Good evening everybody. Welcome again to the Boone Show on MyPulse Radio. I'm John Boone. The boss, Holly Harrell, is here, Hello.
Speaker 2:How many weeks is this in a row?
Speaker 1:now Three, I know We've got a streak going.
Speaker 2:Is it three?
Speaker 1:I don't know about next week though.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm still working on that. Okay, but we've got one more after that and our special guest in studio tonight, the one and only principal of palmetto high school, mr robbie roach. How are you, sir, doing well? Thanks for having me all right. Thanks for coming in. Everybody on camera, right, holly I, I can't see it.
Speaker 2:I can't see you either. You know, I'd like to be able to talk and see and use my hands.
Speaker 1:Let me see something here. Let's something.
Speaker 2:You would have think he had been prepared prior to the show starting you would have thought.
Speaker 1:But then Robbie Roach is distracting me with these things that the kids are doing all these days. It's on their phones, no less. Hold on a second.
Speaker 3:Not at Palmetto High. That's illegal.
Speaker 2:No phones, right that's right Against the law.
Speaker 1:That's right. Sorry about this, everybody.
Speaker 2:It would help. So, Robbie, how are you, sir? I'm good. How's school going?
Speaker 3:It's going well. It's going well.
Speaker 2:Getting to the end of the year, yeah, yeah, everybody's excited, ready to wrap it up.
Speaker 3:There we go.
Speaker 1:All right, all right, we're ready now. I'm sorry, I got really wrapped up in some things. I shouldn't have to begin the show, but now we are streaming. See, I got to get used to this new thing with the video streaming that I have to start that and the audio at the same time. So now we're doing it, and so let's talk to Mr Roach here a little bit. We try to have the principals on. If you've been around the program at all over the last five years, holly?
Speaker 2:Five years, that's a long dang time.
Speaker 1:Five years we try to have the principals on at the end of the year, do kind of a wrap-up of how the year has gone at their high school and have some fun while they're here. So, Mr Roach, what's going on over there in Palmetto? I know your baseball team's in the playoffs because you're going. Are you going over there to crescent tonight?
Speaker 3:I'm planning on it. I am starts at seven, so I have plenty of time um soccer one soccer girls and boys have won. So, uh, you know we're. We're in the playoffs for that too. So it's an exciting time, really busy in the spring sports. But yeah, you know we, we knew what we were signing up for when we took these jobs.
Speaker 1:How's football coming along? I know that's been a growing process there, a building process. I should say Whoops. Sorry, I'm having a day here. I know you are.
Speaker 3:And I'm glad you mentioned it, because I just talked to somebody today and I told them that you know we're not only excited about Coach Norton and his crew, but you know we're not only excited about coach Norton and his crew, but, uh, you know we're, we're committed that they're. They're the crew that we need at Palmetto High to really get the program growing and we've seen it improve in just a short amount of time they've been there and we expect more of that yeah, it's, it's interesting.
Speaker 1:I only made it to. I think we only covered one game last year, just the way the schedule worked out, and I think I mentioned to you last year that it just seems like the whole attitude has changed, the culture is changing and then once you get that winning culture in there, the wins will follow Definitely.
Speaker 3:There's definitely a lot of positivity going on. You know we see the coaches coaching hard. You know whether we're up big or we're down big, they're still coaching hard, right to the end. And you know the kids are committed to them. So it's been a good thing, yeah.
Speaker 2:How does this whole end of the year ending early affect athletics? Because you know before we started later and so you had more time in May. How does this affect athletics?
Speaker 3:It does have an impact because baseball and softball, for instance, if they were to make a run and make it to state finals, that takes place after our actual graduation ceremony, wow. So yeah, I mean it definitely has an effect because you know you have families making plans. Obviously, if you have a senior that's graduating, you may just decide okay, I'm going to make plans for the day after.
Speaker 3:Well, if your senior was playing one of those sports. Your plans get changed all of a sudden, so it's definitely had an impact. It has an impact on how much football you get into because of spring sports school's our size we have so many people playing multiple sports that you don't get everybody out there. You don't get the time with them that you would hope you'd get, but hopefully all those guys are committed to coming to summer workouts and we make it up that way.
Speaker 1:Yeah Well, at least you're not like Limestone, where their poor baseball team is playing and the school's not even there anymore.
Speaker 4:That's true, it could get a tough situation for them.
Speaker 1:I can imagine we had a kid in our class that had committed to wrestle there.
Speaker 2:At Limestone.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and of course, had to pull his commitment and find somewhere else to go. I think he's going to PC now, but just rough for a lot of people, that whole situation, but that's a whole different topic. What about, academically, some of the things that have gone on at Palmetto this year?
Speaker 3:I tell you we found tremendous success in Algebra 1. That's something we celebrated pretty much the whole year. After we got those results, we were able to take the algebra teachers and miss houston's, you know an experienced teacher that kind of coached them up through some things, and we're able to take them down and present to the um, the entire state am I still on here? Yeah, you're, you're good, that's just the headphones the entire state's instructional leaders. So that was a good thing.
Speaker 3:You know, it's basically a chance to share. Hey, this is what we did and it worked. And we've seen some pretty decent gains in US history here in the spring, because that wasn't quite where we wanted it to go in the first semester. So we're pretty committed to the PLC process. You know, solution tree. We're a model PLC school, so that collaboration has made all the difference for our teachers and the fact that as administrators we've actually, you know, had to back up a little bit and say, okay, I'm not going to be in control of everything, which is a little bit of an issue for me I can admit I have some control issues, but you know, kind of give some of that to the teachers and this made a huge difference.
Speaker 2:So do you see a difference between when we were a seven-period, eight-period day, block day, compared to where we're at now, into the four-by-four?
Speaker 3:I do into the four by four I do. I think this lends itself to a little more success for us doing that AB schedule. That was tough on kids and adults Just having that many people you're dealing with. You know, now students are basically dealing with three or four adults at one time as opposed to seven or eight, and now just kind of simple things, simplified things for everybody, and I think it's been better for us that's great good news.
Speaker 1:Um, so how about the growth of the school, the whole school system? Obviously we talked. We talked before previously. We've been on. They've got a big middle school over there now and of course they're going to feed into the high school. How's the high school growing?
Speaker 3:definitely. Um has increased significantly. We we have our biggest enrollment ever, about 1290. I mean not 1290, geez I I couldn't handle that 1090. But our graduating class is, you know, over 250, which is, you know, much more than it's ever been. So so I mean, it's a good thing, it's a good problem to have, but we're out of space. So you know that's another challenge we'll be facing, pretty much using every classroom space, every office space in the building. Now.
Speaker 1:So explain where you go as far as planning, and I guess you know working with the district. Where do you go when you know you're running out of space and you have to plan for the future? What are the plans for the future? I mean how far off before you have people out going to class in tents or trailers or whatever they've got to go?
Speaker 4:Portables.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know, I was just kind of using my great sense of humor.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the portables are definitely not ideal. You know we would, Using my great sense of humor the portables are definitely not ideal. We would seek ways to kind of share classroom space and that kind of stuff before we went to portables, if we could. And one of the things I did my first year as a teacher is I had a little cart and I put some bling bling on it and I bounced around. I was what they called a floater.
Speaker 3:So I bounced around the different classrooms and that's how I did it, because I didn't have my own classroom. So that's not ideal either, but you know that's a way to make it work until a building plan gets into place. And you know, I think that's kind of on the horizon, probably more of a superintendent question than a principal question, because you know I have ideas of you know I feel like you know new high schools definitely do, and Palmetto should be the priority over the other two because we're just better there you go, there you go.
Speaker 2:It's a good approach.
Speaker 1:So, but you know, you look everywhere and you see houses being shoehorned in no matter where you go in this area.
Speaker 2:Especially Williamston.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're everywhere I mean they're literally if you see an open lot, it's not long until there's a house sitting there. So the whole population, the school population, is really coming on for Palmetto, and in the past there's been growth, but now that's like an explosion of it.
Speaker 3:Absolutely, and it's, and it's happening everywhere. It's not just here, right? You know random powdersville, they feel it too. So, uh, it's. It's just an overall issue that we're all trying to navigate which is a great issue. Everybody wants to be in district one, absolutely, absolutely, which we understand and you know, looking nationwide, everybody I mean it seems like people from lots of other states want to come to South Carolina.
Speaker 1:Yeah yeah, you know I was talking to some of the kids about that. They don't realize what a good state they live in. Sometimes, when you grow up someplace, you're like you can't wait to get out. But you know, I grew up in New Jersey, so come on.
Speaker 2:You're ready to go? I'm ready to go.
Speaker 1:But here I mean South Carolina has a little bit of everything. I mean we're right near metro areas, we're near mountains, we're near ocean, all that stuff. You know you could be living in Nebraska or somewhere, so yeah, it's a place that everybody wants to live and the whole area is exploding in growth and boy, I just you know there's going to be a lot of kids that are going to be placed in schools.
Speaker 1:I don't know how they're going to do it to keep up with the rate of growth, because I just see so many of these places exploding in growth, but they'll find a way, I'm sure. Um, we'll talk more with uh principal robbie roach coming up. In fact, we're gonna go a little lighthearted. We like to have some fun. He's one that we can have fun with.
Speaker 2:He is absolutely. He likes a laugh. He didn't bring the quail eggs this time, no, no.
Speaker 1:I was trying to think of something we could taste test with him. I just couldn't get out to get it Because there's a lot of weird stuff on the market right now.
Speaker 2:And Robbie would be the one you would do it, wouldn't you?
Speaker 3:Robbie, I would, and it's funny you mention it, because when I was leaving the house this morning I was thinking I should have planned better and went by Happy Cow, because you know they have a whole new setup now.
Speaker 2:I know I haven't been out there yet. Is it great.
Speaker 3:It is so nice and it crossed my mind, I should have went by there.
Speaker 2:They have a fantastic dessert that that's like in a mason jar, and I could have brought a sampler you could have.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry, like why did you even tell us that?
Speaker 2:now. Yeah, well, it's kind of torture.
Speaker 1:Yeah, to kick off next year we're gonna have to kick it off when we'll have a whole food show yes, we will just taste a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1:Count me in, okay sounds good, but when we come back we have the annual student questions for you. Uh, only got a few this year. We'll see see what the students want to ask their principal all from Palmetto students. And then we have a couple other things that have popped up that everybody's talking about. That we'll have some fun with too. Later on in the show, roy Costner is the chairman of the South Carolina Entertainment and Music Hall of Fame will be with us to tell us about a special show coming up this weekend. Of course, zach will be along with sports and Robbie will have his entertainment and food recommendations all coming up on the Boone Show on my False Radio.

Speaker 1:And we're back on the Boone Show on my Balls Radio. Happy, you're with us. We're with Robbie Roach, the principal of Palmetto High School, and it's time, ladies and gentlemen, I've got to get theme songs for all this. We've got to get a producer back.
Speaker 2:We just got a producer this year, for sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah. And we have to have one that brings food to like mckenzie? Yes, absolutely I agree, because colt, he didn't bring food and he was out here. Yeah, we got to get somebody that can take care of us. Yes, uh, anyway, here are the questions, um, from some of our junior and well, mostly junior students that have given us this year only five, so it won't take too much time, but uh, first off, mr Roach, what inspired you to become a principal? That's a nice boring question.
Speaker 3:Good question.
Speaker 1:Go ahead.
Speaker 3:I would say when I was in high school I wasn't crazy about school. I joined the military and while I was in the military I actually trained some people and stuff and that kind of got me thinking maybe I should be a teacher. So then when I got out, I went to Clemson, became a teacher. While I was teaching and coaching, it just kind of. I mean, it didn't take long to figure out that, hey, I have ideas about how some things you know probably should go. So I want to have some influence on how things will go in the schools I work in. So that's when I started pursuing leadership and, of course, once I got into certification as an administrator, all I ever wanted to do was come back to Palmetto because that's where I graduated. I had a fantastic high school experience. I loved it.
Speaker 3:I just wasn't crazy about the classes you know the classes, but yeah, once I got there, you know, got the certification, it was kind of like I want to go back to my school and, you know, try to make it as enjoyable for people as it was for me.
Speaker 1:How many years you've been there now uh, this is my 13th year there.
Speaker 3:Uh, 11th as principal. All right, just finished.
Speaker 1:That's pretty cool, just just returning home, um, and the next thing is sometimes plays into why you want to become a principal. In fact, it it played into when we had um whitfield on a couple weeks ago, for in ren and that was uh. What were you like as a student?
Speaker 3:oh yeah well, I was not. I mean, in all honesty, I was not the best student. Um, I would. Well, I'll tell you something. This kind of coins it. Um, just three years ago, we did a renovation of the offices. Prior to that, I was in the very office that was the principal's office when I was a student. Well, I was actually paddled in the very office that I worked out of, and when I started as principal, I had actually been paddled by a sitting board member before.
Speaker 3:Dr Atkins was the seventh grade assistant principal when I went through middle school. And yeah, he had a chance to redirect me, but I often needed redirection.
Speaker 2:So did this happen early, like ninth, tenth grade, or that lasted all the way through your senior year?
Speaker 3:I pretty much got paddled every year.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Should I even ask why?
Speaker 3:Yeah, there's a variety of reasons. I think the last one was the use of some profane language, which is something we still address with students that we don't appreciate in the hallways.
Speaker 1:That's right. You haven't had the opportunity to paddle any, though.
Speaker 3:I don't do it, but Dr Jones will do it.
Speaker 1:We still do it in Anderson. It's still legal, yeah.
Speaker 3:And we have a handful of parents each year that will you know sign a paper and say, yeah, I want this to be an option for my kid. I'll tell you 90 of the time, though, when the parent signs that that kid doesn't present any problem, exactly, they don't want dr jones to take a swing on them wow wow okay, next question uh, what gave you the idea to do the big Mustang announcements?
Speaker 1:I don't even know what that is. I don't either Tell us what it is.
Speaker 3:So I'm just silly for one thing, and I probably shouldn't have access to a loudspeaker. But you know, one year there's just some nonsense going on. So I decided that, you know, I was going to do something I called Life Principles with the Principal and I wrote this little fable and said you know, I kind of go over with the kids, you know.
Speaker 3:All right, I'm going to share a fable with you and I even define it for them, because some of them don't remember what a fable is, and when I talk about it I refer to myself as Big Mustang.
Speaker 3:Oh, okay, and you know I'm in charge of a canyon full of little Mustangs and sometimes the little Mustangs get infiltrated with some little donkeys and you know the little donkeys do some silly things and I've used examples. Like you know, some of the little boy donkeys would like to wear their little sister shorts and nobody wanted to see that. To address dress code issues I've used things like telling them that the little donkeys that vape always store them in their underwear. So it's like you put your face in somebody's underwear if you share their vape.
Speaker 3:Which is true a variety of ways of uh, you know, trying to get them to understand some things, uh doing little fables yeah, well, that see.
Speaker 1:Now one of the other questions makes more sense that we can just piggyback off of that. Uh, what made you think of the fables? When something bad has happened, it's always when something bad has happened, the principal comes on with the fable. That's awesome. I mean I love it. I've heard I know you've been doing this for several years now, because I've heard at different times from students and they have varying responses to it, but I think it's great.
Speaker 2:I didn't know. It was called Big Mustang.
Speaker 1:I didn't either.
Speaker 3:Well, and I just you know, I 100% know that I think I'm funnier than most people, probably do but when I write the little fables, you know I'm really cracking myself up a lot.
Speaker 2:And you know what's funny is you and your other administrators are opposite, which makes such a great administration when that happens, isn't it? I mean I say that all the time. You don't want somebody just like you sitting next to you, you want somebody that's totally opposite than you. So you have that. So y'all have a really good dynamic over there. Thank you.
Speaker 1:All right, the last question. I know this isn't along the subject lines that are your most favorite. It's not about pajamas, which is another one of the ones that Principal Roach gives.
Speaker 2:Is there a fable about pajamas? I'm sure there was. There was.
Speaker 3:Yeah, there definitely was. At one time I would have to look through my notes to find out exactly what the message was.
Speaker 1:His response whatever it was, was always legendary because the kids were always talking about it.
Speaker 3:He hates the pajamas yeah, I was not a fan of pajamas and it took me forever to come around the hats, but I did, yeah, yeah all right.
Speaker 1:So what's the most creative senior prank you've ever seen, and do you remember what year that was? I know there's been some nasty ones, but what's been the?
Speaker 3:most creative. I would say the most creative was the year that a bunch of them decided we're going to bring tents and just camp out on the lawn and in the parking lot. Whenever we get there, they have their grills set up. They're making eggs and bacon.
Speaker 3:That was pretty fun and harmless and you know that was pretty fun and harmless. You know, part of the issue with this year even being able to do anything is the fact that last year some people actually, you know, got their way into the school and they made a mess and you know that kind of ruined it for everybody. There were a bunch of donkeys last year, a lot of little donkeys.
Speaker 2:Was there a fable that came from this year?
Speaker 3:No, it was after the fact it was I'll tell you one thing I will mention about pajamas. Though it's kind of an urban legend, it goes around the school that I only started allowing pajamas whenever one of the little mustangs actually was one the one that lives in the house with me, and some people say that, you know, once she got there she convinced me to let them wear pajamas right, so is that true well, I mean, they do wear pajamas now they do all right, it's gonna be a senior next year there's a couple of fun things that are going on in social media etc.
Speaker 1:And and chat. Gpt is, which I tell my kids because we use it for some things. It helps get things done quicker in some cases when we're writing scripts or doing research or whatever a lot quicker than the encyclopedia britannica that I grew up with. But uh, anyway, um, I call it your friend chad jepiti. So did you work on this with your friend chad friend Chad Jepiti? So did you work on this with your friend Chad Chad Jepiti? Yes, a lot of laughs and maybe a lot of crickets in the background, but there's this thing where you get to load a photo in and then ask Chad Jepiti to roast the people in the photo. Yep, and Mr Roach here was actually the one that recommended doing this on the show today. Oh, because he said some fun with it. Tell us some about that, whatever you can, because it is kind of a fun thing.
Speaker 3:All right, so I'll start with you, with you know, first one I did was me and my daughter and and my wife and my wife was holding a little dog. So it started off with referring to my daughter. It says looking like a disney princess who just found out her prince only has a honda civic. Her lace dress says sunday brunch, but that side eye says I saw what you texted at 2 am so I thought that was pretty good, mm-hmm amazingly accurate that one.
Speaker 3:For my wife it says that smiles hiding 30 years of I told you so and a mental list of everyone who didn't RSVP to her last barbecue seems pretty accurate for mine. It said Santa took the summer off and hit up a few too many buffets tell them what the other one was that, uh, that was also you.
Speaker 3:It was a little rude on me. The other one, perhaps my favorite, is um, and on this one I had to actually put in go scorched earth on me and my golf buddies. And on this one it says uh, let me find it. It says built like a meat smoker and breathes like brisket, probably pitched a cooking show to Food Network titled Grill Daddy Deluxe and got blocked. Grill Daddy Deluxe Lives off of gas station. Jerky and misplaced pride. That was my favorite of myself. There's some other favorites of some other people, wow.
Speaker 1:Holly's done this as well, and I threw a picture in there too. I couldn't find a good formal family photo, but I had one of everybody on the bleachers watching one of our kids football game. We'll get to that shortly, but on the line now we have zach. How are you zach?
Speaker 6:I'm doing good. How are you?
Speaker 1:good, good, good. What is going on in the sports world, my friend, Well, Clemson had a big announcement today.
Speaker 6:I'm not sure if you or Holly saw it, but from 2027, starting in 2027 to the year 2038, Clemson and Notre Dame are playing each other in football every year.
Speaker 1:Wow, 10 years Every year, every year. That's 10 years Every year.
Speaker 6:Every year.
Speaker 2:That's going to get expensive.
Speaker 6:So I think in 20, let's see, I think I've seen in 2029, they'll play Notre Dame, Georgia, south Carolina. They'll have a home-and-home with Georgia in 29 and 30. And then I think in 34, 35, it's a home-and-home with Oklahoma. So you've got LSU the next two years, this year, next year, home-and-home, Then Notre Dame cranks up and then at 29-30, it's the Georgia home-and-home and then 34-35 is Oklahoma home-and-home and they were playing Oklahoma State, I believe, in like 37, 38, but that got canceled when COVID happened and everything and they never did reschedule it. So that's really the biggest news.
Speaker 1:All right Well that's good for the schedule, especially when you're trying to make the playoffs.
Speaker 6:Yeah, yeah, that's right. And then, I guess, major league news. Hopefully the Braves are starting to find some heat a little bit. They just can't seem to. They either win a series or they win one game of the series.
Speaker 7:It's still early.
Speaker 6:Yeah, that's the thing about baseball it's very, very early, and then so hopefully we play the Reds again tonight. We won 40-0 last night. I hated to see the left fielder for the Reds go down. I don't know if you've seen that or seen the video.
Speaker 6:It was a rookie left fielder for the Reds who was replacing already injured left fielder and Matt Olsen hit a ball down the left field line. He caught the ball when. And Matt Olsen hit a ball down the left field line. He caught the ball. When he caught the ball he was running full speed and his arm come up against the wall and you know the rest Broke his arm and everything. It was inside the park. Home run for Matt Olsen. There was a big stink about it. Well, he should have been dead and whatever. It's kind of hard to tell. It's really kind of hard to tell. Don't know how I would feel if it was the brave, if it was against the braves. You know how people would feel if it was their team. But you can't just blow, you know, like in basketball. I mean, if a player gets injured on the other side of the court, you know they just continue playing to the next team scores, next dead ball and then it's a dead ball.
Speaker 6:So but but, other than that really there's. There's really not a whole lot going on. As far as you know, college baseball is winding down a little bit and Clemson's kind of hit a little bit of a cold spell. They play at number eight, coastal Carolina tonight and so Coastal Carolina got them when they come up here and so they kind of hit a cold spell. They're two and let's see two and five in their last seven. I think it is yeah, they're two and five in their last seven. They beat georgia midweek, got swept at nc state and florida state took two or three from them this past weekend and run ruled them on sunday.
Speaker 6:So you never can tell about baseball. I mean it's, it's crazy how you know the braves come home for their first home game and they win 10 to nothing to the Marlins and then turn around and lose four to nothing two games later. I mean it's just crazy how that happens. And then when the Phillies come to town, I wouldn't have thought they would have took two or three from a good Phillies team. But you know they, they did, and I mean you know they did, and I mean you know when we go up there to Philadelphia, you know to that, whatever you want to call it that dump up there.
Speaker 1:Rated the best stadium in the league, by the way.
Speaker 6:Yeah, I have said that is one ballpark I've always wanted to go to.
Speaker 1:It's nice.
Speaker 6:I would just love to drive on there and look to my left and see the Eagles, and then look on and see the Phillies, and then I think you've got the 76ers arena there too. Yep, the 76ers, and.
Speaker 4:Flyers.
Speaker 6:I would just love to do that. We're going to Kentucky this year for vacation. We're going to the Cincinnati Zoo. I highly recommend it if you've never been. It's awesome best zoo I've ever been to. We go and see my in-laws up there. We have a family reunion at the zoo every year with Tiffany's family, so you know the monkeys and all that.
Speaker 1:Wasn't that where that famous gorilla was that got killed I?
Speaker 2:think so.
Speaker 1:What was his name? Everybody knows.
Speaker 6:I should know this but are you talking about? You ain't talking about the crocodile hunter, are you?
Speaker 1:no, no, no, no uh drop me to google it come on, mr roach, you know this one. They're always talking about the. Was it a gorilla or?
Speaker 6:it was continue, zach continue, I'm sorry, but uh, uh, but yeah, I mean there's, you know, and what I was saying was, uh, cincinnati zoo. That was the neatest thing. We went to the louisville game in 2019 and went on to the cincinnati zoo and you get on that highway there and you pass the red stadium on your right, then you pass the bengal stadium and it's just, it's phenomenal. You know, and I'm the type of person that if I'm near like a high school or whatever, like I like, I like to go see it. You know. You don't know when you'll be back in that area. And you know, when we went to Louisville in 2019, I went and found Kentucky University. I went and found, you know, when me and Tiffy went on our honeymoon, I went to Florida University, you know if.
Speaker 6:You know, if we're within driving distance like two and a half, three hours I always like to go. But you know I've always wanted to try to go to Gainesville where Deshaun Watson went and played high school, but it's just 30 minutes off the interstate, you know. So I told Tiffany I gave Tiffany a hard time. We went to Covington, georgia, a couple weeks ago where Vampire Diaries was filmed and everything. You can never say nothing else about me wanting to go see all these football stadiums because we ate like in the diner where they had a couple of scenes and stuff. You can never give me a hard time anymore.
Speaker 1:Well, that's it. That's how you get credits with the wife. You've got to do stuff like that.
Speaker 6:Yes, sir, absolutely. But yeah, that's pretty much it in the sports world, really not a whole lot going on. And really not a whole lot going on. But you know, if you're in the NBA, I'm a Steph Curry fan, you know. So I pull for the Warriors because you can't ever watch them. They come on at 1030 at night, I know. But you know, if you're an NBA fan, you know you've got that winding down with the playoffs and you know major league baseball starting to get cranked up real good and college baseball is winding down before we know it we'll be talking football not too far away.
Speaker 1:It'll be here quickly, all right, man looking forward to it, all righty thanks for calling in.
Speaker 6:Have a good week have a good one, see, all right it was in cincinnati.
Speaker 2:The three-year-old boy that fell in.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what was the name of the?
Speaker 2:um harambe harambe.
Speaker 1:Yes, how could we forget? And they had to kill the gorilla to remember harambe kill a gorilla.
Speaker 2:Kill the gorilla because the he had that three-year-old boy and they thought if they had tranquilized him it wouldn't have taken effect that quickly to save the boy, because they weren't sure what it was going to do and wasn't?
Speaker 1:he was just holding him, right? Yeah, at the time he was just holding him and of course, it only takes one movement and they movement to kill him.
Speaker 2:And they said that you know, had they shot him with the dart, it would have taken a few minutes for the dart to take work.
Speaker 1:And it would have ticked him off.
Speaker 2:Yes, he would have been hurt or you know, dizzy, those kind of things, yeah, so they ended up having to kill him.
Speaker 1:And the boy's fine, yeah, so yeah, I thought that was in Cincinnati and the kids still talk about it.
Speaker 2:And that was a Harambe was wronged 2016. Yeah, and here we are. I can't believe you remember that Almost 10 years later. Yeah.
Speaker 1:They were just talking about it in class the other day. You know why? Because that other thing that's going on right now, the 100 men versus the gorilla debate, I don't know, you don't know about that.
Speaker 4:Holly? No, I don't know you don't know about that, Holly.
Speaker 2:No, you've been stuck in your office too much that everybody's talking about this. We've been busy a couple of weeks.
Speaker 4:But you've heard it, mr Roach, I have what's happening.
Speaker 1:It's a big debate. It's been on talk shows, been all over social media. What would happen 100 men versus one gorilla?
Speaker 2:Oh, wow.
Speaker 3:Yeah, basically somebody just posed a question. Yeah, basically somebody just posed a question Do you think, 100 men could whip one gorilla, wow.
Speaker 2:And what do you think I'm going to say? Yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, that would be the side I'd be on too. I mean, 100 men, he's got to get tired. I was going to say I wouldn't, want to be the first 25 men.
Speaker 2:That's what I was going to say.
Speaker 3:I'm going to say the same thing I've told groups of students before. If they said, you know, I think we all could take you, I'd be like yeah, but who's first? Yeah, exactly those first couple's going to be tough, yeah the first couple's going to get it, y'all might get me eventually. Wait, they said that to you.
Speaker 1:I bet we all could take you.
Speaker 3:I was at a boy's home and there were some challenges there, Wow.
Speaker 2:But I mean, yeah, seriously it would be. I mean, you could probably, like you said, get tired hold them down.
Speaker 3:The gorilla's got to get tired after a while. You'd have to have a strategy, those kind of things. Yeah, it would eventually succumb, I think to that much.
Speaker 1:But then the kids are saying what if they're just wimpy guys? What if they're all these big? Uh, football players?
Speaker 3:or something like that dozens of casualties before the gorilla went down.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah, and you know you talk about even a gorilla. You talk about a grizzly bear or a polar bear or even a lion.
Speaker 3:Polar bears are, you know what I mean, nasty yeah yeah, in all of the the conversation you know, different facts will pop up, like the theI that a gorilla's hand can exert, and it's like 1300 pounds. So just crush yeah it would crush skulls, it would break bones just by grabbing them. I mean, there's a lot of things and you know the way you might hit a person. You think, boy, that's gonna, you know, hurt a person. It's not gonna hurt a gorilla because, their bones are more dense and everything.
Speaker 1:Oh see, now I'm thinking about it more and you're thinking too.
Speaker 2:You have to think about strategy-wise. Like is all 100 coming at once, or are you doing one after the other, like if you do one-on-one and then?
Speaker 1:that one goes. You see what I mean.
Speaker 2:And I think the gorilla could probably do all 100 at that, or real close to that I think if a hundred people attacked the grill at one time, maybe right, you could take over maybe they would take over just because of
Speaker 1:exhaustion and yeah, you know stamina, yeah but there were, like you said, there would be a lot of casualties yeah, oh, yeah crush skulls yeah all right.
Speaker 1:so back to the funny thing we're doing the pictures where everybody's getting roasted I'll do mine real quick which again was just my family sitting on the bleachers at a football game. Okay, so Chad Jepiti says to me oh, this is perfect, a classic Friday Night Lights, but a family chaos. Shot, here is your roast. And it says welcome to the bleacher section of judgment, where the snacks are cold, the vibes are weirder and not one person can agree on where to look, because everyone's looking all over the place. All right, front left, which would be my daughter, who's a math teacher at Liberty. Welcome to the bleacher. Oh wait. Front left, throwing gang signs from the PTA meeting, because her hand is out in some formation. Somebody's been watching too much. Real Housewives of Small Towns. The front center guy, which is her husband, looks like he's trying to smile, but also plotting how to escape without drawing attention. Could be likely.
Speaker 2:Could be true.
Speaker 1:Back row hoodie lady, which is that's my wife, right? Yeah, that's my wait, is it? Yeah, it is my wife, All right.
Speaker 4:How long have you been?
Speaker 1:married. Well, she's got the hoodie and everything. That's the look of someone who didn't sign up for any of this and is now regretting wearing makeup.
Speaker 1:All right, pretty good. Guy next to her All right, that would be one of my sons because I'm next door too, but it says dress like he's ready to tailgate at a funeral. Right back dude, either freezing or just finished yelling at kids for stepping on his lawn possibly both. That would be me Front right selfie queen. She's my other daughter taking the picture. She's smiling like she's about to sell you essential oils. And a dream like she's about to sell you essential oils. And a dream and a shout out to the football gloves and elmo beanie which is on the seat just chilling on the bench like they have their own storyline.
Speaker 1:Um, so again I didn't go scorched earth, which would have been funnier. Yeah, like robbie did, I'll have to do that again sometime. But what did you have?
Speaker 2:so mine was a picture of all four of us sitting on a field stadium again, but we're all in our Clemson gear. We're at a Clemson stadium, it's real cold out, and so let's see. It says number one front row VIP energy. Back row ticket budget. Y'all are out here pretending to be courtside legends, while holding it down to row 21, like the nosebleed elite.
Speaker 1:How close were they in guessing where you were? They were pretty close because we were up there pretty high I was impressed.
Speaker 2:So this is Robbie, this is my husband. It says dad on the left has that quote. I only came for the nachos and to prove that I still fit into my 2003 Clemson vest. Look Respect, and he does have 2003 Clemson vest. Look Respect, and he does have a Clemson vest on. I was impressed that they could find Clemson too. Three mom's Clemson sweater, so that's me. Mom's Clemson sweater is louder than the entire stadium combined. You could use that orange to guide planes in at night.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 2:My next is my son, who has a pretty full beard at the time and a hat it says. The bearded guy in the purple hoodie looks like he's wandered in from an e-sports tournament and is figuring if this is football or Quidditch. And then Madeline is the last one, our daughter Girl on the right has a quote smile for mom's Facebook face and a grin that says please let this be the last photo. I'm just here for the snacks.
Speaker 1:That's sort of right, but she never sees a camera she doesn't like.
Speaker 2:No, that's true, that's true. Yes, very funny, but I haven't done the scorched.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm definitely trying that next time. That's going to be more fun.
Speaker 2:Yes, for sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because I love a good roast.
Speaker 1:I like watching those rests on TV. I mean, some of them can get a little vulgar, but at the same time it's just hilarious stuff Coming up in just a moment we'll have Roy Costner, chairman of the SC Entertainment and Music Hall of Fame, to tell us about a special show going on this weekend and some other things coming up with the Hall of Fame, where to get tickets for the show, and et cetera, et cetera. And then we'll have Robbie's recommendations for oh look, there's the phone right there. We don't even have to go to a commercial break.
Speaker 1:I think we're on All right. So, without further ado, let's go right to the phone line and talk to Mr Roy Costner, chairman of the South Carolina Entertainment and Music Hall of Fame. How are you doing today, sir?
Speaker 5:I'm doing great. I hope you can hear me.
Speaker 1:We can hear you. Thanks a lot for calling. We, of course, have our buddy, justin Williams, up here. He lives basically right around the corner, but he was busy today and I appreciate you, being the chairman of everything going on with the Hall of Fame, taking a few minutes out to talk to us.
Speaker 5:Of course, of course, I'm excited to tell you about the things that we've got going on.
Speaker 1:Yeah well, first off, big thing going on this weekend at Greenville Theater. You've got not only a show going on, but honoring a couple of local legends in the radio industry. Tell us about it.
Speaker 5:Yes, sir, so well. First, about the South Carolina Entertainment Music Hall of Fame. For those that don't know, of course it's all about those people who are from the state of South Carolina or have been involved in South Carolina that have had national recognition and shine a positive light in either the entertainment or music industry. And there are two better people to honor with. That are Bill Love and Howard Hudson from the Love and Hudson Morning Show on WMII 102.5, and their 50 years plus of radio broadcast experience. So we were excited. Our board got together and said you know, we need to take this opportunity to honor them because they've already been doing so much work with the Hall of Fame and just kind of donating their time to do that.
Speaker 5:The show is something that I'm very, very proud of and never quite realized it would do this. Of course, if you're, anyone that's under the age of 45 is not going to know what I'm talking about, but the show is called the Casey Kasem Top 40 Countdown Experience For those that are under 45 or for folks in college or high school. If you know who Ryan Seacrest is, Casey Kasem was the predecessor to Ryan Seacrest in American Top 40. Crest um, an american top 40. What we did was we created the show that. That actually makes you feel like you've gone back in time and you're listening to a live radio performance. Uh, with the voice of casey casem and howard hudson, who were inducted into the hall of fame. Is the voice of casey casem? Uh, bill love has been our spokesperson for the show that we tested last year and we begin a tour across the multiple states and it starts this weekend at the Greenville Theater. So we're very excited about the show and about the opportunity to induct Bill Love and Howard Hudson into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1:And how the show goes. You actually have Howard Hudson, as you said, the voice of Casey Kasem, and then you have a live band performing the songs, right?
Speaker 5:That's exactly right. And the cool thing that it's not just any live band On stage are Hall of Famers who they're epic recording artists. Who toured Mark Lister and Phil Lister from the band Dixiana, and that whole band got put together. We've toured Mark Lister and Phil Lister from the band Dick Sienna and that whole band got put together. And then our lead vocalist, mr Chris Cooper. He toured with Gold City. He's got that high tenor voice but he can sing some of those songs from the 70s and 80s like nobody's business.
Speaker 5:So it's almost like watching a Broadwayway show rather than I'm going to go hear a band play. This is truly an experience because you have all of the, the jingles and the number 40 and and while a song is being played it's timed out to where you see the original artist video on stage in a kind of a retro looking massive TV screen. For example, if it's good, the song Pretty Woman is one of the songs I'm not going to say what number it is, but it's one of the songs and you see Roy Orbison up there playing and it looks like it's. It's synced in with Chris singing the words or singing the the song for Pretty Woman. So it's it's. It's quite an experience. The stage looks like a recording studio and so you kind of get that vibe that you're in the studio, kind of watching all this play out.
Speaker 1:That's pretty cool because a lot of stations still play Casey Kasem's top 40. A lot of the oldies stations, and I think they have it on the 70s station, on sirius xm, and I mean you can hear it all over the place. Um, and I still remember when I was growing up I certainly listened to it.
Speaker 1:Holly probably too, because she's oh yeah, she's getting up there and I don't know how old robbie is, but but uh, it was a part of the weekend was to listen to that show and the long distance dedications and all that kind of stuff. So tell people how they can get tickets. It's at the Greenville theater, right?
Speaker 5:It's at the Greenville theater, but the the the place to get tickets is. You can go to the Carolina fameorg, which is the South Carolina entertainment music hall of fame page. Click there to get tickets. You can also get tickets by going to the CaseyKasemExperiencecom, which is just the website for the band. The band's called we're calling ourselves the Coast to Coast Band, which is cool, I guess. Like I said, this is one of those things that we thought, hey, this will be a cool idea. Let's just see what happens. And it blew up and it becomes a great way for the Hall of Fame to produce and market the show, because a portion of the proceeds go back to the Hall of Fame to allow us to continue to do more shows like this and our induction shows and things like that.
Speaker 5:And now I've been on the phone all day. We've got a lot of local celebrities not even local celebrities, a lot of celebrities that are going to be making an appearance at this show. There's an actor, his name's Fred Golly. He's driving up Some of the ladies from the Miss America and Mrs America are going to be there. I know that. Shoot, the Marshall Tucker Band. That guy's been invited.
Speaker 5:David has been invited. I know that we think some of the folks from Politics World, the county council and Benton Blunt he's supposed to be there, and so I think it's going to be kind of a who's who of who's going to come up. And the very next weekend we'll be at North Myrtle Beach and we'll be inducting Leon Everett into the Hall of Fame during the Casey Kasem show. He's actually driving up to this show because he wants to come hang out and see everybody. So I mean he'll be there too. So it's really going to be an exciting time. And it's an exciting time for the Hall of Fame because we're working towards creating a standalone entertainment complex location and we hope it's going to be in the upstate of South Carolina.
Speaker 1:Well, that's awesome. Is the show the same all the time or do they switch it up with the music a little bit?
Speaker 5:So the show stays the same same all the time, or do they switch it up with the music a little bit? So the show stays the same. Here's the plan, because it just started last year. We did Christmas shows last year and we redid the show for 2025. So it will be the same as we go to different cities in 2025, but then it will change. By the time we get to Christmas it will change again and then it will change for 2026. We have dates already booked all the way through into 2026.
Speaker 1:That's awesome. I'm glad this has taken off Very cool. My son actually was able to work on the crew a little bit for the first couple of shows. When you guys just got started, ah cool, and he was amazed that it just took off the way it did. So it's really cool that you're going to be able to go out on tour and such with this concept. It's really really interesting. Hoping to see it myself this weekend. So tell us what else is going to happen, go ahead.
Speaker 5:You said please come.
Speaker 1:I can't wait to see you in person. Yes, we've talked to you a couple of times now over the years, but anything else going on that we need to know about?
Speaker 5:Well, the Hall of Fame has got so many cool things that are going on.
Speaker 5:As a matter of fact, I just got off the phone with the folks from the Grand Ole Opry.
Speaker 5:We're heading up that way to present an award to the board of directors there because they're in their 100-year celebration and a lot of the folks from South Carolina have played on the stage at the Grand Ole Opry so we wanted to at least recognize them.
Speaker 5:We are working on a new show concept that will be kind of a not a Casey Kasem type thing, but more of a Hall of Fame tour that we'll test it again and make sure that the concept works, but if we can bring back multiple Hall of Famers to come and perform in one show, so it's not just a country show, it's not just one type of band, but you've got a variety of music along with celebrities, whether it's somebody like Nanny Faye Crisley from the TV show Crisley Knows Best or Vanna White to come out on stage. I mean, those are the things that it's just in concept stage now, but anything that we can do to continue to get the word out about the Hall of Fame. And then also we're working on another concept which is called a Hometown Fame Tour, which has an educational component for those kids that are hey, one day I want to make it into the Hall of Fame. What do I have to do to get there?
Speaker 1:Oh, that's great, that's neat. Get some of our kids involved in that.
Speaker 5:Right and it's kind of combining the concept of I look at it like. America's Got Talent mixed with American Pickers that's a weird way to describe it, but it'll be something that'll happen in five cities across the state and culminate in one big event. And of course we are. We are continuing to work towards our big induction show, which will be in the spring of next year.
Speaker 1:All right, Well listen, Roy. Thanks a lot for checking in with us. Obviously, you're welcome any time. It sounds great what the Hall of Fame's got going on, and all the best to you. Thanks for calling.
Speaker 5:Thanks for having me on. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 1:All right, no problem, and hopefully we get to meet him next. Well, this coming weekend. All right, no problem, and hopefully we get to meet him next. Well, this coming weekend we're hoping to go to the show. You ought to go, holly.
Speaker 2:Yeah, see what's going on this weekend.
Speaker 1:I heard it's really good. I'm sure it is. Do you have something going on that's more pressing, Because I remember the last time you said you were going to be somewhere the chili cook-off.
Speaker 2:I know and I had things going, I told he's such a busy person.
Speaker 1:Right, it's going to be pressing the time We'll see, we'll see. All right, so you're not going to be there, all right.
Speaker 3:Let's finish this. I'm not going to be there either.
Speaker 1:I didn't even ask Robbie.
Speaker 2:I'm a single mom. This weekend. Robbie's gone, it's just me and Madeline, so it's really going to depend on her social calendar. Oh there you go Around here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, easily, oh okay. Yeah, those can be hit or miss, but have a good time. All right, it is time. We're about to wrap up the show, so it is time for our guest recommendations that will go in the memoir book that I'm writing for some day. I haven't even started yet. I haven't even been in the concept. In fact, that's the closest I've come to doing it.
Speaker 1:Just mentioning it right now Just mention it, but every week we have our guests give recommendations on entertainment what they're reading, what they're watching they're binging, what movie, whatever music listening to, and then food where they've eaten lately that they can recommend some dish, whatever. Uh, robbie, we know is is an expert. This is not a fat joke or anything. Okay, just stay off it, because I get it all the time myself. This guy knows food. Oh, yeah, he does, and um so in fact, the last time, one of the last times you were on, you told me about the hot chicken in Greenville and I went there.
Speaker 4:It was very good and it was very hot.
Speaker 1:I do remember that my wife is like I don't know if we can come here again, it's just too hot, but it was good.
Speaker 3:Well, you can't go back now because it closed it, but it was good. Well, you can't go back now because it closed. It did, didn't it?
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's right, wasn't that recently? Yeah, yeah, I thought so, I thought I saw that. So I guess we should have gone more often, that's right. Anyway. So what do you have, robbie? What have you been watching, listening to, binging whatever in the entertainment world?
Speaker 3:I actually missed the book club today at palmetto high. You know to come here, uh, but we read a fantastic book called the happiest man on earth and it's it's. It's basically a life story of a man that uh lived through, uh, the holocaust, and I mean it's a fantastic book, it's an easy read. The man's name's eddie, jacu or yaku, I'm not sure how you would pronounce it, but fantastic book.
Speaker 1:The Happiest man on Earth.
Speaker 3:Yep, all right, that's a great recommendation.
Speaker 1:All right, what about food? What do you got for us here?
Speaker 3:Our latest thing we've kind of been all a little crazed about, and this happened for my birthday. I said, hey, I want to go to this place. I told my wife, um, right at the end of deer hunting season, I'm riding through the country because I'd shot a deer and I needed to go pick it up and so I had this just random way to get to where I was picking it up. And I'm just riding through the country and I'm like is that a restaurant out in the middle of gray court? And there's like all kind of christmas lights out in the yard beside it, court, gray Court. There's like all kind of Christmas lights out in the yard beside it too. I'm like that's cool. So anyway, you know, I made a note of the restaurant I'm coming back there. So on my birthday in January that's where I said I want to go there for my birthday and it's called Boondocks Fish Camp and Barbecue House in Gray Court and I'm telling you it is good.
Speaker 1:Well, I certainly should be able to remember that name.
Speaker 2:Boondocks, I have not been there, john.
Speaker 1:Whoa, I know, see, you got her. Normally, everybody recommends things that I've never heard of, she's already been there.
Speaker 3:But you got her, you get the prize tonight and I'll tell you since then my father-in-law's been there every week.
Speaker 2:Really, no, every week. Yes, he and his wife go every week really no.
Speaker 3:So what? Yes they, he and his wife, go every week southern seafood and barbecue.
Speaker 1:So what's, uh, what's good there? What did you have?
Speaker 3:my favorite thing is the uh, salt and pepper catfish. I like catfish because it's a little juicier than like flounders and stuff like that, so salt and pepper catfish is my favorite all right, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like some catfish. I haven't had that in a while.
Speaker 2:Wow, the food looks great.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you can get it either in fillets or bites. I like the bites, but if you're not feeling like seafood, you can get barbecue. They have ribs and those kind of things too.
Speaker 4:I had the hash and it was really good.
Speaker 2:I thought a little bit spicy.
Speaker 3:a little bit too spicy for my wife, but I like spicy. But that's a great place, Reasonably priced too. Oh yeah, yeah, it's very reasonable. Like I said, we've been back there several times. That's where she wanted to go for her birthday, just a week after my birthday.
Speaker 2:So you all went there. Yeah, we've been there a few times now, definitely trying that, definitely birthday, so y'all went there.
Speaker 3:yeah, we've been there definitely trying that definitely trying that.
Speaker 1:It's on the list boondocks great name, great name in gray court. So what is what I don't think I've?
Speaker 3:gone to anywhere in gray court on purpose before. Well, from where I live, it's just about 20 minutes, because I lived right on the fringe of possum kingdom, that's one of the greatly named well I mean is there really a possum kingdom. There is, I mean there is.
Speaker 2:There's royalty.
Speaker 1:I can show you a sign.
Speaker 2:There's a sign, okay, so the sign is what makes it? Yeah, okay, the possum is ruled, it's on a barn. Oh okay, yeah, of course.
Speaker 1:Well, there you go Well, Principal Roach, thank you. Thank you so much for spending time with us here today.
Speaker 4:It's always fun when you come around. It is.
Speaker 1:And here's the thing we're going to do, that food thing. Next year we're going to have some different things to try, maybe from some of the things you brought up on and off the air, and maybe some restaurants.
Speaker 3:I already know what I'm bringing. What are you bringing? Well, kind of a tradition we started last year during Master's Week is my wife will make egg salad, just like they have at the Master's, and that's what we eat at the admin lunch table when the first day of the Master's starts, because we have it on the TVs in the lunch room.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, so what kind of potato salad is it? It's egg salad, oh, egg salad. I'm sorry, I don't know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:Egg salad, egg salad sandwiches you can buy there for $1.50 each.
Speaker 2:And they're delicious, they're amazing. They're just on white bread. Yep, you've been to the Masters.
Speaker 3:Yeah, my wife will make it and we'll get some Wonder Bread.
Speaker 2:Yeah, their pimento cheese are good too, Yep.
Speaker 1:All right, see, I would just throw it out. I just think that the way she made wasn't seasoned. Right Now that I've gotten older, I've appreciated it more because of the different ways you can season it.
Speaker 2:Where did your wife get the recipe? Did she find it online?
Speaker 3:We've just been there a few times, we've been to the masters a few times, so you know, she just made it a few different ways and we're like this is just like what we have there so that's how she does. It's pretty cool, yeah, yeah, okay, put that all the all the guys that sit at the admin table love it. You know they they'll talk about it all year leading up. But hey, when is the masters?
Speaker 1:so we can have our egg salad all right, sounds good, and so we'll see you like sometime in august or september, all right, all right, yeah, be fun but, again, thanks for coming it. It was a rough day today and I'm glad he came. He's like made my day and this is what the show's for at the end of the day was uh, to just have some fun. I think we've done that. We've learned how to roast our families.
Speaker 1:And we're going to do some scorched earth of that coming up. I'm sure we'll have it in the family chat thing tonight. And we've learned about some great food and, of course, robbie's response to all the student questions and of course, now we know who Big Mustang is. So yeah, we learned a lot during today's show.
Speaker 2:Maybe you'll make a fable for our show next time A fable.
