And I'm sure Lee will have atea time, so he won't be
a to come by until later inthe day. Oh. He doesn't get
(01:07):
like a late tea time, andthen said, no, I got a
roll. He says, let mejust show up late. That's it.
He'll be there about the time thegrill fires up. Oh, he tell

I gotta go. Oh, wecan't do burgers Tomorrow's I mean for
(01:29):
Sunday. It's Mother's Day. Wedo some pork things. Sally's gonna know.
Sally's gonna wall Probably that chicken.She's tied up on this rufous Tigue's
chicken. Rub I don't know ifyou've ever tried that one heard of it.
She refuses to have anything else onher grilled chicken. She loves that.
Where do you buy it at?You can get it at fresh market,
and you can get it at wholefood, wherever you buy better groceries.
(01:51):
Exactly. They used to have itin public, say quit carrying it.
Rufus probably upset about that rufus Tigue'schicken. It makes like ten different
seasonings, but the chicken is andthat she loves the most. Well we've
got a morning rush, a regularWe're gonna be talking about it after the
fact. But apparently her husband wehad a very similar conversation on Monday.
(02:15):
I think of this week, butreading I guess I could say her name
Wendy Wendy's email. My husband doesa lot for Mother's Day. Unfortunately,
very little of it has to dowith me, the mother of his children.
It's all centered around his mother.He plans the day about going out
(02:36):
to her house. He brings herfood, he brings her flowers, he
brings her a gift. I getflowers, and then told he has to
go to his mother's house and thenstay at home with the children. All
Oh, I'm thinking about confronting him. Should she let him know how much
this bothers her? Or should shejust say, look, the mother's not
(03:00):
going to be here much longer.Let him spend the last few years with
his mom. I am more ofsomeone who believes in honesty is the best
policy, even if it's awkward,and you're somebody who appreciates awkwardness. So
I think we're both going to gowith you got to let them know this
is bothering me. But perhaps there'speople out there who say no, no,
(03:23):
no, just let him, youknow, maybe mention that I'd like
a little more attention on Mother's Day, but still let him go. Let
him go go with it. Now, I know you got a mother of
your own that you're supposed to govisit as well. Yes, she's got
to spend time with her mother.So the family separated on Mother's Day and
she doesn't like it. But I'magain, I'm also a fan of once
(03:47):
you're an adult and have children ofyour own, the Mother's Day is about
that mother, not the mother who'salready raised you. It's the mother who's
in the fight right now, gotcha, The mother who's living in, the
mother who needs some relief. Yeah, the mother who's actually working, the
other mom who's got the other mom. Now where you're in, Uh,
what the the what do they callit? Like when you're a professor rodis
(04:11):
or Yeah? You you you justcome in and give speeches every now and
again. You don't have to gradmother emeritis. Yeah that's what you are.
You're the mother emeritus. We havea new most stolen vehicles list.
Oh wow, let me guess Kia, no Hyundai? Well, okay,
(04:33):
now which one? Because it's it'sa lot. Oh, the Hyundai Alantra.
Okay, forty eight thousand, fourhundred and fifty we're stolen this year.
You know. One of the reasonswhy, I'm sure that's the most
stolen vehicles because that's one of themost sold vehicles, and because it's one
(04:55):
of the most purchase vehicles, it'sbecome it becomes the hottest vehicle for after
mar parts. You don't think it'sbecause they're easy to steal. Well,
that was going to say, usuallybecause it's Hondai Elantra with forty eight thousand,
the Hyundai Sonata with forty two thousand, the Honda Accord always one of
(05:15):
the best sellers, the Chevy Silverado, Yes, the Kia Optima, Kia
Soul, the Kia Forte, theF one fifty Yes, and the Honda
Civic. Now, I don't reallyknow because I don't break into cars,
but I understand that the Hondai problemis it's real easy to open. To
(05:36):
steal the car, you just pullthe handle in it opens. I mean
what it's some kind of thing wherethey, like in the state of New
York, they're suing the car companiesbecause they say the car is too easy
to break into with the criminals thenare like entrapped. It's an entrapment thing.
So the criminals are suing Hyundai formaking their cars so easy to discuss.
No, not the criminals, thestate of New York. They're suing
(06:00):
because their car is soo easy tobreak into. This is why we have
so many car thefts that our policehave to spend time investigating because you make
a car too easy to break into. Richmond Kuind of Sheriff's Department actually gives
away some of the clubs, theclub things. If you own one of
those cars, it's easy to breakinto. Well, I when I'm reading
this thing, there was a TikToktrend called the Hyndi Kiya Challenge, and
(06:25):
thieves made TikTok videos explaining the designflaws, namely the lack of an engine
a mobilizer which I don't know whatthat is, but an engine a mobilizer
would prevent engines from starting without akey. But they don't have them.
So it's not that they're easy tobreak into. It's easy to hotwise,
(06:46):
yeah, because once you get init, apparently you don't have to have
the fob inside the car. Forwhere to start. Got it? So
that's I know, that's a bigdispute going on in the area is where
we have high crime rate, includingcarjackings, and we asked the sheriff lately,
we don't have a whole lot ofcard jackeings going on in the Midlands,
thank goodness. So hooray. Now, apparently Hyundai and Kia together were
(07:12):
sued and they settled. So theypaid one hundred and forty five million dollars
to settle that class action lawsuit.I don't know who they were paying.
Is it the police departments? Iget the states were suing them, so
maybe we should have sued them.Anyway, I'm guessing that the new vehicles
must have that stuff on there.It's no longer a failing common to that
(07:34):
model. Wow, that's crazy,though. What else have we got going
on here, Jonathan? Let's seewe're talking about the dream homes. You
know, it is interesting. Ifound you can read this on the Morning
Rust blog at ninety seven five WCSdot com. I think it was Zillo
did a survey on adult Americans aboutwhat their dream homes were like in their
(08:01):
minds as a kid, what theywould be like today. How do they
still line up. Also, theidea that for people born in the nineteen
eighties, that was not me,that was not you. But sixty two
percent of the kids born in thenineteen eighties, which are not what they're
in their forties, right, isthat right? Forties? I guess sixty
(08:24):
two percent of them said their dreamhome was the home they grew up in.
That's by false interesting the most fiftypercent of kids born in the nineties,
and it's like well below thirty percentfor the rest of us. Most
of us did not love our childhoodhome, but the kids of the eighties
(08:45):
loved it. Now is far aswhat people wanted when they were young.
The dream home would have a movietheater. The dream home would have a
swimming pool. Amazingly, and thisis something I forgot that I would have
dreamt of. Eighty nine percent ofAmericans said that their dream home would include
(09:13):
air conditioning. And I'd forgotten thatwe didn't have air conditioning when I was
a kid, and that nobody Iknew in New England had air conditioning,
and we all sweltered through the summer, and we'd see television where there'd be
a show based in like like arichie part like wherever in New York or
in California, and they had abutton on a wall and they could push
(09:35):
the button and it controlled the temperaturein the house. And I just remember
being a kid, like, canyou imagine being that rich that you have
some You have the ability to controlthe heat and air conditioning from the button
and it doesn't involve burning wood exactly, or you have to get oil delivered
to the house. One of myuncles when I was a kid, and
(09:56):
I'm going to guess I was likeseven eight nine, it's like three years
of my life. He started actuallyas a part time job installing HVAC systems
in residences for homes that didn't haveit, like you say so, And
my job was to insulate the ductwork. Because you were small, you could
crawl all over the house. Whatthe cross space was like, you could
(10:18):
go under there. Now that wasa pain in the rear job. A
lot of fiberglass involved. In thesummertime, you get that fiberglass in your
skin, it would hitch you.You got to go home and take a
hot bath open to the doors toget the fiberglass out of me. Anyway,
so we actually as a child Iguess I was maybe eight or nine.
We installed the HVAC system in myhouse, got a dream home.
(10:41):
Yeah, so we had the dreamhome after that. It was really cool
too, because you're right, butI missed the days of having the windows
open with the attic fan and thespring and the summer, and now you
get the full heating and air conditioningsystem. This is when America started closing
the windows and it never opened upagain. I don't even know why we
make windows that open and close.Nobody ever opens a window. I remember
(11:01):
in the summertime, it would beso hot in my bedroom and the only
thing I had to cool off wasthis like it was a metal rotating fan
that my oscillating my father had gottenit serving in the Korean War. It
was you know, it was thatlike it was like that olive green that
military issued stuff had, and itwas and it had like a one of
(11:24):
the blades was kind of bent,so it made that noise like because it's
hitting against something the whole time.Yeah, yeah, that's great, And
I was like, this is theonly thing I got, and I'm miserable.
But the number two item on thedream Homes. Think about how lucky
(11:45):
most of us are in South Carolina. Number one is to have air conditioning.
Pretty much everybody got that right.Number two a walk in closet.
If you've had a home built inthe last what thirty years in the South,
you got a walk in closets consideredthe number two most desired dream home,
and number three is a laundry room. Those are the top three items
(12:07):
on dream homes and we got Iremember telling my friends in New York when
I moved to Lake Carolina, Iwas like, I think I paid one
hundred and forty thousand dollars for theHouse of Carolina and five and I said,
they're basically giving away houses in SouthCarolina. My mortgage payment is like
(12:28):
something like eight hundred dollars a month. My rent, well, my friend's
rent in you know, out somewherein the crappy sides of the Bronx,
was like twelve hundred a month.He was getting I think seven hundred square
feet for twelve hundred a month.I'm getting three thousand square feet or something
(12:52):
for eight hundred a month. AndI said, dude, it's like a
dream. I have garden tubs,walk in closets, central air room.
I've got I didn't mention the laundyroom because I didn't really care that much
about it. But I mean Iin retrospect, I really did appreciate having
one. But the whole, thewhole idea, it's like, it's like
shangri la for eight hundred dollars amonth. Uh huh. Now you can't
(13:13):
get it for eight hundred a monththese days, but it's still comparatively inexpensive
if you're comparing Ohio and New Jerseyand these places. To hear, but
that now some of the sillier thingsthat people want. Forty three percent of
Americas say they want a bowling alleyin their house. I'm a word why
(13:33):
you don't go bowling? And it'sthe damn loud nobody goes bowling. The
bowling alley revolution of the what sixtiesand seventies and eighties that is long since
died. There's exactly how many deadbowling alleys do we have now? The
bowling alley people are like, youwant want bowling alleys seriously, and nobody
(13:54):
ever uses it. It's like theping pong table that folded up in the
corner of my carboard. Number two. Dream thing would be a frozen yogurt
or soft serve machine. Come on, I beat out the carger. Waiter.
Number three is a soda vending machinefor free. Okay, So I
guess you just go over there andpushed the bar. Would I wonder when
(14:16):
they vending machine, do they meanthe kind that you get at like the
restaurants where you can mix and matchall your soda or do they mean where
I just push a button and acan. Would have to be the one
where you can mix and match.Would you want out of all these things?
I mean, you have all thestuff that we've already talked about.
But would you don't have a pool? Right? Would you? Would you
(14:37):
want a pool? No, Iwouldn't want to party there. Would you
want a home theater? Uh?Yeah you would? Yeah? Yeah?
Okay? Would you want a bowlingalley? Are there any sports things you
would like in your house? Likewhen I was a kid, my friend
Billy Grant had a batting cage withthe jugs machine sure, and I thought
(14:58):
that was That's the coolest thing ever. We had a batting cage in the
backyard. My kids loved that.You did with the drug machine, we
did not have the machine because theyhad a pitcher and a catcher, so
David looked liked to pitch in it. It was a sixty seventy foot batting
cage and it had a little bitof a slope in the backyard so it
didn't have to Yeah, they hadspoiled. Yeah, they had that.
(15:20):
My kids had it easy. God. I was looking around the house the
other day when David was shopping aroundand I found the house that had and
what in the It was like aworkshop area off the car poard and there
was something on the wall there.My wife is like, what is that?
And I'm like, oh, Ithink I know what that is.
And I went over to it,and sure enough, I was right.
(15:41):
It was the whole house vacuum system. Oh I remember those. Yeah,
they're like popular in the seventies.Yeah, And that thing would have a
it'd have a receiver in every roomand you would walk in with your vacuum,
you know, the broom type thing, and you'd plug the hose into
the baseboard right there where it plugsin, and it would kick in,
the vacuum of the section would startand you vacuum that room and you're don't
(16:03):
have to drag the vacuum cleaner tothe next room. You just disconnect and
go to the next room and awhole house vacuum. I'm like, well,
I wonder why those fell out ofpopularity. That was a cool idea.
I remember going to my friend TimBister's house and that was the first
house I'd been in that had theintercom. Oh yeah, that was cool,
and why did those fall out?True? He would generally make whole
(16:23):
house sound systems, but you don'thave the availability of punch of the button
and telling the kids, Okay,dinner's ready. Yeah, come downstairs now.
I guess now you use your mobilephone. You just call up on
their mobile phone tell them dinner's readyto come on down. Yeah. I
saw the future, the Home ofthe Future, like the nineteen fifties I
think it was, and they weretalking about how plastic was going to change
(16:45):
everything sure, and they were thebride of the future will not be bogged
down with the chores of today's housewives. Simply a hose will do as everything
will be made of plastic. Andthey showed her just walking into the living
room and just hosing it down andthen it was all angled so the water
(17:06):
would go down the drain all thedust is gone. There will be no
more dust. Oh that's great.What would you like to have in your
dream home? That's good. Ilike it and the taste of it to
day. The dream home items todaythat weren't available back then, or maybe
things that back then, like thewhole house vacuum system. You want to
bring that back. I like that. It's a pretty cool idea my dream
(17:26):
home would have had. It's amazingthat I thought of this, I think,
and I don't know anybody who's reallydone it. It would be a
swimming pool that replaced, not completelyreplaced, the walking areas of the home,
so like on the hallway, partof it would be on the right
(17:48):
hand side, say you could.It would be wide enough where people could
walk if they chose to, butotherwise I could wake up in the morning,
jump off my bed into a poolin the middle of my bedroom.
That is a bizarre and then swimto the bathroom, pop up, take
a shower, I guess, Idon't know, jump back into the pool,
swim down the hall for breakfast.Okay, that is bizarre. I
(18:10):
just thought that would be the coolestthing, like a lazy river, although
it doesn't really move Okay, lovethat idea. I'm still kind of fascinated
by it. Okay. I thinkas a kid, my dream home would
have astro turf, so I wouldn'thave to cut the damn grass. Oh.
I did tell my mother, andI meant it that my home will
have will be I will make thewhole on concrete and I will paint it
(18:33):
green, but then I will useit. The whole thing is like a
basketball court slash skateboarding. Good idea. Okay, it didn't never worked out
that way. Hey, what's goingon in your dream home? Or what
would you want to have in it? Or your neighborhood? Or how did
your mothers they go? And whodid you worship? More? You gotta
worship. You got to choose whoyou're serving here, and you got to
worship at their altar. All right. You can reach out to us on

my job was to insulate the ductwork. Because you were small, you could
crawl all over the house. Whatthe cross space was like, you could
(10:18):
go under there. Now that wasa pain in the rear job. A
lot of fiberglass involved. In thesummertime, you get that fiberglass in your
skin, it would hitch you.You got to go home and take a
hot bath open to the doors toget the fiberglass out of me. Anyway,
so we actually as a child Iguess I was maybe eight or nine.
We installed the HVAC system in myhouse, got a dream home.
(10:41):
Yeah, so we had the dreamhome after that. It was really cool
too, because you're right, butI missed the days of having the windows
open with the attic fan and thespring and the summer, and now you
get the full heating and air conditioningsystem. This is when America started closing
the windows and it never opened upagain. I don't even know why we
make windows that open and close.Nobody ever opens a window. I remember
(11:01):
in the summertime, it would beso hot in my bedroom and the only
thing I had to cool off wasthis like it was a metal rotating fan
that my oscillating my father had gottenit serving in the Korean War. It
was you know, it was thatlike it was like that olive green that
military issued stuff had, and itwas and it had like a one of
(11:24):
the blades was kind of bent,so it made that noise like because it's
hitting against something the whole time.Yeah, yeah, that's great, And
I was like, this is theonly thing I got, and I'm miserable.
But the number two item on thedream Homes. Think about how lucky
(11:45):
most of us are in South Carolina. Number one is to have air conditioning.
Pretty much everybody got that right.Number two a walk in closet.
If you've had a home built inthe last what thirty years in the South,
you got a walk in closets consideredthe number two most desired dream home,
and number three is a laundry room. Those are the top three items
(12:07):
on dream homes and we got Iremember telling my friends in New York when
I moved to Lake Carolina, Iwas like, I think I paid one
hundred and forty thousand dollars for theHouse of Carolina and five and I said,
they're basically giving away houses in SouthCarolina. My mortgage payment is like
(12:28):
something like eight hundred dollars a month. My rent, well, my friend's
rent in you know, out somewherein the crappy sides of the Bronx,
was like twelve hundred a month.He was getting I think seven hundred square
feet for twelve hundred a month.I'm getting three thousand square feet or something
(12:52):
for eight hundred a month. AndI said, dude, it's like a
dream. I have garden tubs,walk in closets, central air room.
I've got I didn't mention the laundyroom because I didn't really care that much
about it. But I mean Iin retrospect, I really did appreciate having
one. But the whole, thewhole idea, it's like, it's like
shangri la for eight hundred dollars amonth. Uh huh. Now you can't
(13:13):
get it for eight hundred a monththese days, but it's still comparatively inexpensive
if you're comparing Ohio and New Jerseyand these places. To hear, but
that now some of the sillier thingsthat people want. Forty three percent of
Americas say they want a bowling alleyin their house. I'm a word why
(13:33):
you don't go bowling? And it'sthe damn loud nobody goes bowling. The
bowling alley revolution of the what sixtiesand seventies and eighties that is long since
died. There's exactly how many deadbowling alleys do we have now? The
bowling alley people are like, youwant want bowling alleys seriously, and nobody
(13:54):
ever uses it. It's like theping pong table that folded up in the
corner of my carboard. Number two. Dream thing would be a frozen yogurt
or soft serve machine. Come on, I beat out the carger. Waiter.
Number three is a soda vending machinefor free. Okay, So I
guess you just go over there andpushed the bar. Would I wonder when
(14:16):
they vending machine, do they meanthe kind that you get at like the
restaurants where you can mix and matchall your soda or do they mean where
I just push a button and acan. Would have to be the one
where you can mix and match.Would you want out of all these things?
I mean, you have all thestuff that we've already talked about.
But would you don't have a pool? Right? Would you? Would you
(14:37):
want a pool? No, Iwouldn't want to party there. Would you
want a home theater? Uh?Yeah you would? Yeah? Yeah?
Okay? Would you want a bowlingalley? Are there any sports things you
would like in your house? Likewhen I was a kid, my friend
Billy Grant had a batting cage withthe jugs machine sure, and I thought
(14:58):
that was That's the coolest thing ever. We had a batting cage in the
backyard. My kids loved that.You did with the drug machine, we
did not have the machine because theyhad a pitcher and a catcher, so
David looked liked to pitch in it. It was a sixty seventy foot batting
cage and it had a little bitof a slope in the backyard so it
didn't have to Yeah, they hadspoiled. Yeah, they had that.
(15:20):
My kids had it easy. God. I was looking around the house the
other day when David was shopping aroundand I found the house that had and
what in the It was like aworkshop area off the car poard and there
was something on the wall there.My wife is like, what is that?
And I'm like, oh, Ithink I know what that is.
And I went over to it,and sure enough, I was right.
(15:41):
It was the whole house vacuum system. Oh I remember those. Yeah,
they're like popular in the seventies.Yeah, And that thing would have a
it'd have a receiver in every roomand you would walk in with your vacuum,
you know, the broom type thing, and you'd plug the hose into
the baseboard right there where it plugsin, and it would kick in,
the vacuum of the section would startand you vacuum that room and you're don't
(16:03):
have to drag the vacuum cleaner tothe next room. You just disconnect and
go to the next room and awhole house vacuum. I'm like, well,
I wonder why those fell out ofpopularity. That was a cool idea.
I remember going to my friend TimBister's house and that was the first
house I'd been in that had theintercom. Oh yeah, that was cool,
and why did those fall out?True? He would generally make whole
(16:23):
house sound systems, but you don'thave the availability of punch of the button
and telling the kids, Okay,dinner's ready. Yeah, come downstairs now.
I guess now you use your mobilephone. You just call up on
their mobile phone tell them dinner's readyto come on down. Yeah. I
saw the future, the Home ofthe Future, like the nineteen fifties I
think it was, and they weretalking about how plastic was going to change
(16:45):
everything sure, and they were thebride of the future will not be bogged
down with the chores of today's housewives. Simply a hose will do as everything
will be made of plastic. Andthey showed her just walking into the living
room and just hosing it down andthen it was all angled so the water
(17:06):
would go down the drain all thedust is gone. There will be no
more dust. Oh that's great.What would you like to have in your
dream home? That's good. Ilike it and the taste of it to
day. The dream home items todaythat weren't available back then, or maybe
things that back then, like thewhole house vacuum system. You want to
bring that back. I like that. It's a pretty cool idea my dream
(17:26):
home would have had. It's amazingthat I thought of this, I think,
and I don't know anybody who's reallydone it. It would be a
swimming pool that replaced, not completelyreplaced, the walking areas of the home,
so like on the hallway, partof it would be on the right
(17:48):
hand side, say you could.It would be wide enough where people could
walk if they chose to, butotherwise I could wake up in the morning,
jump off my bed into a poolin the middle of my bedroom.
That is a bizarre and then swimto the bathroom, pop up, take
a shower, I guess, Idon't know, jump back into the pool,
swim down the hall for breakfast.Okay, that is bizarre. I
(18:10):
just thought that would be the coolestthing, like a lazy river, although
it doesn't really move Okay, lovethat idea. I'm still kind of fascinated
by it. Okay. I thinkas a kid, my dream home would
have astro turf, so I wouldn'thave to cut the damn grass. Oh.
I did tell my mother, andI meant it that my home will
have will be I will make thewhole on concrete and I will paint it
(18:33):
green, but then I will useit. The whole thing is like a
basketball court slash skateboarding. Good idea. Okay, it didn't never worked out
that way. Hey, what's goingon in your dream home? Or what
would you want to have in it? Or your neighborhood? Or how did
your mothers they go? And whodid you worship? More? You gotta
worship. You got to choose whoyou're serving here, and you got to
worship at their altar. All right. You can reach out to us on
