Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Kelly Nash. Hey there, it's Tomorrow Show Today Tomorrow
tgif getting ready for the weekend. We'll kick it off
with high school football, then we get ready for what
have We got a seven o'clock kickoff for who Caroline?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Four four o'clock. That's right, And that's why Shane Beemer
asked it. You'd be in your seats three thirty. Yeah,
because that's when they're going to honor the seniors and
it's the last time that they get a chance to
come on out on the field at Williams Bryce and
be saluted, and so hopefully everybody will be able to
make it down there tomorrow about three thirty, and.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Then Clemson kicks off. Because I'm going to be in
the upstate.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Are you going to go see Clempson play?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
No, I'm not going to the game. I just got
to figure out. I got to make sure I don't
get on Clempson Boulevard and Anderson Well.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Ah, well they got Citadel at three thirty is the kickoff.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I'll be out. I got to be back in Columbia,
so we'll be getting up leaving earlier. So I don't
know what I was thinking about anyway. So that won't.
I won't hit any of that traffic trying to go
get a cup of coffee at the dunkn.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Wow, you're going to go up in that neck of
the woods though, Huh yeah. I mean, in all honesty
from I have been a cumpson game in fifteen years.
But lj our old boss, who is a cumpson guy,
he would tell me that on Friday afternoons it would
get crazy around that area.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Oh you don't tell me. I used to live off
at Clempson Boulevard, so.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
If you might be in traffic, I could figure I.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Could get him out of my apartment complex and turn white,
but I could never get back until Sunday.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
We're and we're we you know. I know my brother
in law doesn't listen to this podcast, but he's a
huge Clemson fan. And so I told my wife, I
can't believe we're spending.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Money on this.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
But she went and got a nineteen eighty one championship poster.
I had it framed and that will be his Christmas
gift this year. I'm like, we're spending money on Clemson crap.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
She'd to make me feel better, She's like, well, it
doesn't go directly to Clemson. It goes to the store
that I bought it from, which is a used poster.
I mean, Clemson got their money on that back in
the eighties, right, So I'm not subsidizing the orange and purple.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
All right. So we got that coming down, and then
tomorrow morning on the Morning Russ six thirty, we're going
to give you what you taught about, opportunity to win
yourself Kelsey Bellerini tickets for the Charleston Show.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah. And this is a word that is actually not
even an English word, but we've heard a lot of
people using it the last when was the election, like
two weeks ago, now, a little over two weeks ago,
Shodden Frouday. Jonathan's giving me the look.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
You're German totally. You should know this lost it.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
That is the German word that means getting pleasure from
someone else's pain. Oh, Shoden Friday. And that's if you
know I mentioned today I do. I'm not doing TikTok
videos trying to do them every day. And I use
that as my explanation today because we're on that thing.
(03:09):
I tried to do political comedy on the TikTok and
so we're talking about how you might have seen the news.
MSNBC is in a tail spin right now. They're going
to sell it or spin it off. And CNN is
firing like three quarters of the staff over the next
few weeks. And it's a bad time to be in
liberal media right now. But the only good news right
(03:32):
now for liberal media is the View. The View has
got its highest ratings since Barbara Walter's retirement. So twenty
fourteen was the peak of the View and this week,
in the last few weeks, they've added over a million viewers.
Now wow, So they're at three point three million viewers
on average per show, which is huge numbers, and congratulations,
(03:56):
But I believe that is the schadenfrouday, meaning people just
want to watch the ladies of the View cry. So
it helped the ratings. And if you have if you
didn't see the video yesterday, oh that was brutal. That
is must see TV ABC people they're just now, they're
just coming up with ways to make them cry. They
(04:17):
made Sonny Hosten apologize to Matt Gates and she does,
Oh my gosh, she's in agony. She's doing it.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
She has to read the legal note. You have a
legal note, yeah, and you have to.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Read it as all the lawyers I heard talking about it.
She was not in any legal jeopardy, nor was ABC
at any point over anything that she has said. They
just wanted to hurt her because it's fun for the
audience to watch her being pained. It was fun for
me bow down and lick the boots of the Republican Party.
So that's apparently what's going on at ABC to try
(04:51):
to get ratings. We're just going to torture the hosts.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And you're thinking, well, why would they keep coming back
because it's catered. Oh yeah, a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Shaden Friday, So we'll be talking about that tomorrow for
your Kelsey Ballerini concert tickets that show again April ninth,
also on the docket as it were for tomorrow. Did
we lose the ability for gen Z to creatively dress themselves?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Apparently that has been something that they decided they're just
not going to go through the effort anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
It's a bizarre thing because, as it's pointed out in
the story by several people who are millennials and older,
so gen Z was the first. The oldest gen Zers
were born in ninety seven, so what does that put
you in, like twenty seven years old.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Now, something like that.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
And so college age girls till mid to late twenties,
that's the gen zers, and millennials would be in their
thirties for the most part, late late twenties into their thirties,
and I guess maybe even early forties. And the millennials
are pointing out what all other women have said for years,
(06:09):
which is it would be a horror show to arrive
at an event and somebody is wearing the same outfit
as me, anybody, never mind multiple people. And there's this
photo that went viral of all these I'm guessing they're
college age women. They all look like they're in their
early twenties. They're standing on a street corner in Alabama,
(06:31):
so I'm guessing these are either Auburn or Alabama students.
And all the girls are wearing pretty much identical the
same thing, blue jeans with a blacktop. Now, some of
the blacktops are tank tops, some of them are long sleeves,
some of them are three quarter sleeves. They're all blue jeans.
Some of them are wearing white sneakers, some of them
are wearing black boots.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
But it's blue jeans, black top. And then they go
and they point out that this is the first generation
that has been totally dominated in their growth by social media,
particularly influencers, and influencers are influenced by influencers. So as
an influencer sees another influencer getting more clicks, they tend
(07:15):
to try to move in that direction. And for whatever reasons,
about five years ago, somebody wearing Now they're trying to
trace it back. They think it might be Justin Bieber's wife.
Justin Bieber's wife, Haley gets a ton of clicks and
she's a big fan of blue jeans black tops. But then,
you know, you can look at even names that we
(07:37):
wouldn't know. I don't know who Nadia Bartel is. Apparently
she's got like fifteen million followers. She's famous for being attractive. Yeah,
she's famous for being attractive, I guess. And she wears
a ton of blue jeans and black tops. Now, other
influencers see those clicks and they start wearing blue jeans
(07:58):
and black tops. And then the girls that are, you know,
at that time, growing up in middle school and into
high school, they're like, that's the way I should dress.
So then they wear the blue jem blacktops, and now
they're all wearing the exact same thing for the most part,
and nobody wants to vary from it. But I'm gonna
go ahead and rather than macket, I'm going to salute it,
because they're really just doing the Steve Jobs. Look, Steve
(08:20):
Jobs brilliant created Apple said he wears blue jeans and
a black top every day because it saves his mind
the energy of trying to come up with something creative
to wear. I don't have to match anything, right, I've
already got it figured out.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
One less decision. Take it off the table, I think.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I think was it Einstein one of those other original
smart dudes, Edison one of them. They came up with
that idea as well. Take that off the Take that
off the table. I'm gonna eat the same thing for
breakfast every morning. I'm gonna sandwich at lunch. I'm wearing
blue jeans and a black top. I can devote my
(08:58):
mental energy towards more important things than trying to figure
out shit does this black shoes go with this brown pant?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I have threatened to do that because I'll come home
and Sally, but go, what are you wearing? Well, the
clothes I have on, who told you to wear that?
There was nobody up at four o'clock. The caped me out,
So I thought that meanute was good, or I was
thinking that I really had just gone I should just go.
(09:30):
All black.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Works it work. I mean it's slimming, right, she's always
complaining about your weight. That's a slimming look. It's always
in fashion. It's it's hard to go wrong.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
And all black, all black.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I am a navy blue guy myself, probably eighty percent
of my clothes or in that navy blue or possibly
olive green. For whatever reason, I just know that that
when I wear those types of colors, I get the
most compliments. So I just tend to wear those types
of car I wear other things. I haven't made it
a uniform.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I might be more comfortable going Shane Beemer.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Now what does that mean?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Just a different Gamecock shirt with a pair of khaki.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Khakis in Columbia, South Carolina are always the thing. Always,
that is the rub, that is the move. Here's a
move that's happening in Columbia, South Carolina. Last night, the
Columbia City Council had a first reading, and I think
it passed unanimously. Now the mayor was not at the reading,
so we can't blame Rickenman.
Speaker 3 (10:35):

lost twenty pounds already changed my life. I wasn't expecting
it to shut off the food noise.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
But all the other city council members apparently voted to
pass this. They want to double the parking rates in Colombia,
double it per hour when you're at the meter. They're
also going to increase It doesn't say in the story
what the fees are for a parking garage. Those will
(11:56):
all go up. However, the first hour at the garage
will be free, but then it's a they're like two
hours in the future would be more. Hour be more
than if you went for two hours now. And that's
with the first hour free. So I don't know what
that means, but it's going to be a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
The fine tricky with the first hour.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
The fines are through the roof. So they tripled the
parking ticket, more than tripled it. And if you're in
a fire lane, they're increasing that charge by four hundred
and eighty dollars, So don't park in a fire lane.
And I guess we're trying.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
We're maybe parking a fire lane. Who would park it
a fire lane?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
A lot of people parking, like if you're in front
of like a target or something like that, and you
just park there for a second to run in and
grab like the television.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
A fire lanes right there.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
They're going to come and whack you hard. And finally,
I don't know if this is a move specifically targeted
at the elderly, but it sure feels that way. They're
going to remove eventually any parking meter that can accept
cash or coins. They want it all on the.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Credit I don't have the app. I do have a card,
but I haven't charged it up. I guess the app
is going to be the way you're going to need
to go to make this as easy as possible in
the future. I need to get the app.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Well, I mean for me and you. If it takes
credit cards, that's easy, that's true. I know how to
use a credit card. I know older people don't like
to use credit cards. They feel I don't know what
they feel. It's hard for me to put myself in
their shoes, but they.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I would rather for something like parking with the City
of Columbia, any governmental agency. I would rather use a card,
and I know I would if I'm going to use
a credit card, which one I'm using? I got. I
got a card with a five hundred dollars limit on
it just for instances like this, because I know it's
damn likely it's going to be hacked. So I always
get a car that has a limit on it. That way,
(13:55):
nobody can get more than five hundred bucks depending on
how much money I've already spent for the month on that.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, I mean like it was a kind of I mean,
when was Nikki Haley the governor and the whole hack
thing happened. Was that like twenty twelve. I guess it's
been like over a decade. All of our stuff, if
you have been living in South Carolina, your birth date,
your social Security number, any kind of information, your maiden name,
(14:23):
all of that is in some sort of Russian hackers
hands right now, and they apparently they sell it for
about a dollar a person, so they've got everything there
is to know about you. It's all over the world,
and you should be monitoring yourselves.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Oh, I have the life as possible.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, you and I do. But I'm saying for those
other people who are like, well, I'm just going to
monitor my one credit report, you're screwed because by the
time it gets to your credit report, they've already they've
already drained your bank account.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, if you get hacked by twelve o'clock today, they've
already done all their Christmas shopping by two.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
So you're the one that got me recently was my
health savings account. I don't know if it was somebody
who worked at a doctor's office or at a pharmacy
or wherever, but they copied down that information. And because
that's not really monitored by my credit agencies, because it's
not using credit, it's just taking cash out of that account,
(15:23):
they drained it dry.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Lifelo doesn't.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
So they got like about eight thousand dollars from me
and it took about a year to get that money back. Wow,
So it wasn't easy. But they found something that they
could buy on like Amazon or something.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah, there's there's a lot of things on Amazon that
HSA approved.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
And it was like five hundred dollars per item, and
they just kept buy it, kept buying, buy it, buy it,
buy it, buy it by and they just kept doing
that until the money ran out and then they're like, okay,
we're done. And they did it all in like an hour,
and so in an hour or they took like eight
thousand dollars from me, and Amazon felt no remorse, but
(16:06):
I have no remorse.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
They don't care.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
But what do you think about this idea of significantly
raising the parking fees around here? They say that they
want to raise they want to increase the fees on
you by seventeen million dollars, so it's gonna be a
lot more pricey to go downtown.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
They would also point out that you're gonna get nicer things,
but that's seventeen million dollars. You're gonna have a lot
more security cameras. You should feel a lot safer. They're
going to increase security. They're going to be able to
do some art stuff downtown. I guess they're I don't
know what else they're doing.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
But uber people ought to love this. It's cheaper to
uber in and uber out than it is to use
the parking meter.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Could be it could be. Yeah, that's an interesting uh,
because it gets you with the first hour free that's
in the garage.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, you go, you know, you're going to be there
if you think I'm going to be in and out
and out, or I can just park at the garage.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
For free if you can make it in an sixty
one minutes, be a little quicker there.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
It just missed. It gotta be a little past.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
You've got to be out of the garage within.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
The that's right. Yeah. I kind of like the new things.
I've used them before. The one downtown, I forgot what
what's true? I guess it's off the sumpter, you know,
I like it. It's okay. I understand. Of the garage, certainly,
it would be better because guarantee, if you're trying to
put meters up there, people, that's going to bam those
into the wall, you know. So I get it. It's okay.
(17:41):
But the increase prices, yeah, they're going.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
To be more than triple. Yeah, I think double the rates.
By the way, just thank god you don't live in
New York City.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Now.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I know they're trying to rethink this a little bit
and maybe tinker with it a little bit more, but
they've got something what do they call it again, It's
like priority use or something where certain streets in Manhattan
if you want to go into those neighborhoods after like
seven in the morning and before six o'clock at night.
(18:12):
There's a toll to get into the streets. So it's
good and it's not a cheap toll. It's like thirty dollars.
So if you want to drive below like fifty eighth Street,
and if you want to be above, soho, that's where
they're going to whack you. And they're going to whack
you hard. And you know, according to the mayor and
(18:33):
the governor and all those people, the goal is to
get to stop cars from coming here. We don't want
cars cars, So they want everybody on a subway, they
want everybody to use the taxis that are already in
that district, or take a bus, whatever. But they say
that they're taking that from other cities from around the
(18:54):
world that are having great success with it. And if
it starts working in New York, I imagine it'll start
being spread to bigger, you know, bigger cities in the
US the first few years, then it'll make its way
into smaller cities like Nashville, and then probably in ten
to fifteen years, it'll hit the small small cities like Columbia,
South Carolina probably, so you might be getting charged if
(19:17):
you want to go on Gervais Street or Ug Street
or something like that in the future.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Ooh, that would be miserable. Okay, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
You don't want to contemplate that right now. Well, the
final reading on this bill, York, the final reading on
this bill is December third, so that's what like two
weeks from now, three weeks whatever it is. It's that
first what is it Tuesday or Wednesday of the month,
so you can go. They encourage you to go go
(19:48):
to the city council meeting and let your voice be
heard that you are upset about this, or if you
want to reach out to your city council members before
then send them an email, send them, just call their
off offices. You're not going to talk to them, but
you'll talk to somebody and perhaps you could change it,
or maybe you like it. And if you like the
(20:08):
idea of getting nicer new things in downtown Columbia and
just spending more money on these things, and that's great,
let it ride. It'll begin January first, so we're just
over a month away from all that new stuff hitting you.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Mmmmmmmm. That's not a good sign. You don't like it.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Now, I remember, didn't Greenville. Didn't Greenville blossom because of
they took away parking meters. They were like, we want
people to come downtown and we want them to spend
as much time as they want here. So we're going
to try to increase the amount of parking, and we're
going to make it either really super affordable or we're
(20:48):
just going to do away with it altogether. And that
was how they kind of grew beginning in the early
two thousand.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
You know, I believe that's true.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
So it seems that we're going the other way.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
You mean in the Midlands and here in the City
of Columbia, possibly maybe Richland County. You're thinking that for
some reason, taxes would deter or with fees tax same thing,
so fees would deter. We haven't seen that in the
history of the Midlands. Now we'll getting into the other podcast.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
It's the rich paying their fair share. And fortunately you're rich.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
You got parking metermoney. Hey, what's going on in your neighborhood.
Maybe you ought to put some parking meters in front
of your house in the park.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Here, you know, just the time for Thanksgiving, you're charging
the people great.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I'm going to get in touch with the parking meter
people and buy some of those damn things because I
could sell them. I'll tell you what I'll do. I
will install it, and i will handle the electronic transfer
of the cash, and I'll only keep a small fee.
This is good.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I want to get the testimony. The testimony yesterday for
Visa and MasterCard in front of the Senate yesterday.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
I did not see it. That was brutal.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
The two CEOs admitted that the markup is more than
fifty percent, that the profit margin is over fifty percent,
and they were The senators were like, so you're telling
me that gas stations have a profit margin of one percent,
you have a profit margin on what they charge of
(22:27):
fifty percent. Yes, and you're saying that we cannot allow
any more competition when you have eighty seven percent of
the credit card market.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
That's correct, that's correct.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
We cannot now. Then they were like, what do you
think the debt has done in the last five years?
The American debts increased something like eightyfold in the last
five years.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Credit card debt.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
One point seven trillion dollars. In personal debt, it was
less than five hundred million during the Try administration.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Yes, we're through the roof with.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Debt, and they're like, and you keep increasing your fees.
Right now, the average debt is twenty eight point nine percent.
Is what you're charging on it. Twenty eight point nine percent.
Five years ago you were charging twenty one percent. Five
years previous to that, you were charging twelve percent. So
you've tripled the debt rate in the last ten years
(23:24):
you've made You don't even know what you're earning. I
can tell you what you're earning, but you don't even know.
Your testimony is you don't know how much money you
made last year. It's really shocking.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah, not the raw dollar number.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, No, I don't have that in front of me, Senator.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I could have our accounting office. They could turn that
around for You're probably in six seven days maybe, yeah, exactly.
We'll get back to you on there a lot of
calculations going on to.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
The Forbes magazine.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
You want describe the date that we make the report
or do you want to make it on the anticipated
date that we'll make report, because there's three days difference
there and the amount of money we're making. That's that's
a that's going to be a large billions a day,
So I don't know, I don't know. We don't want
to short can ball park it for you? Senator, Hey,
what's happening in your neighborhood? Thinking about putting us some
(24:09):
parking meters? I'm your man, try and rush to the rescue. Yeah,
the meter may do that, all right? So now also
tomorrow morning, six point thirty, that's your chance to win.
You use the same number used to start talking. We
start talking, maybe we get some public outrage going here.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
We're firing them up at the city council.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
And the city city councils. I'm going to be sitting
there listening to their Morgan Whalen songs. Then they ain't
gonna be listening. They got to hear that wrong.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Do you think he Jeff Bridges literally doesn't know.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Who Morgan Wallen is. I would almost bet it. Wow,
he has no idea who Morgan Walling is. That's insane.
How awkward was that? And the funny part is is
he wasn't even paying attention because the snippet that we
played this morning and probably you'll see on social media,
but right before that, they show on the video screen
all the nominees and they announced their names, so he
(24:56):
literally just heard Morgan Wallen's name like teen suckets before
he announced it, and he still screwed it up. Morgan Whalen,
Is he drunk? Number gotta be aight? Oh three nine
seven eight nine two six seven eight oh three nine
seven eight nine two six seven tomorrow on the Morning Rush.
Thank god it's Friday,
Hello, Kelly Nash. Hey there, it's Tomorrow Show Today Tomorrow
tgif getting ready for the weekend. We'll kick it off
with high school football, then we get ready for what
have We got a seven o'clock kickoff for who Caroline?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Four four o'clock. That's right, And that's why Shane Beemer
asked it. You'd be in your seats three thirty. Yeah,
because that's when they're going to honor the seniors and
it's the last time that they get a chance to
come on out on the field at Williams Bryce and
be saluted, and so hopefully everybody will be able to
make it down there tomorrow about three thirty, and.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Then Clemson kicks off. Because I'm going to be in
the upstate.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Are you going to go see Clempson play?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
No, I'm not going to the game. I just got
to figure out. I got to make sure I don't
get on Clempson Boulevard and Anderson Well.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Ah, well they got Citadel at three thirty is the kickoff.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I'll be out. I got to be back in Columbia,
so we'll be getting up leaving earlier. So I don't
know what I was thinking about anyway. So that won't.
I won't hit any of that traffic trying to go
get a cup of coffee at the dunkn.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Wow, you're going to go up in that neck of
the woods though, Huh yeah. I mean, in all honesty
from I have been a cumpson game in fifteen years.
But lj our old boss, who is a cumpson guy,
he would tell me that on Friday afternoons it would
get crazy around that area.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Oh you don't tell me. I used to live off
at Clempson Boulevard, so.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
If you might be in traffic, I could figure I.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Could get him out of my apartment complex and turn white,
but I could never get back until Sunday.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
We're and we're we you know. I know my brother
in law doesn't listen to this podcast, but he's a
huge Clemson fan. And so I told my wife, I
can't believe we're spending.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Money on this.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
But she went and got a nineteen eighty one championship poster.
I had it framed and that will be his Christmas
gift this year. I'm like, we're spending money on Clemson crap.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
She'd to make me feel better, She's like, well, it
doesn't go directly to Clemson. It goes to the store
that I bought it from, which is a used poster.
I mean, Clemson got their money on that back in
the eighties, right, So I'm not subsidizing the orange and purple.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
All right. So we got that coming down, and then
tomorrow morning on the Morning Russ six thirty, we're going
to give you what you taught about, opportunity to win
yourself Kelsey Bellerini tickets for the Charleston Show.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah. And this is a word that is actually not
even an English word, but we've heard a lot of
people using it the last when was the election, like
two weeks ago, now, a little over two weeks ago,
Shodden Frouday. Jonathan's giving me the look.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
You're German totally. You should know this lost it.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
That is the German word that means getting pleasure from
someone else's pain. Oh, Shoden Friday. And that's if you
know I mentioned today I do. I'm not doing TikTok
videos trying to do them every day. And I use
that as my explanation today because we're on that thing.
(03:09):
I tried to do political comedy on the TikTok and
so we're talking about how you might have seen the news.
MSNBC is in a tail spin right now. They're going
to sell it or spin it off. And CNN is
firing like three quarters of the staff over the next
few weeks. And it's a bad time to be in
liberal media right now. But the only good news right
(03:32):
now for liberal media is the View. The View has
got its highest ratings since Barbara Walter's retirement. So twenty
fourteen was the peak of the View and this week,
in the last few weeks, they've added over a million viewers.
Now wow, So they're at three point three million viewers
on average per show, which is huge numbers, and congratulations,
(03:56):
But I believe that is the schadenfrouday, meaning people just
want to watch the ladies of the View cry. So
it helped the ratings. And if you have if you
didn't see the video yesterday, oh that was brutal. That
is must see TV ABC people they're just now, they're
just coming up with ways to make them cry. They
(04:17):
made Sonny Hosten apologize to Matt Gates and she does,
Oh my gosh, she's in agony. She's doing it.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
She has to read the legal note. You have a
legal note, yeah, and you have to.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Read it as all the lawyers I heard talking about it.
She was not in any legal jeopardy, nor was ABC
at any point over anything that she has said. They
just wanted to hurt her because it's fun for the
audience to watch her being pained. It was fun for
me bow down and lick the boots of the Republican Party.
So that's apparently what's going on at ABC to try
(04:51):
to get ratings. We're just going to torture the hosts.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And you're thinking, well, why would they keep coming back
because it's catered. Oh yeah, a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Shaden Friday, So we'll be talking about that tomorrow for
your Kelsey Ballerini concert tickets that show again April ninth,
also on the docket as it were for tomorrow. Did
we lose the ability for gen Z to creatively dress themselves?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Apparently that has been something that they decided they're just
not going to go through the effort anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
It's a bizarre thing because, as it's pointed out in
the story by several people who are millennials and older,
so gen Z was the first. The oldest gen Zers
were born in ninety seven, so what does that put
you in, like twenty seven years old.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Now, something like that.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
And so college age girls till mid to late twenties,
that's the gen zers, and millennials would be in their
thirties for the most part, late late twenties into their thirties,
and I guess maybe even early forties. And the millennials
are pointing out what all other women have said for years,
(06:09):
which is it would be a horror show to arrive
at an event and somebody is wearing the same outfit
as me, anybody, never mind multiple people. And there's this
photo that went viral of all these I'm guessing they're
college age women. They all look like they're in their
early twenties. They're standing on a street corner in Alabama,
(06:31):
so I'm guessing these are either Auburn or Alabama students.
And all the girls are wearing pretty much identical the
same thing, blue jeans with a blacktop. Now, some of
the blacktops are tank tops, some of them are long sleeves,
some of them are three quarter sleeves. They're all blue jeans.
Some of them are wearing white sneakers, some of them
are wearing black boots.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
But it's blue jeans, black top. And then they go
and they point out that this is the first generation
that has been totally dominated in their growth by social media,
particularly influencers, and influencers are influenced by influencers. So as
an influencer sees another influencer getting more clicks, they tend
(07:15):
to try to move in that direction. And for whatever reasons,
about five years ago, somebody wearing Now they're trying to
trace it back. They think it might be Justin Bieber's wife.
Justin Bieber's wife, Haley gets a ton of clicks and
she's a big fan of blue jeans black tops. But then,
you know, you can look at even names that we
(07:37):
wouldn't know. I don't know who Nadia Bartel is. Apparently
she's got like fifteen million followers. She's famous for being attractive. Yeah,
she's famous for being attractive, I guess. And she wears
a ton of blue jeans and black tops. Now, other
influencers see those clicks and they start wearing blue jeans
(07:58):
and black tops. And then the girls that are, you know,
at that time, growing up in middle school and into
high school, they're like, that's the way I should dress.
So then they wear the blue jem blacktops, and now
they're all wearing the exact same thing for the most part,
and nobody wants to vary from it. But I'm gonna
go ahead and rather than macket, I'm going to salute it,
because they're really just doing the Steve Jobs. Look, Steve
(08:20):
Jobs brilliant created Apple said he wears blue jeans and
a black top every day because it saves his mind
the energy of trying to come up with something creative
to wear. I don't have to match anything, right, I've
already got it figured out.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
One less decision. Take it off the table, I think.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I think was it Einstein one of those other original
smart dudes, Edison one of them. They came up with
that idea as well. Take that off the Take that
off the table. I'm gonna eat the same thing for
breakfast every morning. I'm gonna sandwich at lunch. I'm wearing
blue jeans and a black top. I can devote my
(08:58):
mental energy towards more important things than trying to figure
out shit does this black shoes go with this brown pant?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I have threatened to do that because I'll come home
and Sally, but go, what are you wearing? Well, the
clothes I have on, who told you to wear that?
There was nobody up at four o'clock. The caped me out,
So I thought that meanute was good, or I was
thinking that I really had just gone I should just go.
(09:30):
All black.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Works it work. I mean it's slimming, right, she's always
complaining about your weight. That's a slimming look. It's always
in fashion. It's it's hard to go wrong.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
And all black, all black.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I am a navy blue guy myself, probably eighty percent
of my clothes or in that navy blue or possibly
olive green. For whatever reason, I just know that that
when I wear those types of colors, I get the
most compliments. So I just tend to wear those types
of car I wear other things. I haven't made it
a uniform.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I might be more comfortable going Shane Beemer.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Now what does that mean?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Just a different Gamecock shirt with a pair of khaki.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Khakis in Columbia, South Carolina are always the thing. Always,
that is the rub, that is the move. Here's a
move that's happening in Columbia, South Carolina. Last night, the
Columbia City Council had a first reading, and I think
it passed unanimously. Now the mayor was not at the reading,
so we can't blame Rickenman.

it to shut off the food noise.

This was life altering.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
But all the other city council members apparently voted to
pass this. They want to double the parking rates in Colombia,
double it per hour when you're at the meter. They're
also going to increase It doesn't say in the story
what the fees are for a parking garage. Those will
(11:56):
all go up. However, the first hour at the garage
will be free, but then it's a they're like two
hours in the future would be more. Hour be more
than if you went for two hours now. And that's
with the first hour free. So I don't know what
that means, but it's going to be a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
The fine tricky with the first hour.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
The fines are through the roof. So they tripled the
parking ticket, more than tripled it. And if you're in
a fire lane, they're increasing that charge by four hundred
and eighty dollars, So don't park in a fire lane.
And I guess we're trying.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
We're maybe parking a fire lane. Who would park it
a fire lane?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
A lot of people parking, like if you're in front
of like a target or something like that, and you
just park there for a second to run in and
grab like the television.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
A fire lanes right there.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
They're going to come and whack you hard. And finally,
I don't know if this is a move specifically targeted
at the elderly, but it sure feels that way. They're
going to remove eventually any parking meter that can accept
cash or coins. They want it all on the.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Credit I don't have the app. I do have a card,
but I haven't charged it up. I guess the app
is going to be the way you're going to need
to go to make this as easy as possible in
the future. I need to get the app.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Well, I mean for me and you. If it takes
credit cards, that's easy, that's true. I know how to
use a credit card. I know older people don't like
to use credit cards. They feel I don't know what
they feel. It's hard for me to put myself in
their shoes, but they.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I would rather for something like parking with the City
of Columbia, any governmental agency. I would rather use a card,
and I know I would if I'm going to use
a credit card, which one I'm using? I got. I
got a card with a five hundred dollars limit on
it just for instances like this, because I know it's
damn likely it's going to be hacked. So I always
get a car that has a limit on it. That way,
(13:55):
nobody can get more than five hundred bucks depending on
how much money I've already spent for the month on that.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, I mean like it was a kind of I mean,
when was Nikki Haley the governor and the whole hack
thing happened. Was that like twenty twelve. I guess it's
been like over a decade. All of our stuff, if
you have been living in South Carolina, your birth date,
your social Security number, any kind of information, your maiden name,
(14:23):
all of that is in some sort of Russian hackers
hands right now, and they apparently they sell it for
about a dollar a person, so they've got everything there
is to know about you. It's all over the world,
and you should be monitoring yourselves.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Oh, I have the life as possible.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, you and I do. But I'm saying for those
other people who are like, well, I'm just going to
monitor my one credit report, you're screwed because by the
time it gets to your credit report, they've already they've
already drained your bank account.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, if you get hacked by twelve o'clock today, they've
already done all their Christmas shopping by two.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
So you're the one that got me recently was my
health savings account. I don't know if it was somebody
who worked at a doctor's office or at a pharmacy
or wherever, but they copied down that information. And because
that's not really monitored by my credit agencies, because it's
not using credit, it's just taking cash out of that account,
(15:23):
they drained it dry.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Lifelo doesn't.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
So they got like about eight thousand dollars from me
and it took about a year to get that money back. Wow,
So it wasn't easy. But they found something that they
could buy on like Amazon or something.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah, there's there's a lot of things on Amazon that
HSA approved.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
And it was like five hundred dollars per item, and
they just kept buy it, kept buying, buy it, buy it,
buy it, buy it by and they just kept doing
that until the money ran out and then they're like, okay,
we're done. And they did it all in like an hour,
and so in an hour or they took like eight
thousand dollars from me, and Amazon felt no remorse, but
(16:06):
I have no remorse.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
They don't care.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
But what do you think about this idea of significantly
raising the parking fees around here? They say that they
want to raise they want to increase the fees on
you by seventeen million dollars, so it's gonna be a
lot more pricey to go downtown.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
They would also point out that you're gonna get nicer things,
but that's seventeen million dollars. You're gonna have a lot
more security cameras. You should feel a lot safer. They're
going to increase security. They're going to be able to
do some art stuff downtown. I guess they're I don't
know what else they're doing.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
But uber people ought to love this. It's cheaper to
uber in and uber out than it is to use
the parking meter.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Could be it could be. Yeah, that's an interesting uh,
because it gets you with the first hour free that's
in the garage.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, you go, you know, you're going to be there
if you think I'm going to be in and out
and out, or I can just park at the garage.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
For free if you can make it in an sixty
one minutes, be a little quicker there.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
It just missed. It gotta be a little past.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
You've got to be out of the garage within.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
The that's right. Yeah. I kind of like the new things.
I've used them before. The one downtown, I forgot what
what's true? I guess it's off the sumpter, you know,
I like it. It's okay. I understand. Of the garage, certainly,
it would be better because guarantee, if you're trying to
put meters up there, people, that's going to bam those
into the wall, you know. So I get it. It's okay.
(17:41):
But the increase prices, yeah, they're going.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
To be more than triple. Yeah, I think double the rates.
By the way, just thank god you don't live in
New York City.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Now.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I know they're trying to rethink this a little bit
and maybe tinker with it a little bit more, but
they've got something what do they call it again, It's
like priority use or something where certain streets in Manhattan
if you want to go into those neighborhoods after like
seven in the morning and before six o'clock at night.
(18:12):
There's a toll to get into the streets. So it's
good and it's not a cheap toll. It's like thirty dollars.
So if you want to drive below like fifty eighth Street,
and if you want to be above, soho, that's where
they're going to whack you. And they're going to whack
you hard. And you know, according to the mayor and
(18:33):
the governor and all those people, the goal is to
get to stop cars from coming here. We don't want
cars cars, So they want everybody on a subway, they
want everybody to use the taxis that are already in
that district, or take a bus, whatever. But they say
that they're taking that from other cities from around the
(18:54):
world that are having great success with it. And if
it starts working in New York, I imagine it'll start
being spread to bigger, you know, bigger cities in the
US the first few years, then it'll make its way
into smaller cities like Nashville, and then probably in ten
to fifteen years, it'll hit the small small cities like Columbia,
South Carolina probably, so you might be getting charged if
(19:17):
you want to go on Gervais Street or Ug Street
or something like that in the future.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Ooh, that would be miserable. Okay, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
You don't want to contemplate that right now. Well, the
final reading on this bill, York, the final reading on
this bill is December third, so that's what like two
weeks from now, three weeks whatever it is. It's that
first what is it Tuesday or Wednesday of the month,
so you can go. They encourage you to go go
(19:48):
to the city council meeting and let your voice be
heard that you are upset about this, or if you
want to reach out to your city council members before
then send them an email, send them, just call their
off offices. You're not going to talk to them, but
you'll talk to somebody and perhaps you could change it,
or maybe you like it. And if you like the
(20:08):
idea of getting nicer new things in downtown Columbia and
just spending more money on these things, and that's great,
let it ride. It'll begin January first, so we're just
over a month away from all that new stuff hitting you.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Mmmmmmmm. That's not a good sign. You don't like it.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Now, I remember, didn't Greenville. Didn't Greenville blossom because of
they took away parking meters. They were like, we want
people to come downtown and we want them to spend
as much time as they want here. So we're going
to try to increase the amount of parking, and we're
going to make it either really super affordable or we're
(20:48):
just going to do away with it altogether. And that
was how they kind of grew beginning in the early
two thousand.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
You know, I believe that's true.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
So it seems that we're going the other way.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
You mean in the Midlands and here in the City
of Columbia, possibly maybe Richland County. You're thinking that for
some reason, taxes would deter or with fees tax same thing,
so fees would deter. We haven't seen that in the
history of the Midlands. Now we'll getting into the other podcast.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
It's the rich paying their fair share. And fortunately you're rich.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
You got parking metermoney. Hey, what's going on in your neighborhood.
Maybe you ought to put some parking meters in front
of your house in the park.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Here, you know, just the time for Thanksgiving, you're charging
the people great.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I'm going to get in touch with the parking meter
people and buy some of those damn things because I
could sell them. I'll tell you what I'll do. I
will install it, and i will handle the electronic transfer
of the cash, and I'll only keep a small fee.
This is good.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I want to get the testimony. The testimony yesterday for
Visa and MasterCard in front of the Senate yesterday.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
I did not see it. That was brutal.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
The two CEOs admitted that the markup is more than
fifty percent, that the profit margin is over fifty percent,
and they were The senators were like, so you're telling
me that gas stations have a profit margin of one percent,
you have a profit margin on what they charge of
(22:27):
fifty percent. Yes, and you're saying that we cannot allow
any more competition when you have eighty seven percent of
the credit card market.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
That's correct, that's correct.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
We cannot now. Then they were like, what do you
think the debt has done in the last five years?
The American debts increased something like eightyfold in the last
five years.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Credit card debt.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
One point seven trillion dollars. In personal debt, it was
less than five hundred million during the Try administration.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Yes, we're through the roof with.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Debt, and they're like, and you keep increasing your fees.
Right now, the average debt is twenty eight point nine percent.
Is what you're charging on it. Twenty eight point nine percent.
Five years ago you were charging twenty one percent. Five
years previous to that, you were charging twelve percent. So
you've tripled the debt rate in the last ten years
(23:24):
you've made You don't even know what you're earning. I
can tell you what you're earning, but you don't even know.
Your testimony is you don't know how much money you
made last year. It's really shocking.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah, not the raw dollar number.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, No, I don't have that in front of me, Senator.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I could have our accounting office. They could turn that
around for You're probably in six seven days maybe, yeah, exactly.
We'll get back to you on there a lot of
calculations going on to.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
The Forbes magazine.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
You want describe the date that we make the report
or do you want to make it on the anticipated
date that we'll make report, because there's three days difference
there and the amount of money we're making. That's that's
a that's going to be a large billions a day,
So I don't know, I don't know. We don't want
to short can ball park it for you? Senator, Hey,
what's happening in your neighborhood? Thinking about putting us some
(24:09):
parking meters? I'm your man, try and rush to the rescue. Yeah,
the meter may do that, all right? So now also
tomorrow morning, six point thirty, that's your chance to win.
You use the same number used to start talking. We
start talking, maybe we get some public outrage going here.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
We're firing them up at the city council.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
And the city city councils. I'm going to be sitting
there listening to their Morgan Whalen songs. Then they ain't
gonna be listening. They got to hear that wrong.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Do you think he Jeff Bridges literally doesn't know.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Who Morgan Wallen is. I would almost bet it. Wow,
he has no idea who Morgan Walling is. That's insane.
How awkward was that? And the funny part is is
he wasn't even paying attention because the snippet that we
played this morning and probably you'll see on social media,
but right before that, they show on the video screen
all the nominees and they announced their names, so he
(24:56):
literally just heard Morgan Wallen's name like teen suckets before
he announced it, and he still screwed it up. Morgan Whalen,
Is he drunk? Number gotta be aight? Oh three nine
seven eight nine two six seven eight oh three nine
seven eight nine two six seven tomorrow on the Morning Rush.
Thank god it's Friday,
