Oh, as I say, we're a little it's not Friday

Speaker 1 (00:16):
It's just well, but that's one of the best themes
ever for Halloween.
Speaker 2 (00:22):

who's uh, trying to figure out if maybe they're going

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Far for Halloween.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Okay, so you know you've been pretty outspoken how much
you love Halloween, lovestoms and those types of things in
your favorite line, didn't you? Was it you or was
it somebody else who went? And then you were the
ones who were popping the balloons, and they were the
Fruit of the Loom balloon.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
That was me. Yeah, walked out of there wearing a
pair of Fruit of the Loom underwear, a pair of
white tennis shoes, and a string wrapped all around me
with the remnants of busted balloons. I thought it was
a great costume. Was Fruit of the Loom guy? We
got on the dance floor back in the day when
people get smoke in the club. They were using their
(01:06):
cigarettes to pop my balloons. I think the girls thought
I was naked.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Hey, they all wanted to see. Well, we've you know,
we've all had fun with the Halloween costumes. One year
I went during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. I went as
Bill Clinton and my costume was I had a Bill
Clinton rubber mask on my face and I just wore
like a regular suit, you know, coat gie like Bill
(01:32):
would have, but instead of having pants, I was just
wearing satin boxers with lipstick all over it. There you go,
so good? Look, Yeah, it was great. We've had fun.
These people are trying to have.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Fun in the Ovary office for.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Halloween and they're looking for a little feedback. Are we
going too far? Are we just going to cause problems?
Or do you think most people will just laugh and
have a good time with it. She is going as
an ice agent, he is an illegal alien.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
They like to take the headlines of the day. Everybody
loves a good current events Halloween costume.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Do they all love it or do you think that
they're gonna make some rub some people the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
You're definitely gonna get some responses, but you don't care.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
It depends what circles you run in. True, some people,
if you go to certain parties, everybody will laugh. You
go to other parties, everybody will hate you.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
So you think that's funny, do you?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
But there's also parties where there might be an intermingling
of people where some people are like, do you really
think it's funny? Do you really think it's funny? That's
not funny.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I know. I tell you the story about my favorite
costume you ever had to be when I went as
the giant tampon and know it was a cardboard I
was a six foot cardboard cylinder with a cotton top
and the top would move up and down, and I
had a cotton rope that was dragging behind me, so
(03:06):
when I would push the top up, I'd pull the ropes.
This woman outside of a nightclub in Greenville, South Carolina,
spent the better part. I guess. We're waiting in line
twenty minutes just to get in the door. She is
just railing on me for my inappropriate Halloween costume. So
finally we're almost at the door and she's kind of
(03:29):
calmed down a little bit, and I said, well, look,
I just want you to know I thought it was funny.
I didn't know I was going to meet you here
I didn't want you to think you were being personally attacked,
and I just you know, I want you to know
it's nothing personal in this conversation. But I know you're
very upset with me, and I guess I can understand why.
And she said, okay, well, as long as you understand that.
(03:52):
And right before I walked in the door, I turned
back to her and I said, okay, good, I'll see
you next month. I heard her cursing I walked in.
He got me one last time.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I'm trying to remember how to curse like the guy
on on the of the Ralphie Christmas thing or whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, what was that guy's name, Devin something?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, I can't remember now.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
He was only mentioned because I'm talking this morning about
watching gun Smoke Sally. Now it escapes to the news
of the day, go to Gus. He was on an
episode the other night. Was very young, is like twenty
five years old? Maybe? Was it Gavin Gavin? That's right,
because I'm like, damn, gom that's that's Ralphie's dad. Yeah,
he's like, I know that guy, that's Ralphie's dad.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
What brought you to this lowly state?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
He was in an episode where Burt Rentold's of all people.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
You know, my wife the other day quoted him just
out of the blue, Gavin or Burt Rentolds. Gavin, Oh,
she said, you used all the glue on purpose.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
It won't be along with me watching our favorite Christmas movies.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
You know, Hey, Thanksgiving. Sister on the corner too. Jonathan
and the folks over there at door Dash say that
that the night before Thanksgiving is now officially the biggest
grocery delivery day of the year. Oh, I'm sure it's
up ninety over an average day.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
You're rolling the nice stuff. If you think that the
delivery guy is going to be able to get everything
you need because a lot of shelves are going to
be out of the can to cranberry sauce.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Well, people are you know, they order all kinds of stuff,
so they're trying to let you know what you what
they expect. Just looking at early telltale signs as well
as past Thanksgiving orders. What you want to order early
because they tend to sell out. Pumpkin pie number one
thing that goes away. Yes, that's the second one is
(05:55):
a cheesecake, followed by apple, chocolate and pecan pies. That's
the order of them. When it comes to sides, mashed potatoes,
you want to get in early on that that is
the most ordered side dish in fifteen states. Corn, gravy,
sweet potatoes, cranberries round out your top five. If you're
(06:16):
wondering what they expect to be the trendy side dish,
I don't imagine that the Rush family is concerning themselves
with trendy side dishes.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Not my traditional table.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
But this year the trendy side will be old school squash.
That's what they suspect. Squash. I guess people, it's kind
of like old names. People are bringing the old names back.
They're bringing the old side dishes back, and so they're
just saying that if you are thinking about ordering food,
you should probably ordered at least two days in advance.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I would think so.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
But turkeys and all those things can be selling out.
If you want all the lists, we have those on
the Morning Rush blog, Jonathan.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
We also have.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Your favorite people at wallet hub. Oh he loves the
wallet hub and wallet hub has snubbed South Carolina mad again.
They've gone through and listed the twenty twenty six best
college towns and cities and this is four hundred cities
that they compared using what they call thirty one key
indicators of academic, social economic opportunities for students. They look
(07:22):
at crime rates, they look at things like costs of pizzas,
cost of beer, how many breweries are in the town,
so on and sover. They have all these different things.
Number one town for five. This is their fifth year
in a row. Austin, Texas comes in number one, and
Urbord number two. Orlando, Florida in Tampa, Florida. In Raleigh,
(07:44):
North Carolina, round out your top five. If you're wondering
about South Carolina, our highest ranking town is Charleston comes
in at number nineteen. They love Charleston, well, they usually
love Greenville, South Carolina. Didn't crack the top four hundred.
Not in the top four hundred, Really is Greenville? Now
(08:04):
there is a and I'm wondering if that's a mistake,
because they do have Greenville, North Carolina, home of ECU
at number two sixty two. Perhaps that was supposed to
have gone to Greenville, South Carolina. At number seventy five
is Clemson. At number ninety five is Columbia. Number two
(08:26):
thirty is North Charleston, home of Charleston Southern and two
eighty five is rock Hill, home of Winthrop. Clinton did
not make it, as did Greenville, South Carolina. Not making
the top four hundred.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I wouldn't think Clinton would be even in the hunt.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Why not Presbyterian great place, Clinton, home of It's Clinton
and prosperity. You got all that going on right there,
But they didn't make the top four hundred.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Nor did you got in Clinton. That's it? God maybe no.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Oh and by the way, one of the things that
made Austin, Texas. I didn't realize this at the time.
Austin has the lowest unemployment rate in America right now
and the lowest average pizza price in the country. What
a great combo. Pizza is almost free, and everybody's working.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
In the Republic of Austin.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
The Republic, where what is it? We've got to keep
Austin weird, keep it weird.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I think that's the reason why of the unemployment rates
so low is because nobody's actually worked in Austin in
thirty three years.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
What happened thirty three years ago.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I can't remember, but they just gave up. Anybody who
actually has a job in Austin traveled from nearby Luke
and Boch Lukenbach Lukenbach, Texas had the bus in workers
because nobody in Austin does the damn thing.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So there's jobs Americans won't do. Then there's jobs Austonians.
Finally a few people will do a little bit of
work and go to the Morning Rest blog at ninety
seven five to b shows dot com you can find
out the answer to tomorrow's what you're talking about contest.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
It's funny because machination was used yesterday fifteen minutes after
we had no after we had our podcast. Whether I
got hung up on that word, it was used in
the conversation on the news, and I'm like, look at that.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Wow, that's factly what it is.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
The machination, said Donald Trump. That's what he's caught up in.
The machinations.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Well, let's you know, maybe they'll use I could see
them saying that the reason Donald Trump has allowed the
government to shut down ouse he's an abe sidarian, he's.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
A beginner, he's a novice, he knows nothing.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
There you go, that is it?
Speaker 1 (10:52):
And what is our official definition? Because I think I'm
just kind of beaten.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
