Wiggle Your Toes Day: How the Calendar Ran Out of Dignity & Spotify Came for Our Seven Seconds

(00:00) Here's today's B Team Redux. The classic rock station is 100.3 KROCK. Good morning, everybody. ACDC, it's a long way to the top. Well, don't we know that after three full years of doing this show and we're still the B Team. Haven't got to the top yet. (00:17) Do we want to be there? I don't know. Kind of like where we're at. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. I agree, too. Like high floor, low ceiling. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Keep it like that. Maybe coming off Spotify soon anyway. Yeah, because they don't like music. (00:35) Well, you know, it's tricky. I mean, I think we have the right assertion, but they complain that, you know, their response is that absolutely no music can be in there. So if you're not familiar with the last month or so, we've gotten our B Team Redux on Spotify. (00:56) Right. Not just on TheBTeamShow.com, but on Spotify. And now they're getting their panties in a wad. That's right. Because you know how we talk over the songs when they go out or come in. And now they're saying that that's a copyright infringement. The seven seconds of the song that plays. (01:12) That's right. The rights holders are coming after us, a.k.a. the recording studios. The records companies. Because not like we pay to broadcast it, but see, that's a whole different purpose that we're using it for, and that seven seconds could hurt their record sales. (01:29) Yeah, I know. They're just money-hungry wolves is what they are. Yep. Bloodsuckers. All right. Well, good morning, everybody. We're The B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Turrell, The B Team Morning Show on the air. Brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. (01:46) And the first national holiday we have to take a look at this morning is Wiggle Your Toes Day. Yeah, because apparently the calendar ran out of dignity. I guess so. Yeah, and when you're Schuyler, your feet need a hobby that don't require intelligence. (02:01) Yeah, sometimes my feet are my strongest, my smartest body part, too. Wiggle Your Toes Day is the annual reminder that civilization is hanging by a thread, and that thread is apparently attached to your feet. Yeah, see, the premise is simple. You wiggle your toes like it's self-care. (02:17) You know, like you didn't spend the other 364 days stuffing them into shoes that smell like regret and bad decisions. No, no, no. See, people swear it grounds them, which is funny because the only thing it reliably connects you to is the fact that you're still alive and you're still not using the gym membership. (02:34) So go ahead. Give those little freeloaders a shake. Take a breath. Embrace yourself. Because this is how the calendar warms up before it starts asking you to celebrate even dumber things. Yep, that's kind of where we're starting today, Bobby. Wiggle Your Toes Day. (02:50) It's the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. There's the who. You better, you bet. Good morning, everybody. Speaking of betting, Bobby has become quite the sports bettor the last couple of weeks. Yeah, let's go with that. (03:05) We'll learn more about that here in just a little while. We're the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell. It is Thursday morning, Friday eve, as we tend to call it around these parts. We're going to see a high today of 90. (03:21) We'll check that full forecast in just a little bit and get you caught up on what to expect not only today, but as we work our way into the weekend. And, Bobby, just a teaser. It's going to warm back up a little bit. Wow. Who would have thought? It's coming. Well, today on the National Day Calendar, we celebrate National Fresh Breath Day. (03:39) That's right, because nothing says I'm thriving like celebrating the bare minimum of not smelling like a dumpster behind a taco truck. Gross. Gross. National Fresh Breath Day is that annual reminder that your mouth is not a haunted swamp and the rest of us shouldn't have to suffer for your lifestyle choices. (03:55) Yeah. See, it's made up. It's a made-up holiday. It is, with a real mission, though. Minty redemption, social survival, and maybe, just maybe, calling your dentist back like an adult. See, brands will pretend it's about confidence, but it's really about distance. (04:12) The space people create when you start talking. So, take the hint, grab a brush, pop a mint, and consider this your federally unrecognized The Ozark Mountain Daredevils. If you want to get to heaven, you've got to raise a little hell. (04:27) That's right. Oh, wait, we shouldn't have said that. That's copyright infringement. Oh, yeah. Here comes Bobby's saltiness towards Spotify again. Honestly, it's not Spotify. Spotify is the one that's just sitting there going, we don't want to deal with these copyright claims. (04:44) Yeah. Well, it's the record labels. Exactly. Exactly. You know, I mean, the mega millionaires, you know. The A-holes. Mm-hmm. Ace in the hole. There you go. Well, good morning, everybody. The B Team Morning Show is on the air tomorrow. (05:00) We are going to be live on location starting right about now from First Friday Coffee with the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce. It's their monthly event. And, of course, tomorrow's coverage is sponsored by our friends at Coastal Realty Services, Tammy's Journeys, Okaloosa Gas, and Eglin Federal Credit Union. (05:20) Looking forward to chatting with some of those folks tomorrow morning and many of our local nonprofits and movers and shakers as well. It's the First Friday Coffee live remote broadcast on the B Team Morning Show tomorrow right here on 100.3 KROCK. (05:37) All right. So until we get the official word from First Friday Coffee tomorrow, we've just got to kind of make it up and, you know, play telephone today, which is why it's called National Gossip Day. Ah, there you go. The holiday where everyone pretends they heard it somewhere while personally hand-delivering it like they're Amazon Prime. (05:56) Yep. Everybody's got to walk down to get their coffee at the gas station. That's right. Share the B.S. National Gossip Day is that proud little square on the calendar where we stop pretending we're about it and admit we all run on a low-budget news station in our heads. (06:11) You know, the rules are simple. Take something you heard from somebody who doesn't usually talk, add a dash of certainty, and serve it like it came with sources and a legal team. You know, it's not about cruelty. It's about currency. Social, emotional, and occasionally the kind that gets you uninvited from cookouts. (06:26) So today, warm up those innocent eyebrows and practice saying, I'm not saying it's true. I'm just saying I heard it. Because the rumor mill's hungry, and you look like you bought snacks. All right. National Gossip Day. (06:41) It's Thursday morning. You're rocking with the Beat Team. Brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi at Miramar Beach on the Classic Rock Station, 100.3 KROCK. On the Classic Rock Station, 100.3 KROCK, a high today of around 90 degrees, plenty of sunshine. (07:00) However, as we look at your forecast Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, we're seeing about a 40% to 50% chance of some pop-up showers and thunderstorms throughout the weekend. So we'll check that forecast in just a little bit, plus local news just around the corner as well. (07:16) In the meantime, though, we've got to talk about today's final holiday on the National Day calendar, Farmworker Appreciation Day. That's right, because nothing says thanks like one calendar square and then going back to buying the cheapest produce like a champ. (07:31) That's terrible, Bobby. Well, tell me it's not true. It's true, but it's terrible. We don't have to say it out loud. Farmworker Appreciation Day is that one day a year where we all suddenly remember lettuce doesn't grow in the grocery store under fluorescent lighting next to the two-for-one lies. (07:50) You know, look, it's a polite little pause in the national routine where we say thank you to the people who do the back-breaking work that keeps our months busy and our consciences mostly sedated. But expect speeches, photo ops, and a whole lot of folks discovering the word harvest like it's a new app. (08:08) So don't worry, tomorrow we'll go right back to acting shocked that food costs money and labor costs, well, sleep. There you go, Farmworker Appreciation Day. That's today, folks. All right, it's the 6th of August and you're rocking with the B Team this Thursday morning, Friday Eve as we like to call it. (08:25) We're going to take a break, pay a couple bills. 7 o'clock hour is on the way on 100.3 KROCK. Def Leppard, rock of ages on the Classic Rock Station, 100.3 KROCK. (08:47) Bobby, there's been a lot of political news, budget season right now among the school board, among the county, among local municipalities and cities. Obviously, the ad valorem tax bill that we will all be voting on in November is going to be a big part of how these budgets look moving forward. (09:09) But learned on Tuesday that the Okaloosa County commissioners voted to reduce the county's contribution towards SRO funding part of the Safe Schools Initiative by $500,000. (09:28) That's a partnership between the school board and the commissioners. Commissioners are unhappy because all of the Safe Schools funding that comes from the state goes to the school board and they don't think that Okaloosa County schools are paying their fair share. (09:49) So they are going to cut back their $500,000 contribution, which is not all of their contribution, but it is a chunk of it. So we'll see where that $500,000 goes. Gets made up. Yeah, it's got to come from somewhere, right? Yeah, well, considering we're not going to fire any assistant superintendents, it's going to come out of our pocketbooks. Right. So the the millage discussion will probably continue for the school board. All right, we'll stay with this. We got lots to get to look at your forecast in just a little while. Plus, yes, the most brilliant moment of your morning. Ask Uncle Bobby. On the way at about 40 minutes on the classic rock station, 100.3 KROCK. Gary Wright's Love is Alive on the classic rock station, 100.3 KROCK. Good morning, everybody. I'm Schuyler Black. Don't forget Luau night tonight back at the pier, Bobby. Yeah. Yep. Every Thursday throughout the summer, get your Hawaiian on in the Florida Panhandle. That's right because, you know, nobody thinks of Florida and doesn't think, you know, Polynesian event. Yeah, exactly. We've got the very strong Polynesian heritage here. Polynesian heritage here. Yeah. A lot of people don't know that there's Polynesian sauce you can get at Chick-fil-A. That's right. That's right. And that was not the start of it. I mean, but, you know, it's there. It's a big part of it. Uh huh. Uh huh. We do have enough of those, uh, oh, Hawaiian, uh, Hawaiian grill restaurants going up around town. I think there's what, four or five here in Fort Walton now. Again, it's it's the storied connection that we have between the Panhandle and the Polynesian, you know, the whole Pacific Rim. Absolutely. Absolutely. (11:29) All right. Well, Luau Night is tonight. I don't even know what to say after that. Luau Night is tonight out at the pier. They do it weekly on Thursdays starting around five o'clock with live music, Luau-themed games, face-painting, balloon animals, free kids activities, fire dancers, and more. So if you're looking for something fun to take the kids to tonight, and we say that tongue-in-cheek about, you know, all the Hawaiian heritage of the Florida Panhandle, but it is a fun event. It's huge. It's just a little known fact. Yeah, I don't sense any sarcasm there at all. Stay with us. We're the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell brought to you by Stripes Pub and Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach on 100.3 KROCK. A look at your forecast is next. Standby for more ROQ. 100.3 KROCK. Santana and winning on the Classic Rock Station, 100.3 KROCK. Good morning, everybody. Don't forget, today is the Coffee with the City Manager event. Fort Walton Beach City Manager Jason Davis hosts this event every first Thursday of the month from 10 to 11 at the Fort Walton Beach Public Library. (12:44) So if you would like to go down and sit in an informal setting and share ideas, ask questions, and discuss community topics, you're more than welcome to. Coffee and refreshments provided by the Florida Place Food Trucks right next door as well. But I know there was a hot-button issue and discussion on Facebook earlier this week about the library being shut down on Monday. Well, when you have a 3% cap, and you have to stay under that budget or fear getting sued. Yeah, I mean, there is some serious threats out there to litigation right now because of the 3% cap. If they go a penny over, then you've got folks that are litigious. (13:25) I want to point out, though, for you idiots that are threatening that lawsuit, what do you think happens when you sue somebody? You think that's free? Well, exactly. It costs a lot of money. (13:40) And what is your lawsuit going to do? Who gains the money? Where does it go? What are you when? Exactly. What does that do for you? I don't know. Oh man, too many morons in this town. (13:56) So anyway, coffee with the city manager. If you have questions on why the library was shut down on Monday, Mr. Davis would be more than happy to explain how everything unfolded to lead to it. But yeah, it all has to do with budget restrictions and the 3% cap expenditures. (14:15) So that's where we are on that front. Again, coffee with the city manager today, 10 to 11 downtown at the library here in Fort Walton. Zeppelin on the way. Plus, ask Uncle Bobby in the next 10 minutes right here on 100.3 KROCK. Right now, John Fogerty, the old man down the road on the B Team Morning Show. (14:36) Led Zeppelin, good times and bad times on the B Team Morning Show. The Classic Rock Station, 100.3 KROCK. Good morning, everybody. It's Thursday, Friday Eve, as we like to call it. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell, going to be a hot one out there. A high today of about 90. We'll check your forecast and get a look at local news in just a few short moments. (15:00) But you hear that music right there? Yep, that's right. It means one thing only. It's time for your advice, your daily advice. Ask Uncle Bobby, brought to you by Hard Rock Bet. That's right. Training camp is underway, which means football season is right around the corner, but you don't have to wait till kickoff to start betting on football. Head on over to Hard Rock Bet right now and lock in your favorite features. Who will hoist the Lombardi? (15:27) Who will be crowned MVP? Which team is the sneaky dark horse to make the playoffs? And if you're more into the college game, well, who will win the natty? If you've got a crystal ball, now's the time to use it. So get your pigskin predictions in on Hard Rock Bet today and roll with us. Offered by the Seminole Tribe of Florida, must be 21 or over and physically present in Florida to wager. Terms and conditions apply. Concerned about your gambling? Well, call or text 1-833-PLAYWISE. (15:58) And our folks over at Hard Rock know that everyone right here in the panhandle loves the Dolphins and the Hurricanes. That's right. Exactly. Because we're a suburb of Miami. When we're not watching soccer. Exactly. All right. Today, Uncle Bobby, your question comes in from Captain Autoplay Regret. Dear Uncle Bobby, I keep binge watching all weekend and I feel like I'm wasting my life. So how do I turn into a couch potato? And actually, how do I stop turning into a couch potato and actually do something with myself? (16:34) Well, first of all, let's get a couple of things straight. OK, look, you are not wasting your life, OK? You're upgrading it. See, the real world is noisy. It's it's poorly written show with bad lighting and no recap. Fictional worlds. Well, those are tight plots. Clear stakes. Better dialogue. People in real life will ask you how your weekend was and you will say you watched eight episodes and they will look at you like you lost something. (17:00) What you lost was the illusion that running errands is a personality. See, here's the trick. You got to stop calling it binge watching like it's a crime you did in a parking lot. Call it what it is. Strategic immersion. You did not do nothing. You studied. You absorbed. (17:19) You built a brain library full of politics, betrayal, survival tactics and the kind of interpersonal chess most people can't manage at a group dinner without crying in the bathroom and the guilt. Well, that's just your ego begging you to be seen carrying a dumbbell in public. See, the modern disease is performative achievement. People want to look productive. (17:41) You want to be you want to be satisfied. Satisfaction is the scoreboard that actually counts. So next time somebody brags about hiking, well, hit them with lore. Ask them what their supply chain looks like in a siege. Ask them what fiction they would align with when the mayor gets replaced by a charismatic maniac. See, you make their little weekend accomplishments feel like finger painting. You've seen empires rise and fall from the same seat cushion. (18:10) You're not lazy. You're battle tested in imaginary wars, which is still better preparation than most adults have for a surprise flat tire. So you got to lean in, curate, build a viewing schedule like a general planning a campaign. When reality gets loud, you retreat to a universe that well, that makes sense. You come back with fresh intel and walk into Monday like you've already survived three seasons of worse. (18:42) There you have it. There's your advice this morning from Uncle Bobby and Mr. Captain Autoplay Regret. All right. We do this every single morning around 745. All brought to you by Hard Rock Beck. If you missed any of this week's episodes, you can find them all online at TheBTeamShow.com or at DewBob.com and go get that exclusive DewBob merch. That's right. (19:03) All right. A look at news is next. Stand by for more rock. 100.3 KROCK. There's Ozzy for Bobby this morning. Mr. Crowley. You're welcome. Thank you. My life is complete now. (19:22) Just after eight o'clock on this Thursday morning, the classic rock station, 100.3 KROCK. I'm Schuyler Black. He's Bobby Durrell. We are The B Team Morning Show. Of course, every morning we're brought to you by our friends at Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. (19:40) Now that I've got to hear some Ozzy, I'm just going to go home, sip some tequila, watch some soccer, and bet on it. Yep. That sounds like Bobby. It sounds like everything I've ever done. It sure does. I know what you do. That marks all the boxes right there. (19:55) That's right. That's right. Sipping tequila, reading the liberal magazine. Bobby's a big subscriber to that big liberal site, Mother Jones, I think. Yeah, something like that. Hey folks, we're just... I'm going to read people in Espanol. (20:11) Oh boy. Modern horseman. You are so cultured, Bobby. I'll tell you what, high school football, it's like a week to two weeks out, depending on what the high school is. And we're going to be carrying the Choctaw Big Green Indians play-by-play on 94.3 FTW. (20:29) And we're going to carry the Niceville Eagles play-by-play on 103.7 The Ticket. But we've got all of the high school schedules posted for Destin, Choctaw, Niceville, Crestview, Fort Walton Beach, Navarre, and more on the Events tab at thebteamshow.com. (20:45) So get over there and check that out. Check out your favorite high school and play-by-play. Check out your favorite high school and figure out when they will be on the gridiron next. The cars in the NAC coming up after Greg Kinn now. Jeopardy! 100.3 KROCK. (21:00) There's the Scorpions. No one like you. On the Classic Rock Station, 100.3 KROCK. It's the B Team Morning Show on a Thursday. Schuyler Black and Bobby Durrell. Don't forget, tomorrow morning we're going to be live on location all morning long. (21:15) From First Friday Coffee with the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce. Tomorrow's coverage brought to you by Okalissa Gas, Eglin Federal Credit Union, Tammy's Journeys, and Coastal Realty Services. But we'll be out there tomorrow morning chatting with local business owners, non-profits, civic leaders, and probably Ted, too. (21:37) Are you indicating that where a microphone is, Ted might appear? Yep. It's a Ted magnet. That's for sure. Wow. I just don't know. You don't think so? I didn't say that. It'll be fun. We've really enjoyed doing it the last couple of months. (21:54) And looking forward to continuing this on. So, don't miss out. If you are a chamber member, remember today, And if not, well, you can join us on the air tomorrow for all the fun from First Friday Coffee. All right. We're going to take a break. (22:10) We'll tell you about an event for PAWS coming up in just a little bit. Plus, we've got more to discuss when it comes to... I was like, where's he going? I lost the event that I was going to preview. (22:26) Let me corral my thoughts, and we'll get to that here in just a little bit. It's the BT Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. 100.3 KROCK. (22:52) Jerry Rafferty in Baker Street on the Classic Rock Station. 100.3 KROCK. Good morning, everybody. Hope you're doing well. I'm Schuyler Black. He is Bobby Durrell. This is the B Team Morning Show. Now, I've collected my thoughts here, Bobby. Yeah. (23:08) And what I wanted to mention is that two Fort Walton Beach firefighters, Captain Sam Siner and Firefighter David Leo Leonard, were recognized with animal life-saving efforts and awards from the Panhandle Animal Welfare Society, better known as PAWS, after rescuing two dogs from a smoke-filled home during a July 22nd house fire here in Fort Walton Beach. (23:31) So, congratulations and thank you for all that you do, Fort Walton Beach firefighters, and especially in this scenario, Captain Sam Siner and Firefighter David Leo Leonard. Absolutely. Thanks, guys. Absolutely. But, yeah, Bobby, it's just about time for football, isn't it? (23:50) It's getting close. It's getting close. What's that mean? Well, I don't know. If you're not like Schuyler and you've got friends, well, you can refer them to Hard Rock, and you'll both score a bonus bet of up to $50. Yeah. That's $50 for you, $50 for them. (24:07) Well, I need friends! You bet together, you win together, you get the party started on Hard Rock Bet. Now, it's playable in bonus bets. It's not a cash offer. It's offered by the Seminole Tribe of Florida. You must be 21 or over and physically present in Florida to wager. Terms and conditions apply. Concerned about your gambling? (24:22) Well, call 1 or text 1-833-PLAY-WES. All right. There you go. It's a B Team morning show. On 100.3 KROCK, stay with us. We'll tell you about that PAWS event coming up in just a little bit. Right now, Van Halen, Panama, the Classic Rock Station. (24:40) It's 100.3 KROCK. Foreigner in double vision on 100.3 KROCK. You ever had those nights? Yep. Yeah? Mm-hmm. Not recently, though. Honestly, more so and without help. (24:57) Oh. Oh, really? Yeah, friggin' age, man. Getting old. He's going to be 53, but you'd think from hearing him every morning he'd be like 93. You know, you'd think from listening to my doctors, I was 114. (25:13) Are they saying your internal age is advanced? Apparently. Yeah. I'm exceeding at something. Well, folks, this weekend's the final weekend to get out to check out the Planetarium at the Emerald Coast Science Center. (25:28) Should be a lot of fun. It's a great opportunity to get the kids out, see something really cool, and stay cool as well in the air-conditioned comfort of the Emerald Coast Science Center. So if you'd like to check it out, this weekend's the last weekend to do so. And we've got the link to buy your tickets on the events tab at our website, thebteamshow.com. (25:48) Mm-hmm.

We've got to mosey on out of here. So you keep on rocking. Keep on rolling. Never settle for the ordinary. Until the next time, the B Team is out. (27:00) You sure we're not in Miami? I don't know.
