Speaker 2:Oh God, when I worked in Haleyville years ago. Oh, you told me this. This is awful, yes.
Speaker 1:I went to WJBB. I left here when I first got started in radio, Went to Haleyville. Thought I was going to be the next great thing in Haleyville. This is horrible. There's nothing in Haleyville except trees, but anyway it's a classic rock station. The owner insisted that everybody had names that he came up with so my name, since my name was Barry. He thought there for a minute. He said I've got it, You're going to go with Barracuda.
Speaker 2:That makes me cringe the heart song, barracuda yeah.

Speaker 2:Did you call yourself that I?
Speaker 1:had no choice. My name is Barracuda. That's horrible. Is that the worst name ever?
Speaker 2:Yes, that's horrible. Is that the worst shame ever? Yes, that's horrible.
Speaker 1:I wouldn't tell that story. Well, I will never change it back to that. So now the artist formerly known as Barry Coonan.
Speaker 2:How long were you?
Speaker 1:Three months and I had enough and came back home.
Speaker 2:Oh God, Came back home. Did they hire you right back?
Speaker 1:No, then I was cleaning up cars for the next three or four years.
Speaker 2:Oh really.
Speaker 1:I was out of radio for a while I didn't know that. Then there was an opening that popped up again here at the radio station For an announcer, yeah, and it was like a part-time on WAVU. So weekends, oh yeah, yeah yeah. So that's where I started doing weekends. It went from that to that to this. Well, I mean, holly's a great name? No, it's not. It's a good radio name too.
Speaker 2:No, it's not. It is no, it's really not. I don't like. I mean, I don't want to disrespect my parents, but I always wanted a cooler name, Like what what's?
Speaker 1:a cool name Like Piper. Why? Why is piper cooler than I don't know? Or?
Speaker 2:like I mean think about my daughter's names harlow and mayor totally unusual, but they're interesting.
Speaker 1:That's something probably won't be copied well, I've seen a few harlows, okay, actually but no mayor never seen a mayor the mayor's name for john mayor got you and well it started out, may was a family name, okay.
Speaker 2:And then I didn't want my child to be something may, because I'm just not that southern like ella may your middle name rhymes with me mine is ray, yes, so I didn't want harlow ray and blank may. I was like, no, I can't do that where did the ray come from?
Speaker 1:uh, my great, great, great grandfather, I like that Passed down that Like Holly Ray, that's like a radio, that's like the entertainment name.
Speaker 2:That was my great, great, great, then great, great, then great, then grandfather, then my daddy's, then mine and now Harlow's, Okay, Okay. So anyway, that's where that went. And since they, Since they wanted it to be May, we were like don't like anything. Then I was listening to John Mayer and I was like, ooh, what about Mayer?
Speaker 1:Interesting.
Speaker 2:Because her dad loves John Mayer too. Yeah, so that's where that came from. Okay, I think that I would name myself. You have to say the whole thing. You can't just say the first name. No, I would be Stevie Nicks.
Speaker 1:Stevie Nicks. Yeah, you don't hear many girls named Stevie. There are some I met one years ago. Her name was Stevie, but that's really not a name. I know a lot of Stevie guys, but not many girls.
Speaker 2:But you'd have to call me Stevie Nicks.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 2:The whole. Thing.
Speaker 1:It's kind of like when I go out, for some reason, people don't just say, hey, barry.
Speaker 2:Hey, Barry Galloway.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, which is cool.
Speaker 2:We'll call you Barry Galloway.
Speaker 1:I mean, I have no problem with it. I think it's fun.

Speaker 1:A lot of Heather.
Speaker 2:There was this soap opera that my mom and dad watched, which I don't know, and there was this hot girl on there there was a Heather Locklear. Hold on. There was this hot girl on this soap opera named Holly, oh, and daddy named me.
Speaker 1:Okay.

Speaker 2:You remember the um austin powers characters?

Speaker 1:Yeah, he had a lot of them yeah.
Speaker 2:There was the P word too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, can't say that on air, it's from an old James Bond movie.
Speaker 2:Yeah, p Galore, something galore, yeah he galore, you are correct. How do you get away with that? Don't know. Wasn't that on James Bond?
Speaker 1:It was in one of the movies, yeah, one of the hot babes in the movie. We always had like one or two in every movie. How do you get away with that? I?
Speaker 2:don't know. Yeah, you couldn't today. Nope, here's your little something extra. A recent study from the University of Kent suggests that owning a pet can have a significant positive impact on life satisfaction and your own well-being equivalent to the happiness gained from almost $90,000 a year.
Speaker 1:When did I look down that?
Speaker 2:number. I don't know how does that add up. Anyway, pet ownership provides similar benefits to those derived from marriage, except for the negative parts. I agree. Except for the sleeping on the couch, except when they're pooping the floor.
Speaker 1:Yeah, which the sun makes us have, but anyway, oh Lord, yeah, Amber Heard did, that's what they said. But I agree. I think a pet has such a great impact If you get the right pet. There are some pets that will drive you crazy, or they're a little yapping, they're barking, and some cat will scratch every piece of furniture in the house.
Speaker 2:My dog is the best dog ever in the whole wide world that ever existed. Yes, he poops on the floor. If I don't get home in time, I don't blame him. Or if it storms or if he's mad. But he also peed on my birthday balloons.
Speaker 1:But I know, I know I don't know, but he is my favorite boy in the whole wide world in case you're wondering no, he doesn't have powerful pee which you're picturing balloons at the top of the ceiling oh no no, they were on the ground
Speaker 2:they were deflated? Yeah, they were. He's the kind of stream.
Speaker 1:He'll be on.
Speaker 2:America's got talent and he's very talented yeah, he, he is, and he can do a number three.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he can raise his leg and poop in midair.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm, we've only seen it once, when he was on the run.
Speaker 1:I've only seen one other person do that, and that was a guy. He was drunk.
Speaker 2:Oh, wow, yeah, At a bar or something.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, festival.
Speaker 1:Midair yeah.
Speaker 2:Probably right south it was, and then here's I'm not saying this. I'm not doing it, you can do it. No, I'm not Scientists.
Speaker 1:I saw this this morning. Uh-huh, scientists this morning announced that a day on Uranus just got a little longer. They have figured out by watching it using the Hubble Space Telescope. They have confirmed it takes Uranus 17 hours 14 minutes and 52 seconds to complete a full rotation.
Speaker 2:Is that true?
Speaker 1:This is true. This is longer than they first believed it took. So basically, the day on Uranus just got a little longer.
Speaker 2:So, in other words, it now takes longer each day to get Uranus out of bed. No crickets, no, I need my own hot keys.
Speaker 1:So it takes longer to get your anus out of bed. That's what they're trying to say.
Speaker 2:That's what I said to Harlow this morning, get your anus out of bed.
Speaker 1:621. Mornings with Barry and Holly here on Alabama's country giant WQSB.

Yeah, so go to her facebook page and give us some ideas here what you would change your name to be me nice. Remember, kids watch and don't be ugly.

Speaker 2:Stevie Nicks.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:That's cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah, stevie Nicks.
Speaker 2:That's cool. Okay, I want the hair and everything.
Speaker 1:I found you a Stevie Nicks shirt. Would you want it? It's like dreams.
Speaker 2:Where is it?

Speaker 2:Why is it not here? It's got what's got. I don't know if you like it's got the lyrics of it. It's like on the back of it. It's got like a dream yes, it is so cool.
Speaker 1:Why would it? Why? Okay, I don't have it. I didn't know, I just had a birthday. Okay, well, I'll work on it then. But since you've been gone, what's been going on?
Speaker 2:all right, a minecraft movie controversy a little controversy. It has prompt theaters to issue warnings against disruptive behavior. Now, before I go into this story, let me tell you this real quick. When I picked up my daughter on Friday, I usually get her directly after school, but her daddy and her have this thing where they go to the movies. They love to do that together.
Speaker 1:Sure.
Speaker 2:And I want her to always have those memories. So I was like, okay, I'll pick her up after the movie. So I drove, they went to the Minecraft. I said, hey, how was it? When they got out, her daddy said that is the most fun I have ever had at the movies ever.
Speaker 2:He said the kids clapped, they cheered, they were loud, they were repeating all of the famous sayings. They loved it, they loved it. So here's the story Social media videos of rowdy viewers clapping, shouting and throwing popcorn during key scenes when Jack Black does. I Am Steve. Have you seen that? No, okay, we'll pull it up on the break.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'll pull it up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's gone viral and it's sparking a disruptive trend.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so notices at theaters emphasize a zero tolerance policy for disruptive actions like loud screaming and clapping, threatening removal without refunds well, the reason is they're saying it's bothering some of the other people in there who aren't as into it as the kids are, and I think that's a shame.
Speaker 2:Kids are just having fun um, okay, what was the movie wicked? Same thing people were getting tossed out for singing too loud.
Speaker 1:The Taylor Swift movie. Taylor Swift Same thing.
Speaker 2:Did you hear me be quiet during Taylor Swift? Nope, no, and I had the time of my life.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't think you should limit kids. No, look, there's not a lot. We don't have play places anymore. We don't have McDonald's.
Speaker 1:Yeah, ball pits.
Speaker 2:We don't have McDonald's ball pits. Let these kids have fun. They're little one time.
Speaker 1:Okay, here's a little shout out to the movie theaters. Think back about five years ago. The movie theaters died. Were dead Because people stayed home because of COVID, and it's just now. The movies are just not coming back to be a thing to do again. You better not do stuff like this or you're going to push people away again. Let them have fun. Let them have fun. There's others in there, but give everybody a heads up that there's a good chance the kids will be clapping and singing and having fun.
Speaker 2:And if you're a grumpy goose and you.
Speaker 1:A grumpy goose, yeah, oh.
Speaker 2:And you don't want to be in the theaters with kids that do Go to a different movie. Yeah, wait until it streams at home.
Speaker 1:Give it a few days and the crowds will begin dying down and go to like an afternoon movie early matinee.
Speaker 2:Find you a different time, that's not as busy.
Speaker 1:Exactly.
Speaker 2:But let these kids have fun, don't kick them out.
Speaker 1:Don't throw popcorn. Well, Stone, that works with us, works at Premier Cinema. He's one of the managers. And Gadsden he said the same thing. Every showing they had over the weekend was sold out. And I said how were the crowds? He said unbelievable.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:He said you'd walk by one of the theaters and they were making.
Speaker 2:He said at one point we thought we may have to go in and say something. Then they said, no, let them have fun, let them have fun, let them have fun. They're so, you know, especially coming off of St Jude. There's so many bad things that can happen in this world, and why not Enjoy? Let them enjoy themselves, let them be kids, let them be kids.
Speaker 1:Let them make a memory. They'll always remember that.
Speaker 2:Yep Uber releases 2025 lost and found index listing bizarre items found in cars.

Speaker 2:I get that too, and New York City deemed the most forgetful city. I can say that because it's so busy. Unique finds include now these are weird a chainsaw.

Speaker 1:Had to be around Halloween, you would think. Probably a prop for Halloween.
Speaker 2:This one would make me sick, not because it's gross, but because I've been there and this stuff is liquid gold. Yeah, fresh breast milk Whoa.

Speaker 1:How would you leave those man? Where did you have them in the first place?
Speaker 2:I don't know. Maybe they were taking them home to cook them.
Speaker 1:I don't know, maybe they rescued them, maybe, maybe it's the service lobster.
Speaker 2:I have this strong urge to rescue lobsters every time I see them at the grocery store or a restaurant.
Speaker 1:If they weren't so expensive, I'd buy one and set it free.
Speaker 2:I know I'd cut the tape off of it.

Speaker 1:It broke records, like in every country the very first season.
Speaker 2:Adolescence was good, but it left me a little lost.

Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:The episode where the little boy is in the interrogation room with the psychiatrist.
Speaker 2:Yeah.

Speaker 2:But why? I think because people are going to pay it. They're going to pay it and buy them.
Speaker 1:And why not charge more and make more, I guess, so the thinking is now they'll sell less tickets because they're just a little more expensive, so there'll be less the odds of winning will be Ah. Yeah.
Speaker 2:So it goes from $1,303 million to $1,290 million.
Speaker 1:So you're telling me there's a chance. Yeah, please. But even if less people buy, then you still have to have the right numbers. It don't matter how many people are playing the game, you still have to have the right numbers.
Speaker 2:In the right order. In the right order.
Speaker 1:yeah, there's no way, I'm not going to win, no, ever.
Speaker 4:But, it's fun though, fun though 655 mornings with barry and hall here on alabama's country, giant wqsb come on man.
Speaker 1:And then the mornings come on man story a couple is in trouble, a danish chef couple, a danish, I guess they don't know, they don't make danishes. That's kind of where they're from. Uh, they attracted international attention with a forest resort in Sweden. They put this together a retreat that you can go and just relax and enjoy life, get away from things. It's in the forest. They have left the country on the run. They've now been tracked down in Guatemala after going on the run because they didn't pay their taxes and they owed a lot of money.
Speaker 2:Like how much money?
Speaker 1:It says, into the hundreds of thousands. Oh so they went on the run, so fleming, and met m-e-t-t-e. They founded this echo friendly retreat. So when they went to arrest the two there was nobody there. They were gone and they were going through the retreat and found some unusual things. It's a restaurant retreat, all kinds of things. They discovered 158 barrels of human waste. What Left behind? Also, multiple animals were just left there to take care of themselves, but 158 barrels of human waste Barrels. Why they had the barrels of human waste? They're still confused on why.
Speaker 1:Like are we talking like Jack Daniels barrels Like that big they're talking about, like waist-high barrels or like the hazard barrels, the big ones like waist-high. I don't know what they were doing with the human waste, but they were saving it 158 barrels. Why would you have that?
Speaker 2:Are we talking peas and poop?
Speaker 1:Poop Just poop. The whole. Thing.
Speaker 2:Just a combo, a three, a number three. Basically a number three 158 barrels of number three.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and some poor policeman had to count each barrel first of all.
Speaker 2:I guess, hoping to be sure One, two.
Speaker 1:And he had to pop the lid and be sure it's what's in there and you know they kind of had to.
Speaker 2:You know they were confused. They had to empty some of them out and be like what's in here? Yeah, I hope you're not eating breakfast.
Speaker 1:Yeah, their slogan was you can uh feel the call of the wild by coming to our resort. And it was very popular for a while, this retreat, until they began refusing to pay their taxes. So they came to check on them and warn them you've got to pay your taxes or else. And those two just hit the road, they got out of there and went to Guatemala.
Speaker 2:Also, if there's animals there, how do they know it's human?
Speaker 1:waste Ooh.
Speaker 2:How do they know? Did they test it?
Speaker 1:Well, I know, if it's a cat messes in the house, you know it's a cat. There's a difference between a cat and then there's chicken poop.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but what if they've got like caribou out there you don't know what that, you don't know what? Caribou poop smells like?
Speaker 1:No, you really don't. I've never run upon caribou. No, what'd you step in? I got caribou on my shoe. Yeah, wipe it off.
Speaker 2:I guess they didn't have bathrooms to make it a I guess, but why did they keep it in?
Speaker 1:It's an eco-friendly, is what they were treating. Did they want to make it to where people? Uh-huh? I don't. This is very confusing. Why it's in the barrel.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but why did they not?
Speaker 1:Did each person have their own barrel. That stayed there and that was your no.
Speaker 2:I bet they went in like a bucket and then they emptied the bucket into the barrel.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, that's disgusting.
Speaker 2:But like why are you keeping those? Why do you?
Speaker 1:still have those.
Speaker 2:I've gotten.
Speaker 1:I'm just confused on this.
