Virgin Mary Tattoos & Dead Batteries: When God Smites Your Monday Morning

(00:00) Here's today's B Team Redux. Just don't replace it. There you go. (00:32) There you go. If you're sitting at AutoZone and listening to us this morning, when I come in later today with that dead battery, don't give me that crap again about, well, these batteries don't just die. Who cares? Obviously, they do. Hey, you're listening to the B Team Morning Show right here at 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. (00:50) I'm Bobby Derell. That's Tom Mason sitting over there in the other chair because Schuyler, well, he's off playing hooky again. Left you high and dry. I mean, I tell you what, that boy can find a reason to miss a good day of work. Yeah, he can. He finds it easy to do. (01:06) You're kind of noticing that too, huh? Yeah. It was a great weekend. A little rainy on Saturday. Yeah, a little bit of rain up there. I guess that unfortunately postponed the parade up in Crestview. (01:22) Yeah, that was sad. I was really looking forward to that. But boy, it proved the reason why it should be. They were right, actually. Right, yeah. We're sitting at 68 degrees right now, folks, about a 15% chance of rain. (01:40) High today at 84. Sunny right now. It's a beautiful day. A little humid. Yeah, but it's got to be nice. About 93% humidity sitting out there right now. It's okay. Yeah, that's a little humid. You felt it, though. Sunset today at 7.30. (01:56) Moonrise at 2.27 a.m. And moon set at 2.13. I can't wait to see it. I know, right? Probably going to be up for it. Probably working on a damn battery. Yeah, I'm just going to go to a pedal car. How about that? (02:12) Hey, this is the VT Morning Show brought to you in part by our friends over at Stripes Pub & Grill, Okaloosa Natural Gas, and OutKast Sushi out in Miramar Beach. Thanks, guys, for supporting the show and getting us here. But without further ado, we're just going to play some more music and try to get settled in and figure out where we are today. (02:28) How does that sound, Tom? That sounds good to me. Sounds like a plan? Yeah, we need that. All right, 38th special, Caught Up In You, right here at 100.3 KROCK. Four noon, like it's a career. Gosh, darn it. National Mocotort Day is that annual reminder that we, as a species, looked at coffee and chocolate and said, not enough problems here. (02:50) Let's bake it into a commitment. So it's a holiday for people who want their dessert to taste like an espresso shot wearing a tuxedo and carrying a tiny grudge. Two S's, Bobby, two S's. That's what makes it sweet. (03:06) You don't celebrate it because it matters. You celebrate it because, well, it's Monday and it needs a reason and your willpower already called in sick. So grab a fork, pretend it's just a slice, and with caffeine-flavored righteousness, do the talking. (03:22) Oh, gosh. I wonder if they have a Mocotort over at that place right next to you. Oh, yeah. I'll bet they do. We'll have to see. Mainbrood, that's how I couldn't think of the name of it. I was drawing a blank as well. (03:38) Down there all the time. Yeah, you know the place. Actually, one of my favorites around here. Yeah, right next to byTomCat. We can't say their name. I did. That's enough. That's the free one. (03:54) Oh, folks, it's a morning. That's all I'm going to say. That's what I'm sticking to. It's a morning. But we're here. We got your Marineport report for you right now. And, yeah, that's where all the fun is. (04:10) So stick around. Don't go anywhere. We got more music coming your way after this. Tonight She Comes. I don't think I can say that on the radio. I thought she just didn't live at his house so she was showing up. Sure. (04:26) That's one. You can go with that one, Bobby. That works. That'll keep you out of trouble, that's for sure. That's where I was thinking it was going. Oh, man, talking about Tonight She Comes. Today is... Where are you going to go with this? (04:42) National Twilight Zone Day is where it is, Tom. Yeah, you know where reality takes a smoke break. Common sense gets abducted. Somehow your ex still finds a way to call. Isn't that amazing? National Twilight Zone Day is when we all pretend it's totally normal to celebrate the feeling that reality held together with duct tape and bad intentions. (05:08) Yeah, you tip your hat to Rod Serling, maybe watch an episode where a harmless little choice turns into a full-blown moral car wreck and you realize the scariest monster is still a human with confidence. Am I right? It's my favorite episode, man. (05:24) It's not about aliens or cursed dolls. It's about that quiet moment when your brain goes, Huh, I might be the problem. So stick around because this holiday is a doorway and somebody left it unlocked on purpose. Wishing people into the cornfield. (05:40) All that fun stuff. Love that show. They tried to bring it back a couple times and it just never took. Which is sad because it was really a good show. It was. The one that I always remember when they brought it back was they had the Vietnam vet. (06:02) He comes into the diner and he orders just a scalding hot cup of coffee and he's just sitting there drinking it and they're like, oh, doesn't that burn? He's like, well, I have to stay awake because when I go to sleep, they come for me. And then he ends up falling asleep in the diner and all of a sudden all the Viet Cong are there blowing the place up. (06:22) He was right. That's what he meant. Well, folks, it's been a morning. We still got a couple of holidays to go through. We'll get them through. We'll try to get them all packed in before 7 o'clock because I know it freaks some of you out out there. (06:38) Yeah, it threw me off the first time you did it. I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. What time is it? It is what it is, man. We got a late start this morning. Well, there are rules, Bobby. There are rules and you got to follow the rules. Rules are made to be broken. (06:54) So we go from The Cars with Tonight She Comes to April Wine. Could have been a lady. Could have been. We'll see. 100.3 K Rocky Classic Rock Station. Tom, I tell you, that's where I feel like I am. I'm just ready to burn the damn house down. You're having a day, Bobby. I tell you, it's a Monday. (07:16) Oh, man, it is a Monday in spades. Yeah, it's just one of those things. You hop in the truck, it won't start and immediately your entire day is just blown. Yeah, it's funny how that works. (07:32) I'm just like, you know, like any other day that it could have been a problem, I could go around, but it picked the one day that I'm the busiest. I have the most crap to do. You know, the most things piled up and expectations and it's just not going to work today. (07:48) How's that working for you? Have you ever heard Colonel Ed Hubbard give his perspective speech when he talks about the day he got shot down? Yeah, and he starts it off with, yeah, I got up that morning and I'm getting dressed and walking out. (08:04) It was either the zipper or the button or whatever breaks on his pants and he's like, gosh, darn it, you know, all these things going wrong. Yeah, how many hours later on he gets shot down over Vietnam and suddenly those pants aren't such a big deal. Well, you know what? (08:20) I really hope this truck not starting is the worst part of my day. I'm not I'm not stupid enough to ask what else right? Yeah, no, I'm not there. I'm not. Yeah, I have learned that lesson. Yeah. Oh, speaking about what kind of days it is, you know, here's here's two days, Tom, that I think go hand in hand. Okay, pretty well. Bring it on to it once. Yeah. (08:44) Yeah. Well, I mean, back to back. So okay. Hostess Cupcake Day. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. The one holiday where we celebrate survival by eating a sponge cake with a DUI level frosting to nutrition ratio. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. What's the worst could happen? (09:00) Cancer, right? Yeah. I mean, you know, just diabetic, right? Yeah. What the hell? Yeah. Hostess Cupcake Day is that sacred little pause in the calendar where grown adults pretend a snack cake is a cultural institution and not just sugar wearing a suit. Yeah, you deserve it. It does look like it has a little tie down there. (09:18) Yeah, you buy the shiny box. You nod solemnly at the icing squiggle and like it's craftsmanship and you tell yourself the cream filling counts as self care because the world's on fire and you're doing your part. Yeah. Yeah. It's not about nutrition. It's about nostalgia with a plastic tray and a prayer. And if you listen close just close enough you can hear your dentist revving his new boat motor. (09:42) Eat another one. There you go. You know what? I'm amazed the amount of these that are sponsored by dentist. Yeah. I told my doctor the other day. I said, I tell you what you tell me there's one more thing wrong with me and I see you in another new boat this summer. (09:58) We're going to have a problem. We will have a problem. It's funny how that works, huh? Oh, but it is, folks. So I brought up Hostess Cake Day because it is Eat What You Want Day. Don't they go hand-in-hand? Yeah. Well, you know, apparently we needed a holiday to do the thing we've been doing every night since 2009. That's right. (10:16) Yeah. So Eat What You Want Day is your annual permission slip that you don't need, right? Where everyone pretends the problem was a lack of authorization and not a lifetime of questionable decisions made in drive-thrus and break rooms. You know, the rules are simple. If it fits in your mouth and your conscience is already on vacation, then it counts. (10:36) You know, it's not a holiday so much as a minor held up to a mirror held up to a modern coping mechanism with frosting on it. Yeah, so go ahead. Celebrate. Tomorrow you can go back to being good, which is just dieting with better PR. (10:52) Have another cupcake. That's right. So I brought up it was Hostess Cupcake Day because it's Eat What You Want Day and, well, we want you to eat what you want. Have another cupcake. That's right. I'm not going to say it again. Have another cupcake. Have another cupcake, fatty. (11:09) All right. We've got more coming your way after these quick words, so y'all stick around. There's more here than meets the ear. 100.3k rock. Noise right here. 100.3k rock. The Classic Rock Station. You're listening to the B Team Morning Show with Bobby and Tom, the only Bob and Tom that matter. That's right. Because Schuyler is just, he's playing hooky again. Hey, you know, it seems to be getting to be a habit. Well, you know, here's what I think is funny. Okay. Is, you know, he's out today because he's working. Yeah. You know, he's over calling on a client. Yeah. The casinos. I know. I know where he is. (11:50) Because you have to go there in person to talk to him to get anything. I mean, you can find free nights at the casino by, like, online. Yeah. But he's over there working it. Right. Yeah. Right. Yeah. I'm not buying it. I know. I know. It's so awful shady. So all you guys in Radioland don't see my air quotes when I say working. (12:09) Working so hard. Very shady. So hard. He's just a giver. Yeah. He's just a giver. He had, I saw him, I saw him leaving with rolls of quarters. Yeah, I know. I know. You know, why would somebody take that to a casino? Well, and I can't, I can't imagine that, you know, that Taylor's okay with him over there with those ladies like that. Yeah. Because he said he was going over to hang out with some sluts or something like that. (12:33) Something like that. I heard some words, throw slutches. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not sure. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. You're listening to the BT Morning Show brought to you in part by our friends over at Stripes Pub and Grill, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi out in Miami Beach. It's a wonderful Monday morning. (12:53) Yeah. If you missed the six o'clock hour, we're running a little behind today because, well, my truck decided not to start this morning. So Tom had to come over and pick me up. And now I'm vehicleless. You need to go see Shane. Yeah. You need to go see Shane and get you a battery. (13:11) Yeah. A battery. A battery. A battery. Yeah. I'm on my third battery now. When I replace it this time, I'll be on my third battery. So, yeah. And Schuyler texts me and goes, Matt, I think you might have some electrical problems with that truck. Yeah. No shiitake mushrooms. (13:27) Yeah. Dadgummit. Tell me. Captain Obvious over there. Hey, speaking about oblivious to the world, most new college grads are expecting 80K starting pay. (13:43) Really? Did you see this? Yeah. Really? I'd like 80K. I know, right? Yeah. A new survey says many recent college graduates have much higher salary expectations than what they're likely to earn. Expectations. Yeah. The average new grad believes they'll start out making around $80,000 a year. (13:59) Okay. But the real average starting salary is closer to $56,000. Okay. Yeah. So delusions there. They also found that grads expect to make more than $144,000 within 10 years of graduating, while that typical salary after a decade is actually more around $95,000. (14:15) Yeah. Now, here's what I get. Here's what I love. Education majors showed the biggest gap between expectations and reality. Yeah. Yeah. Many future teachers expect starting pay above $75,000, even though typical starting salaries are under $47,000. (14:30) I was going to say, that's a pretty far stretch there. Oh. Yeah. And here's the one that gets me. Communication and journalism majors, well, they come the closest to estimating accurately. Do they really? Wait. Who'd have thought? (14:46) What? Oh, researchers say many grads believe that they'll outperform their peers with more than half saying, well, you know, I'm smarter or I have stronger work ethic than others. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And at the same time, they also said that they value work-life balance over long working hours. (15:01) Yeah. I don't know how to tell you this, kid. Some of the things we didn't have when we came out, it was like, look, you're going to work and you're going to work. Yeah. Hey, you're only having to work half days. Yeah. That's 12 hours. Everything else, everything else gets pushed aside. (15:17) Right. College graduates still generally earn much more over time than non-graduates, but the job market is tightened in recent years with fewer openings available. Yeah. So there you go. Hey, hey, kids. Good luck. Yeah. Nice and delusional. (15:32) Yeah. Yeah. Real about it. 80,000 a year. Oh, my God. I mean, that's what are you what you got to put the crack pipe down at some point. I mean, it's coming from somewhere. So, you know, and I'm sure they're out there. I know when I know when my son, Andy started working, he he did pretty good for a starting pay, but he was engineer, you know, electrical and, you know, computer hardware and stuff like that. And it was a pretty in demand field at the when he started. (15:59) So, yeah, yeah. And he came out of college doing pretty well. Yeah. And, you know, a lot of those jobs too, though, I feel like, you know, people are spending so much on college and I don't know that we need to send everybody to college. No, I think a vast majority of the I.T. field of what it is in I.T. that we're sending these kids to four years of school for to get degrees. (16:19) We could really send them to a year or two years of trade school. Sure. And that would be there would be much, much better off. Yeah. Financially. And I mean, I don't think it would hurt their earning. Exactly. You know, I think the money's there. You just got you just got to be in the right area again. (16:34) Now, you know, development and some of those things. Yeah, there's there's spaces of that where you need higher math because, you know, you got to you got to know how you're breaking the logic down and stuff like that. But 90 percent of of what's needed in the I.T. field, you don't you don't need that. (16:50) Right. But that's you know, I just I just worked in it. So, well, you know, you end up flooding the market with, you know, bachelor's degree people with bachelor's degrees and stuff like that. So now you got to have a master's or above in order to be, you know, in order to be competitive. And that's that's the bad part, because you you go into a job with, my God, five hundred thousand dollars in debt. (17:11) And it takes a lifetime to get out of. Yeah. You know. Yeah. Yeah, it really does. Yeah. It's I tell you, it's a it's a it's a racket. Yeah, I'll say, you know, colleges are getting too much money these days for tuition. I mean, I have my master's degree, but, you know, hey, I had it paid for by by the company I work for. (17:31) So, yeah, can't can't beat that. I was very fortunate that I didn't have to go into debt for it. Yeah. You know, I look at my doctorate and I'm like, man, it's just going to cost that much money. And yeah, I don't I'm not guaranteed any additional earning power. So why? Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, I mean, although I think Dr. (17:47) Bob has a great ring to it. It does. I think you should go there. I think you should go ahead and assume more. Well, I'm going to tell you right now, if I get my doctorate, I'm going to require everybody to call me doc. I would. It's going to be an expectation. If I spend that much money, that's right. I'm doing it. (18:03) Excuse me. It is Dr. Bobby to you, sir. Even though I'm wearing this pirate costume, that's right. I'm still doctor. That's right. That's still doctor. And I'm a real doctor, too. You're not one of those fake guys that work on you. Yeah. All right. (18:19) We got Queen of Bicycle Race right now. One hundred point three. KROCK the classic rock station. Sticks and crystal ball right there for Tom as he had a little trip down memory lane with that one. (18:35) You know, that one's not not too bad. Most of most of sticks. I'm kind of like it can it can it can stay forgotten. Yeah. You know, I used to be I used to be a big sticks fan. I guess when I was a teenager, it was it was the thing. But over the years, I've kind of gotten especially after getting to know the story of the band and you know, the strife that was between all the all the especially Dennis Young in those. (19:00) I mean, it just seemed like they were always at odds with each other at what they were playing. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Yeah. It most most of sticks. They they tried to do all those tempo changes. Yeah. And they fell in love with the freaking carnival piano. (19:16) And I did that. I mean, that was a big thing. Seventies. And I'm just yeah, it's not my thing. It's just not my thing, man. Oh, you know, we were talking about college grads and what they expect and and their lack of reality. But, hey, you know, there are 20 remote jobs out there that don't require a degree at all and pay surprisingly well. (19:38) Really? Yeah. Can you tell me a few of them? Yeah. So just just taking the taking the top ones off the list here. Client service representative. Okay. Yeah. An average salary of about fifty seven thousand four sixty nine a year. (19:53) Okay. That's above the average digital marketing specialist at fifty eight thousand five twenty seven. And these are starting pay. This is just the average salary for a remote job. So these are remote jobs. You don't have to actually go into work. You sit right there in your bunny slippers and do it. You don't have to have a degree. Operations coordinator, an average salary of $56,372 a year. Recruiting coordinator, right at the same thing, $56,366. Topping the list here, though, is technical support specialist with an average salary of $59,946 a year. Almost $5,000 a month. (20:31) Do they come with the bunny slippers? You probably have to buy your own bunny slippers. Other things in here, virtual assistants, travel agents, translators, social media coordinator. I mean, the list goes on and on. Content moderators. Actually, content moderator is another one that's up at the $59,000 mark. Bookkeeper, appointment scheduler, accounting clerk. I mean, every one of these is over $40,000 a year. Tutor is at $37,000. There you go. Tutor, you don't even have to go into the classroom and make as much as a teacher. (21:06) You have to know things, though. Do you, though? I don't know. He's got to be one chapter ahead of the student. Yeah, that's true. That's true. Just tell them things that you should do this, and maybe, yeah, they'll think you're smart. (21:21) Yeah, yeah. That's the idea. Hey, speaking of smart, we've got Ask Uncle Bobby coming up here in just a couple minutes. What does that have to do with smart? Well, you know, smartest guy you know, Tom. You think? (21:37) I'm just saying. He's quite brilliant. Okay, okay. Yeah, a lot of confidence. Not so much confidence. Confidence over confidence. That's what I always say. That's what I look for. All right. As long as we're being honest here. Doesn't that feel like you're describing millennials and Gen Z right there? (21:55) Yes, it does. Confidence over confidence. Yeah, that's the way I feel. I'm serious. We got to get some of those shirts made. I think they'll sell. You know a guy? I know a guy. I know a guy. I'm going to talk to him. Y'all stick around. We got our weather report coming up right now. We'll be back with I don't know. It looks like Pink Floyd, Van Halen, Brian Adams and more. (22:14) So stick around. Don't go nowhere. That's Van Halen and somebody give me a doctor. And well, we, you know, we were talking about it earlier. It was almost, almost Dr. Uncle Bobby. Yeah, that was some on time button pushing you were doing there, Bobby. I know. I was over here frantically working like I was in a sweatshop. (22:36) Yeah, like you had a job to do. Working like a Haitian refugee over here. Oh, folks, it's, it's that time. It's the best works advice. You never knew you needed. Yeah, right here. It's ask Uncle Bobby on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. Now, if you like Uncle Bobby's advice and you want to find out more, you can always find out everything Uncle Bobby's ever talked about over at do bob.com. That's right. It has a whole list of ask Uncle Bobby's there almost, almost 500 strong right now. Wow. Yeah. You know, when we, when we said let's make this a daily, I thought that was kind of cute. Now I wish we hadn't really done a daily. It could have been a Wednesday night, you know, could have been a once a week thing and probably a little easier, but yeah. Yeah. But ask Uncle Bobby's all right there at do bob.com or you can check out the Facebook, look for, look for do Bob on Facebook. He's always thrown out some advice there. So Tom, of course, as always ask Uncle Bobby's brought to you by our friends over at, byTomCat custom apparel, byTomCat custom apparel is reminding you that it's that time of year. There's church stuff, kid stuff, sports stuff, all kinds of stuff going on. And well, when you want your team to look special, look like they know what they're doing and look professional. Well, then you go talk to byTomCat custom apparel. Now the proud owners of red seventies. That's right. Yeah. There you go. (23:57) So go find them over there at the shops at Wright Plaza, right there on the corner of Beale and racetrack road. Can't miss it right next to sports clips and Hertz rent a car. So you can get a, get a car, get your haircut and a shirt all at the same time. That's right. That's right. And me looking good. That's right. Looking good. Looking good. Tom, Tom, who writes in today? (24:16) Who are we hearing from? Well, Uncle Bobby friendship audit goblin asks, I keep wondering if friendships are actually necessary or if I'm just following what everyone says is normal. Social media makes it look like people have tons of close friends and I do not. (24:32) Should I be putting more effort into maintaining friendships or is it fine to keep my circle very small? Well, listen, first of all, your goblin, you're not broken. Okay. You're just noticing that most people are out there collecting friends, like their reward points. Right. (24:49) And then acting surprised when none of them buy anything. Look, social media is a clown car forced intimacy. All right. Everybody's allegedly the best friends with everybody. Yet somehow they still post vague captions about betrayal. Like it's a full-time career. All right. Friendships are not oxygen. They are luxury items. Nice to have, but if you cannot afford the upkeep, you do not finance a yacht just to prove you can float. Okay. You see what I'm saying? Look, here's, here's your new standard. All right. Friendships are optional and every single one of them is on a probationary contract. If someone wants access to your time, they audition like it's a job interview because it is. All right. You ask yourself simple questions. Do they add value or do they drain you like a phone charger that only works at a weird angle? Do they show up or do they just hover around waiting for free emotional snacks? And you do not let anyone sell you the idea of friendship tokens. You can trade and barter. Nobody is owed your presence because they once liked three photos and sent you a fire emoji in 2019. All right. If your circle is small, good. Small circles are harder to poison and easier to control like a, well, like a little kingdom instead of a public bus station. So cut ties dramatically if you need to, because soft exits, well, they're for people who enjoy explaining themselves. Clean breaks teach the world how to treat you. And it's amazing how quickly that fake friends evaporate when you start subsidizing their laziness. You know, uncle Bobby, sarcasm and snappy attitude is some good advice. I know, right? Yeah. Yeah. I'm telling you, he's got some good advice. And this is, this is good stuff for free folks. I know. You just don't get this anywhere. You just don't buy Tomcat pays for this for you. The money you would have to spend. Yeah, I know. I know. It's like their own little therapy session. All covered and sponsored byTomCat custom apparel. We're happy to help. That's right. Happy to help. That's right. By Tomcat custom apparel, where the custom apparel is made for you. All right. We've got more next, but right now let's take a look at your local news right here on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station, Tom petty. And, uh, and won't back down right here. 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. As we get ready for the eight o'clock hour, wrapping up seven o'clock right now. Hey, Tom, here's an interesting story out there. Okay. (27:16) And I tell you, you know, maybe this, this lady should have lived a different life before she made this decision. You know how many times I've said that? I know, but, but, but here, here we go. Here's the kicker. The woman says that her Virgin Mary tattoo landed her in the hospital with severe complications. Okay. What's God trying to tell you there? I, I got to hear this story. I know, right? Right. A Phoenix woman. Well, there you go. I don't think we need to say any more than that. (27:42) Hey, I lived in Phoenix for a while. So, you know, exactly what I'm talking about. One of my favorite places I ever lived. A Phoenix woman says she ended up in the hospital with a serious skin infection after getting a Virgin Mary tattoo from an artist she found on social media. Now the doctor's diagnosed her with cellulitis, a potentially dangerous bacterial infection that caused swelling, pain, and redness in her leg. She said the tattoo artists appear professional online, but after the session, her leg became badly inflamed and she developed a fever and the infection reportedly got so severe that she needed emergency treatment and IV antibiotics. Look, I'm telling you right there, that is God telling you something lady. (28:21) Health experts in the story warned people to make sure tattoo artists are properly licensed, use sterilized equipment and work in clean environments. They also say to watch for warning signs after getting inked, including redness that spreads, pus, fever, and severe pain. (28:37) I'm telling you, I don't think God wanted you to have the Virgin Mary on your leg. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the story makes it sound like there was something wrong with, you know, the online tattoo artist, but I don't think that had anything to do with it. I think it's the woman. It's just, yeah. (28:53) I mean, let me, let me ask you this, ma'am. When you go to a church and you get sprinkled with holy water, does it burn? Yeah. Yeah. Right. If it does, that's a sign. Yeah.

(29:42) Ah, now when she comes walking over I've been waiting to show her Crimson and clover Over and over What's the idea?

I'm just saying. It's quite brilliant. Okay, okay. (30:46) Yeah, yeah, a lot of confidence. Not so much confidence. Okay. You know, confidence over confidence. That's what I always say. That's what I look for. All right, as long as we're being honest here. Yeah, doesn't that feel like you're describing millennials and Gen Z right there? Yes, it does. (31:01) Confidence over confidence. Yeah. That's the way I feel. I'm serious. We got to get some of those shirts made. Yeah. I think they'll sell. You know a guy? I know a guy. Okay. I know a guy. I'm going to talk to him. All right. Y'all stick around. We got our weather report coming up right now. We'll be back with, I don't know, it looks like Pink Floyd, Van Halen, Bryan Adams and more. (31:20) So stick around. Don't go nowhere. Van Halen and somebody give me a doctor. And well, you know, we were talking about it earlier. It was almost, almost Dr. Uncle Bobby. Yeah. That was some on-time button pushing you were doing there, Bobby. I know. I was over here frantically working like I was in a sweatshop. (31:40) Yeah, like you had a job to do. Working like a Haitian refugee over here. Oh, folks, it's that time. It's the best work advice you never knew you needed. Yeah. Right here. It's Ask Uncle Bobby on 100.3k Rock, the classic rock station. (31:56) Now, if you like Uncle Bobby's advice and you want to find out more, you can always find out everything Uncle Bobby's ever talked about over at DewBob.com. That's right. It has a whole list of Ask Uncle Bobby's there. Almost 500 strong right now. Wow. Yeah. (32:11) You know, when we said, let's make this a daily, I thought that was kind of cute. Now I wish we hadn't really done a daily. Could have been a Wednesday thing. Could have been a once a week thing. Would have been probably a little easier. Yeah. Yeah. But Ask Uncle Bobby's all right there at DewBob.com. (32:27) Or you can check out Facebook. Look for DewBob on Facebook. He's always throwing out some advice there. So, Tom, of course, as always, Ask Uncle Bobby's brought to you by our friends over at Buy Tomcat Custom Apparel. Buy Tomcat Custom Apparel is reminding you that it's that time of year. (32:43) There's church stuff, kid stuff, sports stuff, all kind of stuff going on. And, well, when you want your team to look special, look like they know what they're doing, and look professional, well, then you go talk to Buy Tomcat Custom Apparel. Now the proud owners of red 7Ts. (32:59) That's right. Yeah. There you go. Go find them over there at the shops at Wright Plaza. Right there on the corner of Beale and Racetrack Road. Can't miss it.

Looking good. Looking good. Tom, who writes in today? Who are we hearing from? Well, Uncle Bobby, Friendship Audit Goblin asks, I keep wondering if friendships are actually necessary, or if I'm just following what everybody says is normal. (33:32) Social media makes it look like people have tons of close friends, and I do not. Should I be putting more effort into maintaining friendships, or is it fine to keep my circle very small? Well, listen, first of all here, Goblin, you're not broken, okay? You're just noticing that most people are out there collecting friends like they're reward points, right? (33:53) And then acting surprised when none of them buy anything. Look, social media is a clown car of forced intimacy, all right? Everybody's allegedly best friends with everybody, yet somehow they still post vague captions about betrayal like it's a full-time career, all right? Friendships are not oxygen. (34:09) They are luxury items. Nice to have, but if you cannot afford the upkeep, you do not finance a yacht just to prove you can float, okay? You see what I'm saying? Look, here's your new standard, all right? Friendships are optional, and every single one of them is on a probationary contract. (34:27) If someone wants access to your time, they audition like it's a job interview because it is, all right? You ask yourself simple questions. Do they add value, or do they drain you like a phone charger that only works at a weird angle? Do they show up, or do they just hover around waiting for free emotional snacks? (34:46) And you do not let anyone sell you the idea of friendship tokens you can trade and barter. Nobody is owed your presence because they once liked three photos and sent you a fire emoji in 2019, all right? If your circle is small, good. (35:02) Small circles are harder to poison and easier to control like a, well, like a little kingdom instead of a public bus station. So cut ties dramatically if you need to because soft exits, well, they're for people who enjoy explaining themselves. Clean breaks teach the world how to treat you, and it's amazing how quickly that fake friends evaporate when you start subsidizing their laziness. (35:25) You know, Uncle Bobby? Very good advice. That sarcasm and snappy attitude is some good advice. I know, right? Yeah. Yeah. I'm telling you, he's got some good advice. And this is good stuff for free, folks. I know, right? (35:40) You just don't get this anywhere. You just don't. I mean, BuyTomCat pays for this for you. The money you would have to spend. I know. I know. It's like their own little therapy session, all covered and sponsored byTomCat Custom Apparel. We're happy to help. That's right. Happy to help. That's right. (35:55) BuyTomCat Custom Apparel, where the custom apparel is made for you. Yeah. All right. We've got more next. But right now, let's take a look at your local news. Right here on 100.3 KROCK, the Classic Rock Station. Tom Petty and Won't Back Down. (36:10) Right here, 100.3 KROCK, the Classic Rock Station, as we get ready for the 8 o'clock hour. Wrapping up 7 o'clock right now. Hey, Tom, here's an interesting story out there. Okay. And I tell you, maybe this lady should have lived a different life before she made this decision. (36:26) You know how many times I've said that? I know. But here we go. Here's the kicker. The woman says that her Virgin Mary tattoo landed her in the hospital with severe complications. Okay. What's God trying to tell you there? I've got to hear this story. (36:41) I know, right? Right. A Phoenix woman. Well, there you go. I don't think we need to say any more than that. Hey, I lived in Phoenix for a while. I love that place. So you know exactly what I'm talking about. One of my favorite places I ever lived. Yeah. A Phoenix woman says she ended up in the hospital with a serious skin infection after getting a Virgin Mary tattoo from an artist she found on social media. (37:01) Okay. Now, the doctors diagnosed her with cellulitis, a potentially dangerous bacterial infection that caused swelling, pain, and redness in her leg. She said the tattoo artist appeared professional online, but after the session, her leg became badly inflamed and she developed a fever. And the infection reportedly got so severe that she needed emergency treatment and IV antibiotics. (37:21) Okay. Look, I'm telling you right there, that is God telling you something, lady. Health experts in the story warned people to make sure tattoo artists are properly licensed, use sterilized equipment, and work in clean environments. They also say to watch for warning signs after getting inked, including redness that spreads, pus, fever, and severe pain. (37:40) Okay. I'm telling you, I don't think God wanted you to have the Virgin Mary on your leg. Yeah, yeah. I mean, the story makes it sound like there was something wrong with, you know, the online tattoo artist. I don't think it was. I don't think that had anything to do with it. I think it's the woman. (37:55) It's just. Yeah. I mean, let me ask you this, ma'am. When you go to church and you get sprinkled with holy water, does it burn? Yeah. Right. If it does, that's a sign. That's what I'm saying. Maybe you shouldn't have gotten the Virgin Mary. (38:10) Yeah. I don't know what was wrong with her. She got smote, is what happened. That is a smoting. That is a way to get smote. That smite hurt a little bit. So anyway, yeah, that's one of those stories I couldn't pass up. (38:26) I'm like, oh, wow. You get a Virgin Mary tattoo and then go to the hospital. Yeah. That's a sign. Yeah. From God. Right. All right. We got Crimson and Clover, Joan Jett right here on 100.3 KROCK, the Classic Rock Station. (38:43) That's what he said. Just get you to work on time. Is that what you said? Yeah. Well, that's what you were saying about Kat earlier. No, that's what I was saying about you this morning. Gotta go get Bobby. That is true. That is true. That is true. Hey, you're listening to 100.3 KROCK, the Classic Rock Station. (38:59) It's the B Team Morning Show with Bobby and Tom, the only Bob and Tom that matter. Schuyler, he's off playing hooky again, because that's what this kid does. Well, like we were talking about, having to go to Biloxi. Yeah, I had to go to Biloxi. (39:14) Had to go there and meet with him. Just happened to be casinos there. Yeah. Yeah. Just happened to need to go there Sunday to be there for an early Monday morning meeting. And fruity drinks. Yeah. With umbrellas in them and stuff like that. Yeah. He thinks he's so slick. Yeah. (39:29) He worked it good. We can see right through him. You gotta hand it to him. We can see right through him. Yeah. Yeah. And you're here, stuck on the radio. That's right. Just doing my job, grinding away like Gen X does. Yeah. Stick around, and we get it all done, Tom. Right. (39:44) Boomers are too damn old. You know that. You're a boomer. Wait a minute, I'm a boomer. Yeah, you didn't do so well on being a boomer. You know what? You kind of failed. I guess I'm on that cusp. You know, I'm right at the edge of that boomer. Yeah. Yeah, boomer action. (39:59) Right, yeah, so yeah, well and now we have you know the the half X half Millennial that they're trying to call Xennials. Oh really? Yeah, I don't know about that. I'm just right here It's like me I gotta pick one or the other right, you know There was a there was a great story last week that was talking about how Gen X is probably not gonna make it to the to the c-suite Because boomers are sticking around longer and longer Yeah, and Millennials are coming that by the time that the boomers actually get out of the chair Okay, that people will feel that Gen X is too old to step in because it'll you know, there'll only be just a few years Yeah, so they're no looking at popping over the c-suite into Millennials. So yet again Gen X gets ignored You know, yeah, that's why there's never been a Gen X president, you know why there's never been a Gen X president We would blow everything up, yeah No, he's a boomer, yeah Literally, that's for sure. Who literally a boomer. Yeah Hey, you know speaking of all these fun things Hey I should mention to it is the BT morning show brought to you in part by our friends over at Stripes Pub and Grill Okaloosa gas in now outcast sushi in Miramar Beach Thank you guys for your support and keeping us on the air Uncle Bobby's always brought to you by the one and only by Tom cat. I got Tom of by Tom cat here Yeah, when are we gonna get cat on the air? (41:27) Well, that's a good question as we go to a midday show. Yeah No 6 a.m. Your time. She may be here. She may be the next one to be here. Oh, yeah That's right, that's right. Hey funny story out today You know, we we talked a little bit about the woman that got the Virgin Mary. Okay, and not so well Well, it appears women are getting hurt more in car crashes. Okay. Yeah it says women are significantly more likely than men to be injured in the exact same car crash and Researchers think car safety systems may be part of the problem. Talk to me Yeah Researchers found women face about 1.6 times the injury risk of men in comparable crashes The study says women are especially vulnerable to injuries involving the chest spine arms and legs Older women especially over 50 appeared to face even greater risk one major issue Crash test dummies and safety systems have historically been designed around the average male body Even the female crash dummy is basically just a smaller version of a male dummy and doesn't accurately reflect How most women's bodies are built? (42:37) researchers also found seat belts and airbags may not protect women as effectively especially in passenger seats and things like seat position body size and Even bulky winter jackets can affect how the restraints hit the body during a crash makes sense. There you go Yeah, yeah, so I have a buddy of mine is a firefighter and he talks about one of the most horrific accidents he ever went on was where the It was a younger girl had her feet up on the dashboard and the and the airbags deployed. Yeah. Yeah, that's You know, and I tell I tell my wife all the time. Please don't put your feet up. Yeah, I mean just it's just something that you know Girls like to do when they're sitting in the passenger seat, it's comfortable and stuff like that I'm like, please but but when that airbag blows, oh, yeah, that's a lot of force. That's a ton of force. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah it Yeah, I can I can see it blowing a foot right into your oh through your head Yeah, he said it was one of the most horrific accidents. You ever went on man, man. All right Well, I put a damper on that's right. That's right. So with that let's go into something upbeat like like Billy Squire Lonely is the night. All right. Yeah Right here 100 point 3k rock the classic rock station. Turn it up. Play it loud. We'll be back with more A Little BTO this morning, huh? How about that? Oh, yeah, I'm gonna turn it over drive.

So the guy was close enough with his phone that he could get punched Yeah operating the drone Yeah, not a very smart guy.
