah, that's probably what happened. I was just checking to see if you could spot this. Exactly. I was just seeing if you were paying attention or come back with, these are the only ones that are clean. Exactly. See how that goes over. Yeah. (31:55) Good luck. Good luck. All right. There's your, there's your advice this morning, right here on ask uncle Tom. Yeah. Two more days. All stitched together by Tomcat custom apparel where the apparel is custom. That was better. Okay. Thank you. It's a seven 51. We'll take a break. Dan diamond has news coming your way next on KROCK. I wonder if we should like line up a segue from the sticks into the stones. Yeah. Go for like renegade to like start me up. Yeah. How would you, how do you do that? Sticks to stones, broken bones. (32:37) I'm starting to put this together in my head here. Yeah. You play bad to the bone, bad to the bone. Um, there's, there's a, there's a tie in here. There it is. And then John Petty and the heartbreakers. Uh, what's, what's the, what's the brain song? Um, Oh shoot. Now I'm drawing a blank. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Blame our, uh, darn it. I've drawn a blank. That'll come to me later. Yeah. About two in the morning. (33:08) Great. I'll do it. I'll do a call in. Yeah. Call me. Yeah. I'll do a call. We'll call in the radio station. Two AM. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Well, they'll, they'll be happy to take your call. The morning DJ will take it and we'll discuss it on the air at that point. Right. Absolutely. You just, uh, dial eight, six, seven, five, three Oh nine. Yeah. Yeah. (33:29) Pick right up. Uh-huh. 61 degrees and fair skies in Destin Fort Walton beach this morning, a high today of 77. If you're stepping outside this morning and you're saying, Oh, it feels a little chillier. Yeah. Well, temp's still in the sixties, but the humidity considerably different than yesterday. 97 to 97% humidity yesterday morning. Yeah. (33:50) In the last hour, it's dropped down to 56%. And that's, there's your difference. Yeah. You got a Northeast wind at 10 right now. And that's, uh, that's, that's just bringing that real field down a bit. So, uh, we'll see high highs though, in the seventies, the next several days, and then low eighties in the forecast for the weekend. (34:08) When I wonder what the, uh, what the humidity is doing though. Does it give you anything on that? That'll, that'll tell us how it, how it feels. See my buddy dew point, Doug tells me that's, that's, that's what causes the, uh, the, the, the dew on the windshield in the morning. Yeah. (34:24) Dew points at, uh, dew points at 45, 45. Okay. Yeah. All right. So I wonder what it was yesterday. Should have looked somewhere around 97. Yeah. Hey, don't forget coming up on Saturday is the fourth annual arc for the Emerald coast, uh, poker run right for the arc. Yeah. (34:44) It should be a, should be a great event. Uh, whether this weekend looks awesome, bring out your bikes, your convertibles, your Jeeps, uh, the 97 caravan, we don't care. Yeah. Uh, it's all raising money for the arc. It's $15 per rider or vehicle and $10 per passenger to enter. Uh, and you can win dozens of prizes. One of the grand prizes this year is a 2005 Honda shadow seven 50 chopper. So a registration will start around 9. AM. Uh, and a kickstands will be up, be on the road by 10 30 and all bikes will be back to the Niceville Legion right there on John Sims by 4. PM. So if you can get out and join in the fun this weekend, we certainly encourage you to do so. And of course, uh, our coverage of the event as always sponsored by our friends at Florida power and light and Eglin federal credit union. (35:35) Well, Tom, surprise, surprise. There's another weirdo in California. Really? A Northern California man, 28 year old Christian Solario has been sentenced to six years and eight months in state prison after being convicted of stalking a woman for months and breaking into her Modesto home to assault her while she slept. Authorities say Solario became fixated on the victim after seeking, seeing her at work and then repeatedly following her. And in May allegedly entered her home and licked and bitter toes. Oh geez. That, you know, funny, but not funny. (36:15) What a weirdo. Yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah, the victim managed to keep him calm until family members arrived and called nine one one. Uh, prosecutors also noted that Solario faces separate federal drug trafficking charges. So, uh, not his first run in with the law, but, uh, I suck in toes. (36:37) Yeah. There's a tow truck joke in there somewhere. I know there is. I'll let you come up with it. I'll let you work on that right now. Okay. All right. We're going to do a few more stories this morning here on The B Team morning and Tom Mason it's Tuesday brought to you by stripes pub and grill in Nevar, Okaloosa gas and outcast sushi and Miramar beach on the classic rock station. 100.3 KROCK. (37:05) 100.3 KROCK. The classic rock station. Uh, eight 26 is the time it's The B Team morning show scatter black and Tom Mason brought to you by stripes pub and grill in Nevar, Okaloosa gas and outcast sushi and Miramar beach. And Tom just pulled up, uh, an alert that came out from the, uh, Walton County sheriff's office this morning. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, the, um, Walton County middle school in Diffuniac. Yeah. And Diffuniac is working with the sheriff's office. (37:38) They had a, they had an incident over there. There's not a lot of information out yet, but apparently they've canceled school for the day. Yeah. The alert says Walton County sheriff's office is investigating an incident at the Walton middle school that occurred before the start of school today. At this time, parents are advised that school has been canceled for the day at Walton middle school. Bruce Avenue in Diffuniac is closed now for any student currently at the school who arrived by bus or drop off a reunification site is being set up at the Walton County fairgrounds at seven 90 North ninth street in Diffuniac. So, uh, if you get any family up there, uh, that way, uh, check in, check in with them. Yeah. Not, not sure what's going on. Right. (38:23) No details. That's literally what was just posted to their Facebook page in the last half hour. Yeah. So anyway, good work on your, uh, on your, uh, breaking news covers there. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I got the whole team out there working on things. So, um, as they throw stuff at us, we gotta, we gotta filter through it and then, and then put it out there. Right. Now we're, we're bringing you only the most pertinent information, right? Exactly. Why are you sinking again? I feel like that chair, uh, it drops about six inches every three minutes. (38:58) This chair, it's either squeaking loudly or all of a sudden it has a mind of its own and says, Oh, we're going to be lower. That's right. Oh, you don't want me to talk. Fine. Watch this. As I go, as I go past the microphone on the way down. Yeah. We talk about the chair squeaking and it's like the chair tells Tom, hold my beer. Watch this. Guess what? Jokes on you. (39:20) You're going to complain. Here we go. Oh man. Well, you had something that you wanted to get to. I did. I did a story about America's perfect fast food combo. Now this is a fast food combo from different fast food chains. So a new survey suggests Americans have built the perfect fast food meal by mixing and matching favorites from different chains rather than sticking to just one. (39:44) Okay. Uh, the poll found that the ideal combo includes a Burger King burger or Chick-fil-A sandwich sandwich twice paired with McDonald's fries, uh, reflecting how on how many people prefer customizing meals across brands. (39:59) Burger King ranked as the top hamburger choice overall, while McDonald's dominated the sides category. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell ranked as the top hamburger choice overall, while McDonald's dominated the sides category. (40:33) Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell ranked as the top hamburger choice overall, while McDonald's dominated the sides category. (41:03) Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell ranked as the top hamburger choice overall, while McDonald's dominated the sides category. (41:33) Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell ranked as the top hamburger choice overall, while McDonald's dominated the sides category. (42:03) That's some expensive burgers, man. (42:31) It is. I mean, they're good. Catch you next time. Catch you next time. They're probably at the airport. No, they're not. I wish they were. You're right. What an opportunity. (42:47) What a missed opportunity for them. They could have caught you right there and made some money. At the airport, you could have had In-N-Out right next to the damn slots. You want to talk about a money-making machine. You'd have been in heaven, wouldn't you? Uh-huh. (43:02) Wow. Why did we just tell everybody the secret? You've got to understand, when this mic is hot, any good ideas, somebody else is going to steal. I know. Somebody is going to go throw an In-N-Out burger in the airport now. Yeah. (43:18) Yeah, that's probably exactly where the In-N-Out that we're getting is going. In the VPS terminal. On the other side. That's TSA. You can't get to it. It's 8.33. Weather's next. A Florida man ended up back in custody after deputies say he refused to leave a Brevard County hotel, all while wearing a stolen inmate uniform from a previous jail stay. (43:44) Man. Yep. Farron Fullerton remained in his room after his reservation ended and ignored requests to leave, prompting deputies to respond. When officers tried to arrest him, he allegedly resisted being handcuffed, adding to the unusual situation. (44:04) The inmate outfit he was wearing belonged to a jail where he had previously been held, but officials confirmed he was not an escapee. He had just simply taken the uniform when he left custody earlier, when he was taken into custody on trespassing and related charges. (44:19) So, there's your Florida man story for today. Gosh. You know, just the stupidity of some people sometimes. Uh-huh. So here's something that I find very frustrating. Okay. (44:35) Alright. His hotel reservation was over. Yeah. The police were allowed to come in and arrest him. Okay. Alright. Why can we not do that with squatters? (44:51) Oh, yeah. I don't know. You know, I kind of had it explained to me that, you know, it's like you present a legal document that says, I have this right. Well, somebody's got to adjudicate it, you know. (45:09) And that's where it gets into the whole, hey, we just can't kick them out because they have presented what looks like a legal document, and it's going to take a little while to get this sorted out and figure out who's actually telling the truth and who's lying. (45:29) There's a fast track for it. Some of these things where it seems to take months or, you know, six to nine months or years or stuff like that, I wonder what is actually behind it because it shouldn't take that long. (45:45) No, it shouldn't. And I think probably most law enforcement officials know when they go in there who's actually telling the truth. Right. Absolutely. Everybody gets their day in court, and this is where the litigation comes into play, and you end up having to rely on the court to take care of this. (46:05) And that doesn't happen quickly. It can take quite a while. Yeah. So, yeah, you know, and I'm not a landlord, right? I don't have any rental properties. But you see some videos out there, and it's not even just landlords. It's people that may purchase a home and are moving from across the country, and the house is vacant for two weeks, and by the time they get down there to move in, somebody else has already broken in and, you know, claimed it as their domain. (46:37) Yeah, and shows up at the door with all these documents that look legal. Yep. Well, this is my mailing address. Yeah. This is my utility bill. Yeah. You know, from a police officer perspective, standing on the street, how's he supposed to decide who has the correct documents and who doesn't? (46:57) Again, he probably knows. But at the same time, you've still got to go through the process of deciding which one is right or not. But, yeah, man, some of these cases that you hear about where they seem to get the people out, it just boggles your mind. (47:15) And now I feel like I need a legal opinion. And I know Larry Hipsch is listening because he just texted me a little while ago. Oh, did he? So, Hipsch, what's the scoop on that? Give us a scoop on this. How do they get away with that for as long as they do? I just think it's a bunch of crap. (47:31) It is. It is, unfortunately. And so many people, I mean, there's people out there that end up paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to get these people out of their house. Plus what they lost on top of it. Right, more damages. (47:47) Exactly. It's crazy. All right, CCR before Tom and I get out of here in just a few on 100.3 KROCK. Joe, we're out. Yeah. I feel like today has been a little more serious today. Maybe we grew up a little bit today and took things a little more seriously and delved into some societal issues. (48:05) Well, when we stepped in the studio and we were presented with a riddle that we had to take, We can talk about that on the air? Yeah. Okay, good. Right around here on Beale, there's a number of, I guess we could call them unlicensed pharmacists. (48:27) Okay, that's a good way to put it. Undocumented people, unlicensed pharmacists. Undocumented pharmacists. Okay. Yeah. You can get all sorts of stuff from them. They're just willing to help, right? (48:43) Right. Looking for ibuprofen and you end up with meth. Yeah, whatever ails you, man. All right, we got to go. Yeah. All of a sudden, the serious show isn't so serious anymore, is it? No, it's not. (48:59) I got this squeaky chair. It's been a great morning, though. I feel like we turned a corner today. Yeah. Maybe it's because it's winding down. For me, anyway. I think that's sad. Yeah. (49:15) I mean, you're going to get Bobby back. Think about it. Don't scowl. Don't scowl. Ooh. You make me feel good. You make me feel good. I really feel good right now. (49:31) Bobby's on an airplane. He's got, what, 11 hours or something like that on an airplane? Yep. Yeah, it's a long flight. It looked like 12 and a half just from Athens to Atlanta. And who knows how long the layover is in Atlanta. Because when they came in, or when they flew out, they had like an eight-hour layover in Atlanta. (49:47) So I'm pretty sure that none of the stuff that he didn't do is going to get done between now and when he comes back on the show. Oh, of course. Yeah. All right. All right. All right. All right. (50:03) You and the entire B Team team are going to still have to take care of all that stuff. He's got two weeks worth of underwear to wash. Yeah, he ain't doing anything for the show. It's all on you, man. I know. What else is new? Back's hurting again. You and the team. (50:19) Uh-huh. The team. Me, myself, and I. Team Schuyler. Uh-huh. I need pins like that. You do, you do. My team. Yeah. Team leader. Uh-huh. (50:34) Captain. There you go. That's it. We're out of time. I want to thank Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Tom and I will be back tomorrow morning to do it all over again on a hump day Wednesday. I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable rest of your Tuesday. (50:51) We are the B Team Morning Show. Local news is next on 100.3 KROCK. And that's a wrap on today's B Team Redux.
