My father and I watch the movie Good Morning Vietnam
over the weekend, which it's if you haven't seen it,
about a radio DJ in the Vietnam War, and it
just reminded me of how fortunate and lucky I am
to do this job, because it is so much fun
to come to work, hang out with cat country, play
a ton of country music that we love, and then
(00:31):

You're listening to Graham in the Mornings, Rushmore Movies ninety
six point nine the cat.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I tell you what, we had a great response yesterday
and a lot of Cacoachry has really good Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Yeah. So that brings me to my question for you.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Because we did get so many submissions for Mount Rushmore movies,
did any of them make you rethink like, oh, I
might substitute one out for another because one did for me.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I tell you what, Shawshank Redemption was a great choice.
We also heard Tombstone, so Tombstone for me might replace Fury. Okay,
I can see that.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, shout out.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
To Ryan out of Charlotte Tombstone. That's a good pull.
Made me rethink my choices. I know.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
We just had so many good responses yesterday. Let me
play you a couple of them, because some of the
life are root.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Hi.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
This is Susan from Spartanberg and the top two of
my Mount Rushmore movie is just so hard. I would
have to say, though, any end zones in the last
Persade with Harrison Ford and Sean Connery so amazing, and
probably something recent the Martian.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Rush Moor's got to be Tombstone, Jango Unchained, Flash Gordon
and the never Ending Story. Steven from Fort Mille.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
It's Heather and Austin, and my four is camp Brady
Love and then a pretty Woman, Ten Things I Hate
about You and the notebook have a good day time
for Did you know? With Graham in the Mornings on
ninety six point nine, the cat.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Em and Elms are actually named after two people. So
the famous candy gets his name from Forest Mars and
Bruce Murray, the businessman who teamed up to create it.
The idea came during World War two wild so Mars
saw soldiers eating chocolate wrapped in hard candy shells so
it would have melt in their hands. So he took
that idea, brought it back to America, partnered with Murray,
(02:47):
and their initials became the name for Eminem's, Mars and Murray.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So did you know When you're enjoying em and M's,
you're enjoying history. And that's did you know? On ninety
six when I'm the cat who would have thought once?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
The Caroline is talking about today seech you are top
three on Gram in the Mornings.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
On ninety six point nine, The.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Cat Charlotte is expanding its e biking car share programs,
giving residents new ways to get around town.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
And I know what you're thinking.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I am so tired of seeing scooters and bikes laying
on the sidewalk. I totally get that, and we gotta
fix that. But the idea here is simple. The more
people that can safely bike and you share transportation for
short trips, that just means fewer cars clogging up the roads.
And this expansion is gonna start inside the city, and
experts are saying that even though it starts inside town,
(03:35):
it is going to directly affect the number of cars
that are on the highways. So I'm all for it
if we can reduce traffic and cut down on recks.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Sign me up.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Football officially back this week. The first week of NFL
preseason action kicks off Thursday night. Are Panthers. We get
a few extra days. You're gonna get a look at
the team on Saturday when we travel to Buffalo. Keep
pounding and South Carolina families, congratulations. They just wrapped up
that tap free weekend and it's a big economic boost
for the state. Last year alone, it's being reported that
(04:05):
twenty five million dollars worth of tax free items were
sold and it saved more than one point five million
in sales tax for local residents.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
But it did support local.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Retailers during the busy back to school season, and that's
money staying in family budgets and flowing through local communities
as students head back to class. All very positive things.
That's your top three on ninety six point non the
cat We got those Billy Currington and Kip Moore tickets
to give away, but you gotta keep it locked.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Seven thirty cap fire right here on Graham in the mornings. Hey,
it's time for cat fights with Graham in the mornings.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Welcome to the show, Garner, producer.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Hunter is already August eleventh. It is already August eleventh.
This is crazy nuts now. Eleven is one of my
favorite numbers out there. I do believe it's good li

Speaker 1 (05:01):
I like that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Okay, So we've got kit More and Billy Currington tickets
on the line. You need two out of three Ashley
and Angela. Today's questions all revolve around the number eleven.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Are you ready? You're feeling good, Yes, all right, here
we go.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
This hit Netflix show's main character has psychic powers and
was simply known as eleven.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
What show Ashley? Stranger Things, Strangers?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I love Stranger thanks so much. I've only seen season one.
It was incredible though, it's so good. I grew up
alongside that Show's crazy. All right, Ashley's on the board.
Actually only need one more, Angela, two.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
And you win.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Apollo eleven became famous for being the first mission to
wear Ala Ashley for the.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Clean sweet.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
That is incorrect, and we are going to allow Angela
to steal if she would like.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
All right, three two Pluto is correct. I love that scene.
This is informative. This will to the moon. Apollo eleven
went to the moon. The moon, all right.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
This casino heist movie featured George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Damon, Angela.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Angela for getting on the board.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I don't know the ocean even ocean's eleven. That's right.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
That's a great guess because eleven is in the title.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yes, all right, one to one, next correct answer wins.
You're gonna love this one. You're gonna need to have
your hand hovering above the buzzer because I think everyone's
gonna get this one, all right, except for producer Hunter.
He maybe this convenience store chain got its name because
it Angela, the comeback is real.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
That was a great comeback, Ashley out of Huntersville. We
love you. Say it, Angela.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
You're going to see Kip Moore and Billy Carrington. We
love cat count We love cat Country. Some good sportsmanship
this morning.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
You gotta love it now speaking a good sportsmanship. No
one said thanks or thank you, and that's okay. Yeah,
but you and I were discussing and it's our sound
off today.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Is there a difference when someone.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Responds to maybe a nice thing that you do, thanks
or thank you?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
What do you think?
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I got some takes on this. I think there's a
clear difference between the two.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I would agree.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Phone lines are open one eight hundred and five seven
zero nine six nine zero sound off. Is there a
difference or do you feel differently when someone responds thanks
or thank you after doing something nice?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It's ninety six minutes NonStop cat Country and nine the
Cat Hear You. It's time does sound off cat Country
with Graham in the mornings.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Is there a difference in the responses of thanks and
thank you.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Oh yeah, I think so. I am on board with
this as well.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yes, it also depends on how you end it as well.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Do you put an exclamation point? Do you put a head?
I like where you're going with this.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Now give me If I were to ask a favor
of you, Yeah, you do said favor and I hit
you with thanks, What is your reaction to that?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
If it's like thanks, explamation point?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
No, no, just thanks, just thanks?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Oh does that in some way come off like there's
a kind of toss away connotation of like, yeah, thanks.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, I could see that one hundred percent. Now the
exclamation point changes it for you.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
I throw an explanation point a lot because I like
people to know, Like I'm like waving like hey, thanks,
with a.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Smile on my face.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
So I did someone in my neighborhood new homeowner. By
the way, let's go a solid.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, we'll just say maybe I did some landscaping for
someone who could not do it, and so hey, you
know what I'm doing it.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I'll go over and I'll take care of it, no problem.
Got a text later, Hey thanks, I took that Like
wait what.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yeah, that is a little interesting right there.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I could take that.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
As a little cold yeah, But if it was thank
you for some reason, I would have be like, Yah,
You're totally welcome, no worries. Like the reaction to thanks
and thank you, which essentially in the English language means
the same thing.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, was two very different reactions for me. I'm so glad.
I felt like I was being a little sistent. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I think it's a very valid point right there.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Why didn't they just put you at the end? Come
on now, sound off?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
One eight hundred and five seven zero nine six nine zero.
Is there a difference between the responses thanks and thank you.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Here's the scenario.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I took care of some yard work for someone who
could not do that over the weekend. A couple hours later,
they weren't home when I did it. I went over there,
took care of it, came home forgot about it, got
a text lea that just said thanks.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Now, we brought in our boss, but more.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Importantly, our good friend Ashley, producer Hunter and I were.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
On the same page.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
We got to pull Ashley in here. Yeah, and we
gotta get a different opinion. But I feel like innately
your initial reaction was the same as ours.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Should have had at least an exclamation point or two. Okay,
got it, and that would.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Have been fine, But just thanks that does not seem
sufficient in this situation.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I feel seen.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Yeah, I feel saying neither me or Graham have given
you a thanks before.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Right, We've been good with all the time, but I
do it purposely anytime that I'm annoyed.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Thanks Saladolf. Is there a difference between thanks and thank you?
Speaker 2 (10:13):

that for come from?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Susan? Come from a part of their coat, their fur coat?

Speaker 2 (12:43):
And if it's a riddle and we're trying to have
fun with it, what would a cat burglar steel steal
a fur coat?

Speaker 3 (12:49):
That's a bad one.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Yeah, Susan out of.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Spartanburg What would a cat burglar.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Steel a cat burner? Would We're going to accept it.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
You know, if a cat burglar has been in your house,
if your cat is missing, oh.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Because it steals the cat. Sometimes you just overthink the
but it's so simple.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Now. I'm glad that you don't have that sounder of
want wan yeah, because I can feel that. But you know,
if a cat burger's been there, if your cat's going, Yeah,
that's so true. I love that. Susan, You're a winner today.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
That's so great.
Speaker 1 (13:21):

Speaker 2 (13:23):
It's ninety six minutes non stop. Cat Country.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Sign for some good news with Graham in the morning
one nine the cat. We want to hear your good news.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
You can always open up the iHeartRadio app, tap that
red microphone icon in the upper right hand corner and
share your good news. So we can share that good
news with Cat Country. We will throw you on the show.
But today, not only is Panthers in NFL football back,
but high school football is back. Friday night lights starts
popping back off in the Carolinas. High school teams across
(13:56):
North and South Carolina are wrapping up practices, getting ready
for scrimmages, and counting down to kickoff. So let's be
honest now, for a lot of folks, high school football
is where football season really begins. It's not just about
the games either. This is why it affects our communities.
Local restaurants get a boost, you get booster clubs, their
school bands, entire communities come together when those stadium lights
(14:17):
turn off.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Then furthermore, getting closer to the hoodie season. You know
what I mean, fall is here.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
That's your good news on ninety six point non the
cat is ninety six minutes non Stopcat Country. Is there
a difference between responding thanks and thank you? We got
Sally out of l Town on the line sound off.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I think that there is a difference. Yes, thanks is
just kind of like want and thank you.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
It's kind of like sincere.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
That's exactly what I was talking about. There is a
way to elegantly tell someone thank you without it sounding
really cold.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah, you made a great point, I think, Sally, I
would love to have your opinion on it. Even thanks
with some sort of exclamation point changes the context of it.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
What do you do you think, Sally? I think thanks
with an explanation point can be kind of sarcastic.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
All right, that's a good take. What about X or
something like, you know, kind of like a loving thing.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Yeah, a little bit sleater.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Okay, I'm still going with thank you. I'm with I'm
with Sally, and I'm with producer Hunter. I'm on the
thank you train, not the thanks train.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
I think that's just cover all your bases. Say thank you.
They automatically know how you feel.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Thank you, Sally, thank you, have a great day. Phone
lines are still open.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Is there a difference in responding thanks or thank you?
One eight hundred and five seven zero nine six nine
zero or you can always leave us a talk back.
Speaker 1 (15:38):

Speaker 1 (16:44):
You mean someday by it.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
Thanks, it's just you mean nothing.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Off the top of you mean nothing. I love that.

and a lot of Cacoachry has really good Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Yeah. So that brings me to my question for you.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Because we did get so many submissions for Mount Rushmore movies,
did any of them make you rethink like, oh, I
might substitute one out for another because one did for me.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I tell you what, Shawshank Redemption was a great choice.
We also heard Tombstone, so Tombstone for me might replace Fury. Okay,
I can see that.
Speaker 1 (01:29):

To Ryan out of Charlotte Tombstone. That's a good pull.
Made me rethink my choices. I know.

play you a couple of them, because some of the
life are root.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Hi.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
This is Susan from Spartanberg and the top two of
my Mount Rushmore movie is just so hard. I would
have to say, though, any end zones in the last
Persade with Harrison Ford and Sean Connery so amazing, and
probably something recent the Martian.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Rush Moor's got to be Tombstone, Jango Unchained, Flash Gordon

about You and the notebook have a good day time
for Did you know? With Graham in the Mornings on
ninety six point nine, the cat.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Em and Elms are actually named after two people. So
the famous candy gets his name from Forest Mars and
Bruce Murray, the businessman who teamed up to create it.
The idea came during World War two wild so Mars
saw soldiers eating chocolate wrapped in hard candy shells so
it would have melt in their hands. So he took
that idea, brought it back to America, partnered with Murray,
(02:47):
and their initials became the name for Eminem's, Mars and Murray.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So did you know When you're enjoying em and M's,
you're enjoying history. And that's did you know? On ninety

Cat Charlotte is expanding its e biking car share programs,
giving residents new ways to get around town.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
And I know what you're thinking.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I am so tired of seeing scooters and bikes laying
on the sidewalk. I totally get that, and we gotta
fix that. But the idea here is simple. The more
people that can safely bike and you share transportation for
short trips, that just means fewer cars clogging up the roads.
And this expansion is gonna start inside the city, and
experts are saying that even though it starts inside town,
(03:35):
it is going to directly affect the number of cars
that are on the highways. So I'm all for it
if we can reduce traffic and cut down on recks.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Sign me up.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Football officially back this week. The first week of NFL

twenty five million dollars worth of tax free items were
sold and it saved more than one point five million
in sales tax for local residents.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
But it did support local.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Retailers during the busy back to school season, and that's
money staying in family budgets and flowing through local communities
as students head back to class. All very positive things.
That's your top three on ninety six point non the
cat We got those Billy Currington and Kip Moore tickets

Actually only need one more, Angela, two.
Speaker 1 (05:38):

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Clean sweet.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
That is incorrect, and we are going to allow Angela

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Angela for getting on the board.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I don't know the ocean even ocean's eleven. That's right.
Speaker 2 (06:20):

That's right.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yes, all right, one to one, next correct answer wins.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
You're going to see Kip Moore and Billy Carrington. We
love cat count We love cat Country. Some good sportsmanship
this morning.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
You gotta love it now speaking a good sportsmanship. No
one said thanks or thank you, and that's okay. Yeah,
but you and I were discussing and it's our sound
off today.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Is there a difference when someone.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Responds to maybe a nice thing that you do, thanks
or thank you?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
What do you think?
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I got some takes on this. I think there's a
clear difference between the two.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I would agree.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Phone lines are open one eight hundred and five seven
zero nine six nine zero sound off. Is there a
difference or do you feel differently when someone responds thanks
or thank you after doing something nice?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It's ninety six minutes NonStop cat Country and nine the
Cat Hear You. It's time does sound off cat Country
with Graham in the mornings.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Is there a difference in the responses of thanks and
thank you.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Oh yeah, I think so. I am on board with
this as well.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yes, it also depends on how you end it as well.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Do you put an exclamation point? Do you put a head?
I like where you're going with this.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Now give me If I were to ask a favor
of you, Yeah, you do said favor and I hit
you with thanks, What is your reaction to that?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
If it's like thanks, explamation point?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
No, no, just thanks, just thanks?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Oh does that in some way come off like there's
a kind of toss away connotation of like, yeah, thanks.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, I could see that one hundred percent. Now the
exclamation point changes it for you.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
I throw an explanation point a lot because I like
people to know, Like I'm like waving like hey, thanks,
with a.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Smile on my face.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
So I did someone in my neighborhood new homeowner. By
the way, let's go a solid.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, we'll just say maybe I did some landscaping for
someone who could not do it, and so hey, you
know what I'm doing it.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I'll go over and I'll take care of it, no problem.
Got a text later, Hey thanks, I took that Like
wait what.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yeah, that is a little interesting right there.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I could take that.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
As a little cold yeah, But if it was thank
you for some reason, I would have be like, Yah,
You're totally welcome, no worries. Like the reaction to thanks
and thank you, which essentially in the English language means
the same thing.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, was two very different reactions for me. I'm so glad.
I felt like I was being a little sistent. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I think it's a very valid point right there.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Why didn't they just put you at the end? Come
on now, sound off?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
One eight hundred and five seven zero nine six nine zero.
Is there a difference between the responses thanks and thank you.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Here's the scenario.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I took care of some yard work for someone who
could not do that over the weekend. A couple hours later,
they weren't home when I did it. I went over there,
took care of it, came home forgot about it, got
a text lea that just said thanks.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Now, we brought in our boss, but more.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Importantly, our good friend Ashley, producer Hunter and I were.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
On the same page.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
We got to pull Ashley in here. Yeah, and we
gotta get a different opinion. But I feel like innately
your initial reaction was the same as ours.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Should have had at least an exclamation point or two. Okay,
got it, and that would.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Have been fine, But just thanks that does not seem
sufficient in this situation.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I feel seen.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Yeah, I feel saying neither me or Graham have given
you a thanks before.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Right, We've been good with all the time, but I
do it purposely anytime that I'm annoyed.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Thanks Saladolf. Is there a difference between thanks and thank you?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
One hundred and five seven zero nine six nine zero

news with Cat Country. We will throw you on the show.
But today, not only is Panthers in NFL football back,
but high school football is back. Friday night lights starts
popping back off in the Carolinas. High school teams across
(13:56):
North and South Carolina are wrapping up practices, getting ready
for scrimmages, and counting down to kickoff. So let's be
honest now, for a lot of folks, high school football
is where football season really begins. It's not just about
the games either. This is why it affects our communities.
Local restaurants get a boost, you get booster clubs, their
school bands, entire communities come together when those stadium lights
(14:17):
turn off.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Then furthermore, getting closer to the hoodie season. You know
what I mean, fall is here.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
That's your good news on ninety six point non the
cat is ninety six minutes non Stopcat Country. Is there
a difference between responding thanks and thank you? We got
Sally out of l Town on the line sound off.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I think that there is a difference. Yes, thanks is
just kind of like want and thank you.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
It's kind of like sincere.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
That's exactly what I was talking about. There is a
way to elegantly tell someone thank you without it sounding
really cold.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah, you made a great point, I think, Sally, I
would love to have your opinion on it. Even thanks
with some sort of exclamation point changes the context of it.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
What do you do you think, Sally? I think thanks
with an explanation point can be kind of sarcastic.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
All right, that's a good take. What about X or
something like, you know, kind of like a loving thing.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Yeah, a little bit sleater.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Okay, I'm still going with thank you. I'm with I'm
with Sally, and I'm with producer Hunter. I'm on the
thank you train, not the thanks train.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah.

They automatically know how you feel.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Thank you, Sally, thank you, have a great day. Phone
lines are still open.
