Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Kelly Nash. Here Tomorrow will be HOMP Day, and
then Thursday s h I T, then tg I h
F Halloween Friday, Yes.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Some new vocab for us, and then we get lined up.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
For the really scary day that'll be Saturday.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Why that's scary because we got to play Ole Miss.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Yes, yes, that ain't gonna be fun. No, it will
not be all right, So anyway, here we go. Let's
talk about what we're going to talk about tomorrow as
we get ready to give away yet more tickets for
Rodney Atkins celebrated the Big Red Barn Retreat dot org.
That's the web page where you learn more about what
they do, including the Warrior Path Program, a nationwide program
that began here at the Big Red Barn.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yes, this is a people who've been suffering with post
traumatic stress disorder and other things brought on by being
in combat or perhaps being an EMT seeing violent things.
The Big Red Barn here to help, and we love
to help raise funds for it, and that's why that's
why we got Rodney Atkins coming this year. Now, you
(01:05):
don't have to pay for the tickets to see Rodney Atkins. Hopefully,
though you'll buy some T shirts or merchandise something, or
just make a straight up donation. But uh, it's always
I think most people prefer to get something for their donation.
So there you go, there's an opportunity. Uh, and we're
donating to you the two tickets. If you know what
(01:27):
the word a fluvium A fluvium.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, fluvium. This is a medical okay. It is not
unlike the bird flud, but it's spread only by small mammals.
You catch it from squirrels.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Squirrels, you say, squirrels car give you the effluvium. Interesting,
that is a great I would actually probably I would
agree if we were playing Hollywood Squares right now, I'll
take Jonathan in the CERNA.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
You don't want to touch that squirrels nuts. It could
be infected with the fluvium. I know that's the right answer.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
It's even more funny than that, Jonathan. The actual answer
according to the definition. And you can just go ahead
and interpret the answer however you'd like it to. I
think I know where your mind is going to go.
A vapor that is foul smelling. Are you sitting over
there a flumminating?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Again? I don't know. By the way, of all of
these squirrels videos that are popping up on social media
where they're eating like the hot doritos and stuff, because
people are leaving hot foods out for the squirrel.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Just to drive them nuts.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I don't know if those are real or ai. I
know they're funny, so I'll watch them anyway, that matter,
whether they're real or not.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
So they eat the hot dorito and then what happens.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Oh, I've got the funniest video shots that these squirrels,
and the squirrels always looking at the camera, which leads
to me to believe this is obviously fake, especially with
the one who picked up the glass of milk can
drink it. Okay, squirrels can't pick up a whole glass
of milk. But they are funny. But I know the
one where the pig is laying by the on the
(03:06):
front porch and they're like two. I don't know if
that's a piel mouse or whatever it is, but the
pig blows gas what vapor? Now, the reason I know
this to be not true is because pigs don't blow
like dust out of their butt. So you actually saw it,
(03:26):
you saw it come out. That's for it to be
a video. You have to be able to see it.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
You couldn't just hear it.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Well, a lot of people don't even turn up the
volume on those, so you got to get the full impact. Well,
these these pill dice rolled over and died.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
It was like, so they cocked their legs when they're
gonna afflute. No, he was laying there sleeping, so he's, oh,
he don't even know what's going on. No, he's just
blue one out right there. Interesting.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
What do they call that when you do it in
the bed under the covers? That dutch oven?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yes, yes, that's if that's if you pull the sheets
over like your girlfriend's head or something, don't you dutch oven?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Her? Wow, this is school. It's so gross. Any people
always talk about how they live in the high school,
they're always living in the yearbook. The middle school yearbook
was always funnier.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Really, well, what happened? I don't even remember.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Find it's always fart jokes and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I should I wonder if whatever happened to my middle
school yearbook? I should go look for it.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I don't think we ever have one. Oh, middle school
was funnier than high school.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
We've got twenty five hundred US adults. All right, they're
talking about Uh, you know, you're heading home for the holidays.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
We survey, yes, twenty five hundred. That's a large example.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
What is the topic they least want to talk about?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Politics? No, religion, No, past relationships.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
No, isn't this shocking?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Uh? Sports? No?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Exactly. According to this the thing that forty seven percent
of Americans agree on is they don't want to talk
about money.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Oh yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
That is the no. So that thing that we had
been taught as children. You never talk about politics, and
you never talk about religion.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
And when Clemson and Carolina are both having a bad season,
he don't talk about sports.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well, you try to one up the other team, right,
because we both suck, right, So our three wins are
more impressive than your three wins. That will be the conversation,
and then we'll find out who gets their fourth win.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Who was a graduate of your family from PC. They're
the only ones that can brag about anything.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Oh my gosh, I'm.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Thinking about five guys right now. It's just going nuts
with their peace team. They're undefeated, by the way, first
time since nineteen fifty eight. They're like six and.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Oho thirty one percent of Americans say uh so, which
means sixty nine percent of Americans are okay with the
idea of talking about their personal weight. Oh, sixty nine
percent of Americans are okay if somebody made a comment
about their weight. So it looked over you. Now you're
(06:29):
looking a little porkyer this year, sixty nine percent of Americans, right, yeah,
I guess I am that that that does a real
thing that I'm going through. Or maybe some of them
are feeling like people would be like, you look like
you lost weight. Maybe that's what they're thinking. But thirty
one percent are uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I think with the obesity rate right now, it must
be there's somebody else in the family. You can say, well,
at least I'm not him. At least I'm not Uncle
Joe over there.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah, fa Joe.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Last time I saw him, he was on a porch,
killed two field rats, blew.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
It out, blew it out with like a pig.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Pig butt in the video.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
So sick now fifty one percent, which leads me to
believe are we more Americans are single than not? At
this point? Fifty one percent of Americans say they would
be awkward to talk about either their love life or
who they're not with anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
The past relationship. Yeah, they don't want to talk about
past relationships. What about that girl you bought last year, Yeah,
let's not talk about her. She was cute, Yeah, let's
not talk about her.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
By the way, just the holidays. I think it's a
big deal if you invite somebody to your house for
the holidays.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Oh, that's a huge deal.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And so that I don't think that that should be
a one and done like if that if you break up,
like shortly after you brought them to the house, then
you screwed up. Something screwed up. If you're once they're
into the once they're into the holiday celebration. They minimum two.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Years, that's true, that's probably a good average.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
But if you're just out they were here for Thanksgiving,
didn't make it to Christmas, what the hell do you
do wrong?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
It's great.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
And women are less comfortable talking about money than men.
So forty eight percent of women said that they are
willing to talk about things like credit card debt, but
fifty eight percent of men said they're willing to talk
about credit card.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
How did this even come up in conversation?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Somebody would say something about I'm getting killed on these
freaking we're up to twenty nine right now. The average
credit card interest rate is now twenty nine point nine percent.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Right that is the record Thanksgiving meal.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Absolutely, absolutely think about this. If you're carrying ten thousand
dollars in credit when I think the average American is
now at like thirty five thousand dollars in credit card debt,
you're carrying an interest payment alone of like eight hundred
dollars a month. You're getting crushed dealed. Ten years ago
that interest payment would have been like a hundred. So
(09:16):
you are getting destroyed by credit card interest payments right now.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I don't know why that would come up, but apparently
it does, and they're willing to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
The men are the women not so much.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I guess I put on my list of things to
bring up at Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
But they'd rather talk about that, or they'd rather talk
about why you're no longer a Christian, why did you
switch to Buddhism. They'd rather talk about that than their
credit card interest.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
We tell me, Zuckerberg, who are we talking about here?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Anybody? I mean, I mean, I got a friend who
just became he just left the Protestant faith to become
a Catholic, said, the Protestant faith is wrong. It doesn't
understand Jesus. That's why I became a Catholic. Okay, and
sit well with the Baptists that he was talking to,
But that was his He grew up a Baptist. Said,
they got it wrong, missed it, missed the market. Bay,
(10:10):
It's an interesting conversation to have over your Thanksgiving turkey.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
You don't want to ruin the Thanksgiving turkey by talking
about religion and politics. Look, I'll just sit here and
rub my belly like Buddha. How about that. I'm not
rued about someone else.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
How long does it take for you to spend your paycheck?
By the way, speaking of money, new survey here from
researchers show that of two thousand currently employed Americans, divided
evenly by generation levels, within forty eight hours of being paid,
the average person has already spent fifty percent of their paycheck. Well,
(10:47):
I believe that it doesn't take long for it to go.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Think about your your mortgage payment or your rent, and
then your car payment, and then what an insurance payment
for your car? And then what else we got? We
got to Money's squirrelled away for our food. So yeah,
you've already got that all. It's already been accounted for.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Millennials are the quickest also, I guess the youngest in here.
The millennials say that ninety five percent of their paycheck
is spent within the first twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
You forgot your tithe. I don't know that that's supposed
to be paid first, But well.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
If you want to get the first fruits blessing that
Paula White used to brag about, there you go, paul
White special.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Don't argue with Paula White.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
And I could actually put extra into my first fruits
as a promissory note, if I remember her theory at
the time.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
This is why we don't talk about religion during the meal.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It was a promissory note. If you want to make
one hundred grand, put up ten grand right now. That's
how you're gonna because I'm I'm foreseen, but well you're
going to ten exit, right. Isn't that what that was?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
If I'm giving a ten I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
I only make fifty grand, but I want to make
a hundred grant, well, then give ten grand and then
the rest.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Will be provided. That's a seed.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yes, it's a seed.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Say this is why you don't talk about religion at
the table. The only seeds I want to talk about,
or that seed I see on that squash right there.
Let me have some more of that.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Baby boomers are doing great with money. By the way,
only eighteen percent of baby boomers feel like in a
typical month they ever feel strapped for cash, which is
surprising because most of them are now in the retired
and we often hear about how hard it is to
be retired with these inflation.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
And it's growing problem.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
It's a growing problem. But only eighteen percent of baby
boomers feel like they're strapped for cash during any given month,
unlike the current crop of Gen Z and millennials, who
are at fifty four percent.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Feel those baby boomers and must be having a bigger
problem that we thought. Otherwise, you wouldn't see those commercials
all the time about selling your life insurance policy. Plainly
there's money out there to be made for the insurance
policy people. Otherwise you wouldn't see so damn any commercials.
My husband and I thought we had planned appropriately for
our retirement, but we quickly realized we needed to supplement
(13:15):
our income well, and if.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
You you know that that's the old phrase of your
leaving money on the table.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Well, already paid for hearing one hundred thousand dollars worth
of life insurance. Yeah, you're both eighty five Okay, if
you use the money now, I'll go ahead and carve
that down to fifteen grand I think is the average
cost for a funeral if you don't get cremated, you
get cremated. I think you can do it for like
twenty five hundred if you don't tip the preacher like
you said.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I've already got one hundred grand life insurance. So that's covered,
it's all paid for, that's all said and done.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I'm like, what do you leave enough to get yourself burned?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Well, well, you wouldn't even need that if you have
the life insurance policy. Have you got one hundred thousand
dollars life insurance policy? And I've got a house that
I paid, like you know, somebody like my mother. She
bought the house for twenty two thousand dollars in nineteen
seventy two. That house now valued at four hundred thousand dollars.
She's literally sitting on four hundred thousand dollars worth of cash.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
She could do the reverse mortgage and pull up the
sixty percent of the tax free.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Get your magnum p I going.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I've already investigated that. It's a fantastic plan. Sixty percent
of the value of your home paid out to you
for whatever reason, at any of it, at any time,
to sixty percent income tax free.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Love it. I think that's a great plan.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
It's part of it. She should be part of everybody's
retirement plan. Your kids don't want their house, and you
don't want Nobody wants your house.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Nobody's moving into that.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Oh they don't want it. I don't want the memories. Nope, No,
they're damn match to it. They could figure out a
way to get an insurance well is back to the other.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Well, well I get more in the insurance claim, or
can I sell it for more?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Whatever?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Whatever one. I'm just going to weigh the options.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
But anyach in between the Sniplings burned the house down,
that's right. What's the cause of the fire between the siblings?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Finally, Jonathan, we've got a morning Russia regular. She did
not see it as a problem. It's her friends who
have alerted her that this is a red flag.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
She lives.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
She lives with her boyfriend, and she said, I was
getting ready to go on my girls' weekend trip. I guess,
and very busy getting ready for that, as far as
she had work that she was doing and stuff. And
I came home and I'm reading her words. My sweet
boyfriend knew how pressed for time I was, and he
(15:41):
took it upon himself to go ahead and pack my
bags with all the things that I would need from
a weekend trip. And I thought it was the cutest gesture.
And I was bragging about that to my girlfriends, and
they said, that's a massive red flag. This guy's a
control freak. A control freak, I said. He was trying
(16:04):
to take the burden off of me. But am I
missing something?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Is he?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Is this a red flag that my boyfriend is going
to if we ever are to get married, he's going
to try to control what I wear, control who I
talk to. I think, first off, the fact is if
you're going away on a girl's weekend, he's not a
control freak.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah, that's the first sign that that's not true, unless
you think, for some reason he's put a tracking device
in your suitcase. Why would I even think I would
know what Sally would need on her trip out with
her girls.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I don't think. I mean you and Sally have kind
of a little bit of a different relationship, I think
than I mean, she dresses you for the most part. Right,
that's not the way it normally goes. I think most.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Guys so many times I have to go back and
change we're going to the grocery store, sugar. Not like that,
You're not. You're wearing blue on blue go change pants. Oh,
I just iron some khakis. Look in your closet on
the left.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Like I would feel comfortable packing Angela's bag, I know, I.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Have no idea where I would start. I would I
would feel we should pack it because every time she
packs to go somewhere, I don't give a damn where
we're going. It's four bags, it's four bags.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Well, and you know, ladies are going to need a
midday outfit, probably a late afternoon early evening, and perhaps
an evening out on the town.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Perhaps we don't know what we're going to be doing.
We could be going out to dinner. Then what am
I gonna wear?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Exactly? Now, you and I we will wear the same
polo shirt and dark jeans. I could wear them all weekend.
I might not even bring a bag.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I could go to the same place twice. Nobody's going
to see me there only.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Nor do I give a rip what the people of
Ashville think of me. But I just need a toothbrush
and toothpaste. That's pretty much at all. I need to
bring in some deodor, and I guess that would be
all I need. Does the hotel provide soap if.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
It's a fishing weekend, I don't even need the de
order it. But I would feel packed my tackle box
with more care.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
I would feel comfortable packing Angela's bag knowing that she
probably needs three outfits a day.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Okay, something's up here. I just don't know what it is.
Is it he's trying to be accommodating? No? Is he
making sure that you got to leave here by three
to get the airport by four to check in because
my girlfriend's coming over at three point fifteen? Possibly? Is it?
Is it he knows you're up to something and he
(18:42):
packed it so he could hide something in there, like
a tracking device? Possibly? Is it? What else?
Speaker 2 (18:49):
You're making it as ugly as possible?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Well, I mean, otherwise I'm gonna say what a great guy.
He went in there and carefully packed the zach panties
and the bra that she will need, and then thought
about where do you think should be going while she's
in cashiers? She might go apple picking? All right, so
we need like a pair of jeans and some sensible Shoesody,
No Mail, Nobody, No Mail is going to have that
(19:13):
conversation or do those kind of things. There's something up.
I don't know what's up.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Though, Well, we will debate that story tomorrow morning.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Okay, Hey, what's going on in your neighborhood. We should
be talking about you getting ready for a big Halloween.
I told you I was going to put up inflatable.
If it stops raining today, I may do it for Sarah.
I don't know. We got to get ready for a
big Friday night. Then see what you got? You got
more skeletons popping up. Skeletons are popping up everywhere. I
saw one yesterday and I literally thought it was one
(19:41):
of my neighbors who had died, because they put a
skeleton next to the mailbox. And I'm like, I know,
if you're waiting on a piece of mail in South Carolina,
you may actually die waiting at the mailbox for one
particular piece of mail.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I think that's a national problem. I think we're just
the mail has come to her.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Or maybe it was the male mail who died there.
Maybe that's why the mail is so slow. I don't know.
I did see yesterday. I think it was in must
have been right on the border of South Carolina, Georgia.
A mail truck overturned and I'm like, okay, well there's
another three week delay on whatever it is you're waiting
for sure, all right, So you can always reach out
to us on social media, and if in particular, you're
(20:21):
putting up a picture of you feeding a squirrel something
hot like a dorito or a flaming dorito or whatever
it is, or maybe something out of a bowl and
you set it out for the squirrel to come up
and eat it, so you can get those great facial
shots of him when he starts screaming. I love those.
Send me your video because I like to see him.
And you can also email us. I'm Russi at ninety
(20:43):
seven five w COS.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Dot com, Nash ninety seven five WS dot com.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Tomorrow, we're going to start talking. You're going to start
winning with the number eight oh three nine seven eight
nine two six seven six thirty is when we do
the contest for Rodney Atkins tickets.
Hello, Kelly Nash. Here Tomorrow will be HOMP Day, and
then Thursday s h I T, then tg I h
F Halloween Friday, Yes.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Some new vocab for us, and then we get lined up.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
For the really scary day that'll be Saturday.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Why that's scary because we got to play Ole Miss.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Yes, yes, that ain't gonna be fun. No, it will
not be all right, So anyway, here we go. Let's
talk about what we're going to talk about tomorrow as
we get ready to give away yet more tickets for
Rodney Atkins celebrated the Big Red Barn Retreat dot org.
That's the web page where you learn more about what
they do, including the Warrior Path Program, a nationwide program
that began here at the Big Red Barn.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yes, this is a people who've been suffering with post
traumatic stress disorder and other things brought on by being
in combat or perhaps being an EMT seeing violent things.
The Big Red Barn here to help, and we love
to help raise funds for it, and that's why that's
why we got Rodney Atkins coming this year. Now, you
(01:05):
don't have to pay for the tickets to see Rodney Atkins. Hopefully,
though you'll buy some T shirts or merchandise something, or
just make a straight up donation. But uh, it's always
I think most people prefer to get something for their donation.
So there you go, there's an opportunity. Uh, and we're
donating to you the two tickets. If you know what
(01:27):
the word a fluvium A fluvium.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, fluvium. This is a medical okay. It is not
unlike the bird flud, but it's spread only by small mammals.
You catch it from squirrels.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Squirrels, you say, squirrels car give you the effluvium. Interesting,
that is a great I would actually probably I would
agree if we were playing Hollywood Squares right now, I'll
take Jonathan in the CERNA.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
You don't want to touch that squirrels nuts. It could
be infected with the fluvium. I know that's the right answer.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
It's even more funny than that, Jonathan. The actual answer
according to the definition. And you can just go ahead
and interpret the answer however you'd like it to. I
think I know where your mind is going to go.
A vapor that is foul smelling. Are you sitting over
there a flumminating?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Again? I don't know. By the way, of all of
these squirrels videos that are popping up on social media
where they're eating like the hot doritos and stuff, because
people are leaving hot foods out for the squirrel.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Just to drive them nuts.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I don't know if those are real or ai. I
know they're funny, so I'll watch them anyway, that matter,
whether they're real or not.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
So they eat the hot dorito and then what happens.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Oh, I've got the funniest video shots that these squirrels,
and the squirrels always looking at the camera, which leads
to me to believe this is obviously fake, especially with
the one who picked up the glass of milk can
drink it. Okay, squirrels can't pick up a whole glass
of milk. But they are funny. But I know the
one where the pig is laying by the on the
(03:06):
front porch and they're like two. I don't know if
that's a piel mouse or whatever it is, but the
pig blows gas what vapor? Now, the reason I know
this to be not true is because pigs don't blow
like dust out of their butt. So you actually saw it,
(03:26):
you saw it come out. That's for it to be
a video. You have to be able to see it.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
You couldn't just hear it.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Well, a lot of people don't even turn up the
volume on those, so you got to get the full impact. Well,
these these pill dice rolled over and died.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
It was like, so they cocked their legs when they're
gonna afflute. No, he was laying there sleeping, so he's, oh,
he don't even know what's going on. No, he's just
blue one out right there. Interesting.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
What do they call that when you do it in
the bed under the covers? That dutch oven?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yes, yes, that's if that's if you pull the sheets
over like your girlfriend's head or something, don't you dutch oven?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Her? Wow, this is school. It's so gross. Any people
always talk about how they live in the high school,
they're always living in the yearbook. The middle school yearbook
was always funnier.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Really, well, what happened? I don't even remember.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Find it's always fart jokes and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I should I wonder if whatever happened to my middle
school yearbook? I should go look for it.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I don't think we ever have one. Oh, middle school
was funnier than high school.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
We've got twenty five hundred US adults. All right, they're
talking about Uh, you know, you're heading home for the holidays.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
We survey, yes, twenty five hundred. That's a large example.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
What is the topic they least want to talk about?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Politics? No, religion, No, past relationships.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
No, isn't this shocking?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Uh? Sports? No?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Exactly. According to this the thing that forty seven percent
of Americans agree on is they don't want to talk
about money.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Oh yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
That is the no. So that thing that we had
been taught as children. You never talk about politics, and
you never talk about religion.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
And when Clemson and Carolina are both having a bad season,
he don't talk about sports.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well, you try to one up the other team, right,
because we both suck, right, So our three wins are
more impressive than your three wins. That will be the conversation,
and then we'll find out who gets their fourth win.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Who was a graduate of your family from PC. They're
the only ones that can brag about anything.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Oh my gosh, I'm.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Thinking about five guys right now. It's just going nuts
with their peace team. They're undefeated, by the way, first
time since nineteen fifty eight. They're like six and.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Oho thirty one percent of Americans say uh so, which
means sixty nine percent of Americans are okay with the
idea of talking about their personal weight. Oh, sixty nine
percent of Americans are okay if somebody made a comment
about their weight. So it looked over you. Now you're
(06:29):
looking a little porkyer this year, sixty nine percent of Americans, right, yeah,
I guess I am that that that does a real
thing that I'm going through. Or maybe some of them
are feeling like people would be like, you look like
you lost weight. Maybe that's what they're thinking. But thirty
one percent are uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I think with the obesity rate right now, it must
be there's somebody else in the family. You can say, well,
at least I'm not him. At least I'm not Uncle
Joe over there.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah, fa Joe.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Last time I saw him, he was on a porch,
killed two field rats, blew.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
It out, blew it out with like a pig.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Pig butt in the video.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
So sick now fifty one percent, which leads me to
believe are we more Americans are single than not? At
this point? Fifty one percent of Americans say they would
be awkward to talk about either their love life or
who they're not with anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
The past relationship. Yeah, they don't want to talk about
past relationships. What about that girl you bought last year, Yeah,
let's not talk about her. She was cute, Yeah, let's
not talk about her.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
By the way, just the holidays. I think it's a
big deal if you invite somebody to your house for
the holidays.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Oh, that's a huge deal.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And so that I don't think that that should be
a one and done like if that if you break up,
like shortly after you brought them to the house, then
you screwed up. Something screwed up. If you're once they're
into the once they're into the holiday celebration. They minimum two.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Years, that's true, that's probably a good average.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
But if you're just out they were here for Thanksgiving,
didn't make it to Christmas, what the hell do you
do wrong?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
It's great.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
And women are less comfortable talking about money than men.
So forty eight percent of women said that they are
willing to talk about things like credit card debt, but
fifty eight percent of men said they're willing to talk
about credit card.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
How did this even come up in conversation?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Somebody would say something about I'm getting killed on these
freaking we're up to twenty nine right now. The average
credit card interest rate is now twenty nine point nine percent.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Right that is the record Thanksgiving meal.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Absolutely, absolutely think about this. If you're carrying ten thousand
dollars in credit when I think the average American is
now at like thirty five thousand dollars in credit card debt,
you're carrying an interest payment alone of like eight hundred
dollars a month. You're getting crushed dealed. Ten years ago
that interest payment would have been like a hundred. So
(09:16):
you are getting destroyed by credit card interest payments right now.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I don't know why that would come up, but apparently
it does, and they're willing to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
The men are the women not so much.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I guess I put on my list of things to
bring up at Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
But they'd rather talk about that, or they'd rather talk
about why you're no longer a Christian, why did you
switch to Buddhism. They'd rather talk about that than their
credit card interest.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
We tell me, Zuckerberg, who are we talking about here?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Anybody? I mean, I mean, I got a friend who
just became he just left the Protestant faith to become
a Catholic, said, the Protestant faith is wrong. It doesn't
understand Jesus. That's why I became a Catholic. Okay, and
sit well with the Baptists that he was talking to,
But that was his He grew up a Baptist. Said,
they got it wrong, missed it, missed the market. Bay,
(10:10):
It's an interesting conversation to have over your Thanksgiving turkey.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
You don't want to ruin the Thanksgiving turkey by talking
about religion and politics. Look, I'll just sit here and
rub my belly like Buddha. How about that. I'm not
rued about someone else.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
How long does it take for you to spend your paycheck?
By the way, speaking of money, new survey here from
researchers show that of two thousand currently employed Americans, divided
evenly by generation levels, within forty eight hours of being paid,
the average person has already spent fifty percent of their paycheck. Well,
(10:47):
I believe that it doesn't take long for it to go.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Think about your your mortgage payment or your rent, and
then your car payment, and then what an insurance payment
for your car? And then what else we got? We
got to Money's squirrelled away for our food. So yeah,
you've already got that all. It's already been accounted for.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Millennials are the quickest also, I guess the youngest in here.
The millennials say that ninety five percent of their paycheck
is spent within the first twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
You forgot your tithe. I don't know that that's supposed
to be paid first, But well.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
If you want to get the first fruits blessing that
Paula White used to brag about, there you go, paul
White special.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Don't argue with Paula White.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
And I could actually put extra into my first fruits
as a promissory note, if I remember her theory at
the time.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
This is why we don't talk about religion during the meal.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It was a promissory note. If you want to make
one hundred grand, put up ten grand right now. That's
how you're gonna because I'm I'm foreseen, but well you're
going to ten exit, right. Isn't that what that was?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
If I'm giving a ten I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
I only make fifty grand, but I want to make
a hundred grant, well, then give ten grand and then
the rest.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Will be provided. That's a seed.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yes, it's a seed.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Say this is why you don't talk about religion at
the table. The only seeds I want to talk about,
or that seed I see on that squash right there.
Let me have some more of that.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Baby boomers are doing great with money. By the way,
only eighteen percent of baby boomers feel like in a
typical month they ever feel strapped for cash, which is
surprising because most of them are now in the retired
and we often hear about how hard it is to
be retired with these inflation.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
And it's growing problem.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
It's a growing problem. But only eighteen percent of baby
boomers feel like they're strapped for cash during any given month,
unlike the current crop of Gen Z and millennials, who
are at fifty four percent.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Feel those baby boomers and must be having a bigger
problem that we thought. Otherwise, you wouldn't see those commercials
all the time about selling your life insurance policy. Plainly
there's money out there to be made for the insurance
policy people. Otherwise you wouldn't see so damn any commercials.
My husband and I thought we had planned appropriately for
our retirement, but we quickly realized we needed to supplement
(13:15):
our income well, and if.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
You you know that that's the old phrase of your
leaving money on the table.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Well, already paid for hearing one hundred thousand dollars worth
of life insurance. Yeah, you're both eighty five Okay, if
you use the money now, I'll go ahead and carve
that down to fifteen grand I think is the average
cost for a funeral if you don't get cremated, you
get cremated. I think you can do it for like
twenty five hundred if you don't tip the preacher like
you said.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I've already got one hundred grand life insurance. So that's covered,
it's all paid for, that's all said and done.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I'm like, what do you leave enough to get yourself burned?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Well, well, you wouldn't even need that if you have
the life insurance policy. Have you got one hundred thousand
dollars life insurance policy? And I've got a house that
I paid, like you know, somebody like my mother. She
bought the house for twenty two thousand dollars in nineteen
seventy two. That house now valued at four hundred thousand dollars.
She's literally sitting on four hundred thousand dollars worth of cash.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
She could do the reverse mortgage and pull up the
sixty percent of the tax free.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Get your magnum p I going.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I've already investigated that. It's a fantastic plan. Sixty percent
of the value of your home paid out to you
for whatever reason, at any of it, at any time,
to sixty percent income tax free.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Love it. I think that's a great plan.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
It's part of it. She should be part of everybody's
retirement plan. Your kids don't want their house, and you
don't want Nobody wants your house.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Nobody's moving into that.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Oh they don't want it. I don't want the memories. Nope, No,
they're damn match to it. They could figure out a
way to get an insurance well is back to the other.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Well, well I get more in the insurance claim, or
can I sell it for more?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Whatever?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Whatever one. I'm just going to weigh the options.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
But anyach in between the Sniplings burned the house down,
that's right. What's the cause of the fire between the siblings?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Finally, Jonathan, we've got a morning Russia regular. She did
not see it as a problem. It's her friends who
have alerted her that this is a red flag.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
She lives.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
She lives with her boyfriend, and she said, I was
getting ready to go on my girls' weekend trip. I guess,
and very busy getting ready for that, as far as
she had work that she was doing and stuff. And
I came home and I'm reading her words. My sweet
boyfriend knew how pressed for time I was, and he
(15:41):
took it upon himself to go ahead and pack my
bags with all the things that I would need from
a weekend trip. And I thought it was the cutest gesture.
And I was bragging about that to my girlfriends, and
they said, that's a massive red flag. This guy's a
control freak. A control freak, I said. He was trying
(16:04):
to take the burden off of me. But am I
missing something?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Is he?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Is this a red flag that my boyfriend is going
to if we ever are to get married, he's going
to try to control what I wear, control who I
talk to. I think, first off, the fact is if
you're going away on a girl's weekend, he's not a
control freak.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah, that's the first sign that that's not true, unless
you think, for some reason he's put a tracking device
in your suitcase. Why would I even think I would
know what Sally would need on her trip out with
her girls.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I don't think. I mean you and Sally have kind
of a little bit of a different relationship, I think
than I mean, she dresses you for the most part. Right,
that's not the way it normally goes. I think most.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Guys so many times I have to go back and
change we're going to the grocery store, sugar. Not like that,
You're not. You're wearing blue on blue go change pants. Oh,
I just iron some khakis. Look in your closet on
the left.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Like I would feel comfortable packing Angela's bag, I know, I.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Have no idea where I would start. I would I
would feel we should pack it because every time she
packs to go somewhere, I don't give a damn where
we're going. It's four bags, it's four bags.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Well, and you know, ladies are going to need a
midday outfit, probably a late afternoon early evening, and perhaps
an evening out on the town.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Perhaps we don't know what we're going to be doing.
We could be going out to dinner. Then what am
I gonna wear?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Exactly? Now, you and I we will wear the same
polo shirt and dark jeans. I could wear them all weekend.
I might not even bring a bag.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I could go to the same place twice. Nobody's going
to see me there only.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Nor do I give a rip what the people of
Ashville think of me. But I just need a toothbrush
and toothpaste. That's pretty much at all. I need to
bring in some deodor, and I guess that would be
all I need. Does the hotel provide soap if.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
It's a fishing weekend, I don't even need the de
order it. But I would feel packed my tackle box
with more care.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
I would feel comfortable packing Angela's bag knowing that she
probably needs three outfits a day.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Okay, something's up here. I just don't know what it is.
Is it he's trying to be accommodating? No? Is he
making sure that you got to leave here by three
to get the airport by four to check in because
my girlfriend's coming over at three point fifteen? Possibly? Is it?
Is it he knows you're up to something and he
(18:42):
packed it so he could hide something in there, like
a tracking device? Possibly? Is it? What else?
Speaker 2 (18:49):
You're making it as ugly as possible?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Well, I mean, otherwise I'm gonna say what a great guy.
He went in there and carefully packed the zach panties
and the bra that she will need, and then thought
about where do you think should be going while she's
in cashiers? She might go apple picking? All right, so
we need like a pair of jeans and some sensible Shoesody,
No Mail, Nobody, No Mail is going to have that
(19:13):
conversation or do those kind of things. There's something up.
I don't know what's up.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Though, Well, we will debate that story tomorrow morning.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Okay, Hey, what's going on in your neighborhood. We should
be talking about you getting ready for a big Halloween.
I told you I was going to put up inflatable.
If it stops raining today, I may do it for Sarah.
I don't know. We got to get ready for a
big Friday night. Then see what you got? You got
more skeletons popping up. Skeletons are popping up everywhere. I
saw one yesterday and I literally thought it was one
(19:41):
of my neighbors who had died, because they put a
skeleton next to the mailbox. And I'm like, I know,
if you're waiting on a piece of mail in South Carolina,
you may actually die waiting at the mailbox for one
particular piece of mail.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I think that's a national problem. I think we're just
the mail has come to her.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Or maybe it was the male mail who died there.
Maybe that's why the mail is so slow. I don't know.
I did see yesterday. I think it was in must
have been right on the border of South Carolina, Georgia.
A mail truck overturned and I'm like, okay, well there's
another three week delay on whatever it is you're waiting
for sure, all right, So you can always reach out
to us on social media, and if in particular, you're
(20:21):
putting up a picture of you feeding a squirrel something
hot like a dorito or a flaming dorito or whatever
it is, or maybe something out of a bowl and
you set it out for the squirrel to come up
and eat it, so you can get those great facial
shots of him when he starts screaming. I love those.
Send me your video because I like to see him.
And you can also email us. I'm Russi at ninety
