Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Killy Nash. Hey there, it's tomorrow show today Wednesday
closer to Halloween. Tuesday twenty is.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Tomorrow, tomorrow's the twenty eight, twenty eight.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
It's right, and twenty ninth, thirtieth in Sally's birthday.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Halloween big Friday night celebration as it should be on Halloween. John,
And I'm one of those people who, despite the you know,
the date changing, I feel like we should always have
Halloween on a at least on a Friday or a Saturday.
But just pick one and then just make it so

(00:37):
that the kids and everybody can stay out late.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
You know.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
The worst was like a Tuesday night Halloween. Your Mom's like,
you gotta be in bed by eight thirty, but it
just barely got dark.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Mom.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Why can't we just make Halloween like like we did
with Thanksgiving, like the third Thursday. You know, we could
do it for us like the fourth Friday in October. Okay,
are you I'm bored with that? Or do you want
to just continue as a traditionalist. You're probably more along
the lines of it's October thirty first.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Well, here's the thing, You're gonna have people come on
October thirty first. Either way, they're coming, so let's just
do it on one night. Let's just do it on
Halloween night, because you're not gonna have candy left over.
Like if let's say it was Thursday night, if you
got people coming Friday night, you know they're coming, you're
gonna save some candy for them. You're gonna go buy
more candy. We're doing this one time we run out
of candy, turn off the lights.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Well true, true that. So, but if I'm saying, if
we just had an Act of Congress, say Halloween, that's
what they do with Thanksgiving, they just said it's you know,
they picked a Thursday and they said that's what it's
gonna be. They could do the same thing for Halloween.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Well, we're coming up on the ever popular changing of
the time this weekend as well.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, I'm waiting for them to change that. They keep
saying they're gonna change that. You notice, Eastern never falls
on a Tuesday. That's year in and year out. It's
a Sunday. So I'm saying Halloween should be on a Friday.

(02:14):
That's that's my big push. We'll see if the Morning
Rush or regulars agree with me on that one.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Okay, this should be the beginning every year now after
this year because it falls on a Friday. Yes, next
year it should be on the fourth Friday period.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Handle it, Congress, and and you know, if we want
to devolve into the and maybe that'll be something to
take on later on as we do. We also want
to have them addressed because they have And by the way,
the state of South Carolina has already passed that law,
so we will not fall back in the future. But
we need a few more states to agree with us.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
We've got to get Congress to sign off on it.
In order to do that.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
I think we've got Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and I
think Virginia sign that law.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
I believe, I believe you're right.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
But we we need North Carolina, we need Maryland. It'd
be great if New York would chime in on this,
that would be great.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
We got to get all the Eastern Seaboard states in
on it.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yes, and then all of a sudden everybody agrees, Okay, well,
it's just gonna be set at and maybe we'll go
with the original Morning Russia regular suggestion of we'll just
split the time, and you know we're not gonna go
up an hour or back an hour. We're just gonna
go a half hour, half hour. That'll be the end
of it and we'll never touch it again.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
That's good.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Set it and forget it. Set it and forget it.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, that's I mean. This morning, I'm out there, it
was like seven o'clock. I had to go out to
the front of the building because we sit in this
windowless studio. It was pitch black at seven am.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah, and I'm having to do it. I've been told
by Sally, after the rain comes and goes, you don't
have to get out and do it in the rain,
But after the rain comes and goes, you're going to
have to go out there and reset our our lights
in the backyard alone, the perimeter. Okay, because she says
when she goes out in the morning, right now, the
lights' own. So I've gotta i gotta reset all that. No,

(04:04):
there's a lot of reset to be done around here. Yes,
particularly when if you've got something in your house that
that doesn't automatically change the time. This weekend is a
good time to do it. And don't forget check your
smoke alarms.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Oh is that when you do it? Whenever I always
do mine on New Year's.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Oh okay, well, for some reason I fell into the
changing of the time. You check them twice a year,
check your smoke alarms anymore of those are all linked
up to with the alarm system, so you automatically know
what it's not working.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
By the way, I have no idea how they actually
calculated this, but but I already know that they're wrong.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Okay, I don't.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
I don't need you to do a study. New York Post.
New York Post has ranked I like this alarming study.
Alarming study. This is a very serious topic. Ranks the
state's most likely to survive a zombie apocalypse.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yes, I saw this interesting.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
And ironically, I mean, you would think that South carolinauld
be very high on this list, but we don't even
crack the top ten. They say the state best prepared
to survive. Oh, I'm sorry, that's ten worst. The best
place to survive a zombie apocalypse would be Alaska, then Maine,
South Dakota. I guess what they're doing is just like
least populated Montana, North Dakota, haway anty. Hawaii would suck

(05:29):
because you can't get out of Hawaii. You gotta go
out in the water Michigan. By the way, do you
even know they don't have to hold their breath? But
you would think, and they have Oklahoma and Louisiana tide
in tenth place. South Carolina's probably gotta have more guns

(05:51):
per capita, you would think. It seems like every house
has minimum ten guns. Now, like we're just loaded ars, shotguns, pistol.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
I'm counting for.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
And how do you kill a zombie? I don't even remember.
Don't you just got to shoot him in the head.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
That seems to shot him down on the television show.
Now in real life, I don't know. In real life, Yeah,
you take a shot to the to the gut. They
don't slow down.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
No, they just they it's they step back. Yeah, they
do the Michael Jackson thriller dance.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yes, Wow, what.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Else are we looking at?

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Jonathan?

Speaker 2 (06:30):
By the way, there's more fallout from this basketball thing.
And now, according to the FBI, one of the people
involved is former NFL great Antonio Gates and apparently he's
one of the guys who would host the rigged poker games.

(06:52):
How many I mean, Antonio Gates, how much did this
guy make in his career? I'm gonna guess it's in
excess of fifty dollars and we're to and you're reduced
to rigging poker games.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
You cannot underestimate greed.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
I mean, and you're only forty five years old and
now you're facing many, many years. Right, He's a Hall
of Famer sixteen years playing for the Chargers.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
And how many of these guys are going to lose
their Hall of Fame certification?

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Do they kick you out?

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Well, I mean, look, they held Pete Rose out, but.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
He never got in, right, No, he never got in
because that whole scandal with him and the gambling was before.
But like ty Cobb, when all the bad stuff about.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
I want to sanitize this image.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
But like I was saying, like ty Cobb was when
the I don't know when we started kind of deep
diving on Ty Cobb. I'm going to say somewhere in
the nineties, because I had never even considered Ty Cobb.
I had heard his name. I knew his baseball card
was worth a lot of money when I was a kid.
But then they started bringing up all his racist comments
and all this sort of stuff, and then they were like,
we got to kick him out of the Hall of Fame.

(08:03):
But they never budged on that. Maybe they put an
asterisk next to his name, not the Ty Cobb cares.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
No, he wasn't available for comment.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Ty Cobb no worries at this point regarding Hall of
Fame status.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
How about Shoeless Joe, Shoeless Joe. I don't know South
Carolina's own.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
The whole Chicago Black Sox. I don't know if they
care anything about the Hall of Fame at this point.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
But uh, but boy, this time, unlike the previous times
that we noticed that we're noting this time, there is
a ton of money currently on the line, don't you
know if you are like the creator of one of
these sports betting operations. I'm trying to think of the
name of one. I don't use any of them, so,
but you know, damn goodwill, They're like, crap, this is

(08:52):
the last thing we need because we're a ton of
that over here.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Oh well, it's all legal now, sure right, And so
I don't think it's going to go way. No, it's
the the What did they say, Once you get the
toothpaste out of the tube, you can't put it back.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
A little difficult. I've tried that once I.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Saw somebody, Uh, you know, you can use these AI
videos to make anything seem like a like a real
news story. Sure, and so this was supposed to be
like a combination. It was supposed to be a commercial
that looked like a news story. So we've seen those

(09:31):
in real life, right, breaking news, McDonald's has now got
the two for one special or whatever, those types of things,
and so this one was breaking news, NBA scandal rocks
the country, blah blah blah, and it's going on and on.
And then it was like, right now, get a fifty

(09:53):
or get you know, fifty percent off your initial bet
at FanDuel with when you use the code like you know,
rigged poker game.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
What's the over under? Own so and start of going
to prison.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, my gosh, it's crazy.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
And we laugh at that. I bet you could joke
on I bet we joke about it. I bet you
can bet on it right now on Vegas on a
Vegas page.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Have you ever been involved seen somebody cheating at any game?
I mean, like even Monopoly. I think I remember like
a kid once trying to cheat a Monopoly. I don't
remember how he would have done it, but I think
I remember my friend Pete getting upset with him.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
I remember my brother got me for like a buck
fifty and never paid it back. My older brother Kenneth,
unbeknownst to me, when I was out working on the farm,
he would sneak into the house at like three point
thirty in the afternoon and watch I don't know if
you're not even old enough to remember when this was
on television, but there were horse races on television, so

(10:54):
he would know the winner, yes, because he would watch
it on the station out of Greenville when they aired
the three thirty or whatever, then at four thirty when
they aired it on the station out of Columbia's by
the time I would come in and he would place
bets and we would bet against one of the horse races.
And I don't I've forgotten how I figured it out,
but he already knew the winners because he watched the

(11:16):
previous broadcast. It was a repeat.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Gosh, that's bust.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
His chops about that again. I ain't thought about that
in decades.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
So, by the way, I am assuming you're a huge
Tailor Sheridan fan, because he created Yellowstone.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Who could not recognize the brilliance of this.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Guy apparently when his contract ends. So I'm just reading
this right now. The Yellowstone creator has just inked a
long term deal with NBC Universal. The five year deal
for film, TV and streaming begins January twenty first. It's
January first, twenty twenty nine when his paramount contract ends,

(11:57):
So they're going to lose him, and they're not really sure.
Does that mean if Yellowstone with Stone production, does that
go to NBC?

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Interesting on all those types of things. But what kind
of money do they They don't say it in here.
How much money do you have? Do you think that
they had to pay?

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Guess?

Speaker 2 (12:21):
I mean, this guy's created a bazillion shows.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
And by the way, they don't even they're not even
asking for a storyboard. What are you thinking about? They
just will whatever you produce will pay you that amount
of money for Sight Unseen.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, yeah, we're not going to second guess you.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
No, we don't care what it is.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
You don't have to pitch. And by the way, just
the idea of pitching shows. Who is the first comedian
who did the whole thing about like Hogan's heroes? Like,
imagine you're in a meeting and you're like, here's the
idea it's World War Two, it's a German prison camp.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, but it's a comedy.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
The Nazis are kind of funny in this one.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
I mean literally, it's kind of like the guy who
came up with a teenage mention, mutant teenage turtles or
whatever it was. I mean, they took the most unbelievable
labels of any type of stereotype you can imagine it,
threw them all together and came up with that, made
billions of dollars off of it.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
And I don't know, And then you wonder, well, what
shows were rejected?

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yes, if this show is accepted, it's death Row in
South Carolina, right, and we're betting on how many of
these guys will die of natural causes. We had a
winner last week. We had a death row inmate in
South Carolina who died of natural causes while waiting for
his execution.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
We keep feeding in that fried food. Oh you go
to South Carolina?

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Did we sit in CPR. I bet we'll find out
we actually sit in ems. We're gonna save this guy,
the guy on death row.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Yeah, don't steal our glory. Don't steal our glory. We
want our moment.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
I know if we researched it we find out that
to be.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
True, that is sad. And uh, finally, Jonathan, I should
mentioned that tomorrow morning at six point thirty, we are
going to be playing are what you talking about? Contest
Barn Retreat dot org Yep, we're raising funds for the
Big Red Barn. And again you can help by buying
tickets and I have a link on the Morning Rest
blog to buy tickets, but you can also help by

(14:19):
buying merchandise when you get there. And so if you
want to win your free tickets and then help in
another way, we'd appreciate that. The word of the day
for what you're talking about tomorrow is compunction.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Compunction, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Compunction, punction. What's your function?

Speaker 1 (14:37):
This is? This is the good angel on your shoulder, Okay,
because I had the bad angel talking to me telling
me you're the little red devil over here will be
telling me what to do in my right ear and
my left ear will have the good angel tell me
don't do that, don't don't think twice here, hotshot. That's compunction.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
That's partially correct, Yes, it's it could also have been
feeling after you have done something bad. So it's a
feeling of moral scruple that prevents or follows the doing
of something bad. So it can either help prevent them.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
If you don't listen to the good Angel on your
left shoulder, the right angels the right, the little red
Devil's going to talk to you into doing it, and
then he's gonna laugh at you because you did it.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
And then the good angel will come back and say, see,
he would have felt better had you just listened to me.
He shouldn't have eaten that.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
And you went to Sunday school yesterday and you still
you still.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Did all that, did all that did you and then
you feel horrible about yourself. Now you're suffering compunction, man.
So that's a big word for y'all, compunction.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Compunction.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
And again the definition we want is not the one
that Webster or anybody else has. It's on the morning
rust block because we want the clicks for the tics.
It's a pair of tickets to go see Rodney Atkins
that is next Saturday, November eighth at the Township.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Hey, what's going on in your neighborhood? You got zombies
roaming around there, and I want to know if zombies
can swim, because if you're in Hawaii, the only way
you can survive is to get out past where the
waves are breaking and tread water. I think they just
set up a campfire, and why you don't need to
finally drown so they could just roast your ass when
you finally wash ashore.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Zombies don't have like battle plans, like they don't like
spread out, We're gonna move in, We're gonna encircle them
back to the door, attack anything like that. They just kind
of so I think I feel like that they don't
need breath. I feel like they could walk out into
the water and be fine.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
I gotta feeling you're right, but I don't know that
to be true. All right, So what's happening over there
and getting ready for Halloween? What's going on? And this?
Stop and look at the little skeletons riding horseback on
the pink pink flamingos in that yard again the other thing.
For the life of me, that's my favorite decoration so far.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
It doesn't even make sense, which is what's so great.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
No, I hate the skeletons, but I like it when
they're riding the little pink flamingos. Across the front yard.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
They're cute.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Now I would to go ahead and make some for
next year. They're actually drone controls so I could fly,
Oh my god, the kids come up the step, I
can swoop down with a skeleton on top of a
peak flamingo.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
That would be great, brother, we are I mean, you know,
you just look at the advancements in outside decorating in
the last ten years, right, and how inexpensive it's gotten
compared to like when I was a kid. Only the
rich families are what we considered rich, probably just upper
middle class. We're able to afford the lights that went

(17:27):
on the house. Yeah, like to light your outside of
your house. That was incredible. And now everybody gets them.
And on top of it, nobody had inflatables in the seventies,
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 (17:40):
We didn't even know what nobody ever thought of something
like that.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
And now it's like you can buy them for like
one hundred bucks at Target or something. And so I ordered.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
The twelve foots is four pumpkins stacked on each other.
I'm gonna wait till the rain stops today, put them
up tomorrow with it. I ordered twelve foot tall pumpkin
stack lit wow self inflatable. It's got the little fan
built in the bottom. Yep. I got an own sale
for forty two dollars.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Amazing.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Now, if we had something like that when we were kids,
people would have stopped. We did stop in traffic the
other night and look at some lights. A little Sarah
was in the back seat. And this is that time
of the year. Be careful when somebody's put up a
big Halloween decoration, because the car in front of you
could be stopping. So the little kids in the back
seat can stand sit there and look for thirty forty

(18:33):
five seconds, maybe longer. Who knows well. A lot of
possible tragedies getting ready for Halloween night. And for God's sake,
please wear something reflective.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
You need to wear something reflective if you're going out
at night and walking the streets. Of course, even if
you're not and carry a flashlight.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yes, if you if you're just out walking your dog,
wear something reflective. For Pete's sake, we don't see you.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yeah, when I go out for if I like I'm weekends,
I wake up early, I go for my morning walks
now and I'm just in Wildwood like there's no traffic
I might see two cars at five point thirty in
the morning on a Saturday or something.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
But that's the worst. Neighborhoods not to have something reflective
because they don't think people are walking.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
So I got my reflective vest on, right, I've got
my neon green sneakers. I'm wearing a white hat, white pants,
and I'm got a flashlight. Yeah, and I'll flash the
I'll be flashing my shoes and then just to make sure,
I'll flash the car as he's coming towards me and
I'm minding my eyes. I'm walking towards cars too. I
walk like against traffic. So if I see him, yeah,

(19:36):
if he's coming towards me and he doesn't see me
for some reason, I can jump right. Do not walk
with traffic, you know that's dangerous.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
So we had a morning rusher. Regulars tell me this.
Let's hear the story real quick because this is a funny.
Had a morning Rushian. Regulars tell me that they live
in an HLA neighborhood. So this is you got it.
You got plenty of ways to communicate with your neighbors, right.
So this guy insists that walking against traffic is the
wrong way for pedestrians to use the roads. Okay, so
when you're walking your dog or your child, he swerves

(20:06):
towards you and blows the horn or does he? Yes,
So they had a special hoa neighborhood party. They invited
the cat team out okay or whatever they call it
Lexton County to described everyone how you're made sure he
was there. Make sure everybody understands how you're supposed to
walk as a pedestrian. This guy's still swerving towards people

(20:28):
and blowing the horn.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
So even though the police department, yes announced it, you're
supposed to walk towards oncoming traffic, he's still doing it
and nobody nudge them that. Did you hear what he
just said? Did you catch that?

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Wama telling me she was walking with her with her
kid around the block, car swerves towards her, blowing the horn.
I might. I might.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
I'm not saying I would recommend this, but me personally,
I might pull a weapon.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
I was saying if I were walking and I had
my block, Yeah, put.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
A warning in the radiator. Yeah, I'm shooting into the
grill because you're you're threatening my life.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
You swerved towards me in an aggressive manner.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
All right, I don't get it. You got something like
that going on. We got to do some kind of
campaign here. And don't even get me started on the
people who are riding bicycles.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
But now the bicycles are supposed to go with the traffic. Yes,
because you are a you're a vehicle.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
They don't understand that either. Sometime they move like a pedestrian.
Sometime they move like a vehicle.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
It's really not that hard. It's like the four way stop.
It's not that hard to figure this out. These things
are basic.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
It's in the manual.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
It's just read it.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Do it. When you got your maybe you got maybe
you got your driver's license in North Carolina. You're from Venezuela.
You don't know any better. Okay, I might give you
a pass. Hey, let us know what you're thinking to
going on in your neighborhood. You know how to reach
