Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hello, Killy Nash, it washappening. It's tomorrow show today, tomorrowill
be hump Day already. That isawesome news. I love these short weeks.
I love the week after the shortIt goes back where I think,
shouldn't wes work four days a week? See how much better you feel already.
I don't know that I would feelany better if it was like a
regular thing. But it does feeltotally, like you said, like a

(00:21):
Monday. Why I know, Ibusted my butt on Friday, and so
did you get everything ready so wedidn't have to come into work yesterday?
Yeah? That does suck. Thefriday sucks. Friday was a long day
for us. I think a lotof people though, if you have like
a regular job, like our salespeople, they all rolled out of here at

(00:41):
noon. Yeah. No, Iwas the last person to leave friddy.
Yeah. So they don't get anyextra work, No, they just get
less work, right, I likeless work. I don't know, I'm
probably the minority there, but lesswork sounds nice. Same pay. Don't
take any money from me, justlet me work. What is it?
Thirty two hours? As what Isessioned for? Thirty two hour work week

(01:03):
sounds better than a forty hour workweek. Yeah, just maybe check in
for thirty two hours electronically while I'mon the electronic dog leash. All right,
So let's talk about what we're goingto talk about tomorrow morning on the
Morning Rush. Well, I don'tknow if we're going to talk about the
Mike Tyson thing, but that's crazy. What happened. Mike Tyson, fifty
seven years old, uh, apparentlyneeded medical attention crossing the country this week

(01:27):
on a flight. They said ithad something to do with an ulcer flaring
up. I don't know how bad. I've never had an ulcer. You
ever had one? No, itmust be horrific. I mean, Mike
Tyson is known as one of thestrongest, toughest dudes who's ever walked the
earth, and they almost had toput the plane down in order to,
like but they thought would save hislife. So that can't be helping ticket

(01:52):
sales for the fight coming down toJuly, where the guy can't fly across
the country. He's gonna be takingon a guy who's like literally half his
eight in a fistfight. J lois in talks for a ninety million ninety
show Las Vegas residency, but theysay that she may be losing that after

(02:12):
the ben Affleck marriage seems to becrumbling, which seems to be hurting ticket
sales, which seems to be hurtingalbum sales. J Lo, they say,
is trending downwards right now, andreally, yeah, everything seems to
be going south for j Lo.Can you imagine getting paid a million dollars

(02:34):
for like one show and then knowingyou're getting lined up for ninety of them?
How many tickets do they have tosell to make it worth their while?
I don't look. Math and reasoncease to exist once you get to
Vegas. They said, this isa fifty two hundred seat theater, so
if it's a and they're they're talkingabout the fact that at the T Mobile

(02:57):
Arena on July twentieth, she's gota concert coming up July twentieth, that
she's not sold out the nineteen thousandseat Timobilerina yet, even with tickets as
low as sixty five dollars each.I don't know. See, I'm not
a businessman and I'm not a concertpromoter, but I think that you're looking
at two different audiences. If you'relooking at the big concert venue, that's

(03:19):
probably more of the locals. Surewhere if you're coming out to Las Vegas,
this is tourism money. Yeah,these are people who don't live in
Las Vegas. It's going to comesee spend way too much money that comes
have an intimate evening with Jay Louw. That's right, But I can't imagine
wanting that Jennifer Lopez is. Ihate to say this because this well,

(03:40):
I don't know. There's probably nota lot of Taylor Swift fans left in
our audience either, But she's likethe Taylor Swift of pop music. Taylor
Swift does not have a good voice, not and I get that she sings
in tune. She does sing intune, she does not have what's considered
to be a good voice. JenniferLopez rarely sings in tune and also has

(04:01):
a bad singing voice. So andthat's that's not a just like a flat
My only opinion, that's like professionalassessments. Right. Of the two,
they would not win. They wouldnot be the top ten of American idols.
Vegas stetting off for you a milliona night unless they're going to make
money off of that. I thinkare people scheduling trips to Vegas to go

(04:26):
see her. Mmm mm hmmm,otherwise they wouldn't book her. That's true,
but it's got to be a vestal. Vegas certainly knows numbers, statistics,
research analysis. It's interesting how muchlike uh I even hear on political
talk shows. Of course you hearit on sports talk shows, but they'll

(04:46):
talk about what Vegas odds are oncertain things. And they and you know,
like you always pointed out, inVegas, you can bet on anything.
Who's the next president going to be? True's you know, the chances
of this that or the other thinghappening. They'll bet on anything. Nobody
is gonna stumble. Dos he stumbledon his left foot or his right foot
first? And they'll have some odds, absolutely, and those odds don't go

(05:10):
out until somebody has spent an extraordinaryamount of time, somebody with a very
high IQ has studied this and saidthe probability is leaning towards this or that,
And once they place the odds,they're gonna make money. Vegas does
not come away losing. And they'renot gonna place a bet on Jennifer Lopez

(05:30):
for ninety million dollars unless they knowshe's gonna do one hundred and fifty million
dollars. Never take it said,while Wayne Newton was hired for decades.
My god, Wayne Newton. Whowould pay to go see Wayne Newton?
I know a lot of people.I cannot believe the amount of ticket sales
that Wayne Newton has done and thelife that that guy. If you just

(05:53):
google like Wayne Newton's house, itis unbelievable. By the way, complete
site. Now we're way off herein Vegas. Ye, I saw a
video on Instagram. I think Instagramhas recognized in my scrolling that I enjoy
stupid videos. Okay, so thoseare the ones I get mostly if I

(06:16):
go into the search thing. Theyshowed me one the other day that I
can't stop thinking about. It hadto have been late sixties. Liberachi is
doing a show in Vegas. He'sat a piano, but before he goes
to the piano, he's singing asong. He's doing that that song I

(06:36):
can't remember the name of it,but it's like, come on, get
groovy. Remember that song from thesixties. Hey bump bump bump, bump,
bump bump, bum bum bump,bump bump bump bump. Yeah,
that'sovy. Yeah, And so he'swearing a yellow like vinyl plastic vest with

(07:00):
like a flowered shirt and flowered pantsand he's there with like ten backup singers
who are none of them are overtwenty five. And they've changed the lyrics
to that song, so his nameis involved in it. He's like Liberachi
is plugging in or whatever. It'sjust like, hey, you young kids,

(07:23):
what's happened? And it is horrific. And I mean he's like sixty
two years old. He's in thislike flower garb gear and he's doing a
piano art power and I'm feeling groovy. But somebody in Vegas Crunch the Numbers

(07:46):
said you can't do your typical pianostuff anymore. Was his real name,
Frank, like Frank Liberaci or somethinglike that. Frank, you got to
get off of that. You gotto get in, you gotta get plugged
in with the young hip crowd.And it was horrible. But sometimes even
the experts are wrong. I guessother things that we could tell. You

(08:07):
know, weight loss drugs are likethe thing now, and according to a
survey, it's like three percent ofAmericans are taking injectables now for weight loss
it's amazing the number of people thatare doing this. I shouldn't just say
for weight loss, because at leasthalf of those people are apparently doing it

(08:28):
in association with type two diabetes,so it serves like a dual purpose.
Oftentimes, if you have type twodiabetes, which is you can't control your
blood sugar, oftentimes it is weightrelated, although there are some people who

(08:50):
never really got too fat, butthey're just having problems with their body not
producing the insulin but actually processing theInsulince there's insulin in there, there's a
lot of blood sugar in there,and if you let that blood sugar roll
uncontrolled, then it starts affecting thesmaller vessels in your body, so your
eyesight can be negatively affected. Youhear about them losing feet and other things,

(09:16):
because I saw the list of sideeffects and ramifications is similarly endless.
So these what's the most famous one? No zempic just because they got the
best jingle. But what's the otherone? Why Govia or something like that.
So we got about three percent ofAmericans or prescribe this. I don't
know how what percentage of those peopleare doing it just for weightless because even

(09:39):
weight watchers. Now you can getthis drug this injectable. I saw that.
Yeah, so I guess they're prettymuch the same. Basically, it
makes you feel like you're full,or helps you make you feel like you're
full, so you eat less.And when you're eating less, then you
have less blood sugar, which helpswith type two diabetes obviously, but also

(10:00):
helps you lose weight if that wasa problem for you. According to this
new report from Blue Cross and BlueShield, you're supposed to stay on that
drug for a minimum of twelve weeks. Now, according to this the average
cost the average monthly price to anAmerican. Now I don't know if this

(10:22):
is with insurance or not with insurance, but out of pocket cost is listed
at one thousand dollars a month.Wow, So basically you're supposed to go
three thousand dollars into this thing togo for the minimum of the twelve weeks.
They're saying that what we're having isa huge problem with people coming off
early, and when you come offearly, apparently several things happened to you.

(10:48):
And I'm just reading this here foran addition, if you're taking it
for type two diabetes, Okay,So if you come off before twelve weeks,
your full appetite will probably return withina week, increasing your caloric intake,
leading to a significant weight regain.In addition, if you're taking it
for type two diabetes, your bloodsugar levels spike, which actually worsened the
effects of the type two diabetes beforeyou went on it, which can then

(11:11):
lead to ie, heart and nervedisease. So don't come off of it
within the first twelve weeks, sayfor the full cycle. But you know,
they're saying that a lot of thesepeople who are paying one thousand dollars
a month, they're like, afterfour weeks, they've lost all the weight
they wanted to lose. I neededto lose twenty five pounds. I lost

(11:31):
the twenty five pounds. Why shouldI then pay another two thousand dollars for
something I don't even want. Sothey're saying there's a we have a huge
problem apparently beginning in America with peoplecoming off of the drug early, basically
to save money. They show thatsome people pay as little as sixty dollars
a month with it, and thatit's like ninety eight percent of those people

(11:52):
stay on for the full twelve weeks. It's the ones that are paying one
thousand dollars a month or more arelike to get off of this. I
was having this conversation over the weekendwith someone who's up pretty big wig in
healthcare in the state of South Carolina, and I laughingly remembered and said,
remember when cher said if a greatbody, if a great looking body came

(12:16):
in in a bottle, everybody,everybody would have one. I don't remember.
I can't remember the exact quote.If a great body came and came
in a pill, everybody would buya bottle or whatever it was. What
we find we're there now because peoplelose so much weight on a zimpig you

(12:37):
they literally had a shortage of it. And I've forgotten the other one,
mon Gerro. I thought that wascalled what Govia. I can't remember.
I know that in the jingle itthey sing about the little pill with a
big but with a big story totell. Oh that's not the little blue
pill with the big story. No, that's a different, big story.
It's a different one. Lot ofstories to be told in the drug community.

(13:03):
But people are taking it. Andyou're right. If I were taken,
I hit my goal. I gookay, I'm off and save two
thousand dollars, and certainly save twothousand dollars. But I don't want to
continue to lose weight because now I'vealready I've already gotten to where I want
to be. I don't want toend up, you know, looking frail.
Well, and that they do talkabout people with what they call ozembic

(13:24):
face. Yes, so it's notexactly the way share would have hoped.
That you can get a great body, right, you can just lose a
lot of weight, right. Ithink that for people who are losing substantial
amounts of weight, they need toremember to eat a fair amount of protein

(13:45):
and do some sort of weight work, meaning even if it's just body weight,
just do push ups and pull upsand those types of things. Get
some toning going on there. Yes, because bills some muscles ors off of
you. Sure, it's easy tothink, well, I'm just getting slim,
and then all of a sudden you'relike, oh my goshleton to get

(14:05):
that scanned up? Tighten up towhat do you take for that tighten up?
Don't they? I don't know,I'm learning something. Yeah, I
believe that's the I believe that's thecase, all right, well, I
appreciate these snap back. No,unfortunately not. Okay, we have a
new study here. According to Sardeswho did this report, I'm looking at

(14:31):
this Library of nl M database andI don't know who the National Library of
Medicine, but they're not telling mewho these people are. Like where I
see the names of the authors likeRichie Lane, Ritchie Scott Shelby cayleab Nope,
but I don't know what what universitythey're associated with. But anyway,

(14:52):
we have this thing in the NationalLibrary of Medicine, and according to them,
basically, your vibe is correct ifyour vibe was once a cheater,
always a cheater. Serial infidelity acrosssubsequent relationships is what they were studying.

(15:13):
And it turns out that if somebodydoes cheat, that it's overwhelmingly likely that
they are going to continue cheating withfuture spouses. That's the humanistic bend.
Yeah, unless they get delivered fromit. Okay, how can a beat
and do that from the spouse.That is one way she could just knock

(15:37):
it out of you. That thatcould beat it out of you. But
maybe you know, this is agreat opportunity for people to stand up for
those people who aren't serial cheaters.Look, I made a mistake. I
was crazy, Get over it.They do say that that it was a
one time thing. Yeah, Ijust got little nuts now that one time

(15:58):
may have lasted like a decade.Yeah, but it was only one person.
I didn't cheat on you with multiplepeople. Oh, this is a
quick sand conversation. But like,so, let's just apply this to some
couple that we all know, allright, The King of England. The
King of England, was knowingly cheatingon his wife, Princess Diana. Yes,

(16:21):
with the woman he's now married to. The argument had always been made.
Obviously, Camilla was not prettier thanDiana, she was not as young,
she was not as attractive, shedidn't have the grace or elegance of
Diana. She had none of it. But princess, the heart wants what

(16:41):
the heart wants, And they saidthat Prince at the time, Prince Charles
now King Charles, loved Camilla.He just never wanted to be married to
his Princess Diana, and that waskind of who they were pushing him towards.
So he ends up with Camilla orwith a Princess Diana, and then
he cheats multiple times with Camilla,eventually divorces Diana, there's a big scandal,

(17:07):
and he's now married to Camilla.Do we think that he continued cheating
because he's a cheater or was ithe was just cheating with the one with
the one true love? Is thateven cheating that there was never even a
tabloid story written about him cheating onCamilla, That's what I'm saying, So
it doesn't have to be once acheater, always a cheater. It was

(17:29):
his true love. He kept saying, that's my true love. How many
people have cheated like with a marriedperson, but that once that married person
recognized you as the true love,that married person divorced their spouse and then
they were faithful to you forever.That's a great question. Or is it

(17:52):
more likely they're going to keep onlooking for the true love. The true
love doesn't seem to last forever withthem. It is possible, What would
you say the percentage of that ismaybe five percent of the people. I'd
have to consult one of the Vegasodds and probability experts we talked about earlier.
You haven't done the deep Perhaps maybethat could be a homework assignment and

(18:17):
you'll come back tomorrow with all kindsof data and stats on China. Think
just but anecdotally, just people letI know that had affairs, who got
married, had affairs with that outnumber of the people I knew that had
affairs. Wow, I think anecdotally. I may be condemned here. No,

(18:40):
yeah, no, I don't becondemned, well, not me personally.
M interesting, but I don't thinkanybody wants to be known as a
cheater. That word just really rubsmost people the wrong way. Even when
you say, but how many celebratedcheaters did we have in American history and

(19:00):
any genre? Was Prince Charles celebratedas the cheater? No? He was
kind of repulsed because the people Ialways do laugh, especially women, take
this attitude that the woman you're cheatingwith is not even as I'll use the
word hot, but they don't usuallyuse that phrase as pretty or as classy

(19:23):
or as put together. The womanyou're cheating with isn't even whatever that measurement
is as your current wife. AndI you know, I don't think that
that has anything to do with it. No, And they can't understand that.
Yeah, now, the ones yousaw talk that way because I'm thinking
about a guy right now. AndSally pointed out and the woman he cheated

(19:45):
with was like a stripper, AndI'm like, okay, yeah, but
he was married to like this reallyclassy, elegant, beautif fat woman.
She could have been a stripper ifshe had chose to, but then instead
chose to be a veterinarian. Andand why would you throw that away for

(20:08):
this illiterate stripper? And I thinkI literally said, with a straight face,
you're You're right. I can't thinkof a reason, not one should
haven't committed, not one reason,not one. I have no idea.
I'm thinking of their lifestyles and howdifferent they were. Was there a benefit

(20:30):
to one or the other? Ican't think of one. Well, you're
right, okay, what are weordering for dinner? Just try to get
out of that one. You don'tget to be Jonathan russellout learning how to
side stuff a few running minds.We're going to a sneezy fit. Oh
my allergies are flowing up over here. Anyway, what are you having for

(20:55):
dinner? Get out of it aboart apart? Okay, what's happened in
your neighborhood? We should be talkingabout you. Ever had that conversation out?
