Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Killing Nash, Good morning, Jonathan Ruh. Welcome to Juneteenth. Man.
It's lonely in the hallways around here. Everybody's got the
day off. We're working a day in again tomorrow, and
that's the important thing.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Well, I mean, as you know for us morning show wise,
I mean it's a pretty typical day for us. Because
I saw Teddy is here for sports talk. Yeah, he
came in, Tumbleweed is here, has had nothing to talk
about allmore.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Who's going to feed the cats?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Interestingly that you asked that when I was pulling out
today because I had to go get my vehicle worked on,
so I drop it off at Dodgeland or now Dodd
excuse me, jeep Ram is the official name now I Braystone.
As I was going down there to get the vehicle
worked on, there's apparently somebody has dumped a pound or
(00:46):
so of cat food in the middle of our parking lot.
Really and so there was like ten birds eating. That's great,
and some other stray cats are coming. So the cats
and the birds are getting along right now. It's like
the wild Kingdom. When they have a a pond of
clean water, you'll see animals that normally would kill each
other or together eating or drinking.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Yeah, we have a straight cat here who lived in
the dumpster, and he would go across the street to
the waffle house and get his breakfast every morning, and
sometime i'd see him coming back across the parking lot. Well,
then that cat got pregnant apparently and had kittens. And
now one of our employees here, Mark started feeding the cat.
If you noticed, if you go in the break room
looking for any snacks, you can't find snacks for a staff,
(01:30):
but we've got plenty of male mix. So he feeds
this cat now. And you're telling me, I was laughing
about this yesterday afternoon, just thinking about it. So one
of our big toes around here got home from work
and there was a tail hanging out of the grill.
Where was it hanging out of.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
The car underneath the bumper, And he thought that somehow
because the cat the cat, So it wasn't just one
straight cat. We have a black cat and a gray cat.
The gray cat impregnated the black cat cat had then
four black kittens. Two have gone missing. We're believing that
they've been either eaten by other wild animals or maybe
(02:10):
have fallen off that cliff that we have in the
back into the quarry. But we don't believe they're with
us anymore because now it's just been the mom cat
hates the dad cat, by the way, because when the
dad cat tries to come and get food, the mom
cat goes for the eyes every time, just trying to
kill that guy. So now we're down. I noticed the
(02:31):
other day we were down from two kittens. Now we're
down to one kit, that's all. Yeah. And I said,
did we lose another one? And I thought that that
one had maybe, you know, fallen prey to some sort
of big bird or something like that. But the big
toe told me that no. What happened was that cat
somehow climbed up inside his vehicle and rode with him
(02:54):
the you know, roughly twenty five miles to his house.
And when he got out and he saw the tail,
he thought that he had killed the cat, and so
he put on some gloves to come back out, and
he was going to open up the hood and go
to work on trying to clean up the engine. And
when he opened up the the engine, the cat was
somehow inside the and it jumped out from the and
(03:16):
tried to kill him. I was trying to attack him.
So thank god he had the gloves on, because he
said those little cat claws would would have sliced them
to ribbons had those work gloves on, very sharp and
uh so now and then I said, what happened to
the cat? He said, well, it got away from me,
so it's somewhere in my neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Now cat moved from Richland to Lexnon County.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
So now we're down to the one mom cat who
is constantly fighting the male cat, and the one kitten
who is now apparently almost at the age of sexual maturity.
We should expect some more cats to start coming around
as they entered the heating.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
How much do I love cats.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Right, especially the feral cats.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yes, I love the I like them wild they are
with the sharp claws.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Those are the sharpest.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
So and I was wondering because I know it's happened.
I believe this happened in like the fall of the year,
because the cat apparently was getting warm inside under the
hood on top of the engine and a friend of
mine cranked it up and that was the end of
that cat. But it made a ruckus, so the cat
didn't die instantly, just made a ruckus. But I was
wondering how many morning Washia regulars have ever picked up
(04:28):
a stray animal unbeknownst to them under the hood of
their car, because I know we've heard about snakes calling
up in the car. Rats certainly will get up in
a park car if you leave it there long enough,
or a tractor, they'll get up in there start chewing
wires and stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I remember a video that the posting courier had. Gosh,
you know, it's hard for me to judge years anymore.
I have to first say, did it happen pre covid,
because if it did happen pre COVID, that at least
five years ago now. So I'm thinking this was a
pre COVID video that's like maybe twenty eighteen something like that,
where I think it was a rattlesnake was underneath the
(05:04):
hood of a car or something, and somehow, while the
guy was driving it somehow went up and under and
then back. I guess maybe it came through like where
the windshield wipers are. And this guy's driving down the
road with like a four foot rattle snake on the
windshield and he's putting the windshield wipers on trying to
(05:26):
get it off, and the snake was too resilient, and
I think he eventually had to figure out a way
to pull over and maybe get a stick or something.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Again, the windshield.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You gotta wait till he's on the other side of
the windshield and then make a dash for it. Crazy,
but just.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Going through the car wash, you know what.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
That's why you're a genius. As long as you don't
have to roll the window down in order to pay
somebody or do something.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
If I get the little udier, I'm a member of
the club. Just pull up it rates a stick or
he drives right, don't there? There you go.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Honey fuggle is what we're talking about tomorrow, Jonathan. That's
the word of the day. Honeyfuggle. What's you talking about?
What you think it means?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Man? This is a this is a new age word.
This does not go back to Greek. There's no Greek
or Latin origin to this word. And it is a
it's an it's an it's an item that you seemingly
never get off the honeydew list.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Oh so like something like change the gutters or something
like that, that's a honeyfuggle. No, but that's a great description. Okay,
this is somebody sweet talking to deceive or swindle.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Oh you're using.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Sweet talk to deceive or swindle, So you shut your
honeyfuggle mouth.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
This is a good word. This is a really good word.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Okay, you're over there, honeyfuggling. Get out of here. That anyway,
if you know that definition, tomorrow when we do the
what you talk About contest around six thirty, you get
the pair of tickets, the final pair of tickets that
we have for next Thursday night's concert Thomas Rhett down
in Charleston at the credit when.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Stay talking specifically to deceive or swindle, Yes, specifically for
that reason, that's the definition.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
So maybe it could be your sweet talking like your spouse. Sure,
because you're cheating on them, so you're deceiving them.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Good.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I spent all day thinking about you, and in reality,
you were hooking up with somebody.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Else, trying to build up that contrust.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, it could be that you're trying to sweet talk
somebody out of some money.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Like you see girls do all the time with the
older guys.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I think the older guys know that though of course
they know what so that's what they're paying it for.
I'm not being swindled if I'm an active participant. Yeah,
but like you know, like you say, these people calling
in the telemarketers who are not really telemarketers. There people
just here to rip you off. Those those have got
a lot of honeyfuggling going on over there. Did you
(08:08):
see If you haven't seen the video yet, it's pretty
massive the explosion that happened last night at SpaceX.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I've read about it, but I haven't seen the video.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
You can see the video on the Morning Rest blog
at ninety seven five to b sos dot com.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I figured it was pretty big from actually posted description. Otherwise,
I just keep that under my hat.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Well, inside our story, there's a quote from somebody named
Arley Can't two and Arleykantwo tells them San Antonio dot
com they live in Brownsville. Yeah, our whole house shook
and we actually had something fall off the wall.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Now, by the way, that's twenty two miles from where
it happened. Twenty two miles away. That's how big this
explosion is. And we got it on video. It's big
and nothing's happening. As the engineers described it, this was
what we call a static fire. Test and the starship
was wasn't supposed to take off. It was being filled
(09:09):
with a mixture of liquid oxygen and methane fuel when
it just they don't know why something went wrong and
the whole thing exploded. Now you would think, because this
looks like it's a pretty major setback. The rocket is gone.
I mean there's not even parts of the rocket left.
(09:29):
It's all gone. But Elon Musk this morning tweeting out
this is all you tweeted out. Just a scratch, that's
all he tweeted. He didn't make reference to anything else.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I didn't read that part. Just a scratch, Just a scratch.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
So when Elon loses one hundred and twenty million dollars rocket,
just a scratch.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Oh I got you. Okay, okay, now see what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Nothing to see here, No need to get yourself worried
what yourself? Have you ever had a major setback in business?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Sure, that's one of those things where because this is
I'm major deal. I mean that's the rocket is gone
and that's what we do here. But he's I like
his attitude. It's just a scratch, just to scratch, easily overcomeable,
maybe somebody will call in tomorrow. Let's know about some
of their setbacks and how they overcame them. Let's see
(10:20):
what else we have for you on the Morning Rush blog.
This is an interesting survey. I think they asked twenty
five hundred Americans what will life be like in America
in the year twenty sixty five?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Wow, forty years from now?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Now? Think back nineteen eighty five. Would you have been
able to guess what life would be like today? I
don't think that there's any possible way. I had heard
rumblings of something called the internet, but I didn't even
really know what it meant. And I don't even think
most Americans knew what the internet meant in nineteen eighty five. Hell,
there's that famous video of Katie Kirk on The Today
(11:00):
Show sometime around nineteen ninety three asking what is the Internet?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
What? What is it? Dog? Is it calm? What is that?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah? What does it do? What does the internet do?
What do you do on that? And if you again,
for those younger people, you might not. It's it's hard
to understand that we didn't know what that meant yet
because it hadn't been invented yet. There are so many
things that are being invented right now. I can't imagine.
I wouldn't even answer this question. But here's the answers.
(11:33):
That they gave the median price of a house. They
have said it at six hundred and eighty two twenty dollars.
Currently it's roughly four hundred thousand dollars in America. For
them to think that in forty years the price of
a house is going to go up, what is that like?
About twenty five percent?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
What would you even how could you even wrap your
nagging around number to offer? And why would you offer
that one? That makes no sense?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I mean, I would imagine that the medium household price
in nineteen excuse me, in twenty sixty five. I based
this off the fact that the house that my parents
bought in nineteen seventy two sure was I believe twenty
thousand dollars. That house is now valued at over three
hundred thousand dollars. So from twenty two thousand it doubled,
(12:27):
it then doubled again, It then doubled again, and then
doubled again in roughly fifty years. So in forty years,
I would expect the price to have at least doubled
and doubled once more. So your three hundred thousand dollars
house today should be six hundred then one point two million,
(12:47):
at least one point two million. Given that we're still
using the dollar. Will we have a world currency instead?
I mean, obviously you saw that. You saw that in
the Europe in Europe right a different countries they broke
up their money and they called it the Yeah, they
went from the pound and the whatever else that they
all had at the time.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
That we have the new universal dollar by then, I.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Would guess we will. They also say that.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
The global they'll be called glob bills. It's a global dollar,
the globe bill.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Seventy percent of Americans don't think that anyone will be
able to retire in forty years. You will have to
work till you're dead.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
See, I think that you get the other people that
say you're not gonna be working at all.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah, I would say the exact opposite would be having
wile e because I mean, again, just following trends, you
had to work till you were dead until probably for
most people to the late fifties early sixties. If you
look at any generation before that, there was no retirement.
There was no four to oh one k plan or anything.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Retirements not mentioned. In the older of the New Testament.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
There was no social security. You worked or you died.
Those were your two up.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Starved, Yes, you died, yeah, hungary.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Like the Bible said, those who don't work don't eat.
So that's the way it was in the olden days.
And by the olden days, I mean one hundred years ago.
Since then, people have been able to retire. When they
set up social security, life expectancy was sixty seven and
you've got to retire at sixty two and a half,
(14:22):
so they expected you to live about four and a
half years of retirement. The average retirement age now is
eighteen years. Yes, so the trend is working on thirty.
The trend is my gosh, we're thirty. Many people are
going to be retired longer than they actually work. Yes,
so I would imagine that trend is going to continue.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I still think it's going to be more like wall E.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
And when you say it's going to be like Wally,
what do you mean by that? People will not They
will have not even walked. They would have have acraft
that you float around the world, and you don't. You
don't walk I mean, you don't work, you don't you
don't exercise at all. You're just a glob of human tissue.
(15:10):
You're a meatbag.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yes, it's a disgusting characterization of what America, what what
the world will be like.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
While he well, you know, it's interesting. I was watching
a guy talking about AI and the implementation, and he
was talking about one of the things that would be
the demise of a lot of human beings is what
you're talking about, that life becomes too easy physically, and
that human beings don't do well when they're not challenged.
(15:42):
You were designed, if you believe in God, God designed
you to do hard things.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
You need a good challenge in life and a reason
to get up and get going.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
And when you look at like health conditions of Western culture,
not just Americans, but Western Western nerves and general physically,
our lives have become too easy and that's been one
of the probably I would guess the number one cause
for death an illness would be a life of leisure.
(16:14):
And so you're designed to push yourself. You're designed to
get up and do hard things, whether it was in order.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
To eat something, Yeah, you needed to eat.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
So back in those days you know, before we even
had farms, people were, you know, you had to go hunting.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
And hunters and gatherers.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah, and then we created farms. Which Jonathan grew up
on a farm, and even with the quote unquote modern
technology of the nineteen sixties, farm life, by no one's standards,
was ever considered an easy life.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
The tractor didn't do at all.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
No, there's a lot of work to be done.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Now they've got a tractor that will do it all.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
So that's going to That's what he thinks the demise
of human beings will be is that life is too
easy in the future, not that it's too hard, that
it's too easy. The cost of everything when you just
look when I think about you know, it's fun. Go
take a look at like a radio shack commercial on
YouTube from like the nineteen seventies or nineteen eighties, and
(17:10):
look at the prices that people paid for a calculator.
A handheld calculator was like forty dollars, which by today's standards,
a handheld calculator would be like two hundred dollars. That's
what it was. So it was a two hundred dollars
equivalent to buy a calculator if you wanted a computer.
When they first started rolling those things out in the eighties,
those were like, literally at that time, like three thousand dollars.
(17:34):
A VCR would cost you like six hundred dollars, which
by today's standards, even using today's money, at six hundred dollars,
i'd be an incredible amount of money to pay for
something like that. But using today's value of a dollar,
that would be like an eighteen hundred dollars purchase. Everything
is so much cheaper now. Everything is cheaper even when
(17:55):
the mobile phones came out. Even before mobile phones came out,
I remember when you'd have to call your relatives in
California or wherever. Your mom would tell you practice what
you're going to say, because we're going to try to
get it in in less than two minutes. Yeah, because
we're getting charged by minute, So you got two minutes
to tell your aunt.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
About ten seconds. That's two minutes, yeah, yeah, So that's
why we're gonna do it in under two minutes. So
at a minute thirty, mom's wrapping you up because you
got to get off the phone. So you got to
tell her about how you did in Little league, got
to tell her about how you did on the math test.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Got to tell them about swimming lessons. You got ninety seconds,
and then we're gonna say goodbye, I love you and
go and but but now phone calls are free basically.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
For all intents and purposes.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yes, life is getting so much cheaper. Life is very easy,
and that's I imagine that will be the downfall.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I agree with that guy.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, you got to You gotta challenge yourself, and it's
tough to challenge yourself if you don't.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I need to go back and watch that movie again.
I haven't seen it in twenty years.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Well you love that you love to say that.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Well, I can't even remember why it said that way
I got it. I definitely have to go back and
watch this movie. I know it's a leftist propaganda film
with the environmental issues of the day. Then I got
to go back and watch it now see how much
how what their foresight was and what the environment would
be like in twenty years because we're supposed to be
under water according to.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Some this movie that I was watching yesterday or the
video the guy says the matrix accurately predicted the future
in nineteen ninety nine. When that came out and talking
about how the Matrix was designed to be a utopia
for human beings, but human beings couldn't handle utopia.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Oh that's a good point. So I need to go
back and watch the Matrix again. I haven't seen that
in a long time.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
We have a Morning Russia regular, Jonathan, who she's getting
a little blowback from the FAM And I get it.
If you're getting a gift of any kind, you even
if you don't want the gift, it's response. The responsible
response is to be excited acted, fake it, fake it
(20:08):
till you make it.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yes, you have to be appreciative and excited, exuberant.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
So this comes in from Tom. Tom's a pretty generic name.
Hopefully his wife's not listening. He says, I never believed
my wife before, but we had a gender reveal party
for our next child and found out that it's going
to be another girl. And I could actually see the
disappointment on her face, like I guess, you know, we've
(20:43):
had two other daughters, and I guess she was hoping
for a son. And I'll be honest, I was disappointed
as well. I would like to have a son. But
now we're both kind of angry with each other for showing,
for showing on our faces that we were not happy.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
You cannot surprise the parents with this. You're surprising everybody
else because this is the problem. You always want a
boy or a girl. That's what the whole theme is.
You show up wearing something peak or something blue, even
if you're not even you know the mom or the dad.
You're part of the party. It's gonna be one of
the two. But you can't show you're disappointed. And I'm
(21:24):
talked to the guy last week had four daughters. He said,
I finally gave up. I couldn't afford another shot. I
can't play this game any paying for four weddings, I
can't afford a fifth. Oh my god, I'll do without
the boy. I'll rent one.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Wow. And you know, obviously a lot of people feel
like it's important, especially the dads. They feel it's important
to have a guy to hopefully carry on the family name.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Oh, that's always a big point, especially in the South. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Like my wife, she has kept her maiden name and
is now using it as her middle name. So she's
combined her middle initials M and L. The L stands
for the Board, which is her father's name. Right, he's
Robert Leboard. She was Angela Michelle Laboard. So now her
(22:15):
full name if she signs it is Angela m. L.
Nash because she's trying to He has no sons, he
has four daughters.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
It's going to end right here.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
This is the end of the board line right here.
It dies when he dies.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
You can't show the disappointment in the video because your
kid's going to see the video when they grow up
and they go, they go, why his dad looks? Why
is dad crying?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Oh crying?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Oh, he's happy.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
He's so happy.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
That's why he's crying.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
That's why he's kicking the wall. He's so happy.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
He's so happy. He can't believe it. Is making sure
he's awake.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
But I mean, you couldn't fake it there in public.
I mean in private, I get it, But in public,
in front of the friends and family, you gotta say, oh, yeah, ah,
this is great. Just praying for just praying for five
fingers and or was it ten fingers? Ten toes? That's
all I care about.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Hey, what's going on in your neighborhood we should be
talking about. You know, how to reach out to us
on social media? You can you can also email us
I am rushing at ninety seven to five w cous
dot com.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Nash at ninety seven five to b c us dot com.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Tomorrow Morning Get six thirty is your last chance of
the week to win Thomas Rhet tickets tomorrow on the
Morning Watch
Hello, Killing Nash, Good morning, Jonathan Ruh. Welcome to Juneteenth. Man.
It's lonely in the hallways around here. Everybody's got the
day off. We're working a day in again tomorrow, and
that's the important thing.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Well, I mean, as you know for us morning show wise,
I mean it's a pretty typical day for us. Because
I saw Teddy is here for sports talk. Yeah, he
came in, Tumbleweed is here, has had nothing to talk
about allmore.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Who's going to feed the cats?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Interestingly that you asked that when I was pulling out
today because I had to go get my vehicle worked on,
so I drop it off at Dodgeland or now Dodd
excuse me, jeep Ram is the official name now I Braystone.
As I was going down there to get the vehicle
worked on, there's apparently somebody has dumped a pound or
(00:46):
so of cat food in the middle of our parking lot.
Really and so there was like ten birds eating. That's great,
and some other stray cats are coming. So the cats
and the birds are getting along right now. It's like
the wild Kingdom. When they have a a pond of
clean water, you'll see animals that normally would kill each
other or together eating or drinking.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Yeah, we have a straight cat here who lived in
the dumpster, and he would go across the street to
the waffle house and get his breakfast every morning, and
sometime i'd see him coming back across the parking lot. Well,
then that cat got pregnant apparently and had kittens. And
now one of our employees here, Mark started feeding the cat.
If you noticed, if you go in the break room
looking for any snacks, you can't find snacks for a staff,
(01:30):
but we've got plenty of male mix. So he feeds
this cat now. And you're telling me, I was laughing
about this yesterday afternoon, just thinking about it. So one
of our big toes around here got home from work
and there was a tail hanging out of the grill.
Where was it hanging out of.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
The car underneath the bumper, And he thought that somehow
because the cat the cat, So it wasn't just one
straight cat. We have a black cat and a gray cat.
The gray cat impregnated the black cat cat had then
four black kittens. Two have gone missing. We're believing that
they've been either eaten by other wild animals or maybe
(02:10):
have fallen off that cliff that we have in the
back into the quarry. But we don't believe they're with
us anymore because now it's just been the mom cat
hates the dad cat, by the way, because when the
dad cat tries to come and get food, the mom
cat goes for the eyes every time, just trying to
kill that guy. So now we're down. I noticed the
(02:31):
other day we were down from two kittens. Now we're
down to one kit, that's all. Yeah. And I said,
did we lose another one? And I thought that that
one had maybe, you know, fallen prey to some sort
of big bird or something like that. But the big
toe told me that no. What happened was that cat
somehow climbed up inside his vehicle and rode with him
(02:54):
the you know, roughly twenty five miles to his house.
And when he got out and he saw the tail,
he thought that he had killed the cat, and so
he put on some gloves to come back out, and
he was going to open up the hood and go
to work on trying to clean up the engine. And
when he opened up the the engine, the cat was
somehow inside the and it jumped out from the and
(03:16):
tried to kill him. I was trying to attack him.
So thank god he had the gloves on, because he
said those little cat claws would would have sliced them
to ribbons had those work gloves on, very sharp and
uh so now and then I said, what happened to
the cat? He said, well, it got away from me,
so it's somewhere in my neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Now cat moved from Richland to Lexnon County.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
So now we're down to the one mom cat who
is constantly fighting the male cat, and the one kitten
who is now apparently almost at the age of sexual maturity.
We should expect some more cats to start coming around
as they entered the heating.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
How much do I love cats.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Right, especially the feral cats.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yes, I love the I like them wild they are
with the sharp claws.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Those are the sharpest.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
So and I was wondering because I know it's happened.
I believe this happened in like the fall of the year,
because the cat apparently was getting warm inside under the
hood on top of the engine and a friend of
mine cranked it up and that was the end of
that cat. But it made a ruckus, so the cat
didn't die instantly, just made a ruckus. But I was
wondering how many morning Washia regulars have ever picked up
(04:28):
a stray animal unbeknownst to them under the hood of
their car, because I know we've heard about snakes calling
up in the car. Rats certainly will get up in
a park car if you leave it there long enough,
or a tractor, they'll get up in there start chewing
wires and stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I remember a video that the posting courier had. Gosh,
you know, it's hard for me to judge years anymore.
I have to first say, did it happen pre covid,
because if it did happen pre COVID, that at least
five years ago now. So I'm thinking this was a
pre COVID video that's like maybe twenty eighteen something like that,
where I think it was a rattlesnake was underneath the
(05:04):
hood of a car or something, and somehow, while the
guy was driving it somehow went up and under and
then back. I guess maybe it came through like where
the windshield wipers are. And this guy's driving down the
road with like a four foot rattle snake on the
windshield and he's putting the windshield wipers on trying to
(05:26):
get it off, and the snake was too resilient, and
I think he eventually had to figure out a way
to pull over and maybe get a stick or something.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Again, the windshield.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You gotta wait till he's on the other side of
the windshield and then make a dash for it. Crazy,
but just.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Going through the car wash, you know what.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
That's why you're a genius. As long as you don't
have to roll the window down in order to pay
somebody or do something.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
If I get the little udier, I'm a member of
the club. Just pull up it rates a stick or
he drives right, don't there? There you go.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Honey fuggle is what we're talking about tomorrow, Jonathan. That's
the word of the day. Honeyfuggle. What's you talking about?
What you think it means?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Man? This is a this is a new age word.
This does not go back to Greek. There's no Greek
or Latin origin to this word. And it is a
it's an it's an it's an item that you seemingly
never get off the honeydew list.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Oh so like something like change the gutters or something
like that, that's a honeyfuggle. No, but that's a great description. Okay,
this is somebody sweet talking to deceive or swindle.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Oh you're using.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Sweet talk to deceive or swindle, So you shut your
honeyfuggle mouth.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
This is a good word. This is a really good word.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Okay, you're over there, honeyfuggling. Get out of here. That anyway,
if you know that definition, tomorrow when we do the
what you talk About contest around six thirty, you get
the pair of tickets, the final pair of tickets that
we have for next Thursday night's concert Thomas Rhett down
in Charleston at the credit when.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Stay talking specifically to deceive or swindle, Yes, specifically for
that reason, that's the definition.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
So maybe it could be your sweet talking like your spouse. Sure,
because you're cheating on them, so you're deceiving them.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Good.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I spent all day thinking about you, and in reality,
you were hooking up with somebody.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Else, trying to build up that contrust.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, it could be that you're trying to sweet talk
somebody out of some money.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Like you see girls do all the time with the
older guys.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I think the older guys know that though of course
they know what so that's what they're paying it for.
I'm not being swindled if I'm an active participant. Yeah,
but like you know, like you say, these people calling
in the telemarketers who are not really telemarketers. There people
just here to rip you off. Those those have got
a lot of honeyfuggling going on over there. Did you
(08:08):
see If you haven't seen the video yet, it's pretty
massive the explosion that happened last night at SpaceX.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I've read about it, but I haven't seen the video.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
You can see the video on the Morning Rest blog
at ninety seven five to b sos dot com.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I figured it was pretty big from actually posted description. Otherwise,
I just keep that under my hat.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Well, inside our story, there's a quote from somebody named
Arley Can't two and Arleykantwo tells them San Antonio dot
com they live in Brownsville. Yeah, our whole house shook
and we actually had something fall off the wall.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Now, by the way, that's twenty two miles from where
it happened. Twenty two miles away. That's how big this
explosion is. And we got it on video. It's big
and nothing's happening. As the engineers described it, this was
what we call a static fire. Test and the starship
was wasn't supposed to take off. It was being filled
(09:09):
with a mixture of liquid oxygen and methane fuel when
it just they don't know why something went wrong and
the whole thing exploded. Now you would think, because this
looks like it's a pretty major setback. The rocket is gone.
I mean there's not even parts of the rocket left.
(09:29):
It's all gone. But Elon Musk this morning tweeting out
this is all you tweeted out. Just a scratch, that's
all he tweeted. He didn't make reference to anything else.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I didn't read that part. Just a scratch, Just a scratch.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
So when Elon loses one hundred and twenty million dollars rocket,
just a scratch.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Oh I got you. Okay, okay, now see what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Nothing to see here, No need to get yourself worried
what yourself? Have you ever had a major setback in business?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Sure, that's one of those things where because this is
I'm major deal. I mean that's the rocket is gone
and that's what we do here. But he's I like
his attitude. It's just a scratch, just to scratch, easily overcomeable,
maybe somebody will call in tomorrow. Let's know about some
of their setbacks and how they overcame them. Let's see
(10:20):
what else we have for you on the Morning Rush blog.
This is an interesting survey. I think they asked twenty
five hundred Americans what will life be like in America
in the year twenty sixty five?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Wow, forty years from now?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Now? Think back nineteen eighty five. Would you have been
able to guess what life would be like today? I
don't think that there's any possible way. I had heard
rumblings of something called the internet, but I didn't even
really know what it meant. And I don't even think
most Americans knew what the internet meant in nineteen eighty five. Hell,
there's that famous video of Katie Kirk on The Today
(11:00):
Show sometime around nineteen ninety three asking what is the Internet?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
What? What is it? Dog? Is it calm? What is that?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah? What does it do? What does the internet do?
What do you do on that? And if you again,
for those younger people, you might not. It's it's hard
to understand that we didn't know what that meant yet
because it hadn't been invented yet. There are so many
things that are being invented right now. I can't imagine.
I wouldn't even answer this question. But here's the answers.
(11:33):
That they gave the median price of a house. They
have said it at six hundred and eighty two twenty dollars.
Currently it's roughly four hundred thousand dollars in America. For
them to think that in forty years the price of
a house is going to go up, what is that like?
About twenty five percent?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
What would you even how could you even wrap your
nagging around number to offer? And why would you offer
that one? That makes no sense?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I mean, I would imagine that the medium household price
in nineteen excuse me, in twenty sixty five. I based
this off the fact that the house that my parents
bought in nineteen seventy two sure was I believe twenty
thousand dollars. That house is now valued at over three
hundred thousand dollars. So from twenty two thousand it doubled,
(12:27):
it then doubled again, It then doubled again, and then
doubled again in roughly fifty years. So in forty years,
I would expect the price to have at least doubled
and doubled once more. So your three hundred thousand dollars
house today should be six hundred then one point two million,
(12:47):
at least one point two million. Given that we're still
using the dollar. Will we have a world currency instead?
I mean, obviously you saw that. You saw that in
the Europe in Europe right a different countries they broke
up their money and they called it the Yeah, they
went from the pound and the whatever else that they
all had at the time.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
That we have the new universal dollar by then, I.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Would guess we will. They also say that.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
The global they'll be called glob bills. It's a global dollar,
the globe bill.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Seventy percent of Americans don't think that anyone will be
able to retire in forty years. You will have to
work till you're dead.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
See, I think that you get the other people that
say you're not gonna be working at all.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah, I would say the exact opposite would be having
wile e because I mean, again, just following trends, you
had to work till you were dead until probably for
most people to the late fifties early sixties. If you
look at any generation before that, there was no retirement.
There was no four to oh one k plan or anything.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Retirements not mentioned. In the older of the New Testament.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
There was no social security. You worked or you died.
Those were your two up.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Starved, Yes, you died, yeah, hungary.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Like the Bible said, those who don't work don't eat.
So that's the way it was in the olden days.
And by the olden days, I mean one hundred years ago.
Since then, people have been able to retire. When they
set up social security, life expectancy was sixty seven and
you've got to retire at sixty two and a half,
(14:22):
so they expected you to live about four and a
half years of retirement. The average retirement age now is
eighteen years. Yes, so the trend is working on thirty.
The trend is my gosh, we're thirty. Many people are
going to be retired longer than they actually work. Yes,
so I would imagine that trend is going to continue.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I still think it's going to be more like wall E.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
And when you say it's going to be like Wally,
what do you mean by that? People will not They
will have not even walked. They would have have acraft
that you float around the world, and you don't. You
don't walk I mean, you don't work, you don't you
don't exercise at all. You're just a glob of human tissue.
(15:10):
You're a meatbag.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yes, it's a disgusting characterization of what America, what what
the world will be like.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
While he well, you know, it's interesting. I was watching
a guy talking about AI and the implementation, and he
was talking about one of the things that would be
the demise of a lot of human beings is what
you're talking about, that life becomes too easy physically, and
that human beings don't do well when they're not challenged.
(15:42):
You were designed, if you believe in God, God designed
you to do hard things.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
You need a good challenge in life and a reason
to get up and get going.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
And when you look at like health conditions of Western culture,
not just Americans, but Western Western nerves and general physically,
our lives have become too easy and that's been one
of the probably I would guess the number one cause
for death an illness would be a life of leisure.
(16:14):
And so you're designed to push yourself. You're designed to
get up and do hard things, whether it was in order.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
To eat something, Yeah, you needed to eat.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
So back in those days you know, before we even
had farms, people were, you know, you had to go hunting.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
And hunters and gatherers.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah, and then we created farms. Which Jonathan grew up
on a farm, and even with the quote unquote modern
technology of the nineteen sixties, farm life, by no one's standards,
was ever considered an easy life.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
The tractor didn't do at all.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
No, there's a lot of work to be done.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Now they've got a tractor that will do it all.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
So that's going to That's what he thinks the demise
of human beings will be is that life is too
easy in the future, not that it's too hard, that
it's too easy. The cost of everything when you just
look when I think about you know, it's fun. Go
take a look at like a radio shack commercial on
YouTube from like the nineteen seventies or nineteen eighties, and
(17:10):
look at the prices that people paid for a calculator.
A handheld calculator was like forty dollars, which by today's standards,
a handheld calculator would be like two hundred dollars. That's
what it was. So it was a two hundred dollars
equivalent to buy a calculator if you wanted a computer.
When they first started rolling those things out in the eighties,
those were like, literally at that time, like three thousand dollars.
(17:34):
A VCR would cost you like six hundred dollars, which
by today's standards, even using today's money, at six hundred dollars,
i'd be an incredible amount of money to pay for
something like that. But using today's value of a dollar,
that would be like an eighteen hundred dollars purchase. Everything
is so much cheaper now. Everything is cheaper even when
(17:55):
the mobile phones came out. Even before mobile phones came out,
I remember when you'd have to call your relatives in
California or wherever. Your mom would tell you practice what
you're going to say, because we're going to try to
get it in in less than two minutes. Yeah, because
we're getting charged by minute, So you got two minutes
to tell your aunt.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
About ten seconds. That's two minutes, yeah, yeah, So that's
why we're gonna do it in under two minutes. So
at a minute thirty, mom's wrapping you up because you
got to get off the phone. So you got to
tell her about how you did in Little league, got
to tell her about how you did on the math test.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Got to tell them about swimming lessons. You got ninety seconds,
and then we're gonna say goodbye, I love you and
go and but but now phone calls are free basically.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
For all intents and purposes.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yes, life is getting so much cheaper. Life is very easy,
and that's I imagine that will be the downfall.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I agree with that guy.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, you got to You gotta challenge yourself, and it's
tough to challenge yourself if you don't.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I need to go back and watch that movie again.
I haven't seen it in twenty years.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Well you love that you love to say that.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Well, I can't even remember why it said that way
I got it. I definitely have to go back and
watch this movie. I know it's a leftist propaganda film
with the environmental issues of the day. Then I got
to go back and watch it now see how much
how what their foresight was and what the environment would
be like in twenty years because we're supposed to be
under water according to.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Some this movie that I was watching yesterday or the
video the guy says the matrix accurately predicted the future
in nineteen ninety nine. When that came out and talking
about how the Matrix was designed to be a utopia
for human beings, but human beings couldn't handle utopia.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Oh that's a good point. So I need to go
back and watch the Matrix again. I haven't seen that
in a long time.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
We have a Morning Russia regular, Jonathan, who she's getting
a little blowback from the FAM And I get it.
If you're getting a gift of any kind, you even
if you don't want the gift, it's response. The responsible
response is to be excited acted, fake it, fake it
(20:08):
till you make it.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yes, you have to be appreciative and excited, exuberant.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
So this comes in from Tom. Tom's a pretty generic name.
Hopefully his wife's not listening. He says, I never believed
my wife before, but we had a gender reveal party
for our next child and found out that it's going
to be another girl. And I could actually see the
disappointment on her face, like I guess, you know, we've
(20:43):
had two other daughters, and I guess she was hoping
for a son. And I'll be honest, I was disappointed
as well. I would like to have a son. But
now we're both kind of angry with each other for showing,
for showing on our faces that we were not happy.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
You cannot surprise the parents with this. You're surprising everybody
else because this is the problem. You always want a
boy or a girl. That's what the whole theme is.
You show up wearing something peak or something blue, even
if you're not even you know the mom or the dad.
You're part of the party. It's gonna be one of
the two. But you can't show you're disappointed. And I'm
(21:24):
talked to the guy last week had four daughters. He said,
I finally gave up. I couldn't afford another shot. I
can't play this game any paying for four weddings, I
can't afford a fifth. Oh my god, I'll do without
the boy. I'll rent one.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Wow. And you know, obviously a lot of people feel
like it's important, especially the dads. They feel it's important
to have a guy to hopefully carry on the family name.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Oh, that's always a big point, especially in the South. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Like my wife, she has kept her maiden name and
is now using it as her middle name. So she's
combined her middle initials M and L. The L stands
for the Board, which is her father's name. Right, he's
Robert Leboard. She was Angela Michelle Laboard. So now her
(22:15):
full name if she signs it is Angela m. L.
Nash because she's trying to He has no sons, he
has four daughters.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
It's going to end right here.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
This is the end of the board line right here.
It dies when he dies.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
You can't show the disappointment in the video because your
kid's going to see the video when they grow up
and they go, they go, why his dad looks? Why
is dad crying?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Oh crying?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Oh, he's happy.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
He's so happy.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
That's why he's crying.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
That's why he's kicking the wall. He's so happy.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
He's so happy. He can't believe it. Is making sure
he's awake.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
But I mean, you couldn't fake it there in public.
I mean in private, I get it, But in public,
in front of the friends and family, you gotta say, oh, yeah, ah,
this is great. Just praying for just praying for five
fingers and or was it ten fingers? Ten toes? That's
all I care about.
