Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Killing Nash. Hello, it is tomorrow show today, kick
off the weekend tomorrow. Getting ready for the Zips. Oh,
that's right, the akron Zips are coming to town. You know.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm really excited about it. Not necessarily seeing the akron Zips.
I don't imagine they'll put up much resistance to South Carolina.
But it's the first night game, and so you're gonna
get the full light show. And now I haven't seen
a light show since last year. And last year's light
show was better than the year previous. Yes, and the
year previous was the first year that they had the
(00:32):
red lights and all that sort of stuff. So I
don't know if they got some new stuff that they're
going to roll out on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
But I know the coach Beember, when we talked to
him earlier in the season, he wasn't aware, and he said,
nor am I involved in those conversations. He said, that's
above his pay grade.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
There's nothing above your pay grade. You have the highest
grade for pay. I don't think the light guys make
it more.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Than you are.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Does anybody make more than show? I mean, I guess
does Dawn Staley make more than him? Now, yes, she does.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
She's the highest baby I paid college coach in.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
The country women basketball coach.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I thought it said period.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
No, no, no, no, there's men making triple.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
What she's made. Well, I think that was part of
the problem.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Well, no, I think that like she when she saw
Gino Ariamo getting something like five million a year, yeah,
she was like, I need five to five or whatever
it was. But there's like men's basketball coaches that are
making like eighteen million a year.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I thought we were going to come to the table.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Well, or you'd have to just wipe out all the
other sports programs and yeah, get rid of football, baseball
and destroy all women's sports.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
All right, So tomorrow we're going to give it before
we win against the Zips, We'll give you a chance
to win early in the morning. What you're talking about
for field and stream music festival tickets.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah, what you're talking about is is the easiest game
Right now? It won't be. I think moving forward. I
think moving forward, we might give you the word. That's
the way it's working out in my head right now
is we'll give you the word on the morning. Rest
blaw in advance so you can look it up. But
I don't know that we're going to give you the answer.
(02:07):
Right now, we still give you the answer. It's the
first week of the of the contest, which we'll be
doing until further Notice what you're talking about tomorrow's word.
What we're talking about obolus, obolus and the definition of
obolius quote. Obolis is a symbol placed before a pronunciation
(02:30):
variant that occurs in educated speech. Now that in itself
doesn't mean a damn thing to anybody. You, I and
all the regular folks who don't use educated speech. We
know it as the division sign.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Oh gotcha?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Oh there's a you know X is the time sign,
the one with the line and the two dots.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
That's the obelis got it? Interesting? I like it so
educating the peoples.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
We're trying to give you fun new words to, you know,
to work out on your coworkers or whatever. Make them
think you're real smart. Like you'll be real smart, like
if you get these tickets. My gosh, Riley Green and
Skinner and Bailey zimmer Man, Laney Wilson, what Arick Church
just goes on and on out in the country there
in Winnsboro.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I can be there for Laney Wilson. But I can't
be there on Saturday late afternoon because I have a wedding.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
My gosh, man, do these people not know it's college
football season exactly what is going on around? Nobody should
get married in September, October or November. If you want
to get married during Christmas time, that that's on you.
I mean, it's early bowl season.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
But the sas don't really count, okay. And in the
nine o'clock hour, we're going to give away more Scotty
McQuary tickets and you get qualified for taking some VP
the a little batting practice out there at Sega.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
But Scottie, that's going to be a great afternoon, Jonathan. Question,
And how would you feel about burying a loved one underwater?
We now have the nations first underwater cemetery. It's called
(04:15):
the Neptune Memorial Reef off the coast of Miami Beach,
and they say that eventually it'll have two hundred and
fifty thousand people buried there.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Wow, Now I do have. I do have people's buried
underwater under Lake Murray.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
So they didn't start there, they didn't start under a lake.
They ended up under a lake that was surprise.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
With the lake levels got real low. A couple of
couple of well about a decade ago, now about ten
years ago. My dad says, you ought to think the
opportunity to go visit your camfolk.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
You get your great aunt or somebody out there. Done
here since nineteen oh eight or whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah, I mean they didn't, and there was the option
they've moved to graves when they flooded the valley as
it were, but they chose not to know.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I think it's kind of cool for a couple of reasons.
One is the idea that you're not I don't want
to say wasting the land, but cemeteries. We don't tend
to build things where cemeteries are. So once the cemetery
is there.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
And once it's a cemetery, typically yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
You're not building an office building.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I mean, even like First Baptist Church downtown, there is
if you go into the old Sanctuary and then the
old Sanctuary as you know where it stands and to
the right of that, I guess would be the first
addition to First Baptist Church of the Old Sanctuary additions,
and it's an educational building and there's a huge plaque
on the wall. It's not just a plaque, it's like
(05:53):
a granite wall, and it's got the names and the
birth and death dates of all the persons whose graves
are under that building because they had a cemetery there originally.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Yeah, it's tough to build over. I mean, clearly, nobody
from the sixteen hundreds is alive. So the fact that
we have people buried from the sixteen and seventeen hundreds,
none of their immediate kinfolk are upset by it. Right,
And yet when do you make the call to close
the cemetery, to say, you know what, it's been over
(06:29):
one hundred years. Now we can just bulldoze those headstones
and put up something that the people want. The people alive,
you know, but you can't. It's a very tough call.
So putting them out in the middle of the ocean
it serves that purpose. We're not looking to build in
the middle of the ocean. Two. Apparently it's great for
(06:52):
the ocean because you're putting up a reef and it
helps cleanse the water and those types of things. That's right,
And it makes for an interest if you want to
go visit Grandma or whoever she's in forty feet of water,
you can scuba dive. They've got tours down there, or
they even have little cool submarines. Interest you can sit
(07:14):
in your little submarine and go take a tour of
the tombstones forty feet under the water. I did go
on a little submarine once in the Virgin Islands and
it was it was kind of cool. We saw a
lot of fun like sharks and stuff. We saw all
kinds of things under there. I did that with my son.
I think it was probably around his tenth birthdays.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
And about forty feet of water. About forty feet of water,
I'm about taking an Atlantis strip. I know that there's
no chance that we're gonna pop. No, I don't want
to do.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
That, but anyway, I'm I'm cool. I'm open to that idea.
If he just wants to bury me uh in the ocean.
See where maybe other people stand on that. We've also
got Rory McElroy is a if you don't know the name,
you're forgiven. Rory McElroy is a huge golf figure. He's
(08:05):
the former number one, he's a Master's champ, He's won
I think just about every major there is, and he's
got a great name, Rory McElroy. Yeah, and he's been
golfing for gosh, I want to say since like the
late nineties, early two thousands something. It's been like twenty
years that this guy's been around as a big time
figure in the world of golf. He's currently the number
(08:26):
three player in the world and they're having a new
tournament this week at the Wentworth Club in England. I'm
sure it's very nice, the BMWPGA Championship and one of
the spiffs for some of the VIPs, the MVPs, the CEOs,
(08:46):
the the movers and shakers of England, was an opportunity
to go to the driving range where the pros are
going to be warming up before they start their round.
The guys that was invited is Tom Holland. Now you
might not know the name. You probably do though. Tom
(09:08):
Holland much more famous than Rory McElroy because he's been
Spider Man since twenty fifteen. It's been in like ten
movies now as Spider Man. A massive fan base for
this guy. But you can see the look on his face.
He's like a little kid when he sees Rory McElroy
sets up behind him to hit golf balls and he
(09:29):
turns around, so it took his breath away and he
was like oh, and he comes over. I'm sorry, mate,
I'm sorry, I'm Tom. I just wanted to say hi.
And he shook his hand and Ry's like, well, hey Tom, Tom,
nice to see you. Yeah, I hope you enjoy the day.
And then he and it's clear Rory McElroy has no
idea who this guy is and people are mocking Rory
(09:52):
McElroy for not knowing who the Spider Man is. And
then you see like the get like later on you
see in these other videos like people in the proud
or shooting spiderwebs at these things. But have you ever
met somebody that you should know who they were, or
perhaps you did know and then you forgot who they
were and you just treated them like you don't know
(10:14):
who they are, like it's a first time meeting them
or something, and it's like, well, we had lunch last year.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Together, brother, did we we? Yeah? Oh we're at the
same table.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah, I talked to you about it was a very
impactful conversation that you and I had last spring? Was
it now? So perhaps you've got some one of those
awkward moments you can share with us. And of course,
like we said, we've got the Scotti tickets. At nine ten,
we got the field and stream for the what you're
talking about at six thirty five ish.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Oh, we're double clutching it. About five o'clock kicking into
the weekend tomorrow should.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Be a good football weekend. By the way, I do
have my football picks up already on the Morning Rest
blog at ninety seven five w sos dot com. Seven
games is what you got to pick. If you can
beat me, then you are entered to win a great
prize from Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
As a follow up to yesterday's podcast, Yeah, I looked
at my schedule.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I I looked online.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Kelly actually looked first, and he was telling me that
Bill's Grill. Oh yeah, big sponsor Chesterfield, the YMCA blues
team football Chesterfield. Hang on, say that where's this place again?
Because she said it's just on the other side of
lou Goolf.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Well, yeah, called Patrick.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah, Patrick, South Carolina's just on the other side of
loe Goolf. If you're going to like Jersey, that would
be just on the other side. But if you're just
driving to Patrick, you got to go to Campden and
then go for another fifty one minutes.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yeah, that's not just past anything. Patrick seems to be
in the middle of nowhere, which is why I never
heard of it. And I knew it was going to
be a haul when I saw eight four to three
for the area code.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Wait, oh, wait a second, So I've already looked at
my schedule. I do not I'd have time to leave
in time to drive all the way to Patrick.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
You got to pack a lunch to go get lunch, Yes,
to get.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
A cheeseburger so I could drive another hour back to
Camden to be there in time for the Outlaw Championship rodeo.
Oh is that tomorrow Night's tomorrow night? Tomorrow night Saturday
night and we kick it off tomorrow night. I'm going
to be there for that.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Did they talk you into doing something crazy like sitting
on the bull or no?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I don't. The attorneys won't let me sit on the bull.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I asked him, what about Sally?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, at this point, since the kids are all growing,
she didn't care. Oh I'm well in short, so yeah,
go get on every ball you want.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
I did something ball in the mouth, if you like.
I did something with the rodeo like ten years ago,
maybe longer, because well, how long I've been here. I've
been on this radio station fourteen years, So I want
to say it was twenty eleven ish because I was
still relatively new to cos and I think that our
old boss was trying to give me country cred. So
he assigned that to me to go do this thing.
(12:59):
And I met the guy who was like the head
cowboy or something, and he was I think, like five
years younger than me. Now we're going back fourteen years ago, right,
So I'm in my forties and he's younger than me.
He looked like he was sixty. And he told me
he had broken something like eighty bones in his body. Yes,
(13:23):
I mean he couldn't walk. He kept of his face
had been broken. He broke his jaw, broke his chin,
broke it, he broke everything. And I'm like, what what
is it about the rodeo that makes you keep coming back?
After you've had compound fracture of your legs and you
broke your ankle, and you broke your every toe, and
you broke every finger, and you why do you get?
And he says, like, I can't explain, Kelly, what a
(13:46):
load of rodeo.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Mane, I have not been a part of it. I
haven't been in a rodeo arena where the horses steers
or yeah, fucking broncos, he said, bucking. I had not
since I was about eleven.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Oh, so I've been more recently than you.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, I was the potato boy.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
What does the potato boy do?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Well? They do in one of the competitions. I don't
know if they still do this or not. In one
of the competitions, the horse rider doesn't wrangle or rope.
He goes out past a gigantic barrel that's filled with potatoes. Okay,
he's got a stick with a nail in it.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Basically, oh, he's gonna stab one.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
You gotta stab a potato and bring it back, and
that's a timed event.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
You wonder how they come up with these contests.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
So apparently, unbeknownst to me, I was just a bystander
working with the boy scouts. I think probably, I don't know,
selling popcorn or something. Well, you have to replace that potato.
So everybody has the same opportunity, opportunity to spear of potato. Yes,
of course, so I'm just standing in. The guy says,
(15:04):
boy run this potato back out to that barrel. So
I have to run. And I ran as fast as
I could run and put the potato back of the
barrel and run back and to do that like ten
times m and I was the potato boy, not sins
the potato boy. Have I actually been inside a rodeo arena?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
You know you're an established I'll go ahead and use
the phrase legend in Colombia. Now, I'll just say that
because if you were not, if you were like in
year two of your radio career in Colombia and that
story came out, they would have jock shouts potato boy,
that would be your name moving forward. And I'm gonna
(15:51):
be talking with some of the announcers. The rodeo announcers
are all gonna be set up.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I'm I think I'm going to be part of that
introduction on the PA inside the arena. I don't know,
maybe potatoes the potato race is something that they did
away with years ago, and now they have all you know,
the cowgirls and the steering and the steer roping and
all that stuff going on. But I know they have
barrel races set up, but they don't use the potatoes anymore.
(16:15):
I wonder if I won't be as fast as I
was when I was eleven if you asked me to
be the potato boy.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I'm assuming this is illegal now, but about ten fifteen
years ago, I remember seeing videos from a rodeo and
then I googled it at the time and I saw
it at numerous rodeos, but I haven't seen it lately,
where that people in the crowd could enter a contest
and somehow you would stand in the ring with like
(16:44):
a bull.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Oh, they put you in the bullpit.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
No, this was like thirty people standing in the middle
of the ring and the bull is charging at you. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I think what they do now is they like when
they come to the colonial life, for you know, there's
like a pit, there's like a caged area where the
bull can't get to you because plainly you're in you're
in the middle of death Central.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Well, I think I think this contest ended with like
seven dead over like a five year period, and people
kept doing it. Like there'd be like and you're fat
and drunk, and you're a fifty year old drunk. You're
standing on the thing and you and you and like
moms and there's like you know, teenagers in this contest
and the bull is just running back and forth, and
(17:31):
it's like, whoever's the last one standing wins like a
thousand dollars or something like saying content Okay, I get
you now what I'm saying. So these people were like,
you know, you didn't want to quit because you wanted
to win a thousand dollars. Well, they have a camera guy.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
They were in the middle of the arena with the
several great camera shots, so you can get the shot
of the guy coming out of the shoot when he's
doing the bull riding. Okay, so I know that they
have an area there you can win. Sometimes you can
win it. Maybe the attorneys even said stop doing the
winners where you sitting already overpaying one camera guy to
be in the pit.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yeah, I mean, look, there's nothing safe about a bull
at any point. No, unless he's been knocked out, if
he's if if someone put some sedation in him so
he can't move.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
You've seen bulls jump over the damn corral. They only
want to be in the first three or four rows.
I don't have a room in my seat for a bowl.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
They're twice as fast as any human they're they're able to,
like you said, jump many feet higher than you can jump.
They're infinitely stronger than you, and they come with horns
like people. No.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I was watching a bull riding video on YouTube that's
been about a month ago. Now, that ball caught air.
I mean he's like jumped almost straight up in the air.
He was at least five feet in the air.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
This is a they could totally dunk. This is a
twenty five pound off. This is a ton of beef
five feet in the air. You want to mess with that?
I want no part, no part anyway.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
All right, So we're kicking off the weekend, and then
we got the South Carolina State Fair coming up. I
went to the meeting yesterday. Probably announced Kelly nashby part
of the competition, but the boiled up peanut eating competition
to kick off his very first day of the fair,
October ninth, about five o'clock. I think it's going to
be at the Academic stage, which is close to the
Pepsi pavilion.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Did you say that they've already listed the contestants for this.
I thought they had.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I think you can see it on the Blowfish webpage.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
All right, I'm going to go to the blow because
I want to know, because you're telling me the last
three champions, you're one of the champions. Leon Lott was
one of the champions, and Sheriff Coon's was one of
the champions. All three of you, the last three are
not coming in this competition retire, So whoever wins this
will be a first time winner. And I'm you know, look,
(19:52):
I've never eaten boiled peanuts. I tried them once I
don't even know how many years ago now I didn't
like the taste and I never went back. But if
you're telling me I can win a.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Prize, and you're going to be permanently enshrined at the
South Carolina State Fair because now they just unveiled a
plaque yesterday that we'll be hanging in the lobby and
it's going to have am It's got the big heading
boiled peanut eating Champions, and then it's got little golden peanuts.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
I'm not seeing it on your website. I'm so in there.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
This one.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
I'll have to do it. And the news, the only
thing that the most latest news is Bill Shanahan and
his wife Vicky got to meet Hooty and the Blowfish
that's the news. The Shaton.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
He told me that a text message he had at
this posted.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Up nominated hometown hero appeared a I was hoping that
maybe he had it in his community page. Let me
go to his like you said, Facebook page.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I know WYS was the only television station on hand yesterday,
and they put a report up last night with a
video of Rick Henry. Now, he looks like he's been practicing.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Does that mean he's been putting on weight or does
it just mean that he's eating faster?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
He just he showed up with his game face. I'll
put it that way. He was very seriously.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
You know what, I see a picture of you looking
very serious right here with your arms folded. This is
this is you meeting I guess with Bill Shanahan. I
can't really see what you're talking.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
I think Bill was talking about it. Stupid movie. I
was in the program. He likes to mock me on
that one all the time.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Well mock, probably envious. He Let's see, do they name anybody?
I don't. Let's see, let's see we've got names here.
The Blowfish had the honor, okay, thanked a bunch of volunteers.
I don't care about the volunteers. I want to know
who I'm going against making bacon.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
No, that's the schedule.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Oh wait, here we go. We got Rick Henry, we
got Joe Pollock. Yep, we got Brian McConkey, Tyler Ryan
and oh and it says and Kelly Nash to be
announced next week. Oh or okay, so act like you
didn't hear that.

Okay, they're going to add to it every week. I
guess Kelly's They're going to add to it every week.
So look for Kelly's profile.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
That was a surprise celebrity contestant. It's me versus Tyler Ryan,
Brian McConkie, Joe Pollock, and Rick Henry.

Oh yeah, there's more coming. Although you know who turned
them downs? Are old Buddy Tony Tony Cliburn. Yes, Tony

Oh my gosh, ninet two six seven tomorrow on the
Morning Rush
Hello, Killing Nash. Hello, it is tomorrow show today, kick
off the weekend tomorrow. Getting ready for the Zips. Oh,
that's right, the akron Zips are coming to town. You know.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm really excited about it. Not necessarily seeing the akron Zips.
I don't imagine they'll put up much resistance to South Carolina.
But it's the first night game, and so you're gonna
get the full light show. And now I haven't seen
a light show since last year. And last year's light
show was better than the year previous. Yes, and the
year previous was the first year that they had the
(00:32):
red lights and all that sort of stuff. So I
don't know if they got some new stuff that they're
going to roll out on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
But I know the coach Beember, when we talked to
him earlier in the season, he wasn't aware, and he said,
nor am I involved in those conversations. He said, that's
above his pay grade.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
There's nothing above your pay grade. You have the highest
grade for pay. I don't think the light guys make
it more.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Than you are.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Does anybody make more than show? I mean, I guess
does Dawn Staley make more than him? Now, yes, she does.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
She's the highest baby I paid college coach in.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
The country women basketball coach.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I thought it said period.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
No, no, no, no, there's men making triple.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
What she's made. Well, I think that was part of
the problem.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Well, no, I think that like she when she saw
Gino Ariamo getting something like five million a year, yeah,
she was like, I need five to five or whatever
it was. But there's like men's basketball coaches that are
making like eighteen million a year.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I thought we were going to come to the table.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Well, or you'd have to just wipe out all the
other sports programs and yeah, get rid of football, baseball
and destroy all women's sports.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
All right, So tomorrow we're going to give it before
we win against the Zips, We'll give you a chance
to win early in the morning. What you're talking about
for field and stream music festival tickets.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah, what you're talking about is is the easiest game
Right now? It won't be. I think moving forward. I
think moving forward, we might give you the word. That's
the way it's working out in my head right now
is we'll give you the word on the morning. Rest
blaw in advance so you can look it up. But
I don't know that we're going to give you the answer.
(02:07):
Right now, we still give you the answer. It's the
first week of the of the contest, which we'll be
doing until further Notice what you're talking about tomorrow's word.
What we're talking about obolus, obolus and the definition of
obolius quote. Obolis is a symbol placed before a pronunciation
(02:30):
variant that occurs in educated speech. Now that in itself
doesn't mean a damn thing to anybody. You, I and
all the regular folks who don't use educated speech. We
know it as the division sign.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Oh gotcha?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Oh there's a you know X is the time sign,
the one with the line and the two dots.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
That's the obelis got it? Interesting? I like it so
educating the peoples.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
We're trying to give you fun new words to, you know,
to work out on your coworkers or whatever. Make them
think you're real smart. Like you'll be real smart, like
if you get these tickets. My gosh, Riley Green and
Skinner and Bailey zimmer Man, Laney Wilson, what Arick Church
just goes on and on out in the country there
in Winnsboro.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I can be there for Laney Wilson. But I can't
be there on Saturday late afternoon because I have a wedding.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
My gosh, man, do these people not know it's college
football season exactly what is going on around? Nobody should
get married in September, October or November. If you want
to get married during Christmas time, that that's on you.
I mean, it's early bowl season.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
But the sas don't really count, okay. And in the
nine o'clock hour, we're going to give away more Scotty
McQuary tickets and you get qualified for taking some VP
the a little batting practice out there at Sega.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
But Scottie, that's going to be a great afternoon, Jonathan. Question,
And how would you feel about burying a loved one underwater?
We now have the nations first underwater cemetery. It's called
(04:15):
the Neptune Memorial Reef off the coast of Miami Beach,
and they say that eventually it'll have two hundred and
fifty thousand people buried there.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Wow, Now I do have. I do have people's buried
underwater under Lake Murray.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
So they didn't start there, they didn't start under a lake.
They ended up under a lake that was surprise.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
With the lake levels got real low. A couple of
couple of well about a decade ago, now about ten
years ago. My dad says, you ought to think the
opportunity to go visit your camfolk.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
You get your great aunt or somebody out there. Done
here since nineteen oh eight or whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah, I mean they didn't, and there was the option
they've moved to graves when they flooded the valley as
it were, but they chose not to know.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I think it's kind of cool for a couple of reasons.
One is the idea that you're not I don't want
to say wasting the land, but cemeteries. We don't tend
to build things where cemeteries are. So once the cemetery
is there.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
And once it's a cemetery, typically yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
You're not building an office building.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I mean, even like First Baptist Church downtown, there is
if you go into the old Sanctuary and then the
old Sanctuary as you know where it stands and to
the right of that, I guess would be the first
addition to First Baptist Church of the Old Sanctuary additions,
and it's an educational building and there's a huge plaque
on the wall. It's not just a plaque, it's like
(05:53):
a granite wall, and it's got the names and the
birth and death dates of all the persons whose graves
are under that building because they had a cemetery there originally.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Yeah, it's tough to build over. I mean, clearly, nobody
from the sixteen hundreds is alive. So the fact that
we have people buried from the sixteen and seventeen hundreds,
none of their immediate kinfolk are upset by it. Right,
And yet when do you make the call to close
the cemetery, to say, you know what, it's been over
(06:29):
one hundred years. Now we can just bulldoze those headstones
and put up something that the people want. The people alive,
you know, but you can't. It's a very tough call.
So putting them out in the middle of the ocean
it serves that purpose. We're not looking to build in
the middle of the ocean. Two. Apparently it's great for
(06:52):
the ocean because you're putting up a reef and it
helps cleanse the water and those types of things. That's right,
And it makes for an interest if you want to
go visit Grandma or whoever she's in forty feet of water,
you can scuba dive. They've got tours down there, or
they even have little cool submarines. Interest you can sit
(07:14):
in your little submarine and go take a tour of
the tombstones forty feet under the water. I did go
on a little submarine once in the Virgin Islands and
it was it was kind of cool. We saw a
lot of fun like sharks and stuff. We saw all
kinds of things under there. I did that with my son.
I think it was probably around his tenth birthdays.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
And about forty feet of water. About forty feet of water,
I'm about taking an Atlantis strip. I know that there's
no chance that we're gonna pop. No, I don't want
to do.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
That, but anyway, I'm I'm cool. I'm open to that idea.
If he just wants to bury me uh in the ocean.
See where maybe other people stand on that. We've also
got Rory McElroy is a if you don't know the name,
you're forgiven. Rory McElroy is a huge golf figure. He's
(08:05):
the former number one, he's a Master's champ, He's won
I think just about every major there is, and he's
got a great name, Rory McElroy. Yeah, and he's been
golfing for gosh, I want to say since like the
late nineties, early two thousands something. It's been like twenty
years that this guy's been around as a big time
figure in the world of golf. He's currently the number
(08:26):
three player in the world and they're having a new
tournament this week at the Wentworth Club in England. I'm
sure it's very nice, the BMWPGA Championship and one of
the spiffs for some of the VIPs, the MVPs, the CEOs,
(08:46):
the the movers and shakers of England, was an opportunity
to go to the driving range where the pros are
going to be warming up before they start their round.
The guys that was invited is Tom Holland. Now you
might not know the name. You probably do though. Tom
(09:08):
Holland much more famous than Rory McElroy because he's been
Spider Man since twenty fifteen. It's been in like ten
movies now as Spider Man. A massive fan base for
this guy. But you can see the look on his face.
He's like a little kid when he sees Rory McElroy
sets up behind him to hit golf balls and he
(09:29):
turns around, so it took his breath away and he
was like oh, and he comes over. I'm sorry, mate,
I'm sorry, I'm Tom. I just wanted to say hi.
And he shook his hand and Ry's like, well, hey Tom, Tom,
nice to see you. Yeah, I hope you enjoy the day.
And then he and it's clear Rory McElroy has no
idea who this guy is and people are mocking Rory
(09:52):
McElroy for not knowing who the Spider Man is. And
then you see like the get like later on you
see in these other videos like people in the proud
or shooting spiderwebs at these things. But have you ever
met somebody that you should know who they were, or
perhaps you did know and then you forgot who they
were and you just treated them like you don't know
(10:14):
who they are, like it's a first time meeting them
or something, and it's like, well, we had lunch last year.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Together, brother, did we we? Yeah? Oh we're at the
same table.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah, I talked to you about it was a very
impactful conversation that you and I had last spring? Was
it now? So perhaps you've got some one of those
awkward moments you can share with us. And of course,
like we said, we've got the Scotti tickets. At nine ten,
we got the field and stream for the what you're
talking about at six thirty five ish.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Oh, we're double clutching it. About five o'clock kicking into
the weekend tomorrow should.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Be a good football weekend. By the way, I do
have my football picks up already on the Morning Rest
blog at ninety seven five w sos dot com. Seven
games is what you got to pick. If you can
beat me, then you are entered to win a great
prize from Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
As a follow up to yesterday's podcast, Yeah, I looked
at my schedule.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I I looked online.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Kelly actually looked first, and he was telling me that
Bill's Grill. Oh yeah, big sponsor Chesterfield, the YMCA blues
team football Chesterfield. Hang on, say that where's this place again?
Because she said it's just on the other side of
lou Goolf.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Well, yeah, called Patrick.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah, Patrick, South Carolina's just on the other side of
loe Goolf. If you're going to like Jersey, that would
be just on the other side. But if you're just
driving to Patrick, you got to go to Campden and
then go for another fifty one minutes.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yeah, that's not just past anything. Patrick seems to be
in the middle of nowhere, which is why I never
heard of it. And I knew it was going to
be a haul when I saw eight four to three
for the area code.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Wait, oh, wait a second, So I've already looked at
my schedule. I do not I'd have time to leave
in time to drive all the way to Patrick.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
You got to pack a lunch to go get lunch, Yes,
to get.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
A cheeseburger so I could drive another hour back to
Camden to be there in time for the Outlaw Championship rodeo.
Oh is that tomorrow Night's tomorrow night? Tomorrow night Saturday
night and we kick it off tomorrow night. I'm going
to be there for that.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Did they talk you into doing something crazy like sitting
on the bull or no?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I don't. The attorneys won't let me sit on the bull.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I asked him, what about Sally?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, at this point, since the kids are all growing,
she didn't care. Oh I'm well in short, so yeah,
go get on every ball you want.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
I did something ball in the mouth, if you like.
I did something with the rodeo like ten years ago,
maybe longer, because well, how long I've been here. I've
been on this radio station fourteen years, So I want
to say it was twenty eleven ish because I was
still relatively new to cos and I think that our
old boss was trying to give me country cred. So
he assigned that to me to go do this thing.
(12:59):
And I met the guy who was like the head
cowboy or something, and he was I think, like five
years younger than me. Now we're going back fourteen years ago, right,
So I'm in my forties and he's younger than me.
He looked like he was sixty. And he told me
he had broken something like eighty bones in his body. Yes,
(13:23):
I mean he couldn't walk. He kept of his face
had been broken. He broke his jaw, broke his chin,
broke it, he broke everything. And I'm like, what what
is it about the rodeo that makes you keep coming back?
After you've had compound fracture of your legs and you
broke your ankle, and you broke your every toe, and
you broke every finger, and you why do you get?
And he says, like, I can't explain, Kelly, what a
(13:46):
load of rodeo.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Mane, I have not been a part of it. I
haven't been in a rodeo arena where the horses steers
or yeah, fucking broncos, he said, bucking. I had not
since I was about eleven.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Oh, so I've been more recently than you.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, I was the potato boy.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
What does the potato boy do?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Well? They do in one of the competitions. I don't
know if they still do this or not. In one
of the competitions, the horse rider doesn't wrangle or rope.
He goes out past a gigantic barrel that's filled with potatoes. Okay,
he's got a stick with a nail in it.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Basically, oh, he's gonna stab one.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
You gotta stab a potato and bring it back, and
that's a timed event.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
You wonder how they come up with these contests.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
So apparently, unbeknownst to me, I was just a bystander
working with the boy scouts. I think probably, I don't know,
selling popcorn or something. Well, you have to replace that potato.
So everybody has the same opportunity, opportunity to spear of potato. Yes,
of course, so I'm just standing in. The guy says,
(15:04):
boy run this potato back out to that barrel. So
I have to run. And I ran as fast as
I could run and put the potato back of the
barrel and run back and to do that like ten
times m and I was the potato boy, not sins
the potato boy. Have I actually been inside a rodeo arena?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
You know you're an established I'll go ahead and use
the phrase legend in Colombia. Now, I'll just say that
because if you were not, if you were like in
year two of your radio career in Colombia and that
story came out, they would have jock shouts potato boy,
that would be your name moving forward. And I'm gonna
(15:51):
be talking with some of the announcers. The rodeo announcers
are all gonna be set up.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I'm I think I'm going to be part of that
introduction on the PA inside the arena. I don't know,
maybe potatoes the potato race is something that they did
away with years ago, and now they have all you know,
the cowgirls and the steering and the steer roping and
all that stuff going on. But I know they have
barrel races set up, but they don't use the potatoes anymore.
(16:15):
I wonder if I won't be as fast as I
was when I was eleven if you asked me to
be the potato boy.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I'm assuming this is illegal now, but about ten fifteen
years ago, I remember seeing videos from a rodeo and
then I googled it at the time and I saw
it at numerous rodeos, but I haven't seen it lately,
where that people in the crowd could enter a contest
and somehow you would stand in the ring with like
(16:44):
a bull.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Oh, they put you in the bullpit.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
No, this was like thirty people standing in the middle
of the ring and the bull is charging at you. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I think what they do now is they like when
they come to the colonial life, for you know, there's
like a pit, there's like a caged area where the
bull can't get to you because plainly you're in you're
in the middle of death Central.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Well, I think I think this contest ended with like
seven dead over like a five year period, and people
kept doing it. Like there'd be like and you're fat
and drunk, and you're a fifty year old drunk. You're
standing on the thing and you and you and like
moms and there's like you know, teenagers in this contest
and the bull is just running back and forth, and
(17:31):
it's like, whoever's the last one standing wins like a
thousand dollars or something like saying content Okay, I get
you now what I'm saying. So these people were like,
you know, you didn't want to quit because you wanted
to win a thousand dollars. Well, they have a camera guy.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
They were in the middle of the arena with the
several great camera shots, so you can get the shot
of the guy coming out of the shoot when he's
doing the bull riding. Okay, so I know that they
have an area there you can win. Sometimes you can
win it. Maybe the attorneys even said stop doing the
winners where you sitting already overpaying one camera guy to
be in the pit.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yeah, I mean, look, there's nothing safe about a bull
at any point. No, unless he's been knocked out, if
he's if if someone put some sedation in him so
he can't move.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
You've seen bulls jump over the damn corral. They only
want to be in the first three or four rows.
I don't have a room in my seat for a bowl.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
They're twice as fast as any human they're they're able to,
like you said, jump many feet higher than you can jump.
They're infinitely stronger than you, and they come with horns
like people. No.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I was watching a bull riding video on YouTube that's
been about a month ago. Now, that ball caught air.
I mean he's like jumped almost straight up in the air.
He was at least five feet in the air.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
This is a they could totally dunk. This is a
twenty five pound off. This is a ton of beef
five feet in the air. You want to mess with that?
I want no part, no part anyway.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
All right, So we're kicking off the weekend, and then
we got the South Carolina State Fair coming up. I
went to the meeting yesterday. Probably announced Kelly nashby part
of the competition, but the boiled up peanut eating competition
to kick off his very first day of the fair,
October ninth, about five o'clock. I think it's going to
be at the Academic stage, which is close to the
Pepsi pavilion.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Did you say that they've already listed the contestants for this.
I thought they had.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I think you can see it on the Blowfish webpage.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
All right, I'm going to go to the blow because
I want to know, because you're telling me the last
three champions, you're one of the champions. Leon Lott was
one of the champions, and Sheriff Coon's was one of
the champions. All three of you, the last three are
not coming in this competition retire, So whoever wins this
will be a first time winner. And I'm you know, look,
(19:52):
I've never eaten boiled peanuts. I tried them once I
don't even know how many years ago now I didn't
like the taste and I never went back. But if
you're telling me I can win a.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Prize, and you're going to be permanently enshrined at the
South Carolina State Fair because now they just unveiled a
plaque yesterday that we'll be hanging in the lobby and
it's going to have am It's got the big heading
boiled peanut eating Champions, and then it's got little golden peanuts.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
I'm not seeing it on your website. I'm so in there.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
This one.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
I'll have to do it. And the news, the only
thing that the most latest news is Bill Shanahan and
his wife Vicky got to meet Hooty and the Blowfish
that's the news. The Shaton.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
He told me that a text message he had at
this posted.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Up nominated hometown hero appeared a I was hoping that
maybe he had it in his community page. Let me
go to his like you said, Facebook page.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I know WYS was the only television station on hand yesterday,
and they put a report up last night with a
video of Rick Henry. Now, he looks like he's been practicing.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Does that mean he's been putting on weight or does
it just mean that he's eating faster?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
He just he showed up with his game face. I'll
put it that way. He was very seriously.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
You know what, I see a picture of you looking
very serious right here with your arms folded. This is
this is you meeting I guess with Bill Shanahan. I
can't really see what you're talking.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
I think Bill was talking about it. Stupid movie. I
was in the program. He likes to mock me on
that one all the time.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Well mock, probably envious. He Let's see, do they name anybody?
I don't. Let's see, let's see we've got names here.
The Blowfish had the honor, okay, thanked a bunch of volunteers.
I don't care about the volunteers. I want to know
who I'm going against making bacon.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
No, that's the schedule.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Oh wait, here we go. We got Rick Henry, we
got Joe Pollock. Yep, we got Brian McConkey, Tyler Ryan
