Mardi Gras Mayhem, Lost Pennies & a 120‑Year Lightbulb: The B‑Team’s Wild Weekend Countdown

(00:00) Here's today's BT Redux! It's the B-Team Morning Show on a Thursday, Friday eve, big weekend coming up. Going to be parading everywhere in Pensacola this weekend. We've got the Lighted Parade downtown tomorrow night. (00:22) You've also got the Grand Parade downtown Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock and Sunday out on Pensacola Beach. We've got a full listing of all the Mardi Gras happenings in Pensacola for the weekend at our website, thebteamshow.com. Yeah, so go check it out Gary. Yeah. (00:39) Yeah, it's all right there Gary. We should we should have just like bought McCoy Gary comm Might be there and they could just redirect. Yeah be team show. Yeah, you know, I might I probably can find a picture of him and we might put Wouldn't be weird to put like a little banner up that just said in loving memory of oh my god We're not sending him six feet under yet. (01:06) No, but it would be kind of funny for him to go to the site. What the hell? What? I'm still here. (01:11) You would hear about it. You would hear about it. Well, today on the National Day calendar, it's Oglethorpe Day. That's right. (01:19) It's the day we celebrate the guy who founded Georgia by pretending he meant to, and well, it's supposed to turn out like this. Oglethorpe Day is the magical time of year when a bunch of over-educated Southerners throw a parade for a British guy who showed up in 1733, didn't screw it up too bad, and left before he got sunburned or morally compromised. It's equal parts civic pride, historical cosplay, and group denial about colonialism. You know, you get speeches, cannon fire, at least one professor in a powdered wig pretending that this isn't performance arts for tenure, and well, basically, it's a founding father fan fiction with better costumes and worse snacks. (02:04) It's Oglethorpe Day. Yep. Yeah. That's quite the last name. (02:10) Isn't it? Mr. Oglethorpe. Mr. Oglethorpe. All right, we're going to take a break. (02:14) A look at your marine forecast is coming up. It's almost to the point, Bobby, where the marine forecast is starting to sound somewhat desirable again. Yeah, yeah. Another month or so, maybe. (02:28) All right, we'll take a break. The BT Morning Show rolls on right after this on 100.3 KROQ. Oh, it's Aussie on a Thursday morning. You're riding the crazy train. (02:43) Yep. The B-Team Morning Show. Brought to you by our friends at Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, as well as Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach and Okaloosa Gas. By the way, Stripes and Outkast Sushi, great places to take your sweetheart this weekend for Valentine's, so don't forget to support our morning show sponsors. (03:05) All right. High of 72 this afternoon. The 70s going to stick around the rest of the week and into the weekend. And those of you that enjoy a three-day weekend with President's Day on Monday, just going to be gorgeous all the way through. (03:19) So we'll check that forecast in just a little bit. Plus, there's a guy that has diamonds in his name. First name, Dan. He's got a look at local news in just a bit. (03:30) But today, we celebrate National Lost Penny Day. Look, if you're celebrating National Lost Penny Day, then congratulations, because you've officially run out of problems. Really? Yep. (03:45) You say that they're privileged people, huh? That's where I am. Hey, listen, February 12th is National Lost Penny Day, which is less a celebration and more a cry for help from a nation that once minted zinc discs like they were lottery tickets. You know, it's a day to dig through your couch, your car, and your moral failings in search of Abraham Lincoln's tiniest, most unappreciated headshot. (04:09) Supposedly, it's about finding lost change, but spiritually, it's about confronting the fact that your financial plan includes hoping a coin turns into the dryer lint. If you need a holiday to remember your money's missing, congratulations, you're already qualified to run for office. It's National Lost Penny Day. First time we're celebrating after the minting of the penny has ended. (04:39) It just felt right, after the penny is permanently lost. I wonder if people are going to start collecting them now. Probably. Like they collected those old wheat pennies? (04:48) I can't remember where I was recently, but some place said due to the national penny shortage, because they're no longer being minted, we round ten years, five cents. Huh. Interesting. All right, but we'll check news here in about 10 minutes, plus one more day to reveal on the National Day calendar. (05:09) It's the BT Morning Show on 100.3 KROQ. Here's the outlaws. ZZ Top and I'm bad, I'm nationwide. Working our way towards seven o'clock on a Thursday morning, Friday eve, as Bobby always says. (05:28) Appreciate you all dialing in. It's going to be another beautiful day out there. Highs in the low 70s across our listening area. We'll check your forecast here before too long. (05:37) Skyler Black and Bobby Durell. By the way, if you missed any of the show from yesterday or earlier in the week, we've got it up for you online at thebteamshow.com from the national holidays to local news, events, and the daily ask uncle bobby feature plus the audio from the actual show as well uh... all at the b team show dot com so if you haven't checked it out yet get over there in get her done as larry the cable guy would say well on the uh... (06:06) on the national day calendar today the last one we have to talk about is come on over here give me a hug it's hug day he no yeah because you know certainly that's that's apparently Asking for space is now a considered a hate crime so might as well have it. Oh Personal space yeah, well whatever you know this is just for emotionally stunning people to pretend physical contact counts as growth Yeah, personal bubble you're my bubble yeah, well congratulations Schuyler you're one squeeze away from a personality I Oh, Hug Day, for those unfamiliar with the manufactured intimacy, is the annual reminder that emotional validation can be scheduled like a dentist appointment. (06:52) Yeah, it's the one day where unsolicited physical contact gets rebranded as affection instead of a lawsuit. You know, everyone's out there squeezing each other like overripe fruit, pretending it's about love and not latent panic, but hey! You know, nothing says I care like a quick, awkward embrace before bolting back to your personal bubble of unresolved childhood trauma. Okay, it's hug day, so share as many hugs with as many folks as you can. (07:21) That's right, and when you get arrested, don't come crying to us. Exactly. If you end up with black eyes, not my problem. Minutes away from seven o'clock. (07:31) We are the B team morning show. We'll take a break Look at local news and music from Billy Idol on the way next Sammy Hagar and his song. There's only one guy Bobby likes named Barack Yeah, let's go Hey, beautiful sunshine this morning and didn't see any fog on the way in no, no, it's gonna be a It's going to be quite a nice day, I think. Pretty one out there. (07:59) 72 this afternoon. We're at 60 right now. Sunshine in the forecast today, tomorrow, and parts of Saturday. Now, it does look like there's a possibility for some rain at some point on Sunday. (08:13) Maybe some thunderstorms that could produce some heavy rainfall, but we'll catch you up on that full forecast here in just a little bit. We are the B-Team Morning Show, Scattered Black and Bobby Dewrell, brought to you by our friends at Stripes Pub and Grill in Navarre, as well as Okaloosa Gas and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. By the way, it came out yesterday that the city of Crestview began its new Speed Zone program on Wednesday, installing cameras along East Redstone Avenue near Riverside Elementary and Shoal River Middle School to encourage drivers to slow down and follow posted limits. Now, kind of like Fort Walton did last year, The initiative includes a 30-day warning period during which drivers caught speeding will receive mailed warnings but no fines, as officials focus on promoting safety and helping motorists adjust their behavior. (09:12) After the warning phase ends on March 13th, drivers who violate the speed limit will face a $100 fine. So now Fort Walton, Niceville, and Crestview. All with those school zone speed cameras. So, just don't speed through school zones. (09:32) Yeah, yeah, I mean it, you know, makes sense. Simple as that. Yeah, I enjoy them. I appreciate what it is and what it does. (09:43) I'm not a huge fan of cameras for traffic or everything else. I do believe police officers are a visual deterrent, but I will say the use of these Around the school right for specified hours I mean I can I can get behind that right like that's and you make it Incredibly largely publicly known you're not trying to hide it. It's not a trap. It's you know it is what it is. (10:13) It's not You know we're not we're not putting points against it. It's a simple fee. It is what it is right you know I Think it's I think it's a good thing Well, and those of you that are concerned about additional cameras, I mean, I hate to say it, but there's probably not anywhere in town where there's not a camera on you at some point. (10:35) Somebody's ring camera, somebody's safety security system outside their home. Yeah, don't get me started on the ring cameras. I will never be a part of that. Well when I when I found out that they do that one. (10:50) Yeah, so you know that that they have access to your To all your video on your ring camera and that they hand it over to the police warrantless. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I have a problem with that. Sorry Well, we didn't install them. (11:04) Previous owner had them, and we've been using them. Nice to know when the pet center comes over and lets the dog out and feeds the cats, but yeah, I mean, I can understand some reservations about it for sure. Sorry, a little libertarian in me pops up every now and then. Oh boy, are we going all pain walker this morning? (11:25) No, because he's not a libertarian, he's a... A what? Yeah, never mind. A French dip? (11:32) Sure. Let's go with that. Three percent! Yeah. (11:39) He's an ID10T. ID10T. Yeah, right. Write that on a piece of paper and see what it spells. (11:46) B-Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROQ. We'll check your weather forecast in about nine minutes. Stay with us. It's the B-Team Morning Show. (11:56) Skyler Blank and Bobby Durell set to be another purty day out there. Seventy-two this afternoon. We'll check your forecast in just a bit though right now. It's 60 outside your winter Bobby we were just talking about Cameras being everywhere Following everybody well now tik-tok users are being warned the app may be tracking far more of their activity than they realize Even when they're not on the platform Okay Reports say TikTok uses embedded tracking (12:28) tools, or pixels, placed on outside websites that can collect data like shopping habits, emails, and browsing behavior. That information then can be used to target ads or shape content recommendations. Privacy experts say users can limit some of that tracking by tightening settings like turning off location access, disabling cross-app tracking on iPhones, and blocking targeted ads. Switching to privacy-focused browsers or adding tracker-blocking extensions can also reduce how much data is collected. (12:59) But even with safeguards, experts note that you can only limit the tracking, not fully stop it, unless you stop using the app entirely. Which is why I don't have TikTok. Hmm. Okay. (13:10) Not interested in Chinese apps. Okay. You got nothing? No. (13:18) But you use TikTok all the time. I use a whole lot of stuff. I mean, here's the thing. What is tracking is your behavior to give you targeted ads. (13:27) I would rather do that than see 47 ads for tampons. That doesn't work for you. No, I mean, you know, whatever. You don't have a need for this. (13:38) I'm not thrilled about content curation because I think it's created tribalism, but I mean, outside of grabbing some information to know what to advertise to me to tell me what's on special or what, I mean, like I, I mean, we want to get upset about that, but we'll throw ring cameras everywhere and let warrantless search happen. So my question, is that just an algorithm thing? Yeah. (14:03) Okay. That's all it is. Well, hell, Facebook does that. Exactly. (14:08) Everybody does it. Twitter does that. I mean, and to be quite honest with you, some of the research that's come out of it has made life better, more targeted. It's saved advertisers money. (14:23) It's whatever. just yeah I don't know like I've always had had Facebook for like 20 years now right mm-hmm and I've had X or Twitter off and on for six or seven years did you have a gmail account Yeah. The single, I mean, the ones that started it all, the 800 pound gorilla of your personal data, Gmail. But everybody loves Gmail. (14:57) That willingly farms it out to everyone. I mean, we all use Google. We all use Chrome. We all use, you know, come on, whatever. (15:04) Hell with it. I'm going to ask Jeeves. Is that still a thing? No, I don't think it's still around. (15:14) Let's go back to the early 90s web search where you couldn't find crap. What was the Google search link that had either Google search or I'm feeling lucky? What was the I'm feeling lucky? It just gave you a random site based on what it already knew about you. (15:33) Oh, okay. And to be honest with you, they took that down because it started all the conspiratorial stuff because people started freaking out at how predictable they are. Oh, that's kind of funny actually. That you'd sit down, you'd click I'm feeling lucky and it'd pretty much take you to where you thought you wanted to go. (15:53) What the hell? How do they know? Alright, coming up in about 20 minutes, we'll check in with Uncle Bobby for your daily advice. That's coming up around 7.45. (16:02) We'll take a break. The cars, Donny Iris, Steely Dan, and Kiss. I'll do up in the next set on 100.3 KROQ. Rock the Classic Rock Station. (16:14) Is that Ted Corcoran? I believe so. That definitely looks like Ted. All right. (16:20) CEO of Fort Walton Beach Chamber just stepped in here. We got royalty in the house. That's right. That's right. (16:25) Oh, man. And I'm not dressed for it. I know. I know. (16:29) We're dressed down a little bit. Sixty degrees outside right now. A high today of 72. It's the BT Morning Show. (16:35) Skyler Black and Bobby Durell. Thursday morning. The cars let the good times roll. It's almost like that was meant for Mardi Gras. (16:44) Yeah. Yeah. As Bobby says, Lazy Bud Lights Hooray. That's right. (16:48) Lazy Bud Lights Hooray. Pretty sure that's not what it's supposed to be. So you had something for us, eh? Well, hey, congratulations to Funiac Springs. (16:59) We've made national news. Oh, really? Yeah, that's right. You know, sometimes you like to embellish and make it up, and sometimes you just take it as it is. (17:08) But a wild road rage meltdown in Florida ended with a toothless gunman behind bars. That's right, police say 34-year-old Blackie Alvarez chased down another driver on Highway 331 into Funiak Springs, honking aggressively before cutting the car off and allegedly pointing a handgun at the people inside. Now, deputies later tracked him down where he reportedly pulled the gun from his waistband and set it on his vehicle. When he was arrested, officers found the handgun along with metal knuckles in his pockets and discovered he was already wanted on a warrant for unpaid child support. (17:52) So, the man now faces a stack of charges, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, false imprisonment, illegal firearm possession, and driving without a license. That's cool. I love when we can make the national news. There we go. (18:05) That's right. Right there in the New York Post today. All right. The finest of Walden County. (18:11) Yeah, that's right. All right. Well, the finest of Okaloosa County, Uncle Bobby, will be here in just a little bit for your daily advice. about seven minutes away or so. (18:23) Stay with us for the BT Morning Show brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Here's Steely Dan on 100.3 KROQ. That's right, V Team Morning Show rolls on. It's 7.46. (18:41) Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell brought to you by our friends at Stripes Pub & Grill, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. But the music in the background and the time on your watch tells us it's time to turn to the guy we call Uncle Bobby. That's right, the daily advice you didn't know you needed, all stitched together by Tomcat Custom Apparel. That's right, Comcast Custom Apparel, because chocolates disappear and shirts stick around. (19:08) You know, true love is ordering matching hoodies. It is. It's almost Valentine's Day. Not valentimes. (19:17) Yeah, either or. Alright. I've heard it both ways. Have you? (19:22) Either either. Today, Uncle Bobby, you hear from Swipe Casino Survivor. They write in, they say, Dear Uncle Bobby, I feel overwhelmed and cynical about dating apps. Should I keep using them and trust the algorithm or step away and try to find a more genuine connection? (19:45) Listen, you're not dating, okay? You're pulling the lever on a brightly lit slot machine that occasionally dispenses a person who owns a bed frame, all right? And now you want to know whether to trust the algorithm or trust your own instincts, which have clearly brought you to this glowing carnival of disappointment. So listen, stepping away to find something real? (20:07) Sure, sure. You can wander into the wild and hope destiny hands you a soulmate between the bananas and the frozen peas. Or you can use the machine that is already grinding everyone into data confetti and force it to cough up someone tolerable. You don't pick your poison, but at least with the algorithm, you know who the enemy is. (20:31) All right, here's the truth. The algorithm does not care about your soul, your values, or your fragile little hope. That is exactly why it's perfect. All right, humans get sentimental and start projecting meaning onto three word bio and the algorithm, it just shoves you into the ring and well, rings the bell. (20:53) So look, stop treating this like romance and start treating it like a strategy game where the prize is someone who can hold a conversation without performing for an audience. Let the app be your general and you be the infantry. You're expendable, you're motivated, and you're weirdly proud of it. You want genuine connection? (21:16) Fine. to have to win it in a battlefield designed by people who think love well love is a metric okay so you got to commit to the chaos swipe like you're running a controlled experiment on your own emotions and then show up to the dates like a consultant hired to audit their personality you know if it works congratulations you beat the house if it does not well you still gathered intel and wasted their time back so that's called balance But look, you gotta pick your poison, but at least with the algorithm, you know who the enemy is. (22:01) in your dating app dilemma. Alright, if you've got a question for Uncle Bobby tomorrow, before we head into Valentine's or whatever you're doing this weekend, get it into him because you've got one last chance before Valentine's Day. Bobby at Omni Broadcasting, LLC.com. We do this every morning at 7.50, all stitched together by our friends at BuyTopCatCustomApparel. (22:26) That's right, worthy of forever. Worthy Apparel is custom. It's 7.50. News is next. (22:37) Lonely is the night. 8.05 is the time. Good morning, Emerald Coast. Appreciate y'all dialing in and spending your Thursday with us. (22:46) Thursday, Friday Eve, Bobby. Can you believe the weekend's just about here? 59 degrees, fair skies right now, 72 this afternoon. Mardi Gras in Pensacola is kicking off this weekend. (22:59) We've got all sorts of fun scheduled Saturday afternoon. Hey, Mr. Corcoran, how you doing? Hey, Ted, how are you? Are you allowed to have visitors walk in? (23:08) Oh, well, I mean, we do now. You guys are so popular. I didn't know I'd be able to make it in, but it's so exciting. I was just driving by. (23:16) I said, maybe those cool cats will be on the radio and I can cop by. Well, the cats are. I don't know if they're cool, but they are. Meow. (23:21) You're well-dressed. Rawr. You have your matching outfits, your K-Rock outfits on. Yeah, he follows me. (23:27) You know, some people would think you're just in here with tank tops and Speedos, but no, you guys look very professional. Yeah, well, it's a good thing you missed us yesterday. It was bunny slippers and PJs. Because that would have been a little more shocking to me. (23:43) But we're so grateful for your continued promotion to our community and your support with Omni and your other two stations that you have here, which is fantastic. So how's everything going over at the Chamber? What's going on? I was just talking to Dan Diamond right over there about that big event we have coming up. (23:57) Boy, he's a jewel. He's a jewel, isn't he? Oh, look at that. Some could even say a gem. (24:04) Have you used that before or did you just come up with it? That was all spur of the moment. Are you kidding me? He has been sitting on that for too long. (24:10) Stop! Stop telling him my secrets! Someone is going to set me up at some point in time. It's coming in and there it was. (24:20) He's a jewel. No, he's a gem. Dan Diamond right next door to you. No, we were chatting about our big event. (24:26) You know, we do a lot of things honoring our heroes, my friends, and Saturday, February 28th, we're honoring the 35th anniversary of Desert Storm. Now, were you alive in Desert Storm? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I was in high school. (24:36) Okay, and so you remember it. Now, you weren't. No, that was the year before I was born. Okay, yeah, I was going to say, so we have an interesting contrast between the two of you, right? (24:44) Because some people have heard about it, like yourself, and they're like, well, what was it? and others like yourself may have seen it on TV and kind of lived it. So that's why it's very important for the community to honor folks, you know, a lot of people. Tom Rice, who owns Magnolia Grill, lots of people in our community served at Desert Storm. (25:02) We won that war. It was a good war. We won it big. Quickly. (25:06) Quickly. Six months or so, right? Well, a little longer than Grenada. And a lot of those folks are serving here, too. (25:15) But we just, it's amazing to that point. 35 years have passed, and on February 28th, which was the actual end of the war in 1991, we're having a banquet at the fairgrounds, and we want everyone to go. It's 35 bucks, and we're gonna have some great speakers, and it's just what we do. We just have to keep the educating, the young kids, like your partner over here, and the getting older kids, like yourself there. (25:37) With the Santa beard, man. I haven't seen you in a while. Have you talked to him about the Santa beard? Oh, he can play Santa Claus. (25:44) Yeah, I know you can. Yeah, I usually shave it down to a goatee around November so nobody asks. I can't wait to sit on your lap come Christmas time. Christmas time, I play the Grinch, he plays Santa. (25:55) That's right. It's a good combination for the two of you. This is why, everyone, if you're driving by the fabulous Omni Broadcasting Station, is anyone allowed to pop in? Oh yeah, why not? (26:04) Absolutely. We get all sorts of strange different folks that pop in with different needs. All right. Some domestically challenged. (26:14) You need to get domestically challenged. You got bumper stickers, right? You got bumper stickers they can pick up? Oh, yeah. (26:18) Absolutely. What about any shirts? Do you have any shirts? KROQ shirts still? (26:21) We do have some shirts. Okay, so maybe. Most of the smalls. So just always recommend as you're driving around here, stop by normally during business hours, nine to five, but say hello to these fine people who are doing great entertainment and bringing great media to our community. (26:33) Well, thanks for stopping in, Ted. My pleasure. While no one's looking now, I'm going to take some post-it notes from under the desk for the Chamber. Well, I know. (26:39) That's how the Chamber survives, right? Grab a couple of pens, too. Hey, let us know. We want to come in and have you come in and chat Chamber. (26:46) I will look forward to that. I'll get in touch with you folks. Thanks for the opportunity today. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood in Fort Walden, everyone. (26:52) Beautiful day. Have a good one, Ted. Ted Corcoran, CEO of Fort Walden Beach Chamber of Commerce. You never know who's going to stop in the studio. (27:01) I know. Hey, Ted, if you need an autograph, let us know. Hey, they could auction it. We could do that the next First Friday Coffee. (27:12) B-Team autograph headshots. Starting bids? Start at a nickel. I don't know, man. (27:18) A dollar, maybe? I don't think I can pay people much more than that to take them. Jerry Rafferty and Baker Street. It's a B-Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROQ. (27:33) The Romantics, talking in your sleep. Are you a sleep talker? Uh, no. Are you a sleepwalker? (27:41) Nope. No? It's the B-Team Morning Show, Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell. Thursday morning, Friday eve as we like to say around here. (27:50) Remember this weekend you've got Mardi Gras parades over in Pensacola. Downtown Saturday, on the beach on Sunday we've got the full schedule for Mardi Gras in Pensacola on our events tab at thebteamshow.com plus a whole listing of other area events coming up not only this month but next month as well. log online if you have not checked out our website to be team show dot com and uh... c what's all there but uh... (28:21) yeah events i know it's always scary events news uh... what else we have their daily holidays and ask uncle bobby and uh... actual rewinds and uh... the redux of the show mhm so you can listen to the on the uh... (28:40) it's all online at the team show dot com that's raining here's callout sugar shane we got a sugar shane we have we'd didn't son of a buck man made me a wire uh... too much going on and now he's crying We're just going to blame that one on Ted. Yep. Because Ted came in, ruined our train of thought. (29:00) Yep. Distracted us. That's what it was. It was Ted Cochran's fault. (29:03) We just can't think when royalty steps in the studio. That's right. I cannot believe that people travel to a California fire department to check out a lightbulb. Yeah, but it's a 120-year-old bulb. (29:20) I mean, come on. That is wild. A fire station lightbulb in California has become one of the world's strangest tourist attractions because it's barely ever gone out in over 120 years. The bulb housed at a fire station near Livermore, around San Francisco, has been burning for well over a century, earning the nickname the longest burning lightbulb. (29:42) It was first installed back in 1901. It doesn't seem like a nickname. No, that just sounds like a statement. What's your nickname, Bobby? (29:52) Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Now, aside from brief outages from power failures or moves, it's remained lit ever since. My nickname is Six Foot Two White Guy. (30:04) Yeah. Oh, that's catchy. Now what makes this remarkable is how dim it actually glows today compared to modern bulbs. Experts say that's part of why it's lasted so long along with the thicker early era filaments and lower power usage. (30:21) Now the bulb is monitored by live webcam and draws visitors from around the world. Yeah, it has its own webcam. Mm-hmm for a light bulb and it's a it's gonna be thrilling video. It's gotta be yeah riveting stuff right there actually when the story came out a few years ago before as it was approaching hundred and twenty years, but I Went and checked out the webcam. (30:48) I'll be honest. Did you really I mean what the hell I? There was no picture, and I'm like, what's this bulb look like? Yeah, well, we've got a picture here. (30:56) Yeah, I know. Yeah, it's not very pretty looking. It looks like a bulb. It looks like a bulb from the early 1900s. (31:02) But 1901, it's 2020, so that's 125 years now. So there you go. If you want to check it out and you have nothing else better to do, go watch a webcam of a light bulb. You know what's going to happen is somebody's going to be moving a ladder one day and hit it, and it's going to pop, shatter. (31:18) And they're going to be like, son of a. That might get you fired, and I don't even know if the fire union could protect you from that. You've destroyed history at that point. Let's take a break. (31:31) Coming up, Don Henley, Def Leppard, the Dire Straits, and more in the final half hour of the B-Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROQ. Animal, Def Leppard on 100.3 KROQ, the Classic Rock Station. It's the B-Team Morning Show on a Thursday. Beautiful sunshine across the Emerald Coast right now. (31:51) Today we'll see a high of 72. We're at 59 at 840 this morning. Now, down in the Keys, off the coast, there is a channel that's lined with hanging toilet seats. Did you hear about this? (32:07) Yeah, I was reading that. Apparently there's a story behind it. Now the spot nicknamed Toilet Seat Cut. Yeah, it's a real humdinger of a name. (32:18) Another great nickname. Near Plantation Key dates back to the 1950s when a local man carved a shortcut through shallow bay waters to make boating trips easier. He marked the channel with poles to guide boats safely through. After Hurricane Donna tore through the Keys in 1960, debris scattered everywhere and a toilet seat ended up hanging from one of those markers. (32:42) The man cleaned it, painted it, and put it back as a joke. Now over time, Locals joined in, decorating and hanging their own toilet seats along the cut. Some act as navigation markers, others as memorials or tributes to loved ones. Now it's a quirky local tradition, though technically illegal since unpermitted markers in the water obviously violate navigation laws. (33:08) If you ever want to go see decorated toilet seats, visit Plantation Key down in the Florida Keys. What are we going to do around here? If they reopen the Navarre Pass, we could like... Yeah. (33:24) Maybe we could decorate it with signs that say, Too Far. Too Far Navarre. There you go. We're going to make this thing stick, Bobby. (33:39) It's a B-Team morning show. It's Gather Black and Bobby Durell with the Dire Straits now on KROQ. Van Halen, dance the night away on 100.3 KROQ. It's not quite the night, but we're going to dance on out of here. (33:56) Oh, yeah. Well, Bobby's going to dance on out of here. I'll walk. Sante or sache. (34:02) Whatever you want to do. Whatever you want to do. But we're calling it quits for today. The B-Team Morning Show wrapping it up. (34:09) I want to thank all of our sponsors, including Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Did you have to think about that? I did. Shame on me. (34:20) By the way, OutKast Sushi and Stripes, great places, great options to take your sweetheart for dinner this weekend with Valentine's Day. And with all the Mardi Gras happenings in Pensacola this weekend, we've got a full listing on our website at thebteamshow.com. So go check out our website if you haven't done so yet. All right, we'll see you back here tomorrow morning for the B-Team Morning Show TGI Friday version. (34:45) Until then, I'm Skyler Blank, and he's Bobby Durell to get us out. Hey, folks, thanks for listening to the B-Team Morning Show, your leading alternative to 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 a morning show. But it's come that time of day. (35:01) We've got to get out of here. So you keep on rocking, keep on rolling, and 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.
