World UFO Day: How a Five-Day Holiday Weekend Turned Fort Walton into a Ghost Town
Description
We celebrated Made in the USA Day by acknowledging that almost nothing actually is, dragged Paul Revere into a riddle about silversmithing, and reminded you that drinking until you pee is the only hydration advice worth following when it's 105 degrees and your city's closed for a five‑day weekend.

Show Notes
Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell kicked off another scorching Thursday morning on 100.3 KROCK, Fort Walton Beach's classic rock station, reminding listeners that City Hall employees are already three days deep into a five-day holiday weekend — which means if you forgot to pay your water bill, you're waiting until Tuesday (or logging in like a functional adult). Meanwhile, we're 48 hours out from America's 250th birthday, and the Emerald Coast is gearing up for fireworks, food trucks, and the kind of patriotic chaos that only comes from celebrating freedom in 105-degree heat. Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre is hosting author John Alvarez on Saturday for a book signing of Walk, Run, Fly Again, the gripping true story of the first U.S. military amputee to return to unrestricted combat flight — a reminder that some folks don't let a missing limb slow them down, while the rest of us struggle to remember where we parked.
Today's National Day calendar was a beautiful disaster of human absurdity. We celebrated World UFO Day (the holiday where grown adults stare at the sky like it owes them money), Freedom from Fear of Speaking Day (for people who need a calendar reminder to stop whispering their own opinions), Made in the USA Day (the one day we pretend we can buy something without a barcode confession from Vietnam), and I Forgot Day (finally, a holiday that rewards negligence with honesty). Bobby delivered his signature sardonic commentary on each, noting that humanity will invent a holiday for anything — especially the possibility that somebody smarter than us took one look at Earth and kept driving. The weather? A relentless 97 degrees with a heat index climbing to 105, so stay hydrated, check on your elderly neighbors, and for the love of God, don't leave your dog outside.
In local news, an 84-year-old Florida man is suing Waffle House because he tripped over a curb while allegedly distracted by promotional signage — a frivolous lawsuit if we've ever seen one, though Bobby did concede that digital billboards increase accident rates by 25% at intersections. Bridgeway Center celebrated Larry McFarland's 40 years of dedicated service (40 years at the same place doing the same thing — that's either commitment or Stockholm syndrome). And over at the University of West Florida, the school is gearing up for its first full season in NCAA Division I athletics, with new age-based eligibility rules making roster management less of a bureaucratic nightmare. The Star Spangled Food Truck Festival kicks off tomorrow night at Destin Commons with live music, 25-plus food trucks, and what they're calling "the Coast's grandest fireworks display" at 9:15 p.m. — a full day early, because apparently we couldn't wait.
Ask Uncle Bobby tackled a question from the Guilty Sidewalk Ghost, who wondered if it's possible to live in a city without contributing to the community. Bobby's answer? Not only possible, but probably the entire point. He delivered a blistering monologue on civic duty as a gateway drug, warning that first they want you to vote, then they want a meeting, and before you know it you're wearing a lanyard at 6:30 a.m. on a Saturday picking up trash like you owe the pavement an apology. The truly sophisticated urban resident, he argued, understands the contract is simple: you exist, you consume, and you do not get drafted. Convert that guilt into leisure immediately — take it for a long walk past a park you will not maintain, a mural you will not fund, and a community board you will never attend. Civic duty? That's just unpaid labor with a cute name.
Bobby's Nearly Impossible Trivia sent listeners scrambling for their phones with a riddle about Paul Revere (worked with silver by daylight, earned fame in one night, carried news instead of a gun). We felt generous and handed out subs from Lenny's Grill and Subs in Mary Esther to both Annie in Crestview and Mike Chauvin coming off the graveyard shift. Both are now qualified for tomorrow's big drawing: a $250-valued picnic for 20 people featuring subs, chips, cookies, drinks, and more. One more qualifier tomorrow, then we draw the winner and send somebody off to celebrate America's birthday in style. Shout-out to Okaloosa Gas and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach for keeping this whole operation afloat. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and remember — the city is a spectator sport. You bought the ticket, enjoy the concessions, and leave before the crowd gets weird.
Transcript
(00:00) 100.3 KROCK, Led Zeppelin and Ramblin' On, just after 6. It's Thursday morning. For many folks out there, they've already started their long holiday weekend. That's true. Including the City of Fort Walton Beach. They are shut down today, tomorrow, and Monday the 6th. (00:33) City employees that are not part of the emergency personnel are enjoying a five-day holiday weekend. If you wanted to pay your water bill today, tomorrow, or Monday, you've got to wait until Tuesday, unless you pay it online. Good morning, everybody. I'm Schuyler Black. (00:54) He is Bobby Dewrell. We are the B Team Morning Show, all brought to you together by our friends at Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. In fact, we've got a guest that's going to be in from Stripes tomorrow, Mr. Rob Reyes, and an author that's going to be doing a book signing at Stripes on Saturday. More on that in just a little bit. So, looking forward to chatting with the author, John Alvarez, on his book. Again, we'll give you details here in just a bit. But it's time to take a look at the first day on our National Day calendar. Bobby, we've got to talk about the fact that it's World UFO Day. Oh, yeah. The one holiday where folks demand proof of aliens and immediately ignore the evidence at their neighbor camp, Park Street. Oh. Well, OK then. (01:44) World UFO Day is that special little date on the calendar where grown adults stare at the sky like it owes them money, hoping a flying saucer swings by and validates every bad decision they've ever made. It's part celebration, part group therapy, part I swear that was a triangle support meeting. Usually it's observed by swapping sightings, arguing about government cover-ups, and pretending grainy footage. It's real. The official vibe is curiosity and wonder. The unofficial vibe is, please, for the love of God, let something smarter than us be in charge. You know, either way, it's a reminder that humanity will invent a holiday for anything. Especially the possibility that somebody out there took one look at Earth and, well, just kept driving. Yeah, I wouldn't blame them if they did, either. It's a B Team morning show. On a Thursday, ACDC on 100.3 KROG. Music from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young this morning. Carry on as we work our way through the 6 o'clock hour. It's the B Team morning show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell. Don't forget, coming up tomorrow morning during the 8 o'clock hour, Rob Reyes, owner of Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, and author John Alvarez will be joining Bobby and I on the air during the 8 o'clock hour. Now, Mr. Alvarez is the author of Walk, Run, Fly Again. It's the gripping true story of U.S. Special Operations pilot John Alvarez, who became the first military amputee to return to unrestricted combat flight. (03:25) So Bobby and I will learn more about his story in the book tomorrow, and he's going to be doing a book signing at Stripes on the 4th of July, Saturday afternoon from 1.30 until 4.00. So, we've got the details online for you at thebteamshow.com. Just click on the events tab. Well, Bobby, as you continue to delve into today's National Day calendar, you said you wanted to talk about this one, Freedom from Fear of Speaking Day. Yeah, it's a holiday for people who need a calendar reminder to stop whispering their own opinions. Freedom from Fear of Speaking Day is that annual group therapy session disguised as a holiday. You know, it's where everybody pretends they're finally going to say what they mean without their throat locking up like a bad transmission. You know, look, the idea is simple. You've got to speak up, take up space, and stop letting your inner critic run your mouth like it pays rent. Now, of course, the universe has a sense of humor, so the same people who fear speaking will pick today to start a podcast, give a toast, or confess a secret in a crowded room like it's a normal Tuesday. And by sundown, half of you will feel liberated. The other half will be Googling how to unsay something, and all of you will swear you learned a lesson. (04:39) You absolutely will not practice tomorrow. Freedom from Fear of Speaking Day. I wonder if George McFly celebrates that one. Quick break and more classic rock is coming up next plus a look at your marine forecast. If you're heading out on the water, it's on the way on 100.3 KROCK. Standby for more rock. 100.3 KROCK. Just like paradise. This must be just like living in paradise. David Lee Roth, the original front man of Van Halen, Just Like Paradise, on the Classic Rock Station, 100.3 KROCK. Good morning, everybody. Hold on, let me try that again. The Classic Rock Station, 100.3 KROCK. Just like Alice would say, just like Alice would say. All right. It is the second day of July. You have 48 hours from America's 250th birthday. Lots of fireworks coming up this weekend. We've got the full listing for you of everything happening across our listening area at thebteamshow.com. Just click on the events tab. But speaking of America, today is Made in the USA Day. That's right. (05:50) It's the one day a year where we celebrate domestic manufacturing by buying a flag, a hot dog, and a shirt made in Vietnam. Gotcha. Hey, look. Made in the USA Day is that proud little holiday where we all pretend we can still buy something without a cargo ship, a barcode confession, or a factory on the other side of the planet doing the heavy lifting. (06:14) It's a celebration of homegrown grit, domestic manufacturing, and the sweet, delusional thrill of paying extra for a sticker that says USA. You know, like it's a moral vitamin. Now people wave flags, companies dust off their most patriotic packaging, and everybody suddenly becomes an amateur supply chain detective with the attention span of a goldfish. It's absurd on purpose, yeah, but you know, that's the point. Because nothing brings a nation together like shopping with feelings. Isn't that the truth though? You're talking about everything you try to buy, and very little you can actually buy that's American made. (06:52) My favorite was the one that I got yesterday that said Echo de China. That's Spanish in China? Well, no, it was apparently mostly made in China, finally assembled in Spain, or in Mexico, and then sent to the States. So we were sending it in the States with a Hispanic label, letting you know it was made in China. Good Lord. And was it patriotic? (07:18) Yeah, of course. Sickening, man. Just sickening. It said U.S.B. Ben Lizzy, jailbreak on the Classic Rock Station 100.3 KROCK. It's the B Team Morning Show on Monday, Thursday. That's right. Coming up during the 8 o'clock hour this morning, Bobby's going to give you another chance to win a sub from Lenny's Grill and Subs in Mary Esther, and qualify to also get into the drawing for a $250 valued picnic to celebrate the Fourth of July with you and, well, 20 of your closest friends. Now that picnic includes subs, chips, cookies, drinks, and more. So be listening during the 8 o'clock hour today for Bobby's Nearly Impossible Trivia Question, and then call in and get yourself a shot at winning food from Lenny's. All right, so how many holidays have we talked about so far? (08:19) I forgot. I forgot. It's also I Forgot Day, Bobby. Oh, yeah, yeah. There you go. Finally a holiday for people who treat responsibilities like spam. Delete, ignore, and swear they never saw it. Yeah, I never got your text. (08:36) That's right. I Forgot Day is the annual civic ceremony where we stop pretending our brains are spreadsheets and admit they're more like a junk drawer where it occasionally catches fire. You celebrate by remembering you forgot something, then immediately forgetting something else because consistency is for people who label their Tupperware. It's the one holiday that rewards negligence with honesty. You miss an appointment, you blank on a birthday, you lose your keys in your hand, and you still somehow end up morally ahead. And don't worry, there's no wrong way to observe it, mainly because nobody can remember the rules. (09:13) You know what, Bobby, if your anniversary was today, you would at least have a pass. No lie. You know, you could say, it's I Forgot Day, so that's not on me. That's not on me. All right, a quick break. Dan Diamond's got local news coming up for you, plus a seven o'clock hour just around the corner. Ask Uncle Bobby coming up in about an hour. So stay with us. (09:31) It's the B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. There's more here than meets the ear. 100.3 KROCK. With Omni Broadcasting News brought to you by McCaskill and Company, I'm Frankie Bennett. (09:48) In Walton County, a massage therapist based in Miramar Beach has been arrested a third time after multiple victims came forward reporting they were inappropriately touched during a massage. 90-year-old Blaine Searcy, owner of Massage Therapy by Blaine, had been arrested in December of 2023 and was arrested again in April of this year for a similar incident. (10:09) Searcy's license has been permanently suspended by the Florida Department of Health, and the Deputy Chief of the Walton County Sheriff's Office states that it's important for the public to know that Blaine Searcy should not be practicing, and if there are any more victims, for them to please come forward. (10:25) Here is your beach safety update. It is a yellow flag day, which means surf conditions are moderate, but always use caution when entering the gulf.

The B Team Morning Show on 100.3 KROCK. (11:55) 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. I want to make mention of this before we take another tongue-lashing from Pittsburgh. Last night, the U.S. soccer team in the World Cup took down Bosnia 2-0. (12:12) Yep, stars and stripes. Moving on to the next round in L.A. 76 degrees, fair skies, a high today of 97. It is going to be another scorcher. (12:27) Heat index values up to 105. Tonight, Bobby, we will cool down to a comfortable 77 overnight. Tomorrow, the 3rd of July, sunny and hot. High of 97 again. Heat index values as high as 105 again. (12:45) On the 4th of July, on Saturday, sunshine and 96. Going to be a hot start here. Obviously, into the month of July like it rounded out the end of June. Through the holiday weekend, things are going to stay above average as far as daytime highs. (13:04) Make sure you stay hydrated outside. Get some shade from time to time. Check on those furry four-legged friends. Elderly neighbors. I saw yesterday there was a dog that was outdoors that had a heat stroke in Walton County. (13:22) Actually, Walton County Animal Rescue got to it in time. They were able to get the dog back away from that high feverish temperature. The thermometer was reading like 108 degrees on that pup. (13:40) If you've got animals inside, please make sure that they've got some shade and some water. By all means, please. That's the least you can do. Coming up here in just a little bit, we've got plenty of stories to get to. (13:58) Plus, later on in the hour, ask Uncle Bobby your daily advice. Coming up here in about 35 minutes. Also, on the way, we're going to talk about our guest that we'll have in studio with us tomorrow morning. (14:15) Being author John Alvarez. Author of Walk, Run, Fly Again. First combat fighter pilot to return to combat after getting a prosthetic. So, pretty wild stuff there. (14:31) He's going to be doing a book signing on Saturday the 4th from 1.30 until 4 out at Stripes in Navarre. All right, stay with us. Coming up in just a bit, Skinnerd, the Eagles, and CCR. (14:49) Now, David Bowie, let's dance. It's Thursday morning. You're rocking with the B Team on 100.3 KROCK. Music from Skinnerd. You got that right. It's 724. Beautiful sunshine in South Okaloosa County on a Thursday morning. (15:06) 48 hours out from America's 250th birthday. It's coming up on Saturday. Tons of area fireworks will be going off all across Okaloosa County Saturday night. Up in Crestview at Twin Hills Park in Fort Walton. (15:24) Down at the Landing in Destin at the Harbor Walk Village. Of course, in Niceville, you can see them on Boggy Bayou. Either from Lions Park in Niceville or Lincoln Park in Valpe. Plus, Freeport, South Walton, all going to be doing fireworks as well. (15:40) We've got a full listing of Saturday evening's festivities on the events tab at thebteamshow.com. Plus, there's many more events that we're going to talk about. But you can find the link to everything we've got there at thebteamshow.com. (15:57) I've got a Florida man story for you today, Bobby. An 84-year-old Florida man has filed a lawsuit against Waffle House. Alleging that the large promotional signs in the restaurant's windows distracted him and caused him to trip over a curb as he entered the business. (16:15) Edward Bowles claims the curb was unusually high and blended in to the parking lot. And lacked adequate warning markings. Resulting in a fall that left him with permanent injuries. He's seeking more than $50,000 in damages. (16:32) Waffle House denies the allegations. Arguing the property was reasonably safe and that the curb was in open and obvious condition. But that was... there's a guy going for a frivolous lawsuit as far as I'm concerned. (16:47) Whatever. There was a study out, though, that intersections that have those digital billboards, you have a 25% higher chance of being involved in an accident. (17:03) At one of those? At one of those intersections. Because they are distracting. Takes away somebody's vision for just a minute off the road, and all of a sudden, bang, bang, you've got an accident on your hands. Anyway, I'm not sure that Waffle House signage in the window is that distracting. (17:23) Just saying. Coming up in about 20 minutes, Ask Uncle Bobby. We've got that on the way. Plus, a story about the guy that set off that explosion at Jimmy John's about a year ago. (17:38) More on that here in just a little bit. We're going to take a break. Music from the Eagles, Journey, Fleetwood Mac, and more on the way in just a few. It's the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas at Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach on 100.3 KROCK. (17:59) Well, tomorrow night is the fourth annual Star Spangled Food Truck Festival out at the Destin Commons. Starts at 5 o'clock. Live music from 1211 and below Alabama. 25-plus food trucks all evening long. (18:14) And what they are promoting is the Coast's grandest fireworks display tomorrow night at 915. That is Friday, July 3rd. Not the 4th. That is Friday, July 3rd, tomorrow, out at the Commons. We've got all the details for you online on the Events tab at thebteamshow.com. (18:33) Good morning, everybody. You're waking up to sunshine here in south Okaloosa County on another hot day. Yum. 80 degrees right now. Humidity's at 93. Heat index calling for a current real feel of 86 at the moment. (18:49) But climbing to 97, heat index values up to 105 here this afternoon, which is probably where I'm going to mow later on today. Yeah, at some point. I can't get you to come over and cut my grass. I ain't doing it, man. I don't know how to tell you this. (19:04) You know, for the tongue lashing we took half an hour ago from Pittsburgh, he ought to come over and do it for me. He owes me an apology, and by cutting the grass, I'll... You feel apologized to? Yeah, that'll work. I know him saying sorry are words that he'll never say. (19:20) He'll never know. Have you ever heard of him? Monkeys could fly. He is kind of a monkey, isn't he? Hey, by the way, Bridgeway Center here in Fort Walton recently recognized Larry McFarland on four decades of dedicated service, celebrating his lasting contributions to the organization's mission and providing behavioral health and community support services. (19:45) During a special ceremony, colleagues and leaders praised McFarland's commitment, professionalism, and positive impact on both clients and staff throughout his 40-year career. Forty years at the same place doing the same thing. That is a long time. (20:00) Yeah, that's quite a bit. Congratulations, Mr. McFarland, on 40 years of service to the community. Alright, coming up here in about seven minutes, we're getting advice. We're getting edumacated. Uncle Bobby's advice is on the way. (20:19) So stay with us. Coming up in just a few, music from the cars. Right now, Fleetwood Mac and everywhere. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell. The B Team Morning Show is on the air on 100.3 KROCK. (20:34) There's, yes, Owner of a Lonely Heart on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. It's 7.52 on a Thursday morning and, well, I would like to say we're on time. But we're about seven minutes behind Ask Uncle Bobby this morning, where it should be. (20:53) Bobby and I get to talking in here and all of a sudden time flies. We look at the clock and go, oh, crap. Maybe we should have done that. Yeah, maybe we should have done that. So, the music in the background tells us one thing and one thing only. It's time for your daily advice. (21:09) Ask Uncle Bobby, all stitched together byTomCat Custom Apparel. That's right. Behind every successful family reunion is one exhausted woman who started planning it sometime around Thanksgiving. And you know who orders the custom shirts? (21:24) Well, the person who's tired of answering the same question 50 times. Where's everybody at? That person, yeah. Well, today, Uncle Bobby, your question comes in from the Guilty Sidewalk Ghost. (21:39) Dear Uncle Bobby, I love living in the city, but I feel guilty that I do not really vote, volunteer, or go to local events. Is it possible to live here without contributing to the community? Possible? (21:54) It's not only possible. It's probably the entire point. Look, the modern city is a machine that runs on two fuels, right? Your money and your refusal to be recruited into someone else's cause. See, anyone telling you you need to contribute is trying to draft you into unpaid labor like it's a cute hobby. (22:12) Let me say this. With urgency, it deserves, okay? You know, like I'm testifying under oath while the skyline smolders behind me. See, civic duty is a gateway drug. First, they want you to vote. (22:28) Then, they want a meeting. Then, you're wearing a lanyard at 6.30 a.m. on a Saturday picking up trash like you owe the pavement an apology. See, the truly sophisticated urban resident understands the contract is simple. (22:43) You exist, you consume, and you do not get drafted. See, the city is a spectator sport. You buy the ticket, you enjoy the concessions, you leave before the crowd gets weird. And when the flyer hits your hand or a clipboard slides into your personal space, you gotta treat it like street noise in a symphony of self-preservation and you keep walking with purpose. (23:07) See, that guilt you feel? You gotta convert that into leisure immediately. You put it on a tight leash and take it for a long walk past a park you will not maintain and a mural you will not fund and a community board you will never attend like a dignified ghost haunting a place you pay to observe. (23:27) See, people act like cities collapse if you do not clap at the civic pep rally. And that's exactly how they keep the machinery humming. Panic, pressure, and performance. And if anyone calls you disengaged, you smile like a person who just avoided being handed a shovel in the middle of a parade. (23:47) I feel like I heard that advice five years too late. I tried to tell you. There you go, there's Ask Uncle Bobby this Thursday morning. Remember, you can find all of the past Uncle Bobbies online at thebteamshow.com or at DewBob.com and you can snag up your DewBob apparel for the summer as well. (24:10) Absolutely, and remember that all proceeds of apparel that you buy at DewBob.com goes to Bobby's Empty Pocket Fund. It's a real thing. That's right. That's right. Supporting Bobby's on the Old Ferry Road in Chalamar, Florida. And of course, Ask Uncle Bobby each morning is stitched together byTomCat Custom Apparel. (24:29) That's right, TomCat Custom Apparel, where the apparel is made custom for you. Yes, it is. Dan Diamond is next. Your Omni Broadcasting News is brought to you by McCaskill & Company, the Emerald Coast's finest jeweler. (24:47) I'm Dan Diamond. 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. Good morning, everybody. Deep Purple Space Truckin', one of Bobby's favorites, apparently. Yeah, it's the crappiest rock there is. You're not a fan of that one? (25:02) You know what, man? I would listen to Styx and Welcome to the Show over that crap. Well, ask and you shall receive. Don't you dare. Don't you dare. I said I would listen to it over that. (25:18) You've already made me listen to that on top of Mr. Crawley this morning. Yeah, I was just throwing in your favorites there. Yeah. Happy fourth to you. Yeah, maybe we can toss in Godzilla and Frankenstein while we're at it. Yeah, let's just do a Bobby Hitz hour. (25:34) Yeah, yeah, let's do some crapload of Pink Floyd. I think that actually might be coming up. Sounds about right. Hey, we're the B Team Morning Show just after 8 o'clock. Hope you all are staying cool. 83 right now. (25:49) Humidity's at 85%. Heat index making it feel like 93 out there. But the air temp's going to climb up to 97 this afternoon. Heat index values up to 105. So stay hydrated if you're going to be outdoors. Lather up on that sunscreen. (26:04) Slap on a ball cap and get yourself some shade from time to time as well. Also, don't be afraid to check in on those elderly neighbors in your neighborhood. Make sure their air conditioning's working okay inside their homes as well. Coming up later on in the hour, very, very challenging trivia. (26:23) We call it nearly impossible trivia at that. That's right. Bobby's going to give you a chance to win some free food from Lenny's. Subs and Grill. And I'll tell you what. (26:38) I think out of all these questions we've asked the last eight days on the show, we've only had, what, one wrong answer? Yeah. Something like that. Yeah. Overall, you people are smart. Overall, you people are smart. (26:53) But whoever wins today's sub giveaway and answers Bobby's nearly impossible trivia question correct will also qualify to win a big picnic for 20 people to celebrate America's 250th birthday this weekend. (27:10) And that picnic from Lenny's includes subs, chips, drinks, cookies, and more. So listen for your chance to win later on this hour and get qualified for that big picnic catering for America's 250 this weekend. (27:26) All right. We're going to get back into some classic rock here. Maybe Bobby will be okay with this one. 38 Special. Sure. Hold on loosely. Yeah, that works. It's the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas and OutKast Sushi, and Miramar Beach on 100.3 KROCK. (27:48) My wayward Bob. Kansas this morning on 100.3 KROCK. The classic rock station. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell looking outside the window at beautiful sunshine and hot temps. (28:03) That's right. Going to be a scorcher this weekend, so make sure you stay hydrated and drink until you gotta pee. That's what Bobby says. Drink until you gotta pee. Make sure those kidneys are working. As the University of West Florida prepares for its first season in NCAA Division I, school officials say new age-based eligibility rules will make roster management more straightforward for coaches and athletes. (28:31) The updated system gives student athletes up to five years of eligibility without the need for traditional redshirt designations or many waiver requests, creating a more predictable process. UWF Athletic Director Dave Scott says the changes should benefit students by providing additional time to complete their education and capitalize on name, image, and likeness opportunities while the university embarks on a new exciting chapter in D1 athletics at UWF. (29:01) They are moving to D1. They played their first D1 football season this year, right? Yeah. 1AA. Yeah, I think 1AA is how you have to... Well, they now call it what? NCS. FCS. FCS, yeah. (29:16) Yeah. Yeah, so they're there. But do they have a new stadium? So the one game that we went to last year, they announced the dude that gave the money to build the stadium. Oh, okay. Because they didn't have a stadium. They had some bleachers in a field. (29:33) But yeah, somebody gave money to build a stadium. I don't know that it'll be open this year. Yeah, it probably takes a few years to... Seems a little quick. ...construct it all. Who knows? Who knows? Well, it's exciting times. That's the first D1 program here for the state west of Tallahassee. (29:49) So at least the panhandle is getting a little D1 action now. Yep. There you go. All right, coming up in just a little bit, Bobby's got nearly impossible trip coming up. Have you put it together yet this morning? Yeah, I think maybe another riddle. Another riddle?

That's right. 850-895-7625. Know the answer to this riddle. (31:36) I worked with silver by daylight but earned my fame in just one night. I carried news instead of a gun to warn that danger soon would come. Though legend polished up the tale, my midnight ride would never fail. (31:52) Hmm. Who am I? Hmm. If you know the answer, you've got to call in at 850-89-KROCK. That's 850-895-7625. Again, today's riddle. I worked with silver by daylight but earned my fame in just one night.

I mean, why not? So, shout out to Annie up in Crestview. That's right. She was our second caller this morning, but she got herself a 7.5-inch sub from Lenny's in Mariester. And then Mike Chauvin, driving up to Niceville right now. (32:58) That's right, getting off third shift. Yeah, he was working the graveyard shift. But Mike was the first one to call in with the correct answer to Bobby's riddle. And that correct answer would be... Paul Revere. Paul Revere. Paul Revere.
