Hello, Kelly Nash. Happy FridayEve. Yes, thank goodness. We're

popular tax free weekend? Is thisour final July Saturday night? It is?
For twenty twenty four? Go byso fast, don't they? Absolutely?
All right. So it's a rainingkind of Thursday. Hopefully it's not

(00:23):
going to rain so much over theweekend, but we do have more rain
coming in, which is a goodthing because we were in the drought.
Kelly says, We'll never have adrought after this. Don't complain about the
drought. I don't want to hearit. I mean, you know,
there was somebody was talking about,well we can use the rain. No
we can't. We got all therain, and I think we've had like
really for the most part. Imean, we've had some really downpours,

(00:44):
but for the most part, itseems like this rain that has been coming
the last few days has been whatthey call the soaking rain. Yes,
we needed those bad. Yeah.It doesn't really run off as much as
it just goes deep into the ground. South Carolina's rehydrating. I know there
had been some concerns about some ofthe crops around here, but that you
know, they said the last fewweeks of July, if you get enough

(01:06):
rain, it'll handle it. Weseem to have handled it and have a
week to go. Now Tomorrow onthe morning Rush we'll be doing to Thank
God, is Friday celebration, andI want to celebrate with Morning Musha regulars.
What's your success story? What yougot to brag about? What's going
on? You know, we getto brag about our little successes all the
time. You know, what's inthe favorite thing of the day or just

(01:29):
mentioning it off handedly. I wastalking about how excited I was that we've
finished the laundry room and we finishedthe pantry this week. So that was
my little success. What is yours? Let's celebrate. We're going to celebrate
your successes tomorrow morning, bright andearly, a little after six. Now.
I got a couple of other things. We've got. Mick Jagger turns
eighty one tomorrow. Wow, Ihad no idea. I don't know how

(01:52):
I missed this. Wow, MickJagger has got like a seven year old
son. What Yeah, I knowhe had the kid like in his late
seventies. So yeah, this ishis son. What is his name,
Debbie? Debbie is dev d vI I guess. I guess his real

(02:15):
name is Deva Row, but theycall him Debbie. And Debbie looks a
lot like Mick, except with blondehair. Has he got the moves?
Is it a dance video? No, he's just climbing up his dad's leg
in one of the things that Isaw here. But he's quite the character.
You can tell. He's one ofthose kids who's all attention on me
type of thing. So you know, how old? Like I was reading

(02:39):
about Wayne Brady was shocked when hisgirlfriend a few years ago said I'm pregnant
with your kid, and He's like, but I'm fifty, How could this
be? And sure enough DNA testsas that's his kid. How old is
the oldest father that you're aware?Like, did you personally know did somebody

(03:00):
become a dad in their fifties orsixties that you've met? That's a good
question. Other stories. I'm sadto report today that Mindy Kohane, best
known for the Facts of Life,says that they had been planning a Facts
of Life reunion show and it wasactually being done by Norman Lear. Norman

(03:22):
Lear said that I knew you guyswere popular, but when they had some
discussions with the general public, hesaid, I was blown away. I
had no idea how popular The Factsof Life was, and it was,
it was. It was a gountil she won't say which one of the
girls. One of the girls wentbehind their backs and tried to get a

(03:45):
reboot for just her and cut everybodyout. What. Yeah, and she
calls her a greedy be and shesaid that was three years ago, and
none of us have forgiven her,and we have no we have no interest
in doing a reboot with her now, and we understand that without her,
we can't have a reboot. Sothere is no reboot, hunt, no

(04:06):
reboot. We would rather kill theshow than have to work with her again.
That's how hurt we are. Wow. So they're taking money out of
their own pockets just to be spitefulbecause she tried to take money out of
their pockets revenge, you know.And that's one of those shows I liked.
I would actually probably watch that onejust to see what I mean.

(04:29):
I'm interested when I look at himnow, to see like how she looks,
how Blair looks. Nancy McKeon,who is Joe. She's turned into
quite a beautiful woman. So okay, I think we've all seen what's her
name, Tutsi, Tutti whatever,she's Kim Fields is beautiful. Anyway,

(04:50):
that's sad news to report. Perhapsyou've got a TV show you've been waiting
to reboot that we can talk aboutother things that are coming down on the
Morning Rush. This is an incredibleif it's true. If this turns out
to this true, yeah, ifthis turns out to be even close to
accurate, this could be an NBCNews segment. If this is true,

(05:13):
we're reporting it anyway. We're goingto go off. One thousand full time
US employees were asked about their plansto quit their jobs. Now, I'm
not going to go with the eyepopping twenty eight percent. Okay, we'll
just go with the very bottom ofit, which said seven percent say they
are highly likely. Now the twentyone percent say they're somewhat likely. That's

(05:39):
where they get the twenty eight percentof working full time Americans say they are
likely to quit their jobs in thenext few months up to twenty four percent.
That's what you're saying, twenty eightpercent up to twenty twenty one percent
say they're somewhat likely. Another sevenpercent say they are very highly likely to

(06:00):
it before the end of the year. Now, if we just go with
the seven percent with the end ofthe year, yeah, I looked up
the Main Jobs Report. There's onehundred and thirty three million Americans who have
full time jobs currently. Okay,so if we went with the seven percent
number, that's nine million people whosay they are very likely to quit their

(06:20):
jobs before the end of this yearor they give us any information as to
why this would happen. Forty threepercent say the jobs are too stressful.
Okay. Fifty six percent say it'snot worth it for the money. Ooh,
so we get back to the ranges. We're out pacing inflation, Kelly,

(06:42):
No, we get back to thenine million people. If nine million
people were to quit their jobs,good lord over the next five months.
I compared it to the Great Resignation, which we all remember was the entire
it actually started at the end oftwenty twenty, but all of twenty twenty
one, all of twenty twenty two, that's the Great Resignation. That's two

(07:04):
full years, some would say twoand a half years. Four and a
half million people quit, So overa two year period that's considered the great
resignation. That would be half ofwhat we would see quitting their jobs in
the next five six months. Evenif you cut it in half, right,

(07:25):
I mean, if you go fromthe seven percent, take it down
to three and a half percent,that's still what we saw happen over twenty
twenty one twenty twenty two. Andthe number one industry not surprisingly service hospitality.
So we may be you know,we were talking about tip what we
call it tip rage a few weeksago. We may be back to just

(07:47):
begging people to come to work.You know, it's amazing how many people
that And sure you talk to thesame people, lady. If they have
a small business in particular where theyhire a lot of people, where they
have people that are coming in forjobs kind of like service and hospitality,
it's impossible to find people to workeven after the salary increases. Now they're

(08:09):
back to where they were before.So they'll be like, no, this
is going to kill local businesses andWalmart. They're talking about Walmart number one.
So I mean, target all thesetypes of jobs. Nine million people
coming out of the workforce, Ifnine million of them, we have to

(08:31):
assume are mostly lower tier employees.You know what I'm saying. So I'm
not necessarily saying that they're all fulltime, hourly workers. What I'm saying
is they're full time, middle management, full time. These are not the
CEOs of the companies. These arethe people. You know what American spending

(08:54):
habits over the past couple of years. There's no reason to come to the
conclusion these people independently wealthy. Okay, so what are they going to live
off of? Apparently a lot ofpeople just don't care, just don't care.
They've come I'd rather live under abridge than work for thirty thousand dollars
a year because thirty thousand comes witha lot of stress, a lot of

(09:16):
headaches, a lot easier to justsleep in a tent, no car,
no need for any any of life'sluxuries like electricity or gas or any of
those types of things. That's onein the industry is lately that I've been
hearing about because there's a big pushto make sure we have affordable healthcare,
is that there are a lot ofhealthcare not healthcare childcare. There are a

(09:39):
lot of childcare agencies having the sameproblem. They can't find people to work.
Well, the President, Kamala Harrissays, you won't have to worry
about it government like that. Well, somebody's got to work. What are
you going to do is put themon a rotator. That's her point is
we'll just have the government handle it. So we'll put all of the private
childcares out of business and we'll justopen governm childcare centers throughout the country.

(10:01):
Well, why does it pay thatmuch more to work for the government.
Would you'd be willing to work forthe government childcare center as opposed to that
You get a tension plan eighty thousanda year to start. It's just money.
Impossible to get fired, impossible toget You can't get fired. You
could kill a You might get aday suspension if everything goes wrong. Yeah,

(10:22):
you might get suspended for a day. And you want to get suspended
anyway because you don't want to work. I needed a three day weekend anyway.
That oh my gosh, Well bythen we might be at a three
day weekend mandatory right for health mentalhealth purposes. But we need to start
hosting and we could do this becausepeople are going to get tired. I
just found out in the Luke Colmbsinterview we referenced today there's something called lean

(10:46):
pockets. I don't even know ifhot pockets made lean pot pockets. So
the lean pocket is the healthy hotpocket. That's apparently the selling angle.
Now, I've never had a hotpocket, so to say that I've never
had one, I've never had ahot pocket, Are you kidding? I've
never eaten a hot pocket. Soto say think I've ever met anybody like

(11:07):
this I didn't know about lean pocketswould not be surprising. I'm not into
the pocket. I'm not in it. I've never eaten anything out of a
pocket anyway. Wow, so weneed to start a cooking channel. Yeah,
oh, wait a minute, didlean pockets go out of business?

(11:28):
What nobody wants to buy the healthyhot pockets? That said, that's not
why they buy healthy. There's apost on sport dot com. Whatever happened
to the lean pockets? I lovethe lean pockets. They were launched in
nineteen eighty three. Jim Gaffigan didan iconic stand up bit about the lean
Pockets in the early nineties. Apparently, some folks think that Gaffigan's jokes had

(11:54):
a negative impact on the brand.I remember doing the hot pockets. This
was the diet alternative launched in theeighties to the hot pockets. They technically
did have fewer calories. On average, lean pocket was two hundred and seventy
calories. The hot pocket was threehundred and ten. And the lean pocket

(12:16):
came in most of your favorite flavors, like they had the jalapino cheese,
baked pretzel, bread, garlic chicken. They just put small, They just
put less in it. Oh,it's kind of like the new Oh,
you know what I have. It'skind of like, this is the new
pop tarts. Have you seen those? It's a smaller pop tart I have,
not dinner. It's just as expensive. But it's good. But yeah,

(12:39):
but you can. You don't feelbad about eating one or the whope,
both of them. You don't feelbad about it because it's healthier.
It's just like, why don't youjust get a regular pop tart and throw
away the last bite? Why don'tyou just do that. I'm not throwing
away a pop tart. I'm notdoing it. You're never gonna get me
to throw away a pop tart.How are we going to feed Americans?

(13:01):
Nobody knows how to cook anymore.How we're gonna feed them. We don't
have people working in the restaurants.I don't know, Jonathan, this is
this is uh, you know,this is getting very heavy suddenly for a
very lighthearted morning show podcast. Thisis the collapse of society you talked about
with shutting down restaurants here because you'regonna lose all these people working in the
restaurant already don't have restaurants opening.I just said, we have to beg

(13:24):
the people to stay again, Yes, it might be where we're headed.
And basically my question is, areyou one of the millions of Americans who
are seriously contemplating leaving your job beforethe end of the year, And again,
the majority of them do not haveother jobs lined up. It says,
no, it's gonna quit, quitjustin time for the holiday. Are

(13:46):
you going to look for another jobright Halloween? You're quitting? Why?
What Jonathan said earlier is is thequestion what are you planning to do?
I'm interested, I'm not I'm notcondemning you. I'm not looking down on
you. If the plan is tolive in a tent, I'm interested in
that. If the plan is tolaunch your own business, and you can't
do it while you're working a fulltime job. I'm interested in what is

(14:09):
that business plan. I'm not hereto condemn you or mock you belittally.
No, I'm curious. Yeah,I just want to hear what the plan
is. You got a plan tolive without working in this country? How
do you do that? Maybe thatis the plan, or maybe the plan
is like I said, I havea better idea, but I can't launch
it. I'm tired. I'm workingfifty hours a week and then I got

(14:30):
to commute two hours a day.Yeah, you know, I don't have
time. I come home, I'mexhausted. I got my kids. Or
wait, by the way, Isaw a study here. I didn't put
this on the show prep. ButI don't know how they ever come up
with these figures. Just the mentalwork of being a parent. According to

(14:52):
this report, the Skyline Skylight MentalLoad Report, if you were to pay
a parent just for the mental capacityof what they're doing, it is sixty
one thousand, seven hundred and fortydollars a year. I believe it.

(15:13):
Just to think about what you're doing. Now, they point out it's not
a full time job, so Idon't know where they came up with that
sixty one thousand dollars figure. It'sthirty point four hours per week is spent
by a typical parent, planning,coordinating family schedules, setting up household tasks,
watching the children. And this isfor kids between the ages of three

(15:35):
and seventeen. And then now,the one thing that I did find very
interesting in the takeaway. We allknow who the primary caregiver is. And
now I'm not saying it's a momor a dad, but if you're in
a relationship, you know who theprimary caregiver is of the child. Now,
when they interviewed the designated primary caregiver, they said that they felt as

(15:58):
if they carried seven seventy five percentof the load as the primary caregiver.
The interesting thing, and I'm notsaying that's not true, maybe that's about
right. The non primary caregiver saythat they can now that you know you,
you just identified yourself as the nonprimary caregiver. Right. The average
of all these people being surveyed isI contribute fifty six percent HU, which

(16:25):
would be more than half, whichhow could you be the non primary caregiver
at fifty six And they say thatadds up to one hundred and thirty one
percent. So we're we're investing.You're not only one hundred percent in,
you're one hundred and thirty one percentin. If you've got a Now,
if you've got a single parent,maybe you're only eighty percent ninety percent.
But I can tell you when wewere raising kids, I'm in at just

(16:48):
under ten percent. That's all yougave. That's all. That's all I
gave for time, justin Well,what about mental See that's the thing,
the mental workload. You were talkingabout little league coaching, You're talking about
discipline, you're talking about structure.You and your wife are having discussions you
got to raise this kid a littlebit differently than this kid because this kid

(17:11):
responds this way to that kind oftought it. I'm in those conversations.
I wasn't really engaged. Isn't thatmuch of that? Oh? It was
you and Charlie Brown's teacher coming inless than ten percent? Want, yeah,
you go ahead and do that.Then, Sally, I'm very honest
about that. But then she'd say, I didn't say I was going to
do it. You're going to doit? Oh? What am I doing
again? Right? You got totake lead at the park. How we

(17:36):
ended up leaving John at church thattime after after the service abandoned the boy.
Yeah, I got home phone ringHey yeah, yeah, it's good
to see you again too. Yeah. It was a good service. Yeah,
could we leave anything? M Idon't know if Sally's not back yet.

(17:56):
She drove separately. Oh you gotyou got John there? Oh wow,
he's got to be a little quickernext time. I'll be right back
when dad says he's leaving. Thisis not supposedly I was in charge of
bringing John home. I'm sure shesaid that. Just want want wanted,

(18:17):
yep, yep. I was inthe Charlie Brown school teacher mode. Didn't
hear that? All right? Soanyway, things are gonna get freaky at
the Paris Olympics. Apparently we talkedabout how they're trying to keep the athletes
in their rooms. Yes, thisstory right now. Video tours of the
rooms are now hitting social media.They have the anti sex beds that were

(18:37):
put into try to discourage the Olympiansfrom hooking up. However, they've also
handed out two hundred thousand male condoms, twenty thousand female condoms, and ten
thousand oral dams. So that's agrand total of two hundred and thirty thousand

(19:02):
different forms of contraceptives for the roughlyten thousand, five hundred athletes. That's
twenty plus per person. You're onlygonna be there two weeks. Kids,
tops, you're gonna need twenty ofthem. It's a problem every two gears.
My gosh, I wonder if we'veever actually had a story of a

(19:26):
child born from one of these twoincredible athletes. You would think this kid
would be going on huge star andname them like a Greek name or something
after the Olympics. Oh, thatwould have been clever. We've got to
have a kid born out of this. Wow. Okay, Hey, what's
going on in your neighborhood? You'regonna quit your job? What are you
gonna do? You got something tobrag about? Tomorrow morning. We're gonna
do that early as well. Weget into the Friday morning broadcast on the
