Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, well, well, unconventional conventionists, we meet again. It's Tomorrow
show Today. Hello Kelly Nash, Happy Monday. It's a little
it's gonna be I was excited about the forecast because
it's not going to be like really below freezing for
the next ten nice dancing around the freezing mark. But
at least we're not going to see any brutal cold weather. Now,
(00:21):
Sally would tell you she's very upset wh didn't get
snow over the weekend here in the Midlands.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I'm sure there's a lot of ladies who feel that way.
And there's a lot of ladies who are going through
dry January right now. And every year Americans gather around
and take this little oath or whatever it is to
kick off the year sober. And it's tough because, I know,
particularly for women, wine is such a big part of
(00:49):
the social makeup. My wife doesn't drink at all, and
yet she is asked if she would like a drink, probably,
you know, ten times a week. And you know, it's
not a problem for her because she's never been tempted
by alcohol. That's not something that's in her wheelhouse. But
what about the feet, the males and females who are
(01:10):
trying to not drink during this month. We have a
lady in the morning Russia regular here who apparently there's
a group of ladies who get together for whatever reason,
book club or something, and.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
They always a reason to got to get together and
open a bottle of wine.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
But they meet on the regular and their regular meeting
just happened, I guess, and nobody else drank except her.
And one of the ladies pointed out to her afterwards,
I'm not doing dry January, but you knew that so
and so was, and you should have been respectful of
(01:47):
that and not drank. And she's like, well, so and
so is not an alcoholic. So and so is just
going thirty days without alcohol. That's like somebody going on
a diet and then I can't have cake and cookies.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Why would I deprive myself of something that I don't
feel like I'm not? I mean, is everybody supposed to
stop drinking? I don't know, Jonathan. It's one of those
things where are you supporting your friend or not?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
You know, if you step back in a little bit,
you know, I was reading where alcohol consumption is down,
and some people were pondering that. I think it's because
you got THC drinks consumption up THC.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah, that's marijuana.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, so that consumption is up. But now the dry
drinking thing. I do know a couple of guys who
have going through the dry January. I don't think they're
going to make it. We didn't place bets on it
that I was waiting on the pool to break out
because I didn't think they were going to make it.
But is it inappropriate for you around it, whether you're
hosting it or not just being with someone? Yeah, if
(02:44):
they're so, if they are observing dry January, that's kind
of like eating a steak on Friday, if you're having
dinner with it. About Catholic? Can I not eat red meat?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I did it all the time growing up in Connecticut,
which has you know, got a ton of Catholics out there,
and a lot of my friends had to eat fish
and they were miserable about it. But I didn't and
I didn't feel bad about it either.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
There are a lot of non alcoholic wines that you
could buy, so you still get to get together. You're
still going to have like a taste of wine, but
it's not going to be an alcoholic version.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
But your decision shouldn't affect my life negatively.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
This is a test of the friendship.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I don't feel that way. I feel like if now,
if it'd be different if the friend said, I am
struggling right now, even if it's not an alcoholic thing,
even if it's just I really wanted to do this
thing for thirty days and I need some extra support.
Could you encourage me during this time? If they had
(03:45):
asked for help, that's one thing. Now, you're not a
good friend if you're like, no, and I'm drinking. But
if they're not even asking for it, why would I
just assume that when you made a decision to go
thirty days without something, how that tied me into your decision.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
But they would have been called out by the person
that was celebrating Drid January. They were called up by
a friend.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Who took the what they think is the high road. Yea,
And they denied themselves in front of this person.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Another wrinkle has been added to the relationship.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, so I guess the two others, so I guess
there's a group of four. The two other women did
joined the third woman in not drinking that day, the
one who's going drive January. She's going the whole month.
These two just decided to not have any alcohol and
then kind of gave her the shame shame chant over
(04:37):
the fact that she decided. So I'm still cracking the
line here, ladies.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Got to play the shame card. You get an opportunity,
you got to play the shame card. Oh is that
what it is? Is that what we're doing here?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I don't do it, Okay, I don't think that it
was incoming upon her unless asked to not have a cocktail.
But we'll see if we're right or wrong on that.
We have a guy named Daniel Pink. Perhaps you've heard
of him. He is a what we'll just call a researcher.
He studies people's lives, He studies trends, and he puts
out his research. He's come up with a new thing
(05:11):
about the biggest regrets that people have, and he says
there's four core regrets. One would be what he calls
a foundation regret. This is small decisions that you make
early in life that accumulate to terrible consequences later on.
So for he gives the example of you got a
(05:32):
new job that had a four to oh one K.
You chose to not participate in the four to oh
one K, and then you're forty five fifty years old
and you're realizing, crap, I have nothing for retirement.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Oh, my friends are bragging about the four oh one ks.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
It was a small decision to not put the fifty
a week in there, or whatever it was. Now, after
twenty five thirty years, I really regret that decision. Maybe
it was a decision to start smoking as a teenager
is a small thing, and then you later on you
don't like it, or to have it to have a cocktail.
Boldness regrets is the second one. Boldness regrets are born
(06:09):
out of the opportunities that you didn't take a risk
on and later wish that you had. He points to
somebody who didn't start a business and their friends started,
or someone they know of heard of started a very
similar business and went on to be multimillionaires or billionaires,
and you're like, crap, if I had only had the
cahones to take that leap.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I've said it before, I say it again. The only
time I ever find myself envious, which is rare, but
one of the things I covet which I realize is
a sin. Is that guys who did start their own business,
and I have always worked for a company because I
wasn't broadcasting. I did try to buy a group of
radio stations once almost made it didn't work out. But
(06:54):
those guys, you know, there's a perfect example. Yeah, they
have that covetousness in my heart.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
The third one is a moral regret, and the example
that he gives here is it's a conscious bad decision.
For example, you chose to be mean to someone while
you were in school. With that someone, you regret that
now as you have more maturity, but as a teenager
you knew it was wrong, but you did it anyway.
(07:21):
And the finally one is connection regrets. This is when
you lose a connection with someone, either platonically or romantically.
Maybe it was a best friend because your careers made
it tough on you, or perhaps somebody moved to chase
a dream and then you didn't stay in touch. I
mean I kind of know that. Like I have a
former boss who lives up in Long Island and he
(07:47):
is older than me, and yet he still takes the
time to reach out to me on the regular. I
know he's as busy if not busier than me, and
I feel like crap that I don't take the effort
to really reach out to him, set aside fifteen minutes
a week to just give him a call and just
chit chat with him. I know it would mean a
(08:08):
lot to him, and it would mean a lot to
me too, and yet I don't do it. So I
have one of those connection regrets that just.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Happened to me last night. I have a friend who
for a long time we would be able to bump
into each other because then we lives out of state,
and we were bump into each other whenever he came
back to South Khak or whatever it was, and we
just kind of fell out of the regular contact mode.
And now I just found out that he's lost a
(08:34):
family member, and I felt bad because I hadn't even
talked to him in such a long time. And usually
guys don't feel bad at all about not talking to
somebody who was picking the phone and that light we
just thought yesterday. Women can't seem to do that. Guys
can do that pretty quickly. But I did feel bad
about falling out of regular contact where I would have
known this person who's very special to him was even
(08:54):
facing a health challenge. I didn't even know that, so
I have a little bit of that regret this morning.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Now, this is a crazy story that this private investigator.
It's a young lady. I can see why this video
is going viral right now. She is She only gives
the name of Cass, and she lives in Queensland and
apparently she was hired by a wife because the wife
(09:23):
just felt like something was wrong with her husband. She's
suspicious he's traveling from Queensland to New South Wales. I
have no idea how far apart those things are. I
don't either, but let's just say it's like going from
South Carolina to Florida. I'm making that up. I don't
know how far it is. But he's making this trip
rather frequently, she says, because the excuse he's giving is
(09:45):
he wants to visit his family down there. And she
said he rarely used to do this, and now he's
doing it rather frequently, and that had her radar up.
So she had checked her joint banking accounts and didn't
see anything really highly unusual. But when she hired the investigator,
(10:07):
Cass said, check the supermarket rewards account and inside the
supermarket rewards account. She found that he was purchasing things
in a suburb on the regular that's on the different
side of the town than where his family lives. So
it'd be like coming to you saying, I'm visiting my
(10:28):
family in Lexington, and yet you see that they're shopping
in Elgin. It's in the vicinity, but it's like fifty
miles from their house. Why would you be shopping in
that grocery store? Now, She points out that he did
save ten dollars by using the rewards, but that has
now led to a very expensive divorce where he's losing
(10:49):
half of his ownings. That's how they caught him. What
is the unique way that you caught somebody cheating?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Oh that's good. I wouldn't that I.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Would use all that either. I mean, you know, I'm
at wherever Kroger. Why wouldn't I take advantage of the
Kroger discount? Just scan my little card all But now
they know I was at that Kroger, not the Kroger
that I should be at.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I can't. Can't you check the receipt as well? Did
you know that he buy flowers and a bottle of wine?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I don't know. It doesn't say whether or not like
he had like a whole secret family or something going
on with that. But he shouldn't have been shopping on
that side of town. And if he did it, it would
have been once, maybe twice. But to go there every
two or three weeks makes no sense, the same place,
and he couldn't explain it. And now he's divorced. Wow,
what tripped you up? Didn't see that?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Didn't see that electronic trip wire? Did you? Oh? That's good.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Somehow people get caught all the times, and perhaps you've
got an interesting angle on how you caught somebody. And finally,
Warren Zeiders is coming to town. We've been talking about it.
March twenty ninth. That's a Saturday night concert Township Auditorium.
Tyler Braden is the special guest. And the word for
what you're talking about is pro c pro cy. Jonathan,
(12:07):
any idea p R O s Y.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Pro c pro c.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I will say this is probably an insult, probably an insult,
although some people may use it as a not an insult,
but I would feel I would be insulted if someone
described me as procy.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
No, I have no idea what this word means.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
It's someone who is content with the commonplace. You're not
striving for greatness. You're just content. Gotcha with common and
not with excellence. You're contented by commonplace?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Are you prosy? You're not procy if you're doing the
extra legwork to look that up on the morning restaurant
and then get make sure you're here at six point thirty,
and then you got to call eight oh three ninety seven,
eight nine two six seven, and then you got to
be then that Jonathan Russ tells you to be.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yeah, we're going to do that right at six thirty.
And on top of that, No, Lesa wore a huge
Warrensiders fan. He's got a new album coming out about
two weeks before his show here. Yes, so we're gonna
have new music you can sing along with. We've got
tickets to win, so he could do that tomorrow morning
at six thirty.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
By the way, Yeah, I was gonna say I saw
a movie over the weekend that came out. I want
to say late eighties. I can't be sure of that.
John Cusack's the star and he was twenty years old
in the movie when he shot it. He was twenty
I think, and the movie's playing a high school senior.
(13:40):
Demi Moore is his love interest, and it's like very
early in both of their careers.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
It's called something like One Crazy Summer or something. It's
just a stupid movie. The guy who wrote it must
have been high on drugs. But Rich Little plays a
radio disc jockey in like I want to say they're
in Newport, Rhode Island or something like that, because it's
like a Rhode Island beach town. Little Yeah, Rich Little's
(14:08):
the radio DJ. And there's a character in the show
in the movie who is like the crazy uncle who's
obsessed with the radio contests. Okay, and the radio station
is doing a million dollar giveaway sometime this summer. We're
gonna play a song and if you hear it and
you're the hundredth caller, you're gonna win a million dollars.
(14:29):
This guy is alone in a room chain smoking for
weeks on end waiting for that song to play, and
at the end of the movie he he calls he
gets through to rich Little, Rich Little answers and he's going,
oh my gosh, you're our hundredth caller. You just want
a million dollars And the guy is like, oh my gosh,
(14:49):
I've been I've been dreaming of this, blah blah blah
blah blah. He then makes a move with the phone
and this is when the phones were connected to the wall.
It disconnects from the wall and you hear rich little
on the air going caller, are you there? Well, the
rules say if he's not there, then we have to
move on to the next caller, and the guy goes.
He comes down and tries to blow up the radio staff.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
We're not doing one hundred phone callar tomorrow the one
hundredth caller. We do have people who do want who
they work very hard to win all the time. Yeah,
you gotta wait thirty days to win if you've won previously.
And we have callers who call us back at the
beginning of the week. They may be call her five,
We're gonna go to caller nine, and they would call
her four, and we're gonna go to call he five,

got people out there that are working hard. Your chance
to wet. Look, we're gonna give you the answer. All
we gotta do is make sure you get on the
phone you get a shot to win tomorrow morning. More
insider stick is that'll be at six thirty. Hey, what's
going on in your neighborhood? We should be talking about

part of dry Dry January? Are you observing it only

Speaker 2 (15:52):
I'm an inadvertently a part of it. I don't think
I've had anything to drink this month. I don't drink
on the regular though, So you know, I was saying,
and it's like, do I get benefit for dry January
