Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Kelly Nash. Hi there, it's tomorrow show Today. What
you talk about, we'll get another chance for you to
win some holiday Lights on the River tickets.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The answer is already posted at ninety seventy five to
b CS dot com, and the word is cocock. Let
me say you again. Cocock I had it earlier. Cacough,
I'm bowing it. Cococraphy, cococraphy, coccraphy.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Not legible.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Bad handwriting cock.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
You right, yeah, coca as in crap you like, you're
right like crap.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
C A c o graphy. So yeah, bad handwriting like
I have that, I've got a cock. My handwriting was
so bad in third grade they actually sent me for
like testing to like a I had to get an
what do they call him? Ee g mm hmm test
(01:01):
done on my head?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
On your head?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, they put they put they put the wires on
my brain and they said, there is something wrong with
this mechanism problem here. They thought that they thought I'm
not processing the information correct. I can't interesting write in
my handwriting. It still sucks. That's why I usually print,
because it's I think it's easier to read my print.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Well, we're so all that they actually taught us cursive
when we went to school, and I remember doing those
cursive drills. We had to make the loops. It was
like I was used to doing those kind of drills
because I was used to write. I was not talking
class okay, but this time you had to write in cursive.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
So you know, I practiced a lot, and my handwriting
actually started off very good oh yeah, and then went
to hell in a handbasket. I ended up reverting back
to print, which is what I do to this day,
except for my signature.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah might you can't read my signature? That could be anything.
You get the you get half a K and then
just like a squiggly line. Yeah, I remember that. And
it's interesting. I think because I was I thought I
had pretty good hand eye coordination. I should go back
and see if there's like a file on me somewhere.
(02:12):
Because I was good at like baseball. I could hit
the baseball, and that's why I played, you know, farm league.
So what is that, like eight years old or whatever,
I was playing farm league baseball. I played golf with
my grandfather, So you know, the ability to see a ball,
hit a ball with a club or a bat or something.
(02:35):
I was able to do that, but apparently there was
What they concluded was there was some sort of hand
eye situation that was more detailed oriented that I didn't
have that ability. So my stepdad made a board and
it had like if I remember right, just like nails
(02:58):
through it, and it was probably like one hundred nails
and like maybe five rows. And I would take like
washers and I would just have to put the washer
on the nail, okay, and just and do that twice
a day, all right, And they said that would fix me.
So but it would take me, I don't know, maybe
(03:19):
twenty minutes, thirty minutes every day after school of just
putting the washers on top of the nails. I don't know.
I don't know what they thought was wronging me. I
don't know if that helped me, but my writing still suck.
That was just a gigantic wage.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
You're right, with a nailboard.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I could nail the nailboard.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Got it.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Almost do that one in my sleep. So interesting say
it for me, Jonathan? Can you say it?
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Cut? I've never seen the.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Work Gofford, c Aco, Graffi or Graffy, however you want
to say that graffi tomato tomato got it?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
No, I just topped two syllables together and figured that
that's what it had to mean.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
You were you are a smart man when it comes
to words.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
No, not really, that was an easy one.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I think you're smart. Other things that we'll be talking
about tomorrow, possibly on the morning rush. My sister and
I had a debate, not my sister, my sister in
law and I had a debate over the holiday weekend
because I buy an energy drink and I wish I
had it here because I can't even remember the name
of it. I just discovered it like maybe two months ago,
(04:24):
and I really enjoy it. It's it's flavorful. I gave
her one when she came to the Gamecock football game
with me maybe a month ago, and she lost her mind.
Loves it, she said, she told me over the holiday
week I'm obsessed with these things now, right, And so
(04:45):
she buys them. What it is, I can go find
it in the in my office here in a second.
But I was asking her where she buys it, and
I think she said she buys them at publics. And
I said, you know, do you have a Sam's Club membership?
Because I buy of mine at Sam's. I know it's
a little bit of a discount obviously buying it at Sam's.
And she says, oh, which flavors do they have? And
(05:08):
I said, well, they got the multi pack, so it's
got the like cherry flavored, grape flavored, and the peach flavored.
And she goes, oh, I hate the peach flavored. I said,
I'm not a fan of the peach flavor either, and
she says, but you buy buy it anyway. I said, yeah,
because it's a discount, and so I just suffer through
the like cause it's like four of each flavor. So
(05:31):
I and I put them in my refrigerator so I
know I drink them in order. So I'll drink a
red one, a purple one, then the peach one, and
I just know today's the peach day. Through I gotta
suffer through the peach, right, you get the discount, And
she said, why.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Would you do.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I would never buy a multi pack of anything if
it had a flavor in there.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I don't like I buy a multipack of one of
the things that I like to drink that are energy drinks,
and that's got what the fruit punch. I don't like,
but I'll buy the multipack because you save the money,
so you you suffer through it.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
That's what I do a.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Lot of times. I will add my vitamin C to it, okay,
to give it a little more of a palatable taste.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Don't okay, I hadn't think of my emergency.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I'll dump that in the fruit punch interesting and it
kind of blends, kind of.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
But her attitude was, why would you pay for something,
even at a discount, if you don't thoroughly enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Because I don't drink it because I want the taste.
I drink it because I like to feel. He's gulping,
I gulp it.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
What if they did the same thing, but back in
the day when you used to drink a lot of
save beer. But it was like three flavors of beer.
You love two of them and you're drinking them for
how to make you feel, but one of them is
kind of nasty. I remember the first.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Time, this tough brother, you got to put up with
the nastness.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
When I was way underage, like sixteen, my friend Pete
and I were already drinking beers pretty heavily. I started
drinking beers when I was fourteen. I played in a
men's soccer team, a traveling men's soccer team in Vermont
for in the summer that year. So it's me and
(07:12):
a bunch of twenty five year olds and I'm fourteen,
And of course they got beer at every game, and
you know, they're like, we don't even have sody. You
want a beer. I was like, sure, I'll try it.
I didn't. I didn't. I mean I remember trying it
when I was a little kid. Yeah, and I hated it,
And then this time I didn't. I wouldn't say I
loved it, but I was like, I'm a man. So
(07:32):
I'm drinking probably a Michelobe was probably in the glass
bottle absolutely well. By like maybe game three or four,
I'm knocking down two.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I like these things. These are tasty, These are good.
And so you know, as I'm getting older, I mean older,
that's funny, I'm starting to shave or whatever. Fourteen fifteen,
I am. Now I am becoming a connoisseur of the
discount beers. Right Bush, Bud Milwake, Old Milwaukee Paps, Blue Ribbon.
(08:05):
I'm drinking all this. Yeah, I'm drinking all that stuff.
I never had any expensive beers, and I never went
outside of what I guess you would call it like
a traditional ale or something like that. Well, when I
was sixteen, I went on a summer vacation with Pete
and his family and that included his grandfather, and his
grandfather used to like to drink Oh what's the Irish stout?
(08:31):
You know the one I'm talking about? But it's it's
like it's a it's almost black. Okay, but we just
knew it was beer, so we snuck in and we
drank one. We split it between the two of us.
Hated it, absolutely hated it. But his grandfather came home
(08:51):
from the beach or whatever, Guinness that's what it is.
He's like and it was like the Guinness dark, not
regular guinness, and he's like an He talked all slow.
He's like, uh, Pete, where's my guineas? One of my
guineas is missing? Yeah, and he goes, uh yeah, and
he goes and he looks at us and he goes
(09:12):
you to drink it, and that we're no, no what us.
Maybe Pete's dad had it, we don't know. And he goes, okay,
you want to be men. Now we're going to drink
some Guinness. Oh wow, and so we each Yeah, we
each had to drink like a full It was like
a sixteen ounce Guinness. I was sick as a dog.
(09:33):
This is horrible, but I want to At one point
I wanted to yell out, this is child abuse, but
I couldn't because I was trying to be a man. Right,
you can't abuse a man. It's not a man. Yeah. Oh,
you wanted to drink it earlier.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
He wanted to be a man.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yes, I did, and so I was, and I was
miserable about it. I would not drink a multi pack
that had a Guinness dark stout in it. That would
be the line for me. But what are you suffering
through stuff you say that you don't like. Jonathan's got
the fruit punch energy drink. I got the peach flavored
energy drink. It doesn't have to be an energy drink.
Could be like you know what, I do it every
(10:09):
week as a favor to my church. They buy the
multipack of the oatmeals and they provide them for anybody
who is working. If you're working at the church, you
get the free oatmeal. And so everybody wants the brown ones.
And it was another one. I forget the other one
they like, but they don't, and nobody seems to like
(10:30):
the orange one. So the orange one they'll have like
fifty of.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
These peaches and something cream and cream.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I don't know what's it. I just know that there's
like fifty orange ones, like five brown ones and five
maybe green ones or something, and so I always take
the orange ones as a service to my fellow church member.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
So they don't have to sacrifice. Kelly goes to church
to make the sacrifice.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
That's the way I look at it. I'm helping you.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
He's like Jesus.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
But I don't know that I would buy the multipack
because I don't really like the orange one.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
No, see again, well I don't know. I probably would
do that. I remember having it. Yeah, yeah, I would
do that because I remember having the breakfast replacement meals
and you get the multi pack of that in the
head of the chocolate one I wasn't a fan of.
But you know again, I'm not drinking it to enjoy it.
I just want to get some nutrition in my body,
(11:24):
so you suck it down.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
How about like the boxes of Cereal? Do they still
do the little one size and it's like an eight pack.
It is like an eight pack, and there'd be like
some good ones that you liked, and they're like Raisin
Brand or Cocoa Puffs or something like that. But then
they would be like yeah, but there'd be like some
boring frons corn flakes, like corn fla what it wants
that stop trying to pawn your corn flakes off with
(11:47):
the good stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I actually remember taking the corn flakes and shoving the
box at the bottom of the trash cancer my mom
wouldn't I threw it away, see to get I wanted
to get more of the Variety pack because I liked
Variety pack.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
It's got the sugar smacks and the sugar smacks that's
another one, right.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
And it had the sugar pops.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I forgot about those.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
But you had to trash the corn flakes.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Well, maybe we get into that one. We also got
the you know, I finished putting up our Christmas tree
and Christmas decorations over the weekend. Did you get that
done yesterday?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
I got to go put it up today.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
All right. Well, according to the New York Post, they
spoke with and I probably not pronouncing this right in
ball Honegeman Now this is a tarot card reader, and
I believe in Ball is a female. In Ball says,
I can tell all about you by the way you
decorate your tree. The fact that you bring your energy
(12:44):
into your Christmas decorations is a beautiful way to embrace
the spirit of the season, but tells the world all
about who you really are. Yeah, so I've got a
whole list here of the way in Ball breaks down
the people's decoration, like the sentimental family person, the quirky creative,
(13:06):
the tech enthusiast, the nature enthusiast, the maximalist, the minimalist,
so on and so forth. They're all there if you
want to take a look and see if you find
yourself in there. I know, like the way I decorate
trees has nothing to do anymore with my own personality.
As the husband of a wife who is very opinionated
(13:27):
on things like this, I don't have a strong enough
opinion to really care about Christmas tree decorations or most decorations.
Like even in the house, I really don't put up
much of a struggle. Angela pretty much gets her way
on ninety eight percent of the house the decorations. What
paintings are to hang and all that sort of stuff.
(13:48):
I don't care. It would be interesting if we could
go back and see how I decorated it when I
was single, if it told something about me. But right now,
I guess this would be talking about my wife and
her personality because I'm and I'll be honest with you,
when I'm decorating and she's standing next to me. I
almost wanted to ask, every time I put something up,
(14:09):
is this the right spot for it? I don't get
I don't even get to hang it. Oh you don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I put up the tree and I put on the lights.
Then after that Sally does the rest. But she always goes.
She was very traditional, very family. You already we got
the first baby's first Christmas ornament, yes whoever that was,
Janeye John David to lead. Now you got little sterry,
you got all that, you know, so it's all family stuff. Hmm.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I wonder what that says about I off to look
on this list.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
She will buy different little ornaments, seeming legal like every
other year, just to change it up on the overall look.
But it's got the family ornaments on the air from
way back.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
See, I would probably go more of the old school.
Like what when I was a kid, we had a
lot of tinsel on the tree. I don't know if
tinsel's a thing.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
You don't buy that anymore.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Really, I like the tinsel, and I liked the multi
colored lights like we had, like the red, green, blue,
and white were in there. There were all kinds of
different colors, and I liked those, probably just because I
was a child, right, that's probably like so you know,
if we had grown up with something else, I probably
would have liked that. But that would probably have been
(15:18):
the way I was decorating my tree twenty years ago.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
It would be on a pencil, which I don't believe
you can buy.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
The cat would vomit it every year.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Too. There were areas like over the fireplace, on the mantel,
they had this white stuff. You'd use it. Oh yes,
but you know what that was?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Fiberglass? Sure breathe it in kids, right, you had.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Raw fiberglass, little strands of fiberglass all over the place.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
You want some mercury to play with while you're at it,
the mercury. You're snorting fiberglass and gargling with mercury. You
can't buy that anymore. If you survived the seventies. You
were a tough person. If you survived, I can't believe
we survived.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
We should all be dead by now. All right, how
did you survive your What did you survive at Christmas time?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
That's a great question. And under the tree they put jarts. Yeah,
that's right. If you survive all this, you're gonna go
outside and throw knives at each other.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Basically, Oh my god, that's good. Okay, remember you got
the question coming out of six point thirty. What you're
talking about? Chance to win? The very safe viewing of
the lights from inside your car as you drive through
Saluta Shells.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
That is beautiful. There's always an I haven't been this
year yet? Is it up yet? This year? Can we go?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Uh? It's already up. It opened up last Wednesday night
before thanks.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I mean they do. I can't wait to see what
they've added, because every year it seems to get bigger
and better.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Well, I no, no, that we put up a tree tomorrow night.
It's gonna be a forest acres tree lighting. I think
Wednesday night is when I'm going to Saluta Shells. I'm
not sure yet. You gotta find out. We're taking a
little Sarah and sitting in the back. I'll be sitting
in the back, sleep a little Sarah. I'm gonna be
We're gonna be having like an elf snack. We're gonna
get some sugar coated cereal, poor mayonnaise, I mean molasses
(16:59):
all over it.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
They serve stuff there, right, I did. Yeah, I've been there.
I remember for some reason last year or the year before,
we took my kniece and I forget what we had bought,
but it was like something that you had to hold,
and the top of it fell off.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Angela was holding it and she calls her aunt Jigi,
and the top fell off, and she just yells out.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
GINGI, there's all kind of good stuff to buy when
you're out there they eat snack on Yeah, all right,
so we're going to do that. And what's going on
in your neighborhood. What's happening over there? What's your I
bumped out. I had two first time Dad Christmas stories
pop up, one on my phone and one in person yesterday.
(17:42):
So this is guys getting used to putting up the tree,
maybe for the first time as a family as supposed
when they put it up when they were you know,
at a college or high whatever. Your first job, you
decorated it only with Guinness cans.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Or oh yeah, you can't do that anymore.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
No, No, remember that you got to somebody's house and
the whole thing is decorated in cans, and everybody's drinking beer,
and you grab a hook and you hang it on
the tree.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
The Foster motor oil cans of beer. Those things were.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Right, huge, a huge night in a group therapy. Everybody's
drinking Foster saved the cans. We would decorate the tree
when we get home. What's happening with your decorations? I
meant one of the fathers I talked to you yesterday,
he just found out he's allergic apparently to uh. I
think it was a fir some kind of just some
kind of Christmas tree.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
It was like the maple syrup or whatever that comes
out of it.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Right, yeah, whenever the sap comes out. Apparently he's allergic
to the sap. He started breaking out all over his
body anyway, and then he put it up in the
He put it up in the stand. Apparently the stand
has some kind of crack in it or something, so
water's all over it. I said, yeah, welcome to it.
It's misery for the next twenty two years. This is
what you gotta deal with. This is your first year
as a dad. Oh really decorating for Christmas?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
And why in twenty two years you don't think that
the twenty three year old twenty four year olds you're
gonna come home and said you expect the Chris I
expect Christmas.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I was trying to give him a light at the
end of the tunnel.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
There is no light.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
There is no light even decorating for the rest of
your life. And then the other day I was outraged.
It's like, when did it become a thing for Christmas
trees to cost like one hundred and fifty bucks. I'm like, yeah,
about five years ago. All right, So I don't know
what kind of misery you got? Is Christmas time and
everybody's miserable.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I go fake with the Christmas tree.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I'm still trying to give it now.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I'll be honest with you. The fake tree that I
bought about three or four years ago, very expensive. I
can't remember what I paid for it, but I remember
being shocked that I was agreeing that I was signing
a piece of paper that said I was going to
pay this, but it's more than paid for itself since then,
because as you say that Christmas trees are one hundred
and fifty to two hundred bucks now sure, so you know,
(19:46):
over three years, I think it was probably like four
fifty I paid for that fake Christmas tree. But I
bought it at what's the name of the place over here.
It doesn't matter the high end outdoor store. No, No,
the place that has like pool lounges and stuff like that.
You know, it's over in like Casey anyway. But at
(20:09):
the name of the tree, it's the one that if
you're watching the Hallmark movie channel, they're sponsoring like half
the movies, right, and it comes pre lit, so and
it's amazing to me. Angelo is I guess it had
not seen me set up the tree before because it's
like three pieces, and she's like, well, you gotta plug
(20:31):
each piece into each piece. I said, no, you don't,
and she said, well, how is it going to work?
Think about it, dumb dumb. That's she didn't say that part,
but that's what she was implying. You're a dum dumb.
Of course you gotta plug each piece into each piece.
I said, I think there's something about the metal when
it goes into the hole. I think that's the connection
because you don't you don't have to plug it in,
(20:52):
but once into the wall and she was like, okay,
let's see that. And when I plugged it in, poof,
it all lit up beautifully, and she's like, that's amazing.
I might that's what you get for five hundred dollars
we paid for this tree. But it really it fills
out beautifully, which has been a problem in the past.
I give some of our previous Christmas trees, there are
(21:13):
big spotty holes in it, especially when you get the
fake one or the real ones. The real ones are
obviously they're not gonna be perfect because they're real. But
then the fake ones I think they thin out or something.
Maybe in storage. I think some of the things fall off,
oh gotcha or whatever, and maybe the branches aren't as pliable.
This one, you can move the branches around and get
(21:34):
the perfect coverage. I think it's like Balsam Hill or
something like. That's the name of the brand.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I did see one of the lights we went to yesterday.
They had like a ten foot tree. I mean it
was huge. It was probably six feet in diameter.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
At the Bay Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Five hundred and twenty five dollars for that one.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Yeah. Yeah, that's a Christmas to remember that.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
There's a Christmas tree.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Remember there's a lot of pictures with that one.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Kids, Hey, what are you? What are you talking about?
You start talking tomorrow saying w use when you start winning.
It's at three nine seven eight nine two six seven
eight oh three ninety seven eight w co O s
Hello, Kelly Nash. Hi there, it's tomorrow show Today. What
you talk about, we'll get another chance for you to
win some holiday Lights on the River tickets.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The answer is already posted at ninety seventy five to
b CS dot com, and the word is cocock. Let
me say you again. Cocock I had it earlier. Cacough,
I'm bowing it. Cococraphy, cococraphy, coccraphy.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Not legible.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Bad handwriting cock.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
You right, yeah, coca as in crap you like, you're
right like crap.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
C A c o graphy. So yeah, bad handwriting like
I have that, I've got a cock. My handwriting was
so bad in third grade they actually sent me for
like testing to like a I had to get an
what do they call him? Ee g mm hmm test
(01:01):
done on my head?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
On your head?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, they put they put they put the wires on
my brain and they said, there is something wrong with
this mechanism problem here. They thought that they thought I'm
not processing the information correct. I can't interesting write in
my handwriting. It still sucks. That's why I usually print,
because it's I think it's easier to read my print.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Well, we're so all that they actually taught us cursive
when we went to school, and I remember doing those
cursive drills. We had to make the loops. It was
like I was used to doing those kind of drills
because I was used to write. I was not talking
class okay, but this time you had to write in cursive.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
So you know, I practiced a lot, and my handwriting
actually started off very good oh yeah, and then went
to hell in a handbasket. I ended up reverting back
to print, which is what I do to this day,
except for my signature.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah might you can't read my signature? That could be anything.
You get the you get half a K and then
just like a squiggly line. Yeah, I remember that. And
it's interesting. I think because I was I thought I
had pretty good hand eye coordination. I should go back
and see if there's like a file on me somewhere.
(02:12):
Because I was good at like baseball. I could hit
the baseball, and that's why I played, you know, farm league.
So what is that, like eight years old or whatever,
I was playing farm league baseball. I played golf with
my grandfather, So you know, the ability to see a ball,
hit a ball with a club or a bat or something.
(02:35):
I was able to do that, but apparently there was
What they concluded was there was some sort of hand
eye situation that was more detailed oriented that I didn't
have that ability. So my stepdad made a board and
it had like if I remember right, just like nails
(02:58):
through it, and it was probably like one hundred nails
and like maybe five rows. And I would take like
washers and I would just have to put the washer
on the nail, okay, and just and do that twice
a day, all right, And they said that would fix me.
So but it would take me, I don't know, maybe
(03:19):
twenty minutes, thirty minutes every day after school of just
putting the washers on top of the nails. I don't know.
I don't know what they thought was wronging me. I
don't know if that helped me, but my writing still suck.
That was just a gigantic wage.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
You're right, with a nailboard.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I could nail the nailboard.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Got it.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Almost do that one in my sleep. So interesting say
it for me, Jonathan? Can you say it?
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Cut? I've never seen the.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Work Gofford, c Aco, Graffi or Graffy, however you want
to say that graffi tomato tomato got it?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
No, I just topped two syllables together and figured that
that's what it had to mean.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
You were you are a smart man when it comes
to words.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
No, not really, that was an easy one.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I think you're smart. Other things that we'll be talking
about tomorrow, possibly on the morning rush. My sister and
I had a debate, not my sister, my sister in
law and I had a debate over the holiday weekend
because I buy an energy drink and I wish I
had it here because I can't even remember the name
of it. I just discovered it like maybe two months ago,
(04:24):
and I really enjoy it. It's it's flavorful. I gave
her one when she came to the Gamecock football game
with me maybe a month ago, and she lost her mind.
Loves it, she said, she told me over the holiday
week I'm obsessed with these things now, right, And so
(04:45):
she buys them. What it is, I can go find
it in the in my office here in a second.
But I was asking her where she buys it, and
I think she said she buys them at publics. And
I said, you know, do you have a Sam's Club membership?
Because I buy of mine at Sam's. I know it's
a little bit of a discount obviously buying it at Sam's.
And she says, oh, which flavors do they have? And
(05:08):
I said, well, they got the multi pack, so it's
got the like cherry flavored, grape flavored, and the peach flavored.
And she goes, oh, I hate the peach flavored. I said,
I'm not a fan of the peach flavor either, and
she says, but you buy buy it anyway. I said, yeah,
because it's a discount, and so I just suffer through
the like cause it's like four of each flavor. So
(05:31):
I and I put them in my refrigerator so I
know I drink them in order. So I'll drink a
red one, a purple one, then the peach one, and
I just know today's the peach day. Through I gotta
suffer through the peach, right, you get the discount, And
she said, why.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Would you do.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I would never buy a multi pack of anything if
it had a flavor in there.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I don't like I buy a multipack of one of
the things that I like to drink that are energy drinks,
and that's got what the fruit punch. I don't like,
but I'll buy the multipack because you save the money,
so you you suffer through it.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
That's what I do a.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Lot of times. I will add my vitamin C to it, okay,
to give it a little more of a palatable taste.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Don't okay, I hadn't think of my emergency.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I'll dump that in the fruit punch interesting and it
kind of blends, kind of.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
But her attitude was, why would you pay for something,
even at a discount, if you don't thoroughly enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Because I don't drink it because I want the taste.
I drink it because I like to feel. He's gulping,
I gulp it.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
What if they did the same thing, but back in
the day when you used to drink a lot of
save beer. But it was like three flavors of beer.
You love two of them and you're drinking them for
how to make you feel, but one of them is
kind of nasty. I remember the first.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Time, this tough brother, you got to put up with
the nastness.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
When I was way underage, like sixteen, my friend Pete
and I were already drinking beers pretty heavily. I started
drinking beers when I was fourteen. I played in a
men's soccer team, a traveling men's soccer team in Vermont
for in the summer that year. So it's me and
(07:12):
a bunch of twenty five year olds and I'm fourteen,
And of course they got beer at every game, and
you know, they're like, we don't even have sody. You
want a beer. I was like, sure, I'll try it.
I didn't. I didn't. I mean I remember trying it
when I was a little kid. Yeah, and I hated it,
And then this time I didn't. I wouldn't say I
loved it, but I was like, I'm a man. So
(07:32):
I'm drinking probably a Michelobe was probably in the glass
bottle absolutely well. By like maybe game three or four,
I'm knocking down two.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I like these things. These are tasty, These are good.
And so you know, as I'm getting older, I mean older,
that's funny, I'm starting to shave or whatever. Fourteen fifteen,
I am. Now I am becoming a connoisseur of the
discount beers. Right Bush, Bud Milwake, Old Milwaukee Paps, Blue Ribbon.
(08:05):
I'm drinking all this. Yeah, I'm drinking all that stuff.
I never had any expensive beers, and I never went
outside of what I guess you would call it like
a traditional ale or something like that. Well, when I
was sixteen, I went on a summer vacation with Pete
and his family and that included his grandfather, and his
grandfather used to like to drink Oh what's the Irish stout?
(08:31):
You know the one I'm talking about? But it's it's
like it's a it's almost black. Okay, but we just
knew it was beer, so we snuck in and we
drank one. We split it between the two of us.
Hated it, absolutely hated it. But his grandfather came home
(08:51):
from the beach or whatever, Guinness that's what it is.
He's like and it was like the Guinness dark, not
regular guinness, and he's like an He talked all slow.
He's like, uh, Pete, where's my guineas? One of my
guineas is missing? Yeah, and he goes, uh yeah, and
he goes and he looks at us and he goes
(09:12):
you to drink it, and that we're no, no what us.
Maybe Pete's dad had it, we don't know. And he goes, okay,
you want to be men. Now we're going to drink
some Guinness. Oh wow, and so we each Yeah, we
each had to drink like a full It was like
a sixteen ounce Guinness. I was sick as a dog.
(09:33):
This is horrible, but I want to At one point
I wanted to yell out, this is child abuse, but
I couldn't because I was trying to be a man. Right,
you can't abuse a man. It's not a man. Yeah. Oh,
you wanted to drink it earlier.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
He wanted to be a man.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yes, I did, and so I was, and I was
miserable about it. I would not drink a multi pack
that had a Guinness dark stout in it. That would
be the line for me. But what are you suffering
through stuff you say that you don't like. Jonathan's got
the fruit punch energy drink. I got the peach flavored
energy drink. It doesn't have to be an energy drink.
Could be like you know what, I do it every
(10:09):
week as a favor to my church. They buy the
multipack of the oatmeals and they provide them for anybody
who is working. If you're working at the church, you
get the free oatmeal. And so everybody wants the brown ones.
And it was another one. I forget the other one
they like, but they don't, and nobody seems to like
(10:30):
the orange one. So the orange one they'll have like
fifty of.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
These peaches and something cream and cream.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I don't know what's it. I just know that there's
like fifty orange ones, like five brown ones and five
maybe green ones or something, and so I always take
the orange ones as a service to my fellow church member.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
So they don't have to sacrifice. Kelly goes to church
to make the sacrifice.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
That's the way I look at it. I'm helping you.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
He's like Jesus.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
But I don't know that I would buy the multipack
because I don't really like the orange one.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
No, see again, well I don't know. I probably would
do that. I remember having it. Yeah, yeah, I would
do that because I remember having the breakfast replacement meals
and you get the multi pack of that in the
head of the chocolate one I wasn't a fan of.
But you know again, I'm not drinking it to enjoy it.
I just want to get some nutrition in my body,
(11:24):
so you suck it down.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
How about like the boxes of Cereal? Do they still
do the little one size and it's like an eight pack.
It is like an eight pack, and there'd be like
some good ones that you liked, and they're like Raisin
Brand or Cocoa Puffs or something like that. But then
they would be like yeah, but there'd be like some
boring frons corn flakes, like corn fla what it wants
that stop trying to pawn your corn flakes off with
(11:47):
the good stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I actually remember taking the corn flakes and shoving the
box at the bottom of the trash cancer my mom
wouldn't I threw it away, see to get I wanted
to get more of the Variety pack because I liked
Variety pack.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
It's got the sugar smacks and the sugar smacks that's
another one, right.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
And it had the sugar pops.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I forgot about those.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
But you had to trash the corn flakes.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Well, maybe we get into that one. We also got
the you know, I finished putting up our Christmas tree
and Christmas decorations over the weekend. Did you get that
done yesterday?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
I got to go put it up today.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
All right. Well, according to the New York Post, they
spoke with and I probably not pronouncing this right in
ball Honegeman Now this is a tarot card reader, and
I believe in Ball is a female. In Ball says,
I can tell all about you by the way you
decorate your tree. The fact that you bring your energy
(12:44):
into your Christmas decorations is a beautiful way to embrace
the spirit of the season, but tells the world all
about who you really are. Yeah, so I've got a
whole list here of the way in Ball breaks down
the people's decoration, like the sentimental family person, the quirky creative,
(13:06):
the tech enthusiast, the nature enthusiast, the maximalist, the minimalist,
so on and so forth. They're all there if you
want to take a look and see if you find
yourself in there. I know, like the way I decorate
trees has nothing to do anymore with my own personality.
As the husband of a wife who is very opinionated
(13:27):
on things like this, I don't have a strong enough
opinion to really care about Christmas tree decorations or most decorations.
Like even in the house, I really don't put up
much of a struggle. Angela pretty much gets her way
on ninety eight percent of the house the decorations. What
paintings are to hang and all that sort of stuff.
(13:48):
I don't care. It would be interesting if we could
go back and see how I decorated it when I
was single, if it told something about me. But right now,
I guess this would be talking about my wife and
her personality because I'm and I'll be honest with you,
when I'm decorating and she's standing next to me. I
almost wanted to ask, every time I put something up,
(14:09):
is this the right spot for it? I don't get
I don't even get to hang it. Oh you don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I put up the tree and I put on the lights.
Then after that Sally does the rest. But she always goes.
She was very traditional, very family. You already we got
the first baby's first Christmas ornament, yes whoever that was,
Janeye John David to lead. Now you got little sterry,
you got all that, you know, so it's all family stuff. Hmm.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I wonder what that says about I off to look
on this list.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
She will buy different little ornaments, seeming legal like every
other year, just to change it up on the overall look.
But it's got the family ornaments on the air from
way back.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
See, I would probably go more of the old school.
Like what when I was a kid, we had a
lot of tinsel on the tree. I don't know if
tinsel's a thing.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
You don't buy that anymore.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Really, I like the tinsel, and I liked the multi
colored lights like we had, like the red, green, blue,
and white were in there. There were all kinds of
different colors, and I liked those, probably just because I
was a child, right, that's probably like so you know,
if we had grown up with something else, I probably
would have liked that. But that would probably have been
(15:18):
the way I was decorating my tree twenty years ago.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
It would be on a pencil, which I don't believe
you can buy.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
The cat would vomit it every year.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Too. There were areas like over the fireplace, on the mantel,
they had this white stuff. You'd use it. Oh yes,
but you know what that was?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Fiberglass? Sure breathe it in kids, right, you had.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Raw fiberglass, little strands of fiberglass all over the place.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
You want some mercury to play with while you're at it,
the mercury. You're snorting fiberglass and gargling with mercury. You
can't buy that anymore. If you survived the seventies. You
were a tough person. If you survived, I can't believe
we survived.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
We should all be dead by now. All right, how
did you survive your What did you survive at Christmas time?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
That's a great question. And under the tree they put jarts. Yeah,
that's right. If you survive all this, you're gonna go
outside and throw knives at each other.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Basically, Oh my god, that's good. Okay, remember you got
the question coming out of six point thirty. What you're
talking about? Chance to win? The very safe viewing of
the lights from inside your car as you drive through
Saluta Shells.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
That is beautiful. There's always an I haven't been this
year yet? Is it up yet? This year? Can we go?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Uh? It's already up. It opened up last Wednesday night
before thanks.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I mean they do. I can't wait to see what
they've added, because every year it seems to get bigger
and better.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Well, I no, no, that we put up a tree tomorrow night.
It's gonna be a forest acres tree lighting. I think
Wednesday night is when I'm going to Saluta Shells. I'm
not sure yet. You gotta find out. We're taking a
little Sarah and sitting in the back. I'll be sitting
in the back, sleep a little Sarah. I'm gonna be
We're gonna be having like an elf snack. We're gonna
get some sugar coated cereal, poor mayonnaise, I mean molasses
(16:59):
all over it.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
They serve stuff there, right, I did. Yeah, I've been there.
I remember for some reason last year or the year before,
we took my kniece and I forget what we had bought,
but it was like something that you had to hold,
and the top of it fell off.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Angela was holding it and she calls her aunt Jigi,
and the top fell off, and she just yells out.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
GINGI, there's all kind of good stuff to buy when
you're out there they eat snack on Yeah, all right,
so we're going to do that. And what's going on
in your neighborhood. What's happening over there? What's your I
bumped out. I had two first time Dad Christmas stories
pop up, one on my phone and one in person yesterday.
(17:42):
So this is guys getting used to putting up the tree,
maybe for the first time as a family as supposed
when they put it up when they were you know,
at a college or high whatever. Your first job, you
decorated it only with Guinness cans.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Or oh yeah, you can't do that anymore.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
No, No, remember that you got to somebody's house and
the whole thing is decorated in cans, and everybody's drinking beer,
and you grab a hook and you hang it on
the tree.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
The Foster motor oil cans of beer. Those things were.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Right, huge, a huge night in a group therapy. Everybody's
drinking Foster saved the cans. We would decorate the tree
when we get home. What's happening with your decorations? I
meant one of the fathers I talked to you yesterday,
he just found out he's allergic apparently to uh. I
think it was a fir some kind of just some
kind of Christmas tree.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
It was like the maple syrup or whatever that comes
out of it.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Right, yeah, whenever the sap comes out. Apparently he's allergic
to the sap. He started breaking out all over his
body anyway, and then he put it up in the
He put it up in the stand. Apparently the stand
has some kind of crack in it or something, so
water's all over it. I said, yeah, welcome to it.
It's misery for the next twenty two years. This is
what you gotta deal with. This is your first year
as a dad. Oh really decorating for Christmas?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
And why in twenty two years you don't think that
the twenty three year old twenty four year olds you're
gonna come home and said you expect the Chris I
expect Christmas.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I was trying to give him a light at the
end of the tunnel.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
There is no light.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
There is no light even decorating for the rest of
your life. And then the other day I was outraged.
It's like, when did it become a thing for Christmas
trees to cost like one hundred and fifty bucks. I'm like, yeah,
about five years ago. All right, So I don't know
what kind of misery you got? Is Christmas time and
everybody's miserable.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I go fake with the Christmas tree.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I'm still trying to give it now.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I'll be honest with you. The fake tree that I
bought about three or four years ago, very expensive. I
can't remember what I paid for it, but I remember
being shocked that I was agreeing that I was signing
a piece of paper that said I was going to
pay this, but it's more than paid for itself since then,
because as you say that Christmas trees are one hundred
and fifty to two hundred bucks now sure, so you know,
(19:46):
over three years, I think it was probably like four
fifty I paid for that fake Christmas tree. But I
bought it at what's the name of the place over here.
It doesn't matter the high end outdoor store. No, No,
the place that has like pool lounges and stuff like that.
You know, it's over in like Casey anyway. But at
(20:09):
the name of the tree, it's the one that if
you're watching the Hallmark movie channel, they're sponsoring like half
the movies, right, and it comes pre lit, so and
it's amazing to me. Angelo is I guess it had
not seen me set up the tree before because it's
like three pieces, and she's like, well, you gotta plug
(20:31):
each piece into each piece. I said, no, you don't,
and she said, well, how is it going to work?
Think about it, dumb dumb. That's she didn't say that part,
but that's what she was implying. You're a dum dumb.
Of course you gotta plug each piece into each piece.
I said, I think there's something about the metal when
it goes into the hole. I think that's the connection
because you don't you don't have to plug it in,
(20:52):
but once into the wall and she was like, okay,
let's see that. And when I plugged it in, poof,
it all lit up beautifully, and she's like, that's amazing.
I might that's what you get for five hundred dollars
we paid for this tree. But it really it fills
out beautifully, which has been a problem in the past.
I give some of our previous Christmas trees, there are
(21:13):
big spotty holes in it, especially when you get the
fake one or the real ones. The real ones are
obviously they're not gonna be perfect because they're real. But
then the fake ones I think they thin out or something.
Maybe in storage. I think some of the things fall off,
oh gotcha or whatever, and maybe the branches aren't as pliable.
This one, you can move the branches around and get
(21:34):
the perfect coverage. I think it's like Balsam Hill or
something like. That's the name of the brand.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I did see one of the lights we went to yesterday.
They had like a ten foot tree. I mean it
was huge. It was probably six feet in diameter.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
At the Bay Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Five hundred and twenty five dollars for that one.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Yeah. Yeah, that's a Christmas to remember that.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
There's a Christmas tree.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Remember there's a lot of pictures with that one.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
