Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Kelly Nash, Good morning. Let's do this tomorrow show
today Thursday, the twenty third of April. Brother and so
I know we got a chance to win some will
and Nelson tickets.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
We're getting down to the final two pair here, right.
We got tomorrow and then we got Friday, and that'll
be it for us. I think that it's on the
online as well. If you want another shot at Willie
Nelson concert tickets, it's there. And as we've been telling you,
it's for Memorial Day weekend that Sunday night, May twenty fourth,
down in North Charleston and what's called the Firefly Distillery.

(00:33):
Maybe you can give us a review of it. We've
never been the word of the day. I haven't listened
to the pronunciation, but I'm gonna go with lutic.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
L u d c oh ludic. Okay. I I have
no idea.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
I think I just actually did something. I think I
just did something to lutic.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Is that a German?

Speaker 2 (01:00):
It's spontaneous, undirected playfulness.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Okay, So that's what you're.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Doing when you're lunic. So that's the word of the day.
The answer is right below it on the Morning Rushblog
ninety seven five to WCS dot com tomorrow morning six thirty.
Jonathan Rush tells you what number to be and provide
him with that definition, and you'll win Willie Nelson concert tickets.
I am amazed at what the average American summer vacation

(01:28):
is going to cost, knowing that everybody's broke, knowing that
everybody's saying in times like these, I find it shocking that,
according to this new survey from Nerdwallet, the average American
plans to spend almost four thousand dollars on their summer vacation. Wow.

(01:48):
Knowing again, the the median income is fifty two thousand
dollars a year, your take home on that's going to
be about forty you're spending a tenth. You're tithing your
vacation ten percent for a week.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
That is a lot of dough. But if you're looking
for ways to save money, we've got a bunch of
them right now in the morning Rush blog like how
to get your US air hacks like save seventeen percent
on airline tickets. If you buy on this day or
fly on this day, maybe don't go to the place

(02:24):
that you had originally planned for. Look for places that
are on discount. Destinations that are also very popular to
get to make it. Now, that's a great one. Can
you make it a work caation. If you can turn
this into a work thing, you can actually write a
part of it off.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
That's very true. You could charge it, by the way.
I know I've told you heavily scrutinized by the irs,
but you could.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Rick D's was a very famous radio disc jockey who
was my idol when I was a kid, and I
got to interview him once and he told me. I
didn't listen, but he did tell me some great advice
which I could still I guess follow, but I still
haven't done it yet. He said one of his secrets

(03:09):
was to invest in his favorite vacation destinations. So he
owned a taco bell in Hawaii. He owned like a
Burger King in Paris or something like that. So he's like,
anytime I go there, the trip is written off. Yes,
because I'm going I'm going for business. I got to
check my investments.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
And he did go there for lunch. I did have lunch.
He was there, Yeah, and he, you know, just did
an inspection. That's why the inspection.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
That's how the rich get richer. Jonathan, but We had
a whole bunch of other ideas over there for you
that was provided by much bigger brains than ours, so
you can figure out ways to save money. This story
here just absolutely infuriated me, and I knew if it
had infuriated me, well, Jonathan Rush is about to duct

(04:00):
tape his head or it's going to explode when I
tell him this. So, and it's no surprise. It's coming
from your friends at nerd wallet or wallet hub, my
wallet hub, wallet hub.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
They hate Columbia. They hate South Carolina.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Well, it's not even that, it's they hate everybody down
here where they rank the top ten states to live
the American dream. If you want to live the American dream,
these are the ten best states. I'll start at number
ten and work my way backwards or work my way up.

(04:36):
Like Casey Casem said, when the numbers get smaller, the
American dreams get bigger. So number ten state, Virginia, number nine,
New Hampshire number eight, Illinois number seven, Maryland come number six,
New York, New York number five, Minnesota, oh my god,

(04:58):
number four, Vermont number three, my homeland of Connecticut. Number
two Massachusetts.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
And if you.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Really, really really want to live the American dream. The
best state in America for that is New Jersey. The
gardens days, they're gardening, they love.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
It, and they always have to ask you. At this point,
it's not looking at the bottom of maybe survey, give
me the ledger here, how many people are included or
whatever it is you're reading. In this case, we say,
what are the parameters that they use to come about
with this list of the best places to chase and
or obtain the American dream.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
I'm assuming it's whoever has the highest tax rates. The
higher the taxes, the better the dream. That's got to
be it also, higher the crime rate, the better the
dreams Illinois, Are you kidding me? The crappier, the wed
whether the better the dream? New New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
New Jersey.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Come on in New York and they give us no explanation.
There is no way to justify that. That's why they
didn't give us the explanation. There's no way to justify.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Because we're experts. That's why we're experts. Belie, we just
told you where to go live.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
So I'm sure that the people who live in those
crappy states, and yes, I'm from several of those crappy states.
I lived in Maryland, I lived in Vermont, I lived
in Connecticut, I've lived in I've lived in a lot
of these places. One of the ones that I did
live in that I thought might have made it was Ohio.
But that didn't make it.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
I'm surprised it didn't.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah, well, Ohio is a little too bipartisan. It's a
little two in the middle. Same reason Pennsylvania didn't make it.
They got the crappy weather.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
They just don't have the people in Ohio Citi scruntled
that'll get along with any political party. You know, they
have any beliefs amongst themselves. Uh, they got good delis.
I'll give them that. They do have good delis.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
I mean when I think of the American dream, obviously
I'm thinking about home ownership. I think that's what most
people transpose that into. But also in my if I
was a foreigner, if I was looking at America from
a place where I had never been to.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
America, yep.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
I think there's a couple of different dreams that I
think would evolve. One would be the wide open spaces
of like the West, like I would be picturing Montana, Wyoming,
those types of places. That's the American cowboy and all
that sort of thing. The other narrative would be beaches
and good times, even though I don't want to live
in California now, that would have been one of the

(07:29):
American dreams. Florida would be in the American dream. Texas
would be in the American dreams because they got the
hot weather and lots of beaches.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Remember the scene Hunt for Bred October of course, when
one of the inner circle of the crew that was
going to seek refuge in America he was shot in
the chest. His last words were, I would love to
have seen Montana. Sure, that's the American dream and South

(07:59):
Carolina has a lot of those places as well.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Love Actually, is that the name of the movie or
the one where what's his name? Is the new like
Prime Minister Hugh what's his face? He's the Prime Minister
of England. Yeah, I want to say Hugh Grant.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Hugh Grant's right, how quickly we forget?

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, he's the prime Minister And they keep calling his
girlfriend Chubsy's or whatever. And then there's another guy. Because
there's all these different stories and if you haven't seen
the movie. There's like four different stories, all based on
British people, and it's all different forms of love. That's
where the famous scene where the guy knocks on the
doors in love with his best friend's wife and he's

(08:39):
holding the signs up and dropping him like Bob Dylan did.
But there was another guy whose American dream was to
come to America and hook up with chicks. And he
didn't know where to go, and so he threw a
dart or something and he ended up like picking like
Milwaukee or something like that. He flies into Milwaukee in
the winter and it's freezing, and the girls thought he

(09:01):
was cute because he had the British accent.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
They loved the British accent.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
I think he ended up bringing the girls back to
England if I remember the movie right.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Remember the guy in Atlanta had a British accent. He
worked from ten to a until two pm on a
station called Star ninety four. Oh, I don't remember. His
name was Craig something. Okay, women loved him. I thought
that's a stroke of genius. I don't know who hired
that guy, but absolutely that was a stroke of genius
to get.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
The guy with the British accent.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
I remember in the early or late nineties, I should say,
a bunch of rock radio stations switched the voice the
guys who like you hear here at ninety shit and
five maybe you see that guy. A bunch of them
went to a British sounding much sweeper guy for like
the modern rock.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that. Yeah, very cool.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
That was kind of short lived though, I think that
only lasted about two years.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
They're very attracted to the accent. It would wear a
thin quickly on me.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
I think, yeah, accents. You know, people think they can
read a lot into you based off of accents, like
if you're oftentimes British. I was making this joke the
other day about Christine I'm in poor people think she's
smart just because she has a British accent. You people
think you're tough if you've got a Boston accent, Newe.

(10:19):
There's a lot of softies in Boston. I mean there's
a whole bunch of these accents where people read into
it and they think like you're wealthy, or you're smart,
or you're tough, or you're a weakly.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
You just think about an accent and something automatically comes
to mind with the personality or the traits of that
type person, like an Australian accent, that would be someone
who's very outdoorsy and adventurous.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Well, think about the Southern accent for years. It depends
on which Southern accent you're using. But that's been portrayed
as an idiot, somebody who's dumb but backwards, has no
idea and so and then it's usually in the stories
when they have somebody with that accent, then they'll at
the end surprise them like, oh, he's actually got a doctor.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
You know. He's like, that's right.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
You all didn't know that was going to come to you.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
So I remember one of those record guys called up
and I was a programmer at so It's this was
in the Upstate and he's talking real fast and he's
give me all his priorities. This week. He was always
talk about some of the hit records. It's Columbia Records.
As a matter of fact, Columbia Records got a big list,
you got a big lineup, great artist. Here are the
songs we're talking about this week. D D D hang
on a second, hold on trying to take notes here

(11:29):
on what you're telling me because I know it's Oh,
I forgot him calling the South. I got to talk slore.
I said, I got a better idea. You don't ever
have to call back click and oh for a record
representative to hear you're not going to take his phone call.
Oh my gosh, you could have walked up and slapped
his wife and been better off.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Might even got a little money out of the deal.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Sure as hell. Two days later, guess who's standing on
the front doorstep here to apologize. Oh, the guy from Columbia.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
My attempted humor fell upon deaf ears. And I don't
blame you for hanging up on me. I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Two things you gotta remember. We talk slow because of
all the possible BS answers that we could give you
over whatever it is that you claimed be true. We're
deciding which one is really the best for this particular moment.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
I thought there was another one.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Oh. The other one is I need three dozen T
shirts for us.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
That's why we don't have any more T shirts to
give away around here. We used to have T shirt records.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
What happened to the T shirt records? All right?

Speaker 2 (12:39):
So Jonathan, she was on spring break with a bunch
of her college buddies. I guess, And again, this is
a long planned trip, and when they're down there at
the I'm guessing Florida, that would be my guess. One
night at a bar, she met a beautiful young.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Man, is how she described him.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
I'm not often hearing guys described as beautiful, but this
guy apparently was to her at least. And she doesn't
tell me exactly what happened, but I can kind of
read between the lines. She ended up spending the rest
of the trip with this guy. Oh for her, and
then she said, we live close enough where we're actually
going to continue dating now that we're you know, she's

(13:23):
back here. Yeah, but she says she's been getting the
cold shoulder from the girlfriends, and they're saying typical. You
actually kind of ruined the trip. We had planned on
things for four women and now everything's been thrown off
because you couldn't you know. I don't know if the
phrase keep it in your pants applies here, but you know,

(13:44):
whatever you ditched us for for a dude, and what
about us we had we paid for all this to.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Go with you, for you. We were all getting together
as a group. It wasn't specifically for her. No, but that's.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
What we want to spend time with you, and you
blew us off.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Women always at right, they're encouraging each other while they're
all looking for a relationship, and as soon as one
finds a relationship, they're all turn on her. And then
you stab her with your stealing knives and you just
can't kill the beast.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
Oh, we're quoting some eagles around there.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Women would turn on each other in a minute, as
soon as one find finds love and the other one
hadn't found it yet, or the other couple, but the
other three in this case, because it was four girls, right, yeah,
four girls. They can't be happy for her. You had
to go. You have to come back to the misery party.
This is why we have the wine night, not so
that we could drink wine. So good wine about it?

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Well, you know you're quoting the eagles. I'll quote Sammy Kershaw.
I think what we have here is a third rate
romance in a low rent rendezvous.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
I can't believe you would say that.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Because I mean, you're at you're in Florida at a
probably not even at a hotel. This isn't all likelihood
a motel. You got young college people. You were just
hooking up, and your girlfriends are absolutely right.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
To paint it that way. They lived close to each other,
they're very excited about continuing the relationship.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
We'll see how excited they are in six months.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Oh this is good. I think I'll get a little
pushback from some girls tomorrow, but I'm sticking with my
defensive of her.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
I'm just, I just. I remembered the third rate romance.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Low re Rone. I heard that song not too long ago,
did yep? And I remember thinking, I have forgotten some
of the lyrics of the song, but they're really, really,
really good. It something about it never rang more true.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Something about I've never done this type of thing before.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
It's so good. I gotta look. I gotta go listen
to that song again now, because I remember laughing out loud, going,
this is so classic.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
There was a great song.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Hey, what's going on in your dabhood with you talking
about it? You keep one of the girls out of
the club because she found a boyfriend, a boy a guy.
I thought, that's what you all talked about when you
got together, is how much you've missed love and you
wanted to love because you know as soon as sob
he finds love, you're going to kick them out. You're
not going to celebrate their live. What's happening. We'll let
us know and tomorrow get a chance to win. You

(16:21):
will and Nelson tickets just after six thirty the numbers
eight or three, nine sixty seven. We've very given you
the words you get referenced. You can read it tomorrow
morning to win. Your tickets are willick and if you
want to share something with us. By the way, I
got a question. There's a tradition going on. It has
been going on in New Orleans. Whenever they have like
a wedding announcement, most people have like a wedding announcement party.

(16:44):
Typically it's a gathering of people after the wedding, after
the private moment when you say I do. But now
all that's been roomed by social media, because you got
to have four cameras and a director to catch her
every moment, every angle, make sure the bride looks her
very best, or the bride to be in this case.
But now it's spilling over into the streets in Charleston,
much like it does in New Orleans. Have you been
to one of these parties where you do the announcement

(17:06):
and then they have a band and then you go,
you march in the street, hold up traffic that seems illegal,
and the celebrated couple is followed by all the wedding
or want to be wedding party members?

Speaker 2 (17:18):
Want to be party members? Yes, just auditioning right here?

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Exactly is this going on in Charleston. I haven't seen
one of these. I've seen the you know, everybody knows
about the bride. What do you ca? What am I
thinking of? Is the bride parties. That's parties where they
got the thing hanging around their neck. I gotta say
the thing. I know what you're talking about. Yeah, yeah,
I've seen it. After the wedding, you got the real
thing hanging around your neck because you don't cut.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
That all that's actually in your back pocket.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Hey, you let us know if have you seen that?
I gotta find out, Hey, what's happening you? Let us
reach out to us in social media. You can also
email us. I'm Rush at ninety seventy five people, do
