Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Monsieur, Kelly Nash, Good morning. Tomorrow will be Friday.
Thank god tomorrow's Friday. Yeah, I'll be in a much
better movie by tomorrow. But coast today, I get to
eat lunch. I haven't eaten anything since a Monday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
You go into Red Lobster for all you can eat shrimp.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
You know something. I'm so tempted to go there. I
want to go. I haven't been to the Red Lobster
in a long time. I can't even remember them.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I was gonna say, I don't think you've probably been
this century.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I don't think so. I think the last time I
went to a Red Lobster it was for a Richland
County Sheriff's Department fundraiser and we were on Decor Boulevard.
You and I were there together. Oh, I was there.
I think that's how long it was. I can't remember,
but we were there for a Cops and Something fundraiser.
(00:47):
That's the last time I've been. But I'm telling you
there's some kind of addictive ingredient in their blue cheese dressing.
Every time I would drive bypass the Red Lobster, I
had the urge to just turn around and pull in,
I gotta have that dressing. I wasn't even there for
the shrimp. I just wanted the salad. I think there's
something addictive in the dressing. I think about it every
(01:08):
time I drive past it.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
That's great, and you don't ever stop in.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
No, I'm not a huge fan of Red Lobster.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
But if you love the Red Lobster's blue cheese salad dressing,
are you afraid it won't live up to your memories?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
You know? I don't remember really why I wasn't a
fan of Red Lobster. I got to go back to
the for the Endless Shrimp. Though. When I was looking
at the menu, I had no idea. Maybe this is
why I didn't like it. I thought it was overpriced.
There's got something called the Ultimate Ultimate Something Dinner or
whatever it's called. You can also get it for lunch,
and you can get like three of like their signature
(01:44):
items could have been a filet mignon, could have been
a lobster tail, certainly a shrimp variety. You get all
that forty eight ninety nine for the Ultimate. Now the
shrimp is now twenty four to nine nine or twenty
nine nine nine, depending on your location.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Can eat, No, you can eat, and we're not getting
paid for this. This is just this is us just
talking about it. I mean all of America loved it.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
The eight is so much they drive the company and
the bankruptcy that what did the company do? They cut
out of bankruptcy and they said, hey, let's do that again,
run it back. Let's drive our company into certain ruins.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
They lost in twenty twenty three seventy six million dollars
on shrimp alone.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Again, it's like booking the Norwegian Hey, uh, the Norwegian
Iceberg cruise where you actually follow the same trek as
the Titanic. Why would you want to go on that?
Why would you do that as a business. We're gonna
sink our ship again.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Well this time you want to go with as sinkable.
It's truly unsinkable. We do have our final pair of
tickets tomorrow for Willie Nelson coming to North Charleston Memorial
Day weekend, if you want to go. The word of
the day is Kira Witchett, Krra Witchett. And Jonathan hasn't eaten,
(02:57):
so it's hard for him to come up with an.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I am so much, I'm so carved, starved, I cannot
generate a brainwave.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I almost feel like what I'm about to say is
a car witchet? Why are you doing this?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Exactly?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
But a car of witchet is a nonsensical question. Look
at you or your car, wichets.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I weighed in now. Granted I was a little overweight.
I weighed in at one ninety eight okay, before I
started the first part of this caloric reduction.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
But people need to know you're a tall man. You're
like six eighty six to two.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
So ten days ago I weighed one night. Now, I
don't think that's bad at all. I did have a
little extra baggage around my waistline this morning, butt naked,
because Sally said that's when you weigh yourself.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Were you button naked at one ninety eight? No, well,
so that might add at a few pounds. You might
have been one ninety five six, okay, so it's coming off.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Now. If I get down to one eighty four, my
face looks really thin. I look gaunt. People start saying,
are you well? So I'm not getting past one eighty
five again? Are you okay? Jonathan? You look you look
you look like you're not well. Who wants to hear
that when you walking on. I work so hard to
get here. It work so hard to get to the
(04:21):
point out. Certainly, if you work out a little bit,
you put on some weight because muscle weighs more than fat.
I get it.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
But we're not talking about poundage. We're just talking about
you're not eating. That's I don't I'm not a fan
of miserable. Yeah, I'm not a fan of.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Literally have had nothing but a couple of supping pills
and some kind of detox shake three times a day.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Well, let's uh take your mind off that for a
moment and see if this might inspire you. What are
you spending your tax refunds on? Now? You probably don't
have a tax refund, but the people who do, twenty
three percent of them say that they regret how they
spent last year's tax refund.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
That's the problem. You allow the government to overtax you,
so you get this gigantic windfall. But it's easy come,
easy go, and that word definitely, no matter what else
you may equate that to when it comes to cash,
if it's easy com, it's easy go. I don't think
anybody could ever argue with that, and with the easy
(05:19):
com because you only get let them nibble a little
bit out of your ass every paycheck, then you get
this gigantic windfall. Then you blow it.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Well, it says that some of these people have learned
their lessons. We've got fifteen percent of them, though, say
I'm doing it again. Even though I regretted it, I'm
still going to have a big time with the money.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
You know, something that that floats your boat.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Nine percent say they're going to put their refund all
of it into their retirement savings. We've got twenty six
percent say they're planning to pay down some debt with it.
Apparently twenty four percent of the people say they plan
on just using it to cover their day to day expenses.
(06:08):
So there you go. That's a tax refund time. Hopefully
you're able to enjoy a little I mean, I think,
you know what, if you get a tax refund, maybe
take a couple hundred bucks out of it and spend
it on something that you.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Could I go, spend twenty nine ninety nine and get
the endless rent. I mean, that's is that my celebration.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
It might be. By the way, this is not for
Jonathan will listen to this, because this is about food
the best ice cream shop list has been put out,
and I will strongly disagree with this because none of
them are anywhere near us. According to them, they're all
in New York or California, it seems, the only ones
(06:46):
that are not in New York or California. We got
one in DC called the Happy ice Cream. Nantucket has
one called the Juice Bar, and then the other the
actually the number one one is not there, but it's
pretty close. It's in Newtown, Connecticut, ferris Acres Creamery, which
I've eaten at, and I don't agree that it's anywhere
(07:07):
near as good as our Scoop of Heaven ice cream
that we have right here in Elgin. I'd say, if
you're just going on just flavor, Scoop of Heaven is
the best one out there.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Some of these, I mean, it's hard to beat. If
you're in Nantucket and you're watching the sailboats, sure that's
a great memory. And I'm sure you're way over paying
for that ice cream. You're probably paying like ten dollars
to see an Elgin. You're not gonna see any You're
not gonna see nothing. You're gonna see like a gas station.
I think there's a gas station next year, maybe a dentist.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Well that's the thing, you know, if you talk about
that one, is that a franchise.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Not yet, it's it's owned by Bill McDaniels and Suzanne Pucci.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
And I've never eaten there, and I keep saying I
gotta go eat there because Kelly talks about it, the
process and how it sucks all the oxygen now so
it condenses the flavor of the ice cream, makes it
just it's an explosion in your mouth.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
That's exactly what happened.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
It's like it's a glacier explosion. So I want to go.
I want to go get it.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And Daniel Rickenman says he drives out there all the
time just for the ice cream and for a donation. Well,
I'm sure he asks. He's a politician, he's got to ask.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Right, I'd have a small scoop And in a moment
with the man with the check.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Book, could I have a check? I'll pay for the
small scoop if you give me a check.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
So, but here's the thing. I mean, you think about
the great ice cream shops here in Columbia that we
grew up with kind of I mean they're not really
known for ice cream. And all the ice cream they
kind of bolt like out of Hershey's or the other
suppliers of ice cream. They scooped that out of the
big tubs, you know, all that kind of stuff, much
like a Baskin Robbins or a Marble Slab. I was
never a huge fan of the Marble slab.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I do like ice cream, Yeah, I didn't like mar.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I like handles. It's you know, for they have. If
you look at for a variety, go to Handles. They
got like ninety five different flavors available and they claim
they're made fresh daily, which seems to be unbelievable. Well,
you can make ninety five flavors fresh daily. Les that
(09:08):
we're making all ninety five we're making something. H We're
not a something here is we have a lot of varieties.
I'll give them that. And I do like the strawberry cheesecake.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I will I'm gonna guess you're going to be a
fan of this idea, Jonathan los angele are we to
follow Los Angeles Unified School District? Now they become the
first district in America? And I thought it was going
to be something about gender or something crazy instead. On Tuesday,
(09:40):
their board voted to become the first school district in
America to begin limiting screen time for students.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I thought they'd ready voted on this, and I applauded
them when I first read about it. But they guess
how it's been finalized. This is a great idea.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
And so they have now decided that you will not
need a computer for homework, that all homework will be
he assigned with pen and paper assignments, Los Angeles County.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yesterday, I was a little Thomas, he's eighteen months old.
We were doing some stuff and he saw some children's books. Oh,
we're at Sam's Cloth. He saw some children's books, and
he loves books. So I said, get that boy some books.
He needs new books. So we got three new books.
As long as I can keep his nose in a book.
The longer I can keep his nose in a book,
the better I will feel. Get him away from the
(10:26):
damn screens.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
And I understand that, but I also I'll just play
what do they call it, the Devil's Advocate In the
year what are we in twenty twenty six? In the
year twenty forty six, when Thomas is getting ready to
enter the workforce. Will Thomas need to know how to
use a pen and paper?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I got you. But here's the thing. I don't want
Bill Gates rewiring his brain because Bill Gates, for God's sake.
Do you want to talk about somebody you trust to
rewire brains? The last person I would trust is Bill Gates.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Well, pick your brain wire. Who's it going to be?
Steve Jobs? Who are we going with somebod Jobs?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
You're tired.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
He's permanently retired.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
But somebody's somebody's always working against them and they're rewiring
their brains.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Well, our brains were wired differently than our ancestors. We
had television they didn't, and their brains were wired different
because of the industrial revolutions. So every generation gets a
new wiring of their brains. In the future, I don't
imagine there's going to be much work for people who
are not really computer literate. They're gonna have to be
(11:36):
really good at computers.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Oh, I'm not saying we should hold back computers the
rest of his life. I just don't want him to
be influenced at such a young age.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Well, that's what I'm saying. These high school kids, they're
trying to limit them to like three hours of screen
time a day. Well good, I mean I think you're
putting them at a disadvantage.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I think that's probably true by high school time.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, so it'll be interesting to see how that plays out.
It's just bizarre that Los Angeles count of all plays
totally is the one that's saying we're concerned about kids'
mental health and whatnot, and screen time, screen time in itself,
watching television, watching movies, whatever, doesn't matter what you're watching
on About porn, that is such an inside joke that
(12:17):
nobody gets except me that that goes back to the
Blade Runner murder trial.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
It's porn, Dan, nobody wants to talk about it on television.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Well that's okay, Nancy. We just have to get to
the weather. Or was that guy's name Josh something on
ABC News? I think yes, Dan Dan was?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Uh? Was Dan?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
The guy Dan from a not TMZ, the guy who
hosts the show with Curtis Wilson.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
The guy I think it was because he's the legal
the legal expert who created that that entire genre of
reality television have to do with cops and crime scenes
and bad boys, bad boys. What you're gonna do well.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
And and he hosts that show with Curtis every week
up in New York and the Real TV or whatever
it's called. And Abel Dan Abrams d so Dan Abrams
was on the show with Nancy Grace and it was
hosted by Josh whatever his name was, on ABC's Good
Morning America. And and Dan was floating some sort of
(13:19):
theory about how this could have happened, and Nancy was
not having it. And she said that we know that
he was looking at porn on the tablet. We know
what was happening at five minutes before she was killed,
there was a fight. She caught him looking at porn.
It was porn, Dan, And and and the guy Josh
or whatever his name was, like, okay, well that's very.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Nobody wants to talk about it, do they, Dan. It
was porn, Dan.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
And Josh that's that's fine, Nancy. We just have to
go on with the weather. But thank you for your time.
Porn is porn.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Dan. She does not like to get cut off when
she's on a rant.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
She she was mid rant, she got cut off. Finally,
our problem of the day tomorrow, Jonathan, We've got let
me get to my thing here. Where's my scent items?
I sent out the email with that.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
By the way, we get Jason Aldean brand new music
to celebrate all day tomorrow, beginning at six in the morning. Actually,
the new album drops at midnight tonight. If you're a
Jason Aldean fan.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
We're not gonna have what's his name playing someone on
the overnight.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Maybe he will, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
He used to be the country singer now country DJ
speak friend.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
He's called a premiere talent.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
He is a premier talent? Is it a thing? I
don't even know that to see you and I are
kind of out of this age demo, so I wouldn't
know if this was a thing, but I could see
where it would be a thing. Where after you've dated
somebody for a long time, you're not living together. You're
not living in sin as our parents would have called it,
but you are in a long term relationship. You each
(14:52):
have your own place. Now for our Morning Russia regular,
she's apparently come upon well or maybe she just whatever,
don't I don't to speculate, but she still lives with
her parents. Although she's in her mid to late twenties,
she's still living with mom and dad. So she doesn't
have her own place. Her boyfriend does have his own place,
and she's been dating him about a year, and she's
(15:13):
wondering if it's a red flag that he has not
offered her a key to his place. So now when
he's saying, i'll meet you at the house, sometimes she
has to sit in the car and wait for ten
or fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
She doesn't have access.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
She Sometimes he'll say I need something and I got
to go home, and you know, she's like quietly indicating, off,
I had a key, I could pick it up for
you and bring it. And all her girlfriends apparently have
keys to their boyfriend's houses or apartments. Is that a
red flag to you that he hasn't offered it.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
They've been dating a long time, you.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Said, about a year. I can't see again. I can't
speak knowledgeably on this because I don't remember ever giving
anybody a key to my place.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Oh I do, and I live to regret it. You did?
Oh my god, Yes, what happened? Show surprised that I
somehow pick up some kind of sexually transmitted disease sleeping
in my own bed. What Yeah? After learning what happened
there during the day, is this.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
The Clemson football team story.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Shh, we're not going to give a year.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Catch that tiger? All right? So you did give your
key to a girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Oh yeah, that was a mistake, and.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
That was a huge mistake. So maybe this guy's been
burnt before. We don't know, But would you ask him
about it? We'll get the lady's opinions on them. Both
you and I are kind of not in the demo
on when we're not in the gender either.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
What's going on with your what's going on in your
house while you're not there? What's happening in your apartment?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Why you're used to come home and find that's great?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Oh and she really thought I was going to be upset.
I really wasn't committed to that relationship at all. Wasn't
upsetting me at all? Now the whole, the whole use
him my apartment?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Was that?
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Now that's a problem.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I mean, I shall be charging you all rant some.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Dudes getting like, you know, iced tea out of my refrigerator.
That's where I draw the line. Of course you're drinking
my iced tea.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
