Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, killing ash Hey, what's happening.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's tomorrow show today. Thankfully tomorrow will be a little
better than today, and the next day a little better
than that.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Oh you're talking about for the people who still have
their power out.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Yeah, yeah, we got problems here all across South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Hearts and prayer, we got teas and piece always the
t's and p's, especially for western North Carolina where the
majority damage happened. We're watching the more interviews from Ashville
right now and.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Seeing those videos of those over swollen and over and
swolling over their banks, rivers. That water's coming south. You're
watching the congagree, and we'll keep you up to it
as always through WCS and our sisters Station WVOC, as
we one day at a time, get better and marching
towards the ninth of October for the opening of the
(00:50):
South Carolina State Fair.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I promise I will have a pronunciation for you tomorrow.
As of right now, I'm just guessing, all right, dex
stro sinistral, dextro sinistral. That is the word of what
you're talking about, dexto dextrowstrot's. Now, let's see you are
(01:13):
very good at trying to figure these.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Things out the worst. It was right and left sinistralnistralstral. Well,
go more with the sinistrel sun. You can be able
to look both ways at the same time. Almost.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
It's because left handed people are sinister. We know that
that's already been established my grandmother. My grandmother told me
that if you have left hands, that they beat that
out of you when at the Catholic school because you're sinister.
And the Latin word dexter meaning the ability to use
(01:58):
either hand. So if your dextro sinistral, it's a natural
left hander who learns to become a right hand.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Oh wow, and that'll get you a hell of a
contract in the NBA. Excuse me, well, both the NF, NFL, NBA,
MB What am I trying to say, You're trying to
say baseball MLB? Spit it out, brother, by the way,
any initials?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I just met any An. I had not met Carson
Messina before this weekend, but his uncle and aunt live
across the street from me, and he was supposed to
come play for the game Cocks and ended up signing
a Major League Baseball contract out of Somerville High School
this year. His brother, obviously is Cole Messina, who also
(02:43):
left the game Cocks early to sign a major league
baseball contract. But talking to him about what it's like
down there, and uh, it's He's like, it's not what
I had expected. And they one of the things they
do is they can you mention doing this. They put
(03:04):
you Every week they do a scan of your body,
and they can in that scan tell you exactly how
much fat is on your body. Wow, exactly, And then
they talk to you about your from the scan, they
can tell you your blood pressure, they can tell you
everything about yourself. How loose are your muscles. You're not
(03:24):
stretching enough. I can tell that from the way your
scan came out. And he's talking about like in pitching
they film him. He's like, they only film me for
like five minutes. Just go in there and do a
bullpen session. Take five ten minutes. That's it. We're not
throwing anymore.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
You're shut down for the next two months.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
We're just going to study the film. That's all. We're
talking about. Moving your elbow like one one hundredth of
an inch in your delivery and that'll pick up an
extra two miles an hour. Amazing He's like, it's such
a science. And he also himself. I mean he's eighteen
years all. He got himself a hell of a nice truck.
I'll tell you that he was driving. They said they
(04:04):
he signed in the twelfth round, but they gave him
a fourth round bonus. So I don't know what that
means and why they would give you a fourth round
bonus if you signed in the twelfth round. But he
said that was enough to keep me from going to
the game Cock. But he thinks that the game Cocks
out shot.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
It, really, say the fourth round pick, knowing they already
got the deal for the twelfth round because he was
going to be chosen. He was going to choose them
or go to the game Cocks. That's a pretty smart
way to negotiate it. You would imagine that by the
time you spend that much money buying the contracted services
of an athlete, that the science would get pretty heavy
duty in the training and prep. But who knew they
(04:40):
could do all that.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
And I'm sure it gets crazier every year. Like if
we talked to major League baseball players from ten years ago,
you know, the twenty fifteen crop would be like we
didn't have anything like that. What are you talking about?
You know, I remember in basketball, I only played one
year at the next level, but that was a weird
year because it was nineteen eighty six and the science
(05:07):
quote unquote science at that point had said basketball players
should remain as light as you can possibly get. That'll
help you with your jumping, that'll help just your game
in general, with your cardio. The lighter you are, the
better you'll be. So we had been discouraged from doing
anything in a gym, stay away from weights, that is bad.
(05:31):
But Michael Jordan in nineteen eighty four started lifting, and
by nineteen eighty six it had trickled into the college
level and they were beginning to tell and I remember
the coach is saying, we're going to try it. We're
going to see if it works. We're going to try
to lift weights, and most of the players like, get
the hell out of here. I don't want to ruin
(05:51):
my game. We've been running from waights coach. Yeah, we
were told don't lift anything, don't do push ups, don't
do anything that would actually increase the weight of your
body by putting muscle on, because that'll affect your abilities
to play basketball.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
It's going to hurt my article.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
And you know now we know. I mean, it's funny
because what do we how many years later is have
forty years later? Almost forty years later, it's obvious that
the science on that has been settled. The more you lift,
the better you're going to be, And you're not going
to beat muscle bound. I mean, I laugh at the
women who are like, I don't want to get muscle bound.
No woman is getting muscle bound. No man is getting
muscle bound without a lot of extra help. You know,
(06:29):
I've lifted a lot of weights in my life and
I can still move my arms quite freely. You don't.
You don't get that ability to say I have what
is it, the the peck syndrome R Your arms have
to stick out and you can't lift them because your
biceps are too big. You're doing, you're injecting some things
in order to get to that level.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I saw a girl on the internet the other day
with the posting she's been injecting a couple of things.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Oh yeah, she ripped, Oh yeah yeah. I mean it's possible,
but you don't how many how long you'd have to
be in the gym, lifting, lifting, lifting, injecting, injecting, injecting,
and then even just the nutrition on that just to
consume enough protein. It's it's way too complicated. You're not
(07:14):
doing it anyway. Back to the State Fair tomorrow. Dextro
dextro snat sinistrel sinistral is my guess. I will have
a pronunciation for you tomorrow. For sure.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Grow the definition. That's all you need to know in
order to the whim because we're gonna ask you what
the word means and you're gonna win yourself a four
pack of tickets to the South Carolina State Fair and
two ride wristbands.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Now, congratulations Miranda Lambert. We didn't get a chance to
do the Country Music News today, but had we, we
would have mentioned that Miranda Lambert had a huge weekend
three blue ribbons. Congratulations at the Oklahoma State Fair for
her baking, No for her horses. Ah, she says, this
is possibly my favorite thing in the world to do
(07:58):
is show my horses. She did it and she won
three blue ribbons over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Now that's a hell of a competition. Anybody can tell you.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Do you think that the fact that these horses are
being shown by Miranda Lambert had some impact.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Come on now, come on now, Kelly, No, you go
down to the South South Carolina State Fair and you
started talking about livestock. I don't care which damn farm
raised you. They're looking at those cattle.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
You're saying if Darius Rucker brought his whatever, That's what
I'm saying that they wouldn't that. The judges just don't
naturally go, oh my gosh, I'd a chance to go
give Darius a prize.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I'd say they probably have to, would have to show
even better for fear of some type of pushback from
the good old boys around there at the Carl b
Nut Cattle Rita.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I'm saying that the judges I can't.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Believe her cast that kind of aspersion.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
She was really interested in trying to win it. She
wouldn't show the horses. She would have somebody else do
it for her.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
He's proud of her horses. Come on, now, don't rob her.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
So if you want to see that, we have that
on the Morning rest blogs dot com. What are you
excited about it? Your state fair? You're going to be
cheering on the the livestock competitions. Are you more concerned
or interested in the food that we'll be serving. Are
you more interested in the rides? Interested in the What
kind of concerts do we have this year? Have we
heard of?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Well, the big names no more pavilion, No, they stop booking.
They've still got acts, it's just they do they don't
do the big name acts anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
We did some good ones there, and we did.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
We have done some damn good acts there, but that's nice.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I remember Darius Rutger. We introduced Darius at the State.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Fair, Yes, we did. We have seen some good acts
come through, but they don't. They don't do that anymore.
I'm clicking the Pepsi State Pavilion. Yeah, let's see who's

from Elton John of the Eagles to Third Eye Blind
and Stone Temple Pilot.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
We did have them last year, but they were doing
which version of it was were they doing? I think
they were doing. I remember being backstage for that show.
I can't remember. It had come to me in a minute.
Oh it was the Eagles. It was the Eagles tribute.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Our friends from Colombia, Praise ninety five point seven has
their own night.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Jesus gott to have his night.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yeah, the uplifting gift of the gospel music will be
at the South Carolina State Fair with the performance, you
won't want to miss the event. How do you know
what I want? You won't want to miss it. This
event will showcase a diverse lineup of gospel singers, choirs,
and talent delivering a blend of contemporary, traditional and classic
(11:22):
gospel music. But you're right, the biggest name happens to
be the Tams. The Tams will be there on October
ninth at seven pm. What kind OF's the opening night?
The tams have been entertaining audiences around the world for
fifty years. Well you got all that going on this
(11:43):
year at the State Fair. And Jonathan, I don't I'm
not a prankster per se. I can't even really think
of any great pranks that I have played. But I
laughed out loud when I saw this video. And if
you want to see it, it's on the Morning Rest
blog at ninety seven five WCS dot com. Over the weekend,
they I guess they had filmed this earlier, but they
(12:06):
just played it yesterday on the NFL Today Show or
whatever they call that Fox Sports Show. Rob Grankowski is
on the team.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
For those of you not fans of football, Rob is
one of the probably be remembered as one of the
top five tight ends in the history of the game.
Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, and Jay Glazer decided
to prank him and they did a segment where all
of them are in on the bit. The only one
who doesn't know that this is not real is Rob.
(12:39):
And do you hear the director go something like and
We're alive? In five four three two one. So Rob
is under the impression this is a live shot. We're
getting ready for the NFL today, and you know, Kurt
Menifee or whatever his name is, he comes in big
game of the week. Cowboys are back in action and
(12:59):
we have breaking news. Is that right, Jay? And Jay
says absolutely. The Cowboys have been waiting and they finally
are reactivating Rich Russo. He's been out for a while.
But we think that this is going to be a
big play in the Cowboys game plan today, the return
of the all what do they call him, an All
Pro tight end? Rich Russo is back and you see
(13:19):
Michael Strahan say that's a complete game changer for the Cowboys.
This is going to give a big break to their
quarterback who's been trying to figure out how to get
a pass game started. Also going to help out Ezekiel
Elliott in the run game because now they have a
legitimate threat that they can get the ball to. And
as they're going on and on, they're like, well, you know,
to you Rob, one of the greatest tight ends in
(13:40):
the history of the game, how do you think Russo
will affect today's game plan? And he just makes it
up off the top of his head. Well, he's been
out for a while, so I imagine he's going to be rusty.
I don't know how much they're going to be able
to activate him. They kept it straight until Bradshaw says, well,
(14:00):
and we got to remember the reason he was on
the injured reserves. He blew two fingers off his hand.
I mean, I mean, how does that How does that
affect a guy catching a pass when half your fingers
are missing, and and and there is you know, Rob
Gronkowski trying to process all this, and he's like, well,
I have all my fingers, so I don't know how
I would be able to catch the ball or whatever.
(14:21):
And that's when they all broke down laughing. And he
was and he said, I was going to say, as
soon as the segment's over, I've never heard of Richard
So who is this guy? He's an all pro tight end.
I never even heard of him. And they had like
a picture of the guy and the Cowboys jersey and
he's flexing like he just scored a touchdown. I mean,
they really put that thing together until that moment.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I think the best sports clip of this millennium.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Was letting n They say, or no, letting they say, or.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
No, that was hysterical. Many strange things happened when the
red lights are live on the camera. Yes, yeah, you
can't back up, you can't say time out. You got
to come up with something quick.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Yeah, Gronkowski thought it was live, so you can't bail.
You can't say we're taping this, so hang on a
guy a second. I don't know who Rich Russo even is.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I was thinking it was one of those players or
one of the characters in the movie North Dallas forty.
But that was Renee Russo, who was in that movie.
That's why I did the Forest Association.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
They just made up a name and sounded like it
could be an all pro tight end Rich Russo. That'll
be a sports trivia question in the future. But what
pranks have you done? I know there's some couples who
love to prank one another. You see them sometimes on
my TikTok and Instagram or whatever.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
And you know what's amazing is is that the commitment
to the prank, the commitment level to the prank sometimes
is nearly unbelievable. Now, if you got a whole cast
set up, and you've got a production crew, that can
back you up. It makes it a little bit easier.
But if you just your wife, your spouse, your son,
(16:02):
family member, brother or whatever. And some of these people prank.
The prank started like six months ago. The foundation was
set three, four or five months ago, waiting for the moment,
and then the moment springs itself. But the commitment to
the prank with some people is unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Well it's not a prank, but I don't even know
if you still do this. I just remember hearing a
story from you years ago. I think it was a
butterfinger bar or something. Oh yeah, and you would just
like hide it in each other's a mountains bar and
it would just pop up in your sock.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Track has something to do with the television show. I
wasn't even stupid to it, but the boys started it.
It would just then it just this thing was like
a cockroach. He just kept hiding then coming out every
now and.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Then and you'd find it like six months later. Yes,
and then oh you finally got it. Yeah, I was
in my boots in the closet, Yes, that I was
getting ready to go hunting in or whatever.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah, those cowboy bood has been sitting in the closet
for six months waiting on me. The prank was set
and you know, because it was a boot, you got
to stick your hand in the first to make sure
you don't have a brown recluse. And that's where the
mountains bar fell.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Is that how you do it? You put your finger into.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
You ship side down, the mountains bar falls out, and
you go, damn it. We said, when a brown recluse.
What was the commitment level? Or maybe it was just
some people are so easily gullible that you could set
them up and prank them all the time.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Well that is funny if you can just prank them
with a lie like this and then they have to
commit to it.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Or if you know people's tendencies, it's easy. Like if
you take if Sally's big on, everything goes black immediately.
Like if she pushes the button down on the toaster, okay,
and it's not clicking. Yeah, it's not working.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
A new toaster.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Who broke the toaster? Yeah, you calm down, but the
toaster's not working. Just unplugged it.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
This scated quickly, very quickly.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Well that's not funny. Plug it back in okay, sorry, Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
So you could you can prank like that.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I would write, we don't have any coffee.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
But it's like there's you know, there's people like in
this instance, he was supposed to know, right, that's his
job to know who this tight end would be.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
But there's also people pro russo what are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
There's also people who know everything, sure, and it's fun
to prank them. I haven't done it yet, but it
is fun to prank people who don't like with non
facts and tell them something oughts. It's like when Joe
Biden was you know, everybody remembers when he was with
the prostitute and he got arrested in the hotel in
nineteen ninety six. I mean, I thought that would have
(18:47):
ended his career. And you're like, oh, yeah, I totally
remember that. Yeah, I mean that that the way they
spun that. It's like that ever happens you moron.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Oh who did you prank? And how did it turn out?
Do you have a video you could share with it?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Those are always good? Yes?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
All right? So anyway, nonetheless, okay, let's talk about some
of the things going on in your neighborhood other than
the down power lines and the down trees and you know,
the chainsaws will be lulling you to sleep again tonight
as you get ready to go to bed. It's interesting
now I'm talking to people that haven't slept with their
windows open in years. Because they get a little cool
air and little circulation because the AC's off. Because the
(19:26):
power's out, you hear all kinds of things that you
you wouldn't hear normally unless you were camping out.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Yeah, I don't even have screens, so it's not possible
for me to open my window because if I do,
then all the moms come in.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
You know, that's a good question. A lot, you know,
because we're so big into air quality, A lot of
people don't even have screens. And if you have one,
you took them down the first time you had to
clean them and said, why we're gonna put them back up.
I talked to a woman who actually slept on her
patio screened in patio, and she has like a hammock
kind of thing out there, so she slept out there,
and she said it reminded me of camping out in
the mountains of North Carolina. I heard a screench and
(20:01):
you talking about listening to nature, and it felt so cool.
Out there.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I wear headphones every night to bed now and I
listen to nature, do you Yeah, so I don't have nature.
I listen to nature. Sometimes it's like a babbling brook.
Sometimes it's a rainstorm. Sometimes it's just the sounds of
the forest. There's all kinds of different sounds that are
trying to help me sleep.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yeah, I don't listen to any of that.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
You listen to the soothing sounds of Fox.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Now. I go to sleep under the warm glow of
last night. One of the was the warm glow of
MSNBC whatever news channel happens to be on when I
finally because I'll flip channels until I finally pass out.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I wish we still ran the Guy on WVOC. I'm
drawing a blanket Michael Savage And one of the greatest
promos ever made was our guy Gary down the Hall.
He created this one. You know, after a long day
at work, pour yourself your favorite beverage, settle into your
lazy boy or whatever, and listen to the soothing sounds
(20:59):
of my ankles Savage and the guy comes out. He's
just screaming about Obama. How long your paper?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I gotta butt up with the Viomen Fetter Bermit of DC.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
You know Bama is a socialistic he's screaming.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
He got still alive, believe it or not. I thought
he would have dropped out of a heart attack by now,
but he hasn't.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
That's but in my mind, that's how you go to
bed every night. You're listening to some guy just screaming
at you. The world is there.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Listening to some guy. We go talk to whatever. Congressman.
I'm like, that's the worst crap. Click, go to the
next one. Click, worse crap. He's full of crap.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Bring it. I need some heat.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Hey, what's going on in your neighborhood. We should be
talking about charge hippy phone? Even you have to go
down to the civic club. Uh bigs. Look to South
Carolina civic organizations and churches and the like that are
opening up to the community to charge phones and let
people take showers and those kind of things. It helps
our South Carolina cit It's not get so antsy. You know,
(22:02):

It's tomorrow show today. Thankfully tomorrow will be a little
better than today, and the next day a little better
than that.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Oh you're talking about for the people who still have
their power out.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Yeah, yeah, we got problems here all across South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Hearts and prayer, we got teas and piece always the
t's and p's, especially for western North Carolina where the
majority damage happened. We're watching the more interviews from Ashville
right now and.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
I promise I will have a pronunciation for you tomorrow.
As of right now, I'm just guessing, all right, dex
stro sinistral, dextro sinistral. That is the word of what
you're talking about, dexto dextrowstrot's. Now, let's see you are
(01:13):
very good at trying to figure these.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Things out the worst. It was right and left sinistralnistralstral. Well,
go more with the sinistrel sun. You can be able
to look both ways at the same time. Almost.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
It's because left handed people are sinister. We know that
that's already been established my grandmother. My grandmother told me
that if you have left hands, that they beat that
out of you when at the Catholic school because you're sinister.
And the Latin word dexter meaning the ability to use
(01:58):
either hand. So if your dextro sinistral, it's a natural
left hander who learns to become a right hand.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Oh wow, and that'll get you a hell of a
contract in the NBA. Excuse me, well, both the NF, NFL, NBA,
MB What am I trying to say, You're trying to
say baseball MLB? Spit it out, brother, by the way,
any initials?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I just met any An. I had not met Carson
Messina before this weekend, but his uncle and aunt live
across the street from me, and he was supposed to
come play for the game Cocks and ended up signing
a Major League Baseball contract out of Somerville High School
this year. His brother, obviously is Cole Messina, who also
(02:43):
left the game Cocks early to sign a major league
baseball contract. But talking to him about what it's like
down there, and uh, it's He's like, it's not what
I had expected. And they one of the things they
do is they can you mention doing this. They put
(03:04):
you Every week they do a scan of your body,
and they can in that scan tell you exactly how
much fat is on your body. Wow, exactly, And then
they talk to you about your from the scan, they
can tell you your blood pressure, they can tell you
everything about yourself. How loose are your muscles. You're not
(03:24):
stretching enough. I can tell that from the way your
scan came out. And he's talking about like in pitching
they film him. He's like, they only film me for
like five minutes. Just go in there and do a
bullpen session. Take five ten minutes. That's it. We're not
throwing anymore.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
You're shut down for the next two months.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
We're just going to study the film. That's all. We're
talking about. Moving your elbow like one one hundredth of
an inch in your delivery and that'll pick up an
extra two miles an hour. Amazing He's like, it's such
a science. And he also himself. I mean he's eighteen
years all. He got himself a hell of a nice truck.
I'll tell you that he was driving. They said they
(04:04):
he signed in the twelfth round, but they gave him
a fourth round bonus. So I don't know what that
means and why they would give you a fourth round
bonus if you signed in the twelfth round. But he
said that was enough to keep me from going to
the game Cock. But he thinks that the game Cocks
out shot.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
It, really, say the fourth round pick, knowing they already
got the deal for the twelfth round because he was
going to be chosen. He was going to choose them
or go to the game Cocks. That's a pretty smart
way to negotiate it. You would imagine that by the
time you spend that much money buying the contracted services
of an athlete, that the science would get pretty heavy
duty in the training and prep. But who knew they
(04:40):
could do all that.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
And I'm sure it gets crazier every year. Like if
we talked to major League baseball players from ten years ago,
you know, the twenty fifteen crop would be like we
didn't have anything like that. What are you talking about?
You know, I remember in basketball, I only played one
year at the next level, but that was a weird
year because it was nineteen eighty six and the science
(05:07):
quote unquote science at that point had said basketball players
should remain as light as you can possibly get. That'll
help you with your jumping, that'll help just your game
in general, with your cardio. The lighter you are, the
better you'll be. So we had been discouraged from doing
anything in a gym, stay away from weights, that is bad.
(05:31):
But Michael Jordan in nineteen eighty four started lifting, and
by nineteen eighty six it had trickled into the college
level and they were beginning to tell and I remember
the coach is saying, we're going to try it. We're
going to see if it works. We're going to try
to lift weights, and most of the players like, get
the hell out of here. I don't want to ruin
(05:51):
my game. We've been running from waights coach. Yeah, we
were told don't lift anything, don't do push ups, don't
do anything that would actually increase the weight of your
body by putting muscle on, because that'll affect your abilities
to play basketball.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
It's going to hurt my article.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
And you know now we know. I mean, it's funny
because what do we how many years later is have
forty years later? Almost forty years later, it's obvious that
the science on that has been settled. The more you lift,
the better you're going to be, And you're not going
to beat muscle bound. I mean, I laugh at the
women who are like, I don't want to get muscle bound.
No woman is getting muscle bound. No man is getting
muscle bound without a lot of extra help. You know,
(06:29):
I've lifted a lot of weights in my life and
I can still move my arms quite freely. You don't.
You don't get that ability to say I have what
is it, the the peck syndrome R Your arms have
to stick out and you can't lift them because your
biceps are too big. You're doing, you're injecting some things
in order to get to that level.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I saw a girl on the internet the other day
with the posting she's been injecting a couple of things.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Oh yeah, she ripped, Oh yeah yeah. I mean it's possible,
but you don't how many how long you'd have to
be in the gym, lifting, lifting, lifting, injecting, injecting, injecting,
and then even just the nutrition on that just to
consume enough protein. It's it's way too complicated. You're not
(07:14):
doing it anyway. Back to the State Fair tomorrow. Dextro
dextro snat sinistrel sinistral is my guess. I will have
a pronunciation for you tomorrow. For sure.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Grow the definition. That's all you need to know in
order to the whim because we're gonna ask you what
the word means and you're gonna win yourself a four
pack of tickets to the South Carolina State Fair and
two ride wristbands.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Now, congratulations Miranda Lambert. We didn't get a chance to
do the Country Music News today, but had we, we
would have mentioned that Miranda Lambert had a huge weekend
three blue ribbons. Congratulations at the Oklahoma State Fair for
her baking, No for her horses. Ah, she says, this
is possibly my favorite thing in the world to do
(07:58):
is show my horses. She did it and she won
three blue ribbons over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Now that's a hell of a competition. Anybody can tell you.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Do you think that the fact that these horses are
being shown by Miranda Lambert had some impact.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Come on now, come on now, Kelly, No, you go
down to the South South Carolina State Fair and you
started talking about livestock. I don't care which damn farm
raised you. They're looking at those cattle.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
You're saying if Darius Rucker brought his whatever, That's what
I'm saying that they wouldn't that. The judges just don't
naturally go, oh my gosh, I'd a chance to go
give Darius a prize.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I'd say they probably have to, would have to show
even better for fear of some type of pushback from
the good old boys around there at the Carl b
Nut Cattle Rita.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I'm saying that the judges I can't.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Believe her cast that kind of aspersion.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
She was really interested in trying to win it. She
wouldn't show the horses. She would have somebody else do
it for her.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
He's proud of her horses. Come on, now, don't rob her.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
So if you want to see that, we have that
on the Morning rest blogs dot com. What are you
excited about it? Your state fair? You're going to be
cheering on the the livestock competitions. Are you more concerned
or interested in the food that we'll be serving. Are
you more interested in the rides? Interested in the What

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Well, the big names no more pavilion, No, they stop booking.
They've still got acts, it's just they do they don't
do the big name acts anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
We did some good ones there, and we did.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
We have done some damn good acts there, but that's nice.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I remember Darius Rutger. We introduced Darius at the State.
Speaker 2 (09:41):

which version of it was were they doing? I think
they were doing. I remember being backstage for that show.
I can't remember. It had come to me in a minute.
Oh it was the Eagles. It was the Eagles tribute.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Our friends from Colombia, Praise ninety five point seven has

Jesus gott to have his night.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yeah, the uplifting gift of the gospel music will be

what I want? You won't want to miss it. This
event will showcase a diverse lineup of gospel singers, choirs,

gospel music. But you're right, the biggest name happens to
be the Tams. The Tams will be there on October
ninth at seven pm. What kind OF's the opening night?
The tams have been entertaining audiences around the world for
fifty years. Well you got all that going on this
(11:43):
year at the State Fair. And Jonathan, I don't I'm
not a prankster per se. I can't even really think
of any great pranks that I have played. But I
laughed out loud when I saw this video. And if
you want to see it, it's on the Morning Rest
blog at ninety seven five WCS dot com. Over the weekend,
they I guess they had filmed this earlier, but they
(12:06):
just played it yesterday on the NFL Today Show or
whatever they call that Fox Sports Show. Rob Grankowski is
on the team.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
For those of you not fans of football, Rob is
one of the probably be remembered as one of the
top five tight ends in the history of the game.
Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, and Jay Glazer decided
to prank him and they did a segment where all
of them are in on the bit. The only one
who doesn't know that this is not real is Rob.
(12:39):
And do you hear the director go something like and
We're alive? In five four three two one. So Rob
is under the impression this is a live shot. We're
getting ready for the NFL today, and you know, Kurt
Menifee or whatever his name is, he comes in big
game of the week. Cowboys are back in action and
(12:59):
we have breaking news. Is that right, Jay? And Jay
says absolutely. The Cowboys have been waiting and they finally
are reactivating Rich Russo. He's been out for a while.
But we think that this is going to be a
big play in the Cowboys game plan today, the return
of the all what do they call him, an All
Pro tight end? Rich Russo is back and you see
(13:19):
Michael Strahan say that's a complete game changer for the Cowboys.
This is going to give a big break to their
quarterback who's been trying to figure out how to get
a pass game started. Also going to help out Ezekiel
Elliott in the run game because now they have a
legitimate threat that they can get the ball to. And
as they're going on and on, they're like, well, you know,
to you Rob, one of the greatest tight ends in
(13:40):
the history of the game, how do you think Russo
will affect today's game plan? And he just makes it
up off the top of his head. Well, he's been
out for a while, so I imagine he's going to be rusty.
I don't know how much they're going to be able
to activate him. They kept it straight until Bradshaw says, well,
(14:00):
and we got to remember the reason he was on
the injured reserves. He blew two fingers off his hand.
I mean, I mean, how does that How does that
affect a guy catching a pass when half your fingers
are missing, and and and there is you know, Rob
Gronkowski trying to process all this, and he's like, well,
I have all my fingers, so I don't know how
I would be able to catch the ball or whatever.
(14:21):
And that's when they all broke down laughing. And he
was and he said, I was going to say, as
soon as the segment's over, I've never heard of Richard
So who is this guy? He's an all pro tight end.
I never even heard of him. And they had like
a picture of the guy and the Cowboys jersey and
he's flexing like he just scored a touchdown. I mean,
they really put that thing together until that moment.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I think the best sports clip of this millennium.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Was letting n They say, or no, letting they say, or.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
No, that was hysterical. Many strange things happened when the
red lights are live on the camera. Yes, yeah, you
can't back up, you can't say time out. You got
to come up with something quick.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Yeah, Gronkowski thought it was live, so you can't bail.
You can't say we're taping this, so hang on a
guy a second. I don't know who Rich Russo even is.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I was thinking it was one of those players or
one of the characters in the movie North Dallas forty.
But that was Renee Russo, who was in that movie.
That's why I did the Forest Association.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
They just made up a name and sounded like it
could be an all pro tight end Rich Russo. That'll
be a sports trivia question in the future. But what
pranks have you done? I know there's some couples who
love to prank one another. You see them sometimes on
my TikTok and Instagram or whatever.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
And you know what's amazing is is that the commitment
to the prank, the commitment level to the prank sometimes
is nearly unbelievable. Now, if you got a whole cast
set up, and you've got a production crew, that can
back you up. It makes it a little bit easier.
But if you just your wife, your spouse, your son,
(16:02):
family member, brother or whatever. And some of these people prank.
The prank started like six months ago. The foundation was
set three, four or five months ago, waiting for the moment,
and then the moment springs itself. But the commitment to
the prank with some people is unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Well it's not a prank, but I don't even know
if you still do this. I just remember hearing a
story from you years ago. I think it was a
butterfinger bar or something. Oh yeah, and you would just
like hide it in each other's a mountains bar and
it would just pop up in your sock.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Track has something to do with the television show. I
wasn't even stupid to it, but the boys started it.
It would just then it just this thing was like
a cockroach. He just kept hiding then coming out every
now and.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Then and you'd find it like six months later. Yes,
and then oh you finally got it. Yeah, I was
in my boots in the closet, Yes, that I was
getting ready to go hunting in or whatever.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah, those cowboy bood has been sitting in the closet
for six months waiting on me. The prank was set
and you know, because it was a boot, you got
to stick your hand in the first to make sure
you don't have a brown recluse. And that's where the
mountains bar fell.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Is that how you do it? You put your finger into.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
You ship side down, the mountains bar falls out, and
you go, damn it. We said, when a brown recluse.
What was the commitment level? Or maybe it was just
some people are so easily gullible that you could set
them up and prank them all the time.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Well that is funny if you can just prank them
with a lie like this and then they have to
commit to it.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Or if you know people's tendencies, it's easy. Like if
you take if Sally's big on, everything goes black immediately.
Like if she pushes the button down on the toaster, okay,
and it's not clicking. Yeah, it's not working.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
A new toaster.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Who broke the toaster? Yeah, you calm down, but the
toaster's not working. Just unplugged it.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
This scated quickly, very quickly.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Well that's not funny. Plug it back in okay, sorry, Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
So you could you can prank like that.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I would write, we don't have any coffee.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
But it's like there's you know, there's people like in
this instance, he was supposed to know, right, that's his
job to know who this tight end would be.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
But there's also people pro russo what are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
There's also people who know everything, sure, and it's fun
to prank them. I haven't done it yet, but it
is fun to prank people who don't like with non
facts and tell them something oughts. It's like when Joe
Biden was you know, everybody remembers when he was with
the prostitute and he got arrested in the hotel in
nineteen ninety six. I mean, I thought that would have
(18:47):
ended his career. And you're like, oh, yeah, I totally
remember that. Yeah, I mean that that the way they
spun that. It's like that ever happens you moron.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Oh who did you prank? And how did it turn out?
Do you have a video you could share with it?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Those are always good? Yes?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
All right? So anyway, nonetheless, okay, let's talk about some
of the things going on in your neighborhood other than
the down power lines and the down trees and you know,
the chainsaws will be lulling you to sleep again tonight
as you get ready to go to bed. It's interesting
now I'm talking to people that haven't slept with their
windows open in years. Because they get a little cool
air and little circulation because the AC's off. Because the
(19:26):
power's out, you hear all kinds of things that you
you wouldn't hear normally unless you were camping out.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Yeah, I don't even have screens, so it's not possible
for me to open my window because if I do,
then all the moms come in.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
You know, that's a good question. A lot, you know,
because we're so big into air quality, A lot of
people don't even have screens. And if you have one,
you took them down the first time you had to
clean them and said, why we're gonna put them back up.
I talked to a woman who actually slept on her
patio screened in patio, and she has like a hammock
kind of thing out there, so she slept out there,
and she said it reminded me of camping out in
the mountains of North Carolina. I heard a screench and
(20:01):
you talking about listening to nature, and it felt so cool.
Out there.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I wear headphones every night to bed now and I
listen to nature, do you Yeah, so I don't have nature.
I listen to nature. Sometimes it's like a babbling brook.
Sometimes it's a rainstorm. Sometimes it's just the sounds of
the forest. There's all kinds of different sounds that are
trying to help me sleep.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yeah, I don't listen to any of that.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
You listen to the soothing sounds of Fox.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Now. I go to sleep under the warm glow of
last night. One of the was the warm glow of
MSNBC whatever news channel happens to be on when I
finally because I'll flip channels until I finally pass out.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I wish we still ran the Guy on WVOC. I'm
drawing a blanket Michael Savage And one of the greatest
promos ever made was our guy Gary down the Hall.
He created this one. You know, after a long day
at work, pour yourself your favorite beverage, settle into your
lazy boy or whatever, and listen to the soothing sounds
(20:59):
of my ankles Savage and the guy comes out. He's
just screaming about Obama. How long your paper?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I gotta butt up with the Viomen Fetter Bermit of DC.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
You know Bama is a socialistic he's screaming.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
He got still alive, believe it or not. I thought
he would have dropped out of a heart attack by now,
but he hasn't.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
That's but in my mind, that's how you go to
bed every night. You're listening to some guy just screaming
at you. The world is there.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Listening to some guy. We go talk to whatever. Congressman.
I'm like, that's the worst crap. Click, go to the
next one. Click, worse crap. He's full of crap.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Bring it. I need some heat.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Hey, what's going on in your neighborhood. We should be
talking about charge hippy phone? Even you have to go
down to the civic club. Uh bigs. Look to South
Carolina civic organizations and churches and the like that are
opening up to the community to charge phones and let

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
