Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hello, killing Hey there, it'sTomorrow show today. This will be the
first Monday in June when we reconveneon conventional conventionist m Monday morning Man,
Tomorrow is the first of June.This would be the third. It's the
third of June to the other SleepyDusty Delt Today the Billy Joe Mcowst jumped
off the tallahatche Bridge. Is thatwhat he did? It was on June

(00:22):
third, That's when he did it. I remember correctly. Huh oh,
yeah, that was it. Everybodystay off the bridges there, Yeah,
no jumping around. By the way, speaking of bridges, we're supposed to
get like forty new bridges or somethingbuilt around the Carolina Crossroads. Was that
begaid this weeknd Yeah, they shutit down tonight, right, yeah,

(00:42):
they start shutting down certain areas ofthese. That's right. We we You
know, you might not recognize itas Carolina Crossroads. That's what the government
calls it, but most people callit malfunction Junction, So that might give
you a better clue as to whatwe're talking about. But they say that's
a nine year project. Wow,I don't imagine it'll be done in less
than twelve. I would think so, but choose more or less nine years.

(01:08):
I'm going on price. Will itbe more, will it be single
digit years or double digit years?I'm going double digit years. But it's
like an unbelievable amount of bridges thatthey're building in there. So anyway that
it's a new era is about tobegin here in the midlands of South Carolina.

(01:30):
Hopefully it straightens out all the problems. Otherwise, we got a coup
with a new name. Can't callit Malfolix Junction. It's the new junction,
So we've got to have a newname for it. They can be
a competition. Why don't we havethe dang flying cars yet? That would
fix this whole flipping problem. Fixit right, All the pothole problems go
away. It all ends with flyingcars. That's very true. April thirtieth
this year, a high school seniorin Pasadena, Pasadena, Maryland, and

(01:57):
I actually lived in Maryland and Inever even heard of Pasadena, Maryland.
Marlena Colabong apparently posted a picture whichgot the town talking, and then other
people started sharing it and it wentcrazy, and some local news outlets reported
on it, and it was abanner that they hung up in front of

(02:21):
a old, you know, outof business grocery store and it said coming
soon spring twenty twenty five, TraderJoe's. It has It has the Trader
Joe's logo on this banner. Andthe banner looks like it's one of those
vinyl banners, so it's not likea cheap banner, and it's got a

(02:43):
what are they called QR codes.Now, I guess nobody coocked the QR
code, or if they did,very few people did. But the people
of Pasadena, Maryland were thrilled theidea of creamy spinach and artichoke dip is
coming. Yeah, say, let'sjust guess it's the size of like Newberry.

(03:07):
So you get an empty Newberry grocerystore and the kids put up a
sign. Well that's the thing.Nobody knew that it was the kids.
They thought it was a real TraderJoe's sign. It wasn't revealed till this
week that it was a prank.This was a senior prank where all the
seniors in the high school pitched inand paid for a fake fanner and then

(03:28):
helped to spread the word. Now, if anybody took the time to actually
hit the QR code, which appearsto be you know, you would think
it was going to take you likeTrader Jos dot com. It actually took
you to a Rick Astley. You'renever gonna you've been. That's a great

(03:49):
gig. That is that. I'venever even imagined a prank at that level.
What is the best senior prank you'dever heard of that? I've never
heard of one. That's good.That's a good one. I know when
the Bilo stores used to be aroundthe South, people used to steal the
cows at the top of them.When a bilows had they had cows on

(04:12):
the roof, Cows of the roof. Yeah, like a big cow.
The Bilo that I were, youknow over at Sandhills, they never had
a cow, but I always theytook him now because kids were clubbing up
taking him down. That sucks.We lost, We lost the cows.
Yeah, we never lost to nakedcowboy in the bathtub over Yesterday's. By

(04:33):
the way, have you been tothe replacement restaurant Yesterday's. I don't like
to talk badly about places, butI had been to that place, I
forget the name of it. Nowin Knoxville. I think it was,
and I didn't realize it was achange. Yeah, it's a chain.
Amazing in Knoxville. Literally one ofthe top five breakfast experiences we've ever had.

(04:53):
Wow. When they announced they werecoming to Columbia, my wife did
the biggest happy dance. We couldnot wait for them to get here.
We went down there and it totallyfar well. It could have been a
grand opening, no problem. We'vebeen three times. It sucked every time
I who sucks, waiters suck.The lighting sucks every time I find myself

(05:14):
near it. It's always like twoo'clock, you know, it's like in
between meal times. I'm like,hey, gumt, never think about it
because I haven't been there yet.It was far better as yesterday's. Infinitely
better as yesterday's because then you hadthe nostalgic feeling. Sure, this is
trying to be young, hip andfresh, and it's anything but. And
the food for I don't know,I don't know how they make it.

(05:38):
Isn't it not the same recipe?Like you would think it's a chain,
so whatever you're doing would taste exactlyTennessee, it should be exactly the same
in South Carolina. But it's it'sday and night difference. I don't know
how they do it. I don'tknow how they ruined it, but they've
ruined it. Well now I haveto Now that you said that you weren't
impressed with it, now I'm evenmore enticed by it. Oh, how

(06:02):
bad could it be? Is itas bad as Kelly says it is?
Who else has been to I gotto look it up? What is the
name of the place replaced yesterday?I can't even remember the name of it
now because I haven't at the oneyou're talking about it or wherever it was,

(06:23):
so I don't even know. Allright, it was Ruby Sunshine,
that's it. Who's been to aRuby Sunshine somewhere else? And then how
does the one in Columbia compared toit? Is it possible that I just
had an amazing because I went toit once before when I was in Tennessee

(06:44):
and it was just amazing. Butmaybe I was just in a great mood.
I was on a trip, everythingwas going great. How many locations
does Ruby Sunshine have? They're inNew Orleans, They're in well, they
got several of New Orleans. Mygosh, they got a like five of
them in New Orleans. They're inAlabama. They got dow Orleans is like
a restaurant city. You can't havea bad restaurant New Orleans. They got

(07:06):
out of business before dinner. Igot six or seven of them in Alabama.
Uh. So they're all over theflipping place. You got them in
Kentucky. It looks like some evenin North Carolina. Yep, they're everywhere.
There's one in Charlotte. Well maybeyou went to the one in Charlotte

(07:27):
and it wasn't you could find atime together this weekend. But uh,
I'm sorry, I didn't go toKnoxville. I went to Chattanooga. That's
the one I was at. Oh, not the one. They do have
one in Knoxville, all right,but I went to the one in Chattanooga.
Do they have a brunch, becauseI think we're going to the early
service Sunday, I might hold abrunch after that. Oh well, let
me. I'll click on the Columbialocation and I'll see what they tell me

(07:49):
about that for you, because Iwould think that they would have a brunch.
You would think they would have abrunch. Okay, they're open weekends
from seven am to three pm.The menu I see what kind of you
think they got something special for Sundaybrunch. I've never been into places Yesterday's
closed, the Lord's Day. Whatdo they do? It doesn't look like

(08:11):
they have a different menu for Sundays. I do serve a lot of liquor.
You know, I get that eyeopening cocktail, so they call them
the eye opening cocktail, like amorning margarita. Okay, I don't think
I need one of those, butwho knows. I could be feel it
spry, but you know, Ifelt bad yesterday speaking of liquor. I

(08:35):
won't get too far into the story, but there was a there was an
individual I was I was talking withfor a while. We just happened to
have an occasion to be together fora while, and they're telling me stories
about recent events. I'll say withinthe last year, things that have happened,

(08:58):
and a lot of those events involveddrinking, and lots of drinking.
Not like a you know, wehad a sip of wine with dinner.
It was more like and we polishedoff a fifth between the two of us
off a thing. You know.Wow, they were they they they go
for it. And I'm not sayinganything. I'm you know, I'm just
like, I understand. Look,I used to be that way, and

(09:22):
I'm not passing judgment that I ambetter or worse because I don't do that
anymore. But that's just I'm notat that's not where I'm at currently in
my life. Who knows, maybeI'll go back to partying again in the
future, doubt it, but youknow, I'm not saying it couldn't happen
anyway. He's going on and onabout these stories and then said something about,

(09:43):
you know, you ought to comeout with us one time. We
got a bottle of so and soalready waiting for you, right, And
I said, I actually don't drinklike that, and the demeanor of everything
was ruined. I ruined the day. Oh great, I should have just
said i'll be I can't wait toget hammered, but I did. I

(10:05):
was like, oh, I actually, you know I don't. I don't.
I mean, he said you don'tdrink at all. I said,
wow, I might have a beerevery like three or four you can get
you can get excluded real quick ifyou don't drink. Yeah, I'll have
a glass of wine. More thanlikely more than probably about an eighty percent
chance of me having a glass ofwine if I'm at a steakhouse. I

(10:28):
one of my favorite tastes in theworld is a steak with red wine.
Love that combination. But that's aboutas far as I'm going. I mean,
I've had I've enjoyed a bourbon fromtime to time, but it's not
like I haven't even been buzzed inprobably ten years. Right, these guys

(10:50):
are talking about waking up not knowingwhere they were, and there. I
think they're at least my age,if not older, and they're just going
at it like I used to goat it and you know, my twenties.
But they're still walking over to thefront window, take a peek outside,
see if your car is there.Maybe maybe you've had an awkward experience
where you had to admit you don'tdrink and where you shunned, where you

(11:13):
shunned. I'm just you can getkicked out of a social circle if you
don't drink. Oh absolutely, youcan, absolutely, And by the way,
you probably wouldn't want to be inthat circle, would you, because
you know what they're going to do. Yeah, I haven't missed any of
that. They're going to go gethammered. And if you're not if you're
not willing to go to the wildby the way here, or you can't

(11:35):
be a part of it. Frontpage of the Posting Courier. They now
have a fella here who's in abank holding up a bomb. This happened
in Mount Pleasant. Apparently he pledguilty yesterday. He's got a but he
is wearing his COVID mask. Turnsout that the fellaw they arrested is forty

(11:58):
five year old Scott Tunis, whois now being sentenced for armed bank robbery.
That'll happen. But the thing thatI find ironic on this is that
he is a certified financial planner whois apparently having challenges with the family finances,
and he tried to go in thereand remedy the situation by robbing a

(12:20):
bank. But this, I mean, oh my gosh, that's gotta suck
when you're a financial planner and you'reyou're having, for whatever reason, awful
a bad financial time. This isa bad day. How do you like?
It's kind of like it's like,are you a a fitness trainer who

(12:43):
is suddenly finding yourself putting on weightand you don't know what to do about
it? I just I can't thinkof another job like that. But this
is like one of those things.You're a mechanic who can't get your car
to work. Yeah, that's awful. He was desperate into desperate things.
According to the district attorney. Ohmy gosh, yeah, he stole eighty
seven hundred dollars. Also, whenyou're robbing a bit, does eighty seven

(13:09):
hundred seem like enough to rob it? Seems like I would want like a
you got to come up with atleast twenty Yeah, I'm not leaving with
eighty seven hundred. Come on,yeah, you open up the safe.
I'm gonna need some more moral dilemmaMonday coming down, and everybody we talked
about that. Oh by god,you know what, it's going to be
a high school kind of day becausewe've got the senior prank thing coming up,
but also we got moral dilemma Monday. We've got a Morning Russia regular

(13:33):
whose brother graduated high school either ayear ago or two years ago. Dad
came through for the brother with aseven day cruise, So she's thinking I'm
getting something similar, sure, andinstead she got a bracelet. Uh uh,
it's a Joe Biden economy and she'swondering is it in bad form?

(13:58):
I mean, my feelings are legithurt that you spent like one thousand dollars
on him and one hundred dollars onme. Yeah, and you absolutely bring
it up. You just say thatbecause you love the awkwardness. That's why
you always choose the awkwardness. Ido love it, But I mean,
is it the family? Can yoube Can you be honest with the family?

(14:24):
Should she be hurt? Should shenot be? Just thankful? Dad
has supported her to the point thatgot her through her high school graduation.
He's probably gonna help with college orsomething moving forward. I'm sure that well,
I'm not sure of anything. I'msure this would be awkward. That's
why. That's all I want toknow. How do you respond if well,

(14:45):
Jane was your oldest right, Soif you if you if John,
after he graduated high school, saidwell you gave Janey something a lot better
than why why'd you go so cheapon me? Would you be like what
the freak? Or would you belike, well, you know, I
hadn't considered that. Or would itbe like, don't you worry about what
about my finances? Junior? That'sgood? No, No, they they

(15:11):
kind of had a complaint, butI never heard about it. I was
surprised. How did you hear aboutit? Later? I didn't, I
was thinking about it. They nevercomplained. Oh, it was never brought
to mom or anybody. So whenJaney graduated high school, we had Sally
had a car. I had acar, or I had a truck,

(15:33):
and then I had a car.But I didn't have anything for Janey to
drive. So I went out andbought a because she wanted one, a
yellow. It was that it wasthe year of the new Bug. Well,
I remember her driving it around yep. So I got her the new
yellow bug and she drove it,a new one. You didn't even go

(15:54):
used a ticket back, It wasslightly used, okay, So I got
it from an advertiser. We're dealingwith it at the time. I got
a great price on it, Thankyou again. But I got that.
Now, when the boys started driving, they had a vehicle to drive,

(16:15):
because I don't they Oh I knowwhat it was. John started driving the
truck, so, okay, justlet him drive the truck. Don't wreck
my truck. It's my dad's truck. Don't wreck it. So they actually
in high school all three of them. That truck went to high school three
times, and thankfully they didn't wreckit. And I still get offers every

(16:36):
day to buy it. Whenever Istopped to get gas for that truck.
Yeah, like it was my dad'struck. That's what you have to say
that upfront. They go, oh, man, I understand I shouldn't have
asked. Of course I should ask. I want it so but they never
pointed out, hey, you boughtJaney your car when you graduated high school.
You plopped twenty grand on her.Yeah, they never pointed that out.

(17:00):
For me, said take the handme down truck, put gas in
it. So that was one ofthe few times because I try to,
you know, do as much forone as the other. You know,
you can't keep a ledger on it, but I try to do about the
same amount they're keeping a ledger theyare keeping. So I'm surprised you to

(17:21):
hear about it on your eightieth birthday. And remember you still owe that's right,
still owe me a car because whenthey all went to buy their car
after you graduated high school, Idid not buy them a car. I
gave him twenty five hundred dollars each. Towards it. You just go buy
a car. Here's twenty five hundreddollars puts use it as a down payment.
That would be a month's worth ofMcDonald's right now. Right. But

(17:45):
see, I'm going through the samething now because Lee is about to get
married. So we go through therehearsal dinner budget. He wanted to know
how much was left in the rehearsaldinner budget. I don't really know who
has the budget or is there thereis a budget? There is a budget.
Yeah, so is Sally watching thebudget because you know that, Well,

(18:07):
I have to watch the budget.Oh so, but I don't know.
I haven't added everything up yet.Oh rehearsal dinner and you got all
the then they got the boot kneersand all the other stuff I was supposed
to take care of. So whathappens if he goes over budget? Well,
then that's what I'm saying. Thenwhat am I gonna do? I'll
go back. So David really kindof got slighted because he got married during
COVID. Okay, well you couldn'tget a group of people together. It's

(18:30):
against the law. Yeah, Sodo I go back now and make that
up to David, you're gonna makehim whole with a check. Here you
go, because I skimped your dinner. Yeah, because again I don't pay
for their honeymoon. Yeah, Igive them. I think I've got to
go back and ask David. Ithink I gave him. I think twenty

(18:51):
five hundred bucks is for some reason, that's a good number for me.
So you give him twenty five hundreddollars for a car, twenty five dollars
for their engagement gainers or whatever whatever. When he got married, he had
twenty Now see you Now Lee's gonnaget the rehearsal dinner, which is more
than twenty five hundred bucks, soplus no gift stuff. So no gift.

(19:12):
Then for the wedding, we alreadygave it to you. Man,

already picked out a gift. Ohmy gosh, dude, I know you
