Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Kelly Nash, Good morning. I have a warm cup
of coffee. It was hot, now it's warm. I'll still
take that. I would like that with a donut. We
don't have any donuts in the breakroom today. It's Tomorrow
show today. We all have some food content coming up
in this podcast, as always.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Always got to have the food content. But as I'm
standing here in the studio, which is supposed to be soundproof,
it's not soundproof. It's not even close to soundproof. We
hear a lot of noises outside the studio. Although we
don't have any windows, I can hear a helicopter flying
over our head right now. Well, and that's where we're
at now, Jonathan, I heard a helicopter the other night
by my house, and I'm thinking, should I go to
(00:40):
the window. Is it one of those drones that we
keep hearing about. I saw one of our friends, I'll
say his name, Chad Holbrook, the former Gamecock baseball coach
who's now down at College Charleston. He tweeted out Sunday
night that the drones were flying over his house.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
We got drones all up and down the Eastern seaboard.
Now have you seen one of these drugs. I would
be fascinated to hear from anybody who's drone. I can't
believe that there's drones as large as they're saying, basically
anywhere from an suv to a school bus size. They
(01:16):
had one on WABC Channel seven out of New York
that a upstate radio personality tweeted out that video and
people thought, and I thought, when I saw the video, well,
that just looks like the moon.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
It doesn't look like a drone. It looks like the moon,
but it's like wobbling a little bit. It was moving,
and the news person on the scene, the anchors said
back to her, we're getting questions, are you sure people
aren't just misinterpreting the moon? And she's like, no, because
I'm looking at the moon here, and then she moves
(01:53):
her head to the right and she goes and that's
what we're looking at right now.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
So it's unless we're in a Star Wars episode where
they have two or three moons.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
So there's definitely drones are something flying all over the
and we're talking like thousands of sightings. Now, yes, I mean,
how this is not the number one story in the
world is shotgun?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
And I tuned in yesterday because I knew that Alejandro Mayorcus,
head of the Department of Homeland Security, was going to
be home with this week with George Stephanopoulos.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
A little lighter in the wallet. George, after Donald Trump
sued him.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
He told us nothing. As a matter of fact, he
basically reiterated the question that George had asked him by
elongating an answer that took us around the mulberry bush
and back to where we were in the beginning. We
know nothing.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Well, I'm just you know, we have so many i'll
say independent journalists and those types of people who are
trying to make a name for themselves right now in
the news industry that this would seem to me to
be one of the most fascinating stories of twenty twenty four.
And I see, I can't find really a whole lot
(03:07):
on them other than that it's happening.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
We have more stories about Christmas lights on your local
news than we have about drone lights overhead at night.
Now that's where we are, because I guess when you
get Alejandro Mayorcus giving you an answer where he relays
no information, and in fact, I think that little stutter
step he made in the middle of the interview. In
case you missed that, he said, we have seen nothing,
(03:30):
but we know of nothing that will lead us to
the determination this is any way of foreign enterprise. Well,
I shall see, and then back up to say we
know of is it's very telling.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Well the number one theory right now, and I think
it became the number one theory because the most popular
podcaster in the world, Joe Rogan, retweeted the video and said,
this is the first explanation of the drones that has
made me nervous. Is a self described drone expert. Apparently
he makes drones and it's a nine and a half
(04:07):
minute video, but basically his theory is that drones are
being flown at night, specifically to try to detect a
missing nuclear warhead, one of the eighty that went missing
in the Ukraine. He believes that those drones are all
being flown by the US military and that everybody knows it.
(04:29):
My work is all of these people know it. That's
why they're not saying it's a threat. It's not a threat.
The drones are not the threat. No, the threat is
what they're looking for us, which is a missing nuclear
warhead that they have reason to believe is somewhere on
the eastern seaboard.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Of all the things and all the theories that I've heard,
that one's the only one that I can't shoot a
whole land yet.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
So I don't know, man, crazy story going on.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
There's no way this is going on overhead in our
Defense Department, the Homeland Security Department, and the only legal
authorities are the ones on the ground locally who will
point it out and then demand answers, even with the
House and Senate members of those areas demanding answers. Former
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie talking about he saw, in
fact over his house two drones. I believe he said
(05:14):
Saturday night or Sunday morning early. So we have all
these eyewitnesses, thousands of videos, and the Department of Homeland
Security and the Defense Department has no answer other than
to take you around Mulberry Bush and what you think
is going to be an answer, and you end up
hearing nothing from Alejandro Mayorcus. And you would have thought
(05:37):
every Sunday show would have booked him. I thought we
were going to do every Sunday show with this guy.
Maybe somebody would be able to get asked the question
that would give us a little more insight. But that
was the only Sunday show he was on.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Like, I don't know what a click means. When somebody's
I guess talking about clicks in air travel.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
It's almost a mile. It's because this.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Is described as a possible drone encounter in Charlotte, North Carolina,
last night. The source states I'm fourteen clicks or so
south by southwest of Dulles Airport, which is up near DC.
Lots of chopper activity. This does not happen usually, just
normal plane traffic. Fifteen minutes, the choppers disappeared, but the
(06:25):
drone stays.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
A little after dinner tonight, probably around eight o'clock. I'm
gonna go up on my roof.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Up on the rooftop.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
John yahthing goes try to get away from as much
light pollution as possible so I can sit up on
the roof. I'm just gonna lay there and just look.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Well up on the rooftop, look at the second moon
to find himself. Some of these crazy drones. See I
got a little.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Well, we got Fort Jackson about two clicks away from
my house. So if they're hovering over particular areas well,
that would only go if it wasn't our own defense department,
they wouldn't be looking for that on Fort Jackson. Although
we don't even know if that's true.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Well, of course we don't know if it's true. It's
just a jury.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Jeff Landrew, who is a House member from New Jersey,
said that he had from high ranking Coastguard officials that
this was an iranium mothership that was hosting them just
off into the eastern to the east in the Atlantic Ocean.
Now they made him walk that back.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Well, somebody pointed out that China doesn't really like Iran
that much and they're not going to give them their
best technology. So for any price, Russian's same thing. So
they're doubtful that it's an Iranian quote unquote mothership because
they wouldn't have access to that, because that would mean
that China and Iran.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
The Chinese, Yeah, painted the Iranian symbol on the side of.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Their ship, but that's not what his source said. They
said that they had bought it from China, and so
who knows. Anyway, I'm just interested in people who's drones.
Have you seen one of these like suv sized drones?
I'd I'd love to hear your story. About it. In
the meantime, We're getting you ready for a long, hot
summer Memorial Day weekend kickoff Keith Urban Credit One Stadium.
(08:14):
Tomorrow Morning, six thirty another edition of what You're Talking
About Tomorrow's word meta Noya, Meta Noya. Jonathan Rush loves
to take a guess at the words metanoya irritated with Facebook.
It is not Facebook related. This is an older word
(08:39):
that means to change one's mind, to have a new perspective,
and oftentimes it's used theologically to describe somebody converting to Christianity,
but it's also used just when somebody has a new
perspective on whatever. Like, you know, you became a parent,
you had a meta NOI about raising children. Previously you
(09:03):
thought raising children when you were a child, if I
was the parent, I would allow him to eat ice
cream every night for dinner.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
So I always said, I if I were the parent,
I would buy one of those really cool station wagons
with the seats in the back. They were like jump
seats face each other. Sure, And my dad told me,
when you get old enough to have kids and buy one,
you can buy one of those. And I said, well,
I won't be able to sit in the back. I'll
be driving.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
You can hire a driver. You're gonna make a lot
of money, young Jonathan Rush, that was.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
A dream that came true. I actually bought one of
those and let Sally drive and I would ride in
the bat with the kids.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Perfect, I Sally. Is that how it all started? The
Sally driving tradition? Maybe I've got to play in the
back with the kids, and don't wear your seat belts. Kids.
That makes it nineteen seventies and sixties authentic. We didn't
have seatbelts back then.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
How did we survive that? Well?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
It was fun trying other stories that we can look at.
Did you say you had the food thing that you
wanted to bring to the table.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah, I want to talk about the cookies. Oh yes,
I missed my guess on this one. If I'd go
with my antstincts, I'd have been right. Now.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
This is based off pretty much what I can tell
is Google searches. So I don't know how accurate this
is going to be, but they've got a story out
in news we called favorite Christmas Cookies by State, And
I can tell you now, I am not a huge
Christmas cookie fan. I like cookies, but I like chocolate
(10:36):
chip cookies are my favorite cookies. When I think Christmas cookies.
Growing up in the Northeast, many of them were like
Italian themed cookies, which are just to me not that good.
I'm not a huge fan of the Italian cookies.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
The lady fingerlooking things with the powdered sugar. I love those.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yeah, I'm not a powdered sugar fan, got it, So
either way, they go through it. And of course the
Italian Christmas cookies are listed. This is state by state,
so a lot of Northeastern states have Italian Christmas cookies.
The Eminem Christmas cookie. I don't know what makes it
a Christmas cookie, but the Eminem Christmas Cookie very popular.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
They put the red and green Eminem's in there.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
So Massachusetts, Michigan, Utah, Washington. You know, my mom used
to make a Christmas cookie and I forget what was
like the actual cookie, but in the middle of it
was a Hershey kiss. Oh yeah, and I loved those cookies.
I think it might have actually even been a or
(11:40):
a peanut butter based cookie. I can't remember now, but
speaking of peanut butter, it says that in South Carolina,
I don't even think this is a Christmas cookie. The
favorite Christmas cookie is a peanut butter cookie. Okay, does
that seem like it's a Christmas thing?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
No? And but I should have gone with that because
South Karolins love peanut butter cookie, especially when mom made
it when you were a kid, because he would use that.
You could always tell moms a mom made a homemade
peanut butter cookie because they used the fork and they
would make a little imprint like a cross on the top.
Those were so good. But I guess because I was
thinking that a lot of women like to make the
(12:18):
gingerbread man and there's a ginger snap kind of so
I went with the ginger snap.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Eh, yeah, that was not us. We've got the I
don't know what a peppermint Christmas cookie is, but that's
in Montana, Oregon and Wyoming. I would try that. I
like peppermint for some reason. It's somehow Pavlovian that it's
in my mind around the Christmas season. I don't really
want to have peppermint in the summertime, but I do
(12:45):
like it near Christmas. Oh do you so you're like
those ladies who like the pumpkin spicy round It's not
just a fall thing for them. Peppermint is not just
a hot day.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I need a whole lot of cookie. So when I
say year round, we're talking one. Maybe certainly chocolate chip.
I want to oat milk cookie, and I want to
cut Zoo Bakery oatmelk cookie, best oatmelk cookie in town.
Prove me wrong, tell me where I can get a
better one, and I'll buy him there and I'll compare
and can trast.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
And you I think you just mentioned Chris Christi from
New Jersey a moment ago. According to this, the favorite
Christmas cookie in New Jersey actually makes me throw up
in my mouth a little. It's called the Rikatta Christmas Cookie.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
They take a ricotta cheese in it.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Apparently that sounds so disgusting to me. I don't know,
you're gonna try it. You're gonna google that one.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I might have to try it. The never thought about
that being in a cookie.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
They have other fun names for cookies like that I
had not ever heard of. So I want to look up,
like the Christmas kitchen kink kitchen sink cookie, like, I
have no idea what that could be. It Yeah, the
Christmas crack cookie. Number one in Kansas and Maryland Christmas crack. Yes, please,
(14:02):
I don't know what's going on. Do you have a
favorite like like a Salslider Chicago thing?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
You know?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Mine was, like I said, was the Christmas cookie that
had the Hershey kiss in the middle of it. Do
you have a favorite Christmas cookie from your childhood that
you remember.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I'm gonna go with a gingerbread man. I always like
the ginger snaps this time of the year. I like
the gingerbread man. I got a friend who is mom
makes them, me brings them to me every year. I
love them. Oh really, Oh she decorates them. They're like
they should be like life size because that's how much
I love them. I need like a six foot tall
gingerbread man. I could just eat a little bit every day.
(14:42):
It's like Sally's. I'm down to my last piece unless
one of the boys comes by and gets it. I'm
down to my last piece of my favorite Christmas cake.
Sally's friend Sissy makes a rum cake that is to
die for, and I love it. I have to, I
have to ration it.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
So it's only December sixteenth, I know, and you've rationed it.
When did you get it? I'm going to guess a
week and a half ago. Okay, so she's very early
with the Christmas cake.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
She just knows how much. Maybe maybe the plan is
she going to send over another one.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
You should send her an email when's the second round arrive.
I'm rationing till that second cake gets here. You know that, right, Sissy.
You didn't expect me to make it all.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I texted her when I got it, thank you so much,
and she said, I can't believe you get so excited
about the cake. That's so easy to make. Sally can
make this like, hey, she's not going to make it
because you won't let me have the calories and be
us got rum in it. If I could sit down
and eat the whole thing, and I wouldn't be able
to pass it to Ui test. I can tell you
that too, weighs about twelve pounds. This thing is heavy.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Could she text you the recipe and one day when
Sally's at a Bible study you make it.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Had to get a handle of rum to make that thing.
I think I love that rum cake. It is so good.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
By the way, I think the name of the cookies
that I loved is called the Peanut butter blossom. So
it's a peanut butter cookie with the hershey kiss in
the sound?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Gotcha peanut? What is the best Christmas cookie? Or tell
me where's a better oatmeal cookie than Kadzu Bakery? Because
I don't believe it exists, but I'd love to go
buy some and compare it.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
What do you think the special ingredient is that makes
it so?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I don't know, but they're so good. There's a lot
of stuff in Kadzoo I like, but that's the best
oatmeal cookie ever. And it's moist. It's so moist that
it doesn't snap when you when you bite into a
lot of these, like a store ball cookie. You don't
want that. You don't want that. That's trash.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
That's trash.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yeah, it crumbles. I want something like you. It's almost
like it's warm, but it's not.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
You can make it a dooe ball out of it
if you wanted to.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Hey, what's going on to your house? We need to
be talking about what kind of Christmas delights do you
got going on there? We should be eating snacking on
because I'm always looking to snack on something. You're how
to reach out to us on social media? You could
also send us an email. Recipes are always welcome. I

Tomorrow Morning, six thirty another edition of what You're Talking
About Tomorrow's word meta Noya, Meta Noya. Jonathan Rush loves
to take a guess at the words metanoya irritated with Facebook.
It is not Facebook related. This is an older word
(08:39):
that means to change one's mind, to have a new perspective,
and oftentimes it's used theologically to describe somebody converting to Christianity,
but it's also used just when somebody has a new
perspective on whatever. Like, you know, you became a parent,
you had a meta NOI about raising children. Previously you
(09:03):
thought raising children when you were a child, if I
was the parent, I would allow him to eat ice
cream every night for dinner.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
So I always said, I if I were the parent,
I would buy one of those really cool station wagons
with the seats in the back. They were like jump
seats face each other. Sure, And my dad told me,
when you get old enough to have kids and buy one,
you can buy one of those. And I said, well,
I won't be able to sit in the back. I'll
be driving.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
You can hire a driver. You're gonna make a lot
of money, young Jonathan Rush, that was.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
A dream that came true. I actually bought one of
those and let Sally drive and I would ride in
the bat with the kids.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Perfect, I Sally. Is that how it all started? The
Sally driving tradition? Maybe I've got to play in the
back with the kids, and don't wear your seat belts. Kids.
That makes it nineteen seventies and sixties authentic. We didn't
have seatbelts back then.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
How did we survive that? Well?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
It was fun trying other stories that we can look at.
Did you say you had the food thing that you
wanted to bring to the table.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah, I want to talk about the cookies. Oh yes,
I missed my guess on this one. If I'd go
with my antstincts, I'd have been right. Now.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
This is based off pretty much what I can tell
is Google searches. So I don't know how accurate this
is going to be, but they've got a story out
in news we called favorite Christmas Cookies by State, And
I can tell you now, I am not a huge
Christmas cookie fan. I like cookies, but I like chocolate
(10:36):
chip cookies are my favorite cookies. When I think Christmas cookies.
Growing up in the Northeast, many of them were like
Italian themed cookies, which are just to me not that good.
I'm not a huge fan of the Italian cookies.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
The lady fingerlooking things with the powdered sugar. I love those.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yeah, I'm not a powdered sugar fan, got it, So
either way, they go through it. And of course the
Italian Christmas cookies are listed. This is state by state,
so a lot of Northeastern states have Italian Christmas cookies.
The Eminem Christmas cookie. I don't know what makes it
a Christmas cookie, but the Eminem Christmas Cookie very popular.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
They put the red and green Eminem's in there.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
So Massachusetts, Michigan, Utah, Washington. You know, my mom used
to make a Christmas cookie and I forget what was
like the actual cookie, but in the middle of it
was a Hershey kiss. Oh yeah, and I loved those cookies.
I think it might have actually even been a or
(11:40):
a peanut butter based cookie. I can't remember now, but
speaking of peanut butter, it says that in South Carolina,
I don't even think this is a Christmas cookie. The
favorite Christmas cookie is a peanut butter cookie. Okay, does
that seem like it's a Christmas thing?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
No? And but I should have gone with that because
South Karolins love peanut butter cookie, especially when mom made
it when you were a kid, because he would use that.
You could always tell moms a mom made a homemade
peanut butter cookie because they used the fork and they
would make a little imprint like a cross on the top.
Those were so good. But I guess because I was
thinking that a lot of women like to make the
(12:18):
gingerbread man and there's a ginger snap kind of so
I went with the ginger snap.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Eh, yeah, that was not us. We've got the I
don't know what a peppermint Christmas cookie is, but that's
in Montana, Oregon and Wyoming. I would try that. I
like peppermint for some reason. It's somehow Pavlovian that it's
in my mind around the Christmas season. I don't really
want to have peppermint in the summertime, but I do
(12:45):
like it near Christmas. Oh do you so you're like
those ladies who like the pumpkin spicy round It's not
just a fall thing for them. Peppermint is not just
a hot day.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I need a whole lot of cookie. So when I
say year round, we're talking one. Maybe certainly chocolate chip.
I want to oat milk cookie, and I want to
cut Zoo Bakery oatmelk cookie, best oatmelk cookie in town.
Prove me wrong, tell me where I can get a
better one, and I'll buy him there and I'll compare
and can trast.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
And you I think you just mentioned Chris Christi from
New Jersey a moment ago. According to this, the favorite
Christmas cookie in New Jersey actually makes me throw up
in my mouth a little. It's called the Rikatta Christmas Cookie.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
They take a ricotta cheese in it.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Apparently that sounds so disgusting to me. I don't know,
you're gonna try it. You're gonna google that one.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I might have to try it. The never thought about
that being in a cookie.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
They have other fun names for cookies like that I
had not ever heard of. So I want to look up,
like the Christmas kitchen kink kitchen sink cookie, like, I
have no idea what that could be. It Yeah, the
Christmas crack cookie. Number one in Kansas and Maryland Christmas crack. Yes, please,
(14:02):
I don't know what's going on. Do you have a
favorite like like a Salslider Chicago thing?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
You know?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Mine was, like I said, was the Christmas cookie that
had the Hershey kiss in the middle of it. Do
you have a favorite Christmas cookie from your childhood that
you remember.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I'm gonna go with a gingerbread man. I always like
the ginger snaps this time of the year. I like
the gingerbread man. I got a friend who is mom
makes them, me brings them to me every year. I
love them. Oh really, Oh she decorates them. They're like
they should be like life size because that's how much
I love them. I need like a six foot tall
gingerbread man. I could just eat a little bit every day.
(14:42):
It's like Sally's. I'm down to my last piece unless
one of the boys comes by and gets it. I'm
down to my last piece of my favorite Christmas cake.
Sally's friend Sissy makes a rum cake that is to
die for, and I love it. I have to, I
have to ration it.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
So it's only December sixteenth, I know, and you've rationed it.
When did you get it? I'm going to guess a
week and a half ago. Okay, so she's very early
with the Christmas cake.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
She just knows how much. Maybe maybe the plan is
she going to send over another one.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
You should send her an email when's the second round arrive.
I'm rationing till that second cake gets here. You know that, right, Sissy.
You didn't expect me to make it all.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I texted her when I got it, thank you so much,
and she said, I can't believe you get so excited
about the cake. That's so easy to make. Sally can
make this like, hey, she's not going to make it
because you won't let me have the calories and be
us got rum in it. If I could sit down
and eat the whole thing, and I wouldn't be able
to pass it to Ui test. I can tell you
that too, weighs about twelve pounds. This thing is heavy.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Could she text you the recipe and one day when
Sally's at a Bible study you make it.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Had to get a handle of rum to make that thing.
I think I love that rum cake. It is so good.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
By the way, I think the name of the cookies
that I loved is called the Peanut butter blossom. So
it's a peanut butter cookie with the hershey kiss in
the sound?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Gotcha peanut? What is the best Christmas cookie? Or tell
me where's a better oatmeal cookie than Kadzu Bakery? Because
I don't believe it exists, but I'd love to go
buy some and compare it.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
What do you think the special ingredient is that makes
it so?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I don't know, but they're so good. There's a lot
of stuff in Kadzoo I like, but that's the best
oatmeal cookie ever. And it's moist. It's so moist that
it doesn't snap when you when you bite into a
lot of these, like a store ball cookie. You don't
want that. You don't want that. That's trash.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
That's trash.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yeah, it crumbles. I want something like you. It's almost
like it's warm, but it's not.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
You can make it a dooe ball out of it
if you wanted to.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Hey, what's going on to your house? We need to
be talking about what kind of Christmas delights do you
got going on there? We should be eating snacking on
