Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Killing Nash. Hey, what's happening tomorrow? Show? Today Monday,
President's Day. A lot of people got the day off.
We heading into a long weekend of the morning. Rushiaf
he go to be up. We're gonna be up and
with you.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
You know, it's interesting, that's one of those holidays, like
we know what we're supposed to be celebrating.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
On the fourth of July.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
We know we're supposed to be we most of us
know we're supposed to be kind of like respectful, mournful.
During Memorial Day, Yes, Labor Day, we're celebrating the laborers
of the President's Day just it just strikes me as
an odd holiday.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
I'm celebrating the penny.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Well, and that's I mean, that's what I guess a
lot of people will be doing, is celebrating President's Day
by spending dead presidents. Yes, but the penny's gone away.
Everybody's got to buy a mattress apparently. Oh my gosh.
When I was a kid, I remember President's Day sales event.
There was one I don't remember the name of the company,
(00:54):
but they they must have bought out all the local
television and they would always offer you a free cherry pie.
It was a cherry or apple pie, I think, and yeah, yeah,
and the guy would stand there and he's just like
holding up. And even as a child, I mean like
when I say a child, I mean like seven years old,
(01:14):
I'm like watching this guy on TV. And he's in
a suit and he's got these like you know whatever
it's called discount mattresses or something, and you know, even then,
it was like seventy five dollars for a mattress, right,
and he's like, you know, buy the seven and for
President's Day, we'll give you a free cherry pie. And
I'm thinking, well, that's like that that calls like eighty
(01:35):
cents at the grocery store, Like that's not really even valuable.
But that was their big ten. But it stuck with me.
Fifty years later, I still remember the free cherry pie.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
We only do that one year? Or was it so
brought it back?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Oh, they did that every year, I would imagine for
many years, because it's just it's so ingrained in my
memory that you would get a free cherry pie. Because
it was a George Washington trying to cut down a
cherry tree or something. That is that the story George Washington.
That's that's a great waybe. We should do that one day.
What is the first stupid commercial you remember? And how
(02:09):
old were you? Oh my gosh, the first stupid commercial
you ever saw? Were you said, who the hell would
buy that? Or who would buy that?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
For that?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Have you heard or seen an intelligent commercial?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, well that's true too.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I do remember. Did you guys have Carvels down here?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
No, that was a big ice cream thing up in
the up in the northeast. And the guy, Frank Carvell
I think was his name, was the owner of Carvel's
and he was one hundred and fifty years old then,
and I just remember he would talk in the commercials.
They would show you the b roll of them making
a soft serve ice cream and their big their big
thing was Fudgie the Whale, okay, And just the way
(02:49):
he would say Fudgie the whale. He'd be like and no,
be good, Fudgie. And we would imitate him like in
middle school, it's your birthday, You're gonna get Veggie theheah
for your birthday party this weekend.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
And see that was catchy. They caught on. That had
an impact. You had people reciting your slogan at the school.
This guy was a marketing genius. Carvel's worked as opposed
to the dude giving out the cherry pie. But it
must have worked. Who am I to argue?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I don't know if I don't remember the name of
the store, but I'm pretty sure the name Discount Mattresses
was involved.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I don't know who I'm going to celebrate on President's Day.
I got a couple of Bill Clinton ideas.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Why aren't we celebrating them all? Like, by by law,
you have to celebrate Joe Biden. By law, Yes, you're
gonna acknowledge Joe Biden and celebrate him.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Maybe I should send him a fudgie the whale ice cream?
So could what? I wonder?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
This would be interesting because I don't think I can
do it, and I'm pretty into politics. How what percentage
of Americans can name the forty seven presidents?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Wow, that's a great question. You get past three, you
get a little dicey.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Well, I mean I can go back through Eisenhower pretty easily. Truman.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I mean, after you've named the first three, it gets
a little dicey. Then you could probably name the last three.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Oh, I go backwards, So that way I get let's
say this phrase like you're snowballing, you're building on it.
You're getting a win. I got a win. I got
Biden right, Okay? Who is that Trump? I got him right, okay?
And I'm just building. But once I get past FDR,
I know. The only reason I know who was before
FDR is because of the song from Archie Bunker. Okay,
(04:36):
otherwise I would have forgotten. But you know, you get
into the eighteen hundreds, I'm totally lost. I don't know.
I mean, I can obviously I can name abe Lincoln,
who replaced Lincoln. I don't know off the top of
my head. Who was before Lincoln? Who came in? And
I don't know. These these are questions, and yet I'm
(04:58):
expected to celebrate them tomorrow or Monday.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I'm not going to say that out loud again because
that could be willfully will.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
And think about this. At one point they were the
most celebrated people in the country, and it wasn't that
long ago. We can't even name them, no matter how
important you think you are, and within five six generations,
you'll be forgotten.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
You know, And you would think for all those years
until we actually did away with the penny when you
first announced that a link it was going to be
on the penny. What kind of insult does that?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Well, it's better than the Canadian coin on the penny
was one of the Canadian coin. What kind of honor
is that on the other side, it's like a beaver
or whatever it was.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
He's on one side. They had a second place with
to a beaver.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, that's not where there's no honor there. Speaking of animals, Jonathan,
have you seen this video? I just put it up
on the Morning Rest blog at ninety seven five ws
dot com. I don't know if there's anything we can
say about it other than it's un flipping believable.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Some guy.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Down in Chili, I guess it was Adrian samnkis kayaking
over the weekend with his father when a whale pops
out of the water and swallows him whole wow, him
and the kayak gone, and he's gone for about three
or four seconds, and then boop, the whale spit him
(06:25):
back out and he flies back up out of the water. Basically,
it's like it it wasn't there for three days.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I would love to have that ride. That's not what
yes to be swallowed by a whale, and only if
he promises to spit me back out.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
You got to negotiate that in advance.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, what a great ride that is. You can't get
that at six Flags.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I wouldn't want that ride after it's happened. It's a
hell of a story. And the fact that it's on video,
because if this is not a video, if his daughter
or somebody's trying to explain that to somebody, you're not
going to believe what happened to Adrian. A whale came
up and wallowed him whole and then took him under
the water, and then three seconds later he popped back out. Okay, yeah,
(07:07):
have another Mushroom classic. It's a really incredible video and
you can see that on the Morning Rest blog at night.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
You can imagine myself like Nemo. Okay, that was such
a great scene in that movie. I love this scene.
All right, we got that going on.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
We've also obviously we're going to be giving away Laney
Wilson concert tickets. That's very exciting.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Let me check and see if my Valentine's girlfriend, Mallory
has replied to my email. Okay, well, why you check that.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I can tell you that it's not only Laneye Wilson,
but Ernest will be there and some guy who we're
not very familiar with, but I'll give him a little
shout out just because it's the podcast. We won't mention
his name on air, but Drake Milligan will also be performing.
This is on Saturday night, October twenty fifth in Charlotte.
And of course it's the clicks for Ticks, So you
(07:54):
click our our pod or our blog and you get
the word of the day, which is Athanasia.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Athanasia. This is that frightening moment when you wake up
but you can't physically move, but mentally you were awake.
You're frozen, typically in fear. It's like if you woke
up in a bed like, oh I can't I shouldn't
say that person's name, someone who you're not attracted to.
(08:23):
You frozen, you can't move.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
It actually means immortality. Oh okay, nowhere close.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
But it sounded great. Athanasia.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, and I think there are some flowers that are
named Athanasia, but that's where they get it from, so
we're not looking for the answer flowers. And of course,
like we said, just give us the click and just
go to ninety some five ways dot I can give us
the click, you'll see the answer that we're looking for,
because there might be multiple answers. Name what was I
forgot what today's word was, but that one had multiple definitions,
(08:58):
but we were only wanted to one that we gave.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
You, and you got to get the Morning Rush definition.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Now, have you gotten an email back from your friend?
I did not yet as of yet, and so I
guess I'm guessing what that email's about is. You're not
sure what the bonus.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I'm hoping that we find out we have more of
my deceased Valentine tickets to give away. I know that
the Chili cookoff tickets are going to come back next week,
not Monday, but the week after.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
So we may have a bonus.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yes, I'll come up with the bonus. Cries. I'm hoping
it's my de cease Valentines because I'm finding out so
many Morning Rush irregulars want them. And it opens up
tonight Valentine's Night and run tomorrow night, but it's also
going to be open for next weekend. That's probably we
will have them, hopefully for a Monday through Friday, Okay,
or maybe we'll have two or three left over. I'm
not sure yet. We'll find out from Mallory. And we
(09:45):
brought back by Mallory. Do you think Mallory's listening. I
think she listens to our podcast every day.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
That makes me feel good.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
By Mallory, hope you have a great Valentine. Go get
a hickey.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
That's always your advice, isn't it, Get a hickey.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
So this guy's been going to Mida seas Valentine coming
back with a bite mark Ooh, yeah, that's not a hickey.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
No moral dilemma. Monday is back and we'll be doing
this at seven ten. The this fella, I'm just going
to read to you for a part of the email.
My wife and I have been married for years. We've
been getting work done at the house, and we hired
a contractor and you know, we're paying him as it
goes along, and we keep adding to the to the projects. Yeah,
(10:34):
and then once she finishes that part of the project,
we'll pay him. And then she'll say why don't we Hey,
you know what, while you're here, could you do this
or what?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
So?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
But my wife, my wife has been flirting with him.
She wears a little bit more revealing clothing. She's laughing
at all his jokes, all this stuff, and I'm like, okay,
I'm just sitting here in the background, kind of looking
like a fool while my wife is flirting with this.
And I've brought it up to her several times, and
(11:03):
she says, I'm flirting with him to get better prices.
I'm doing this for us.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I'm doing it for us, sugar.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And so I don't know what to say at this point,
do I you know, because I do enjoy lower prices,
But I also feel kind of weird of my wife
is openly flirting with a guy while I'm in the house.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
He's probably not the supervisor. I remember when we did
an addition on a house. The supervisor came back and
he said, what's up with the whatever it was? And
the guy said, well, Sally said she'd love to have
one there. Whatever it was, another window or something. And
(11:45):
the supervisor says, did you write it up in the
change order? You got to have the change order and
you got to put the price on there, and she's
got to sign off on it. And the guy said, no,
I just I just built it in. We don't do that.
Why would you do that? And he said, well, she
fixes this breakfast every morning.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
That's better than flirting. From your perspective. The well, maybe
not breakfast cost you money. There's eggs in there, there's whatever.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
You know, flirting is free.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
That's great. Well she fixes this breakfast. The supervisor got
such a laugh out of that. He actually told me,
tell your wife to stop fixing breakfast. I said, I can't.
I'm not even here. I'm at work. He said, all right, well,
I'll talk to my guys again. I said, well, good luck,
you're ahead of breakfast. You already get hit in time
for breakfast.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Just the way this is written, I don't think there's
a crew. I think this is an individual. He keeps
doing stuff, and she's flirting with that one guy. I
would look, maybe this is an ego thing. I would say,
tell her to stop because I'm a man, and you're
(12:58):
not going to flirt with another guy.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, that's she wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
And and and the fact that if it's saving us,
you know, a few hundred dollars, I can go to
work and make that a few hundred dollars. But I
can't do is go back to work and get my
dignity right. The price on my dignity is now.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I was. I was spared that because I was at work. Well,
Sally was. She wouldn't flirt though she was.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I was gonna say, it's not like she was making
them breakfast in a French maid's house. She was making
she she was not flirting. I know Sally, she's not
gonna flirt with these fellows.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
No, she actually got in trouble again because she basically
became like a mentor of a relationship counselor for one
of the younger guys who was having troubles with his girlfriend.
So how did she get in trouble over that she
was keeping the guy from working because they would sit down,
to go out there and sit down and talk to
him about his girlfriend and give him guidance. So it is,
(13:53):
I can't get any work done around your house. It's
not cooking.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
The moral dilemma, do you tell your wife stuff flirting
I'd rather overpay, or do you just say, hey, you
know what, I'm very comfortable in our relationship. I know exactly.
You're never leaving me.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
You're never gonna leave me and not gonna do anything. Okay,
so you're saving us money? All right? Well, yeah, ray
for cleavage. I don't know how would you respond to that.
That's good cleavage, that's good. Look there's money involved here.
We'll bend principles. That's that. Hey, what's going on in
(14:31):
your neighborhood. We should be talking about. You got a
day awful Monday. You may get up anyway just so
you can win Landy Wilson tickets mm hmm, kidding me.
Possibly deceease Valentine tickets. Maybe if you had a romantic
weekend now you're ready to scare of the Jesus out
of the one you love. That'll be coming up here hopefully,
I think on Monday as well. Maybe a couple of
times next week. We'll let you know as Mallory gets
(14:52):
back to us. You can always reach out to us
on social media. Today should be the day I get
my Facebook page back. That's what I'm working on. It's
my big issue for today.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
You've been saying that for weeks, man.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
But today I'll put the final piece together. They can't
deny me after today, so that'll be coming down and
then you can reach out to us also a by email.
I am rush at ninety seven five w sous dot com.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Nash at ninety seven to five wsos dot com.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
And we'll talk to you Monday if you get it
bright and early. If you're sleeping in, be sure and
wake up at about six twenty because that's when you
get a chance to win your tickets for Landy Wilson.
Then you can all over and go back to sleep,
but you'll be so excited when you win you won't
be able to that'll be okay too,
