Speaker 1 (00:00):
What was it? Low LP, high little A big AC?
What was it? I mean, everything's abbreviated.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Now high LP, low l A P D Are we
c M H L A X?
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Are we that lazy? Everything has to I have MD,
I have I have low l P I have We
have to abbreviate everything. Can Can we take time out
to say the name of the affliction? Is it? Are
we that busy that we can't actually say macular degeneration?
(00:32):
We have to say MD?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Low testosterone?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Oh you got the you got the low T. You
don't even have low testoster and you can low T. Yeah,
we can't say words anymore. I'm so it's c bus
instead of Columbus. Why why, it's just it's annoying. For
goodness sake, it's annoying. How you doing, Zach good?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
And if you just say exactly what you have, you
could help other people and you could get like a
support group, like if you have ED say it proudly
like on social media. I would say that, Okay, I'm
trying to do a good thing and connect people with
one another so they can share experiences.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
But is that what it is? Yeah? Not working? Yeah,
the whole uh, the whole need does shortened things has
always bothered me. When Cooper Stadium, you know, you started
calling it the coop bugged me. But the coop it
sounds like a place to keep chickens. We weren't the
Columbus chickens. We were Columbus Clippers, the Redbirds before that,
(01:30):
there was the Columbus Jets before that. At no point
do we need a coop, But the Cooper Stadium was
the coop. I just I don't like it. I don't
The Shott and Stein Center is the shot. Stop it
say the words. If you are so busy that two
extra syllables will throw a crimp into your day, just
(01:52):
stop communicating. Or maybe that's just me because I am
a grumpy old man at this point. I just I
don't know, man, I just it's it's uh, it's it's
it's an annoyance for me, it really is. And I
get you know, we all know. I just people who
actually in conversation will say l L bug me. If
(02:15):
you want to l O L, how about you do this?
Just laugh if something's funny.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Lma am I right, you know what, just laugh.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
We've been abbrevious. The internet is always Back in the
early days of the Internet when everybody was on chatting
and uh, you know AOL Instant Messenger and Yahoo chat
and everything. But one of the first thing you you'd
say hello to somebody in the first as L you remember,
a SL was ASL around for you.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I do remember that age.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yes, okay, pervert, you don't need to know how old
I am. You don't need to know my gender. You
definitely don't need to know where I live. But that
was the first thing everybody wanted to know when you
started chatting with somebody online. And yes, those were abbreviations
basically because uh, the perverts are lazy. Or again, maybe
that's just me. Oh wait a minute, maybe does Michelle
(03:07):
agree with me or not? Michelle, You're on sixth n
W TV, and do you agree with me? Or you
call it? You take me to task?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Chuck igree with you? You know what, that's stupid commercial.
You are so right and once again, brillia as you
hit the chord, because that's stupid commercial. I know it's
probably been on for a few weeks, this high l
little as. It's the stupidest thing ever. Now, the one
problem is by being annoying like that, it sticks in
(03:33):
her brain, and so I actually went and googled what
the hell heck that thing was. I was like, it's
so annoying and I'm sick of this commercial, but yes,
you are one right again.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Well see it's stuck in your brain. But it did
not stick in mind because I had to ask Zach,
what is it? Little l low pe. I don't even
I just heard it and I couldn't remember it, so
it didn't really help me.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Well you're lucky, but unfortunately we're probably gonna hear a
few more weeks and you know, it's just annoying, but
you're right.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Well, thank you, Michelle. I appreciate you. Call it eight
two nine eight eight six at y double UTV in
my number. You're always welcome here when I'm on the air.
Just so you know that I'm not the most structured
person in the world. I in fact, I don't even
call this talk radio. I call it conversation radio. I
talk to people, they talk back, and that's how it
works with me. So I am not one of those
(04:24):
people say okay, you may call between six four and
six oh seven, and now now the spirit moves you,
something comes up and you go, hey, yeah, I was
just thinking about that feel free West.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Of the Rockets. Sorry, every single time I hear a
radio number that always pops in my mind.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Now East of the Rockies with a bad attitude called
eight two one nine eight eighty six, West of the
Rockies in a positive mood called eight to one double UTV.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Broud Slippers in Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
It's a one hour show, take fifty eight minutes giving
the phone numbers. Last night, Columba City Schools had the
first of their meetings, their their community meetings. Tonight they're
having another one, I think, is it Linda McKinley. I
can't remember where it is tonight, but last night it
was at my beloved West High School, and I just
want to say, I'm gonna give kudos to the people
(05:14):
of Columbus. After I got off the air last night,
I drove by West to see what kind of crowd
was there. It was. It looked like a football game
was going on. Lots of cars back parking lot, filled
side parking lot filled Olive Avenue, filled cars on Powell Avenue.
Lots of people turned. I don't know what they said.
(05:35):
I don't know whether I agreed with them or not.
I have no clue. I was just so happy to
see people participating in the process and going in there
to hear what needed to be heard and to say
whatever they felt the need to say. As Columbus City
Schools tries to cut fifty million dollars from their budget
after you just approved one hundred million dollars for I
(05:55):
don't ask me. They asked for one hundred mil. You
gave it to them, and after you gave it to them,
they said, by the way, we're not actually adding anything,
or this is just to keep us going. And then
less than a year later, we need to cut fifty
million dollars. I think there's a lot of a lot
(06:17):
of bs going on, quite frankly, and I say the
same I've been saying it for a long time.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Though.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
First thing, you do, drop the buses. I'm not talking about,
you know, special education buses. I think even a charter situation,
you want some of the money back from the charter schools,
have them participate, find a way to work it out,
get the legislature involved so that they can participate to
some degree in transporting students to the charter schools. But
you know, you want to transport to the charter schools. Fine,
(06:42):
you want to inter into contracts with the private schools
to transport their fine, you have to take care of
your special education kids, that's fine. But the majority, the
majority of the students in the school system should and
could be going to their neighborhood schools period period. Get
rid of there was the rest of those buses. That's
(07:05):
step one. You will save tons o money because first
of all, you won't own the buses. You won't have
any liability with the buses because you know they're paying
out claims. The buses hit stuff all the time. It
happens going through narrow streets and so forth, so you
(07:25):
won't have the liability there. You won't have the fuel expenses,
you won't have the maintenance expenses, you won't have to
buy tires for buses. You won't have to pay bus
drivers or bus driver benefits. You won't have to pay
into the workers comp fund for the bus drivers. You
won't have to pay. It'll save you a bunch of money.
So let the neighborhood kids go to their neighborhood school.
There you go, boom, save you money immediately. And of course,
(07:51):
the second thing, which is near and due to my heart,
you got no business owning a radio station. To show
me how much money that radio station has made for columbusities.
Show me that it's a profit center for club of
city schools. Unless it is making you money, sell it,
(08:13):
take the proceeds, sell it. It is what they call
an educational frequency, So they'd have to sell it to
a university or something like that. But trust me, universities
with big endowments, somebody would jump up and say, yes,
we'll buy that radio station, preferably not WSU, because they
(08:35):
have enough. Maybe a couple of schools will go in,
maybe Yatt Are buy and Ohio Dominican will come together
and do something to buy it, use it as a
training ground for potential future broadcasters who are majoring in
broadcast journalism in the school. Why not sell it. If
it's not making money, get rid of it. Third, let's
(08:59):
talk contracts, because a lot of people are getting paid
a lot of money. And I'm not talking about teachers.
I'm talking about I'm talking about the upper echelon. Frankly,
we're not seeing the results. We continue to not see
the results. Student enrollment down, graduations down. Now there are
(09:21):
anomalies within the system, like again might be loved West
High School, where doctor Roberts, the principal over there, is
making extreme strides. I'm so I'm so proud of that place.
I talk to him fairly often, and I have seen
the growth, the academic growth within that school. And this
(09:42):
guy's just got He's got vision and energy that is
so admirable and so positive, and he's bringing so much
into that school, and the students are stepping up because
because he's requiring it. I wish we could clone him
and put him in a bunch of schools. So there
(10:02):
are those anomalies like West within the system, but the
system overall is not performing as promised. We'ren't getting no
bang for our buck. So you know, just like the
football team, man, sometimes you got to look at the
head coach and work your way down what kind of
(10:25):
compensation is going to whom and for what? What are
we getting for it? Fifty million dollars they say they
need to cut. But again, it's not about the schools
right now. It's just it's about my need, my desire,
my want to come in here and make sure that
I paid you, the people of Central Ohio. The complement
(10:45):
of acknowledging the fact that you turned out strong last
night and it was great to see so many people
over there. I hope they had the same kind of
turnout tonight. I really do. It's going on right now.
I have no idea what kind of numbers they have,
but if last night was an indication, tonight be the same,
They're going to hear a lot of voices. That's great,
(11:05):
A two one w TV. And then Chris, you're on
the Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone line.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Hi, Hey Chuck, Yeah, I'm kind of with you about
Columbus public schools selling their radio stations. The days of
school boards owning radio stations is over, and you're talking
about who could buy it. Well, os, you would probably
(11:31):
want to buy it, because remember when they sold their
AM to the religious broadcasters, they put the AM format
on the FM frequency and then had to buy CD
one on one's old frequency to keep producing classical music.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yeah yeah, but LSU has so much at their disposal.
I'd love to see a little school or a couple
of little schools come in together and purchase WCB. I
really will.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Well, well, well, here here's the thing. Uh C O
s U could sell uh CD one oh one and
you know, a commercial a non com can buy a
commercial frequency, but commercial frequency really really has uh, but
(12:24):
a non commercial frequency is kind of limited about who
can buy it. And you know who's buying just about
every frequency anymore is not schools like are buying it's institutions. Uh,
the e MS Educational Media Foundation that air one and
k love those are the ones that those are the
ones that are buying.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Up all the frequent Yeah, the big religious broadcasters basically
because there they technically don't conduct themselves as commercial radio
because they get on the air every three months and
ask for donations to UH to pay for things and.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
UH, which is exactly what PB, which is exactly what
os U does to and the CBS.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
And you know, sadly, I'd be a lot more generous
to the television station WSU TV if the programming that
they ran while they were trying to get me to
give them money was what they ran all the time.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Exactly. Yeah, I'm the same way. Yeah, we know what
you want to see, but we'll want to show it
to you when we want it.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Open your check there, you go write that check. I
appreciate you, Chris, thanks very much. Let me get Victor.
Right here, real quick, Victor, You're on six end up
with EUTV ED.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Hello, Yeah, I was.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Been listening to you tonight, and I listening to you
a lots, but you were talking about using the letters
and stuff instead of setting it out. And then just
about six months later. Now, I don't want you to
think I'm a wise guy or anything, but six months
later you said, BS.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Well, that's because I like keeping my license intact.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Oh okay, well I just wondered, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
The FCC will allow me to say that word as
a fleeting expletive, but I've been doing this since what
nineteen ninety two, I think it was when I started,
and I'm just pre programmed to avoid those words.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Okay, well, I'm just checking, all.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Right, Victor. I appreciate you. Thank you, buddy,
What was it? Low LP, high little A big AC?

goodness sake, it's annoying. How you doing, Zach good?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
And if you just say exactly what you have, you
could help other people and you could get like a

The Shott and Stein Center is the shot. Stop it
say the words. If you are so busy that two
extra syllables will throw a crimp into your day, just

stop communicating. Or maybe that's just me because I am
a grumpy old man at this point. I just I
