Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, so it's twenty eight bouncing back and forth here
twenty seven and twenty eight at the year severe weather
station News Radio six to ten, double UTV, and that
means that everything that melted off this afternoon is now
icing over. Be careful if you are scared. I'm going
to reiterate what I did at the beginning the Blazer Show.
If you are scared to be out when there is
any kind of weather, please stay home. I do not
(00:22):
say that with anger, with malice of any kind. I
say that out of practicality. If you are scared of weather,
if you cannot bring yourself to drive more than fifteen
or twenty miles per hour because there has been snow,
because there might be a patch of ice up ahead,
(00:43):
don't go out. It's just that simple. You're putting yourself
in jeopardy, you are putting people around you in jeopardy,
and frankly, you're making an inconvenient for those of us
that are not scared of the weather. Does that sound harsh.
I'm not trying to sound harsh. I am.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
If you can't drive, stay home.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
You have a beer wheel drive too, don't you.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, but I know how to drive.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
There you go. You did okay coming in today?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah, no big deal.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, I just coming down McKinley. I just I was
so frustrated trying to get in here this afternoon, and
you know, the kids were all off from school, so
that made it even even more hectic getting in here
this afternoon. And the road was clear, McKinley Avenue, clear dry,
no snow, no ice, know nothing. The speed limit is
(01:32):
fifty miles per hour and this car in front of
me was literally doing between twenty and twenty five. Just
so bitterly frustrating. And then that puts me in a
funky state of mind because you know, I got to
deal with that. I've either got to stay behind you
or I've got to be illegal and go around you. Right,
you're giving me no option for happiness.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Did you say what kind of was it not to
be roote? Was it an elderly person or was it no?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
No, don't no. I passed them so fast I couldn't tell. Uh, yes,
there was just there was no reason to be slow
on McKinley. Right. But there are people who they just
they freak out the minute they see a snowflake. It's
oh no, wait, I don't want to and they turn
on their emergency flight. You're not supposed to be driving
(02:15):
with your emergency flashers. Oh, by the way, Uh, they
get out there with the emergency flashers and they want
to they want to drive real slow. They get on
the freeway and they're going thirty five miles an hour
on a freeway. Just stay home.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
That's one of the worst that even in good weather,
when people get on the interstate going forty. But you're
supposed to get on the interstate when you're By the
time you're on the interstate, you're supposed to be going
the speed of the flow of traffic.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yes, not forty or fifty.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Don't get to the bottom of the ramp and then
hit your brakes and then wait for an opening. Get
up to speed. And the same can be said for
those of you who are on the freeway already. There's
an entrance ramp coming up on your right. If you
can get over into the next lane, do so. Don't
torture the people, go I own the road, your morons,
(03:02):
get over. Let the traffic continue to flow. Nice. It's
just the self centeredness of people makes driving difficult. Yes,
whether it's because you won't let somebody over, or because
you uh, you know you see the flashing lights of it.
You know somebody's pulled over on the the burb of ahead.
You know that in the state of Ohio. You know
(03:24):
you have to pull over. Now, you got to get
over into the next lane. You see those flashing lights.
Police have somebody pulled over, tow trucks getting said, you
have to pull over, But you know you're in the
middle lane, and you want to be a moron and
keep that person in the right lane from getting over.
What's it going to cost you to let off the
accelerator for two point one seconds so they can get
(03:45):
in front of you, or to hit your accelerator and
let them get in behind you. Nothing, you see it,
They see it, but you won't let them over, So
they have no choice but to slow down even more
as they go by in an attempt to be cautious
going around those lines. We just we don't put enough
effort into teaching driving anymore. And and and people are
(04:08):
just not bright enough to be on the roads. They're
not ready. Far too often and this recently, the governor
of the Great State of Ohio, Michael Dowaine, he decided
to put forth this idea, and it was this that
did it go through the legislature. Was an executive order.
I can't remember. But if you are over eighteen, you
(04:31):
still have to go through drivers training as of next year, right.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I remember that. I don't know exactly how how that went.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Which to this point, if you turn eighteen, you didn't
have to go through any kind of driver's training. Should
now you should have to go through it? Yes, and
it should be real drivers training. And uh, you know
if you can't if you can't speak the language well
enough to communicate with an officer of the law when
you're pulled over, I don't know that you need a
driver's license. If you cannot read the digital signs from
(04:59):
O dot to telling you that there's a crash two
miles ahead to get to the right, I don't know
that you should be driving if you cannot comprehend the
rules of the road. I don't think you should be driving.
But we just you know, you come here from somewhere else.
You have no idea, man, They just when's your birthday?
(05:21):
July or January first? Everybody was January first, and they
just guess their age and game of driver's license We've
got too many people on the roads now that came
from places where there were no roads, or if they
were there, they were dirt, no lines, no rules, nobody
to pull you over for bad driving, and we have
(05:42):
integrated them into our society, and those of us who
actually know what we are doing behind the wheel are
expected to deal with them. It's incumbent upon us to
deal with their limitations. And that's ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. So, yes,
this started all as a weather rant, but it is.
It's an all inclusive y'all need to learn how to
(06:04):
drive your car or get off the road rand then
I think I speak for all of us who have
any sense just or maybe that's just me.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
No, it's just incredibly frustrated because it's not driving. Being
a good driver is not difficult. It's not a hard
task to accomplish.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
But most people, I don't see how you cause so
many problems.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
How many people don't want to drive? Now? Though? How
many youngsters come up? They don't, they're twenty years old,
they have no interest in getting a car.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
That must be a difference in generations. Because I couldn't
wait to drive.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Oh that's it. Yeah, that's all I wanted for my
sixteenth birthday was take me down there to get my
driver's license.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Right.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I failed the test twice, but I a written test.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I failed twice, but it wasn't because I failed. It
was because I was using somebody else's car, a smaller
car that my parents thought would be easier for me
to take the test in. And both times it didn't start.
We went, yeah, we went out to start the test
and it did not start. That a failure, Yes it did.
One was my sister's. She had a seventy three Mustang
(07:13):
that was the one that had the real long hood
on it. And uh, go out to take the test.
Trooper gets in and yeah, back then a state trooper
gave you your driver's test too. That was something else.
Not today. They just tire people, probably somebody they gave
a driver's license to what's your name, Bill, Come on in, Bill,
(07:35):
you're hired, and uh, yeah, it used to be a
trooper would come out and give you your driver's test.
And our driver's ed teacher at was high school, Bill Young.
He warned us there were a couple of tricks that
they will give you. For example, they would take you
around through Valley Vue. All on might be loved west Side.
(07:56):
Take you down Wilson Road, VALEEVUEW bring you back up Sylva.
And it used to be a United Dairy Farmer's store there,
and they would tell you as you were coming over
the railroad tracks on North Sylvan Avenue, they'd say, okay,
turn right up here at broad Street. There was an
alley back of the UDF and if you turned on
(08:20):
your turn signal before the alley, you got dinged. You
lost points for that. Oh okay, And apparently this was
something that was common that these troopers would do over
there to test you and make sure you did not
signal until you were coming up on the next available intersection. U.
And he was exactly right. Soon as we crossed the tracks,
trooper said, I want you to turn right up here
(08:41):
at broad Street. And when I got past the alley
before I turned on the turn signal, I saw him
kind of half grin. He's like, okay, he knew. Yeah,
he knew that I knew, And I don't know. We
just we had to put more work into it. We
wanted it more. We trained before it harder. We had
(09:02):
it in school. We had a semester of drivers ed
those two nine week periods. The first nine weeks you
spent in the classroom or in the car, and then
the people who were in the car would come into
the classroom for the second nine weeks. The people who
were in the classroom won't go to the car for
the second nine weeks, and uh ed, and you would
have to go through nine more weeks of whatever you
(09:24):
weren't doing the first nine weeks, you really learned, and
the teachers really taught. Yeah, and now that's it's just
not the case anymore, and it shows now.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
But I do remember what I took my driving test.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
I did every the parallel park driver turn signals, this,
this and this and what I pulled back into the
place where we started the driver's test. I pulled in, uh,
right between two parking spots, like right in the middle
of two parking spots, right on the white line. Perfect, No,
like in the middle, like here's a spot, here's a spot,
(10:01):
and the white line between them.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Going on to it.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Because it was a lady and she goes, all right,
pull in here, no here, So I was just I
crashed out for a second.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Did you have the cones? Did you have to do
the cones.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, that's fault. I did everything perfect
except that, and I went, that was your fault.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Do you remember your written tests with your scores were
on the written test?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
The first time I missed it, I don't know about
how much. The second time I missed it by like.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Very little.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
And then the second time I passed it, but I
don't remember the third time I passed.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Who said it's it's lulls? And what's the other section
of the written test or what was it?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
It was like if your cars pointed downhill, you put
it in break and then turn the tires this angle A, B,
C or D do you turn it?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah, you know that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I can't remember what the other the other part was called.
But anyway, I got a ninety to ninety five on
the written so I was sure I was getting my
my license. And as I said, you can started. First
two times the car didn't start. It's just not even
your fault, though, But well, I'm thinking about driver's tests.
I don't know if you noticed last night's CBS at
eight o'clock. I'm used to watching Cedric the Entertainer and
(11:09):
the Neighborhood, which is it its last season, And I
think that's a shame because it's a fine show, and
they deal with racial issues beautifully, and it's well written
and the plot lines are just they're strong. Everything about
the show I enjoy. So of course CBS is canceling
it now. But last night at eight o'clock, instead of
(11:34):
The Neighborhood, this new show DMV was on, which is
usually on at eight point thirty after the Neighborhood. It
replaced Big Papa's House. And I think, honestly, here's my thought.
I have no proof of this, just gut instinct. I
think the fact that nobody's watching DMV is why they
(11:57):
put it on eight o'clock. So you tuned in at
eight to watch the Neighborhood and that was odd, and
they figured out, you'll just leave it there. You can't
find the remote, it's under the dog. And so because
it's it's honestly, it's a pretty terrible show. It's just
it's not good. It's they they're trying to do the typical,
(12:20):
you know, like the nineties ensemble cast thing, and none
of the cast is strong enough to pull it off.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Is it supposed to be a satirical show at all,
or is it? Yeah, so it's like they're trying to
do an office.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Type of Yeah, it's exactly exactly, except it's a DMV.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
That only works when you have certain chemistry and certain
characters to do that.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
And there has to be that one central character that
everyone else kind of evolves around, whether that's Seinfeld or
whether that was Alex on Taxi or or Brian on
Wings or not Brian but was his brother's name?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I forget, I don't I haven't seen Wings and.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
So, but Wings and Taxi were pretty much the same show,
except one was in a garage and one was in
an airport. But it was actually pretty much the same show.
The cast was all pretty much the same. And I
said the same thing about that new show, the Tim
Allen Show. What's it called again? Mark like said, I
can't stand it. The garage, No, the one he's his wife,
(13:22):
his wife died and his daughter's living with him. Yeah,
Shifting gears, Shifting gears. Yes, it is pretty much last
man standing. They've got the good hearted idiot guy, they've
got the cool no it all guy, they've got the
the ditsy female. They've got I mean it's it's formula television.
(13:45):
It really is.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Kat Dinnings is in it.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I don't Yeah, she does nothing for me.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah, well that's that says more about you.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
And then the other the other broke girl is the
one who is on the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
I've never I don't even know what the name, you've.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Never watched the neighborhood. Really Cedric the entertainer, and then
his wife, Gina is She was Chris Rock's mother and
everybody hates Chris and uh. They live in LA and
they get where the house next door has been sold,
and Cedric finds out he goes all on. They got
(14:22):
a son named Grover, and so they move in and
it's a white family and he goes, it's a white
boy named Grover Grover and so this this white guy, Dave,
wants to be Cedric's best friend. And he's a touchy
feely guy. And their chemistry is great. And the the
(14:44):
racial stuff that has come up, they have just they've
they've done it so beautifully. It's a good show. It
really is, And I'm sorry that it's it's going away.
D m V will probably be expanded to an hour

crashed out for a second.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Did you have the cones? Did you have to do
the cones.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, that's fault. I did everything perfect
except that, and I went, that was your fault.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Do you remember your written tests with your scores were
on the written test?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
The first time I missed it, I don't know about
how much. The second time I missed it by like.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Very little.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
And then the second time I passed it, but I
don't remember the third time I passed.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Who said it's it's lulls? And what's the other section
of the written test or what was it?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
It was like if your cars pointed downhill, you put
it in break and then turn the tires this angle A, B,
C or D do you turn it?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah, you know that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I can't remember what the other the other part was called.
But anyway, I got a ninety to ninety five on
the written so I was sure I was getting my
my license. And as I said, you can started. First
two times the car didn't start. It's just not even
your fault, though, But well, I'm thinking about driver's tests.
I don't know if you noticed last night's CBS at
eight o'clock. I'm used to watching Cedric the Entertainer and
(11:09):
the Neighborhood, which is it its last season, And I
think that's a shame because it's a fine show, and
they deal with racial issues beautifully, and it's well written
and the plot lines are just they're strong. Everything about
the show I enjoy. So of course CBS is canceling
it now. But last night at eight o'clock, instead of
(11:34):
The Neighborhood, this new show DMV was on, which is
usually on at eight point thirty after the Neighborhood. It
replaced Big Papa's House. And I think, honestly, here's my thought.
I have no proof of this, just gut instinct. I
think the fact that nobody's watching DMV is why they
(11:57):
put it on eight o'clock. So you tuned in at
eight to watch the Neighborhood and that was odd, and
they figured out, you'll just leave it there. You can't
find the remote, it's under the dog. And so because
it's it's honestly, it's a pretty terrible show. It's just
it's not good. It's they they're trying to do the typical,
(12:20):
you know, like the nineties ensemble cast thing, and none
of the cast is strong enough to pull it off.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Is it supposed to be a satirical show at all,
or is it? Yeah, so it's like they're trying to
do an office.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Type of Yeah, it's exactly exactly, except it's a DMV.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
That only works when you have certain chemistry and certain
characters to do that.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
And there has to be that one central character that
everyone else kind of evolves around, whether that's Seinfeld or
whether that was Alex on Taxi or or Brian on
Wings or not Brian but was his brother's name?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I forget, I don't I haven't seen Wings and.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
So, but Wings and Taxi were pretty much the same show,
except one was in a garage and one was in
an airport. But it was actually pretty much the same show.
The cast was all pretty much the same. And I
said the same thing about that new show, the Tim
Allen Show. What's it called again? Mark like said, I
can't stand it. The garage, No, the one he's his wife,
(13:22):
his wife died and his daughter's living with him. Yeah,
Shifting gears, Shifting gears. Yes, it is pretty much last
man standing. They've got the good hearted idiot guy, they've
got the cool no it all guy, they've got the
the ditsy female. They've got I mean it's it's formula television.
(13:45):
It really is.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Kat Dinnings is in it.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I don't Yeah, she does nothing for me.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah, well that's that says more about you.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
And then the other the other broke girl is the
one who is on the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
I've never I don't even know what the name, you've.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Never watched the neighborhood. Really Cedric the entertainer, and then
his wife, Gina is She was Chris Rock's mother and
everybody hates Chris and uh. They live in LA and
they get where the house next door has been sold,
and Cedric finds out he goes all on. They got
(14:22):
a son named Grover, and so they move in and
it's a white family and he goes, it's a white
boy named Grover Grover and so this this white guy, Dave,
wants to be Cedric's best friend. And he's a touchy
feely guy. And their chemistry is great. And the the
(14:44):
racial stuff that has come up, they have just they've
they've done it so beautifully. It's a good show. It
really is, And I'm sorry that it's it's going away.
