Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Keilly Nash, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It is tomorrow show Today Tomorrow, thank god, is Friday.
We're one day away from our big European football two
days away. Tomorrow will be one day away from the
big European Football Expo. Is this an expo or is
this part of their scheduled competitions.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
This is what they call a friendly. You and I
would call it a pre game or a preseason match.
So the Red Rivals Tour, I think it hit Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia,
and was scheduled to go to Charlotte. That's where everybody
expected it to go. And then we the folks at
(00:46):
the University of South Carolina somehow got involved and got
the attention of the people who make those decisions and
said it'd be much bigger in Columbia than in Charlotte.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
We stole it from Charlotte.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
We did steal it from Charlotte. And so this is
an an opportunity for us to be on the international stage.
I see we have three different versions of ESPN covering it.
They're going to send down like twenty different crews. This
is the biggest sporting event in Colombia, probably in I
don't know many many years. I'm sure it'll be broadcast
(01:18):
live in Europe, will be criss crossing the globe, and
Liverpool is one of the biggest clubs, but nothing compared
to Manchester United. Manchester United is an matter of fact,
I don't know if it's still true, but maybe ten
years ago I saw a thing where they were the
biggest brand in sports. So Manchester United was number one,
(01:41):
Yankees were number two. The I remember right, it was
the Los Angeles Lakers were three. Four was the Dallas Cowboys,
and then they went back to Europe. For the rest
of the top ten were all European soccer clubs. But
Manchester United is I mean, when you hear Yankees, you're like,
everybody knows where the Yankees are. Sure, that's true, most
(02:04):
of the world does. But all of the world knows
who Manchester United is. They're going to be playing here.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
And this is going to be an international event here
in Columbia because I think if I remember correctly, there's
like forty percent of the tickets came from outside Southeastern states,
really outside of South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
Forty percent of the tickets came further than the Southeastern States.
(02:28):
It's he purchased further away.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
There and I am going, and I certainly way overpaid
for my tickets. I'm not denying that. But I also
find it unusual that somebody would come this far to
see it, because again, it's a it's a friendly, it's
a preseason match. The season kicks off, I think in
a week or two. That's when they actually begin real competition.
(02:54):
So what we're going to see Saturday is going to
be a lot of scrubs, a lot of people trying
to make a team. I don't imagine most of the
stars will play. If they do play, it'll be very
I would assume limited and maybe even going half speed,
Like they don't want to get hurt before the season,
and so this is an opportunity for them to try
to introduce their sport to another country. Basically the last holdout.
(03:18):
We are the last holdout on the metric system and soccer.
We're not going metric and I don't think we're going
to go soccer. Despite I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Popularity of soccer is through the roof of all of
our youth sport programs.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
That when I was a kid in high school, it
was unbelievably popular. And I remember playing soccer in the
early seventies when Pele was coming to play for the
New York Cosmos and they were telling us, then this
is and this is going to be the biggest sport
in America in your lifetime. And I got in, I
(03:52):
got on board. Yeah, Pele would sell out Giant Stadium.
They had more ticket sales to go see the New
York Cosmos than they and then to go see the
New York Giants.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I could not pick him out of a lineup, but
I knew his name when I was a kid.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And every year we keep saying, this is the year
that soccer is going to catch on in America. It's
never caught on because it's basically basketball with a lot
less scoring. You've run it up and down.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Was watching it last night. I'm like and I realized
she was watching the highlights. I'm like, Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
And again, I guess if you're gonna get into soccer,
you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Get league gets up on some Sunday mornings at like
three o'clock in the morning, the White Soccer.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well that's what I was gonna say. If you're going
to be a soccer fan. You're probably not gonna be
a DC United. I guess maybe some people will be
Miami fans now because they've got the best soccer player
in the world playing for them. But basically, you're if
you're if you're interested in the high level, highest form
of competition, you're going to be a European soccer fan.
(04:56):
So you got like the Premier League, which is pretty much,
if I'm not mistaken, like all British teams, right Arsenal
and Newcastle and Southampton and those types of clubs, or
you know, then you go down to Spain, you got
like Barcelona, you got those big clubs over there. You've
got Portugal's got some big teams, and then you go
down to Brazil. That's where Messi's from. So yeah, there,
(05:20):
it's all over there. It's not here. We don't have them.
So it's like if you're a baseball fan living in Germany,
you're watching American baseball.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
You know. And now I think about it, I know
that Lee plays on like a young adult baseball team.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
He does just you know, I didn't know that he
was still doing anything.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I thought he was just golfing community things. But to
be as huge a soccer fan as he is. I've
never heard him talk about being part of a soccer club.
He didn't play, he's ever played it.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I look, I did like playing it, but I think
like I also liked playing baseball. I don't really watch
a lot of baseball right now, kind of just kind
of it's one of those baseball huh. He watches a
lot of baseball. I mean, I guess maybe when I
was young. Obviously, when I was younger, I did, and
I knew all the players. Probably through my early thirties.
(06:23):
I kept up with it a lot, almost an unhealthy
obsession with baseball for a lot of years. But I
don't know, it'll be interesting to see. I know soccer
is trying to brand itself in America. They really would
love to have this market, and.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
The NFL is doing the same thing in Europe.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
That's exactly the point I was going to make, is
you see, there's even rumors that the Jacksonville Jaguars are
going to move to London, and I guess, you know,
geographically it's not harder for the New York Giants to
fly to Jacksonville or London. It's going to be a
four or five hour flight either way, so perhaps they
(07:01):
can expand the brand. But if I'm in, if I'm
a British kid, I would not be an American football
fan saying this is what we grew up with.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
The NFL, with its gross profits is second only to
soccer and in particular Manchester United.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
When you say gross profits, I don't know what is
the most profitable league, profitable sports league. I'm wondering if
they're gonna come up with like Formula one driving or
something like that, profitable sports leagues. That's an interesting question.
The NFL makes a ton of gotta be list of
professional sports leagues by revenue, and I'm wondering, is this
(07:41):
going to include so.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I love this. We're learning together, right.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Yeah, boy, it's all America. America crushes it when it
comes to profitability. NFL number one, and what was the
revenue Now, I don't know what that means because they're
giving me pounds, they're giving me dollars. I don't know
what that but it's so it just says eighteen point
(08:07):
zero two seven. I don't know is that eighteen billion dollars?
I don't know what they're talking about. Number two in
the world is Major League baseball. Wow, number three.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
If the eight team was the highest, what's the Major
League Baseball? All right?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
So the number eighteen is the number they put next
to the NFL eleven from MLB, NBA at nine point nine,
Premier League six point four, NHL six point zho, So
are you telling me that the National Hockey League is
almost as profitable as the Premier League. That's unbelievable. No
(08:42):
wonder no one of the premier leagues trying to get
into this American market. We spend a crapload of money,
we do when it comes to sports. And then as
you go down after the NHL, it's something called Campanado
nacionald Lenina Premier Division La Lijia that's in Spain. And
then all so, I don't even know where this is
a German soccer, Then probably I don't know where the
(09:06):
hell this is from Italy soccer, French soccer, then the
US and Canada combined Major League soccer, Brazil soccer, Japanese soccer, Oh,
I'm sorry, Japanese baseball. We're back to baseball, with the
twelfth most profitable league being the Japanese Baseball League. And
then finally you get your Indian Premier League cricket. Not
(09:32):
the soccer in India, it's all about the cricket.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
There was a group here locally playing cricket. I remember
reading about them in the paper and I thought I'd
like to go see them, just play a game. I'm
trying to ever seen like photos of cricket. I don't
think i've ever seen a video. I never looked it
up on YouTube. I don't care about cricket, but I
need to learn about it.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I have a very very limited understanding of cricket. My
understanding of it is basically, there's a stick in the ground.
There's a what they call a bowler. He's not a pitcher.
He's a bowler, but he's like what we would call
a pitcher. He has to bounce the ball once and
(10:12):
then the batter has to swing at it if he
thinks it's going to hit the stick. If it bounces
and hits the stick.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
He's out got it.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
But because they've got a bat that's like a two
by four, it's not very hard to hit it, yes,
and so they end up with these incredible amount of runs,
like it's like two eighty to two seventy or something
like that. So they're scoring all the time, so you
just got to hit it. And then I guess they
probably run to like the other stick that I see
(10:45):
out there, and I guess that's a run okay, But
there's like a bunch of outfielders trying to feeld it.
If they catch it in the air, you're out or
something like that. I don't really, but I know Mick
Jagger loves it. And Mick Jagger is like one time
talking about how he spent three days. Think about this, Jonathan,
imagine going to a baseball game. We talk about the
pace of play in four hours. I even got four hours.
(11:07):
Mick Jagger said he spent three days at a cricket match,
one on one match, three days, when he said, one
of the best three days of his life. And Mick
Jagger's had some damn good days, I bet, But for
him to say that's one of the best three days experience.
Who's got three days to go watch anything? I guess
(11:28):
if Mick Jagger, you got a lot of money, you
don't have to go back to work. I'm calling him sick.
That's great, but uh yeah, a lot of sport. But anyway, Yeah,
it'll be a big weekend here in Columbia, it's gonna
be huge. And you know, but like what I was
talking about it being a friendly or a preseason match, Like,
would I travel, as a huge Yankees fan to a
(11:49):
preseason match in Barcelona to see the Yankees or the
New York Giants or one of my New York teams,
the Knickerbockers are playing some other teens.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
You can't match the enthusiasm these people bring to the
sport of soccer. It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
But well, what I'm saying is, like I'm a passionate
sports fan of American sports, and I'm a New York
based sports fan. Sure I would not go see a
preseason game between the Yankees and the Astros in London
or Paris, knowing that it's going to cost me all
that money, knowing that it doesn't even count on their record,
knowing that they're not even going to be putting out
(12:27):
their best effort. I would rather save my money and
go to an opening day even if I'm maybe I'd
go to Houston to if the Yankees were playing Houston
on the opening day, I might, Okay, I'll go see that,
especially than go to Barcelona.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Especially as you pointed out, some of the better players
aren't even going to be on the field.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah, they'll probably be on a bench. Look them up,
wave at you.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yes, it's going to be a huge event in Columbia.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I'm excited for it. I'm hesitant, our nervous. Maybe I
saw a fifty chance of showers and.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I just I mean, do they play soccer in the rain? Oh?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
They play, But Angela Nash doesn't sit in the rain.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
No. No, Now, Sally wouldn't sit in the rain.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
So I'm hoping that any showers that come Saturday or
quickly dissipated and are gone by like four or five
in the afternoon.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Please, don't you get like fift tickets.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
About right about right? So I don't need to blow
that money to be told, you know what, after dinner
it doesn't look that good. Maybe I had.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Kelly betcha. Kelly called me at a quarter of the six. Hey,
Angela went home. You want to come to the game.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
You want to join me?
Speaker 2 (13:43):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Good, I don't want to sit in the rain storm
once the game. I don't even understand.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
No, I had my little backpack jet pack. I might
fly down there and meet you, but I'm not going
to truck go sit in traffic.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Oh, you see, the paper is just loaded with all
kinds of traffic issues. You know it's the paper's got
a story. Here is a I'm just entitling the story
Would you Eat It? Would you Eat it? That sounds
like a hot new game Would You Eat It? And
what they're talking about is it Lake Murray. And apparently
this happens every year. I didn't know about this. You're
(14:16):
going to get thousands of striped bass are gonna die
in the next few weeks.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I didn't realize this happened every year.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
And according to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources,
this is a common occurrence which happens as the lakes
temperatures get warmer and warmer and warmer every summer. The
bass go lower and lower and lower, and then they
get to a level where the oxygen in the water
is a lot less than it would be near the top.
And then with more fish swimming at that level, the
(14:46):
oxygen gets even less and less, and then they die.
And so we're going to start seeing all these fish
popping up on the lake. And they don't want you
to be scared of it or anything, but I find
it ironic or interesting that when I'll just read this
line here. DNR says that any living fish that are
(15:09):
caught are safe to eat despite the massive die off,
and encourages the anglers to keep fishing. Do not throw
any of the fish back now because they're probably gonna die. However,
they had no comment regarding the safety of eating fish
that had already died. Meaning if you see one float
to the top of the water, yeah, that looks like
(15:32):
he's a fresh dead one, to scoop it right up,
and they say, I'll you have this for dinner.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Somebody would eat that?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
That's what I'm asking you. Would you eat Apparently that's
a common thing. He over on Lake Murray, people are
eating the fish that float to the top. Would you
eat it?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I don't guess. If I was in my boat and
the fish, I don't know, because in the current and
he just he's been dead for three days in the current,
he came to the top. I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Why would you eat that?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Would do? I keep a flat point shovel in my
trunk so I can scoop up an armadill a a grill. No, No,
I do not.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Even if I saw the armorhidle again Yet Andy Woods
does Andy Woods, you'll eat a roadkill possum. He's but
he's real Southern. He's from Mississippi.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I have hit a deer. Remember the story I hit
the deer. And this was when way back in the
day you had to pull over and use a payphone.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
So I pulled over at a gas station. There was
no payphone. There's a dude sitting in his truck waiting
on his buddy to do something. I said, man was
looking for a payphone. I just hit a deer. He said,
we're I said, about a half mile back. It's right
in the middle of the road. Somebody needs to know up.
And he just cranked up his truck and took off
and he was saying, thanks bro. He didn't say dibbs, No,
(16:51):
he just went to get it. I'm like, okay, well
it's fresh. He knows it's fresh. I just hit it.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Oh yeah, there's nothing eating nothing yet.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Still struggling to breathe when he gets.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
There, vultures have not even gathered yet.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
So on a fresh roadkill if it's a deer, okay.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
You say, okay, you wouldn't need it, though, I'm not eating. Finally, Jonathan,
we've got a morning rush irregular. He's in a bit
of a quandary now. His wife is on him to
do certain chores. We like to call that the honeydee list.
You know, every weekend you got to do some of
the honeydew lists. You gotta do whatever it is, clean
(17:30):
the gutters or sure, whatever it is that she wants
done around the house. Now, he apparently already had an
argument with her because she was talking about she's overwhelmed
maintaining the home as is and wanted to hire a maid.
He said, no, sir. Well, now he's thinking, what if
(17:55):
I was to hire somebody to do my honeyde list?
Uhh am I okay, am I giving her grounds for divorce?
What am I doing here?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You can just double the budget because you're getting a
maid after that. That's happening at least two days a week.
But he says, she doesn't work. I go to work
all week. I know, it seems like it could be
a rational conversation. All I'm saying is maybe I'm wrong, ladies,
(18:28):
maybe this is a rational conversation. I'm just saying, when
a woman wants I'm gonna say this out loud. When
she wants something, she's already told you she wants it.
She wants a maid. There is no rational conversation. It's
just you're going to do it.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
I don't really have a big pushback on that way.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Oh you're done, You're cooked.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
So you're saying, what would you what would your advice
be to him double the budget or just figure out
a way to do the honeydeal list on your own.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
There are a couple of things I hired done. Anything
with gas, natural gas. I don't mess with natural absolutely,
I hire that done.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Sure, you don't want to kill everybody.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
If it's two twenty an electricity of it's twenty, I
hire that. If it's one ten, I'll.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Do it two twenty. You don't mess with.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
To twenty, I kill you. So now one ten is
just fun. You know. I'll even switch out a light
switch without killing the breaker.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Just I want to get a new hairdoo just because
it's fun.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
If you touch it wrong, it's like a game. Oh
I grab that one.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
It's like, what was that game?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
That's way?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Operation is a kid? Yeah, yeah, let me give you
a little shock.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I bet I can change this out without jumping. Oh,
I just cap me. But two twenty no doors. I'm
not good and making sure the door is exactly square.
I don't. I don't do that so well.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
I understand in all of those things. He I mean,
I don't know that anything.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Else I'm doing, that's you plumbing all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
He's not a good painter. He's not a good any
of these things, he says.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I work hard. I'm going making my way. I just
talked about something. We have heard of women who know
their husbands can do it themselves, but they insist that
you hire somebody because they want you to go do
something that they want you to do with them.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
They wanted was a commercial we used to run.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
They want you to go to the soccer game, or
the game cock game, or the little league game, or
you know, you're going to go to the fresh market
with him whatever. They want you to hire that downe
so you can spend quality time with them. This is
this is okay, this is interesting now I like it.
All right, Okay, well we'll.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Get an answer from you tomorrow. Is he in? Is
he in grave danger?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
All right? All right? Let me check. Oh I got
to check my phone. Oh here is I gotta check text?
I think I got it. I'm hoping that. No, I
haven't heard a boat from him. Oh yes, okay, good, Yes,
we have an interview we're gonna go do for our
(21:13):
other show.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Okay, good, let's get it going. We'll see y'all on
the radio.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Pay what's going on in your neighborhood? I got sidetracked
there because I thought maybe I missed the message. I
missed the internet, I mean interview opportunity. But we had nine. Okay, good,
We're all good for ten thirty. It is ten o'clock

Speaker 2 (21:48):
And if you're listening in Europe this morning, getting ready
to fly in for the big Mansion. The numerals are
at area code eight oh three nine seven eight two
six seven
Hello, Keilly Nash, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It is tomorrow show Today Tomorrow, thank god, is Friday.
We're one day away from our big European football two
days away. Tomorrow will be one day away from the
big European Football Expo. Is this an expo or is
this part of their scheduled competitions.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
This is what they call a friendly. You and I
would call it a pre game or a preseason match.
So the Red Rivals Tour, I think it hit Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia,
and was scheduled to go to Charlotte. That's where everybody
expected it to go. And then we the folks at
(00:46):
the University of South Carolina somehow got involved and got
the attention of the people who make those decisions and
said it'd be much bigger in Columbia than in Charlotte.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
We stole it from Charlotte.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
We did steal it from Charlotte. And so this is
an an opportunity for us to be on the international stage.
I see we have three different versions of ESPN covering it.
They're going to send down like twenty different crews. This
is the biggest sporting event in Colombia, probably in I
don't know many many years. I'm sure it'll be broadcast
(01:18):
live in Europe, will be criss crossing the globe, and
Liverpool is one of the biggest clubs, but nothing compared
to Manchester United. Manchester United is an matter of fact,
I don't know if it's still true, but maybe ten
years ago I saw a thing where they were the
biggest brand in sports. So Manchester United was number one,
(01:41):
Yankees were number two. The I remember right, it was
the Los Angeles Lakers were three. Four was the Dallas Cowboys,
and then they went back to Europe. For the rest
of the top ten were all European soccer clubs. But
Manchester United is I mean, when you hear Yankees, you're like,
everybody knows where the Yankees are. Sure, that's true, most
(02:04):
of the world does. But all of the world knows
who Manchester United is. They're going to be playing here.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
And this is going to be an international event here
in Columbia because I think if I remember correctly, there's
like forty percent of the tickets came from outside Southeastern states,
really outside of South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
Forty percent of the tickets came further than the Southeastern States.
(02:28):
It's he purchased further away.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
There and I am going, and I certainly way overpaid
for my tickets. I'm not denying that. But I also
find it unusual that somebody would come this far to
see it, because again, it's a it's a friendly, it's
a preseason match. The season kicks off, I think in
a week or two. That's when they actually begin real competition.
(02:54):
So what we're going to see Saturday is going to
be a lot of scrubs, a lot of people trying
to make a team. I don't imagine most of the
stars will play. If they do play, it'll be very
I would assume limited and maybe even going half speed,
Like they don't want to get hurt before the season,
and so this is an opportunity for them to try
to introduce their sport to another country. Basically the last holdout.
(03:18):
We are the last holdout on the metric system and soccer.
We're not going metric and I don't think we're going
to go soccer. Despite I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Popularity of soccer is through the roof of all of
our youth sport programs.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
That when I was a kid in high school, it
was unbelievably popular. And I remember playing soccer in the
early seventies when Pele was coming to play for the
New York Cosmos and they were telling us, then this
is and this is going to be the biggest sport
in America in your lifetime. And I got in, I
(03:52):
got on board. Yeah, Pele would sell out Giant Stadium.
They had more ticket sales to go see the New
York Cosmos than they and then to go see the
New York Giants.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I could not pick him out of a lineup, but
I knew his name when I was a kid.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And every year we keep saying, this is the year
that soccer is going to catch on in America. It's
never caught on because it's basically basketball with a lot
less scoring. You've run it up and down.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Was watching it last night. I'm like and I realized
she was watching the highlights. I'm like, Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
And again, I guess if you're gonna get into soccer,
you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Get league gets up on some Sunday mornings at like
three o'clock in the morning, the White Soccer.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well that's what I was gonna say. If you're going
to be a soccer fan. You're probably not gonna be
a DC United. I guess maybe some people will be
Miami fans now because they've got the best soccer player
in the world playing for them. But basically, you're if
you're if you're interested in the high level, highest form
of competition, you're going to be a European soccer fan.
(04:56):
So you got like the Premier League, which is pretty much,
if I'm not mistaken, like all British teams, right Arsenal
and Newcastle and Southampton and those types of clubs, or
you know, then you go down to Spain, you got
like Barcelona, you got those big clubs over there. You've
got Portugal's got some big teams, and then you go
down to Brazil. That's where Messi's from. So yeah, there,
(05:20):
it's all over there. It's not here. We don't have them.
So it's like if you're a baseball fan living in Germany,
you're watching American baseball.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
You know. And now I think about it, I know
that Lee plays on like a young adult baseball team.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
He does just you know, I didn't know that he
was still doing anything.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I thought he was just golfing community things. But to
be as huge a soccer fan as he is. I've
never heard him talk about being part of a soccer club.
He didn't play, he's ever played it.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I look, I did like playing it, but I think
like I also liked playing baseball. I don't really watch
a lot of baseball right now, kind of just kind
of it's one of those baseball huh. He watches a
lot of baseball. I mean, I guess maybe when I
was young. Obviously, when I was younger, I did, and
I knew all the players. Probably through my early thirties.
(06:23):
I kept up with it a lot, almost an unhealthy
obsession with baseball for a lot of years. But I
don't know, it'll be interesting to see. I know soccer
is trying to brand itself in America. They really would
love to have this market, and.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
The NFL is doing the same thing in Europe.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
That's exactly the point I was going to make, is
you see, there's even rumors that the Jacksonville Jaguars are
going to move to London, and I guess, you know,
geographically it's not harder for the New York Giants to
fly to Jacksonville or London. It's going to be a
four or five hour flight either way, so perhaps they
(07:01):
can expand the brand. But if I'm in, if I'm
a British kid, I would not be an American football
fan saying this is what we grew up with.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
The NFL, with its gross profits is second only to
soccer and in particular Manchester United.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
When you say gross profits, I don't know what is
the most profitable league, profitable sports league. I'm wondering if
they're gonna come up with like Formula one driving or
something like that, profitable sports leagues. That's an interesting question.
The NFL makes a ton of gotta be list of
professional sports leagues by revenue, and I'm wondering, is this
(07:41):
going to include so.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I love this. We're learning together, right.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Yeah, boy, it's all America. America crushes it when it
comes to profitability. NFL number one, and what was the
revenue Now, I don't know what that means because they're
giving me pounds, they're giving me dollars. I don't know
what that but it's so it just says eighteen point
(08:07):
zero two seven. I don't know is that eighteen billion dollars?
I don't know what they're talking about. Number two in
the world is Major League baseball. Wow, number three.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
If the eight team was the highest, what's the Major
League Baseball? All right?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
So the number eighteen is the number they put next
to the NFL eleven from MLB, NBA at nine point nine,
Premier League six point four, NHL six point zho, So
are you telling me that the National Hockey League is
almost as profitable as the Premier League. That's unbelievable. No
(08:42):
wonder no one of the premier leagues trying to get
into this American market. We spend a crapload of money,
we do when it comes to sports. And then as
you go down after the NHL, it's something called Campanado
nacionald Lenina Premier Division La Lijia that's in Spain. And
then all so, I don't even know where this is
a German soccer, Then probably I don't know where the
(09:06):
hell this is from Italy soccer, French soccer, then the
US and Canada combined Major League soccer, Brazil soccer, Japanese soccer, Oh,
I'm sorry, Japanese baseball. We're back to baseball, with the
twelfth most profitable league being the Japanese Baseball League. And
then finally you get your Indian Premier League cricket. Not
(09:32):
the soccer in India, it's all about the cricket.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
There was a group here locally playing cricket. I remember
reading about them in the paper and I thought I'd
like to go see them, just play a game. I'm
trying to ever seen like photos of cricket. I don't
think i've ever seen a video. I never looked it
up on YouTube. I don't care about cricket, but I
need to learn about it.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I have a very very limited understanding of cricket. My
understanding of it is basically, there's a stick in the ground.
There's a what they call a bowler. He's not a pitcher.
He's a bowler, but he's like what we would call
a pitcher. He has to bounce the ball once and
(10:12):
then the batter has to swing at it if he
thinks it's going to hit the stick. If it bounces
and hits the stick.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
He's out got it.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
But because they've got a bat that's like a two
by four, it's not very hard to hit it, yes,
and so they end up with these incredible amount of runs,
like it's like two eighty to two seventy or something
like that. So they're scoring all the time, so you
just got to hit it. And then I guess they
probably run to like the other stick that I see
(10:45):
out there, and I guess that's a run okay, But
there's like a bunch of outfielders trying to feeld it.
If they catch it in the air, you're out or
something like that. I don't really, but I know Mick
Jagger loves it. And Mick Jagger is like one time
talking about how he spent three days. Think about this, Jonathan,
imagine going to a baseball game. We talk about the
pace of play in four hours. I even got four hours.
(11:07):
Mick Jagger said he spent three days at a cricket match,
one on one match, three days, when he said, one
of the best three days of his life. And Mick
Jagger's had some damn good days, I bet, But for
him to say that's one of the best three days experience.
Who's got three days to go watch anything? I guess
(11:28):
if Mick Jagger, you got a lot of money, you
don't have to go back to work. I'm calling him sick.
That's great, but uh yeah, a lot of sport. But anyway, Yeah,
it'll be a big weekend here in Columbia, it's gonna
be huge. And you know, but like what I was
talking about it being a friendly or a preseason match, Like,
would I travel, as a huge Yankees fan to a
(11:49):
preseason match in Barcelona to see the Yankees or the
New York Giants or one of my New York teams,
the Knickerbockers are playing some other teens.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
You can't match the enthusiasm these people bring to the
sport of soccer. It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
But well, what I'm saying is, like I'm a passionate
sports fan of American sports, and I'm a New York
based sports fan. Sure I would not go see a
preseason game between the Yankees and the Astros in London
or Paris, knowing that it's going to cost me all
that money, knowing that it doesn't even count on their record,
knowing that they're not even going to be putting out
(12:27):
their best effort. I would rather save my money and
go to an opening day even if I'm maybe I'd
go to Houston to if the Yankees were playing Houston
on the opening day, I might, Okay, I'll go see that,
especially than go to Barcelona.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Especially as you pointed out, some of the better players
aren't even going to be on the field.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah, they'll probably be on a bench. Look them up,
wave at you.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yes, it's going to be a huge event in Columbia.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I'm excited for it. I'm hesitant, our nervous. Maybe I
saw a fifty chance of showers and.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I just I mean, do they play soccer in the rain? Oh?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
They play, But Angela Nash doesn't sit in the rain.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
No. No, Now, Sally wouldn't sit in the rain.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
So I'm hoping that any showers that come Saturday or
quickly dissipated and are gone by like four or five
in the afternoon.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Please, don't you get like fift tickets.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
About right about right? So I don't need to blow
that money to be told, you know what, after dinner
it doesn't look that good. Maybe I had.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Kelly betcha. Kelly called me at a quarter of the six. Hey,
Angela went home. You want to come to the game.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
You want to join me?
Speaker 2 (13:43):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Good, I don't want to sit in the rain storm
once the game. I don't even understand.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
No, I had my little backpack jet pack. I might
fly down there and meet you, but I'm not going
to truck go sit in traffic.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Oh, you see, the paper is just loaded with all
kinds of traffic issues. You know it's the paper's got
a story. Here is a I'm just entitling the story
Would you Eat It? Would you Eat it? That sounds
like a hot new game Would You Eat It? And
what they're talking about is it Lake Murray. And apparently
this happens every year. I didn't know about this. You're
(14:16):
going to get thousands of striped bass are gonna die
in the next few weeks.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I didn't realize this happened every year.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
And according to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources,
this is a common occurrence which happens as the lakes
temperatures get warmer and warmer and warmer every summer. The
bass go lower and lower and lower, and then they
get to a level where the oxygen in the water
is a lot less than it would be near the top.
And then with more fish swimming at that level, the
(14:46):
oxygen gets even less and less, and then they die.
And so we're going to start seeing all these fish
popping up on the lake. And they don't want you
to be scared of it or anything, but I find
it ironic or interesting that when I'll just read this
line here. DNR says that any living fish that are
(15:09):
caught are safe to eat despite the massive die off,
and encourages the anglers to keep fishing. Do not throw
any of the fish back now because they're probably gonna die. However,
they had no comment regarding the safety of eating fish
that had already died. Meaning if you see one float
to the top of the water, yeah, that looks like
(15:32):
he's a fresh dead one, to scoop it right up,
and they say, I'll you have this for dinner.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Somebody would eat that?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
That's what I'm asking you. Would you eat Apparently that's
a common thing. He over on Lake Murray, people are
eating the fish that float to the top. Would you
eat it?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I don't guess. If I was in my boat and
the fish, I don't know, because in the current and
he just he's been dead for three days in the current,
he came to the top. I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Why would you eat that?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Would do? I keep a flat point shovel in my
trunk so I can scoop up an armadill a a grill. No, No,
I do not.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Even if I saw the armorhidle again Yet Andy Woods
does Andy Woods, you'll eat a roadkill possum. He's but
he's real Southern. He's from Mississippi.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I have hit a deer. Remember the story I hit
the deer. And this was when way back in the
day you had to pull over and use a payphone.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
So I pulled over at a gas station. There was
no payphone. There's a dude sitting in his truck waiting
on his buddy to do something. I said, man was
looking for a payphone. I just hit a deer. He said,
we're I said, about a half mile back. It's right
in the middle of the road. Somebody needs to know up.
And he just cranked up his truck and took off
and he was saying, thanks bro. He didn't say dibbs, No,
(16:51):
he just went to get it. I'm like, okay, well
it's fresh. He knows it's fresh. I just hit it.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Oh yeah, there's nothing eating nothing yet.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Still struggling to breathe when he gets.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
There, vultures have not even gathered yet.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
So on a fresh roadkill if it's a deer, okay.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
You say, okay, you wouldn't need it, though, I'm not eating. Finally, Jonathan,
we've got a morning rush irregular. He's in a bit
of a quandary now. His wife is on him to
do certain chores. We like to call that the honeydee list.
You know, every weekend you got to do some of
the honeydew lists. You gotta do whatever it is, clean
(17:30):
the gutters or sure, whatever it is that she wants
done around the house. Now, he apparently already had an
argument with her because she was talking about she's overwhelmed
maintaining the home as is and wanted to hire a maid.
He said, no, sir. Well, now he's thinking, what if
(17:55):
I was to hire somebody to do my honeyde list?
Uhh am I okay, am I giving her grounds for divorce?
What am I doing here?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You can just double the budget because you're getting a
maid after that. That's happening at least two days a week.
But he says, she doesn't work. I go to work
all week. I know, it seems like it could be
a rational conversation. All I'm saying is maybe I'm wrong, ladies,
(18:28):
maybe this is a rational conversation. I'm just saying, when
a woman wants I'm gonna say this out loud. When
she wants something, she's already told you she wants it.
She wants a maid. There is no rational conversation. It's
just you're going to do it.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
I don't really have a big pushback on that way.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Oh you're done, You're cooked.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
So you're saying, what would you what would your advice
be to him double the budget or just figure out
a way to do the honeydeal list on your own.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
There are a couple of things I hired done. Anything
with gas, natural gas. I don't mess with natural absolutely,
I hire that done.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Sure, you don't want to kill everybody.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
If it's two twenty an electricity of it's twenty, I
hire that. If it's one ten, I'll.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Do it two twenty. You don't mess with.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
To twenty, I kill you. So now one ten is
just fun. You know. I'll even switch out a light
switch without killing the breaker.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Just I want to get a new hairdoo just because
it's fun.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
If you touch it wrong, it's like a game. Oh
I grab that one.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
It's like, what was that game?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
That's way?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Operation is a kid? Yeah, yeah, let me give you
a little shock.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I bet I can change this out without jumping. Oh,
I just cap me. But two twenty no doors. I'm
not good and making sure the door is exactly square.
I don't. I don't do that so well.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
I understand in all of those things. He I mean,
I don't know that anything.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Else I'm doing, that's you plumbing all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
He's not a good painter. He's not a good any
of these things, he says.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I work hard. I'm going making my way. I just
talked about something. We have heard of women who know
their husbands can do it themselves, but they insist that
you hire somebody because they want you to go do
something that they want you to do with them.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
They wanted was a commercial we used to run.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
They want you to go to the soccer game, or
the game cock game, or the little league game, or
you know, you're going to go to the fresh market
with him whatever. They want you to hire that downe
so you can spend quality time with them. This is
this is okay, this is interesting now I like it.
All right, Okay, well we'll.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Get an answer from you tomorrow. Is he in? Is
he in grave danger?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
All right? All right? Let me check. Oh I got
to check my phone. Oh here is I gotta check text?
I think I got it. I'm hoping that. No, I
haven't heard a boat from him. Oh yes, okay, good, Yes,
we have an interview we're gonna go do for our
(21:13):
other show.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Okay, good, let's get it going. We'll see y'all on

Speaker 2 (21:17):

missed the internet, I mean interview opportunity. But we had nine. Okay, good,
