(00:44):
brought to you in part by sounding driving to the
South Carolina Department of Public Safety. Hey, let's talk about
some of the stuff we can talk about tomorrow on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Well, I don't know if we can do anything with
this one. I just find it fascinating. There's a whole
bunch of tips that Warren Buffett gives you in this
interview on how to a not waste money and b
become successful.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah, every dollar not spend is a dollar made. One
dollar actually equals two dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Most of these things would be things that I guess
your parents would have told you. Don't don't run up
credit card that by quantity or let's see unnecessary spending,
blah blah blah. Don't. He doesn't want you to buy
a new car. He says, try to get one that's
a couple of years old. He says, never pay full
price for anything if it's not on sale. I'm not interested.
(01:35):
Avoid regular nights out to eat in most of the time.
But here's the one that I thought was like wow.
Buffett recommends reading. He says I spend eighty to ninety
percent of my day reading. He says this helps me
avoid the temptation of going out and doing entertaining things
(01:57):
that would cost a lot of money, and it also
makes me a wiser person. He says, I read minimum
five hundred pages per day. That's like a whole book.
That's like if you sit down and read five hundred pages,
that's like an.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Entire that's a book a day.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
And he says investing in anything other than yourself writing
right now is a foolish strategy. So invest in yourself
by reading all the flipping time. That's pretty much his answer.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
You don't have to go to you won't be going
to the movies.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
No, you won't be going to the movies. You won't
be bogged down with Netflix, you won't be on your
social media. You will just be reading. I couldn't read
a book in a day, I don't think.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I wonder when he said five hutter pages. When you
take collectively the amount of stuff that we read, the
Lion's share from me plainly, like, ninety percent of the
things that I read are always just related to what
we're going to do in the year on this podcast
or the other, on this show or the other. I mean,
I'm just reading just all contemporary stuff. How about how
(03:07):
he pages a day? That is that I read?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
But he makes a distinction because he says the other
fifteen percent or so of his day is spent reading
financial reports.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
So he's talking about reading to generate or to gather
information to learn of the process.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, So the fifteen percent of the day where he's
just going through pages upon pages of financial reports, Yeah,
looking for companies to invest in the other eighty percent
of his day is read reading books.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
And that's why I was saying, I really don't read enough,
and I should read more of even if it's contemporary.
I should read other people's thoughts. There is a long
read though. My eyes get so stinking that I don't
know how he could read. He's like eighty something. How
is he reading all? I feel most guilty about it
(03:59):
when I'm reading the Bible. I'm Lord, why are your
words put me to sleep? Can't you make them like bigger?
Is that what it is?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I'm I strained my eyes all the time. I don't
and and then my wife has an argument with me
that it's that it's not really reading. If I'm listening
to a book on tape, I got all the exact
same information that you did. You read it in your
own voice, in your head. I heard somebody else read
it at the same pace in your head.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
And some people learn better audibly than they do by reading.
You know, everybody has a different way of learning.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Then there's other people who like John Fetterman, who can't
learn from reading or from hearing. He has to read
to read it. That's just one of the most bizarre
things I've ever heard of that he didn't understand spoke
You spoke to him, he didn't understand it. He had
to read it on a teleprompt.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Kelly, we don't have the challenges that he has. No,
my gosh, Thank the Lord, we don't exactly. He's rehabbing
very well. Good for he's speaking much better now. But
my dad and I got into a conversation yesterday because
he was frustrated with something a preacher had said about
the words mean something different now, and he's like, how
can it be mean? How does it mean different now?
(05:10):
It's in the Bible. And then we started talking about translations.
I'm like, you know, if you've got a translation that
was printed today, and I'm sure somewhere right now today
somebody's making a Biblical translation and they're putting it all
in text jargon. It's all acronyms and abbreviation.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Did Jesus used the pronoun him and his exactly? But
God the Father? Is God the Father his him? Or
is God the Father they them?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Or you know, think about the different acronyms you have
to come up with, Oh, my God, and how? And
then by the you couldn't even print it. You'd have
to publish it electronically. But because the acronyms, half of
them would have already changed definitions. I said, you know,
it was funny conversation we had yesterday about that.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Well, you know one of the stories that we're we're
going to address tomorrow. We have a morning Rusher regular
who's in the job interviewing process as we speak now.
He doesn't tell me what the job is, but he
says the job that I'm applying for would never wear
a tie. There's so maybe it's like being a DJ,
(06:19):
a machinist. He doesn't say. He just says that I
would never wear a tie. Nobody in that office wears
a tie or that place of employment, which would probably
be like a DJ like we. I guess at some
point I've seen photographs of DJs wearing ties in this fifties, sixties, Yeah,
but I have not seen since the seventies. It was
(06:39):
long haired hippie freaks on the radio in all formats.
So I don't believe at any point in my life
that I wear a tie to a job interview for
a radio station. However, I do remember my mother telling
me to wear a tie to a job interview for
a dishwasher's position. And I did, and I got the job.
(07:03):
And I don't know if the tie had any effect
on me going down there. But his wife tells him,
you're gonna blow your job interviews if you don't dress
in a coat and tie. And he's making the point
nobody's wearing a coat and tie there. She said, it
doesn't matter. You have to dress for success. Wear a
(07:24):
coat and tie. Now, who's right, Who's right?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
What's the old adage dress for the job you want?
Aspiring for a higher job than what I'm applying for.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I was gonna say, should I just wear my pajamas then,
because I just want to lay around.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
The house that's the job I want?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Or a pro golfer outshot.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Hey, by the way, do you ever drive anywhere in
your pajamas? No?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
No, I don't even I mean, I mean, now we're
getting into the I guess we're on the podcast. This
is even more of a truth tree and more behind
the curtain of the regular broadcast. I don't think I
would say this on the broadcast, but I usually don't
wear much to bed. We'll say that, all right.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I don't either but I do have pajamas, okay, for like,
if I'm gonna be like if we go are we're
gonna be like last night we had dinner, then I
got the dogs out. Dogs got to go out again.
But I'm getting out of all this I'm putting on
and I put on I've got three different seasonal weares
of game Cock pajamas. I'm not into the flannels for
The Winner yet, So I have my Game Chop Game
(08:31):
Co pajama bottoms on and like a T shirt.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So and Sally says, hey, you need to go get whatever.
Like the other night I had to go to Chick
fil A to pick up to go order.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
That's a drive through issue. So that's gonna be a
lot better than if you have to get.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Out, right. No, I'm not going to get out and
go in the grocery store. Yeah, but I see people
getting out going and I drove to the drive through
with my pajamas on. Yeah, and then somebody almost hit
me in traffic, and I'm like, I look like a moron.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Possibly, possibly, I don't know what these people. When I
see people in the grocery stores or whatever stores, and
sometimes it's the middle of the day. Like, I'm not
usually a late night person, so I'm I mean, I'm
not talking ten o'clock at night, and I'm talking six
o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
It was no weird things at weird times of the
day because we get up so early.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
But I'm talking like two in the afternoon. Yes, So
I'm in a I don't know, Walmart, target type of store,
and I'll see somebody in there with like pajamas, flip flops,
in a thin T shirt and maybe something on their head,
and I'm like, okay, if you're not dressed at this
(09:44):
point of the day, what time of the day does
does the unveiling happen? What time does the makeup go on?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
What time does that Maybe they work at a restaurant,
they only show up, It'll show up till four point thirty,
they opened at six or whatever. You know, you don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I don't know, but I'm just saying, it's two o'clock
in the afternoon. You're in the middle of the public
and you appear like almost unprepared to go to the
restroom like you. I don't know what in the worlds
two people are doing out there, But anyway, we'll get
back to that one talking should he wear a tie?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Do you wear a tie? You shouldn't wear it? That.
Do you dress? Do you dress like you? I mean
you dress with a job. You won't you dress for
the job you're applying for.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
To your point, if you're going to be a machinist,
do you wear the blue you know, the blue Dicky
shirt and the blue Dicky pants and show up like
I'm ready to go now, boss, put me on the line,
put me in coach, I'm ready to I'm ready to machine.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Okay, that's good, And.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
We have this story blows my mind and you can
read it and see it at ninety seven five WCOS
dot com. And when I say see it, I mean
see some of the videos that this woman has posted.
Uh she has an incredible story to me. Uh she has.
She's the mother of nine children, good lord. Melanie Kate
(11:00):
is her name. She lives in Alabama. Her oldest is nineteen,
her youngest is ten months, and now she homeschools all
of the children. Obviously the ten month old is not
in school yet. But she I mean, you want to
talk about my life as overwhelming, right, So this is
this is her life?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Right?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
So she comes up with life hacks, so she's also
on the top of all of that. She's a what
would they call them now? Content creator. She puts out
TikTok and Instagram and Facebook and all that sort of stuff,
videos showing you how she does certain things. This one
hack has blown my mind. I'm gonna read from Melanie's words,
(11:45):
I was very frustrated and concerned about my family during
the pandemic. I saw my kids and myself developing bad
habits that were convenient and easy for them. I was
afraid that if we didn't have a dramatic my family
was going to have a lifetime of diabetes and high
blood pressure. So how can I get everybody to eat healthier?
(12:11):
She said? I noticed that when we'd gone to restaurants
that had a salad bar, they often ate at the
salad bar. She convinced her husband to go drop thirteen
hundred dollars at a restaurant supply store and buy an
official salad bar, and they rebuilt their kitchen around the
salad idea, so, she says, and it's worked. Everyone in
(12:34):
the home is eating healthier now. The salad bar is
even easier for them to grab than a microwaveable meal.
Now when you look at it, I mean it's like
you're at insert name of restauran. I'm trying to remember,
like I haven't been to it. Yeah, I have a
minimum restaurant that has these types of salad bars, but
it's like the metal ones where the door kind of
(12:54):
comes up. Sure, and she says she has to do
it about one week. She'll put in veggies, healthy fats,
hard boiled eggs, turkey, and cheese. She shows herself like
slicing ham to put into this thing. She says, it
only costs about one hundred dollars a week to keep
that food fresh. One hundred dollars a week to feed nine. Well, no,
(13:16):
it'd be ten eleven, eleven eleven people. To me, this
is amazing.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
I always said that in my if I had ever
built a house, I'm one of the Bill Winds. So
I could have one of those Japanese.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Stough any Hana thiels, Yeah, one of.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Those cook surfaces, and I'd like to have like her.
She could sit all nine kids around that thing. And
then when you mom's cooking while we eating, or I'm cooking,
you're cooking the steak, cutting it up you know, everybody's
always wanted one of those. But this is even better.
The salabar idea is a great idea because you know,
(13:54):
like yesterday I was in the fresh market and they
have the salad bar. I's got all the like things
you would never buy. Okay, uh the uh whatever the
name of the olive is, and they have like different
cheeses in them and things like that. If you had
that in your house, you'd have healthy snacks all the time.
You'd never reach up for like popcorn or anything like that.
Just grab a couple of things off the salad bar.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I hate to say, I probably still would go for popcorn,
Oh would you? I'm not I'm that guy. If I
had popcorn in the house, I'll eat it. If I
have ice cream in the house, I'll eat it. If
I have cookies in the house, I'll eat it. And
then but if I have none of it, then I'll
eat the broccoli and you know, collid flower.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Okay, that's good, that's good.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
But do you have any other life hacks? Moms and
dads on how to get your kids?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Just having this conversation because I did not buy I
did not buy the peanut and m and ms. I
would always buy them for her. Okay, now, granted about
every other day, every third day, I would have a taste,
and I like, I tell you, like a little bit
of to taste. So I'd reach in and grab by
(14:57):
two or three of them.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
That did it.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
That did that was fine. But Sally she can't do that.
So she's like, you can't buy that. You can't buy this,
can't buy that, can't buy this. Mmm. Why the hell
do we have cabinets. There's nothing in there. Anyway, We're
going through this thing right now about how can we
eat more healthy because she's got to get the cholesterol down.
(15:21):
By the way, I just got my blood work done.
Thankfully she didn't ask me because my cholesterol is like perfect,
I'm just like lower, it's like it's borderline low.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I am not a doctor, so my advice should not
be treated as a doctor's and my situation may be
different than yours. I put all of that out there
to say that my doctor, just my doctor. Me one
on one relationship with my doctor, told me don't sweat
(15:53):
your cholesterol levels. Ever, he said, the reason that they
measure cholesterol levels is because estra has been shown to
cause blockages which then leads to heart attacks and strokes
and other things. But if you get a calcium test,
the calcium test will show you how much blockage you
(16:14):
already have. And so it's like one hundred means you're
all blocked up. Okay, zero means you have no blockages.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I definitely need to get a calcium test.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, I had one done when I was fifty i'll
say three fifty two something like that. I was at
like four percent. He was like, dude, you're never dying
of a heart attack. That's not going to kill you.
You can eat as much cholesterol as you want to.
Just lick cholesterol all day, get you a cholesterol on
a lollipop, because that's not what's going to do you
(16:46):
in You're not building any blockages. So when I have
high cholesterol doesn't even matter. We'll do another calcium test
in five years see where you're at. If it starts
to cause the blockages, we'll address it at that point.
But I'm like, so, why don't other people just do
the calcium test, And he's like, because they like to
sell cholesterol medicine. Uh, that's the reason they like to
(17:08):
sell that stuff. So I don't know how true, any
of that is, But I just thought, maybe ask your doctor.
And Sally seems healthy as a horse.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
She is, but at cholesterol level is too high.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I had a friend who changed his diet because of
the cholesterol issue, lost a crapload of weight, right went
down to Like.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
That's the other thing too, she says, we got we
both had to lose, like I put my eight pounds
back on, lose that.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
It's funny how when you put on weight it's all
of a sudden, it's like a wee problem. The but
he ended up his cholesterol went up ten ten points
when he was on the low cholesterol diet. What yeah,
And the doctor's like, I don't really understand it. We
see this every now and again. People's bodies process food differently.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
And Kelly Wild tell you I'm not health paranoid. I don't.
You really don't give a rip, Just do not give
a crap. I mean, I'll eat it raw off the floor,
it doesn't matter. And you walk through a radiation fog
cloud whatever.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
You could literally spend the rest of your life eating
nabs fried chicken. I'm trying to think of some other
stuff that you'd have to have in there to make
you happy that maybe some Budweisers and Jack Daniels don't care.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Don't care anyway. Sally does everything right, and she's so
frustrated because she can't lose these few pounds. And I'm like, Sugar,
we're eating as clean as we can. We literally have
a salad. Sally has oil and vinegar on a salad
with a piece of grilled chicken, and then another vegetable
(18:51):
could be squashed, could be broccoli, could be whatever we're
gonna have to lose that clearly steamed, it's barely cooked.
I'm almost snacking on raw all vegetables over here at dinner.
It just so she can get a cholesterol level down
jovin or nuts. I need to get the calcium test
for her.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I her to take the calcium test.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Gotta get it.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Yeah, I mean it's a it's a from what I
remember again, I was done like four or five years ago,
but it was like a pretty extensive test where you're
going to be in there for like a couple hours.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
There's a doctor who I love. He's in Clinton. His
name's Gonna, his name is Charlie, and he runs a
place called Specialized Nutrition. And I got turned on to
this guy because David at one point was going to
lose his reb Are they going to take out him?
It's gall bladder And we ended up going to see
a nutritionalist. He's a nutritionalist, and we go to see
this guy and he does he doesn't do this particular
(19:42):
test at his facility, but they take a blood test
temple and they send it off and you get this
book back. I'm telling you it's it's it's like a
damn Old Sears and Robot catalog. It's got to break
down there. And one of the things that I got
to go do this again in October because it's been
a year. The only the only time I looked at something.
I didn't even read the book. I didn't care. I don't
(20:03):
I don't care. Am I alive? Yes? I got a pulse. Okay,
forget it, throw the book away. But Sally wanted me
to get it done. But Janey had said something to
me that that piqued my interest. She said because she
saw me eating on the salad I had every night
she saw me when I was she was here for
a week. I had telapia two nights out of like
three nights out of the five, I was on a
telapia kick and she said you got to stop eating that.
(20:27):
I'm like, why, she said, too much mercury. Whatever, I'll
dip it mercury. I don't care.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
So look at thermometer on it like a condiment.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
When I got the book, I'm looking specifically for the
blood tests for the mercury thing, and I'm looking at
all my levels that they could kind of chart. You know,
it's this long. I'm looking at all my levels. You know,
I'm right in the middle, right in the middle, mercury
boom off of the chart. It's like six thousand percent.
I'm nearly magnetic over here.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Did the guys tell you anything about it?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Like?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Does he? Did he be a console and say.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
We talked about it. He said, yeah, if you've been
eating a lot of tilapia, back off of that.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
What is the negative results of having too much mercury?
Did he say?
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I didn't ask him. Again, I don't care, but I thought, okay,
I have not had a piece of telapia since that report.
I've not eaten any. And now I'm finding out tilapia
is not even a natural fish. It's some kind of
cross breed thing. Oh, it's raised by a bunch of
Chinese and they raised them in unhealthy conditions on farms.
(21:30):
So it sounds like a really nasty thing I'm putting
in my mouth, which it kind of like reminds me
of like when I accidentally had kalmanour, a big chunk
of calmadour in my mouth, which I gotta admit, you
got it in your mouth? What's it taste like? It's
a little saltier than you might imagine, and then you
just spit it out like a lot of the bacca.
But I can't wait to get the blood test done
(21:54):
again so I can see my mercury level, see if
it's really come down. If it hasn't come down, I'm
back on the to lopy it.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
I'm back on the freak fish.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
From I'm getting you know what it is. I had
too much caffeine. Do I concern myself about caffeine? Don't
give it amn?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Are there any things that you do concern yourself with?
Very few?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Very few? Hey, I'm sorry, I just got all wound
up for no reason. We've done life that. We're talking health.
It's right, Hey, more health talk tomorrow in the morning.
West people turn to West for health advice.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Well, I do like the idea like this mom has
an I've heard a lot of tips and I'm hoping
it we'll get some more. Remember, like years ago, there
was like a big trend about trying to what were
they doing. They were like disguising the vegetables. They were
trying to make them look like something, or they'd put
them in something and then get the kids to eat
them that way. What hacks are working? Because that is
(22:50):
a big problem I imagine for most parents right now.
Your kids are surrounded by so much processed food, so
much hormones in the in the products these days. I
did like the was it Chipotle or whoever had the billboard?
They're in forest acres for a while. It has like
a kid who looks like he's obviously like four years old.
You know, his skin, his eyes, whatever, you can tell
(23:11):
he's a very young kid, but he's got like a
full beard. Yeah, Like, you don't want hormones in your food?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Come here, that's good. Hey, what's going on in your
What kind of tip you got for us? What kind
of hackey got for us? We deal so with some
of that and what's happening in your neighborhood. What's going on?
You're getting ready for football?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Is this?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Is this lib? We went for high school?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
You know I have. I don't want to make it
like a big deal, but I did resign my position,
so I am not doing the.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Not doing high school football this year again this season.
I love doing it, but it's a big time commitment.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
It is a time commitment.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Then it's and it blocks out like every other Friday
night for like three months.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yes, and my wife did not enjoy that.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I would do JV if they played on Thursday. Would
you will you go? I love doing stadium announcing and stuff.
I mean usually you get free concessions so I can
get all the cheeseburgers and hot dogs I want.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Oh, when I did it for Ridge View, they would
bring up to the press box like pizzas and sandwiches
and stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:14):

(00:44):
brought to you in part by sounding driving to the
South Carolina Department of Public Safety. Hey, let's talk about
some of the stuff we can talk about tomorrow on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Well, I don't know if we can do anything with
this one. I just find it fascinating. There's a whole
bunch of tips that Warren Buffett gives you in this
interview on how to a not waste money and b
become successful.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah, every dollar not spend is a dollar made. One
dollar actually equals two dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Most of these things would be things that I guess
your parents would have told you. Don't don't run up
credit card that by quantity or let's see unnecessary spending,
blah blah blah. Don't. He doesn't want you to buy
a new car. He says, try to get one that's
a couple of years old. He says, never pay full
price for anything if it's not on sale. I'm not interested.
(01:35):
Avoid regular nights out to eat in most of the time.
But here's the one that I thought was like wow.
Buffett recommends reading. He says I spend eighty to ninety
percent of my day reading. He says this helps me
avoid the temptation of going out and doing entertaining things
(01:57):
that would cost a lot of money, and it also
makes me a wiser person. He says, I read minimum
five hundred pages per day. That's like a whole book.
That's like if you sit down and read five hundred pages,
that's like an.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Entire that's a book a day.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
And he says investing in anything other than yourself writing
right now is a foolish strategy. So invest in yourself
by reading all the flipping time. That's pretty much his answer.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
You don't have to go to you won't be going
to the movies.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
No, you won't be going to the movies. You won't
be bogged down with Netflix, you won't be on your
social media. You will just be reading. I couldn't read
a book in a day, I don't think.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I wonder when he said five hutter pages. When you
take collectively the amount of stuff that we read, the
Lion's share from me plainly, like, ninety percent of the
things that I read are always just related to what
we're going to do in the year on this podcast
or the other, on this show or the other. I mean,
I'm just reading just all contemporary stuff. How about how
(03:07):
he pages a day? That is that I read?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
But he makes a distinction because he says the other
fifteen percent or so of his day is spent reading
financial reports.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
So he's talking about reading to generate or to gather
information to learn of the process.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, So the fifteen percent of the day where he's
just going through pages upon pages of financial reports, Yeah,
looking for companies to invest in the other eighty percent
of his day is read reading books.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
And that's why I was saying, I really don't read enough,
and I should read more of even if it's contemporary.
I should read other people's thoughts. There is a long
read though. My eyes get so stinking that I don't
know how he could read. He's like eighty something. How
is he reading all? I feel most guilty about it
(03:59):
when I'm reading the Bible. I'm Lord, why are your
words put me to sleep? Can't you make them like bigger?
Is that what it is?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I'm I strained my eyes all the time. I don't
and and then my wife has an argument with me
that it's that it's not really reading. If I'm listening
to a book on tape, I got all the exact
same information that you did. You read it in your
own voice, in your head. I heard somebody else read
it at the same pace in your head.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
And some people learn better audibly than they do by reading.
You know, everybody has a different way of learning.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Then there's other people who like John Fetterman, who can't
learn from reading or from hearing. He has to read
to read it. That's just one of the most bizarre
things I've ever heard of that he didn't understand spoke
You spoke to him, he didn't understand it. He had
to read it on a teleprompt.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Kelly, we don't have the challenges that he has. No,
my gosh, Thank the Lord, we don't exactly. He's rehabbing
very well. Good for he's speaking much better now. But
my dad and I got into a conversation yesterday because
he was frustrated with something a preacher had said about
the words mean something different now, and he's like, how
can it be mean? How does it mean different now?
(05:10):
It's in the Bible. And then we started talking about translations.
I'm like, you know, if you've got a translation that
was printed today, and I'm sure somewhere right now today
somebody's making a Biblical translation and they're putting it all
in text jargon. It's all acronyms and abbreviation.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Did Jesus used the pronoun him and his exactly? But
God the Father? Is God the Father his him? Or
is God the Father they them?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Or you know, think about the different acronyms you have
to come up with, Oh, my God, and how? And
then by the you couldn't even print it. You'd have
to publish it electronically. But because the acronyms, half of
them would have already changed definitions. I said, you know,
it was funny conversation we had yesterday about that.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Well, you know one of the stories that we're we're
going to address tomorrow. We have a morning Rusher regular
who's in the job interviewing process as we speak now.
He doesn't tell me what the job is, but he
says the job that I'm applying for would never wear
a tie. There's so maybe it's like being a DJ,
(06:19):
a machinist. He doesn't say. He just says that I
would never wear a tie. Nobody in that office wears
a tie or that place of employment, which would probably
be like a DJ like we. I guess at some
point I've seen photographs of DJs wearing ties in this fifties, sixties, Yeah,
but I have not seen since the seventies. It was
(06:39):
long haired hippie freaks on the radio in all formats.
So I don't believe at any point in my life
that I wear a tie to a job interview for
a radio station. However, I do remember my mother telling
me to wear a tie to a job interview for
a dishwasher's position. And I did, and I got the job.
(07:03):
And I don't know if the tie had any effect
on me going down there. But his wife tells him,
you're gonna blow your job interviews if you don't dress
in a coat and tie. And he's making the point
nobody's wearing a coat and tie there. She said, it
doesn't matter. You have to dress for success. Wear a
(07:24):
coat and tie. Now, who's right, Who's right?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
What's the old adage dress for the job you want?
Aspiring for a higher job than what I'm applying for.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I was gonna say, should I just wear my pajamas then,
because I just want to lay around.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
The house that's the job I want?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Or a pro golfer outshot.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Hey, by the way, do you ever drive anywhere in
your pajamas? No?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
No, I don't even I mean, I mean, now we're
getting into the I guess we're on the podcast. This
is even more of a truth tree and more behind
the curtain of the regular broadcast. I don't think I
would say this on the broadcast, but I usually don't
wear much to bed. We'll say that, all right.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I don't either but I do have pajamas, okay, for like,
if I'm gonna be like if we go are we're
gonna be like last night we had dinner, then I
got the dogs out. Dogs got to go out again.
But I'm getting out of all this I'm putting on
and I put on I've got three different seasonal weares
of game Cock pajamas. I'm not into the flannels for
The Winner yet, So I have my Game Chop Game
(08:31):
Co pajama bottoms on and like a T shirt.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So and Sally says, hey, you need to go get whatever.
Like the other night I had to go to Chick
fil A to pick up to go order.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
That's a drive through issue. So that's gonna be a
lot better than if you have to get.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Out, right. No, I'm not going to get out and
go in the grocery store. Yeah, but I see people
getting out going and I drove to the drive through
with my pajamas on. Yeah, and then somebody almost hit
me in traffic, and I'm like, I look like a moron.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Possibly, possibly, I don't know what these people. When I
see people in the grocery stores or whatever stores, and
sometimes it's the middle of the day. Like, I'm not
usually a late night person, so I'm I mean, I'm
not talking ten o'clock at night, and I'm talking six
o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
It was no weird things at weird times of the
day because we get up so early.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
But I'm talking like two in the afternoon. Yes, So
I'm in a I don't know, Walmart, target type of store,
and I'll see somebody in there with like pajamas, flip flops,
in a thin T shirt and maybe something on their head,
and I'm like, okay, if you're not dressed at this
(09:44):
point of the day, what time of the day does
does the unveiling happen? What time does the makeup go on?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
What time does that Maybe they work at a restaurant,
they only show up, It'll show up till four point thirty,
they opened at six or whatever. You know, you don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I don't know, but I'm just saying, it's two o'clock
in the afternoon. You're in the middle of the public
and you appear like almost unprepared to go to the
restroom like you. I don't know what in the worlds
two people are doing out there, But anyway, we'll get
back to that one talking should he wear a tie?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Do you wear a tie? You shouldn't wear it? That.
Do you dress? Do you dress like you? I mean
you dress with a job. You won't you dress for
the job you're applying for.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
To your point, if you're going to be a machinist,
do you wear the blue you know, the blue Dicky
shirt and the blue Dicky pants and show up like
I'm ready to go now, boss, put me on the line,
put me in coach, I'm ready to I'm ready to machine.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Okay, that's good, And.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
We have this story blows my mind and you can
read it and see it at ninety seven five WCOS
dot com. And when I say see it, I mean
see some of the videos that this woman has posted.
Uh she has an incredible story to me. Uh she has.
She's the mother of nine children, good lord. Melanie Kate
(11:00):
is her name. She lives in Alabama. Her oldest is nineteen,
her youngest is ten months, and now she homeschools all
of the children. Obviously the ten month old is not
in school yet. But she I mean, you want to
talk about my life as overwhelming, right, So this is
this is her life?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Right?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
So she comes up with life hacks, so she's also
on the top of all of that. She's a what
would they call them now? Content creator. She puts out
TikTok and Instagram and Facebook and all that sort of stuff,
videos showing you how she does certain things. This one
hack has blown my mind. I'm gonna read from Melanie's words,
(11:45):
I was very frustrated and concerned about my family during
the pandemic. I saw my kids and myself developing bad
habits that were convenient and easy for them. I was
afraid that if we didn't have a dramatic my family
was going to have a lifetime of diabetes and high
blood pressure. So how can I get everybody to eat healthier?
(12:11):
She said? I noticed that when we'd gone to restaurants
that had a salad bar, they often ate at the
salad bar. She convinced her husband to go drop thirteen
hundred dollars at a restaurant supply store and buy an
official salad bar, and they rebuilt their kitchen around the
salad idea, so, she says, and it's worked. Everyone in
(12:34):
the home is eating healthier now. The salad bar is
even easier for them to grab than a microwaveable meal.
Now when you look at it, I mean it's like
you're at insert name of restauran. I'm trying to remember,
like I haven't been to it. Yeah, I have a
minimum restaurant that has these types of salad bars, but
it's like the metal ones where the door kind of
(12:54):
comes up. Sure, and she says she has to do
it about one week. She'll put in veggies, healthy fats,
hard boiled eggs, turkey, and cheese. She shows herself like
slicing ham to put into this thing. She says, it
only costs about one hundred dollars a week to keep
that food fresh. One hundred dollars a week to feed nine. Well, no,
(13:16):
it'd be ten eleven, eleven eleven people. To me, this
is amazing.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
I always said that in my if I had ever
built a house, I'm one of the Bill Winds. So
I could have one of those Japanese.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Stough any Hana thiels, Yeah, one of.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Those cook surfaces, and I'd like to have like her.
She could sit all nine kids around that thing. And
then when you mom's cooking while we eating, or I'm cooking,
you're cooking the steak, cutting it up you know, everybody's
always wanted one of those. But this is even better.
The salabar idea is a great idea because you know,
(13:54):
like yesterday I was in the fresh market and they
have the salad bar. I's got all the like things
you would never buy. Okay, uh the uh whatever the
name of the olive is, and they have like different
cheeses in them and things like that. If you had
that in your house, you'd have healthy snacks all the time.
You'd never reach up for like popcorn or anything like that.
Just grab a couple of things off the salad bar.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I hate to say, I probably still would go for popcorn,
Oh would you? I'm not I'm that guy. If I
had popcorn in the house, I'll eat it. If I
have ice cream in the house, I'll eat it. If
I have cookies in the house, I'll eat it. And
then but if I have none of it, then I'll
eat the broccoli and you know, collid flower.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Okay, that's good, that's good.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
But do you have any other life hacks? Moms and
dads on how to get your kids?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Just having this conversation because I did not buy I
did not buy the peanut and m and ms. I
would always buy them for her. Okay, now, granted about
every other day, every third day, I would have a taste,
and I like, I tell you, like a little bit
of to taste. So I'd reach in and grab by
(14:57):
two or three of them.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
That did it.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
That did that was fine. But Sally she can't do that.
So she's like, you can't buy that. You can't buy this,
can't buy that, can't buy this. Mmm. Why the hell
do we have cabinets. There's nothing in there. Anyway, We're
going through this thing right now about how can we
eat more healthy because she's got to get the cholesterol down.
(15:21):
By the way, I just got my blood work done.
Thankfully she didn't ask me because my cholesterol is like perfect,
I'm just like lower, it's like it's borderline low.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I am not a doctor, so my advice should not
be treated as a doctor's and my situation may be
different than yours. I put all of that out there
to say that my doctor, just my doctor. Me one
on one relationship with my doctor, told me don't sweat
(15:53):
your cholesterol levels. Ever, he said, the reason that they
measure cholesterol levels is because estra has been shown to
cause blockages which then leads to heart attacks and strokes
and other things. But if you get a calcium test,
the calcium test will show you how much blockage you
(16:14):
already have. And so it's like one hundred means you're
all blocked up. Okay, zero means you have no blockages.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I definitely need to get a calcium test.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, I had one done when I was fifty i'll
say three fifty two something like that. I was at
like four percent. He was like, dude, you're never dying
of a heart attack. That's not going to kill you.
You can eat as much cholesterol as you want to.
Just lick cholesterol all day, get you a cholesterol on
a lollipop, because that's not what's going to do you
(16:46):
in You're not building any blockages. So when I have
high cholesterol doesn't even matter. We'll do another calcium test
in five years see where you're at. If it starts
to cause the blockages, we'll address it at that point.
But I'm like, so, why don't other people just do
the calcium test, And he's like, because they like to
sell cholesterol medicine. Uh, that's the reason they like to
(17:08):
sell that stuff. So I don't know how true, any
of that is, But I just thought, maybe ask your doctor.
And Sally seems healthy as a horse.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
She is, but at cholesterol level is too high.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I had a friend who changed his diet because of
the cholesterol issue, lost a crapload of weight, right went
down to Like.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
That's the other thing too, she says, we got we
both had to lose, like I put my eight pounds
back on, lose that.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
It's funny how when you put on weight it's all
of a sudden, it's like a wee problem. The but
he ended up his cholesterol went up ten ten points
when he was on the low cholesterol diet. What yeah,
And the doctor's like, I don't really understand it. We
see this every now and again. People's bodies process food differently.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
And Kelly Wild tell you I'm not health paranoid. I don't.
You really don't give a rip, Just do not give
a crap. I mean, I'll eat it raw off the floor,
it doesn't matter. And you walk through a radiation fog
cloud whatever.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
You could literally spend the rest of your life eating
nabs fried chicken. I'm trying to think of some other
stuff that you'd have to have in there to make
you happy that maybe some Budweisers and Jack Daniels don't care.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Don't care anyway. Sally does everything right, and she's so
frustrated because she can't lose these few pounds. And I'm like, Sugar,
we're eating as clean as we can. We literally have
a salad. Sally has oil and vinegar on a salad
with a piece of grilled chicken, and then another vegetable
(18:51):
could be squashed, could be broccoli, could be whatever we're
gonna have to lose that clearly steamed, it's barely cooked.
I'm almost snacking on raw all vegetables over here at dinner.
It just so she can get a cholesterol level down
jovin or nuts. I need to get the calcium test
for her.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I her to take the calcium test.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Gotta get it.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Yeah, I mean it's a it's a from what I
remember again, I was done like four or five years ago,
but it was like a pretty extensive test where you're
going to be in there for like a couple hours.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
There's a doctor who I love. He's in Clinton. His
name's Gonna, his name is Charlie, and he runs a
place called Specialized Nutrition. And I got turned on to
this guy because David at one point was going to
lose his reb Are they going to take out him?
It's gall bladder And we ended up going to see
a nutritionalist. He's a nutritionalist, and we go to see
this guy and he does he doesn't do this particular
(19:42):
test at his facility, but they take a blood test
temple and they send it off and you get this
book back. I'm telling you it's it's it's like a
damn Old Sears and Robot catalog. It's got to break
down there. And one of the things that I got
to go do this again in October because it's been
a year. The only the only time I looked at something.
I didn't even read the book. I didn't care. I don't
(20:03):
I don't care. Am I alive? Yes? I got a pulse. Okay,
forget it, throw the book away. But Sally wanted me
to get it done. But Janey had said something to
me that that piqued my interest. She said because she
saw me eating on the salad I had every night
she saw me when I was she was here for
a week. I had telapia two nights out of like
three nights out of the five, I was on a
telapia kick and she said you got to stop eating that.
(20:27):
I'm like, why, she said, too much mercury. Whatever, I'll
dip it mercury. I don't care.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
So look at thermometer on it like a condiment.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
When I got the book, I'm looking specifically for the
blood tests for the mercury thing, and I'm looking at
all my levels that they could kind of chart. You know,
it's this long. I'm looking at all my levels. You know,
I'm right in the middle, right in the middle, mercury
boom off of the chart. It's like six thousand percent.
I'm nearly magnetic over here.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Did the guys tell you anything about it?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Like?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Does he? Did he be a console and say.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
We talked about it. He said, yeah, if you've been
eating a lot of tilapia, back off of that.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
What is the negative results of having too much mercury?
Did he say?
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I didn't ask him. Again, I don't care, but I thought, okay,
I have not had a piece of telapia since that report.
I've not eaten any. And now I'm finding out tilapia
is not even a natural fish. It's some kind of
cross breed thing. Oh, it's raised by a bunch of
Chinese and they raised them in unhealthy conditions on farms.
(21:30):
So it sounds like a really nasty thing I'm putting
in my mouth, which it kind of like reminds me
of like when I accidentally had kalmanour, a big chunk
of calmadour in my mouth, which I gotta admit, you
got it in your mouth? What's it taste like? It's
a little saltier than you might imagine, and then you
just spit it out like a lot of the bacca.
But I can't wait to get the blood test done
(21:54):
again so I can see my mercury level, see if
it's really come down. If it hasn't come down, I'm
back on the to lopy it.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
I'm back on the freak fish.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
From I'm getting you know what it is. I had
too much caffeine. Do I concern myself about caffeine? Don't
give it amn?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Are there any things that you do concern yourself with?
Very few?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Very few? Hey, I'm sorry, I just got all wound
up for no reason. We've done life that. We're talking health.
It's right, Hey, more health talk tomorrow in the morning.
West people turn to West for health advice.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Well, I do like the idea like this mom has
an I've heard a lot of tips and I'm hoping
it we'll get some more. Remember, like years ago, there
was like a big trend about trying to what were
they doing. They were like disguising the vegetables. They were
trying to make them look like something, or they'd put
them in something and then get the kids to eat
them that way. What hacks are working? Because that is
(22:50):
a big problem I imagine for most parents right now.
Your kids are surrounded by so much processed food, so
much hormones in the in the products these days. I
did like the was it Chipotle or whoever had the billboard?
They're in forest acres for a while. It has like
a kid who looks like he's obviously like four years old.
You know, his skin, his eyes, whatever, you can tell
(23:11):
he's a very young kid, but he's got like a
full beard. Yeah, Like, you don't want hormones in your food?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Come here, that's good. Hey, what's going on in your
What kind of tip you got for us? What kind
of hackey got for us? We deal so with some
of that and what's happening in your neighborhood. What's going on?
You're getting ready for football?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Is this?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Is this lib? We went for high school?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
You know I have. I don't want to make it
like a big deal, but I did resign my position,
so I am not doing the.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
