World Kidney Day & Finger Forensics: When Your Hands Reveal More Than Your Browser History

(00:01) Here's today's B Team Redux. There's Judas Priest. He got another thing coming on the classic rock station. 100.3 KROCK. Good morning, Emerald Coast. I hope you're doing well. I'm Schuyler Black. It's the B Team Morning Show on the air everywhere. KROCKFWB.com and of course, the B Team Morning Show brought to you by our friends at Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre as well as Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. It's going to be a soggy day today. A high of 70 degrees. That full forecast coming up in just a little bit. Those of you that may not remember, Bobby Dewrell is going to be on vacation the next couple of weeks and our benchwarmer Tom Mason will be here on the air with me starting at 7 this morning. Now, as we like to get to it in the 6 o'clock hour, we like to talk about the national holidays and today, Thursday, March 12th, is a very important one. (00:56) It's World Kidney Day because apparently, my kidneys need a holiday to do their job while the rest of me keeps trying to ruin them. Yeah, isn't that the truth every time you go to the doctor? World Kidney Day is the annual reminder that your insides are doing unpaid overtime while you're out here treating your body like a rental car with full coverage. (01:16) It's a day to talk about kidney health, hydration, blood pressure, diabetes, screenings, and the boring stuff that keeps you from learning what dialysis smells like at 6 a.m. Ugh. Now, they're small organs with big attitudes. They filter your blood, balance your fluids, and quietly clean up the mess you keep making on purpose. Ahem, bourbon. So, yeah. (01:36) It's absurd. We need a calendar event to remember we own kidneys, but here we are. So, consider this as your official notice before your body starts sending invoices. Yeah, thank you kidneys for doing what you do. Apparently, it's a big holiday today. Kidney Day. Alright, we're the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. Here's ELO. Good morning. (02:00) George Thorogood, gear jammer of the Classic Rock Station 100.3 KROCK. I'm Schuyler Black. This is the B Team Morning Show brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. One of our benchwarmers, Tom Mason, will be joining us here in just a little bit. I want to remind you folks out there to get over to Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre because they've got some concert tickets that you could win to get into an awesome show in Biloxi next month. Styx and Foghat are coming to Biloxi on April 10th, and our friends at Stripes have tickets to get you into the door free of charge and have yourself a good weekend over there. Just stop by Stripes in Navarre and get registered. They've got a registration box right there by the front door, and of course we've got more details on the events tab at thebteamshow.com On the National Day calendar today, it's Girl Scout Day. It's the one holiday where patriotism comes with thin mints, and you still can't say no without feeling like a criminal. (03:04) Man, I love some thin mints. Girl Scout Day is the annual reminder that an army of polite kids in matching vests had better logistics than most governments and a tighter sales funnel than your cousin's business opportunity. You're supposed to celebrate courage, confidence, and character, which is adorable because the real tradition is watching grown adults fold under the pressure of a clipboard, a smile, and the implied threat of disappointment. It's wholesome on paper, slightly feral in practice, and somehow ends with you hiding boxes in the freezer like they're evidence. So mark it on the calendar and act surprised when your willpower gets audited. And that's today, Thursday, March 12th, Girl Scout Cookie Day. Alright, we'll take a break and pay a couple bills. A look at your marine forecast is on the way. Plus, later on in the hour, Dan Diamond's got a look at local news. It's the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. (03:56) Once bitten, twice shy on the Classic Rock Station 100.3 KROCK. It's the B Team Morning Show. I'm Schuyler Black. Thanks for dialing in and spending your Thursday morning with us. Benchwarmer Tom Mason is on his way. He'll be here with us in just a little bit. If you didn't hear yesterday, Bobby is on vacation for the next couple of weeks, so Tom will be sitting in on Bobby's mic while Bobby is going to Greece, of all places. Yeah, he's a chaperone with Liza Jackson School's international trip this year. They're heading to Greece, so they start their first leg of the trip to Atlanta this morning and have a long layover in Atlanta all day today and then this afternoon they'll be on their way over towards I believe Athens. So anyway, hopefully we'll check in with Bobby later in his trip through Zoom and figure out where they've been and what they've seen. (04:56) Now today on the National Day calendar, it's National Milky Way Day because nothing says adulting like celebrating a candy bar named after space while you orbit the break room microwave. National Milky Way Day is that precious moment on the calendar where we all agree the universe is vast, mysterious, and best honored by unwrapping a candy bar in a parking lot like it's spiritual practice. It's not about astronomy. It's about the Milky Way bar, nougat, caramel, chocolate, and the quiet understanding that self-care is sometimes just sugar with better PR. Now people celebrate by buying one, eating one, posting one, and pretending this isn't just corporate romance with a snack aisle. And if that sounds ridiculous, well good, because today is just the opening act and we've got notes. It's National Milky Way Day. (05:48) I'm Schuyler Black. This is the B Team Morning Show. Don't forget, coming up this morning on this show, during the 8 o'clock hour, Connor Brazel from The Edge and the Sky Bar and Destin will be in to talk about some of their March promotions and how they're teaming up with our friends at PAWS for their Cocktail of the Month and talking about other events they've got on the calendar as Spring Break really gets underway here on the Emerald Coast. 38 Special, Hold On Loosely, now on 100.3 KROCK. Pink Floyd and Hey You on the Classic Rock Station, 100.3 KROCK. I'm Schuyler Black. Thanks for dialing in and spending your Thursday morning with us. Don't forget our annual arc of the Emerald Coast Poker Run. Motorcycle Ride is coming up in two weeks on Saturday, March 28th, starting and ending at the Niceville American Legion. It's $15 per rider and $10 per passenger to enter. Of course, cars, Jeeps, convertibles, you're all welcome too. This event raises about $15,000 a year for the arc, so don't miss out. There's going to be dozens of door prizes and drawings, including one for a 2005 Honda Shadow 750 Chopper, so don't miss out on the Ride for the Arc Poker Run, Saturday, March 28th at the Niceville American Legion. (07:04) We've got more details on thebteamshow.com. Just click on that events tab. And of course, thanks to our sponsors, including Eglin Federal Credit Union, Florida Power & Light, and of course, all of us right here at 100.3 KROCK. On the National Day calendar, before Tom Mason gets here at 7, we've got one more day to reveal, and that's today being Popcorn Lovers Day, because nothing says romance like kissing someone who smells like butter and regret in a paper bag. (07:32) Now, Popcorn Lovers Day is that glorious little speed bump on the calendar where grown adults pretend a bowl of exploded corn counts as personality. You show up, you crunch loudly, you argue about butter like it's foreign policy, and you act shocked when the healthy snack turns into salt and fat delivery systems with a side of denial. (07:52) It's not here to fix your life. It's here to remind you that joy is cheap, messy, and gets stuck in your teeth. So stick around, because once people start ranking kernels, the real problems crawl out of the pantry. It's Popcorn Lovers Day. Alright, that's a wrap on today's National Day calendar. Of course, you can find them all on the show notes tab at thebteamshow.com. Our bteamshow.com website is powered by Frank the Bank Bennett and Karen Bennett with Loan Depot, right here in Fort Walton Beach. (08:24) We'll have a look at local news coming up next on 100.3 KROCK. 7 o'clock, side of the fence on a Thursday morning. It is Thursday, isn't it? It is Thursday, yeah. Oh, that doesn't sound like Bobby, huh? No, it sounds like the often imitated, never duplicated Tom Mason. Benchwarmer Deluxe. Yeah, you're starter the next couple weeks. (08:52) Yeah, for a couple weeks. Shoot, that's pressure. No, it's not. It is pressure. I don't know why I need that pressure. One thing I'll take about Tom, when Bobby takes off, it's always nice to see a smile in the morning. I don't get that with Bobby. (09:08) I get pissing and moaning and bitching and groaning. You need to start the day off with the grumpy report. It's nice to start out with a smile. (09:24) Can you train him on that? No. There are some things that starters can learn from benchwarmers. Well, I think you should add the grumpy report to the day. Yeah. (09:40) Ask Uncle Groucho. Grouchy. Yeah, Uncle Grouchy. It's like it gets worse with age. Is he gone yet? I think they're in the air to Atlanta right now. (09:56) I think they were at the airport at 5. So here's how their day looks, I guess. They get to Atlanta, 8 o'clock this morning or something. 7 and a half hour layover. With 30 kids? In an airport? Oh my god. Wow. Holy cow. (10:16) I think late this afternoon they board. I think they go to Athens. I don't exactly know where they fly in. But obviously they're going to Greece. But it'll be literally probably the next 24 hours on an airplane. (10:32) Or at least in an airport and in an airplane. That's brutal, man. Especially on an airline. I've done it in military airplanes, but it's totally different when you're one of the crew. Because you've got the luxury of being able to lay wherever you want and do all that stuff. (10:50) Move around. Exactly. Not on an airline. You're confined to your 7 inch wide seat. One ball stacking on top of the other. Your legs crossed like a lady. Yeah, Bobby's not the smallest guy either. Can you imagine having to sit next to him that long? (11:10) No. God. Just non-stop grump. I hope whoever's sitting next to him brought some B-12. Make him pop one of those every 20 minutes. Yeah. Oh man. We're just going to dog on him the next two minutes. (11:29) Why not? He's not here. What's he going to do about it? Well, it's the way it goes when you leave. That's right. If you're not here to defend yourself, that's your fault. Exactly. Don't blame us. You were the one that wasn't here. (11:44) Yeah, exactly. It's not our fault. We take advantage of the situation while we can. Well, we got some rain last night. You know, it's funny. I woke up this morning going, I need to check the weather and see when it's supposed to rain again. And walked out the door to get in the truck and, well, I guess that was today. (12:00) Yeah, it was today. We've got rain right now, 63 degrees, a high today of 69, 69 tomorrow, and mid-70s for the weekend. But, if we look ahead to the extended forecast, Monday night into Tuesday, cold front returning briefly. (12:20) Highs in the 50s on Tuesday. So, we've got a couple more chilly days. Yeah, just enough to confuse the grass and plants and flowers and all that stuff. But, I'll tell you, man, my yard the last 10-12 days really greened up. (12:35) Really? You know, it does help when you turn the sprinklers back on. I've found that out. Yeah. I was like, man, it's still brown out here. Oh, sprinklers aren't on. Yeah, that might help. (12:50) Now, I actually turned mine off because I realized that we were probably way over watering it. And it's looking better now that they've been off for two weeks. I think this is the first year since we've lived in that house that I've turned my sprinklers off in the wintertime. And my yard looks the worst it's ever looked. (13:07) Really? Yes. Yes. Absolutely the worst it's ever looked. Well, a couple months ago when we were up in Minnesota, we had that cold snap here where we had temps in the 20s for a couple days. And we came back and the damn sprinklers were running the whole time. (13:25) I mean, our yard looked like an ice skating rink. It was like winter wonderland. It was unbelievable. I destroyed some of the bushes in my damn yard. That's the only bad thing about it, but I've wanted to do that so many times. (13:41) You go past those yards that the sprinklers have come on during the night, during those hard freezes, and it's just like a winter palace out there. And I'm like, man, it looks so neat. I want to do that once. Well, it looked neat, and then it destroyed the bushes, and the yard turned brown for a month. (13:58) It looked like hell, but all is good now. All is good now. All right. Stick tight. We're going to have Deputy Mandy George with the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office coming in for an interview here in about 10 minutes, talking to her about the upcoming 5K color run they've got coming up. (14:14) Outstanding. And then next hour, Connor Brezel from The Edge and The Sky Bar are going to be joining us to talk about some of their March promotions and events that they have going on over there on the harbor. Very cool. Stay with us. Schuyler Black and Tom Mason, 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. (14:37) Def Leppard coming up after Van Halen, now on 100.3 KROCK. The Classic Rock Station, 100.3 KROCK. It's the B Team Morning Show. Hope everybody's doing well. We'll check your weather forecast in just a little bit. I'm Schuyler Black. Of course, the B Team Show brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. (14:59) But this morning on the show, we are welcomed by a special guest, Deputy Mandy George with the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office. You're an SRO at one of the local elementary schools. Yes, sir. I work at Longwood Elementary. At Longwood. So you're down to the final days of Longwood. (15:15) It is very sad, but yes. It is sad. So you have to find a different school next year? Hopefully, I'll stay with an elementary school, but we'll see. We'll see. Now, you've been with the Sheriff's Office for how long? About four years now. Okay. And how did you get involved with the Sheriff's Office? (15:30) I started in the Youth Week program that the Sheriff's Office put on the summer camp. And then I went into the Explorers program, and then the Cadet program, and then I became a deputy. All right. Well, congratulations on your young career so far. Things are flourishing for you. And you've been an SRO for how long now? (15:45) This is my second year. Second year. Well, got to find a new school for you. Sadly. But things aren't done at Longwood yet. And coming up here in just a couple of weeks, actually, on Saturday, March 28th, is the 5K Keller Run. (16:00) Yes. That you all are putting together. So tell me a little bit about that event. So it's going to be for the Explorers program, which is for youths aged 14 to 21 and teaches them about Longford. It's going to support the kids. We take them to competition every year. (16:19) And so the money that we get from the run goes straight to the kids, back to the program to take our kids to competition and delegates and get them new gear. Now, how many deputies from the Sheriff's Office are involved in this program? There's five of us. All of us are SROs that run the program. (16:37) We do bring in like outside SRO sources within the agency to come in and teach the kids other things that they're proficient in. We've had our drone team come in. SRT has come in. Dive teams come in. (16:52) And the kids greatly enjoy it. And I'm sure Sheriff Aden comes in to make a celebrity appearance, too. Every so often, once in a while. Well, the event coming up on the 28th is going to be held at the Northwest Florida State College campus here in Fort Walton. Yes, off of Martin Luther King. (17:08) So that event is open to the public. Yes, it's $25 for registration. It's a 5K run or walk, but you don't have to do the whole 5K if you don't want to. You'll get colored chalk thrown on you, but don't worry, it washes out easily. And everybody comes out colorful. (17:25) Yes, it's like a whole rainbow. It's amazing. You get blues and pinks and purples and reds and oranges and everything. This year, we're having purple. Last year, we did not have purple. Oh, okay. There will be two food trucks there, and we'll have some local vendors out as well. (17:40) All right, and registration goes until how long? You can register day of if you want to. Really? Yes, sir. All right, all the way up until the moment before the run starts. You can do it anytime. The flyer is on the Oakley County Sheriff's Office Facebook page. (17:57) There's also an event created on Facebook as well. And how long has this event been going on? This is our third annual one, so it started two years ago. And the last couple of years, how many folks usually participate? Between 75 and 100, it seems like. (18:13) All right, well, hopefully we can grow that number a little bit. I would really hope so. Again, it's all going back to the kids. Yes. It's a great opportunity to get out there and support them. Of course, we've got the link and details to find out more on the event. (18:30) And then contact info to register as well. All on our website at krockfwb.com. But I'm sure you'll be out there. Are you going to be running that day? I actually will be. I'm an avid runner. I do 5Ks just about every weekend. (18:46) Do you really? Yes, sir. What's your daily regimen look like? I don't run every day. But I'll do long runs sometimes, like every other day. And then short runs every other day when I do run. So this will be nothing for you. (19:01) It'll be great. It'll be a lot of fun. But even if you're not a runner, walking is fine too, right? Yes. And it's three or four laps around the campus, so you don't have to do all of them. If you don't want to, you can just come out and get colored powder thrown on you. (19:16) You'll get a t-shirt and a runner's bib. All right. That'll be $25. $25, yes, sir. All right. Again, we've got the details online at krockfwb.com. Just click on the events tab. (19:31) But Deputy Mandy George with the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office, local SRO at Longwood, coming in to talk about the 5K Keller Run here in just a couple of weeks. And I think maybe sometime next week you'll be joining Dan Diamond over on 94.3 FTW. All right. (19:47) Well, I want to thank you for stopping in, talking to me about the event a little bit. We're going to keep promoting it. We're talking about it every single morning. Thank you for having me. I really appreciate that. Hey, absolutely. Anytime. I recorded it to Sheriff Aden and say, look, your deputies are showing you up this morning. (20:05) All right. Stick tight. We're going to take a break. Pay a couple bills. More classic rock is on the way on 100.3 KROCK. Knock, knock, Bobby. We're going to keep dogging you. Yeah. Because he deserves it. This is morning one of, well, almost April. (20:23) Yeah. It just feels like we've got a whole month of Bobby bashing. It does. Yeah. How are we going to do the last Friday of the month? That's what I'm trying to figure out. Okay. Because you all are going to go to Tallahassee this springtime, right? Yeah. (20:39) We're on the fence, but we're planning on going. Because Taylor and I and Bobby are going to head over Thursday after the show. Okay. So I'm trying to figure out how we're going to get this show done on Friday morning. Are you going to come in and run the board? We'll get Jim to come in and do it. (20:54) Oh, God. I think we'll just take the station off the air. We'll call it the Whisper Show. Yeah. There we go. The Whisper Show. Whisper and Jim. Why does he do that? I don't know. I don't know. He's always done that. The mic is off. Yeah. And we're having a normal in-room conversation. (21:12) And as soon as that mic goes hot, it's Jim. Yeah. Jim changes persona. I got stuff to say. Listen. Well, we'd be able to listen if you talk. Crap. Maybe that is his bedroom voice. (21:29) Maybe. Yeah. Pillow talk with Jim. Yeah. It's the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black, Tom Mason on a Thursday morning. Brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi in Mirabar Beach. (21:45) Now, with Bobby being gone, we have got his much better looking but older stepbrother. Yeah. From another mother. From another mother. Coming in to do Ask Uncle Tom. (22:00) It's not advice about what white people shouldn't do. We're going to get to that here in about seven minutes. Yeah. So stay with us. We've got some more stories to get to. By the way, as much as Bobby bitches about Apple products, I've had my iPhone for, well, not the same phone, but I've been using an iPhone for over ten years now. (22:21) Yeah. Right? Yeah. We're going to be talking about eight new emojis. Very cool. In an upcoming iOS update, including one that's already stirring debate online. The new eight emojis include a landslide, a natural disaster symbol showing rocks and debris sliding downhill. (22:40) Okay. Okay. I can see where that would apply to some people. Yeah. Maybe not here. I mean, you have a landslide of three feet of sea level to zero. A trombone. (22:55) Obviously, everybody knows what a trombone is. A distorted face. A warped, exaggerated facial expression that's considered the most controversial addition. Okay. All right. A treasure chest. A cartoon-style chest symbolizing wealth or hidden rewards. (23:10) Okay. A ballet dancer. An orca. An orca. Yeah. A fight cloud. A comic-style dust cloud symbolizing chaos or scuffles. Okay. All right. All right. And then a Bigfoot hairy creature. (23:26) So we're adding Sasquatch to the Apple emojis. Are there pictures out there of these new emojis? There are. There are. Right there. Oh, yeah. There's Sasquatch. Oh, man. That's cool. (23:41) Yeah. Okay. The controversial distorted face. That's the most controversial one. The fight cloud kind of looks like something from Jimmy Neutron. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you might. Yeah. Yeah. Copyright infringement. (23:56) Call it the tussle at Tomcat. Stick tight. We're about six minutes away from Ask Uncle Tom. Stay with us. It's the BT Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. Move to the starting five. (24:12) Well, the starting two. We're not playing basketball, I guess. Did I miss a memo? It is basketball season. March Madness. We've got a bunch of guy conference tournaments this week. Don't forget, we're carrying Alabama and Florida for you on 103.7, the ticket, and Florida State on 94.3 FTW. (24:28) And then for the NCAA tournament, we'll carry those teams as well. Nice. So we'll talk more about that after the brackets released Sunday night. But, you know, Tom and I will have something to chat about on Monday morning. Yeah. But with Bobby out, we have his much better looking, albeit older, stepbrother from another mother, Uncle Tom, to answer the questions that you all submit. (24:56) Right. And, of course, we do this every morning around 745, and it's all stitched together by our friends at Buy Tomcat Custom Apparel. Isn't that amazing? Where the apparel is custom. And I'm going to do that right after this. (25:11) You are. You are. So, Uncle Tom, today you get a question from Lonely at the Cupboard. They say, Dear Uncle Tom, my wife asked me to get her a cup of water. (25:27) Naturally, I retrieved the measuring cup from the cabinet and measured out one cup of tap water and poured it into the pot. I then dried the measuring cup and placed it back in the cupboard. Now, in my mind, it was as clean as it would be if I washed it out with soap and then rinsed it and dried it. (25:45) My wife disagreed and gave me a strong look of disapproval. So, do I give in to my wife or just stick to my guns? Yeah. Welcome to one of marriage's most elite competitions, the measuring cup standoff. (26:00) Technically, you're correct. You measured water, clean, innocent, morally upstanding water. You poured it. You dried the cup. In the sterile courtroom of Bachelor Logic, your actions are airtight. However, you're not living in a courtroom. (26:16) You are living in a shared domestic ecosystem where as clean as, and actually washed, are separated by a chasm filled with the look. That look wasn't about the water. It was about the principle. And in marriage, the principle outranks the physics of water residue every time. (26:35) So, should you stick to your guns? Absolutely. If your long-term goal is to die on Measuring Cup Hill, remember bravely but alone, or you could spend the extra 14 seconds washing it with soap and earn yourself a far greater prize, household peace, and possibly bonus husband points. (26:55) Marriage is less about being right and more about choosing which battles are worth explaining to your friends later. My advice? Wash the cup. Keep your guns for something important like the thermostat. You know, that was actually good advice. (27:10) Why in the hell didn't you teach your younger brother how to give advice? I can't. I can't teach him anything. He's unteachable. He is unteachable. He is absolutely unteachable. Can you imagine being his football coach? He'd be uncoachable. You just want to look at him and go, Shut up. I'm not playing that position. (27:26) I don't like that position. Just shut up and play. Somebody didn't smack him around enough. We can take care of that. All right. Very good, Uncle Tom. Very good. Appreciate the advice this morning. (27:42) Yeah. And we're going to keep doing this, right? We're going to keep doing it. Yeah. All right. Every day? Every day. It's Ask Uncle Tom. Yeah. On the BT Morning Show. All stitched together by our friends at Buy Tomcat Custom Apparel. Where the apparel is custom. (27:58) Love it. Isn't that something? It is. It's amazing how that works out. All right. We're going to take a break. Dan Diamond has local news coming up next. We're minutes away from the 8 o'clock hour. And I believe Connor Brazell from the Edge in the Sky Bar over in the Destin Harbor is going to be joining us on the air next hour to talk about some of their March promotions and events. (28:20) So stay with us. We'll get to that here in just a bit. Right now, local news is next on 100.3 KROCK. Bagpipes. It's actually a great song. It is a great song. Yeah. Are we going to hear any bagpipes on Tuesday? Tuesday? (28:36) St. Patty's Day. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's right. Uh-huh. Could be. Are you going to bring in your bagpipe and wear your kilt? Yeah. It's at the cleaners. Oh, is it? Yeah. It's at the cleaners. Yeah. (28:51) And the bagpipes, too. Oh, really? Yeah. I don't think they'll be done. I don't have time to stop by there between now and then. I was really looking forward to watching Tom blow his bags. Yeah, yeah. You didn't want to say you didn't want to see me in the kilt? (29:07) I wasn't going there. Good. Oh, good morning, everybody. It looks like the rain's finally pushed out of the area, which is good news. Saw a brief ray of sunshine, but now the cloud cover's come back to Fort Walden. (29:22) Overcast skies, 64 right now, 69 this afternoon. About 70 tomorrow, 76 on Saturday. So, we'll check your forecast in just a bit. Scatter Black Tom Mason, the B Team morning show on the air, brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi, Miramar Beach. (29:39) Yeah. Hmm. Well, I've got to give it to Tom. First time we've done Ask Uncle Tom while he's sat in on the show. Yeah. And I think it went really, really well. Yeah. Looking forward to doing that again tomorrow. People calling in left and right saying how much they loved it. (29:56) Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, phone's ringing off the hook, huh? It is. If we had a phone. Yeah, it would be, it would be. I'm sure we are, uh, we're undefeated in hypotheticals this morning. Yeah. Yes. Hey, it's good to be us. (30:13) Top of the mountain right now. That's for sure. You got something for us. I hear I do. I do, you know, and before I start this story, I want to make sure I give a little, uh, safety, safety announcement. Uh, all the guys out there that are driving, don't take your hands off the wheel to, to check your hands because your fingers and your sexuality. (30:37) Uh, that's the title, uh, women with more male hands are more likely to be lesbian while men with more female hands tend to be gay and Tom, Tom, Tom got this article out of a magazine from risque moments. (30:54) Yeah. Am I, my, my daily jaunt in there? Sure. Yeah. A new, you like the backscratchers they sell now? Yeah. They're, they're really handy. The one with the hooks. Yeah. They're Andy. They work really good. (31:09) They got those feathers on them, so they look nice. Yeah. Great. A new study suggests that, that the relative length of a person's index and ring fingers may offer clues about sexual orientation because finger proportions are influenced by hormone exposure in the womb. (31:28) Researchers focused on the digital ratio, 2d, 4d, the difference between the index finger and ring finger, which is thought to reflect prenatal testosterone and estrogen levels. Yeah. So generally men have tend to have shorter index fingers compared with ring fingers while women's fingers are closer in length. (31:50) Wow. So every guy out there is out there looking at his hands right now going, Oh, Hey, can you repeat that? I didn't catch which finger is supposed to be longer. Yeah. In the last 60 seconds, four accidents have happened across Okaloosa County. The only four listeners, right? (32:05) Yeah. Yeah. Well, we have five. We've got five. Yeah. One, one's a shut in. Bobby doesn't count, right? Now one's a shut in. He doesn't drive. Oh, okay. Oh, the stories you find. Yeah. Yeah. That one was interesting. (32:20) Did I have you looking at your fingers this morning? No, I, I, well, I just did it right here on, on air, but no, I purposely avoided looking at my hands. Well, I don't want to know. I don't want to have to go out and buy new clothes, you know, and start this whole new lifestyle and everything like that. (32:41) It's just, I, I just can't, I don't have the time right now. I do know somebody that definitely looked at their hands while they were wearing their salmon pants, Larry hips, Larry hips. Yeah. Okay. He was definitely looking at his hands. Love Larry, but man, he is metrosexual. (32:57) Yeah. Yeah. And he's always looking snazzy in his salmon pants and his salmon pants. Is that the, is that the, uh, is that the giveaway looking snazzy dressing? Well, stuff like that. Well, he, he's always dressed to impress. Okay. Making a fashion statement. (33:13) Okay. Okay. The hair's never out of place. Really? Yeah. That's not me. You haven't noticed that? No. Um, well, yeah, I, I dunno, just never one of those things that stood out with me, but, oh, you'll notice it. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I'll watch Connor Brazil from the edge and the sky bars coming in here just a little bit. (33:33) Tom and I have a few more stories to get to before we boogie on out of here at nine. Yeah. In the meantime, here's the who on KROCK on a, on a Thursday with a special guest, Connor Brazil from the edge of the sky bar. Joining us from over yonder and destined this morning, just a couple of bridges ever good to be back with you guys on the BT morning show. (33:56) Hold on. Let me, let me fix something for you here. Cause I'm right here. This thing on, Hey, there we go. (34:12) There we go. There we go. Hey, right now. Great to be back with you guys. Always an honor. Always fun. So it is, man. I like hanging out with you guys. Oh, I thought he was talking about you. It's there's no chance. (34:29) What are Chris and Heather doing? Um, well, I haven't gotten any texts about what to say yet. So I imagine they're listening. They're listening gladly. So she didn't send you in with any sort of, no, we, so she sent me with some stuff and yeah, but you know, normally I get the text midway through. (34:48) So I think we'll figure out if they're listening or not here pretty soon. Yeah. Not yet. Just, it was just that one time, man, one time, but it's, it's been never going to be from him. No, never. It's a little early, you know, it's a little early anyway. (35:08) Anyway, it's spring break. Yeah, man. It's spring break. We've been rocking since the start of it. The weather's been fantastic out there. Um, you know, I tell people all the time, there's really no better place to grab a beer and, you know, hang out, just, uh, enjoy the, enjoy the atmosphere. (35:23) Our staff does a great job. Um, you know, we're taking care of all these large parties coming in and really just making that experience for these people. They're coming down here. This is, uh, this is their week, you know, they get to hang out at the beach and, you know, the little bit that we can do for their two hours while they're at our restaurant, we try to do that. (35:39) So I got a question. Yeah. So with this influx of spring breakers, what, what tends to be some of the more popular cocktails that they, that they order? Well, I'll tell you, it depends on the conference that they're affiliated with. (35:55) You get the sec, they like vodka crayons for whatever reason, but yeah, it's, I think it's the sorority girls to be honest with you. Um, but yeah, with the college kids coming down on spring break, it's really kind of regional depending on what they drink, you know, back at their college. So, um, you know, back at Iowa, um, they always order the same stuff back down here and, uh, all that. (36:15) So it really does just kind of. Uh, differ with the crowd that we get in. It's kind of fun because everybody makes fun of me. Yeah. But you are from, that's the most popular period. It really is. (36:30) I can, I can attest to that. I've been up there. I drank a lot of Bush light when I was in Iowa. So yeah, I can get behind it. Mike Betzel approached me one day, actually, when we were down at Appalachian pool, and I got a Bush light at the bar down there. She alone or something. (36:46) I said, you must be broke if you're drinking that. No, this is what I like. Good old Bush latte, good old Bush latte. All right. So, uh, yeah. What else you got going on? Yes. So yeah, I was telling you guys about that on the break, but, uh, first Wednesday of every month, we're going to be doing this thing called comedy after dark, uh, presented by Lance Stokes. (37:09) He's kind of the guy that's in charge of it. He hosts and also does a few sets in there, but a lot of great comedians, local all the way from, you know, mobile area. And then we also had some out of towners last time. I think we had a kid from Cal or California that was up on stage. Um, really funny group of guys, uh, really, you know, good time. (37:26) It is adults only it is, you know, it's comedy. So we like to keep that option. Uh, so it's going to be upstairs at the sky bar. That's going to be the first Wednesday of every single month after, uh, Daniel Boone show on Wednesdays. So yeah. Yeah, it's different. Yeah, it's different. (37:42) It's fun. It's, uh, I'm a big comedy guy. Uh, so being able to provide something like this, this is really cool for us. So, yeah. And y'all stay with the same rotation as far as a lot of music. Yeah. So, you know, we got our, uh, we got our standard group of guys that we've had in there. Um, you know, that's going to be Ryan Allen, Daniel Boone, uh, Parker Willingham. (38:01) They're going to play, uh, Monday through Thursdays, Sunday, Fundays, we're still rocking that. That's been about two years strong now, and it's still one of our favorite days of the week. Um, so that's going to be two to 6 PM with saltwater revival, Chris curls and his guys. And then, oh, it's so much fun. (38:17) Uber Uber, but no, Sunday's our favorite day of the week up there. Uh, we also started, uh, this past, uh, off season, we started something called sing along Saturdays. Um, and that's with Ricky Harrison, almost famous eight, five of his guys. (38:36) Um, it's phenomenal. They play a wide range of music, anything from dad rock to. You know, Morgan Wallen, so they got a whole lot of different range in there. They'll play stuff from the seventies all the way up to something that came out last month. Um, so really fun group of guys. (38:52) Uh, and then Friday, Saturday nights, you know, we're really trying to get some big bands in there and we're bringing on some really good entertainment for the season. Um, you know, just getting started. We have a new group debuting on Friday, the dweebs. Uh, so yeah, pretty excited. (39:07) Yeah. So it's going to be their, uh, sky bar debut. Uh, so we're pretty, yeah, we're excited. We're super excited for it. Um, and then, you know, our below Alabama, they're playing, uh, couple of times a month up there. They're our house band now. So yeah, super excited for everything. (39:24) You know, we always provide the best live entertainment on the Harbor. So it's really good. And you said something before we, before we put on air about, uh, the office. Oh, it's not Bobby back. No, you're trying to make me feel my best. (39:42) Yeah. You were talking about, you know, the, the office, uh, for the employees being a part of your party. Yeah. So, you know, kind of what I communicate to the staff is just, there's not. (40:00) That many people in the world that get that office view and if you've ever been up there, you know exactly what I'm talking about. And if you've ever been up there, you know exactly what I'm talking about from sun up to sundown. It's the most gorgeous view on the Dustin Harbor. And so, just kind of for myself as well, take a step back and be grateful and be appreciative of where I get to work and what I get to do and just remind myself, hey, it could always be a little bit worse. (40:26) Yeah, absolutely. And for the people coming in there, I mean, what a great place to sit and watch the sun rise. Exactly. You know, it's a view, it's a spot that, you know, no offense to Iowa, but y'all don't have this stuff in Iowa. I mean, if we're throwing spears, we might as well go big. (40:43) I got a lot of our parties that we haven't tried to get to. There's something to be said for that there. I love a good cornfield. I've only been in a couple of them, but... That's funny. Well, and you're coming into, obviously, a full spring break season right now, a full-on tourist season here in another six-ish weeks. (41:07) Oh, it's started. We're here. I told my staff that the other day. I said, it's summertime. Y'all lock in. Like, it's going to get busy. It's going to continue to get busier and busier. So, it's fun. You've got Selection Sunday coming up this weekend. Troy Trojans, punch their tickets. (41:24) Yeah, made it in. I got the auto bid, went in the Sun Belt the other day, back-to-back, by the way. So, Bobby, if you're listening, go Trojans. I honestly will think that Troy's going to be a 13 or 14 peak that nobody's really going to want to face him. Yeah, don't let us get hot. You know, don't let Scott Cross and the guys get hot. (41:43) It's looking like we're going to play Alabama first round. That's the latest projection that I've been seeing. Wouldn't it? Wouldn't it? Give us a chance. Just give us a chance. Tom's a big fan. Oh, are you? Yeah. Well, War Eagle. (42:02) No. No. No. No. No. No. No. We can say turd on you. Just don't get it first. Gotcha. Gotcha. Well, if you want to check out some of the daily happenings that happen at the Sky Bar, follow them on Facebook. (42:24) Yeah, Facebook. All your events and live entertainment. Yeah, Facebook, Instagram, all that sort of stuff. We're pretty active on social media, so we're always posting what we're doing. And any sort of special events, menu specials, anything like that, we'll also post online. So, definitely a good place to stay plugged in. (42:39) Or better yet, go there. Yeah, come check us out.

We are going to have green beer on Tuesday. And I was going to say a little birdie, but a little leprechaun told me Sunday we're throwing a big little St. Paddy's Day Sunday fun day edition. (42:59) Really? So, yeah. We're partnering with Tealing Whiskey, you know, Bacardi USA, that brand. And they're going to come in and do some stuff with us. We're going to have green tea specials, you know, all sorts of Irish-themed specials going on. (43:14) So, it's going to be a really fun Sunday, a really fun Tuesday. Get everybody in the spirit, even though it's going to be a little cold outside next week. Conor will be in his kilt. Yeah, I've got to go purchase that. I've got to go find the kilt. Tom owns Tomcat Custom Apparel. I mean, he could probably pitch one up real quick. (43:34) We can make one, yeah. We can set you up. I'll wear one. Do what you want to do. Tom, I'll wear one if you wear one. Oh, gosh. The things I do for a sale. You have no pride. No, I don't. I'm easily fined. Well, Conor, it's always good to see you. (43:51) Yeah, good to see you guys, too. Thank you all for having me on and looking forward to the next time. All right. Good. Get ahold of us anytime you want to come in. Yeah, for sure. It's 8.33. We'll take a break. The B Team Morning Show rolls on after this. B Team Morning Show is gathered by Tom Mason, brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. (44:14) Also joined by Conor Breazeal with the Edge in the Sky Bar in Destin. And he decided to stick around for another break. Yeah, traffic's a little rough out there, so I'd rather hang out with you guys. Yeah, that's okay. You're welcome to hang around and stay with us. You all have another promotion that we didn't get the chance to talk about here in the last break. (44:34) Yeah, so we started it just a few months ago. It's called Whiskey & Wine Wednesdays. It's something that we're really happy to be doing. We have one of the best wine lists on the harbor already. That was one of our big calling cards. It's like, we want to do wine, and we want to do it well. (44:50) Yeah. So we decided to partner that. And who loves a good alliteration, right? Whiskey & Wine Wednesdays. Yeah. So it works out. We're able to bring in these nice, high-quality whiskeys like the Eagle Rares, the Colonel E.H. Taylors, Makers 46, Elijah Craig, just to name a few of them. (45:11) And we're bringing those in. And it's an opportunity to come in and try something that you might not have tried before, even if you're a bourbon fan. Sometimes it's like, oh, I've never tried that. I'm not going to go pick it up at the store. Come stop in at the Edge on a Wednesday night. We've got Daniel Boone. (45:27) I love drinking whiskey to Daniel Boone, I'll tell you. It's just a whole atmosphere. And with our Bourbon with the Boys podcast that we do, Tom and I and Bobby and Jim McPherson, the last month we've done Eagle Rare and we've done Colonel Taylors. (45:44) So I love both of those. I might be paying attention to the podcast. Yeah, we'll shoot you a link. We'll shoot you a link. Now we've just got to figure out how to do the podcast from the Sky Bar. That's Bobby's job. Yeah. Yeah. (45:59) We're the talent. He is the engineer. Sometimes he's got to go to work. He thinks he's the talent. Right. He's not. He's just a voice. But Whiskey and Wine Wednesdays. Yeah, Whiskey and Wine Wednesdays. So it's going to be $2 off our selected whiskey and wines for that week. (46:15) I always try to pair red and white together. Those are going to be off our cocktail menu. Or it could be something that I kind of scouted out and found. There are different wine distributors. But it's always going to be something flavorful. Always going to be something really quality. And I try to keep it something you might not have tried before. (46:32) So come in and get that variety. Sounds like a lot of fun. Yeah. Sounds like something we should do. God. One more Thursday when it's going to be hard to get up in the morning. Yeah. When's the next Friday that's a holiday? Friday? (46:47) Friday? That's a holiday? Yeah. That way we didn't have to work the next morning. It doesn't matter. I still got to work. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. That's true. Cat's a pusher. Yeah. It'll get many days off. (47:02) I think Good Friday. Good Friday. Good Friday. I don't know if you want to spend Good Friday hungover. That feels a little blasphemous. It does. Yeah. Yeah. I might get smote. You want to go to the Sky Bar for the last supper? Why not? (47:17) Jesus drank wine. Why not? That's right. I know Jesus. He drank wine. It's okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, don't forget to check out the Edge and the Sky Bar on Facebook for all their happenings. But we wanted to bring them back in for one more break to chat about that a little bit. Yeah. (47:32) Appreciate you guys as always. And y'all come check us out. We're always happy to serve you a plate, serve you a smile. All right. That's fantastic. I like that. Serve you a plate, serve you a smile. It should go on a shirt. It should go on a shirt. It should go on a shirt. Some of these teach Bobby how to smile. (47:49) Here's the Eagles before Tom and I get out of here in about five minutes. 100.3 KROCK. There's the Eagles in the long run on 100.3 KROCK. The long run for us is about over. (48:04) It's close, huh? For today. This one's gone fast. I'm amazed. Usually, it just drags on with Bobby. Being here with you, it's been like bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. What's the difference? Smiles? (48:19) Smiles. Smiles. Oh, yeah. A little raise of positivity around here. Yeah. Just smiles, happiness, joy. Versus dark and stormy. Yeah. Sighs out the wazoo. (48:35) Yeah. Sighs. Sighs. Really? Really? Tom and I just go with the flow, man. Yeah, man. Hey, Connor was great. Yeah, he was great. (48:50) Good guy. Yeah, he is a good guy. Yeah. He is a good guy. Yeah, that was good. Good information. I didn't know about the Wednesday night thing. I'm going to have to go check that out. Well, he learned you. Yeah, he did. Most people do. Yeah, sorry, Connor. (49:06) That ain't really saying a lot. If he taught Tom something, I mean, hell. Yeah. It's pretty easy to do. No, it's me retaining it that's the problem. Yeah. Hey, I do want to say happy anniversary. Mike and Tammy McGee today. (49:22) Oh, is it their anniversary? 49 years of wedded bliss today. Very nice. Wow. 49 years. 49 years. Good on them. Good on them, man. That's awesome. They got married 17 years before I was born. (49:38) Nah, not me. Let's see. Tom would have been about a freshman in high school. Yeah, somewhere around there. What are you, 61? 61, yeah. No, you would have been about a sixth grader, seventh grader, junior high. (49:54) 49 years? Yeah. You would have been about 12. Yeah, about 12, 13 years old. 7th grade, 8th grade, somewhere in there. Hemet Junior High School. That's where I was hanging out. Yes, Tom is our California Lib. (50:09) That's right.
