Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Kelly Nash. Hey, Tomorrow will be Friday. It will
also be Payday. It's going to be the fifteenth of May.
Oh nice. Now, the eagle flies, as they say in
the military, is that what they say? I don't know.
I was told that by a Morning West regular name
don Every day on Payday in the military, they say
the eagle flies today. I don't know. I don't know
that to be true. But certainly, if you're heading into
(00:21):
the weekend, you need some beer money kept more, and
you'll also get a chance to win even more money
kept more tomorrow morning, beginning again at nine o'clock with
the nine ka day payday.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
That's true. And speaking of winning, we've been talking about
post malone all week long. Well have another. This will
be our final shot, I think to give away tickets
for the Big Ass Stadium Tour Part two at Charlotte's
Bank of America Stadium. That's happening Tuesday, June ninth. You
can buy tickets through our website or you can just
win them tomorrow morning. The word of the day plangent.
(00:54):
Plangent is what we're playing for. The tickets the answer
on what you're talking about, and take a guess.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
What it plangent much like planting. Plangent is it's an
operation or it's a methodology that can be easily implemented
in any situation where the end result would need to
be the same as the first.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Again, another brilliant answer. Not correct, but a brilliant answer.
It does sound correct, though, yes it does. Plangent means
a sound that is loud, resonant, and often mournful or melancholy.
They use a plangent as a way of describing bells, often.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Oh for whom the bells told? Don the plangent echoes, Yes,
rolled across the hills. Yes, as two cadillacs, Oh, black
catallacts slowly, yeah, slowly made their way down the mountain road.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
You were talking about the cash that people could win
and what are they going to spend it on. We're
getting some surveys back now and what Americans are spending
their tax refunds on. The average tax refund this year
is twenty eight and twenty five dollars.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Is it GOP one medications?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Well, first off, ninety eight percent of the people who
have received the money have already.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Spent the money.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Okay, wow, let's see forty nine percent said they spent
it all on necessities, including paying off their monthly bills,
buying groceries, paying down credit card debt. Eighteen percent said
straight up luxuries like cool new clothes, entertainment, fine dining.
(02:41):
Sixty three percent say that they were surprised at how
much money they got back this year, and that that
that the twenty three percent report they got a smaller
refund than last year. Really yeah, but that's mostly because
they were missing some hours.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Oh gotcha. Yeah, So I was pleasantly surprised that my
penalty wasn't more. How about you?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
My penalty was substantial this year because Angela had a
good year. So we're we're now working on making that
a quarterly investment.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
At some point you start having those banner years on
a ten ninety nine, you got to start paying every
three months because the federal government ain't gonna wait till
the once a year payment.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Well, they got their five figures from us this year.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
You got that.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
That was I was like, huh, that's more than my
first car. What I just still to check for Let's see, now,
the fourteen percent of the people who got less money,
it's because they got bumped up to a higher tax
bracket this year, and thirteen percent said it was because
their dependence aged out of the eligibility.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, so that that's a big kick in the butt. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
So what are you spending your tax refund on? Maybe
you have some cool answers if you're saying the mortgage
that's boring.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, Mine immediately went to the down payment for the
beach frontel. Okay, yeah, well that's cool.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
That's fun.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Not quite fun enough, as you noticed, I said, down payment.
Oh yeah, I still got to come out of pocket
yet that's still to come. Yes, well damn it. But
at least they took care of the first half. Thank you,
Uncle Sam finally for sitting on my money all year.
You always try to make it so I get nothing back.
(04:25):
Don't want to give Uncle Sam your money to sit
on all year just so you can get a big paycheck.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
But you got a little back this year.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I did. That's nice, all right.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
The State of Rhode Island spent seventy thousand dollars on
a rug. And this ru rug it's a special rug,
very special. It's gonna it sits. I guess when you
walk into the Rhode Island State House and it reads, well,
first off, they've got the actual Seal of Rhode Island
(04:56):
custom made into the middle of this big rug. And
then it says the Seal of Rhode Island and Providence.
Now that was inspected by no less than fourteen different
officials before it was laid out.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Uh uh.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
That happened in February.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Uh. Oh.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
It was one of the tourists who pointed out the typo.
Why is it called the Seal of Rhode Island and Providence.
Wouldn't it just be the Seal of Rhode Island? You
are correct, youngster.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
And so now they say that the repairs will be
made at no cost to the taxpayers. I guess they're
gonna that's what they said. They're going to get the
people who made the rug. I don't know why they
added and Providence.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I wonder if our new governor, when they move into
the Governor's mansion, is going to bring back a rug
that I don't believe has been displayed at the entrance
of our governor's mansion since Carol Campbell. But you walk
in the front door, it's a huge rug and in
the center of it is our state insect, the praying mantis. Okay,
it's a bizarre rug. We stand there, look at it
(05:59):
to go. That's a six foot mantis. It's a little overwhelming.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
That's bigger than me.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
So maybe we'll get people who can talk about stuff
that they've maybe missed, mistake, you approved something and then
you realize later on I screwed up on that one.
Or what are just some of your things that you
mess up on all the time. We've got a guy here, Jonathan,
he needs a little help his girlfriend. Excuse me, let
me correct that his fiance went to Florida for a
(06:31):
bachelorette weekend and she came back, and now he thinks
she's lying about what happened down there, and he's basically
I think he's got good reason to think. So he's
laying out his case to us here in his email.
She never really said much about the weekend. You know,
how was it?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
That was fine? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Nothing really blah blah blah. You would think that that
would have You know, you've been like, oh, it's amazing.
My four best friends and me.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah we were you know, going I went to Florida
for your batcheleat party. And all you say is, yeah,
it was okay.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
All right, nothing big what And then she says, in
the middle of the first night when she came back,
we were sleeping and I saw her phone light up
and that woke me up. It didn't wake her up.
And I looked at the screen and it said that
her sister had texted her and what it said was
what happens in Florida stays in Florida, and that was
(07:28):
very vague and suspicious. And then a second text came
through and it just said I didn't recognize the name,
but it said don't worry about it, don't feel bad.
And now I'm in full stalker mode. And he said,
I went on all of our social media pages. She's
not very active on social media, but she had ninety
(07:48):
three friends before she left, and she now has ninety
four friends. And one of them is the new one
seems to be a young man in Florida.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Wow. He now, maybe this is because I'm not attentive enough,
some women may say about me. He knew how exactly
to the number how many friends she has on Facebook.
This guy's already got some issues with trusts. You stalk
your pay your girlfriend's paid so much. You know exactly
(08:21):
how many friends she has.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
It'd be one thing. You've had ninety three friends for
the last five years, and now you got ninety four.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I can tell you. I literally have no idea. I'll
have to look how many friends does Sally have officially
on Facebook? This? This is a this? This? What was
our word of today? Again? Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
The one with about the bells tolling? Is the bell
tolling for these right now?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yes, this thing's a wrap plant plant something.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, let me get back to it.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
This is great, But we're going to get to use
our word of today's while we say use it three
times you're regular conversation to make a part of your vocabulary.
I'd already forgotten the word, all right.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
The word of the day is plangent.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Plangent. The hushed, plangent sound of dark, usually accompanied by
dark clouds, came rolling slowly over the relationship.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
So what do you do?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Said the girl I'm living with the girl I'm engaged
to be married to in a couple of weeks. I
have very serious beliefs that she's cheated on me. Do
I just act like I didn't notice that?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
There is good reason to believe all of that isn't there.
But you already were suspicious of this, I think because
you knew exactly how many Facebook friends you had. I
find that little tidbit curious, like an old episode of Colombo.
So what are you going to do? Or maybe an
(10:01):
episode of murder? She wrote? What quote you do? To quote?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Pat SUMMERL Yes, I look to me. I always try
to be Look, if I've asked the girl to marry me,
I believe that she's an honest person, and I believe
the best in her.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
And you've already placed your bet.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah, and so, but I am going to ask. I
saw your sister texted you the other night, what happens
in Florida stays in Florida. And then somebody else texted
you don't worry about it? Can you explain that? I mean,
I'm sure it doesn't mean much to you, but it's
got me thinking.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
This is good. I bet we got morning Russian regulars
who have seen those kind of messages before. I'm thinking
of one already and that didn't end well. How do
you think this is going to end? Well? All right,
we'll take that up tomorrow morning. What's going on in
your neighborhood? We should be talking about what's happened in
your relationship. You want us to get to the bottom
(11:01):
of something for you. We could do that. You can
