moments on the way into the building this morning. I
thought I was gonna see my dad sooner than expected. U. So,
as I was driving in, I was on Vietnam Vets
and I was just minding my own business, being safe,
doing the speed limit, drinking my coffee, and then out
of nowhere, bam, it was like a herd of deer,

(08:22):
like a whole squadron just chilling on the side of
the road over there on Vietnam vets. And I'm not
talking about like one Bamby, I mean the entire cast
of Bamby and well, they were all just staring at me,
and I was like, oh God, is this about to happen?
Am I about to just drill one of these deers?
So I'm like freaking out and I'm just kind of

(08:42):
still doing my thing. And as I get closer and closer,
they just like scatter like cockroaches when you turn on
the light. And I was like, oh my god, Oh
my god, this is it.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
And one of them I thought was going to jump
in front of me. Luckily it didn't went the other way.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
And I was extremely like, like heart racing.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
Didn't he need the coffee anymore for that?

Classic Rockets Battle of the Morning. So we're talking about
ways that you almost died. I almost died this morning.
And I'm exaggerating, but I thought I was going to
die when I heard of deer decided to scatter as

(10:26):
I was doing seventy on Vietnam vets on the way
into work this morning. Hey Jeff, hanging out in the burrow,
How did you almost die?

Speaker 6 (10:34):
This is a story actually about my little brother not okay.
When he was in the fourth grade, he decided to
skip school because his soccer ball got caught on a
roof of a metal building behind our house. So he
skipped class one day and went back with a friend to.

Speaker 7 (10:50):
Get it off the roof.

Speaker 6 (10:51):
He climbed up there to get it off, and it
had been right and the roof was wet, and we
all know that rope was wet is really slick right, Well,
instead of picking up the ball and throwing it off
the rope, he decided kick it.

Speaker 7 (11:01):
When he did, he's still on a button and slid
off the roof.

Speaker 6 (11:04):
And uh, all it was the wind out of it.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
I mean, that could have been definitely a different story
than we were talking about this morning. Thankfully, all it
did was knock the wind out of him. If you
got an interesting story to talk about how you almost died. Uh,
sixty one five seven three seven one oh five nine
is the number if you want to get in this
morning against sixty one five seven three seven.

Speaker 7 (11:48):
Well, I was about seventeen with my friends and we
were born and broke, uh huh, decided we were going
to jump the train and getting on with easy, getting
off was hard, right, and ended up breaking my front
two teeth completely off.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
Oo. I bet that was an interesting story when you
got home and your parents were like, where's your two
front teeth?

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Right?

Speaker 7 (12:12):
Going home? Explaining that to my father was not fun.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah, I bet also probably not fun when you had
to go to the dentist as well. Six one five
seven three seven one oh five nine is the number
if you want to get in we're talking about weird ways.

deer on the side of the road on Vietnam Vets.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
And then they all.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
Decided to say, hey, let's go for a jog, and

My dad loves to garage. The door unlocked and I
went into the garage. Yeah, and I was messing with
us all and trying to saw and this all kicked
the board up and it cut my forehead open. And
they took me to the hospital, and I told him
home and everything that I was walking and stepped on
the board and it flipped up and hit me in
the head. But there was a lot of blood came

(13:33):
out because when you cut yourself in the head, you
bleed a lot.

Speaker 4 (13:36):

their foreheads to see all that blood go crazy. I

In Nashville's Classic Rock. So when you're heading out the
door in the morning, do you go through like a
mental checklist before you walk out the door and make
sure you don't forget anything like your keys, your wallet,
your phone, of course, your spare underwear.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
Yeah, of course.

Speaker 4 (15:15):
To the survey, nearly half of all Americans carry back
up underwear with them. Yes, seventy percent of people who
carry spare underwear said that they have.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
Had it come in handy at least once.

Speaker 4 (15:26):
Yeah. I don't know about you, but I'm not carrying
spare underwear around with me. But now that I read
this survey and I read this story, and I'm like,
maybe I should carry spear and wear because you never
know when some accident's gonna happen and you're gonna be like, yeah,
I need underwear now, So do you carry spare underwear
around with you? I'm sure you didn't, but you probably

(15:48):
will now after we talked about it. I want to
join the show Hit There, Red hotback mic on the

play it, we'll give you a keyword. After that second song,
you say back the keyword to us, and you're automatically

It's Battle in the Morning.

Speaker 4 (16:30):
It's one oh five nine the Right Nashville's classic rock.
And you know, life is all about balance, and one
of the most important balancing acts of any adults day
to day existence is separating work life and home life,
and well, unfortunately, many workers just don't know when to
take a break. If you ask my wife, I don't
know when to take a break because I'm always always working.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
Even when I'm at home the work day's over.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
I'm still finding a way to work and stay connected.
Forty seven percent of people surveyed said that they cannot
stop working. And I will tell you I may workaholic.
That is one of the traits that I got from
my dad is I'm constantly working. If I'm not doing
this radio show, I'm DJing for the Preds. If I'm
not djming for the Preds, then I'm doing stuff with
the National Sounds. If I'm not doing stuff with the

(17:16):
National Sounds, I'm dj ning Jim and.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
I don't know how to shut it off.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
Like when we were in Cancun last year in Mexico,
i still was working on the beach. Twenty twenty five
is the year that I shut things off. That's that's
what I hope to do.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
Well. It happened probably.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
Not twent oh five nine in the Rock Nashville's Classic
Rock and led Zeppelin. Heck, twent o five nine in
the Right Nashville is classic rock. It's battle in the morning,
things for hanging out with us here on your two
for Tuesday. I read this story and I'm like, maybe
I should do this, Maybe that might help me. A
marilynd man took a negative encounter with a rude driver

(17:54):
and turn it into a wopping five hundred thousand dollars
lottery win. After getting cut off on the highway by
a rude driver, the man memorized the license plate number
of the vehicle.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Well.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
Later that day, he went to.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
A liquor store, bought ten pick five tickets with the
numbers from the license plate, and lo and behold, my
man hit ten tickets.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
He purchase earned.

Speaker 4 (18:14):
Him a fifty thousand dollars prize totally a grand prize
of five hundred thousand dollars. So if somebody cuts you
off today, remember their license plate numbers.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
Use that. It could get you some money, or it
could get your flipped off.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
Time for the door.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Well, you can't control stupid, can y. Hey it's battle and.

Speaker 4 (18:40):
A huge swath of the century just got nailed by
snow and ice. And it's always nice to see stories
about people helping people, Yeah, this isn't one of them.
Thirty two year old man in Saint Louis got his
car stuck in the snow while trying to get into
a parking garage. Luckily, another guy in a SHV shot
up and helped him get outs. But then things took
unexpect to turn right after that when the same guy
who helped him immediately robbed him. Yeah, the man who

(19:02):
got stuck parked his car in the garage. Then the
guy who helped him walked up with a gun and.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
Said give me the keys.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
That guy gave up his car keys, ran off, called
the cops, but it turned out the jerk who did
rob him never actually took the car still in the
garage when the cops got there, and they're now trying
to track the guy down the door.
