WQSB Morning Show with Barry and Holli
Episode 172
From the Wright brothers' sky-high antics to the down-to-earth nostalgia of bologna sandwiches, we take a lighthearted look at the curious world of sports memorabilia and the meaning we attach to the simplest things. Ever wondered about the value of an autograph or why glitter-infused pickles are a thing? We do too! Let's laugh together at the quirks of pop culture, from the delights of daytime talk shows to the unexpected surprises lurking in public domain classics.
And as the curtain falls on our favorite TV series, we relish in the drama of finales and the rollercoaster of emotions that come with them. Find out what we really think about Yellowstone's much-debated conclusion and the characters that kept us glued to our screens. We'll also explore the subtleties of gift-giving etiquette, the art of pretending to love those questionable presents, and the silent support that true friendship offers when the holiday hustle is all said and done.

Speaker 1:Good morning. It's 6.07. No blue sky yet. Maybe a decent day today. There's still a chance of some showers off and on. Today, scattered rainfall. You're looking to have about 67. First day of winter comes up this weekend. It looks more like winter as you get into the weekend. The cool fronts coming in bring in the highs in the upper 40s and low 50s, and lows will be in the upper 20s and low 30s. So cooler weather is on the way. So did you have some rain on the way in this morning?
Speaker 2:It drizzled, but it wasn't like full rain. It was enough to make the dog not want to go outside, maybe too.
Speaker 1:It always happens at the exact time I'm about to walk outside it's pouring down rain.
Speaker 1:Then you get in your car, yes, and then you get to the station and it's drizzling, so why could it not be more like that, but nothing like that this morning? All the heavy rain is out here for a while, but so there's a 60% chance of a pop-up shower, maybe a thunderstorm. 67, your high, so temperature-wise not bad at all. This morning we have some drizzle and 57 here at WQSP, and looking at the calendar, we are one week from Christmas Eve.
Speaker 2:You know what?
Speaker 1:I'm ready for it, are you? Oh, you finished your shopping.
Speaker 2:I finished, yeah, good good, there's a couple I don't know if, as a mom, if you're ever truly done yeah, because you think of other things that they want or you see other other things that they want but for the most part, I did it.
Speaker 1:I did it so you feel good.
Speaker 2:That's a good feeling I feel good, like I. I picked up harlow yesterday and I was like, yeah, christmas is only a week away. I can't wait to see what Santa brings you. Are you excited? Yeah, we're all excited, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, a week away from Christmas Eve.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm really excited. I love. Do you like Christmas Eve better or Christmas Day?
Speaker 1:You just do Christmas Eve because there's just something fun about it. I still like Christmas Eve better. It's like the hardest night ever to go to sleep when you're a kid.
Speaker 2:I know, but always so. What Mama did because we never did go to sleep is Santa Claus would come at about midnight and she would let us get up and go she would open up the door and say if we were awake we were always awake, of course and she said all right, Santa Claus has come.
Speaker 1:Oh, of course. And she said, all right, santa Claus has come. And then, yeah, that's fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was fun, yeah. And so it would be like you got to stay in your room or Santa Claus won't bring your stuff, and then we'd hear shuffling around. I'd look under the door like that quarter of an inch space.
Speaker 1:Did you see anything?
Speaker 2:No, I couldn't see nothing, but I would try.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but if they ever heard that door opening, santa quit and well he should things were put up, he put it back in his bag what he's got to. You can't see him, you can't watch, can't see. I know, get me sneaky like you are. Do you ever have a worst christmas gift? One that comes to mind?
Speaker 2:you know, I have to say my parents have always, always, always given me good and thoughtful gifts. I really didn't have a bad one, but you can say it Did you.
Speaker 1:I really didn't come to think of it. Some years were tougher than others. Not as many presents.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, For sure.
Speaker 1:Not from Santa, but from other relatives. Yeah, I think relatives are the worst gift givers ever. I think, first of all, they probably don't want to be there anyway. So then they just throw you in a pair of socks and wrap it badly, like on the way over there, like while driving I guess. But yeah, socks would be the worst. And that box of Lifesaver candy.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, the Lifesaver candy box.
Speaker 1:And usually it was butterscotch. Of all the flavors in the world, a kid does not usually want butterscotch.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I just, I remember going. My grandmother always gave me Beanie Babies when they were a cool thing, yeah, and then she switched to cash. Whoa, I mean, don't get any better than that, can't go wrong with that? Maybe Cash Whoa. I mean, don't get any better than that, can't go wrong with that. Maybe I'll hook me up. Yeah, I think I always got a little bit more than other grandkids. Oh, okay, that's what I think.
Speaker 1:Do they know that it's not confirmed? No, it's not confirmed. Now they do? Yeah, they probably do now. There's some jealousy out there right now. That's okay. 17th yes, a week from tonight Christmas Eve, santa Claus is coming. So what's going on today?
Speaker 2:Today, on this date in 1903, the Wright brothers became the first to fly an airplane in America.
Speaker 1:That is so cool.
Speaker 2:So December 17th, they were like get this baby up in the air.
Speaker 1:Yes, the first airplane you imagine. People thought they were probably crazy. That's not going to work. You're going to both die.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they were probably like what are y'all doing?
Speaker 1:Yeah, what are y'all doing up there? How's this ever going to make any money? How's it ever going to work?
Speaker 2:Well, it changed the world.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But the flight was so short that flight attendants just threw the beverages at the passengers. They just threw them Like here, drink it, Drink your ginger ale.
Speaker 1:Yeah, give me your can here, have it to me.
Speaker 2:A Bloody Mary. We have no time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, peanuts. Here's one peanut here. Hurry eat it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and here's what's crazy is it was only in the air for 12 seconds, yeah, and somehow their luggage got lost and wound up in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1:Uh-oh, 12 seconds and it still lost her luggages. Yep, that's horrible.
Speaker 2:It's all a date Poor.
Speaker 1:Wright brothers.
Speaker 2:Yep, here's something you need to know that Grand Slam baseball that Freddie Freeman hit in the World Series sold at auction over the weekend for guess how much.
Speaker 1:I'm sure it was an unbelievable amount $1.5 million. Why? Why do people spend this kind of money for a baseball?
Speaker 2:I don't know. Here's the thing. I feel like I could go get a baseball from Walmart, take it out to the park and rub some dirt on it A little dirty, a little scuff it up, a little bit Scuff it up. Scratch it up a little bit, maybe with a nail file.
Speaker 1:Sure.
Speaker 2:And be like guys. This is from Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth hit this ball.
Speaker 1:You would do that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if it means paying the bills.
Speaker 1:Yeah, could you prove it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I can do it.
Speaker 1:How I'll post it on WKSP's Facebook page. Barry Galloway's first home run ball.
Speaker 2:They would never know.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:How do we know that that was Freddie Freeman's ball? Yeah, we don't.
Speaker 1:We don't, really. You don't. You're taking someone's word on it.
Speaker 2:See, this is my problem in life I'm too skeptical. I don't believe very much that.
Speaker 1:I'm told.
Speaker 2:I believe probably 10% of what I'm told, but I will, 90% of the time, spread the gossip.
Speaker 1:You'll still tell it.
Speaker 2:I'll still tell it.
Speaker 1:Even though you don't believe it's true, you'll still talk about it, yeah.
Speaker 2:I'll still be like you got to. It's like your job yeah, freddie freeman, 1.5 million dollars over the weekend I've always been skeptical about autographs.
Speaker 1:When somebody shows me here I got an autograph, a picture from, I look at it like hmm how do you know?
Speaker 2:did they sign it?
Speaker 1:in front of you or no, you buy it autograph.
Speaker 2:I know and don't even know who signed it well, on ebay there's all kinds of autographs like anybody in the world that you could ever think of. Yeah, but couldn't you just forge it?
Speaker 1:Well, they also have these machines. You do your autograph and the machine copies it. Then, whenever they get a bunch of pictures, they just slide it in the machine and the machine stamps it and it's your autograph, but you didn't actually sign it.
Speaker 2:It's like that letter you got from the White House.
Speaker 1:From President Trump back years ago.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like that letter you got from the.
Speaker 1:White House From President Trump back years ago. Yeah, they sent me a letter, yeah, yeah, which I know he probably didn't sit down and sign that, no, but it's his signature, but he didn't actually sit down and sign my piece of paper.
Speaker 2:But to me it looks like it's printed. Yeah, it doesn't look like a fresh ink pen. Hmm.
Speaker 1:Well, I've got it and I know you're touchy about it.
Speaker 2:I know you're touchy about it. I don't want to hurt your feelings. I know I don't want to hurt your feelings. I'm just saying autograph picture oh, by who?
Speaker 1:this is spider-man. Oh okay, so who signed it? I don't know, it's spider-man, I don't know, I didn't have, I don't care, spider-man I've never had anything.
Speaker 2:I I have one. You don't know this guy, but his name is Paul Thorne.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:He's like a I don't know. It's music that me and dad listen to and it's so good, but he's like an unsigned guy. He's an ex-boxer.
Speaker 1:She got the autograph.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I got him when I was pregnant. I went to a concert and it said I said will you sign this for my daughter? And he said, dear harlow, be good paul thorne, oh so about that.
Speaker 1:Better hang on to that. Oh, if I break in your house, that's first thing.
Speaker 2:I'm going towards the paul thorne autograph, don't do that what he's good, I'm sure he is. Do you remember that that song? It's a Great Day to Whoop Somebody's.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Okay, oh, he sang that.
Speaker 1:Well.
Speaker 2:Somebody will remember that.
Speaker 1:It's a Great Day to Whoop Somebody's. Oh, that's CIA, okay. It's a great day Cool, and here's something. Don't have some names here. Name drop him. Name drop him yeah.
Speaker 2:Here's something to. Someone posted this on Facebook last night and it really made me start thinking. Bologna sandwiches are a parent's way of saying it is my legal obligation to feed you something.
Speaker 1:I've got to feed you something, so here's a piece of bologna with some mayonnaise and maybe a piece of cheese. There you go.
Speaker 2:You know what I was thinking about over the weekend. Yeah, my mama used to feed me mayonnaise sandwiches.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 2:I loved them. They were just mayonnaise and bread.
Speaker 1:I loved them, I'm calling the HR no no listen.
Speaker 2:Just hear me out, she, how easy would that be. Yeah, to be like Holly, I'm going to fix you something for dinner. Why Put this mayonnaise on bread? Oh, put the bread on top of it. Put your mayonnaise on both sides of the bread this time. But I loved it. But there's like nothing nutritious about that at all. There's no protein.
Speaker 1:And two slices of bread. Wow, I know Nothing says love for my mom like a mayonnaise sandwich. I think my mama loved me. Well, she proved it didn't she, she does now.
Speaker 2:She makes me eat like chicken casseroles.
Speaker 1:Now. Now she puts a piece of bologna on it and the mayonnaise.
Speaker 2:Hey, now listen, I don't think it's so neglectful if you do fried bologna.
Speaker 1:That's true if you go that extra step and it curls up on the sides.
Speaker 2:Now it could be worse. They could give you a can of Vienna sausages and say deal with it, here's some crackers. Here's some crackers.
Speaker 1:Underwood Devil, Ham Potted meat. Even the name potted meat, God.
Speaker 2:Chambers know Paul Thorne Potted meat yes.
Speaker 1:Potted meat. Why would you even name it that?
Speaker 2:Honey, will you pick me up some potted meat from the store? You know what I'm really craving tonight Potted meat. What is it?
Speaker 1:Give it a better name than potted meat.
Speaker 2:And the texture of it. What is it?
Speaker 1:Give it a better name than potted meat, and the texture of it. What else? What is it made of? We don't know. We don't know Give it a better name than that Something. Give it a shot, yeah, to at least be successful.
Speaker 2:Like what.
Speaker 1:I don't know, like ribeye drippings.
Speaker 2:Ribeye souffle.
Speaker 1:Yeah, see something, give it something, but not potted potted meat.
Speaker 2:That old potted meat.
Speaker 1:Mm, my mall Canned potted meat, mm-hmm. With gel.
Speaker 2:Oh, the jelly on it.
Speaker 1:You know that meat is bad when you got jelly on your meat. What is that jelly? You got jelly on your meat. You know it's not Thai quality.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So, anyway, I'm going to take the bologna sandwich.
Speaker 2:Yes, I like bologna sandwiches yeah, I love them Taking that over pot of meat.
Speaker 1:Absolutely yeah, it's $6.19.
Speaker 3:WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly.
Speaker 1:All right, since you've been gone, what's going on today?
Speaker 2:America's happiest state is Hawaii.
Speaker 1:I get that.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm. America's happiest state is Hawaii I get that when residents enjoy the longest life expectancy, highest life satisfaction and lowest adult depression. Overall, second place is I wouldn't ever guess this, but second place goes to Maryland.
Speaker 1:Wonder why.
Speaker 2:Maybe because it's cold all the time. Oh okay, I like the cold.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Louisiana is the least happy state in the US.
Speaker 1:Why are they, I wonder? I don't know, so they base this on life expectancy, highest life satisfaction and lowest adult depression. Yeah, so they're low in all three of those.
Speaker 2:The people in Louisiana ain't doing great, apparently not but Alabama is also near the bottom. It was the 44th least happiest state.
Speaker 1:I don't think you should base it on just those things. I mean, you can't base your depression on the state you live in. I wouldn't think, would you?
Speaker 2:Yeah, your surroundings and what you're exposed to, you could move if you don't like it, if you could. Well, I can't.
Speaker 1:Go somewhere else.
Speaker 2:I live with depression.
Speaker 1:I can't just get up and move. Is that lee? It is? Tell him to come on in, come on in.
Speaker 2:Come on in, come on in here he's in here, he's our, he's our master fixer engineers are standing by engineers are in the building.
Speaker 1:Thank you, yeah, but I hate to tell you they base the happiest state on things like that, that some of it's out of your control, the out of the state's control yeah, I mean we have beaches, we have I know.
Speaker 2:But think about the environment here in Alabama when you live in your house and do your day-to-day things. You would not do the same things if you lived in Hawaii, no See. So it does matter your terrain and you say, pick up and move my mom and daddy's here. I can't pick up and move, see, that makes you happy Mom and daddy, make me happy.
Speaker 1:But you don't believe you're in the 44th unhappiest state in the US. You think you're in one of the happiest because you're happy.
Speaker 2:I'd be a lot happier at a beach.
Speaker 1:In Hawaii. Yeah, okay. Well, that's why they're the happiest, that's why they're number one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you might be tempted to sneak your pet some holidays leftovers. But how much is too much?
Speaker 1:Do you give Doug some leftovers off the table? Yes, yes, I do. He's a bag.
Speaker 2:He always gets a couple I know, and it's so cute, it's so cute, it's so cute. You've seen him, I've seen him. It's so cute. He knows how to get up on the table, put his paws on there, then he'll just like pat his toes and look at you like.
Speaker 1:Okay, give me some of that.
Speaker 2:It's so cute For dogs. Just four pigs in a blanket is the equivalent of a Christmas dinner. Four, four, okay, one roasted potato is the human equivalent of eating one and a half pieces of lasagna. Oh, and it's also important to note that some holiday foods contain onion leeks and garlic, which can be deadly to cats and dogs so garlic's bad, garlic's bad.
Speaker 1:I didn't know that just like vampires.
Speaker 2:Same thing vampires and dogs so what do you give?
Speaker 1:does he like? Uh, what kind of foods does he like off the table? Dino nuggets, that's his favorite nuggets, dino nuggets, okay, specifically d Nuggets, mm-hmm. Okay.
Speaker 2:Specifically Dino Nuggets oh okay.
Speaker 1:So when the girls don't eat theirs, he's there to clean it up.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, that's his number one favorite thing in the world. He loves it.
Speaker 1:They don't give him candy or nothing like that right. Chocolate's bad right.
Speaker 2:Chocolate is bad, but they think.
Speaker 1:Oh, I think. But still give them better food than that. If you're going to give your dog some food, don't give him just a piece of chocolate. No, give him some meat. Yeah, give him a Zoomies if you give him too much chocolate.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we don't want that. I mean kind of it's cute, it's cute.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for a while, but not for his. You know not if, when they start jumping and running over your chest and dancing on your head and spinning around on the couch.
Speaker 2:Yeah, all kinds of tricks.
Speaker 1:Yeah, all right. 6.33.
Speaker 3:Mornings with Barry and Hall here on Alabama's country giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:Here at 67. This morning it's a cloudy, foggy, light rain. 57 here at QSB. This is always a big week in school because you knew it was the last week before you got up for like a two week christmas break. We got like three.
Speaker 2:I feel like we got like three weeks, did you? Yeah, I feel like we did.
Speaker 1:Maybe you just did maybe yeah, hey, it's foggy outside, and that's what I said in the weather earlier.
Speaker 2:I know, seconds ago I know, but looking outside it is like crazy foggy I tried to tell you. I mean you ignored me sometimes you say it's foggy and it's not really that foggy.
Speaker 1:Well, it's foggy.
Speaker 2:Today it's really foggy.
Speaker 1:Oh, I got to say really now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you got to say really foggy.
Speaker 1:Okay, If it's really really foggy.
Speaker 2:Well then you know you're going to have trouble seeing. Yeah, Really, really. I guess I didn't look outside of the window when you said it was foggy.
Speaker 1:Well, okay, I'm going to change the forecast. Outside at the moment it's really, really foggy, so be careful. All right, yellowstone, we finally had a chance to watch. If you haven't watched it yet, I'm sorry, you'll just have to suffer.
Speaker 2:Well, give them a minute. You may need to switch sessions, yeah because we're going to go ahead and talk about it To knock the live stream.
Speaker 1:yeah, You've had a day to watch it.
Speaker 2:You've had two days.
Speaker 1:That's plenty of time it debuted on Sunday.
Speaker 2:It's Tuesday.
Speaker 1:Plenty of time.
Speaker 2:We're talking about it, it's Yellowstone.
Speaker 1:Okay, so what do you think of the ending the finale Sunday night?
Speaker 2:I'm going to be honest. Yeah, I felt hung up to dry, like I felt like I was left a little. I was left unsatisfied.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:I was, and I know that a lot of people liked the ending with Elsa and how everything turned out and her narrating it. But I feel like all of that like showing Taylor Sheridan's character so much and then I feel like they're setting up for spinoffs.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And it wasn't focused on ending one of the greatest shows of all times ever. It was setting it up to hey, watch these other shows, they're not going anywhere. That's true, like with Rip and Beth.
Speaker 1:They're going to get their own show.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's a yellowstone, something we don't know yet. That may be part of the four sixes, don't know yeah I don't think the four sixes will ever make it. To be honest, I like jamie but I don't think he's strong enough character to care that show he's not, I can't stand him.
Speaker 2:Or his girlfriend. Yeah, and why? Why did we need a five minute segment of laney wilson? Yeah, why, that's wasting time. I would have so much. And this is growth or is just hang tight with me, okay, I would so much rather have watched five minutes of Jamie being tortured with like death by paper cuts.
Speaker 1:That had to be a tough scene to film with him and Beth.
Speaker 2:Pluck his eyelashes.
Speaker 1:Don't you agree?
Speaker 2:Pull out his teeth.
Speaker 1:That had to be hard.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Because that was brutal. Wow, you know, they probably trying to pull punches and stuff. They probably accidentally make some contact at one point or another.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:If you missed this part. Oh, that's one of the most violent endings I've ever seen, but I'm confused On the trailer over the like. When the show first came back on, the trailer showed somebody standing at the train station and raising their foot and kicking someone off the cliff, and that never happened.
Speaker 2:Okay, that's true. And also, do you really think that that fight seems so brutal? Have you ever seen Son of Anarchy?
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, I have.
Speaker 2:It gets way more brutal than that, Well yeah, that's a different story.
Speaker 1:You know that's brutal. Going in Yellowstone is not usually that brutal, though.
Speaker 2:It should have been.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:For Jamie yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't know, I just but why did you think they filmed that scene and then later on said, okay, we don't like that ending of how Jamie finish him, not Rip, because my guess was they filmed it with Rip kicking him off the cliff? Then they went back and thought, no, we want more satisfying if Beth is the one that actually does it.
Speaker 2:It's very much possible that scene? It's very possible, because there was a scene that we saw that was never aired.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't know. I just I feel like all it was is like knife stab dead, dead, dead. That's it. That's how he dies.
Speaker 1:That's all you're gonna give us Taylor? Yeah, I wanted Rip, just to drag him across the floor.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know how brutal the.
Speaker 1:Bantam off the ceiling fan.
Speaker 2:The scene was when the two guys broke in in Beth's office.
Speaker 1:That was awful Okay.
Speaker 2:That was so much more brutal than the way Jamie went.
Speaker 1:I agree.
Speaker 2:And I wish that Jamie would have went a little bit harder.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't know. I just didn't like him. I was just hoping to see him tortured. Okay, I just needed more. I just needed more.
Speaker 1:I agree. I think well, if you think about the fact that they found out like almost like last minute, kevin Costner is not going to be part of this finale, then Taylor Sheridan, who wrote every episode, had to go back and change a lot of the final. What five episodes or six episodes had to change a lot of what direction it was going to go. I think they did the best they could with what they had. The fact they had to make all these, I mean that's a major change when Kevin Costner says okay, I'm not coming back, yeah.
Speaker 2:Wow, okay, we're're gonna write you off. Then we gotta okay how we're gonna do this?
Speaker 1:by writing five minutes of laney wilson in there. If we put laney wilson in there, everyone will fall in love. And then they threw taylor sheridan in there.
Speaker 2:His character a lot but that was five minutes of storytelling that had nothing to do with anything horse yeah, and getting in a fight with rip at a bar cannonballs.
Speaker 1:Cannonballs in a pool.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:We didn't need that. No, give me more of Lloyd.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I hadn't seen you. I want to know Teeter's story. Teeter's been through it. Teeter has been through it.
Speaker 1:I think it's funny. I had closed caption on this. At one point Lloyd said something at the funeral it said inaudible. I really don't know what he just said. I don't know what he just said. I just don't know. I have no idea what he said and Tater's like we're not real sure what happened then.
Speaker 2:I know, I just I don't know, I'm just unsatisfied.
Speaker 1:I hate it it's gone. I hate it that it's gone.
Speaker 2:What did you think about the finale?
Speaker 1:though you don't have, I'm with you. I think they spent too much time building up the future shows. You can say they're building up the four sixes with Jimmy, and I think the fact that Beth and Rip moved into Texas closer I think they're going to somehow tie them into the four sixes. I think they will too. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I like the way they ended it with the land going back to the way Casey handed it off. I like that.
Speaker 2:I've been thinking about this. Can you legally from the state of Montana? Would you legally be able to sell $1.25?
Speaker 1:an acre. Don't know, don't know.
Speaker 2:Is that legal?
Speaker 1:I have no idea.
Speaker 2:Because it's the Yellowstone. It's not like.

Speaker 1:That's a good team up. Now we're playing the one called Body Talk. Now that's one of our fan favorites and that's kind of like more of a dance song, and they have a second song on there too. So I think they did this because she was busy getting ready to work on her first album. Then she got pregnant.

Speaker 1:Not poor Popeye.
Speaker 2:Yes, so what they're going to do is they're going to make a horror movie based on Popeye's character dealing I'm serious with a crazed killer who attacks with a can of spinach. Oh, my God that would be your worst nightmare.
Speaker 1:It would be oh no, not the spinach, oh no. Okay, so last year it was like Mickey Mouse became part of public domain.
Speaker 2:And then it was Winnie the Pooh.
Speaker 1:I've noticed that then there was like what was the Mary had a little lamb also. No, and I've noticed there's now a Netflix movie slipping through of a crazed lamb, half lamb, half human.
Speaker 2:So what is it? Just after a certain amount of time, they go into this royalty free, like you can use them as much as you want to.
Speaker 1:Yes, you can. You can After so many years After so many years? Okay, I forget if it's like 75 years or something. But here's a thought. Mary had a Little Lamb.

Be honest, what do you think? Like ewe, yes I know what you I see my eyes.
Speaker 1:Oh, you don't even. You didn't even eye roll, you just closed your eyes, I closed them that's not even eye roll.
Speaker 2:Here's there's an eye roll, but it's so much more dramatic so funny.
Speaker 1:But that one is probably people are pulling over now.
Speaker 2:Watch me, though Watch me.
Speaker 1:Close my eyes. I know it's awful Show some respect.
Speaker 2:I am. I'm respecting you, Mary. What was it again? I know what you did I know you A-W-E-U for lamb.

Speaker 3:That's a good one. It's going to be huge. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm 658. Wqsb.
Speaker 1:Mornings with Barry and Holly. Glickles Combination of glitter and pickles is one of the newest trends out there to go viral. Some experts are warning you, to be sure and let your children know, do not try this Because you've worked with edible glitter for years.
Speaker 2:Do not use polyester glitter in anything that is consumable.
Speaker 1:Warning Now you've worked with. What Edible glitter. Yes, you showed me a video that you made.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I just showed you that Edible glitter has been around for a while. I think I made this video about three years ago. Yeah, for a while. I think I made this video about three years ago. Yeah, but it's the thing uh okay, 201 weeks ago. How long is that?
Speaker 1:I don't know. 52 weeks in a year, that's about four years ago yeah, four years ago yeah okay, so I love edible glitter.
Speaker 1:You can put on all kinds of different stuff, but I've never thought to put it in the pickles here's the new trend somebody along the way put some glitter in a jar of pickles with the juice and all shook it up, and as you take the pickle out, it has glitter on it and they're calling it glickles okay there's one video on tiktok. Six, nearly six million views on this one video alone wow, that's good you can see what person what they call it a glycol.
Speaker 1:What exactly is that? It's simply what we just said. It's pickles submerged in glitter in the juice. The video shows the TikToker dousing a jar of pickles in pink glitter. Then they stir it with a butter knife and then they pull one out and eat it and that's all you do. But some of the experts are saying don't do this, just to be doing it to eat the glitter. It's not really good for you. It's not going to, I guess, bad for you, but this is not good for you.
Speaker 2:I never felt comfortable consuming edible glitter. It's just not something that should be, I don't know, going into your body. I don't know.
Speaker 1:This seems weird. Yeah, it's going to probably shock you in about two days.
Speaker 2:Yeah, is there a yeah, well, that ends up pretty. You're like, wow, you got to look at this. Wow, come take a look at this. Yeah, okay, I'm looking. Time for a glickle. Oh, they're pretty, see, yeah, they're really pretty. But please do not use regular glitter in your pickles. No, that you bought at Hobby Lobby, that you bought at Walmart.
Speaker 1:None of those are edible. So if the kids want to do it, you find the edible glitter and I would say, do it with them.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:Supervised. I'm sure they're putting a whole bottle in some of these. I think that's way too much, don't you?
Speaker 2:It says that it's yeah way too much. A little bit goes a long way, it sure does it says it's a news trend to go viral and there's people that are skeptical. It looks like they're playing on both sides. I'm watching the original video 2.8 million likes on this Unreal. That's not the views, that's just the likes.
Speaker 1:The likes, mm-hmm Wow.
Speaker 2:And I'm very girly and I like to do stuff for myself around the holidays. Yeah, because it's just me and I don't think I would put glitter in my pickles I don't either.
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:Yep, all right, the morning's quote of the day, what you got for us there are some people who could hear you speak a thousand words and still not understand you, and there are others who understand you without even speaking a word. I, I, agree.
Speaker 1:I think that's the way the morning show has taken off.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:When you work with somebody closely, over time you begin knowing when to talk, when not to talk, what to say and what you can say about what they're going to say, and you kind of feel it and it helps. It's not like you're reading their mind, but you just kind of know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you can anticipate what's going on. And there's some people who come into your life and you don't have to sit down there and explain exactly what you're going through having a bad day. They just kind of know you've had a bad day and they may just sit there and just let you have the bad day, Let you get past it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's some people. You have to explain your whole story too, but then there's some people that just understand your story without you having to speak a word.
Speaker 1:Yep, they get it. Yep 717.
Speaker 3:Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's country giant WQSB. Come on, man.
Speaker 1:Mornings, come on man Story game. Follow me closely on this one. You ready, all right, going to Thompson, georgia. The mayor of a small town in Georgia was found not guilty of leaving alcohol in a ditch for inmates to find while on work detail. Okay, now here's where it gets interesting.
Speaker 2:Did he hook them up?
Speaker 1:Well, according to this, the mayor was standing trial for furnishing prohibited items to inmates in attempting to commit a felony. Now they say that the mayor bought a bottle of Seagram's extra dry gin that ended up somehow in a ditch. This happened to be where the inmates were picking up trash and picking up things. Defense attorneys. His defense attorney says it actually fell out of the car when he was resetting his Bluetooth connection. He doesn't know how it fell out. It just fell out as he was resetting his Bluetooth. This happened to fall in the ditch in the same area they were picking up trash?
Speaker 2:Is it that one guy that, like you know, really likes the inmates and he's like I got you, I got you?
Speaker 1:During the trial he testified that he didn't remember what happened and that he bought the gin because his friend told him it would help prevent him from getting malaria.
Speaker 2:Oh wow.
Speaker 1:So he bought it for himself and as he was resetting his Bluetooth while going down the road, he says it somehow fell out of the car. Wait, there's holes in this story. How does it fall out of the car if it's sitting in the car and somehow magically falls out of the window?
Speaker 2:Why are we not talking about malaria? What, what?
Speaker 1:Are you?
Speaker 2:supposed to just drink gin every day for your life?
Speaker 1:that's what friend told him that it would help prevent malaria now the mayor said that no one on the. He knows nobody on the work crew. There's no reason he had to leave this behind for anybody. And they actually said we believed the mayor. He was found not guilty okay, well they believe the story of the old gin falling out of the car routine I hate when my gin falls out of the car because what do you do? Do you just?
Speaker 1:and I stop and do a u-turn, go back and get it you just don't notice.
Speaker 2:You just don't notice that a whole bottle of liquor fell out of your car.
Speaker 1:How does it fall out of the window?
Speaker 2:There's no thud, I mean.
Speaker 1:How does it go from the seat to the window? None of this story makes any sense.
Speaker 2:No, was he no, but they found him not guilty.
Speaker 1:Oh, there's no way that the mayor did that. He left it there on purpose and it just happened to fall out of the same area where the inmates were working.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. What are the odds? Yeah, that's fortunate.
Speaker 1:Come on man, it's 741.
Speaker 3:WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly.
Speaker 1:A Christmas question. You know, a week from tonight is Christmas Eve. Santa Claus is coming. They surveyed 2,000 Americans who celebrate Christmas and said 23% of respondents would say they loved a gift that they actually disliked. Not to hurt feelings yes, 22 out of 10 people. Yes, they loved it. Yes, how do you handle a gift? When someone gives it to you? You look at it and think but what is your response? You have like a go-to response that you use, that you just can't tell the truth, but you give them that response. You have one like what do?
Speaker 2:you say Like what?
Speaker 1:Like what do you say? Like what do you say oh, this is the most wonderful thing ever.
Speaker 2:Thank you so much I always just say something like how did you know to get this for me? Because I'm thinking like what is going on in your mind to buy this for me? Does that make sense?
Speaker 1:so I want to know the reasoning you're slapping them in a way, but saying it in a nice way how, how?
Speaker 2:did you know to get?
Speaker 1:this. I've been wanting this for years.
Speaker 2:No, I don't go that far.
Speaker 1:I've never had one of these.
Speaker 2:I would say that Use that one. Yeah, use that one.
Speaker 1:I would always ask. My grandmother always gave me the same thing, Like where did you get these? This is great.
Speaker 2:I know these black socks so I can return on who makes black socks. Now I can't find those anywhere. I know I feel like um, there's always one gift every year where I'm like what is it okay? Yeah what is this, but okay, let me ask you this one.
Speaker 1:It says about half of the people said that they use their resting gift face during the holidays to cover up the disappointment. What is a resting gift face?
Speaker 2:I think it's a smile.
Speaker 1:Oh, like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's like either.
Speaker 2:you're Like a fake smile Like you're not really putting much effort into it, so it's resting.
Speaker 1:So you can't tell if you've actually just you know what it's playing off of. Pooped a little.
Speaker 2:You know it's what it's coming from. Rbf rbf resting oh, okay and that's this face oh yeah, when you have when you have the angry face all the time. So this is resting gift face and I would think it would go a little bit like this just a little half smile, yeah well.
Speaker 1:over the past three years, they say, average person has received at least two gifts they did not like, at least two.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:The top responses for gifts you don't like include Thank you for thinking of me, and it's a thought that counts.
Speaker 2:I would never say it's a thought that counts.
Speaker 1:No, because that's ugly, that just seems ugly. No.
Speaker 2:But thank you for getting this for me. Oh, yay. So that wasn't that I hate it, but thank you for at least giving me a gift.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're so sweet and I never ask them, so do you have the receipt?
Speaker 2:No. You still have the receipt for that, but I will tell you this yeah. Where did you get this? And then go take it back for store credit. I have done that For credit. Mm-hmm, yeah, it ended up only being like five bucks.
Speaker 1:I understand Took five bucks off my groceries. Yeah, I did. Yeah, all right, it's 8-18.
Speaker 3:Barry and Holly on Alabama's Country, Giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:Morning's crime story. I'm not a criminal mastermind, never will be. I don't steal, I don't do stuff like that. But a guy in Massachusetts, a 33-year-old man. He attempted to evade police by climbing onto a rooftop. First of all, how did you get up on the rooftop? Then he decided okay, they'll never find me here. I'm going to climb down this chimney, they'll never catch me here. That's where he got stuck.
Speaker 2:Don't pull the sand claws.
Speaker 1:He got stuck in the chimney, had to get the same police he was running from to come help him, along with other people. Emergency medical services to get him out took like over two hours and they pretty much had to almost destroy the chimney because he was stuck about halfway down.
Speaker 2:I would like to see the build of this man yeah, you mentioned four people, their house. They had nothing to do with any of this and he just climbed up the trellis and jumped through, I guess I don't know if they had a ladder nearby.
Speaker 1:I don't know what he did did, but somebody got on the roof and down the chimney. He went thinking this is going to take me into the house. Okay, where's he going to go then?
Speaker 2:That's got to be some big confidence. You have to be like I'm going to jump down this chimney and get in these people's living room and then hide. First of all, you better be thin, you better be thin, you better be thin, you better be a beanpole.
Speaker 1:Santa has magic powers. We can do it. Just regular man. No, you're going to get stuck Because people don't understand that when you go into the chimney, most of the time almost all the time there's some different things in there Levels you've got to get through Flumes, stuff, whatever they call them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because they have to build it that way, because birds could fly into your house, yes, anything Animals.
Speaker 1:Yeah, animals, cold air Fall in there, yeah, so it's things you have to have, so he's not going to just go straight through. I guess he just watched too many Santa Claus movies and thought I'm just going to fall into the living room and then they'll never find me in there.
Speaker 2:And he needs to get off the Hallmark Channel. Yeah, that is not the smart way to do it my guy.
Speaker 1:No, not falling down a chimney. No no no, not falling down a chimney. Poor homeowners have got to get their. Does insurance cover that?
Speaker 2:Like I said, I would like to see his build. The confidence of this man is unmatched. Is he a smaller man that would be able to fit down a chimney and just got stuck?
Speaker 1:It says he got stuck immediately, so it makes me think that he didn't even make it.
Speaker 2:Maybe a little thick.
Speaker 1:His head is still hanging out of the chimney like prayer dogging up there.
Speaker 2:Can you imagine fleeing from the police and then all of a sudden have an oh moment and be like, oh no, I need their help now. Can you help me?
Speaker 1:The same ones. I'm the police.
Speaker 2:I'm in a predicament.
Speaker 1:We'll get with you in just one minute.
Speaker 2:We're going to get us a little dinner, go Waffle.
Speaker 1:House. You need anything while you're stuck in that chimney, just bring some coffee. It's going to take a while. We can tell you that.
Speaker 2:I'd have to wait until he got morning skinny. You know how, when you wake up in the morning, morning skinny yeah, it's the thing. When you wake up in the morning and you feel skinny, like smaller.
Speaker 1:Yeah, until you weigh.
Speaker 2:And then you weigh, yeah. Or then you drink coffee or anything, put literally anything in your body and you balloon up.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:You're looking at me confused.
Speaker 1:I'm confused. It's morning skinny. I've never thought of it that way. The women out there, they know what I mean morning skinny, morning skinny, okay. Yeah, nothing beats morning. It's not the word that comes to mind. I think of morning, but yeah, whatever, okay, okay, all right we'll move on to trivia then totally different.
Speaker 1:Yep, all right, your chance to win the same question from yesterday. It's a morning trivia from barone's pizza and arcade. Your chance to win a free pizza buffet to either location. One is on george wallace to Gadsden, the other one Galt Avenue North in Fort Payne. Nearly 255 million pounds of paper is used in the US each year. For this 255 million pounds and there's one certain business they probably use half of this In a day.
Speaker 2:Because they give you so much of it In a day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so much of it. And it's not napkins, it's something that you have to buy something to get this. Is that a help? Have to buy something to get this. What's wrong?
Speaker 2:I mean you get? Scott said oh my God Barry.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he got it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, he got it, he picked up.
Speaker 1:He picked up what you were putting down.
Speaker 2:Anyway, that basically gives them the answer.
Speaker 1:Well, we hope let's see Mazda in Columbia, columbia. They now have a solution.
Speaker 2:Buyers, if you want a, CX-30, a CX-5, or a CX-50,. You can now order these specially made with bulletproofing.
Speaker 1:I need that I see, yeah, it's a new service offered by Mazda. As reported by a new service, it said that Mazda models can now be upgraded to level 2 armor, giving you protection for occupants against small arms fire. This is mainly in Columbia Columbia, you know the drug revolution, ah, cocaine. It'll protect you against a small arms fire up to caliber of 9mm and .357 Magnum. It adds a 17mm shatterproof multi-layer glass, 3-dimensional ballistic panels for all hard surfaces. Pretty much it's bulletproof, so you can add. It doesn't say the price on this, but I can't even imagine.
Speaker 2:I wonder how this would hold up during a wreck, Like are you extra reinforced for a wreck?
Speaker 1:I would think you would be.
Speaker 2:Like imagine, go rolling, Like does it even dent?
Speaker 1:Probably not. Or do you just hang on for the ride Like a Hot Wheel, one of those you know matchbox, you can just play with them.
Speaker 2:They just keep wrecking them.
Speaker 1:Windshield doesn't break, no matter. No, yeah, if you're in a, you have to have this. Maybe I would consider a different line of work.
Speaker 2:You might be in the wrong line of work.
Speaker 1:I think, a different job, a different occupation.
Speaker 2:But any time you're pushing drugs you should probably be in another line of work. Probably we're not judging you for it.
Speaker 1:Well, I am. If you're doing that, then you should, but no, that's awful. Every once in a while we jumped in the vehicle going to remote and say which one are you driving? Well, I'm going to drive with one of the armored, the bulletproof, the bulletproof one, of course. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm only taking the bulletproof one from now on.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're doing the remote in the rough part of town. You don't know. Yeah, you don't know. Yeah, but that's crazy, though, that you can order these things with bulletproof.
Speaker 2:Hmm.
Speaker 3:I would like to know what this costs I and say yeah, it's 845.
Speaker 1:Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's country, giant WQSB Got the morning's quote of the day.
