Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let me start with this first. I posted on my
Facebook page and I verified the story first. It's a shame.
It is a shame that in twenty twenty five we
even have to verify these types of things. But there's
a story about a young girl, thirteen year old Goo,
missing from the Reynoldsburg area. Jess mean, I forgot the
last name already, not find kind look that up for me,
(00:26):
WI youaseach, But anyway, I called the Reynoldsburg Police Department
verified it is indeed a true story. Thirteen years old.
She's been missing since I believe the eleventh or I'm sorry,
the fifth today being the eleventh. But keep your eyes
open for her. I mean, it's cold outside and you
never know what somebody's story is. But when it comes
(00:46):
to kids, I you know, I always want to get
that stuff out there. And unfortunately I'm skeptical now when
I see these stories because there's some dirtball, you know,
who thinks it's funny or things they can profit or
something like that that puts out things that they know
people are gonna go, oh my gosh. That one. The
(01:07):
police story, for example, the missing police officer from a
few months ago. Do you remember that one that was
floating all over the place, except the officer. While the
story remained the same and the officer's name remained the same,
there were different pictures of different officers. It was a
completely fake story, but it was It led you to
(01:28):
believe that there was a police officer who, you know,
in the course of performing her duties, was abducted or something,
but had disappeared. And police departments all over the country
were getting these, you know, calls about a missing officer.
And you know, fortunately I'm a detailed kind of guy.
When it came through that this was a Columbus police
(01:50):
officer missing, first thing I noticed was in the wrong uniform.
The patch on the arm was not the right patch,
the badge was not the right badge, and so I
knew immediately this is a scam. But when it comes
to things like missing children and so forth, you never know.
And I just I wanted to make sure that you knew.
I put it up on the Facebook page. There's a
(02:10):
picture of her, a good picture of her. Just please
do keep your eyes open. What did you get her
last names?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Act?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Oh, he's he's busy playing Space Invaders again.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
So this is not a good thing.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
There's so many what do you type in missing persons
so and so or whatever city, there's so many people
that come up.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I just figured you look at my Facebook page. Well
posted it on that.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I didn't know you put on your Facebook page.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah. I just said that he pays no attention to me.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
None, none, jasmina.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Link link, Thank you? How can I forget link? One
of my favorite teachers in high school was mister Link.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Oh my gosh, from Zelda too.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
So I wouldn't know anything about Zelda no one, So,
jasmina link. Thirteen years of ature pictures up on my
Facebook page. Just look up Chuck Douglas, a big melon
head in a blue suit and check that. It'll be
the second post on my page and you can get
a picture of her. I heard that story. Did you
catch what Allison was saying about the they want to
go back and explore the Edmund Fitzgerald again? Did you
(03:18):
hear what that was? Apparently after all these years, wait,
we need theme music for that. Do you have the
theme music ready for that? Because they need Yes.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Some of the family members aren't too happy about it.
It seems like.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Because I don't understand why after all these years, why
is why is first of all, what's there left to investigate?
I've never met anybody who calls superior. Gets you Goomy,
by the way, Get you Goomy. This is a tragic
(03:58):
song about a tragic event, and for some reason I
always check chuckled during this song because there is one stanza.
There is one stanza in the song, and I think
it's I think it's either the third or fourth during
the chorus of by this. This an excellent bathroom song
if you ever go into radio and you're playing an
(04:18):
oldiest station or something, because it's like six minutes eighteen
seconds long.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah, yeah, it's six minutes.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah. I saw Gordon Lightfook in concert before he passed
away at the Palace Theater and his voice still sounded wonderful.
I wasn't all that impressed with whoever was running sound
for the show. They had way too much high end
in it.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
But was he a one hit wonder?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
That's not a Gordon Lightfoot?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, I don't know anything about him.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Go, oh my gosh. No, man, the guy ruled the charts. Okay,
you can bring that down, now, bring it down. It's
oh here he goes again. Uh yeah, if you could
read my mind. Love what a till the that's good too.
That's my favorite. But in the in the Edmund FitzGeralds
song again about the sinking of a ship and all
these people die. But I think it's the third or
(05:08):
fourth stanza, and the lyrics are when supper time came,
the old cook came on dicks in, fellas, it's too
rough to feed you at seven pm, A main hatchway
given and he said, fellows, it's been good to know you.
That's not funny, but I always laugh. I'm just the
(05:29):
ship is going down and fellas, it's been good to
know you. It's been good. Yeah. So anyway, they're going
to explore the Edmon Fitzgerald, and I don't know why.
I don't know after all these years, what they could
possibly be looking for. And I don't know really what
the family objecting, or the family is objecting. I'm not
(05:52):
sure what those objections are. I'm not negating them. I
just don't know what they would be after all these years.
Superior is a deep and cold I imagine there's probably
things preserved on that wreck just because of the temperatures
in the water. But anyway, the Edmin Fitzgerald back in
the news. Mark and I were for some reason burst
(06:13):
out into singing the Jello Gelatin jingle about forty five
minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
It's really miserable.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
We sounded like the Mormon Tabernacle radio hosts and okay,
but it got me thinking about all of the stuff
that we used to eat that was inspired, especially kids,
stuff that was inspired by songs.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Food.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
When they advertised food, there used to be music. Honeycomb's big. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's not small. No, no, no, you remember that. There's
I can't think of is there any food item that
advertises with a song now? Because nothing comes to mind
(07:02):
that I can think of, and I mean some of them.
There was a soft drink called Help Help Help, the
real fruit drink red and purple and orange and pink.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I don't make a ton of jingles for things like
they used to.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
No, there's really not, and I kind of miss especially
again with the kids stuff, the fun stuff, the colorful stuff,
the fruity stuff, the mostly chemically created stuff that the jingles,
the jingles used to sell them to the kids.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I mean the jingles look at Heartland Bank like between breaks,
we'll see yesh Heartland Bank song.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
We hear it so much.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Sometimes we gather around, will build a little campfire in
the studio and sing the Heartland Bank jingle.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
But it sticks with you. If you hear it more
than once.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
You can't get away from it. And I just find
it funny that it is so effective, and yet there
are all these you know, marketing people out there who
think they know what they're they're saying and what they're doing,
and they will, oh, that's old school. People don't respond
to that. Yeah, they do. And I just I find
(08:08):
myself after singing the Jello song, I find myself thinking,
I miss I miss commercial jingles. Fago in thirty two
or forty eight in either size, Fago's great regular in
sugar free Fago, which is made right here in central Ohio,
Shasta and Feago over on Growport Road. You a Shasta
(08:30):
fan or a Fago fan?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
No, nothing against them, It's just not my really, it's
not my thing.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I still to this day, would you know not hot
day loving a nice Fago red pop? Are you love that? Rid?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Are you part of the Juggalo crew like insane clown posse?
Because they drink Fago?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Do they really? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
That's their big thing.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
That I didn't know that. I just think more products
need jingles more I don't. I don't have a reason
for it. Just as a consumer, I miss jingles, and
I think that if somebody were to come out of
the game and say, you know what, we're going to
start doing jingles for everything again, I seriously think they
(09:11):
would see a marked difference in people buying their product.
And if I'm wrong, you know it's their money, not mine.
I don't care. Just say, Ohio retailer to leave its
doors closed on Black Friday. It's the second year in
a row. I've never heard of this Ohio retailer. It's
called Recreational Equipment. Ink. Are you familiar with them?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
No, I've never heard of them.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Are EI? They apparently they're based. I think they're based
in Denver. But they're going to be closed on Thanksgiving,
which is good. But they're also closing on Black Friday,
which again I harken back, just like with the jingles,
(09:57):
I miss. I miss the excite of Black Friday. I
miss Do you remember when Black Friday actually occurred on
Black Friday? Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
But the internet was the Internet killed it?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yes, it killed it. It killed Super Bowl commercials. I'm
not super Bowl commercials are out there on the internet
a month before the Super Bowl. I would love to
see people back in the brick and mortar stores that
day after Thanksgiving, still weighed down by way too much
turkey and punkin pie, getting up at four am going
out to get that there's three TVs at that price, man,
(10:30):
but we're gonna stand in line to get one of them. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
No, my sister in law would get up.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
She was out there at three in the morning, or
like religiously, yes, every single Black Friday it was a
big deal.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
And you go out and buy a newspaper so that
you could see all the ads the day before and
know who had and you you know, commando teams. Okay,
now you take the Walmart. I'm gonna go over here
to the Meyers store. Bob and Peggy, we're gonna need
you to hit this that. It was like a straight
we'll all meet up for lunch here at it was.
(11:03):
It was part of the essence of the holiday season.
Was I think because of that that in person collaboration
between friends and family members going out to get these
deals and you know, out into the fray, I think
there was a communal Now listen, hear me out. People,
(11:25):
hear me out, because I mean this, there was a
communal thing. We were all out there at some ridiculous
hour going into the stores try to get these deals,
trying to get the Cabbage Patch kids for the baby
or whatever, and there was something that kind of brought
us together as we kicked off that Christmas season. It
(11:48):
wasn't the cold, unattached www everything coming to your front door,
soulless essentially Christmas gift giving that it has been. I
think Black Friday was good for us. I think bustling
(12:09):
shopping malls and a vibrant downtown shopping experience was wonderful
for us. Technology is a wonderful thing, but it's really
just taken the soul out of us in so many ways.
And I'm you know, the fourteen thousand employees with this
company that are going to have Thanksgiving off and a
(12:31):
paid day off on Friday, well, good for them and
God bless but really just a big picture perspective of
the whole thing. I missed the days when we used
to go out there and as people walk by with
their treasures and did our Christmas thing. It made Christmas
a more I don't know, enjoyable time of year than
(12:57):
just spending money. And is this a gift? Click the box,
who's it going to? Put their name in there, put
the shipping address in there. You never have to see them,
you never deal with them. You just send them something
that's just wow. That seems harsh, but it is what
it is.
