Hello, Kelly Nash, Good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Let us chit and chat about what we're going to
do tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
It's a great name for a morning show. Chit and chat. Yeah,
Chad chit and could you say Chad chit and maybe
it should be Chad chat and uh Cliff chit or
something like that.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Hey, tomorrow is Tuesday the fourteenth. Everybody be back out
in traffic tomorrow morning. Listening to the Morning Rush.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Yeah, hopefully y'all enjoying your day off if you got one.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I saw Tumbleweed on his way out. And by the way,
I've come up with a new name for the cats
we have. And we mentioned this before. We have a
feral cat colony now here and I heard Columbia rather disgusting.
So they're getting They're getting pretty brave now, Kelly. They
will block the door. Yeah, So Tumblewee was trying to
get out and I yelled out, get back Honky Cat.
(00:52):
Now the irony is that he's all black. Now going
back to Archie Bunker Skital the family, get back Honky
Cat living at iHeart ain't where it's at. I guess
it is for them because Mark keeps feeding them. Yes,
one of my dedicated employees comes in on Saturday and
(01:12):
Sunday morning to feed the cat.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
He's here today. Office is closed, he's here today. He
is here today. Does he also feed the fish? Yes?
Why doesn't he feed the fish to the cat and
the cats across the streets?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I thought if I poisoned the fish and he threw
one to the cat, then it would kill the cat.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
That's the two for winner.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
There you go, that's my strategy.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Now that he's heard it, do you think Usnce does?
Probably not.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
No, No, he listens only to political talk and he
goes deep in the deep dark webs. He's the webkeeper.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Is he one of those conspiracy guys? He's gotta be.
But how funny would it be if you actually did
a conspiracy against him and his cats? And then because
everybody knows he's a conspiracy theorist? Oh no, then nobody
would believe him because he despect Is it kind of
like Trump put fluoride in all the water to kill
the kids or something? I mean, what are you talking about,
Donald Jonathan Rush poisoned a fish, you'd feed it to
(02:07):
the cat and then it killed the cat. Okay, come on,
but he said it on his podcast.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
If it's on the internet to day true, if it's
in the deep dart webs, now we're talking, that's where
you get the truth.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Well, you know, you can also get the truth on
the Morning Rush blog where tomorrow morning we're going to
be playing. What you're talking about. The word of the
day is not trusty, but fusty.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Fusty, Yes, fusty and not busty.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
You're gonna make it. It's not busty.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
It's not where associations always go to. Something not rusty, husty,
not busty, but fusty.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yeah, what does fusty mean? I have no idea. Smelling
damp and stale is fusty interesting, almost like musty, kind
of like musty, but not quite fusty. So you get
that damp stale smell that is fusty. That's the word
of the day. You know it. You're gonna win South
(03:03):
Carolina State Fair tickets and ride passes. It's four tickets
to get you in two ride vouchers. They call it
the Harvest Bundle. When it are on six thirty tomorrow morning.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Get fusty at Concrete National Park.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Kenny Chesney gave Megan Maroney a birthday gift. I guess
it was her birthday. This past weekend or Thursday was
the birthday. And I'm sure Meghan Maroney got a lot
of great birthday gifts, but one that she really wanted
to brag about is Kenny Chesney gave her a nineteen
eighty four Hummingbird acoustic guitar. I have no idea what
that even means. I know what an acoustic guitar means.
(03:38):
I don't know what the Hummingbird? Why is it? So
apparently nineteen it is like wine. I believe nineteen eighty
four was the best year ever for the Hummingbird.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I believe the humming Bird was actually made by Taylor Guitars.
I could be wrong on that. I think it's a
special tailor guitar.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
But apparently that's like a seven thousand dollars purchase, I
believe by the nineteen eighty four one. But then he
went and got it a step further. This is one
that he had received as a gift. I guess he
gifted it from Dolly Parton. Oh my gosh, I autographed it.
What he gave it away to her? So she's like,
I can't believe that. I have this incredible guitar and
it's autographed by my hero, and you give the best
(04:14):
gifts ever was the best gift you've ever given or received.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I don't know why, but I tell you, when I
tell you this, Kelly, You're gonna laugh, okay at me
as a youngster. And I believe it was my sixth
birthday party.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I don't know why, but my mom allowed us to
invite kids on our sixth birthday party. But it was
like the only big birthday party we had when you
turn six, all right, on other birthdays you can invite
a friend, but in this case, I had several and
somebody and I can't remember her.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Guy.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I think it was Chuck. I think Chuck gave me
the complete Batman out fit. I had the cape, the mask. Now,
this is the nineteen sixties television show Batman that we
watched in the afternoons, Pow Yes Bang, the original with Robin.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I heard somebody else sports.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
And to make a reference to Robin the other day,
and I'm like, brother, you're proving years old as I am.
He made a Batman reference to Robin.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Do they not have Robin anymore?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I haven't got no no, Robin went Bye bye Batman
and Robin.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
There was rumors that they were like Burton Ernie.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
There was a lot better as of Dorothy.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
As they would say, they always choose the cave. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I had the complete outfit and that was one of
my one of my best gifts as a child.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Anyway, And I really haven't.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Received anything as a birthday as an adult birthday gift, we.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Didn't get like a ten thousand dollars gift like Kenny
Jesney gave.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
No, I didn't. I've never I'm sure that would stick.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Out, that would be a memorable gift.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I'm remembering birthdays now and I'm thinking of interesting gifts,
but none of them like that.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I remember this is this is like a sad story,
but you can mock. Before my sadness, I had a
stepfather and it was not a good relationship with my stepfather,
but I was always trying to repair.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
It just dawned on me you were actually a red
headed stepchild.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, and that has never dawned on me before. Oh
you're the infamous red headed stepchild.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Who was beaten like a red headed stepchild. Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
We were living out the adage that we all referenced
in comedic nature.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, so I was always trying to as I got older,
because I stood up to him, like physically when I
was like sixteen and said, you lay another hand on me,
I will bust your head. So that kind of really chilled.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
The relationship moving forward, he reassessed the situation. Yeah, previously
I had just taken maybe right. I had taken those
beatings with out question and sulk into the corner. But
then as I realized I was sixteen, I'm like, I'm
as big as him, if not bigger, and I'm stronger
than him. I'm sure because he's like forty and I'm sixteen,
So I can definitely whoop that tail now.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
And he's a drunk, and he was a drunk. It
was coordinations not there.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah. Yeah, when he was drunk, he was stumbling, and
so I can now easily take this guy. So once
I kind of put my foot down. The last year
or so that he lived at the house, it was
pretty pretty daston. But then after I got older, you know,
I was like nineteen twenty, you know, I'm thinking, well,
you know, he's still in our lives, he lives down
the street. I should try to be nice, and I
(07:39):
would try to be nice and he would try to
be nice. And so I was working on that relationship.
And so one year for Christmas, when I was like
twenty one, twenty two something like that, he had mentioned
how what he really needed with some new dishes, And
now you know, I was making I don't want to
say nothing. I was like I was on the radio
(08:01):
full time, I think, but it was so little. I
still had a part time job.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I mean, it was like, were you still working at
the restaurant where you were washing dishes?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
You know, No, that was my first job. That was
my first kid, and I was a waiter. Then I
worked at American Airlines. I was doing all kinds of
crazy jobs. Burlington Cot Factory anyway, the dishes, you know,
we'll say nineteen eighty seven dollars was something like two
hundred dollars okay for the dishes, and that was like
probably more than a week's pay for me, you know,
(08:30):
to come up with this. But I really wanted to
make a big impression on it. On Christmas, so I
go out, save all my money, blah blah blah, buy
the dishes, come over to the house. It's all wrapped
up in the dishes, and now he had reconnected with
his He had six children before me, okay, right that
(08:51):
those were biological children, one of them who was actually
named after him. The Junior has become one of the
most successful businessman in America. He was the CFO at Pepsi,
he was the CEO at Office Smacks. He was doing
incredible work. This guy was rich.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Well. By the time I arrived, they had already opened
up Junior's Christmas gift. Junior had had a cashmere overcoat
custom made to fit him perfectly, with his name embroidered
on the inside of it, custom made and all this
this jacket is like three thousand dollars. Sure, And then
(09:36):
I give him the dishes and he's like, oh, these
are great, But to just see what I got over here,
I mean, can you believe this coat? And I just
remember sitting there like like.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I busted my ass for a week to buy you
these dishes because you needed them.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Not as nice as the coat. I bet that did hurt.
And I'm sure that the I'm sure that the guy
who bought the coat, I mean, it was nothing for
him to buy the three thousand I mean again figuratively
I mean just dollars to dollars. His gift. It was
ten times more valuable, if not more of mine. But
he didn't. He didn't miss a meal, he didn't do
anything like that. I didn't, And I just remember saying,
you know what, I'm not going big on holidays anymore.
(10:10):
No more big holiday gifts. We're not good. We're not
going big on the gifts. Because that why am I
in a competition? There's not It's not supposed to be
a competition. The whole idea is lost if you're making
it a competition. So I learned a valuable lesson that day.
I hope Kenny Chesney does not regret giving away his
Dolly Parton autographed guitar someday trying to win Megan Moroney's affections.
He's not going to Now.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
How do you think Dolly Parton feels about finding out
you regifted a gift?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Well, she's on her deathbed, so it doesn't really matter, right,
Dolly's not dying. Also on the Morning Rush blog, how
long do Americans hang on to their phones? Because, like
the ads make you feel like we buy a new
phone every year? Great, do you get a new one? Right?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I have been holding out. Kelly knows that I don't
really like to spend money. Well to say that, think
about all the stupid stuff I spend the money. I
don't like to spend money on myself. But I need
to get a new phone. And I'm going to have
to get a new phone now because for whatever reason,
I've tried, and I've tried, maybe you know the answer,
but the volume on my speakerphone is like diminished. And
(11:19):
I've cleaned it, I've done all the I've googled it,
I've done all the things so I should be to
do to be able to hear it, and it's gotten
so bad. Now if we were to call somebody the
speakerphone and they called me, I said, you got to
call your mom.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
She can't hear you on my phone. My speakerphone isn't working.
So we call her on Sally speakerphone, which sounds pretty
much like the DAMNPA system that will at the Willie b.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
That's another Calora.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It is loud, but I'm gonna have to buy a
new phone.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Well. It's interesting because the average American now hangs on
to their cell phones five years, two months. That's the
average I've had this one at least a decade. The phones.
According to The New York Times, this story came out
May fifteenth, twenty twenty four. Smartphones are designed to last
(12:09):
a maximum of seven years. So when you buy a smartphone,
recognize it should be dead in six Yes, it's supposed
to die in six that's that's the maximum life is
six years. So when you drop one thousand dollars and
then you average that out over the years, you're looking
(12:29):
at well, for about two hundred dollars a year to
own the phone, plus the phone bill of whatever it is,
sixty to one hundred dollars a month or whatever it is.
So you're paying one thousand dollars a year on top
of the two hundred dollars a year. So it's twelve
hundred dollars a year to own a cell phone. Roughly.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
It's done on though me, I'm really good at taking
care of stuff. Because I've had my phone for like
a decade and my print my printer won't work and
it says it's the print head problem, and I look
that up Saturday, and then I looked up somehow I
got into a thread of how long should an HP printer.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Last it said three to five years.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I know I've had that printer for a decade, but
nonetheless I'm trying to.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Well and you're your printer. So going back to my
stepdad again, continuing to work on that relationship. He's dead now,
but tried to work on that relationship for the rest
of my life. The rest of his life. I would
go visit him in Orlando, that's where he retired. Had
a trailer and he had a washer dryer, and he
one day was celebrating the fact that he had such
(13:35):
an old washer dryer that when he called the was
it Whirlpool? Is that the ones I can't remember the
brand name. The guy showed up and was kind of like, yeah,
I understand he got a problem, blah blah blah. And
he came in. He said. The guy's face lit up
what he saw it. Now, this would have been around
two thousand and eight. I'm guessing that he goes, oh
my god, this this thing's like twenty years old. I
(13:57):
can work on this. And he goes, what do you
talk about it? And he says, anything made after two
thousand and two is designed to make it more expensive
to repair it than it is to replace it. That's
actually in the design so that all these you know,
breakdowns right now, we show up and we'll look at
it and they go, oh, well, that's going to take
the motherboard. The motherboard is six hundred dollars. A new
(14:18):
one of these is five hundred, right, what do you
want to do? And so everybody goes and buy He's
a new one, right, He's like, but this one. I
can fix this one for like thirty dollars because it's
got a part in there that I can fix. So
they've designed it. But you might have one of those
old printers that was designed before they actually thought of
the idea of we got to make it break every
four years.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
It's been the hell of a printer HP. Yeah, sixty
eight thirty. It's a great printer. If you can find one,
maybe I.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Should go online look for him, because Angelas always seems
to be breaking down and she's dropped a lot of
money on that printer. I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
And here's the thing though, but you went I went
about a ten dollars can of contact cleaner Saturday at
home depot. Now, if I fix it, I'm gonna already
the drawback on HP printers. The cartridges are real expensive,
but they're good printers. They get great reviews. Well, I know,
if I buy the all of the three colors and
(15:12):
the black and white, which it will need, or the
black printer, just the cartridges, I'm gonna spend like sixty
seventy dollars. Well, I've already looked at the new printer
that will replace this one, the sixty one hundred series.
I can get it on sale right now for one
hundred and twenty bucks. So why did I even buy
the ten dollar can of contact cleaner to go with
(15:34):
what's going to be a seventy dollars replacement of cartridges?
And I'm not even sure I can even get it
to work yet. I should have spent the extra fifty
bucks and bought a new one, which is probably what
I'll end up doing. I'm not buying the cartridges if
the print head won't line up.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Wow. Well, I mean we'll get into all those types
of questions tomorrow. And finally, Jonathan, you know I just
mentioned that I did this on Saturday. We drove all
the way to North Carolina, drove up to the mountain
to go to I think it's called Jeter mountain farms
and the apple picking and all that. And we certainly
weren't alone. There were thousands of people there. It was
a big stinking deal.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Mister Jeter was happy.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, And I enjoyed the actual driving part. I enjoyed being, like,
you know, on the Blue Ridge Parkway and all that
sort of stuff, looking at the mountains as the leaves
spectacularly turn into orange and red and all these other
vibrant colors that they have for you. Yep. But the
question is made. And I'm not going to use the
(16:31):
term here because I don't like the term that our
friend doctor Dave used when poising the question. But is
just driving to the mountains in order to watch the
leaves change? Is that overrated? Is that? Is that really?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I remember when you were a kid, your mom and
dad would ragon, well, you were living in Vermont. I mean,
it's beautiful there.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Well, no, my mom and dad when we lived in Connecticut,
my mom and dad would say, we're going to the
more mountain areas of Connecticut. Yeah, to look at and
by the way, people from Vermont. It's funny, Vermont's only
one hundred miles from my house. It's like the difference
between Greenville and Columbia between Hartford and Brattleboro, Vermont or something.
But the people in Vermont called all the people from
Connecticut flatlanders. You flatlanders because we don't have real mountains
(17:18):
in Connecticut. Vermont has the real mountains.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Gotcha.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
But you know, I remember being Saturdays or Sundays, particularly
after church, we would have to go and see the mountains,
see the leaves. My mom loved it. I don't know
that he gave a crap, but I certainly did not
give two poots about it. And I just remember thinking,
I am missing out on either a playing football right
now watching football.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
We're in the back of a car. I'm getting car sick.
We're going around the mountains. I hated it as a kid. Yes,
it's a whole lot easier when you're driving, but you.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Don't even do that now rightwhere.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, I got in trouble just driving to church the
other morning, that's like five minutes. Almost pulled over and
let her drive, But she likes to be dropped off
at the front.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Also, she'll let you drive to drop her to the church.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I get to drive to church on the way home.
Does she drive yesterday?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
She did?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Yes, that's hysterical. So do you guys go and look
at the mountain leaves.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
She mentioned the other day that she liked to go
back to she loves the mountains.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I'm much rather go to the beach. She loves the mountains.
I like the mountains once I get.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
There, but it is a little bit of a drive.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I had a Yeah, when the kids are little, we
go to the mountains, have a great time, go to
the Maggi Valley and do all that stuff. Now we
never went as far as Gatlinburg and did the you know,
had the toffee and all that stuff. It's nice up there,
go to slide and rock all that craziness.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Oh it's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Yeah, it's a beautiful time of the year to go
up to the mountains.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I like. It's not I it's it's a great investment
for a day or a weekend. It's a wonderful thing
to do. I think it's just admiring God's creation is
always a good way. Sure, beautiful in my estimation. You're
looking at a big mountain, or you're looking at a
big canyon, or you're looking at a rushing river. Whatever
(19:19):
you're looking at. I like to look at that and contemplate,
wo how did God come up with this? What was
he thinking here? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I mean, and you go up there, if you go
to the right time of the year, I think this
is probably be a good time of the year because
the water won't be too cold.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Oh you can get in the water.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yeah, you can get in the water, go down sliding
rock or whatever.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Nice. It won't be too too cold. So you and
I see it the same way. Not an overrated experience,
going to look at the going look at the foliage.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
But my mom and dad loved it. And I forgotten
where they were. I need to look this up because
I remember seeing a photo of it. It's just hysterical.
So they were somewhere and God knows it could have been.
It could have been a collar. I don't know where
they were. It wasn't in the Blue Ridge mountains, so
they were somewhere where. It was a mountain drive, and
(20:07):
I'm not sure it was like a beautiful time of
the year for the foliage, but they happened to be.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
On a mountain drive.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
And my dad says, you know, because they're viewing, they're
looking at all the beautiful, you know, scenery and they
got passed by, like, you know, ten motorcycles because they
were in at that point, they were in one of
those Westphilia Volkswagen camper bugs the van because they would
go camping and sometimes they would spend a night in
(20:32):
the hotel a lot of times. Sometimes it's spend a
night at the camper or whatever. Anyway, so he said,
like another ten or fifteen motorcycles passed us whenever it
got they got us straight away, and then like another
ten of fifteen, and he said, at one point I
looked at the riverview mirror because I've been looking at
you know, how beautiful is in the mountains. There was
like three hundred motorcycles behind him. He hadn't noticed so
(20:56):
further down if there was some motor I guess it
was one of those poker ro So they pulled over
at this place to get you know, I don't know,
launch or whatever, and the guys are mostcycles. Tartops said,
you know, you know you're you're enjoying the motorcycle ride.
And my Dad's like, yeah, I didn't realize I was
going to be in the middle of all that. And
he said, we'll be sure and go online at whatever
it's called and you'll there's there's a lot of pictures
(21:18):
that will be posted.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
We have people posted, oh this was like in the
era of online. Yes, oh okay, I was thinking this
is back in the nineteen hundred. No no, no, no, no,
no no.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
So sure enough, there's a photo my mom showed me
one of them. There's a photocycles it's like seven hundred motorcyclist.
Right in the middle of is this green Volkswagen camper.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
That's great, that's awesome. And those bikers still remember it
to this day. Sure they talk about it to this day.
Remember that old couple, it's gracious, part of the yang.
It's got to get him a vest.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
That's one of the most interesting trips ever been. Yeah,
rode for like thirty miles with the motorcycle Gang.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
We've got Pops rush one of those motorcycle vests put
in his van. That's cool.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I do like going to the mountains. I need to go.
I need to take Sally. Can't go this weekend because
David's going to go to Nashville, so we're babysitting all weekend.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Well, and plus we got Oklahoma this weekend.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yeah, I don't want to. I don't want to miss that.
I do like going to Cashiers because you can watch it,
especially you get a Saturday Sunday, Yeah, and you get
to watch all the football outlook and one of those
one of those airbnbs looking over the mountains.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Mm hm, that's beautiful. Well, we'll see if other people
agree or is it overrated? By the way, ask your
dad did he really enjoy going and looking at the
leaves or was he just did it? Like I wouldn't
do it by myself. I would only do it if
Angela was with me, because she enjoys it so much.
You know, exact question I'll ask. That's one of those
things where like she was like, you don't love the
(22:48):
leave I'm like, I do like them, but I would
never do this on my own. It's like half the
TV shows we watched. I would never watch these shows
on my own. I enjoy them, though, because I enjoy
watching you enjoy that.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Well, I know that's true because if I were not
married to Sally and I had a free weekend, I
go to the beach. Yeah, but she'll won't go to
the mountains, So okay, we'll go to the mountains.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Do you enjoy that when you're in the mountains with her.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I think once I get there, I like it. Yeah,
I'm not going to push back too hard.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I laugh so much when I'm with her, and she's
just you know, she's just being her and I find
her funny. So I like that. But anyway, all those
stories and more tomorrow, about about six o'clock or so,
we'll get into it. Six point thirty, we got the
winning starting.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Sally almost laughed. Made me laugh out loud. Yesterday, so
I stayed up way too late watching football. Then I
stayed way too late watching the football reviews because you
got to find out what else happened in the sec. Oh,
then you see Clemson one. Now I got to find
out what's going on with the ACC. Now I'm watching
Sports Center. I mean, you got a game going on.
The other game was going on till eleven o'clock.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Tima finally went to bed, but the next morning, I'm
sitting in church and for the life of me, I
can't stay awake.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Yeah, I'm not didn't have your priority straight. She keeps
sleaning it over and not with her shoulder and just
kind of making sure.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
And I'm already awake, but she's doing it like every
thirty seconds.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
She just keeps doing it.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I'm like, cut it that now, I'm awake. I'm awake
now because you're doing it. Everybody near me knows that
he's falling asleep. Yeah, his wife keeps having a prodden
to keep him awake.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
I shut off the game Cocks when the uh the
field goal went through with about what two and a
half minutes left, I think that was about eleven oh two.
I shut off the game something like that, and according
to my watch, I was asleep by eleven oh eight. Yeah,
so it didn't take me long. So I was able
to get a nice like seven hours or so before church.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Okay, hey, what's going on in your neighborhood. You're gonna
do a little leaf watching? What do you call that?
Leaf watching?
Speaker 1 (24:55):
They've called it leaf peeping, which makes me feel dirty.
I'm gonna do a little leaf peeping. Sounds dirty?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Leaf peeping. Yeah, you're doing some leaf but I think
my mom calling that. My mom might have called it that.
What do you what do you do? You doing some
leaf peeping? What you're doing over there? What you got schedule?
You're going to go over for a peepers weekend. Leaf
peeping doesn't like this does sound like you're trying to
get You're looking through a keyhole, Yeah, trying to.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Get Let the catch you. You're peeping, you're leaf peeping.
I think there was.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
That's funny because I remember one time, I think Janey
must have been about a year and a half old,
and we went somewhere into the mountains and we were
we ended up like near the top of a mountain,
all by ourselves. It wasn't a park. I think we
were just lost riding around in the mountains. But I
remember going up a dirt road to get there because
I thought this looks fun. Let's go up the dirt road.
(25:50):
And we ended up in a creek. It was a
beautiful day. Sun was shining. Of course you're in the creeks.
You don't have tree cover right over the creek. Sun
shining down the ward was the perfect temperature. And somehow
I end up in the creek with Janey, okay, because
she just loves the babbling brook.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
It was. It was.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
It was one of the most well, I think it's
one of my most fun afternoons as a dad.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Oh just came out of nowhere. I ended up getting
in the creek with her. Didn't have any anticipation of
that happening.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
It way, No, we end up both button naked in
the creek up in the mountains, and I thought I
heard I remember now, I thought I heard somebody on them.
Maybe we should get Maybe this is private property. We're
out here in this guy's creek.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
A shotgun. Two weirdos, get out of my water.
Speaker 2 (26:38):

Hello, Kelly Nash, Good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Let us chit and chat about what we're going to
do tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
It's a great name for a morning show. Chit and chat. Yeah,

in traffic tomorrow morning. Listening to the Morning Rush.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Yeah, hopefully y'all enjoying your day off if you got one.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I saw Tumbleweed on his way out. And by the way,
I've come up with a new name for the cats
we have. And we mentioned this before. We have a
feral cat colony now here and I heard Columbia rather disgusting.
So they're getting They're getting pretty brave now, Kelly. They
will block the door. Yeah, So Tumblewee was trying to
get out and I yelled out, get back Honky Cat.
(00:52):
Now the irony is that he's all black. Now going
back to Archie Bunker Skital the family, get back Honky
Cat living at iHeart ain't where it's at. I guess
it is for them because Mark keeps feeding them. Yes,
one of my dedicated employees comes in on Saturday and
(01:12):
Sunday morning to feed the cat.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
He's here today. Office is closed, he's here today. He
is here today. Does he also feed the fish? Yes?
Why doesn't he feed the fish to the cat and
the cats across the streets?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I thought if I poisoned the fish and he threw
one to the cat, then it would kill the cat.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
That's the two for winner.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
There you go, that's my strategy.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Now that he's heard it, do you think Usnce does?
Probably not.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
No, No, he listens only to political talk and he
goes deep in the deep dark webs. He's the webkeeper.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Is he one of those conspiracy guys? He's gotta be.
But how funny would it be if you actually did
a conspiracy against him and his cats? And then because
everybody knows he's a conspiracy theorist? Oh no, then nobody
would believe him because he despect Is it kind of
like Trump put fluoride in all the water to kill
the kids or something? I mean, what are you talking about,
Donald Jonathan Rush poisoned a fish, you'd feed it to
(02:07):
the cat and then it killed the cat. Okay, come on,
but he said it on his podcast.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
If it's on the internet to day true, if it's
in the deep dart webs, now we're talking, that's where
you get the truth.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Well, you know, you can also get the truth on
the Morning Rush blog where tomorrow morning we're going to
be playing. What you're talking about. The word of the
day is not trusty, but fusty.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Fusty, Yes, fusty and not busty.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
You're gonna make it. It's not busty.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
It's not where associations always go to. Something not rusty, husty,
not busty, but fusty.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yeah, what does fusty mean? I have no idea. Smelling
damp and stale is fusty interesting, almost like musty, kind
of like musty, but not quite fusty. So you get
that damp stale smell that is fusty. That's the word
of the day. You know it. You're gonna win South
(03:03):
Carolina State Fair tickets and ride passes. It's four tickets
to get you in two ride vouchers. They call it
the Harvest Bundle. When it are on six thirty tomorrow morning.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Get fusty at Concrete National Park.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Kenny Chesney gave Megan Maroney a birthday gift. I guess
it was her birthday. This past weekend or Thursday was
the birthday. And I'm sure Meghan Maroney got a lot
of great birthday gifts, but one that she really wanted
to brag about is Kenny Chesney gave her a nineteen
eighty four Hummingbird acoustic guitar. I have no idea what
that even means. I know what an acoustic guitar means.
(03:38):
I don't know what the Hummingbird? Why is it? So
apparently nineteen it is like wine. I believe nineteen eighty
four was the best year ever for the Hummingbird.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I believe the humming Bird was actually made by Taylor Guitars.
I could be wrong on that. I think it's a
special tailor guitar.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
But apparently that's like a seven thousand dollars purchase, I
believe by the nineteen eighty four one. But then he
went and got it a step further. This is one
that he had received as a gift. I guess he
gifted it from Dolly Parton. Oh my gosh, I autographed it.
What he gave it away to her? So she's like,
I can't believe that. I have this incredible guitar and
it's autographed by my hero, and you give the best
(04:14):
gifts ever was the best gift you've ever given or received.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I don't know why, but I tell you, when I
tell you this, Kelly, You're gonna laugh, okay at me
as a youngster. And I believe it was my sixth
birthday party.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I don't know why, but my mom allowed us to
invite kids on our sixth birthday party. But it was
like the only big birthday party we had when you
turn six, all right, on other birthdays you can invite
a friend, but in this case, I had several and
somebody and I can't remember her.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Guy.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I think it was Chuck. I think Chuck gave me
the complete Batman out fit. I had the cape, the mask. Now,
this is the nineteen sixties television show Batman that we
watched in the afternoons, Pow Yes Bang, the original with Robin.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I heard somebody else sports.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
And to make a reference to Robin the other day,
and I'm like, brother, you're proving years old as I am.
He made a Batman reference to Robin.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Do they not have Robin anymore?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I haven't got no no, Robin went Bye bye Batman
and Robin.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
There was rumors that they were like Burton Ernie.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
There was a lot better as of Dorothy.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
As they would say, they always choose the cave. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I had the complete outfit and that was one of
my one of my best gifts as a child.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Anyway, And I really haven't.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Received anything as a birthday as an adult birthday gift, we.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Didn't get like a ten thousand dollars gift like Kenny
Jesney gave.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
No, I didn't. I've never I'm sure that would stick.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Out, that would be a memorable gift.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I'm remembering birthdays now and I'm thinking of interesting gifts,
but none of them like that.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I remember this is this is like a sad story,
but you can mock. Before my sadness, I had a
stepfather and it was not a good relationship with my stepfather,
but I was always trying to repair.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
It just dawned on me you were actually a red
headed stepchild.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, and that has never dawned on me before. Oh
you're the infamous red headed stepchild.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Who was beaten like a red headed stepchild. Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
We were living out the adage that we all referenced
in comedic nature.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, so I was always trying to as I got older,
because I stood up to him, like physically when I
was like sixteen and said, you lay another hand on me,
I will bust your head. So that kind of really chilled.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
The relationship moving forward, he reassessed the situation. Yeah, previously
I had just taken maybe right. I had taken those
beatings with out question and sulk into the corner. But
then as I realized I was sixteen, I'm like, I'm
as big as him, if not bigger, and I'm stronger
than him. I'm sure because he's like forty and I'm sixteen,
So I can definitely whoop that tail now.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
And he's a drunk, and he was a drunk. It
was coordinations not there.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah. Yeah, when he was drunk, he was stumbling, and
so I can now easily take this guy. So once
I kind of put my foot down. The last year
or so that he lived at the house, it was
pretty pretty daston. But then after I got older, you know,
I was like nineteen twenty, you know, I'm thinking, well,
you know, he's still in our lives, he lives down
the street. I should try to be nice, and I
(07:39):
would try to be nice and he would try to
be nice. And so I was working on that relationship.
And so one year for Christmas, when I was like
twenty one, twenty two something like that, he had mentioned
how what he really needed with some new dishes, And
now you know, I was making I don't want to
say nothing. I was like I was on the radio
(08:01):
full time, I think, but it was so little. I
still had a part time job.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I mean, it was like, were you still working at
the restaurant where you were washing dishes?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
You know, No, that was my first job. That was
my first kid, and I was a waiter. Then I
worked at American Airlines. I was doing all kinds of
crazy jobs. Burlington Cot Factory anyway, the dishes, you know,
we'll say nineteen eighty seven dollars was something like two
hundred dollars okay for the dishes, and that was like
probably more than a week's pay for me, you know,
(08:30):
to come up with this. But I really wanted to
make a big impression on it. On Christmas, so I
go out, save all my money, blah blah blah, buy
the dishes, come over to the house. It's all wrapped
up in the dishes, and now he had reconnected with
his He had six children before me, okay, right that
(08:51):
those were biological children, one of them who was actually
named after him. The Junior has become one of the
most successful businessman in America. He was the CFO at Pepsi,
he was the CEO at Office Smacks. He was doing
incredible work. This guy was rich.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Well. By the time I arrived, they had already opened
up Junior's Christmas gift. Junior had had a cashmere overcoat
custom made to fit him perfectly, with his name embroidered
on the inside of it, custom made and all this
this jacket is like three thousand dollars. Sure, And then
(09:36):
I give him the dishes and he's like, oh, these
are great, But to just see what I got over here,
I mean, can you believe this coat? And I just
remember sitting there like like.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I busted my ass for a week to buy you
these dishes because you needed them.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Not as nice as the coat. I bet that did hurt.
And I'm sure that the I'm sure that the guy
who bought the coat, I mean, it was nothing for
him to buy the three thousand I mean again figuratively
I mean just dollars to dollars. His gift. It was
ten times more valuable, if not more of mine. But
he didn't. He didn't miss a meal, he didn't do
anything like that. I didn't, And I just remember saying,
you know what, I'm not going big on holidays anymore.
(10:10):
No more big holiday gifts. We're not good. We're not
going big on the gifts. Because that why am I
in a competition? There's not It's not supposed to be
a competition. The whole idea is lost if you're making
it a competition. So I learned a valuable lesson that day.
I hope Kenny Chesney does not regret giving away his
Dolly Parton autographed guitar someday trying to win Megan Moroney's affections.
He's not going to Now.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
How do you think Dolly Parton feels about finding out
you regifted a gift?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Well, she's on her deathbed, so it doesn't really matter, right,
Dolly's not dying. Also on the Morning Rush blog, how
long do Americans hang on to their phones? Because, like
the ads make you feel like we buy a new
phone every year? Great, do you get a new one? Right?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I have been holding out. Kelly knows that I don't
really like to spend money. Well to say that, think
about all the stupid stuff I spend the money. I
don't like to spend money on myself. But I need
to get a new phone. And I'm going to have
to get a new phone now because for whatever reason,
I've tried, and I've tried, maybe you know the answer,
but the volume on my speakerphone is like diminished. And
(11:19):
I've cleaned it, I've done all the I've googled it,
I've done all the things so I should be to
do to be able to hear it, and it's gotten
so bad. Now if we were to call somebody the
speakerphone and they called me, I said, you got to
call your mom.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
She can't hear you on my phone. My speakerphone isn't working.
So we call her on Sally speakerphone, which sounds pretty
much like the DAMNPA system that will at the Willie b.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
That's another Calora.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It is loud, but I'm gonna have to buy a
new phone.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Well. It's interesting because the average American now hangs on
to their cell phones five years, two months. That's the
average I've had this one at least a decade. The phones.
According to The New York Times, this story came out
May fifteenth, twenty twenty four. Smartphones are designed to last
(12:09):
a maximum of seven years. So when you buy a smartphone,
recognize it should be dead in six Yes, it's supposed
to die in six that's that's the maximum life is
six years. So when you drop one thousand dollars and
then you average that out over the years, you're looking
(12:29):
at well, for about two hundred dollars a year to
own the phone, plus the phone bill of whatever it is,
sixty to one hundred dollars a month or whatever it is.
So you're paying one thousand dollars a year on top
of the two hundred dollars a year. So it's twelve
hundred dollars a year to own a cell phone. Roughly.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
It's done on though me, I'm really good at taking
care of stuff. Because I've had my phone for like
a decade and my print my printer won't work and
it says it's the print head problem, and I look
that up Saturday, and then I looked up somehow I
got into a thread of how long should an HP printer.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Last it said three to five years.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I know I've had that printer for a decade, but
nonetheless I'm trying to.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Well and you're your printer. So going back to my
stepdad again, continuing to work on that relationship. He's dead now,
but tried to work on that relationship for the rest
of my life. The rest of his life. I would
go visit him in Orlando, that's where he retired. Had
a trailer and he had a washer dryer, and he
one day was celebrating the fact that he had such
(13:35):
an old washer dryer that when he called the was
it Whirlpool? Is that the ones I can't remember the
brand name. The guy showed up and was kind of like, yeah,
I understand he got a problem, blah blah blah. And
he came in. He said. The guy's face lit up
what he saw it. Now, this would have been around
two thousand and eight. I'm guessing that he goes, oh
my god, this this thing's like twenty years old. I
(13:57):
can work on this. And he goes, what do you
talk about it? And he says, anything made after two
thousand and two is designed to make it more expensive
to repair it than it is to replace it. That's
actually in the design so that all these you know,
breakdowns right now, we show up and we'll look at
it and they go, oh, well, that's going to take
the motherboard. The motherboard is six hundred dollars. A new
(14:18):
one of these is five hundred, right, what do you
want to do? And so everybody goes and buy He's
a new one, right, He's like, but this one. I
can fix this one for like thirty dollars because it's
got a part in there that I can fix. So
they've designed it. But you might have one of those
old printers that was designed before they actually thought of
the idea of we got to make it break every
four years.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
It's been the hell of a printer HP. Yeah, sixty
eight thirty. It's a great printer. If you can find one,
maybe I.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Should go online look for him, because Angelas always seems
to be breaking down and she's dropped a lot of
money on that printer. I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
And here's the thing though, but you went I went
about a ten dollars can of contact cleaner Saturday at
home depot. Now, if I fix it, I'm gonna already
the drawback on HP printers. The cartridges are real expensive,
but they're good printers. They get great reviews. Well, I know,
if I buy the all of the three colors and
(15:12):
the black and white, which it will need, or the
black printer, just the cartridges, I'm gonna spend like sixty
seventy dollars. Well, I've already looked at the new printer
that will replace this one, the sixty one hundred series.
I can get it on sale right now for one
hundred and twenty bucks. So why did I even buy
the ten dollar can of contact cleaner to go with
(15:34):
what's going to be a seventy dollars replacement of cartridges?
And I'm not even sure I can even get it
to work yet. I should have spent the extra fifty
bucks and bought a new one, which is probably what
I'll end up doing. I'm not buying the cartridges if
the print head won't line up.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Wow. Well, I mean we'll get into all those types
of questions tomorrow. And finally, Jonathan, you know I just
mentioned that I did this on Saturday. We drove all
the way to North Carolina, drove up to the mountain
to go to I think it's called Jeter mountain farms
and the apple picking and all that. And we certainly
weren't alone. There were thousands of people there. It was
a big stinking deal.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Mister Jeter was happy.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, And I enjoyed the actual driving part. I enjoyed being, like,
you know, on the Blue Ridge Parkway and all that
sort of stuff, looking at the mountains as the leaves
spectacularly turn into orange and red and all these other
vibrant colors that they have for you. Yep. But the
question is made. And I'm not going to use the
(16:31):
term here because I don't like the term that our
friend doctor Dave used when poising the question. But is
just driving to the mountains in order to watch the
leaves change? Is that overrated? Is that? Is that really?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I remember when you were a kid, your mom and
dad would ragon, well, you were living in Vermont. I mean,
it's beautiful there.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Well, no, my mom and dad when we lived in Connecticut,
my mom and dad would say, we're going to the
more mountain areas of Connecticut. Yeah, to look at and
by the way, people from Vermont. It's funny, Vermont's only
one hundred miles from my house. It's like the difference
between Greenville and Columbia between Hartford and Brattleboro, Vermont or something.
But the people in Vermont called all the people from
Connecticut flatlanders. You flatlanders because we don't have real mountains
(17:18):
in Connecticut. Vermont has the real mountains.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Gotcha.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
But you know, I remember being Saturdays or Sundays, particularly
after church, we would have to go and see the mountains,
see the leaves. My mom loved it. I don't know
that he gave a crap, but I certainly did not
give two poots about it. And I just remember thinking,
I am missing out on either a playing football right
now watching football.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
We're in the back of a car. I'm getting car sick.
We're going around the mountains. I hated it as a kid. Yes,
it's a whole lot easier when you're driving, but you.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Don't even do that now rightwhere.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, I got in trouble just driving to church the
other morning, that's like five minutes. Almost pulled over and
let her drive, But she likes to be dropped off
at the front.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Also, she'll let you drive to drop her to the church.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I get to drive to church on the way home.
Does she drive yesterday?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
She did?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Yes, that's hysterical. So do you guys go and look
at the mountain leaves.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
She mentioned the other day that she liked to go
back to she loves the mountains.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I'm much rather go to the beach. She loves the mountains.
I like the mountains once I get.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
There, but it is a little bit of a drive.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I had a Yeah, when the kids are little, we
go to the mountains, have a great time, go to
the Maggi Valley and do all that stuff. Now we
never went as far as Gatlinburg and did the you know,
had the toffee and all that stuff. It's nice up there,
go to slide and rock all that craziness.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Oh it's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Yeah, it's a beautiful time of the year to go
up to the mountains.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I like. It's not I it's it's a great investment
for a day or a weekend. It's a wonderful thing
to do. I think it's just admiring God's creation is
always a good way. Sure, beautiful in my estimation. You're
looking at a big mountain, or you're looking at a
big canyon, or you're looking at a rushing river. Whatever
(19:19):
you're looking at. I like to look at that and contemplate,
wo how did God come up with this? What was
he thinking here? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I mean, and you go up there, if you go
to the right time of the year, I think this
is probably be a good time of the year because
the water won't be too cold.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Oh you can get in the water.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yeah, you can get in the water, go down sliding
rock or whatever.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Nice. It won't be too too cold. So you and
I see it the same way. Not an overrated experience,
going to look at the going look at the foliage.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
But my mom and dad loved it. And I forgotten
where they were. I need to look this up because
I remember seeing a photo of it. It's just hysterical.
So they were somewhere and God knows it could have been.
It could have been a collar. I don't know where
they were. It wasn't in the Blue Ridge mountains, so
they were somewhere where. It was a mountain drive, and
(20:07):
I'm not sure it was like a beautiful time of
the year for the foliage, but they happened to be.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
On a mountain drive.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
And my dad says, you know, because they're viewing, they're
looking at all the beautiful, you know, scenery and they
got passed by, like, you know, ten motorcycles because they
were in at that point, they were in one of
those Westphilia Volkswagen camper bugs the van because they would
go camping and sometimes they would spend a night in
(20:32):
the hotel a lot of times. Sometimes it's spend a
night at the camper or whatever. Anyway, so he said,
like another ten or fifteen motorcycles passed us whenever it
got they got us straight away, and then like another
ten of fifteen, and he said, at one point I
looked at the riverview mirror because I've been looking at
you know, how beautiful is in the mountains. There was
like three hundred motorcycles behind him. He hadn't noticed so
(20:56):
further down if there was some motor I guess it
was one of those poker ro So they pulled over
at this place to get you know, I don't know,
launch or whatever, and the guys are mostcycles. Tartops said,
you know, you know you're you're enjoying the motorcycle ride.
And my Dad's like, yeah, I didn't realize I was
going to be in the middle of all that. And
he said, we'll be sure and go online at whatever
it's called and you'll there's there's a lot of pictures
(21:18):
that will be posted.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
We have people posted, oh this was like in the
era of online. Yes, oh okay, I was thinking this
is back in the nineteen hundred. No no, no, no, no,
no no.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
So sure enough, there's a photo my mom showed me
one of them. There's a photocycles it's like seven hundred motorcyclist.
Right in the middle of is this green Volkswagen camper.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
That's great, that's awesome. And those bikers still remember it
to this day. Sure they talk about it to this day.
Remember that old couple, it's gracious, part of the yang.
It's got to get him a vest.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
That's one of the most interesting trips ever been. Yeah,
rode for like thirty miles with the motorcycle Gang.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
We've got Pops rush one of those motorcycle vests put
in his van. That's cool.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I do like going to the mountains. I need to go.
I need to take Sally. Can't go this weekend because
David's going to go to Nashville, so we're babysitting all weekend.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Well, and plus we got Oklahoma this weekend.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yeah, I don't want to. I don't want to miss that.
I do like going to Cashiers because you can watch it,
especially you get a Saturday Sunday, Yeah, and you get
to watch all the football outlook and one of those
one of those airbnbs looking over the mountains.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Mm hm, that's beautiful. Well, we'll see if other people
agree or is it overrated? By the way, ask your
dad did he really enjoy going and looking at the
leaves or was he just did it? Like I wouldn't
do it by myself. I would only do it if
Angela was with me, because she enjoys it so much.
You know, exact question I'll ask. That's one of those
things where like she was like, you don't love the
(22:48):
leave I'm like, I do like them, but I would
never do this on my own. It's like half the
TV shows we watched. I would never watch these shows
on my own. I enjoy them, though, because I enjoy
watching you enjoy that.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Well, I know that's true because if I were not
married to Sally and I had a free weekend, I
go to the beach. Yeah, but she'll won't go to
the mountains, So okay, we'll go to the mountains.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Do you enjoy that when you're in the mountains with her.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I think once I get there, I like it. Yeah,
I'm not going to push back too hard.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I laugh so much when I'm with her, and she's
just you know, she's just being her and I find
her funny. So I like that. But anyway, all those
stories and more tomorrow, about about six o'clock or so,
we'll get into it. Six point thirty, we got the
winning starting.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Sally almost laughed. Made me laugh out loud. Yesterday, so
I stayed up way too late watching football. Then I
stayed way too late watching the football reviews because you
got to find out what else happened in the sec. Oh,
then you see Clemson one. Now I got to find
out what's going on with the ACC. Now I'm watching
Sports Center. I mean, you got a game going on.
The other game was going on till eleven o'clock.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Tima finally went to bed, but the next morning, I'm
sitting in church and for the life of me, I
can't stay awake.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Yeah, I'm not didn't have your priority straight. She keeps
sleaning it over and not with her shoulder and just
kind of making sure.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
And I'm already awake, but she's doing it like every
thirty seconds.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
She just keeps doing it.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I'm like, cut it that now, I'm awake. I'm awake
now because you're doing it. Everybody near me knows that
he's falling asleep. Yeah, his wife keeps having a prodden
to keep him awake.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
I shut off the game Cocks when the uh the
field goal went through with about what two and a
half minutes left, I think that was about eleven oh two.
I shut off the game something like that, and according
to my watch, I was asleep by eleven oh eight. Yeah,
so it didn't take me long. So I was able
to get a nice like seven hours or so before church.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Okay, hey, what's going on in your neighborhood. You're gonna
do a little leaf watching? What do you call that?
Leaf watching?

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Get Let the catch you. You're peeping, you're leaf peeping.
I think there was.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
That's funny because I remember one time, I think Janey
must have been about a year and a half old,
and we went somewhere into the mountains and we were
we ended up like near the top of a mountain,
all by ourselves. It wasn't a park. I think we
were just lost riding around in the mountains. But I
remember going up a dirt road to get there because
I thought this looks fun. Let's go up the dirt road.
(25:50):
And we ended up in a creek. It was a
beautiful day. Sun was shining. Of course you're in the creeks.
You don't have tree cover right over the creek. Sun
shining down the ward was the perfect temperature. And somehow
I end up in the creek with Janey, okay, because
she just loves the babbling brook.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
It was. It was.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
It was one of the most well, I think it's
one of my most fun afternoons as a dad.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Oh just came out of nowhere. I ended up getting
in the creek with her. Didn't have any anticipation of
that happening.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
It way, No, we end up both button naked in
the creek up in the mountains, and I thought I
heard I remember now, I thought I heard somebody on them.
Maybe we should get Maybe this is private property. We're
