Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, a chilly Nash.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hey there have Morrow Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (00:02):
Yeah, tomorrow's Thursday.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
You're very happy, you're so happy, so.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Happy, it's Thursday. Sahih t. Here we go, Here we
go again, and we got more Jason Aldan tickets up
for grabs to do that at six thirty. What you're
talking about, Kelly gives you the question and the answer.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I mean, I don't know how much more I can
do for you. And Jonathan's thrown in an extra bonus
prize this week.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Double clicks. Only you click on it and get the answer,
and if you click on it again, because this is
clicks for ticks, then not only do you get the
answer again, it'll be the same answer.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
But I didn't I didn't put that in the contest.
In other words, like the winner from today, I guess
she claimed to have clicked it twice. We have no
way of proving, and so you're going to have to,
I guess, maybe figure out a way how to get
her these passes because Mallory's going to do Oh Mallory,
all right, so somebody down, thank you Mallory. But yeah,
(00:57):
the official prize is the two tickets to the Full
Throttle Tour at the Credit One Stadium, Daniel Island featuring
one Jason al Dean the what You're talking About Contest
for tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Iconoclast, Iconoclast, iconoclast. Now I should know this words got it.
This is a totally self absorbed person who has deemed
his words to be the end of all discussions.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I can almost I mean, I don't know that I
can quite get that to be the winning answer day.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
But I never get the Webster dictionary.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
You're in it. I don't know if it has anything
to do with ego or as. It's a person who
questions either a set of beliefs or an institution. So
for example, if you if you don't think that the
government's doing a good job right, you would be an iconoclast.
If you don't think that the game Cock men's basketball
(02:01):
team is on the right path, yes you're questioning that
set of beliefs, then you're.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
In iconical I was close because my dad, for instance,
like a lot of older gentlemen, would tell you what's
wrong with the world today, and then say, if I
were in charge, and then my dad, to his credit,
always gives the caveat. Of course, everybody wants to be
in charge. He doesn't quote tears or fears, but.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
He probably started that statement before there was a Tears
for Fears in nineteen eighty two or whatever it was.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Everybody was to rule the world. But if I were
ahead of it, I know everybody likes to be ahead
of it.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Head of the country or the head of the world.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
He keeps it domestic. Okay, he doesn't go in.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
And so he's not aspiring to like George Soros, where
I can run the whole world. I just want to
run the country.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Then my misunderstanding another great word from my dad's description,
My misunderstanding would have been that I was assuming the
iconoclass had laid out his argument and then was on
to proclaim, you're saying, it's just the laying out of
the argument, got.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
It, Well, it's just the actual questioning, So you don't
even have to verbalize it. But I guess once you
verbalize it, then you're out labeled as the iconoclast by others.
But you may and yourself be like, you know, this
is a bizarre one, But I know lots of married
dudes who iconoclassed on the idea of marriage.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
That's a great exampy.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
They're just like, I don't know that we're supposed to
two human beings are supposed to be together for life.
Now they actually they never voice that, but they do
to me when they're drunk.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yes, but they don't voice it to their wife. They
just have this position in their that's great example. Okay, good, good, good,
got it. I Icino class, and I think tomorrow we
will be throwing an extra extra bonus ticks. If you
double click for ticks, you're going to get ticks to
the Lexington Chili Cookoff coming up the suddenly after the
Super Bowl would do the super Bowl in the Chili Bowl.
(03:57):
We got the Chili Cookoff coming up on the sixteenth.
That's going to be at the ice House. Amphitheater got
it right this time, not the ass House.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Or is referred to earlier the outhouse.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Or the outhouse because kel he had made a reference
that he might be coming because he's a little gassy
after he eats chili.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Well, they I think he wanted me to be a
judge or something, and I'm like, I can't eat a
lot of chili. Bro there'd be a problem for everybody.
And then you both made the well it's an outdoor event. Yeah,
so maybe really not that big a deal, but that's great.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It is Bill Shanahan of the Blowfisher involved. That, of course,
is brought to you in part by oh pub Millhouse. Okay, Well,
and the City of Lexington, not the county, the city.
Now if we go to the county city proper, yes,
the city proper downtown.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
So Jonathan, maybe you'll be going to Trader Joe's to
get your ingredients for your chili recipe. I know people
become obsessed with Trader Joe's and they've just come out
with their sixteenth annual Customer Choice Awards.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Oh now, this is something I would read because I'm
always people are always telling me I got I say,
this is incredible whatever it is, they say, well, you
only get it at Trader Joe's. Well, now I know
something I can actually go in and buy at Trader
Joe's because I don't speak Trader Joe's and I'm immersed
in it like Starbucks, so I don't know what to
buy there unless people tell me specifically what to buy.
This is great for me.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
If you go to ninety seven five WSOS dot com
Morning Rust Blog, not only will you get the answer
for the Jason Eltene concert tickets tomorrow. For what you're
talking about, you also get the best deals at Trader Joe's.
These are the things that they're they're consumers voted on
and said, like, for example, I absolutely love the product
that won the favor overall product. The favorite overall product
(05:50):
is the chili lime flavored corn tortilla chips. Those are
absolutely amazing. I could literally eat that for breakfast, lunch,
and dinner. I love it. If you're looking for something like,
where's the one favorite produce item? Now, this is interesting
because when you're thinking produce, you're like, well, how could
(06:12):
it be different. It's produce. It's an apple, it's a broccoli,
it's a whatever.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
It's a Sumo Mandarin orange. You're all the same.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
They're the only ones who apparently have the teeny tiny avocados,
and for four years in a row, the teeny Tiny
avocados have won favorite produce item. Favorite cheese is the
goat cheese. Favorite beverage is the spiced cider. The favorite
breakfast brunch item is their hash browns. These are frozen
(06:43):
the spice cider.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Sally did send me to get that right after Christmas
because a friend of hers sent me the picture, So
go get this at Trader Joe's. That's exactly the kind
of shopping guide. I need this.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
One now in case you want. So, if we just
go back to the favorite beverages they win, they usually
they sell the most of it in the in the
fall they call it an automobal am I saying it right,
autumnal automonal drink, beating out barely their French Market sparkling lemonade,
(07:15):
which sounds awesome. I would I gotta go get that
just the name sounds awesome. French Market Sparkling Lemonade came
in a close second, and the third runner up was
the Sparkling Honey Crisp Apple Juice.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I wonder if I could find out that the was
it the crisp sparkling.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
European lemonade, the French Market sparkling lemonade French Market.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I wonder if that's an alcohol free version of the
infamous Lemonellos video lemon Cello's lemon Cellos. Yes, yeah, that
was the ones a building cocktail for the Limonicello.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Did in Danny DeVito and George Cloney many years ago.
I think that was like maybe a Today Show interview
or something, and we were both freaking hammered from the
night before, and it was the first time we'd ever
heard of the limonicello, never heard of it, and they
were like, oh yeah, too many limon cellos.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Sounds like a breakfast drink that would rival like a
bloody Mary or a mimosa.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Well, there's a whole bunch of other products you can
check out on the Morning Rust blog if you want
to find out about Trader Joe's. Christopher Walkins got a
very I think odd confession that he makes in a
Wall Street Journal interview this week quote, I've never had
a cell phone. I've never sent or received an email.
I've never what do you call it? Twittered. He also
(08:35):
does not have access to cable television in his home,
and so his new show that he's on, called Severance,
is directed by Ben Stiller. He says, the only way
I'm able to see it is Ben Stiller prints out
DVDs for me. That's great, But the idea of never
owning a phone is I mean, because cell phones came
(08:57):
out like legit. I had a self I want to say,
nineteen eighty eight. I had this big bag phone I
would say the bag phone. Then by the early nineties
they were kind of getting smaller, like you could carry
it in their pocket type of thing.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I had one so small I lost it. It was
like the size of an ink pin.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, there was a remember when speaking of Ben Stiller,
when he had that movie what was it called, where
he was the male model Zulander and they're one of
the jokes that they made was that the phones basically
would be getting smaller because that was the direction we
were going in back in those days. And so to
be cool. When he pulled out his phone, it was
like not even an inch and he was like holding
(09:44):
it and he's like, yeah, but but and the idea
of never buying a computer. Because I'm Christopher Watkins eighty
one years old right now, I get the fact that
at eighty one he's not going to buy a computer,
you know, start investing in technology. But he wasn't eighty
one forty years ago or thirty years ago. He was
in his early fifties. He was younger then than I
(10:06):
am now. Like I've already used you know, like AI
like I'm I'm trying to fool around with it, learn
a little bit about it. That sort of thing. I'm
not good at it or anything, but you know, I
know a little. So it's like, is there going to
come a time in the next five ten years where
they're going to invent something and I'm going to say,
(10:27):
not even going to try it. Everybody's raving about it.
Think about how excited everybody was when AOL came out.
I mean everybody was talking.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
About movies about it.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
We went nuts over the idea that I could plug
my phone into or plug my computer into a wall
and then dial into that and have access legit to
the to the entire planet. Yes, that was insane.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
It was fascinating.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I'm actually still fascinated by that concept. But to not
even want to experience.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
It now, My dad's more of a gadget dude, and
he spent his entire life in the phone company, so
he's technologically he's with it.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
And your dad's older than Christopher Walking. My dad's ninety
one and he's got a phone.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
He's got a phone, got an email address, he watches YouTube,
he's got a laptop, he's got a pad, he's got
he's got all those devices.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Think about how different your life would be if you
didn't have access to cable television, Internet, Internet like Internet
like you just like, like how many times a day
do I say, let me google that? I Google everything? Yeah,
my wife hates that about Google. Yeah, my wife will
say something like history, I.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Found myself googling condoms. Really, we won't talk about it
because it's a political thing.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I like the fact that you just kind of float
that out there and then let it sit there and
let people's imagination run wild. Why was Jonathan Ross googling?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Matt? I was learning how to make a condom bomb? Oh?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Is that going to be next? After you've already mastered
the bitcoin?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Now that will be my next internet hosting. My Facebook
has been hacked, and now we got more corporate people
involved and very excited about it them they actually get
it back. I want it back. I want the photos
off of it.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
The photos of you, or the photos of the happy families.
The photos of it.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Could be photos of Saint Pats or all kinds of phots.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
So your photos, you're not the photos put Okay, I
thought you're talking about the photos happy families who have
benefited from your incredible wisdom with bitcoin.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
This photos that I've shared from places I've been talking
to Morning Russia regulars. They got pictures of me and
Morning Russia regulars that I won't be to gain. I
won't be able to ascertain them if I'm not able
to regain access.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Come on, Corporate, you could go, I mean, if you
wanted to, if it meant a lot to you could
have Lee or somebody, your wife. They could go onto
the website Facebook and they could just screenshot those photos,
or they could I think they might even be able
to download them if they wanted to and send them
to you in an email or something.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I don't think it's going to be a battle for
the name Jonathan Rush because I spell it in like
any other Jonathan, because I didn't spell it an attorney
did when they service part in the name Jonathan Rush.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
But hold on, you're not Jonathan Rush.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I have a professional alias.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
What Yes, this is breaking news.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
My real name is Bucky Goldstein.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Is that why people walk up to me and they go,
tell Bucky, I mean Jonathan.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I said, Hi, Bucky Goldstein. That's a punchline of one
of my favorite jokes of all time.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
All people do love to tell me. They act as
if they can barely remember you on air, name. Well,
I call him Bucky. I guess you might know him
as Jonathan. No, he has another name. Yeah, anyway, Jonathan.
We have a fella who I think is doing wrong.
(13:52):
He is engaged to be married. Let me just read
you a little bit from her email. I'm reading the
wrong email here. Oh my gosh, to get the uh
let me get the right email here. The concept here
is they've been dating for several years. They he proposed
about a year ago. They both agreed to a big wedding.
(14:15):
So in order to have a big wedding, they both agreed,
we have to save a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Big bucks.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah, nobody's coming to the rescue. No, no, mom or dad,
rich uncle. If we're gonna have a big wedding, we
have to pay for it. Let me pick up the
email here. We're gonna get married next year. We're in
the process. We're like looking for the wedding venue right now.
I've seen no red flags. And then out of nowhere,
he reminds me that his favorite team is the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Oh my, they have been to the Super Bowls. It's
ninety seven.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Nod didn't didn't Jason Kelsey win a Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Travis Kelsey. Eg I'm not an NFL fan, and I'm certainly.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Not I know the I'm pretty sure again that shows
you my diminished interest in the NFL. But I thought
that Travis, he might not have Jason Kelsey might have
won a Super Bowl. I know he did something great
for them. But anyway, while we look that up, her
her dilemma is that the boyfriend slash fiance who together
(15:23):
they're investing into this wedding together they've been saving money,
wants to go to New Orleans and see the Eagles play.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Shut the hell up.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
And she's saying, he's talking about this costing several thousand dollars,
and he keeps telling me it's the chance of a lifetime.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
It's a chance of a lifetime, trigger the wedding of
a lifetime.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
So that's it, and that's what that's what she's saying,
Like it's take It takes us a long time to
put away two or three thousand dollars. We don't just
do that like every week, like we put away you know,
like eighty dollars a week or whatever.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Gratulations. At two thousand dollars, you get enough to cover
the photographer.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
And you just and you're taking out a year or
so of savings in order to go see a weekend
Super Bowl? What about our wedding? And his answer is
we can either delay it, oh so we make that
money up and still have the wedding of your dreams,
or we can just scale it, scale it down. How
(16:24):
do you handle this, Jonathan, I think we're gonna hear
from a morning Russ. Your regular is gonna say, let's
say the account has five thousand, five hundred dollars in it.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Okay, You're gonna tell him, look, you can take two
thousand and seven hundred and fifty and beat it. That's
half of the money. That's all you can take. And
then when he's out of town, you're gonna get your
brothers to come over and move all your furniture out,
take the rest of the money out of the account,
and leave him a note. Hope he enjoyed the game.
I've been praying that the Eagles would lose.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
That's brutal.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
I think that's what we're gonna hear tomorrow. That's brutal,
just guessing.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
On February fourth, twenty eighteen, the Eagles won the Super
Bowl forty one thirty three over the Patriots. Okay, so
it's not like it hasn't happened in this guy's life.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
If you mentioned a couple of the commercials, I might
remember that game.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
And in twenty twenty three, which is what that's two
years ago now, they lost to the Chiefs thirty eight
thirty five.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Oh, that's right, because this is a rematch. That's right.
I knew that. I just I'm not an NFL fan.
I don't so they've been twice. I'm a big fan
of Super Bowl Sunday. It's not a big NFL fan.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
They've been twice in like eight years.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
I'm a fan of the game.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
So for him to say it's a once in a lifetime,
I mean, I'm trying to think of some crappy team
that's never been.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I can't believe I just said that out loud. Why
I'm a fan of the game. You are, you're a
fan of the game. But they could be lifted out
of this podcast by some like Tommy Suggs. We'll use
it for his own benefit.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Tommy Suggs is going to be stealing stuff from our podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Hey Tommy, he listens to our podcast sometimes, Hey Tommy,
I may see TV. I may see Tommy Friday night.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I've never met Tommy Suggs. I saw a great guy.
I saw him once in Granger Owens and I said
to myself, that looks like a really rich dude. And
apparently he's done quite well for himself. I guess what
was the insurance or something like that. He owned an
insurance thing.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
And Janey's sewing. She was up in Asheville or somewhere, okay,
and Janey saw him and her original statement to me was,
I bumped into Tommy Suggs and he bore me to
tears talking about you. Oh really, I'm like, what was
Tommy Suggs talking about?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
She said, She laughed and said, no, it was fun,
but yeah, he's he's a big fan of y'alls.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Well that's nice, that's very nice.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
He bore me to tears talking about you.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Well, Tommy, don't use our words against us.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Tommy, don't use that against me. I don't want to
hear that during a game.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
No, I love the game. So if this was your
son suggests saying that I want to do this, or
if this was your daughter who had a fiance, look,
I don't.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Let me get that. Let me get this straight. That's
what I was saying, but probably a couple of expletives
in it. You said that out loud to the girl
who you claimed that you love. So that's immediately going
to put him on the defensive, which where he needs
to be, because he's going to be the defensive with
his fiance.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
If you were a Detroit Lions fan, you could make
the claim if they were in the Super Bowl, this
could be a once not because according to this only
the Lions, the Texans, and the Jaguars have never been
in the Super Bowl. Every other team has been. Those
three didn't have never even a here in a Super Bowl,
and the Jaguars and.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
The Texans were in a championship game, but not a
Super Bowl championship game because the Super Bowl didn't start until.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Was it sixty seven?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Sixty seven?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I think it's sixty seven, And I think, if I
remember right, it was the Dang Chiefs even then getting
written into the Super Bowl. I believe it was the
Dang Chiefs always getting the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Lynn Dawson, Dawson's.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Chain smoking on the sideline right and game I can't
remember the name of the coach, might have been Hank
Stram and whoever the head coach was. He said the phrase,
which I'm sure he would have been canceled today. So
it's not me saying it, it's him saying it. He
was all excited about the offensive play that he had
(20:49):
just called, and he says, look at them boys, they're
running around out there like the Chinese fire drill.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
That was on the NFL films show No Intro every
week back in the seventies. I used to love it.
So not even sure what that even means, but good
times with the NFL. So okay, we got all that
just to win and more.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
What's going on in your neighborhood? We should be talking
about somebody hack your Facebook page? What were they selling?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Band? What have you bought from a hacker?
Speaker 1 (21:23):
That's great? What did you buy from a hacker? All right,
so we could do that. You let us know tomorrow
we start talking, you start talking. Is that the same
number you dial when you start winning? It's eight oh
three nine seven eight nine two sixty seven eighth three
nine seven eight w cos shi T tomorrow. So happy
It's Thursday.
