Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Kelly Nash, Hey j Rush, it is tomorrow show
two day? Okay, tomorrow will be the second of December.
Now do we do we start it now? And do
we count Christmas Eve as a shopping day? I guess
you have to let me. I'll put into Google. Oh
that's a great idea. We'll last Google.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Many shopping days till Christmas?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
And does Christmas Day count?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
According to I could buy something that the convenience stogle today.
December first means there's twenty four days till Christmas, meaning
you can't shop on Christmas. So this includes three weekends,
so you have four fridays for shopping, three full weekends,
(00:49):
twenty four total shopping days, four fridays. That starts December
fifth end.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Well, so anyway, four tomorrow we'll have twenty three days,
which is just over three weeks till Christmas.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Okay, got it. Now we're all on track as we
get ready for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Somebody put it up here, Santa has twenty three more
sleeps till he leaves.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
That's a good way to put it.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Gosh, it just comes upon us so quickly. But maybe
for a Christmas gift you'd like to give somebody that
you love tickets to go see Zach Bryan when he
comes to Charlotte at the Bank of America Stadium. That
show will be Saturday, April eighteenth. The tickets will go
on sale. We have a link to pre register so
you can buy tickets beginning this Wednesday. They'll be on
(01:36):
sale for the general public this Friday. Obviously, you're winning
them before you can buy them. At ninety seven five
w SOS dot com. The Morning Rush Blog has the
word of the day, which is carking. Like car king
one day, if parking. If you had two words car
and king and put them together, you got carking.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Carking. I believe that's it's. It's much like casting aspergeons.
It's it's but it's encouraging.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Oh, it's the opposite. It's when you cause someone to
stress or worry.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
And like they use the phrase in the example they gave,
they were like his carking thoughts kept him awake all night?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Oh gotcha?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Ok Okay, okay, yes, so carking. But you don't even
need to remember that. You just need to remember. Go
to ninety seven five w SOS dot com click the
Morning Rust Blog and you will have access to the
answer that we're looking for tomorrow morning. Jonathan says, it's
the easiest contest in the world. All right, Jonathan, You
know there's a lot of debate is are the prices
(02:47):
going up? Are the prices coming down?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
And obviously everything's a little bit different. Maybe it's a
little less expensive for a car, or maybe it's a
little more expensive for a turkey or whatever the price.
We're not really sure. Everything's different. But if you're wondering
about the twelve Days of Christmas, that's four and a
half percent more expensive in twenty twenty five than it
was last year.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Really, and it's really.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Driven by the damn five gold rings, which are up
thirty two and a half percent this year, and the
pear tree up thirteen and a half percent.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Really.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yes, I don't know what happened to the pear tree.
We have a bad crop, we have a frost, and
it kills some of them early. If you want to
buy a partridge years a tree this year, that's four
hundred and twenty dollars and eighteen cents. When it gets
your two turtle doves seven fifty the three frinds.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Just the partridge is four hundred and twenty bucks.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Well in the pear tree? Okay, okay, partridge in a
pear tree for twenty two turtle doves are seven hundred
and fifty. You want the three French hens, that's only
three forty six. They're just over one hundred dollars each.
For the French hens, four calling birds is five hundred
ninety nine dollars and ninety six cents. Can't we just
make that? Six hundred five gold rings are now one thousand,
(04:02):
six hundred and forty nine dollars. The six geese a
laying or nine thirty, the seven swans a swimming or
thirteen flipping thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Shut the heck up.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Now, I don't know. I guess they're just paying them
on the hourly. The eight maids of milking or just
fifty eight bucks. So I guess that's eight women working
minimum wage or something at seven to fifty an hour.
Eight maids of milk in fifty eight dollars. But the
nine ladies dancing, oh, they get paid for that dancing.
You want to get a professional dance, you want rocket
(04:33):
Apparently it's one thousand dollars, because it's eight thousand, eight
hundred and fifty six dollars for the nine ladies dancing.
Ten lords, a leaping will cost you sixteen thousand, eight
hundred and thirty six dollars. I don't even know where
you go shopping for a lord, particularly the leaping lords.
The eleven pipers piping or thirty seven ninety seven. That's
thirty three thousand, seven hundreds. Okay, I was going to
(04:54):
ask for a the twelve drummers. Drumming will run you
forty one hundred bucks. So now if you wanted to
do it now it says it's fifty two thousand dollars.
Does sound like a lot. But if you bought all
these items repeated over and over again as you would
in the song.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
That's what I'm thinking. Because you got to have the
ladies dancing three times, they got to dance on the
ninth to tenth, the eleventh, oh four times, and the.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Twelveth, all the repetitions come out to you'd have to
purchase three hundred and sixty four gifts. So to buy
all of that would be two hundred and eighteen thousand,
five hundred and forty two dollars and ninety eight cents.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Well, so every day for me to present the Twelve
Days of Christmas to.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Sally so almost a quarter of a million dollar million dollars,
and she'd still say, why'd you skimp?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I'm glad you didn't have that on her list.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Who would even want these things?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I'd like the twelve Days of Christmas.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
When you're writing a song about Christmas gifts? Who thought
to put eight maids of milk in?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Well? Maybe this guy's wife had to milk the cows herself, so.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I needed eight of them to replace her. That's how
good she was.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Fifty eight bucks a day. They must have one cow
to milk each, Yet I don't do it all in
one hour. What a horrible Christmas gift? I got you
somebody to go milk the cows, and they're amazed. If
you're a crunchy, what's that? If you're a crunchy, you'd
really enjoy that fresh, non homogenized, right out of the
teat milk.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Oh, I've enjoyed it. I've been to farms, I've had
it fresh right out the teat. But I don't think
it's worthy of hiring somebody to come on and do
it for us. I milked it myself.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Back, and you go to the drinking and go to churning.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
The US public interest research group Education Fund has now
released their fortieth Troubling toy Land Report. Every time I
read about this, it's probably been about forty years now.
It's been more than forty years when dan Ackroyd was
on Saturday Night Live and one of what I found
to be one of the funniest skits ever the toy
(06:59):
salesman who had like no conscious and if you remember,
if you've seen that bit dan Ackroyd is selling. One
of his toys was bag of Glasses, and it's just like.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Hey, the case.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
They love it. You know, you get all the funny
lights and stuff. It bounces off it, and Jane Curtin
is the person who's like, She's like, but you don't
think that it's dangerous. It's just a thin piece of
plastic with shards of glass that could easily break and
do irreparable damage to a child. You know, hey, look
everything's dangerous. I mean, look at this tie. I'm just
driving down the road, mind of my own business. All
(07:32):
of a sudden, the think gets stuck in the window.
This strangled me and he footplips over his chair. So anyway,
they come out every year with their most dangerous toys
that are available for their children. Now we have the
entire list up on the Morning Rush blog, but if
you're wondering some of them, let's see. I don't know
how you pronounced this ku Mma the teddy bear. You
(07:54):
think that's Cuma Kumma.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I'm this toy.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Goodness, gracious, I'm reading from their report Kuma the teddy Bear.
The toy was found to talk about a range of
sexually explicit topics. So be careful when giving your little learner,
as they call it, the little learner, the Kuma teddy Bear.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Gotcha?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
The La Booboo dolls. Unfortunately, the loop Ba Boo Boo
dolls are so popular that there is a whole entire
universe out there of counterfeit La Boo Boo dolls, because
apparently the Laboo Boo dolls are now selling for like
thousands of dollars each, so Amazon and all these other
places are filled with counterfeit ones. The fake versions of
(08:45):
these trendy plush collectibles are a big problem because they're
made with materials that have not been tested many of
them are flammable and also have parts that fall off
easily and could end up choking your child. I guess,
just in general e bikes, if you're thinking about getting
your kid an e bike, understand that they weigh a
(09:07):
lot more than a regular bicycle when you fall. If
they fall on the child, you expect that. Expect the
child to have a broken leg. Also recognize that the
top speed on these is twenty eight miles per hour. Yes,
they will fly, so they can kill themselves twenty miles
an hour hitting a tree or something like that. Let's
(09:27):
see the kra I don't say it, kra z, I
guess cr hyphen z hyphen art so krasy art, crazy
art Gems, jewelry kit. They're being recalled right now, but
many are still available in the stores and online because
they have dangerous chemicals, and right now there's over five
(09:52):
thousand available on eBay. Also, the Miko g is an
AI chat bot, and apparently the kids love the chat bots.
But these voice activated toys have open ended, sometimes inappropriate conversations.
They can suggest where kids can find matches and knives
and other dangerous things. Great, so if the kid is
(10:14):
looking to get into trouble. The chat GPT botty don't
want that. They'll help you find where mommy and daddy
store weapons and other things. So there's a whole list
of things you probably shouldn't be buying your kids for
Christmas this year. I just but Christmas is just popping
up everywhere. I don't know if you saw that story
(10:35):
out of Portland, Oregon, now America. The War on Christmas
apparently continues.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
It starts earlier every year, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Apparently the forty first annual tree lighting out in the
Pioneer Courthouse in Portland. According to the Well, I guess
I could just watch the videos if I wanted. The
ninety minute ceremony, now one person said the word Christmas.
(11:04):
They took great pains to make sure that the word
Christmas was not said. And as the leader said, we
warned them no reference to Jesus or Christ or Christmas
can be made at the Christmas celebration.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It's the winter celebration. But they insisted on calling it
the Christmas celebration.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
And they lit a tree.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I'm surprised, and insists that'd be called exmus.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
This is the perfect time to bring this up because
there's a lot of genocide going on, and then they
started a chant of free, free Palestine before lighting the
Christmas tree.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
That's not a Christmas tree.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
It's a whatever kind of tree you'd want to call
that in Portland.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Wow, what would you.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Call a green ever green that has lights and shiny
things on it? A genocide tree? Is that what we're
calling it?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Assuming this what they would have to call it, have
the holly jolly genocide And in case you didn't know.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
We certainly live in some crazy times.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Don a bit genocide tree?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yes, yes, that's these are these are some of the
events happening here in the United States of America. And finally,
this is just a guidance question that a Morning Russian
regular has. Is it in bad form? I think I
know where you're going to go, But if the if
the family members, if a family member, if anyone asks,
(12:39):
you know, I really don't know what to get you
for Christmas? I like to get you something. Is it appropriate?
As they wrote here?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Let me just say how they wrote it again? Is it?
Is it rude?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Or am I being helpful by providing family members with
an Amazon wish list? Oh my god, I'm so happy
that you're interested. In what I'd be liking for the
holidays and for your convenience. I've compiled it all here
on Amazon.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
How do you tell them it's got to be in
different price categories? Now, see, we're putting a price on
my love for you. That's an awkward conversation. Look, I
don't know where to get you, but I'd like for
you to give me a list of things. Now, I
wanted to be broken down from like twenty dollars all
the way up to like one hundred. But do they
only give you stuff it's like three hundred dollars? Then
I don't come across with a three hundred dollars gift?
(13:30):
Why not? I gave you the list, ask for the list.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Well, if you're saying that you're only in the fifty
dollars category, this is like a nephew or something of yours.
Could you just send them a fifty dollars Amazon gift card? Yes, exactly,
with like a little note, Hey, I saw you wanted
the new Xbox or whatever. Hopefully this will help you
towards that.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I think that's the answer you're going to get from
the forty rush regulars to more and more and more
people are giving gift cards.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Is it rude to provide them with the Amazon wish list?
Or is it I think it's being helpful.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
That way.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
What if Sally was to say, I know that you
struggle picking out the clothes, and you go and you
ask the cashier or whoever at the favorite store every year,
what is something you think Sally would like?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Box it up and wrap it.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
What if Sally gave you ten outfits from a variety
of stores that she already knows fits. I've already tried
them all on. You pick any one of these. I'm
going to open it up. I'm gonna wear it that day.
I'm going to be thrilled to have this. Would you
then just say no, because I have to go do
the legwork. Just click, just click by. That's like I
(14:39):
just click by.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Let's see. It's different from a cousin, an extended family member,
even like one of my kids. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
So if all four kids sent you a list and
they understand, they look, they've they've been growing up with you.
They know I'm thirty or whatever, and I should expect
a gift in this price range. Here's five gifts that
I would like that are all in that price range.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
This is interesting because I could agree with that.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
And if you and if you pick any one of
these five yes, home run, home run dad, If you
want to go buy something else, there's a home run.
Maybe I have to go return it.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
This cannot be universally applied. That's the pitfall.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Well, he's just saying, is it rude for me to
provide my family with Amazon wish list for the holidays?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
This is good. This is good because there's good and badness. See,
and you just start with a good and bad list.
Maybe he's on the naughty list.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Oh, if you don't think I was very good this year?
And replacement of coal, give me used chewing gum.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
It's good. Okay, I want to, I want to, I
want it spread out coal. I don't even know how
to categorize it. You're not going to get a bag of.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Coal that's too expensive.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
That's great. Oh, that's good, that's good. I like it. Oh, okay,
we need some guidelines on this because I do know.
And I'll tell you what. We just picked that up tomorrow. Hey,
what's going on in your neighborhood? We should be talking
about how you what's happening over there? Do you have
neighbors that are not celebrating Christmas? What do you do
for them?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Are they offended by your Christmas celebrations?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
And because of that do you make them brighter?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
What are you saying, put a little extra merry on
the Merry Christmas extra yelling out Merry Christmas every time.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
You see him, Merry Christmas, neighbor A three nine seven
eight nine two sixty seven. We start chit chatting. That's
number to use, that's althor them used to win. If
you want to win tomorrow exact Brian tickets, we'll do
that at six thirty. Kellies are giving you the word
and the answer, and we're doing that tomorrow morning at
six thirty on the Morney Rush
Hello, Kelly Nash, Hey j Rush, it is tomorrow show

Speaker 2 (02:16):
And like they use the phrase in the example they gave,
they were like his carking thoughts kept him awake all night?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Oh gotcha?

half percent more expensive in twenty twenty five than it
was last year.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Really, and it's really.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Driven by the damn five gold rings, which are up
thirty two and a half percent this year, and the
pear tree up thirteen and a half percent.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Really.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yes, I don't know what happened to the pear tree.
We have a bad crop, we have a frost, and
it kills some of them early. If you want to
buy a partridge years a tree this year, that's four
hundred and twenty dollars and eighteen cents. When it gets
your two turtle doves seven fifty the three frinds.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Just the partridge is four hundred and twenty bucks.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Well in the pear tree? Okay, okay, partridge in a
pear tree for twenty two turtle doves are seven hundred
and fifty. You want the three French hens, that's only
three forty six. They're just over one hundred dollars each.
For the French hens, four calling birds is five hundred
ninety nine dollars and ninety six cents. Can't we just
make that? Six hundred five gold rings are now one thousand,
(04:02):
six hundred and forty nine dollars. The six geese a
laying or nine thirty, the seven swans a swimming or
thirteen flipping thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Shut the heck up.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Now, I don't know. I guess they're just paying them
on the hourly. The eight maids of milking or just
fifty eight bucks. So I guess that's eight women working
minimum wage or something at seven to fifty an hour.
Eight maids of milk in fifty eight dollars. But the
nine ladies dancing, oh, they get paid for that dancing.
You want to get a professional dance, you want rocket
(04:33):
Apparently it's one thousand dollars, because it's eight thousand, eight
hundred and fifty six dollars for the nine ladies dancing.
Ten lords, a leaping will cost you sixteen thousand, eight
hundred and thirty six dollars. I don't even know where
you go shopping for a lord, particularly the leaping lords.
The eleven pipers piping or thirty seven ninety seven. That's
thirty three thousand, seven hundreds. Okay, I was going to
(04:54):
ask for a the twelve drummers. Drumming will run you
forty one hundred bucks. So now if you wanted to
do it now it says it's fifty two thousand dollars.
Does sound like a lot. But if you bought all
these items repeated over and over again as you would
in the song.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
That's what I'm thinking. Because you got to have the
ladies dancing three times, they got to dance on the
ninth to tenth, the eleventh, oh four times, and the.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Twelveth, all the repetitions come out to you'd have to
purchase three hundred and sixty four gifts. So to buy
all of that would be two hundred and eighteen thousand,
five hundred and forty two dollars and ninety eight cents.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Well, so every day for me to present the Twelve
Days of Christmas to.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Sally so almost a quarter of a million dollar million dollars,
and she'd still say, why'd you skimp?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I'm glad you didn't have that on her list.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Who would even want these things?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I'd like the twelve Days of Christmas.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
When you're writing a song about Christmas gifts? Who thought
to put eight maids of milk in?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Well? Maybe this guy's wife had to milk the cows herself, so.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I needed eight of them to replace her. That's how
good she was.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Fifty eight bucks a day. They must have one cow

The US public interest research group Education Fund has now

they come out every year with their most dangerous toys
that are available for their children. Now we have the
entire list up on the Morning Rush blog, but if
you're wondering some of them, let's see. I don't know
how you pronounced this ku Mma the teddy bear. You
(07:54):
think that's Cuma Kumma.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I'm this toy.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Goodness, gracious, I'm reading from their report Kuma the teddy Bear.
The toy was found to talk about a range of
sexually explicit topics. So be careful when giving your little learner,
as they call it, the little learner, the Kuma teddy Bear.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Gotcha?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
The La Booboo dolls. Unfortunately, the loop Ba Boo Boo
dolls are so popular that there is a whole entire
universe out there of counterfeit La Boo Boo dolls, because
apparently the Laboo Boo dolls are now selling for like
thousands of dollars each, so Amazon and all these other
places are filled with counterfeit ones. The fake versions of
(08:45):
these trendy plush collectibles are a big problem because they're
made with materials that have not been tested many of
them are flammable and also have parts that fall off
easily and could end up choking your child. I guess,
just in general e bikes, if you're thinking about getting
your kid an e bike, understand that they weigh a
(09:07):
lot more than a regular bicycle when you fall. If
they fall on the child, you expect that. Expect the
child to have a broken leg. Also recognize that the
top speed on these is twenty eight miles per hour. Yes,
they will fly, so they can kill themselves twenty miles
an hour hitting a tree or something like that. Let's
(09:27):
see the kra I don't say it, kra z, I
guess cr hyphen z hyphen art so krasy art, crazy
art Gems, jewelry kit. They're being recalled right now, but
many are still available in the stores and online because
they have dangerous chemicals, and right now there's over five
(09:52):
thousand available on eBay. Also, the Miko g is an
AI chat bot, and apparently the kids love the chat bots.
But these voice activated toys have open ended, sometimes inappropriate conversations.
They can suggest where kids can find matches and knives
and other dangerous things. Great, so if the kid is
(10:14):
looking to get into trouble. The chat GPT botty don't
want that. They'll help you find where mommy and daddy
store weapons and other things. So there's a whole list
of things you probably shouldn't be buying your kids for
Christmas this year. I just but Christmas is just popping
up everywhere. I don't know if you saw that story
(10:35):
out of Portland, Oregon, now America. The War on Christmas
apparently continues.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
It starts earlier every year, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Apparently the forty first annual tree lighting out in the
Pioneer Courthouse in Portland. According to the Well, I guess
I could just watch the videos if I wanted. The
ninety minute ceremony, now one person said the word Christmas.
(11:04):
They took great pains to make sure that the word
Christmas was not said. And as the leader said, we
warned them no reference to Jesus or Christ or Christmas
can be made at the Christmas celebration.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It's the winter celebration. But they insisted on calling it
the Christmas celebration.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
And they lit a tree.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I'm surprised, and insists that'd be called exmus.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
This is the perfect time to bring this up because
there's a lot of genocide going on, and then they
started a chant of free, free Palestine before lighting the
Christmas tree.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
That's not a Christmas tree.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
It's a whatever kind of tree you'd want to call
that in Portland.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Wow, what would you.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Call a green ever green that has lights and shiny
things on it? A genocide tree? Is that what we're
calling it?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Assuming this what they would have to call it, have
the holly jolly genocide And in case you didn't know.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
We certainly live in some crazy times.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Don a bit genocide tree?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yes, yes, that's these are these are some of the
events happening here in the United States of America. And finally,
this is just a guidance question that a Morning Russian
regular has. Is it in bad form? I think I
know where you're going to go, But if the if
the family members, if a family member, if anyone asks,
(12:39):
you know, I really don't know what to get you
for Christmas? I like to get you something. Is it appropriate?
As they wrote here?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Let me just say how they wrote it again? Is it?
Is it rude?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Or am I being helpful by providing family members with
an Amazon wish list? Oh my god, I'm so happy
that you're interested. In what I'd be liking for the
holidays and for your convenience. I've compiled it all here
on Amazon.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
How do you tell them it's got to be in
different price categories? Now, see, we're putting a price on
my love for you. That's an awkward conversation. Look, I
don't know where to get you, but I'd like for
you to give me a list of things. Now, I
wanted to be broken down from like twenty dollars all
the way up to like one hundred. But do they
only give you stuff it's like three hundred dollars? Then
I don't come across with a three hundred dollars gift?
(13:30):
Why not? I gave you the list, ask for the list.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Well, if you're saying that you're only in the fifty
dollars category, this is like a nephew or something of yours.
Could you just send them a fifty dollars Amazon gift card? Yes, exactly,
with like a little note, Hey, I saw you wanted
the new Xbox or whatever. Hopefully this will help you
towards that.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I think that's the answer you're going to get from
the forty rush regulars to more and more and more
people are giving gift cards.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Is it rude to provide them with the Amazon wish list?
Or is it I think it's being helpful.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
That way.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
What if Sally was to say, I know that you
struggle picking out the clothes, and you go and you
ask the cashier or whoever at the favorite store every year,
what is something you think Sally would like?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Box it up and wrap it.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
What if Sally gave you ten outfits from a variety
of stores that she already knows fits. I've already tried
them all on. You pick any one of these. I'm
going to open it up. I'm gonna wear it that day.
I'm going to be thrilled to have this. Would you
then just say no, because I have to go do
the legwork. Just click, just click by. That's like I
(14:39):
just click by.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Let's see. It's different from a cousin, an extended family member,
even like one of my kids. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
So if all four kids sent you a list and
they understand, they look, they've they've been growing up with you.
They know I'm thirty or whatever, and I should expect
a gift in this price range. Here's five gifts that
I would like that are all in that price range.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
This is interesting because I could agree with that.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
And if you and if you pick any one of
these five yes, home run, home run dad, If you
want to go buy something else, there's a home run.
Maybe I have to go return it.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
This cannot be universally applied. That's the pitfall.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Well, he's just saying, is it rude for me to
provide my family with Amazon wish list for the holidays?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
This is good. This is good because there's good and badness. See,
and you just start with a good and bad list.
Maybe he's on the naughty list.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Oh, if you don't think I was very good this year?
And replacement of coal, give me used chewing gum.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
It's good. Okay, I want to, I want to, I
want it spread out coal. I don't even know how
to categorize it. You're not going to get a bag of.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Coal that's too expensive.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
That's great. Oh, that's good, that's good. I like it. Oh, okay,
we need some guidelines on this because I do know.
And I'll tell you what. We just picked that up tomorrow. Hey,
what's going on in your neighborhood? We should be talking
about how you what's happening over there? Do you have
neighbors that are not celebrating Christmas? What do you do
for them?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Are they offended by your Christmas celebrations?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
And because of that do you make them brighter?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
What are you saying, put a little extra merry on
the Merry Christmas extra yelling out Merry Christmas every time.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
You see him, Merry Christmas, neighbor A three nine seven
eight nine two sixty seven. We start chit chatting. That's
number to use, that's althor them used to win. If
you want to win tomorrow exact Brian tickets, we'll do
that at six thirty. Kellies are giving you the word
and the answer, and we're doing that tomorrow morning at
six thirty on the Morney Rush

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
