Matt Barrentine: In checking out the scene here for us here in Mobile tomorrow it is going to be hot. Once again back up to around ninety degrees. [Sighs] Very steamy, very hot, and just things aren't going to be changing anytime soon. Uh, it's going to stay very warm. Like I said, we've--we've got that--that ridge of high pressure that's just not going to break down and, you know, people are asking me at church when is this -- when are we going to see fall and I'm just like, I don't now. I don't know! 

Byron Day: I'm just in public relations, not in management. Right?

Matt Barrentine: I know. We'll see it eventually; it's just, it's just not soon.

Byron Day: We promise. Thanks so much for being with us tonight, everybody.  Take care. We'll see you tomorrow.

Byron Day: --is committed to letting you know about opportunities in our area. So, if you're looking for a job and you love animals, listen to this one: The Gulf Coast Zoo in Gulf Shores is hiring. The zoo is looking for -- hello -- new team members to provide nutritious meals to more than six hundred animals every day. Candidates must be able to lift and carry fifty pounds and have a valid driver's license. And for more details and to apply, just head to Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo Dot Com slash employment. If you can't remember that, we've got a link on our Web site. That would be a fun job, I think.

Lenise Ligon: I think so.

Byron Day: Yeah!

Lenise Ligon: Any--any one animal that you would defer to someone else to feed?

Byron Day: I would let them, take the lion--

Lenise Ligon: Ha ha ha.

Byron Day: --every time.

Lenise Ligon: Ha ha.

Byron Day: --you know.

Jason Smith: Yeah right now they can keep the foxes.

Byron Day: Ha ha ha--

Lenise Ligon: Well...

Byron Day: --oh yeah--

Jason Smith: That's a whole nother story.

Byron Day: Ha ha ha ha ha.
