National Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day: When Elastic Waistbands Replace Productivity—and Nobody Bats an Eye

(00:00) Here's today's B Team Redux. That kid's deaf. (00:32) Oh man, I've felt my eye teeth pop out with the music here. Man, Schuyler, we're praying for your hearing loss. Sorry, he's the only kid in his 30s that I know that's simultaneously 80. (00:47) This is true. This is true. Sitting over here to my left, we got Jim McPherson off the bench, one of the bench warmers. That's right. Hey, Jim, good morning. How are you? Good morning. How are you? Man, I'm doing pretty good. I love it. You just, you had a day off and you decided, why not get up at 6 a.m. and come on down to the show? (01:03) Nothing more I want to do on my day off than get up just as early as I normally get up. Yeah, but think about it. Normally you get to listen to the show every morning. Now you get to be the show. That's true. That's true. See, dreams do come true. Yeah. This is my dream. Jim's filling in because, well, Tom, he's a, he's a, he's a, he's Tom. (01:24) Yeah, I was trying to think of all the things I could say on the radio and nothing appropriate was coming to mind. Oh, folks, we got a great show lined up for you today. We got some, we got some wild news out there. Of course, it's a little, little around 740. We're going to have Ask Uncle Bobby. (01:40) Don't worry, I'm here. We've got, you know, just, just all kinds of things lined up and great, great music for you coming your way. But, hey, first thing that I wanted to talk about, just let's come right off the, off the ropes here. But a jury has found Live Nation and Ticketmaster, well, they said you guys operated a monopoly over concert venues. (02:01) Shocking. I know, right? Hard to believe. It's been like that since I was 12. Well, I was going to say since I was in, like, high school. Well, college, I know, with Ticketmaster. But, yeah, a federal jury found in Manhattan the company illegally held a monopoly in live event ticketing, siding with 34 states and the District of Columbia after a five-week trial. (02:23) Jurors said the behavior led to fans paying about $1.72 extra per ticket at big venues. The case argued the Live Nation controlled everything, ticketing, venues, and promotions, and used that power to lock in exclusive deals and drive up prices. (02:41) The company pushed back, saying being big and successful isn't illegal. But now a judge will decide the penalties, which could include forcing Live Nation to split from Ticketmaster. The verdict comes even after a separate federal case was settled last month, but states rejected that deal and kept fighting. (02:59) And now they've won. So there you go. Now if we can just get Congress to do something about the whole TV situation. Yeah. You know, we got rid of Big Bad Cable and went to all these independent providers who now, you know, oh, well, you can get Season 1 on this, but then you have to buy this to get Season 2. (03:17) So now everybody's spending more on entertainment than they ever did before. I would like to say that I had called this. I said this when they first cut us. I said, this is going to be a disaster. Oh, I know. I was the same way. I was like, you know, here's what I think's funny is everybody's going to cut the cable. (03:32) We're going to go to all these independent providers. Then everyone realizes that you've got 14 different places to look for a show. And so then what's going to happen is some aggregator's going to come along and re-aggregate it and sell it as a, hey, we pulled it all together and we're bundling it for you, which is exactly what Cable was. (03:52) You know, it's kind of like we broke up Ma Bell. Yeah. And they became all the cellular providers. And then all the cellular providers are now doing all the same nasty stuff that Ma Bell did. And they're consolidating again. Yep. (04:07) Anyway. All right. All right, folks. How about we play a little music and keep moving on? This is Tom Petty. You got lucky. Right here. 100.3k Rock. The Classic Rock Station. Keep it here. More great music coming your way. Don't go nowhere. Jim, that was David Bowie there with Modern Love. (04:24) You going to get me to the church on time? I might. I might. Folks, it's 6 o'clock. It's early. I'm sitting over here on mic one trying to figure my way around. Almost forgot that, yeah, it's 6 o'clock hour. (04:40) We do those wonderful little holidays for you. Very nice. Yeah. Yeah. And so we got one here, Jim, that I think is... Well, you were already complaining about it. (04:55) Yeah, I think... It's National Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day. And I wish I'd have known that. Instead, I got all dressed up in my suit and tie. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. You know, it's a holiday where it finally admits that half the office has never fully woke up in the first place, right? (05:13) Yeah. Yeah. Folks, it is National Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day. And it's that annual moment when grown adults collectively decide the dress code was the only thing keeping society from sliding into a beanbag chair. Yeah. Look, you show up in flannel like it's a power suit, clutch coffee like a moral defense, and pretend productivity doesn't crumble the second your waistband goes elastic. (05:37) HR calls it fun. Managers call it culture. And, well, the rest of it, call it a rehearsal for retirement. And if you think this is harmless, well, congratulations. Your optimism still fits in a carry-on. (05:54) Yeah, yeah. So National Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day. Listen, I know you're still getting up, getting ready, wondering what you should wear today. So there you go. That's your answer. Wear those pajamas. Right now, we're running to a high of 80. Today, we're sitting right at 61. (06:10) It's a beautiful day out there. It does really, really, really feel like a spring day, finally. Yeah? Yeah, it is beautiful out there today. Yeah. Well, hey, Jim, here's a song that I want you to think about. (06:25) And when we come back, I want you to give me three answers, okay? Okay. It's the Ramones. And it's What I Like About You. Is this What You Like About Me? No, no. What You Like About Me. Oh, that's not how the song goes. No, no, no. I need you to think what you like about me. (06:41) What was she, Jim? She was shaking. Was she shaking? Shaking. Was she shaking? That's the rumor. The rumor is she was shaking. That's right. Hey, folks, we're about half past 6 o'clock right here on the B Team Morning Show, brought to you in part by our friends over at Outkast Sushi, Okaloosa Gas. (07:01) Remember the sponsor names, Bobby. And Stripes Pub & Grill. Yeah, you're listening to the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. I'm Bobby Dewrell, sitting over here, and Mike One's filling in for Schuyler Black, who's off playing hooky. You know, he didn't get enough moving bear this past weekend, so now he's got to go to Iowa or Idaho or something. (07:19) One of those Iowa's. One of those I-States. It starts with an I and ends with a vowel. Idaho, Iowa. It's basically the same place. Indiana. That's Jim McPherson sitting over there on Mike Two, filling in, one of our benchwarmers. (07:39) Welcome back to the show. Thank you very much. It's been a while. Yeah, it's been a while. Let me tell you, I've got to catch you up on everything. So, you know, we regularly talk about our LGBT community. You know who that is, right? That's Larry Ipsch, Gary McCoy, and Barry Teusch, the LGBT, or as we also call them, the Aryans. (07:58) The Aryans. I've got to catch up. You know, I've got to have it both ways. Yep. Got to have it both ways. So, mainly we like to talk about Gary and Barry, because we refuse to call him Bear anymore. Yeah. Yeah, we like to talk about Gary and Barry, because they're always the ones that catch us every night and go like, oh, man, oh, I forgot to listen to the show today. (08:16) Well. Bear actually had the audacity the other day to say, you know, if your show ran from 9 to 12 instead of 6 to 9, I would listen. I'm like, oh, so you mean, like, at 9.05, when we publish the B Team Rewind, that's the entire show that runs from 9.05 to 12.05? (08:36) That's inconvenient for you? Yeah. I mean, it's the full run of show. It is. All the music, everything. You get to hear exactly what we did from 6 to 9. From 9 to 12 for people like Bear that can't get up that early. But still. I thought he had to work at that time. (08:52) Oh. Apparently not. Bear doesn't work. Yeah. He makes that up. He makes that up. Oh, well, hey, Jim, you know, it's something we're not doing right now, but it is National High Five Day. High five. Yeah, whoo. You know, I do think that's funny. (09:07) I've seen that emoji a lot. Yeah. So, for the record, folks at home, when you get noticed that someone's passed or you want to send out prayers, the little moving hands clapping together is not slapping your hands together in prayer. That's a high five. (09:22) That's a high five. Yeah. I was wondering, does that count? Does that count today? Yeah. Are we supposed to give more emoji high fives or are we supposed to celebrate human contact? Yes. By slapping palms like seals at SeaWorld, begging for snacks. (09:38) You know what? I think that's what we should do. Just manually for real? Yeah. See who notices. Folks, it is National High Five Day and it's the annual civic ritual where grown adults celebrate the ancient art of slapping palms like a legally binding contract. (09:56) Yeah, it's low commitment joy. You know, no gifts, no speeches. Just a quick hit of human contact and the comforting illusion that we're all of the same team for half a second. Somewhere between a sports bar victory and a corporate morale initiative, it turns random hallway encounters into mini parades of confidence. And if you think it's pointless, congratulations, you understand it perfectly, which means you're ready for the real problem. People who take it seriously. (10:26) Yes, I see that. I had a girl at work and every once in a while you'd walk down the walk down the hall and she'd be like, hey, high five, high five. But you know what? If anybody does that, everybody will do it. Oh yeah. It doesn't matter who it is. Yeah. Yeah. People you don't even know. High five and smack. That's one of my favorite things to do dressed as a pirate is just walk down the street and just hold my hand up. I like to do it as soon as I exit the restroom just to make sure. (10:50) Hey man, somebody took a wicked dump in there. You're showing confidence in me that I washed my hands. Oh yeah. We're all dying and going to hell. I know that's where it is. Well, hey, stick around. We got your Marine Report coming up right now. And then a few words from our sponsors. And then we're going to be back with Warrant and Styx and more. So y'all stick around. Don't go nowhere. Styx and Blue Collar Man right here on 100.3k Rock, the classic rock station. You know that song? So first of all, my dad never listened to classic rock, but it does make me think of my dad. But was it classic rock then? It was Styx. I grew up in that time too. But my dad was classic. My dad was more of a don't rock the jukebox. He was more of a Waylon and Willie and Hank. But yeah, Blue Collar Man does make me think of my old man. How about you? (11:48) Your dad was a blue collar guy, wasn't he? Yeah, absolutely. That's why I am not. I don't know if I am. I might be. I think I am. I think I try to dress myself up as not blue collar, but at the end of the day, I am. We all can tell. (12:03) I know. I know. That's why we're the B Team show, the Blue Collar Show. Hey, folks, you're listening to the B Team morning show right here at 100.3k Rock, the classic rock station, brought to you in part by our friends over at Stripes Pub and Grill, Outcast Sushi, and Occlusant National Gas. Oh, it's a beautiful morning. Man, it really is. Now, grass pollen is still a little high, but other than that, air quality is good. We're climbing on up. We're all the way up to 62, Jim. Sixty-two. I love it. (12:32) Sixty-two degrees. Now, a little bit of fog is starting to roll in right now. We got a slight chance of rain today, like right around 15%, but I don't think that'll really hold out. Going to get all the way up to 80 before we hit our high today. Tonight, we're going to see 61 with a few passing clouds, winds west-southwest 5-10. All in all, it's a great day. (12:56) I think it's good boating weather out there. I would call this a chamber of commerce day. Yeah. That's the way I think. I think the weather really plays to it. Hey, what else are we going to do? Because I know I've almost had a few run-on sentences here, but that's in honor of what today is. (13:14) I need a little more pause in there. It's world semicolon day. Not to be confused with colon. That's right. This could be many different things. Totally different, but this is world semicolon day. Celebrating the punctuation for people too indecisive to end a sentence, but not brave enough to start a new one. (13:35) There you go. Exactly. You know, we've really lost the use of the semicolon. I think it's funny because every now and then I like to read some of the older books and things like that. I kind of laugh. I'm like, man, you can tell that ADD has hit the world because new books, it's like all these short choppy sentences. It's quick. It's like reading Dan Brown. (13:56) But then you get to Chaucer and it takes you two pages to get to a period. What's a hyphen in here for? I'm trying to say that all in the same breath. (14:12) Oh, world semicolon day is that annual moment when writers, coders and the, well, the chronically overeducated gather to honor a punctuation mark that refuses to pick a lane. That's right. It's the little hook that says I'm not done yet. (14:28) Even when everyone else is begging you to wrap it up and go home. No, people celebrate by posting scratch, smug grammar takes arguing about style guides like their sacred text and pretending a tiny ink squiggle can restore order to a world that can even keep its password straight. Yeah, it's absurd. Sure. But if you're if, but if you've ever had a sentence, a program or a life decision crash because you miss something small, well, you already know why this thing has a fan club. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. World semicolon day, folks. Just think about that. So start using the semicolon. That's right. That's right. You should. So. All right. So there you go. Is it semi or semi? Oh, I would say semi. Yeah. But you just said semi truck. Yes. Right. I don't know. This is this is true. All right. Hey, more, more, more, more stunning debates to come. But right now we got Peter Gabriel and right here on one hundred point three KROCK still to come Fleetwood Mac, Boston and more. So stick around. Don't go nowhere. (15:41) That was Van Halen with in the cradle will rock right here on one hundred point three KROCK, the classic rock station. You're listening to The B Team morning show right here. One hundred point three KROCK. And, you know, it's brought to you in part by our sponsors. That's who I should say next. That's who I should talk about. Yeah, I apologize. I was I'm getting I'm getting updates and trying to run the board. It's it's you know, I'm 80, but still. Anyway, brought to you in part by our friends over at Stripes Pub and Grill, Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi. You know, the one food you don't need gas for. That's that's because Schuyler sold the sponsorship packages. That's why. Yeah. See, that's how you tie everybody together. All right, folks. Well, it's it's it's been a morning. It's been fun. We're here. We're getting it. We're we're dusting off some cobwebs. But but, hey, you know, if if there's if there's not another day that makes you think it's on Hillsman, I don't know what does other than not national ask an atheist day. (16:50) Is John an atheist? He claims to be, you know, but I mean, atheist, Catholic, whichever. Yeah, whatever it takes. Yeah. So this is the one holiday where you can ask questions, get five footnotes and still end up praying for the segment to end. (17:06) Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Where do you fall in that, Jim? You got some atheists you're going to ask today? I don't have any real questions for him. I know that I've, you know, I've heard a few things about him. You know, there's a bear, an atheist walking in the woods and he sees a bear and he says, oh, God, please help me. And God comes down the way it's parked. And he says, it's too late, my son. I'm sorry. Because, well, if could you if you can't convert me, can I can you convert the bear? So he boom converts the bear and the bear drops down on his knees and said, thank you, Lord, for this meal, which I'm about to partake. (17:44) There you go. There you go. That's that's one way it's national ask an atheist day. It's the one holiday where people finally ask honest questions. Then get mad. The answers don't come with free comfort and acquire. Bring your curiosity. Leave your pearl clutching at the door. (18:03) It's not a confession booth, folks. It's a reality check. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. You know, what do you ask an atheist? How do you feel about nothing? Yeah. Yeah. Nothing. Everything came from nothing. What do you believe in? Nothing. Nothing. You know, I, you know, if you believe in nothing and but but so there's the question. If you believe in nothing, then you're believing in something. That's true. Because you're something is nothing. (18:27) That is. Oh, yeah. Yes. Let that one stick with you. Okay. While they short circuit, we're we're going to play what I felt like was the most appropriate song to come out of a discussion about atheists. Okay. Yeah. Cree's Clearwater. Yeah. Little CCR. All right. Bad man rising song that describes Tom Mason without telling me the song. (18:48) Trying to be a jukebox hero. Yeah. Trying to be an armchair quarterback to Hey, Tom, you didn't come into the studio this morning. STFU. I concur. I concur. Oh, hey, folks, it's about 20 past the the hour here of seven o'clock. (19:05) It's it's still a beautiful morning, man. It's it's getting on up there. Now we do have some fog that's going to be rolling through until about nine o'clock this morning. So keep that on. But we're up to 63 degrees out there with some some small slight winds out of the you know, out of the northwest northwest. It's like two miles an hour. It's not that big. I got great air quality today. Now, if you got some seasonal allergies, grass pollen is. Well, it's there. Yes. Very old people. You might you might hear me sniffling and that that's what it is. It's not a bad cocaine addiction. It's just grass pollen. We're we're running running up to 80 degrees today. It's yesterday was beautiful. Today's going to be great. It's actually all rest of the week. (19:50) You know, it's kind of funny. Schuyler leaves and takes off. It's all the gray clouds away. That's good. Yes, he does. Yeah, there's always sunshine when he's gone. We're just having a good time here on National Atheist Day It is National Atheist Day. So so so what was your joke earlier about the the priest and the rabbit? (20:18) Yeah, a priest an atheist and a rabbit walk into a bar. Uh-huh rabbit looks at the other two and says guys I don't know how to taste. I think I'm a typo I love it. I love it. I love it. Hey speaking of speaking of atheists that reminds me of our friends You know, this is this is another one for John and Patty out there I I can tell I can tell where their road trip is this summer right hmm, but Florida is renaming a major roadway after President Trump. Oh, that's right. That's right Governor Ron DeSantis sign a bill that's going to rename State Road 80 Also currently known as Southern Boulevard in parts of South Florida as the President Donald J. Trump Highway, that's right The road stretches about 120 miles across the state from Palm Beach County on the east coast to Lee County on the west This expands an earlier move that only renamed a small section near Mar-a-Lago Now the entire route will carry the name the change takes effect July 1 with new signs going up along the highway, so John Do not Keep keep the spray paint in your house Do not take putting this rape if I catch you with a can with the case of spray paint We know where you're going. That's right. You know, hey, actually actually, you know, I think this is a smart move I think they're doing that because you know, they're figuring it'll it'll draw all the no King's protesters to one spot. That's a good Every sign every sign Every time put them just right on one roadway. Yep one roadway that we all know we're gonna avoid Anyway, Jim what else anything else going on new over in your world there any any fun stories out there for you? (22:07) Nothing new today is Roger Murdoch's birthday better known as NBA Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul Jabbar No, well, happy birthday, right? Thank you What's the vector mr.

So y'all stick around don't go nowhere Well quite honestly, just just fumbling around trying to figure out what the hell I'm doing at some point, right? Yeah You so Schuyler is not nearly as useless as we thought he was. Well Schuyler only has one thing to do I've got everything to do right now. Yeah, I'm what I'm trying to say is I'm carrying your weight Jim.

We've got a Question I assume today somebody's written in they're looking for something. Yes. This is from accidental crown holder. Mm-hmm It sounds like Tom probably is Tom Tommy you could have just said it was you but yeah, you know, whatever whatever Okay, I keep ending up as the leader in group projects and even casual plans with friends I do most of the organizing people rely on me and I feel burned out and under Unappreciated how do I stop becoming the default leader without everything falling apart? (24:09) Hmm. Well, first of all Accidental crown holder. Listen, you do not have a leadership problem. Okay, what you have is a population problem You keep getting surrounded by perfectly capable adults who suddenly turn into decorative pillows the minute the decision needs making now Listen, here's the truth. Okay, you're not the default leader No, you're just the last functioning engine on a sinking ship and instead of throwing you a medal they throw you another task and Listen, if you're gonna wear that crown, then you got to wear it like it weighs something Okay, you got to start collecting a leadership tax not feelings not gratitude. No currency Okay, if the group wants you to pick the restaurant then Coordinate the time book the thing heard the cats then everybody pays for the privilege of your guidance and You announce it like a law carved into stone.

That's right. Then you got to weaponize your absence Yeah, when they stall you do not rescue them You let the plan wobble in public because nothing teaches urgency like a little embarrassment in the daylight And if they still refuse to act like a team Then you just go full monarch you create a group charter deadlines rolls penalties and rewards Like you're running a small nation with a suspiciously lazy Parliament Look, they're either gonna step up or they'll pay up but either way You win crown holder you win Bravo bravo.

So hey and in case you're wondering Chatbot conversations AI chatbot conversations. Well, they can't be used against people in court This is bad news That's right lawyers are wonder we're warning that what you tell an AI chat bot could come back to hurt you in court a recent Federal ruling found that a chat conversation with AI doesn't have the same legal protection as talking to a lawyer Meaning that they can be turned over as evidence in criminal and or civil cases That's right in one case a man tried to keep his AI generated documents private, but the judge said no He said chatting with an AI is basically like sharing information with the third party not a Confidential attorney so a I may feel private But legally it's not and anything you type into the chat bot could potentially be used against you So including the answers I'm guessing yeah Yeah, so how to how to bury a body is probably not a good thing to plop in a chat bot probably not So anyway that that that's for you out there I know one of the Aryans it will love the fact that we're sharing a little legal advice on here Yeah, there you go. Yeah. Yeah, there you just what we do. It's what we do So Jim, how you doing over there? I am fantastic.

(29:59) That's right, that's right. What's the old, you know, if you can't, if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with. There you go. Well, speaking of AI, a lot of Americans are turning to AI for health service. Did you read this? Oh, no, I didn't see that one. Yeah, so one in four adults use AI or chatbots for medical or mental health questions. (30:17) Oh. And sometimes 14% do it without even going to a doctor after that. Well, I chatted with a chatbot. The chatbots told me I was just perfectly fine, that those tendencies were okay. (30:32) That's totally fine to want to sniff shoes. Yeah. Oh, geez. Man, I, you know, the AI thing, it's, yeah, I just don't know where to go with that. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. (30:47) It's great. It's wonderful. But, boy, is it getting misused. Yep. And I saw an ad the other day that really cracked me up, too, that's like, you know, stop using artificial intelligence. Use synthetic intelligence. (31:03) Okay. Yeah, but I own a thesaurus, too. Yes. All right. We've got NXS with what you need right here on the B Team Morning Show. 100.3 KROCK. You're listening to Bobby and Jim. (31:20) Well, you know, it's who you get. Bad Finger, day after day, right here on 100.3 KROCK, the Classic Rock Station. You're listening to the B Team Morning Show with Bobby and Jim, because Schuyler, he sucks. (31:36) Yeah, yep, yep. He's out of here. He's listening somewhere, though. Obviously, he's not really vacationing. He's in, I'm not sure how they pronounce it. Iowa? Iowa. Iowa. Iowa. Iowa. I'm not sure how you say that. (31:51) Idaho. That's right. Yeah. You know, it's that flaming liberal state. Corn. That's right. Corn. Corn. Let's talk about corn. They have all the left corn. Corn for the lefties. That's what it is. Where they deep fry everything. Yeah. (32:06) Deep fry everything. Deep fried corn. They don't know how to eat it if it's not deep fried. That's right. Hey, you know, interesting trend going on out there. I'm sure it's a little different in Iowa because they deep fry it. But right now, they say more Americans are getting their coffee at home. (32:21) I know I get my coffee at home. Yeah. Yeah. Americans are drinking more coffee at home than they have in 14 years. And it's mainly because of remote work and higher prices. I think it's mainly because most of the coffee out there sucks. Yeah. (32:36) Yeah. Well, a study found that 85% of coffee drinkers had their coffee at home. And that's the highest level since 2012. Now, why the shift? Well, fewer people are commuting. Coffee shop prices are too damn high. And it's cheaper and easier to make it yourself. (32:51) Plus, they argue that home coffee machines have gotten good enough to rival cafe drinks. Now, people are still drinking coffee at the same overall rate, right? It's about 2.8 cups a day on average. So, the average person, about 3 cups a day. (33:06) But when they go out, it's more likely at work or a drive-thru than sitting in a coffee shop. Yeah. So, there you go. I don't think I've ever sat in a coffee shop. Oh, yeah? Yeah. I've gotten coffee from them before but never stayed. Yeah. (33:21) Yeah. It's rare. I mean, I work from home, so I'll meet with some clients at coffee shops is what I tend to do. But frankly, a lot of times, the things they're buying in the coffee shops is not really coffee. Yeah. (33:36) Yeah. True. True. It's a coffee-flavored beverage. When I lived in Charlotte, I had one guy that I usually had to meet with. I wouldn't call him toxic masculinity, but he was very homophobic, very freaked out about stuff. (33:56) And it was funny. And God rest him. He's moved on now. But I used to go and take those meetings with Charlie, and I knew we'd meet. And so, I'd always kind of run a couple minutes later. I'd try to get there first. You know, whatever, just so we weren't at the same time. So, I'd have to, you know, hey, let me go grab something to drink. (34:12) So, I'd walk up to Starbucks, and I'd get a strawberry frappuccino with extra whipped cream so that I'd come and sit with it. Just this huge pink drink with all the… Sprinkles. Yeah. Extra sprinkles. He'd just sit there. He'd just stare at it and go, I can't. I can't do this right now. (34:28) I'm like, well, you know, it's not a bad thing, Charlie. Don't worry about it. Nobody's thinking anything about it. They just figure we're here on a date. And I, you know, I'm telling you, one of these days when I'm down there looking up at all you guys. Down there. (34:44) That's right. High expectations. Well, the atheist thing. I'm going to remember the good times. Good times. Oh, no, I'm not an atheist. No, I totally believe. I just know where I'm going. Looking up going, it was totally worth it. That's right. (34:59) It was totally worth it. All right, folks. We got our weather report coming up right now. A few words from our sponsors. Then we're going to be back with some Motley Crue, Tom Petty, and more. So y'all stick around. Motley Crue in the wild side right here. 100.3k rock, the classic rock station. (35:16) You're listening to the BT Morning Show with Bobby and Jim because Schuyler's… He's walking on the wild side, I think. Oh, is that what it is? Is there a wild side in Ottawa? Probably not. I don't know. I've been there. Yeah. He's eating some aged beef right now. (35:31) That's what he's doing. That is the wild side. He's gone over to Paula. He's gotten him an aged beef dip with some aged beef and a pretzel roll. Yeah. That's what he's done. That's the wild side for him. I know. You know how much of that he's going to bring back to me? Zero. Absolutely none because that's what he does. (35:47) I went to Greece and we brought back gifts for them. Oh, that's nice. They won't bring anything back. No. No, they won't. No. They won't. Just saying. Just saying. And conveniently, he's no longer listening to the show, I'll bet you anything. Oh, yeah. Oh, I missed that part. (36:02) Oh, I missed that part. I didn't know you would want anything. How was I supposed to bring it back? I bet you got some corn. There's corn. You'll probably bring back a freaking ear of corn. That sounds about right. That sounds about right. Hey, you know, the Magic Kingdom isn't as magic. (36:20) It's not. Yeah. A fight over line cutting at Disney World ends with an arrest and it involved a flight attendant. Oh, wow. Yeah. A 47-year-old Virgin Atlantic crew member was standing in line for a ride at Magic Kingdom when an 18-year-old girl and her friend tried to move ahead of them to rejoin a group. (36:37) Investigators say he refused to let them pass, and when one of the girls tried to go around him, he allegedly shoved her with both hands, knocking her into her friend. Now he was arrested and charged with battery and later released on a $1,000 bail and has pleaded not guilty. (36:52) Of course. I didn't even think you could... How do you even cut in line? Aren't there like little bars and everything you can't even get through there? They were trying to catch up with their friends or whatever. I get it. But let's break this down. First of all, 47-year-old. Yes. 47. (37:07) Flight attendant. Yep. He. He. All right. I'm going to break that down again. 47-year-old flight attendant. He. He. You know what? He's probably got some anger issues. Yeah. Yeah. You see, was he alone? Who else with him in this line? (37:22) Curious. Who knows? Who knows? Could have been just him. He's a flight attendant. It's assuming that he flew there on layover or something. Yeah. Who knows? Who knows? So, you know, it's what it is. You know, there's crazier things to get angry about, and there's better ways to have handled it. (37:42) We'll say that. Better ways. But I'm going to guess he's probably not made the best life choices. You're probably correct. I mean, but flight attendants having to deal with people going to Orlando. (37:57) Yeah. Yeah. Let me tell you. There's a. Yeah. And again, it's Virgin Atlantic. So, you know, they don't they don't have quite a, you know, it is what it is. But yeah. And, you know, I mean, I, you know, that's why I'm saying, you know, he's probably got a lot of pent up rage. (38:15) Yeah. That's why I'm saying there's a lot. There's a lot there. Forty seven year old flight attendant. Yeah. Probably got a lot of pent up rage. He's probably not been doing the job for just over a week. You're probably right. Just saying. Just saying. So keep that in mind. (38:31) You know, it's like I like to try to tell people all the time. You know, we usually travel with a group and everything. And one of my biggest statements is always, listen, the minute we get our ticket and you go through the TSA line, when you get on the other side of that TSA line and tell the time we are at the destination airport with our bags in hand, you are in control of nothing. (38:57) Yeah. No one you are going to speak to is in control of anything. True, true. That is true. So you can get freaked out about it and insecure and be a little neurotic and emotional, you know, fine. (39:15) Ain't going to change a thing. Nope. Or you can say, all right, what do we do? How do we solve this problem? You can do it. There you go. That's right. Schuyler, they need you. You know what? That just makes him want to get back here faster. (39:33) That does. I got to do this before he completely implodes. Oh, you know, I just don't do it enough. That's part of the problem. Yep. So anyway, hey, it's about 10 minutes till the hour. And what do you think about, I mean, we'll play a couple more songs, but think about getting up out of here. (39:52) I think so. I think it's time. Yeah. I think it's time. Yeah. Any parting words? You know, listen, hey folks, it's gotten a little warmer. I'll get back to you. I'm not going to time you. It's getting a little warmer out there. I think it's climbed on up to about 69 degrees. (40:11) Nice, nice. Fog should be burning off now. It's going to be gone by 9 o'clock, so they say. We're going to hit 80 degrees today. It's going to be just a wonderful, beautiful day. Chance of rain is down to 2%. All right, all right. That's right. Got a light wind about 3 miles an hour out of the northeast right now. (40:28) Dew point's running pretty low, so it's going to be a little muggy. A little muggy, but pollen is a little bit of a bear out there right now, so keep that in mind. Oh, they adjusted down our high today. Not going to make it to 80. 79. (40:43) Going to make it to 79. Sweet. Sweet. I can put away those extra, that extra. Actually, I better break out that extra t-shirt. Yeah, yeah. Hey, and speaking of which, that UV index is pretty high out there. It's going to be 10 out of 11 today, so it's going to get you before you know it. (41:00) So if you're wanting to hang out at the beach, you're a spring breaker down here thinking something like that, or you just got that random Thursday off and you want to go hit the beach, keep in mind, slather up a little bit. Stay safe. Stay in the shade. That's right. That's right. It's going to be a toasty one today. (41:16) Jim, any final words, parting suggestions, thoughts? You're not going to be with us tomorrow. I know this was a one-day deal for you. Yeah. But thanks for coming in off the bench. Appreciate it. No problem. No problem. Nope, I have nothing. Nothing to say here. (41:31) Kind of sums up your life. Yeah, it really does. It really does. It's kind of just hanging out. Yeah. Yeah. You're doing a little Jerry Reed on me? Yep. She got the gold mine? I got the show? I hope not. I hope not. I got a meeting with the lawyer in a minute. (41:47) Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah, yeah. We'll see. Hey. I'm probably going to end up paying him a couple hundred dollars to talk about bourbon. Well, you know, that's kind of funny. We had a conversation in one of the charitable groups that I'm in, and we were talking about, hey, we usually give out huge sums of money at the end of the year. (42:09) And so this year they were saying, oh, yeah, we made sure that we gave everybody a letter this year that said, hey, this is not a guarantee of future funding and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Someone's like, well, why did we suddenly do that? And they're like, oh, well, because with the downturn in the economy in some places that have typically given, they've been sued for not giving the same amount because the charities are claiming that they, and we had the, well, that's kind of a stupid and back and forth about it. (42:34) And somebody finally piped in and said, well, did that ever settle or what happened? I mean, like who won that case? And you know what my answer was? The lawyers. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. That's who wins every case. They do. The lawyers. Yeah. They do. (42:49) Yeah. Because win or lose, they still got a bill. That's right. That's right. And hey, Larry, I know you're listening, so go ahead and give me an amen. Yes. That's pretty well. He says he knows it as he bathes in his champagne for the morning. Yeah. Yeah. (43:04) And by the way, his legal advice today was it was totally senseless to have pushed those young ladies that he would have snatched a knot in their tail. So take that straight from the legal counsel standpoint. (43:19) Yeah. Yeah. That is privileged information. I'm going to hold on to that. You guys can't tell anybody. Hey, I have given him a dollar. He has retained. As a matter of fact, at one point, I think I've given nearly every attorney in town a dollar so that they're all retained. (43:34) Yeah. There you go. All right, folks. That's about it for us today. We're going to move on out of here. You've been listening to the BT Morning Show on 100.3K Rock, your classic rock station. It's brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill, Outkast Sushi, and our friends over at Okaloosa Gas. (43:50) Reminding you to go and check out TheBTeamShow.com. That's right.

(44:06) Everything from Fry It With a Cause tomorrow on through. So keep that in mind and have some fun out there. With that, I'm going to say thanks for listening to the BT Morning Show, your leading alternative quality programming. We know you have a choice in what you listen to each and every day, and we appreciate the fact that you dialed in on this wild ride that we call the Morning Show. (44:26) But it's come that time of day, we're going to get on out of here. And that's what we're doing. So you keep on rocking. Keep on rolling. Never settle for the ordinary. Until the next time, the B Team is out. And that's a wrap on today's B Team Redux.
