World Wish Day & the Zipper Betrayal: When Grown Adults Outsource Hope to the Universe—And Their Pants Fall Apart

(00:01) Here's today's B Team Redux. That's right, the Camels, known as Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell, are back on the air. Wow, a camel. How many humps you rockin' today? I don't, I'm at 52, you don't really rock a hump anymore. (00:19) You do kind of have that hump hunchback though at that age. It's just decorative. Going to see a high today of 84 degrees before the weather turns south. That's right, we've got a soggy spring forecast in store for you. (00:39) The latter half of the work week and the end of the weekend. More on that in just a little while. I want to thank our B Team Morning Show sponsors, including our friends at Stripes Pub and Grill in Novar, as well as Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi for always bringing you the show. (00:54) Without them, well, we'd probably still be here. Yeah, and we'd have less money. Well, today, all week long, these national holidays have been just riveting. (01:15) And this morning is no exception. Now we talk about World Wish Day this morning. Yeah, where grown adults outsource responsibility to the universe and Act Shock doesn't Venmo them. Hey, look, World Wish Day is an annual moment when humanity collectively squints at the universe and says, Come on, just this once? (01:39) You know, listen, it's in honor of a Make-A-Wish kid who kicked the whole thing off back in 1980. You remember that, Schuyler? No. You don't. Yeah, look, it's sweet. It's sincere. It's also the one day a year adults pretend wishing isn't just budgeting with glitter on it. (01:54) You know, folks trade stories, post hashtags like candles, make donations, and otherwise act like the cosmos is a customer service desk, which might finally pick up. But, yeah, it's absurd on purpose. Because, you know, sometimes the only thing standing between you and despair is a ridiculous little wish with decent PR. (02:15) World Wish Day. This is so exciting. Naturally. Got the Eagles on the way after the Outlaws, now on 100.3 KROG. ELO, Don't Bring Me Down, and the B Team Morning Show with Don't Pull Em Down. (02:33) That's my denim jeans I'm wearing. Don't de-pants me this morning. Okay. Because today is denim day. Yeah, the holiday where we honor pants tough enough for real work by wearing them to sit perfectly still and call it awareness. Okay. (02:48) Yeah. Why not? Yeah, why not? Oh, denim day is that annual moment when society decides the best way to honor anything at all is to put it on jeans and pretend fabric has morals. Yeah. Everybody knows it's ridiculous. Look, hey, which is exactly why it works. (03:04) It's low effort, high visibility, and just uncomfortable enough to make you feel like you participated. You know, it's a public uniform for a private intention stitched together with good vibes and questionable logic. So, you know, pull on your bravest pair and act like this solves something. (03:22) You know, don't worry. We'll unpack what the rest of this means on air at some point. Denim day. That's today, folks. I know it's so important to all of us. Yeah. Without those jeans. That's right. (03:37) We would be walking around like Captain Underpants. Exactly. Or Captain Birthday Suit in my case. Hey, you know, we've come to a point in society where jeans is dressed up. That's true. Society where jeans is dressed up. That's true. (03:52) That's called Sunday best these days. Don't forget, coming up on Saturday, it's the Kentucky Derby. And for the best derby party in the area, we invite you to head out to the Sky Bar on the Destin Harbor. (04:07) Right out there at the Edge Seafood Restaurant. Should be a lot of fun all day long. They're going to have prizes and games and, of course, plenty of mint juleps and hats for the ladies. Don't miss out. We've got more details on that event and so many more by visiting our website at thebteamshow.com. (04:25) A look at your marine forecast should you be heading out on the water today. Coming up next on 100.3 KROCK. There's more here than meets the ear. 100.3 KROCK. ZZ Top and Sharp Dressed Man. (04:40) That's what guys do when they wear their denim. As we mentioned at the last break, it's Denim Day. But with the denim come the zippers. Absolutely. Goes hand in hand. Have you ever had the opportunity to get the frank and beans stuck in the zipper? (04:57) Oh, that's happened. Not fun. Not fun. But today we also honor zippers. Zipper Day. Yeah. What else could scream cultural milestone like celebrating the one invention that's betrayed more people than their own exes? (05:12) All right. I'll give you that one. I probably shouldn't tell this on myself, but I made it back to the house after all day at the remote that we did. (05:29) I will not say where, but where we were all day Saturday. And oh, man, I got to go to the bathroom and realize my zipper had been down the whole time. Oh, my God. There you go. I live life on the edge. (05:44) Imagine anybody that's maybe at that eye level. Man, I don't even want to think about it. I'm going to go with the shirt that I had on was really long. So nobody knew. Zipper Day is the annual civic ritual where we pretend a little strip of teeth and a slider didn't save modern society from walking around like a busted couch cushion. (06:08) You know, people celebrate by zipping and unzipping anything that will tolerate it. Jackets, bags, boots, relationships. Yeah. You know, just to just hear that smug little zip that says for one brief moment, your life has closure. (06:23) You know, there's usually a ceremonial stuck zipper, too, because the universe refuses to let anybody feel confident for longer than eight seconds. But, you know, it's absurd on purpose. And that's the point, because one day a year, we honor the tiny invention, holding our dignity together by a thread and a prayer. (06:44) It's Zipper Day. I cannot believe there's a day for that. I guess you need to get your believer fixed. Here's Greg Kinn on the BT Mordechai with 100.3 KROCK. Faces with Rod Stewart. (07:00) Stay with me on the Classic Rock Station. 100.3 KROCK. It's the BT Mordechai show, brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Duvar, as well as Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell, reminding you that next Saturday, May 9th, going to be a busy one here on the Emerald Coast. (07:19) There's a boats and what event at Marine Max? Boats and hoes. I mean, boil. Right. Okay. I'll get it right one of these days. Boats and crawfish. Better than boats and crabs. Which might come from... Boats and crabs usually comes after boats and hoes. (07:36) It certainly can, but it's not going to be at Marine Max next Saturday. Saturday, May 9th, 11 to 3. Join us at Marine Max, their boats and boil event. 500 pounds of fresh, delicious crawfish. Some people do say that. Why? (07:51) Because they're idiots. All right. I'll give you that. Makes sense to me. Any other questions? That'll be from 11 to 3 next Saturday, May 9th, at Marine Max, but the crawfish is free. (08:06) Yeah, how cool is that? And then... Who is that? Oh, never mind. Then Saturday, May 9th, we'll also be up in Crestview that afternoon for the America 250 Grand Parade and Celebration. (08:21) So it should be a lot of fun. There's going to be food trucks, vendors, of course, plenty of red, white, and blue, and more. Both of those events that we just talked about can be found online at thebteamshow.com. Well, you know what we do. (08:37) Yeah? When we doomscroll, we watch stupid viral videos. And that's today what we're celebrating. It's Viral Video Day. Oh, yeah, the annual celebration of people doing dumb things for strangers' attention. (08:52) Yeah, kind of. If you think about it, this is honestly nature's way of proving Wi-Fi was a mistake. Wrong. What would we do? Viral Video Day is the annual reminder that the Internet runs on two fuels, attention and bad decisions filmed in a landscape by someone who swears they didn't even know it was recording. (09:15) You know, it's a holiday where we pretend the algorithm is a meritocracy, then sacrifice our dignity to it like it's a bonfire and we're cold. You know, you scroll, you laugh, you cringe, you share it ironically, and congratulations, you've joined the unpaid marketing team. (09:32) You know, don't worry. We're not here to judge. We are. We're here to take notes because tomorrow you'll deny you ever watched any of it and your phone will testify against you. Viral Video Day. (09:47) That's today, folks. All right, the 7 o'clock hour coming up just around the corner. Stories and, of course, Ask Uncle Bobby due up next hour as well. Right here on the BT Morning Show with 100.3 KROCK. This is a song for Bobby this morning, Brain Damage. (10:03) Ah, yeah. From Pink Floyd. Good morning, everybody. Hope you're doing well. Overcast, 72 degrees in Destin, Fort Walton Beach. A high today of 84. And thunderstorms in the forecast starting tonight. (10:20) Continuing tomorrow. And Friday. And Saturday. Before sunshine returns on Sunday. All of the rain that we've been missing this spring is coming in the next three days. Well, there you go. (10:35) There you go. That's what we can say on that. Yesterday, King Charles flew to the U.S. And made his appearance in front of Congress. And was warmly received by the No Kings crowd. (10:53) Yeah, I saw that. It's amazing how Democrats give a standing ovation to a king. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought that was funny, too. I thought that was just wild. (11:08) So anyway, that was kind of comical yesterday. And then James Comey got indicted a second time. And there is an arrest warrant out for him. Did you see that? No, I missed that. Yeah, former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted over his controversial 86-47 social media post. (11:28) A post of, you know, seashells that he said organically arranged in those numbers. That prosecutors say amounted to a threat against President Trump, the 47th president. Now, 86 means to get rid of something. Though, Comey says he never intended it as a threat and called the post totally innocent. (11:47) The indictment includes two federal counts related to threatening the president and transmitting a threat across state lines, which can face prison sentences of 10 to 20 years. So, that was out yesterday. (12:03) All sorts of exciting stuff out of Washington. Oh, and then the FCC making moves against ABC and Jimmy Kimmel. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. (12:18) So, anyway, we'll get to all that here in just a little bit. Don't forget, coming up next weekend, Saturday, May 9th, at the America 250 Parade up in Crestview. That'll be a lot of fun. (12:33) There's going to be vendors, food trucks, live entertainers, guest speakers, live music, and of course, plenty of red, white, and blue. Yeah, I'm looking forward to that. That's going to be fun up there, I think. It's all for America. All for America. (12:48) You can find more details on that event by visiting our website, thebteamshow.com. I'm Schuyler Black. He's Bobby Durrell. We are the B Team Morning Show on a hump day, Wednesday morning. Brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, as well as Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. (13:07) Well, this music set definitely has two tails to it. Started out with Brain Damage, now we go to Supertramp's Logical Song. From one end of the spectrum to the other. Well, there you go. It's 100.3 KROCK. (13:22) 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. Good morning, everybody. How you doing? It's 7.22. The B Team Morning Show's on the air. I'm Schuyler Black. He is Bobby Durrell. And yesterday, in the royal visit to the White House, pilots and maintainers from Eglint Air Force Base actually assisted in a flyover over our nation's capital. (13:47) Four F-35s flew over the White House welcoming King Charles and Queen Camilla in Washington yesterday. The four jets came from the 58th and 60th Fighter Squadrons out of the 33rd Fighter Wing. The 33rd Fighter Wing is one of the two main training bases for F-35 pilots. (14:05) And the F-35 program is shared between the U.S. and U.K. among other allies. So, that was kind of cool. Had a little tie yesterday to welcoming in the King and Queen from England yesterday. So, just wanted to make note of that. (14:22) Man, there's all sorts of news out of Washington. Yeah, there's definitely a lot going on. One that kind of struck me here, not out of Washington at all, but just a different story. (14:40) Because I love it when people explain tech away with exactly what tech does. But Disneyland is rolling out facial recognition at most park entrances right now. So, they're using cameras to scan guest faces and match them to tickets or pass photos to speed entry up and crack down on fraud. (14:59) Like pass sharing and things like that that people are doing. Now, Disney says that the system, though, don't be worried. The system converts faces into numerical data. It's not stored photos and says that data is generally deleted within 30 days. But here's what it says. (15:15) The system converts faces into numerical data. Everything on a computer is numerical data. And binary, right? Exactly. Ultimately, it's all binary. Ultimately, it's two numbers. Which is numerical. (15:30) So, yeah. Okay, great. No, we're not storing photos. We're just doing a numerical composite of the photo. Yeah, that's exactly how a photo is stored. When does that start? It's already started. It says the program's optional, though most entries now use it. (15:46) Guests who don't want to participate can use designated opt-out lanes where cast members manually check tickets instead. Children under 18 need parent or guardian consent to use the facial scan option. Obviously, it's drawing privacy concerns with critics warning about surveillance creep and data security risk. (16:04) While Disney says it's, you know, just simply about convenience and security. Of course it is. Of course it is. You know, it always is. They will come first for your security, right? First for your safety. Well, just because you're not smart enough to be safe yourself, you know. Exactly. I mean, we saw the model in play during COVID, so. (16:22) Uh-huh. Yeah, and speaking of COVID, there's another story to get to later on in the hour about one of Anthony Fauci's former staffers. All that, plus Ask Uncle Bobby coming up in the second half of the 7 o'clock hour. (16:39) It's going to be a fun morning. We're happy to share it with you right here. Right on. VT Morning Show, 100.3 KROCK. You're my best friend. Aww. Well, that's what Queen said. Oh, okay. Those weren't my words, Bobby. Okay. (16:54) Big difference. Big difference. It's a VT Morning Show on a cloudy Wednesday morning. I saw a camel on the road coming in. Yeah. Uh-huh. Better than seeing Camel-uh. I hear you. (17:09) Yeah. A former top advisor to Dr. Anthony Fauci, known as Dr. David Morins, has been indicted on federal charges accusing him of hiding government records tied to COVID-era research. (17:27) Prosecutors say he used personal email to dodge public records laws and tried to keep some communications from being discovered, and allegedly took perks like meals and wine tied to grant-related favors. (17:43) The case centers on transparency, not claims that Fauci himself has been charged, but Morins faces multiple counts involving conspiracy and concealing or falsifying records. Now, in simple terms, the government says he tried to keep certain pandemic-related communications out of public view, and now he's facing criminal charges over it. (18:05) There you go. You know, that's kind of what it comes down to. That's what everyone was so pissed about, is just the absolute lack of transparency, when they knew things, but they weren't sharing the information with us. Yep. So, yeah, I'll tell you, now that Todd Blanche is running the DOJ, it seems like things are moving a little more at a swift pace than they were with Pam Bondi. (18:31) I gotta tell you, it does seem like there's a lot of litigation coming out. Mm-hmm. So that's something that's rather interesting, but I wanted to pass along that story this morning. Hey, also, coming up in just a couple of weeks is the 70th annual Billy Boleg's Pirate Festival, and Captain Billy, Ricky Gwynn, is gonna be joining us here on the B Team Morning Show in a couple weeks. (18:56) So we'll talk more about that as it gets closer. Mm-hmm. But I like the captain this year. He's a good guy. Yeah, he's not so bad. Not too shabby. He's all right. Not like we, you know, feel obligated to say that or anything. (19:13) No, not at all. Don't forget, all the area events can be found at thebteamshow.com. Here's ELO on KROCK. Yeah, softening you up before you hear the words of Uncle Bobby this morning. Sweet talking woman on the B Team Morning Show, brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, and Okaloosa Gas at OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach.

(30:07) Now, he went undrafted last weekend, got totally clowned, but the Ravens did come in in the 11th hour and sign him as an undrafted free agent. Reportedly, he slipped in the draft because he was in a bad mood. He's legitimately like 5'8", 5'9", and of course, a questionable character at times. (30:24) He has some off-field controversy, including social media outbursts after the Heisman vote as well. And now he gets his shot to compete behind Lamar Jackson in Baltimore.
