Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hello, Kelly Nash, having for show today be the first
Monday a summer. When we get back in here, it's
gonna be hot because we got hot Thomas Rhett tickets.
We've got hot cash coming back. We've got all kind
of stuff coming back here Monday on the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Rush Cash giveaway starts at what nine?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Yep? All right, son, we're working nine to five. What
a way to make a living. Thousand dollars every time
we do it? Nine to five k nine ka day payday.
I like it.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I wish I was getting a thousand dollars too. Goodness, gracious,
well you can get it. We can't because we work here,
and we also can't win the Thomas Rehdd tickets. This
I don't know this to be a fact, but if
it's not our last pair, I'd be very shocked. I
thought today was going to be the last pair. Then
we got an update. We have another pair for Monday.
So for those of you want to go see Thomas
(00:46):
Rhett Thursday night, Credit One Stadium in Charleston. What I
believe will be the final pair of tickets for what
you're talking about coming down Monday morning, six thirty. The
word Jonathan I've never heard it. I don't know if
I'm pronouncing it right. I will tell you it's a
British word, and I believe it's pronounced gongozler.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
You're a gong goozler.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
It's not a derogatory.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Is an English word, and it was used most recently
in a Doctor Seuss book. Yes, and a gongozler is
someone who drinks all of your water. Really, that's it.
One of Doctor Seuss's characters.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Was the gol Well, no it was.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
He wasn't called gong, but that's what he did. He
was a gongoozler. He drank all of you, all of
your water, or maybe he drank all your tea. I
forgot something about consuming fluids.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
It's interesting that you pointed to water, because that is
a large part of the actual definition. It's a person
who enjoys the sights and sounds of canals, so they're
drawn to Originally, when I started reading it, it said something
about a person who enjoys watching boats, and I thought, well,
(02:04):
so we could have some gongoozlers here in Lake Murray
or something. But gongoozler is specific to the canals, so
they like the boats on the canals. But they also
like the sounds of the what are the locks? The
locks when they go up and down or whatever they
it fascinates them and they'll spend many hours.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
It is amazing what the canal is. How the canals
first helped man travel in worldways, I mean we ever
thought of that anyway, and then to be able to
do it, I mean they held back water and built
those locks. They did like the eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Mankind continues to just I think blow. Here's the other
thing about mankind. Why is it that only certain parts
of mankind did it great? There are there are large
swap I mean we talk about first world countries. Do
we have second world countries? I know we have third
world countries, Third World I don't know. We gotta have
(02:58):
a category. Is Vietnam like a second World country?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I think maybe they got out of the third world
went to the second world category. They're decimately going to
get to number one, but they're going to get to
the first world because I didn't realize how much stuff
we import from Vietnam. Yeah, well, you know how the
trade wars came up. I didn't realize the amount of
stuff that we import from Vietnam.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
When the US. I mean, that's an amazing thing about
the United States. If we go to war with you,
when we're done with it, doesn't merely matter how it
turns out, we're gonna help you rebuild. And we've not forever.
We've been spending trillions of dollars over the last hundred
plus years.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
While it was America's number one family destination, vacation destination, Vietnam, Vietnam.
Everybody wanted to go to Vietnam.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Never had that hankering, never wanted to go. But yeah,
the but the why is it that there are certain
countries and areas of the world, like like you know,
Vietnam's in Asia. Then you look at like Japan. Japan
is ultimate First World Absolutely, It's got every possible a
(03:59):
man luxury available to them. Vietnam does not have that.
Why why why not? I don't Why does it things that.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
They're wiling themselves up from the bootstress but they're not
there yet?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Why are some parts of the world there's not even cars?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Oh you think about some parts of the world, like, yeah,
I donate to I forgot what the charity, what the
church driven charity is, But they dig whales. Sure, there
are places in the country where people don't even have
a well.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Well, what's his name, The late Great Sam Kinnison would say,
stop doing that.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
You gotta move. You see what this is sand. You
know it's gonna you know, it's gonna be a thousand
years from now. Sand.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Nothing grows here.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Move closer to the food. It was the same thing here
in South Carolina've been telling people forever, move out of
the Corridor shame. Move, move to where the grocery stores are,
Move to where the jobs are.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
That's a little bit harder to do. I guess you.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Can commute to the farm jobs in the Corridor of Shame.
You don't have to live there. You could live thirty
miles away and still commute the end of the morning.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Well possibly so. In the meantime, Jonathan, I know we've
got a lot of people going to want to make
some summer vacation plans. I got a new report out
this morning, The twenty twenty five air hacks report has arived.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I have no idea what that means.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
This is how to get the best in flights?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Oh gotcha? Okay, best day to.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Book a flight in twenty twenty five because this apparently
changes from year to year. So the best day to
book a flight is Sunday. Airfare is typically six percent
lower on domestic seventeen percent lower on international flights if
you book it on Sundays compared to booking on Monday.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Departure on Sunday, no booking, Oh, you just get online
and book it on a Sunday.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
You book it on a Sunday, you're going to get
a cheaper airfare.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
The cheapest month of the year to travel is August.
So I know a lot of people have traditionally said
I try to avoid summer travel, but it is forty
percent more expensive to travel believe it or not in
February and March than it is August. I have no
idea who's traveling in February and March rather than business people.
(06:20):
But August is the cheapest month of the year. Quietest
day to travel is Tuesday. Quietest month is February. Well,
probably because it's so damn expensive to travel by February.
Probably July is the busiest month of the year for
air traffic. The days to depart for the cheapest are
(06:41):
Saturdays and Thursdays.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Get ahead of the weekend by going on Thursday or
going the middle of the weekend on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
If you can fly on a Thursday instead of a Friday,
that can save you up to seventeen percent. Yes, that's
a huge deal. Morning flights are significantly less likely to
be canceled.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
My favorite time to fly Saturday morning, like five o'clock,
five or six am.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yep, the lowest rates of cancelations happened between nine am
and three pm. When you get to nine pm, you
have a fifty seven percent chance of a delay. Yes,
and it's oh my gosh, it's like you have a
better chance of actually being delayed than not being delayed.
And those nine o'clock departure flights and so anyway, those
(07:32):
are some of the hacks. You can read the rest
of them on the Morning Rest blog at ninety seven
five to b CS dot com. Maybe you've got some
tips that you can share for us. I just suffered
through a miserable trip back from d C last Saturday
or Sunday where sat on the tarmac forever.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
The hours Sunday.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
And here's the funny earlier, here's the funny thing. So
there was two flights from DC to Columbia. The first
I think was eleven am. The second one was I
think five pm. I chose the five pm flight, not
having read this report already. I chose the five pm
flight because I figured, well, Sunday, my wife doesn't want
(08:15):
to have to rush out. You know, if you got
to be to the airport, and these big city airports,
you got to be there no later than two hours
before the flight departure, because it takes at least an
hour to.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Get through sure the security.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
So if you get at eleven o'clock flight, that means
you got to be there by nine, which means you're
going to be have to check out of the hotel
by like eight thirty, which means that she's going to
have to be ready to go by the get up
at seven. Yeah, she's gonna have to get up at seven.
We're gonna be out late on Saturday night. She's gonna
feel rushed. This is an opportunity for her to sleep in.
We'll go to brunch, we'll explore a little bit of DC,
(08:49):
we'll catch a cab at about three in the afternoon.
It'll be perfect. Well, it was not perfect because it
was one problem after another, and we didn't get home
until almost. It was midnight and I should have taken
that eleven am flight.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, you got home later than I did, and I
was hung up in Atlanta in a three hour traffic jam,
and I still got home before you did.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I don't know me. Would I rather be stuck on
a tarmac or in a traffic jam? Now you weren't driving,
you were I thought Sally.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Sally was actually driving. So you're in the passenger seat,
so you can fart on the navigator. So I'm working
Ways and Google. I tell you right now, do not
trust Google. Doe. Siri will lie to you in a
damn minute. Well is an Apple product, That's right, Siri.
Doesn't Siri get lost on a one lane road. She
could get lost. Google is too many people using Google.
(09:45):
Everybody's already flooding that escape route. You got to use Waste.
And no matter what Ways tells you to do, do it.
If Waste says turn around and go back twenty miles,
do it, do it. Do it Unless Waste he tells
you to drive off the dock. So I learned a
long time ago because I said, that's stupid. Why would
(10:08):
I do that? Ways, Why would I trust you? Oh?
I tell you what, I'll trust you, and then I'll
delete you. I remember saying this out loud. I was
driving back from Nashville, SPA. I was coming through Knoxville,
and I trust the waves. And then when I when
I saw what was happening, and I drove past the
wreck on the other side of the interstate, and then
I got back on the other and I'm like, I
(10:28):
love this app. Ways is the best thing ever?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Well, and are you a good wayser? Meaning do you
actually put information into Yeah? See, I tried to do
that too. It's tough because I'm driving.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
You're gonna be part of the community. You gotta be
part of the community. You're not gonna be on the team.
You're just gonna be a parasite. Don't get on the
don't get on the app if you're just gonna suck
off of it.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
They always ask is the is the uh, you know,
accident reported ahead? Is the vehicle still on the side
of the road there?
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
And then sometimes I feel bad. I actually have a
bad feeling because I'm not seeing it. I'm not seeing it.
I'm not seeing it, and I want to hit the button.
Yes it's still there, don't hit it. Don't hit it.
And then all of a sudden, I see it. But
now the button has gone it.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
You got to hit it right right when you see it.
You got to hit it.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
You took it away too fast.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Well, at least you didn't say it wasn't there, because
it's still there. Yes, be a contributor, Be part of
the community. Be part of the tribe.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Police activity reported ahead.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
It's good. Trust the Ways. I should be the spokesperson
for Ways. There's nobody more committed to Ways than me.
So you even use it around town in Columbia because
you don't know what the hell is going to happen.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Oh that's true. You could just be driving across town.
You're in Forest Acres. You want to be in West Columbia.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Pops up Ways, Turn right, turn right, we're going We're going.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Up to northeast. Why would we do that? Because Way
said this.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Way said to trust me, do not. Sally won't trust me.
And I told her, I said, you're listening to Google.
You're going to screw up. Sure as hell will get
off and guess what everybody on the internet. People probably
got up from their home, got in the car and
drove there just to get in the mix of it.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
You have been a big I don't know, an evangelist
for Ways for many years now, and I'm now, I'm
just remembering a trip that I took with Angela, and
I wish I could remember where we were going, but
we were driving somewhere far away, and we had the
ways app on and it told me to get off
(12:29):
the highway, and Angela started like, that's stupid. We're like
one hundred miles from where we're going.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Why would we exit?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
The highway just says go, And so I said, look,
Jonathan says, listen to the way. So we got off
the exit. She's like, and she was getting very angry.
We're out in like a cornfield. We're in the middle
of nowhere in there. Yeah, come up to like that
four way stop where there's like why did they even
have a stop sign? There's nobody here, take a left,
and she's like, we are way off the beaten path.
(12:58):
And then somehow I have like maybe it was like
outside of it Land or something like one of those
news talk stations or something. And then then the report
started coming on major highway jam up on seventy five
overturned eighteen wheeler it's backed up thirty five miles in
counting or something like that. It was like we escaped hell.
(13:18):
We would have been in hell till like eight o'clock tonight.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Just Sally Ever starts complaining, I'll zoom out and I'll say, well,
there's something wrong with the innerting. Oh look at this.
Look at that ten miles ahead, there's like camels roaming wildly,
the wild camels. You don't know ways, ways, nos, trust
the ways always.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
And God bless the people who update the ways. Uh
so that we know about the accidents. All right, Jonathan,
reading from the email, I this is our moral dilemma
Monday question of the day. It seems like everybody has
a work spouse. I know, I have a work husband.
My husband has a work white. Everything is cool. But
(14:02):
this year for his birthday, his work wife bought him
a golf driver. I'm talking about a three hundred plus
dollar golf driver.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
They get very expensive.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Uh So that kind of like throws up a red
flag for me. It makes me pay attention, like, who
is this workwife of yours? Why would she spend three
hundred dollars on your birthday? Yeah, this seems very off
to me. I've never given a gift to any of
my friends that would cost three hundred dollars do Does
(14:35):
she have reason to suspect, at the very least that
this quote unquote work wife would like to have more
than just a working relationship with her husband, and perhaps
it's already crossed into that that arena. I would say,
typically women don't give gifts to try to impress men.
(14:58):
Men give gifts to try to impro women. If the
woman is buying a very expensive gift like that, then
to me, something's already happened.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Is that something that she hit the lottery and she's
rich beyond her wildest dreams and she can just throw
three hundred dollars away, or is it more likely that
there is some sort of I'm not saying that they've
they haven't necessarily physically crossed the line, but emotionally something
has happened. If last year's birthday gift was, you know,
(15:30):
a box of Girl Scout cookies or something, you know,
some sort of ten to fifteen dollars gift, and this
year's it's three hundred dollars, heck, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I came home and I have a three hundred dollar drive.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
If you're into golf. Maybe you're more of a fisherman.
I don't know other fishing rods that cost three four
hundred dollars. So you came home with a four hundred
dollars or three hundred dollars fishing ride, yeah, or something
that that woman would know. Jonathan Rush loves to do.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
And Sally said, what did you get that? And I said, well,
so it's so give it to me at the office.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yeah, sweet cheeks, donted to greased one Boulevard.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Christmas Birthday gift women. She gave you that.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
That's more expensive than the gift I got you. And
I've been your wife for decades.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh yeah, that would not go over.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
But is it a moral dilemma? I think it might be.
I hate to say that. I try to shy away
from this would sound.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Look at me and say, I know this is why.
And I knew this about you when I first met you.
Even people you know, they just work with you, They
just appreciate you so much because of just being around
you and working with you. I totally get it. That
was a great gift. I'm glad she gave you that.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I mean, let me kind of rephrase this a little bit.
If you were receiving a gift from a lady at
work and it was a very extravagant gift like that, yeah,
wouldn't you question it? Like I I mean if a
woman that I worked with or a man if tumblewe
if somebody you just gave me for some reason a
(17:11):
three hundred plus dollar gift out of like what why
are you doing this? I would be questioning male or female,
not because it's a sexual thing, just like why did
you spend so much money on my birthday gift? That
seems weird to me. But I'm also not a big
(17:31):
gift giver. I'm not the kind of person. That's not
my gift my spiritual love language. That's not my love
It is my wife's gift.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
It's not my love language.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
It's very frustrating for my wife because that is her
love language. And I'm not very good at giving gifts.
And I'm also not very good at receiving gifts. Like
I don't want anything.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
So most don't.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
So my wife has tried year after year to try
to get me stuff that I want. Yes, please please stop,
like I have Like so I was telling somebody about
the other day because they said, oh, have you tried
to such and such? Like my wife gave me those
like four years ago for my birthday. It's like these
I think you put like they look like ski goggles,
but you can't see out of them.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
There.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
They're supposed to relax your eyes. And then I've got
headphones like built into them and they massage your eyes
or whatever. And they're like two hundred dollars or something.
And she was so excited to give them to me,
and I was just I tried to put on that
fake like, oh, this is great. I've never used them.
I don't want to use them.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
This is good. All right, we'll talk about that Monday. Hey,
what's going on in your neighborhood? We should be talking about.
You know, how to reach out to us on social media.
You can also do that by email. I'm Rushi at
ninety seven five, couple you cost.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Co Nash at ninety seven five w sos dot com.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
And Monday we start talking, you start talking, you start
winning the six thirty We got that last pair of
Thomas Red tickets. It's eight oh three ninety seven eight
ninet two sixty seven. If you're listing on the iHeartRadio
app it's a three.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
It says the same number no matter how you listen
to us.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah, I was just thinking, if you're out of state,
you might and uh, and maybe you don't even live here.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
And what about the people who we have not yet
done this? When are we gonna find out who got
the first new I don't even know what the new
area code is for Columbia.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I'm getting to meet anybody who's given me their number.
It'll be this new area gun.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Maybe maybe that'll be Tuesday's contest. Maybe that will be
tuesday's contest. I don't know what it is, but we'll
do a contest maybe on Tuesday, the first person to
call in with the new area code for Columbia.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Okay, we got that, do that as well. Hey, you
let us know. And Monday morning, six thirty. What you're
talking about? Nine o'clocks when cash starts Monday morning? More
a lemmon, just after seven o'clock, I have yourself a
great first weekend of summer.
Speaker 2 (19:46):

of stuff coming back here Monday on the morning.

a way to make a living. Thousand dollars every time
we do it? Nine to five k nine ka day payday.
I like it.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I wish I was getting a thousand dollars too. Goodness, gracious,
well you can get it. We can't because we work here,
and we also can't win the Thomas Rehdd tickets. This
I don't know this to be a fact, but if
it's not our last pair, I'd be very shocked. I
thought today was going to be the last pair. Then
we got an update. We have another pair for Monday.
So for those of you want to go see Thomas
(00:46):
Rhett Thursday night, Credit One Stadium in Charleston. What I
believe will be the final pair of tickets for what
you're talking about coming down Monday morning, six thirty. The

is ultimate First World Absolutely, It's got every possible a
(03:59):
man luxury available to them. Vietnam does not have that.
Why why why not? I don't Why does it things that.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
They're wiling themselves up from the bootstress but they're not
there yet?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Why are some parts of the world there's not even cars?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Oh you think about some parts of the world, like, yeah,
I donate to I forgot what the charity, what the
church driven charity is, But they dig whales. Sure, there
are places in the country where people don't even have
a well.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Well, what's his name, The late Great Sam Kinnison would say,
stop doing that.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
You gotta move. You see what this is sand. You
know it's gonna you know, it's gonna be a thousand
years from now. Sand.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Nothing grows here.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Move closer to the food. It was the same thing here
in South Carolina've been telling people forever, move out of
the Corridor shame. Move, move to where the grocery stores are,
Move to where the jobs are.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
That's a little bit harder to do. I guess you.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Can commute to the farm jobs in the Corridor of Shame.
You don't have to live there. You could live thirty
miles away and still commute the end of the morning.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Well possibly so. In the meantime, Jonathan, I know we've
got a lot of people going to want to make
some summer vacation plans. I got a new report out
this morning, The twenty twenty five air hacks report has arived.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I have no idea what that means.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
This is how to get the best in flights?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Oh gotcha? Okay, best day to.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Book a flight in twenty twenty five because this apparently
changes from year to year. So the best day to
book a flight is Sunday. Airfare is typically six percent
lower on domestic seventeen percent lower on international flights if
you book it on Sundays compared to booking on Monday.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Departure on Sunday, no booking, Oh, you just get online
and book it on a Sunday.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
You book it on a Sunday, you're going to get
a cheaper airfare.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
The cheapest month of the year to travel is August.
So I know a lot of people have traditionally said
I try to avoid summer travel, but it is forty
percent more expensive to travel believe it or not in
February and March than it is August. I have no
idea who's traveling in February and March rather than business people.
(06:20):
But August is the cheapest month of the year. Quietest
day to travel is Tuesday. Quietest month is February. Well,
probably because it's so damn expensive to travel by February.
Probably July is the busiest month of the year for
air traffic. The days to depart for the cheapest are
(06:41):
Saturdays and Thursdays.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Get ahead of the weekend by going on Thursday or
going the middle of the weekend on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
If you can fly on a Thursday instead of a Friday,
that can save you up to seventeen percent. Yes, that's
a huge deal. Morning flights are significantly less likely to
be canceled.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
My favorite time to fly Saturday morning, like five o'clock,
five or six am.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yep, the lowest rates of cancelations happened between nine am
and three pm. When you get to nine pm, you
have a fifty seven percent chance of a delay. Yes,
and it's oh my gosh, it's like you have a
better chance of actually being delayed than not being delayed.
And those nine o'clock departure flights and so anyway, those
(07:32):
are some of the hacks. You can read the rest
of them on the Morning Rest blog at ninety seven
five to b CS dot com. Maybe you've got some
tips that you can share for us. I just suffered
through a miserable trip back from d C last Saturday
or Sunday where sat on the tarmac forever.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
The hours Sunday.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
And here's the funny earlier, here's the funny thing. So
there was two flights from DC to Columbia. The first
I think was eleven am. The second one was I
think five pm. I chose the five pm flight, not
having read this report already. I chose the five pm
flight because I figured, well, Sunday, my wife doesn't want
(08:15):
to have to rush out. You know, if you got
to be to the airport, and these big city airports,
you got to be there no later than two hours
before the flight departure, because it takes at least an
hour to.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Get through sure the security.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
So if you get at eleven o'clock flight, that means
you got to be there by nine, which means you're
going to be have to check out of the hotel
by like eight thirty, which means that she's going to
have to be ready to go by the get up
at seven. Yeah, she's gonna have to get up at seven.
We're gonna be out late on Saturday night. She's gonna
feel rushed. This is an opportunity for her to sleep in.
We'll go to brunch, we'll explore a little bit of DC,
(08:49):
we'll catch a cab at about three in the afternoon.
It'll be perfect. Well, it was not perfect because it
was one problem after another, and we didn't get home
until almost. It was midnight and I should have taken
that eleven am flight.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, you got home later than I did, and I
was hung up in Atlanta in a three hour traffic jam,
and I still got home before you did.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I don't know me. Would I rather be stuck on
a tarmac or in a traffic jam? Now you weren't driving,
you were I thought Sally.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Sally was actually driving. So you're in the passenger seat,
so you can fart on the navigator. So I'm working
Ways and Google. I tell you right now, do not
trust Google. Doe. Siri will lie to you in a
damn minute. Well is an Apple product, That's right, Siri.
Doesn't Siri get lost on a one lane road. She
could get lost. Google is too many people using Google.
(09:45):
Everybody's already flooding that escape route. You got to use Waste.
And no matter what Ways tells you to do, do it.
If Waste says turn around and go back twenty miles,
do it, do it. Do it Unless Waste he tells
you to drive off the dock. So I learned a
long time ago because I said, that's stupid. Why would
(10:08):
I do that? Ways, Why would I trust you? Oh?
I tell you what, I'll trust you, and then I'll
delete you. I remember saying this out loud. I was
driving back from Nashville, SPA. I was coming through Knoxville,
and I trust the waves. And then when I when
I saw what was happening, and I drove past the
wreck on the other side of the interstate, and then
I got back on the other and I'm like, I
(10:28):
love this app. Ways is the best thing ever?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Well, and are you a good wayser? Meaning do you
actually put information into Yeah? See, I tried to do
that too. It's tough because I'm driving.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
You're gonna be part of the community. You gotta be
part of the community. You're not gonna be on the team.
You're just gonna be a parasite. Don't get on the
don't get on the app if you're just gonna suck
off of it.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
They always ask is the is the uh, you know,
accident reported ahead? Is the vehicle still on the side
of the road there?
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
And then sometimes I feel bad. I actually have a
bad feeling because I'm not seeing it. I'm not seeing it.
I'm not seeing it, and I want to hit the button.
Yes it's still there, don't hit it. Don't hit it.
And then all of a sudden, I see it. But
now the button has gone it.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
You got to hit it right right when you see it.
You got to hit it.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
You took it away too fast.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Well, at least you didn't say it wasn't there, because
it's still there. Yes, be a contributor, Be part of
the community. Be part of the tribe.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Police activity reported ahead.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
It's good. Trust the Ways. I should be the spokesperson
for Ways. There's nobody more committed to Ways than me.
So you even use it around town in Columbia because
you don't know what the hell is going to happen.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Oh that's true. You could just be driving across town.
You're in Forest Acres. You want to be in West Columbia.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Pops up Ways, Turn right, turn right, we're going We're going.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Up to northeast. Why would we do that? Because Way
said this.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Way said to trust me, do not. Sally won't trust me.
And I told her, I said, you're listening to Google.
You're going to screw up. Sure as hell will get
off and guess what everybody on the internet. People probably
got up from their home, got in the car and
drove there just to get in the mix of it.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
You have been a big I don't know, an evangelist
for Ways for many years now, and I'm now, I'm
just remembering a trip that I took with Angela, and
I wish I could remember where we were going, but
we were driving somewhere far away, and we had the
ways app on and it told me to get off
(12:29):
the highway, and Angela started like, that's stupid. We're like
one hundred miles from where we're going.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Why would we exit?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
The highway just says go, And so I said, look,
Jonathan says, listen to the way. So we got off
the exit. She's like, and she was getting very angry.
We're out in like a cornfield. We're in the middle
of nowhere in there. Yeah, come up to like that
four way stop where there's like why did they even
have a stop sign? There's nobody here, take a left,
and she's like, we are way off the beaten path.
(12:58):
And then somehow I have like maybe it was like
outside of it Land or something like one of those
news talk stations or something. And then then the report
started coming on major highway jam up on seventy five
overturned eighteen wheeler it's backed up thirty five miles in
counting or something like that. It was like we escaped hell.
(13:18):
We would have been in hell till like eight o'clock tonight.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Just Sally Ever starts complaining, I'll zoom out and I'll say, well,
there's something wrong with the innerting. Oh look at this.
Look at that ten miles ahead, there's like camels roaming wildly,
the wild camels. You don't know ways, ways, nos, trust
the ways always.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
And God bless the people who update the ways. Uh
so that we know about the accidents. All right, Jonathan,
reading from the email, I this is our moral dilemma
Monday question of the day. It seems like everybody has
a work spouse. I know, I have a work husband.
My husband has a work white. Everything is cool. But
(14:02):
this year for his birthday, his work wife bought him
a golf driver. I'm talking about a three hundred plus
dollar golf driver.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
They get very expensive.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Uh So that kind of like throws up a red
flag for me. It makes me pay attention, like, who
is this workwife of yours? Why would she spend three
hundred dollars on your birthday? Yeah, this seems very off
to me. I've never given a gift to any of
my friends that would cost three hundred dollars do Does
(14:35):
she have reason to suspect, at the very least that
this quote unquote work wife would like to have more
than just a working relationship with her husband, and perhaps
it's already crossed into that that arena. I would say,
typically women don't give gifts to try to impress men.
(14:58):
Men give gifts to try to impro women. If the
woman is buying a very expensive gift like that, then
to me, something's already happened.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Is that something that she hit the lottery and she's
rich beyond her wildest dreams and she can just throw
three hundred dollars away, or is it more likely that
there is some sort of I'm not saying that they've
they haven't necessarily physically crossed the line, but emotionally something
has happened. If last year's birthday gift was, you know,
(15:30):
a box of Girl Scout cookies or something, you know,
some sort of ten to fifteen dollars gift, and this
year's it's three hundred dollars, heck, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I came home and I have a three hundred dollar drive.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
If you're into golf. Maybe you're more of a fisherman.
I don't know other fishing rods that cost three four
hundred dollars. So you came home with a four hundred
dollars or three hundred dollars fishing ride, yeah, or something
that that woman would know. Jonathan Rush loves to do.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
And Sally said, what did you get that? And I said, well,
so it's so give it to me at the office.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yeah, sweet cheeks, donted to greased one Boulevard.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Christmas Birthday gift women. She gave you that.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
That's more expensive than the gift I got you. And
I've been your wife for decades.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh yeah, that would not go over.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
But is it a moral dilemma? I think it might be.
I hate to say that. I try to shy away
from this would sound.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Look at me and say, I know this is why.
And I knew this about you when I first met you.
Even people you know, they just work with you, They
just appreciate you so much because of just being around
you and working with you. I totally get it. That
was a great gift. I'm glad she gave you that.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I mean, let me kind of rephrase this a little bit.
If you were receiving a gift from a lady at
work and it was a very extravagant gift like that, yeah,
wouldn't you question it? Like I I mean if a
woman that I worked with or a man if tumblewe
if somebody you just gave me for some reason a
(17:11):
three hundred plus dollar gift out of like what why
are you doing this? I would be questioning male or female,
not because it's a sexual thing, just like why did
you spend so much money on my birthday gift? That
seems weird to me. But I'm also not a big
(17:31):
gift giver. I'm not the kind of person. That's not
my gift my spiritual love language. That's not my love
It is my wife's gift.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
It's not my love language.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
It's very frustrating for my wife because that is her
love language. And I'm not very good at giving gifts.
And I'm also not very good at receiving gifts. Like
I don't want anything.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
So most don't.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
So my wife has tried year after year to try
to get me stuff that I want. Yes, please please stop,
like I have Like so I was telling somebody about
the other day because they said, oh, have you tried
to such and such? Like my wife gave me those
like four years ago for my birthday. It's like these
I think you put like they look like ski goggles,
but you can't see out of them.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
There.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
They're supposed to relax your eyes. And then I've got
headphones like built into them and they massage your eyes
or whatever. And they're like two hundred dollars or something.
And she was so excited to give them to me,
and I was just I tried to put on that
fake like, oh, this is great. I've never used them.
I don't want to use them.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
This is good. All right, we'll talk about that Monday. Hey,
what's going on in your neighborhood? We should be talking about.
You know, how to reach out to us on social media.
You can also do that by email. I'm Rushi at
ninety seven five, couple you cost.
Speaker 2 (18:39):

winning the six thirty We got that last pair of
Thomas Red tickets. It's eight oh three ninety seven eight
ninet two sixty seven. If you're listing on the iHeartRadio
app it's a three.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
It says the same number no matter how you listen
to us.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah, I was just thinking, if you're out of state,
you might and uh, and maybe you don't even live here.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
And what about the people who we have not yet
done this? When are we gonna find out who got
the first new I don't even know what the new
area code is for Columbia.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I'm getting to meet anybody who's given me their number.
It'll be this new area gun.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Maybe maybe that'll be Tuesday's contest. Maybe that will be
tuesday's contest. I don't know what it is, but we'll
do a contest maybe on Tuesday, the first person to
call in with the new area code for Columbia.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Okay, we got that, do that as well. Hey, you
let us know. And Monday morning, six thirty. What you're
