Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Kelly Nash, Hi tomorrow show today, tomorrow's Thursday. What
you're talking about with the last chance because the show
is tomorrow night. Somebody gonna wake him in the morning.
When tickets for Old Dominion being Charleston tomorrow night for
the show.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
That's I mean, look, it's not for everybody, that's but
if you're one of those people who'd like, Hey, I'd
like four tickets to go see Old Dominion, or maybe
you don't even care about Old Dominion, you just want
four pack of tickets to go see the fireflies. Right
we're doing the double clicks for double ticks, and we're
not sure if we're going to be doing an email
contest or how we're going to conduct it. Right now,
it's still tentatively set to call in, but I'm not

(00:35):
sure if the phone lines will be fixed by tomorrow
morning yet, so stand behind.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
They haven't been fixed already, but nonetheless supposedly that effort
is being efforted.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
The word of the day for what you're talking about
ersatz arthsats.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Oh you chose that because of the phone line problem? Okay,
Ersatz is a seemingly unsurmountable issue.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
You know it. It's funny because you you're correct, the
ersats could be applied due to the phone situation. H huh,
but it's not for that is not the actual definition.
The definition is an inferior substitution. So perhaps email is
there's ours.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Will be oursat position yeah, for the absence of phone calls.
I'm very confident our engineering staff will have this email
of fix. Probably just got a swing by AT and
T or Bell South or Verizon to whoever supplies our
phone lines and make the payment.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Could be, could be, could be. By the way, the
full definition is an inferior substitute or imitation. So that's
like you know, when you get your like I used
to get the down in Chinatown when I lived up
in New York. Rather than paying full price for the Oakley's,
we would buy the joke les, so it was like
eight dollars. They looked like Oakley got it. But then

(02:01):
you know, the thing would start peeling and it looked
like a moron. After a couple of weeks, were in
your joke.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Lees or country boys. If you wanted to get the uh,
if you wanted to get up. Let's say it's a
thirty thirty pump, but the Winchester was not within your
budgetary reach. You would go for the Rossi model. Okay,
Rossi made a living out of a mock in uh
best selling firearms and then putting it on the market,

(02:27):
so you can have one that looks like it.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Ah, it doesn't work like it, but it looks like it.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
All right, Well that's it. It's still it's an ersatz.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yes, that should have been the name of the guy.
What you got there? I gotta that's thirty thirty.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
We've got, you know, Jonathan. Nostalgia. I don't know that
nostalgia has ever not been in style, but it certainly
seems like it's getting more and more in style. And
oftentimes it's has to do with people not liking the
current situation that they're in, or perhaps even fearful of

(03:07):
the future.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
You're still get nostalgic when you're looking at a problem
that you can't deal with because the bones or whatever.
I remember back in the day, you just picked the
damn thing up, picked the receiver up off the wall,
and you dial the number of the rotary worse every time.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Seventy one percent of Americans say that they miss the
summer times of their childhood that they like to think
about those And if you go to the kids who
grew up in the nineteen nineties, that's now eighty percent.
Eighty percent of the people who are adults now wished
that they could have the summers like they had.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
You know, they had some great summers in the nineteen nineties.
My kids had some great damn summers. It tells me
a lot of damn money. I'm still cussing about it.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Well, you know, speaking of money, Apparently they looked at
this and instacart said, maybe we can tap into that.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Now.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
It's not for everything, but instacart is going to roll
it back to the nineteen nineties on certain prices on
snacks from that decade, like really bagel bites, kool Aid,
Capri sun. I don't even know what an otter pop is.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
I don't know what that is.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Hot pockets. Hot pockets clearly Canadian, by the way. I
saw clearly Canadian and Sam's Club the other day. Yeah,
but it's like bubbly water, but it's got flavor in it.
And I was like shocked. I thought they went out
of business, like fifteen years ago. I remember this drink.
I saw it in Sam's Club like a week ago.
That was the first time I'd seen it in a while.

(04:40):
So I had like a tangerine flavor. Okay, yeah, and
a weird shape in the bottle. I remember too, but
I remember that. So what childhood snacks do you miss
or what was the best summer of your life? Can
you remember?

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Like?

Speaker 2 (04:59):
What year?

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Wow? I tell you the best summer, the best snack.
I still I reserve it only for Saluted County. I
will not eat a little Debbie oatmeal pie unless I'm
at the house because that keeps it special.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Isn't that Nick Saban's favorite snack as well?

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yes, but I and they still My mom had them
all the time. My dad's still My dad still has them.
He gets them at the gross store, puts them in.
They got an old lance cracker jar, one of those
old school things, and that's where you put up so
you can just look from across the room. Oh look,
there's an oat mill. There's oatmeal pies. Clink, clink, clink.
You can also tell when somebody gets one, because you

(05:41):
can't open that damn thing without a clinking.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
I've tried the cows hear it.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, best summer, it's.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Usually like when you're like thirteen fourteen years old.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
That's funny because that's what I was thinking.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, it's always like just as puberty's hitting your kind
of becoming full aware of everything.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Right before you start driving, because that's one of the
big challenges of that summer is getting around.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah. Yeah, you still got to ride your ten speed
or whatever everywhere.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
It's a good summer.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
So yeah, and I can remember a lot of activities
that happened, like when I was like thirteen fourteen, where
I just had a blast doing almost nothing in some instances.
Did you guys ever play I think it was called
kick the Can is a game that we played, or
kicked the bucket was actually what we called it because
we had a big like a painter's bucket. I remember

(06:35):
playing that game on Friday nights with like seven other kids.
And we would play that game from like right after
dinner at like six o'clock, and we'd go till ten
eleven o'clock at night, till the neighbors were like, hey,
go inside. That's great. We had so much fun doing it.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Shut up out here.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, people sleep around air. We're decent people sleeping.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
That's good.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
So Anyway, we're gonna look for your favorite possible snacks
as a child, or possibly favorite year that you can remember.
I'm gonna go summer seventy eight. That was probably one
of my best summers. What else we got, Oh, I'm
a little surprised by this story. Jonathan Consumer Reports has
run the data on the most reliable car brands for

(07:25):
twenty twenty five. Currently, by the way, we're almost at
fifty thousand dollars for a average new car. It's forty eight,
like eight now is the median price for a new
car fifty grand.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
They're not coming down after COVID, They're not coming down.
The prices are never coming down.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
The house I grew up in, if I remember correctly,
was about half that price. I'm sure not fifty grand
for a car. It's not a luxury car.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
What was that line, Jimmy Buffett's What was that line?
Jimmy Buffett used? Kids today are spending more on a
pair of tennis shoes than it cost me for my
first car.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
You know what, not not too far off. I think
my first car that I bought was a Honda Civic
five speed, and I did not know how to drive
a five speed. So my friend Jim Williams had to
try to teach me. And I think, I think that
that car cost me five hundred dollars. But yeah, no,
you're not buying five hundred dollars cars anymore, not ones

(08:29):
that run. But you probably are. There probably are some
people buying five hundred dollars tennis shoes out there. I mean,
I know they're definitely in the two fifty year old.
I mean, that's not unusual to hear two three hundred
dollars sneakers anymore. But number one most reliable car brand.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Let me guess.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
I would never drive this ever.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Oh wow, I'm gonna be surprised. I was just thinking
it's got to be Honda, Toyota super Ru, really super Ru.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
And that's the first time there they knocked off Lexus
at number two.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
It's a Toyota product.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Number three is Toyota, Number four is Honda, five is Accura,
six is Masda is a Honda product, Mazda Audi BMW
Kiya BMW.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Is that high on the list number nine? Wow? Yeah,
some might have been doing some improvements over there.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Big names that didn't make the list in the top
ten four number thirteen Volvo number fifteen, Chevy number sixteen,
and Elon's not going to like this. Tesla is number seventeen.
A lot of breakdowns with the Tesla's interesting. So there
you go. If you're looking to buy a new car

(09:42):
and you're you're interested in wondering what kind of a
headaches you're going to.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
Have it come with the eco stickers on the window.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
For the Tesla super Oh, I don't know. I don't know.
I think it comes with a gay Pride flag.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
I know that's standard equipment.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Standard. I gotta pay extra if you don't want it
on there?

Speaker 1 (10:01):
What a sally'spense. Sally told me one of my friends
is going to get a new car. I said, oh,
good for her, she should go to hond of Columbia. No,
she's going to get a super U. I said, that
is exactly her car. Oh you can tell, oh, totally,
that's her car. You it's funny you and if you
drive a Supero, no offense. I mean there's a there's

(10:24):
a disdain that you have for the rest of us,
that's obvious. Totally.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
I read all about it on the Wind Show. I
mean in the back glass. I hate everybody. Well because
he's trying to coexist with a bunch of idiots. It's
what you're telling me with your with your co exists
with idiots? Why And that bumper sticker available that should
be the entire damn bumper spray painted from the factory.
Trying to coexist with idiots around here? Back up, Oh

(10:50):
my gosh, so true, so true.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
We got a morning rest of regular Jonathan, who apparently
is upsetting his current girlfriend. Let me go to the
email here. It seems as if he has a watch
that he loves, and partly it's because it's a very
expensive watch. Let's see that, all right, So he doesn't

(11:15):
say it's a Rolex, but he implies that it's a Rolex. Okay,
So this is a gift from his ex girlfriend. The
ex girlfriend gave him a watch, and it is engraved
on the inside of the watch so nobody else would
see it. But when she gave it to him several
years ago, it was engraved. I guess now it says

(11:38):
ex girlfriend. But I'm assuming if she bought a watch
like this, this is actually like an ex fiance and
he likes to wear that. He had never told his
current girlfriend, I saw I got it He never said that,
but one day when the watch was off, she saw

(12:01):
the engraving, and now she's pissed and she doesn't want
them to keep that watch. What do you do now?

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Go buying one?

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Oh yeah, it's very easy to have me get rid
of this thirty thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Sure, just go buy me another one. You could even
trade this in. Maybe you get five grand for it,
and it's only going to cost you twenty five. What
the hell are you talking about. I'm not gonna wear
the watch. It was a gift. I got to qualify
all the gifts and previous to you by telling you
who gave it to me.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
I almost feel like this is like in the political
donation arena. When somebody gives you the donation. Nobody cares
who they were. They just gave you five hundred dollars
or whatever for your campaign. But then when it later
comes out that they were a child molester, Uh huh,
you've got it's incumbent upon refund that much. I have
to find the five hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
If they find that exact five hundred dollars, yes, and
give it back to them, yes, or they are not
a replica. Not not a suitable substitute of any currency
that those exact dollars.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yes, so I don't know.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
I get to order a will only cost you like
a grand maybe.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
But don't you still think of her? Don't you think
of her? If you're if your girlfriend or fiance or
you know, ex wife, somebody gave you something and I don't.
I mean, I'm not trying to put it up there
with a thirty thousand hour watch.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
I got a truck that my my previous girlfriends wrote
in Do I have to get rid of it?

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Well, they didn't give it to you. So it's like
I'm trying to think of like something that could be
somewhat expensive that would be a typical gift, like a
nice leather like yeah, exactly, like a nice leather jacket
or something you happen to love the leather jacket. It's
like a seven hundred dollars leather jacket. You break up
with her, but you still have the leather jacket. Isn't

(13:50):
your mind going to go back to that individual every
now and again?

Speaker 1 (13:53):
When every time I get my watch, what time is it? Oh?
I thought of her again?

Speaker 2 (13:57):
It's broken heart time.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Ironically a watch? Oh that's it even more awkward.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
It's time for the one of them.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
You look at her and look at your watch, you're
going to think of her.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
I get the point. I totally get it. Like, how
would I feel if my wife wore some sort of jewelry,
expensive diamond ear rings that her ex fiance gave her.
I know she's thinking of him every time she puts
him on, maybe with a disdain in her heart for
the guy because they're no longer together, but she's still
it's still.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
In her mind.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
Like I would want to replace them, but maybe I'm
not in a financial.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
I got to replace in my life. For instance, I
had these hands, these hands used to hold her.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Do you think of her when you look at your hand?

Speaker 1 (14:45):
This is good? This is so awkward. I love it.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
She paid for my dental fillings. Do I have to
remove the TV?

Speaker 1 (14:51):
This is good? Okay, you tell us ponder that one.
That's a good one. Ponder that one and let us
know tomorrow morning. By the way, number to call in
and talk about that same number if it's working. And
I just found out ATT had a massive problem, So
what just us could have been your office as well.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Oh I'm getting a phone call right now. I wonder
if this has to do with.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Us AT and T had a massive problem. So we
get the phones working again to morrow and call it
ATO three nine seven eight nine two sixty seven Ato
three nine seven eight w COS the same number you
use to one your old Dominion concert tickets tomorrow for
the show tomorrow night. And if you double click on
the web page at the morning Rusch Block you get
the double tics. We'll give you Fireflyes tickets for next

(15:30):
week when they take on the Cannonballers Kannapolis is coming
to town.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
We did get a couple of talkbacks today, by the way,
that's her first time ever that we've actually tried that.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
So we're gonna start. We're going to come up with
something just for the talk background, because that apparently is
something that a number one we were supposed to be
promoting it more. That is that is my fault. That
is a failing common to me.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
Now, it doesn't work if you're listening to the podcast.
You have to be listening on an app, not on
the website. You actually go to the app, the iHeartRadio app,
and if you're whatever radio station you're listening to, if
you're listening to WCOS, you can see there's a red
button like a microphone button on the upper part of it.
If you push that button, it'll give you like a three.

(16:13):
First off, it's going to ask you can can we
use your microphone? If you say yes, they have to yes,
then it'll when you hit it, I'll give you like
a three two one, and then you talk and whatever
you say, we get it. And it actually sounds better
than a phone, and it saves you all the time
of trying to call and wait for first to pick
up the phone or whatever. You can just say, hey,
here's my thoughts on the guy with the watch.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Yeah, dude with the watch and heeds just get a
new back and that like it never happened.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Or it's vanity. Who cares if you got a fifty
thousand dollars Rolex Pal.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
My favorite sin man. We'll do all that tomorrow in
the morning. Rush
