Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Killing Nash, Good morning. It's tomorrow show today, Tuesday,
the eleventh, ths Veterans Day tomorrow. A lot of people
have the day off. Federal office is closed, most banks
are closed. The Wall Street shutdowns, so the SEC's closed,
and a lot of federal offices were closed to begin with.

(00:22):
I guess they'll be hopefully worked out by Wednesday. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
I think what they're saying, you know, because there's again
for those of you trying to follow this government shutdown,
there's two procedural moves that the Democrats have and as
of right now, they're not saying that they're not going
to use them, which is so each one comes with
a thirty hour debate clause. So they're saying it the
soonest it could get to the House would be probably

(00:48):
late Wednesday night, which means the earliest that the government
would open would be Friday. So we'll see what happens.
I mean, the Duffy is taught, the Secretary Duffies that
the airports are going to be getting worse and worse
over the next several weeks, even if they reopened.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
So they said Thanksgiving quote be down to a trickle.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yes, a trickle. Yeah, it's bad. It's really bad, and
you know I'm sitting here. One of the things we
have in the Morning Rest blog right now is the
idea of your favorite pies for Thanksgiving. I love pie,
and I love Thanksgiving cakes and pie season. I don't
like the idea that people aren't going to be able

(01:31):
to get home for their favorite pies. Are they going
to have to drive? What kind of I was? We
were at the Big Red Barn retreat on Saturday night
and one of the guys was telling me that he
refuses to fly now and he drove all the way
up from just north of Miami.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
He was like, normally I would have taken a plane,
but it's just too inconsistent, and so he's making that
trip and he works for the township.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah, you can't play sha bet you're gonna be somewhere
at a particular time. You're going to miss Thanksgiving at
four o'clock, the you ever popular four o'clock Thanksgiving meal.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Everybody, I would assume assumed that the number one pie
is pumpkin for Thanksgiving, and that would be a correct guess.
But what other pies do you put on your favorite? Now?
It says Thanksgiving pies but I didn't even have this
for Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
I don't think I'm going to guess that in South
Carolina the next one will be pecan.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
That's number three. I don't know. Number two is apple.
Really they love the apple pies. And that is my
father in law. Yep, shout out to Tiffany's Bakery, who
doesn't pay me a nickel and charges me full price
every time I go in there. But my father in
law lives for the apple pies at Tiffany's. He swears

(02:55):
it's as good as his mother's. He grew up like
in Edgefield, South Carolina, and grew up in the fifties
and sixties, and he says, this is as good as
as mama's. And his mama made pies. Think about what
think about this gift. She knew she was dying. She
made like twenty pies before she died and gave him

(03:16):
to him and he froze him and he would have
one a year after she died. Wow, and he ate
he ate the last pie, like five six years ago. Yeah,
he loved his mama and he loved her pies. But
he says Tiffany's is almost as good. So at least
on the apple pie, pecan is three sweet potato. Number four.

(03:41):
I love cherry pies. I do admit that number five
the key line pies I used to be a bigger
fan of, Not as much anymore these days. The cream pie, now,
I guess they mean like from where I'm from, we
would call him Boston cream pies. Those were really good.
Peach pies. I never liked a peach pie.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
I liked them, but you know, we grew up in
peach country.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
And we used to eat these. I don't even think
it was a Thanksgiving thing. I don't even remember what
the event would have been. But the peanut butter pies
with the chocolate crust.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
I don't think I ever had one of those.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Gosh, we have peanut butter cookies.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Imagine another peanut butter pie.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Imagine if you could take a peanut butter cup and
turn it into a pie. That's how I felt when
I was a kid eating those things. And I don't
know why those aren't bigger.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Well, I did say, but I showed it to Sally
about a month ago when you sent it to me,
and I forgot why I came up with the conversation,
but I said, I wish I had a recipe for
a pop tart. Oh yeah, cake, Kelly got me a
recipe for a pop tart cake. I'm going to insist
I have that for Thanksgiving? Are you want I want
the strawberry? Once putting your foot down, Yeah, I am,
I want it. I want it. I want it.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Big Papa says yes.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
And if you don't fix it, I will. I will
hire it fixed, and then I will eat the whole
damn thing.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
No pieces for the rest.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
No, it's mine. Wow.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Well that's that is a unique holiday tradition. You might
be starting this year and think about it. Lee and
David John just got married or is about to get
rid of I guess that this may be a new
family tradition that they will continue for decades and generations
to conference. Everybody knows about Grandpa's favorite pop tart pie.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Name a food with a longer history than the pop tart. Yeah,
I don't even know when the first pop tart came out.
It's I'm sure they're foods.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah, I'm gonna guess like thirties or something like that.
Maybe the forties. That's interesting.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Lipton soup, I don't know, But nonetheless.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
You make a bold statement and then off.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
It's a multi generational treat. We'll put it that way.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
It's been loved my entire life.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yes, all right. So and the sweet potato pie. It
seems like we always had like sweet potato sou flets
and stuff like that, so we had a different but
it wasn't really a pie. But I see where the
sweet potato pie would be very popular.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
And I missed how you said it. Was it a
pecan or pecan?

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Now, if you pick it up off the ground, it's
a peacan. If you put it in ice cream or
a pie, it's a pecan.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Then it gets fancy. Yeah, it fancified it.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah, but if you just pick it up off the ground,
let's peakan can't.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Hey, Jonathan, next time you go to the target, and
I do. You go to target often.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Very rarely has to be something I can only find
a target and need it, like I can't think of
anything right now, but it would be something I looked
up I can only find at the target. No reason
I go.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
But I want you to know that when you see
an employee, they're doing this under duress. Now the target
came out with a memo. I guess last week, and
I'm just reading from the story here. The new company
directive says all workers have to smile and attempt to

(06:52):
make eye contact with any customer that comes within ten
feet of them. They also ask that if they need
help or attempt to make small talk with them within
four feet, you should attempt to have at least a
thirty second conversation with the customers. These new rules are
aimed at improving customer experience. After declining sales after the

(07:15):
boycotts over the DEI measures, the company is planning to
remodel in upgrade stores as well. Now according to this,
I have never felt this Walmart and Disney. Now I
imagine Disney. Walmart and Disney have had these smile rules
in place for years there.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
I had no idea.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
I've never felt small. Matter of fact, I can tell
you I was at Walmart Sunday and I I was
looking for a type of protein bar that I had
read that they had at the Walmarts. Normally you have
to pay a lot of money for it, so I figured, well,
if it's at the Walmart's, probably get it at discount,

(07:56):
same kind. So I wanted to talk to one of
the employees. This is hysterical that I remembered it. She's
standing there on her cell phone while she's supposed to
be working, right she's on herself. No, no, no, she's
actually in there. She's on the wall. She's on the
aisle where the power like the protein bars are and
you know, protein shakes and all these other things. So

(08:18):
she's supposed to be stocking stuff there. I think she's
on the phone and I don't know who she's arguing with.
I guess it's her boyfriend maybe, and she's dropping f
bombs and all kinds of things, and she's saying like, well,
we're on a podcast, so i'll use part of the language.
My ass can already go to jail because I've been
driving without a license to come to this fin job

(08:40):
for about a month now. If they catch me what
I so, don't give me any blank about this because
I'm not even supposed to be here working right now
because I don't have a license. It's suspended. And then
when I waited patiently, and then she finally got off
the phone, and then when she got off the phone,
she turned her back to me and she's starting and

(09:01):
I said, pardon me, ma'am, I'm looking for and I
said the name of the thing, and she never even
looked around. She never even looked back at me. She said,
if we got it, it'll be at the top of
the shelf. Okay, well, thank you.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Off is forty feet long.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah, you've been very helpful.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Thank you, ma'am.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Is that part of the smile policy? I care for Walmart,
but it's interesting. I do like the idea of them
trying to force the employees to be nice to me,
because that's kind of what you're supposed to be.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Yeah, and I go out of my way, like in
publics if you say I can never find this item,
I'm looking for a bus and oh, it's on all three.
I'll take you there. You don't have to take me.
I got it. Yeah, but it's nice that you offered.
They insist that because that's a company directed. Here's something
else I didn't know about publics. One of the guys
that I knew because I see him so often, we

(09:53):
were walking somewhere and he stops and picks up a
piece of paper and it was somebody shopping list draw
and he said, that's the public's policy. If it's on
the floor, pick it up. You don't ever walk as
an employee. You don't ever walk past anything on the
floor pick it up.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Well, I mean that's a that's a gay policy. Well
it's that, and it just makes the store look better.
And you know, why wouldn't choose you make? It forces
a sense of pride, I think in your workplace, like
our place looks good. And I appreciate these policies, but
just know that they're not flirting with you guys, the
ladies that were because they have to. They have to.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
They have to.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah, and how much flair do I have to wear
from office.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Spec I don't feel special.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
You're not special, you're just in a regular customer at Target.
But I do appreciate the fact that they're doing that.
Let's see, coming up six point thirty tomorrow morning, we're
going to give away a pair of tickets I guess
to the Colonial Life Arena. They've got the world's toughest rodeo.
Since I don't know why is it the world's toughest rodeo?
What what stick do they measure that off of?

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Now I know that they're several different rodeo circuits and
levels and all. That's kind of like the I think
I don't. I don't know anything other than they just
different levels. But cinches is not just a pun. CINCHZ
is the toughest worlds worlds.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Nobody on the Earth has a tougher rodeo. They're going
to be having their big event at the Colonial Life
Arena two nights, Friday night, March twenty seventh and Saturday night,
March twenty eighth. We're gonna give away a pair of
tickets to the Friday show. If you know the word
of the day, well, actually you just need to know
the definition the word of the day. If I can
try to pronounce this indeficable, indefinitigable.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Indeficable in deathite.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
You've got a team there, you got indefiable, indeftigable something.
Oh oh, I know this is definable.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
This is uh, you're an energizer, bunny.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
That's the definition.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
I guess plainly, I'm going to some kind of medication
over here in my brain. Is not right today?

Speaker 2 (12:00):
You know what, though I'll accept that as correct, I
wouldn't do it on tomorrow because we need you to
click for ticks. We want you to read the words
back to us. But the words are tireless, endlessly persistent.
There you go, you're Energizer Bunny, endlessly persistent. You can't
use the Energizer Bunny answer and get it rest not
on the web page. If you know what though, maybe

(12:20):
that would. Maybe we'll give them a bonus credit. I
don't know what a bonus credit actually means, but we'll
give you an extra special pat on the back because
you obviously listened to Jonathan on the podcast. It's a
great way.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
That's that's a great way to drive a little extra
benefit for our listeners. If you knew my definition of it,
you get bonus points. I don't know what the bonus
point is going to be. I got to figure out something.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Oh, I guess said is an extra special pat on
the back? Okay? Or do we have like a used
to have like the Morning Rush irregular cards.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Yeah, we sent them a card frequent listeners.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Yeah, you won the card.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
You were Mourning Rush regular with a frequent listener card
and you had a number on it.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
It entitles you to no discounts anywhere at any time,
but keep it in your wallet with you at all
at all times, just in case you're stopped and asked
for it.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
About a year and a half ago, I had somebody.
Actually they didn't have it in their wallet, but they
showed me a picture of it on their phone. That's
they were like number sixty seven. They're very proud of
that one.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Of course, early to the game, and finally, Jonathan, we
got a Morning Russell regular who her friends are giving
her a hard time about it. She you know, she's
doing the internet dating thing. Swipe right, I think is
a swipe right if you're interested, swipe left if you're not.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
I think it left. Well, one you swipe if you
want if you're interested in them, and then the other
one you swipe the other way if you're not interested.
I think you swipe left if you're not interested, you
swipe right if you are interested. I could be wrong
on that either way. She swiped right and he swiped right,
and then they had a match right, because they're not
going to match you until both of you say you're interested. Okay,

(13:54):
So they meet for the date and I'm just reading
from her email now. He looked nothing like the profile photos,
and like halfway through the date, I literally couldn't take
it anymore, and I just told him right to his face.
I said, listen, you lied because you don't look anything
at all like that profile photo that you posted. I
don't even think that was you, and I ended up

(14:15):
just leaving and my friends are now telling me that
I'm very shallow and that was a jerk move. Should
she have stayed and gone on with the date knowing
that she's now she's angry, and I think rightfully so,
because if you're dating off of a profile on your
photo is key. Yeah, And I'm not saying don't put

(14:38):
up the best possible photograph of yourself, but it has
to be of yourself, and it also has to be
within the last year or two. It can't be a
photo of you from the college era and you're a
forty eight year old man dating a twenty two year
old girl, or it can't be you one hundred pounds
ago before you went on this bulkfest. It's got a

(15:00):
be something that represents what you would look like today,
again in the best possible light. But I think she's right,
you're a liar if you posted a photo of either
somebody who's not you or somebody who used to be you,
so I would I would have walked out as well.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
If it were a photo of entirely different person. Okay,
you got no argument. Now if the photo was of
you and you like filtered it and all that stuff,
maybe photoshopped it, whatever it is, or maybe it was
five years ago, if you sat down and immediately said,
I look, I realized that photo does not necessarily represent
the way I.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Look right now. Okay, well I'll be leaving now. I mean,
because you're you're, you're, you're you're fishing. You're fishing with
fake bait. You don't even if I'm a fish, I
want to have a side into a real worm. That's
not even a real worm. Look that whole hinge thing.
I disabled that years ago. I just put it back

(15:56):
up and just used the same photo from five years ago.
That's that then come off.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Good either, No, they come up with an excuse here,
I can't do it.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
No, I agree with her. You got this date off
false pretenses. And look, it's like if you're it's like
for the guys who go fishing for gold diggers, and
there's guys who are looking for gold diggers. They but
they don't have the gold. They fake like they've got gold,
and then they get the gold digger and then they

(16:24):
get upset when the gold digger is like, wait a second,
you just borrowed this car. We're going to We're going
to I'm trying to think of something local. You know,
we're going to friendly We're going to TGI Fridays for dinner.
You're supposed to be, mister money man. I'm not saying
it's right or it's wrong, but I'm saying that you're wrong.
If you're fishing with an old photo of yourself, or
you're fishing with a photo that's not even you, you

(16:46):
shouldn't be surprised when the girl gets upset or the guy,
and so vice versa. If the if the girl is
fishing with a photo that's not her. I did that
one time years ago, not on a dating app. A girl,
a listener, a radio fanatic sent me, not even an email,
it was a postal. That's how long ago this was.
She mailed me photos of herself and there was a

(17:09):
number of photos of her in there. And she liked
the fact that I talked about pro wrestling on the air,
and so she was a pro wrestling fan, and these
were photos of her with pro wrestlers. But those polaroid
they were printed off photos, not polaroids. But but these
photos were taken like seven years ago. The so what

(17:29):
I said, Okay, yeah, i'll meet you. She shows up,
she's literally one hundred pounds heavier than she was in
those photographs. More like the wrestler, exactly did you eat?
Paul Hogan? Who are you?

Speaker 1 (17:40):
We are going to hear from guys tomorrow saying that
it's not exactly the same, But the way women present
themselves daily certainly does kind of encroach a little bit
into misrepresentation.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Is that when what was the comedian's name, Chris Rock
and he was like, He's like, women, you loud all
the time. Your lips ain't that red. You ain't that
tall with your high heels. Your hair ain't even real
it's a wig.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Nope, Yo, buddy, ain't even that big. Hey, what's going
on in your neighborhood? We should be talking about it.
Let's know and reach out to us on social media.
You can also email us I am rush at ninety
seven five, but you seal US dot com.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Nation at ninety seven five to b s US dot com.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Tomorrow Veterans Day, Big salute to veterans, thank you for
your service, and we will be here working hard for
you tomorrow in the morning rush
