Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hello, Killing Nash, Good morning. It's tomorrow show today, Well,
it'll be the morning after the bigcelebration for the game Cocks today at the
Colonial Life Arena and the solar eclipseor whatever we'll see of it. Yeah,
I was thinking maybe we would talkabout did anybody watch it? Did

(00:22):
anybody go blind? Yeah? Imean, if you're gonna watch it and
you're even fearful, even if youknow, you're pretty confident your glasses are
good, by the way, yougot the three step process to protect your
eyes. Yeah, if you're listeningto this podcast on Monday before the eclipse,
they're saying that there's a the wholemarket has been a wash in fake

(00:43):
glasses, damn it. And soeven if you think that they're reputable,
Yeah, you might want to justdo the three step test. Basically,
put them on. Look at thelight in your house. If you can
see the light in your house,you probably have fake glasses. If you
don't really see the light in thehouse, then you go outside with your
glasses and look at the sun's reflectionoff of something like your car. If

(01:06):
that is pretty bright, then yougot a problem. And then your third
test is to plan to look atthe sun for about a second, because
you won't do much damage if they'refake in a second, if you just
look at that and then kind ofthink about it. Did I actually see
the outline of the sun or didI just see the sun? And I'd

(01:26):
like to add a fourth step.Okay, cover one eye, save one
way as you go blind? Yougot one eye? You know what I
You know, it's funny. Inever thought about this until about six months
ago, and in all honesty,I tried to implement it, and it
hasn't. I always forget to implementit when I start playing. But this

(01:48):
guy had a thing that I hadnot considered, and he was talking about
for tennis players, if you haveto know what your dominant eye is.
I didn't even realize that there wassuch a thing, like I have a
good eye, I have an eyethat works better. Everybody has a dominant
eye, but you do have adominant eye. And I think it was

(02:10):
for me it was my left eyewas the dominant eye. And the way
you test that, from what Iremember, was like you hold up your
finger and you and you both youreyes are looking at something and your fingers
in between it, and then youclose one eye and if it looks like
it's off center now, then thatis the non dominant eye. The dominant

(02:34):
eye is the one that kind ofmakes it seem like it's in the way.
And because I think it was myleft eye, I can't remember.
I should do the test again.But whatever it was, I was supposed
to adjust my positioning because my itwas weird my head. I was in
a severe minority. It was likethe right handed players with left dominant eyes

(03:00):
or something. It's only like eighteenpercent of the players. Something interesting.
And so when you take advice ortips on how to hit a ball,
you have to change your footwork becausethe way you line things up is different,
got it? And the way youserve is different, and the way
everything is different because of the weirddominant eye thing. So I guess,

(03:22):
before you do your one eye testthat Jonathan suggesting, find out what the
dominant eye is and save that one. Sure you don't. You don't want
to lose the dominant eye, No, you do not, But maybe when
you get to it. Probably theage of most of the people listening right
now would be the age that kindof in that age group that we're at,
where you start realizing crap, Thiseye is really going down quick.

(03:44):
So if you're going to lose aneye, lose that one, even if
that is the dominant eye. Again, we're not optomologists homologists. Yeah,
so we have no idea what we'retalking about here. Reading that you probably
have a minimum you have if youpurchased your glasses. They are suspect,

(04:04):
we'll put it that way. Well, and they were talking about you don't
even know like companies, Like wehad a guy talking about a restaurant that
was handing him out with his order. They may have bought him off of
what they thought was a reputable company, but they don't know. So test
them before you put them to work. The World's Greatest Sandwich was the name

(04:26):
that Adam Sandler. I didn't watchthe movie Spanglish, but if you've seen
it, Adam Sandler is trying tocreate the world's greatest sandwich, and apparently
the movie claims that he did createthe world's greatest sandwich at the end of
the movie. Now, I don'tknow why, all these years later,
Yahoo wanted to test it. Somebodynamed Choya Johnson. On April eighth,

(04:50):
twenty twenty four, that is today, she wrote a piece about this movie.
Now, the movie's been out sincefour so lit behind the times,
but interesting that I had not heardof the World's Greatest Sandwich. And she
says it is Adam Sandler's actually favoritesandwich in real life. That's why they

(05:12):
used it in the movie. Heapparently referenced it recently. It's still his
favorite sandwich. She started trying ita couple of months ago and says it
is now her favorite sandwich. Ohokay, yeah, so the world's greatest
sandwich according to her. And I'mnot gonna go through all of how to
make it, but it's basically toastsour dough bread. You use mayonnaise on

(05:36):
one of them, you melt montereyjack cheese on the other, put a
fried egg on there, throw butter, lettuce, tomato, salt and pepper,
bam'r and bacon. That's your sandwich. She calls it a belt.
That's a bacon. What is it? The belt stood for bacon, egg,

(05:58):
lettuce, and tomatoes. Okay,all right, I would try that.
Usually the Frida egg and a sandwichyou lose me. But with the
bacon on there, I might.I would have to go with the way
it's prescribed. She says it's agreat breakfast sandwich, but it's also a
great lunch or dinner. She said, it's so awesome. I sometimes will
even eat it for dessert. Ilove it. I think I have all
those ingredients in my house, andI may be there for lunch, so

(06:21):
I may have to make one today. But do you already have a world's
great I see, I don't havea world's greatest sandwich. That's funny.
I've never even contemplated, like,I just eat whatever's around me too,
put a little bit of everything that'savailable. Yeah, we got ham and
turkey. Okay, good, I'lltake both of them. But I don't
even I can't say in my memorythat I've eaten a sandwich and was like,

(06:46):
wow, that was really something kindof special. Yeah, and unless
I really sit down like yes daybefore yesterday, we may be elties.
But unless I'm gonna sit down andmake a bl T, I don't ever
put bacon on a sandwich. I'mnot taking the time to cook bacon.
Okay, so I'll have to goout of my way and cook bacon.

(07:11):
But have you had like a BLTand then going, oh my gosh,
that was like if I have asteak, if it's done right, I
can make a steak, or Ican eat one at a restaurant and I
go, wow, that was somethingspecial. Or I can have lasagna and
go wow, that was something special. Sandwich I've never said that was really

(07:31):
it was a sandwich. Like Inever been to the subway. I know
that there. They're the sandwich artistsor whatever the whatever. It's all it's
had bacon on it. If sandwiches. When I get to a particular restaurant,
if Sally wants to eat something fromso and so, if I'm going
to go there, I will getLike if I go to the other store,
I'm going to get the club.Now. They insist on getting the

(07:54):
Greek turkey. They say the Greekturkey is the best sandwich in Columbia,
the Greek Greek Turkey Club sandwich.They claim that. Yeah, my kids,
David will if he was leaving tocome in from Jacksonville, he would
not stop anywhere along the way andeat, just waiting to get that great
turkey sandwich. So should I gothere like much like Elf and congratulate them.

(08:16):
You did it, guys, ButI don't necessarily I mean I always
get the club because I know it'sgood. I'm one of those guys that
once I go in and have somethingat a restaurant and it's good, I
get it every time, because youdon't always know if it's going to be
good, even at really great restaurants. When Garibaldi's was here, and I

(08:37):
know you can get the same thingnow with Columbia's, but when a Garabaldies
was here, I went for abouta decade before I ever ordered anything other
than the Krispy flounder. Well again, that flounder. I can see where
that would be amazing, lots ofdifferent fish dishes, but I have never
been blown away by any sandwiches,and just reading that description does not make

(09:00):
me believe I would be blown awayby that sandwich either. I'd be interested
to know if anybody else has asandwich that they rave about. I know
next week I'm going to go againfor lunch at Hal's. The cheeseburger or
hamburger, if you choose the cheeseburgeris phenomenal, and it's affordably priced.
I think you get the cheeseburger.I think I can get the cheeseburger with

(09:20):
the typical sides whatever the's fries orsomething else with a T for like eighteen
dollars no flipping wet. I don'tknow if that's steal the price. But
last time I was there, yeah, we just read that it's more than
at a McDonald's. Now you're right, it has to be up. It
has to go up. By theMcDonald's is twenty bucks for that meal.
It's crazy what prices are doing thesedays. By the way, maybe we

(09:43):
should talk about what kind of costsaving measures are you making. We got
two things on that. One wasa report from iHeart Research that came out
yesterday. I don't know if youread that email, and it was talking
about out how here's the headline.Middle income Americans are now thinking and acting

(10:05):
like low Traditionally low income earners peoplewho make one hundred thousand dollars a year,
so you're in that one hundred thousanddollars price range. Those used to
be considered upper middle class. Butin the last two or three years,
you're no longer considered upper middle class. And those people, according to this

(10:28):
research, this is amazing to me, are now more likely than low income
earners to walk away from higher prices. While shopping. Yes, so the
low income earners will still spend theextra money on their favorite snacks or whatever,
even though the prices have gone up, while the people making in that

(10:50):
one hundred thousand dollars price range arelike, forget that, I'm not spending
eight bucks on a box of cookies. Yes, And there are several reasons
for that to get into necessarily onthis because we're not a political podcast,
but I did think it was interestingthe number of Americans now who are skipping
meals, that's what. Yeah,And that was the other story that we

(11:11):
were looking at was how more thanfifty percent of Americans say that it's difficult
to meet their mortgage obligations every monthnow, and that's obviously because of other
costs, because the mortgage hasn't changed, but the costs around the rest of
your life have. And so theywere talking about it was something like twenty
percent of Americans say that they areskipping meals. Of Americans are skipping meals,

(11:37):
that's insane to me. It's likethirty four percent of Americans say they
haven't been on a vacation in twoyears and can't afford to go on on
this year either. Yes, Sothere's a lot of trimming going around the
budget these days, so maybe wecould talk about that. Although I've got

(11:58):
Sally to the point where she canwithout great frustration, which has been the
problem before, she can maneuver twoor three different remote controls at the same
time. Because if you're streaming andstuff like that, first you got to
get used to all the streaming mAnd I know we got young people saying,
what do you have to get usedto it? That's what you grew

(12:18):
up on. We grew up onsomething called cable. Well, we didn't
even grow up on that. Wegot cable later in life. Yeah,
you know, I was thinking aboutthis the other day, and you're a
little bit older than me, butI was thirty six that the first thirty
six years of No. Thirty thirtytwo. The first thirty two years of

(12:41):
my life was spent in the nineteenhundreds thirty three roughly. I was born
in the middle of June of nineteensixty seven is my birthday. So the
first thirty two and a half yearsof my life I was living in the
nineteen hundreds. So until I hitsix Steve five ish, I will have

(13:01):
spent more time in the nineteen hundredsthan after in the two thousands. Yes,
and so like when I was thinkingabout that as I was watching Smokey
and the Bandit the other day withmy wife, and she is thirteen year
twelve and a half years younger thanme, so she has already spent most
of her life in the two thousands, right, so she's in her mid

(13:22):
forties now, which so my senseof normal and her sense of normal are
different in the sense that my senseof normal still goes back to the seventies
and eighties and nineties, which somethinghappened in the two thousands. I mean,
I know, obviously September eleventh happenedin two thousand and one, but

(13:43):
the two thousands are a completely differentuniverse than they were previously. And you
know, we talked about not onlydo we not have cable, we were
the changer like your dad would yellat you, hey, hey, go
put the thing on, and youhad three channels to choose from, and
you picked those three, and thenoftentimes, depending on where you were in

(14:05):
the country or the room that youwere standing in, you might actually be
the antenna like hold that hold thatit'll move, Yeah, when you let
it go, it doesn't work asgood, so hang on to that,
so you might end up as aeight year old. You're staying there for
twenty thirty minutes trying to watch MaryTyler Moore. Yeah whatever, the quarterback
you've never heard of before, likeJoe Willie. Joe Willie's about to pass

(14:30):
the ball. Stay right there,move to this play is over completely different
world before two thousand. Anyway,we could talk about that. We also
have this fella here. Actually thisis not a fella. Now that I'm
reading it, it looks like Malia. Okay, I probably shouldn't say the
name. Hey, scratch that.You didn't hear that, folks. Uh,

(14:52):
this is what she writes. Myfriend did my flowers for my daughter's
wedding. We've been friend for twentyyears, and she was like, can
you write me a review? AndI did, and I gave her an
honest one, but a good one. I gave her four and a half
stars because she did drop the ballon a few things, specifically the corsage

(15:13):
for my dress. And I don'twant a fib and give her a five
because she didn't do a five starjob. But now she isn't talking to
me. That's great. She didn'tgive me a friend discount either. I
paid full price, just like everybodyelse. So I gave her a review
like everybody else. And the reviewis not only honest, but it's a

(15:35):
good one. Yeah. Five stars. Yeah, the full price thing totally
lets this woman off the hook.But should you give your friend a five
star review you paid full price justbecause I hire them? Does it?
You know? If she got somekind of discount or something, I'd be
like, yeah, that was alow blow. Although still the principles the

(15:58):
same. Do I lie to otherpeople online? It sounds like you're saying
your lie for a price. Ifyou'd given me fifteen percent off, which
is basically your profit, I hadgiven me that off. Sure, I'll
tell them you did a five star. Should I revise my position my statement

(16:18):
for tomorrow? Probably not, Probablywon't. But as a four, I
mean a foreigner houseof Life just didthis less than two weeks ago. What's
that? She went into a restaurant. Okay, you told us about this
on this podcast. I'm trying toremember, Oh, oh, did I
talk about that that the I probablyshouldn't say the name of the restaurant,
but she didn't. She changed herposition based on the fact that the owner

(16:42):
came over and spoke to us,and yeah, now she's a big fan.
She's trying to promote. While wewere there, while we were experiencing
it, she was not She waspointing out all the flaws of the place.
And then as we were leaving,the owner said hello, oh,
and she became a fan of thatguy because he's a young person trying to

(17:03):
make it in Columbia today, tryingto make Columbia a better place. He's
definitely trying. This guy is workinghard, there's no doubt about it.
And so now she wants to supporthim, so he's give him the five
star reviews. She's telling her friendshe overlooked her small inconveniences and they I
thought they were not even valid inconveniences. But I'm a guy like girls would

(17:26):
notice those. Look, my wifeis one of the most particular people when
it comes to restaurants and things ofthat nature. She will point out things
that I would never even imagine,like I I you know, ice,
man, they went with that kindof ice? Seriously, all right,

(17:49):
you think that's five star ice?And like she wants to buy and maybe
that'll be like my next gift forher is like these like she sees these
little things in like we go tolike some country. When I say country,
we don't go to the country.We go to tony little towns that

(18:10):
are out in the middle of nowhere, right somewhere in the mountains. Yeah,
this one happened to be I'm tryingto remember. We were in somewhere
in Georgia and it was some tony, little high end shopping town. The
whole town seems like it was createdas a shopping experience. And so you're
in this little town and it iscute and it looks like something out of

(18:32):
a Hallmark Christmas moviere and in thestore and I talked her out of buying
it there. Thank god. Itwas like thirty five dollars for an ice
what would you call it? Youpour the water in it and then you
put it in the freezer. Ohyeah, an ice. It's not an
ice maker, it's a whatever youcall that thing. You know, you

(18:52):
buy them for like two dollars atTarget. Right, this was like thirty
five dollars because it had a uniqueshape and you could have your initials in
the ice. Oh that's cool.So it would say, like you know,
you can have it monogrammed. Youcould have you know, you could
maybe write a name like nash Onice, and then every little piece of

(19:15):
ice that goes into your soda orwhatever got my name on it. That's
worth nothing to me, thirty fivedollars. It's not even worth thirty five
cents to me. But she feltlike this would be so cool if we
got this or whatever. So Idon't know if she's been she'd forgotten about,
but whatever. She's very particular whenit comes to silver Like when that

(19:37):
one restaurant that we're talking about,she felt like the weight of the silverware
was insignificant, like this is oh, this is not solid. I don't
feel good about it. You don'tfeel good about it. I mean,
it's just gonna put it in yourmouth like I mean, you can do
with your fingers. What difference doesit make? No, no, no,

(19:57):
no, no, we're class We'regonna have heavy weight silverware. Right,
So that's that's the way. Butshe did change her opinions based on
they but it's all stuff like that. I mean, the ice didn't have
the restaurant name in it. Imean, yeah, colleagues, yeah,
I think the ice was too smallfor her liking. It was more cubed,

(20:18):
you know, like maybe out oflike a soda machine type of ice
cube, which is all. That'sso, what are we in a Wendy's
What are we doing here? Let'sclass it up, guys, get your
custom ice machine out. That's good. So we'll talk about the four star
review. Hey, hope you don'tgo blind today. What's going on in
your neighborhood? That's a good wish. This is why the dogs don't look
up. You watch your dog duringthe eclipse. He's not gonna look up.
