Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Killing Nash Hey, Jonathan Rush, Tomorrow show Today, Tomorrow's Wednesday,
hump Day thirtieth? Is that the last day of July?
Do we have thirty thirty one days in July?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
My gosh, and I can. Do you ever remember that
little line that everybody else seemingly could remember. I could
never get it straight.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
My rhyme says there are thirty one days in July,
just because I looked at my calendar. Gotcha, But I
don't remember thirty days past September or something.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Then we're going to kick into August. Then we hit
the dog days, and then we're not in the dog
days now? Now, dog days coming August? What? Yes?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I always thought that July was the hottest of the days.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I believe the dogs days of summer begin August seventh.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Let's look that up. Well, now this can't be right.
It says the Dog Days of Summer or July third
through August eleventh. Oh, now that's a Wikipedia page. Dog
days of Summer, according to is going to Wikipedia. Historically,
the period following the halacial rising of the Star system
serious known colloquially as the dog Star Oh.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I mean, let's see, I didn't even know that. Ah, well, no, wonder,
I thought wrong. I didn't even know the origin.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I thought we were talking about dogs panting, and we're
panting like a dog over here.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I heard somebody say something the other day, and I thought,
I wonder why we say that. Okay, let's let's keep
our shirts on around here. Do you know why they
say that?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
People used to take them off because they were well,
I would I know they tore their clothing when they
were in mourning, but they took them off. What to mean?
They were going to start a fight.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
They would take them off so they could fight, because
a shirt at that time was generally a very expensive
piece of clothing, kind of like you didn't want to
get it ripped.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Today, the ladies would say, let's keep our earrings on,
because the ladies always take their earrings off. Oh is
what you say?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
They start pulling the earrings off. Let's keep our shirts on?
Your shirt on?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
What? This is a very educational show?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I started. I love now to look up origins. I'll
hear a phrase that we've been using. I go, why
did we say that? We sound? Do we sound like
idiots when we say that? Are we even using it correctly?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I heard the Vice President of these United States yesterday, Yes, jd.
Vance was talking somewhere and somebody asked him about the
Cincinnati fight. And he's from Ohio, so he's a little
more vested in it maybe than the rest of us.
And he said something to the He used the word scumbag,
(02:45):
and he said and then he and he went back
and he wanted to make sure that you understood what
he said. He said, and these people are scumbags.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Uh uh.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
And I I don't think he knows what that is.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Don't look that one up.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
That's that's not a nice and I don't I don't
know that it's a derogatory term as much as we
make it out to be. It's a disgusting term. Maybe
that's what he means by you're a disgusting individual, because
nobody wants that.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, don't don't, don't don't do that.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
But the words comeback.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I forgot.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Somebody used it in a debate once, yes, and we
were like, golly.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
It's become modernized just to be like, you know, as
you say, just a word to describe someone as being
unpleasant or or beneath.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
You, or I mentioned I mentioned on the show this
morning that a doctor. Did I say he was a doctor, Yeah,
I did say he was a doctor, A doctor that
I played tennis with. Yes, last night there was some
thunder and lightning around and we weren't sure if we
were gonna be able to play. And he said, you know,
he was pointing out how ironic this is, because he
(03:54):
had just been interviewed by some local news outlets about
the lightning hitting at Lake Hurry on what appeared to
be a perfectly clear day. That's why it caught people
so off guard and many of them got sent to
the hospital. And he was saying that, you know, lightning
is nothing to fool around with. And sure you know
it can be two miles ahead of a storm. Is
when the lightning will begin as two miles before the
(04:16):
storm arrives. So it could be a perfectly clear day,
but the storm is two miles away and here comes the.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Lightning and perfectly clear day. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
And what was happening last night around at least northeast
and I think where you were in Forest Acres not
perfectly clear. No, a lot of overcasts, a lot of
like grumbling thunder, and we did see some flashes of lightning,
but we were having such a good time we didn't
want to stop playing, and so it would have been
ironic had he been injured a lightning strike. But anyway,
(04:44):
thankfully that didn't happen. But he told me that he
is always for some reason, one of his I don't
know what we you even call this. It's it's like
a crutch or whatever when some when he meets somebody new.
I want to his name, but his but he he says,
(05:05):
I don't know why he would say this, but he
always says, my initials are DTF. He says that those
are my you can call me DTF or my initials
or DTF or something like that. One of the new
interns at the hospital said, oh, bro, I wouldn't say that,
And he said why why not? And I was telling
(05:26):
my wife the story last night and she goes, he
tells people DTF and I said yeah. She goes, why
would he do that? Those are his initials And she
says that's disgusting. And I'm like, what, so you know
about it? The intern knew about it, Jonathan. Do you
know what DTF means? We'll just say down to do
(05:49):
something unseemly wow that if you put DTF in a message,
that's what it means. Apparently I never knew that.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I didn't know that the Dog days of Summer had
anything to do with it with a dog star. I
didn't know that taking our shirt off had something to
do with you know, antique fighting. There's so many things
to learn the origins of DTF. Don't use it unless
you mean it. We've got Americans, Jonathan on the on
(06:23):
the screens. The screen times have exploded. Remember when you
and I were kids and you were like your parents
would warn you you're sitting too close to the screen
or you're spending Even then, too much time was considered
a bad thing. Maybe you get what do you think
we we would get? I'm guessing maybe three hours on
(06:44):
a Saturday, because you get a couple hours or maybe
a little less than a couple hours to watch cartoons
before they.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Kicked you out.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
And then you'd get one or two shows at night
that you could watch heahaw, The Love Boat, something like that,
and then they'd say.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
That's enough of that about an hour.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, so maybe a couple hours on a Saturday or
a Sunday type of thing. You maybe get a little
more on a Sunday, because you got the football games
if you're gonna watch, and you might get.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
An hour after school if you're gonna watch a rerun.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, you're not getting anything before school usually.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
But you can't turn the television home before school.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
So I think that the average kid, I would say,
averaged two hours a day a ballpark on screen time,
and parents warned us about that. Then we got the Internet,
We got a whole bunch of things. Times have certainly
changed a lot since you and I were children. Now
in twenty twenty three, this is just two years ago.
(07:35):
Just two years ago, the average American, according to a
company called Optimum Telecommunications Company, they ran a survey, the
average Americans spent just under seven hours a day with
screen time. It was like two years ago today, twenty
(07:56):
twenty five.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Then the beginns eleven and a half.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
It's now over ten hours a day. Wow, it's over
ten hours a day. More than half of your waking
day is spent in front of a screen. About five
point four hours per day for the average American is
spent doing what they call the three bees, browsing, bills,
and buying. That's what we spend the majority of our
(08:21):
day just randomly browsing or paying bills or buying new
things to pay bills on. Also, people love to check
out social media. People love to.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I started the pull off the other day on the
side of the road and call a kid back. And
when I say calling back, I mean get out of
the car and go, hey, dumb ass, get over here.
He know, he's walking on the side of the road. Yeah,
in the grass. Okay. Now he does have shoes on,
(08:58):
that's good. And the reason I noticed his shoes there
were some stupid damn plastic whatever those shoes.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Are called, like crocs.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, okay, so he's wearing these stupid looking crocs. And
the reason that I noticed it is because he's got
his phone literally a foot in front of his face
and he stumbles. Now he's walking on the side of
the road where I'm coming towards him. I'm literally gonna
pass within two feet of this kid.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
You're gonna crush his skull like a watermelton exactly, and
then I'm gonna feel bad.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Oh now, I gotta put up with this crap. I
gotta stop my day and explain to an officer that
you're a dumb ass. Oh is that what I gotta do.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
You're not gonna feel bad, You're just gonna be inconvenienced.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
And then I think about Sally. If Sally were driving
and some kids stumbled out, now that would ruin her
for life. Sally would just be crushed by it for afternoon.
I feel bad for the afternoon. Then after the sun rises,
and like, you know something, Survival of the fittest before
we put guardrails on the even the the at the
bow Alex, before we put the guardrails up, this was
(10:03):
the way that God thinned out the population. You're too
stupid to live.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
We can't allow evolution to exist because we keep surviving
the stupid people.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
But I'm like, they can't even walk down the damn
road without looking at their phone.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
No, no, you can't. Well, if you got to get look,
if you got to get ten hours on, I mean
think about that. If you had to punch in for
ten hours, you got to do something that's a long time.
I mean, there's only fourteen more hours in the day,
and eight of them are supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Asleep, supposedly, so you can't sleep because you get that
phone in front of your face. It keeps you awake.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
It's funny when they ask them, like what's the number
one thing that people do? Or like I guess number
one or number two is like seventy nine percent, browsing,
seventy seven percent, paying bills seventy three percent, checking out
social media seventy two percent, shopping. Next in line, we
went from seventy thirty seven percent the next so a
huge drop off doing work assignments, that's correct, twenty percent schoolwork.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Does your screen usage on your phone pop up like
once a week and tell you what your usage was? Mine? Does?
I don't know what setting I have that it pops
up and tells me that. It typically does it on
a Sunday.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Oh really, I don't have that night.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
And it'll tell me what and it'll tell me whether
my screen usage was up or down. Okay, but my
usage is pretty high because I use my phone a
lot of times as a television. Because I'm not watching
it television anymore. You really don't have to watch it.
He just listens. It's like the radio. Okay, you listen
to it if you want to watch it. Okay, fine,
(11:41):
But when I'm doing stuff around the house, I got
my phone and listening to the news. As you know,
I am wont to do. I love listening to the
news channels, but that's screen time because it's on the screen,
and Sally will fuss at me about my screen time.
I might well just go click on it and look
at which apps I'm using, because it'll show the breakdown.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
If you can put Facebook down for a minute.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yeah, exactly, Sally.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Jonathan. The Internet's divided over a Kansas City chief fan
who is named his new daughter and it's a clever name.
So he wants to pay homage to some great chiefs.
His favorite chief, by the way of all time, is
(12:29):
Tony Gonzalez. I don't know if you remember Tony, a
Hall of Fame. Tight End had the honor of being
at a car opening. I opened up a car lot
in for some reason, Tony Gonzalez was booked to be there.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
It was in Long Island.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
He was like a.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Rookie with the Chiefs. It was very bizarre that they booked.
Maybe somebody in Long islandknew Tony and that's how it.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
But I met him.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I met him in like nineteen ninety five. Anyway, Tony
Gonzalez is this guy's favorite player, so he wanted to
do a homage to him, and he also wants to
get in Travis Kelsey, who is the current tight end
and will probably be a Hall of Famer as well, probably,
And he also figured, because it's a girl, I guess
I gotta get maybe a Taylor Swift tribute and all
of that. All that's rolling around in his noggin, right,
(13:16):
and he comes up with the name Kelsey. Taylor Grace
is the girl's name, and so her initials, we're going
to call her TG is what we're going to call
her for Taylor Grace. People are thinking. Some people think
it's awesome. Other people say, bro back off your Chiefs fandom.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
What say you? I'd say that's a bit much, that's
a bit much.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
It's not a bad name. Is do girls go by
the name Kelsey for a first name?
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I guess it. I think that's a bit much.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
And I would also point out that you should have
somehow figured out a way to get my homes in there,
because that's really why Travis Kelcey wouldn't even have a
shot at Taylor Swift if it isn't for Patrick Mahomes,
the greatest quarterback currently in the NFL, who could argue
that he would have been some run of the mill
tight end that.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I don't think you're a Chiefs fan at all. I
don't think you've ever watched the game.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
You don't even own anything red or yellow.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
No, I don't believe you understand at all what you've
just plainly missed by claiming to be something you plainly not.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Called their Patricia maybe instead of Patrick something like that.
We are going to do our what you're talking about
contest at six thirty to Field and Stream Music Festival Tickets,
three Day Festival, October third through the fifth, featuring Miranda Lambert.
Riley Green skinnered our reference to Zezy Top fell on
(14:42):
deaf Ears with this morning's winner, didn't understand what we
were talking about. And Eric Church, the headliner who's also
putting this whole thing together. This word is kind of
a word that you might be able to guess this
one even if you've never heard it. I don't know
that I've heard it. Calithump, calithump. Oh yeah, I know
(15:05):
a calithump. It's it's it's a loof.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
It's a dody dody dough, it's a it's a loof,
you're just a loof, You're you're you're a calithon. You're
just bouncing around, like probably walking two feet off the road,
looking at your phone instead of where you're going, wearing
some stupid looking crocs by to stumble into traffic. This
is how calithumps get thump dead calithump.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
So you didn't yell at him stop calithumping out there,
you lose her. Hey Anyway, the answer is actually what
you might be experiencing that weekend. A noisy or boisterous
band band.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, like, so there's actually a word to describe a
loud bad band.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Doesn't necessarily mean bad, just moisturous. Noisy doesn't sound noisy.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
What what band would you want to go see just
because they're noisy? I mean, sez top is lou You.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Were gonna say it's not noisy. Let me go look
up calithump and see if I get more details.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Out of the.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Calithump centers around loudness often a humorous event people causing
a ruckus. Calithumps were known for their unconventional, sometimes crude instruments,
pots and pans and tin horns.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
The pot and pan band.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
The Americans started using calithump in the ninth.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Censory calithump, a cacophony calithump, group of individuals.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Oftentimes, a calithump is used to describe a children's parade
of the fourth of July. I like it, sometimes a
more spontaneous, chaotic.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Event, but a no calithump. Schedule for the Field Stream
Music Festival.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Might not be scheduled, but you know you and your
your friends are on the campfire, might bust. Oh my gosh, yes,
get some pots and pans and a guitar. Let it have.
