Yesterday you were asking me about Darius rutcerd news and
we had none. Today we do.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Oh, the ambassador for our state of South Carolina. Yes,
that's the Poet Laureate, the Ambassador.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Although the Ambassador and the Poet Laureate are friends with
each other. That would be Patrick Davis and Darius Rutger.
Darius Rutger joined a very exclusive club yesterday as wagon
Wheel becomes the fifteenth country song in history to reach
a billion streams on Spotify.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Wow, and remind me again the history of him recording
the song wagon Wheel, because originally that was a song.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
By the lyrics were written by Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan,
the melody was written by I'm trying to remember the
name of the band, and they recorded it and it
didn't really do much. I mean it did something, it
like charted. But then Darius did it as a cover
song and everybody loved it.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
But he was at one of his kids.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
School something in Mount Pleasant.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Presents recitals, but a group of school kids sang that
song yeah, and he was like, I gotta do this song.
I believe that's how I gotta go back now and look,
am I making.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
All that up?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Did the kids sing about the toke or whatever?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Wasn't there, Like, I don't think the kids use that
as part of the school program.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Not good South Carolina kids. That's the New York City
kids would sing that.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Maybe that's what happens when you get to Johnson City
the kids start talking.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I don't know, could be Johnson City, Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Oh my gosh, you if you had if you lived
in Johnson City, Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
How cool that would be, wouldn't it? Though?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
You're just like, why does he ever sing about like irmo,
South cac or whatever? Give us a little shout out,
Darius uh number one most streamed song ever for country music.
I would have never guessed this. I don't even think
I know this. I don't even think I know this song.
You don't know the song. This is the most streamed
(04:50):
song ever. Yes, I don't think I know the song.
Maybe I do, but I just don't recognize the title
of it. Okay, Zach Bryan something in the Orange.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, you've heard this song very bizarre. That is good.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Let's go back to the token in Johnson City. You
do some token somewhere when you wrote that.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Song that is the most stream song in country music history.
Number two is Morgan Wallen's Last Night Tennessee Whiskey by
Chris Stapleton, Beautiful Crazy, Luke Combs When it Rains It
Pours Luke Comb's Zach Brian Casey Musgraves. I remember Airthing,
Taylor Swift's Love Story Post Malone with Morganwallan. I had
(05:31):
some help whiskey Glasses for Morganwallan, Shaboozi Barr song bb
rexa Florida, Georgia line, Meant to Be, Dan and Shay
with Justin Bieber, ten thousand Hours, Taylor Swift's You Belong
to Me, Sam Hunt's Body Like a back Road, and
now the fifteenth song that just squeaked into that billion
(05:53):
streams club is Darius Rutgers.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Wagon Wheel Wow. Good for him.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
So he's in a I mean when we talk about
the top fifteen is named fifteen artists because it's half
of them are damned Luke, Colmbs or Morgan Wallen. Yeah,
and Post Malone got two in there as well. So anyway,
congratulations Darius, and another reason you're our state ambassador. Now
sing a song about.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
This, please? Yeah, include us in a song.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
This guy, this guy's a dreamer. You may say he's
a dreamer. Hunter Peterson's his name. I don't do much
on TikTok, but he's got sure Peterson. Yes, Hunter Peterson's
a TikToker. Why do we know this name? If you
know him, I'd be amazed.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I'm confusing.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
But Hunter Peterson posted on his TikTok page the other
day that he would like to crowdfund the purchase of
Spirit Airlines.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
This is great, he.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Said, this is a genius idea. It would be owned
by the people. We're creating our own airline. He then
launched a website, Let's buy spiritair dot com. And this
allows you to pledge to buy a share in the
proposed ownership of the airline. One share is forty five
(07:15):
dollars the we, the people airline get how much money
he's raised since launching this on Sunday, forty five dollars
a share.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
It's gonna have to be a big number in order
for him to pop up on the radar of social
media on TikTok, because there's a lot of content there.
So I'm gonna make a wild damn guess of three
point seven million dollars.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
You missed it by a hundred and thirty million, one
hundred and thirty five point eight million dollars. Wow, so
far since Sunday. Wow, the people want it. The people.
The people are in Peterson says even he's shocked. It
actually started as a joke and it turned out to
(08:09):
be the people really want to buy this thing.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
So there is I just thought it one because yesterday
I was insulted again. I walked into a convenience store
and I'm standing there looking at the candy racket, all
the candy I can't buy, remembering the times when I
could pick up a butterfinger and butterfinger after screwing up
the original recipe with that damn European company has now
(08:35):
come out with a French toast flavor, and I'm like,
my god, have you screwed up the first You probably
screwed up the taste of French toast now that you
didn't try it.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
No, I would have, but Sally was with me.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Sally's in the picture.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
You got to.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Broom her for a little while.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
To start a crowdfund to bring back the original We're
gonna buy back butterfinger and bring back the original recipe.
I bet you I could raise ten million dollars. These
are things we can talk about. What should we crowd source?
What do we want to buy? Come on Morning, restregulars,
Let's buy something and we're gonna make money off of it.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
We'll get together and we'll start a crowdfund and we
will give ourselves the IPO crowdfund percentage.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
That's two points for everyone, So we.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Give ourselves the inside track on the IPO and, for
lack of a better term, on the original crowdfunding. I'm saying,
bring about the original recipe of butterfinger. What would you
think Americans would get behind and we can take back
over and bring it back to life.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Let's go, Morning Russia. Regulars also got the worst cities
in America in South Carolina for mosquitoes. Do you have
a guess as to what the worst city in America is?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah, I'm gonna say Buford.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
In America in South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
No, in America and South Carolina, Okay, I would I'm
shocked that the worst city in America for mosquitoes. I
thought this smog would have killed them. But it's Los Angeles,
That's what they say. This is again, this is the
what is a orcan pest control?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
They now?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I guess part of this is they rank them off
of how many mosquito treatments they do that year. Yea,
so it's tougher. I don't know that this is like
how accurate this is? Meaning if you're in a bigger
city like Chicago gets a lot, New York gets a lot,
Detroit gets a lot, Atlanta gets a lot. I imagine
(10:50):
Atlanta got a lot of Skeeters. I would think it
would be more southern, like I would think that New
Orleans would be a beast.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
New Orleans and Houston, Houston's number seven.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
We are close to where there is going to be
a lot of water constantly, so you're never going to
get away from the mosquito eggs.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
But you also are going to get cold enough to
kill them off.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
You also have to have money. There has to be money,
because people don't call for pest control if they're poor. No,
so they're not calling to have the mosquito sprayed. At
whatever it is, fifty sixty dollars a month or whatever it.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Is, don'tfor it's the most per income, per household, per income,
the hottest zip code in South Carolina.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Well, I was shocked on again shocked. Yeah, I guess
I was only two cities in South Carolina. The highest
ranking was Greenville at number twenty one, and then Columbia
comes in at number forty six.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Okay, I miss my guest totally on that. But I
did see a funny video, not video, I've forgot what.
I saw it on somebody else's phone. It was Sally
because she was laughing about it.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
But the mosquito foggers that went through your neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
When you were a kid, Yeah, did you ever get
in your car and chase behind that? I wasn't old
enough to do that, but so I was only in
the car a couple of times. It scared the hell
out of me because you can't see.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
But I didn't know if I did know.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
A guy that we were ended the truck because he
ran up too close to it.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
And why was he tailing it just to see what
it was like?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yeah, just to be able to drive in a cloud.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Now you know that's poison, right that we're that's coming
to were conditioning.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
And all down the windows this poison.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
As we followed the mosquito truck around good times.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
And I don't think I've ever admitted this before because
this is quite frankly one of this is when the
Holy Spirit stepped in and blocked me from doing what
I was thinking about doing. Because the guy in Saluta
who was driving the mosquito fogger truck. Yeah, it was
just a regular pickup truck with that blower in the back.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Well, I'm what maybe twelve at this time, twelve thirteen,
and he's parked at the convenience store. I'm sure of
getting another six pack because he's driving around town drunk.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Now you gotta be spraying for mosquitoes.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
And that big blower is on the back of that truck,
and I thought, how, I wonder what that all that
wind because you hear it, you know that the truck's
vibrating of wind blowing out, and I'm like, I wonder
if I could like jump up against it. So before
I jumped up against the wind stream coming out of
the back of that thing, I just waved my hand
(13:36):
in front of it.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I would I don't know. At twelve do you.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Know what type of propulsion that is that blows out
that fog jet?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Heat, It's got to go pretty far as hell.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I mean like nearly brought up like a second degree,
burned all the way across my hand, and I almost
jumped up in front of the thing with my face.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
That would have been the end of the modeling career.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
That would have been right there. Woo. That would that
would have singed every hair on your body. And I'm like, why.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Does this drunk leave the thing sitting in the parking
lot unattended.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Because the saluta for twelve year old is to walk
by it's on the twelve year old.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Wooh. I would have burned my eyes out.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
And yeah, what do you bring a lawsuit against the guy?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I gotta tell you, I think that's the first time
ever I've admitted how stupid that would have been for.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Me to do.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
That's a typical twelve year old. I don't think that's stupid.
I think that you know, if you said it twenty eight, yeah,
that's okay, twenty like brink it blowed torch. I mean
I could see a drunk twenty year old, not a
sober twenty year old. I could see a totally sober
twelve year old thinking this is a good idea.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah thing, just sitting there, unattended in the parking lot,
not blowing fog, just blowing.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Kind of like the seven year old who talked to
yesterday figured out a way to climb on top of
a church roof so she could touch the steeple. Hello,
oh yeah, perfect for.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Her mosquito fogger days.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
But that was funny on the meme of the video
or whatever it was that Sally was showing me, because
she said that would have been my mama right there,
because the woman is saying back in the day, we
love watching the kids chase the mosquito foger, and she's
sitting on the front porch smoking like a cool one hundred.
We didn't have seatbelts, we didn't have bike helmets we
(15:24):
had were riding around chasing the mosquito truck and we
survived all that.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
You know, we always say that, I wonder how many
kids didn't survive. Did we lose kids? I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I don't think no, we did ever lose kids until
we got in high school.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
That's when I get friends, got all drunk and crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I do remember losing a couple of kids in high school.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yeah, it was sad we had to well, I won't
go on. No, I miss you to this day, Dennis.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Let's see question of the day. Tomorrow's Thursday, so we're
almost to Mother's Day. It's kind of been a Mother's
Day theme.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Then this week.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
On Mother's Day? Who is the priority? Husbands? Is it
your own mother or is it your wife? Who is
the mother to your children? Who is the priority? Do
you if you have to travel, do you travel back
to see your mom? You know, an hour hour and
a half away? Try to drag your wife and kids
(16:22):
with you? What if she's got a mother, is she
supposed to go see her mother on that day? How
do we handle this? Who is the priority?
Speaker 2 (16:31):
It has always been a very delicate situation.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
It's like for politicians. They'll they'll say that's my number
one priority, but you'll hear like ten different things that's
my number one priority. I'm sure people are going to
come and say, well, they're both the priority. That's not
the question. That's not an answer.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Who is the priority defies the description of the word.
The definition of the word is defied by your own words.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
It's like when people say that's one one of my
best friend. You can't be one of my best friends.
You're either my best friend or you're one of my
good friends. But there's only one best that's the gold
medal winner. We're all gold medal winners. No, we're not.
One person got the gold, the others didn't.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
This is going to be painfully traditionally Southern. But you
know one thing I mess about Mother's Day now is
when we used to wear the were they carnations?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Because you have a redwin or a white one and
you wore it on your lapale.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
I know nothing of this, huh, I know nothing of this.
You're you're breaking news to me right now. This was
a Southern thing you were amore, but you would wear
this flower on your lapale.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I wish I could remember what kind of flower it was.
I know they were red and white. Anyway, if your
mother was alive, you wore a red one, and if
she was passed on, you wore a white one.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Every guy was doing that in this every guy, every guy,
and my mom would and girls wore them too, So
every day my mom would have a white one, my
grandmother had a my mom had a red one, my
grandmother had.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
A white one, and then all three of us boys
had red ones. My dad had a red one at
the time. But you could, you know, you go back
and look at the pictures and you see us wearing
those flowers.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Like what is that? I had to be Mother's Day,
a outside of a outside of a wedding. So the
time a guy ever wears a flower in.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
A veil, I wonder how that started and then why
it ended.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I don't know why it ended.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
I've never heard of that. That's a that's a I
wonder if that was like the whole South or was
it just like a South Carolina thing, or.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Maybe it was a saluted thing. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
That's a that's an interesting angle. And uh, then like
what about like so does the mom in that scenario,
like your mom she had a mom who was alive.
That was your grandmother, but she also had kids. And
then your dad had his mom who was alive at
the time. So did would it be his priority to
(18:59):
look out for his wife's Mother's Day? Or would it
be to look out for his mother's Mother's Day?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
No, my dad, I know the answer to that, but
I'm not going to not going to divulge that. Oh really, yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Wow, we have secrets. On the morning rush, I thought
we were in the truth tree.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
We're all my dad? Would hear? He might tell you
who do you respect more? Dad?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Your wife or your mother? All right, Wow, I can't
believe I said that out loud. Just even the reference.
There could be a riff. I'm having a flashback.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I can see it.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
He was right, you're having it right now.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Watch your heads get oh by, Okay, that's enough of
all that. Hey, what are you thinking about? What's going
on here? Maybe there is a traditional steal lives on?
Does it live on?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Do you wear the little I wish I need? It's
not a booten eer or I don't know what you'd
call I guess it is a booten eer?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Is that still going at your church? It was always
a big day at church on Mother's Day. First you
went to church.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Period, that's right out the gate a little different.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
You know, that was a big day for church goores.
It was always a church full on Mother's Day. The
message was.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Always about Mom. Everything was focused on Mom.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Well, I know Mother's Day. I've noticed that as the greeterer,
we do get a lot of people who are first
time visitors. Specifically, this is their Mother's Day gift. I
didn't buy her anything. I drove, you know, eighty miles
to join my mother at church. This is all she wanted.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Now, that would have been a guy who would be
wearing a red flower?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Owned is a pill?
Speaker 1 (20:44):
If we in fact still use that tradition, How did
the flower? How did the flower shops.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Let this tradition die?
Speaker 3 (20:51):
They need some more angles and that would be a
good one to bring them back.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
You reach out to us on social media.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
You can also email us I Rush at ninety seventy
five to would us dot com.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
All right, Nash at ninety seven five w sos dot com.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
And tomorrow morning is six thirty give you a chance
to win red Clay streat tickets.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
I just like, I just looked it up The practice
began in the twentieth century with Anna Jarvis, the founder.
The founder of Mother's Day, Anna Jarvis wanted to make
sure she got her due. The first official observance of
Mother's Day was in nineteen o eight, and she distributed
five hundred white carnations, which which was her mother's favorite flower,
(21:30):
to symbolize the purity of a mother's love. As the
holiday spread, the tradition evolved to include red and pink
to distinguish those who were living and dead. So the
red or pink was worn for those who were still alive.
The red would signify a beating heart. White was the
(21:53):
remembrance of those who had passed away and also represented
in her mind, heavenly tranquility. Yellow was worn for someone
whose mother was ill.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I did not know about the yellow.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
So if your mom's in the convalescent home or something.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
You would wear the yellow. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Interesting if they were carnations carnations and then yeah, And
here's a Facebook post four years ago from the Atlanta
History files who remembers when we used to wear red roses.
He wore red roses on Mother's Day and this guy
said for every day, every Mother's Day, for fifty two
years I did it, and then I didn't. I don't
(22:33):
know why we stopped, so nobody put out a memo
on it. I guess a bunch of people forgot to
do it, and then the next year everybody's forgot the.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
You know, I think I'm gonna I'm gonna find out.
Can I get a white and it has to be
made special. It can't just be you broke a white
rose off of a display somewhere.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
It had the little baby's breath behind it.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Okay, it wasn't big, but it had just a little touch,
and he had a special pin.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
You put youth that big ass pen they used to
