Speaker 1 (00:04):
And we're six thirty seven the power hour, the vital
power hour for this week because tomorrow night it's Bucks
Line Night six to eight pm, as we do the
best Buckeye coverage thing every Thursday night from Legacy Retirement Group,
and that's always a lot of fun. The buck guys. Uh,
this Saturday night seven thirty. By the way, seven thirty
not seven o'clock. Seven point thirty is kickoff type. You

(00:26):
guys could all send me text messages and let me
know how they're doing, because I'm not subscribing to another
streaming service to watch them. Just being honest, I'm a
Buck Eye fan, but I look, I've got enough. By
the time you pay for all the streaming crap it's
required to get the stuff you want, you should have
just kept cable. It's really kind of goofy, And this
time around it's on Peacock, which I think is eight

(00:47):
bucks a month. If I'm not mistaken, I got enough
streaming stuff. I'm not getting another. What I might do
is just get on the phone and talk to Corey,
because I know he doesn't have anything to do with
his evenings anymore, so he's always free and just kind
of laying around, but young Corey, uh, as I said,
you haven't changed a bit. I'm very very glad that

(01:07):
after what's it been like three years?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, four four years yep, and four.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Years we were connected at the hip. We even had
the same initials for goodness sake, and and you know,
that's the nature of this business. I went one way,
you went another. And it's it's very odd not to
see the same person every day when you're.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
That after six straight years of putting.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Up with you. Yes, And it was heavenly, wasn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
It was something And you.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Got the lovely Kyla who was on with us a
few times to say I do and become your wife.
And I'm still assuming hypnosis or some sort of narcotic
was involved in that decision. And you are a daddy now, yeah,
of a very nice, good looking, strong looking young man.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, we were worried about it, but he came out
all right, so it was it's good.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Really, were you worried?

Speaker 2 (01:57):
I was a little worried, just just general. Yeah, I've
got a big forehead.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yes, I do know.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
I did not want to pass that on to.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Him out loud. Did I say that out loud?

Speaker 2 (02:08):
So he uh, Fortunately, did not get that. By the way,
I had time to think here during the commercial break.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
When did you start that?

Speaker 2 (02:18):
You know how we fix the drag queen story hours
We send you down.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
And speed I am ready get me a late show,
a speedo.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
And baby, they'll see it how we see it.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
If they have to see you in a speedoh that
might they might stop right away.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
You haven't noticed how much less of me there is
than the last time you saw me either, Yeah, well
substantially less. The the fifty six inches that used to
be around my waist are now forty four inches.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
So what's your secret?

Speaker 1 (02:45):
I don't eat.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
I know you've been part time living in the hospital
the last four years.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
I mean just every now and then I have to
go in for one thing or another, but no, just
to change in life and priorities and and you know,
I'm forced by a rather diligent queen to eat the
right things the right time, the right way, as opposed
to getting everything that I consume through a window. And
it's it's it's changed that I got a little. I'd
like to get to a forty two waist, so another

(03:13):
thirty pounds or so, and I think I'm done.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
You could just do it Seinfeld did, and just cross
it off on your waist and write in whatever the number.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
I would like to do. Yeah, I assume you know
you have not a stature. Wise, you haven't changed at all.
You get a little taller or something, but nothing.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Really, I'm definitely working on. I'm fighting the dad bod
as we speak. It's it's creeping in, uh, but but
I'm trying hard to I still don't believe that. You'll
never convince me that people have been trying to convince
us now for the last what ten years, that the
dad bod is the new thing and six packs are

(03:52):
out the window.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
You know who's trying to convince you of that is
guys with dad bods. They yes, And.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
I'm not buying it. I don't like the way I
look with a dad. I want to go back to
ten years ago. So I'm not buying that one. We all,
But what do I know it's not going to happen now? Well,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
I've got the wonderful ride of being a husband and
father and you're just you're gonna get fat and bold.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
That's well, I can definitely see how it happens. I'm
awake twenty four hours a day, which no sleep right there,
That's that's gonna put on some weight. And then I'm
just eating at all hours of the night. I'm eating
whatever I can find. I'm sometimes I'm just bored sitting
there watching the baby sleep, and I'm just eating junk.

(04:37):
And yeah, it's easy. It's easy that I see how
it happens.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Now, avoid the junk at all costs, Avoid the carbs
at all costs. Although they will give you the energy
that you need to stay up for all of those hours,
they will also pack the weight on.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, from experience, well, and I started attempting to get
onto a workout regiment, which lasted I don't know, maybe
a month, but my goodness, I just uh.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Walk into the gym. Probably wore you out though.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yeah, yeah, it's uh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
So what do you got going on the the you
started right after you and I parted ways. You started
the VSBN, the Varsity Sports Network, and yeah, and that
started off as one one school and one basketball team,
and you've got what four hundred.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Now, yeah, well it's it's definitely grown. We've we cover
a few high schools up in my area, and we've
gotten into now we're covering Buckeyes games and the Browns.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
We've been up to a bunch of Calves games. You know.
We get to go behind the scenes, take pictures down
on the sidelines, and interview the players. It's pretty cool.
It's been a pretty cool experience. And but I love
doing the high school sports stuff, just doing the play
by play. It's fun to be up in the press
box every week, and it's just cool. A lot of

(05:53):
schools don't get that exposure either, where you've got a
dedicated team of people covering each and every event and
and you can just count on us being there. So
it's been kind of nice.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
I never wanted to do broadcast sports. You know that
that's too much a response, I believe it or not,
this sounds silly. I wanted to be the PA guy.
I wanted to do the in the in the stadium
while the game is going on. That for some reason,
that always appealed to me. And that's just that shows
you how seriously how low my standards are. I don't

(06:23):
want to do the big stuff on the air or no,
I want to be the guy with the megaphone speakers
over the top of the night, and that's twenty five yards.
That's I don't know. Why.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
No, Well, when back when we were, you know, hanging
out every day doing the old show, I always thought
it would have been so funny. I don't think I
would have been able to keep my composure if I
saw you doing play by play just at a random
high school football game on a Friday night. I think
that would have been the funniest thing.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Well wait a minute, now, why would it be funny?
I think my feelings just.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
I think I think your personal thoughts and feelings would
just sort of creep their way in.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Of course they would. That's what makes it fun.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
I guess so, But I don't know. I don't know
about it. I mean, it would have been fun, I'm
not sure it would have been good. You know what
I miss?

Speaker 1 (07:15):
What do you miss?

Speaker 2 (07:16):
I miss the very very late night conspiracy shows. You
got to convince the new bosses here to to let
me do yeah and have me in one time, just one.
I will never forget. The lady that called in from
my neck of the woods. Of course it had to
be from Mansfield.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
They are she saw?

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Was it a ten thousand foot long glass spaceship and.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Oh, yes, that was d Night I remember that. Yeah,
we we the Night Show to get some That was
a blast. Trouble is it these days? Every conspiracy theory
that I would come up with would somehow revolve around
Columbus City Council or the Mayor's office or something like that.
They got the new the new Columbus Registry. They're doing
a vacant house and how why do we need a

(08:04):
register registry of vacant houses in the city. You drive
around when you're down here, you see all those orange
stickers on the door. Those are the vacant ones. Why
this is the kind of stuff that I look at
all the time, between the schools and the city hall.
And I guess that's why I like the goofy stuff

(08:25):
and why I like the Well, yeah, seeing you today
just like this is this is so nice. It's so normal,
and I'm not sitting here griping about anything, and that's
unusual for me.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Now, well, we're only forty one days away from our
impending doom. So here we go. I mean, what is
there to complain about at this point? Is here not?

Speaker 1 (08:42):
You are convinced that something's going to go wrong and
I am hopeful that everything's.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Going to Oh you're much more hopeful than I am.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
I think it.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
And it's well, it's not that I think Donald Trump
will lose necessary I think it may be stolen or
something may mysteriously happen on election night, or maybe maybe
we'll be uh nine weeks after election day and we
still won't know what's going on, and then that just
you know, that's.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
I'm gonna try to talk to Boston and letting me
do an election night show like the old days, because
I remember when Donald Trump was elected in sixteen. Yes,
I was up. I couldn't go to sleep. I mean,
I'm gonna come on, come on, class. And when they
finally said, you know we are, we're declaring for Donald Trump,
I literally screamed. I'm sure my neighbors heard me because
it was a decent night, the windows were open. I screamed.

(09:31):
I was so excited. I love election night. It a
thing last and this year, seriously, I'd love to just
stay up until they finally to declare it. And I'm
either gonna openly shout for joy on the air or
cry like a baby. Man.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
I hope, I hope it's good news. And you know me,
I'm a I love looking at the polls and breaking
down the numbers and but yeah, I just I this
time around, I'm ready for election night. Let's get this
over with, hopefully for the better. But hey, we were
at the inauguration. It's been eight years ago.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
It's hard to believe. And that was a wonderful thing.
Your parents said, yeah, we got miles, come on go
with this. And I was for my first time in Washington, DC.
And we walked I don't know, seven eight hundred miles
from the time we got off of that plane to
where we finally ended up near the Washington Monument overlooking
the White House, and the Washington Monument looks so much

(10:26):
different in person. It's it's you know, because it's was
it two different builders or two Yeah?

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, they started it and stopped and then they didn't
finish it till quite a bit later.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
And you can see that when you're staying you've never
been there. When you're standing looking at the Washington Monument,
you're like, this is like they put two different buildings together.
It's very and it was closed. We couldn't go.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah, it got struck by lightning. It's been closed ever,
it's been like ten years. Nobody's been allowed in it
because they're scared that it might just topple over.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
We should fly down there tomorrow and just you know,
sit on the hill just in case things go well
in November. We already got our seats this time and
we don't have to worry about it. And that what
was that that train station? Do you remember the name
of the train station we were in? If Columbus had it.
It was like being in a beehive. It was the
coolest thing. I mean, I've never never been on a
train in DC, never been in DC, So that was

(11:16):
a great experience. Thanks to you and your family for
inviting me.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah, it was. It was a fun day. I also
got a speeding ticket that night and met my wife
the next day.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Really.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, so it was a very eventful twenty four hours
for me.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Well, at least part of it went well.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
And I still have the ticket. It's sort of a
little memento of the day I met my wife.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
I still have a memento of your wife too, just
so you know.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Yeah, I'm sure I'm sure you do.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
I do. She made me a Chuck Douglas radio coffee cup.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Oh, that's right.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
I still have that issues in my bedroom closet at
home with some Cherry's possessions and the d fell off
of Douglas by the way.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Somehow, I don't know how this happened. I ended up
with a signed headshot of you at my house and
I think I need it. Scares the baby and needs
really you need to come get it.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Well, if the baby ever sleeps too hard, you can
always wake him up that way, just throw that in
the crib. Pat. Yeah, I don't recall ever getting a
head shot at that seems like such a I've got it,
big headed thing to do.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
I've got it. I don't know why I have it,
but I have it.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
You probably have all kinds of evidence and stuff. Seriously,
music already all right, Well, it was our last night
together this week and I didn't want to make it
in all serious down trod and week, but he had
to know about the stuff in Fairfield County. Fairfield County
