Well, you'll wake up Saturday morning and something spontaneous will happen. Maybe, or I'll come in Monday and go Oh yeah, we totally forgot about that. We just decided we'll just go to Tallahassee next weekend. (10:16) Yeah. Which I would love to do. Not sure if we're going to make it yet or not. Great big celebration going on over there. Yeah, it's going to be fun. Looking forward to it. Yeah. 42 degrees right now outside. (10:32) Cold this morning, but nice this afternoon. 71 returns to the Emerald Coast today. Yeah, it didn't feel that bad outside. In fact, I walked out this morning without a jacket on and that was fine. I did too. I mean, it was chilly, but I had, you know, a 20-step walk from the door to the truck. (10:50) I wouldn't go out without a sweatshirt if you're going for a walk or a jog this morning. You might need that. But, you know, just a quick jaunt down the sidewalk you're probably okay. Yeah, you're going to be okay. It's not bad. Take a look at your extended forecast. (11:06) Like I said, 71 today, 74 tomorrow. This weekend, sunny 77 Saturday, sunny 78 Sunday. Flirting with the low 80s on Monday. Okay. Getting back up into some little higher temperatures. It still feels great, though. (11:22) It does. It still feels great. I will say, I talked to my mother this morning before we got on the air because she's always up at like 3 in the morning. Really? Yes. One of those people? Yeah. Up at 3 and asleep by 8. (11:38) That's just how she rolls. But she works fairly early in the morning. Hell, up there, it's supposed to be like 86 on Saturday. Really? Yeah. I thought, didn't they just went through a bad cold snap and snow and all that stuff, right? Oh, sure. (11:54) One of the wildest temperature swings I can remember, I think it was the year of COVID, 19 or 20, I can't remember. But it was like Christmas Eve, it was like 72. (12:10) And then by the 26th, a big cold front came in and we had a wind chill of 40 below. It was like a 110 degree temperature swing in 48 hours. Oh my gosh. That's pretty significant. Oh yeah. Absolutely. You want to talk about having a really screwed up wardrobe. Yeah. (12:28) Right? Yeah. Because you're in shorts one day and the next day you are ready for an Arctic blast. I look like Ralphie's little brother. Yeah, we didn't lick the pole though. Well, I can't say. Some people did. (12:46) Some people did. I'm going to bet money that some people did. Maybe there's one guy named Bobby. Yeah. Funny enough. Exactly. Isn't that ironic? Yeah, it is. Don't you think? (13:02) Sorry, I didn't mean to go Alanis Morissette on you there. So, quick question for you. Do you have the same weather pattern up there? Like, you know, here we always seem to get, you know, it starts to warm up and then you get that one, not long but brief cold snap before the before the spring moves in. (13:18) Same thing up there. I think it was Valentine's weekend, Pensacola Mardi Gras weekend last month. You know, it was beautiful here. It was like 70. It was like 78 there. And then the next week comes in and there's an ice storm. (13:34) That's what's tough in the Midwest. Yes, you do get some days in the 60s and 70s in the wintertime. It's those volatile swings. I mean, it's not a cold front down to 45, 50 degrees. It's a cold front down to like 15 over the course of a day. And it's just a yo-yo constantly, back and forth. (13:58) Now, further if you go further north, if you get up to Minnesota, Wisconsin, you get up to the top tier of states, it stays more cold consistently. But we were southern Iowa. We were Iowa-Missouri border. And so you get those volatile 55, 32, 71, 40. It's just back and forth, back and forth. And that's why everybody's sick all the damn time. (14:26) You just don't know how to your body can't acclimate to that much volatility and change of forecast over the course of such a short time. I wonder how it's going to affect people around here for the next week or so. Are people sick? (14:42) I don't know. I don't know. Maybe. And I think part of it has to do with people just get irritated by it. So they get defiant. You know what? Screw this cold front. It'll be over in another day or two. I'm not breaking out the winter clothes again. So they go out and they dress like it's still 65 degrees when it's 12. (15:04) Yeah. And then they wonder two days later why they're sick. And if there's any doctors or medical professionals out there saying the cold can't make you sick, I'm not a doctor. (15:20) But I'm just saying people tend to have a little more illness in the winter time. Maybe some of it's perceived. Or wanted. I don't feel good. I don't want to go to work. It's like when we went to Minnesota. (15:36) I had a great time. Until the night after, we decided to ride around in a fire truck in 14 below wind chill. Shirtless. Nobody was sick. And then that next day, everybody started feeling bad. (15:52) I wonder why. Mark Grinland, thanks! Poor decisions. What a first mate you are. BT Boarding Show. Schuyler Black, Tom Mason. It's a thirsty Thursday. (16:08) You're rocking with the B Team on 100.3K Rock. T-Rex, bang a gong. Get it on. How you doing? Me? I'm great. Terrific Tom over there. Good morning. (16:24) Today's great. Great day today. I'm sorry. I know that's not the way I'm supposed to be. Wasn't it just laugh day or something like that? Yeah. Why aren't you laughing? I was. I thought I had to put my serious face on. (16:40) Serious time. Focus! Something changed. It's the B Team Morning Show on 100.3K Rock. The Classic Rock Station. I'm Schuyler Black. He's Tom Mason. We are the B Team. (16:56) Brought to you by our friends at Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas at Outkast Sushi We're at the beach and if you're sitting at home or driving in your car and you're saying I thought Bobby was also part of the B Team. Well, it requires Bobby to be here to be part of the B Team. Yeah, when you up and leave you're kind of forgotten about. (17:14) In fact, it's going to get hard to remember his name pretty soon. Yeah. That's just unfortunate the way it goes. For those of you that don't know, he is on a temporary He took a temporary job in Greece. (17:30) Now a volunteer job at that. Babysitter. I may forget his name when he returns next week or April or whenever he gets back. But he's from Greece. I think I might just call him George Soros. He's getting inundated. (17:46) He'll learn how to protest. He's getting lurked. Alright. Well, coming up this morning I believe Sherry from One Hopeful Place is around 8.15 to talk about their Fried For A Cause Fish Fry coming up next month. (18:02) Very cool. Third annual fish fry that they've done over at Liza Jackson Park and that we've helped promote. It's a great event. It's a ton of fun. Dewey Destins does all the food. They fry all the fish. (18:18) With the tickets you get two or three fillets of fish. You get fries, and coleslaw. And then usually you get a drink too. All the good fixings, man. Everything is good. It's totally enjoyable. (18:34) And shout out to our good friend, Frank Bennett, Frank the Bank over at Loan Depot. He and Karen are proud sponsors of the fish fry this year as well. Second year in a row. Thank you, Frank. Thank you much. Yeah, it's a neat event. (18:50) We've been down there and they did a good job. They put together a good event. In the last two years, they've sold out tickets. We do have a link on our events tab at thebteamshow.com for you to go buy those tickets. (19:06) Sherry's going to give us all the details on what they've got planned. It's scheduled for Friday, April 17th at Liza Jackson Park. More on that next hour. You told me you had a story coming out of the state of Washington. (19:22) I do, yeah. This is a good one here. A late night ride on an electric unicycle ended in a DUI arrest in Kitsap County, Washington. Deputies say a 34-year-old man was spotted riding erratically, briefly fled a traffic stop, then was found after crashing into a ditch. Good lord! (19:46) He had a rough day. I wonder if they had to use a pit maneuver on him. Officers said he showed signs of intoxication and later measured a blood alcohol level more than twice the legal limit. Not a chance! (20:01) So I watch on YouTube, I watch some of those shows where they're chasing people and things like that and I think about those high speed chases and pit maneuvers and stuff like that and this guy trying to get away on his electric unicycle, it's just, that had to be a comedy show. (20:20) You know, we read these stories in the morning and we talk about them and you see videos online and I must say, it sure makes me feel better about myself. It does. I know I'm not the brightest guy, but there's a lot of people stupider than I am. (20:37) A lot. Exactly, yeah. I am. A lot. Exactly, yeah. I'll never claim to be an Ivy League grad, but I ain't that dumb. I'm not out there trying to get away on a unicycle. (20:52) Jesus. Can you picture that? Well, you know, sadly I can't. Now this is the guy that just left Barnum & Bailey, right? He's one of the highlights of the show now. (21:07) He's the guy that goes around the loop in the electric unicycle. He thinks he's got it going on. What a clown. We're going to take a break. Coming up in about, I don't know, 16 minutes or so, man, we are behind again. This show always runs behind when you're here. (21:24) I know. You said that the other day. I keep looking at that countdown thing going, ooh, we're back to where we were. We're in trouble again. Uh-huh, uh-huh. We've got Ask Uncle Tom coming up in just a little bit, plus we've got another bust to talk about. (21:41) Yeah. Yeah. What is that? Oh, yeah, we do. Yeah. Another one. Our local sheriff departments have been, they've been busting about every Gulf Coast state with the exception of some Florida students, so stay with us. We'll talk about the one that came out yesterday. (21:57) Good deal. All right. 731, the time. Local weather's next. Classic Rock Station. It is Thursday morning, 742 is the time if you're stepping outside this morning and you're saying, ooh, a bit nippy. It's 43 at the moment, but 71 will be our high this afternoon, mid-70s tomorrow and upper 70s for the weekend, so we'll get you caught up on what the forecast looks like in just a bit. (22:23) And Diamond has local news coming your way before 8 o'clock, but Tom, we continue to have local busts when it comes to spring breakers. Yeah. One more school added to the list. One more school. So we started last week with LSU, Ertin, LSU, and Ole Miss, and then we got Texas, and then we got Okie State. (22:47) And yesterday, Walton County Sheriff's Office announced, they said, allow us to address the elephant in the room. No pun intended. Yeah, Alabama. They were evicted before 7 p.m. (23:02) Before 7 o'clock, man. On Tuesday night. And they say, that's got to be a new record. Just after 5 p.m. on Tuesday, the Walton County Sheriff's Office was called by a property manager for a home on Overlook Circle in Miramar Beach. They asked for a deputy to stand by while they evicted a group having a house party and probably playing Dixieland Delight too loud. (23:24) That'll get you thrown out right there. No one inside was 21. Now heading back home to Sweet Home Alabama before sunset must have been a tidal wave of emotions. (23:39) Somebody's great at writing this stuff, man. They're a good read. College kids keep being done. I enjoy reading this stuff. Our agency, the Walton County Sheriff's Office said, our agency will continue to aggressively monitor those here on spring break, disrupting quality of life for those who call Walton County home. (23:58) Wow. You think the word's going to get out anytime soon? Behave? I don't know, man. Take it to the beach, take it to the club, take it wherever, but not at the house. Yeah, but they're not 21, so they're not going to go to the club. Well, yeah, that's true. That's true. (24:13) And they get busted on the beach, so maybe you shouldn't drink before you're 21 like that. 18, 19, 20-year-old kids, look, and I'd be lying if we all didn't drink underage at some point, right? (24:29) Sure. Tom, I mean, I'm just, I'm not speaking for myself. I can't remember back that far. Good morning, Sheriff Aden and Chief Beige, how you doing? Tom Mason's his name. Yeah. You can find us on Bill Parkway. There's video out there somewhere. Yeah, it was a long time ago, maybe black and white and kind of grainy. (24:49) Yeah, you got to hand crank it. On the reel-to-reel. That's right, yeah. But anyway, I don't know, man, they're still kids. That's the thing. We can talk to them until they're blue in the face about, you know, don't get rowdy, have fun, but don't get rowdy, but they're still kids and they don't know how to handle alcohol. (25:10) And I think that, you know, there's a little bit of, you just got to be a little bit smart. If you're going to, I'm not trying to tell you how to get away with things, but if you're doing stuff like that, you know, don't have the music cranked up outside in the backyard. You know, all those things that highlight you and put you right there in the spotlight, you got to have somebody who's willing to go, hey, let's not do that, you know? (25:36) Those are red flags. Exactly. Okay, you're drawing attention to yourself. Cars parked all over the yard and mayhem, chaos. Exactly. Beer cans thrown across the yard. Yeah. Naked people running down the street. It's not going to do you any good. (25:51) Girls flashing themselves up on the balcony or something, you know, that's going to draw attention. Having your own parade on the street. Yeah. It's not going to work. No, it's not. Yeah. So just a fair warning on how that works for you. (26:07) Yeah, be smart. But anyway, Bama's on the list. Okay. So the last Gulf Coast state we have yet to bust for spring breakers is right here in the state of Florida. Yeah. We don't have a Florida college yet. We don't. (26:22) Maybe we can get through this without that. That would be great. That's some bragging rights there. Yeah. Yeah. There would be some bragging rights. Right. Least dumb state. All right, stick tight. Uncle Tom's got advice for you just a little bit. (26:39) Sure do. All right. Stay with us. Van Halen now on 100.3 KROCK. Gives me an idea for some of these college kids down here on spring break. Hey. You don't want to draw attention to yourself. Don't get too rowdy. Play a drinking game inside the house. (26:56) Play that song and count and take a sip for every time they say hey. Yeah. Yeah. Because then you'll pass out and you can't make trouble. Exactly. Exactly. Before 7 p.m. Right. Yeah. Good advice. (27:11) All right. I'm glad I could be Uncle Schuyler this morning. You are a, yeah, you're something. That's phenomenal, Tom. Fantastic. Great. Yeah. Great way to help those kids get trashed. (27:28) Feel like you're talking a long time here, Tom. All right. It's 7.51. It's time for Ask Uncle Tom. That's right. The daily advice you didn't know you needed all stitched together by Tomcat Custom Apparel at the corner of Beal and Racetrack, Wright Plaza, right here in Fort Walton Beach. (27:48) And today, Uncle Tom, you hear from Too Polite to Leave. They write in saying, Dear Uncle Tom, I like this. I stopped at Bucky's the other day and experienced something I was not emotionally prepared for. (28:03) After washing my hands, the paper towel dispenser gave me a towel. I took it. Then it gave me another one, and I felt chosen, obligated, so I took that one, too. Then it dispensed a third. At this point, I felt rude for not taking it. (28:20) I may have whispered, thank you. Then a fourth came out, and that's when I looked around and realized other grown adults were also standing there, locked in silent compliance with the machine. Why did I feel socially pressured by a paper towel dispenser? (28:37) Well, first of all, Bucky's did not operate gas stations. They operate psychological experiments. That paper towel dispenser wasn't malfunctioning. It was asserting dominance. The first towel is practical. (28:52) The second is generous. The third is a test of character, and by the fourth, you are no longer drying your hands. You are participating in an automated loyalty program. You felt obligated because somewhere deep in your upbringing is a voice that says, if someone offers you something, you accept it politely. (29:12) That machine exploited your manners. It dispensed towels with the confidence of a grandmother, insisting you take the leftovers. Here, baby, take another. You look like you need it. And there you stood, hands already dry, clutching a stack of industrial paper like you were preparing for a spill that never happened. (29:31) Meanwhile, across the restroom, other men were doing the exact same thing, making brief eye contact that said, we cannot anger it. The key mistake was assuming you were in control of the interaction. (29:46) You weren't. The dispenser sets the pace. The only way to win is to take one towel and walk away immediately, even if it continues feeding paper into the void behind you. It's not wasteful. It's establishing boundaries. Because if you don't leave when you're dry, you'll be there forever, nodding politely at a machine that believes in abundance. (30:06) So there you go. Too polite to leave. Yeah, that should, you know, rest your worries. Yeah. Yeah, go get another chopped brisket sandwich. And a t-shirt and a t-shirt. Yeah. And a pet rock that you didn't know you needed. Uh huh. What else? Go get some of the the bucky nuggets. The little. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Popcorn. Some caramel popcorn stuff there. Oh, God. Yeah. And you look at the calorie content on those. Holy smokes. (30:38) Will you ever look at the people going in and out of there? Yeah, it's true. Not saying, but I'm just saying. Yeah. Those who shop at Bucky's look like truckies. That was that was in the Bible. (30:54) If it wasn't. Yeah. That's pretty good that you know that it's called is in, you know, Buck anonymous or yeah, there's a whole section on that. Yeah, there's a there's a book that a lot of people don't know. It's the unpublished part. Right? (31:11) That's the Catholic version. Right? You're gonna get smoked, man. Oh, man. You're gonna get smoked. What verse was that? I don't know. But you're on you're on track to get smoked. (31:26) All right. It's 755 Dan diamond has local news next on 100.3 KROCK. Who? I don't know. What do they mean when they say that? I don't know. You caught me off guard with that one. I wasn't even expecting that. The dander chief. The dander chief. Yeah. (31:48) Dirty deeds done. Dander and dander chief. Okay. Or dirty deeds done with sheep. Now, what do you hear? What do I hear? Yeah. Well, I hear dirty deeds done dirt cheap. But you know, that's, that's a your ears are better than mine. Maybe I'm one of those odd guys. Because I feel like I'm missing something now. Well, if you just think about it, you can hear songs all sorts of different ways. Oh, I know. We were talking about man for man's earlier. Yeah. Wrap up like a wrap up like a douche. (32:23) That's right. And everybody thinks that that's not just one of those. You're just being goofy. Like when somebody hears that song. Yeah, that is exactly what they hear. Right? Because that's the first thing out of their mouth as they start singing it and singing it that way. And you go, Oh, that's not actually what it's supposed to say. What was that? Was that Aerosmith song? My buddy used to sing it all the time. Do the lucky lady. I'm like, that's not what they're saying. (32:51) Oh, it's not. Yeah. It's like the Steve Miller song. Jet Airliner Chico. And, and here's the funny part is there's there's 10 different versions of singing it wrong. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, that's the crazy part. And with AI now like AI will will think of a bunch of just different twisted lyrics. Yeah, it's wild. Because I'll have videos come up and like Facebook reels. Yeah. And I never I never would have thought that but then once you see the AI goofy lyrics, yeah. And you hear that song. Yeah, you'll never hear that damn damn same song again. I know you can't unhear it. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. Anyway, good morning, everybody. Hope you're doing well. It's Thursday. We are The B Team morning show scatter black and Tom Mason brought to you by stripes pub and grill and have our Okaloosa gas and outcast sushi in Miramar Beach, I believe. Sherry from one hopeful place will be joining us in just a little bit to talk about the upcoming fish fry they've got going on at Liza Jackson Park next month. So more on that here in just a bit. But I believe Tom had a story that he was very, very in tune with. (34:05) Yeah, I got this story. And and funny when I when I read the headline, I thought of it from a from a very humorous perspective. It could it could go either way. But anyway, a new study suggests that millions of Americans have at some point thought about shooting someone. Research has found about 7% of the US population, roughly 19.4 million people said they've had this thought in their lifetime. And about 3%, about 8.7 million reportedly having such thoughts in just the past year. Wow. What what it doesn't go on to talk about in in this article is how much of that is just that? Oh, gosh, if I could just take that person, you know, that that intrusive thought that, of course, I mean, everybody has that. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. But if you're saying close to 20 million people have really, really thought about it? Well, that's what I'm saying. It doesn't really go into whether they've really thought about it or whether it was just one of those intrusive thoughts where they just really wanted to get rid of the annoyance that was in their life at that moment. Because if it's those intrusive thoughts, then the number is going to be closer to 100%. (35:17) Exactly. So some people may not be necessarily being 100% honest on this thing. But yeah, we've Okay, so I opened up the article that highlighted the story you're talking about here. Yeah. All right. About 4 million of the people in this survey that responded, about 4 million people who had thoughts of shooting someone told another person a disclosure reason disclosure researchers say could serve as a critical intervention point. So not only did they have the intrusive thoughts they were telling other people, I'm thinking about doing this. (35:53) So that there there you go. So now you've got accessories. Yeah, this could go sideways. So fast. It sure can. Boy, you man, you pick the onion on this story, didn't you? Let's just start peeling back the layers. Yeah, I don't know if we got enough time in the day. I don't know. But we'll get into we'll get in trouble. What does Ron say? This isn't talk radio, guys. (36:12) We do have a talk station over on 94.3 FM. We get into some conversation sometimes. But this one was, I thought it was kind of interesting. Like I said, when I when I read it, at first, I was looking at it from that sort of humorous perspective where you know, you might just you just go, Oh, gosh, if I could just get rid of that person for a little while. Oh, yeah. I mean, look at it. Look at this. I mean, our wives think of that almost daily. Oh, sure. Yeah. (36:42) Yeah. Yeah. But now they may think about each other for a split second. Yeah. And then actually telling someone Yeah, I want to do that. Yeah. Totally different. As far as we know. Right. As far as we know. Exactly. Exactly. Hey, how about some lighter news? Everybody loves puppies, right? Everybody loves puppies. Yeah, the American chemical club came out with its annual rankings of the nation's most popular brand breeds. And while the French Bulldog is hanging on to number one, the dachshund the wiener dog, suddenly, the hot dog on its heels. Yeah. Yeah, the dachshund came in at the fifth most popular breed in the US this year. Okay. The sausage dog enters the top five for the first time in more than 20 years. Very cool. I like dachshunds. German Shepherd was number four. Yeah, because everybody respects him. Yeah. (37:39) Right. They just kind of command that authority. Yeah. One of my favorites. Golden Retrievers. Everybody loves a golden. Yeah. Number three. Yeah. Retrievers do well as a whole Labrador Retriever number two. Yeah. America's number two pooch held the top spot for an incredible 31 years. I can believe that. (37:59) Wow. Yeah. They're great dogs. They are. I've had I've had three labs. Yeah. And Riley, my black lab, 11 and a half now. Yeah. But yeah, love labs. And Taylor grew up with with goldens. So we're both retriever people. Yeah. And she she she loves Riley. Okay. Yeah. But she thinks he's she has a tendency think labs are spazier than than golden. Um, yeah, but they're also smart. Yeah, they are. They are. I don't think goldens are known for high intelligence. I'm sure there are some out there. And but yeah, sometimes you look at them and go, you're just a dumb dog. (38:41) There goes another drop of drool. The French Bulldog. All right. The run of the French Bulldog being at the top may be in danger with only about half as many new registrations last year as in 2024. Okay. So this is America. Yeah, about the American Bulldog gets to the top. There you go. Not the French Bulldog, the one that gives up all the time. Exactly. Yeah. The white flag waivers. (39:11) They can have their toast. They can have their fries. Right? Give us the dog. Yeah. Man's best friend. And the French are not. You're gonna roll with this, aren't you? Here's the doobies on 100.3 KROCK. John Fogerty on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. Good morning, everybody. Hope you're doing well. Looks are deceiving. It looks like it's sunny outside and going to be a nice day and it will be eventually. But right now 46 degrees outside your winter winter and a winter 71 this afternoon. We'll check that full forecast in just a few short moments. Coming up over the next month, we're going to be talking about the weather. We're going to be talking about the weather. We're going to be talking about the weather. We're going to be talking about the weather.

Also, yesterday, because our prep service here that prepares some of the morning show stories and news that we talk about, reported that WNBA and their players have struck a deal in preparation for its 30th season. The league has reached a new collective bargaining agreement just 51 days before tip-off. LSU grad Angel Reese has reportedly signed a new contract with the Chicago Sky valued at $1,400 and includes a 2014 Mazda 6 with 320,000 miles on it. In other news, who cares? The whole WNBA thing and that contract negotiation, I was watching some of it the other day and just amazed by it. Amazed? Good or bad? Bad. I mean, the level, you know, the folks that are in the league are angry because there's up-and-coming players that seem to be taking the spotlight and stuff like that, that are actually helping the league. Yeah, and it's visibility and popularity. Yeah, exactly, but those veteran players are angry because they're not in the spotlight anymore. It's like, come on, you said you wanted this, now you're getting it and now you're angry about it. Which is it? What do you want? Right, well, I'm sorry, but I know there's a lot of hate towards Kaitlin Clark among some of those veteran players because she has increased the visibility of the league and she is the face of the league, but she became the world star, right? She became a household name. And up until four or five years ago, when she took Iowa to the final four championship game two years in a row, how many households in America knew of a, could recall the name of a women's basketball player? Right, exactly. I mean, so they ought to be thanking her for their paycheck. There you go, yeah. Rather than being so jealous. Yeah, exactly. That's what it seems like it comes down to. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but it just seems like a lot of jealousy about it. And that's unfortunate because it has highlighted and put them in the spotlight. Her being in the league has highlighted and put them in the spotlight. (43:34) And then, of course, the drama behind it, which, oh my gosh, there's drama behind it. Go figure. It's been wild because I covered her in high school. We were still in Des Moines at the time. And I knew she was good. Didn't know she was going to be the world superstar within a couple years. But again, every generation has somebody that stands out for them. I mean, sorry, when I think of NBA, I still think of Michael Jordan. Yeah, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, those big name players. When I think of the NFL 25 years ago, 30 years ago, I still think of Brett Favre and Peyton Manning and Kurt Warner. I mean, I think people just resonate with generations when they were growing up. Sure, that makes sense. But you had something for us, didn't you? I did. Yeah. There's a story out there that one smartphone notification disrupts a person's concentration for about seven seconds. Even a single smartphone notification can briefly disrupt your thinking. Researchers discovered that a pop-up alert can slow mental processing for about seven seconds, with the effect strongest when the message feels personally relevant or emotionally important. Yeah, I'm a victim of this. Absolutely, we all are. But imagine being a teacher today and trying to keep the attention of 13-year-old kids. Yeah, I think it's great that they said, okay, no more cell phones in schools, at least in the state of Florida. I agree with you. How do you enforce it? I'm not exactly sure yet. Well, I think they've come up with a decent solution. There's parents out there that, oh, I want to be in touch with my kid. I got it. But guess what? It's just the price is too high. What did we do before cell phones? You called the school office. Exactly. And you relayed a message. Right. And people say, well, it's a different age. No, it's not. It is because you make it that way. Right. Let the kids go to school. Let them be in school and disconnect them from everything else going on while they're in school so they can concentrate and focus on what they need to be doing. Well said, Tom. Well said. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. As we continue Ask Uncle Tom this morning. Yeah. Uh-huh. (46:10) We continue Ask Uncle Tom this morning. Yeah. Uh-huh. New subject, huh? Yeah. 830 is the time. We'll take a break. Take a look at weather. Play a few more tunes before Tom and I get out of here in about 20 minutes. It's the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. I'm Omni Broadcasting Meteorologist Jennifer Wojcicki with your updated forecast. Lots of sunshine today with daytime highs approaching 69. East winds around five miles per hour. Clear skies tonight. Lows dip down to about 49. Mainly sunny skies tomorrow. Highs level off around 71. Highs level off around 74. Saturday, under clear skies. 75 Sunday. I'm Omni Broadcasting's Meteorologist Jennifer Wojcicki. 100.3 KROCK. Motley Crue, shout out to Durrells. Yeah, why not? No, one of them. Yeah, shout out to Durrell. At a Durrell. Yeah, there you go. With the B Team Morning Show, Schuyler Black and Tom Mason. Of course, Tom filling in for Bobby while he is over in Europe right now. Haven't heard from him in a couple days. I know. Earlier this week, he was all gung-ho that he was gonna send us some interviews with the kids, talk to them about the trip. Yeah. Crickets. Either he's depressed, angry, or just doesn't care. Or he's just talking a better game than he's playing. That could be it. I think that's probably the reality. I kind of hope his Troy Trojans play a better game than he does. They are looking for an upset bid against 4th seeded Nebraska today in the round of 64 in the NCAA Men's Tournament. What's interesting is that Troy and Nebraska, neither one of them in the history of their schools have ever won an NCAA tournament game. Oh, a game? Yeah. Not get to a Sweet 16, not get to the final. Neither one of them have ever won a game in the school's history. So history is going to be made in one way or another today. Exactly. And I hope it's Troy. Because I hate Nebraska. That's one of our biggest rivals for Iowa. (48:33) Their corn sucks. Yeah. There you go. They call themselves the corn huskers. Yeah. And they're not even the corn state. Yeah. This is crazy. They're so fake. Yeah. This is wrong. Yeah. This needs to be fixed. That is absolute false identity. Iowa corn is much better. Oh, hell yeah. Okay. All right. Well, there you go. Yeah. Don't don't eat the corn west of the Missouri River. Jeez. If it falls between the Missouri and the Mississippi, they're good. I'm going to start checking the tags on my corn when I buy it. (49:10) Yeah. See where it comes from. Grown in Nebraska. You don't eat it. Unless you want worms. There better be some truth in this corn, in these corn tags. Yeah. State of origin tags. Yeah, exactly. Let's start checking. I might eat Mexican corn before I eat Nebraska corn. That's that. That's that. Oh, no, that's Indian corn with all the colors and everything like that. Yeah. Yeah. But that's about how Nebraska corn tastes. Okay. All right. Well, I'm gonna take your advice on this and stay away from the Nebraska corn. As a corn expert. Okay. Corn connoisseur. Yeah. Uh huh. Yeah. And you would be, you know, from coming from Iowa. Yeah, you would know. So don't mess with the corn. Right. Yeah. By the way, tomorrow, Florida and Alabama play their first round games. Bama, I think And Florida tomorrow night around close to 8 o'clock. (50:04) OK. They will both be tipping off and we're going to carry both of those games play by play over on Sister Station 1037, the ticket. OK, good. And our March Mad Discoverage on 1037, the ticket, sponsored by Dr. Richard Churn and the Hormone Restoration Center in Miramar Beach, as well as Brad Cobble with Resolution of Destined Insurance. So thank you guys for sponsoring those games through March Madness and bringing the Emerald Coast live coverage on the radio. OK. Now, does March Madness go past the end of March? Yeah. Because college athletics has become so commercialized. I mean, that's why you have the college football playoff going until the 20th of January now. And it used to be New Year's Day was the Rose Bowl. (50:52) This is the end of it. This is the mother of all the bowl games. Right. No, the mother of all bowl games has been passed up for three weeks now. I've got to ask, what is the interest after New Year's Day? Because it seems like it really drops off. (51:12) Or does it? Or am I just out of touch? I think if there's a team that you're polling for the interest is still strong. OK. But it does. It just drags on so long. And I kind of wish that we would just start the playoff earlier in the month of December because now that they've got this two-week gap now between the conference championship weekend and the first round, and then you don't even play the second round until New Year's, and then you have the semifinals, and then you've got the championship game. It drags on so long. (51:52) You've got to figure out a way. But now you've got the SEC and the Big Ten that are trying to expand to 24 teams or 16. They just kind of want to add more and more and more. It's just going to make it worse and worse. For the almighty dollar. (52:08) There you go. That's what's driving it. One more tune, then we're saying adios. 400. Double Vision. 100.3 KROCK. (52:24) He's got double vision because he filled out two brackets. One is kind of a gut feel. Pulling some upsets here. And then one that was a little more scientific. (52:40) Following seed lines more so than upsets. I think I've got about an hour and a half to get my bracket done. Because I haven't filled one out yet. You and me both. (52:56) But now I kind of want to. I said yesterday I didn't want to because then I end up cheering for teams that I don't really want to win, but I think they'll win because I want my bracket to be right. I'll do one, but if it's totally busted, that's fine. (53:16) Hold me to it tomorrow. We're going to go in depth and go through it? Yeah, we can do that. We'll figure out how much I suck. Let's just tell everybody, Tom. (53:32) Why not? Just put it all out there. Put your feelings and everything out there for everybody. Just like everybody does on Facebook. There you go. Put it all out there. When you're feeling good, when you're feeling bad and down, we can get you a hug somewhere. (53:52) Now, if I do it through the Hard Rock app, how much would you like to contribute to that? I didn't hear a number. I heard a response. I think I got some change in the floor of my truck. (54:08) That's probably what's about on the floor of my truck. Alright, we're out of time today. The V-Team Morning Show wrapping things up on a Thursday morning. I keep trying to take us backwards, but we want Friday tomorrow. It is Friday Eve. (54:24) It is. And you've already had a day in the middle of the week where you went out and did the St. Paddy's Day stuff, so you're probably off kilter a little bit. Oh, did you really just throw kilt in there on St. Paddy's Day? (54:40) You caught that, huh? Actually, I didn't do that on purpose, but now that you mention it, I'll take credit for it. No pun intended there. I can respect that. I just thought that was one of those make-you-gag-Bobby type of puns. No, I didn't. That wasn't intentional, but I'll take credit. (55:00) So now you've got to regroup again for Friday and start all over again, so your clock's a little off. It is, but I'll probably be glued to watching games all weekend. I do. I really love college football, but I really enjoy March Madness. (55:20) Until my team loses, and then screw it! I'm done! I don't like this sport! They give me an hour, and then I'm watching it again. See, I'm not a big basketball fan, so it means nothing to me. I enjoy college basketball. (55:36) I do not like pros at all, but I enjoy watching college basketball. Now, baseball games. I'm there. I was a Cardinals fan, so I enjoy watching Cardinals games, but just to sit down and watch a baseball game? That's hard for me. (55:52) I have too much of a garbage attention span. Well, yeah. Baseball's a little bit different to sit and watch. I'll be honest, it can get boring sometimes. Some of the stuff, all the strategy and everything like that behind the game, to me, is interesting. (56:12) You're playing chess. Yes. If you have a good pitcher. Right. It's all about pitching matchups. We're going to pitch another show to you tomorrow, and we're out of here. I want to thank Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas in Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable Thursday, and let those brackets not get busted. Cool. See you all tomorrow. I'm Schuyler Blanke. He's Tom Mason. We'll catch you Friday side of things.
