Tornado Watch to Freeze Warning: The 40‑Degree Plunge That Broke Mother Nature's Brain

(00:01) 100.3 KROCK. It's 73 degrees right now. We've got some thunderstorms popping up around the area. Looks like it could be kind of a stormy morning. In fact, portions of Walton County under a severe thunderstorm warning right now. (00:16) Southeastern portions of Walton County extending down into Bay and Gulf counties as well. Right now there's also a thunderstorm warning to the west of us affecting portions of southern Baldwin County in Alabama, southern Scambia County here in Florida. (00:42) It's going to be a stormy morning as this line of thunderstorms continues to push eastward and then it's going to get cold. What a weird day. Wow. We go from severe thunderstorms and tornado watches that were in effect until 9 o'clock this morning to tonight we go under a freeze warning. (01:03) That's crazy. Tonight from 10 p.m. till 9 a.m. tomorrow morning we are going into a freeze warning with sub-freezing temperatures in the upper 20s to around 32 forecasted overnight. (01:20) Mother Nature's going, watch this. I'm going to do it all in one day. She is psychotic. She is psychotic. I had to laugh because I wore jeans in this morning because I took a peek at the forecast last night and I thought, ooh, I'm not going to get caught by noon. (01:38) I didn't do that. With my little friend stuck in until spring. I thought spring was already here, but no, it's going to go back into hibernation for a few days. We're going to see a temperature drop of 40 plus degrees over the next 12 to 16 hours. (01:54) This is crazy. Tom's wearing his short sleeves and shorts and thinking, yeah, I live in Florida. You said you're going to be cold a little later on and I thought, oh, the studio must be cold. Nope. (02:09) When you walk to your truck at 9 a.m., you're going to think, what the hell happened? We'll get to all that here in just a little bit. We'll keep peeking at the radar. Do you want to read the exciting quip and hook on the National Day calendar today? (02:29) Sure. Hold on before we get to that. It is Monday morning. Back to work we go. We are the B Team Morning Show. We forgot to even say who we were. You've got to announce that. (02:44) Schuyler Blank and Tom Mason brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi. Of course, Tom in again this week for Bobby while he's collecting unemployment. Collecting unemployment. (03:00) That guy. We're really going to bash him today, right? All day? For the next two weeks. Two weeks. That's right. Awesome. Good. Lord Willen and the Creekdale Rise. He's screwed. Sound like a plan? (03:16) Let's do it. Okay. Let's make it another national holiday. Every day. Hate on Bobby Day. Right. The first one we want to talk about this morning. I guess, does it have anything to do with yesterday being Selection Sunday and basketball brackets coming out for the NCAA Tournament? (03:37) We're calling this Dribble to Work Day. Oh, it could. Yeah, that would make sense. I mean, because nothing says productive adult like arriving damp, distracted, and pretending it's a holiday instead of a problem. And you might be arriving to work wet today if these storms push through here in Nevada. (03:53) You might be. Well, Dribble to Work Day is an annual reminder that adulthood is just a costume you put on over a series of bad decisions and questionable hydration. The rules are simple. You dribble to work, water, coffee, whatever keeps your engine running, and pretend it's about wellness instead of the fact that we've all forgotten how to take a normal walk without turning it into a personal brand. (04:17) Offices lean into it like it's team-building commuters stare like they've never seen a grown person lose a fight to a travel mug. And somehow, HR survives another year. It's absurd on purpose, which is the only honest thing about it. (04:34) And we're just getting warmed up. Okay. There you go. All right. It's Dribble to Work Day. Yeah. Now, doesn't that sound fun? Like you said, kind of ironic between yesterday and today. Yes, it is. And it is Monday, so it's very fitting. (04:49) True. Yeah. True. You don't like Mondays? I love Mondays. Do you? Yeah. I don't know why. It seemed like a better response than saying, no, I don't like Mondays. Again, you continue to bring a different energy than Bobby. The hell with Mondays. (05:04) The hell with every day. Bah humbug. Ebeneezer Scrooge. Oh, gosh. Bobbeneezer is what we call him. I like that. Here's Ozzy on the VT Morning Show with 100.3K ride. (05:19) Tom Mason on a Monday getting back into it. Hope everybody's doing well. Right now, here in Destin-Fort Walton Beach, we're at 73 degrees. And we've got thunderstorms that are popping up all around us right now. (05:34) Some moving in from the west. Some are currently off to our east. But keeping an eye on this cell that's moving into Pensacola right now, into western Escambia County. (05:51) A large area, severe thunderstorm warning. And that thing is tracking basically due east right now. So as that approaches Santa Rosa County, a little more in our eliciting area, we'll talk more about that. But we are going to be under a tornado watch this morning until 9 a.m. (06:09) And then tonight, a freeze warning goes into effect at 10. So, psychotic weather in northwest Florida. Just a little bit. All right. Well, as we continue to delve into the National Day calendar on Monday, March 16th, that is St. Patrick's Day Eve. (06:27) Oh, that's right. Tomorrow is St. Paddy's Day. Today is Lips Appreciation Day. Yes, it is. Because apparently we needed a holiday to thank the part of the face that lies, eats, and starts arguments. (06:43) Wow. Yeah. That's one way to say thanks. Yeah. It's that yearly reminder that the two most overworked pieces of face equipment you own deserve a little respect before they crack, chap, and file a formal complaint. (06:59) You're supposed to celebrate with balm, a flattering shade of something you can't pronounce, maybe a photo where you don't look like you're auditioning for a mug shot. It's not about romance. It's about maintenance, hydration, boundaries, and keeping your opinion from escaping unfiltered. (07:16) Stick around, because if you think this holiday's dumb, wait till you hear what people do to honor it. All right. It's Lips Appreciation Day. I'm frantically searching for what they do to honor it. (07:32) Yeah. We can just all use our imagination. We'll just use our imagination. What do you think, Tom? You know, a good roundhouse. Sometimes what you want to do to Bobby, you know. (07:47) Yeah. Yeah. You just wish he didn't even have lips. Just pinch him tight. Clothesline. Just shut your little face, man. He's super glue. Yeah, there you go. Right. Right. (08:02) Hey, he's not here to defend himself, so it's his own fault. I wonder where he is today. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what part of Greece they're in right now. I don't know. There was one leg of the trip where they were actually going to be on a cruise ship for three days. I think that got kinked. (08:18) Oh, did they nix that? Yeah, I think that got kinked because of all the turmoil over there. Yeah. A little bit of a conflict over that direction. Yeah, just a little bit. Across the Mediterranean there. I'm actually surprised they went. Are you? (08:33) Yeah, I am. I'm surprised they went. I'm surprised that whole thing didn't get kinked. But good on them, man. Hopefully they come back and everything's gone well. What an experience. Yeah, they've got another, what, nine days on this trip? (08:51) Something like that, yeah. Yeah. I think the biggest thing I ever had when I was in school was a trip to the zoo. You know? Yeah. And we got to go to the courthouse. Right. Holy cow, this is cool. I felt good when I took my son to Tallahassee to the governor's mansion. (09:10) I'm like, I'm a great dad, man, doing this. This is cool. Yeah. Now people are taking their kids to Greece. Yeah, for a school trip. For a school trip. Right. Twelve-year-olds. Twelve-year-olds. I couldn't imagine walking into my mom and handing her that permission slip and saying, Can I go to Greece? (09:29) Exactly. Exactly. What? Hell no! All right, let's take a break. A look at your marine forecast is coming up. And speaking of lips, the band that had lips in their logo, the Rolling Stones, are on the way at the next set. (09:45) Sweet. All right. Stay with us. It's the B Team Morning Show on the Classic Rock Station. 100.3 KROCK. Jumpin' Jack Flash. It's 6.40 on 100.3 KROCK. You seeing any flashes of lightning out there right now? (10:00) But I do find it interesting that every time we go back on air, I have this horrendous burp that I need to let go. Lean away from the microphone and go... I should just let it go, huh? You should. (10:15) Like a good sneeze? Yeah. That's the effects of live radio, folks. It'll do that to you. When you don't have a dump button or a seven second delay or... Yeah. You know, it's just... It is what it is. This is life. This is the way the human body works. (10:31) And we want to thank our friends at Stripes Pub & Grill. Yeah. And Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi. And Miramar Beach for sponsoring today's belching. And morning show. Well, great people, man. Great people to fess up for this. (10:48) Absolutely. Absolutely. Schuyler Black and Tom Mason on a Monday morning. And, of course, Tom filling in the next couple of weeks while Bobby's doing what he's doing. Yeah. Something ridiculous, I'm sure. I don't really need to talk about him this break, though. (11:03) No? Okay. Good. I'd rather talk about people that just do the right thing. Those kind of people? And that's not Bobby. You did it. Uh-huh. I did. You went there. I did. (11:18) Now, today on the National Day Calendar is Everything You Do Is Right Day. Yeah. Everything You Do Is Right Day. Finally, a holiday that celebrates my natural talent for being correct and everybody else's commitment to coping. That sounds like Bobby. (11:33) It does. Yeah. It certainly does. Fits the bill, huh? God, that sounded exactly like him. I think he went in and edited these. He might have. Yeah, he might have put this one up there on his own. That sounded like you just quoted him right there. (11:50) He is an IT guy. He's got access to stuff. Everything You Do Is Right Day is that magical little holiday where the universe hands you a blank check and says, sure, go ahead, be your own judge, jury, and questionable life coach. (12:07) The rules are simple. Whatever you do today is correct by definition, which is great news for your confidence and terrible news for your decision making. It's not about being right. It's about refusing to be wrong with such commitment that reality gets tired and walks away. (12:23) Treat it like a test run for the kind of person you'd be if consequences took a sick day. Wow. Everything You Do Is Right Day. Yeah. That one hits the nail on the head, right? It does. That stings. (12:38) Yeah. I think you should belt into the microphone. I might. Be careful. Cover your ears. I've only got one more to reveal here around 6.50, and then we're going to get into some stories during the 7 o'clock hour. It's a B Team morning show on 100.3 KROCK. (12:54) Here's Steve Miller. Seeing cars drive up and down Beale Parkway right now and just saw a fire truck go down with its lights and sirens on. Really? Heading north. North, huh? So, if you're heading north on Beale right now, going past Sam's or up towards Kohl's, just heads up. (13:14) You've got a fire truck on your rear here in just a moment. You know, I will say this. In this area, people do not have a lot of respect for emergency vehicles. Yeah. Isn't that annoying? It is. (13:29) It is. You see it all the time. It's like, come on, people. I know. Pull over. It's asinine. And the other thing is, if you pull over, it actually alerts other drivers to kind of look around. Right. You know, it just bothers me. (13:45) Especially when it's an ambulance or something like that. You know, they're trying to get somewhere. Somebody's hurt or something like that. You've got people holding them up that won't get out of the way. And have you seen the people now that ride around with headphones or earbuds in? Oh, yeah. (14:00) That is illegal as hell. Yeah. Right. Right. People do it all the time. They sure do. Yeah. Well, let's not be upset about that. Let's not. Because we're going to fake it until we make it. There we go. Yeah. (14:15) That's right. BT Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. Last holiday to reveal this morning on the National Day calendar for Monday, March 16th. It's Act Happy Day. Act Happy Day. Something Bobby doesn't do, right? No. No. (14:30) But Bobby Ross did. Bob Ross. He did. That's right. Act Happy Day because nothing says joy like scheduled smiling. Congrats. You're one calendar reminder away from being a theme park employee. Fair enough. (14:47) There you go. Something good advice for Bobby, huh? Yeah. Especially on a Monday. He should be listening to us this morning. He should be. He would be much better off. We could cut this out somehow and save it for him. Yeah. I can try to figure that out. (15:02) I'm not the tech guy, though. Act Happy Day is that special little calendar scam where we all agree to wear a grin like it's a required safety vest and pretend everything's fine because the date says so. It's not about being happy. (15:17) It's about performing happy. Smiling through your inbox, your errands, your existing dread, and your cousin's motivational posts like you're auditioning for a commercial you didn't consent to. The rules are simple. Act cheerful. Spread the vibe. (15:32) And if you feel nothing inside, congratulations. You're doing it right. Stick around because this holiday isn't here to fix your life. It's here to see how convincingly you can lie to yourself in public. Yeah. It's like smiling and posing for senior pictures. (15:49) Yeah. Easy to do. It's a few seconds. No, it's not. It's hours. Of hell. You're starting to sound like Bobby. Do you remember doing those? (16:05) Oh, yeah. I mean, how long was your session? I mean, it's been 15 years for me, so it's been... Yeah, it's been like 80 for me. 45 for you. Decades. Yeah, we can actually add this up in decades. Shoot, I don't remember. (16:21) I was probably drinking or something. I have no idea. I don't remember. You were in California. I was. Yeah. Where everybody was just stoned out of their brain, right? Well, nothing's changed. Yeah. Nothing's changed. (16:36) Still the same state. Right. All right, well, it's Act Happy Day. Yeah. So that's what we're going to do. Okay, let's do it. We've got two more hours of bliss on this E-Team morning show. Of pure happiness. That's right. Nothing but happy. Nothing but happy. (16:51) It's Monday, folks, and we love Mondays around here. We do. We're going to give you the greatest Mondays that you've ever seen. The Mondays the likes have never seen. Do I sound like Trump yet? Yeah. It's the greatest Monday ever. That's right. (17:06) We're making Mondays great again. There we go. I think we got something here. I think we do, yeah. All right. 6.56, we'll take a break. On the way, the 7 o'clock hour with a bunch of stories and music on the B Team morning show with 100.3 KROCK. (17:23) Okaloosa Gas and Outcast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Speaking of Miramar Beach, Tom, yeah, we're in the midst of spring break. Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office had a story a little over a week ago about a house party they busted in Destin. (17:45) Right. And Walton County said, well, you know what? You're not going to show us up. We've got one to talk about, too. Hold my beer. Walton County Sheriff's Office 10 hours ago posted on their Facebook page, and I'm going to read this verbatim. Whoever runs their Facebook page is witty and funny. (18:03) Yeah. And it does get a lot of reactions. This one's called Hotty Toddy. Now, for those keeping score, they say over in Destin, LSU took an early lead, but Ole Miss was quick to tie it up on the eviction board. (18:20) A group of spring breakers from Ole Miss were evicted late last night from a rental in Miramar Beach after Walton County Sheriff's Office responded to calls regarding a house party. Now, when deputies arrived on Hollywood Street, they found the inside of the home trashed with beer cans and liquor bottles everywhere. (18:37) By the time everything was cleaned up, it filled more than five garbage cans. Oh, my gosh. George Goldston, 19, an Ole Miss student, was arrested for an open house party and minor in possession of alcohol. (18:53) Nobody inside the home was 21, and the person who rented the property wasn't present. For the past several years, the Walton County Sheriff's Office has worked closely with property management companies to identify rentals where renters turn into rebels during the spring break. (19:08) Rebels. You pick up on that, Ole Miss fans? Whether it's loud parties, property damage, or dangerous behavior, evictions will leave you heading back to the SIP. Without your deposit, no refund. So, here's your friendly reminder, there's no hottie-tottie in a jail lobby. (19:25) Wow. That spring break ended quickly, huh? It sure did. Wow. It sure did. You know, thank God there was no Facebook or phones or anything like that when I was a kid. Oh, well, yeah. You got away with a lot more. Oh, God, yeah. Yeah. (19:40) I never trashed the inside of anybody's house. Nothing like that. But drinking underage was just so much easier to get away with, because you didn't have some 16-year-old kid getting a couple drinks in them and thinking they're cool as hell and then posting something on Snapchat or Instagram or anything like that. (19:59) Yeah, man. Did some really stupid things, I can say that. But see, we'll never know about it because you didn't get busted for it. I know, I know. So I don't know what we want to call this whole Walton County Sheriff versus Okaloosa County Sheriff, LSU, Ole Miss thing. (20:17) It's like the Battle of Lane Kiffin. Well, we need to come up with a scorecard. Yeah. Yeah, OK. Alright, I'm on it. We're going to come up with a scorecard. LSU did score first, and Ole Miss had to hold my beer. Now, do we keep track by the quantity of alcohol that gets poured out or drained, or do we, the number of people that get kicked out of that house? (20:41) You know, I'd rather go with the alcohol abuse. How much are we having to pour out here? It is alcohol abuse. Because I kind of wish the Sheriff's Office would call us. We'd come get it. Yeah, we should have an office for that. Right. Yeah. I mean, we'll pick up the orphans. (20:56) The Office of Alcohol Confiscation. That's right. Can we open that? We can. We can do that. I wonder if we can get the same grants like a Somali daycare. We could certainly try. What the hell, let's give it a shot. (21:12) On the north side of Chock Tahatchie Bay is where the stronger cells seem to be. So, nice Phil Valpie, Eglin Air Force Base. You're all probably seeing thunder and lightning at this point in time. (21:27) Also got a report from Michael Knight, our afternoon guy, that started last week. Yeah. Lives up in Crestview. And Michael texted me, said strong thunderstorms moving into Crestview right now. And in fact, there's a strong cell that's moving eastward right along I-10. (21:44) Okay. So, Crestview folks, heads up. Be safe. Yep. Heads up. It's knocking on your door. Yeah, be safe out there. That's right. That's right. This tornado watch that we are under, or our eliciting area, will expire this morning at 9 p.m. (22:02) before the freeze warning goes into effect tonight at 10 p.m. I just still can't get over that. Yeah, I know it. I know it. And let's see. What's the current temps, Scott? It's at 73 still. Okay. And just remember tonight, 27 degrees. (22:17) That's crazy. I know it. I know it. Let's do it all in one day, man. Uh-huh. Let's do it all in one day. Yeah. Just getting winter and spring out of the way. Mother Nature's doing it, and then we're going to go right into summer. Yeah, let's just get all four seasons in 12 hours. (22:32) Crap. Otherwise, we'll celebrate Halloween again. That's exactly right. That's exactly right. Where's the pumpkins? Yeah. It's a BT Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Tom Mason on a Monday. Hope everybody had a great weekend. Brackets came out last night. (22:48) We'll get to some of that here in just a bit. Of course, we'll ask Uncle Tom for advice at about 25 as well. But you had something you wanted to get to. Oh, yeah. A little story about Amazon. They've rolled out a new sassy mode with Alexa, and not everyone is laughing. (23:03) See, I don't have an Alexa, so I don't know how that works. Oh, yeah. It's actually kind of fun in some cases. We play games sometimes with it. Really? Yeah, you can do trivia games and other things like that. You just tell Alexa. (23:19) We've done a few of them, and it's actually a lot of fun. She'll keep scoring everything. You don't have to work. You don't have to do anything. I heard there's some weirdo lonely men out there that do pillow talk with Alexa. Really? Yeah. I don't know anything about that. Well, the new Alexa or Amazon has announced a revamped AI assistant Alexa last week that has a new sassy mode meant for adults. (23:46) The new mode uses explicit language and may include mature subject matter. The sassy style will help first, but every answer will include wit and roast the user for asking a question. TikTok users have been sharing the results with one person saying they are getting into fights with Alexa after being judged for ordering candy. (24:09) Maybe Alexa is telling you something. Others have said there is enough snark and sass in the world, so they would just like their Alexa to give them the information they want. Amazon said the new Alexa mode will avoid sexual content, hate speech, illegal activities, and personal attacks. (24:28) Oh, so it's not exactly Bobby. No, it's not Bobby. I was going to say, that's just what we need, a Bobby-themed Alexa. Yeah, not quite there yet. No. Don't give him any ideas. (24:44) That's right. Don't give him any ideas, or next thing you know, we'll have a Bobby on. We'll have a Bob Alexa. That's the last thing this world needs. Yes, it does. It's 725. We're going to take a break. We're going to ask Uncle Tom for advice here in just a little bit. (25:01) I thought you did your first two days of advice on Thursday and Friday, and I thought it went over really well. Yeah. A lot of good feedback from all the listeners out there. The websites just are getting overwhelmed. It is. (25:16) Yeah. We hit peak numbers over the weekend. Six. Seven. Seven. Yeah. Except the one complaint is that, man, who's ever writing in these questions is really writing long questions. (25:36) Yeah, yeah. Sometimes they get a little verbose. Yeah. A little long-winded. Yeah. So we'll see what today's has in store. Let's see if we can shorten it up some. 726. Let's take a break. We're the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Tom Mason on a Monday on 100.3 KROCK. (25:53) 100.3 KROCK. Sorry, as the song faded out, I couldn't get Bobby to stop talking. He wouldn't shut up. He did his first check-in with us this morning. Yeah. He felt like he, I don't know, Monday? (26:09) Yeah, I guess. He actually sounded like he was in a pretty good mood. He sounded like he was having fun. Yeah. Act Happy Day. It even works on him. He took the advice. We got to somebody. When are you going to get that guy to take the bait? (26:24) You won the day. You won the day. It actually works. This whole radio thing works. 738 is the time. We've got some sprinkles in Fort Walton right now. Other portions of our listening area dealing with sprinkles and then some. (26:41) We've got a strong cell that's in east Okaloosa County right now. Pushed off to the east of Crestview. Kind of midway between Crestview and Diffuniac. So, if you're in that mossy head area, you're probably dealing with rainy head right now. (26:58) Some pretty bad weather. Now, we've got some light rain across the rest of the listening area at this point in time. A few smaller cells that are off in the gulf right now heading northeast. We might see something from that here in an hour or so. (27:14) But, again, still expecting that tornado watch to expire here later on this morning. And then the freeze warning to come into effect tonight. Okay. But Bobby wanted to call and remind us something that he had sent to us on Saturday morning. (27:32) Speaking of weather. Yeah. So, do you want to elaborate? Well, it sounded like he was having a conversation about the weather with one of the 6th graders on the trip that he's on. Yeah. Yeah. And they were talking about, it said that the weather has been a little warmer than normal. (27:49) And the 6th grader looked at him very matter-of-factly and said, See, the difference is, we have a groundhog. They don't. Even the kids know the groundhog sucks. Yeah. I can only imagine Bobby falling down laughing after hearing something like that from the 6th grader. (28:10) And, of course, the 6th grader looking up going, Hey, this is real stuff, dude. That's like I remember a couple years ago when they were doing their trip over to Italy. Yeah. And they're walking through one of the rural villages that they were visiting up in the mountains. (28:29) And Bobby and Kathy, they've traveled all over the world, right? Yeah. And they are far more sophisticated than I am. Yeah. But it was funny because some of the local shop owners were out along the side of the street greeting people as they were getting ready to open their business for the day. (28:49) And, buongiorno, buongiorno, buongiorno. And Kathy comes up and one of the gentlemen says, buongiorno. And she goes, well, buongiorno. And he says, Alabama? You can't hide it. (29:07) Now, Kathy says it's because she was wearing a Troy shirt that day. Yeah. I don't think Troy's that famous, Kathy. Nope. Nope. That accent is pretty unmistakable. (29:23) Yeah, that's right. It's pretty pronounced. Yeah. Speaking of Troy, they're taking on Nebraska Cornhuskers in the NCAA Tournament on Thursday. It's going to be a good game. Go Trojans. Yeah. All right, Ask Uncle Tom in four minutes after Billy Idol. (29:41) White wedding. Why does the wedding have to be for white people? Go Scatterblack and, yeah, Tom Mason. Yeah. On a Monday. Sitting in for Bobby. That's right. And you also get to sit in for the advice session. Yeah. (29:56) Ask Uncle Tom. Now, it's not really white people. That was just a joke. It's not. Things white guys shouldn't do. Like dance. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, we saw some of that Saturday, huh? We did. And I can't dance. No. For nothing. (30:14) No. Neither can Jim McPherson. The man is all elbows. Yeah, chicken wing Jim. Yeah. You got to give him about six feet of space all the way around. That's right. Yeah. Give him a six foot circumference. Right. Yeah. All right. Well, today, Uncle Tom. Yeah. You get a question in from the Earl of the Chin Forest. Okay. And they write in, Dear Uncle Tom. We're not supposed to start laughing yet. I've been thinking about growing a beard. (30:55) Not a scruffy, forgot to shave during football season situation, but a full, majestic lumberjack meets CEO masterpiece. I picture myself looking rugged yet refined, distinguished, the kind of man who owns at least one flannel shirt and knows how to grill things with confidence. (31:15) My wife, however, gave me a long stare and asked if this was just another phase. She says she likes my face the way it is. I say this phase could be improved with follicles. Do I follow my beard dreams or do I remain clean shaven for marital harmony? Hmm. We have some friends we could direct this to, don't we? We sure could. Yeah. The beard declaration. (31:41) Every husband reaches this crossroads at some point. The moment he looks in the mirror and thinks, you know what this needs? More wilderness. In your mind, this beard will transform you into a hybrid of a mountain man and a boardroom legend. Birds may briefly consider nesting in its early stages. Strangers will nod at you with newfound respect. You will stroke it thoughtfully while making profound statements about lawn care. Unfortunately, your wife is not envisioning distinguished outdoorsman. She is envisioning itchy sandpaper with opinions. (32:18) Here's the reality. Growing a beard is technically your decision. It's your face, your follicles, your follicular freedom. That's a tongue twister. I could have really screwed that up. However, marriage exists in the delicate ecosystem of shared visual experience. While you see rugged sophistication, she may see midlife audition for a craft brewery. The early growth phase will not be majestic. It will be patchy. It will be questionable. It will resemble a raccoon attempting to cling to your jawline. This is the stage where confidence must be high and expectations managed. My advice? Grow it. Announce it like a limited time promotional event. Now introducing seasonal face. Give it 30 days. Water it. Condition it. Whisper encouraging things to the new patchy spots. Strut around like you're auditioning for a beard oil commercial filmed in slow motion. If she still looks at you like you glued hair lint dryer lint to your chin, then you shave it off dramatically and pretend it was all a social experiment. Remember, beards are temporary. Photographic evidence and your wife's memory are forever. I'd just like to thank Mark Grinland for the question this morning. There you go. Don't worry, Mark. Molly still hates your beard. He should have done this a few years ago. All right. It's 749. There's your advice. Earl of the chin for us. There you go. Yeah. From Uncle Tom. Right. We're doing this every morning at 745 right here on The B Team morning show and it's all stitched together by our friends by Tomcat custom apparel. That's right. Yeah. They're closed today. Catch him tomorrow. (34:04) Catch him tomorrow. Right. Corner of Beeland racetrack. Right. Right. Plaza. Right next to sport clips here in Fort Walton Beach. All right. 749 is the time. Dan Diamond has local news coming up next. Maybe Bobby will be a new world man when he comes back from Greece. (34:23) I think he will be. Do you? Yeah. I think he will be. Yeah. He's over there in the land of when you mentioned to George Soros and that group. He'll know how to put a protest together. Yeah. He'll come back. He'll know exactly how to do all that stuff. He'll come back with a new title. Certified protest organizer. Maybe he might even be a paid guy. He might be. He might be a paid protester when he comes back. He'll know how to order pallets of bricks and cinder blocks. Pickaxes to break windows. Molotov cocktails. All that stuff. All of that stuff. He'll know how to light a Tesla dealership on fire. Yeah. He'll come back with a new career. Eight minutes after eight on a Monday morning. Folks, if you're stepping outside right now and you're saying, yeah, it's muggy. It's warm. Well, we were at 73 at 6 a.m. We've dipped down to 65 by nine o'clock this morning. They're saying we'll be at 58. OK. OK. Tonight, lows in the upper 20s. Freeze warning going to be in effect tonight from 10 p.m. until 9 a.m. tomorrow morning. So you make sure you wear your jeans tomorrow morning. I think so. But if you have any sensitive outdoor vegetation plants, make sure you either cover it or bring it inside. I thought we were done with that. You know, I did, too. Yeah. And take it a look, you know, the rest of the work week. So tomorrow a high of 56. Tomorrow night, low of 32. Wow. So if you're going out for St. Paddy's Day, you bundle up. Dress warm. Hat and mask. Just put all that stuff away, man. Yeah. We'll just pretend it's like New Year's or something, you know. Gosh. Wednesday, back in the low 60s. Sunny and 61. And then flirting with the low 70s by Thursday again. OK. OK. This weekend looks great. Yeah. Friday, sunny 76. Saturday, sunny 78. Sunny Sunday an 80. OK. (36:34) So I dig the cooler weather. I mean, to a certain extent, but not cold again. It's just like a 48-hour cold front. Yeah, but not plant-covering weather. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Oh, we're going from, because yesterday was like 77. It was absolutely beautiful. (36:51) Yeah. OK. Let's say we're dipping from 77 to 64. A little easier pill to swallow than, you know, 27. Yeah. I'm not going to get angry about this. I'm not going to let it happen. (37:06) I'm not going Bobby on this. You're not? No, I'm not doing it. You know, I got to say, when we talked to him a half an hour ago. Yeah. That's the happiest I've heard him in a while. He was very happy. He was. Schuyler, I don't want to say this, but maybe I'm the problem. I was putting it together, Tom. You picked up on that. I did. I did. I got it. (37:32) I hate what you're saying. You're staring right back at me. It scares the hell out of me. I hate to bring it up, man. It is what it is. Well, hey, this week we start the NCAA tournament. OK. Yeah. The men's basketball tournament will tip off with the first four in Dayton, Ohio, which will be the play-in games on Tuesday and Wednesday before the full tournament field starts play on Thursday and Friday. (38:02) Now, we had a bunch of regional teams that qualified for the tournament. Of course, one-seeded Florida will face off against the winner of 16th-seeded Prairie View A&M or Lehigh. And of course, Florida will be a very strong favorite in that game. They would likely play. Well, they will play the winner of Clemson or Iowa on a Sunday afternoon in Tampa. (38:30) Other regional teams, Bama qualified as a four-seed. They will take on 13th-seeded Hofstra coming up this week. And of course, as we mentioned last hour, the Troy Trojans qualified as a 13th seed. They will take on fourth-seeded Nebraska in OKC coming up on Thursday morning. (38:52) Best of luck to our area teams. Of course, we're going to carry Florida and Alabama through their tournament run on Sister Station 103.7, the ticket. OK. Good. There you go. All right. We've got a few more stories to get to. It's a final hour. This morning has just flown by. It has. (39:11) Flying by. Yeah. Of course, we want to thank our sponsors, Stripes Pub & Grill in Novar, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. By the way, Stripes has a new sister company in Novar, which is La Sala Events Center. Tom, you guys are actually doing all the apparel for Stripes these days. We are. We're putting a whole new line together for those guys, and it should be coming out here soon. Very cool. Will that be on the TomCat website? (39:41) It'll be on the TomCat website. We'll have pics of it all. Better yet, go out to Stripes and see what they got. Because out at Stripes right now, we've got a registration box for some concert tickets. Sticks and Fog Ahead is going to be in Biloxi next month. (39:58) We've got Some tickets that you could win from Stripes to go to see that show. Very cool. So swing out there, see the apparel, register for some tickets and get a cold beer and some great food. Yeah. Yeah. But the new, the new sister company of Stripes, LaSalle Event Center is going to have another comedy night coming up in early April. (40:18) Okay. So I'll try to get the details on that here and maybe we can chat about that over the next, next couple of weeks. But yeah, that's, uh, that's on the horizon for around the 4th of April, I believe, something like that. Yeah. Yeah. All right. (40:35) ZZ Top on the way. Well, right now, actually, it's the B Team Morning Show on a Monday on 100.3 KROCK. You hear that song? Relaxes you. You look outside the window, cloudy and rainy. (40:51) You want to go home and take a nap. It's just like, God, I just want to go crawl back in bed. It's not like you did anything this weekend, right? No, no, no. Sat around watching the grass grow. Did you? Yeah. Yeah. Pretty much. Well, you did tell me you need to go get it cut. (41:08) I do need to go get it cut. I was actually going to try to do it today. I don't think that's going to happen now. I'd be a little soggy out there. Yeah. Oh, well I've motored in the, I've motored in the rain before. The good news is if you don't cut it today with the cold front, you're not going to have to worry about it grilling anymore until the end of the week. (41:24) So the dandelions are going to fall over. That's right. They're going to collapse. They're going to collapse. We'll check your forecast in just a bit. We are The B Team morning show scattered black and Tom Mason on a Monday morning. It's the 16th of March. We're already, oh my gosh, we've got two weeks left in this quarter. (41:41) Really? And then the first quarter is history. Oh my gosh. Wow. I can't believe that 16th of March already. I know tomorrow's St. Patty's day. Yeah. That part, that is, that's caught me off guard. Did it really? Yeah. I had no idea. (41:56) You know, where you're green tomorrow. Sure. Or, uh, I'm going to have to pinch you. How about we just not and say you did. When we were in Iowa, everybody had these, uh, green shirts that says, you know, kiss me. (42:14) I'm Iowish. Yeah. You think that's cringy? Oh man. You guys in Iowa. We're Iowish. The things you come up with, I wish. Yeah. Well, spend that much time at a cornfield and you'll figure it out too. (42:32) I know. I know. What you got over there? Oh, speaking of corn. Yeah. Yeah. So, um, in your West Yorkshire, England, uh, police officers made a drug bust. Uh, and covered nearly a hundred thousand pounds, a hundred thousand dollars or $1 million, excuse me, worth of narcotics. (42:53) Hmm. Uh, but also along with that, the hall allegedly included over $13,000 in cash, $150,000 worth of Rolex watches and 50 pounds of stolen boxes of cornflakes. What? (43:09) Yeah. Cornflakes? Yeah. I mean, who knew it was a high commodity item? Man, that's the last thing you'd expect. I know narcotics. Uh, you know, I mean, if it was weed, I would say, okay. Yeah. (43:24) That would make sense. Exactly. But cornflakes, cornflakes and narcotics. Have you ever crushed them up and smoked them? You don't know what kind of high you're missing. I don't know what kind of things you're doing in Iowa, but we're not doing that in Florida. (43:40) Yeah. It's called the corn pipe. Oh, that's funny. Yeah. Anyway, no, those, those Brits. Yeah. Yeah. Got to have your cornflakes. That's the last thing you'd think that would go with that. And why would you steal them? (43:57) I know. Yeah. I don't get it. Well, I mean, cornflakes are good. They are good. Are their narcotics good? I guess if you get the munchies, you got a snack, right? We got a little Florida man story here. Okay. The Florida man was arrested after he tried to steal a septic tank on a construction site. (44:18) Security cameras showed the man trying to steal a septic tank with his Toyota Corolla when he couldn't get the tank to fit inside the car. Well, he just decided to flee. The man returned the next night with a rented U-Haul and gotten and got it inside along with $2,500 worth of electrical pipe. (44:36) He covered the U-Haul's license plate and an identification number with tape, but he was later identified from the security footage. He has been charged with grand theft. So because, because nobody knows you're driving to U-Haul. If you cover the license plate. Exactly. (44:52) Doesn't narrow it down at all. Nothing to see here, folks. Nothing to see here. Just this giant U-Haul. No license plate. No license plate. Exactly. But that'll, that'll fool them. Yeah. That'll get them. I wonder if I just changed the name from U-Haul to Me-Haul. (45:08) Let's get the name from U-Haul to Me-Haul. Let's get some paint, some red paint. Yeah. Fix it up. Yeah. Yeah. Just put some newspaper on the side of it. We'll cover it up. What a moron. Something an Iowan would do, right? Well, now clearly it was a Floridian. (45:25) Oh, it was a Florida man. Yeah. Yeah. It was a Florida man. All right. We're going to take a break. We got two more breaks before we're done. Okay. Quick day. Yeah. Yeah. It has been. It's 830. Quick break and look at your forecast. (45:42) It's coming up next on 100.3 KROCK. Fall. This must be what it's like to live in paradise. Welcome to reality. Storms today and below freezing temps tonight. Freezing temperatures tonight. (45:57) Right. Holy smokes. What's, do you know what school is out, uh, out this week? Yeah. Mississippi, right? I guess that makes sense since they ruined their weekend. Yeah. Let's just take a look. Spring break calendar. (46:12) 20, 20, because it was Mississippi this weekend, right? They got, they got, got in trouble. Yeah. Got kicked out of the house. Yeah. Don't, uh, don't have a big party in the house. You're renting. Exactly. A little bit of advice. So far, the Okaloosa County Sheriff's office and the, uh, Walton County Sheriff's office are, uh, really good at, uh, finding these underage house parties and checking you out. (46:37) Yeah. So just a heads up. Don't do anything stupid. Yeah. I can't find it. No. Okay. Well, I'll let you talk about what you wanted to talk about. I got it. I got a little story to talk about. Okay. Uh, Steelman's Steve Steelman. Steve must be a Monday. (46:54) Steven Spielberg has a strong suspicion. We're not alone on earth right now. Uh, he said he believes humans are probably not alone in the universe, which is okay. Uh, speaking at, uh, Essex X S W. He explained that the vast size of space makes it hard for him to accept that earth is the only place with intelligent life, intelligent life. (47:18) Uh, do we, we don't really have that much. There's a few of us. Yeah, not that many. That's a stretch. Uh, while he's never, never personally seen a UFO, he says the idea of extraterrestrial life feels scientifically plausible. (47:36) And that belief continues to shape his films and storytelling. So there you go. I got to agree with him. I think that, uh, somewhere out there, there's gotta be other life besides here. He can't, uh, there's too many, too many other stars and planets and all that stuff out there. (47:53) But, uh, God, I wonder what it's like. That's, that's the, uh, interesting thing. Little green men out there. Yeah. Little green men. Yeah. E.T. They're there somewhere. Somewhere. Yeah. Phone home. E.T. (48:09) Phone home. Yeah. I did find the calendar for spring break. Oh, did you? I did. Okay. So back to that. So let's talk about that. So Alabama, uh, Florida state. Okay. UCF, uh, university of Florida, West Florida, South Florida, Georgia, Southern Georgia state. (48:27) Um, they, they go down alphabetically in, uh, in order and I'm, I'm kind of doing it all South and Midwest cause that's mostly where our tourists come from. Um, Iowa state, Iowa, Northern Iowa, uh, Illinois university, Chicago, Western Illinois, uh, Indiana, Purdue university of Kansas, Kansas state, Kentucky, uh, university of Kentucky, Murray state. (48:57) And there's a lot. So they, so there could be some, some folks down here, kids down here that come from some of the colder states. Uh, Southern Miss. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Um, what was interesting, I think on Friday I was talking to a friend of mine up in Minnesota, Minnesota, and they were talking about, um, snow flurries and stuff like that up there. (49:22) So it's going across the country. Is it Wednesday or Thursday or Friday? One day last week. Yeah. It was, uh, it was an interesting conversation. I'm like, yeah, it's bright and sunny and warm down here. Oh no, actually it was Saturday. I'm sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Saturday. It was nice and warm. I was outside working and I'm talking to him and he's talking about snow and freezing temperatures and everything. (49:42) Well, guess what? We got them. They're coming. Yeah. Thanks for sending it down here. Exactly. Appreciate it. What a guy to call them up and say, thank you. Now, Friday is the first day of spring. Is it? Yeah. Okay. And, um, yeah, it's gonna. (49:59) It's going to come in nice. Sunny and 76. Just survive today, tomorrow, and Wednesday morning. And by Wednesday afternoon, you'll remember that you actually are in the South and not in Canada. Go back to bed. That's my advice. (50:16) Just go back to bed until Wednesday. Take a bottle of NyQuil. We'll see you in two days. It's the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Tom Mason wrapping things up in just a bit. In the meantime, a story about a little lady and her red light. (50:31) Roxanne. Wow. Yeah, but a different red light than Roxanne uses. Good, good. You don't get the same goods or services. I always get ripped off on this stuff. It just doesn't seem fair. (50:47) Tom always gets the short end of the stick. It just doesn't seem fair, man. I know, I know. Wah! I wonder if that'll be the Ask Uncle Tom question tomorrow. It could be. Why do I always get the short end of the stick? Yeah, somebody'll send that in, huh? (51:03) I wonder. I wonder. It's funny how that works. Yeah, from Raw Deal. Yeah, Raw Deal. Okay. I gotta go right. Are we gonna bash Bobby one more time before we're done? (51:18) Well, I wanted to bash Mother Nature real quick. Oh, okay. Well, there you go. So, you were talking about Minnesota. Minnesota, yeah. Minnesota, you know, one of the states up north where it borders Canada, you know? Wisconsin, North Dakota, Michigan, oh, yeah. (51:37) Right now, I just got a text from Michael Knight, our afternoon guy. He's like, you guys know it's snowing in North Mississippi and North Alabama right now. He's right. Is it really? Middle of March and there's snow in North Alabama. Wow, that's amazing. (51:53) What the hell? You know, if I remember back, I don't remember what year it was, but we had a cold snap here that lasted about three days. And if I remember correctly, it was in March. Huh. Yeah. And it was like three solid days of below freezing temperatures. (52:10) It pretty much shut the area down. You know, I guess it's more annoying because it has been so nice the last few weeks. Yeah. Right? So your whole mentality of spring is here. Right. (52:25) Warmer weather is here. Yeah. That's why it's annoying. Yeah. But it is still winter. Well, yeah, for four more days. So four more days. Yeah. The one last gasp here. That's Mother Nature holding on, right? Uh-huh. One more time. (52:40) Well, it sure has been fun to do another B Team Morning Show with Tom. Yeah, it's been a blast. Been a good day. And Bobby. It's been fun. And, Schuyler, I just want you to know. It's been a lot more fun. If you were feeling any insecurities about you being the one, I am having a blast. (53:01) So whatever is rubbing off on Bobby and setting him the wrong way, I'm not getting that. So you don't think it's me, then, do you? I don't think it's you, you know. But I don't know. There is data to support it. Don't trust the data. (53:19) No, it's been fun. Yeah. Two weeks to flatten the curve. Trust the data. Yeah. There's still time to fix this. That's right. That's right. What, you don't care about other people? Yeah. (53:34) All right. We're out of time. I want to thank you all for dialing in and spending this Monday morning with us. And don't forget, it's going to get cold this afternoon. So if you haven't stepped outside yet, grab a jacket. You might not need it at the moment, but you will need it at some point today. (53:50) Below freezing temps tonight. Tomorrow is St. Paddy's Day. We'll talk all about that in the morning. I want to thank our sponsors, Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Enjoy the rest of your Monday, everybody. (54:05) And we'll see you back here tomorrow morning, bright and early at 6 on 100.3 KRIVE. And that's a wrap on today's B Team Redux.
