Hey, it's Jonathan Rush and Kelly Tomorrow morning.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's the Morning Rush Thursday s h ts so happy
it's Thursday. He and the first day of the Sweet
sixteen and first day of baseball. Okay, it's all kind
of fun stuff happening. We're going to give you a
chance to win, no matter how busted your bracket is,
or even if you don't have a Major League Baseball
franchise you pull for. It's six thirty in the morning,

(00:24):
and what you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Yes, and the.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
Word is obstraparis, obstra paris, obstra paris, ostra ostra op
o b oh b oh oh off the rails out
of control.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Pretty close, difficult to control. Oh, you're you're an unruly individual,
or your hair could be obstetritrosis could be your hair,
your child, whomever, unruly, difficult to control.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
June fifth, the first time I remember hearing that one
of the somebody used that in reference to the behavior of.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
It child good, perfect description.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
I don't want to appear childlike in my ability to
use the English language, so I only made a notation
of it, then looked it up on the internet.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
So we'll get you into the show. How good is
that to that world tour. It's kicking off June fifth
at the Credit One Stadium and Charleston with special guest
Ernest and Redfair and starring Oh Dominion.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
It's even better when it's free. How good is that? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:27):
How good is that? And maybe you'll be singing along.
We got a Morning Russell regular who's got a problem
her and her daughter. Sure, she drives her daughter to
school and they liked listening to WCS. They love all
the country music, okay, and the daughter loves to sing
at the top of her lungs. But according to mom,
she can't sing word at the lick.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
It's horrible. It's annoying.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
And now she's at the point where she doesn't know
should I just tell her please be quiet?

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Absolutely squash it. Early, early on squash it. I squashed
David's ability to sing out. I think when he was
about I think it was maybe seven, So he's.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Like second grader. I'm like, no, let's not do that anymore.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Was it just a one time discussion.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
No? I had to keep reminding him for a while.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
So you just crushed the wheel, right, Oh, I still
do it to this day.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
When we get a family together for a Birthday or something.
Everybody said, David, we're gonna sing Happy Birthday.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
You're mocking them, will he's a man, now I will
mock him.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Wow, that's brutal. I don't know, Jonathan. To me, it
seems like it'd be fun. Why don't you just sing
along with her?

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Well, it's easy for me because I can't sing either.
I don't sing on the Happy Birthday too, you think, But.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
I'm saying if you used to the part in the middle,
if you and David were driving to school together and
David started singing and it's annoying, Yes, What if you,
who also can't sing, started singing along with him? Oh,
and then he hears how annoying.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
It is as well, Let's double down on.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Or it just becomes a fun time for both of you.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
Let's double down on the cacophony, which was the name
of my first album.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
Double Down on the Cacophony. That's not that's not a
bad name for an album.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Double down to the Cacophony tour with me and David
singing along.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, And then one of two things that happened right
when he would stop, Because.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
A I can sing, Jenny can sing, John can sing,
Lee not bad, uh, David, no me, no, no no.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
But it's fun. Do you sing when you're by yourself?

Speaker 4 (03:39):
No? So you just don't like singing, you're just I
can't sing, but you're alone. Ruined it for myself when
I can listen to it. I don't even sing in church.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
But when you're by yourself and the singer is singing,
you're kind of just singing along. It's like you almost
sound like you're in tune.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
The only time I sing is like if it's not
a sing, if it's not if the vocal is devil
went out to Georgia, I do I do the country
wrap part.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Everyone down to Georgia. You're looking for a soul to steal.
He was in a bind right the way behind. He's
looking to make a deal.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
And I know you like to do your Johnny Cash impressions.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
But I only got one of two lines.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
That's all I do, am I Willie Nelson, only only
do one of two lines.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
And it's more in honor of and.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
I try to sound exactly like and I don't, but
everybody knows I'm doing an homage. You got a little
homage lyric goo, but that's it. I don't put anybody
through the hole. She's a good hearted woman. Is if
Whalen Jennings is singing with me.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Well we'll get the answer on how the mom should
handle this with a kid. Or maybe you wanted to
talk about how your family does or does not do
singing lungs in the car, Jonathan. We got a new
survey out. This is two thousand US adults, and apparently
we loved our childhood so much so that we want

(05:01):
the brands back. Bring back the childhood brands. For example,
seventy one percent of people surveyed said that they would
likely shop from brands if they were still available from
their childhood nostalgia years. For example, Serge soda, I never

(05:21):
even heard of it. I never heard of it either. No,
I heard of Serge soda. I never heard of bubblegum jeans,
BlackBerry phones. They liked those Banana ness Quick Yeah, Crystal
PEPSI hated that, but the people who grew up with
it loved it. Most likely to find clothing brands, footwear brands,

(05:48):
phone brands, electronic brands. That's the ranking that they would
go in for the stuff. So what did you have
in your childhood that we don't have available now.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
Like I had to look something up yesterday, Little Sarah.
I told you that the Little Tyke's kitchen was put out,
oh with the wall phone and everything in it, including
a whole stove full of plates and other child like
accessories for two three year old girls.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Everybody had one of these back in the day.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
One of the things that she found, she handed it
to me and I'm like, may I remember this? And
it was a little Hamburger. And I opened it up
and I'm like, this is a transformer. So I googled
it nineteen eighty seven Transformer Hamburgler. The burger turned into
a little transformer.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Wow, that is cool.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
That was very cool.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
I also looked it up on eBay in case she
was about to break something worth about one hundred bucks.
Turns out you buying for like five ninety nine. Go
ahead and break a play with it. I didn't break it.
I just had text the other day with her friend
of mine. I was thinking about some stuff we used
to do. This was a childhood this is the teenage years.
But I just texted him and said, man, remember the
good old days were the only thing we had to

(06:53):
worry about was getting snake bit, you know, and then
we just kind of went back and forth remembering the
good old days.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
I see this.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
Yeah, John pulled out to shoot at oh so that
Sally could shoot out of Cowdy. There's a rumor that
there's coats now coming into forest akers. John pulled out
his Red Rider B B gun and it's laying there
on the dining room table.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
But would you pay to go get a Red Rider
be begun?

Speaker 1 (07:22):
If?

Speaker 3 (07:22):
Because they're not they're not are they for sales?

Speaker 1 (07:24):
I think they are still for sticking. Get one of them.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
I think Ace Hardware still sells those. But if you
couldn't buy them, would you want one? Like, I can't
think of anything that I had in my childhood that
I want back. There's literally nothing from my childhood that
I want back. You kept everything from your childhood, so.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
There's nothinking of stuff that I don't have.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yeah, you you literally kept your childhood in several storage closets.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Some of it's at my mom and dance, well my dad's.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
But like I'm trying to think of like the popular
things from when I was a kid. I remember sassoon
jeans were so hot for the girls, and they looked
great on their Gloria Vanderbilt I think was the other
hot brand, but I think I think they still make those,
don't they. I don't know does Vanderbilt Jean still exist?

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Why am I drawing a blank on this? The very
first video game was it Segre? Did Sega come out?

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Well, all three of them were here, so they got Atari,
Sega and Nintendo Atari.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
The very first slow motion hockey Well, you could adjust
the speed to get out of control. My cousin had
one of those, and I got bored with it real quick,
and I'm like, okay, forget. And I never got into
video games because I wasn't raised with them, unlike all
my kids.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
I get it.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
I understand. Look, we didn't have Mortal Kombat. That would
have been cool. We had something that was like a
hockey game. It was very slow and stupid, so anyway,
that would be cool to have. But I'm sure he
doesn't have it anymore.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
But the point of this survey is seventy one percent
of Americans say that they would buy it if it
was available. Stuff from their childhood, so like, for example,
the original Atari, Nintendo Sega. If for me, I remember
playing the Calico football which had the three dots.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
All right, I couldn't.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
I wouldn't want to play that. If I picked it up,
I'd play it right now for probably two seconds. I'd
go maybe in legitimacy, maybe thirty seconds. I'd play with it,
and I'd go, okay, I don't with that. I wouldn't
pay for it. I wouldn't go out and say, oh,
it's forty dollars.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
The game Boy thing, the palm control game Boy thing,
I pick one of those up. He found it and
I think he played with it for like two minutes.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
You know, these people want to buy a BlackBerry phone.
These people want to buy iPods iPods? Why would you
pick an iPod when you got your phone has every
song ever made on it?

Speaker 4 (09:49):
Is there even availability of downloading to an iPod anymore?

Speaker 1 (09:51):
I guess there is.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
You could It wasn't ninety nine cents a song, right,
I think it was ninety nine cents a song, and
you could hold up to like two hundred songs on
your iPod? Why would you choose to do that? I
want an a try player for eight dollars a month.
You could have the iHeartRadio app, which has not only

(10:13):
you can get it for free with every song ever made.
But then you get with the eight dollars a month
subscription fee or whatever, you can build playlists, all kinds
of playlists, all commercial free.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yeah, every song ever recorded, and you serve the size
of founder's field.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
But they want they want what they had when they
were a kid. Do they want the iPod back? They
they're willing to pay for an iPod? I don't get it.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
I am trying to think of something I'm willing to pay. Well,
you're right, I already have it. And okay, now I'm
I'm thinking about stuff I'm willing to say no.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
So Jonathan's keeping it all. He has it all, and
he's keeping it all.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Now.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
You would have taken it from Sarah if it was
worth a hundred bucks, but it was only worth five.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
I just thought of one, and I don't believe you
could even find this thing on eBay, but I would
love to get one now and save it for little Thomas.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
It's called a crack fire rifle. What does it do?
You You would cock it. It was a lever action
Western rifle.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
You'd cock it and it had a speaker built into
the stock and it would make one of like twenty
different sounds. It'd be a ricochet bullet. Oh, it was
very cool, but you had to cock it every time.
And I have one, and ironically enough I cracked it,
and my best friend at the time had one, and

(11:38):
ironically enough, he set it on fire, so the crackfires
went down to the crack and a fire. We still
laughed about that one.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Wow. The show Reacher. I was telling you about that
the other day. Anthony Michael Hall, who I don't recognize
as the guy from my youth.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
He looks totally different.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Completely different, but he's in there. If you look deep
into his eyes, you can see him. He's still in
there somewhere. But he plays a bad guy on the
New Reacher.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
And his son.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Gives him for a birthday present a cap gun that
he had bought that he said, well, he got that
when he was five years old, and he said, I
ran for two summers with that cap gun until I
think he lost it in the woods or something when
he was like seven. And so his son went to
some antique store and they had that original gun from

(12:30):
like nineteen seventy or something, and so he that's that's it.
And he's like he's like crying as he gets that
cap gun.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
Did it have the caps on the roll where it
would feed through? I guess yeah, the fire like five
or six times? Do you hit the sweet spot?

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Pop?

Speaker 3 (12:47):
Oh and that's a good one. Oh you're really dead now?

Speaker 4 (12:54):
Okay, Hey, what are you hearketing back to? What are
you thinking about as we go through these things? Is
something that you would buy because you have one back
of the day or do you still have something you
know brag about make us all envious? Hey, what's also
what's going on in your neighborhood? What are you getting
ready for tomorrow? Sweet sixteen? How's your bracket?

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Hold it up? Do you see the one of the
office workers won a million bucks?

Speaker 4 (13:21):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (13:21):
That was it, Warren sha Hathaway got plenty of money
over there.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
First time that's ever happened.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Though, A million bucks.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yeah, they had They got thirty one out of the
thirty two games, right, yeah, And so if he had
gotten I think all thirty two, he would have gotten
ten millions. But he got thirty one out of thirty two.
That's the first time that's ever happened. Warren Buffett's been
doing this for a number of years now. And then
there was I think sixteen other employees who won one

(13:50):
hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Hey, I was.

Speaker 4 (13:52):
David told me last night my bracket, which I always
just farmed that out. I took David's bracket and copied it.
David said that my bracket was writing itself as we
get now into the sweet sixteen. But I look the
other day on our office challenge and mine's not even
listed anymore. I figured I was doing so bad that
they did me a favor and took it off.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
I don't think that they can do that. You must
not have uploaded it properly.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
Well. I texted Andrew and I said, hey, nobody else
has populated here yet. Are you sure that I did
this right? And he texted Bank. So I just checked it.
It's there, and then I checked later on and it
was there.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
It was there, Yeah, but it doesn't show up.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
It doesn't show up now this But I've still got
three of my final four, and I got Duke one
of the whole thing. But I do a million, people
do well more than a million. Anyway, what's going on
with your bracket? What you're getting ready for opening the
baseball tomorrow? I've been to a baseball game Hey, uh,
and you went to the softball game. Yeah, you went

(14:53):
to a softball game.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, Shane Biember told me to come down.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
I'll be there. Can You went to a woman's a event.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
I told you. I love women's golf, women's soccer, I
like softball, you like any woman's sport at all. My
favorite version of tennis is women's tennis.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
I would absolutely watching any women play any sport.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Hate women's basketball, Hate it anything where they're trying to
compete like a man, which is what they do in basketball.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Hate it.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
In softball. Well, obviously it's a different sport altogether. I
mean the bases are different. I mean, yes, they also
wear uniforms that are similar they but the ball is different.
The bases are different, everything about the field is different.
That the rules are different. They don't have a bak,
for example, Like you couldn't do what they did in

(15:47):
Hawaii where Hawaii balked off the winning run, which was
an unbelievable play. You can't do that in softball.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
I didn't realize softball didn't have a ball. There's a
whole long list of things I don't know about women's softball. Hey,
