Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Killing Nash. Hello, it's tomorrow show today, all right,
so tomorrow will continue tracking Helene as she rolls in.
I know we get some updates on that eleven o'clock.
It is now ten o'clock on Wednesday, the twenty fifth.
We get an update again in about an hour, so
we'll be to speak more educatedly about that tomorrow morning.
(00:20):
We do have some things being switched around with some
high school football games. The only thing in the Midlins
is Whitmeyer Rich Spring Minetta game has been played tonight.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Well, I did get a text from the athletic director
over at Ridgeview and he says that they're moving their
game to Saturday at noon. So doesn't say why. I
don't know if that has something to do with the
weather or not. Friday night it's supposed to be beautiful
in the Midlands, but.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Maybe they want to give the field plenty of time
to dry out. It could be that protecting the turf.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
There's other possibilities there as well, though, so we'll see
what's going on if other people are moving their games around.
And like you said, eleven o'clock another update. The last
two updates have gone very well for the Midlands. We
were supposed to be almost in the heart of it
yesterday morning at this time, and then we got an
eleven o'clock update. Actually that's three updates. The eleven o'clock
(01:16):
update moved it a little west, five o'clock update moved
it further west, and then the five am this morning
update had it moving even further west. So at this
point bad news still for the Upstate, they're looking at,
you know, like a foot of rain or something. But
for us, we're looking at about four hours of.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
It, a lot of football games, and the Upstate being
moved for tonight as well. So as we see all
this progress, as we head into the Okra Strut weekend
and the Harvest Festival weekend, we got a bunch of
great Because game Cocks have a bye week this one,
everybody schedules fun stuff for the weekend, so we've got
like three different things going on Saturday, absolutely right. So
(01:57):
now tomorrow morning we're gonna have another winner at six thirty.
What you're talking about, Kelly.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
And the answer is already on the Morning Rush blog
at ninety seven five w COS dot com. We had
a sad, sad lady this morning who called in and
said I've been trying to get that. You weren't trying, ma'am.
If you were trying, you would have gone to ninety
seven five w COS dot com and looked at the
Morning rustblog.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
She was trying a small talll with Kelly or She
pulled into her driveway to get the answer on her smartphone.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
It says on the headline for this one Thursday morning,
when Scotty McCreary tickets with this answer and what you're
talking about. We play every morning at six thirty. We
give you a word. Do you tell us what it means?
Let's see what is Thursday's word gonna be? Oh, let's
see how Jonathan does with this word. Convivial, convivial, con con.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Vivial, vivial, con c.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I no, no, con v oh.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Okay, convivial. Uh, I'm going to go with a I'm
gonna I'm gonna go I'm gonna go with a parallel
word to conjovial.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Okay, So how would you use convivial?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Then you're saying it's a killing Nash was quite conjuvial
at the cocktail party.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Convivial, convivial, convivial sort of, it wouldn't be me it
would be the atmosphere. It would be is there. Yes,
So it's to describe something that is great company. So
(03:52):
a group of people can be convivial like the atmosphere,
your group of friends.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
You'd be like your high school reunion.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yes, if you and maybe the crew you rolled with
at the State Fair became more convivial after they visited
the fried Snickers bar stand or something like that. That
put them in a good move. Okay, we'll have a
great convivial crowd. I'm sure as cry takes.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
That's a fun word to use three times today.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, so we got that going on for tomorrow morning.
We also got Miranda Lambert made a big announcement who
would be on her Mount rushmore of country artists? You
get four artists, Jonathan, I was a little surprised at
who she left off, and we're asking who Miranda Lambert
the four people that take up fine. No, I was surprised.
(04:48):
I thought that would be there, but no, Patsy didn't
make it. And she said at the end of it
final answer, she wants you to know I'm not coming
back and revisiting this. I've already thought about it.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
All right. Well, then let me ask the other side,
is she put Taylor Swift on it? No, sir, okay,
just checking.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
No, let's see, I would say, uh, three would be considered.
Two definitely are considered classic country artists. One yeah, what
that make it?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Three?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Three are definitely.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Loretta Zone it. No what, Dolly, No.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I'll give you this. Only one woman made it?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Oh? I was thinking they were all women. Okay, okay,
only one woman made it. Is Johnny Cash in there
because what he's in statutory hall No, didn't make it
in Washington DC, as of yesterday, did not make it.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Not according to Miranda Willy will.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
He's there, yes, of course. Okay, Now I'm on the
right mindset, all right, Willy George Jones, No what.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
That's what I'm saying. The names that I thought would
be there not there. Although I don't have a problem
with Willie. No, Willie and Murle.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Both got on there, okay.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
And then the other can you name the only female
she would put up?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
And it wasn't Reba.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
No, it was not Marion Morris. It's not Kelsey Ballerini.
It was Emmy Lou Harris.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Ye. And then her other Dune Carter Cash got passed
over for Emmy, Lou Harris.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Might as well throw Crystal Gale up there at this.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Point, might as well.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Where's Barbara Mandrell?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Where's Juice Newton? Yeah, we need Juice.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Newton and the final answer. Find out the final answer
is the King George Straight. Okay, so George, Emmy, Lou Merle,
and Willie is her for? Who would you put on
your for?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
That's a great question, you know.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
I'm wondering, Like, now, this may seem sacri lis, but
the best selling artist of all time in country music
as Garth Brooks one hundred and sixty two million albums.
Number two one hundred million short of Garth is George Straight,
(07:20):
sixty nine million. So how do you keep Garth off
of that? I don't know. I mean, he did more
for country music in the early nineties than I mean
that country music might have just moved on into the
ash heap of history at that rate, the way it
was going in the late It was his.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
First Top forty crossover, The dance, Oh, I don't remember.
I believe it was. I remember doing a I remember
doing a wedding and the couple wanted their first song
to be the dance, And while I was playing the song.
(07:57):
I was watching the crowd react and I'm like, you
know something. I think this is a hit for Top forty,
and about two weeks later they released it Top forty.
I'm like, I'm in yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
The best selling female artist of all time see and
this doesn't doesn't feel mount Rushmorian. But the best selling
female artist of all time in country is Shania Twain.
I believe that forty eight and a half million records sold.
We're not putting up bands, but Alabama came in as
the third best selling artist of all time, the fifth
(08:34):
best selling artist who was not mentioned, and I, for
whatever reason, don't feel like he's a mount Rushmorian artist,
but he was a megastar. Kenny Rogers, I mean Kenny
Rodgers was so dominant in the seventies and eighties. It
was like a twenty year window where you could not
get away from Kenny Rogers.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
No even had a television show based on The Gambler.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
And then the number six artists, Now this feels more
mount Rushmorean would be Alan Jackson because he's more of
the traditional country. I guess reb was at number seven,
Tim McGraw number eight, and rounding out your top ten
(09:18):
Kenny Chesney and no way does he make it up there.
John Denver, I can't put John Denver on Mount Rushmore
of country music. But those are your ten best selling
artists of all.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Times from the country, but he wasn't country.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Number twelve was Willie. So if we're just going off sales, yeah,
I mean, you're not even close with Merle and Willie.
But who else?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I mean how.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I feel like you have to have some tribute. I
would think to the original guys, the guys from the thirties. Yeah, hey,
Senior would have to be on the Mount Rushman. You
have seen even if you don't. If the only song
you know is There's a Tear in My Beer, that
doesn't matter. I mean he was He defined country music.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
He did no argument.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I almost want to throw up either. I think I'd
go with Buck Owens, but just because of he ha
Hee Hall was so important to country music in the seventies,
it would be imped I don't know which one you pick.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
You know, it's impossible to use the top five and
if like you're saying, if you're not, if you don't
categorize it by eros, and then you can't use just
total sales because the influence of some based on the
availability distribution of the way that the industry was working
at the time. Garth Brooks strangely enough, refused to sell
(10:52):
a lot of his music on what was then early Spotify. Okay,
and he would only sell the out because he's wanted
you to hear the song. In his context, people don't
listen to music that way. Garth Finally, did he ever
acquiesce to his management and actually put it so he
can download a song?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I would assume so, and he could buy the entire
album online, but he wanted you to get the album
in your hand. He wanted you to have the album
the hard copy so he could read that. I guess
the musical notes. We could read that online, Garth.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
They called Jimmy Buffett a country artist here, isn't that
a country artist? No, he's his own job.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
He would tell you. No, he's his own jobre Yes,
he is his own genre of music.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
By the way, the number twenty best selling artist in
country music. And I think I might be mistaken here,
but I think the third best female artist as far
as sales go, there's Faith Hill at number fifteen. I
think she's number two. Yeah, number three is Carrie Underwood.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah. I mean, if you put it in arrows, she
would definitely be one of the five of her era.
Who's going to beat her oute Taylor?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I mean, I wonder what'd be interested to see what
Taylor Swift's country sales were as opposed to her, Like
what percentage of her sales has been country music? And
it's ridiculous to remember that in twenty I want to
say two thousand and eight, two thousand and seven, when
she was still kind of breaking, they brought her to
(12:33):
w COS and we were on WNOK and we were
prohibited from even meeting her.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
We couldn't walk down the hallway.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yeah, I saw her in I saw her in the
hallway because I had to go to the restroom and
they say, you can't come by because Taylors.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Was about to walk by.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
And I'm like, the girl were playing the new song
from and they're like, yeah, she's big in country though,
and we're making sure that she stays country. We don't
want her having any pictures with any pop guys. That
was they thought we'd ruin her, and now here she is.
She couldn't give a rip about country music anymore.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
She that definitely doesn't won't be associated with it.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Now, well, perhaps we'll get a chance to discuss who
you put on your mount rushmore of country music. That's
one Indiana school janitor went viral in twenty twenty two.
His name was Richard Goodall. Richard Goodall was singing at
a high school talent competition, Don't Stop Believing, and the
(13:29):
students went bonkers, and for good reason, Richard did an
incredible version he Don't Stop Believing. Yes, and that video
launched him into the stratosphere, and everybody was talking about
him back then and anyway, that somehow led him on
a journey which got him to oh a journey, See
how I tied that in let him on a journey
that got him onto America's Got Talent. And last night
(13:53):
Richard won the million dollar prize. The fans called in
and flooded the phone lines, I guess, or the emails
or whatever. And he walks away with a million dollars.
On top of that, he got to perform Don't Stop
Believing with Neil Sean and other members of Journey last
night at the And we have that video if you
(14:15):
want to see it on the Morning Rush blog at
ninety seven to five w SOS dot com. At the
end of the performance, as they were wrapping up the show,
what's his name, Terry whatever his name is, Terry, I
want to say Terry Tate, but that's not his last name.
Terry Crews is that his name? The host, Terry Crews
is up there talking with Neil sean In, the former janitor,
(14:36):
Richard Goodall, and Richard. They put a picture up. Richard
has just gotten married to a woman named Angie. I
think her last name is pronounced van Ovin and Jay. Anyway,
Angie van Ovin and Richard Goodall have decided they're not
(14:58):
going to take each other's last names, are not going
to combine. Well, they kind they didn't hyphenate their names.
They actually created a new name, and so they're going
they're now the Van Godol family. So they're the first
ever Vandals. Interesting, So he took part of her last name,
(15:19):
she took part of his last name.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
And this is bennefer Steroids. That's right, and it's legal,
I guess if you.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Can legally change your name to anything, right, So it
has to be approved by some judge somewhere. But what
do you think of this idea? Jonathan's interesting. So like
the you know, the Russian Russian family, Yeah, Russia. Sally's
name was Sullivan, so you could have been like Russia. Yeah,
(15:46):
she'd be and you'd be Jonathan John. You'd have to
take part of her last name and we both change
her name. Now, your kids would have that last name
until they got married, and then that would be the
end of the Russian line. Every generation is the line,
so there's no family history per se where you share
the last name. Do you like this idea? I know
(16:12):
you hate it. Why would I even ask?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
No, I I would not mister traditional.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I wouldn't be married.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
She said, I want to combine our names. You're out.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Well you should have tell me this like thirty minutes
into our first date. If it works out, we get
we get to mingle, com mingle our name. I would
I wouldn't been into you to an appetizer.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I have heard of some guys. Now I don't think
we've talked about it on the Aaron. Perhaps we'll talk
about this at another time, but I have heard of
guys who take her last name. Okay, what do you
think of that idea? We're keeping a name, it's just
not gonna be mine. Well, he didn't like his last name.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
You might have got to wear the pants, and apparently
they don't fit him. His name is Dingle Shifts or something.
Her name was Smith.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
He's like, I'd rather be You might have an argument
on it. I don't want to be Steve.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I want to be Steve Smith.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
That's great, but I've never heard of anybody combining their
last names to create a new ful.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Well here froin morning Russian regulars. Who know someone whose
first name was a combination of two names?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
And how would you feel if your child told you
we're combined.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Maybe it's different if it's a daughter. If it's a daughter,
and she's like, I want to honor our family name
by continuing to use at least a part of it. True,
I'm trying to honor that. The son says it, though,
and it's like, wait minute, you're going to just butcher
our last name. I will not have author I will
not have a grandchild who has my last name. That's
(17:43):
why I went and had a son.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I like it. We found another way to have friction
of relationships. They created it.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
The janitor from Indiana has divided America.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
This guy, but now I love him. That has created
a controversy. Uh, that's great, Okay, all right, we can
do some of that. Hey, what's going on in your
neighborhood we should be talking about. You're how to reach
out to us on social media. Maybe you already know
somebody who took somebody's name. It was a combination of
the game. It was a combination for the first name.
And now you're thinking, should have done it for the
last name. But this guy's leading the way. Is this
(18:16):
going to be the new way for holy matrimony? Holy crap?
What are you thinking? And also, if you'd like to
email us, you could do with that at Rush at
ninety seven five w cos dot com.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I'm Nash at ninety seven five w SOS dot com.
Speaker 1 (18:28):

I was watching the crowd react and I'm like, you
know something. I think this is a hit for Top forty,
and about two weeks later they released it Top forty.
I'm like, I'm in yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
The best selling female artist of all time see and
this doesn't doesn't feel mount Rushmorian. But the best selling
female artist of all time in country is Shania Twain.
I believe that forty eight and a half million records sold.
We're not putting up bands, but Alabama came in as
the third best selling artist of all time, the fifth
(08:34):
best selling artist who was not mentioned, and I, for
whatever reason, don't feel like he's a mount Rushmorian artist,
but he was a megastar. Kenny Rogers, I mean Kenny
Rodgers was so dominant in the seventies and eighties. It
was like a twenty year window where you could not
get away from Kenny Rogers.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
No even had a television show based on The Gambler.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
And then the number six artists, Now this feels more
mount Rushmorean would be Alan Jackson because he's more of
the traditional country. I guess reb was at number seven,
Tim McGraw number eight, and rounding out your top ten
(09:18):
Kenny Chesney and no way does he make it up there.
John Denver, I can't put John Denver on Mount Rushmore
of country music. But those are your ten best selling
artists of all.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Times from the country, but he wasn't country.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Number twelve was Willie. So if we're just going off sales, yeah,
I mean, you're not even close with Merle and Willie.
But who else?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I mean how.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I feel like you have to have some tribute. I
would think to the original guys, the guys from the thirties. Yeah, hey,
Senior would have to be on the Mount Rushman. You
have seen even if you don't. If the only song
you know is There's a Tear in My Beer, that
doesn't matter. I mean he was He defined country music.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
He did no argument.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I almost want to throw up either. I think I'd
go with Buck Owens, but just because of he ha
Hee Hall was so important to country music in the seventies,
it would be imped I don't know which one you pick.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
You know, it's impossible to use the top five and
if like you're saying, if you're not, if you don't
categorize it by eros, and then you can't use just
total sales because the influence of some based on the
availability distribution of the way that the industry was working
at the time. Garth Brooks strangely enough, refused to sell
(10:52):
a lot of his music on what was then early Spotify. Okay,
and he would only sell the out because he's wanted
you to hear the song. In his context, people don't
listen to music that way. Garth Finally, did he ever
acquiesce to his management and actually put it so he
can download a song?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I would assume so, and he could buy the entire
album online, but he wanted you to get the album
in your hand. He wanted you to have the album
the hard copy so he could read that. I guess
the musical notes. We could read that online, Garth.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
They called Jimmy Buffett a country artist here, isn't that
a country artist? No, he's his own job.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
He would tell you. No, he's his own jobre Yes,
he is his own genre of music.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
By the way, the number twenty best selling artist in
country music. And I think I might be mistaken here,
but I think the third best female artist as far
as sales go, there's Faith Hill at number fifteen. I
think she's number two. Yeah, number three is Carrie Underwood.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah. I mean, if you put it in arrows, she
would definitely be one of the five of her era.
Who's going to beat her oute Taylor?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I mean, I wonder what'd be interested to see what
Taylor Swift's country sales were as opposed to her, Like
what percentage of her sales has been country music? And
it's ridiculous to remember that in twenty I want to
say two thousand and eight, two thousand and seven, when
she was still kind of breaking, they brought her to
(12:33):
w COS and we were on WNOK and we were
prohibited from even meeting her.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
We couldn't walk down the hallway.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yeah, I saw her in I saw her in the
hallway because I had to go to the restroom and
they say, you can't come by because Taylors.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Was about to walk by.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
And I'm like, the girl were playing the new song
from and they're like, yeah, she's big in country though,
and we're making sure that she stays country. We don't
want her having any pictures with any pop guys. That
was they thought we'd ruin her, and now here she is.
She couldn't give a rip about country music anymore.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
She that definitely doesn't won't be associated with it.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Now, well, perhaps we'll get a chance to discuss who
you put on your mount rushmore of country music. That's
one Indiana school janitor went viral in twenty twenty two.
His name was Richard Goodall. Richard Goodall was singing at
a high school talent competition, Don't Stop Believing, and the
(13:29):
students went bonkers, and for good reason, Richard did an
incredible version he Don't Stop Believing. Yes, and that video
launched him into the stratosphere, and everybody was talking about
him back then and anyway, that somehow led him on
a journey which got him to oh a journey, See
how I tied that in let him on a journey
that got him onto America's Got Talent. And last night
(13:53):
Richard won the million dollar prize. The fans called in
and flooded the phone lines, I guess, or the emails
or whatever. And he walks away with a million dollars.
On top of that, he got to perform Don't Stop
Believing with Neil Sean and other members of Journey last
night at the And we have that video if you
(14:15):
want to see it on the Morning Rush blog at
ninety seven to five w SOS dot com. At the
end of the performance, as they were wrapping up the show,
what's his name, Terry whatever his name is, Terry, I
want to say Terry Tate, but that's not his last name.
Terry Crews is that his name? The host, Terry Crews
is up there talking with Neil sean In, the former janitor,
(14:36):
Richard Goodall, and Richard. They put a picture up. Richard
has just gotten married to a woman named Angie. I
think her last name is pronounced van Ovin and Jay. Anyway,
Angie van Ovin and Richard Goodall have decided they're not
(14:58):
going to take each other's last names, are not going
to combine. Well, they kind they didn't hyphenate their names.
They actually created a new name, and so they're going
they're now the Van Godol family. So they're the first
ever Vandals. Interesting, So he took part of her last name,
(15:19):
she took part of his last name.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
And this is bennefer Steroids. That's right, and it's legal,
I guess if you.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Can legally change your name to anything, right, So it
has to be approved by some judge somewhere. But what
do you think of this idea? Jonathan's interesting. So like
the you know, the Russian Russian family, Yeah, Russia. Sally's
name was Sullivan, so you could have been like Russia. Yeah,
(15:46):
she'd be and you'd be Jonathan John. You'd have to
take part of her last name and we both change
her name. Now, your kids would have that last name
until they got married, and then that would be the
end of the Russian line. Every generation is the line,
so there's no family history per se where you share
the last name. Do you like this idea? I know
(16:12):
you hate it. Why would I even ask?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
No, I I would not mister traditional.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I wouldn't be married.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
She said, I want to combine our names. You're out.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Well you should have tell me this like thirty minutes
into our first date. If it works out, we get
we get to mingle, com mingle our name. I would
I wouldn't been into you to an appetizer.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I have heard of some guys. Now I don't think
we've talked about it on the Aaron. Perhaps we'll talk
about this at another time, but I have heard of
guys who take her last name. Okay, what do you
think of that idea? We're keeping a name, it's just
not gonna be mine. Well, he didn't like his last name.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
You might have got to wear the pants, and apparently
they don't fit him. His name is Dingle Shifts or something.
Her name was Smith.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
He's like, I'd rather be You might have an argument
on it. I don't want to be Steve.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I want to be Steve Smith.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
That's great, but I've never heard of anybody combining their
last names to create a new ful.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Well here froin morning Russian regulars. Who know someone whose
first name was a combination of two names?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
And how would you feel if your child told you
we're combined.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Maybe it's different if it's a daughter. If it's a daughter,
and she's like, I want to honor our family name
by continuing to use at least a part of it. True,
I'm trying to honor that. The son says it, though,
and it's like, wait minute, you're going to just butcher
our last name. I will not have author I will
not have a grandchild who has my last name. That's
(17:43):
why I went and had a son.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I like it. We found another way to have friction
of relationships. They created it.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
The janitor from Indiana has divided America.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
This guy, but now I love him. That has created
a controversy. Uh, that's great, Okay, all right, we can
do some of that. Hey, what's going on in your
neighborhood we should be talking about. You're how to reach
out to us on social media. Maybe you already know
somebody who took somebody's name. It was a combination of
the game. It was a combination for the first name.
And now you're thinking, should have done it for the
last name. But this guy's leading the way. Is this
(18:16):
going to be the new way for holy matrimony? Holy crap?
What are you thinking? And also, if you'd like to
email us, you could do with that at Rush at
ninety seven five w cos dot com.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I'm Nash at ninety seven five w SOS dot com.
