Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Killy Nash, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's tomorrow show today, Tomorrow somethday, already the thirtieth. Then
we get into trick or treat Halloween, and they were
ready for game Cock football Tiger football as well. I
don't even know what time they kick off, you know what,
I'll look that up for us.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Clemson plays Saturday.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
And I understand that the twelfth Man are going to
be down again on the steps of our state House.
Is that true?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Of course they got to. They do that at every stadium.
They go around and they do their what do they
call it cheer practice or something.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Like that, The twelfth Man I have to get together
in practice or cheers.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
So Clemson looks like they have a home game Saturday night,
seven thirty Louisville, another unranked team comes to town.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Okay, So the.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
First ranked opponent for Clemson other than Georgia this year
will be in two weeks. Next week they play unranked
Virginia Tech, and then the following week they play lowly
ranked twenty first Pittsburgh. Then they'll play the Citadel in
anticipation of South Carolina. So Clempson, did I know? Clempson
(01:07):
fans are ticked? They fell two spots in the rankings
this week and they didn't even play.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
And at one point wasn't Louisville ranked Although they were low,
they were still ranked.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
They were and then they got beat like three times.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
And they were hoping that Louisville will still be ranked
by the time they played them, so it would help them, yes,
with their argument for the playoff.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
So the Cardinals got beat by Notre Dame. Let's see
who else did they got? They got beat by they
opened up. Oh that was the end of last season.
They got beat by Southern Cal. They got beat by Miami.
Not no shame in losing to Miami, and then they
got beat by SMU.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
So all right, so we do have football this weekend again,
after the absence of well at least Carolina and Clemson
football last weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yeah, everybody had the week off.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Coastal wasn't happy either. So so now let's see tomorrow,
let's talk about what we're gonna do to get over
the hump.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, well, let's see when we when we think about
the hump, what are we thinking about? Let me go
to our morning Rush blog. By the way, we already
have the answer up for you. Kit more concert tickets.
Kit More will be at the Senate in Colombia next Thursday.
You can win not only two tickets, but then be
entered into the grand prize drawing to meet Kit Moore.
(02:24):
And the word of the day, I have.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Not cheated and looked at it.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Lugubrious, lugubrious, lugubrious, lugubrious. Now that's spelled l u g
I don't know if that helps you. Uh l it's
not l a, but it's pronounced la goobus, so it's
it's spelled l u g u b r i o
(02:49):
u s leguble.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
It's it's uh.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It's exuberant, excessively mournful, unable to refrain from great sorrow.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
How did you even get a centaem?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yes, I was.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I was one hundred and eight. I was as far
as from the east as from the west.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
If you miss the Kitmore concert, you'll be lugubrious. So
you don't have to miss it. I'm not going to
get one of these this week. You can win your
and we just like you said, we just gave you
the answer. Or if you forget lugubrious in the definition,
you can go to the Morning Rest Blog ninety seventy
five to b CUS dot com.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Get it there, and we always relate this to Game
Cup football. I certainly hope I'm not lugubrious.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yes, we expect to send cheerleaders from A and M.
Yes home lugubrious. That would be great to see that happen.
It'll be a long lugubrious flight home.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
And unfortunately, the crusher, I'm told, is not able to
make my trip this year.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
The crusher has not worked in many weeks.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Many weeks has been down. I had a request yesterday
that I circled the state House again blasting sandstorm from
the crusher. The crusher is not able to make it
around the state. We could have it toad. I could
call a tow truck friend of mine.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Why I mean you could also walk down there with
a boombox and walk around.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
The I That would guarantee that we could get somebody
in management to spend some money on the crush. Here.
If I embarrassed us all by having me towed around
the state House, that would be expensive.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
To get the crusher toad.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
You got to get the big truck.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, that's not a standard tow truck deal. That's great,
Jonathan let me introduce you to Phil Faust. He's a
retired builder. Had a great career, he said, as a builder,
and now he no longer has to work a little
later in life. Recently drove about one hundred miles to
Waaburger's grand opening in Spartanburg. According to the Posting Courier,
(04:50):
he had to duck out a church early on Sunday
morning to get to the Waaburger in Spartanburg around eleven am.
He wanted to be there at eleven am because they
opened at eleven am on Monday. He said, you needed
to be twenty four hours in advance in order to
get you would be picked as the guy who wins
(05:11):
the fifty two free Waaburger cards.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
So, sleeping outside.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Knowing he's going to be there for twenty four hours,
he leaves church early.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Had to leave church early because I don't know what
time church started, but he had to be on the
road no later. It's about a ninety minute drive, which
means you had to be on the road by about
nine thirty to get there at eleven am.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Now I know that the water Burgers have made quite
a splash in the Upstate.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Well, they let me bring you to. September ninth, AOL
reports first in line at the Waaburger grand opening in Ermo,
Phil Faust of Columbia. Phil has done this twenty times.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Phil loves he loves the challenge. Get there first and
stick it out, don't leave. You got to be in
your car a twenty four hour.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
The first time he did it was a little over
a decade ago at the grand opening for a Chick
fil A. So more than twenty grand openings, he was
first in line now and he loves it. He loves
sleeping outside on the sidewalk, the anticipation, the possibility of
winning a great prize like fifty two free hamburgers. And
(06:21):
like he said, I'm not even going to keep these cards.
He's given most of them. He says to the kids
in the choir.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
It's a very charitable effort. He's working hard for the youngsters.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
But he's not doing it, he says, I'm not. He's
doing it because he likes it. The prize is something different.
He just like he would do it for nothing. He
just wants to be the first in line. And he
has a crazy looking outfit that he's wearing. In the
two or three photos I've seen at him from some
different locations where it's like one's got like a massive
(06:51):
gold chain on and so I don't know, there's a
costume apparently involved in the waiting outside. What have you
waited for and was it worth it? Like for example,
I don't know if it's still a thing, like a
big thing, but it used to be a big thing
as recently as five ten years ago, the wait in
line for Black Friday shopping. People would go out at
(07:14):
like midnight and just stand in front of a target
waiting for the four am we're opening the doors type
of thing.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I think the biggest remorse for anything that I waited for,
and I can't think of many things that I would
stand in line like we did for this one. It
we actually did it as a contest and one of
the Russian regulars would not have to stand in line,
so we took all the available interns and we hired
a couple of people. It got a little pricey to
do this on the radio, but it was the rolling
(07:43):
Stone Steel Wheels Tour. Now, this was way back in
the day when you had to buy your tickets in person,
and we actually gave away spots, so if you were
the station employee and you were already standing alone, would
take caller ten and you got to take Kelly. Kelly's
(08:04):
just standing the line where you got to take him
the money. We're just saving you the trouble of having
a wait line. But I remember waiting in that line
for like eight hours.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I wish because this whole dynamic pricing with Ticketmaster is
in flipping sane and I can't believe that it's come
to this. And we've talked about it, maybe briefly with
the with the soccer match that they had here in Columbia. Yeah,
and they tripled the prices within an hour, within it
(08:34):
and they can't do that if you're standing in line
and think of it. And by the way, according to
some estimates, eighty percent of those tickets went to scalpers. Sure,
so they have set up bots to call or to
get in line, I should say, on these, you know,
on the websites, and then they'll buy as many as
(08:56):
they can buy. But it's a bot, it's not even
a human being. Your compete with bots that are driving
up the prices due to quote unquote dynamic pricing. It
would be so much better if we got rid of
all of that and just said, do you want to
what you want to?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Go see?
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Whatever? Get up, go stand in line. And I would
hire Phil Faust from Columbia because he seems to love it.
He would be the guy to hire. But what else
have you ever stood in line for?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And it sounds like it does it all for the youth.
So you could actually probably write him a check for
his time and write it out to his church and
get a tax deduction out of it. Now, look at me.
I would twist it in such a way to get
a tax deduction, wouldn't I?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Yeah, yeah, I would. But Phil, he says, the reward
is the line. The reward is just sleeping out overnight.
Like I guess if you just told them, hey, make
pretend that this door is not open, it's going to
be open in two days. Go sleep in front of
the Chick fil A beginning Saturday night, you know, like
midnight when they close. You could have the spot to
(09:58):
yourself all day Sunday and Monday.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I hope that water Burger is good. I have not
eaten at a water Burger yet. I don't know. We
have midlands and locations, but I have not. My friends
in the Upstate of Raven over the water Burger. I
got to go to the water Burger.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I actually don't care for the water burger. I've had
it several times, and it's like I don't care about
smash burger. I No, I don't care about any It's
a hamburger. It's a hamburger.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Where I was where there were water burgers from Los
Angeles to wherever. I never went out of my way
to make sure I went to a waterburger. I just
know celebrities like them, or I think celebrities like Donald
Trump likes McDonald's, so that is his food of choice.
I think Britney spears like Del Taco. It's like, you know,
we know way too much about these people when we
(10:40):
know what their favorite fast food is.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Do you think she still eats fast food? Britney spears
because she's lost a ton of weight. I have not
kept up with her weight loss. I mean she's you know,
she's got the like the eight pack abs back.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Oh okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
So I'm assuming that that whatever her fast food of
choice was, that that has gone away.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Now I can tell you that waiting for the steels
Wheel Tour, although you know, obviously like millions. I'm a
Rolling Stones fan. That was not a good tour, not
a good show.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Well, I can tell you that I was blown. That's
one of the greatest memories of my life was working
at the Toad's Place Saturday night dance party, and all
of a sudden, the guy who runs the place comes
up and tells me make an announcement. We're closing the
doors in fifteen minutes. Anybody wants to stay can stay,
but if you decide to stay, you have to be
(11:30):
here for an hour and a half minimum. And he
wouldn't tell me what it was about. And I made
the announcement, see, of course yeah, And then I saw
don If you're not in the industry, you wouldn't know
who Donnie Einer was. But Donnie Einer walked through the
doors and I was like, what the hell is Donnie
Einer down here?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Happened?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
He was a huge executive at Sony Slash Columbia. And
when I saw Donnie Einer, I said, whatever's about to happen?
I actually thought it was going to be Billy Joel.
And then all of a sudden, fat black guy gets
up on stage at Toad's Place. There's maybe six hundred,
seven hundred people there, and he just says, ladies and gentlemen,
the world's greatest rock and roll band, the Rolling Stones,
(12:09):
and he walks off stage and you're like, he's messing
with us. And the first one I saw was Keith
Richards walking out and I was like, oh my god.
And then there's Mick Jagger doing and it's like, there's
only six hundred of us. It's like it's a private concert,
and it was, I guess nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Can you imagine if you walked out the door then
you heard about it later.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I'm sure they told people they were there. I'm surely.
Of course I didn't leave.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I would I leave.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
That was I knew the Stones were coming. There's no
way you knew the Rolling Stones were coming. Apparently the
Stones are great.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
That particular tour I think was any good, and I
think they changed up the song set about three shows
into it because they were hearing some of the complaints.
Everybody shows up at a Stone show to hear the
Stone your favorite Stone song, not the new material on
the Steel Wills album, which offered no hits.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Ironically, those guys in the Rolling Stones, I think three
of the four were living in Connecticut to escape high taxes. Wow,
And Mick Jagger even said all he was.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Like, we had to move to Connecticut to be with
y'all because in England they're freaking crazy. It's like ninety
percent taxes, right, So he was like he was loving
the fact that he was only paying like thirty five
or back then, I think it was about forty five
percent of his money.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Yeah, went to taxes. So he doubled his money just
by getting a mansion in Connecticut.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
He's probably living in Florida. I imagine these days.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Well, all the golfers live in Florida. Yeah, it's always
good weather to golf.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Yeah, Texas is another good one.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
That's true. All right, we got all that you what
would you wait in line for or what did you
wait in line for? Or were you the first because
we've done those contests where you know, we announced the
grand opening him for the first hundred people or whatever,
and Chick fil A does it like for the first hundred,
so they don't tax your time or make you jump
through an incredible hoop. That's incredible hoop. This guy had
to be number one in line because number two through
(14:04):
like number one hundred got a much smaller prize from Waburger.
I remember the article.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Correct, just reading. I think actually number two got it too,
as some eighteen year old kid one, and then they
showed him with some like fifty five year old guy.
This guy looks like I'm guessing he's about seventy okay,
the retired builder and he just does this for fun.
And again, like you said, I don't think he's he's
he's probably gonna eat three of these free hamburgers. Yeah,
(14:30):
he just gives them away. He just he just likes
to be competition. Maybe that's what it is. Like Shane
Diemer talks about competition. This guy wants to go against
the best.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
He wants to compete. That's good, that's probably the motivating factor.
And maybe he'll call in tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah, he lives here in Columbia this right, So if
you happen to know Phil Faust, let him know we're
yapping about him tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Hey, what's what's going on in your neighborhood we should
be talking about. You're all prepped up for Halloween. I've
seen more and more houses now with their decorationations, and
I saw I wondered because we had a morning Rush
regular talk about somebody who's sealing the skeletons. I think
it was out impillion, could have been a Swansea. There's
been a guy who literally David mentioned this to me yesterday.
There's been a guy who's literally had one of those
(15:14):
huge skeleton things from last Halloween stayed in his backyard
all year long. Okay, and now it's gone. Now, how
could that Why would that possibly be that somebody stole thieves, criminals,
ruining Halloween. Look, trigger treat. It's not till Thursday. If
they don't give you the treat, any let me treat
(15:35):
a treat, then you do the trick. You get this
backwards and way too far in advance. That's pretty Doug Faust.
But you get in there early. Hey, what's happened in
your neighborhood. You know how to reach out to us
a SOUSE meeting. You can also email us. I am
Rushing at ninety seven five, but you seal us dot com.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
And I'm Nash at ninety seven five dot com.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
We start talking tomorrow. You start talking on the same
numbers where you start winning the six thirty four. What
you talk about for kit Moore tickets at eight oh
three nine seven eight nine two six seven eight oh
three nine seven eight w COS
