Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hello, killing Ash, it istomorrow show today. Yeah, mana Mars
Thursday. Already. I've already lookedat the extended forecast. The Southeast Barbecue
Showdown's got some good weather for Alabama'sDay Saturday night. Right now. They
got a deal going off. Youbuy your tickets for Saturday and get Friday
tickets free. I am supposed tostain my deck tomorrow. Okay. Now

(00:21):
I've been looking at the forecast,and so I've noticed it looks really good
through like Tuesday or Wednesday next week. Yeah, because you need like two
or three days of no rain,that's right. And so I am nervous
because Monday had no rain forecast andthen we got about two inches. Yeah,
it'll ruin it. And it justpopped up out of you know,

(00:43):
some somewhere high pressure system met alow pressure system. They didn't predict it.
No, that's what the weather peopledid. They tracked the pressure systems.
Yeah, I know. But normallywhen they're like when they're looking at
at a model, they can see, oh, well look there's this storm's
already started off the coast of Africaand it's coming our way. Are this

(01:03):
thing is coming down from Indiana towardsus or whatever. But that was just
one that I think started somewhere likeover Atlanta or something like that was like
it just started in Atlanta and gotpretty powerful. A low pressure system popped
up and bang we got like wegot killed on Monday with rain. By
the way, I we'll talk aboutthis tomorrow, but the world is getting

(01:23):
upset. Joey Chestnut said he wasgutted to find out. That's an interesting
phraseology. I was gutted to findout I won't be part of the Nathan's
hot Dog Guinea competition. I gottatell you, I'm going to miss him
because I wanted to see Joey Well. I feel like Joey. We're gutted
that Joey is made the option.If you haven't read yesterday, the announcement
came down that Joey's out at theNathan's hot Dog because he has not They

(01:47):
didn't ban him because he signed acontract with a vegan hot dog company.
They even allowed him to talk aboutit in the press coming up to the
event. He got a two hundredthousand dollars contract to promote a vegan hot
dog. But they they drew theline at the Nathan's famous hot Dog contest

(02:08):
that's a rival company. Nathan's doesthe real hot dogs. With this,
Joey wanted to eat the vegan hotdogs instead of the Nathan's hot dog.
Nathan hot Dog spends millions on thiscontest every year. To promote they show
up at a Coca Cola party witha pepsi in your hands. Exactly.
I mean, I don't understand why, joe Are you gutted by it?

(02:30):
Brother Joey should have just yeah,exactly. And so you know what I
imagine he'll do, which will bestupid, but I imagine he'll do it,
is he will have his own hotdog eating competition at the almost the
exact same time, and he willshow you that he would have won again
eating his vegan hot dogs. Youknow what I'm saying. Like that,

(02:53):
it'll be like on a YouTube streamor something like that. But in reality,
he could have done some great TVcommercials about something about look, yeah,
I ate sixty five Nathan's hot dogsin two minutes or whatever the competition
is. But I didn't really enjoyany of it. I would have loved

(03:14):
to have eaten a hundred of thesedelectable pieces of crap because I hate Vgan
hot dogs. But anyway, hedidn't and now he's out and now he's
going to lose. I would imaginea lot of sponsorship money, would think,
and it's just like, where's thisall to make it better? Because
he always beat the competition so overwhelmingly, Maybe make the competition even better.

(03:36):
So like watching a horse race whenyou know, when you know one of
the horses is going to win bysix links, I mean, you know
what I mean, I understand thatconcept. You know, you look at
like the NFL, or a betterexampleould be the NBA. So the NBA
for years complained that the Chicago Bullswon every year, and then they were

(03:57):
trying to figure out a way toget what they called parody so that any
team could win and doesn't even haveto be a major market team. It
could just be like Memphis is goingto be the National champions or whatever,
and they got a lot of parodynow and Americans seem to hate it.
They want a superhero. Americans likeit when you know this is that's the

(04:20):
man. But he can't be theman unless he's won two or three championships
in a row. And here's somethingelse, about sports you probably won't talk
about, but I was reading moreabout it today. What if Charlotte loses
the Panthers? Is that a possibility? Yeah? When did that come into
play? I guess today or yesterday, because I was going to say what's
today Wednesday. On Monday, LTxannounced that they had just signed a big

(04:45):
million dollar deal with the Charlotte Panthers, so they don't watching and no story.
Maybe the City of Columbua, Cityof Charlotte came to the table with
I think they wanted six hundred andfifty million dollars for stadium upgrades. Everybody
wants money, you know. It'sfunny. That's one of those things that
started probably thirty five, forty,maybe even fifty years ago, where cities
were conned into investing in sports arenasunder the guys that well, you know,

(05:14):
look it's gonna help drive revenues.It's been demonstrated probably a thousand times
since then. You never get thatmoney back, so now you're just investing
that money because the original concept was, well, look you invest in Madison
Square Garden, more business happens aroundMadison Square Garden and those people will pay
tax dollars increase tax dollars because there'sbeen a pizza plays, the sports clothing

(05:39):
place that blah blah blah. Theyall spend, they all make more money,
they give more money in taxes.Never works out, so you always
lose money on that deal. Thenit was like, but what about the
civic pride? Then you got thefeel good story of your local hometown whatever
team. Yeah. If you lookat the promotional video that the Panthers put
up as they're playing this thing exactactlee correctly, because you're talking about this

(06:01):
is our home, you know,so it's all about the Panthers. But
then it quickly expands out on thepromotional piece include concerts and stuff like that.
Yeah, we do all that outsidevenue areas with the green spaces and
the city a unique collection of vendorsand restaurants, and I mean it's really
cool. The video is really cool. Yeah, we did all that for

(06:23):
you. And what is it likein reality? Don't know, probably not
that you can't even put a priceon that. Actually we can six hundred
and fifty million dollars, one hundredand fifty million. That's the price you
willing to pay it, you know. And I feel like the government officials
are over a barrel because but theyare over a barrel because they own the

(06:45):
lamb. I guess who wants tostadium temper. So if they say no,
then Temper just lets it sit vacant, just building. Yeah, but
no, what I'm saying is ifthey say no, there is a huge
outcry of people who are like,are you flipping kidney me? You're letting
the Panthers go. They're going toplay in Tulsa or wherever the hell the

(07:06):
Panthers would go Jacksonville. Now,Jacksonville already got a team wherever they're gonna
go away. We're going to losethem. And then but if you keep
them, you just screwed your cityout of six hundred and fifty million,
well probably six hundred million. You'llget fifty million back, probably, So
you're gonna lose six hundred million dollars. And now you're just doing that to

(07:29):
basically buy votes. That's all you'redoing. It's the feel good story.
We fought hard to keep your localhometown team here. Yeah, that's the
I guess that's the only good thingabout being a college sports town. It's
not like the University of South Carolinacould say we're gonna move to Greenville,
right, Plus, we never haveto worry about debating on who's going to

(07:49):
pay for the stadium taxpayers? Areyou already know that one? Oh yeah,
that's not going to be an owner'sobligation. A renovation was making a
bigger door for that cash, atruck that chuck full with cash to back
up to and dump it. Thebite in the basement there and that well,
that's got to go out now tothe baseball coach, new baseball doubled

(08:11):
his salary. That's nice. Getyourself a new golf coach, a new
softball coach, picking up all kindsof coaches. Yesterday we just we did.
We spend all kinds of money.Ray Tanner must be tired of signing
checks by now. I gotta bebro okay, all right, So top
slang words, Jonathan, first halfof twenty twenty four, we got your

(08:33):
new top slang words out. Ican't even say the top slang word from
last year. It's illegal, eventhough I think on a podcast to say
that word. But anyway, herewe got words like fail marriage. That's
a word now, one word failmarriage. This is a marriage between a
couple or two people that everybody knowsisn't free fall. They hate each other,

(08:56):
they have nothing in common, butusing to stay together. They're in
a failm marriage. Uh. Glazingglazing This refers to over hyping something.
Oh, you're totally glazing, bro, Like I glaze for JT's kia.

(09:20):
I get chilling. Your mind reallydidn't blow up in that last course.
Chill with the glazing, gotcha?Uh? Pooky this is a return pooky
has been offered probably a decade ormore, but pooky back to being a
term of endearment. This is somethingyou would call maybe a loved one,
a girl or you know, ifyou're you're my pooky, you're my pook.

(09:43):
And finally, yap, Now thisis really Is this even a word?
I've been using The word yap soundsracist? Does it? Y Yep

(10:05):

used it in reference to dogs.Oh, maybe you got some hot dam
maybe you got some hot new wordsthat we're not even aware of, that
your kids are somebody? Or perhapswhat was the word I created the other
day by by happens you're doing oneabout eye strain? Or I you did

(10:28):
someone that your eyes morning? Yeah, stim stimuli stimuli. You get eye
strain from looking at your phone toomuch. That's over stimulated and creates a
stimuli. I can this young mantell his sister to stop flirting with my

(10:50):
friends? I don't want you datingany of my they're my friends, they're
not your friends. Yeah, we'renot gonna have you dating inside the friends
circle. You all my friends inthe friend zone. My friends are in
your friend's zone. You cannot comeon and everybody knows a guy put in
the friend zone by a girl that'sa rap. Yep, you're in the

(11:11):
friend zone. But how do youbring that up to her? How do
you say? Look, we're bothin our twenties. It's not like you're
a high school kid anymore. You'regoing to make it awkward and you're not
going to date Bob whatever his nameis. What if you date you know,
and then it falls apart? Butwhat if you get married. Wouldn't

(11:33):
that be great for you if Imarried your best friend? And see,
that's interesting. It would be goodfor me to know because I trust Bob
like Bob, and Bob's a goodguy. Or maybe Bob's not a good
guy. Bob's a great friend.All my friends are great guys, except
with women. I know how theytalk about you behind your backs. Yeah,

(11:56):
you don't know Bob. Trust me, you don't know him. You
think you know him, but youdon't. I like it. And then
John k awkward. You brought upa topic that I think is very poignant
this time of the year. Asa matter of fact, yesterday I mentioned
I took a nap. That's probablymy first nap of twenty twenty four on
a weekday. I try to geta nap every other day and I missed

(12:16):
mine yesterday. I was doing anap. I couldn't get a nap.
Well. I got home probably aroundthree thirty ish, and as I was
going to sleep, the leaf blowerwas going next door, and I was
like, did they just wait forme to go to sleep? It seems
thirty on a Tuesday. Yeah,that's it perfectly acceptable. I know,

(12:41):
I know, you gotta have noisemakers, But like, for my wife,
what is the time on a Saturdaymorning you can start now? That's a
good question, and that leads tothe conversation I have with Chad, one
of the guys that worked at Public's. He's a huge Morning Russia regular,
loves country music. This guy's beento more concerts as concert promoters. Huh.
Anyway, he apparently was cutting grassthe other night and wrapped it up.

(13:05):
He said at about ten minutes beforenine. Oh that's too late,
bro. Well that's what he heardfrom the neighbor as soon as he shut
his lawnmower off the gall on theother side of the fences, yelling thank
God, trying to get some sleepover here. Yeah, and that to
Chad's point, the days are longer, So when is the cutoff time for

(13:26):
lawnmower? I would say seven fortyfive, not quite eight, because eight
o'clock is the kid's bedtimes. Alot of kids have been I was last
Saturday morning. I'm like, ooh, this would be perfect time. It's
cool outside. I need to getout right now, and I want to
do some trimming, and I'm plantingsome flowers in the front, and i
want to do some weed eating inthe front. I thought, maybe this

(13:50):
is too early weed eating? Whattime? Seven thirty? Can I how
good? How loud is your weedeating? That's a two so engine,
it's not it, it's not electric. So I'm gonna hear that you're gonna
seven forty five the things too early. It's too early, brother. I
feel like on the weekends people deserveat least eight thirty. I tell you

(14:13):
you got to get down on Saturday, and I don't have a problem you
get doing it anytime on Saturday.You crank up a lawnmow on a Sunday,
I almost just want to drive byin brookham Well. I mean to
the point of the days are longer. I mean I can get sunshine,
you know, six am on aSaturday, and it's still going to be
somewhat cool. It's still going tobe like six, you know, seventy
two, seventy three or grad.I wake it at four or five o'clock

(14:37):
on Saturday anyway. So if you'rein the neighborhood and you hear you're out
to get Sally's coffee, as youare prone to do, because we know
she's still gently resting. Oh yeah, she's resting. If she if the
next door neighbor starts cranking it upat six forty five, that's what I'm
saying. You got to you gottalet them sleep till at least eight on

(15:00):
a Saturday, at least. Thisis new. This is one of the
new pitches for the new electric lawnmowersand weeds. If you heard the commercial
where the guy the wife comes outof that, I've been looking for you.
Where have you been been out herecutting the grass? Oh? They're
silent. I don't know forty fiveminutes. Oh, I haven't heard a
thing. They're silent. It's likein the movies when they fire a weapon,

(15:24):
but they got the silencer on it, and all it does is goes.
It's like a puff of air.That's not how silencers really work in
the real world. I would beshocked if you can get a lawnmower to
be just humming along like an electriccar and there's just no sounds. David
had electric lawnmower in Florida now inFlorida, typically well in Florida, in

(15:45):
his neighborhood. Your backyard is whatI'm gonna guess, sixty feet by sixty
feet Okay, your front yard sixtyby thirty so electric lawnmower. Fine,
now his new play. Oh it'sgot a lot of property. Yeah yeah,
I mean it would take three daysof charging. What town is he

(16:06):
in? He's in Arcadia, Springsof horse Takers. Okay, yeah,
so now he's got to go buya gas power the Lawnmoar. You'd have
to stop every hour and recharge thatthing. So electric not really ready for
the South yet you fire that thingup? What are the gas powered more

(16:27):
trimmer blower rules on Saturdays or anymore? Or yah in weeknights anytime?
Can you can you be you know? I mean, like to your friend's
point eight forty still got some sunlight. Sure, and it's definitely getting cooler.
That's right, perfect time. So, but I think that the children,

(16:48):
a lot of kids go to beda day killing Nash is the only
person I know it gets good tobed at eight thirty at nine yeah,
the only adult. Yeah, Imean I don't get a good a bit
until like ten thirty or eleven.But what if you've got a six year
old is in your neighborhood? Whyshould they suckerl Sarah seven o'clock, she's
out now she also has a noisemaker, a box fan, and something

(17:08):
else. So we keep her onthe cone of stuff. Stuff always stuff
happening around. So I look Ito me, I would say seven forty
five is cut off. On thePM weeknights. You can go a little
later. I think on the ifyou've got a Friday night or a Saturday
night thing going on. But asfar as morning eight am earliest, what

(17:37):
are you saying? We'll talk aboutthat tomorrow. Hey, what's going on
in your neighborhood? Got lawnmars,we got parties going on? What about
the party noise b I'll get intothat too, possibly after we first write
the rules for lawnmow and gas trimmers, so we can bring some peace to
your neighborhood. We're said about therules, and we create a fly god
dog, you put it, youcan nail it to your neighbor's wall.

(17:59):
Like Martin Luther and Martin Luther aretwenty twenty four with the morning rush thesils.
