I'm calling them Brooks and Donner So Brooks and Dinner
tickets for the Neon Moon Tour Charlotte David Lee Murphy's
the opening act. And at six point thirty, we're going
to ask you what the word abjure means.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Oh, that's that's easy.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Sure to object, to renounce, same thing, kind of you're
always in the ballpark, same thing. When you renounce, especially
with formal solemness, is all to.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Abjure solemness that brings it. Yeah, I that's when you're
it's almost like biting your lip. It's a heartfelt solemnness
about it.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yes, Like, uh, you know some cumpson fans may be
abjuring their fanship after a loss.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Oh got it.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
OK, Now that's the answer. It's on the Morning Rest
Plug ninety seventy five to w BCS dot com. We'll
ask you that question at six point thirty tomorrow morning.
And well, now we've got a morning wrestll regular who's
in a little bit of a well, I don't I
don't have a problem with this at all. He's worked
with a fella for many years. Friends, very good friends,

(01:28):
not just friend friend, very good friends.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Very good friends.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
His friend had a better position in the company than
he did.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Okay, or does all right?

Speaker 2 (01:38):
That friend was unceremoniously removed from the company about a
week ago. Well, and I'll just pick it up here.
He was fired. Blah blah blah. My dilemma is I
want to apply for that job. But for me it
would be life changing, huge increase in salary and absolute
home run for me. But I don't know if I

(02:00):
should go after it. I mean no, no, you say no, no,
do not do it?

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Why? Because this is this is like it's like picking
up and dating a girl your best friend dated. Don't
do it. Don't do it too close of a rub.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
I I it was. I strenuously disagree. Is that what
they said and a few good men, is that the
way it worked? We got the objection on the record.
I strenuously object.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
That the way it works.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
To me, if the.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Okay, then let me rethink it.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
If if the guy is legit a friend and he
sees that you have an opportunity to improve your life
and that somehow makes him unhappy.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Okay, it's not about him making more money. It's about
him doing the job that I used to do. Now,
let's how does this play out? You do it and
you excel in it. Okay, Now see that creates a problem.
Why because you did the job that I couldn't do.
But I don't have a problem if sometime I see you,
I think about the fact that you're doing the job
that I used to do and you're excelling in it

(03:11):
and I did not.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Well, you know what I value more than that friendship? Money?

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Well, you gotta go down to You're going to get
down to the bottom line.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
You want to pay me the difference and sellary to
not go after that job.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
No, don't just going to ruin the friendship, ruin it.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
I I would be I like to think i'd be
happy for the guy if if he got my old job,
if I was for what, We don't know why he
was fired. Does he say an email let me go
back and just reread that real quickly.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
He was ceremoniously dismissed.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
If I do get the job, it's be ecstatic. Blah
blah blah. He doesn't say why the guy was fired.
I don't know if that's he was.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Doing it right. Now, you're going to show your friend
you could do his job right.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
But I mean the guy it's here. It says I
have this good friend of mine. He was fired from
the job that he's been at for years. So to me,
the guy knew how to do the job. Either there
was some sort of trailing off in his ability, maybe
got too old to do the job. That happens, maybe
he just slacked out because he was coming there, or
perhaps they're saying, we're going to do a reduction in force,

(04:20):
so let's just use round numbers. That guy was making
one hundred and fifty. The new position's going to pay
one hundred and ten, so we're going to say forty grand.
But our friend here is making, say seventy, So he
gets a chance to go from seventy to one ten.
The company's still saving a lot of money. I don't know.
To me, it's a I'm going for it. I'm always
going to go for it.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
You don't care about your friend, you're going to throw
your friendship away?

Speaker 2 (04:47):
All right, we'll see how We'll see what the morning
rust of regulars say about that tomorrow morning about seven ten. Now,
how do you feel about tipping? We got a new
survey out today on that, and ninety percent of Americans
now say that tipping has gotten out of control.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
The vast majority of them believe that businesses are trying
to use customer tips to replace paying their employees. Eighty
three percent of Americans say that if it's an automatic
tip by like, have you ever been to those places
where they say it's already there, it's already built in.
If you don't want that tip, then you have to
push a button to Eighty three percent say that should

(05:25):
be legally banned.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
That should be.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
And I do like this one here? Where is it
that there was? We had one of the things that
I thought was Thirty percent of Americans say they now
tip less if they're presented with the tip suggestion screen.
I was actually going to tip you a little something more,
but then you gave me.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
That thing away. Go to the bottom one it do
you really? Yep? Always if you flip that around to
put it in my face you're trying to pressure me
into tipping you.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Now, I'm trying. I'm not I'm good at math, but
I'm not maybe great with percentages, and so I haven't
really been able to run the numbers of my head yet.
But fifty percent of Americans say they now tip in
those situations because of social pressure rather than good service.
So I'm wondering if totally this is actually still a

(06:20):
benefit for the employees that even though the Americans are
becoming hostile towards it and some of them are going
for the lower tip percentage than in the long run,
we're getting more people to tip because of the social pressure.
So I don't know how that. I haven't calculated those numbers,
but it might it might be a rub. It might
actually be that they're getting more tips. So I don't

(06:44):
know on that one. But how do you feel about tipping?
I think I'm with you, Jonathan, it's out of control.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yeah, I might. And I wish that we knew going
in whether the tips actually go to the servers, because
then we're hearing that restaurants just take that to the
bottom line. Now they may argue that allows us to
hire a better servers.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Say tipping should be replaced. Now I hadn't. I have
never considered this, and maybe this is what they do
in England, because like, is it in England? I know
in some countries, if you try to leave a tip,
it's an insult, and I think England was one of them.
I think I remember when I went to England, they said,
don't tip, because then they're insulted ant, like, oh you

(07:27):
do Medicans, you think you can buy and sell me
with your money. But I guess in other countries what
they have is an instant employee rating system, so the
tip is actually like they'll give you the screen, did
you get five star service, four star service, three star service,
whatever it is, And that way the businesses can then

(07:48):
decide to pay them how much based off their star reviews,
So the better employees get more money at the end
of the week, and the ones who underperformed or either
fire or get less money exactly. But it doesn't cost
me anything, I mean, obviously I'm guessing the food costs
a lot more, right, So that's you know, like if

(08:10):
you go to a restaurant where you're normally paying thirty dollars,
maybe now it's forty dollars because there's no tips involved.
So something to think about there as we maybe review
tipping and maybe we're gonna change it here in America.
You and I will change it tomorrow. We've also got
a morning rush story here.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Oh I did notice something yesterday. Maybe servers could tell
us if this is true. My dad and I had
lunch yesterday and the total bill was twenty two dollars. Okay,
So he put down two dollars is the tip? Okay?

Speaker 2 (08:41):
So he's only he's doing ten.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
And I'm thinking that's really not enough.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
Is he thinking that's his percentage of the tip and
he was expecting you to pick in the other two?

Speaker 1 (08:53):
No, I'm thinking that he's thinking that that's that ten percent.
That's a generational thing. We're way beyond ten percent. Now
it's twenty five, pops, We're up there around twenty five now.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
For me, I still use the twenty percent tip as
the good tip. If it's great, I'll go to twenty five.
If it's good, I'll go twenty. If it's not so good,
I'll go fifteen if it's horrible. I'm sometimes the spiteful
guy who'll leave a nickel.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
I did that one time, and I'll never do it again.
I'll let the penny. Yeah, and I'll never ever ever,
So you'd rather do nothing do that again?

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yes, I'm trying to send you a message that I
was going to tend that I was never here. Yeah,
I want the outlish when they mess up. I want
them to know that I do tip, but I'm not
tipping you. I don't want him to think, oh, he
forgot to put a tip.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
I was young and stupid. It was a stupid thing
to do, and it's probably the most cringey moment of
my life ever. Wish somebody put me in my place
in front of everyone.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Well, how could they put Nobody puts nobody puts baby
in the corner, and nobody puts Jonathan Rush on.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Their rate, Jonathan Rush in his place. And she was right.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
I don't believe this.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
She was right.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Well, I mean, if she was to confront me, i'd
say the reason I'm not tipping you is you spilled
the water on me. You were late with the food delivery,
the food was cold, you got the order wrong. You
don't deserve to have a job here. You should be fired.
And I want you to know that I do tip people,
but I'm not tipping you because you are a horrible waitress.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Was totally blindsided by it and uncharacteristically had no response. Wow,
but I get that story to this day.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
Maybe we'll hear that story tomorrow. How about this, Americans
are burning out at record rates now. So according to
this survey of two thousand adults, the typical burnout age
peak burnout age has been forty two.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
I was going to guess forty five, and forty two.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Has been about the age average for like twenty or
thirty years when they've been doing these surveys. However, amongst
younger people, the Gen zeers and the millennials, you're not
going to believe twenty seven twenty five wo, I.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Was given away too much credit.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Twenty five is the peak burnout average now, and they're
overwhelmed by number one. Finances, politics is number two, job
number three, and physical health number four. So and it's
almost exclusively those four issues. And so I don't know

(11:47):
what to say. According to this survey, now, this is
a survey of all Americans. Most Americans, eighty three percent
of Americans say entering adulthood today is harder to do
when they did it, and even more difficult than just
a decade ago. So in twenty fifteen, it was easier.

(12:08):
If you had just graduated college in twenty fifteen, you're,
you know, twenty three, twenty four, twenty five years old,
you had it easier than today's twenty three, twenty four
to twenty five year old. According to that now, that's
the survey, seventy two percent of Americans say it's going
to be even harder to become an adult ten years
from now. I don't burn out. I don't agree with

(12:33):
any of that. I think becoming an adult has always
been hard.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
You should just be hitting your stride. You're about to
go into a full sprint here at twenty five.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Well, they're saying I can't get out the blocks. You've
made it too hard for me.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
To me.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
And again, if you believe that it's harder to become
an adult now than it was just ten years ago,
and certainly a lot harder than it was when you
and I became adults, then I guess that's a built
in excuse.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Okay, yeah, I guess. Uh So, I.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Mean, are you have kids that are in that age
group kind of are they? Is Lee burnt out yet? Is?

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Did any of them say that they found it really
hard to become an adult compared to did you see
them experiencing things that you didn't experience.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
I hear them complaining about it, but they weren't like
giving up.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
I'm sure I complained. And whatever, it's hard adult, it
still sucks.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
It does. Just just just haven't been responsible.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
I'm trying to remember what I was at. I was
somewhere like yesterday or the day before, and I remember
thinking the you know, if I was a kid, I
would have bought because you got a pocket full of money,
so to speak. Right, A pocket full of money, by
the way, doesn't mean you've got thousands of dollars when
you were a kid, like in today's to be like,
you got like twelve dollars. Have you got twelve dollars

(14:03):
in your pocket and you're presented with the You're in
a store with the greatest snacks available, you're buying those
bags of.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Snacks and you're eating that absolutely.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
But now that I'm an adult, I'm like, well, that's
bad for my blood pressure. That's bad. I can't do that,
you know, And so you got to make the adult decision.
I gotta go home. I got to edge the lawn.
I got to pick up two yard debris. You got
a storm last night. I gotta think about that. I
got to check the roof of what are you kidding me?
That's what adulting is, though, But I don't know that

(14:35):
it's harder today.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
You barn it out. That's good. You know somebody burned
out just gave up at twenty seven. They gave up already.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Twenty five is the five five burnout age. Good Lord Jesus,
they've been in the job market for two and a
half years.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
I got to put a whole generation on my prayer list. Thankfully,
it's not name by name. I just pray for you
by generation.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
By the way, for baby boomers, the number one thing
that's burning out baby boomers now politics. M I believe
that number two is their finances, and then number three
mental health. I'm not really sure what mental health is.
Mental health and physical health are almost tied, but the
politics is the top concern for baby boomers. What's y'all

(15:16):
sweating about? You ain't got no control over it.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Just relax. You learned you're old enough to know that body.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Yeah, you ain't changing.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Nothing ain't going to change.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah, you got.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
And if it does change, it's only going to be temporary. Well,
it'll be a whole whole other elected group of crooks
coming in.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
It's like worrying about the weather. What are you gonna
do about it? It's happening. Enjoy the ride. You got
a hurricane coming.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
What's happening over here in your neighborhood? We should be
talking about what you got? Ready, got what you get?
Is it greening up over there? Man? It's looking beautiful
across the state of South Yeah, it is across the country.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yesterday somebody told me she saw a little pollen dust
on her vehicle the other day.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
I have not seen it though. No about all that.
