Hello, Keilly Nash. Hey,it's tomorrow show. Today. Tomorrow's Thursday,
the eighteenth of May. M he'dready for another big weekend. We
got Gamecock baseball tomorrow night, Fridaynight, Saturday night, Saturday, Saturday
and Saturday we have USC softball.Yeah, and the Gamecock's making a nice
(00:23):
little running softball. So that's excitingto see. Now, Clumps and Tigers
saftball, you don't care about them? Okay, we got some morning wash
regulars are a big Clumps and Tigerfan, and their baseball team is all
fire. I actually listened to ourold friend Lawton Swan the other day on
Sports Talk fourteen hundreds, and hewas interviewing somebody. I guess they'd run
(00:44):
out of sports that he wanted totalk about, because he said, I'll
be honest with you, I don'tknow anything about Clempson softball, but should
they be upset that they're ranked asthe sixteen seed right now? And the
guy was making the point that ifyou look at their body of work for
the season, that's about where theyshould be. Although they've been particularly hot
(01:08):
as of late. Both their teamsare hot late in the season. That's
what coaches love think gets hot,I can't peak too early. Well,
you know, games don't think wenecessarily peaked too early. We's been struggling
with injuries. Yeah, I wasgonna say, injuries have really done a
lot to the Gamecocks. It's inThe loss last night is shocking to me
(01:30):
because I felt like after the weekendwhen you played Arkansas and we really had
some pitchers duels over the weekend.Yeah, I thought, Okay, now
with Cole Massena behind the plate,things are going great again. And you
know, I know, Cole hitlike a three run homer last night.
So I was like, all right, so we're back in business. And
we you know, we end upputting what like a ton of runs on
(01:52):
the board, like seven maybe itwas nine eleven to seven eleven and nine
whatever it was. But I meanthe pitching must have just falling apart again.
Yeah, and I'm thinking that's strategic. We're getting ready for the weekend.
Okay, lull Tennessee into a falsesense of security as they come in.
That's a non conference game. We'restoring up all right, saving it
(02:13):
up brother, all right. Soanyway, we got all that coming down
as we kick off the weekend onThursday for all intents and purposes with all
that happening, and then, uh, I'm going to be out of Carolina
Adventure World seeing my grit spitting buddiesafter the big ride for Demon Jones.
Oh great, so I'll be outthere Saturday night. I love going to
(02:35):
Caroline at Venture World. Well,so people could go to the baseball game
in the day. That's why Iwent up to Carolina Adventure World at night,
see us all over the state.And then they got a big Memorial
Day weekend scheduled as well. Idon't have all that information in front of
me. Probably has some more Americanflag flying skydivers coming in. All right,
so let's talk about what we cantalk about tomorrow morning. Well,
(02:59):
as we get closer to the weekend, most people end up going out at
some point over the weekend. Couldbe big deal, could be a little
deal. But wherever you're going,guaranteed now somebody's going to be asking you
for a tip. And I wasjust reading a story in the New York
Post entitled guilt tipping is out ofcontrol? Do you feel that way?
(03:23):
I felt that way for about ayear. Now that they want that,
they have the audacity to ask fortips on literally anything and everything. Now,
well, given that we had aconversation, I guess it was two
weeks ago. Now that these peopledon't even getting the tips, I'm starting
to question them. Whenever I givea tip, do you guys get this
tip? Or is it just goto the owner? Okay? And they
(03:45):
say no, we get it,then I give it okay. Well,
I mean so like, for example, you go to the dry cleaners,
Hey, would you like to adda dollar tip? Not a Why what
did you do? You rang theregister? I don't even do that with
charities. Would you like to giveto the children who would like to have
shoes from Michael Jordans? I guaranteeI'll never give to a charity at a
(04:08):
store. I haven't done it inabout fifteen years after somebody explained to me
and I looked into it, andit turns out that all that does is
give a huge tax break to thecorporation Walmart, Target, whomever, who
at the end of the year takesall of our money and then donates it
as a tax right off, butthey give you credit for it on the
(04:29):
telethon our shoppers and employees have donatedsix million dollars. They give you the
credit right there. They didn't mentionyou by name. Well I might as
well if I want to give moneyto the homeless children or whatever it's called,
the children who won't shoes. SoMichael Jordan's yeah, I will go
find them online, give the tipor whatever to them directly, and then
(04:50):
I will get the credit on mytaxes. So I'm not trying to let
you shine off my donation. Peopillwear that crowd on this earth and not
cast it when he gets to heaven, for he is bragg he is bragging
about it now. So yeah,when you start talking, they said,
the pandemic changed everything, and sothere is a fifteen hundred percent increase in
(05:16):
tips. Now, wow, yep. So the amount of money that Americans
have tipped has gone up fifteen hundredpercent because we're tipping people at grocery stores,
We're tipping them at dry cleaners,we're tipping them. It just has
nothing to do with food anymore.It's just I want some money, Give
me some money. I'm doing somethingnow, especially at convenience stores, in
(05:41):
fast food restaurants where instead of becauseyou don't have an opportunity, we don't
have opportunities as of yet. Whenif that's coming at a convenience store,
Oh absolutely, he rang up myorder. They actually said right here at
seven to eleven, seven eleven,tipping is through the roof, and really,
yeah, so's it's happening. Gasstations, would you like to pay
an extra dollar for your gas today? I could have it, but I
(06:06):
do this and I there was aguy behind the counter and his name kind
of come to me in a minute. I believe it was Xavier, and
Xavier was not having a good day. I could tell when I walked up
and go, Yo, what's up, Xavier? How you doing? Just
there was barely a response. SoI, you know, checking out and
(06:28):
I counted wrong, and he juststood there with his hand, and I
know what it was. It wastwenty one dollars and some change and I
given him so no, it's elevendollars in change. And I had given
him what I thought was a twentyand a one and some change so I
(06:50):
could get back at ten dollar bill. And he's just standing here with his
with his hand. He's looking atme, so I'm not looking at his
hand, I'm looking at him,and he's not saying a word all right.
So then I looked down and Irealized what I've done. I said,
oh, I'm sorry. I gavehim a twenty I took back one
(07:12):
of the ones. He gave mea ten dollar bill. Oh okay,
and he just kind of grunted again, and I said, man, I
just want you to know I reallyappreciate you being here. Yeah, And
it's like four people standing behind me, and I said, because I'm really
thirsty. I needed this. Ineeded I needed this dag energy drink.
And he would have a headache.And this lady over here desperately needs something
(07:34):
to eat, and I don't knowwhat that kid needs a slurpee over there.
All of us would be upset ifyou weren't here. I want to
thank you for being here. Andthen he perked up. Oh I thought
you were gonna say, why don'tyou show it? Why don't you give
me? No, he perked upand said, well, you know,
I'm well, I appreciate that.I said, no, we all appreciate
(07:55):
it. So and then the entirecrowd starts encouraging this guy. Am I
writer, Am I right? Terslippers for everybody? Now, I got
idea. I didn't give him amonetary reward, but I gave him words
of affirmation. Words of affirmation.That doesn't count, does it? That
(08:16):
doesn't fill up the t Put thaton the screen. Would you like to
give twenty percent? Or words ofaffirmation? Give me the numbers so I
can text them. He seemed tobe in a better mood when I left.
You're doing a wonderful job there,Billy. Well, by the way,
have you seen the new check outat the Circle K's. It's the
(08:41):
only place I've seen it. Youtake all your items, could be a
coke and a potato, chips,crackers, whatever, okay, and you
put them on this there's a specialIt looks like a scale, but it's
not a scale. It won't weighthings. You put it on there and
then it adds it all up.And then you put your own money in
and it gives you the change backor you use your card. Yeah,
(09:05):
and they don't even have to doanything. Aren't that great? That's and
and that will help. I rememberabout a year ago we did a story
where attorneys were telling people to stopusing self checkout because what was happening is
the register at a Walmart or someplacewould come up short for the day,
(09:28):
and they would then go and lookat security video and they would just come
to a conclusion that guy looked likehe had a lot of stuff there.
I bet he didn't pay as muchas he was supposed to. And they
would just contact the authorities and saiddo you do you have proof of what
you bought? And then people arelike and he was like, most people
(09:52):
end up just settling and saying,you know what, what is it a
hundred dollars you're saying I owe you? Because the hell up. Otherwise you're
going to go to court and thenyou're gonna have to have credit card people
come and vouch it. That's thecredit card that you used on that day
at that store and all this otherstuff. And he was like, it's
a it's an expensive You don't rememberthe story we did this. I remember
(10:13):
this where they were saying, justsave yourself to hassle, wait in line
and pay the register person because thenif there's a shortage, it's their fault.
If you go through the self checkoutand they accuse you, you've got
now the burdens on you and itcan become a problem. It's funny because
when they make a mistake because Ibought something recently at a Walmart. Oh,
(10:35):
I know, folding chairs. Ineed some folding chairs. I got
four of them and they were seventeendollars each. And I'm checking out.
I didn't use a self checkout,and she said, and I held one
of them up so she could scanit. She said, no, and
you've got three of these. Isaid, no, I've got four.
(10:56):
She actually did that because she'd alreadyput in three. Did she had to
cancel that out and put in four, I guess. And I'm like,
wow, I can't even do theright thing without getting the I'm trying to
remember where I was where the ladyjust said take it. I'm trying to
remember. I was checking out andit was like it was like an energy
(11:20):
drink or something like that that Ijust I can't remember where I was.
But I had paid for like thesandwich or whatever, like she had wrung
that up and then she said like, okay, your total is nine dollars
or whatever. Yeah. I said, oh, you forgot this thing,
and she gave me the She's like, you know what, that's on me,
just take it. That's not onyou. You didn't register it.
(11:41):
If that's not in the register.Well, I guess you're gonna have to
Well, they're gonna say, hey, what happened to this beverage? It's
gone and we didn't get paid forit, and it'd be on video.
You pointed at him and said takeit. You gave him the hand.
Everybody knows what the hand means.I was like, cool, thank you
very much. I will appreciate thisbed for a chaster. That's why we
(12:03):
all have to pay too much ofthis store Kelly shopped at, because that's
not ringing it up. Just takeit, Just take it, get out
of here and beat it. Kid. Try to looking at you, damn
you and you're wanting to buy stuffall the time. It was like literally
like I had put like maybe whatever. It was a sandwich, bag of
chips and the drink all together infront of her and she and this is
(12:28):
your total as I said, whoawhat about this? It's like, why
are you making my life so difficult? Right? That's funny anyway? Um.
Also tomorrow, guy named Cody Archieis getting national attention after he told
(12:48):
Fox Business News that when his daughterturned eighteen, they started charging her two
hundred dollars a month rent the daughter, Kylie, had graduated from high school
in May of twenty two and hadalready told her parents she planned on not
going to college, that she wasgoing to instead get a job and experience
life. Oh yeah, okay,go ahead, And so they said,
(13:11):
well, that's fantastic, Kylie,but we're going to charge you rent to
live here then, and the rentwas two hundred. Now she had if
she had wanted to eat their food, that was another hundred dollars a month.
So that's three hundred dollars if youwanted to stay and have stuff out
of our food supply. She optedfor the two hundred dollars payment and said
(13:33):
she'd go shopping on her own.And he says the purpose was to get
her to realize everything in life isnot free for her. For adults,
this is a life lesson. Soshe lived there only a few months.
She lived there till the beginning oftwenty three, and then she moved into
a much more expensive apartment so shecould be on her own. Now,
(13:54):
on TikTok, where this video wasposted, there's been a million comments and
a lot of people saying things likethis feels more like punishment than anything,
because she wouldn't do what you wantedit or do the internet will divide itself.
You think the Grand Canyon, it'sa chasm. Wait till this time,
(14:15):
wait till less than twenty four hours. And now when we're bringing this
up on the year. So thequestion is what age can you charge a
kid rent or do you I mean, like as I ended that story,
or is it rent free forever becausethey're your folks and so they've always got
to look out for you even whenyou're sixty. Interesting, my stepdad charges
(14:37):
me rent, like literally, likeon my eighteenth birthday, gave me a
birthday that day. Yeah, Isaid, and here's your bill for the
first month's rent. Payple up front. I don't remember what No all,
you just said. It'll be doingthirty days just so. But you're not
living here for free anymore. You'reeighteen. You're a man. Get the
hell out and go live and getthe hell out of Yeah. As,
(14:58):
by the way, this in andrent, this is an inconvenience feat I
think. I mean, you know, he was a hard man, but
I think that you know, hewas making a very similar point to me
that you know there are Thank godI wasn't in the Jewish Faith because thirteen
is adulthood, right, you becomea man at thirteen in the Jewish Faith.
(15:20):
And you know here in America we'vesaid it's eighteen. At eighteen years
old, you are a man ora woman, and you're now responsible for
yourself. Well, we, unfortunately, I think, have done a disservice
to a lot to bug generations ofchildren now for the last twenty thirty years.
(15:41):
It seems like where we have kindof coddled them into adulthood and trying
to make their life more comfy andgive them a sense of security. And
when you're doing that, what you'rereally doing is softening them up for the
slaughter which will come when real lifeeventually has to hit them. YEA,
life is going to hit everybody atsome point, and if you're not hardened
(16:03):
to it, then As I waswatching this football coach yesterday, sometimes when
you're scrolling on Instagram or whatever,you'll just see videos of people you're not
following. I don't even know howthey end up on your feed, but
there was this one of the headfootball coach at the Detroit Lions, and
he was almost heartbroken as he wasspeaking to the team and they were all
(16:27):
sitting there on the field exhausted,and he said, guys, I swear
to God, I swear to God. If I could have practice without pads,
I would do it. But itwould be a disservice to you and
to this organization if I didn't tryto toughen you up. The goal of
(16:47):
football is to hit people, andpeople get hurt when they get hit if
they're not ready for it. Andthe only way to get ready for it
is to get hit you. So, I know a lot of you guys
are getting injured right now, andI'm hoping that it's not career ending.
But you're either going to do itnow or you're gonna do it in the
season. Let's get it out ofthe way now. And I was like,
(17:08):
Oh, this is good, becausethis is where life is. That's
right. You've got to get toughenedup for it. Eighteen nineteen. Toughen
them up, charge them, allright, we'll talk about that tomorrow.
Hey, what's going on in yourneighborhood. We'll be talking about you know,
how to reach out to us onsocial media and email. Tomorrow we
start talking, you start talking,be part of the great divide. Tomorrow
the Internet divide moving to the morningrush

If that's not in the register.Well, I guess you're gonna have to
Well, they're gonna say, hey, what happened to this beverage? It's
gone and we didn't get paid forit, and it'd be on video.
You pointed at him and said takeit. You gave him the hand.
Everybody knows what the hand means.I was like, cool, thank you
very much. I will appreciate thisbed for a chaster. That's why we
(12:03):
all have to pay too much ofthis store Kelly shopped at, because that's
not ringing it up. Just takeit, Just take it, get out
of here and beat it. Kid. Try to looking at you, damn
you and you're wanting to buy stuffall the time. It was like literally
like I had put like maybe whatever. It was a sandwich, bag of
chips and the drink all together infront of her and she and this is
(12:28):
your total as I said, whoawhat about this? It's like, why
are you making my life so difficult? Right? That's funny anyway? Um.
Also tomorrow, guy named Cody Archieis getting national attention after he told
(12:48):
Fox Business News that when his daughterturned eighteen, they started charging her two
hundred dollars a month rent the daughter, Kylie, had graduated from high school
in May of twenty two and hadalready told her parents she planned on not
going to college, that she wasgoing to instead get a job and experience
life. Oh yeah, okay,go ahead, And so they said,
(13:11):
well, that's fantastic, Kylie,but we're going to charge you rent to
live here then, and the rentwas two hundred. Now she had if
she had wanted to eat their food, that was another hundred dollars a month.
So that's three hundred dollars if youwanted to stay and have stuff out
of our food supply. She optedfor the two hundred dollars payment and said
(13:33):
she'd go shopping on her own.And he says the purpose was to get
her to realize everything in life isnot free for her. For adults,
this is a life lesson. Soshe lived there only a few months.
She lived there till the beginning oftwenty three, and then she moved into
a much more expensive apartment so shecould be on her own. Now,
(13:54):
on TikTok, where this video wasposted, there's been a million comments and
a lot of people saying things likethis feels more like punishment than anything,
because she wouldn't do what you wantedit or do the internet will divide itself.
You think the Grand Canyon, it'sa chasm. Wait till this time,
(14:15):
wait till less than twenty four hours. And now when we're bringing this
up on the year. So thequestion is what age can you charge a
kid rent or do you I mean, like as I ended that story,
or is it rent free forever becausethey're your folks and so they've always got
to look out for you even whenyou're sixty. Interesting, my stepdad charges
(14:37):
me rent, like literally, likeon my eighteenth birthday, gave me a
birthday that day. Yeah, Isaid, and here's your bill for the
first month's rent. Payple up front. I don't remember what No all,
you just said. It'll be doingthirty days just so. But you're not
living here for free anymore. You'reeighteen. You're a man. Get the
hell out and go live and getthe hell out of Yeah. As,
(14:58):
by the way, this in andrent, this is an inconvenience feat I
think. I mean, you know, he was a hard man, but
I think that you know, hewas making a very similar point to me
that you know there are Thank godI wasn't in the Jewish Faith because thirteen
is adulthood, right, you becomea man at thirteen in the Jewish Faith.
(15:20):
And you know here in America we'vesaid it's eighteen. At eighteen years
old, you are a man ora woman, and you're now responsible for
yourself. Well, we, unfortunately, I think, have done a disservice
to a lot to bug generations ofchildren now for the last twenty thirty years.
(15:41):
It seems like where we have kindof coddled them into adulthood and trying
to make their life more comfy andgive them a sense of security. And
when you're doing that, what you'rereally doing is softening them up for the
slaughter which will come when real lifeeventually has to hit them. YEA,
life is going to hit everybody atsome point, and if you're not hardened
(16:03):
to it, then As I waswatching this football coach yesterday, sometimes when
you're scrolling on Instagram or whatever,you'll just see videos of people you're not
following. I don't even know howthey end up on your feed, but
there was this one of the headfootball coach at the Detroit Lions, and
he was almost heartbroken as he wasspeaking to the team and they were all
(16:27):
sitting there on the field exhausted,and he said, guys, I swear
to God, I swear to God. If I could have practice without pads,
I would do it. But itwould be a disservice to you and
to this organization if I didn't tryto toughen you up. The goal of
(16:47):
football is to hit people, andpeople get hurt when they get hit if
they're not ready for it. Andthe only way to get ready for it
is to get hit you. So, I know a lot of you guys
are getting injured right now, andI'm hoping that it's not career ending.
But you're either going to do itnow or you're gonna do it in the
season. Let's get it out ofthe way now. And I was like,
(17:08):
Oh, this is good, becausethis is where life is. That's
right. You've got to get toughenedup for it. Eighteen nineteen. Toughen
them up, charge them, allright, we'll talk about that tomorrow.
Hey, what's going on in yourneighborhood. We'll be talking about you know,
how to reach out to us onsocial media and email. Tomorrow we
start talking, you start talking,be part of the great divide. Tomorrow
the Internet divide moving to the morningrush
