Chapter 1: Who won this year's Crabapple Idol and what were the prizes?
And welcome back to WSHIT, it's Hambone and Hoadley in the mornin'. Hambone here without Hoadley as Hoadley takes some time off to get her carbuncles checked. Those things can be painful. I should know, I had some carbuncles in my motherfuncles. But you know, as the old saying goes, what do you give a radio disc jockey that's got everything? A shot of penicillin.
And thanks to Dr. Perry for taking care of my carbuncle funcles with a shot of penicillin. So Hundley will be back just as soon as she can. But you know me, I'm here to hold it down while you go to pound town. You know what I'm talking about, guys. Boy, yo, yo, yo, yoing indeed. While we're talking about my boinger, tough judging and competition just as stiff as I was.
Last night on our sister station, WFUCU, as the 15th annual Crab Apple Idol concluded its season, crowning 27-year-old Elizabeth Saddlebush the new Crab Apple Idol. I'm going to tell you what, guys. A set of lungs on this girl, and her singing wasn't so bad either.
She'll be walking away with $500 in Tina Tannen-Twee's gift cards, a one-year residency at Jerry's Casino and Bait Shop, and a six-month lease on a Nissan Sentra from Todd and Bob's Nissan, located on 22 Main Street.
And while it was a close call between Elizabeth and 16-year-old rock and roll bassoonist Eddie Munhandle, Elizabeth sealed the deal by writhing around on the floor, pandering to the mostly male audience and singing one hell of a cover of this tune. Let's play that song right now.
Ah!
What a voice. A voice like an angel. A Charlie's angel, but an angel nonetheless. I now hope you'll be looking forward to that in-person studio interview just like I am. Boing, boing, boing, boing. All right, let's pay some bills while I get some thrills. We'll be back after this commercial break.
On this episode of The Commercial Break...
So these dire wolves signal to me that we are yet a little bit closer to this becoming a reality. And we're actually within any earshot of it happening. I don't think it would be outrageous to believe that some dinosaurs, probably smaller ones, if you can find a host to impregnate with, some smaller dinosaurs.

Chapter 2: What are the latest innovations in Atlanta airport transportation?
This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Chris Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chris.
Best to you, Brian.
Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Thanks for joining us.
I was in my ghost mode.
Yes, the girls, some of my girls like to come in here on the break and give us a little show, a little entertainment. Halftime entertainment. Halftime entertainment for the working kids, which is nice of them. But then you have to get them out of here. And that's a whole different animal. And you're like, okay, okay.
I read somewhere where kids, they only have like, you know, a certain part of their brain developed until a certain age, which for me was 41. But they, so therefore... Someone said in a reel, if they only listen, so let's say they're only 25% developed at age three or four. So if they only listen to you 25% of the time, consider that a victory, right? Because they don't really know.
And another person said that they don't have the ability to choose to prioritize. So everything that they want is their top priority. They don't have the ability to shuffle that in their brain. Getting them to do anything, anything. And there's a bunch of them. So getting them to do anything coordinated is a holy shit of a task. I mean, it really is.
It takes a lot.
It takes a lot. I'm surprised I'm not in a mental institution yet.

Chapter 3: Why is the Minecraft movie a surprise box office hit?
But it's not. It's like it doesn't even have a rail.
Okay.
It's a guide wire. What I mean by that is they put a magnetic, electrified magnetic strip in, call it a track, but it's more like a road. The road is dedicated to this like little train. It looks like little- Like a kid's train that you would get in for Easter or at the mall. Do you know what I'm saying? But a little bit bigger than that, covered. And each one holds like two passengers.
But they have like eight cars connected to it. Little pods. That's what they are. These little pods, they connect up and they make trains. They come pick you up at the, you know, you walk down the aisle when you get done parking. They come pick you up autonomously. And then they zip you to the airport. And there you go. And London Heathrow is already doing it. But they're charging for it.
It's like, you know, 10 euro to get from the park and then it's 10 euro to get to the airport, 10 euro to get back. So I'm sure Atlanta is also going to charge you for this also. But I just read they just they invested like a billion dollars into this system and they're going to start building it here really soon.
So you can park far away from the airport where it's cheaper and then spend all that money you save on getting a pod to take you autonomously. Yeah. So we'll do the Waymo. We'll do the pod. Love to go to Coachella. Always wanted to go to... Fuego Fest, the Insane Clown Posse, the Gathering of the Juggalos. I've been talking about that forever. And I know every content.
I'll let you take that.
I do. You and Tina. Tina would come with me.
Oh, yeah. That's right up Tina's alley.

Chapter 4: What chaotic behaviors are happening in theaters during the Minecraft movie?
You know, Tenacious D is incredible. Jack Black is hilarious. I love him, love him, love him. This is no knock on him. But I'm not sure anybody was picking up the phone and begging for Jack Black to be in a movie. I don't know that, but I'm just not sure that anybody was knocking down his door.
And I don't think anybody expected that anybody would be knocking down his door after the Minecraft movie. Do you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
They gave it a very modest expectation of making $20, $30 million the first weekend. It made like $90 million the first weekend. And now three weekends in, it's at almost $600 million worldwide.
That is wild.
tracking to be over a billion. It's the top grossing movie in the United States, second top grossing movie in the world for 2025.
Kids are going crazy too. That's what I was going to share with you. Yeah, yeah. Do tell about this.
So in the game, because I am a noted Minecraft expert, in the game, there is a couple of characters that apparently everybody just really loves to see. One is a wild chicken and one is called a creeper. I guess the kids are running around here saying creeper, creeper. So I'm assuming that's the name of one of the characters is creeper, little green goblin type guy.
And then the block chicken, like the chicken. Okay. That's a block because they're all blocks. Everything's made out of blocks in this fucking movie. So now I want you to imagine you and your loved one and possibly a child. But let's just say you and your loved one decide, hey, we're in our 30s. Let's go have some dinner and a movie.

Chapter 5: What advice is given to movie theater owners and kids about the Minecraft movie frenzy?
with that don't ask me I don't know I mean are we really trusting the kid taking the tickets to do security they can do their best but there's only so much you could do people don't want secure they don't want you everyone sneaks candy and food into the movie theaters or drugs or whatever the vape or whatever no one wants anybody checking shit and so they don't they just never do but okay
Everybody goes wild. And they throw popcorn, drinks, juices. They throw it all over the movie theater. And I mean, if you've seen some of these videos, it's like a movie theater that is packed. And all of a sudden, 90% of the movie theater just goes haywire. Popcorn everywhere. Fucking gummy bears on the ceiling. Sour candies at the screen. You know, orange... Fuego everywhere.
It's like a gathering of the jugglers is what happens momentarily. And it all happens on cue, on this particular cue. This has happened so much and to such destruction of movie theaters because you can imagine if you get Coca-Cola just thrown on a leather seat or a pleather seat, it's a sticky mess. You got to spend hours cleaning it up. It just causes drama for everybody.
And that doesn't even include the poor people who are just there to watch the movie. Now, I don't think anybody is just watching the movie now. I think that most people have.
Word is out.
Word is out. They have most movie theaters now, almost every movie theater that has this movie playing, has decided that at the very least, we need to have a security guard stationed inside the theater for this particular part of the movie. But some, a lot of them, have gone so far as to hiring police officers to stand in the movie theater the entire time.
Like the time that I went and saw a screener of... Whatever that dumb movie was.
Oh, God. What was that movie? I can't remember.
I can't remember either.

Chapter 7: What is the significance of Mental Health Awareness Month for the show?

Hey, all you cats and kittens out there in the podcast universe. I want to tell you about Rule Breakers with Serea.
It's a new podcast from our partners at Odyssey that celebrates the rebels, the risk takers, and the ones who make their own way. It's these people who often change the lives of the people around them and the world at large. And while in the moment it may be hard to see the forest through the trees, those Rule Breakers often define what it means to be a success.
Each week, former wrestling superstar Serea sits down with the boldest voices in sports, entertainment, and beyond to talk about breaking barriers, defying expectations, and rewriting the rules. They're talking about it all, the fights, the failures, and the moments that changed everything.
You can follow and listen to Rule Breakers with Serea on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. And hear, hear to the Rule Breakers for keeping life interesting. The wildest shit I think that has probably happened since Dolly. Do you remember Dolly the sheep?
