Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Killing Nash.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Good Morning.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Tomorrow is going to be Humpday where he'll be in
the slap dab in the middle of October the fifteenth.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Wednesday, so just sixteen days from Halloween.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
We have a Morning Russier regular who's got a problem
regarding Halloween. Jonathan. He is I'm guessing a younger individual.
I don't know if he's still in high school or not,
but he's got a new girlfriend, but he says he
frightens easy. And the girlfriend is very excited about the

(00:33):
Haunted House season and wants to go to some of
those scary haunted houses. And not only does he not
want to go because he doesn't like being scared, but
he's also very concerned about if I go, how is
she going to respond when I freaking freak out?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Exactly?

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Some guy with a chainsaw on a mask is like
right in my face, and I'm like, ah.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Hey, the first thing he had to do for you.
If you decide to do that, you got to go
to the porta party right before where you go in,
because you can't come out of there with a wet crotch.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Any liquid that comes out of you is a problem.
So what would you tell him. I mean, I mean,
because he's right, your girl is gonna think a lot
less of you. But also, uh, you don't want to
be scared if you're one of those people. Most When
I was a kid, we didn't have scary haunted houses.
We had haunted houses that were comical. Now they're actually

(01:26):
trying to scare you. Oh yes, absolutely, there are some
of them.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Not all. We put our hands like a in a.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
In a buket, a pudding or something with.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Warm water with grapes in it. They would tell you
those are eyeballs, stuff like that, a little fun things. Yeah,
I tell you how you play this because I've been
in that situation before. Okay, I'm not necessarily scared of it,
but I couldn't come off looking like I was scared.
You're gonna walk into a place and their job is
to scare you, So you don't know what is coming,
what it's going to be, You don't know what is

(01:55):
going to happen. You know what's gonna happen, So you
go in knowing. As soon as you are frightened by anything,
overplay it, overplay it like you're part of it, Like
you're part of the joke. Okay, So like if a
skeleton pops out with an axe in his hand, he guy, yeah,
you grab him and try to choke him. You know,

(02:15):
you just just play along with it. You got to
overplay it, like you knew it was going to happen,
and you were actually now trying to scare the people
that were scaring you.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
But I got to do this twenty more times. Oh yeah,
because it is non stop. I mean it's like forty
minutes of just terror in these places. I would be
honest with her. I would say look, and I wouldn't
say I'm like a pansy. I would say, I do
not enjoy haunted houses. I get the fact that you do,
and that's awesome. I think you and your girlfriends ought

(02:44):
to go together and have a big time. That's not
something that I'm into. It's kind of like if she's
not into football, I'm like, my I didn't know this
when I was dating her, but I now know that
my wife does not like football.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
I didn't know Sally didn't like fishing. She went fishing
with me.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yes, Angela. I wish she had been more honest earlier
in the relationship. Football.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
I'm like a damn bram out here.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
So you didn't love fishing and she did, but she did. Yes,
she hooked me to just be honest about it, said, look,
I don't like fishing, I don't like football, I don't
like haunted houses.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Because if you play along with this, this is, this
will be and you end up marrying this individual that
you'll be you're on the hook for the rest of
your life.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
You know that's a great point.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Just be honest.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
You know, when I was going back to my dating,
thinking about dating, I only had to like cover the
next ten hours.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
That's all I had to get through.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, I wasn't looking forward to a long lasting relationship.
That's good.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Did you act like you liked shopping back in those days?
Oh totally, Well, I can't wait. Let's go to the mall.
Let's find you something cute tonight.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Especially that store of Victoria's secret school in there.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Okay, She's like, all right, we're not even shopping there.
Every weekend. You got to go to eight with the
big ones like H and M or I'm and Fitch.
I don't even know if that existed back in the day,
but you had to do all that, All of it
must be done. So well, we'll see what the Morning
Russell regulars have advice for this individual. Maybe it's a
little bit different than ours. If you want to win

(04:12):
tickets to the State Fair. Do they have a haunted
They do have a haunted house ride that I've been on.
I remember me and Darcy Strickland road it years ago.
But there's many things that you can experience at the
South Carolina State Fair. We're giving away a harvest bundle
tomorrow morning about six thirty. That's four admission passes to
ride vouchers. Once you're talking about the word of the day, approbation, approbation.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Approbation, I know what this is. Okay, it's like it's
like a. It's a. It's a it's a congratulates, a praise,
it's a it's a it's a a celebration moment. It's approbation.
Could be right before an encore because you're applauding. You're
going nuts.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah, answer is just approval approval.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Okay, Well I could have gone with that, but the
word was coming to mind.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Approval is the approbation?

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Is this the official answer on the Morning Russian? Yeah,
it's a fancy and stammering in there with my answer. No,
it'd be funny if they actually had to read my answer.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
It could be like, you know, like when there's like
a you know, you're applauding and things. Yeah. Yeah, So
it's like miss teen South Carolina. Why is it that
many people can't read maps?

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Oh, it changed the contest to babble like Jonathan.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Well, you compete for the miss teen South Carolina. We
have that in the such as, and the such as.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Love the such ass. By the way, we have peace
in the such as for the first time in the
history of man. The such ass is celebrating peace today
in the Middle East. I don't know if you.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Knew that I was going to I'm going to save
it till when the uh is to the end of
the war between Afghanistan and uh US. I keep on
to call the USSR Soviet Union Russia when Russia and
that when that war is wrapped up, I will then

(05:58):
say Donald Trump has now lived every beauty queen's dream
and brought world peace.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
He finally did it.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Was it eight wars that have ended since he got
so far. I didn't even know that there was like
six of those eight were even happening.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah, this. You know, you don't even see the coverage
on that, because I remember seeing one when I was
like twenty or twenty two years old. I wasn't twenty
one and know that I was twenty or twenty two,
you know I'm talking about. But there was a shot
of a civil war going on somewhere in a work
tone third world country. And another thing I saw was
a guy in a foxhole with a pistol. He was
holding it up like you know, over his head, not

(06:35):
looking and just firing. And I'm like, this is why
the war's going on forever. It's been years since anybody died.
You guys are just firing finally.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
And what they need is some target practice. Let's help
these people and their war. By the way, Alec Baldwin
apparently was in a very serious car accident yesterday. He's
now speaking about it on Instagram. But both him and
his brother on Monday, apparently we're driving in the Hampton's

(07:08):
and according to him, they were driving his wife. Do
you pronounce her name? I know her name is Hillary,
but do you pronounce it Hilaria? Hilaraiya.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
She's dancing with the stars right now.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
I don't know. Yeah, she is could be because she's
not a star, so it's perfect for dancing with the stars.
Who has never had a star. They were driving her
range Rover in the Hamptons on Monday when, according to him,
quote a large garbage truck are their smaller garbage trucks.
A large garbage truck caused him to veer off the
road and hit a tree.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
In other words, he was texting his wife and not
watching where he was driving. Is about to rear in
a garbage truck, and he ran on the ditch. Just
tell the truth, ally.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
So to avoid hitting him. I hit the tree. My
wife's vehicle is totaled after hitting quote that big fat tree.
Quick check in with the emergency room. Both me and
my brother will be fine, and we're now heading to
Los Angeles to see our family.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
So put the phone down, Alex boy, you just threw
that out there. Put the phone down. Can you throw
us off? A constant praise? He has to have what's
our word of the day again?

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Let me go back to it. Appropriation not appropriation. Uh no,
that's yesterday's that's fusty. I remember yesterday's word, fusty. Tomorrow's
word again is going to be approbation, approbation.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
He has to have constant approbation on his phone through
his social media accounts and or personal text messages from
his wife or others, to go every fifteen seconds.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Probation. Then all right, we're writing songs. TRYLEC. Baldwin on
the morning Rush. Also, what else did we have going
on for tomorrow? Jonathan? By the did you know so
I know you meant You've mentioned this before that when
you buy the Halloween candy it never makes it to Halloween.

(09:09):
But according to this a survey of two thousand adults,
the twenty six percent of Americans say that they have
to restock their Halloween supply on average three or more
times before Halloween. So they buy the Halloween candy like

(09:29):
right about, you know, like a week ago.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
But you gotta buy it when it first gets on
the shelf because you're fearful that it's gonna run out.
You got to get the ones you love.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
And then that has gone totally you go back and
rebuy it again.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Oh, thank goodness, they restock the shelves. There's some more.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
I ate my way through that one.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
I call the kid cats are gone? Honey, what happened?

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Hopefully, the third time holds, but for some of them
it's four and five times. You're going through pounds of
candy every week.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Well, I don't buy the bag with the butterfingers anymore
because they're not good. That's the trick of hollow. It
is the butterfinger bar. It sucks. Thanks a lot, England,
something else.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
You screwed up. Fifty five percent of Americans say they
don't trust themselves, so they will not buy the Halloween
candy till at least forty eight hours before Halloween.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
We would not have any Halloween candy until right before Halloween.
But because we had a big event, family event here
in town, we had guests coming by. So Sally had
bought Halloween candy for decoration and for guest pleasures and
test pleasures. I ate my way through. What was my

(10:36):
favorite of the bag was the Almond Joy, not the mounds.
I don't like the dark chocolate, the Almond Joy. I
ate all of those, and then I started working on
the kit kats.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Was there no more guest pleasures?

Speaker 1 (10:49):
The guest left me plenty. Well, according to this now
she has not restocked it. What makes Halloween special? Not surprising?
The majority say candy. Forty two percent of Americans say
it's candy, which it seems like, well, then you could
just have you could have specialness all year round. Twenty
seven percent say it's the costumes. Twenty three percent say

(11:11):
it's just the general fall atmosphere. The twenty one percent
of the ones that creep me out. I like spooky vibes. No,
I don't like the spooky vibes. I don't like the skeletons.
I'm not a huge fan of a hunt of houses,
but I will go in one because I'm not going
to be afraid of it. I do not carry my
pistol in case you're wondering.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Well that could that would be a recipe for disaster.
Jonathan Rush armed and scared. Yeah, you know, and we're
shooting some teenage actor.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Do not want to have that muscle memory reflex. Don't
don't do that. But instead I carry the holster with
the almond Joy in.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
It, so you pull an almond Joy on us and
then I eat it.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
So but if you I'm in it in Halloween, I'm
in it just for the kids. Once you get to
be thirteen, if you want to dress up, okay, you
can have some candy. Hopefully you're escorting some younger kids
around the block. I'm all in it for the little kids,
and that's it. I don't want the skeletons, you know.
And I granted, I openly admit and have told you before,
I love it. I do like to crank up the chainsaw.

(12:12):
But it's for the kids. They seem to love it.
There's screams of joy.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
That's joy that they're expressing.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
Most young kids don't even understand the danger of a chainsaw,
so they don't get it. They just think it's loud.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
And that's scary in itself. Yes, I remember being scared
to death as a youngster, we'll say eight nine years old.
There was a school that I started going to in
sixth grade. But before I was old enough to go
to that school, everybody in my neighborhood knew that behind
that school was like the best trails. Like if you

(12:47):
wanted to go walking in the woods, there was a
great pond that you could explore, and just a lot
of fun things to do out in the woods. You
could build a fort, that sort of thing. Sure, And
it was only about maybe I don't know, three quarters
of a mile from my house. So back in the
seventies that was considered walking distance. I understand today the
kids would take an uber, but that's a different story.

(13:09):
But I remember the kids, the older kids, the teenagers
and maybe guys in their young twenties. They'd be out
in those woods riding like their Kawasaki's and their Yamahas,
and when they got anywhere near me, it would scare
the crap out of me, really, just because even though
I was off the trail, just that winding. Yeah, I

(13:32):
hated it. I hated that noise, and they.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Were just win a lot.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
I felt like they knew it too. I felt like
they would come by and they'd blow whole shots near
me and stuff, and I'd be like, God, here, you're
scaring me, but thankfully having you never had you never
had a dirt bike. No I had a Yamaha, Oh
did you? Yeah? But I didn't. I didn't love it.
Like my friend.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Larry, did you have a place to go ride or
you had to.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
Those same trails, those exact same trails.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Do you have a new target practice on Yamaha with
a pistol?

Speaker 2 (14:04):
And I don't even know how you would do that.
You're riding the motorcycles firing a weapon.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
John Wayne did it on a horseback. You're telling me
I can't hit a dagum target nailed to a tree
while riding on a Yamaha.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
I could never do.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
It a very good I don't know how a cowboy
ever died. They should have been able to hit any Indians.
All the Indians should be alive today.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Should be alive. I think they're just playing possible.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
They're waiting us out.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
I mean, we had a pretty big target too. I
had to make a big target finally, because I thought
I got to be to hit something.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
I mean, that's a I mean and again a motorcycle,
not as bumpy I would imagine as a horse. I've
never actually ridden a real horse like I've been on
like the pony rides and stuff like that. But I
don't think i've ever like saddled up a horse and
rode it by myself.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Well, I got frustrated because I missed with a pistol.
Then if you pick the right trail of it's smooth enough.
You can stand up on that on the Yamaha and
it will continue straight. If you don't hit a bump,
it's gonna you know, you hit.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
A tree route, you're done.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yeah, you gotta watch that. You've got to hit the
smooth part of the trail. I still couldn't hit it
with the rifle. I got very frustrated. I refuse to
use the shotgun. MA, it's just cheating that John Wayne
never used a shotgun on horseback.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
That he uses like a little cult revolver or something like that.
What I did, that's what he.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Pulled up nickel. Yep, he also had the Winchester was
at fifteen seventy. Maybe that wasn't the right model number.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Well, these are these are all goals that young men
should aspire to.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
They should. This is why young boys grew up afraid
of damn haunted houses. You never fired a damn pistol
at a sitting target while riding a damn dirt bike.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Had you done that, no ghost or goblin would scare you.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Ghosts Why going down a path with a fire arm.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, I'm thinking this is great parenting. Whatever I'm hearing
right now, this is great parenting. He's got no hands
on the wheel, a loaded rifle in his hands. Yes,
it's tough, and his friends are around. Of course, there's
plenty of friends around. There's no way this could go wrong.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
And I already have it cocked and ready, because when
you come off the accelerator you got it. You can't.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah, you're decelerating quickly. Yes, you don't have a lot
of time to get the shot off.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
It's tough. M that should be an Olympic sport. We'll
never have a winner.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Don't They do something on skis though.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Yeah, that's part of a biathlon, a triathlon.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
They're like cross country skiing and then they're firing weapons.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Wait, that's tough too. When you I can't even imagine
because you think about how much you're panting when you
come across from kick those skis up. You kick it
up and you take your I mean your panting.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
And the legs are probably shaking, you know. They get
that that quiver like you've been running one hundred miles.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Yeah, even if you hold your breath what you have
to to get the beat on it. Then that's a
tough sport. That's why the Russians thought they were going
to rule the world. They were really good at it.
Then they found out the rest of the earth wasn't
covered in snow.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah, that's not so much help in Arizona and South Carolina,
all these places. You're not gonna take over Florida with
that skill set.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
It a long winter, we could have been in trouble.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
It got us with George Washington back in the day
Balley Forge. Anyway, those are the stories we'll be getting
at tomorrow morning. You can always get at us online.

Speaker 1 (17:31):

kids riding around your backyard fire weapons from dirt bikes.
