Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Kelly Nash, Hey, what's happening.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's tomorrow show Today tauris Tuesday, the twenty first, counted
down ten days, and I should get my inflatable for
my yard today. Had to order one for little Sarah
because Sally got up sick because we didn't have an
inflatable Halloween decoration. I'm like, that wasn't even a thing when.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
I was a kid, or when your kids were kids.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Right now, everything's inflatable. So I got a stackable. It's
a stack of four. It's supposed to be twelve feet tall.
Oh wow, and it has its own blower so it
just sits there and blows itself up. And it's supposed
to be lit Halloween pumpkins. So happy faces, not scary faces.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
So Jonathan Rush in the Rush family breaking with the
rest of America. We just got this up on the
Morning Rest blog at ninety seven to five WSS dot
com for the first time in well, I guess since
they started doing the survey. I don't know when they
started the survey, but Americans are planning to spend less
money on Halloween this year.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
I've already broken that. Yeah, I mean, I've already bought
my bag of candy, and of the one hundred and
forty pieces I know, I've eaten twenty over the weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
And it's interesting because when I'm reading this thing from
a group called Empower, a new survey from Empower, which
survey two thousand Americans, this doesn't make sense. The rising
cost of chocolate means that we're going to spend less
on Halloween. That doesn't make sense unless you're just spending

(01:33):
more money on chocolate in general.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
To eat chocolate is the hotter of the flavors available.
They don't want the Twizzlers this year. Almost bought the Twistlers.
But I heard from you, we did this on Tomorrow
Saturday podcast one day last week, that those have fallen
from grace, fallen out of favor. So I went and
got the full bag of chocolate. Now I got to
get another bag because I've already eaten half of that one.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
So but but that's my point. If chocolate is more
expensive and you're planning on spending less this year, that
means not only are you buying less chocolate, you're buying
significantly less chocolate than typically says. The average American family
last year spent four hundred and thirty five dollars on Halloween.
This year it's two hundred and ninety six dollars.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
I haven't hit two hundred and ninety six dollars I've spent.
I think it was eighteen dollars because I went to
Sam's Club and I got the big bag one hundred
and forty pieces this good stuff, Snickers, twigs, three musketeers,
milki Way. But so it's eighteen dollars. Now. The decoration
that's supposed to arrive today, that was forty eight dollars.

(02:36):
Now I got a little sale because it's so close
to Halloween. Okay, good for you. So far, I'm still
less than one hundred bucks.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Good for you. Well, this is also a thing that
shocks me. Fifty one percent of Americans say Halloween favorite
holiday that is amazing, Not Christmas. I would always say
Christmas would be number one for most Americas, just trying
to look at Americans totally. Then I would say probably Thanksgiving.

(03:07):
And then I would say, I guess fourth of July
or maybe like Memorial Day weekend because that's like the
kickoff to summer.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
But fourth of July it is going to have guaranteed
fireworks expense.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
It's for favorite holiday, though, we're just saying, what's your
favorite holiday?

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Now? What he spent in the most of what is
your favorite holiday for you? Thanksgiving, Chris, Thanksgiving, Fourth of July.
Easter would be in there for Christians. That's like the
best holiday for Christians. That's when it all came to fruition.
Your salvation doesn't work without Easter. But fifty one percent

(03:43):
of Americans say, no, sir, it's not Jesus being born,
it's not Jesus resurrecting. It's not even free turkey. It's
not fireworks. It's monsters and goblins and things that go back.
I'm believing given the number of decorations I've seen pop up.
At least in my day, we spend a lot of money.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Have we had a big Halloween song since the Monster Mash?

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah, if you're an artist and you're desperately emailing us
country songs all the time, and we've gotten some good ones,
we don't make those decisions here. No, Jonathan and Kelly
have no say on the music. Not unless you sing
about the morning Rush. Then I could justify it, make
it into a jingle, mate. Yeah, give us like a
three minute song and I have to cut it down

(04:26):
to twenty two seconds.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, if you can give us a twenty two second
jingle about waking up with the Morning Rush, that you're
probably gonna get on the air a lot. We took
a guy who had something about one of our segments
on our political news talk and we played him for
like a year.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
That's right. So if you want to get airplay on
the Morning Rush, write a song about us and then
just no, I'm going to have to edit it because
I can't play all two minutes and thirty seven seconds.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Does what saying make a twenty two second jingle?

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Make it?

Speaker 1 (04:54):
You know what a jingle sounds like?

Speaker 2 (04:55):
People? That's right? So get my day started.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
And I don't wanted in a hush. I like to
get it started with the Morning Rush.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
He's a lyrical genius. Why is Kelly not rapping on
the stage today, I don't know, I don't know. I
don't know. So now tomorrow morning is six thirty. We're
gonna give you a chance to win again because we
got a couple of soccer well, we've got a South
Carolina artists. We do Josh Darner, he's coming. He's gonna
be on the stage at the Township along with Tracy Lawrence,

(05:24):
who I believe is from Gosh, I'm gonna I'm gonna guess.
I'm gonna guess he's from Arkansas.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
That's that's all right, Yes, I mean, I don't know
if I'm having internet problems. Is this this Amazon thing
that's still going on or whatever, because we've had Amazon
had power outages or something.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Today at Fortnite, had to take to the streets for
real weapons.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
But I'm having some trouble right now with ninety seven
five WCS dot com.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
I'm guessing Tracy Lawrence is from Arkansas.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
I'm trying to look it up for you right now
so you can have that answer and you can rest
assuredly this evening. No, No, I'm gonna double stump you,
not double stump you. But he's from Atlanta, Texas. Okay,
I didn't even know there was an Atlanta, Texas. Moved
to Nashville in nineteen ninety at age fifteen. Okay, I

(06:13):
guess he was pretty cock sure of himself, and I
guess his parents were too.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
At fifteen years old. Max mcnown's McNown Mno his name.
I had to look it up. How he pronounce his name.
I don't know what's going on in his new song
brown Eyes. So better better Me and you, not ban you,
but in you, because I'm dating you, I'll be a
better me is the song. And it was an answer

(06:37):
prayer Garth Brooks.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Well, I'm assuming that ninety seventy five WSS dot com
is down right now for the time being, So I'm
gonna have to go back to where I got our
word for the day and see if I can remember
which one it was.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
I can.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
I remember what it's about. It's about being wrapped tightly
in blankets.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Rapped tightly in blankets, yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Or coverings while you lie in bed, and it's it's
very tightly wrapped around you. From what I remember, A
word for that, I know, right, That's that's the funny thing.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Is it cocooning?

Speaker 1 (07:09):
That would be a perfect word for it, Which is
I think the word that my wife uses because she
loves to cocoon. I hate it. She even likes to
put that.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
She ever emerged from the blankets with wings. That has
not happened, but she does. She does come out more
beautiful every day, all right, just like a butterfly. Let's
see if I remember right, is it? Uh, that's not it.
That's not it. Where is it socially awkward? But Amazon

(07:40):
screwing up everybody just because you had to put on
some kind of Amazon special bonus days? Did that break down?
On that? I get? Is that? What? A last minut
of Halloween decorations at a discount on Amazon? Is that
what broke it? You know?

Speaker 1 (07:54):
That's I I'm wondering if it's not some sort of
an attack.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah. By the way, I did try to buy a
low before I ordered Amazon. You know me, I want
to buy a local. Nobody had them. They're all sold out.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
When you're talking about the party or.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
The the the Halloween inflatable for the yard. And by
the way, I took that. I am about that only
because of the admonishment of one Kelly Nash who on
this last Thursdays I think tomorrow's our Today podcast. So
the kids like to trick a treat to houses that
are welcoming. Yes, so I got the happy pumpkins and

(08:30):
the happy inflatable. I'm not doing anything really, I'm not
putting up the tombstones of the rest in Peace and
all that stuff, or the skeletons.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Well, if you want to win tomorrow. I don't know
what's going to happen in ninety seventy five to be
Seriss dot com. It might not come back online. So
the you people on the podcast, you may this may
be the only shot to have the answer.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
This is a serious inside track.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
So the word of the day is gruffling g r
U F E l I n G. And it means gruffling. Yes,
to lie wrapped up in comfortable clothing or blankets.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Does it sound like something you'd want to be a
part of. Gruffling just sounds like like a word that
would have a negative connotation and ugly things associated with it.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Jerry's laying there gruffling in bed. Sometimes it is used
to ridicule. Sometimes I wouldn't want to wake up Jerry
if he's well. I think almost like Jerry is a
laye about. Is that a word lays about? Yeah, Jerry's
a laze about and he likes to ruffle. You're a gruffling,

(09:36):
gruffling geary or whatever. But anyway, gruffling is the word
of the day. I don't know what's happening because COS
was online, but right now w COS is offline, and
we had heard earlier about some of these I think
there are attacks that are happening. Let me go back
over to my breaking and trending news if I still
have access to that, because we were reading about these

(09:57):
Amazon web services. Mosquet a webmaster, it says Amazon webs
reporting a major outage this morning. Amazon say they've mitigated
the main issue. Most services are now restored, but things
like Reddit, Snapchat, Roadblocks, Fortnite ring it's like your ring, doorbells, Coinbase,
Venmo Chime, Prime Video, Alexa, and Robinhood just some of

(10:21):
the services that were affected this morning. And according to Reuters,
they don't know what caused it. But this is the
largest internet disruption in the world since the CrowdStrike malfunction
last year.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
I remember that that affected at the airports.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah, shut down airports, banks and hospitals yep, yep, those
are That's something you really don't want to have happen.
Hospitals can't operate, not typically, so that that was a problem.
But again, we live in the Internet, so that's where
we're at.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
People.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
What else did I have for you, Jonathan, I thought
I had other that we could talk to. Oh, well,
you know what, let's just get to our it's not
a moral dilemma. As a matter of fact, it's already happened.
He's got a friend, and he says, they often I
don't know if they're calling each other like lunch buddies
or whatever, but they tend to go out to eat together.

(11:18):
And his friend, as by his estimation, intentionally screwed him
several times by making his way to the bathroom or
taking a phone call, going outside to take the phone
call just as the check is arriving. And then he'll
come back ten or fifteen minutes later and say, hey,
I'm so sorry about that. You know something I'll get.

(11:40):
I'll get the next one type of thing. And he says,
so this last time we went out, I beat him
to it, and I went away, and I came back
and he had already had paid the check, and he
seemed a little ticked off.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
And you know, I learned from you.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah, I'm just giving him a little taste of his
own medicine. Am I wrong for doing that? Should I've
at least told him in advance, like, hey we can today.
Today's the day you're making up for some of those
past checks? Or was it better to just I got
to get up.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
This is somewhat related. I won't go to dinner with
him anymore. They always try to find something wrong with
the dinners and get it free. Who does that? This
couple used to go to dinner.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
With They would complain about the food in hopes that
the restaurant would camp the meal. Yeah, and you would
just sit there humiliated.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, I'm associated with these people because I'm sitting at
the table. Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Did you say, look, I'll just pay for it so
you can shut up?

Speaker 2 (12:48):
After the last time that happened, I'm like, I'm not
going to dinner with them anymore. It's happened twice, so
that how many years ago? Is that about a decade?
I wonder if.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
They're listening right now, good blood, how y'all.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Could be Wow?

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Did they invite you out to dinner?

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Since then?

Speaker 1 (13:09):
I think they gave up, But they did invite and
you guys had to make excuses like why you weren't going. Yeah,
that's usually the wives take care of the social calendars.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Anyway, totally takes care of mine. But you told her
in the dance, I'm believably upset with me, and I said, hey,
I cleared it through you.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
What's she upset about now.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
This weekend, I got somebody do Saturday morning. Is it
a radio event? Yep. Oh, I'm going to be at
the water Burger we believe in Northeast. You're getting paid, Yeah,
but I'm also eating breakfast. Apparently they're introducing the new
breakfast item from nine to eleven on Saturday morning. She
wanted to go to the football game Friday night and
the Anderson to go to TiO Hannah to get a

(13:50):
picture with the radio statue, which I'm sure she can do,
and she's going to have to go by herself now.
She wants to see her nephew playing football. You could
go to t hand ain't come, but we gotta get
up at six o'clock in the morning. I got to
leave there by six to get back here by eight
fifteen so I could bust my rear in to make
sure I'm it. I had to leave my car here

(14:10):
get to drop me off at the station. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
Well, so you guys just can't go up watch the
football game and come back at like.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Oh she does. She won't let me drive at night.
I thought she drove. She won't let me drive, But
she won't drive either. Coma and she won't drive at night.
I don't want to drive with her at night. She's blind.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Oh that's a problem.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Come on, elon.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
But she should be happy that you're getting paid.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Oh she is. She'll have that spent for you by midday. Well,
why can't they do their breakfast remote from like one
to three, because that's not when they start breakfast.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, they start that up nice and early. And I'm
supposed you're doing it on a weekend and not a weekday.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
But they wanted to do it during the weekday. But
then I kept telling them I can't leave.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, it's not like you can be there. But I
mean they could have used you know, Gary Thrill's Mills
or Sacred Hills, but they they wanted Jonathan Rush so
they waited. They said, we'll do it on a Saturday.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
I don't know if they said all that, but it
started at eight o'clock or nine Saturday, nine o'clock, nine o'clock.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Are you giving away anything? Can I come by and
get something for you?

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Win Josh Turner and Tracy Lawrence tickets and we got
some other stuff to get, are you No, we won't
because we're signing to win some kind of concert.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
That would be a heck of a prize. We will
send you back in time to last night.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
What was I thinking? I don't even know what I'm
giving away.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
No, I was thinking maybe the Waburger would have, like,
you know, buy a burrito.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
We give away Rodney Atkins tickets for the Fall jam
at this year at Township. That's a great prize. That'll
be a lot of fun. The big Redbarn dot or
go there and learn more about it.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Absolutely absolutely, So we'll talk about you getting stiffed with
the check. Is he wrong for doing that? We'll talk
about the word of the day when tickets to go
see the Josh Turner Tracy Lawrence concert. Yep, we'll talk
about maybe your hollow and what are you spending bigger
this year? You upset that the chocolate prices have gone up?

Speaker 2 (16:05):
And here's here's what I want to know about. So
I was admonished correctly, I might add, because I use
the word d am, not damn like a beaver dam
or when referencing something to do with Sally's dogs. And

(16:25):
I said that in close proximity to little Sarah, and
Sally said, I can't believe your mouth around your own
grand dorder.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
You've been living with this mouth for like forty years.
You should know about it by now.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Our kids didn't go to cussing. So then later in
the day, in Sally's absence, I said another word, and
I was immediately struck by fear. Please do not have
heard that word. Do not ask what that word is.
Don't try to say that word.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
It's amazing what they learn.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
I know. Thankfully she didn't pick up on that word.
We hope sh But it was about those damn dogs again,
the all.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
The ones that like to build the air like beavers.
Those dogs are just like beavers.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
What is it that you said that you prayed? Immediately,
Dear Lord Jesus, don't let her have heard that word
or him depending on what influential ears you were around
to only have them immediately recite it. I know that's
happened to Morning Russia regulars.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
Well, it's like that song that we got where is
it Rodney Atkins are singing about He's got, you know,
hit the brakes and the orange juice goes flying, and yeah,
three little early said to four little words for four
letter word, where'd you learn to talk like that? I'm
your little bukkaroo, Daddy.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
I dodged a bullet.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Anyway, I'll find out that can come back to haunt
you in a week or two. She all of a
sudden just watched out.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Oh no, no, I got enough time removed. Now now
she's heard it, I'm just blaming on odead. She must
have been listening to her dad. Wasn't me? Well she
thought it was me, but it wasn't me. Okay, Hey,
what's going on with me?

Speaker 1 (18:17):
I'm framing my own son.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
This is so sad. He can deal with it. What's
going on in your neighborood? We should be talking about
how many ghosts and goblins you got traveling around there?
Why are all the Halloween decorations trying to scare them?
But Jesus, out of the kids and I have a
big Saluta made it on the air this morning. I'll
make it again quickly. To the guy who put up
the flock of pink flamingos in his front yard and

(18:42):
now has roughly I guess you're about twelve to eight
inches eighteen inches long. He's got little little skeleton cowboys
riding on their back. That's good. That's a great Halloween display.
Have you seen one that made you laugh out loud. Oh,
we'll do that to tomorrow. Remember the numbers A three,
ninety seven, eight nine, two sixty seven. You use that

(19:03):
to win at six point thirty. Hopefully the internet will
be up so you can read the answer. Otherwise you
