Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Kelly Nash, Hey j Rush, Thank god it's Friday.
When we get back on Monday, we've got a pair
of tickets.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Is it a pair of four pack?

Speaker 3 (00:09):
No, it's a pair because we have four tickets. But
we're going to do a pair on Monday, and then
we're going to do a pair on Tuesday, and so yes,
you'll be sitting next to other winners.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Now, this will be a history making a week for
the Fireflies.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yeah, Thursday, September eleventh. It's the first time in the
Firefly's history that they get to host a playoff game,
and you'll be there for that historic moment. Who are
they playing? Like the Myrtle Beach Pelicans or something like that,
I believe. So as always, it's clicks for ticks. So
we put the word up and the answer that we
want on the Morning Rush blog at ninety seven to
five to bcs dot com. The word is I believe

(00:45):
it's pronounced a light.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
A light A l I t A l i g
h t oh A light it is. I know this word,
but it's I'm blanking out on it. Why do I
know this word? I know this word because somebody used
this word of the context on a TV show. I think,
did they really several months ago and I looked it

(01:09):
up because I'm like, what is that word that is used?
I can't remember what it was? Now tell me.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
It means it's an interesting uh to leave a convenience,
such as a bus or a taxi. So when you're
exiting the bus, rather than saying I'm exiting the bus,
I've alighted, I'm I'm not delighted.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
I've alighted. Yeah, oh, you're.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
About to alight the bus, which sounds like you're going
to set it on fire. But the big brains on
the bus would know. Don't be afraid. He's about to
alight the taxi or the train or the whatever the convenience.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Remember why it was I look this word up. You know,
I love words. I don't retain them very well, but
I have the memory of a goldfish.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Maybe you should see test your Uber driver next time.
Are lyft driver, I'm about to alight this.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
He's a moron. He wasn't listening to learn the meaning
of the word.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
You're uninformed RNA.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Well, anyway, that's the word of the day. What you're
talking about about six thirty ish is when we're going
to play that on Monday morning, and like we said,
it's playoff tickets for the Firefly again Thursday night, September eleventh,
So we're all very excited about that.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
And since the Morning Russia Regular Unconventional Conventionists will be
convening again on Monday, I know we're going to have
a moral dilemma.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
We always have moral dilemmas, Jonathan, and we've got a
Morning Russian Regular. He's got two kids about the same age,
both in their early teens, So I guess we've got
like a thirteen and a fifteen year old. One's a boy,
one's a girl. The girl has argued now that mom
is being unfair because mom gave them each a budget
for back to school shopping, and the budget's the same,

(02:56):
and that's unfair according to the girl.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Because given the same amount, it's unfair.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Because he doesn't have to buy makeup, he doesn't have
to buy more clothes, he doesn't need the same and
so the mom is like kind of thinking about throwing
the girl some more money. That's her moral dilemma. Do
I give the daughter more money because she is a girl,
and as a woman, I recognize that it is more
expensive to be a woman than it is to be

(03:25):
a man. But does he need a pair of Air
Jordan's and some blue jeans. He's fine, He's good to go.
He doesn't need makeup, he don't need lipstick, he doesn't
need eyeshadow and rouge and all these other things that
she needs to present herself properly to the high school kids.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Now, I'm not the attorney representing the young man, but.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Oh you want the young man is gonna he's gonna
lobby his protests.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
I've got I've got to I'm gonna spend all weekend
now coming up with ways to make a solid argument
against this. Although I know, practicality speaking, you walk into
the store to get things to prepare her for a
day of school, and she does more things she will
need to prepare. But does she get more money just
because she's a girl.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Now this goes against the I mean, you know, we've
heard the argument that that women make what is it, like,
eighty cents on the dollar?

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, and yet is it?

Speaker 3 (04:16):
I mean, so maybe you make up for it in
the school years when you get more money. The guys
only get eighty cents on the dollar. Further back to school, shopping.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
By the way, it's good. I always did like the joke.
It's not even a joke. It's just what some guy said.
If if women only make eighty percent of what men
pay and they do the same jobs, why doesn't a
company just only hire women?

Speaker 2 (04:38):
A solid art?

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Hey, two thousand college football fans were surveyed and they
all had to be fans of NCAA Division I teams. Okay,
if you go by conference, the SEC has the most
devoted fans. But even amongst the lesser than conferences like

(05:03):
Conference USA, forty seven percent of Conference USA fans say
they would be willing to pat or they would choose
to go to the college football game over their best
friend's wedding. Oh my word, now it's up to ninety
percent of SEC fans will skip the wedding to go

(05:24):
to the game.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
See now, I'm going to see this play out over
the weekend because this is the first home game for
the game Cocks Tomorrow night. There's a wedding tomorrow night.
Now I know, I know everybody who should be there.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
I can't wait to see what show off for this wedding.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Because I will immediately go to their Twitter feed or
whatever to see they see if they're.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
At the game.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Okay, the best traveled fans though, are the ACC. And
I don't know if it's because the ACC is spread
out further than the SEC, but the average season ticket
holder has traveled one thousand, one hundred and twenty five
miles per year to see games. The SEC is at
nine hundred and ninety one miles per year to see So, well,

(06:13):
you like to go on the road, but we're only
probably gonna go to Georgia. We might go to you know, Knoxville,
or we might go to Nashville for the ACC. But
I guess the ACC they're going to go a little bit.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
For the Clemson fans that drive all the way up
to not today.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
They'll go to Miami if they had absolutely they're going down.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
There's the game problem. Uh.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Then they got some examples of what did you do?
What did you do to support your favorite team?

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Is one guy?

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Now, this is an Indiana fan, for God's sakes, An
Indiana fan said, I had nothing but one ticket in
my pocket. I had no money, no ride. I stepped
out of my house in California and I hitched height
all my way back to Purdue to see the game.
I did not eat. I slept in the street, and

(06:57):
then I hitched hiked home.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
That's commitment that might be as whatever.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
This other guy said, I called the radio station one
hundred and three times before I won tickets, just sat
in front of his home.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
They're giving away tickets. That's just I'm gonna win. Let's see,
I'm trying to say this.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
One guy said, I drove fourteen hours straight in a
blizzard where they had actually shut down roads, and I
slept in my truck to watch my team play from
the nosebleed seats, and I missed a day's work for it.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Totally worth it. Wow.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
You know, I love college football, but I can't think
of any instance where I've given up something like that.
I'm certainly never hitchhiked anywhere period.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
I once lied to my entire family and friends to
get out of a wedding and then drove six hours
in order to go see my team play their rifle.
This other guy said, I sold the motorcycle I love
in exchange for a pair of tickets.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Oh my god. Wow, this is commitments.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
They want to see their favorite team. College football fans
are maybe more fanatical than NFL fans.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
I feel like I'm not even a fan now by comparison,
I haven't done anything so finger No, these people are
fuugh nattics.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
It was funny that I did hear. I'm trying to
remember who it was. It was an NFL player and
it wasn't a former game Cock, but he was a
former SEC player, and I just can't remember who it was.
But I saw him being interviewed and he's he's like in.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
The year three of his NFL career.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Right now, and he said, my advice to the college athletes,
enjoy it why you can, because you're not going to
get this kind of love in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
What you're going to.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Experience when you walk into you know, the Swamp or
Neeland or Williams Bryce or any of these types of stadiums.
First off, most people don't think realize. I didn't realize
when I was going to the you know, watch the Giants.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Giants.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
I think typically back when I was a kid, I
think it's still about the same. Now it's about sixty
thousand seats, so you're gonna increase that by another twenty thousand.
You're seeing like a twenty five percent size increase. Also,
on top of that, though the fans are louder. Not
only are they more of them screaming, but they are screaming.

(09:13):
Each individual is screaming louder. The passion is overwhelming, and
the marching bands and all that sort of stuff that
adds to the pageantry. You know who else I heard
Jerry Jones was talking about this, the owner of the Cowboys.
He said, one of the things I was trying to
do and I became the owner of the Cowboys was
implement some of the things that we used to do
because he played for Arkansas, some of the things that

(09:35):
Arkansas did. I noticed that even when Roger Staubach was
the quarterback and Tom Landry and they're winning the Super Bowl,
the passion was nowhere near what it was at an
Arkansas game. And part of it has to do with
pep rallies and all these other things that people can
build into those games. And so, yeah, we got something
special here in Columbia. We're very excited to have Gamecock

(09:56):
football return tomorrow. I know Clemson's excited to have the
well it's their second home game, but a win for
sure is I who are they playing they're thirty two
and a half point favorites tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
And they lost last week, so they go pour on
about forty forty eight.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
I mean, that's can they Can you beat a team
that bad? Do you leave your starters in when you're
up twenty eight because we haven't covered the spread yet.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
You gotta cover this.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
What if kid clubn it gets hurt when they're up
four touchdowns in the third quarter?

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Exactly? Dabo's gonna go back on the radio show.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Do you think you want to get a phone call
from Oh? What was that guy's name? I can't remember
his name. It was Tyler. I want a memory?

Speaker 1 (10:44):
You want Tyler from easily on the phone.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Oh I don't want that from Tyler.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Hey, all right, football fans, let's get into it ready,
get into the weekend. We'll be back Monday morning with
your chance to win. Yeah, you're gonna score on Monday
morning at six thirty. You can actually get a chance
to win those tickets online as well at ninety seventy
five WSS dot com with the contest page.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
I believe it'll be up shortly. I don't see it yet.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Eastern Corpin fans note that concert will be rescheduled. I'm
pretty sure that contest have been taken down. He had
a loss of a family member, so he will not
be in Bowman on the date originally proposed. That date
doesn't matter now, as if I could remember, because that
show has been postponed.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
But that's where Jonathan Rush is going to buy his
lottery take exactly.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Oh it's right, but maybe we get a big lottery winner.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Can you imagine if you came out of Williams Brice Stadium,
because you'll get out of there. What about eleven o'clock?
I'm assuming right seven thirty? Is it a seven thirty kick?
I forget seven or seven thirty? I think it's seven.
I think so it'd be about ten thirty when you
get out, you walk to your car.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
What times the drawing at eleven eleven?

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Remember you have to buy your ticket. I didn't even
know this till recently. They don't sell tickets between ten
and eleven. You have to buy your ticket before ten
o'clock Saturday night, So get it before the game absolutely,
because they cea saw ticket sales for about it for
exactly an hour before they do the drawing.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
I wonder if the VP station where we broadcast from
across the street on Williams. Brice sells lottery tickets. There's
usually in there anyway.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Everybody sells lottery tickets, especially now this week everybody sells them.
You can buy a lottery ticket at a funeral.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Do you still have to pay cash? Uh, that's a
good question.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
I remember the last time I bought a lottery ticket
was was years ago. They said I was like, I
went to put on my debit card or whatever, and
they're like, no, no, you need a cash.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
I know there's a law. I don't know if it's
going to effect yet. It would be to use your
debit card, not a credit card, but a debit card.
But I don't think that's an effect yet. You got
to have cat just take the cash in. It's get
the three dollar power I was counting it up today.
Last week when it was one point one billion or whatever,
there were if I remember correctly, there were fourteen people

(12:48):
across the country who bought a lottery ticket, but they
didn't spend the extra dollar for the power ball, I
mean for the power up, so they were actually like
five people that won two million, and there were fourteen
people that won a million, but they would have gotten
the extra million if they had spent the extra dollar.
So I always do the power up. If you're going

(13:09):
to spend two, then spend three.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
So three dollars investments for your shot at a couple
of million, possibly a couple of billion.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah, that's huge.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Would you be ticked.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
If you didn't get the billion because you're off by one?
You got the two million. I mean that feels good.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
But I'm and I got to ask a question too
of the South Carolina Lottery Commission. They could probably tell
me this. You know they changed the structure for the
mega millions. Yeah, so it's five dollars now for a
ticket period. Wow, you don't power it up. You used
to be able to do that. I think, you know,
it's just five bucks, but they gave you all these
different ways to win even more money. I think that

(13:48):
that marketing plan and that strategy has failed miserably. Oh
because five dollars for a lottery ticket. Eh.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
I was listening to a morning show yesterday one of
our sister stations, and the producer, a guy named Mucho Muccho,
hit a scratch off lottery ticket for one hundred grand.
So he just paid off his college debt.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
With it. That's all I did with it.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Quickly. What's going on in your neighborhood. You know how
to reach out to us. You can email us, you
can call us. Be sure and use this number eight
or three nine seven, eight ninety two sixty seven. When
we get back on Monday, your first chance to win,
say six thirty. Have a great weekend.
