Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Kelly Nash, good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Thank God, tomorrow's Friday. Here's your last opportunity of the week.
I think last opportunity for a while. We might have
some more in the future. We don't know yet, Eric Church.
This is for the show in Charleston.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Yeah. If you go to the morning Rest plug at
ninety seven five WCOS dot com, you'll see that here's
the answer to when Eric Church concert tickets Friday morning
and we talk about both of his shows, because we're
contractually obligated to mention all of these shows. But I
do have in the bold letters the Friday morning when
we play what you're talking about, it's for a pair
(00:34):
of tickets to the Charleston show. We gave away all
of our Greenville tickets from this first allotment, so we're
now down to the Charleston show for tomorrow. Let's see
if I can say this word hmm. I should have
look this one up. I'm going to go with Myra Midden,
Myra Midden, m y r m I don Myra Midden.
(01:00):
It could be used as a compliment, but it could
also be an insult, depending on how you use my remitten.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
It has something to do with a pecking order, I know.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
That you're right, and I would have perhaps given you
the example of Tumbleweed could be a my remitten. You
were never a my remitten, by the way, just so you.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Know, I'm lost in my own thought process of this
word then, because I was thinking this is like, I
can't remember if it's it's somebody beneath your status.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Well, it's a subordinate. It's a subordinate. But it's not
just a subordinate. It's a subordinate who will carry out
any order without question. Oh okay, so that's what I'm saying.
It could be a compliment, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Tumblewe if you asked tumble to do something, he's going
to go do it.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yes, that's why you gotta be careful what you ask
him to do. True, Tumbleweed, I'd like that girl's head
on a play and it'll be on a platter. You
gotta be careful.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Conversely, Kelly, would have you believe I'm not gonna do
anything you asked me?
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Well, not without question? Hey can you play going out
to the Country? Oh my god, that was your boss
giving you an order, and did you do it without question?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I did it the first time, and halfway through the song,
I said to myself self. You're a moron working for
a moron. Don't ever do this again. Two weeks later,
he called me up about four fifteen, Hey, can you
play out in the country. Sure, we'll get it on.
I gave you the answer I gave everybody else listening.
(02:42):
I get it on for you as fast as I
can click.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I'll look and see if I have that around.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
He called me back like an hour later, Hey man,
I never heard my song. Oh you're right, I forgot
about it. I get it on for you as soon
as I can. He wasn't happy with that.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You did not do as told without question. So you're
not that word.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
No, I'm not that person.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
No, no, out. It's funny how how radio people don't
even understand that like this in this era, you know,
the twenty twenties, it's almost impossible for a DJ to
just play a record like just pull it out.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Almost almost impossible if it's in the system.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Given that, well, yeah it's not. You're going to pop
a CD in, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
It's not like I can pop in his easy top song.
I can't play a James I would play James Taylor's
like I can't play like a Backstreet boy song even
though it's in our system because it may be played
on Steve FM, I'm not going to play that on
w COS.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Be hard for you to play a skinnered record, even
though it.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Would would love it.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I on an extreme, maybe a celebrated day.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
But if you go back pre twenty pre two thousands,
nineteen nineties, when we played songs on CDs, or we
played them on records, or we've played them off cartridges,
the bosses would often call and just demand that their
song be heard next. And I remember the guy who
(04:12):
runs all of the programming for iHeartMedia is a guy
named Tom Pullman. Tom Polman, at this point in his life,
is not even the music director, which is below the
program director. He was the assistant music director. There was
a guy named Steph Ryebeck was the program director. A
guy named Jim Dan was the music director. Tom Pullman
(04:32):
Peach fuzzed face as he was, was the assistant music director.
The overnight guy was a guy named Paul D. Francisco,
and Paul D. Francisco received a phone call from a
drunken faith Zilla and drunken Ross Cooper. That's the general
manager and general sales manager for a case one on
one at the time, they're in a limo coming back
from a party in New York City, hammered off their butts,
(04:55):
and he says to Paul, yeah, we want to hear
the Hammer dance. He doesn't even know the name of
the song. We want to hear the hammer dance Hamber Dance. Yeah,
And Paul says, well, I played it last hour. I
can't play it again. The next time it'll come up,
it'll be like three am. It's now like one forty
five in the morning or something. And he's like, bro,
(05:19):
I am the sales manager with the vice president and
general manager. But well, I would need authorization from somebody
in management. You're authorized from the vice president. Play it now.
So he played it well. Tom Poulman, as the former
assistant music director, used to look at the logs every
(05:41):
day and Paul had written on the log scratched off
whatever Wilson Phillips and wrote on MC Hammer, per Ross
Cooper and faith Zilla. So he went down there and
he got in a screaming match for the ages with
the vice presid in general. For him, I don't even
(06:01):
know if they knew who he was yet, you're whom
I'm the assistant to Jim Dan.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Who's he He's the he's the music director underneath Stephan
r Ryback, the program director in charge of all things
that go on the air here.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Anyway, they they almost got him fired over that. That's great,
and I think it partially did lead to them not
promoting him to the program director's position after Jim and
Steph had left, they passed him by. And then he
went to another radio station and became the assistant program director,
then the program director, and then his next move was
program dictor of Z one hundred New York, and then
his next job was vice president.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
And again this is for a song played roughly one
in the morning. In the morning.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, he went ballistic over that. And but to that
idea that they would call you all, they used to
call me on my night show all the time. They're
going out. And now I want to show I want
to show a client, or I want to show my
girlfriend how much power I have if I want to
make such and such appear next, you'll either play it
(07:03):
or I'm gett I'll cancel all your remotes true play it,
play it or you you know whatever. The night club
I was working at, Skitters or boppers or whatever. You
know what, Kelly, you want? You like that appearance that
pays you three hundred dollars every week to go there
on Friday nights. I'm going to go away right now.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Huh So on the other side of the coin, I
remember waking up when I was the program director at
an Okay. I woke up at like two thirty in
the morning, go to the bathroom. As usual, program directors
always have a radio on them.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
At that time, it was a portable radio. I flipped
it on.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
There's a song on the air on WNK that is
not authorized to play unauthorized? I said, should I call
him now now? Because I want to go back to sleep.
I'll just deal with it in a couple hours. When
I see him, I walked in, I'm like, hey, what
are you doing playing so and so at two fourteen
this morning?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Man, yeah, I thought you know that. We talked about
you know you're gonna let me be me? I said, yea,
I'm gonna let you be you right now. Get out,
you go be you somewhere.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Else for one song in the morning.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
That's right firing.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
We don't even really rate that time.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
No, it wasn't in the doesn't matter. The principal fired.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Him, I can't trust you. Then, I certainly can't trust you.
It too in the afternoon.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Well, anyway, times have changed a lot.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Annunciation of the word again was.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Oh, I have to go back and find it.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Now, now that we've gone through two very descriptive.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
The word of the day for the Eric Church councerl tickets.
This is for the Charleston Show tomorrow morning, Myra Midden,
Myra Midden. That is a subordinate who carries out their
orders without question. Now, as we've talked about going back
to the nineties, November twenty fourth, they're going to celebrate
(08:55):
the thirtieth anniversary of Everybody Loves Raymond. It's a ninety
minute program. You're gonna have everybody's coming back, except obviously
Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle, who both passed on the parents.
They're not gonna make it, but they'll be there in
spirit and the show will be devoted to them.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I'm a huge Peter Boyle fan.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
He was fantastic on that show, but other things as well.
For that show, just gosh, they were They both played
their characters so well. Yeah, it was a wonderful show.
Any other shows that you'd like to have reunions from.
I mean, that's one of the big ones we've been
waiting on. The thirtieth anniversary is fantastic. I mean, you
can't do the Cosby Show obviously for a number of reasons.
(09:36):
Now they kind of did the Friends one during the
COVID and now you can't do the rest of it
because another obviously sad reason, Right, isn't that a weird
game to play? I'll play that game like, oh, that
person's dead, that person's dead. I'm going to ponder that
(10:03):
favorite shows that should get a reunion. That's a that's
a possible question for tomorrow's broadcast. Also, Jonathan, it's not
too early, obviously, We're just a little over two months
away now from Christmas. And with that in mind, according
to a new poll, fifty seven percent of Americans, so
(10:28):
this is an overwhelming majority, fifty seven percent. That means
forty three percent or not. Fifty seven percent of Americans
say yes, I'm already using AI to do my shopping.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Oh, what a great idea.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
So I'm part of the forty three I'm not what
a great idea, though I utilize it.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Thirty two percent say they trust AI to come up
with better gifting advice than their best friends or family members.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I believe that.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Let's see another angle is eight percent say that they
have found much better deals on things that they were
looking for when using AI. I did that the other
day looking for Brooks sneakers. I said I'd like to
buy I like Brooks running shoes are my favorite. And
I just said to my Grock, Grock, I'd like to
(11:19):
buy some Brooks. Can you find me Brooks at a
significant discount? Not a problem, Kelly, Here's four sites. Try
these three codes. Also, I found a pair that originally
retail at One's sixty five, currently on sale for sixty
three dollars.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
M the collective intelligence in this case that wants, needs,
desires of the world, and you're able to tap into
that to pick the perfect gift for someone that you love.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I wonder what kind of criteria, see, because you might
leave off special criteria like if I was to say
I'm buying a gift for Jonathan Rush, how do I
describe the guy to the chat GPT, the rock, the
Because whatever you say is what they're going to work
off of. They don't know Jonathan Rudge, so you know,
(12:14):
grandfather of two, I mean, loves baseball, likes to spend
time at the.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Beach, loves fishing, traditional southern not necessarily country.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah. But you know what if I forgot like a
key thing and all of a sudden they come up
with a gift and I'm okay, hey, chat GPT says
this is the perfect gift that I give it to you,
and it's highly offensive. I mean, I'm not not to
I mean to overdo it, like if I didn't put
in traditional Christian type of thing in there. Oh, you
(12:50):
mentioned he likes fishing in the beach. This is my
effing fishing shirt. Isn't that funny? I get that, And
I'm like, what the hell is this? Suddenly we got
a problem? All right? What else we got on the
Morning Rust blog for tomorrow? I know we got a problem.
(13:11):
Morning rustern regulars are loaded problems, and we love helping
you solve your problems.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
If I go to the thing, oh that's the wrong thing.
Here's the right thing. Oh they got we've got some
girls girls weekend out. It's actually more than a weekend.
It's a total trip to Vegas.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Baby, girls are going to go get crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Now here's the problem. The girl who was the mastermind
is that? Is that even a thing? I'm the mastermind
of this idea. She came up with the idea. She said,
wouldn't it be great if we all went to Vegas?
And several girls said it would be great? And she
said fantastic. All right, let me work on scheduling this.
So the girl scheduled it. She found the great hotel rates, airfare,
(13:56):
when we leave, and when are we coming back? She
does all of that. The trip is scheduled, I guess
not until maybe early part of next year or maybe
late this year. But she now has announced I just
found out I'm pregnant. I'm going to be in my
third trimester when that trip comes, so I'm not going
to be able to make it. Now the other two
(14:18):
are thinking, are we bad people if we still go
on this trip that she planned for everybody, or plan
for both of us. She did all the work. Would
we be honoring her more if we said, you know what,
because you don't want to post Instagram photos of the
good time she's missing that she worked so hard for.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
What would girl code dictate here?
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Well, you and I are completely ill equipped for this question.
What would bro Code say?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Now?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Bro Code wouldn't even come up with this idea, would
they Bro's Weekend of Vegas? I don't know. Maybe if
I was younger, that might have been a thing three
they might have come up with that.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Might as well film it. It's going to get out
of control.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
You're not going to remember it.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
You're gonna want to capture it if you want to
remember it, because you ain't going to remember it. And
you mentioned she was pregnant, because my first thought was
I'm learning how to be suspicious from ladies.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Oh are you? They're teaching you this skill? Well?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yeah, Sally's mom's biggest criticism of me was that he's
not suspicious enough of anybody.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
What was Why.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Would I just take him face value?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
How did Sally's mother come to that conclusion about you?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I've forgotten what the circumstances were, and I didn't take
it as an insult.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I thought it was pretty interesting observation. I think she's right.
I miss her. She was great.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
My first thought before I realized she was pregnant is
that she set this whole thing up because she's having
a little side thing with one of the girlfriend's boyfriends.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
See that's now I'm learning how to be suspicious.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I was here to say, is this coming from the
man who's not suspicious learning?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I've learned. I've learned.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I'm learning how to be suspicious because like, what would
her motivation be to set up so everybody gets out
of town ex M.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
But that's not the case.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
No, she's not going to be able to go party,
so she doesn't want to go. I don't blame her.
She's not going to be do you want to watch
your friends drink? She wants to get out there and
you know, yeah, I have a good time in Vegas.
Can't do it. I'm gonna be pregnant.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I mean, the trip is fully refundable at this point,
so it's not like you're losing any money. You can
get all your money back and just and then that way,
she's not she's not seeing you on social media posting
all these things about what she had actually been her vision.
This is going to be my vision.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
How far does the solidarity go?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
It's what I don't know what the girls there is
bro code. Where do the girls call it? Yes, chick
something or lady something? We're bro code.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
What is their thing chick commitment?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I don't know that, chick commitment, lady.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Loyalty, I don't know. Looking for a literation here, I
can't come up with anything.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I don't know. That's a good question, though, Is that
somehow violate?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Well, there's something else that goes instead of bro that
rhymes with code. But I'm not going to use that
on this podcast because.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
That don't trick me into it.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Well, you're very suspicious of me, You're very suspicious.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
I'm learning to be suspicious. I don't take anybody a
face value anymore. No, not even Sally. Oh my gosh,
she's lying. Hey, what's going on in your neighborhood? We
need to be talking about what.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
You got going on other than the unbelievable collection of
skeletons that pop it up everywhere. Yesterday I was in
the Walmart Okay days ago, and I went by the
seasonal section. My god, the different availabilities of skeletons. I mean,
everybody's it's like the hottest thing going for Halloween.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
You know, is there like a so for example, I'm
a one of my favorite stores, no offense Belks is Dillard's.
I just find that Dillard's has a better selection of
the clothes that I like to wear. And they got
a designer over there.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
I forget.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
His name is Daniel Kremew I think is how you
pronounce it? Great designer. He used to work for Ralph
Lauren Polo, and then he left and started his own
company like in the late nineties early two thousands called
Daniel Kromo. So it's like a lot of Ralph Lauren
vibed stuff, high quality stuff, but you can usually get
(18:24):
it pretty substantially discounted at Dillards. You wait for it
to go on sale. And so shirts that you know,
if they had Ralph Lauren's logo on it, they'd be
two hundred dollars. You can buy them for like one twenty,
but if you wait for the sale, you can buy
him for like fifty five. They had. I just found
this out like a couple of years ago when I
(18:45):
was on a trip to Florida. They have like a
Dillard's outlet in Florida, and we also have one in
North Carolina that I just discovered a Dillard's outlet where
I went up there and I found like all this
Daniel Kremo stuff and it was like eight dollars and
they're like, yeah, so this is like like if it
doesn't sell at the outlet stores, yeah, we send it
(19:07):
to the Dillard's outlet got it. So like, when it's
all said and done, this is three years ago fashion. Yeah,
so this was like a it was. It was designed
for the summer of twenty twenty. Nobody bought it in
the store in twenty twenty. We discounted it for the fall.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
We then moved it.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
To like, you know, one of these outlet centers that
we see around, you know, like down in Mount Pleasant
or whatever. You sat there for a year or two,
didn't sell. Now it went to the Dillard's outlet center.
This is rock bottom. If it doesn't work here, we're
sending it to Africa. That type of Do they do
that with like Halloween stuff? Is there like a discount
(19:43):
like that's last season's Halloween. No, that's ten years Halloween.
So they put it like in a you know maybe
springtime you can find it in some store at a
dramatic discount.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
You know, that's a great question, because.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
These things can't I mean, you upgrade constantly. The decoration
game in twenty twenty five is so beyond what it
was in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Oh yeah, well, and think about what it's going to
be now that AI and robotics are here.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
That's what I'm saying. These things can't wait.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
That's so last year.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
If you don't sell three years ago, if you don't
sell it this year, like what happens to it. I'd
still like it maybe, but I don't want to pay
two hundred dollars for it. I'll pay fifty.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Good question.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I want to find the Halloween outlets.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Hey, you can also reach out to us on social media.
You know how to do that. You can email us.
I'm Rush at nine seven five WCS.
Speaker 1 (20:36):

six point thirty, with the answer already posted on the
Morning Rush blog.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Make sure you're right numbercaller eight O three nine seven

it's Friday on the Morning Rush
Hello, Kelly Nash, good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Thank God, tomorrow's Friday. Here's your last opportunity of the week.
I think last opportunity for a while. We might have
some more in the future. We don't know yet, Eric Church.
This is for the show in Charleston.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Yeah. If you go to the morning Rest plug at
ninety seven five WCOS dot com, you'll see that here's
the answer to when Eric Church concert tickets Friday morning
and we talk about both of his shows, because we're
contractually obligated to mention all of these shows. But I
do have in the bold letters the Friday morning when
we play what you're talking about, it's for a pair
(00:34):
of tickets to the Charleston show. We gave away all
of our Greenville tickets from this first allotment, so we're
now down to the Charleston show for tomorrow. Let's see
if I can say this word hmm. I should have
look this one up. I'm going to go with Myra Midden,
Myra Midden, m y r m I don Myra Midden.
(01:00):
It could be used as a compliment, but it could
also be an insult, depending on how you use my remitten.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
It has something to do with a pecking order, I know.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
That you're right, and I would have perhaps given you
the example of Tumbleweed could be a my remitten. You
were never a my remitten, by the way, just so you.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Know, I'm lost in my own thought process of this
word then, because I was thinking this is like, I
can't remember if it's it's somebody beneath your status.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Well, it's a subordinate. It's a subordinate. But it's not
just a subordinate. It's a subordinate who will carry out
any order without question. Oh okay, so that's what I'm saying.
It could be a compliment, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Tumblewe if you asked tumble to do something, he's going
to go do it.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yes, that's why you gotta be careful what you ask
him to do. True, Tumbleweed, I'd like that girl's head
on a play and it'll be on a platter. You
gotta be careful.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Conversely, Kelly, would have you believe I'm not gonna do
anything you asked me?
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Well, not without question? Hey can you play going out
to the Country? Oh my god, that was your boss
giving you an order, and did you do it without question?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I did it the first time, and halfway through the song,
I said to myself self. You're a moron working for
a moron. Don't ever do this again. Two weeks later,
he called me up about four fifteen, Hey, can you
play out in the country. Sure, we'll get it on.
I gave you the answer I gave everybody else listening.
(02:42):
I get it on for you as fast as I
can click.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I'll look and see if I have that around.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
He called me back like an hour later, Hey man,
I never heard my song. Oh you're right, I forgot
about it. I get it on for you as soon
as I can. He wasn't happy with that.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You did not do as told without question. So you're
not that word.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
No, I'm not that person.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
No, no, out. It's funny how how radio people don't
even understand that like this in this era, you know,
the twenty twenties, it's almost impossible for a DJ to
just play a record like just pull it out.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Almost almost impossible if it's in the system.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Given that, well, yeah it's not. You're going to pop
a CD in, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
It's not like I can pop in his easy top song.
I can't play a James I would play James Taylor's
like I can't play like a Backstreet boy song even
though it's in our system because it may be played
on Steve FM, I'm not going to play that on
w COS.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Be hard for you to play a skinnered record, even
though it.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Would would love it.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I on an extreme, maybe a celebrated day.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
But if you go back pre twenty pre two thousands,
nineteen nineties, when we played songs on CDs, or we
played them on records, or we've played them off cartridges,
the bosses would often call and just demand that their
song be heard next. And I remember the guy who
(04:12):
runs all of the programming for iHeartMedia is a guy
named Tom Pullman. Tom Polman, at this point in his life,
is not even the music director, which is below the
program director. He was the assistant music director. There was
a guy named Steph Ryebeck was the program director. A
guy named Jim Dan was the music director. Tom Pullman
(04:32):
Peach fuzzed face as he was, was the assistant music director.
The overnight guy was a guy named Paul D. Francisco,
and Paul D. Francisco received a phone call from a
drunken faith Zilla and drunken Ross Cooper. That's the general
manager and general sales manager for a case one on
one at the time, they're in a limo coming back
from a party in New York City, hammered off their butts,
(04:55):
and he says to Paul, yeah, we want to hear
the Hammer dance. He doesn't even know the name of
the song. We want to hear the hammer dance Hamber Dance. Yeah,
And Paul says, well, I played it last hour. I
can't play it again. The next time it'll come up,
it'll be like three am. It's now like one forty
five in the morning or something. And he's like, bro,
(05:19):
I am the sales manager with the vice president and
general manager. But well, I would need authorization from somebody
in management. You're authorized from the vice president. Play it now.
So he played it well. Tom Poulman, as the former
assistant music director, used to look at the logs every
(05:41):
day and Paul had written on the log scratched off
whatever Wilson Phillips and wrote on MC Hammer, per Ross
Cooper and faith Zilla. So he went down there and
he got in a screaming match for the ages with
the vice presid in general. For him, I don't even
(06:01):
know if they knew who he was yet, you're whom
I'm the assistant to Jim Dan.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Who's he He's the he's the music director underneath Stephan
r Ryback, the program director in charge of all things
that go on the air here.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Anyway, they they almost got him fired over that. That's great,
and I think it partially did lead to them not
promoting him to the program director's position after Jim and
Steph had left, they passed him by. And then he
went to another radio station and became the assistant program director,
then the program director, and then his next move was
program dictor of Z one hundred New York, and then
his next job was vice president.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
And again this is for a song played roughly one
in the morning. In the morning.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, he went ballistic over that. And but to that
idea that they would call you all, they used to
call me on my night show all the time. They're
going out. And now I want to show I want
to show a client, or I want to show my
girlfriend how much power I have if I want to
make such and such appear next, you'll either play it
(07:03):
or I'm gett I'll cancel all your remotes true play it,
play it or you you know whatever. The night club
I was working at, Skitters or boppers or whatever. You
know what, Kelly, you want? You like that appearance that
pays you three hundred dollars every week to go there
on Friday nights. I'm going to go away right now.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Huh So on the other side of the coin, I
remember waking up when I was the program director at
an Okay. I woke up at like two thirty in
the morning, go to the bathroom. As usual, program directors
always have a radio on them.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
At that time, it was a portable radio. I flipped
it on.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
There's a song on the air on WNK that is
not authorized to play unauthorized? I said, should I call
him now now? Because I want to go back to sleep.
I'll just deal with it in a couple hours. When
I see him, I walked in, I'm like, hey, what
are you doing playing so and so at two fourteen
this morning?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Man, yeah, I thought you know that. We talked about
you know you're gonna let me be me? I said, yea,
I'm gonna let you be you right now. Get out,
you go be you somewhere.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Else for one song in the morning.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
That's right firing.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
We don't even really rate that time.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
No, it wasn't in the doesn't matter. The principal fired.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Him, I can't trust you. Then, I certainly can't trust you.
It too in the afternoon.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Well, anyway, times have changed a lot.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Annunciation of the word again was.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Oh, I have to go back and find it.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Now, now that we've gone through two very descriptive.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
The word of the day for the Eric Church councerl tickets.
This is for the Charleston Show tomorrow morning, Myra Midden,
Myra Midden. That is a subordinate who carries out their
orders without question. Now, as we've talked about going back
to the nineties, November twenty fourth, they're going to celebrate
(08:55):
the thirtieth anniversary of Everybody Loves Raymond. It's a ninety
minute program. You're gonna have everybody's coming back, except obviously
Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle, who both passed on the parents.
They're not gonna make it, but they'll be there in
spirit and the show will be devoted to them.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I'm a huge Peter Boyle fan.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
He was fantastic on that show, but other things as well.
For that show, just gosh, they were They both played
their characters so well. Yeah, it was a wonderful show.
Any other shows that you'd like to have reunions from.
I mean, that's one of the big ones we've been
waiting on. The thirtieth anniversary is fantastic. I mean, you
can't do the Cosby Show obviously for a number of reasons.
(09:36):
Now they kind of did the Friends one during the
COVID and now you can't do the rest of it
because another obviously sad reason, Right, isn't that a weird
game to play? I'll play that game like, oh, that
person's dead, that person's dead. I'm going to ponder that
(10:03):
favorite shows that should get a reunion. That's a that's
a possible question for tomorrow's broadcast. Also, Jonathan, it's not
too early, obviously, We're just a little over two months
away now from Christmas. And with that in mind, according
to a new poll, fifty seven percent of Americans, so
(10:28):
this is an overwhelming majority, fifty seven percent. That means
forty three percent or not. Fifty seven percent of Americans
say yes, I'm already using AI to do my shopping.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Oh, what a great idea.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
So I'm part of the forty three I'm not what
a great idea, though I utilize it.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Thirty two percent say they trust AI to come up
with better gifting advice than their best friends or family members.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I believe that.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Let's see another angle is eight percent say that they
have found much better deals on things that they were
looking for when using AI. I did that the other
day looking for Brooks sneakers. I said I'd like to
buy I like Brooks running shoes are my favorite. And
I just said to my Grock, Grock, I'd like to
(11:19):
buy some Brooks. Can you find me Brooks at a
significant discount? Not a problem, Kelly, Here's four sites. Try
these three codes. Also, I found a pair that originally
retail at One's sixty five, currently on sale for sixty
three dollars.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
M the collective intelligence in this case that wants, needs,
desires of the world, and you're able to tap into
that to pick the perfect gift for someone that you love.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I wonder what kind of criteria, see, because you might
leave off special criteria like if I was to say
I'm buying a gift for Jonathan Rush, how do I
describe the guy to the chat GPT, the rock, the
Because whatever you say is what they're going to work
off of. They don't know Jonathan Rudge, so you know,
(12:14):
grandfather of two, I mean, loves baseball, likes to spend
time at the.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Beach, loves fishing, traditional southern not necessarily country.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah. But you know what if I forgot like a
key thing and all of a sudden they come up
with a gift and I'm okay, hey, chat GPT says
this is the perfect gift that I give it to you,
and it's highly offensive. I mean, I'm not not to
I mean to overdo it, like if I didn't put
in traditional Christian type of thing in there. Oh, you
(12:50):
mentioned he likes fishing in the beach. This is my
effing fishing shirt. Isn't that funny? I get that, And
I'm like, what the hell is this? Suddenly we got
a problem? All right? What else we got on the
Morning Rust blog for tomorrow? I know we got a problem.
(13:11):
Morning rustern regulars are loaded problems, and we love helping
you solve your problems.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
If I go to the thing, oh that's the wrong thing.
Here's the right thing. Oh they got we've got some
girls girls weekend out. It's actually more than a weekend.
It's a total trip to Vegas.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Baby, girls are going to go get crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Now here's the problem. The girl who was the mastermind
is that? Is that even a thing? I'm the mastermind
of this idea. She came up with the idea. She said,
wouldn't it be great if we all went to Vegas?
And several girls said it would be great? And she
said fantastic. All right, let me work on scheduling this.
So the girl scheduled it. She found the great hotel rates, airfare,
(13:56):
when we leave, and when are we coming back? She
does all of that. The trip is scheduled, I guess
not until maybe early part of next year or maybe
late this year. But she now has announced I just
found out I'm pregnant. I'm going to be in my
third trimester when that trip comes, so I'm not going
to be able to make it. Now the other two
(14:18):
are thinking, are we bad people if we still go
on this trip that she planned for everybody, or plan
for both of us. She did all the work. Would
we be honoring her more if we said, you know what,
because you don't want to post Instagram photos of the
good time she's missing that she worked so hard for.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
What would girl code dictate here?
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Well, you and I are completely ill equipped for this question.
What would bro Code say?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Now?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Bro Code wouldn't even come up with this idea, would
they Bro's Weekend of Vegas? I don't know. Maybe if
I was younger, that might have been a thing three
they might have come up with that.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Might as well film it. It's going to get out
of control.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
You're not going to remember it.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
You're gonna want to capture it if you want to
remember it, because you ain't going to remember it. And
you mentioned she was pregnant, because my first thought was
I'm learning how to be suspicious from ladies.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Oh are you? They're teaching you this skill? Well?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yeah, Sally's mom's biggest criticism of me was that he's
not suspicious enough of anybody.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
What was Why.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Would I just take him face value?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
How did Sally's mother come to that conclusion about you?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I've forgotten what the circumstances were, and I didn't take
it as an insult.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I thought it was pretty interesting observation. I think she's right.
I miss her. She was great.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
My first thought before I realized she was pregnant is
that she set this whole thing up because she's having
a little side thing with one of the girlfriend's boyfriends.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
See that's now I'm learning how to be suspicious.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I was here to say, is this coming from the
man who's not suspicious learning?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I've learned. I've learned.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I'm learning how to be suspicious because like, what would
her motivation be to set up so everybody gets out
of town ex M.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
But that's not the case.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
No, she's not going to be able to go party,
so she doesn't want to go. I don't blame her.
She's not going to be do you want to watch
your friends drink? She wants to get out there and
you know, yeah, I have a good time in Vegas.
Can't do it. I'm gonna be pregnant.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I mean, the trip is fully refundable at this point,
so it's not like you're losing any money. You can
get all your money back and just and then that way,
she's not she's not seeing you on social media posting
all these things about what she had actually been her vision.
This is going to be my vision.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
How far does the solidarity go?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
It's what I don't know what the girls there is
bro code. Where do the girls call it? Yes, chick
something or lady something? We're bro code.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
What is their thing chick commitment?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I don't know that, chick commitment, lady.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Loyalty, I don't know. Looking for a literation here, I
can't come up with anything.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I don't know. That's a good question, though, Is that
somehow violate?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Well, there's something else that goes instead of bro that
rhymes with code. But I'm not going to use that
on this podcast because.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
That don't trick me into it.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Well, you're very suspicious of me, You're very suspicious.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
I'm learning to be suspicious. I don't take anybody a
face value anymore. No, not even Sally. Oh my gosh,
she's lying. Hey, what's going on in your neighborhood? We
need to be talking about what.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
You got going on other than the unbelievable collection of
skeletons that pop it up everywhere. Yesterday I was in
the Walmart Okay days ago, and I went by the
seasonal section. My god, the different availabilities of skeletons. I mean,
everybody's it's like the hottest thing going for Halloween.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
You know, is there like a so for example, I'm
a one of my favorite stores, no offense Belks is Dillard's.
I just find that Dillard's has a better selection of
the clothes that I like to wear. And they got
a designer over there.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
I forget.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
His name is Daniel Kremew I think is how you
pronounce it? Great designer. He used to work for Ralph
Lauren Polo, and then he left and started his own
company like in the late nineties early two thousands called
Daniel Kromo. So it's like a lot of Ralph Lauren
vibed stuff, high quality stuff, but you can usually get
(18:24):
it pretty substantially discounted at Dillards. You wait for it
to go on sale. And so shirts that you know,
if they had Ralph Lauren's logo on it, they'd be
two hundred dollars. You can buy them for like one twenty,
but if you wait for the sale, you can buy
him for like fifty five. They had. I just found
this out like a couple of years ago when I
(18:45):
was on a trip to Florida. They have like a
Dillard's outlet in Florida, and we also have one in
North Carolina that I just discovered a Dillard's outlet where
I went up there and I found like all this
Daniel Kremo stuff and it was like eight dollars and
they're like, yeah, so this is like like if it
doesn't sell at the outlet stores, yeah, we send it
(19:07):
to the Dillard's outlet got it. So like, when it's
all said and done, this is three years ago fashion. Yeah,
so this was like a it was. It was designed
for the summer of twenty twenty. Nobody bought it in
the store in twenty twenty. We discounted it for the fall.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
We then moved it.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
To like, you know, one of these outlet centers that
we see around, you know, like down in Mount Pleasant
or whatever. You sat there for a year or two,
didn't sell. Now it went to the Dillard's outlet center.
This is rock bottom. If it doesn't work here, we're
sending it to Africa. That type of Do they do
that with like Halloween stuff? Is there like a discount
(19:43):
like that's last season's Halloween. No, that's ten years Halloween.
So they put it like in a you know maybe
springtime you can find it in some store at a
dramatic discount.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
You know, that's a great question, because.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
These things can't I mean, you upgrade constantly. The decoration
game in twenty twenty five is so beyond what it
was in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Oh yeah, well, and think about what it's going to
be now that AI and robotics are here.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
That's what I'm saying. These things can't wait.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
That's so last year.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
If you don't sell three years ago, if you don't
sell it this year, like what happens to it. I'd
still like it maybe, but I don't want to pay
two hundred dollars for it. I'll pay fifty.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Good question.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I want to find the Halloween outlets.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Hey, you can also reach out to us on social media.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
