Morning Rest Blog. I'll tell to you in a second.
Let's see how Jonathan does today. The word is mel drop,
mel drop, M M like marie E L D r
O P mel drop. I will add I find this
(01:36):
disgusting mel drop.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
This is a medical term having to do with donal rhea.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I don't. I mean, I'm not going to rule that out.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I said it was disgusting.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Because it's the term. Mel drop is a drop of
mucus hanging from your nose, whether caused by a cold
or anything else that is nasty. We've all had a
melt drop. You try to ignore it while you're doing something,
but then invariably, it seems like every time you have
a mel drop, somebody comes up to talk to you,
(02:12):
and now you know it's just hanging there.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Kids kids think it's sugar because they try to gross.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
That is filthy, but it is. It is mel drop season.
Today is a great day for melt drop.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Well, you're gonna get some bell drop happening.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I'm gonna be playing tennis tonight. Allegedly it's gonna be
like thirty five degrees when I'm playing tennis. That's insane.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
You may have mel Jettison, melt Jennison Jettison. It just
shoots out, oh, because if you're playing like which, which? Which?
One of the girls always oh.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
That was what's her face back in the day?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
And she she don't Who got stabbed? I think so
Stephanie Graff maybe from German. I think she was from
Germany and some fan was obsessed with her, ran out
on the court and stabbed her. Golly, that was not
really thought.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I had to handle all that before that.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I don't think she thought it was coming. She did
not believe that that's what the fan was going to do,
serving up a knife. That's another reason why you're not
allowed to get close to celebrities, because nobody knows what
you're gonna do once you get there. And you look
back days they used to let people run up on
the stage and hug singers and stuff. You're not hugging.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Nobody, no, no, no, no, you're not running anywhere. No, sir.
And you know that's a great self defense device that
is non aggressive. Okay, it's visual. Okay. If you're walking
into a store, walking across the parking lot, just carry
a tennis racket with you. Oh yeah, somebody comes up,
just swing away.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I mean it would hurt. It would definitely hurt, right,
And I usually hit things with the frame, not the stringing.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Anyway, absolutely started vertical hit with the frame.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
You hit him with the frame. That's pretty painful. Other
things that we've got going on, I think tomorrow we're
going to bring back the thing that we talked about
on yesterday's podcast, the idea of buying something in a
variety pack because it's at a discount, even though there's
(04:19):
a flavor in the variety pack you don't like. Is
that a good move or a bad move? And I
break it down in the posting that we have on
the Morning Rush blog a little bit more in depth.
And I did crunch the numbers. So if you're wondering,
like on mine in particular my energy drink, if you
(04:41):
buy them in the variety pack at Sam's Club, you
get eighteen cans for nineteen dollars. If you don't buy
the variety pack. If you just buy eighteen, it's thirty
two dollars. But then again, you're going to like all
of the ones that you get. My sister in law's
argument was she would she doesn't want to throw away anything.
(05:05):
I pointed out that mathematically, you're paying a dollar ninety
per can. Even if I threw away the sixth that
I don't like, just so I only get twelve for nineteen,
I'm still only paying a dollar sixty, so I'm saving
thirty cents per can even if I throw six away.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
The one that I thought about after we talked about
it yesterday was when you go to Sam's Club. Sally
likes to get the smaller packs of gator Rade, and
she likes two of the three in the variety pack.
She didn't like the whatever the white one is, Iceberg
something whatever it is. But I get the variety.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Pack, and you like. I will drink things we don't
even like.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Sure, I'm not worry because if I'm out working or something,
I'll drink it just because i want the hydration. I'm
not worried about the taste.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yeah, but I'll, like I said, I'll eat the variety
pack oatmeal ones that I don't like, I'll have the
there's like a candy package thing. I'll eat the candy
bar that I don't like in there, whatever it is.
If we can save money, I'll suffer through the thing.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
This is the one where there's a benefit. There's one
that there's one or two when they're that you like.
It's not like just buying a discount brand of Ravioli.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
No, and it's not a discount brand. It's the thing
that you like. But like I said, for me, on
that energy drink, there's there's three flavors. You get six
cans of each. I like two of the three. I
suffer through the third Peach. I don't like peach, but
I'll drink, you know, every third day with my breakfast,
I'll drink the peach and go this is today's the
(06:35):
peach day. I don't I gotta get through it. But
I'm not paying full price if I don't have to.
But we'll have that discussion tomorrow. And now I'm surprised
that is she quit. Jenna Bush Hagar, that's George Bush's daughter.
We's been on the Today Show for gosh. I guess ever,
it feels like two thousand and nine I think she
(06:57):
said she joined and she was for some reason, I
guess on yesterday's show talking about what it's like, and
I guess Hoda is Hoda? Is that how you're saying?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Hoda left?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
She's been replaced by Craig Melvin, and I guess it
sounds like she's leaving for new roles starting in January,
so maybe she's letting her hair down a little bit
here Jenna. And Jenna says that when she joined, they
said love you, but you cannot say y'all, and she
(07:36):
argued with them that y'all is just part of who
she is and growing up in Texas and all that
sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Are you going to stop saying y'all after you grew
up saying y'all?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
And then they said it doesn't translate to America. Americans
are offended or just don't feel comfortable or whatever. So
she hasn't said y'all on TV. I guess she started
doing it recently in the last several years as because
she's been there against since nine, so they started giving
her more and more leeway to be her own personality.
(08:09):
But I mean, I'm not from the South, obviously, I'm
from Connecticut. But I never had a problem with y'all.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I found up and used guys, use guys.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah, I like these little I don't know, they're not
local per se because they're more geographical. They're like, yeah,
like you know, the people in the Midwest they call it.
Sometimes they'll call it pop instead of soda. I find
it endearing and if that's who you really are, I
(08:42):
think that's it's now. I hate it when politicians do it.
Politician tries to fit in with the audience. I despise it.
Stop it, yes, stop it. Don't do that.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You're not southern or you lived in our consol but
it didn't take.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Or you're not northern, or you're not Californian or whatever.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
You're willing to knock it off.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Okay, I wasn't gonna call out names.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I'll think of a Republican here in a minute.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Well, it's like when they go to the fair, right,
and you'll see somebody like Mitt Romney wearing a flannel shirt,
which you know it was bought an hour before he
put it on.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, you still see the fold wrinkles. Yeah, this came
out of the packet.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Did you take that price tag off? Make it a
little more believable, you know, and they're at the some
sort of axe throwing competition or something. You have no
interest in this. To act like you do is so disingenuous.
I love it. So, you know what, Now we're going.
Now we're into the political world. Donald Trump one time,
(09:50):
this would have been I think twenty fifteen, maybe twenty sixteen,
he came to a bikers event, motorcycle bikers, right, they're
all there and they're like, you know, the leather vests
with their biker game, and they're doing some sort of
charity fundraiser, much like what you're going to be doing.
(10:12):
Is it this.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Sunday Sunday that's ride.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
So all these bikers are there, Donald Trump comes up
and addresses them in a suit and tie. He's not
changing a damn thing, and then he insults them to
their face. You guys, you love your motorcycles. I quite
frankly hate them. I would never ride on them. They're loud,
(10:37):
they're disgusting. But you like them, and I prefer limos.
I like being in back of limos and they and
they loved him. They went nuts for him. That you do,
you do you right, and if you're authentic to who
you are. I think you're gonna just find a lot
more people like you, and so I'm sorry that Jenna
(10:58):
bush Hagger was not allowed to be her for ten
or fifteen years on the Today Show.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
You think they had the same talk with Craig, he
might say, y'all because he's in South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Is Craig a y'all kind of guy?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I don't know. I don't know Craig will enough to
know that.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I've only spoken with him like maybe three or four
times in my whole life, and none of those conversations
went more than five minutes. YEA, so grand total, I've
had fifteen minutes of discussion with Craig and he probably
doesn't remember any of them. But I don't remember him
speaking with southernisms. I think he was more I think
Craig probably came up in an era where if you
(11:35):
want it to be a national news person like he
apparently he's always wanted you start working early on getting
rid of you want to have what I think they
called the Ohio accent. That's right, believe it or not.
That's apparently people in Ohio. If you were to go
outside of the country and ask what an American is
supposed to sound like Ohio has nailed it. They obviously
(11:58):
are familiar with Boston in New York and Philadelphia, and
and you can even tell in the South there's like
the sophisticated Southern accent and the redneck Southern accent, and
then the Texas has a little bit something. You have
all these different varieties of American speak, but Ohio is
(12:20):
the one that the world recognizes as the perfect diction.
We are not we have a zero accent in Ohio.
And so I think Craig worked on that, probably beginning
in like middle school, probably, and he wanted to be
and look at the I mean, look at the incredible
success this guy's happened. I was reading about his contract.
He was already making like two and a half million
(12:43):
a year and they doubled it.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Well, now he's got to show up five days a week.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Oh, there's only a million dollars per day, poor Craig.
I guess it was about a million dollars a day
before because he was working Saturday at Sunday. And so
now he's going to five days a week. So now
it's five million a year. So he'll be all right.
I mean, he's obviously more than al right, he's a
superstar now. But anyway, have you had people try to
(13:15):
change who you are.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
To what was the guy? Meet the press? Russ Tim
Russer Rusher spotted him, found to be a super star,
discovered him, Yeah, brought him to I think it was
Channel four DC got him that job, and then things
just really took off for him there. And I think
that's where he met his wife, the ESPN broadcaster, and
(13:39):
she was like the sports person at that channel, I believe,
And she's beautiful and they've got to be family going
up there in Connecticut, and he's living the dream. And
you know that's I love it when you're a if
you have a dream as like a twelve year old
or whatever. I don't know when Craig's dreams started, but
by the time I met him, which would have been
two thousand five, he was very well into that I'm
(14:05):
going to be a national newsperson dream.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
He wasn't. He was just a wis guy who had
just come off Craigcam at that point. But it Craig
Cam was rocking early two thousands, two thousand and five,
I think they had ended that segment and he was
like their regular news anchor at that point. But I
love this idea that somebody has a vision and they say,
I want to be inserts whatever that is, a surgeon,
(14:33):
I want to be a world renowned whatever. If you
chase it. I mean, there's certain things that you can't do.
Like you know, if you're a bad If your dream
is to be a basketball player and you're under six
' four, it's almost impossible. It's almost impossible to begin with.
But some of the one of the requirements you need
is height. It's like ninety nine point three percent of
(14:55):
NBA players since nineteen eighty have been over six foot four.
There now there are you can point to like three
or four guys.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Everybody knows them by name too, because they are the anomaly.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yes, I mean, if you're spud Web and you're five
to nine or whatever and you can still dunk a basketball, right,
maybe you might, I don't know. But even then it's
really hard for them to play. But I'm not talking
about a physical thing per se, unless you have that
natural physical gift that hit a golf ball or tennis ball,
whatever it is. But if you say, I want it
to be a world renowned chef or a world renowned veterinarian,
(15:30):
or a world renowned radio personality or a television news
anchor or whatever. You can chase that dream and most
will not get there. They'll do they'll do well, but
they won't be that individual. But Craig Melvin chased it
and got it.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I heard Sylvester Stallone speaking of that. Hannity last night
was promoting an interview with Silvester Stallone. I'm like, wonder
what inspired this.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I know that Stallone is a huge Trump guy and
they probably were hanging out together at mar Alago because
I saw Stallone post some video he was the mar
A Lago dinner.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
But this was to promote a new Fox Nation video
podcast called Sean. It's not called Hannity. Oh we have
a show called Sean Yes, and we spell that s
a N yes and he does interviews or we'll be
doing interviews long form, kind of casual. And Sylvester Stallone
(16:31):
was talking about the embodiment of Rocky and why it
was so relatable. It's because it doesn't matter what your
background is or what your profession is, if you're an
attorney or whatever. There's there was that relatability of Sylvester
Stallone chasing a dream and he actually got the shot,
he got the opportunity, and Stallone says, there's so many
(16:54):
people that are trapped in their dream because they don't
have that. They don't they didn't get the shot, they
didn't get the opportunity mentioned I think in this a
physical aspect, say, if you're a track runner, you know,
if you had to, if you at least got on
the platform, you get the shot, image you come in last,
then you'd know, you know, I gave it up my
all and I can move on to something else. But
you live in this nearly suffocating, frustrating, oppressive feeling of
(17:21):
not ever getting a shot. So you're right, I mean,
Craig Melvin was preparing himself and he got his shot,
and he's done very well, and certainly one of South
Carolina is more notable.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, he's I mean, you know, put Darius Rutger up there.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I mean, we've had a couple of folks that came
out of the South Carolina region who have done very well.
Very few though, have gone on to be like what
Craig Melvin and Darius Rutcker are, which are internationally known
like Craig right now, Craig Melvin. They're talking about him
in London. They know who Craig is all around the world.
They know Darius Rutger is all around the world. We
(17:59):
can look at oh what's his name? We always uh,
we joke because he never calls us back. The guy
who he played football for Clempson, the country singer, Yes,
Lee Bryce Lee Brice. Lee Brice is known in the
country circle.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Sure, but if you will not call.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Us for some reason. I mean we literally had like
four phone interviews with this guy and we.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Just he blew us off every time.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Now he has called us back, but it was like
at noon, yeah, and it's like, well, we're not on bro.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yeah, I'm at home. I'm having a lunch taking it up.
But tell him we'll call him tomorrow. But always not available, Okay,
tell him we'll catch him next time. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
And maybe that's part of the reason why Lee Brice
never became more than a pretty popular country singer is
maybe he wasn't as devoted as Craig Melvin was. Maybe
he and it's hard to stay motivating.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Greig Melvin has said, hey, you're going to be on
the podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
He'll be on the podcast I find I imagine I'm not.
I've never been in that situation where you have more
money than you know what to do with. Craig Melvin's
probably at that level now where he is making.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Oh he's not doing it for the money.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah, he's doing He's got a ton of dough, his
wife makes a ton of dough. Everybody, there's money all
around him. He doesn't need it, but yet he still
works very hard. Sure, and it's not just at my job.
It's at promoting my job, promoting my quote unquote brand
to stay that motivated. And maybe that's why Lee Bryce.
When Lee Bryce had a couple of number one hits
(19:27):
or whatever, he's like, I'm a multimillionaire. I don't have
to do anything but go to the way we call
it the mailbox money. I've written hits, so he doesn't
have to do anything else. So maybe that's part of
the problem is it's hard to stay motivated if you've
already had a certain level of success that really can't
be taken away from you, like they Lee Brice will
(19:48):
be financially set, I'm assuming for the rest of his
life now because of the hits that he's already.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Had speaking of the notables. I had somebody bumping to
me at the grocery store. Came up and introduced himself.
I'd never met. He's like Airport's brother. I don't believe
I have either, and introduced himself.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I had dinner with her parents. Obviously the mom has
is that the dad has passed, the mom passed. One
of them passed recently. Maybe they both have past.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Both passed now, but the dad passed recently.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Okay, and they both at the time, this was several
years ago, were members at the Wildwood Club and so
we're sitting there, you know, just they're at my table.
I don't know them, they don't know me. And then
somebody says, well, this is Kelly Nash, and I think
it was The dad goes, oh, he doesn't know w Or.
He didn't no WCS, he's from WVOC and he was like,
(20:40):
I love listening to the rash thoughts. And he starts
going into the politics, and then I was like, oh,
that's great. You know, sometimes you meet people who are
like your political commentaries or whatever, and then somebody goes, well,
you know who this guy is, and I'm like, I
think it was Bill and I'm like Bill and they're like,
his daughter is Ainsley Earhart. Ah Okay, I didn't realize
(21:01):
y'all were members of the Wildwood Club. And it was
funny because I had gone to New York for Christmas.
I'd gone to Connecticut for Christmas, but I ended up
in New York. This was probably like six years ago,
and I don't I think Ainsley had come to do
a She had like a kid's book at the time
(21:21):
that she promoted at one of the malls, and my
wife and I went out. My wife is a huge fan,
so we went and met her there just like part
of the general public. And somebody mentioned, well, this is
Kelly Nash from w COS is what they said. And
she remembered the country station and she was like, Oh,
that's so cool, blah blah blah. If you're ever in
(21:42):
New York, let me know. And I said, as luck
would have it, we're going to be there in like
three months. She said, well, let me give you my
assistant's name and number blah blah blah and text her
with your information. We'll make sure you get on Fox
and Friends. And so I had when I met her, Dad,
I was like, your daughter just me up maybe six
months ago we had the VIP tour, sat on the
(22:05):
white couch, hung out with all these people. She's an
amazing person and blah blah blah, and he was like, Oh,
I'm so glad she did that for you. I'm like,
it's funny how their you know, this family is now
like interlinked with me and I never even knew you
people before, but it all happened so quickly.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
But it was very sad that her dad had passed
and so and then uh what was the other thing?
I just had another notable kind of mind. I can't
remember who it was now, Okay, never mind, not as
notable as I thought obviously.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I mean, we've had a bunch of them though out
of this area. But again to the to the point
that Stallone was making, you need the shot, but then
you also need to capitalize.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
You'll get a prep for it.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
How many people have we never heard of who got
their shot?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Like whatever? Do you ever see the movie? I think
it's called Broadcast News. Uh, one of my there's a
scene in Broadcast News is one of my favorite scenes
of all time where the guy desperately wants to be
the anchor and they're gonna let him. He's a great
news reporter. They're gonna let him anchor a weekend newscast
because somebody else is sick or something. And he comes
(23:15):
down with a case of the sweats, ohez and they
like between like when he throws it to the news like,
we're gonna go to uh, you know Bill Johnson who's
reporting jo us and I ran and then they during
that like segment, they're like got a fan on them.
They're putting towels on and then like people are like
calling you, are you seeing what's happening over here on
(23:35):
Channel three right now?
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I saw that happen this morning. They went to a
girl in MSNBC for a report and she totally just
I mean she blanked out.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Oh that's brutal.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, she just for like five seconds she was like
uh uh uh uh and the host had to jump
back in and savor and I'm like, well that when
that that when that job. She will will never know
her name. No, she'll never I mean, that'll be the
end of the crumbled. And they went to her again
and she lost it again.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
And so there's thousands of people who've gotten that shot.
That couldn't capitalize on it.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Few.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
It's the rare few, like a Craig Melvin or a
Darius Rucker or Tnever who get the right break and
have the skill and the preparation to take advantage of it.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Yeah, the ever popular overnight success are always guys who
have been honing that for ten years. Oh my gosh, yeah,
how many? How many Nashville artists have been called it
overnight success? They've been out on the road for ten years.
They got the Nashville and we got the break and boom.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Who are we just talking to a couple of weeks
ago and he was saying that I'm trying to remember
his name now, but he was talking to us aboutw
he's bigger in Europe than he is in America. And
he was going to play at the Senate that night.
That's why we had him on to promote his show
at the Senate. And I can't remember his name right now,
but and we said something about, well, you kind of
(24:52):

(01:14):
Morning Rest Blog. I'll tell to you in a second.
Let's see how Jonathan does today. The word is mel drop,
mel drop, M M like marie E L D r
O P mel drop. I will add I find this
(01:36):
disgusting mel drop.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
This is a medical term having to do with donal rhea.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I don't. I mean, I'm not going to rule that out.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I said it was disgusting.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Because it's the term. Mel drop is a drop of
mucus hanging from your nose, whether caused by a cold
or anything else that is nasty. We've all had a
melt drop. You try to ignore it while you're doing something,
but then invariably, it seems like every time you have
a mel drop, somebody comes up to talk to you,
(02:12):
and now you know it's just hanging there.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Kids kids think it's sugar because they try to gross.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
That is filthy, but it is. It is mel drop season.
Today is a great day for melt drop.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Well, you're gonna get some bell drop happening.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I'm gonna be playing tennis tonight. Allegedly it's gonna be
like thirty five degrees when I'm playing tennis. That's insane.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
You may have mel Jettison, melt Jennison Jettison. It just
shoots out, oh, because if you're playing like which, which? Which?
One of the girls always oh.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
That was what's her face back in the day?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
And she she don't Who got stabbed? I think so
Stephanie Graff maybe from German. I think she was from
Germany and some fan was obsessed with her, ran out
on the court and stabbed her. Golly, that was not
really thought.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I had to handle all that before that.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I don't think she thought it was coming. She did
not believe that that's what the fan was going to do,
serving up a knife. That's another reason why you're not
allowed to get close to celebrities, because nobody knows what
you're gonna do once you get there. And you look
back days they used to let people run up on
the stage and hug singers and stuff. You're not hugging.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Nobody, no, no, no, no, you're not running anywhere. No, sir.
And you know that's a great self defense device that
is non aggressive. Okay, it's visual. Okay. If you're walking
into a store, walking across the parking lot, just carry
a tennis racket with you. Oh yeah, somebody comes up,
just swing away.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I mean it would hurt. It would definitely hurt, right,
And I usually hit things with the frame, not the stringing.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Anyway, absolutely started vertical hit with the frame.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
You hit him with the frame. That's pretty painful. Other
things that we've got going on, I think tomorrow we're
going to bring back the thing that we talked about
on yesterday's podcast, the idea of buying something in a
variety pack because it's at a discount, even though there's
(04:19):
a flavor in the variety pack you don't like. Is
that a good move or a bad move? And I
break it down in the posting that we have on
the Morning Rush blog a little bit more in depth.
And I did crunch the numbers. So if you're wondering,
like on mine in particular my energy drink, if you
(04:41):
buy them in the variety pack at Sam's Club, you
get eighteen cans for nineteen dollars. If you don't buy
the variety pack. If you just buy eighteen, it's thirty
two dollars. But then again, you're going to like all
of the ones that you get. My sister in law's
argument was she would she doesn't want to throw away anything.
(05:05):
I pointed out that mathematically, you're paying a dollar ninety
per can. Even if I threw away the sixth that
I don't like, just so I only get twelve for nineteen,
I'm still only paying a dollar sixty, so I'm saving
thirty cents per can even if I throw six away.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
The one that I thought about after we talked about
it yesterday was when you go to Sam's Club. Sally
likes to get the smaller packs of gator Rade, and
she likes two of the three in the variety pack.
She didn't like the whatever the white one is, Iceberg
something whatever it is. But I get the variety.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Pack, and you like. I will drink things we don't
even like.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Sure, I'm not worry because if I'm out working or something,
I'll drink it just because i want the hydration. I'm
not worried about the taste.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yeah, but I'll, like I said, I'll eat the variety
pack oatmeal ones that I don't like, I'll have the
there's like a candy package thing. I'll eat the candy
bar that I don't like in there, whatever it is.
If we can save money, I'll suffer through the thing.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
This is the one where there's a benefit. There's one
that there's one or two when they're that you like.
It's not like just buying a discount brand of Ravioli.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
No, and it's not a discount brand. It's the thing
that you like. But like I said, for me, on
that energy drink, there's there's three flavors. You get six
cans of each. I like two of the three. I
suffer through the third Peach. I don't like peach, but
I'll drink, you know, every third day with my breakfast,
I'll drink the peach and go this is today's the
(06:35):
peach day. I don't I gotta get through it. But
I'm not paying full price if I don't have to.
But we'll have that discussion tomorrow. And now I'm surprised
that is she quit. Jenna Bush Hagar, that's George Bush's daughter.
We's been on the Today Show for gosh. I guess ever,
it feels like two thousand and nine I think she
(06:57):
said she joined and she was for some reason, I
guess on yesterday's show talking about what it's like, and
I guess Hoda is Hoda? Is that how you're saying?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Hoda left?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
She's been replaced by Craig Melvin, and I guess it
sounds like she's leaving for new roles starting in January,
so maybe she's letting her hair down a little bit
here Jenna. And Jenna says that when she joined, they
said love you, but you cannot say y'all, and she
(07:36):
argued with them that y'all is just part of who
she is and growing up in Texas and all that
sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Are you going to stop saying y'all after you grew
up saying y'all?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
And then they said it doesn't translate to America. Americans
are offended or just don't feel comfortable or whatever. So
she hasn't said y'all on TV. I guess she started
doing it recently in the last several years as because
she's been there against since nine, so they started giving
her more and more leeway to be her own personality.
(08:09):
But I mean, I'm not from the South, obviously, I'm
from Connecticut. But I never had a problem with y'all.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I found up and used guys, use guys.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah, I like these little I don't know, they're not
local per se because they're more geographical. They're like, yeah,
like you know, the people in the Midwest they call it.
Sometimes they'll call it pop instead of soda. I find
it endearing and if that's who you really are, I
(08:42):
think that's it's now. I hate it when politicians do it.
Politician tries to fit in with the audience. I despise it.
Stop it, yes, stop it. Don't do that.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You're not southern or you lived in our consol but
it didn't take.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Or you're not northern, or you're not Californian or whatever.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
You're willing to knock it off.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Okay, I wasn't gonna call out names.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I'll think of a Republican here in a minute.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Well, it's like when they go to the fair, right,
and you'll see somebody like Mitt Romney wearing a flannel shirt,
which you know it was bought an hour before he
put it on.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, you still see the fold wrinkles. Yeah, this came
out of the packet.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Did you take that price tag off? Make it a
little more believable, you know, and they're at the some
sort of axe throwing competition or something. You have no
interest in this. To act like you do is so disingenuous.
I love it. So, you know what, Now we're going.
Now we're into the political world. Donald Trump one time,
(09:50):
this would have been I think twenty fifteen, maybe twenty sixteen,
he came to a bikers event, motorcycle bikers, right, they're
all there and they're like, you know, the leather vests
with their biker game, and they're doing some sort of
charity fundraiser, much like what you're going to be doing.
(10:12):
Is it this.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Sunday Sunday that's ride.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
So all these bikers are there, Donald Trump comes up
and addresses them in a suit and tie. He's not
changing a damn thing, and then he insults them to
their face. You guys, you love your motorcycles. I quite
frankly hate them. I would never ride on them. They're loud,
(10:37):
they're disgusting. But you like them, and I prefer limos.
I like being in back of limos and they and
they loved him. They went nuts for him. That you do,
you do you right, and if you're authentic to who
you are. I think you're gonna just find a lot
more people like you, and so I'm sorry that Jenna
(10:58):
bush Hagger was not allowed to be her for ten
or fifteen years on the Today Show.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
You think they had the same talk with Craig, he
might say, y'all because he's in South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Is Craig a y'all kind of guy?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I don't know. I don't know Craig will enough to
know that.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I've only spoken with him like maybe three or four
times in my whole life, and none of those conversations
went more than five minutes. YEA, so grand total, I've
had fifteen minutes of discussion with Craig and he probably
doesn't remember any of them. But I don't remember him
speaking with southernisms. I think he was more I think
Craig probably came up in an era where if you
(11:35):
want it to be a national news person like he
apparently he's always wanted you start working early on getting
rid of you want to have what I think they
called the Ohio accent. That's right, believe it or not.
That's apparently people in Ohio. If you were to go
outside of the country and ask what an American is
supposed to sound like Ohio has nailed it. They obviously
(11:58):
are familiar with Boston in New York and Philadelphia, and
and you can even tell in the South there's like
the sophisticated Southern accent and the redneck Southern accent, and
then the Texas has a little bit something. You have
all these different varieties of American speak, but Ohio is
(12:20):
the one that the world recognizes as the perfect diction.
We are not we have a zero accent in Ohio.
And so I think Craig worked on that, probably beginning
in like middle school, probably, and he wanted to be
and look at the I mean, look at the incredible
success this guy's happened. I was reading about his contract.
He was already making like two and a half million
(12:43):
a year and they doubled it.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Well, now he's got to show up five days a week.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Oh, there's only a million dollars per day, poor Craig.
I guess it was about a million dollars a day
before because he was working Saturday at Sunday. And so
now he's going to five days a week. So now
it's five million a year. So he'll be all right.
I mean, he's obviously more than al right, he's a
superstar now. But anyway, have you had people try to
(13:15):
change who you are.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
To what was the guy? Meet the press? Russ Tim
Russer Rusher spotted him, found to be a super star,
discovered him, Yeah, brought him to I think it was
Channel four DC got him that job, and then things
just really took off for him there. And I think
that's where he met his wife, the ESPN broadcaster, and
(13:39):
she was like the sports person at that channel, I believe,
And she's beautiful and they've got to be family going
up there in Connecticut, and he's living the dream. And
you know that's I love it when you're a if
you have a dream as like a twelve year old
or whatever. I don't know when Craig's dreams started, but
by the time I met him, which would have been
two thousand five, he was very well into that I'm
(14:05):
going to be a national newsperson dream.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
He wasn't. He was just a wis guy who had
just come off Craigcam at that point. But it Craig
Cam was rocking early two thousands, two thousand and five,
I think they had ended that segment and he was
like their regular news anchor at that point. But I
love this idea that somebody has a vision and they say,
I want to be inserts whatever that is, a surgeon,
(14:33):
I want to be a world renowned whatever. If you
chase it. I mean, there's certain things that you can't do.
Like you know, if you're a bad If your dream
is to be a basketball player and you're under six
' four, it's almost impossible. It's almost impossible to begin with.
But some of the one of the requirements you need
is height. It's like ninety nine point three percent of
(14:55):
NBA players since nineteen eighty have been over six foot four.
There now there are you can point to like three
or four guys.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Everybody knows them by name too, because they are the anomaly.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yes, I mean, if you're spud Web and you're five
to nine or whatever and you can still dunk a basketball, right,
maybe you might, I don't know. But even then it's
really hard for them to play. But I'm not talking
about a physical thing per se, unless you have that
natural physical gift that hit a golf ball or tennis ball,
whatever it is. But if you say, I want it
to be a world renowned chef or a world renowned veterinarian,
(15:30):
or a world renowned radio personality or a television news
anchor or whatever. You can chase that dream and most
will not get there. They'll do they'll do well, but
they won't be that individual. But Craig Melvin chased it
and got it.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I heard Sylvester Stallone speaking of that. Hannity last night
was promoting an interview with Silvester Stallone. I'm like, wonder
what inspired this.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I know that Stallone is a huge Trump guy and
they probably were hanging out together at mar Alago because
I saw Stallone post some video he was the mar
A Lago dinner.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
But this was to promote a new Fox Nation video
podcast called Sean. It's not called Hannity. Oh we have
a show called Sean Yes, and we spell that s
a N yes and he does interviews or we'll be
doing interviews long form, kind of casual. And Sylvester Stallone
(16:31):
was talking about the embodiment of Rocky and why it
was so relatable. It's because it doesn't matter what your
background is or what your profession is, if you're an
attorney or whatever. There's there was that relatability of Sylvester
Stallone chasing a dream and he actually got the shot,
he got the opportunity, and Stallone says, there's so many
(16:54):
people that are trapped in their dream because they don't
have that. They don't they didn't get the shot, they
didn't get the opportunity mentioned I think in this a
physical aspect, say, if you're a track runner, you know,
if you had to, if you at least got on
the platform, you get the shot, image you come in last,
then you'd know, you know, I gave it up my
all and I can move on to something else. But
you live in this nearly suffocating, frustrating, oppressive feeling of
(17:21):
not ever getting a shot. So you're right, I mean,
Craig Melvin was preparing himself and he got his shot,
and he's done very well, and certainly one of South
Carolina is more notable.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, he's I mean, you know, put Darius Rutger up there.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I mean, we've had a couple of folks that came
out of the South Carolina region who have done very well.
Very few though, have gone on to be like what
Craig Melvin and Darius Rutcker are, which are internationally known
like Craig right now, Craig Melvin. They're talking about him
in London. They know who Craig is all around the world.
They know Darius Rutger is all around the world. We
(17:59):
can look at oh what's his name? We always uh,
we joke because he never calls us back. The guy
who he played football for Clempson, the country singer, Yes,
Lee Bryce Lee Brice. Lee Brice is known in the
country circle.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Sure, but if you will not call.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Us for some reason. I mean we literally had like
four phone interviews with this guy and we.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Just he blew us off every time.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Now he has called us back, but it was like
at noon, yeah, and it's like, well, we're not on bro.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yeah, I'm at home. I'm having a lunch taking it up.
But tell him we'll call him tomorrow. But always not available, Okay,
tell him we'll catch him next time. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
And maybe that's part of the reason why Lee Brice
never became more than a pretty popular country singer is
maybe he wasn't as devoted as Craig Melvin was. Maybe
he and it's hard to stay motivating.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Greig Melvin has said, hey, you're going to be on
the podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
He'll be on the podcast I find I imagine I'm not.
I've never been in that situation where you have more
money than you know what to do with. Craig Melvin's
probably at that level now where he is making.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Oh he's not doing it for the money.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah, he's doing He's got a ton of dough, his
wife makes a ton of dough. Everybody, there's money all
around him. He doesn't need it, but yet he still
works very hard. Sure, and it's not just at my job.
It's at promoting my job, promoting my quote unquote brand
to stay that motivated. And maybe that's why Lee Bryce.
When Lee Bryce had a couple of number one hits
(19:27):
or whatever, he's like, I'm a multimillionaire. I don't have
to do anything but go to the way we call
it the mailbox money. I've written hits, so he doesn't
have to do anything else. So maybe that's part of
the problem is it's hard to stay motivated if you've
already had a certain level of success that really can't
be taken away from you, like they Lee Brice will
(19:48):
be financially set, I'm assuming for the rest of his
life now because of the hits that he's already.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Had speaking of the notables. I had somebody bumping to
me at the grocery store. Came up and introduced himself.
I'd never met. He's like Airport's brother. I don't believe
I have either, and introduced himself.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I had dinner with her parents. Obviously the mom has
is that the dad has passed, the mom passed. One
of them passed recently. Maybe they both have past.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Both passed now, but the dad passed recently.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Okay, and they both at the time, this was several
years ago, were members at the Wildwood Club and so
we're sitting there, you know, just they're at my table.
I don't know them, they don't know me. And then
somebody says, well, this is Kelly Nash, and I think
it was The dad goes, oh, he doesn't know w Or.
He didn't no WCS, he's from WVOC and he was like,
(20:40):
I love listening to the rash thoughts. And he starts
going into the politics, and then I was like, oh,
that's great. You know, sometimes you meet people who are
like your political commentaries or whatever, and then somebody goes, well,
you know who this guy is, and I'm like, I
think it was Bill and I'm like Bill and they're like,
his daughter is Ainsley Earhart. Ah Okay, I didn't realize
(21:01):
y'all were members of the Wildwood Club. And it was
funny because I had gone to New York for Christmas.
I'd gone to Connecticut for Christmas, but I ended up
in New York. This was probably like six years ago,
and I don't I think Ainsley had come to do
a She had like a kid's book at the time
(21:21):
that she promoted at one of the malls, and my
wife and I went out. My wife is a huge fan,
so we went and met her there just like part
of the general public. And somebody mentioned, well, this is
Kelly Nash from w COS is what they said. And
she remembered the country station and she was like, Oh,
that's so cool, blah blah blah. If you're ever in
(21:42):
New York, let me know. And I said, as luck
would have it, we're going to be there in like
three months. She said, well, let me give you my
assistant's name and number blah blah blah and text her
with your information. We'll make sure you get on Fox
and Friends. And so I had when I met her, Dad,
I was like, your daughter just me up maybe six
months ago we had the VIP tour, sat on the
(22:05):
white couch, hung out with all these people. She's an
amazing person and blah blah blah, and he was like, Oh,
I'm so glad she did that for you. I'm like,
it's funny how their you know, this family is now
like interlinked with me and I never even knew you
people before, but it all happened so quickly.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
But it was very sad that her dad had passed
and so and then uh what was the other thing?
I just had another notable kind of mind. I can't
remember who it was now, Okay, never mind, not as
notable as I thought obviously.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I mean, we've had a bunch of them though out
of this area. But again to the to the point
that Stallone was making, you need the shot, but then
you also need to capitalize.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
You'll get a prep for it.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
How many people have we never heard of who got
their shot?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Like whatever? Do you ever see the movie? I think
it's called Broadcast News. Uh, one of my there's a
scene in Broadcast News is one of my favorite scenes
of all time where the guy desperately wants to be
the anchor and they're gonna let him. He's a great
news reporter. They're gonna let him anchor a weekend newscast
because somebody else is sick or something. And he comes
(23:15):
down with a case of the sweats, ohez and they
like between like when he throws it to the news like,
we're gonna go to uh, you know Bill Johnson who's
reporting jo us and I ran and then they during
that like segment, they're like got a fan on them.
They're putting towels on and then like people are like
calling you, are you seeing what's happening over here on
(23:35):
Channel three right now?
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I saw that happen this morning. They went to a
girl in MSNBC for a report and she totally just
I mean she blanked out.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Oh that's brutal.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, she just for like five seconds she was like
uh uh uh uh and the host had to jump
back in and savor and I'm like, well that when
that that when that job. She will will never know
her name. No, she'll never I mean, that'll be the
end of the crumbled. And they went to her again
and she lost it again.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
And so there's thousands of people who've gotten that shot.
That couldn't capitalize on it.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Few.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
It's the rare few, like a Craig Melvin or a
Darius Rucker or Tnever who get the right break and
have the skill and the preparation to take advantage of it.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Yeah, the ever popular overnight success are always guys who
