National Open an Umbrella Indoors Day: When Superstition Meets Stupidity and Bobby Dewrell Abandons Ship

(00:01) Here's today's B Team Redux. Skinnered. And, uh, what is that smell? Yeah, that's a dangerous thing to ask. Doggy. It's B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. (00:17) Friday morning. Hope you all are getting ready for the weekend. We'll check your forecast in just a bit. The rain that we had yesterday has pushed out. Looks like it's going to be nice tomorrow and Saturday. Slight chance of showers on Sunday, but we'll check your full forecast here in just a little bit. (00:33) Also, coming up Sunday afternoon, there is going to be a live music fundraiser down at Suds and Cinema. Starting at 1pm. It's going to go all afternoon and into the evening hours with the Boys of Autumn Poultry live on the stage. And admission is $10. (00:48) All proceeds benefit the fund to help support Suds and Cinema. Very cool. We've got the details on the events tab at thebteamshow.com. So, there you go. Well, moving along in the National Day calendar, what's the next one? (01:04) Well, you know, funny you're talking about smells and things like that. Today's second national holiday is National Dermatologist Day. Yeah, I can only imagine some of the stuff they deal with. National Dermatologist Day, because nothing says celebration like paying a stranger to pop your problems and bill you like they found oil. (01:27) National Dermatologist Day is that special little moment on the calendar where we all pretend we've been moisturizing on purpose and not just sliding through life like a neglected leather couch. It's a salute to the folks who stare at your face under stadium lighting, nod slowly, and say things like, while you reconsider every decision you made between puberty and last Tuesday. (01:47) They're the mechanics of the human wrapper, patching, scraping, freezing, politely reminding you the sun is not your friend. It's a loud drunk with a grudge. So, take the day to appreciate modern medicine. Schedule the appointment you've been meaning to. And for the love of your future, stop letting mystery bumps run your life like unpaid interns. (02:07) That's good advice. Yeah. Yeah, very cool. No story this time. No story? Well, I do, but I'm not going to go into it. Not here. We'll tell it off the air. Yeah. Yeah. Stay with us. (02:22) We're the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Tom Mason on 100.3 KROCK. Arts, crazy on you. The Classic Rock Station, 100.3 KROCK. Good morning, everybody. Hope you're doing well. (02:37) It's Friday. TGI Friday at that. Yeah. Friday the 13th. Oh, interesting how often this happens. Well, two months in a row. Yeah. You have 28 days in February. Yeah. Except on leap years. (02:52) Right. So, whatever days, you know, however it falls in February is how it's going to fall in March. It's like shampooing your hair. What hair are you shampooing? Shampoo, rinse, repeat. Yeah. Me? Yeah. (03:07) I guess you got a goatee. I do. Yeah. So, I got a little bit. But, yeah, I don't have to worry about that whole shampoo thing, no. Not for quite a few years. So, a while back, I started growing it back just to... See what you got? Yeah. (03:22) Because I had a wild hair. Yeah. No pun intended. So, I thought I would grow it back. And, of course, I had to go out and buy all the stuff that you need when you have hair. And that stuff is still sitting under the sink in my bathroom. Tom, they call that shampoo. (03:37) Yeah. Yeah. By the way, you have a lot. Yeah, I do. Yeah. Yeah. I know. But I'm like, I still look at that stuff under the counter going, Huh? I still have all that stuff. Just getting dusty, isn't it? (03:52) Right. Right. Because I think I had my hair growing for about six months. And how much did you have? I was probably almost to the point where you are. And then a buddy of mine said, Hey, do you mind participating in my retirement ceremony? (04:08) And, of course, I'm already retired. And I was, Yeah, sure. I'll be happy to, man. Love the opportunity. He goes, Well, you're going to have to put the uniform back on. I'm like, Oh, man. There went the hair. Yeah. Now, I got to shave it all off again or cut it. (04:24) So, did you have a full head of hair on top? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I still have a full head of hair. If I let it grow. Man, it's so much easier this way. I don't have to worry about haircuts. I don't have none of that stuff. I hit it with a razor when I get up in the morning, when I take a shower, and that's it. (04:43) Yeah. What does Kat say? It's kind of liberating. Oh, she likes it. She likes it shaved? Yeah. Yeah. She doesn't like you with hair? No, I think she does. But I think if she had a preference, she likes this better. Oh. Yeah. (04:58) All right. Yeah. Well, we'll save that conversation for later. When she hits me with stuff, there's no hair to cushion it. That's true. Yeah. Yeah. There's no insulation to pad the beating. Right. Just, you know, direct contact. Yeah. (05:13) Brute force. Right. V Team Morning Show's on the air on a Friday. Don't forget Molly from Paws is going to be joining us here during the 8 o'clock hour to talk about their kitten shower they've got coming up tomorrow. Oh, yeah. Very cool. So you can find out more details on that on the events tab at krockfwb.com. (05:31) But today on the National Day calendar, we've got a couple more to reveal. What else we got? We got today is National Good Samaritan Day. National Good Samaritan Day. When people do one decent thing and then, you know, post it online and expect the universe to Venmo them a medal. (05:47) That's true. Yeah. Everybody's just looking for likes and clicks. Right. National Good Samaritan Day is the annual calendar guilt trip where we all pretend we're one flat tire away from sainthood. It's inspired by the Good Samaritan story, which is basically an ancient reminder that doing the decent thing shouldn't require a committee, a hashtag, or a parade permit. (06:08) The holiday asks you to help a stranger. Small. Real stuff. Because the universe keeps score, even when your neighbors don't. And sure, it's absurd, but so is needing a special day to act like a functioning adult. So let's just start there and see who survives. (06:23) It's a good way to look at it, yeah. It's Good Samaritan Day. It's Friday the 13th. This is the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. Here's Def Leppard. Same old song, same old dance, except it's Friday. Aerosmith on the classic rock station, 100.3 KROCK. (06:40) The B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Tom Mason obviously covering for Bobby for the next couple of weeks while he is over there on a romantic two-week getaway. Yeah, he's just snuggled up right now having, you know, warm toddies and life is great. (06:56) Yeah, I'll bet it is. I'll bet it is. I'm sure he's smiling this very moment. I'm sure he is. In rare form. I like to look up the time difference. It's about six or seven hours. Is it? Yeah, that's true. (07:11) He's at noon, one o'clock there right now. Okay. Yeah. Okay. He's not there yet, though. Oh, yeah, he would be. Yeah. He'd be, yeah. They're just getting there. Yeah, they would have made it by now. Gosh. Can you imagine after a long plane ride what he's like? (07:30) No. Well, I've gone, I've traveled with him before. Yeah. On a plane ride. Yeah. I don't, I mean, I've traveled with him. He's flying. But after that many hours on a plane? Yeah, it can't be good. (07:47) Can't be. No, it can't be good. Sorry, kids. Sorry, Kathy. I know. All right. We've got one more day to reveal because we've got a busy morning coming up and we've got to start talking about stories here during the seven o'clock hour. (08:03) Okay. So let's talk about this last national holiday for today. Yeah, today is National Open an Umbrella Indoors Day. Yeah, because the forecast says you don't need one outside today, right? It's what it says, yeah. Yeah, it looks like about 70. We'll check your forecast in just a bit. (08:19) But National Open an Umbrella Indoors Day because nothing says I make great decisions like turning your living room into a liability claim. National Open an Umbrella Indoors Day is the rare holiday that looks at your grandma's superstition dead in the eye and says, try me. (08:36) The premise is simple. Crack open an umbrella in your living room like you're summoning weather, luck, or a mild argument. Anything to break the spell of don't do that you've been carrying since childhood. It's not about staying dry. It's about testing how much of your life is run by invisible rules and how fast your nerves spike when nylon blooms under a ceiling fan. (08:57) Consider it a low-stakes rehearsal for bigger acts of rebellion, the kind that start with a whoosh and end with you realizing you've been scared of nonsense on purpose. So have at it, Mary Poppins. Have a good time with that umbrella. (09:12) Yeah. Yeah. Once. Once. Minutes away from 7 o'clock, Schuyler Black and Tom Mason, the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. Minutes away from 7, stick tight. We'll be back with, well, more fun and frolicking momentarily. (09:29) Let's be great. Standby for more ROQ. 100.3 KROCK. Just knocking on the door. Yay Friday. Uh-huh. Yeah. Who turned on the air outside? I know. It's cool, isn't it? 42 degrees right now. (09:44) I didn't put a jacket on this morning. I've still got mine on in here. We are going to climb up to a high of 70 today, which will probably linger for a grand total of six minutes. Yeah. Yeah, before it starts dipping back into the 60s. But tomorrow. (10:00) A high of 77, 78 on Sunday, 70 on Monday, but Monday night, Tuesday morning when we roll in, 35 degrees. I'm going to call in sick. Are you? Yeah. (10:15) I'm going to call in cold. That is going to be unpaid sick leave. Unpaid sick leave? Wow. You do understand that, right? I'm going to get hurt on that one. I mean, the giant leap from what I make when I'm here to when I'm not here is really going to hurt. (10:30) So go home, crunch the numbers this weekend, readjust your budget, and then we can discuss it Monday before you officially decide to take Tuesday off. Before I make that phone call. Yeah. Okay. Just see if you can make it work. Yeah. See if I can fit that in. Massage those numbers a bit. (10:45) We're at 42 right now. Wind chill's got it feeling like 38 at the moment. Wind's out of the north. I guess I really felt it yesterday afternoon. I stood outside. It looked like it was nice. Yeah. About 4 o'clock. (11:00) Yeah. And then I stood outside. I'm like, it says it's 65, but it doesn't feel like it at all. No, it didn't. No, it didn't feel like it at all. Yeah. You got in the shade, and it was like, brr. Yeah. I walked outside to go run out to my truck out in the parking lot, and I was like, oh, my gosh. (11:17) Where'd this come from? I know. Old man winter still not wanting to release its grip completely. It's that last little tug. It is. One last breath of winter. I think we, what do we do? Officially flip the calendar into spring. Is it next week? (11:33) Right around the 21st. Yeah. That's the first day of spring? I believe so. So the 21st would be next Saturday. Yeah, typically it's the 21st. Let's see if you're right. 20th is what Google says. Okay. Do you trust Google or Tom? If they want to be that way, they can. (11:51) So next Friday, we can have a spring party here. We could. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Everybody gets free $100 bills from Tom. Oh, wait a minute. From Tom? Yeah. From Tom. Oh, so then I'm going to have to come in Tuesday then. (12:06) You might need that extra day of pay. Yeah. I'm going to have to go ahead and come in on Tuesday. Now, the $100 bills are going to be printed by Tomcat. Whoa. Don't try to spend them. Yeah. Don't try to spend them. I figured that went without saying. (12:21) We're the B Team Morning Show. Scattered Black Tom Mason sitting over there on mic two, which he's going to be doing for the next couple of weeks as Bobby is over yonder across the pond. (12:36) Yeah. God, he's having fun. He's got to be. Yeah. He's got 30 kids. He's got to be having the time of his life. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Bobby will make a good time of it somehow. I don't know. You think those kids hate him? I wonder. (12:51) I wonder. God, we should have got with him and gave him the insight on the grumpy report. You know? We could have got a message each day about where he's at. You know? One to ten. By the end of the trip, these kids are going to call him the Greek Scrooge. (13:07) I don't think they're going to like him. Well, they probably don't. Most of us don't. If they have any sense at all. Yeah. V-Team Morning Show. Each weekday morning brought to you by our friends at Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre as well as Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. (13:28) Yesterday, Channel 3 reported that seven previously deported illegals have been indicted in Pensacola for illegal re-entry into the U.S. Really? Really. While five illegals were convicted of federal crimes in Pensacola last month. (13:47) Oh my gosh. Yeah. The five previously indicted defendants were convicted in the month of February for being unlawfully present in the country after prior removal. Okay. Juan Salgado of Mexico was apprehended in Santa Rosa County back in 25, but he was previously deported back in 2012. (14:09) Okay. Jose Alberto Orozco Sanchez of Mexico was previously deported twice, August and November of 19, and again in November of 25 here in Okaloosa County. (14:25) Yeah. Kevin Perez Portillo of El Salvador was removed back in August of 17. He was removed again in Santa Rosa County in December of 25. Amin Perez Mendez of Mexico was previously removed in August of 18 from Santa Rosa County, removed again from Santa Rosa in December of 23. (14:51) And Ron Valles of Honduras was previously removed in March of 14 and was then removed again December of 25 from Santa Rosa County. So does it say when the last time they came back in the country was? (15:09) I mean, for this, related to this incident? I shouldn't say they were deported. They were apprehended in those recent months. Okay. And so then they officially got indicted. Okay. Okay. And convicted. Okay. Are they being deported again? (15:25) I would imagine so. Yeah. I would imagine so. Yeah. And there's a whole laundry list of additional ones. Wow. Yeah. Well, when you've got that many people coming across the border in one big swoop, it's going to take some time. (15:45) It's going to take some time. And the thing is, a lot of these are people that came here 10 or 15 years ago and got kicked out. But again, when the gate was wide open. Right. And you could just walk by. (16:00) It's like getting on a Disneyland ride. Yeah. You know, as soon as you're done, you just come back right around. Exactly. It's like a golden retriever that barks at you at the door for a burglar and then allows the burglar to come in and then holds the door open so they can get everything out. Damn dog. (16:16) Golden retrievers, they're like that, too. Yes, they are. Yeah. They're just so friendly here. In fact, everything. All retrievers are. Yeah. I mean, labs, goldens, Chesapeake Bay. Yeah. They're all friendly. They like people. Burglars are not. Yeah, they do. (16:31) I don't give a damn. Just walk in the door with a Scooby Snack and they're your friends. Milk bone, please. There you go. All right. We're going to play a couple tunes and then come back with a look at your forecast. I think maybe Tom's working on a story for you. (16:47) Yeah, I got something. Kiss. Thinking about ice cream this morning. Lick it up. Ice cream. Uh-huh. Cold morning. Yeah, absolutely. It's like cold pizza. It's good. Yeah. Ice cream's good anytime. (17:02) I know. Yeah, I don't have a problem with that. I had a bowl last night, actually. Did you really? Nice big bowl of Blue Bell. Wow. I don't want to say I'm not a Blue Bell fan. Edie's ice cream is my favorite. Edie's. (17:17) Edie's. And you know where you get it? The best price? Do you get the slow churned? Our favorite one, I don't believe, is the slow churned. Oh. Yeah. But it's Dollar General. Has absolutely, hands down, the best price. (17:32) Really? It's like four bucks for one of the, whatever they are, half gallons. Yeah. As opposed to, unfortunately, Publix, which is like $7 or something like that. Yeah, well, you're going to get raked over the coals at Publix. Well, yeah. (17:47) Doesn't matter. Yeah. But Dollar General. It's the only time I go into Dollar General. You can get two huge rotisserie chickens at Sam's for the price of one little dinky bird from Publix. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I know. So, when I go to Publix, it's like one, you know, I probably get $100 worth and it's like a sack. (18:08) Yeah. One sack. Yep. But it's not, I don't know. You know, I've done a little bit of comparison, like with the Walmarts and stuff like that. For some stuff, you don't pay that much more at Publix. But some stuff, yeah, you do. (18:23) I avoid the Fort Walton Walmart like the plague. You and me both. Like the plague. High five on that one. Absolutely. I do miss Winn-Dixie. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not an Aldi guy. Don't like Aldis. Oh, we go there for some things. (18:39) Yeah. I look at it as another dollar general, family dollar type store on steroids. And I just avoid that if I can. Yeah. There's some things we get there. Yeah. (18:54) Their produce is okay. Yeah. But I just, you know, if you want the big selection, you know, that's why I go over and shop with my buddy Tim over at The Pig. Yeah. The Wiggly. Yeah. (19:09) The least of money is staying here in town and people are friendly. Yeah. First supermarket in the nation. Right? Mm-hmm. Piggly Wiggly. Yeah. That's their claim to fame. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And man, when it comes around pumpkin season for Halloween, they got the best pumpkins anywhere. (19:28) Well, we'll talk about that in about six months. Okay. Because it's March, Tom. I know. But. You said they had the best begonias. The best marigolds. We can talk about it right now. You brought up pumpkins. We can't talk about pumpkins in March? No. Just Christmas in July. (19:43) It just hits wrong, huh? It does. It does. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's okay. You got an icky feeling now. You need a shower? Yeah. It's Friday the 13th. B Team Morning Show. It's Schuyler Black, Tom Mason on a Friday morning and Tom's got a story for us about the Tooth Fairy and you would know a little something about fairies, wouldn't you? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. We're not going there. (20:13) Privacy Act. Don't ask, don't tell. Yeah, I do. The Tooth Fairy is paying out more than last year. Yeah, gone up. The Tooth Fairy is giving kids a bigger payout in 2026 after a couple years of smaller rewards. Really? Yes. A new survey found the average amount left per lost tooth rose 17%. 17% in one year. I've never gotten a raise at 17% and kids are getting 17% more than they did last year. (20:47) Well, if you don't call in sick Tuesday, you might just see one. Might just see that, huh? It's marking the first increase since 2023. It's amazing that somebody's keeping statistics on this. On the Tooth Fairy payout. Yeah. Regionally, the Northeast had the highest payouts at about $6.45 while the Midwest saw the biggest year-over-year jump. And corn, beans, and wheat were up last year. Yeah, kids breaking, yeah, kids breaking teeth out there on those corn cobs and stuff like that. Yeah, you know, growing up in Southern Iowa, if we had a loose tooth, he didn't tie, you know, a string to a door handle and shut the door. It was, you know, just chew on this cob. It'll come out. Just make sure you get it because, you know, when it's stuck in the cob, you got to get it out of it so you can get the Tooth Fairy to come give you some money. (21:39) She's not gonna pick the baby tooth out of the cob. No, and you don't put the whole cob under the pillow. That doesn't work either. I never tried that. I should have. Well, there you go. Something to try. It doesn't say anything about kids in the South. No, it doesn't. It doesn't mention kids in the South. And then, interesting, it says that the poll found that more kids are getting non-cash gifts like toys or notes along with or instead of money. If I got a note instead of money from the Tooth Fairy, oh, I would be angry. I'd probably knock all my teeth out. I'd be so angry. I'd be up waiting for the Tooth Fairy the next night with a fake tooth under my pillow. Screw losing my teeth. You're gonna lose your teeth, bitch. I'm getting my money. All right, well, there you go. (22:37) That's a 17% though. Yeah, 17% jump. That's pretty significant. I mean, wow. Yeah. I wonder what $5.84 is the average. Yeah. Wow. How do they track that? What did you get for your first tooth? I mean, I think I got like a quarter. I think I got a dollar. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think I ever got a dollar for a tooth. I think maybe I got a quarter, but, you know, back then, a quarter, yeah, you could buy a car. (23:07) A quarter in the 60s versus a dollar in the 90s. It's about the same damn thing, right? I guess. And tracking inflation. Yeah, exactly. With inflation, now you're almost a $6 a tooth. Yeah. How much for a full set? My God, almost 200 bucks. Damn, I wouldn't want to be the kid that found out. You had a bad day if you had a full set under the pillow. You did. You did. Bully messed around with you at school. That's true. (23:37) That's for sure. And if I was a parent, I'd be pissed off too. What? I was supposed to go to the light now. You've been saving up for how long? Let's take a break. It's 730. Ask Uncle Tom coming up in the next 20 minutes. (23:56) And balmy 42 degrees this morning. It looks beautiful outside, but the temp's not quite there yet. It's deceptive looking out there. It looks like it's all warm and toasty and just walk outside, but it's coffee morning. Yeah, it looks like a Democrat. Somebody you want to be friends with and then, oh. You're talking. (24:23) It's the B Team Morning Show on a Friday. Schuyler Black, Tom Mason, brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. So, I found this story this morning. I thought it was rather interesting. Restaurants across the U.S. are now starting to shrink portion sizes as customers rethink their budgets and their waistlines. (24:46) Chains like Olive Garden and The Cheesecake Factory, along with smaller independent eateries, are rolling out petite menu options aimed at diners who want healthier meals, lower prices, or simply can't eat as much. (25:01) A big factor driving the change is the growing popularity of GLP-1 weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, which reduce your appetite. Some restaurants are even designing special menus with nutrient-dense, smaller plates to attract those customers. Industry experts say the shift goes beyond medications, younger diners are snacking more, and older customers often prefer lighter meals. (25:26) Concerns about food waste and value are reshaping how Americans dine out. Now, as somebody like you that's been all over the world in your military career, how would you compare American portion size to other countries? (25:45) You get this little bit, and this little bit, and this little bit. Here, you just get this giant plate full of food. Some of it, it's like, oh my God, that's a lot of food to eat. I think people look at that, and the perceived value of it is that it's great, but it leads to overeating. I think it's a good trend. (26:22) The first time I learned something about that, I think I was eight years old, and we were down in Orlando. My dad was going back for his annual recurrent training on the King Air that we owned for our charter company. (26:37) We did that every March, but usually there was a class full of other commercial pilots, and there was another guy there from England, and he brought his family. Kendall, that was his son, was my age, and that's what he kept talking about is how American restaurants just serve so much. (26:56) The rest of us are all acclimated to it, but that was my first experience like, man, do we really eat that much more than everybody else? Apparently so. You've been around. Yeah, look around. You look at a lot of countries and look at the United States, and yeah, it's pretty evident that we eat a lot. (27:14) We're hefty. Without a doubt, yeah. Look around at the round people. Exactly, yeah. Well, we're going to ask Uncle Tom for advice here in a few minutes. Okay, yeah. I thought you did a really good job yesterday, and I thought the advice was actually something people wanted to adhere to. (27:34) Yeah? Yeah. Good. Because Uncle Bobby's is just, it's gnarly, but yours I thought was heartfelt. Yeah, it's because I care. You do? Yeah, I really care. All right, Uncle Bobby's older, albeit much better looking older brother is coming in next in just a little bit. (27:56) I got to agree with you on that. I'm glad. Yeah. We're on the same page this morning. That's right. It's Friday morning. The B Team Morning Show is on the air. Schuyler Black and Tom Mason, and 7.48 is the time. It's time for Ask Uncle Tom. (28:14) I hear that music. I do. Do you hear it? I hear it. Do you like it? Is it soothing? It gets the ambiance going. Yeah, it really works. It sets the mood, doesn't it? It does. Yeah. It was really comical when Bobby couldn't get to the music. (28:31) Yeah. He's not quite as fleet of thought as he thinks he is. He thinks he's witty. He does. He thinks he's got it all. Yeah, he could be. Then you put the spotlight on him. (28:47) Right. It's all a farce. It's a class house. It's a class house. And we're all just throwing rocks. Yeah, we are. Shatter. Break. Well, the music in the background tells us one thing. It's time for Ask Uncle Tom. (29:07) Uncle Bobby's older brother from another mother. And much more handsome. Yes. It goes without saying. Of course, it's all stitched together each morning by our friends. Well, by Tomcat Custom Apparel. Isn't that amazing? Yeah. Yeah. (29:22) It's too late for St. Paddy's Day orders. It's never too late. Come in Monday afternoon at 6. Get your St. Paddy's orders. We do have a rush fee. You can find them at the corner of Beale and Racetrack, right next to Sport Clips. (29:40) Yes. In Fort Walton Beach at Wright Plaza. But today, Uncle Tom, taking a look at your question. You get a question in from Baffled by Blouses. And they say, Dear Uncle Tom, I decided to earn some points by washing my wife's clothes. (29:58) All was going well for the time. For the first time in a long time. And I felt like Ralphie in Christmas Story, turning his masterpiece manuscript on what he wanted for Christmas. My wife was going to be so impressed by what I did, it would be non-stop treats and rewards for the whole day. (30:15) Hell, I might even get one of those greatest dad cups you see in fables. And then it happened. I grabbed one of those ladies' tops. You know, the flimsy, sheer, almost see-through kind that seem to have no top or bottom, no inside or outside. (30:32) Straps attached to straps next to plasticky, strappy things that help it stay on a hanger, but you never... Man, this is a long question, man. I feel like it's not a question anymore. (30:47) Those plasticky, strappy things that help it stay on a hanger, but you never see when she's wearing it, because they're secretly part of some mystical, magical, camouflaged devil's work. How do I fold this thing? Why couldn't you have just said that? (31:04) We've got to set it up properly. Do I need to read it again for you? You won't get the true gist of it if you don't read it. I'm out of breath. Well, let me tell you, first of all, congratulations on your brief but glorious rise to domestic hero. (31:23) I can see you now, chest puffed out, tossing towels into the dryer like a pioneer conquering the frontier, fully expecting a slow clap from the hallway. You didn't just wash clothes. You envisioned a legacy. You saw commemorative mugs. You heard the faint whisper of world's greatest husband. (31:42) Echoing through the laundry room. And then, you met the top. Not a shirt. Not a blouse. A fabric, riddled in chiffon, held together by hope, in two spaghetti straps thinner than your patience. These garments are not meant to be folded by mortal hands. (31:59) They are engineered in a secret facility where designers ask, how can we remove all structural logic? There is no clear neckline, no obvious bottom. It has straps that appear decorative, straps that appear functional, and straps that appear to exist solely to test your character. (32:16) You hold it up and it rotates on you like it's trying to escape. You attempt one fold and become smaller, but somehow bigger. You attempt a second fold and it transforms into something that looks like a defeated jellyfish. This is not laundry. This is an advanced spatial reasoning exam. (32:33) I'm going to pause you for just a minute. We're out of music. I gotta start it again. The question was so damn long. Are we ready? I gotta give the finish now. So what do you do? You do what wise men throughout history have done when confronted with mysterious feminine engineering. (32:51) You retreat strategically, gently lay it flat, smooth it like you understand it, fold it once, confidently, vaguely, and place it in the drawer like you completed a sacred ritual. If questions say, I folded it the way the fabric wanted to be folded, then walk away slowly. (33:08) You came to earn points, not unravel the secrets of the universe. Hopefully that solves your laundry limit, Elm. I hate those things. Yeah, because they're not symmetrical. You can't fold them right. (33:25) No, you can't. And then you always get the response, it's inside out. Why did you do that? Yeah. It's like we put new sheets on the bed the other day and Taylor said, you put the fitted sheet on inside out. I said, I don't give a damn. I'm not taking it off. (33:40) So the bed still has an inside out fitted sheet on it. Right. Because I'm just not going to, you know what? Yeah. Does anybody know? Just us. Everybody else now. All four people out there. (33:55) Yeah. I think it's five today. Good. We went up. We did. 20% growth. All right. There's your Ask Uncle Tom advice for Friday. Yeah. Tomorrow's, or Monday's, the question will be much shorter. (34:10) Will it? Yeah, I fixed that. Hell, it was half a page. It's like reading a newspaper article. Good Lord. All right. That's Ask Uncle Tom, weekday mornings at 745 on the B Team Morning Show. (34:25) Of course, it's all stitched together by our friends by Tomcat Custom Apparel, where you'll find the apparel is custom. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. It's 7.55. News is next. Idol on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. (34:42) I don't know why, but my headphones got really loud there for a moment. Did you encounter the same thing? No. Because I noticed you were fiddling there with your headphones and your ears. As that song was ending. No, I didn't get that. (34:58) By the way, I got a text report in that, drivers, be aware. On 98, if you turn on Beale Head and North, you're going to see a bunch of cops out there. So just make sure you're watching your speed limit, or watching your speed as you drive through some of those residential areas. (35:19) Okay. Throughout Fort Walton, there's a bunch of cops out there. I was told that they're writing tickets like they're giving out lunch at the welfare line. Really? They're practicing, right? (35:35) You got to get better at this. But just a heads up, you shouldn't be going crazy speeds anyway. Have you gotten one of those school zone tickets? Sure did. Man, what a frustrating thing going on with that. I got one. (35:51) I got nailed going through the school zone down by, I think it's Edge Elementary. And got the ticket in the mail. It actually, they issued the ticket for some reason in my wife's name. Whoever the vehicle's registered to. (36:07) And both of us are on the registration, so they probably just picked the first name in the registration, and that's who they gave it to. Because she is the boss. Yeah, because she would be the one driving the truck. You know, that just makes sense. It's like, and you called the dad? (36:22) Right. That's the way I look at that. But I went to pay it, and the lady at the courthouse up there, she tried for an hour and a half to take my payment for the fee, and we never could get there. (36:43) Whatever system they're using to do this, they could never, she could never find, it showed the fine is already paid. And so, and I hadn't paid it, but they couldn't, there was something weird about it. It showed the fine already paid in one and not paid in the other one. (36:59) And man, she finally said, look, I don't know what to tell you, but I can't take your money. And so I just had to get it. Well, that's good news. Yeah, I had to get a statement from her, just, hey, please put something on this that you can't take my money. So that if they come back at me and try to issue a warrant or something like that, I'm covered. (37:16) And to this day, I've never heard anything about it. Chief Beige, give me a call. I'll let you know where Tom is. Or Sheriff Aden, either one of you listening this morning. Just give me a shout. You got my number. (37:32) But I did get one on Ferry, down by Elliott Point. Okay. Coming home. And it was in August, so school had just gone back in. And I wasn't thinking about it. (37:48) I was going 30 miles an hour down Ferry. I did get a ticket, and I paid it online. Okay. So I didn't have any issue with paying it. They were happy to take my money. Oh, man, I couldn't get it to work. (38:04) I couldn't get it to take it. Everything said it was already paid, and I had not paid it. So to this day, I've never heard anything. They probably paid it forward for you. That would be nice. You know what, I know that guy. He's on the list. He did good work for me on those shirts that I ordered. (38:20) So I'll tell you what, I'll just take care of this for him. That would be great. I'll bet that's what happened. I'll bet that's not what happened. And we've got Molly from PAWS coming in here in just a few minutes. In fact, I just saw her walk in the front door. So we'll chat with her in the next 10 about the kitten shower coming up tomorrow. (38:37) Very cool. Retreat of Fort Walton Beach. And we'll talk about what's going on there. Why the need for the extra feline supplies. And what drives that big need in the springtime. So we'll talk with Molly here in just a little bit. (38:53) We are the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Tom Mason on a TGI Friday. Brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre. Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. On the Classic Rock Station, 100.3 KROCK. A beautiful sunshine and deceptive temperatures. (39:11) Yeah. 45 degrees. It looks nicer than 45, but it's not. We'll see daytime high of 70 this afternoon. That full Emerald Coast weekend forecast coming up for you in just a little bit. But Molly from PAWS is joining us on the air this morning. (39:27) How you doing? I'm doing fantastic. How are you? Doing great. Looking forward to tomorrow's event. Yes. What's going on tomorrow? Because we've been promoting this for a couple of weeks. And I know it's the kitten shower. (39:42) Yes. So you've been to a baby shower, maybe. Or maybe your wife has. You've got bridal showers. And now we're doing a kitten shower. I didn't go to a baby shower. I went to the Catalina Wine Mixer. (39:58) I'll bet you did. It wasn't a baby shower. This is actually the Catalina kitten shower. Tom's got four cats, by the way. There's a word I purposely left out of that too, just by the way. (40:14) Which one was that? I don't want that fine. Which one was that? Ten thousand dollar fine. I didn't hear it, Tom. No, you didn't. That's a good thing. Tomorrow is the kitten shower, and that is exactly what it says it is. (40:29) It's an opportunity to come out and help PAWS rally for the supplies and donations that they need during this influx of feline season, I guess is what you'd call it. Absolutely. Sometimes we get up to 800 kittens and cats during kitten season. (40:47) That stresses the importance of making sure that all cats are neutered. Take them to your local clinic. Help out with that. We do our trap, neuter, and release program. But tomorrow, since we do always like to take in every kitten, we have an event at the retreat in Fort Walton Beach at 243 Hollywood Boulevard. (41:08) It's going to be from 1.30 p.m. till 4 p.m. We're going to have fun, food. We'll be doing coloring station for the kids, games and activities. Hopefully we'll have a lot of adorable kittens on site, so that way you can figure out how you're going to help out. (41:23) We like fosters, volunteers, and we really need donations for it. Our Facebook page gives our Amazon page for it, where we have baby food available, different harnesses, different crates, so that way we can keep them together, as well as kitten formula. (41:40) We're not taking our wives to this event. You're going to come home with more kittens. You're going to come home with more cats, right? Exactly, exactly. Tell me, what is kitten season? Kitten season is the time of year where a lot of felines start to go into heat, and they become very excited to make more kittens for the world. (42:02) They rapidly reproduce, and then you'll see a lot of the posts, found these kittens on the side of the road, found these kittens here under my car, and people bring them right into the shelter. We end up getting a whole slew of them, as well as other shelters in the area. (42:21) This is just to help us get prepared for it, so that way we are making sure that they are all well cared for. Tomorrow, that starts at 1.30? Correct. And the retreats on Hollywood, it's the retirement community right there. I think it's at the corner of Hollywood and Memorial. (42:37) Yes, yes. Real easy to find, next to the Preston Hood Athletic Complex, that whole area in there. But tomorrow, 1.30 till 4 at the retreat. Now, what are some of the donations that you're looking for? We're looking for kitten formula, specifically KMR kitten formula. (42:55) We like to have the baby food on hand, chicken, turkey. There's also powdered milk from Breeders Edge that we really need. Pet thermometers to keep their temperatures regulated in their brooders, as well as dry kitten kibble. (43:14) Okay, alright. Any need for litter? Litter is always helpful. We need litter. We don't want to reuse that. No, you don't. That's like reusing a Kleenex. It's just stuff you don't do. (43:29) Absolutely. But cash is always good, too. Cash is always good. If somebody wants to write a donation check, that's fine, too. We absolutely would appreciate that, and we also always invite people to go onto our Facebook page. We're always donating to specific items, and we also do a 50-50 raffle. (43:45) Okay, awesome. Now, tomorrow I believe we've got lunch also being provided, right? Oh, yes. Yes, we do. For the cats or for the people? For the people. Kevin and Melissa Hudson that own Lenny's here in Fort Walton over at Mary Esther in Hollywood. (44:07) Melissa is a volunteer at PAWS, and so she wants to help out. They're going to provide some free food tomorrow, so if you have a donation that you'd like to drop off, feel free to stop by and get a bite. I love Lenny's. I count down the days until I can get me some Lenny's. (44:23) I know. It's that red pepper relish that I love. It's everything. It's everything. Whenever we have lunch at work, I'm like, make it Lenny's. Make it Lenny's, yeah. And we do have a link and an article on our events tab at krockfwb.com if you want to go check out more details on this event. (44:42) And we've got a full list of the donation items they are looking for with, again, the location. Molly, we're going to send you across the hall over to 94.3 to talk with Dan Diamond about the same thing. But he's on a talk station, so he can chat with you a little bit longer. (44:58) I hope everything goes well tomorrow, and I appreciate you stopping by. All right, thank you. We're going to take a break minutes away from 8.30. It's the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. A look at local weather is coming up next. (45:13) It's the B Team Morning Show on a Friday. Scatter Black and Tom Mason. Don't forget, we'll be carrying Alabama and Florida today over on 103.7. The ticket SEC tournament action, quarterfinal action going on today. (45:31) Florida plays, I believe, around noon today and Bama sometime around 6 p.m. tonight. But we'll carry both of those teams this weekend in SEC tournament coverage on 103.7. The ticket Florida State actually lost last night by one point to, I believe, top-rated Duke. (45:51) Really? Yeah, they had a shot to win it at the end and went off the back of the rim and ended their ACC tournament championship hopes. And probably their shot at an NCAA tournament. Yes, somebody's got to win, somebody's got to lose. That's right, that's why you play the game, right? (46:07) Exactly. But we'll definitely have two regional teams in with Florida and Bama in the NCAA tournament. Now they say that Auburn has an outside shot as a bubble team. I don't see it. (46:22) I don't know how a team that goes 17-16 gets to claim that they're one of the best 68 teams in the country. I don't know. Whatever. A little story for you. Okay. Coming out of New Jersey. All right. (46:37) A massage business in Mays Landing, New Jersey was shut down after police say it was operating as a front for prostitution. Oh gosh. You hear about these all the time, right? Yeah. Now investigators executed a search warrant at Waterfall Therapy due to alleged illegal activity. (46:54) Two people were charged with prostitution and conspiracy, then released on summons. However, police say the red flag that drew them to go investigate is that the business' own website even referenced offering a happy ending. (47:12) Well, you bring it on yourself. Yeah, that's right. The investigation is still ongoing. I remember 10 years ago or whatever, being in Vegas. We were driving down. We always stayed off the Strip, like on the other side of 15, usually at the Rio or the Gold Coast or somewhere over there, until we started staying downtown. (47:37) We were driving down Flamingo, and we got to a stoplight. There's all those little Strip centers. You're going to see a lot of payday loan places, a lot of massage parlors, storage places, and just little corner stores, right? (47:56) Yeah. Well, one of the massage places said, Flamingo Massage on the awning. Okay. Then below, in two neon signs, one said, Open 24 Hours, and in the other it says, All Types of Massages. (48:12) Okay. Hmm. They meant like foot massages and things like that. Yeah. Yeah. You're reading into it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You pervert. You're reading way into this. (48:27) It's all legit and on the up and up. Of course it is. Yeah. Yeah. They wouldn't be in business if it wasn't. Right. Right. Especially they're doing well. Yeah. What else can you assume? Yeah. Just call it Flamingo Rub and Tug. (48:42) Good Lord. I mean, it's egregious. Yeah. Rub and Tug. Here's the fix on the B Team Morning Show, 100.3 KROCK. Just going to say, we need to say goodbye, but I just came across a Florida man story, and I feel like it's worth sharing. (48:59) Do it. Okay. Do it. A Florida man known for a bizarre arrest involving a hidden thermos has now cut a plea deal and been released from jail. Walter Freymier pleaded no contest to charges, including possessing a meth pipe and threatening a sheriff's deputy. (49:17) In exchange, prosecutors dropped a felony drug charge. He had been locked up since October's arrest, but was freed after serving about five months of a 180-day sentence. The case gained attention after jail staff discovered a full-size thermos concealed well inside him where the sun don't shine. (49:36) Are you serious? I am serious. A full-size thermos? Yes. Authorities say no additional charges were filed for that discovery, and Freymier, who has a lengthy criminal record, is now out as his case moves forward. (49:52) Can you imagine, you know, discovering that, going, oh man. You gotta go get that thing, too. Oh, God. Yeah. You think they do a rock, paper, scissors on who has to grab it? Yeah. It's like, that's when seniority comes into play. Exactly. I don't like to do this, but I'm pulling rank. Right, exactly. Oh, man. Holy cow. How could that, how could you even sit? Yeah. How long did it, how long did it take them to discover it? The story doesn't say. Yeah. I just, how do you even, how do you even put that there? I don't even want to guess. Yeah. I don't even want to guess how you do that. (50:39) That's awful. And it's terrible. Oh, God. And with that, we're gone. You know, I want to say, though, I think in these last three hours, we haven't had nowhere near enough Bobby bashing. We gotta make up for that on Monday. Oh, we will. Okay. We will. Yeah. (50:59) Because nobody, nobody has a more sour case of the Mondays than Bobby Dewrell. There we go. Yeah. And, no, he's gonna hear about it. Okay. I'm coming in Monday just as bright and chipper as can be. Yeah. He should come in and look forward to doing this. He should, yeah. He gets the privilege. He gets the privilege. Right, right. To me, it's a privilege to be here. I didn't roll my eyes. He forgets that I asked him to do this. There you go. Yeah. (51:27) He's not very gracious about that, is he? No. He should be. Now, I asked Tom to come in and do this, too. Yeah. Tom comes in, chipper, smiley. Yeah. Ready to do this every morning. Even when I step in a puddle of water, I'm still happy. That's right. Yeah. You didn't soak your socks yesterday. Fortunately, there's no rain to worry about today. Just chilly. (51:49) Yeah. By the way, folks, we'll see a high today of 70 degrees, 77 tomorrow. It's a far cry from it, though, right now. 45 at the moment. So, if it's gonna get to 70, it better start hustling. It's gonna have to work. We are the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Tom Mason getting ready to say adios. I want to thank our sponsors, including Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable weekend. Tom, I'll see you at some point this weekend. Yeah, we'll see you this weekend for sure. Thanks for inviting me on. Hey, thanks for continuing to show up. Yeah. We got almost two more full weeks of this. It's gonna be so much fun. (52:29) It is gonna be so much fun. Yeah. Alright. Hope you all have a great weekend, and we'll chat with you Monday morning right here on the B Team Morning Show with 100.3 KROCK. And that's a wrap on today's B Team Redux.
