Morning Rush another chance to win Zach Top tickets.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yeah, and you know, look, this is just the podcast talking.
This is not on the air, so we have a
little more transparency and maybe a little more fun here
on the podcast. So I'm excited because we've had again
all you have to do is read the answer right,
and we've had several callers really struggle with what I

(00:36):
had considered to be pretty pretty simple words. So tomorrow's
the answer. Well, I won't give you the answer first,
I'll give you the word okay, And I'm I'm gonna
get this wrong. I'm sure it's a German word. Maybe
you'll have a shot at this, maybe you'll be able
to pronounce it correctly. And I'm getting it wrong. Bill
Dunn's growman, build UN's growman.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
I'm gonna go with your pronunciation. My German heritage is
let me down with any kind of innate understanding.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
I didn't say it with enough anger, though, did I.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Build very unfortunate language?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
So what do you think building growsman means a brick layer?
You know, that's a great answer. It's not the answer,
but it's a great I mean you well, you come.
You are quick on your feet to come up with
these words definitions. The answer is and this is where
I think it might be interesting to hear what tomorrow.
And again I might not have any we might have

(01:32):
any issues tomorrow. But the answer is the words we're
looking for you to read in order a novel that
focuses on the growth of the protagonist from childhood to adulthood.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Why do you set up the one of Russian regulars
like this?

Speaker 2 (01:49):
I just cut and paste from Miriam. Okay, it's you know,
it's the dictionary. Folks. Should I say the star of
the book?

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Let's do that?

Speaker 2 (02:00):
The star of the book. It's a coming of age story.
That's basically what it is. It's a coming of age story,
but it's a building Glusman, And like you said, it's
for zach Top concert tickets to Cold Beer in Country
Music Tour comes to the Credit One Stadium on Friday night,
October twenty fourth. We not only have the answer, we
also have a link if you want to buy tickets

(02:21):
to that show. That's going to be a heck of
a night down in Charleston.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Cold beer in country music. Who could say a note
of that? The only thing missing or hot tots? You
had some hot tots to go with it. Now we're talking.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
That's that is a very Napoleon dynamite.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Speaking of which, have you ever been to home team barbecue?

Speaker 2 (02:42):
I have been, probably several years ago. Now I am
not a good judge because I do not like barbecue. Yeah,
I said it, all right.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Well, let me just say this for those of you
who don't like barbecue. I went there when it first
opened up, the one here in five Okay, Now I
am a barbecue and officiano. I was woefully unexcited. I'll
say about the entree I selected, all right, But recently
lisaid he was here for a Sunday and after church

(03:13):
he said, we got to go to hometown home team
And I'm like why, and he goes the tots with tots.
I said, are you kidding me? He said no, I said,
We're going to go there because they have tots. I
can get tots anywhere in the world like these and
get them out of Napoleon dynamite pocket. I'm telling you,

(03:35):
best tots have ever had in my life.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
What made them so special?

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Well, they you can get them all kind of different ways.
They were great.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
How did you get them?

Speaker 1 (03:45):
There's some type of sauce that they served with that
ask what their house sauces. It's incredible. I'm glad we
brought that up. I haven't been back. I'm going to
go back and get some more tots. But that's the
only thing missing to the cold beer in hot country
country music. Cold beer to her, I get that right.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, the cold beer in country music to her.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
They don't think missing her hot tots.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Make it a perfect night.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Well, by the way, don't don't order. You don't have
to order the extra side order. They give you food.
When you get the tots, they give you plenty. Okay, nice.
Did you see the video of the woman who would
not give up her seat for the crying kid? No?

Speaker 2 (04:30):
All right, So she's she's Brazilian, so some of this
is not in English. She's flying. I guess it's like
maybe a three hour flight. She's on something called g
O L Airlines, and she wanted that. The mother of
the crying child was asking, would you switch seats so

(04:55):
that my child can sit here next to me? And
she said no.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
She's seated between the mother and the child.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
She was, So the mom is sitting like on the end,
like in the aisle, yeah, on the end, and then
the child is sitting across from her on the in
the other Oh.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
She's saying it, would you switch seats with.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
That child so that my child can sit next to me?
And she said, no, I want this seat. This is
my pre arranged seat. Not moving. Well, it escalated a
little bit, not to the point of like fisticuffs or anything, okay,
but enough where another passenger filmed it on their phone

(05:36):
and then posted it like on their Facebook page or whatever,
and like, I can't believe this woman wouldn't give up
her seat for the crying baby, you know, not a baby,
but like like a five year old or whatever who
was upset that they weren't sitting with their mother, had
never flown before, and blah blah blah. Well, now that
woman is suing the person who posted it, really and

(05:59):
the airline. She says, she says, you it was your
duty to protect my privacy.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Oh, she's got a point here.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
And so she wants she's going like for millions, like
I'm everybody, everybody's getting taken the court. She says the
mother never filmed me, because that was the initial report
that the mom was the one who fiumd there. She's like,
it wasn't the mom.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
This is good, so does point? Yeah, she's got a point.
You're making me out to be the bad guy when
I simply didn't want to give up my seat for
some crime yapping kid. It's my seat. I bought it.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Even if I am the bad guy, if I yeah, even.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
If I'm making a poor decision. You totally put me
out there for the world. You didn't take me there.
I wasn't standing on a street corner. It's sit in
the public venue. I was in your airplane. Mmm, so
what about a customer?

Speaker 2 (06:49):
So what if I'm in Walmart and I'm dressed like
a buffoon, as the people of Walmart are known to do,
and somebody photographs me or.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Films surprise, we haven't read about a lawsuit like.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
That, and then they can they see Walmart.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
People of Walmart are very proud of that look. That's
why they were thankful for the exposure. I like it.
It looks hot.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Oh my gosh. All right, Jonathan. Every once in a while,
South Carolina makes the national news. I pray these young
ladies are not from South Carolina. We got I guess
three sisters, all right. They range in age. It looks

(07:34):
like I see one of them is twenty years old,
one's nineteen. I don't know how old the third one is,
but I'm gonna guess twenty one. So we got like
a nineteen, twenty and twenty one year old sisters.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Mom was busy for three years pumping out kids.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
They're at a place called Moonrakers in Beaufort. It's described
as a white tablecloth waterfront restaurant Moonrakers.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yes, interesting fazs.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
I don't know. But the TikTok video that they posted
of themselves, so they want this to be a warning
to I guess people in their age group.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
This is a public service.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
It could be conceeen as a public service. When you
see m K T in the price area on a menu,
everybody knew that, right. They didn't know that. They thought
One of them said, I thought it meant marked down.
I don't know where they would have got marked down from.

(08:36):
But they didn't consider the price. So they each got
the stake at market price, and so the bill again,
it's not to me and you not a crazy bill.
But to three basic teenagers, their one hundred and fifty
nine dollars and fourteen cent lunch shocked the crap out

(08:58):
of them. They thought it was going to be good.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
That's not the dinner cut. Yeah, there's the lunch.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
They thought they they each thought they were going to
pay fifteen or to twenty dollars, they said, is what
they had budgeted for their lunch. They end up calling
their grandfather, who gave his credit card over the phone
to the restaurant to pay the one hundred and sixty
dollars lunch tab. But MKT stumps them and they just
moved on and said, oh, it must mean mark down,

(09:25):
mark that's on sale KT. I don't know, but they
thought it was like I meant to sale or something.
Have you ever made a mistake like that? I mean,
obviously not that one, but you just confused and assumed something.
Whenever you assume, as Tony Randall taught us, you make
an ass of you and me. That's the word assuming.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Was it Tony Randall who first taught us out?

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah, I remember him doing it on a white board
with the black letters.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
So I do not remember that A S. S.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
U M E. And then he drew the line, you
make an ass out of you and me.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Interesting. I didn't realize it was Tony Randalls's credit.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yep, But yeah, assumptions can go horribly wrong, especially when
you're like twenty years old and you don't have a
lot of money that you can fall.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Back on trying to think when I assumed, interesting, I'm
going to ponder that one. And I've made mistakes by
ordering something I shouldn't have ordered.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Meaning just didn't taste good, or meaning well, you ordered
the wrong thing and you got a very expensive option.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
I still say I ordered the right thing, but they
sent the wrong thing. That's when I ordered the pound
of the half lobster. They got the two and a
half pounds two of those very pricey ooh at this
particular restaurant, unbelievably pricey.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yikes, yikes.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
But it's the first day you're on a date. You
can't say these are the wrong lobsters, These are not
the lobsters I'm looking for.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
You can't say that where's the discount lobsters? The skinny
ones you got like they maybe maybe like just past
the expiration date, and the lobsters back.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
There somebody try to tell me that today is someplace,
some grocery and trying to remember which one it was. Now,
maybe it was Loads Foods.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Now, I don't know what Loa's foods protocol is, So
I'm just saying what I've heard from somebody who worked
inside the grocery industry. The chickens you buy off the
rotisseri are the ones that they were about to expire
that they didn't sell out of the regular meat section,

(11:38):
the friar chickens in the light, the whole chickens. Yeah,
so before they just throw them away, they take them
over to the bakery and say, put these on the rotisseri,
one last shot, one last day and then so they
were about to throw them out, but they cooked them
up and served them to you instead.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
But they taste Greatfore they.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Would tell me that Loa's food says the best tasting.
Now maybe Loas doesn't do that. That's why they taste
good because they're fresher. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Look, if that's what the grocery stores are doing, I'm
not angry about it because I still love the rotisserie chickens.
I think they're great.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
I want to know what the hell we're doing with
chickens now? Because Gentry Poultry and Red Spring or Saluta,
it's between the two. I don't know where the what
their mailing address is. I think it's RealD Spring, the
best dressed chicken company. Gentry Poultry. They have the regular
sized chickens. I go to fresh Market and order and
get the skinless, boneless chicken breast. I swear that's a

(12:38):
turkey breast. That thing is huge. What do we feeding turkeys?
I mean chickens. There's signs of turkeys poor moans.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
I mean literally, I'm gonna start cutting them in half
before I grill them, because Sally never eats the entire thing.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
I was never like fifteen twenty years ago, people started
talking about organic or whatever, and I was like, whatevers.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
But that's the biggest ripple.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
But now I will go completely hormone free chickens. And
when you get a hormone free chicken and you look
at them, I buy them at like fresh Market, and
you're looking at the chicken breast and it's like three
inches like that's like, oh okay, that's an actual chicken.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Where am I not looking to get them at the
fresh market, because that's where I go to get the
other ones.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
I've always asked for the hormone free stuff and they've
got it.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
So and I've often said, try to find a smaller one.
My wife doesn't like those huge chicken. Nobody's ever said, hey,
why don't you get the hormone free?

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Maybe you got to come up to the one on
two notch. That's where I go. Huh, but I'll ask finally, Jonathan.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Today is July eighth, summer. I don't want to say
it's ending, because obviously we still have you know, what
about maybe five weeks left before school starts.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Six free weekend is going to be here in about
a month. So this August fifth. Somebody told me yesterday
their kid goes back to school August fifth.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Actually this is a mother. Okay, well I shouldn't say
her name. Well I gave you the first part. It
could have been Alessandra, could have been anyway, Allah says
to us, could have been an. My daughter said she
wants a job for summer, and I said great, and
she said she needs a cool job. And I'm like, fine,
she hasn't found one yet. I found a really cool

(14:24):
when I thought retail job that's near our house, has
great hours, doesn't have to work too late, and not
have to work too early. I showed it to her
and she said, yeah, but it's not cool.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Should I now just force my daughter to take a
job or do I let her continue the quote unquote search.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
It's kind of like the old job. I guess.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
I don't know. I want to be a model. I
don't know what they want to do. Something cool. I
want to be a I want to be a roadie
and a rock band for the summer.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Sally told me the other day everybody at whatever beach
when she was a kid, when a Myrtle Beach or
whatever the beach she went to, would you know, they
all wanted to be the ice cream girl.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
What does that mean? The ice cream? What is that?

Speaker 1 (15:07):
It's a pretty damn big cart this girl was pushing.
It's got the big beach tires of balloon looking tires.
Oh yeah, just pushing that thing down the beach at
North Litchfield where we were for the Fourth of July,
and it was windy the first time I saw her,
and the umbrella was about to blow off the top
of that.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
I got to bring that down.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
And it was blowing against her, and I'm like, why
didn't this girl smart enough to put the umbrella down
because that wind resistance is causing her to work harder
to push this thing.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
I bet she was pretty.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
So I started to go over to her the next
day because she was That's gonna say, sugar, if I
were you, I put a sale on that damn thing.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Only go in with the winds, not against attack back.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
You got a tack across the beach like a sailboat.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
But that would be a cool job, I guess, like
a lifeguard to that girl, the lifeguard job, that was
a great job.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
We've talked about that gosh, if I could turn them
out in the hands of time and spend one more
summer at the pool.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
But that's her question. Should I just force my daughter
to take a job?

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Well, I'll tell you my cousin had had the not
cool job. He worked at the Red and White as
a bag boy. But he made a whole lot more
money than I made, and he got tips.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
The unglamorous professions like the plumbers. Those people are raking
in the dough. Absolutely, But you know, I think I
would force my daughter to take the job, right now, yeah,
I would say.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
You want you to look, it's about your kid having
the responsibility of a job. We're not trying to fit
your kid for a job for life. This is not
a you want to make it painful as a matter
of fact, if possible.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Well, I don't know if I want to go that
far with it. But you know, like, and I think
a lot of people do not have careers, and that's fine.
You have a job, and that's okay. You're not thrilled
with it, but you just you kind of your way
through it. Other people choose to try to pursue a career.

(17:14):
But when you're pursuing a career or if you just
have a job, you always have to start at the bottom.
Every job sucks at the beginning. That's just the way
jobs work. You don't walk in as the vice president.
You walk in as the mailroom guy or girl, and
you work your way up.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
I've never had this conversation with myself, meaning I haven't
sit and contemplated this in a dark room or looking
in a mirror. But I got into a conversation the
other day with the guy who makes a really good
point about work. He said, you know, the old day
at it about find a job you love and you'll
never work a day in your life, which is kind

(17:57):
of where I fall in sure, he said, that is
the biggest piece of bs anybody's ever told a working
man in America. Okay, now he's got my interest. He said.
Here's why. If you go to work just to go
to work, the only reason you're there is to work,
you're trading hours, and then you realize this is going

(18:22):
to get me nowhere. Then you start finding the job
that's going to pay you residual or commission, and then
you start really maximizing your potential to make money, because
you're going to hit a point in your life even
with your job. And I haven't hit this point yet
where even if you love doing it, you'll be tired
of doing it and you want to go ahead and retire,
but you can at fifty. But if you go to

(18:44):
work to make money, and your objective is just to
work for money, the most money possible, and you switch
jobs whenever you find another one that pays you more money,
the only thing you're looking at is your paycheck. That's
all you want. You go through twenty twenty five years
of that if that's your focus. You retire at forty five, well,

(19:09):
you'd have to have a pretty good argument.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
You'd have to have a pretty unique maybe skill set,
I mean, because you just can't hard work your way
to riches. You can't like I mean, I just can't
go out and dig ditches and be like the best
ditch digger in the world, or a roofer or you're
gonna have to figure out how to own the roofing company.

(19:32):
You're gonna have to figure out a way in order
to retire at an early age or be independently wealthy.
I think you know the point of you cannot unless
you're in a like a like a I don't know,
music or athletics, where there is some some very few,

(19:54):
but some who can make millions per hour or hundreds
of thousands of dollars per hour. Sure, but even most
musicians and athletes professional athletes don't. I would venture a
guess if you took out the top one percent of
professional athletes, the median income is going to be like
seventy grand a year. You just okay, because he's a

(20:16):
minor league baseball player, he's a professional volleyball player, you know,
top league volleyball player. What do they make one hundred
and fifty two hundred grand a year.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
And they can do it for ten years and then
they're thirty and it's over. It's it's tough. But if
your only goal in life is to make money, I
think that would be a brutal existence.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
That's what you're saying. You'd have to kind of cut off.
That actually plays in your favors what he says. But
you hate it. You hate you have to go to work.
You're working for the day, you don't have to go
to work. Yeah, it seems like a long twenty twenty
five years, That's.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
What I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
And he had a good point.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
I guess, I guess you could. I mean you could
do that. I mean, what was it the it's not
thinking grow Rich. It's one of those like Napoleon Hill
type of authors. Maybe it was the power of positive
thinking or something like that, although this quote doesn't seem
like it would come from either one of those books.
Probably thinking Grow Rich, now that I think about it,
it was one of these types of people back in

(21:24):
like the thirties who was writing these books and they
were saying for men, and again, if we're going back
to the thirties. That's mostly who was going into industry
would have been young men. And he was making the
point that you have all this there's no other way
to say it. You have sexual energy that you really

(21:45):
start at about sixteen. If you can take that energy
and divert it from females and put it towards your career,
by the time you're like twenty eight twenty nine, you're
going to be so far ahead of everybody body else
that you can just then you can just date whoever
you want. You can do whatever you want, because that's

(22:06):
going to be your prime earning years sixteen to twenty eight.
You're going to knock out in twelve years, a lifetime
of something that a forty or fifty year old man
could not accomplish in twenty years. He couldn't do what
you're going to do in twelve because you have so
much energy. You can stay up so late, you can.

(22:27):
But most people, men particularly, they spend that twelve years
chasing girls. They just waste it. They waste all that energy.
I'm one of them. I tinkled it away. I accomplished
nothing with my young energy. Wish i'd read that book.
I don't know if would changed anything. You read it

(22:49):
when you're twelve and you're thinking, I don't know what
he's talking about, and then around fifteen you go, I
think I know what he's talking about. This energy. I
never had this before.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
You know, there really is a list of about five
books that every American should have to read while they're
in school. Lee over the summer. I saw him over
the summer because he brought it to the beach, win
friends and influence people.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Great book book.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Was published, and when nineteen twenty.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Eight Carnegie Dale Carnegie r Yeah means a wonderful book.
And I mean and all of the rules are applicable.
They'll be applicable in one hundred years when AI is
ruling all of us, the things that Dale Carnegie taught
you in nineteen twenty eight will still be applicable. So, yeah,

(23:35):
great books. What's the matter? I need help, one of
the Russian regulars. I have tried toothpicks, okay, to brush okay.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
I've even tried against every person on the internet who
tells you except for one guy. I've tried a paper clip.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
I'm trying to get whatever lent or whatever is built
up inside my charge report of my iPhone cleared, so
my charger will go in all the way. Oh, because
right now I gotta I gotta put it, jiggle it
just right for it to charge. My phone was just ringing.
It just went out and I got it charging. But
it's not charging. And I bought yesterday the canned air,

(24:18):
not the contact cleaner. That's different. Contact cleaner is liquid
in it. He's supposed to use canned air because it
has no liquid.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Help me, I'm gonna ask a question. Is there Have
you tried multiple chargers?

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Yes? Okay, so we all do the same thing. So
is there And I know it's something in there because
I'll be in my car and I'll have it charged
and I've got to hold it and look at it
and make sure the little lightning bolt is populating so
it's charging. And as I'm holding it, the charger connection
will fall out because it's not going all the way in.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
There's a possibility, I mean, I would take it to
the store. Don't don't trust me, but there's a possibility.
I had a phone that had that issue, and they
told me that I had somehow damaged that little thing,
and so it became like just enough loose that in
order to charge it, I had to hold it. You
can still keep that phone if you want, just you

(25:14):
got to hold it. And that like that was before
you had the ability to just drop it on a charger.
You know what do they call it contact lists or whatever? Charging?
Maybe you have to go to a contactless charger for
your phone.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
It doesn't phone anyway, But I just I like my phone.
I like the size of my phone. They don't make
that size phone anymore.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Was it like an iPhone? Yeah, like a seven or something.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
It's the se model, slightly smaller. It's in your pocket.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Well, you remember, I was just thinking about this the
other day. The what was the movie where he uh, gosh, well,
I'm drawing a blank on everything now. The name of
the movie, the name of the guy, uh giving us
a whole lot of Workland Okay, Zoolander the movie that
came what like early two thousands, and the trend at
that time amongst phones in order to be cool was

(26:07):
smaller and smaller, and so Zudlander in the movie has
got a phone that's about an inch big, and he's
just trying to hold it up to his ears to say, hell,
are you he is? And then it all changed when
the iPhone started coming out and we started growing them
bigger and bigger. But everything moves on a pendulum, So
perhaps you and others are demanding we want smaller and

(26:31):
smaller phones. Maybe that'll come back.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
I remember I had a very small one that was
so small headed my pocket, my shirt pocket.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Okay, I lost it, you lost it.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
I just I guess, I don't know. Went over to
pick something up and it fell out. Didn't even notice
because so light, you don't even notice it. It's gone.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
I was talking to a guy yesterday, Mark Coleman, general
manager over at j T Skia and Northeast, and he
was telling me about when he was a kid he
went to Myrtle Beach for like it was a long time,
like three weeks. He was at Myrtle Peach. Now he
lives in Columbia, always lived here, but he had like
three weeks that he could spend down there. And he
was like eighteen years old.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
And he was working and he was making money and
he somehow ends up in a mall or something and
the guy in the mall sweet talks him into buying
a cell phone. He's like, I already got a pager.
He had a pager, but he wanted to be really cool,
so he wanted to get a cell phone. So he

(27:30):
said to the guy, does this work in Colombia? I
know it's got an eight four to three number if
I buy it here, but will this work when I
go home to Columbia. Absolutely had to work in Columbia.
It did work in Columbia, but it was always in
roaming mode, and so he was like, I didn't even
think about this. He says. They start charging you as

(27:52):
soon as you hit send, and he was like, and
it would roam for about a minute, which was like
a dollar fifty a minute. He's like, so I'd make
a three minute phone called it cost me like five bucks.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yes, that's right because the original cell phones area code
with cause we had roaming, so the area code was
very important.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
Yeah, everything was crazy back then. I mean the text
messages were I think you got like fifty for the month,
and then it was like a quarter a text, and
people would send you a text, like when you were
over and somebody would send you a text. And by
the way, it took forever to type anything because you
had to use the keyboard, so you had to go
like you know you had to hit that three yeah,
three times to get to the C or whatever, and

(28:36):
they would just send you a text and said sup
up and I wanted to cause it. Stop texting. That
cost me a quarter and then they would respond like
you didn't respond quick enough to be like where are
you at? That's I'm fifty cents in now. Only text
if it's an emergency after about the twentieth of the month,

(28:56):
because I'm over.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
I'm over. People have no idea what you're talking about
with long distance charges. I was watching the movie Oh
give me long Distance?

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yes, yeah, Can I make a long distance call? You
would hear that in the movie, right, Can I make
a long distance call? My mother would prep me, and
I was calling my aunt and uncle in California. Here's
what you're gonna say. You can tell them about today's
Little League game, how you did on your bath test
and you got to get off in like less than
one hundred and twenty seconds because it's like four dollars
a minute or something.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
When the bankings amateur came in, it's a wonderful life.
We're broke, well, I should be, no wonder when I
see when you accept reverse charges, on a long distance
phone call.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
That was probably like a four dollars phone call exactly.
