Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, killing Ash, Hey, it's tomorrow show Today Tomorrow. Our
favorite day Friday when you were a kid in school,
Did you have a special shirt or a special pair
of shoes or jeans you always wore on Friday?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Depended on what era I was in, But my favorite
era would have been I think around fourth grade through
I want to say seventh grade. So was that like
four years because I think it was during that four
year window that I was in a bowling league. And
(00:33):
it's an interesting bowling because we don't have these down South.
It's called duck pin bowling, and so the balls are
very small, they're like the size of a shot put.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Okay, and the pins.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Are about half the size of a what you would
call I guess you would call it bowling. It's actually
called ten pin bowling because it's a bigger ball. There's
another form of bowling called candlestick bowling, which is very
similar to the kind that I was doing duck pin,
but you'd have these little balls, but because they're small,
you'd get three shots instead of two shots. And I
(01:08):
was in a bowling league. Every Friday afternoon. My grandfather
would take me after school to the bowling league, and
I think we started bowling at like three and we'd
bowl toll like five or something like that, because I
remember I would get home right around the same time
as my stepdad was getting home, and we would have
dinner then. But it was that was my best day
(01:29):
of the week by far. My grandfather would not only
take me to the thing and watch me and cheer
me on, but then he would also on the way home,
say what do you want for dessert tonight? And we
would stop at the Pathmark grocery store and I would
get and I would wear my memory and I would
wear my bowling shirt you all day, and my bowling
(01:50):
shirt would have like so like when you in the
in the duck pin League, to break a hundred was considered,
I don't want to say super rare, but it was rare.
And so when you broke a hundred, they'd give you
a patch and you put it on your shirt. That's
a one hundred club pinch. Then I got one hundred
and twenty five. Then I got one hundred and fifty.
I think I maxed out at one seventy five. I
(02:11):
never got to the two hundred club, but I had
all those patches, and then your name's on it, and
it was like this blue bowling shirt with the with
black lettering on it and stuff, and it looks so cool,
and I was like, gosh, that was a great era
for me.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Was that four year window? I thought about that because
I'm going to go see my dad today. I don't
know what we're going to be doing today, but he
has been going through a bunch of old pictures and stuff,
and it was a picture of me and coming. I
guess on a Friday, because I remember I only wore
the shirt on Fridays. I love this shirt. But you
remember Gilligan on Gilligan's Island, that red shirt he had.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I don't know if I can specifically point to a
red shirt. Obviously I remember owned then I guess that
would be. I mean, in my mind, I don't remember
gill it's in I don't even remember him in clothes.
But it's not like this. I remember him nude. I
just don't remember his.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Outfit in Gilligan nude. It's kind of interesting as well,
is it. I think Marianne ever did that. I think so.
But I had a shirt it looked just like Gilligan's
only word on Fridays and I was wearing that shirt
this picture, and I remember that shirt.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Now as a kid, because Gilligan came on what early sixties,
and you're you're about eight years older than me, so
you're wearing that shirt as Gilligan's Island is in its prime.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Basically, I'm thinking, I thought it was an after school
show by then.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
So so what, like, are we talking like sixty four
sixty five?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It would have been let's I'm going to say third
or third grade. Let's say third grade, so i'd be
what ten, so like sixty eight, so yeah, sixty nine, all.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Right, and let's see what years Gilligan It first aired
in sixty four, Okay, so yeah, so that I mean again,
sixty eight.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I was one, Yeah, so I was.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I assume that would have been a very popular show
in six.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Worried on Fridays. I wish I had I need to
go find a shirt that looks like this so I
can wear it on Fridays.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
And I was just a kid again, because to me,
it would seem like that would be opening. Again, kids
are cruel, and so when you're looking for something.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
To call me, little buddy, you're going to make a
reference to my shirt. That's what I'm saying. Oh, I
lived it.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah, Oh they did mock the shirt. I mean yet
you see now that shows you how strong Jonathan Rush
was because most kids, ninety eight or percent or more
of children cave when they're insulted. And it's a good
one like that. That one stuck because you admitted it
looked like Gilligan shirt.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, and he was a dufe That's okay. Everybody washed him.
Nobody love Gilligan. You did not bend. No, I'm going
to walk in wearing a Skipper cap, but I wear
a Gelli Good shirt. Well, he didn't get the Skipper cap.
That was the that was skipper. Yeah, the skipper got
the skip had like a white hat.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Allen something, whatever his name was, It's right, it was
Alan something. You got a great memory for Gilligan's Island.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Well, they put the actors names big on the screen.
When we were kids, remember that, they always put the
actors names up real big.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Well, I hope everybody got their favorite Friday shirt.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
On for tomorrow, favorite Friday shirt.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
And maybe you're gonna have a favorite shirt you're gonna
want to wear down to the full throttle tour. At
the credit one Stadium, Daniel Island.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Definitely wearing a cowboy hat with a floral shirt for
that one. Do you have a cowboy hat? Sure? Okay,
I want to get a new one, but I haven't
pick one out yet.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
The word that we're using for what you're talking about
tomorrow is perfidious.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Perfidious, Oh, overstated, over zealous, excited, perfidious. It's actually deceitful,
or treacherous. I wonder if you've ever used I guess
that was an insult.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It was you, and you're so perfidious, like you're thinking
you're giving them a compliment.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, so I used it for me. Perfidious, deceitful, or treacherous.
This is why we give you the word so you
can use it to people that they don't understand the
word because they're not smart enough to don't listen to
the Morning Rush, so they don't even know you're insult
I didn't even know I was being insulted.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
But Jonathan, you've sweetened the pot. It's not just two
tickets to see Jason al Dean in September.
Speaker 1 (06:19):

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Back in the nineteen ninety well, I was only on
BLI in Long Island from nineteen ninety four to nineteen
ninety six, so this happened somewhere in that window. So
we'll just say nineteen ninety five. Somewhere around nineteen ninety five,
I had a guest on and they were marketing what
they felt was a comedic I'm guessing thing that you
(08:13):
could send to people you didn't like, particularly an ex
boyfriend or a girlfriend, right, and it would come in
a nice box and then you know, it looked like
a gift, and then you'd open it up and inside
it was if I remember right, it was monkey.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Crap, actual monkey crap. Yeah. Now, they went the River
Bankszoo and bought the monkey crap and then you went
and boxed it up, put a bowl on it, and
sell it as a gag gift.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yes, Now the monkey crap had been chemically treated. I
guess or something so it would be hardened so as
to not danger you when you touched it. But I
just remember we were talking about you know, this is
your this is what you're selling, and he's at Our
number one customers are ex boyfriends and girlfriends who mail
(09:05):
it to each other and say, you know this is
this is this is the value of our love. A
box a monkey crap. This new thing tops that. Okay,
this thing I just read about. You can read about
it on the Morning Rest blog at ninety seven five
WCS dot com. There's a it's called the Wildcat Ridge
Sanctuary in Marion County, Oregon for Valentine's Day if you
(09:27):
are upset with your now X, just for one day only.
It's called the My Bloody Valentine Special. And what you
do is you come in and you buy this. Well,
I don't I have no way of saying it other
than what it is. You're buying the heart of another animal.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
And they're gonna then write your ex's name on the
heart and then you can film it is that heart
is eaten by lions and tigers.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
What the heck is this?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I don't know. It's a freak fest out in Marion County, Oregon,
My bloody Valentine. I can't imagine anybody would even want this, Like, like,
am I that angry at them? I don't, and I
don't like what did am I?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Eating your heart? Is that? What's about? It?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Almost seems like it would be better to put your
name on it and say, this is what you did
to my heart. You you you destroyed my heart. You
fed it to the wild animals.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
This only confirms that whoever broke up with you made
the right choice. If you've made this is a decision,
This is how this is how crazy this dude is.
I don't even know what this means.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I'm trying to think about the brainstorming session, guys. Funding
is a little tight around here at the Big Cat
Wildcat Game. But what can we do? How do we
raise money? What if there's insane people who would be
with me to write them of their axe on a
heart and then we feed it to the big cats.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I'm having a flashback to a Facebook videos. All recently,
I've forgotten about this dude. He was from the upstate
of South Carolina. He was a guest on Johnny Carson
and Carson had so much fun with this dude describing
what he sold that he actually held him over during
the commercial break, and I'm sure they bumped out the
comedian who was scheduled to be at the end of
the program. You think it was Matt Damon, could have
(11:25):
been Matt Damon to do two segments with this guy.
I believe this guy made ear rings and pendants and
the like, and I know he made it out of manure.
I think he made it out of chicken manure.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
And the ladies were supposed to enjoy getting an ear
ring made out of chicken crap.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
But this wasn't a gag gift. This was like a
four real gift. You're supposed to enjoy this, Yes, you
enjoy this, and he was. He was making more money
selling chicken crap than he was selling chickens. Well, and
don't wear them on a hot day. No. I forgot
what he did to him. But it petrified it so
it wouldn't smell or anything, and it held its shape.
And he had a different kid like a cross. Let
(12:08):
you know, Jesus, you want to honor me. Jesus is thinking,
now here's the honor I've been looking for. I didn't
even know this guy existed. I don't even know what
year it was recorded, but it was funny to do
was I think it was some roebucks South Carolina if
I remember, Oh this is a South Carolinia. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's why I was watching it because they said in
there South Carolinium makes Carson laugh or whatever. It was
(12:30):
some roebucks South Carolina. Forgotten the guy's name, but it's
a funny. It's a funny video of the Tonight Show
with Johnny Carson speaking of jewelry.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
One of the most expensive things a man will ever
buy is an engagement ring for his beloved. Right now,
the average price for a engagement ring today is sixty
three hundred dollars. That's a lot of money for a
youngster to come up with six thousand, three hundred dollars.
But you could get a free one free engagement ring. Yes,
(13:02):
Red Robin, Red Robin, yum. If you're thinking of popping
the question, Red Robin is running a promotion around their
onion rings. Okay, now you have to propose at a
Red Robin location on February fourteenth of this year. Oh my,
(13:23):
and your proposal has to include somehow their fried onion rings.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Then the newly engaged.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Couple uploads of video or photo of that moment with
you proposing with the fried onion rings to their website
that must be uploaded by the nineteenth. They're going to
choose one winner, and that winner is going to get
a gift card to a jewelry store worth ten thousand dollars,
(13:54):
and you'll also get is if that wasn't enough, one
hundred and eighty dollars gift card to Robin so you
can enjoy their the towering onion rings throughout your entire engagement.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
So it's basically I see this only working if the
couple agrees we're gonna go stage this. We're gonna put
together a great little idea of we're gonna stage it,
we're gonna video it, we're gonna send it to see
if we can get an upgraded ring or to use
that as a as additional jewelry for our wedding.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I mean, the the obvious joke is I'm proposing to
you with this ring and it's an onion ring, and
then she's putting it on her finger and the ring, Yes,
it's very comedic, but if if she doesn't know that
that's happening. This is like today's question and it's over.
I think that this ends the the There is no engagement,
(14:47):
there is no more dating. You you you proposed in
a public restaurant with a freaking onion ring.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah see, I only see this coming off with a
couple agrees to do it, just stage it for the
video so they can send it in a Could.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
It be somehow that you work with the Do we
call them the chefs at Red Robin? I don't know, remember,
they're just called cooks whatever they whoever they are. Could
you put the ring in the onion ring?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
You know?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I have it like somehow. I don't know how you
do that. Well, that's the thing. You gotta be careful
about it.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I had a.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Friend who almost killed his uh now wife because he
had the ring put in the chocolate cake. And I
guess he thought that she would see it or something
when she like put the and that didn't happen, and
she started swallowing it.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Oh my god, and she's like, well, what's this?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
It spits out a diamond covered chocolate and goo and
get mocked.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
To this day because I've had Sally's cheesecake raspberry top
cheesecake delivered to the table with a ring on top,
on top so she could see it on top. Stuck
in there. Okay, she mocked me to this day. That
was the most stupid thing you've ever done. That was
the proposal? Still said, yes, that was the proposal. Though
(16:14):
I came at the end of the dinner. Did you
ever get on a knee? I did right after she
saw the ring yet.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
So she sees the ring you dropped to a knee,
and she's is she laughing or what is she doing?
Like when she sees the ring on top of this,
or she's like, oh my gosh, is this happening?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
He's laughing. This is so stupid. I can't believe this
is happening in public.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
So she's basically almost mocking you. She did mock me
right there. Yes, And I still ask her, I've never
heard this story. Twenty years I've been working with you,
I've never heard this story that you were mocked in
the proposal.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Just facially. She didn't verbalize it. She just looked at me, like, really,
you're doing this?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
At that point? Was there any doubt in you now?
Like maybe doubt on either side? Should I do this?
Because I don't know that I want to marry this woman.
Or could it be should I do this because she
I might actually get a no here? This might be
a no? Or did you just feel confident either way
it's happening.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah, I was all in, and I regret the cheesecake incident.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
That's what it's called, the cheesecake incidents. Have you not
even had cheesecake since that day?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
We swore? Okay, but I don't ever bring it up. Well,
I'm glad you shared it with us. That's a I
don't do that. Guys. That does not come off the
way you think it will, and it's going to come
off even worse with an onion ring.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
All right, Two more things to get to real quickly.
We got one. If you're trying to find love now,
it says sixty one million Americans are currently online dating.
I would venture more than half probably not interested in love.
Of the sixty one million, maybe thirty five million, or
not interested marriage and that sort of thing. They're just
(18:01):
I'm looking for somebody to what do they call it?
Netflix and chill. That's what they're That's what they're at.
That's what I'm guessing. I don't know these stats I'm
just making that one up. But there are sixty one
million Americans using dating apps. So this study broke down
the five most popular dating apps and then broke down
(18:23):
how many people percentage wises I guess, got married. So
what the like of that. The worst app if you
want to get married is okay Cupid. Out of the
Okay Cupid dating pool, of the people who used it,
(18:45):
eventually two point one percent got married. The best one,
I don't I think I've heard of it. It's called Hinge.
Hinge is the best dating app if you're looking for love.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Hinge. I've never heard of okkepit.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Eight point three percent of their users got married. So
if you're trying to find love on the internet, there
you go. There were We've broken a ninety percent chance.
You're not going to find it, even on the best app.
You could put it that way, and you don't have
to be getting nasty. We're taking all hope from you.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
And finally you're desperate enough to go into the app,
you're going Hinge because there's ten percent chance you're going
to find somebody, not even Tim. But I'm just rounding
that up.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I will say that when I was single, well, both times. Well,
I was single until I was thirty six, and then
I got married, and then I got divorced when I
was like forty something. I was married for like six years,
but then I had divorced, and then I went on
a dating app, and I did find one really nice lady.
(19:58):
And you remember that that's he was, and you were like,
she comes with her own checkbook. That was like the
big line because she was pretty rich. And it didn't
work out for whatever reasons.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
That's not important.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
But I did find somebody very nice on a dating app.
And before that, my first wife I met before they
had dating apps. On a I took out an ad
in like the New York Magazine or New Yorker or
one of those things, and that it's so funny because
I put Republicans are fun too. That was the name
of my ad, yes, because I lived in New York
(20:31):
City and I couldn't believe that I couldn't find anybody
who thought Republicans.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Were nice people.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
They're not even like worthy of life, Like we should
all be executed in New York.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
They're all still there.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
And this was around two thousand and one. But so
we started dating and it was like six to eight
months into the relationship, which she like, we ended up
talking about politics or something and she's like, hold up,
you're really a Republican. So I was in the ad,
(21:03):
was in the headlines. She said, I thought that was
a joke. Nobody thinks Republicans are cool anyway. The donut trick,
Jonathan said, what does that mean? The donut trick? We
got a morning Russian regular who's feeling really bad. Should
they apologize, should they try to step in in any way?
And the basic scenario of the story is that they
(21:27):
have a community refrigerator, and in the community refrigerator, like
so many offices, somebody stealing food in there, and this
person was victimized several times. And so to set a trap,
they put in what appeared to be like some sort
of jelly filled donut into the refrigerator, but instead of
(21:48):
having it filled with jelly, they had some sort of
blue dye. Gotcha, And so the individual who ate it
had blue dye for.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Like two days, cover their teeth in their mound.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yes, And as this person says, I just wanted to
teach them a lesson stop stealing food. That's all I
was trying to do. But it became such a big
deal that everybody saw it that now there's conversations about
firing this.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Person, and HR has already notified And did I go
too far? You entrapped them eating something that you don't
even know the consequences. Possibly they could be allergic to
blue dye, wasn't red dye?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
That's great, I would say, I wouldn't feel bad about
it at all because you use the word entrapment. They
didn't entrap them.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
They did right there in refrigerator where they could see it.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
That's where we're supposed to put our food, and then
the other people are supposed to know to not eat
your food. It's even got your name on it. It's
got a little box or a little bag that's got
your name on it. So I don't I wouldn't feel
bad unless you had done something like you said that
would have made them have some sort of health reaction. Yes,
But if the person is fired because they're a thief
(23:07):
and your coworkers can't trust him and he's been publicly
identified as a thief, I think that that's one of
those what is your phrase? You can't No, you can
choose your sin, but you can't choose the consequences.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
That's what the Covi culbets of the world would tell you.
And so this here's your sound. But you can't choose
your consequences.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
This individual chose the sin of thieving, but can't choose
the consequences which may end up leading to their termination.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Was it that you chose the sin of setting someone
up because you knew their faults?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
And then but he doesn't know who it is.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
That's the problem.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I'm trying to find out.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Well, whoever it is has a fault of being a thief.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Yeah, we want to find who that is and stop them. Okay,
I don't think that there's anything wrong with that. Do
you think that there's something.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Wrong with Oh this is good. We can talk about
that tomorrow. There you go. That's the Morning Rush Tomorrow today, God,
Tomorrow's Friday. Jason Aldean, you got the answer and the question.
You don't forget your Chili cookoff tickets. Remember if you
double click on the Morning Rush blog in ninety seven
fives dot com, we're gonna get double down. You double click,
(24:17):
you get double ticks. I'm gonna give you two tickets
with Jason Aldean and two tickets for the Chili Cookoff.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
We've got two tickets to the Chili Cookoff. I went
Eddie Money on you to go in Eddie Mahoney the
real name Eddie Mahoney.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Full Eddie Mahoney from the album No Control.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I believe you're correct.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I know I'm correct because I'll never forget it. I
was doing an interview with Eddie Mahoney backstage at the
Greenville Memorial Auditorium and we were promoting the show coming
to Columbia two weeks later, and I had him to
do some what we call liners. You get him to
record something, Hey, this is Eddie Money, the man with
(24:59):
no Control. Don't forget to get whatever tickets available on
ninety seven or one oh four to seven. W okay.
And he's just spitting out these lines and he says, Hey,
this is any Money, the man with no commode. And
I'm busted out laughing, and he said, use that one.
I said, I'm absolutely using that one, man with no commode.
(25:19):
We were the only radio station in America who was
running the self promoted any Money man with no commode
to her, Hey, what's going on in your neighborhood. How's
your commode doing? You got to commode to brag about
brand the Buddies. Hey, you used the same number to

on the morning Wash
Hello, killing Ash, Hey, it's tomorrow show Today Tomorrow. Our
favorite day Friday when you were a kid in school,
Did you have a special shirt or a special pair
of shoes or jeans you always wore on Friday?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Depended on what era I was in, But my favorite
era would have been I think around fourth grade through
I want to say seventh grade. So was that like
four years because I think it was during that four
year window that I was in a bowling league. And
(00:33):
it's an interesting bowling because we don't have these down South.
It's called duck pin bowling, and so the balls are
very small, they're like the size of a shot put.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Okay, and the pins.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Are about half the size of a what you would
call I guess you would call it bowling. It's actually
called ten pin bowling because it's a bigger ball. There's
another form of bowling called candlestick bowling, which is very
similar to the kind that I was doing duck pin,
but you'd have these little balls, but because they're small,
you'd get three shots instead of two shots. And I
(01:08):
was in a bowling league. Every Friday afternoon. My grandfather
would take me after school to the bowling league, and
I think we started bowling at like three and we'd
bowl toll like five or something like that, because I
remember I would get home right around the same time
as my stepdad was getting home, and we would have
dinner then. But it was that was my best day
(01:29):
of the week by far. My grandfather would not only
take me to the thing and watch me and cheer
me on, but then he would also on the way home,
say what do you want for dessert tonight? And we
would stop at the Pathmark grocery store and I would
get and I would wear my memory and I would
wear my bowling shirt you all day, and my bowling
(01:50):
shirt would have like so like when you in the
in the duck pin League, to break a hundred was considered,
I don't want to say super rare, but it was rare.
And so when you broke a hundred, they'd give you
a patch and you put it on your shirt. That's
a one hundred club pinch. Then I got one hundred
and twenty five. Then I got one hundred and fifty.
I think I maxed out at one seventy five. I
(02:11):
never got to the two hundred club, but I had
all those patches, and then your name's on it, and
it was like this blue bowling shirt with the with
black lettering on it and stuff, and it looks so cool,
and I was like, gosh, that was a great era
for me.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Was that four year window? I thought about that because
I'm going to go see my dad today. I don't
know what we're going to be doing today, but he
has been going through a bunch of old pictures and stuff,
and it was a picture of me and coming. I
guess on a Friday, because I remember I only wore
the shirt on Fridays. I love this shirt. But you
remember Gilligan on Gilligan's Island, that red shirt he had.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I don't know if I can specifically point to a
red shirt. Obviously I remember owned then I guess that
would be. I mean, in my mind, I don't remember
gill it's in I don't even remember him in clothes.
But it's not like this. I remember him nude. I
just don't remember his.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Outfit in Gilligan nude. It's kind of interesting as well,
is it. I think Marianne ever did that. I think so.
But I had a shirt it looked just like Gilligan's
only word on Fridays and I was wearing that shirt
this picture, and I remember that shirt.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Now as a kid, because Gilligan came on what early sixties,
and you're you're about eight years older than me, so
you're wearing that shirt as Gilligan's Island is in its prime.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Basically, I'm thinking, I thought it was an after school
show by then.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
So so what, like, are we talking like sixty four
sixty five?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It would have been let's I'm going to say third
or third grade. Let's say third grade, so i'd be
what ten, so like sixty eight, so yeah, sixty nine, all.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Right, and let's see what years Gilligan It first aired
in sixty four, Okay, so yeah, so that I mean again,
sixty eight.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I was one, Yeah, so I was.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I assume that would have been a very popular show
in six.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Worried on Fridays. I wish I had I need to
go find a shirt that looks like this so I
can wear it on Fridays.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
And I was just a kid again, because to me,
it would seem like that would be opening. Again, kids
are cruel, and so when you're looking for something.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
To call me, little buddy, you're going to make a
reference to my shirt. That's what I'm saying. Oh, I
lived it.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah, Oh they did mock the shirt. I mean yet
you see now that shows you how strong Jonathan Rush
was because most kids, ninety eight or percent or more
of children cave when they're insulted. And it's a good
one like that. That one stuck because you admitted it
looked like Gilligan shirt.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, and he was a dufe That's okay. Everybody washed him.
Nobody love Gilligan. You did not bend. No, I'm going
to walk in wearing a Skipper cap, but I wear
a Gelli Good shirt. Well, he didn't get the Skipper cap.
That was the that was skipper. Yeah, the skipper got
the skip had like a white hat.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Allen something, whatever his name was, It's right, it was
Alan something. You got a great memory for Gilligan's Island.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Well, they put the actors names big on the screen.
When we were kids, remember that, they always put the
actors names up real big.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Well, I hope everybody got their favorite Friday shirt.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
On for tomorrow, favorite Friday shirt.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
And maybe you're gonna have a favorite shirt you're gonna
want to wear down to the full throttle tour. At
the credit one Stadium, Daniel Island.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Definitely wearing a cowboy hat with a floral shirt for
that one. Do you have a cowboy hat? Sure? Okay,
I want to get a new one, but I haven't
pick one out yet.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
The word that we're using for what you're talking about
tomorrow is perfidious.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Perfidious, Oh, overstated, over zealous, excited, perfidious. It's actually deceitful,
or treacherous. I wonder if you've ever used I guess
that was an insult.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It was you, and you're so perfidious, like you're thinking
you're giving them a compliment.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, so I used it for me. Perfidious, deceitful, or treacherous.
This is why we give you the word so you
can use it to people that they don't understand the
word because they're not smart enough to don't listen to
the Morning Rush, so they don't even know you're insult
I didn't even know I was being insulted.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
But Jonathan, you've sweetened the pot. It's not just two
tickets to see Jason al Dean in September.
Speaker 1 (06:19):

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Back in the nineteen ninety well, I was only on
BLI in Long Island from nineteen ninety four to nineteen
ninety six, so this happened somewhere in that window. So
we'll just say nineteen ninety five. Somewhere around nineteen ninety five,
I had a guest on and they were marketing what
they felt was a comedic I'm guessing thing that you
(08:13):
could send to people you didn't like, particularly an ex
boyfriend or a girlfriend, right, and it would come in
a nice box and then you know, it looked like
a gift, and then you'd open it up and inside
it was if I remember right, it was monkey.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Crap, actual monkey crap. Yeah. Now, they went the River
Bankszoo and bought the monkey crap and then you went
and boxed it up, put a bowl on it, and
sell it as a gag gift.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yes, Now the monkey crap had been chemically treated. I
guess or something so it would be hardened so as
to not danger you when you touched it. But I
just remember we were talking about you know, this is
your this is what you're selling, and he's at Our
number one customers are ex boyfriends and girlfriends who mail
(09:05):
it to each other and say, you know this is
this is this is the value of our love. A
box a monkey crap. This new thing tops that. Okay,
this thing I just read about. You can read about
it on the Morning Rest blog at ninety seven five
WCS dot com. There's a it's called the Wildcat Ridge
Sanctuary in Marion County, Oregon for Valentine's Day if you
(09:27):
are upset with your now X, just for one day only.
It's called the My Bloody Valentine Special. And what you
do is you come in and you buy this. Well,
I don't I have no way of saying it other
than what it is. You're buying the heart of another animal.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
And they're gonna then write your ex's name on the
heart and then you can film it is that heart
is eaten by lions and tigers.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
What the heck is this?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I don't know. It's a freak fest out in Marion County, Oregon,
My bloody Valentine. I can't imagine anybody would even want this, Like, like,
am I that angry at them? I don't, and I
don't like what did am I?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Eating your heart? Is that? What's about? It?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Almost seems like it would be better to put your
name on it and say, this is what you did
to my heart. You you you destroyed my heart. You
fed it to the wild animals.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
This only confirms that whoever broke up with you made
the right choice. If you've made this is a decision,
This is how this is how crazy this dude is.
I don't even know what this means.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I'm trying to think about the brainstorming session, guys. Funding
is a little tight around here at the Big Cat
Wildcat Game. But what can we do? How do we
raise money? What if there's insane people who would be
with me to write them of their axe on a
heart and then we feed it to the big cats.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I'm having a flashback to a Facebook videos. All recently,
I've forgotten about this dude. He was from the upstate
of South Carolina. He was a guest on Johnny Carson
and Carson had so much fun with this dude describing
what he sold that he actually held him over during
the commercial break, and I'm sure they bumped out the
comedian who was scheduled to be at the end of
the program. You think it was Matt Damon, could have
(11:25):
been Matt Damon to do two segments with this guy.
I believe this guy made ear rings and pendants and
the like, and I know he made it out of manure.
I think he made it out of chicken manure.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
And the ladies were supposed to enjoy getting an ear
ring made out of chicken crap.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
But this wasn't a gag gift. This was like a
four real gift. You're supposed to enjoy this, Yes, you
enjoy this, and he was. He was making more money
selling chicken crap than he was selling chickens. Well, and
don't wear them on a hot day. No. I forgot
what he did to him. But it petrified it so
it wouldn't smell or anything, and it held its shape.
And he had a different kid like a cross. Let
(12:08):
you know, Jesus, you want to honor me. Jesus is thinking,
now here's the honor I've been looking for. I didn't
even know this guy existed. I don't even know what
year it was recorded, but it was funny to do
was I think it was some roebucks South Carolina if
I remember, Oh this is a South Carolinia. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's why I was watching it because they said in
there South Carolinium makes Carson laugh or whatever. It was
(12:30):
some roebucks South Carolina. Forgotten the guy's name, but it's
a funny. It's a funny video of the Tonight Show
with Johnny Carson speaking of jewelry.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
One of the most expensive things a man will ever
buy is an engagement ring for his beloved. Right now,
the average price for a engagement ring today is sixty
three hundred dollars. That's a lot of money for a
youngster to come up with six thousand, three hundred dollars.
But you could get a free one free engagement ring. Yes,
(13:02):
Red Robin, Red Robin, yum. If you're thinking of popping
the question, Red Robin is running a promotion around their
onion rings. Okay, now you have to propose at a
Red Robin location on February fourteenth of this year. Oh my,
(13:23):
and your proposal has to include somehow their fried onion rings.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Then the newly engaged.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Couple uploads of video or photo of that moment with
you proposing with the fried onion rings to their website
that must be uploaded by the nineteenth. They're going to
choose one winner, and that winner is going to get
a gift card to a jewelry store worth ten thousand dollars,
(13:54):
and you'll also get is if that wasn't enough, one
hundred and eighty dollars gift card to Robin so you
can enjoy their the towering onion rings throughout your entire engagement.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
So it's basically I see this only working if the
couple agrees we're gonna go stage this. We're gonna put
together a great little idea of we're gonna stage it,
we're gonna video it, we're gonna send it to see
if we can get an upgraded ring or to use
that as a as additional jewelry for our wedding.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I mean, the the obvious joke is I'm proposing to
you with this ring and it's an onion ring, and
then she's putting it on her finger and the ring, Yes,
it's very comedic, but if if she doesn't know that
that's happening. This is like today's question and it's over.
I think that this ends the the There is no engagement,
(14:47):
there is no more dating. You you you proposed in
a public restaurant with a freaking onion ring.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah see, I only see this coming off with a
couple agrees to do it, just stage it for the
video so they can send it in a Could.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
It be somehow that you work with the Do we
call them the chefs at Red Robin? I don't know, remember,
they're just called cooks whatever they whoever they are. Could
you put the ring in the onion ring?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
You know?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I have it like somehow. I don't know how you
do that. Well, that's the thing. You gotta be careful
about it.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I had a.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Friend who almost killed his uh now wife because he
had the ring put in the chocolate cake. And I
guess he thought that she would see it or something
when she like put the and that didn't happen, and
she started swallowing it.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Oh my god, and she's like, well, what's this?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
It spits out a diamond covered chocolate and goo and
get mocked.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
To this day because I've had Sally's cheesecake raspberry top
cheesecake delivered to the table with a ring on top,
on top so she could see it on top. Stuck
in there. Okay, she mocked me to this day. That
was the most stupid thing you've ever done. That was
the proposal? Still said, yes, that was the proposal. Though
(16:14):
I came at the end of the dinner. Did you
ever get on a knee? I did right after she
saw the ring yet.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
So she sees the ring you dropped to a knee,
and she's is she laughing or what is she doing?
Like when she sees the ring on top of this,
or she's like, oh my gosh, is this happening?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
He's laughing. This is so stupid. I can't believe this
is happening in public.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
So she's basically almost mocking you. She did mock me
right there. Yes, And I still ask her, I've never
heard this story. Twenty years I've been working with you,
I've never heard this story that you were mocked in
the proposal.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Just facially. She didn't verbalize it. She just looked at me, like, really,
you're doing this?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
At that point? Was there any doubt in you now?
Like maybe doubt on either side? Should I do this?
Because I don't know that I want to marry this woman.
Or could it be should I do this because she
I might actually get a no here? This might be
a no? Or did you just feel confident either way
it's happening.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah, I was all in, and I regret the cheesecake incident.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
That's what it's called, the cheesecake incidents. Have you not
even had cheesecake since that day?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
We swore? Okay, but I don't ever bring it up. Well,
I'm glad you shared it with us. That's a I
don't do that. Guys. That does not come off the
way you think it will, and it's going to come
off even worse with an onion ring.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
All right, Two more things to get to real quickly.
We got one. If you're trying to find love now,
it says sixty one million Americans are currently online dating.
I would venture more than half probably not interested in love.
Of the sixty one million, maybe thirty five million, or
not interested marriage and that sort of thing. They're just
(18:01):
I'm looking for somebody to what do they call it?
Netflix and chill. That's what they're That's what they're at.
That's what I'm guessing. I don't know these stats I'm
just making that one up. But there are sixty one
million Americans using dating apps. So this study broke down
the five most popular dating apps and then broke down
(18:23):
how many people percentage wises I guess, got married. So
what the like of that. The worst app if you
want to get married is okay Cupid. Out of the
Okay Cupid dating pool, of the people who used it,
(18:45):
eventually two point one percent got married. The best one,
I don't I think I've heard of it. It's called Hinge.
Hinge is the best dating app if you're looking for love.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Hinge. I've never heard of okkepit.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Eight point three percent of their users got married. So
if you're trying to find love on the internet, there
you go. There were We've broken a ninety percent chance.
You're not going to find it, even on the best app.
You could put it that way, and you don't have
to be getting nasty. We're taking all hope from you.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
And finally you're desperate enough to go into the app,
you're going Hinge because there's ten percent chance you're going
to find somebody, not even Tim. But I'm just rounding
that up.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I will say that when I was single, well, both times. Well,
I was single until I was thirty six, and then
I got married, and then I got divorced when I
was like forty something. I was married for like six years,
but then I had divorced, and then I went on
a dating app, and I did find one really nice lady.
(19:58):
And you remember that that's he was, and you were like,
she comes with her own checkbook. That was like the
big line because she was pretty rich. And it didn't
work out for whatever reasons.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
That's not important.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
But I did find somebody very nice on a dating app.
And before that, my first wife I met before they
had dating apps. On a I took out an ad
in like the New York Magazine or New Yorker or
one of those things, and that it's so funny because
I put Republicans are fun too. That was the name
of my ad, yes, because I lived in New York
(20:31):
City and I couldn't believe that I couldn't find anybody
who thought Republicans.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Were nice people.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
They're not even like worthy of life, Like we should
all be executed in New York.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
They're all still there.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
And this was around two thousand and one. But so
we started dating and it was like six to eight
months into the relationship, which she like, we ended up
talking about politics or something and she's like, hold up,
you're really a Republican. So I was in the ad,
(21:03):
was in the headlines. She said, I thought that was
a joke. Nobody thinks Republicans are cool anyway. The donut trick,
Jonathan said, what does that mean? The donut trick? We
got a morning Russian regular who's feeling really bad. Should
they apologize, should they try to step in in any way?
And the basic scenario of the story is that they
(21:27):
have a community refrigerator, and in the community refrigerator, like
so many offices, somebody stealing food in there, and this
person was victimized several times. And so to set a trap,
they put in what appeared to be like some sort
of jelly filled donut into the refrigerator, but instead of
(21:48):
having it filled with jelly, they had some sort of
blue dye. Gotcha, And so the individual who ate it
had blue dye for.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Like two days, cover their teeth in their mound.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yes, And as this person says, I just wanted to
teach them a lesson stop stealing food. That's all I
was trying to do. But it became such a big
deal that everybody saw it that now there's conversations about
firing this.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Person, and HR has already notified And did I go
too far? You entrapped them eating something that you don't
even know the consequences. Possibly they could be allergic to
blue dye, wasn't red dye?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
That's great, I would say, I wouldn't feel bad about
it at all because you use the word entrapment. They
didn't entrap them.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
They did right there in refrigerator where they could see it.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
That's where we're supposed to put our food, and then
the other people are supposed to know to not eat
your food. It's even got your name on it. It's
got a little box or a little bag that's got
your name on it. So I don't I wouldn't feel
bad unless you had done something like you said that
would have made them have some sort of health reaction. Yes,
But if the person is fired because they're a thief
(23:07):
and your coworkers can't trust him and he's been publicly
identified as a thief, I think that that's one of
those what is your phrase? You can't No, you can
choose your sin, but you can't choose the consequences.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
That's what the Covi culbets of the world would tell you.
And so this here's your sound. But you can't choose
your consequences.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
This individual chose the sin of thieving, but can't choose
the consequences which may end up leading to their termination.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Was it that you chose the sin of setting someone
up because you knew their faults?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
And then but he doesn't know who it is.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
That's the problem.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I'm trying to find out.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Well, whoever it is has a fault of being a thief.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Yeah, we want to find who that is and stop them. Okay,
I don't think that there's anything wrong with that. Do
you think that there's something.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Wrong with Oh this is good. We can talk about
that tomorrow. There you go. That's the Morning Rush Tomorrow today, God,
Tomorrow's Friday. Jason Aldean, you got the answer and the question.
You don't forget your Chili cookoff tickets. Remember if you
double click on the Morning Rush blog in ninety seven
fives dot com, we're gonna get double down. You double click,
(24:17):
you get double ticks. I'm gonna give you two tickets
with Jason Aldean and two tickets for the Chili Cookoff.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
We've got two tickets to the Chili Cookoff. I went
Eddie Money on you to go in Eddie Mahoney the
real name Eddie Mahoney.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Full Eddie Mahoney from the album No Control.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I believe you're correct.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I know I'm correct because I'll never forget it. I
was doing an interview with Eddie Mahoney backstage at the
Greenville Memorial Auditorium and we were promoting the show coming
to Columbia two weeks later, and I had him to
do some what we call liners. You get him to
record something, Hey, this is Eddie Money, the man with
(24:59):
no Control. Don't forget to get whatever tickets available on
ninety seven or one oh four to seven. W okay.
And he's just spitting out these lines and he says, Hey,
this is any Money, the man with no commode. And
I'm busted out laughing, and he said, use that one.
I said, I'm absolutely using that one, man with no commode.
(25:19):
We were the only radio station in America who was
running the self promoted any Money man with no commode
to her, Hey, what's going on in your neighborhood. How's
