(00:00):
Hello, killing Nash. Hey there, it's tomorrow show Today. Tomorrow is
Tuesday. I'm so happy it's Tuesday. Not as happy as when it's Thursday.
No, that's s h. It so happy Thursday. I was
just kind of happy it's Tuesday.Yeah, just kind of happy. I've

(00:21):
got a little solid goes with it. They have to play that tomorrow.
Okay, So happy it's Tuesday.And I've got kids songs in my head
because I spent all weekend with littleSarah. Oh so it's always a great
weekend. We watched Blue and Magenta, and we watched some of Miss Rachel.
Now is she talking? Miss Rachel'sshe's trying to She's saying words and

(00:42):
she's speaking like Vulkan right now,Okay, Chuck talk, but pretty soon
it's coming. Yeah whatever she's tryingto say through her pacifier. Do you
think she's gonna say Grandpa first?No, She's uh, what do they
call they call me bo? Bo? Yeah, Sally insisted, I'm just
going to wait for her to comeout with a word. But they call

(01:03):
me bo. Sally calls me bo. She never called you bously, no
bo, but she knows I calla lot of people bow Oh, like
I was one of the original habos. Hey bo, hey bo. So
and look what I should have justput that on a T shirt? Come
in here, what it's sold by? Now? Altho, we've got a
little confused of because Sally took herto get her first pair of shoes,

(01:26):
and while they were getting their firstpair of shoes, they got her a
hair bow. So then Sally wassaying, where's Bo and she'd reach up
and grab her hair bow. Seenow that's an opportunity for you to slide
back in and go. I don'twant to be both. I don't want
to be both anyway. So I'mup to my ears now, and raffy,

(01:47):
miss Rachel and Blue, I've hadenough of that. Thank goodness that
one can move along. Yeah.I mean, you know what, the
fact that you're watching it sitting there. I don't want to say suffering through
it, but there's no possible wayyou'd watch any of these things on your
own proves that you love your granddaughter. Oh and that's kind of leading us

(02:09):
towards something called the bird test,which has gone viral on TikTok. Now,
we can't play the audio of theI'll say, young woman because she's
not a young lady, the youngperson, the female who's describing the bird
test, because she drops F bombafter f bomb and her description of it,

(02:29):
but she's making the case that thebird test is basically, you tell
somebody who either you're interested in romanticallyor perhaps even just interesting, because she's
using in this instance, a personwho became her friend was and they were
in that new friend zone and theydecided to meet for the first time for

(02:53):
coffee. And so they're at acoffee shop and she says, I brought
up out the bird test, andI said, look, there's a woodpecker.
Now, if the girl had justsaid, oh, that's cool and
just kept moving on, she wouldknow this is not my friend because I
can just cut it off right now. She has no interest in what I'm

(03:15):
interested in. But she said whereshe spun around, she spotted it,
and she said, for the nextten minutes, we looked up interesting facts
about woodpeckers, So I know thisis one of my people. Oh and
then you got a girl here onthe Today Show who issued it to her
boyfriend or her the guy she's interestedin, and he's interested in her.

(03:37):
He came to her house for thefirst time and as soon and she was
and she announced to the video,I'm going to try the bird test on
him. And so when he walksthrough the door, he's like said something
about yeah, sorry, I'm afew minutes late, and she goes,
oh my gosh, there's a robin. And he got excited. There's a
robin. Where's the robin? Andshe's like, oh oh. And then

(04:00):
he saw the phone and he gotkind of angry. What are you filming
this for? And she goes,you passed the bird test because you cared
that I cared. So there's arobit. Look a woodchuck? A woodchuck?
Now at some point, or doesit have to be a bird?
It's look, there's a there's aCarolina wren. Oh, I love the
Carolina wren, the way that thetail sticks up like that. I think

(04:21):
she was basically making the point itdidn't have to be a bird. But
most people aren't that interested in birds. But it's something that could be somewhat
trivial. Look, there's a sixtyseven and a half camaro that you show
interest in. Okay, now isissering? Do women pass the bird test
as well? In other words,like to your point, if somebody if
you said, oh my gosh,that's a sixty eight Camaro, would Sally

(04:45):
go, oh my gosh, whereshow me, Jonathan, I got to
see it because you're excited about it. She'd be like whatever. She would
not, but we still love him. But it also is there, it's
safe. I said, look,there's a brand new car in a driveway,
the bow on it. Oh,and she would look. Is it
also a thing about how long you'vebeen with them? Because I'm sure and

(05:10):
I hate to admit this, butI know it's true. I was far
more attentive to Angela's interests six monthsinto the relationship. Oh than I am.
You know, sixteen years later?Right? You just don't. It's
like, I know you you.My wife loves miniatures. We could do
a whole subject on that. Shejust is fascinated by people who build little

(05:35):
tiny houses. Like there's one woman. She's obsessed with. This woman removed
like the electrical socket or something onthe on the floor, okay, and
then dug into the wall and builtan exact replica of Frasier's apartment with a
skyline in everything. Wow. Butthe only way you can get to it

(05:58):
is if you go to the floorboard, open that hole and then you look
inside of it. It's only aboutsix inches wide, I guess. But
she's got like the one eighth ofan inch couch and she got a little
dog sitting on the couch. Mywife loves those things. I don't understand
it. But when she was firstshowing them to me, I feigned more

(06:19):
interest just I don't know it's evenfeigning. I was just like, oh,
this is something she's into. Butnow I got it. You like
miniature houses? How many do Igotta look at? Long? The time
she gets Kelly's attention. Now shegoes, look, there's a McDonald's.
A McDonald's. Well, I don'teven like McDonald's. No. I tried
to eat it again the other dayand I'm like, no, I don't
think so. Although on Friddy,I'm sure I'm gonna get that I don't

(06:43):
know what it is. I'm goingto get that hankering for a fish for
sandwich. The itch'll be back now. I don't think we're going to talk
about this on the show, buton the podcast, sure, why not.
Meghan Rappino is a now former soccergreat one of the greatest, one
of the greatest female soccer players ever. That's right. She'll go down in

(07:05):
history. She'll go down in historyas one of the greatest start out of
a lineup. If her hair's notthink so last night or this weekend,
I guess was. She had announcedearlier that this was going to be the
final game ever when the season ends. This will be the end of the
season. She goes into it.Now, I guess they're not making the
playoffs or something. Again, I'mnot a huge women's soccer fan, so

(07:28):
I'm not really sure about the entirebackstory. But I knew that this was
apparently a big historic event because it'sgoing to be Megan Rappino's final game ever
as a professional soccer player. Andfive minutes into it, she tore her
achilles and that was the end ofit. Now, in the postgame press
conference, she is talking about that, and she says she's going to try

(07:51):
to get the Aaron Rodgers doctor.And then she said, and I'm just
reading. I mean, you know, I'm not a great religious person or
anything, but if you're wondering ifthere's a god, this is clear proof
that there isn't a god, becauseit's so blanked out, because God would
never allow her greatest game or lastgame? Is this a scene out of

(08:13):
Caddyshack? Oh my gosh, thatwas a great comparison. I wish I'd
put those two together. And forthose of you who have never seen Caddyshack,
there's a Catholic priest who is shootingthe best round of his life in
a driving rain storm, a storm, a lightning storm, and he's got
Bill Murray as his caddy, andthey and they keeps getting worse. The

(08:35):
storm is it's getting worse, andyou see people running off the course and
he's at like the seventeenth hole insome the final guy by him and he
says, hey, Padre, youbetter get off the course. It's getting
really bad. And he says,you'll have to wait till tomorrow to finish
your round. And then he goes. He looks at Bill Murray, what
do you think, son? Idon't think that the heavy stuff still come

(08:58):
and come down for quite a while, and surely the Lord would not interrupt
the greatest round of my life.And on the last putt, he has
to make a three foot putt tobreak his personal record, and it's I
mean, it's like something looks likeGeorge Washington on the on the bottle of

(09:20):
the boat. There the wind goingsideways. He puts, he misses the
putt. He holds up his putterand his fist in defiance to God,
and he yells at farts and withthat a lightning bolt hits the club and
kills him dead. And Bill Murrayscatters off. Bilbury just lays the club
down. Yeah, scatters off,lays the back down. It just kind

(09:43):
of packs away. But maybe youknow, if again, I don't think
we would talk about this on theshow, but if we did, I
think it would be interesting to openup the phones and maybe if somebody's just
listening to the podcast, if youwant to send us a message. What
proved to you that there was aGod? How did you suddenly know there

(10:05):
is a god? A god?Because there's people like Megan Rapino. When
I posted that video this morning ofher from this weekend, I feel great
empathy for this woman. I feellike, you know, God doesn't want
anyone to be lost, and shehas had an incredible, highly favored,
believably gifted woman. And yeah,whether and it's whether it's I mean,

(10:26):
whether I appreciate it or not.Everybody, every human being has been blessed
with life, just the ability tobreathe, and then there's so many other
blessings that most of us experience.Not everybody the five senses, some people
only get four, three or whatever, but still any sense is a blessing.
The ability to enjoy friendship, youknow, taste foods, whatever.

(10:48):
There's all these things that we havethe ability to enjoy through no work of
our own. We didn't do anythingto earn being born. We didn't do
anything to earn any of these gifts. We just have them. And for
Megan Rapino, one of her giftsis she's really good at soccer and she
absolutely loves playing soccer, so thatmade her even better at it. So

(11:11):
what a great gift. There's somethingthat you love to do. Yep,
you're really good at it, andyou can make a lot of money doing
it out worldwide renown. Yeah,and and not enough. So she looks
at all of this and says,this is proof that there is no God.
But perhaps if we were able toget together like a chain of people
to you know, I've heard peopletalk about the human eyeball is proof that

(11:35):
there's God, because there's no possibleway that the eyeball could have evolved from
what if there was no eyeball?How could you have an eyeball? And
the complexities of the human eyeball aresuch that no, like we still couldn't
replicate an eyeball today with modern medicine, nobody could sit down and make one.

(11:56):
So the world's greatest mind can't doit. Yet in nature it happened,
you know, millions of years ago. Then you've got like the bumblebee
or whatever, or even the hummingbird. The hummingbird and they talk about how
it could have never evolved that waybecause the wings should break off every time
it flaps. It uses so muchthrust that it couldn't have been an evolution
thing that could be proof that there'sGod. But to me, it's more

(12:20):
along the lines of the feelings thatI have towards my wife and the opportunity
to see a child be born.Or sometimes I just think God when I'm
having like I'll be at Hall's chopHouse going I am enjoying a great steak
and wine and this is unbelievable.I remember I think it was Ben Franklin
said beer is proof that there's aGod, and he wants us to be

(12:43):
happy. Martin Luther said that aswell. So maybe if you want to
get into why you know that there'sa God and it could be an encouragement
for other people. On a morenegative note, we are obviously getting closer
and close. Are now to Thanksgivingjust a little over a week away,

(13:03):
and as that holiday comes up.For some reason, Thanksgiving seems to be
the holiday where the most family fightsbreak out. I don't know what it
is, but there's maybe there's morepeople at the house than you would have
for Christmas or whatever. But whenyou think about these people, that could
be you have a one or twopeople that have strong political affiliations and they

(13:28):
want to mock the other. Yeah. I guess it's because in like Christmas,
there is always a theme of theconversation, or there's gifts to be
there's a lot of things that keepyou busy. Thanksgiving you had the meal
and football and that's it. Soall the conversation and this is a lot
of time people the first time peoplehave been together as extended family members or
whatnot in a while. So eitherthey they pick up or they left off,

(13:52):
which was it a good place orsomewhere along the way somebody says something
and then they cling to it becausethey don't have a gift to open.
Mmm. And it's my favorite dayof the year because it's my favorite July.
Well, Fourth of July is closesecond. My favorite meal is Thanksgiving.
There are no gifts to open.There are there's nothing to clean up

(14:15):
afterwards, nothing to clean up afterwards, not for me, Oh my goodness.
So I go and fall asleep watchingthe Detroit Lions. It's a tradition
that is long standing, a traditionlike no other. Yes, Thanksgiving is
my favorite day of the year.Do you now when you fall asleep,
are you in the living rooms orotherwise? Absolutely so, everybody's sitting around

(14:39):
you. I'm so stuffed with turkey, it won't matter. I'm in a
coma. Are you laying on thecouch or are you sitting on the couch
or a chair? In my chair? So you have a chair and you
just sit there and go out out. Now when you wake up, is
it snack time? Snack time?Wake up? Immediately go into the kitchen
and find that pie or whatever.What a day. It's my favorite day

(15:01):
of the year. So we havea friend, I know, you know,
our friend doctor Dave. Doctor Davehas asked, who do you wish
you didn't have to invite the Thanksgiving? Is there if you could just have
a pass this year and one ortwo people, who would they be?
One person? I really don't likeinviting them, but I have to because

(15:24):
they're family or whatever. But who'sthat one person? If we could just
get rid of that person Thanksgiving?It would be a dream. That's good.
I like it. I like that. Okay, Hey, what's going
on as you prepare for Turkey Day? Or what you got going on in
your neighborhood? And you also gotthe Kenny montage again to me, Yeah,
