**Palm Sunday & the $150 Easter Candy Crisis: Why Bobby's Stoic Patience Is Already Gone**
Description
We dragged stoicism back from Greece, only to weaponize it against Congress, fridge-dwelling burglars, and the existential dread of Easter candy inflation—because when patience runs thin and bourbon runs deep, philosophy becomes a contact sport.

Show Notes
Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell kicked off Thursday morning on 100.3 KROCK, Fort Walton Beach's classic rock station, with Bobby freshly returned from his Greek odyssey—and already complaining about Easter candy inflation (up 65% since 2020, apparently). Nothing says "welcome back" like realizing your post-vacation bank account is about to take another hit. Palm Sunday's this weekend, which means it's time to drop $500 on groceries and pretend you're excited about it. Bobby, ever the beacon of gratitude, declared he's "never been so proud to be a diabetic." We celebrated Legal Assistance Day, that lightly-acknowledged office holiday honoring the heroic organizers who keep attorneys from billing themselves into oblivion—usually with lukewarm coffee and a grocery store cake they had to arrange themselves. Then came National Spinach Day, the annual tribute to the leafy green everyone respects and nobody craves, followed by Solitude Day, because nothing says holiday spirit like celebrating the absence of all people. Bobby's at full capacity on patience after two weeks abroad, so Tallahassee better watch out this weekend.
The guys dove into the ongoing DHS funding disaster—40 days without pay for TSA and ICE agents—while Congress can somehow still vote themselves paychecks. Bobby went full scorched-earth on Capitol Hill, calling out the insanity of punishing federal workers for enforcing laws Congress refuses to change. The head of TSA warned that some U.S. airports could shut down if the standoff drags on, which would be a nightmare for tourist season here on the Emerald Coast. Elon Musk offered to cover TSA paychecks, but legal obstacles tied to his federal contracts are standing in the way. Meanwhile, Bobby's ready to throw every member of Congress off a building in Iran—his words, not ours. The frustration is real, and frankly, we're with him. Democrats are conflating illegal immigration with legal immigration, insulting everyone who did it the right way, and Bobby's not here for it. If you disagree, call Dan Diamond—because this isn't a talk show, and we don't argue with stupid people.
After two weeks of "Uncle Tommy," Uncle Bobby returned with stoic wisdom courtesy of TomCat Custom Apparel (your party may be shut down in Panama City Beach, but there's no reason you can't still have matching shirts). An over-caffeinated intern wrote in about feeling overwhelmed by work and family expectations, and Bobby channeled Socrates, the Stoics, and Epicurus to deliver the ultimate life hack: mind your own damn business and enjoy lunch. Modern life is a slot machine that only pays out anxiety, so stop treating every expectation like a divine commandment carved into marble. The Greeks figured this out in sandals with no email—simple pleasures are the highest good, and you're spiritually authorized to ignore loud expert types with color-coded calendars. Bobby's back, cultured and ready to drop philosophy bombs like Zeus throwing lightning. Answering one Uncle Bobby every two weeks is way easier than 250 a year, so we're sticking with that.
In local news, a 12-year-old suspect in Tuesday's stabbing at Walton Middle School in Freeport is facing six charges, including attempted murder. The attack, which lasted about 45 seconds, left two seventh-graders in critical condition and a paraprofessional injured. Sheriff Michael Atkinson said the motive is still unclear and victim selection appears random, leaving more questions than answers. Bobby urged caution before casting blame on the parents—kids make their own choices, and this family is likely in shock themselves. We're withholding judgment until more facts come out. On a lighter note, the U.S. Army raised its maximum enlistment age from 35 to 42, widening the recruiting pool and loosening marijuana possession rules. The Marine Corps caps enlistment at 28, because Marines aren't paid to think—they're paid to do. No disrespect, just facts. Bobby also shared his surprisingly smooth experience coming through Atlanta customs (global entry for the win), proving that when federal workers aren't getting paid, they somehow work faster. Go figure.
This weekend, Bobby and the crew are headed to Tallahassee for reasons we won't fully explain, but roadies and a jam fest are definitely in the cards. Don't forget the Bunny Hop Trail event tomorrow night at the Fort Walton Rec Center—starts at 5:30 p.m., free and family-friendly, with the Easter Bunny, bounce houses, and treats for the kids. The Sweet 16 tips off tonight, and Bobby's Hawkeyes upset Florida, so he's feeling himself. Dense fog advisory this morning, 61 degrees heading to a high of 80—should burn off in a couple hours. Thanks to our sponsors at Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach for keeping this ship afloat. Bobby's back, the stoic wisdom is flowing, and we're out here doing the Lord's work—or at least pretending to. Keep on rocking, keep on rolling, and never settle for the ordinary. The B Team is out.
Transcript
(00:00) Here's today's B Team Redux. Coming up this weekend, it's Palm Sunday. (00:33) Time to go spend $500 on groceries for Easter. We were talking about candy yesterday. It's like, oh my gosh. Yeah, Bobby, before you got in yesterday, when you were doing some aftermarket work on your Jeep. That's part of Jeep ownership. (00:50) We had a story about Easter candy is up 65% since 2020. Never been so proud to be a diabetic. What was it, about $150 now, annually? Yeah, what you used to spend $90 on is over $150 now. (01:06) Ouchie, wow. Thank God you don't need candy. Who the hell spends $150 on Easter candy? That's what we were talking about. We said this story is brought to you by your local dentist office. That's right. Friggin' Moonjaro strikes again. Well, today on the National Day Calendar, Larry Hibbs, if you're listening. (01:27) Prick your ears up. It's Legal Assistance Day. Oh, wow, yeah, just what we need there. It's a day to celebrate the people that are ushering you to hell. Come on, it's right in here. Hey, it's that annual, lightly-acknowledged office celebration, dedicated to the people who actually keep the legal world from collapsing into chaos, while the attorneys bill for it. (01:51) Those heroic organizers of calendars, chasers of signatures, translators of lawyer-speak, and quiet fixers of urgent problems created five minutes before a deadline. It's marked by lukewarm coffee, a grocery store cake, and a heartfelt email thanking them for their invaluable support, which roughly translates to, we would be completely lost without you, but we'll continue to pretend otherwise. (02:15) Right, you know, the saddest part of that whole thing is the legal assistant has to arrange all of that. Yes, I know. Karen, get yourself something nice today, and make sure the cake says how much I appreciate you. (02:30) Man, you heard your uncle do that, didn't you? And it was Karen. And I tell you what, you know what? Put an extra $5 on it today. What a guy. That's right. All right, stay with us. (02:45) More holidays to get to. Plus, tomorrow is the annual Money Hop Trail event over at the Rec Center. Oh, that's right. Preview that here in just a bit. All right. Right now, a song about Bobby Skinner, Simple Man. That's right. Today, we salute you, Mr. Popeye the Sailor Man. (03:04) It's National Spinach Day. Brought to you by your mother. Eat your spinach. And your broccoli. All the greens. No, I don't like them. It's a great day when you've got to celebrate greens. (03:19) That's not something you want to say in the South, is it? No, yeah. We eat actual greens, not spinach. What kind of greens did you eat in Greece? Oh, God, all of it. I mean, I think there was some ryegrass, some crabgrass. (03:37) I figured he'd come back and change his last name to, like, Durellos. Durellopicus. Yeah. It's still going to happen. Yeah. Okay. Not quite, but yeah. National Spinach Day. The annual tribute to the leafy green everyone claims to respect and almost no one craves. (03:55) Celebrated by dutifully pretending it's delicious rather than merely virtuous. Oh, man, yeah. It's the day spinach gets its moment in the sun. Tossed into smoothness to be disguised, buried under dressing in salads or sautéed into submission, while people loudly praise its nutrients as if iron content alone could make it exciting. (04:20) In short, it's less about loving spinach and more about convincing yourself you should. That's right. Here's to you, too, too. God, why do we keep talking about crap on your face and bending over and now tossing salads? Yeah, that's right. Well, that's the direction this show has gone. (04:37) Yeah. Rather dark. Yeah. Over the cliff. All right. It's the B Team Morning Show. Don't forget, coming up tomorrow night is the Bunny Hop Trail event over at the Fort Walton Rec Center and the Preston Hood Athletic Complex starts at 5.30. (04:52) Family-free friendly event starts at 5.30, goes until 8.30. Easter Bunny will be there. Of course, there's going to be treats and snacks and bounce houses and all sorts of games and prizes for the kids. So get over there and check it out. We've got more details for you on it on thebteamshow.com. (05:09) Just click on the Events tab. All right. We'll take a break and look at your marine forecast. It's coming up next on 100.3 KROCK. The Classic Rock Station, 100.3 KROCK and online at kroqfwb.com. Hope everybody's doing well on this Thursday morning. (05:25) It's the B Team Morning Show brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas at Outkast Sushi. Schuyler Black, Bobby Durrell, Tom Mason back at it on a Thursday morning. A short work week for Bobby this week. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He hasn't been doing anything. (05:41) Is there anything ever but a short work week for Bobby? Yeah. Yeah. He comes back. Relaxing. Relaxing. Two-week international getaway. Right. Right. With a cruise in the middle of it. That didn't happen. Yeah, I don't care. There was a cruise in the middle of it. (05:57) Saw all these historical sites. That's right. Seven Mai Tais right there on the beach. With his whole team with him, taking care of him while he was there. That's right. And just palm fronds and everything. He took the whole team. Yeah. Yeah. (06:12) And he got back just in time from that relaxing trip to celebrate Solitude Day. Right. Yeah, that's right. Nothing says a holiday like celebrating the fact that you hate people. Is that the way it works? I mean, what else is Solitude Day? Well, according to the day. (06:27) Celebrate the absence of all people. That's right. It's that one glorious date on the calendar where ignoring everyone isn't rude, it's practically patriotic. That's every day for me. There you go. A celebration of canceled plans, silenced group chats, and the radical act of enjoying your own company without explanation. (06:46) It's when do not disturb becomes a lifestyle. Small talk is banished, and the only drama allowed is deciding whether to stay in pajamas all day or switch to slightly nicer pajamas. In theory, it's about reflection and inner peace. (07:02) In practice, it's about finally getting a break from everyone else's noise and remembering how pleasant that can be. I got to tell you, it's beautiful. Yeah. What was that? I was going to say, that's like Taylor's work from home outfit. Yeah. She changes into the good PJs. (07:18) Yeah. Oh, we upgraded to the gray sweatpants. What was that one kid's quote on the thing? I'm done answering questions now. I'm done answering questions now. I plead the fifth. I like that. I was like, damn, I'm going to use that. I'm done answering questions now. (07:35) Yeah. Well, there you go. Solitude day. And there's three of us in this closet. Yeah. Yeah. It's getting warm. Very solitude. Yeah. He's warming up in here, isn't he? It is getting warm. Yeah. (07:50) I've got sweat behind my knees right now. It's icky. Sweat on the back of my knees. Sounds like Schuyler's sex tape. Yeah, let's bring in the sledgehammer. Here we go. (08:05) Off to a smooth start. Schuyler Black, Tom Mason, Bobby Dewrell, hanging out, having more fun than three male human beings should be allowed with their clothes on in a small room. That could have went so many bad ways. Yeah. (08:20) I don't need to be with two other males in a room without my clothes on. So I don't know which direction you think this is going today. Yeah. And what are you comparing it to? He's coming back from Greece where the nude people out playing sports is normal. I know. I know. Statues everywhere. (08:35) I tell you, I saw more Schmeckels than I ever needed to. And let me tell you, too, a lot of boxers. Not a lot of briefs back then. Significant amount of dangle. (08:50) Can the Greeks describe what is a woman? Yes. Surprisingly better than current Democrats. Today on your National Day calendar, we come to the most exciting one of the day. (09:06) Yeah. This is a good one. National make up your own holiday. Or as the Democrats call it, No King's Day. Another one coming up this week. Saturday. Well, you guys are going to be in heaven over in Tallahassee. Why do y'all keep advertising it? That's my whole thing. (09:22) You talk about it, you're advertising it. It's too funny. Oh, geez. Over in the biggest Democrat town in the state of Florida. Yeah. Yeah. I'm so excited to be over there. You're going to be in heaven. Yeah. Woo. All right. (09:37) Well, let me try to talk about this holiday. It's a free weekend. Yeah. It's a free weekend. Cheap. Oh, man. Are we even going to do this or just leave it go? Nah, it's fine. We're going to be over there for Occupy Dumbass. Oh, man. (09:54) National make up your own holiday day. The glorious self-referential occasion where instead of celebrating some You celebrate the act of inventing a celebration, because apparently the calendar wasn't already full enough. It's a perfect excuse to declare National Eat Dessert for Breakfast Day or International Ignore Your Emails Week, all while enjoying the faint illusion of creativity and control over time itself. (10:19) Participation requires no planning, no consensus, and absolutely no justification, just a bold claim, a catchy name, and the confidence to act like it's always been a thing. I remember that show. (10:57) I know, I had to explain it to Schuyler one day. I remember I watched that. Every Sunday, wasn't it? Before Animal Planet. We also did a Jacques Cousteau's birthday bash. Jacques Cousteau's? That was fun. Did you do something for Wild World of Sports, too? (11:13) Nah, I don't think we... I think by the time we tried to get to that, they told us we were having too many parties. The agony of defeat. Screw the people telling you you're having too many parties. Well, actually, that's where the whole thing started. We were told that the fraternity, that we were having way too many parties, that we needed to have a party card and an official reason. (11:34) And so then it made it over to me, and my job was to come up with the reasons. So we had Marlon Perkins, Mitchell Omaha, Wild Kingdom Appreciation Day. We had Jacques Cousteau's birthday bash. We had National Aardvark Week. One of my favorites was Potato Appreciation Day. (11:51) It was mostly vodka drinks. I was going to say, it had to be vodka and probably corned beef and cabbage. And then after that, it was like, no, that's not working. But funny enough, I want to tell you, we had that particular... because we were on the quarter system back then, right? (12:07) Not semesters. In that particular quarter, we had to blow out party damn near every week. At least one, if not two. Well, that's what you were there for, right? Yeah. We set the GPA for that semester, the men's fraternity GPA. (12:23) Our cumulative GPA was like a 3.35 or something that quarter. And that was with two people just flat-out goose-egging. The vast majority of us, though, just off the charts. And everybody's like, how the hell did that happen? (12:39) I'm like, oh, we all got drunk and scared that we were going to fail, so we studied. Mr. Blutowski. We did not. It's 0.0. Fat, dumb, and stupid. There's no way to go through life. (12:55) I actually had a couple of fraternity brothers prove that statement wrong. Yeah. I'm sure. All right. We're minutes away from 7 o'clock. We'll take a break, look at local news. It's coming up next on 100.3 KROCK. Stand by for more ROK. 100.3 KROCK. (13:11) 100.3 KROCK, the Classic ROK Station. It's the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell. Where did Tom go? We had him in here ten minutes ago. You know, he flitted off to wherever he flits off to. Yeah. (13:26) Yeah, he had to go make shirts. Shirts that we have to take over to Tallahassee for him today. Yeah, that's Tom. He's always giving some shirt to somebody. I think you added in an extra R in that word. I'm sorry. Just a bit. (13:42) Just a bit. The B Team Morning Show is on the air, brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. So, on your flight back, coming back into the U.S., going through customs and everything, did you have any issues with coming back in? (14:00) You know, I'm going to be honest with you, and I said it multiple times. Coming back through Atlanta Airport, through passport control, CBP, that is the smoothest, quickest I have ever, ever seen it work. (14:20) Really? It took me longer to walk to – now, I'm global entry, right? But it took me longer to walk to the global entry access point than it did to actually get through it. And even at that, as I made it through, other members of the group that had just done the mobile passport control, and even some that had not even done that, were already coming through. (14:42) I mean, there was absolutely zero line. Interesting. I have never in, geez, 20-plus years of international travel, I have never seen it operate that quick and that efficient. Interesting. (14:57) So, I kind of laughed, and hey, I'm going to apologize out there. It's probably a poor-tasting joke. But, you know, hell, if this is how it works when they don't get paid, maybe we shouldn't pay them more often. I mean, it's amazing. (15:14) So, did you see ICE agents working at the airport? I did not see them working at the airport. I did encounter a gaggle of them in the international wing, and I kind of wondered why they were there. And then when I saw some of the news yesterday and everything and realized that they were sending ICE to help relieve, it kind of made sense. (15:36) Now, you know, that being said, because our only experience with TSA was coming back into the country, where pretty much everybody's pre-checked because you're coming in off of an international flight. So, there, I mean, there was only one lane open. (15:52) There was definitely a backup. I mean, that's probably what took the longest of the whole thing. But, yeah, I wasn't, I mean, I heard the reports of it being six, seven, eight-hour waits. But, you know, fortunately, we weren't trying to get in through Atlanta. (16:09) We had already done it down here in Fort Walton. Right. You were already past the checkpoint. Right, right. Because there was a story that came out, and it's on our news this morning that the head of the TSA is warning that some U.S. airports could be forced to shut down if the ongoing funding standoff in Washington drags on. (16:30) Yeah. You know what? I personally, I wish some attorney out there would help me. I would love to bring a lawsuit against the United States Congress for failure to do their job. I mean, they can vote to pay for themselves. (16:47) Right. The entire DHS, Department of Homeland Security, has not been paid in how long? Forty days. Forty days. Coming up on a month and a half by Monday. Think about that. (17:03) Think about, could you go without a paycheck for 40 days? Hell no. I mean, what would that do? These people are now going late on their mortgages, on their rent. Right. Missing their power bills, moving into their cars, selling blood, semen, and plasma. (17:18) Yeah. Left kidney. Yeah. I mean, it is absolutely asinine. Yeah. If you're a member of Congress and you're doing this, shame on you. And if you are a friggin' Democrat out there supporting this, shame on you. (17:34) How dare you? Just how dare you? I'm sorry. I can't. This is crazy. You're punishing the wrong people. You're in charge of the laws that ICE is enforcing. You don't like it, but you won't change the law. Exactly. That's the thing. (17:49) They're literally enforcing the laws that have been on the books for decades. And you've had decades to change them if you don't like them. You're only mad because it's now being enforced. Yeah. No, what they're trying to do is disrupt the economy. They're trying to point to economic markers to say that he's doing a bad job to try to get people to vote for him. (18:09) Yeah. Of course. Of course. That's the only leverage that they have. Yeah. And if you're a sheep and that's what you're listening to, then… You're an idiot. Bah. Right. But that's concerning here. I understand we are a primarily drive-to destination, but we have probably a million passengers that come in and out of VPS a year. (18:34) And coming into the tourist season, we're a small airport. If we're actually shut down commercially here, how does that affect our tourist economy here the next 90, 120 days? (18:49) Pretty concerning. So, anyway, I really hope that they fund a DHS soon, because this is absolutely ridiculous. Yep. So… Congress sucks, man. (19:05) You know what? I'm ready to throw them all the hell out. Get new blood in there. Let's send them to Iran and have them thrown off a building. Yellow on 100.3K Rock, the classic rock station. It's the B Team morning show. (19:20) 7.22 is the time. It's pea soup outside right now. Yeah, it sure is. Dense fog advisory. Currently, in effect for our listening area, we're at 61 degrees, a high today of 80. But, yeah, quite crappy visibility at this point in time. (19:36) Should burn off in the next couple of hours. Hey, I noticed while I was gone, we had that little cold snap that I predicted. Yeah, we did. It was all of, like, 60 hours in length. Yeah, that's all it has to be. (19:51) It came right in the window I said it would come in. It sure did. Yeah, wow. So, the phrase you're looking for is, you want to say that I was what? What was that word? Got lucky. Five letters. No, no, no. Lucky. That's five letters. Starts with an R, ends with a T. Come on. You can say it. (20:07) I wasn't left. You were rigged. That's as close as you're going to get. Yeah. Yeah. I figured you'd be too afraid to say it. Yeah. Yeah. The St. Bobby over here with the speaking the truth. Hey, that's, you know, look, I just, that's what I do. (20:24) I drink bourbon and I know things. But like clockwork, I mean, because you got out of here on, what, Thursday morning? Yeah. Two weeks ago today. Yeah. And then by Sunday, we had a north wind push in. Yeah. (20:39) It was like, oh, crap. A high of only 60. And then the next day, it was like 33 in the morning and a high of 52. Now, by Wednesday, we were back in the 60s. By Thursday, it was in the 70s. But, you know, I have to say, you called it. I know. (20:54) Like I said, I drink bourbon, I smoke cigars, and I know things. You doing any of that this weekend? That's my plan. I got to stop over and buy some cigars and pipe tobacco when I'm done here. He's going to try to edumacate all these liberals over in Tallahassee this weekend. (21:10) Oh, man. You know what? They really don't want to push my buttons right now. Because when I say I'm at full, I'm at freaking full. Bobby's coming back to us on very thin patience. Yeah. (21:25) Yeah. Yeah. About halfway through the trip, I was trying to figure out if I was supposed to pray to Athena for wisdom or Zeus for lightning. And let me tell you, I was leaning towards Zeus for lightning. You never said anything about Kronos. (21:40) Oh, I didn't need any more time. We talked about Tom leaving us in the last break, and then all of a sudden he sends us group texts. So if he's got time to text, he has time to be on the show. (21:56) He could have been here. He just didn't want to sit over at mic three. Got demoted again. Yeah. Well, you know, when you're a bench warmer, that's what happens. You get called up to the show, and you get sent back. Here's the deal, though. And I kind of designated this towards Tom. I said, well, when I'm gone or Bobby's gone, you're our bench warmer, right? (22:15) And Jim is occasionally. But I said, Jim, you're like the sixth man. You're like the first guy off the bench. Jim's like the walk-on, maybe the water boy. Right. I mean, he's like picking some guy out of the 10th row, saying, come on down, put on a uniform. (22:30) Well, here's what I'm wondering, though. So tomorrow, both you and I are out, right? Uh-huh. So you taught Tom how to run the board? He's going to be in tomorrow? He and Jim's got it? Well, I told him that, and then all he did is laugh. Oh, yeah. Okay. Can you picture that? (22:45) You know what? I think it would be a great goat roping to have the D team. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. I skipped C intentionally. Yeah. (23:00) Remember the Will Ferrell movie, Semi-Pro or whatever? Yeah, that's right. Yeah. You're bringing in the Flint Tropics with Tom and Jim. That's right. There you go. The F team. The Flint Tropics. Oh, man. What we talked about in the last break, the fact that DHS hasn't been paid for 40 days now. (23:22) Yeah. Yeah. Kind of like working at KROCK. Yeah. It's only 40 days. I love amateurs. But the White House says it appreciates Elon Musk's offer to cover paychecks for TSA workers during the partial government shutdown. (23:39) But there's legal obstacles in the way. They say this would pose great legal challenges due to his involvement with federal government contracts. Now, Musk made the offer on Saturday. On Monday, President Trump said he would love it if Musk paid the salaries of TSA workers who haven't been paid for 40 days. (23:57) On Wednesday, the acting head of the TSA told lawmakers that many agents are facing severe financial hardships, many of which you mentioned, yeah, in the last break. So, of course, Bernie Sanders said that this is oligarchy. (24:14) This is oligarchy. Yeah, whatever, Bernie. You know, I'm sorry, man. I refuse to show any respect to Congress until they do their damn job. You know, this is more than once that we've been at this, that they can't pass something. (24:32) I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I just, no matter which way the ball bounces, you have one job to do. Do your job. My question is, is why do the Democrats in Congress insist on hurting Americans? (24:47) I don't understand that. Why are they putting illegals first? I don't understand. Yeah, I don't get it. I don't get that. You're not going to make me understand it. It's just, you know, I don't understand. (25:02) There's no other country on this planet that will put illegal immigrants before citizens. None. No. And why you think that's a necessity is absolutely baffling to me. (25:17) Yeah. It's so wild. And here's what I don't get. And here's the part that I struggle with the most in this is they want to conflate. If you're against illegal immigration and you want illegals deported, then you hate immigrants. (25:38) And that's not at all what it is. You're trying to lump everything together. And that is ridiculous. It's reductive. And it is insulting. Yeah. So every American supports immigration. (25:56) If you walk through the door, don't cut a hole in the fence. Exactly. Exactly. And, you know, it's kind of funny that the people that have immigrated here legally are actually the most staunch advocates against illegal immigration. Exactly. (26:11) Because they did it the right way. Yeah. Yeah. And it's not that hard. I mean, we have one of the easiest immigration processes there are. So, you know, anyway, that's just where I am. Kind of like Rosie O'Donnell going to Ireland, and now she can't get a long-term visa. (26:26) I think it's freaking hilarious. Yeah. Yeah. How did that work out for you? Dipwad. Yeah. What a miserable bitch. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Hey, if you disagree with what we're saying, go ahead, call into the station. (26:45) Dan Diamond will be glad to talk to you. He will be. Because this isn't a talk show, so I don't care if you disagree or not. That's right. Dan will put you on the air, and he'll have this debate with you. Yeah. We will not. I don't have to argue with stupid people. (27:00) Yeah. We'll just talk to the stupid people. That's right. This isn't a conversation. Yeah. Yeah. If you don't like it, I hope you change the dial. If you want to know the damn truth. Yeah. See that little knob right there? It can go left or right. Yeah. Man, I am so giving. I am putting you in power of whether you have to listen to me or not. (27:18) That's why at the end of every show, he says, we appreciate you settling right here and choosing us. It's 7.30. Something we haven't done in over two weeks is ask Uncle Bobby for advice. Yeah. Yeah. And coming back after spending some time with the Stoics, I've upped my game a little bit. (27:35) Have you? All right. Well, let's learn about this wisdom here just a bit. Stay with us. It's the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. Says the mics are on. Doesn't mean they're on or off. Is the mic on? Good morning, everybody. Hope you're doing well. (27:50) It's still pea soup outside. Yeah. A little froggy. A little burn off later this morning. We're at 61 right now. Humidity at 197%. Okay. Maybe just 97%. Yeah. (28:05) Something like that. Yeah. Yeah. Windshield might be a little bit, you know, have a little condensation on it this morning. That's right. That's right. The humility is up there enough it might participate. God, that's confusing as hell. You're going to cause me like I have a stroke or something. (28:21) I don't know. I might have a stroke after I hear Uncle Bobby's advice this morning. We've got that coming up here in just a little bit. Don't forget tonight is the first night of the Sweet 16. (28:36) Yeah. Of course, I'm going to be glued to the TV later on today, Bobby. Yeah. After my Hawkeyes upset the Florida Gators, top-seeded in Tampa. So tonight you've got 11th-seeded Texas, 2nd-seeded Purdue, 9th-seeded Iowa, 4th-seeded Nebraska, 4th-seeded Arkansas, 1st-seeded Arizona, and 3rd-seeded Illinois and 2nd-seeded Houston. (29:02) Those of you that are Bama fans, they play tomorrow night against top-seeded Michigan in the Midwest region. We'll carry that game 6-30 tip-off over on 103.7, the ticket. But yeah, Sweet 16 tonight and tomorrow night. (29:17) On to the Elite Eight for the second half of the weekend, and then next Saturday you've got the Final Four matchups. Once you go from 64 down to 16, it's like, man, somebody actually has a shot at this thing. It's crazy how all of a sudden you're in the thick of it. (29:36) Alright, stick tight. Ask Uncle Bobby coming up in under four minutes. And it's been literally weeks since we've heard from the uncle. We had Uncle Tommy. Yeah, how was that advice? Well, we started out the first week or so calling it Uncle Bobby's much older, but I'll be it much better looking brother. (29:58) Yeah. Let's go with that. Jay Ferguson. Thunder Island on KROCK. On to 100.3 KROCK. Did it rain overnight last night? I have no idea, man. I was out. (30:16) Because I let the dog out at 5. Who let the dog out? I let the dog out. Who? Me. Me. Me. Me. Am I a good singer? No. You're terrible. The Baja, man. Or the Blackhaw, man. (30:31) Hey, is Tay driving today? I hope so. To Tallahassee? I hope so. Because I'm thinking roadies and a good old jam fest. What do you think? Yeah, sure. If Aiden catches on 85 later. Oh, wow. Taylor's not drinking. (30:46) Yeah, just tell everybody. Well, I mean, that's why I asked if you're not driving, are you? Because, I mean, it would be rude to say, you know, well, if you're driving, we're still doing roadies, right? And that would not be cool. That would not be cool. (31:03) Rock and roll lifestyle, man. That's right. We got a party bus. That's right. May not look like the normal party bus, but it still counts. Well, today, we're back to doing Ask Uncle Bobby. After two weeks of asking Uncle Tom. (31:20) And, uh, yeah. Every morning we do this. I know it seems crazy, but Uncle Bobby's back. That's right. It's all stitched together by our friends at Buy Tomcat Custom Apparel. That's right. Tomcat Custom Apparel reminding you your party may be shut down over in Panama City Beach, but there's no reason you can't still have matching shirts. (31:39) Oh. That's a hell of a drive for a shirt. I'm not saying you can't do it. That's right. It's spring break, folks, where the locals hide, the teens wear matching shirts, and we all pray they go home. (31:55) You know, Bobby, you should make a new app called Uber Apparel, and it's just apparel delivery for spring breakers. There you go, for spring breakers. That's right. That sounds like a moneymaker right there. There you go. Well, today, Uncle Bobby, you get a question in from the over-caffeinated stoic intern. (32:12) They write in saying, Dear Uncle Bobby, I feel overwhelmed by work. Family expectations and the pressure to always be improving. I have tried productivity systems and self-help advice, but I still feel stressed all the time. (32:28) Is there a simpler way to approach life without falling behind? You know, listen, here's the deal, over-caffeinated. Look, modern life is like a slot machine that only pays out anxiety, and you keep pulling the lever like it owes you closure. (32:45) Okay? Look, here's the good news. The Greeks already handled this, and they did it in sandals with no email. Okay? Look, all you have to do is stop treating every expectation like it's a divine commandment carved into marble. See, Socrates said the only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing. (33:05) And people hear that, and, well, they get all humble about it, and that's the wrong move. Okay? What it really means is you are spiritually authorized to ignore anyone who speaks with certainty, especially the loud expert types with color-coded calendars. (33:21) Okay? Then you've got to borrow from the Stoics. Alright? Don't worry about what you cannot control. And you cannot control a shocking number of things if you commit to the philosophy with your whole chest. Alright? (33:36) Deadlines, awkward family events, the group chat, that one favor you said you would do, all of it becomes a weather system you simply observe. Now Epicurus is the closer here, the finisher, right? The keynote speaker of sanity. (33:51) Because simple pleasures are the highest good. Which means the universe is practically begging you to cancel the exhausting ambition parade and eat something comforting. See, when a big plan shows up, ask if it brings you peace, or just bragging rights. (34:10) And if it's the second one, well, you've got to send it back like an overcooked fish. Now listen, listen close, okay? Because this is where your life turns into a clean, elegant legend. (34:25) You've got to start living like a philosopher king of your own schedule. You do less, you worry less, and you let other people sprint around like their hair is on fire. See, the Greeks invented the ultimate success system. (34:41) And it's called minding your own damn business and enjoying lunch. You did learn a lot over there, didn't you? I'm telling you, man. I got those stoics figured out. You got cultured. All right, I hope that helps the over-caffeinated stoic intern this Thursday. (34:58) If you've got a question for Uncle Bobby, well, better wait until next week. That's right, because I've got other stuff to do. I guess we're going to get cultured and tallied. I've got to tell you, answering one Uncle Bobby every two weeks is a lot easier. (35:13) Yeah, 26 a year is a lot better than 250 a year, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. Much more doable. Yeah, I don't know. I was not in a stoic philosophy when we came up with that idea. No, no, it sounded great. (35:28) Had about 10 in the bank at the time. Oh, we can do this. Yeah, we can do this. I've got two weeks going. What the hell was I thinking? Three years later. No, you said it right. Three years later. (35:44) God, this is a pain in the ass. God, this is a pain in the ass. All right. That's Ask Uncle Bobby this morning, all stitched together by our friends at Buy TomCat Custom Apparel, where we finally got Tom to start saying the tagline at the end. Oh, yeah? (36:00) Where the apparel is custom. I can only get the two words out of him, but we got there. It's 7.52. News is next. 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. ACDC, for those about to rock, we salute you this Thursday morning. (36:19) The B Team Morning Show is on the air, brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, as well as Okaloosa Gas and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Seen a lot of Bobby's pictures so far from his trip to Greece. A lot of old buildings. (36:34) Yeah, a lot of old buildings. Hey, there's a new Greek Orthodox church right there. That only dates back to like 600 AD. Oh, yeah, that's one of the new builds. That's the new building. Yeah. It's like, do we even have a church in Fort Walton that's 100 years old? (36:50) Probably not. No. It's still froggy out there this morning, folks. So if you're making your morning commute, just be careful, especially in those low-lying coastal areas. See a high today of 80, they say. (37:05) So they say. And by the way, I don't want to be held responsible for any weather forecasts that we read on the air, because this is actually coming from the National Weather Service in Mobile. Yeah. Liars. Take it up with them. That's right. (37:21) Final hour for us this morning. Bobby comes back and does one show in an hour yesterday. That's what happens. That's what happens when you've got to take those international trips. When you're the talent. Story out of Georgia this morning. (37:36) Yeah, I saw that one. I saw that one earlier. About the fridge? Oh, yeah. A suspected burglar in Gwinnett County, Georgia, was found hiding inside an unplugged fridge in a vacant apartment under renovation. Police were called after a neighbor reported loud banging noises and found the 25-year-old man inside the fridge during a search. (37:57) Authorities say he'd broken in and pulled electrical wiring from newly installed walls, causing about two grand in damage. He allegedly told officers that he entered the apartment to escape the cold. The suspect was arrested and faces felony burglary and criminal damage charges. (38:13) He must be a little guy. Yeah, he must be. I couldn't fit into a fridge. Unless it's like one of those walk-in coolers in a restaurant, I could fit into that. Yeah, he must have been like that little five-foot-two jack wagon that had to have all of his bags up in the overhead bin. (38:29) Yeah, I saw your post about that. What was up with that? You sounded like it hit a nerve. It did. It did. As my knees are dug into the back of the seat in front of me and this little friggin' lily pollution is having just a fit because he wants all of his bags up. (38:49) Because he was shorter than some of your sixth graders. Yeah, and then he was struggling to get it up in the overhead bin and I'm like, you know what? That's there for tall people. Did you tell him that? I did. You didn't give a damn. (39:04) No, man. Look, when I say my patience is gone. What did he say to you? Nothing. What's he going to say? Barked at you like a little yorkie? Yeah, I don't know how to tell you this. Apparently, I'm a little bit intimidating. Courtney had told me a story about that before. Oh, yeah? (39:20) About you being intimidating. Yeah. On occasion. If need be. How can we make that happen this weekend? You don't really want to make it happen. I don't know. I feel like you could run into enough idiots that we could bring it out. It comes out. But I'm going to tell you, I don't get loud. I get quiet. And I get very matter of fact. (39:41) Do you get red? No. Courtney's commenting on it. Do you start to shake? Nope. Well, that does happen if I'm really mad. If you see me starting to tremble a little bit, that is me holding everything back that I freaking can. (39:57) Um, but, uh, no, uh, Courtney finds that I get, uh, uh, uh, alarmingly calm. It's the calm before the storm. That's right. Uh-huh. Yeah. (40:13) Her comment was most intimidating thing I've ever seen. You didn't raise your voice. You didn't swear. You just explained what was happening. It's like the five minutes before a tornado. Yeah, we're not doing that. This is what's going to happen now. (40:29) Or the, I've never been in one, but the hour before, uh, or the hour while you're in the eyewall of a hurricane. Right. And then the wrath of hell comes. Right. Uh-huh. All five flavors of hell from Bobby. Yep. All right, it's the final hour, uh, for us this morning, and then, uh, and then we're, we're heading east. (40:49) Yeah. Right now on I-10. Yeah. Which is, uh. Although the song is Go West, young man. Yeah, I know. It's kind of as usual. How about Jerry? How about Jerry Reed? He's bounded down. That's right. Loaded up and trucking. (41:04) That's right. We're going to do what they say can't be done. Which is roadies. That's right. We've got a long way to go. That's right. And a short time to get there. That's right. Catch me if you can. Are we doing any Mary Jane on the, on the right? Why not? (41:19) Okay. Let's just, I mean, look, if we're going to get pulled over, let's, let's go all in. Go down swinging. It's a BT morning show. Good morning. She grew up in it. 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. It's Jimi Hendrix. (41:34) Little foxy lady on a Thursday morning. Um, wild story that came out earlier this week is the kids went back to school up into Funiac on Tuesday. Yeah, I saw that. Uh, that a student suspect in Tuesday's stabbing at Walton Middle School is now facing six charges, including attempted murder. (41:55) According to the Sheriff's office, Walton County Sheriff, uh, Michael Atkinson held a press conference yesterday saying the 12 year old suspect's name won't be announced at this time, but his charges are attempted murder, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, two counts of that, uh, wearing a mask during the commission of a felony, tampering with evidence and disrupting a school function. (42:16) Now he's currently being handled as a juvenile, uh, decisions on how that are, how that's going to ultimately be made based on what the facts of the case are. And in accordance with the laws of Florida in regards to handling children of this age, we don't want to do anything that's going to hurt our case by saying something we shouldn't say. (42:36) Yeah. Seventh grader. I mean, a kid a year older than you just dealt with what, 40 or 50 of them. Yeah. I mean, that's, that's how does that happen? Yeah. I don't, I don't, I don't get that. Uh, you know, I don't, I don't know what's going, what's going on there. (42:51) You know, it, it, it seems like what this always comes back to is some case of bullying, but, um, you know, there's, there's definitely some, some mental issues there. Absolutely. Uh, Sheriff Atkinson said the student, the two student victims also seventh graders remain hospitalized in critical condition after undergoing intensive care on Tuesday. (43:14) The, um, uh, paraprofessional, uh, who was also attacked has since been released from prison. Uh, now the suspect's motive for the attacks, which lasted approximately 45 seconds is still unclear according to the Walton County Sheriff's office. (43:29) So from all accounts, this appears to be a totally random victim selection. So maybe we'll learn more, but this is just as the wildest story. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's, uh, certainly crazy. Certainly crazy. (43:44) So, uh, any, uh, any family and friends, uh, involved with that, uh, thoughts and prayers go out to go out to you all. Cause that's just, uh, something you never expect. You know, you, you hear about these wild, uh, school shootings, but usually they're there in metropolitan areas. (44:01) Yeah. Not in 5,500 populated. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's certainly something going on there. And I, I don't, I don't know. It's just, it's, it's hard to speak. (44:18) It is such a young individual. You, you know, you don't want to cast disparages there. You just, you know, you you're left with more questions than answers. So. Yeah. It's time to start peeling back the layers on that onion. Right. (44:33) Right. And, and I, you know, I think an important part of this too is, um, you know, don't, don't be quick to blame the parents is what I'll say. But I think, you know, there's some, there's some time that we should all be withholding judgment. (44:48) And let's try to figure out what happened before we, we start casting asparages. And, um, because, uh, you know, I mean, we, we don't know. Maybe the parents have tried, you know, at some point kids act on their own. Right. So. That's true. (45:03) Everybody, everybody makes their own choices. Right. Right. You know, I, I would like to imagine that, uh, the, uh, this individual's parents are probably in a state of shock themselves and they're, and they're going through some suffering. (45:19) So, you know, um, let's, let's not play the blame game just yet. Yeah. Let's, let's, let's wait and find out a little bit more. Yeah. Yeah. Eight 27 is the time we'll take a break. Uh, last couple of breaks coming up for us in the second half of the eight o'clock hour. (45:34) So stay with us when The B Team morning shows gather black and Bobby Dewrell back at it on a Thursday on 100.3 KROCK look at weather is next. I feel like we should have played that song to end the show. (45:49) Yeah. That we, that we fought the good fight today. I'm okay. If we end it now, I thought you were going to say, we'll just play it again. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, hey folks. Thanks for listening to the team morning show. This is alternative quality programming right here on the animal coast. (46:06) Are you, you want to keep going? If I do it, I'm walking out. He wants to be done. D U N. That's right. That's right. Hey, unlike the U S army, who's expanding, who gets signed up and raising its maximum enlistment age. (46:22) Yeah. It's up to 42, 35 to 42. Yeah. It's moved at aiming, uh, moved at, uh, widening the recruiting pool and aligning its policy with other branches. Now the change allows people in their late thirties and early forties to enlist in active duty national guard or the reserves. (46:37) Um, officials say the update reflects shifting recruiting needs and recognizes that older recruits often bring technical skills and life experience. Now, along with the age increase, the army is also loosening some, uh, enlistment rules, including, uh, removing the waiver requirement for a single conviction related to marijuana possession. (46:54) Yeah. Uh, the new policy is expected to take effect in April and brings the army closer in line with other services such as air force and space force, which already accept recruits up to age 42. Now the Navy caps, it's enlistment at 41 and the Marine Corps at 28. I didn't realize the Marines was that young. (47:10) Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, Marines are, they're not paid to think. I mean, I look, I don't, I do not mean that rude. I, I in no way disparage the Marines. I think there are a bunch of brave young men. Um, I, it applaud their courage, their tenacity and what they do, but Marines are not paid to think they're paid to do that's front lines, right? (47:36) That's what they're for, right? The charge of the light brigade cannon in the front cannon to the left cannon to right. There's is not to reason why there's is, but to do or die. Yeah. That's the Marine Corps. And I, I love them. They're a vital part of, uh, of our, of our, of our thoughts and what we need, but you know, they're not paid to think. (47:54) You simplified it. That's right. You simplified it. Yeah. Simplified it. Oh my God. We went there. Very punny. Very punny. All right. Two more tunes and then we're done. All right. How about some journey on The B Team morning show with 100.3 KROCK. (48:11) Sticks and blue collar man. And these two blue collar men are out of here. That's right. We put in a full day's work. Yeah. (48:26) Yeah. No, no. I'm just, I'm, I'm, I'm laughing because it's, there's a lot of people out there that think, Oh man, you're done working by nine o'clock. No, honestly, that's when work starts. Exactly. What do you do the rest of the day? (48:42) Yeah. Oh, eat bonbons. Oh, so since you, since you're only on the air in the morning, like that's, that's great for you. You guys don't have to do anything the rest of the day. Right. Right. Uh huh. All right, folks. Bobby, it's been interesting to have you back for a full morning. (49:01) I got to get used to this again. Yeah. Yeah. Gave us a little appetizer yesterday and we got the whole smorgasbord this morning. The full do Bob. That's right. And all of the do Bob in this glory. (49:17) Uh huh. Uh huh. Mm hmm. And then now you're gone for three days. Yeah. Got to, got to, got to use back. You can't, you can't just jump right into the, to the deep end. You know, you got to get a toe wet and then you take a little time. (49:33) Yeah. It's like toe wet. Then the kid pool. Yeah. Then the splash pad. And next week we'll jump back in the deep end. But we're out of time this morning. We are the BT morning show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell. We come your way when we want to. (49:49) Uh, weekdays from six to nine right here on 100.3 KROCK. Thanks to our sponsors, including stripes, pub and grill and Navar as well as Okaloosa gas and outcast sushi in Miramar. I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable rest of your Thursday. Bobby, get us on out. (50:05) Hey folks, thanks for listening to the B Team Morning Show, your leading alternative quality programming right here on the Emerald Coast. Now, we know you have a choice in what you listen to each and every day, and we appreciate the fact that you settled in on this wild ride that we call the Morning Show. But it's come that time of day, we're going to get on out of here. So you keep on rocking, keep on rolling, never settle for the ordinary. (50:22) Until the next time, the B Team is out. And that's a wrap on today's B Team Redux.
