Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Kelly Nash, Good morning, man. It seems like another
long week tomorrow with Friday. Thank god it's Friday. And
this is also your last opportunity to win them before
you can buy them, because they'll go on and sell.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Cody Johnson, tickets will
be available for purchase for a show at the Colonial
Life Arena.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
It's funny how when they start selling them, we stop
giving them. So our last chance for you to win
is tomorrow morning, about six point thirty. Get your tickets
for the February twenty eighth concert at the Colonial Life Arena.
And oh wait a second, I got the wrong one
up in front of me here, hang on, let me
go get the updated one. Hopefully I have it updated
(00:40):
over here, Jonathan, I just I just stumped myself. I
forgot what I had written, So now I got to
go all the way back to this and there it is. Okay,
the word of the day is I believe it's pronounced
now this is.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It can't be that way. I'll go with.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Jarrible, jarrible JAYI RB E l E, which I wanted
to say Gerbil, but obviously it's not Gerbil.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Just a member of the animal kingdom.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
It is not free. This is not a costume that
people would wear.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
A jyrable. Yes, I thought it might. It might have
been a distant cousin. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Well, it's actually a definition used and I don't know
why we needed this word. But the word is describes
spilling a liquid by the unsteady moving of a vessel.
So if you're on a train, a plane, you're in
a car, you have a liquid coffee, a soda, something
like that, and the vibration of the vehicle or the
(01:44):
sudden stop whatever, any of that unsteady movement makes the
liquid spill. That's called jarbl got it. You're right, I
don't know why we need a word for this. You
messed up my drink loser, right, But people came up
with words for it, so we've got them. So you
can sound smarter now, jarbl use it three times today
(02:06):
in a sentence. In a sentence, that'd be.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Hard to do it, jarble three times in a sec
would This one sounds nearly impossible to implement into my
regular conversations. It's not as.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Difficult as the impossible challenge, but it's it's right up there.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Good point.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
But Jarble's The definition is again on the Morning Russ
Blog tomorrow morning six thirty. Jonathan will give you an
opportunity to be a certain number caller with that answer.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
And I'm a big league. I'm just glad we're making
it easy to win Cody Johnson tickets because it has
been a tough couple of weeks here in the United
States and in South Carolina. Okay, been a tough couple
of weeks. I want to get into a political stop
and you just talk about game CP football. You want
to talk about Clemson football. I mean, we got things
have not been exactly running smoothly around here. I need
(02:52):
some good news, Kelly.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Could I tell you that today is National Cheeseburger Day?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
That would help.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I can tell you that we got a list now
of a lot of the restaurants. I'm sure there's probably
others that I'm missing, but like Waaburger, Smash Burger, Ruby, Tuesday's, McDonald's,
Burger King, those types of places, Hardy's, they're all running
cheeseburger specials today.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I'm gonna be honest with you. I've been to the
Waterburger and that one we've been waiting on for a
long time I have not been to the In and Out.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Okay, so I don't know. Maybe today's the day. I
didn't see the In and Out offering a special But
that's not to say that there's not one. And again,
I have a list of probably thirty or forty restaurants
that we've published for National Cheezburger Day. But get out
there and stuff. You're you know your your nick.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Hole well, and I'm looking for and I'm glad to
bump into conversations where people tell me about good things
that have happened to them. I witnessed one yesterday where
I was at a meeting for what Kelly's gonna be
involved in.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
As a competitor, I'll be the last place competitor.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I will be. I will be seeing and recreating as
much as possible. Who's the dude from Nathan's Hot Dog
Gating competition?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Oh, Joey Chestnut?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
No, No, the announcer, Oh, I don't know, the guy
who actually owns the event? I forgot no given to it,
but who can give credit to? But I will be
writing the introductions and announcing the competitors for the event.
As we get ready for the opening day of the
South Carolina State Fair. But I was able to witness
a lot of nonprofits in churches and organizations, and I
saw the some of the results of their hard work,
(04:21):
but also them being rewarded and given more money so
they can do more. I was very excited. That was
that was I saw about five or six victories. That's
what I call him. I saw five or six victories
for our community. That made me feel good, particularly given
as I mentioned in the past two weeks having to
do with news and social media videos and the like.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Well, that is good news. How about this story that
we have Jonathan on the Morning Rust blog? Are you
being undercharged? Are concert tickets actually too cheap? According to
Michael Rappino, and he is the CEO of Live Nation.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
He's not the brother of the SoC player.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
No, maybe he's related to hurt to him, what was
her name, Megan Rapina. I don't know if he is
or isn't, but this is Michael Rapino, and Michael says, quote,
concert tickets are too cheap. The average ticket price in
America is only seventy two dollars. Try going to see
a Lakers game for that, he said, seventy five percent
(05:22):
of our concert tickets are currently under one hundred dollars.
That's too cheap. Now you're giving me.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
That he's offended by this.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
He's offended by it. We need to do more to
raise those prices up. So obviously, every survey shown says
ticket prices are too expensive. Now again, using seventy two dollars,
he might have a point, not much of a point,
but a little bit of a point, because I will
say that when I looked up the average concert ticket
price for the year nineteen ninety, it was twenty nine
(05:53):
dollars in nineteen ninety. The buying power of twenty nine
dollars in nineteen ninety is in twenty twenty five dollars
seventy three dollars and seventy five cents.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
OK.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
So, he you're I guess you're being undercharged a dollar
seventy five at this point?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
What do you think of that? I don't I don't
know why this guy would come out with this unpopular
hot take of his, with the strong positioning that we're
not charging enough for concerts around here. Who does this
benefit him?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I think he's he's and he's pushing back on some
of the artists because there's a bunch of artists who
have come out and said, you know, Ticketmaster and Live
Nation and these outfits are overcharging for people to come
see us. And so I think he's trying to make
the point, Well, when you compare it to you know,
forty years ago, it's actually cheaper now.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Okay. I could hear him make the argument with different
words that what was used to describe that from the
article that you're representing. Yeah, that probably would be a
good idea. Why don't you couch that a little differently?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
What's the most you've ever paid for a concert ticket?
I can tell you the most I ever paid, and
I didn't even want to go see it was Madonna.
And I've told this story before. I paid three hundred
dollars a concert ticket to see Madonna. And this was
in two thousand and two and two thousand and one.
She was playing in Washington, DC, and I had promised
(07:20):
a guy I was a record guy at the time.
I was promising a program director. I was going to
get him into the concert with great seats, and I
messed up. I bought bulk tickets for other people in
my office, and then I, because I'm greedy, wanted to
make sure I had the best seats for myself, and
then I distributed the others to the others of my office.
And then I didn't know. I didn't think of this,
(07:44):
but there was two nights of the concert, and the
tickets that I took for myself for the great seats
were the Friday night Madonna concert and we were going
on Saturday. And when I got there and they scanned them,
they were like, these are for last night show. Oh no,
And so I was.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
And the guy insult to injury or injury to insult.
These tickets went unused.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And I don't want to say much about the fella,
but I will tell you this part of his personality,
which was consistent with his personality. He started crying. Yes,
he was crying at the gate to the MCI Center.
And I was like, don't worry about it, man, I
got this. This is not a big deal. And I
(08:27):
had no idea what I was going to do. He
was like, I said, let me just go make a call.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
That's not a problem.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
And I'm walking away and I can't even get my
phone to get cell service because this is, you know, again,
twenty years ago. You're inside an arena. It's impossible, and
so I've like, I just got to step outside to
make a call. So I don't know who I'm going
to call. Who could I possibly call? It's a sold
out concert that starts in ten minutes, Like what am
I going to do? So I see some guy selling
(08:52):
tickets on the street and I was just like, how much, bro?
And he says, I got two on the floor, six
hundred for the pay and I was like six hundred
dollars and.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
He's like, you could take it or not. Man, it's
up to you and your choice. This is America. You
must choose. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Now, I think the face value it wasn't a big
markup because he said I was selling these things for
one thousand dollars an hour ago.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
And so I lucky you came to me this close
to ring time.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, it was only ten minutes to the show, because
in fifteen twenty minutes, these tickets.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Are worth for us.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
So I ran across the street to an ATM, took
out six hundred bucks and paid this guy, and then
got my little crying friend into the arena to see
his favorite artist, Madonna.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I think if we adjusted for today's dollars, I way
overpaid for two tickets for Steel Wheels Rolling Stones at
Williamspice Stadium.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Okay, that's that's quite a while ago.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, yeah, I'm or it could just be the concert
was so bad. I felt so financially abused. Mick Jagger
for some reason, had decided they weren't gonna do any
of their hits. They were only going to play new
music off the Steel Wheels album, Kelly Kenny Sanwick, can
you name one one hit song by the Rolling Stones
(10:08):
off of Steel Wheels? The album?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Was there one called Steel Wheels?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Sure there was, but it wasn't a hit. It was
you had to wait for the entire first hour and
ten minute set to get to a song you were
familiar with.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
He wouldn't even give you any classics. I mean again,
nineteen was that ninety one or so?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Was steel Wheels? I mean he couldn't.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I mean, going back to start me up, that's only
like not even ten years earlier.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
It was awful. It was awful, quite frankly, the worst
concert I've ever been to in my life, and I've
been in some bad shows.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Have you ever wished you were somebody else? You ever
try to pretend to be somebody else? Are you ever
like act as if you were somebody else. We got
a man in Ohio who's been arrested twice now in
three years. He was arrested this week for using a
fad to try to enroll in high school. The people
(11:05):
at that school were able to detect it was a
fake ID and call it the authorities, and he was arrested.
Now it's the same man who in twenty twenty one
was arrested after tackling somebody and using handcuffs to cuff
them and letting everybody in the restaurant know that he
was a Franklin County police officer. No, that was not
(11:30):
true either. This guy, he's been arrested twice in like
three years now, faking to be somebody that he's not. Wow,
that is just an odd story.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
No, I have I don't think I've ever actually taken
on the identity of someone else.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
But have you ever how about this? Obviously not to
that extent, but people do like to fluff up their resumes,
so to speak, meaning they'll come in and say, well,
I was the vice president of whatever, or I was
the head of this, and then you meet somebody who
worked with him. They said they were the head. No,
(12:08):
they weren't. They were just like the rest of us.
I mean, we were all under sell and so.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Radio broadcastings filled with these characters.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I think it's pretty common in just the everyday world
that people want to exaggerate.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah, I'm sure that's true too.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
But I am concerned that the guy was trying to
enroll in high school. He's like twenty seven years old.
What are you doing, weirdo?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
He must have really thought he was gonna pull this.
Is this some kind of weird catch me? If you
can seqult at least seven year old high school student,
what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
If I'm trying to be generous, I'm gonna say, I
you know, maybe heatha had visions of athletic grandeur as
a twenty seven year old man. I'm now at the
peak of my physical capabilities, and I'm no more about
whatever baseball, basketball, soccer, or whatever his sportive choice was.
Perhaps that's what it was. If you don't want to
(13:00):
be generous, you'd say he's trying to pick up high
school chicks.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
And you're a freak. Sure that was part of the plan.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Gen Zers were given surveys asking about people's cell phone use,
and apparently they've got some critiques that they would like
us to know. So if you're older than what is
this what twenty four? That's that's you. So people that
they this is what they don't like. Now. When it
said cold calling, I said, oh, what do you mean,
(13:29):
like when a salesperson just calls you out of the blue.
That's what cold calling used to mean.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
That's what it means in the business world, even to
this day.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
But no, that's not what they mean. They mean calling
without setting an appointment for the call. So I'm not
going to answer a call from Grandma because Grandma just
decided to call me.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Now, do you think I'm available at your beckon call? Yeah,
that's cold calling. I'm going to answer a phone from
a phone call from you.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
If you wanted to. If you wanted to call me,
send me a text at least fifteen to twenty minutes earlier.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
If you think you're having a heart attack, don't call
a gen zer because they won't answer.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, call nine one.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
You'll lay there on the floor and die before they
will answer.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Well, they'll check your voicemail, probably around the same time
your funeral scheduled.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Lord um.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
But as they also get back to texting if your
texts are too long, she said. Gen Z kids don't
like the ce texts that look like maybe a full
paragraph or whatever. Break them up into multiple text messages
if necessary, but send one, then way to maybe ten
(14:40):
to fifteen minutes, send another. They don't want to just
be interrupted and have to read a five minute.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Time had to scroll up in the middle of a
text message.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Scroll yeah, I shouldn't have to do that. Another thing
that they find annoying is when people don't now this
is this. I think we can all agree on it.
I don't think you have to be a gen Z
or too agree that everybody should lock their phone screens.
People who don't lock their phone screens lead to butt
dials and many, apparently people in our age group end
(15:09):
up inadvertently dialing their kids because we didn't have our
phone lock set.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Ye mind sets resets pretty quickly.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And then the final one that they listened here, which
is pretty funny because Angela does this all the time,
is when you inadvertently turn your flashlight on. I don't
know why is the Angela's flashlight is constantly I'm constantly
telling her, your flashlight's on.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Your flashlights on. And so they said, as.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
One barista shared, boomers are out here in the wild
shining these lights in our eyes as they're trying to
order coffee. That's great, Shut your dang flashlight off.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I don't ever have that problem.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Maybe you don't even know that you have that problem
unless somebody would address it. Because Angela never knows hers
is on. She's sitting here typing. She doesn't know that
the flashlights on. And I'll go your flashlights on, and
she'll say what wow, And I'll say, look at your
foot or something.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
It's lit up.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
So those are the things gen z ers want to
critique us about. And finally, Jonathan, we're gonna be able
to celebrate wins tomorrow. You know, we talk about our
favorite things of the days, and oftentimes that's our little
wins that we got. Tomorrow morning, We're going to turn
it over people. You people say you love it when
we talk about our favorite things of the day. What
(16:30):
was your favorite thing of the day, What was your
favorite win of the week.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
What did you witness like I witnessed the nonprofits giving
their checks that were just donated to them to another
nonprofit and salute of their efforts to make your committity better.
What did your kid do at school?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
I mean, what did you I don't know if we
still run the brain Balance commercial, but I like the
one where the girl says her son, for the first
time in his life, was able to tie his own shoes.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
That's a great one.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I mean the kid it's like nine ten years old.
It took them a while, yep, but we got it.
That's a huge win. Let's celebrate those types of stories.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Okay, we can do all that tomorrow. Let's get into
the weekend tomorrow morning with your chance to win at
six thirty. Then we're gonna celebrate what's going on good
in your life and in the state. Eight oh three

long week tomorrow with Friday. Thank god it's Friday. And

you can buy them, because they'll go on and sell.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Cody Johnson, tickets will
be available for purchase for a show at the Colonial
Life Arena.
Speaker 2 (00:19):

dollars in nineteen ninety. The buying power of twenty nine
dollars in nineteen ninety is in twenty twenty five dollars
seventy three dollars and seventy five cents.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
OK.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
So, he you're I guess you're being undercharged a dollar
seventy five at this point?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
What do you think of that? I don't I don't
know why this guy would come out with this unpopular
hot take of his, with the strong positioning that we're
not charging enough for concerts around here. Who does this
benefit him?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I think he's he's and he's pushing back on some
of the artists because there's a bunch of artists who
have come out and said, you know, Ticketmaster and Live
Nation and these outfits are overcharging for people to come
see us. And so I think he's trying to make
the point, Well, when you compare it to you know,
forty years ago, it's actually cheaper now.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Okay. I could hear him make the argument with different
words that what was used to describe that from the
article that you're representing. Yeah, that probably would be a
good idea. Why don't you couch that a little differently?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
What's the most you've ever paid for a concert ticket?
I can tell you the most I ever paid, and
I didn't even want to go see it was Madonna.
And I've told this story before. I paid three hundred
dollars a concert ticket to see Madonna. And this was
in two thousand and two and two thousand and one.
She was playing in Washington, DC, and I had promised
(07:20):
a guy I was a record guy at the time.
I was promising a program director. I was going to
get him into the concert with great seats, and I
messed up. I bought bulk tickets for other people in
my office, and then I, because I'm greedy, wanted to
make sure I had the best seats for myself, and
then I distributed the others to the others of my office.
And then I didn't know. I didn't think of this,
(07:44):
but there was two nights of the concert, and the
tickets that I took for myself for the great seats
were the Friday night Madonna concert and we were going
on Saturday. And when I got there and they scanned them,
they were like, these are for last night show. Oh no,
And so I was.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
And the guy insult to injury or injury to insult.
These tickets went unused.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And I don't want to say much about the fella,
but I will tell you this part of his personality,
which was consistent with his personality. He started crying. Yes,
he was crying at the gate to the MCI Center.
And I was like, don't worry about it, man, I
got this. This is not a big deal. And I
(08:27):
had no idea what I was going to do. He
was like, I said, let me just go make a call.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
That's not a problem.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
And I'm walking away and I can't even get my
phone to get cell service because this is, you know, again,
twenty years ago. You're inside an arena. It's impossible, and
so I've like, I just got to step outside to
make a call. So I don't know who I'm going
to call. Who could I possibly call? It's a sold
out concert that starts in ten minutes, Like what am
I going to do? So I see some guy selling
(08:52):
tickets on the street and I was just like, how much, bro?
And he says, I got two on the floor, six
hundred for the pay and I was like six hundred
dollars and.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
He's like, you could take it or not. Man, it's
up to you and your choice. This is America. You
must choose. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Now, I think the face value it wasn't a big
markup because he said I was selling these things for
one thousand dollars an hour ago.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
And so I lucky you came to me this close
to ring time.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, it was only ten minutes to the show, because
in fifteen twenty minutes, these tickets.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Are worth for us.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
So I ran across the street to an ATM, took
out six hundred bucks and paid this guy, and then
got my little crying friend into the arena to see
his favorite artist, Madonna.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I think if we adjusted for today's dollars, I way
overpaid for two tickets for Steel Wheels Rolling Stones at
Williamspice Stadium.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Okay, that's that's quite a while ago.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, yeah, I'm or it could just be the concert
was so bad. I felt so financially abused. Mick Jagger
for some reason, had decided they weren't gonna do any
of their hits. They were only going to play new
music off the Steel Wheels album, Kelly Kenny Sanwick, can
you name one one hit song by the Rolling Stones
(10:08):
off of Steel Wheels? The album?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Was there one called Steel Wheels?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Sure there was, but it wasn't a hit. It was
you had to wait for the entire first hour and
ten minute set to get to a song you were
familiar with.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
He wouldn't even give you any classics. I mean again,
nineteen was that ninety one or so?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Was steel Wheels? I mean he couldn't.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I mean, going back to start me up, that's only
like not even ten years earlier.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
It was awful. It was awful, quite frankly, the worst
concert I've ever been to in my life, and I've
been in some bad shows.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Have you ever wished you were somebody else? You ever
try to pretend to be somebody else? Are you ever
like act as if you were somebody else. We got
a man in Ohio who's been arrested twice now in
three years. He was arrested this week for using a
fad to try to enroll in high school. The people
(11:05):
at that school were able to detect it was a
fake ID and call it the authorities, and he was arrested.
Now it's the same man who in twenty twenty one
was arrested after tackling somebody and using handcuffs to cuff
them and letting everybody in the restaurant know that he
was a Franklin County police officer. No, that was not
(11:30):
true either. This guy, he's been arrested twice in like
three years now, faking to be somebody that he's not. Wow,
that is just an odd story.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
No, I have I don't think I've ever actually taken
on the identity of someone else.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
But have you ever how about this? Obviously not to
that extent, but people do like to fluff up their resumes,
so to speak, meaning they'll come in and say, well,
I was the vice president of whatever, or I was
the head of this, and then you meet somebody who
worked with him. They said they were the head. No,
(12:08):
they weren't. They were just like the rest of us.
I mean, we were all under sell and so.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Radio broadcastings filled with these characters.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I think it's pretty common in just the everyday world
that people want to exaggerate.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah, I'm sure that's true too.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
But I am concerned that the guy was trying to
enroll in high school. He's like twenty seven years old.
What are you doing, weirdo?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
He must have really thought he was gonna pull this.
Is this some kind of weird catch me? If you
can seqult at least seven year old high school student,
what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
If I'm trying to be generous, I'm gonna say, I
you know, maybe heatha had visions of athletic grandeur as
a twenty seven year old man. I'm now at the
peak of my physical capabilities, and I'm no more about
whatever baseball, basketball, soccer, or whatever his sportive choice was.
Perhaps that's what it was. If you don't want to
(13:00):
be generous, you'd say he's trying to pick up high
school chicks.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
And you're a freak. Sure that was part of the plan.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Gen Zers were given surveys asking about people's cell phone use,
and apparently they've got some critiques that they would like
us to know. So if you're older than what is
this what twenty four? That's that's you. So people that
they this is what they don't like. Now. When it
said cold calling, I said, oh, what do you mean,
(13:29):
like when a salesperson just calls you out of the blue.
That's what cold calling used to mean.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
That's what it means in the business world, even to
this day.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
But no, that's not what they mean. They mean calling
without setting an appointment for the call. So I'm not
going to answer a call from Grandma because Grandma just
decided to call me.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Now, do you think I'm available at your beckon call? Yeah,
that's cold calling. I'm going to answer a phone from
a phone call from you.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
If you wanted to. If you wanted to call me,
send me a text at least fifteen to twenty minutes earlier.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
If you think you're having a heart attack, don't call
a gen zer because they won't answer.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, call nine one.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
You'll lay there on the floor and die before they
will answer.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Well, they'll check your voicemail, probably around the same time
your funeral scheduled.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Lord um.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
But as they also get back to texting if your
texts are too long, she said. Gen Z kids don't
like the ce texts that look like maybe a full
paragraph or whatever. Break them up into multiple text messages
if necessary, but send one, then way to maybe ten
(14:40):
to fifteen minutes, send another. They don't want to just
be interrupted and have to read a five minute.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Time had to scroll up in the middle of a
text message.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Scroll yeah, I shouldn't have to do that. Another thing
that they find annoying is when people don't now this
is this. I think we can all agree on it.
I don't think you have to be a gen Z
or too agree that everybody should lock their phone screens.
People who don't lock their phone screens lead to butt
dials and many, apparently people in our age group end
(15:09):
up inadvertently dialing their kids because we didn't have our
phone lock set.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Ye mind sets resets pretty quickly.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And then the final one that they listened here, which
is pretty funny because Angela does this all the time,
is when you inadvertently turn your flashlight on. I don't
know why is the Angela's flashlight is constantly I'm constantly
telling her, your flashlight's on.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Your flashlights on. And so they said, as.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
One barista shared, boomers are out here in the wild
shining these lights in our eyes as they're trying to
order coffee. That's great, Shut your dang flashlight off.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I don't ever have that problem.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Maybe you don't even know that you have that problem
unless somebody would address it. Because Angela never knows hers
is on. She's sitting here typing. She doesn't know that
the flashlights on. And I'll go your flashlights on, and
she'll say what wow, And I'll say, look at your
foot or something.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
It's lit up.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
So those are the things gen z ers want to
critique us about. And finally, Jonathan, we're gonna be able
to celebrate wins tomorrow. You know, we talk about our
favorite things of the days, and oftentimes that's our little
wins that we got. Tomorrow morning, We're going to turn
it over people. You people say you love it when
we talk about our favorite things of the day. What
(16:30):
was your favorite thing of the day, What was your
favorite win of the week.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
What did you witness like I witnessed the nonprofits giving
their checks that were just donated to them to another
nonprofit and salute of their efforts to make your committity better.
What did your kid do at school?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
I mean, what did you I don't know if we
still run the brain Balance commercial, but I like the
one where the girl says her son, for the first
time in his life, was able to tie his own shoes.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
That's a great one.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I mean the kid it's like nine ten years old.
It took them a while, yep, but we got it.
That's a huge win. Let's celebrate those types of stories.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
