Escape Day: The Secret Holiday That Lets You “Die” for a Day (And Why You Should)
Description

Show Notes
Your hosts, Bobby Dewrell (holding down mic 1 while Schuyler’s off on a “mini‑Somalia” adventure) and the ever‑ready Tom Mason of byTomcat Custom Apparel, are back with another frantic, fun‑filled morning on 100.3 KROCK, the Classic Rock Station that’s kept the Emerald Coast rocking. With a quick shout‑out to our loyal sponsors—Okaloosa Gas, Stripes Pub & Grill, and OutKast Sushi—Bobby and Tom dive head‑first into the day’s “holidays,” from National Escape Day (the one day you’re socially permitted to mentally abandon your life) to National Answer‑Machine Day (a tongue‑in‑cheek tribute to those delightfully annoying voicemail greetings).
But this isn’t just banter. In true B‑Team fashion, the duo mixes witty commentary with real‑world value: a weather rundown that warns of a chilly weekend, a “Ask Uncle Bobby” segment where Bobby dishes out gritty, no‑nonsense advice on how to get the invisible work you do at home finally noticed, and a brisk rundown of the week’s must‑see local events—from the Airship Pirates Mardi‑Gras parade in Milton to the upcoming Super Bowl Soup Cook‑off for the Paws charity. Listeners also get a sneak peek at the behind‑the‑scenes magic that powers the B‑Team Rewind (the full three‑hour morning marathon) and Redux (the trimmed‑down highlight reel), all conveniently housed at thebteamshow.com.
So crank up the volume, grab a coffee (or a Bloody Mary, if you’re feeling daring), and settle in for a rollicking blend of classic rock, quirky holiday lore, community spotlights, and straight‑talk advice—all delivered with the irreverent charm that only Bobby and Tom can provide. Let’s get this Redux rolling!

Just way to start off the day. (00:12) You're listening to the B-Team Morning Show, brought to you by Okaloosa Cats, Stripes Pub & Grill, and OutKast Sushi on 100.3 KROQ, the Classic Rock Station. I'm Bobby Durell sitting in over here filling in on mic one for Skyler Black, who's on vacation just doing all the wrong things. I hope so. Yeah, to my left we've got Tom Mason off the bench into the main show of Buy Tomcat Custom Apparel fame. (00:37) Tom, how are you doing? I'm doing good today, man. It's Friday. It's still cool outside, but that's okay. (00:43) Yeah, it's still a little chilly, but it's going to be like that through the weekend. It just is what it is. We're doing that in solidarity because Skyler's up in mini Somalia, St. Walls. (00:57) We're suffering this weather down here for him. He would the things we go through. I know yeah, it's sacrifices We make it we're givers. Yeah, we're givers. (01:07) Oh So Tom you made it out of the office for a little bit to have fun on on a great day for it Right day three man starting here in the morning instead of over at the over at the store. Yeah Yeah, you said it's brighter than waking up and kissing cat. Hello. Yeah I do that before I leave. (01:25) Oh, Tom said he's just gotten out of it and it's a great day for it because it's National Escape Day. It is National Escape Day, yeah. Yeah, it's a holiday for everyone who fakes their own death just to avoid a group text. It's a holiday doing what your what your daddy did in 93. (01:46) Yeah, that's right fantasy without a forward address Exactly. Hey kids going out for a pack of smokes. I'll be back. I'll be making some milk. (01:54) Yeah, I Oh, National Escape Day, for those brave enough to admit they've fantasized about faking their own death in a canoe accident. Well, it's the one day a year you're socially permitted to mentally evacuate your life like a burning Waffle House. That's right. It's about travel, it's about absence, it's the spiritual art of not being here for the nonsense. (02:15) Some people book flights, some people hide in the garage with a lawn chair and a Bluetooth speaker blasting whale sounds. Either way, it's a celebration of leaving without leaving. Yeah, it's kind of like emotional tax fraud, if you think about it. You know, it's interesting, listen, because January 1st of every year, I don't text, I don't Facebook, I don't do email, I don't do... (02:40) I will answer the phone if you're somebody I know, but I just disconnect electronically from everything. That's my thing on January 1st, is I don't want to be a part of the electronic world. Yeah, yeah, I I you know, I kind of do the same thing My my house my doors always open if you want to stop by and see me Yeah, I'll start first thing in the morning. I throw some collards on if there are some black-eyed peas in I make cornbread You're welcome to stop by the house at any point We black-eyed peas and cornbread together with with little collards because that's always luck.

January 30th is National It ain't answering message day. You know, it's a sacred time when we honor the great American tradition of wasting each other's time with robotic cheer and forced whimsy. You know, it's the one day a year when you're encouraged to revisit your voicemail greeting and ask yourself, do I sound like a hostage or a cult member? (06:58) Yeah, this holiday exists purely to remind us that before social media, people still found ways to be unbearably annoying using nothing but a landline and delusion. So go ahead, record something new, preferably something short, sober, and not involving a ukulele. I have a favorite one from years ago that I recorded. We had gotten a puppy, and the minute you walked away from me, he'd start doing that puppy whine and crying and everything like that. (07:31) So I just put the answering machine down next to him and just did the, hey, sorry we can't answer the phone right now, we're beating the puppy, but as soon as we're done, we'll give you a call back. It I got so much. Oh, yeah so much grief over that I I used to do I used to do stuff like that all the time Yeah, like yeah, I would I'd find great music to play in the background and you know using all my DJ skills yeah, and my other favorite one that I got so many people with was the one that everybody does that Hello Yeah, what? (08:07) I'm sorry. I'm sorry what? Who who is this? Yeah I'm just kidding. (08:15) I'm not out you're talking to my answering machine and I would get so many messages.

(08:39) So stick around don't know where I Short little song there for you queens of bohemian rhapsody. Yeah Just you know, just it's quick six minutes 28 seconds. Yeah, it's a quick one. You know, they could have made a longer song It's a great song though. (08:55) Yeah, but you know if you're doing the if you're doing the background singing you gotta last for six minutes That's right. It's like well and how about this? It's six minutes 28 seconds and there's no hook or course. Yeah That's true. (09:06) Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. No, nothing repeats right no hooker course. (09:11) Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, there you go And it goes through what three different genres. I think I think so. (09:15) Yeah, I mean little operatic little Rock and a little classical. Yeah, it's it's all in there. It's it's It's a little bit of everything a veritable smorgasbord of music. It's an entire radio station in itself. (09:29) That's right. That's right Yeah, that's one of those songs that you used to be able You know back in the day when you really had to go to the bathroom you throw on bohemian rhapsody Yeah, yeah, you had some time never thought Hey, we're halfway through the six o'clock hour having more fun than we really should right here on the B team morning show brought to you in part by Okaloosa gas stripes Pub and grill and her friends it out help back it out Cast sushi.

We've talked about it being National Escape Day, National Answering Machine Day, and now we're up to the one that, well, it's really kind of makes me think of you, Tom. (10:19) National Big Wig Day. Yes. Yeah, it does fit me, right? Finally, a holiday for everyone with a title. (10:26) a trust fund or a toupee. You're the toupee. Yeah, I'm the toupee. You know, I have a title here, trust fund. (10:34) You could get the big wig, huh? It's a holiday for people who's peaked in middle management and never let it go. I'm just saying. All right, National Big Wig Day is the one day a year we crank up the delusion and pretend that throwing on a synthetic hair helmet makes us, well, philanthropists. (10:55) Yeah, it's part costume party, part charity drive, and all the excuse you need to ignore your responsibilities while looking like Liberace's understudy. you know the idea is to raise money and eyebrows simultaneously which frankly is more than most fundraisers managed so go ahead grab a wig strike a pose and pretend your poor life choices are suddenly tax-deductible. They're not poor life choices. They're questionable. (11:23) questionable questionable feed into the end game i guess questionable okay yeah yeah are folks stick around we got uh... guns and roses welcome to the jungle so uh... that's where we are It helps if you turn the microphones up. There we go. (11:50) We had an hour to get this right. That's right. It's Friday, folks. I don't know what to say. (11:56) It is. As the doobies just said, well, Jesus is just all right with me. I think that's the new Minnesota ICE song, right? I always felt like it should be. (12:06) Oh, it could be. I didn't relate it to that, but I think you're right. I think the anti-ICE protesters, it should always be, Jesus is just alright with me. I saw a really bad meme. (12:15) I was like, ooh. I'm not going to say it, but I was like, ooh, that's so funny, but ooh, man. No, not there yet. Maybe tomorrow. (12:30) Well folks welcome to the to the B team morning show right here in 100.3k rock your classic rock station we We are brought to you in part by our friends over at Okaloosa gas stripes pub and grill and outcast Sushi out in Miramar Beach.

You had to crack the whip, didn't you? (13:57) No, no, no. See, that's the difference between Skyler and I. Skyler goes in there and tries to crack the whip, and they're about a day late. Okay, so what I found is I just went in there and I threw him a couple of cookie crumbs Yeah, and I just said here's a cookie and you get a lick if you can get it done in the next hour or so It's remembering the little people (14:22) It's what makes you good. Yeah. Yeah, you know, yeah, I mean such a giving person could have been tyrannical I could have I could have hurt him. Yeah, but no Such a good guy, so yeah, no get get back in the damn office and work All right, I gotta go deal with some interns and and we'll be back but right now in excess new sensation 100.3 K rock beat classic rock station listening to Bobby (14:51) and Tom the only ones that matter. So Tom, I gotta tell you a fun story. Kansas, Kansas point of no return here. Yeah. (15:01) I've told, I think I've told this story before, but it's a, it's one of my favorites. So back when I worked for a, for one of the big banks, you know, like arguably the largest bank in America. Okay. If you get where I'm going. (15:14) Can you say that one more time? Yeah, so the largest bank in America. I wrote that down. I worked up in their control rooms, and we would do massive releases, new software and stuff. (15:26) Money? No, no, no. Software. We were upgrading e-commerce, upgrading different parts of the bank, loan processing, stuff like that. (15:36) Even we got into mobile banking, and it was before I made that move over there, but I worked in what was called the master control room. You know, 50,000 feet oversaw everything happening in the bank that weekend. And one of my jobs is to put together what was the point of no return for the weekend, right? Like, hey, once we hit this point, no matter how bad it is, we got to keep shoving forward. (15:59) It's going to take us too long to try to back everything out to open Monday morning. And so that's in the control room. What I would do is I knew exactly how long the song was it's like a two minutes and I think it's like two minutes and or two minutes 57 seconds or something like that. Okay, so I would watch for the point of no return was coming up and I'd have it written down and at two minutes 57 seconds before it I'd start playing that song in the control room and And then when it would end, because it always ends with, how (16:32) long? I would go, now. You started in about the whole thing about, you know, releasing and everything like that. And I'm picturing you up there with this vat of pennies that I'm ready to let go. (16:50) We're the bank and we're going to control when the minions get it, you know. It was almost that way. It was a lot like that. Yeah. (16:59) Yeah. The other one I used to do too is, you know, we'd have to run the control room and I was usually the person shutting it down because I usually worked the second shift or the overnights. I'd start overnights and then they'd move me to second shift as we were getting down. And then right at the end, as we're starting to finish, right, it's four minutes, 11 seconds, the final countdown. (17:20) Minutes 11 seconds before we were gonna close a control room I used to have a lot of fun. Yeah Fun at work, huh? Yeah, I gotta do different things. Hey, fun story out there, cyber security experts are warning criminals are using a subtle typo trick that's nearly invisible on phone screens. (17:42) What they're doing is they're swapping the letter M in a web address with R and N side by side. On small screens, RN looks exactly like an M, so your brain fills in the rest, and assumes the site is real. The fake emails often pretend to be from major brands, pushing urgent messages about account issues, invoices, or password resets. Click the link, enter your info, and well, it goes straight to the scammers. (18:12) Experts say the fix is simple but easy to forget. Slow down. Yeah. Yeah, check the full sender address Don't click links and surprise emails and type the website in yourself when in doubt that one extra second can save your account. (18:27) Yeah, that's That's a whole terrible thing that goes on sometimes with not sometimes always I like the scammers. I like to imagine there's a special place in hell for those people. Oh, yeah It's it's probably a Somali daycare. Yeah Oh, anyway, speaking of that, Pat Benatar, Hell is for Children, right here at 100.3 KROQ, the classic rock station. (18:54) You're listening to the B-Team Morning Show with Bobby and Tom, the only Bob and Tom that matter. Scorpions and wind of change right here 100 point 3k rock the classic rock station You know I talk about I love playing these songs and inopportune times right you know fun things like that. Yeah Had I been Tim Hohman? Right okay, if if it were if it were me yeah, what I would have done is when they announced that that uh... (19:25) walls had agreed that uh... state law enforcement was actually going to start doing their job and protect and crowd control and protect federal officers trying to execute on their job okay i would have had my agents walk outside and would've blasted as loud as i could wind of change it started off with the clint eastwood uh... Anyway well I gotta tell you I really wish Skylar was here today. (20:00) Yeah, because gee I feel Because I'm gonna I'm gonna say this one is only in Iowa, okay, you know he relishes in the Florida man stories yeah, and then we got one out of Iowa that that I enjoy and And this one, well, Sky Sky, y'all kinda won this one. Yeah, it makes you feel good, huh? Yeah, so here we go. (20:27) Near the end of a work day at a FedEx facility in Iowa, a woman rushed to the bathroom and moments later realized she was giving birth. Oh my gosh. Not knowing she was pregnant. I mean, I feel like there's signs. (20:47) I would think so. I feel like there's signs. There's got to be something. How do you not? (20:51) I'm not a woman. But you think. First responders arrived just in time and her baby boy was born right there at the facility. Both mom and baby were taken to the hospital and are doing well. (21:08) The mother later said she had no typical pregnancy symptoms and even lost weight, making the shock even bigger. A birth she now calls her unforgettable FedEx baby. How big was she before this all started? Right now, if you look at her, she looks like your typical Iowan. (21:36) She's not a big girl. Maybe there was no way of her knowing. She's wearing glasses, so I'm going to assume she's smart. Makes me smarter. (21:53) uh... so anyway that uh... yeah there there we go i uh... i know i'd just i'd feel like uh... (22:05) man i really wish that's why i said i really wish skyler was here to to just think it's maybe he can explain to this explain this yeah lucy lucy's play something right uh... anyway well and he's something she won't be doing any time soon Pink Floyd learning to fly right here on 100.3k rock, the classic rock station. Tom and I are going to get out a slide rule and try to figure this out. Yeah, I don't have an answer to this one. (22:35) Jimmy Hendrix and Foxy Lady right here at 100.3k rock the classic rock station. I gotta tell you Tom every time I hear that song I always think about Dane Dana Carvey. Yeah, what was he Wayne? No, he was Garth Garth. (22:48) Yeah Garth and in Whatever that movie was I just forgot the name of it Wayne's World Wayne's World. There we go. I Because you said the guy's name. I know I know it's it's one of those mornings. (23:00) You had me caught off guard I'm like, did he really yeah. Yeah, it's one of those mornings. It's one of those mornings. All right, you can get that straight That's right. (23:08) You can tell by the music playing behind us that it's that time It's time for us to slow it down a little bit get some real practical advice from the man the myth the legend the guy that has the best worst advice possible That you know, I when I when I have to key in my own self, it just sounds really narcissistic weird. Yeah, that's right You did a good job It's ask uncle bobby right here brought to you at stitch together by tomcat custom apparel where tomcat custom apparel is reminding you It might be a little warmer today. That means a branded polo But go ahead and pick up a hoodie for tomorrow. (23:42) There you go. All right, Tom, do we have a question in from someone this morning? We do, Bobby. We have Invisible Aaron Mule ask the question. (23:56) I handle most of the emotional and practical work in my household, but nobody acknowledges it. I feel taken for granted, and I'm getting burned out. How do I get them to notice and appreciate what I do? Wow, so you know Kat can just, she can call me, she doesn't have to write in. (24:18) You think? Yeah, clearly. But then it wouldn't be out there for everybody. True, true. (24:24) So, okay, all right, well, I guess we're doing this. Anyway, listen, all right, Kat, I mean, emotional donkey, what do we call this? Visible Aaron Mule. Yeah. (24:37) Yeah, not Kat. I am. Listen, look, you're not a partner, okay? You're a convenient store that never closes. (24:45) And the reason nobody notices is because you made excellence feel like background noise. See, here's the part people hate hearing. Appreciation is not a filling. It's a bill. (24:56) If they are living in a clean, functional, emotionally cushioned little paradise, that's not luck. That is your labor. So stop donating it like you're trying to win a saint competition, okay? First, you gotta start keeping score, quietly and precisely. (25:15) You know, like an accountant with a grudge, okay? Not because you're petty. No, no, no, no, no. Because reality needs receipts. (25:22) See, the next time somebody says they're stressed, you just nod like a bank teller and let the problem sit in their lap until it gets heavy. Okay, then you execute a dramatic withdrawal of services. Not forever, just long enough for the household to experience the terrifying silence of you not saving the day. Do not announce it with a speech because speeches invite negotiations and you just stop doing the invisible stuff. (25:52) The reminders, the planning, the emotional patch jobs, the little rescues that keep everyone feeling like the world runs itself. See, you gotta let the gears grind until somebody finally asks why the machine is smoking. And when they notice, do not accept a lazy drive-by thanks. Oh no. (26:15) No, no, no. You make them be specific. Like they are testifying in Congress. Like they are before a court. (26:23) If they cannot name what you do, they don't get the luxury service package. Well said. Life just got a little harder, didn't it, Tom? Sage advice from Uncle Bobby. (26:42) I love how you're trying to play it off like, oh, this is what I've been waiting for all week. It's been my favorite one. Oh, here we go. It's the Pretenders, and don't get me wrong, right here, 100.3K Rock, the Classic Rock Station, you're listening to the B-Team Morning Show with Bobby and Tom, the only Bob and Tom that matter. (27:01) Have fun, y'all. The Black Crows and she talks to angels right here at 100.3 K rock the classic rock station just after eight o'clock in the morning on the warmest day of the week. It has been. Yeah, we haven't really talked about that. (27:20) That's right. It's 46 degrees climbing up to 61 today but don't get too excited because tomorrow's high is like 32. Yeah, it's supposed to drop again all the way through. I think, uh, Sunday's the coldest day. (27:32) Is that 23 or something like that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. (27:34) Sunday. Uh, so right now looking Saturday, 22 to 37, uh, Sunday, 30 to 44 and Monday, 40 to 52. So Saturday is going to be the coldest day. Okay. (27:45) Uh, mostly sunny and windy, uh, looking at 25 mile an hour winds is what they're calling for on Saturday. So it's going to be a, it's going to be a breezy day. It might be a good day to stay inside. Yeah. (27:55) Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, go outside man. That's a vitamin D. (27:59) Yeah, it was nice to warm up a little bit. Yeah, hey You're listening to the b-team morning show right here on 100 point 3k rock the classic rock station brought to you by our friends over at Okaloosa gas Reminding you that hey, you know a little bit of gas it keep you warm right now. I We've got stripes pub and grill as well and outcast sushi over in Miramar Beach Thank you guys for all your support and everything that you've done for us. Hey Tom. (28:24) Did you see this story? Talking about Okaloosa gas. I'm I'm sure Okaloosa gas would back us on on this is this is kind of a boneheaded thing to do, right? Yeah, so Up in Indianapolis, right? (28:38) and I didn't know this could happen, but I guess if it gets cold enough, your gas lines can freeze. Yeah, I wasn't aware of that. I wasn't either. So an Indianapolis man was trying to thaw his frozen gas lines with a blowtorch, and well, he sparked a house fire, sending flames into the home. (28:57) Because that's what I would go grab first. The homeowner spotted smoke in a bedroom closet and rushed everyone out while calling 911. Firefighters later found the man still under the house, unaware the fire had started, and safely pulled him out. No one was hurt, but the fire caused heavy damage and forced three adults and a dog to evacuate. (29:17) Fire crews say using open flame near gas lines Extremely dangerous. That's a bad thing. You know, it's like did we have to put that warning? Yeah, I know clearly we did Yeah, just you just can't make this stuff up The most amazing thing to all of this is it was an Indiana man. (29:35) Not a not an island. Yeah. Oh, that's true Yeah, yeah, and here's what's funny. John Hilsman just heard that and went. (29:41) Yep. Yeah I know, we used to do that. Who's her? We used to do that when I was growing up. (29:49) Unlike you though, I didn't know it would freeze. I was unaware. You know, I have had, because we have so many swings in temperature here, I have had it with propane. Like if you're trying to run the propane tank while the temperature drops, like it does sometimes, I've seen it where the propane tank, I guess it almost gets like a little vapor lock on it or something, it just won't. (30:10) Yeah, it won't produce anymore right because it's too cold outside and so you have to warm the tank to get the makes sense like anything it's a gas and then it's a liquid first and then it becomes a gas when it gets warm enough. Well, it only becomes a liquid under pressure. Yeah, that's true. Anyway, so learn something new. (30:32) So there you go. Hey, if you're deciding to warm up those gas lines, don't. Don't. Especially with a blowtorch. (30:40) That's right. I'm pretty sure George from Okaloosa Gas would agree with me. Oh, folks, we're having as much fun as we can here. We've got just a little under an hour left with you guys, but don't worry, we've got more great classic rock coming your way, some ZZ Top, Foreign or Bad Company, and all coming up, so stick around.

So 32 year old Alexander Baker Depew tried to buy $288 bouquet and chocolates for a dancer at a local strip club. (34:40) Yeah. But instead of using real cash, he paid for it with 15 fake $20 bills marked as props meant for motion pictures. After the florist realized the bills were fake, Baker DePue didn't leave town. No, he headed to the Oasis Cabaret, where the woman he was trying to impress worked and allegedly tried paying for his bar tab there with more funny money. (35:03) That drew law enforcement's attention, and when officers searched him, they found hundreds of more fake bills, plus cocaine and meth, in his pockets. He was arrested on counterfeiting charges, drug charges, and is being held in jail on a $21,000 bond, turning what was meant to be a Valentine's season jester into a costly mistake. Beer and make a man do stupid things. That's right. (35:29) That's right. You know, he was just trying to show her a little love. Alright folks, that's uh, that's that's the news for right now.
