Stop Bad Service Day & The Ghosting Playbook: Why We’re All Quietly Quitting (and How to Do It Right)

(00:00) Here's today's BT Redux. There's the cars in buy, buy, love. Ha! Well, there you go. (00:09) Yeah. Should have played that one on Valentine's Day. No, I think we needed to play that one yesterday when Larry and Gary were all upset. Yeah, Gary's not upset because he never listens, but... (00:21) The name bromance that they have going on. The Aerie Alliance. That's right. The Aerie Alliance. (00:28) I guess they are Aerians. Perfect. Some things are just meant. And that's one of them. (00:39) It's Hump Day Wednesday. How you doing Emerald Coast? I'm Scather Black. He's Bobby Durrell. (00:46) Yeah, B-Team Morning Show's on the air, brought to you by our friends at Stripes Pub & Grill in Novar, Okaloosa Gas and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. And when I think of sushi, it's one of my favorite snacks. Really? I carry it around in my pocket. (01:01) Oh, yeah. That's one way to do it, I guess. Here, you want some breakfast? No, I'm good. (01:06) It's National Snack Day. I'm good. I'm good. Yeah. (01:09) Yeah, wow, so that's what it is, National Snack Day? Yeah, it's National Snack Day. That's why I brought you some snack and sushi. Yeah, cool. (01:16) Well, I'm glad that eating chips in your car like a raccoon finally got the recognition it deserved. Or sushi. Oh, National Snack Day is that annual reminder that modern adulthood is just a series of tiny crunches between bigger disappointments. Yeah, look, it celebrates the noble art of eating on purpose without the burden of calling it a meal. (01:39) Because, you know, commitment is scary and plates are for people with schedules. But listen, brands will pretend it's about joy while you stand in your kitchen at 2.17pm eating pretzels like you're defusing a bomb. But look, consider it Federally unrecognized holiday for the emotionally efficient. Mm-hmm Yeah, minimal effort maximum salt and just enough dopamine to keep you from emailing your ex All right bear. (02:08) Yeah Yeah, but what do you think bears girlfriends had for snacks I mean what what did they make for snacks before the depression? Bread mainly, you know, that's that's what shit back in those times is, you know, just bread Red because the last one he had was Amish right now. I think so yeah Yeah, it's just basic. Oh, you know what that's perfect because bears real name is Barry so Larry Gary Barry Mm-hmm all of you. (02:38) Yep all the Aryans See It's it's a thing. It's really a thing Zeppelin fool in the rain now on 100.3 k rock oh Queen, tie your mother down on 100.3 K-Rock. I don't like the title of that song. It seems awkward. (02:58) It's very awkward. Very Ed Gein. Speaking of awkward, two chefs right here on the air will be making your lunch on Friday. And one noted cook. (03:10) And one noted cook, Lynn. That's right. That's Lynn Fair at Mid-South Bank, our cook. That's right, she's even head cook. (03:18) Yeah, she's head of the line. Better than, I don't know, Expo. Yeah, exactly. So you got a promotion there, Lynn. (03:27) Yeah, she's still going to cripe about it. You sure she's not Lenary? Yeah, one of the cryin' Aryans. Barry, Larry, and Gary. (03:39) It's the B-Team Morning Show. I'm Skyler Black and he's Bobby Durrell. This morning we continue to roll on through the national holidays and I'll tell you what, there's one thing that we're not going to do on Friday when you stop over to Mid-South Bank for lunch and grab one of our burgers, brats or hot dogs. And that would be provide you with bad service. (03:58) Today is Stop Bad Service Day. Yeah, because apparently nobody thought trying to answer the phone or showing up on time or Just not treating customers like a Speed bump. Yeah, it was a good idea. Yeah All right, folks stop bad service day is that annual little fiction? (04:16) We all agree to pretend might fix the world You know one day where customers speak up managers listen and the guy behind you in line Doesn't act like he's auditioning to be a human traffic GM. Yeah, the idea is simple Call out the nonsense politely, tip like a grown-up, and demand competence without turning into a siren blaring goblin about it. Businesses trot out their best behavior, employees rediscover the ancient art of eye contact, And everybody acts shocked that basic decency works better than sighing and suffering in silence. It's absurd, sure, but so is paying $12 for a sandwich and getting handed regret with lettuce. (05:04) Stop bad service day. We've all had somebody that's been a Wagon of jacks. Yeah. Hey, you know, I will say I'm I think for the most part I'm I'm pretty brutal when it comes to stuff like that when when service is is bad. (05:19) I will I will get to a manager I will get to an executive and and I'm always no, I don't want your free stuff. I don't want anything free That's that's not what this call is about. What action are you taking? How are you correcting this problem? (05:32) I Right. This is how you determine if I'm coming back in the future, but I need to know what's being done, right? You know, I've watched it happen. I'm not asking you to tell me that you fired the employee I'm not but no what what steps what have you put in place? (05:46) How is this not gonna happen again, you know? Oh, well here we'd like to comp your mail. No, I'm paying for my meal. I I am absolutely 100% paying for this meal. (05:57) Yeah, I've seen you do it. Yeah. Stop Bad Service Day. All right. (06:02) It's the B-Team Morning Show. I'm Skyler Black. He's Bobby Durrell. We'll take a break. (06:06) A look at your marine forecast is on the way. Teacher on the Classic Rock Station, 100.3 K-Rock. It's the B-Team Morning Show. Scatter Black and Bobby Durell brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, as well as Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. (06:23) And speaking of teachers, I know that ain't no teachers out there that like hearing bad grammar. And today is National Grammar Day. Oh, that's right, because nothing says party like correcting strangers' commas when your own life's a run-on, sounds. It's a great analogy. (06:42) Isn't it? Yep. Doesn't that kind of sum up the world right now? National Grammar Day is that annual little intervention where we pretend commas are sacred and that your and your aren't interchangeable like cheap beer brands at tailgate. (06:58) Yep. It's a day for the rural followers to stretch their legs, for the rest of us to get lightly scolded by a stranger with a dictionary and unresolved childhood issues, but not because language is dying. Language is a cockroach. It'll outlive all but but because one sloppy sentence can turn Let's eat grandma into a felony. (07:19) Yep. That's right. So consider it a public service announcement with red ink Tidy up your words or they'll tidy you up. Yeah, let's eat comma grandma not let's eat grandma Yeah, those commas can be important. (07:33) What one's dinner one's a felony. I Yeah, do you want to have dinner or do you want to have cannibalism? Take your pick. It's National Grammar Day. (07:45) All right, the BT Morning Show is rolling on this Wednesday morning. Today we're going to see a high up to 76 degrees. and uh... gradually warming up to eighty by saturday mhm wow we'll check that full forecast in just a bit plus local news later on in the hour right now aerosmith and sweet emotion on the classic rock station one hundred point three k rock on the bt morning show with one (08:11) hundred point three k rock the classic rock station on scatter blackies bobby durell and uh... you know what Have you ever seen the rain? No, more like, have you ever seen the sun? No, yeah. (08:22) Because it's National Suns Day. Oh, that's right, because raising a boy into a man wasn't exhausting enough. Oh, we're not talking about the one in the sky, we're talking about... Yeah, we just need a holiday to remind him that he still owes us money. (08:38) Do you remind your boys that? Damn right I do. Every day. Hey, National Son's Day is that little calendar speed bump where everybody pretends they didn't spend the last 11 months telling their boy to figure it out and stop touching the thermostat. (08:54) Yeah. It's a public service announcement disguised as celebration. You call your son, you post the photo where he's not actively committing a misdemeanor and say something heartfelt before your emotional range clamps shut like a rusty bear trap. Yeah, you know, look, the point is to crown him king for a day. (09:10) It's, it's to remember he's still your kid, even if he's six feet tall, eating like a wood chipper and making decisions with confidence of a man holding a man up map upside down. You know, listen, consider it a warmup lap for the real sport. That's loving them anyway, then immediately judging their haircut in silence or lack thereof. Hmm. (09:34) National Sun's Day. There you go. Don't you want to call your mom now? Yeah, you just always give such a warm and fuzzy feeling about that Take a break, look at your local news this coming up, plus local events that we're going to preview upcoming this weekend, including a comedy show at La Sala Events Center over in Navarre, as well as (09:56) Bobby and I being your chef on Friday in South Bank.

B-Team Morning Show, as always, brought to you by our friends at Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Last night you had a bunch of primary elections across the country. (11:11) Folks were keeping an eye on that Democrat primary senatorial race between Tallarico and Jasper Crockett over in Texas. And you had a lot of Republicans that were voting for Crockett because they want to face some loon in the general election. They didn't have enough to get her over the top. Anyway, she blamed her loss on racism. (11:40) Okay. She really did. I'm being serious. Yeah. (11:46) All right. Yeah. Isn't that cute? Sure. (11:52) Coming up this weekend on Friday, Bobby and I will be your chefs. I know we keep talking about it, but it's because we're excited. Yeah, let's go with that. At Mid-South Bank. (12:02) That's right, you've got two chefs on the scene and a noted cook. And a line cook. But, a top line cook that we could find. Yeah, you know, not a bad cook. (12:12) Yeah, by day she's the branch manager of Mid-South Bank in Fort Walton and well, not by day, she's top of the line as a cook. Yep. Hey, just consider it a win that you got that title in. That's right, Chef. (12:30) I think that's a good position for us, Chef. What about you? That sounds like a plan to me, Chef. Bobby and I will be your chefs cooking burgers, brats, and hot dogs on the grill on Friday at Mid-South Bank from 11 till 2 to benefit Trey Dupree and his family. (12:46) Looks like our forecast this Friday is going to be a little more favorable for us than it was last week. Come on out, join us for that. Also, next weekend there's going to be a PAWS fundraiser and supply drive happening at The Retreat on Hollywood Boulevard here in Fort Walton Beach. Free lunch provided by our friends at Lenny's Subs and Grill.

Yeah, you can be the T. (13:51) The T in the LGB. Ouch. I can't think of anything more awful. And then what I don't know I have to find a like somebody somebody named Carrie that spells it weird with like a Q you know Or a Quincy Quincy So it's close, but you know what the hell it's Quincy Quinton Quinny Larry Gary Baird Quentin yeah You know (14:23) what we already have the teeth look it's Larry Gary Barry Tom oh boy We just need Quentin now. I'm going to look on my Facebook friends list and see who has a name that starts with Q. Just right there, embracing the LGBT community.

(15:24) Salmon pants and all. That's right. Larry's never going to live that down. Why does he wear those colored pants? (15:31) Because he can. Because he wants to be part of the LGP. Because we're talking about him now. He sent me some not very nice texts yesterday. (15:42) Larry Hipsch. It's the B-Team Morning Show, 100.3 KROQ, good morning. The Dubob will be back in about 25 minutes with Ask Uncle Bobby here this morning. That's right, the Dubob is back. (15:55) The Dubob is back. It's the B-Team Morning Show, scattered black, and Bobby Durell, yeah, this is Wednesday, isn't it? That's good. That's good. (16:04) At least I know the day of the week. Yeah. It's Wednesday all day, even if it rains. Well, it ain't gonna rain today. (16:11) So it's gonna be Wednesday all day. It's gonna be Wednesday all day. 59 right now, 76 this afternoon. We'll check your full forecast here. (16:18) Just a few short moments, but sounds like you got something exciting to share with the world. No, I just, I got proof that we're all going to hell. that doesn't seem all that exciting now now it's it's i'm sure this is uh... one of the signs of the apocalypse because uh... (16:35) the word swifty you know that the nickname of fans for taylor swift yeah it's it's officially been added to dictionary dot com Oh, come on. That's right. The dictionary now defines Swifty as a fan of the music of Taylor Swift. Editors say a word is only added after meeting certain criteria including being widely used, consistently understood, and likely to last. (16:59) and useful to a broad audience. Now the term's been used by fans for years and even trademarked by Swift herself in 2017, but the new listing makes it officially a recognized word. Swifty joins other fandom names that have made it into dictionaries, including the Bayhive for Beyonce fans and Trekkie for Star Trek fans. The Trekkie thing I understand, right? (17:26) Yeah, and that's that's been a generational thing What do they call Beyonce fans? Bayhive For the love of Pete. Like I said, I'm pretty sure it's a sign of the apocalypse. We are. (17:40) We're going to hell. Yeah, it's kind of the thing though that the LGBT community could really get behind. I'm sure they would. I'm sure they are. (17:48) I bet all four of those guys are behind it. They're probably jumping for joy right now. Well, I mean, Gary hasn't heard about it because he doesn't listen to the show. No, he says he listens to uh, he listens to taylor swift. (18:00) That's right. It's radio. That's right. That's where he is He probably does know about it. (18:03) He's swiftaculous And and you know, uh larry with his salmon pants gets that uh, taylor swift, uh logo on him every time yeah And he gives off those vibes. There's salmon swift By the way, Larry, if you'd like those salmon pants bedazzled and blinged up, take them over to Buy Tomcat Custom Apparel. That's right. They can make you look your best in salmon. (18:30) Whether you're gay or not. You know, there's one guy here waiting for Easter to come so he can start wearing his seersucker suit. You want to guess who that is? Who? (18:41) That's Larry. Oh my God, Larry. I haven't seen it, but I'm positive. He just strikes me as the kind of guy that's got a seersucker suit. (18:49) I wonder what Larry's going to wear on St. Paddy's Day next week. I just think it's great, though, when a Southern lawyer wears a seersucker suit. I can just see him in court now. (19:01) yana if the court would allow it but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but (19:23) but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but It's almost that R.W. sound. Richard Wells. Nah, I'm not the smartest man in the world, but what I do know. (19:39) Richard's got that Georgia sound to him a little bit. Yeah, he sure does. He's not a part of that community. Richard's beloved. (19:48) That's true. Yeah, nobody likes lawyers. That's right. Sorry, Larry. (19:56) Yes, it's not the pants. You can wear whatever the hell kind of pants you want to wear. You're just not going to have any friends. To be clear, it's not me. (20:06) It's you. And speaking of that, we're going to take a break. Not a breakup, but a break. Look at your forecast is coming up next. (20:17) Ask Uncle Bobby in about 20 minutes on the B-Team Morning Show. Skyler Black and Bobby Durell on 100.3 KROQ. there's something about the smell of napalm and the sound of Aussie in the morning. Yeah, let's go with that. (20:31) It's a B-Team Morning Show. Scott Thurblack and Bobby Durrell brought to you by our friends at Stripes Pub and Grill & Navarre and Okaloosa Gas. And Bobby, I've got one quick tidbit to pass along before you get to your story. Oh yeah? (20:44) And I think we absolutely have to give Somebody a shout out this morning. Okay. All right. She is a daily B team morning show listener now Got a wish so Taylor Beyond Taylor, but dr. (21:02) Liz Sager's daughter Sophia Tran is competing the next couple of days down in Orlando they're heading down this afternoon because she's competing in girls state wrestling and And so I just wanted to pass along that good luck to Sophia. Thanks for being a B-Team morning show listener, but I wanted to say best of luck at State. Yeah, you're listening because the parents always have the show on, right? No. (21:29) Actually, that's not true. That's not true. Okay. So she is a legit listener, not by the force of her mother or Will. (21:40) Well, there you go. Well, thank you, Sophia. I appreciate you listening. I might have to get you some B-team swag. (21:45) I told her we would get her a t-shirt. Oh, yeah. Definitely. Also, best of luck to another Choctaw girl that's competing at State this weekend, Mary McKinney. (21:54) So, best of luck to the Indians competing. Girls' State Wrestling coming up starting tomorrow, I believe. It's hard to root for an Indian, but I'll do it. You can plug your nose and do it, Bobby. (22:07) I'll do it. Don't listen to him Sophia. No, no, no, Sophia. You're great. (22:16) You're great. You're great. Love you. You can't help it that your mom chose for you to have a sub-par education, but I mean, you know, I don't blame you. (22:26) I don't blame you. Bobby doesn't know how to give legitimate compliments. They're all backhanded. I'm sure you're making the most of your experience there, and I'm really proud of you going down there. (22:34) Let's kick some tail. Yeah. Pin them fast. I don't know. (22:40) I'm not up with the wrestling lingo either. Yeah, and I'm assuming this is more like collegiate, like Greco-Roman, like she's not showing up in elf boots and a cape, right? I don't think so. I don't think this is quite like Monday Night Raw. (22:55) Although, you could be remembered, Sophia. Just saying. But one guy that does know a bit about wrestling, Frank the Bank, Frank Bennett, he actually watched Sophia a couple weeks ago in regionals or sectionals or whatever they call it a couple rounds back. He was really impressed when I talked to him at the all-sports banquet. (23:16) He said, yeah, Sophia's good. These girls have good technique. Well, it's a little known fact, but Frank the Bank was his wrestling name when he was on circuit. Because he was always money. (23:27) That's right. Thank you to the teller! That's what he used to say all the time. He had a safe hold. (23:34) That's what they called it. It was the vault. He had a time lock on it. Frank the Bank, that's where it came from. (23:47) That's where it came from. Holy smokes. Nobody knew that. He's giving away all the secrets. (23:52) Learning us all. That's right. That's, you know, right after he graduated from Central Western East Michigan or wherever it was. Community College. (24:02) A&T Tech. As the long snapper. Hey, he said he was the long snapper because third-team linebackers don't travel. So if he wanted to travel, snap the damn ball to the punter or the place kick holder. (24:19) But anyway, in all seriousness, best of luck, Sophia. Yeah, seriously, Sophia, best of luck to you. Hope you do well. Interested to hear. (24:26) Keep us posted. Yeah, keep us posted. All right, what else you got? Well, a new study shows that overly personalized ads can actually drive customers away instead of attracting them. (24:38) Researchers have found that when ads are too personal, people start to feel creeped out because it seems like companies are watching their behavior online. And that uncomfortable feeling can make people less likely to trust a brand or buy the product. The reaction usually happens in two steps. People first feel confused about how the company knows so much about them. (24:59) Then they start to think the ad feels like surveillance or spying, which creates a strong, creepy reaction. Now, other surveys back this up. More than half of Americans say personalized ads make them uncomfortable, and many people install ad blockers to avoid them. So, we went too far. (25:20) We did. Maybe we've gone too far with Gary and Larry and Barry. Nah. Okay, we'll keep going. (25:27) Can't go too far with the LGBT community. That's got to be humiliating for them. Yeah, well, maybe they can call in. Maybe they can stick around for advice from Uncle Bobby in four minutes. (25:42) It's the BT Morning Show on 100.3 KROQ. The Classic Rock Station, 100.3 KROQ. It's the BT Morning Show, 749 is the time. I was going to start Ask Uncle Bobby three minutes ago, but Bobby said he needed a little more time, so I figured, you know what, we're having a communication breakdown here. (26:01) Ah, yeah, whatever. We'll just cue this one up for him. It's the BT Morning Show, on 100.3K Rock, Skyler Black and Bobby Durell. Music in the background tells us only one thing. (26:12) It's time for your daily advice from Uncle Bobby. Ask Uncle Bobby weekday mornings, all stitched together by our friends at BuyTomCatCustomApparel. BuyTomCatCustomApparel reminding you this... St. (26:23) Paddy's Day, that shamrocks are optional and good shirts are required. So avoid some pinches, upgrade your wardrobe. Cream today, favorite shirt tomorrow. Feeling lucky, never felt so good. (26:39) So in simpler terms, you can go to buy Tomcat custom apparel. Alright, Uncle Bobby, you got a question today from Captain Slowfade. Dear Uncle Bobby, Is that like crossfade? Oh, different thing. (26:54) Different thing! The question might be a little more strange if that was the case. Alright. Dear Uncle Bobby, I keep noticing friendships ending quietly, with less texting and fewer plans, until it just stops. (27:09) Is ghosting basically the normal way friendships end now, and should I just accept it? Accept it? No. Recognize it as the operating system of modern society? (27:22) Absolutely. The slow fade is not an accident. It's a civilization quietly practicing the emergency exit drill. You know, people think a friendship ends because somebody got busy or changed jobs or started doing yoga at 6 a.m. (27:41) You know, that's the bedtime story they tell themselves so they can sleep at night. The truth is this. Relationships do not end. They evaporate. (27:50) like water on hot asphalt, and everybody acts surprised when the pavement is still there. Look, ghosting is not cruelty, it is mercy with good posture. A clean break makes enemies, but a slow fade makes everyone feel like they chose it, which is the only currency left in polite society. You're not watching friendships die, you're watching people perform a quiet, coordinated retreat like they're evacuating a city before the sirens start. (28:24) Participate, okay? Stop doing the frantic little check-ins that keep a dead friendship on life support like a hospital drama. If someone gives you three one-word replies in a row, you do not respond with warmth, you respond with absence. You do it confidently. (28:43) And if you need closure, don't ask for it like a lost tourist. Build your own. Archive the chat, mute the thread, and let time do the paperwork. Look, every relationship ends by design. (28:57) And the only question is whether you exit with grace or you cling to the railing while the ship is already underwater. Ouch. Harsh reality right there. Man, sometimes you just gotta, you just gotta give it like it is. (29:13) That one deserves the, uh, the Dubob graphic as the truth bomb. All right. If you've got a question for Uncle Bobby, you can email it in. Bobby at dubob.com. (29:24) We do this every morning at 745 or 749 when Bobby decides he's ready. Uh huh. You got nothing, do you? trying to end this relationship. (29:38) All right, we do this every morning. When Bobby wants to during the seven o'clock hour all stitched together by our friends by Tomcat custom apparel. Quick break motley crew on the way next on 100.3 k rock Blue Oyster Cults and Burden For You. Speaking of a cult and burning, hey kids, nothing... (30:02) If you're burning for her, maybe you need some penicillin. Yeah, consult your doctor. Just saying. Also on that front of burning, hey kids, nothing good can come from trying the fire-breathing social media trend. (30:16) Oh, yeah. Authorities are warning parents about a dangerous fire-breathing social media trend that has already sent at least one teenager to the hospital. The stun involves kids trying to blow flames using flammable liquids like isopropyl alcohol or nail polish remover. What's the the word dumb? (30:40) Yeah, I think it's pronounced Dumas. That's it. Yeah. So you know, that's, you know, I had a story like that. (30:47) That was one of my one of my first calls as an EMT. what you've got was mister do you mind i was in i was into it was in a trailer park and i'm pretty sure the words hey y'all home a beer and watch this what cited right before that's right yet jet billy bob joe general told his friends he says you know what i'm brief fire mary sonny bob elrod looked at him and said billy bob joe general there's no way you can breathe fire he said i can too watch Well, you know, the professionals that do it use usually like Everclear or something like that, right? Some corn alcohol. (31:26) Well, all he could find was Zippo lighter fluid. Oh my God. So he puts some Zippo fluid in his mouth, goes click, click, and then he goes, you dumbass. Third degree burns in his mouth. (31:40) Oh my God. Second degree burns across his face. It was terrible. When I got there, he was holding the Miller Lite in a Marlboro. (31:48) Still! Still. And that, since that day, I have not been able to drink Miller Lite. I see Miller Lite and I immediately get that burning flesh smell back in my nose. (32:00) That has got to be awful. You know, we know of, everybody knows somebody that's had some sort of terrible burn accident, right? But not by choice. Yeah. (32:16) Yeah, yeah. And one recent case in the state of Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, or Jim, if you're listening this morning, a teen attempting the trend suffered serious burns to her face and chest and had to be intubated, and officials say her injuries could actually be life-altering. Fire officials say the challenge is extremely risky. Who would have thought? (32:41) Because the chemicals are highly flammable and the flames can spread quickly. Yeah, potentially burning the person, igniting a building, or even being inhaled into the lungs. It's just crazy to me that breathing fire would be dangerous. It's the stupidest idea you can do. (33:01) Because the materials involved are common household items, officials are urging parents to monitor things like rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, lighters and matches, and to talk with their kids about the dangers of copying viral online stunts. So, oh, the one thing they didn't list on there that they didn't say was dangerous would be like charcoal lighter fluid. Yeah, Zippo. Yeah, charcoal. (33:25) Yeah, so go ahead and try that if you think that's a good idea. God. Yeah, what's the worst that could happen? Tell you what, if you do that, then you come on in and tell us how it went. (33:37) Yeah, yeah. I need you to enunciate a little bit more. It's just that's just so stupid And just remember when those kids turn 18 their vote counts as much as yours. Yeah, we should really fix that It's a BT Mordechai show on 100.3K. (34:04) What was it yesterday after we talked about people having the same voting rights as us? You said, I've never fought for illegals more in my life. I know, right? God, it's just sickening. (34:19) The stupidity is sickening. Golden Earring, Twilight Zone. One of the biggest rock duets of the 80s is Bryan Adams and Tina Turner, It's Only Love on the Classic Rock Station. 100.3k rock, Skylar Black and Bobby Durell on a Wednesday morning. (34:41) Happy hump day. Happy hump day. Camels are out. Not talking about the camel that ran for president two years ago. (34:51) Oh, I thought you were talking about with it warming up in their toes, but anyway. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're starting to see more of those on spring break this week, aren't we? Yay. (35:04) 65 degrees and fair skies, 76 in the forecast here this afternoon. Don't forget, Friday from 11 till 2. Bobby and I are chefs. Mid-South Bank, corner of Beale and Carmel, right here in Fort Walton. (35:18) Stop on by, get a burger brat or hot dog, plus chips and a drink for seven bucks. And of course, our head line cook, Lynn Fair, will be there as well from Mid-South Bank. So we're not quite all on the same level, but Lynn's there. She's trying. (35:35) She's on top of her heap. That's right. Come on out and join us as we cook out for Trey Dupree on Friday, a fundraiser for him. Don't miss out, beautiful weather in the forecast of sunshine 76 on Friday, so we will take it. (35:50) Absolutely. Also, Bobby, we are just over three weeks out from the annual Poker Run motorcycle ride that is hosted by the Diceville American Legion, this year benefiting the Ark of the Emerald Coast. Now this is for motorcycles and for cars, so if you've got a Jeep, you've got a convertible, I don't care if you've got a 96 Dodge Caravan, you're welcome to join in the poker run on Saturday, March 28th. It's going to be $15 per rider and $10 per passenger to enter. (36:24) And they're going to have dozens of prizes that you can win, including a 2005 Honda Shadow 750 chopper that they're going to be giving away in the raffle. Oh, there you go. I know. If you show up in your 96 Dodge Caravan, you may end up leaving with a bike if you buy some raffle tickets and win. (36:43) So it's that simple. That is simple. Yeah. That's what we try to do. (36:47) We try to keep it simple so that people like me can understand. We've got all the details on that on the events tab at the LGBT website. For you. Yeah. (37:01) Gary, Larry, Barry. Yeah. Tom. The place that Gary always goes. (37:08) Yeah. Just visit thebteamshow.com. By the way, there is going to be that supply and fundraiser drive for PAWS next Saturday, March 14th. at the retreat here in Fort Walton Beach, and there's a story here. (37:26) Research now suggests that pet owners, especially dog owners, tend to have better overall health. One big reason is that dogs encourage people to exercise more. God bless you. Yeah, go ahead. (37:41) You alright? Yeah, I'm going to make it. Now, since owners often walk them regularly, that extra activity can improve heart health, weight, and blood sugar control. So maybe that's why you've got diabetes now. (37:53) Yeah. Don't have a dog anymore. Now, pets can also help reduce stress and loneliness. Interacting with animals has been shown to lower stress hormones and boost mood-related chemicals, which can improve mental health. (38:05) Some studies also show that older adults with pets may experience slower cognitive decline and better emotional well-being because pets provide companionship and routine. Experts say the benefits aren't guaranteed, of course. People who own pets often already have healthier lifestyles or higher incomes, which may partly explain why they live longer. So in other words, pets help, but they're not a magic longevity fix. (38:30) Well, so you know, that's interesting because I got a little different take on almost the same story. Really? Yeah. Okay, let's hear it. (38:38) So you keep saying pets interchangeably, like dogs and cats, pets. Well, that's what it says in the story. Okay, but, you know, according to the Daily Mail, and we know this, but your cat doesn't care about you. And cats rarely help owners. (38:54) Your cat probably is not going to return the favor for all the care you give it. Researchers studying cat behavior found that cats rarely try to help their owners, even when a person clearly needs assistance. In experiments where owners struggled with a task, like trying to open a container, most cats simply watched or ignored the situation rather than stepping in. Now, the reason scientists say is that cats are naturally independent animals, unlike dogs, which evolved to work closely with humans. (39:24) Cats are still capable predators that can survive on their own, so they don't rely on people for protection, guidance, or emotional support. So in short, experts say cats can still enjoy living with people and form friendly relationships, But they don't see humans as someone they need to help or depend on, which is why they often appear aloof compared to dogs. Interesting. Yeah. (39:46) So your cat doesn't give a crap? No, it craps a lot. Got a litter box to prove that one. The cats think they're in charge of the house. (39:55) I'm pretty sure. But haven't dogs been like domesticated a lot longer than domestic cats? Yeah. Yeah, but I definitely see the point. (40:06) It's not like it was 20 years ago. No, no, no. But one thing cats are really good at is just knocking things off the table for you. So if you have trouble opening a jar, just set it on the counter, the cat can knock it off and break it for you. (40:21) Then you can get into that jar. It's just all in your strategy. You know, your strategy. It's 829. (41:03) This is the B-Team Morning Show on 100.3k Rock. Skyler Black and Bobby Durell on a Wednesday morning with a look at weather coming up next. Give me some water. Or give me some butter. (41:17) Did you see this story? No. Some parents are giving their toddlers sticks of raw butter as a snack. Sounds like some Iowa crap if I ever heard it. (41:27) Claiming it's healthier than processed foods. Now get this, Bobby. A Florida mom. One mom featured, Angela Campbell from Orlando, says her 17-month-old daughter loves butter and even asked for it. (41:42) The family buys grass-fed butter from New Zealand that costs about $11.99, and the toddler eats it straight, just like a snack. Parents say butter contains healthy fats and vitamins that can help with brain development, digestion, sleep, and skin health. The idea is part of a broader trend where parents feed kids more whole foods like meat, eggs, and dairy instead of packaged snacks. But critics online say the trend is weird or unsafe, and some pediatric experts warn that butter should only be eaten in moderation and could even be a choking risk if toddlers eat it by itself. (42:21) That is one thing I've never really had, is just a stick of butter for a snack. You never had a deep-fried butter? Didn't do the deep-frying thing. Oh, okay. (42:31) I didn't. I wanted to live another year or so. Yeah, I can't. No. (42:38) How many calories do you think are in a stick of deep-fried butter? I have no idea. Too many. Because what do they do? (42:44) They basically dip it in like cornmeal, right? Yeah, they roll it in cornmeal or something and then deep fry it real quick. God, it sounds awful. It just sounds terrible. (42:55) Now, if you put a little syrup on it, I bet it would be pretty good. Oh, God. Now you sound like John Holguin. John Holguin does like his syrup. (43:04) Yeah, so I guess that makes it the LGBTJ community for us. You can just give him the honorary cue. It's a B-Team morning show. Scatterblank and Bobby Durrell getting out of here in about 10 minutes. (43:28) We're going to lay it on the line with Triumph now on 100.3 k-rock. There's the cars on 100.3 k-rock. We're going to let them roll without us the rest of the day, at least here on the radio. We're done. (43:43) B-Team Morning Show, out. Bye. I want to thank our sponsors, including But not limited to Stripes Pub and Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas at Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. We will do this thing again tomorrow. (43:59) Yeah, on a Friday Eve version of the show. I'm Skyler Black, Bobby Durrell. Get us out. Hey folks, thanks for listening to the B-Team Morning Show, your leading alternative to quality programming right here on the Emerald Coast. (44:11) Now, we know you have a choice in what you listen to each and every day, and we appreciate the fact that you settled in on this wild ride that we call a morning show. But it's come that time of day, we gotta mosey on out of here. So you keep on rockin', keep on rollin'. Never settle for the ordinary. (44:24) Till the next time, the B-Team is out. And that's a wrap on today's B-Team Redux.
