SPEAKER_03 3:10

Uh poker playing, as far as you know. Oh, oh, oh, oh. What what what do you what is the double entendre? Probably S E X. Well, I don't get it.

SPEAKER_00 3:25

Yeah. It doesn't matter. You don't have to get it. It wasn't written for you. She's got the Jack.

SPEAKER_01 3:33

She's got the Jack.

SPEAKER_03 3:36

She gave me the queen. Yeah. She gave me the king. She was wheeling and dealing, just doing her thing. Oh. You know, that reminds me of I think there was a uh there was some little bluesy solo here.

SPEAKER_00 3:55

Such a great hold on. That's great. People bag on uh Angus Young. Really a great guitar player. That was a good one.

SPEAKER_03 4:27

Wait till you see me rip my guitar. I can't wait. Is that a guitar you can rip on? Face with her nature. Sure! Absolutely. It looks too like pretty.

SPEAKER_00 4:39

No, you wouldn't believe you wouldn't believe guitars like that? Yeah. Some players that can just jam on us. Really? Jazz players, blues players.

SPEAKER_03 4:48

I wonder if I got it in me.

SPEAKER_05 4:49

I don't know if you close her eyes.

SPEAKER_03 4:52

I'm gonna try them. One day when I have nothing else to do. When is that gonna happen? I don't know. Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 5:00

So here's the deal.

SPEAKER_03 5:00

I'm so stressed out.

SPEAKER_00 5:01

I know you are. I can tell. I can tell. I'm waiting for you to start humming Amazing Grace. It's coming any moment.

SPEAKER_03 5:08

And poor Javi, he's so um cool as a cucumber, but um until he's met me, he's like, can we just relax? We're probably like you gotta see what my house looks like. I can imagine. There's boxes every empty boxes. I haven't even filled them yet. And we had uh Keith from Two Men in a Truck come over yesterday, and I think he started to cry. Then I was like, Don't you cry too? No, he didn't cry. He's like, I got you, no problem. How about we do this over the course of five days? See? No, it's gonna be over the course of two days. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:46

Well, because two men and the truck. Yes two days. Two days.

SPEAKER_03 5:50

No, the reason why we're doing it that way is because the our problem is the garage, we're gonna have garage kings do the garage before we move in because we have no storage in the house and nowhere to put anything. So everything will just be piled up on the floor and what then I have to take it all out again and then have Garage Kings come. So I said, how about we just move the contents of the home? Well, actually they suggest it because I said to them, Garage Kings is not gonna come until the middle of September. Um I you know, I'm pushing it till the middle of September because I don't want to order everything until I know I have a closing date.

SPEAKER_00 6:32

When do you think that's going to be?

SPEAKER_03 6:34

So the closing date is most likely I didn't get the d definitive of August 26th. Okay. Um and don't they have something? No, the 28th. So we're moving on the 29th. Okay. But the thing is, the the thing is, is that um, you know, I have to You know the thing, man. I have to sign off on Garage Kings, and I said, listen, I don't want to sign off and have you order everything, and then the date is not there. You know, it's not happening. So I said, I just I just need to I don't want to jump the gun. So it and but that pushes everything off a little bit because I'm ordering all that um whatchamacallit? Um you know, the storage. Right, right. Yeah. So you know that you have to order that. And they and then it has to come in, and then you know, you schedule a date and all that stuff. So I don't want to put everything in the garage and then have to move it all out. You know what I mean? And I and if if I'm my house will be up for sale at that point, and you know, it's not gonna be a big deal if there's stuff in the garage. The rest of the house will be empty. Anyway, so I'm stressed out. I know.

SPEAKER_00 7:42

I can tell. I'm just gonna do my best to stay out of your way.

SPEAKER_03 7:46

Highly stressed. Oh, stay out of my way. That's not gonna help me.

SPEAKER_00 7:49

That is. Well, I mean, I'll do my thing here and keep it, you know, try to keep as less pressure off of you as possible.

SPEAKER_03 7:56

Hey, hey. Because you don't you don't need the extra stress. No, but you know what I need? I need time.

SPEAKER_00 8:01

I thought you were gonna say breakfast. Because I was gonna say I agree.

SPEAKER_03 8:04

My son gave me a Panera gift card for uh my birthday. Oh, well don't use it on me. We should cash in and get some bread.

SPEAKER_00 8:11

You and your no, you and your hubby should have that.

SPEAKER_03 8:14

Uh it's kind of out of the way. Panera bread's like far away.

SPEAKER_00 8:18

How far away is it?

SPEAKER_03 8:19

SPEAKER_00 8:24

SPEAKER_03 8:25

So crowded nobody goes there anymore. Right. How is that um Trader Joe's doing anyway?

SPEAKER_00 8:31

I have no idea. I've never gone in. I you know, I was going to, and then it was like, I'm not going in there. It's like all a million people. I'm not going in there. Every time? Well, the one time I don't go there. The one time it was a moment. One time. Listen, I don't do anything. You know what I do? I go home and I get, you know, I'm dad. And then I come here and I'm like this radio idiot. And then I'm back home doing dad idiot stuff. You know, that's all I do. I don't do anything else. I went to Virginia. I was like, what am I doing with myself? I'm out of state. I'm five miles outside of my radius.

SPEAKER_03 9:02

SPEAKER_01 9:18

Oh, wow.

SPEAKER_03 9:19

Um, and you know, you know that OLI program we have. The uh did you ever hear of the OLI program? It's kind of a great thing. I I try to tell everybody about it. I wish I could take advantage of it. But um the or the Ollie program, if if you haven't heard of it, it's O L L I. Um, it's um, I don't know what it stands for. OSHER LIFE LONG Learning Institute. OLI. OLLI. And uh they have one like everywhere. Um, like every county has their own thing going on, and CCU has something to do with it, something like that. They have lots of programs and activities, clubs and interest groups. They even go on trips, which is awesome. They have lectures and special events, courses. Um I can click on browse courses here. Uh registration begins uh um let me see a membership. Oh, if you're a member, it begins August 19th. And if you are just a regular person just try checking it out, it'll be August 25th.

Um, and so you can click on whichever button and uh see, you know, if you only want to attend classes in a certain place, you can do that as well. You know what I mean? So you don't have to worry about it. And by the way, I I think there's that program where like what is it, over 65, you get to go to college free or something?

SPEAKER_00 11:26

What?

SPEAKER_03 11:27

You never knew about that?

SPEAKER_00 11:28

Yeah, it's four twenty-six sixty-six. That could have been someone's birthday. I'm assuming. 6769. And then the Powerball is nine. Did that person buy the Powerball? I wonder. Oh, someone in Massachusetts won two mil.

SPEAKER_01 19:26

SPEAKER_00 20:00

Hold on. Now before we go, I I I brought it up, so now I gotta I gotta talk about it. Hold on. So now that we're late, it's your follow up. Two million dollar mega millions ticket sold in Florence. Dang. Two million. So somebody did win some big stuff kind of in our area, not listening area, but certainly in our uh this was posted 18 hours ago.

SPEAKER_03 20:22

Which which um mega millions. Mega million. Okay, this is powerboard.

SPEAKER_00 20:27

Right, right, right. I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_03 20:28

No, no, I I I was I didn't see it listed here.

SPEAKER_00 20:30

Someone who purchased the Mega Millions ticket in Florence for Tuesday's drawing is now a two million dollars richer. It was sold at the Yana Food Mart on Palmetto Street. Lottery officials said the ticket holder matched all five white ball numbers with a two times multiplier to win the two million.

SPEAKER_03 20:45

Why did they have to specify white? What does that mean? White ball.

SPEAKER_00 20:51

I'm reading the story.

SPEAKER_03 20:52

Why do they have to say white ball?

SPEAKER_00 20:54

Because if you're blackballed, you don't win nothing. You don't get jack. That's it! You got a black ball? Forget it!

SPEAKER_05 21:03

The Liz Callaway Show with Nick Summers.

SPEAKER_00 21:05

Stand by.

SPEAKER_02 21:07

Why do they have to make it so like racist?

SPEAKER_00 21:10

It's not only you make it racist. Nobody was thinking that till you brought it up. What are you, a liberal?

SPEAKER_02 21:16

I'm just saying! Why do they have to say the white ball? Why do they have to say that?

SPEAKER_00 21:21

Because they are. That is a factual statement. The particular balls involved in this lottery game. They're gonna be in lottery colors. No, they don't.

SPEAKER_03 21:29

If they do them yellow, where?

SPEAKER_00 21:31

Sometimes they have blue, but I don't know if that's associated with lottery.

SPEAKER_03 21:38

Is it kind of Pennsylvania name that?

SPEAKER_00 21:40

There it is? Yeah. I am going to Blue Ball, Pennsylvania. What are you getting there? White balls.

SPEAKER_04 21:46

Oh weird.

SPEAKER_00 21:47

No? Hey, Seaside Furniture Gallery and Access. Oh, they are. Ken's is like you.

It's on Highway 17 in North Myrtle Beach. You can just go to shopseasidefurniture.com.

SPEAKER_00 22:39

I'm being informed that the extra ball in the mega millions is red, so that's why they the distinction of matching all five white balls is there. I didn't want to tell you because as I was telling people on the budget blinds text line, it's more fun to let you think the racists that they're in charge of the lottery.

SPEAKER_03 23:00

Well, it was just the way you said it, I think. I read it.

SPEAKER_00 23:05

Get off me.

SPEAKER_03 23:07

Well, um, the other thing I want to tell you that there's Amish people in Blue Ball, Pennsylvania. Yeah, the Amish.

SPEAKER_00 23:19

The Amish in Acron.

SPEAKER_03 23:22

They are there, that's for sure. Um, so in case you ever go to Lancaster, um, do you ever take your kids to Amish country?

SPEAKER_00 23:31

Uh no, because my kids were born here. Amish country. No, my kids were born here. Uh-huh. So the last time I saw I don't know any of Amish people around here.

SPEAKER_01 23:43

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 23:44

But we have plenty all over in Wisconsin, so you can see them, and they set up their little roadside little sales and stuff like that. So but no, I have not. Uh.

unknown 23:54

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 23:55

No.

SPEAKER_03 23:55

Well, I wonder if you want to, you know, take them there, if they would enjoy that to see how the Amish live. You can actually stay at the Blue Ball Hotel. Nice. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 24:06

Wow.

SPEAKER_03 24:07

I heard there's a lot of happenings there.

SPEAKER_00 24:10

I I heard. By the way, Conway Jack uh has decided he's going to change his name.

SPEAKER_03 24:15

Really? Why?

SPEAKER_00 24:17

Because I don't I don't think he likes the connotations coming from you.

SPEAKER_03 24:23

I don't have any connotations. Uh-huh. I'm just being told what that song means.

SPEAKER_00 24:28

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 24:29

I looked it up. I think you're right.

SPEAKER_01 24:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 24:33

Um, I'm trying to order for you. What are you ordering? I don't want. No, don't order from Panera. They're too far away. I just did. Oh no. Oh, it says wrong.

SPEAKER_00 24:44

There's towns called. Thanks for your delivery order. There's a town called Climax in uh Minnesota. I know there's a town called Hell, too. Wow. So like when you say hell froze over, it actually does pretty much almost every year.

SPEAKER_03 24:58

Okay, it went through. I use the card. You're not um, and uh, you'll get breakfast in like, I don't know, two hours because so far away. It is so much. They're gonna have to pack a lunch to deliver your breakfast.

SPEAKER_00 25:10

I think I think our delivery driver, Doordasher, probably on a bike. Remember that one we had?

SPEAKER_03 25:14

Yeah, I never got my money back.

SPEAKER_00 25:16

No, I I it was like $40.

SPEAKER_03 25:18

Never got my money back. Not surprised. They said they delivered it.

SPEAKER_00 25:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 25:22

And they insisted they delivered it. I said, but did you see the picture?

SPEAKER_00 25:28

And it was open. So what did just something wrong with any of it? Yeah. It's so annoying. There's Amish in intercourse, too. I did not know that.

SPEAKER_03 25:37

Yes, that's true. Did not know that. Intercourse, Pennsylvania.

SPEAKER_00 25:41

There you go. Art Ruffelicious is from the region, so.

SPEAKER_03 25:44

Yeah, I used to go to do you ever take your daughter to Hershey Park?

SPEAKER_00 25:48

No, that's something that's on the list, though.

SPEAKER_03 25:50

Oh man.

SPEAKER_00 25:50

Pastor Danny took the grandkids there.

SPEAKER_03 25:52

Oh, it's so awesome.

SPEAKER_00 25:54

I know, we gotta go.

SPEAKER_03 25:54

Do they have rides and stuff? Oh my god, yeah. That's where I got stuck on the ride. Um, what was that called? Fahrenheit. I got stuck on Fahrenheit. And uh remarkably, I remained calm. And I think it was because some other lady was freaking out in the heat, locked in. And uh, thank God we weren't upside down. But she was freaking out, and I was just like, Shut up! You're freaking me out! Like she just kept freaking out. Um, but yeah, because you know, these rides are supposed to be over in 90 seconds, so you can put up with being strapped in um like that. It was one of those rides where your feet dangle and the big Yeah. Yeah. And um did you see those two girls that were stuck upside down? I did for like seven minutes. I did. Oh my god. They were rescued. Yeah, I know they were rescued, but they were upside down for seven minutes. That's fine. Um I mean that's scary. She was like, I just felt like I was gonna slide out. You know, could you imagine all your body weight pushing you through, like, you know. Oh my god. I I get like uh anxiety thinking about it. Did you go to any Space Mountain used to get stuck all the time in Disney? I think that's why they took it down.

SPEAKER_00 27:13

See, we didn't have any big amusement parks near us, so we relied heavily on the traveling carnivalslash circus that would come to town. Oh god, no, I don't like it. So do you do you remember a ride called The Zipper?

SPEAKER_03 27:24

No. Oh I think that guy got arrested.

SPEAKER_00 27:29

It was great. I don't know anything about that. It's a joke.

unknown 27:33

Oh.

SPEAKER_03 27:34

He had a ride called The Zipper.

SPEAKER_00 27:38

Yeah, no, not funny.

SPEAKER_03 27:40

The zipper, I don't know. Does it go up and down?

SPEAKER_00 27:42

It well, it it goes around like this, and then it has these little like things that you're locked into that spin. So as it's going around, those things spin, and it kind of looks like a zipper. That's what the creators of this ride, who by the way it was invented in 1968. I've seen that ride. I would never go on that. They had some deaths associated with it because here's the one thing they say is never trust a ride that's like in a carnival? That's yes. No, that you can pack up in a truck in 19 minutes.

SPEAKER_03 28:12

Exactly. Yeah, but it's like that's all we had growing up.

SPEAKER_00 28:16

You know, our city fairs, county fairs, whatever.

SPEAKER_03 28:18

That's all we did. And you know who who's in those, working in those carnivals, right?

SPEAKER_00 28:23

Well, back in the day, back hold on, back in the day, yes, you had criminal underbelly, if you will, but a lot of these people were former military, former engineers that lost their jobs due to drinking and things like that. So they would, or run it on the run. No, they did a study, or on the run from child support.

SPEAKER_01 28:43

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00 28:43

So they would get these cash jobs that would take them all over the place. Now, fast forward to nowadays, yeah, it's nothing but meth addicts and foreigners, and you know, it's it's horrible. I've seen them. Really? I wouldn't go on a zipper nowadays. Back when I was a kid, uh huh. Even though they've made improvements, they made it much safer. They slowed it down, they have a locking mechanism. I did this whole deep dive on the zipper. I saw a post on it, and I was like, I gotta learn about this again. Why is it so dangerous? Because we never we never gave it up. I the part of the appeal was wow, this was traveling down the highway at 60 miles an hour just yesterday, and now I'm in it.

SPEAKER_03 29:17

I know.

SPEAKER_00 29:18

So I was kind of I yeah. Well, you're 13 years old.

SPEAKER_03 29:21

That's like no, I know it's cool, but but thinking people don't, you know.

SPEAKER_00 29:27

Well, that's what I'm saying. Now I wouldn't go on those things.

SPEAKER_02 29:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:31

But because the I don't trust anybody setting them up and the people that are setting them up. Yeah. I mean, you know, whatever. Exactly.

SPEAKER_03 29:41

All right. All right. Well, that's interesting. I I don't yeah. We have um we have rides here, but we don't have any major, we used to have a major amusement park. I wonder why that never took off. People said it was too expensive. Family Kingdom? No, the one that used to be here.

SPEAKER_00 29:57

Oh, the Hard Rock one.

SPEAKER_03 29:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:59

Yeah. Uh too expensive from what I heard. They never acknowledged this. Is what I heard because I came to visit before we moved here, and I was like, oh, that looks so much fun. But we were so busy because it was like the third time we were here and we were looking for jobs. My wife, of course, got a job immediately, and I got, you know, hey, yeah, let me know when you come back. And uh anyway. And then then when we finally moved here, guess what? Closed down. But we stared at that thing because it was left up for quite a while. And then it got sold to, I believe, a South Korean company. Taiwan, yeah. Okay, there you go. I knew it was in Taiwan the Led Zeppelin Yeah, but it's been rebranded and you know, different colors and schemes. But yeah, and and I always wanted to go there. Interesting little side note, Joey from Sound Systems Incorporated, he set up the entire PA and all the loudspeakers and all that. I know. And he's like, I wonder where all that went.

SPEAKER_03 30:52

Well, they sold it all, and I'll tell you, it's really kind of funny. Um, I think the when long ago, I guess it was uh 2016, 2017, whenever the first market common ball drop, going back to balls, um for New Year's Eve, the Southern Times Square, remember that? Uh that ball came from that park. And they told me um the woman that worked there that I was kind of helping kind of plan a little bit and MC it. Uh, she got that ball, and she's like, what about what if we hang this from a crane and do a ball drop with this? And it's a big giant disco ball that she got from Hard Rock Park. I was like, that's cool. Let's do it. And that's how, and then the next thing you know, they get we had a crane there and holding the ball over by the movie theater. I don't even know what they do now for New Year's Eve.

SPEAKER_00 31:53

I think they still do something like that.

SPEAKER_03 31:55

I think I haven't been in years.

SPEAKER_00 31:57

Southern Times Square, they still call it that. I know they advertise it. I'm just sad we never got to go because by the time we moved here, it was closed down. And we heard from the locals, I say that because we were newbies. Yeah. They said, oh, they never acknowledged the locals. They didn't give us locals discounts. It was too much money for too little, it wasn't worth it.

SPEAKER_03 32:14

And it's yeah, because they didn't, I I think what it was was they didn't finish it yet. So they had that could be part of it. It like it wasn't um, you know, it wasn't uh created, um, like it wasn't done being built built up so people were paying for it and it didn't have all the rides in it yet.

SPEAKER_01 32:32

That makes sense.

SPEAKER_03 32:33

So, but they were trying to I I get what they were trying to do, which is open and start generating revenue so that they could keep building, but what they should have done is probably made an introductory rate because not everything was installed yet.

SPEAKER_00 32:47

And generally they will. It's like, hey, this is a work in progress, but we want you in on it. You know, they market it that way, and we're giving you a half-off type thing, and it just gets flooded with people because they want to check it out, they want to see what's being built, they want to experience what's done. I know they had a great soundstage because all the equipment, sound systems, put it all in there, great gear, and they were planning on having great concerts, rocking otherwise. And I know they had a few from what I was told, but then it just never Yeah, too much money, you're right.

SPEAKER_03 33:16

And I also think we just don't have enough people.

SPEAKER_00 33:19

Well, we do now, I think. This was back then when we got here, they were still rolling up the streets.

SPEAKER_03 33:27

You know what? They have for the season. You know what Myrtle Myrtle Beach is is missing out on. This is what I honestly believe. The only thing we're really super great at is the beach, and we need to do more for the beach. We are known for the beach. I went to Canada, I asked the people in Canada, and I said, why do you go to Myrtle Beach? They didn't say golf, they said the beach. So a lot of people come to be at the beach. We need to do that. And as I said, our biggest export is sand in your shoes. That should be it. We should just focus on one thing, one thing that we do great, and you know what? We really kind of don't do the beach great. We don't have like, you know, bathroom facilities, we don't have all the alpha projects done yet. Um, you know, it it's you know, we don't allow tents on the beach, so and there's no other shade, there's no concessions, there's no like we don't have these kind of things. We have a couple of peers, but we don't really uh we'd haven't doubled down on the beach experience. And we used to go to the beach all the time uh on Long Island, because you know, you're on an island, uh, and we would go and see bands all right on the beach. You know, we used to go and dance and go to the beach and hang out, and all the community was there. They had a band shell on the beach, they had country line music dancing nights in the audience. I mean, we would all go to the beach, walk the boardwalk, we had a beautiful board. We're just not using it, and we just leave it there for, you know, just uh you know, we're for Africa to hang out on. So I don't think we're embracing what we're really made for. And I think that's the biggest miss step that we take as as the beach. We have the Ferris wheel, what is it? What's it called? Skywheel. Um we have that. We we we got everything kind of there, but we're just not bringing it over the finish line. And I don't get it.
