Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Remember, cannot complain about this weather in Ohio.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
We're spoiled. We're spoiled. I hope we're connected.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
We are connected?

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Are we connected? Actually? Can you hear us? You know?

Speaker 1 (00:21):
One of the best things about we had one of
my very best friends from middle school, high school, college
came to the lake this weekend and we haven't seen
each other in a long time. It's been a while.
Always stay connected to good, close friends, but to actually
see things when you don't live in the same city anymore,
it gets to be a challenge. But when you do
get together, you know, the beauty of old friends is

(00:45):
not only do you relive so many funny, great memories
that you guys created in the past, but then you
make new ones as well. And I you know, there's
that old saying, you know, make new friends, keep the
old one is silver and the other's gold. Love as
many friends as you can have in life, good quality friends.
There's nothing like it other than family. But there is

(01:05):
something special about your older friends and then making these
new memories again. It's just there is something special about that.
And I cherish everyone, everyone, everyone who's in my life,
and I think that it's so important to take some
time to just be with friends.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
It's always good to have just good people. Nobody's like
being a pain. That's what good friends are. Like, Okay,
there's that one guy, but he always opens the men
who cares and everybody gets so serious and so in
the political stuff, it's just like, you know, you get
that one guy it's married to the Karen Liberal. Yeah,
and you're like, oh gosh, and then you don't want
to invite them because you can't be yourself because she's

(01:41):
already to jump on everybody. I can't believe you just
said that.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
You get those you don't need those type of headaches
in your life. And that's why it's so fun to
just be around people who are constantly upbeat, positive, never complaining.
So that's what I just wanted to throw that out there.
So Jackie, you're probably driving home right now, hopefully you're listening.
So glad you came up to Indian Lake and sorry
that you fell and got a black eye. But again,

(02:07):
there's just more memories. She woke up this morning, We're like, okay,
we're going to church. It's ten o'clock. She's like, I
can't go to church. I have a black eye. Did
I fall. I'm like, oh, yeah, you did fall. I
forgot all about that till you brought it up. Those
are the fun good times and we're like a few drinks. Yeah,
She's like, I am fifty seven years old.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
But she got hammered and went to church.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
She did not go to church. She's saying she couldn't
go to church because she's a black guy.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Right. God don't care about shiners exactly. He wouldn't designed
your body to get shiners if you didn't.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Have you ever done that though, where you just maybe
had a couple of cocktails and you fell or something
and you forgot all.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
About you kidding me, Look who you're talking to. I've
done so much. I woke up one morning with blood
my mouth and a tooth chiped. I was thanking. I
was young. We were allowed to drink when we were young.
Member we had beer, but my buddies I passed out.
I was releaving myself into a slushy puz one passed
out into it. So my mom walked, Yeah, I was

(03:03):
drunk on this, and my my buddies picked me up
and threw in the back of his chavelle and I
ate the had he had a four way and it
went down my throat your tooth. I got a little
chip right here on the edge of my tooth.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
So when you woke up.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
My mom woke me upside of work. Next morning, she says,
what are you doing? What what happened to you? I
had dried you hit ur and on me and slush
and mud and my blood down my face and my
tooth was chipped. And she's like, I don't even know
what to say to you. Just get to work. I
went to work.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Was that one of the worst things that has happened
to you after a night of drinking?

Speaker 2 (03:36):
And it's probably I've had a few, but that physically, Yes,
the dog had buttoned me last year at the shop.
I was half hand.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
I remember, I didn't know you were hammered with that one.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Oh yeah, I was leaving the moose. But then I
guess here's another one. My dad woke me up one
morning when I was nineteen, before I moved to Columbus.
He said, what do you do in front of your beetle?
I had old ball hobble so I can beat ale
booty eyed? What you do in front of it? And
I was like, what do you mean? I look outside.
The whole front end was smashed in. So we're my
buddy's wedding ten years later, and Joe and Brady my

(04:07):
two closest friends growing up. They're both my best men
in my first wedding. And I said, man, whatever, what
are I happened to my bug that night, and they
start cracking up, laughing why passed out and was in
the back of my car. Well, the least intoxicated one.
There was an old loading dock in Martin's Ferry where
there was no trucks used to back up like five feet. Well,
then two dummies are college educated. They thought, if they

(04:28):
go fast enough the way of the volt swaging, because
the motors in the back, we would land like Herbie
and land on the back wheels and jump it. Well
they went like, the front end is smashed straight into
the ground and it tore my back bumper off. So
I've took it.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Wonder you're still alive.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Oh my god, we've done it all. If my buddies
came there.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
You wouldn't trade a minute moment of it.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
There not regrets or lessons learned. And I'm not proud
of the story because but that's what kills me when
people go, well, I can't believe my son did this
or my daughter did that, And I'm like, do you
not remember what you did? Because none of us are perfect,
and luckily some are. Guardian Angel kept us alive. And
my brother was nuts. My brother rolled a Volkswagen Beetle
in the woods and my foot was caught between the door.

(05:13):
We rolled on my side. We buy both Volkswagens for
twenty five bucks back then. Well, my foot and my
shin was trapped between the dasher told me about bugs,
little bugs, little beatle bugs. They're expensive as heck now
because everybody destroyed him like my brother and I them
not new over like in Mexico or somewhere where she's
they're not. They they'll never pass at crash test here

(05:33):
in United States because they're so dangerous.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Us be so popular. My friend Michelle always wanted a
convertible bug, that's all she wanted.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, but you hit head on m O boy. But
I'm stuck in the car and my brother crawls out
and said, ha ha. He left me in there for
at least an hour just to mess with.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
His little sibling.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
That's what we do. And my dad was so mad,
I told my brother if that didn't happen, I'm like,
bull didn't happen. I have PTSD from my brother. My
hero leaves me trapped in a car.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
So Kylon growing up, it was always like claustrophobic, like
that was just the one thing that he had bothered him.
He didn't want anyone like laying on top of him.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
It was one of those things.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
So they were at school where Randy was teaching and coaching,
and it was during the summer, so they were had
the lockers open, they were cleaning everything out. So Kai
goes in there just for funny. Cameron shuts the door
of the locker, so he's stuck in the locker and
they couldn't get it open. Then I'm on the phone
because Randy's calling me. I'm on the phone. I'm like, what,

(06:28):
you gotta get a key. That was one of the
worst experiences he's ever had. His sister. It sounds like
you and your brother, sister, Cammy shut the door and
it locked, so he's stuck inside this locker. In high school,
Randy had to go get the skeleton key from a janitor.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh he was in the same school, thank goodness.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Well, yeah, I just said they were all at the school,
But it was.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
I thought to go from school to school. I'm sorry,
I thought she was in Cholick.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
You know what. They may they may have been, it
may have been in there younger days, but they would
go to the school.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
That's why you threw him.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Actually, yeah, no, I bet it was. It was at
the high school where Randy taught, and but they would
go there on Saturday school. That's around Yeah, because I
was working on the air on SATURDAYRK. So Randy would
have a Saturday school every like once a month, so
he'd take the kids with him. They would go and
run around the school.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
What's the worst thing you ever did?

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Then?

Speaker 2 (07:23):
What was your worst? Oh?

Speaker 1 (07:25):
No, I'd have to think about it.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
You weren't that crazy though.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
I just told you about my friend Jackie getting a
black eye last night. So she's driving home. I'm thirty three.
She pulled over. Yeah, just probably not even an hour ago.
She kids pulled over. She's like, I've got this black eye.
I'm just gonna cry. I'm going to say, oh my gosh,
I just got to hit you know. He goes, Oh,
I have see that. You haven't had the ticket in
a while, you're just you're fine, go ahead and care.
I don't know, Jackie, if you're listening, call us up,

(07:50):
let us know how fast were you going.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
But that's what's a good state trooper. Then God bless him,
because you know what, they're getting better state troopers. And
the old days write everybody a ticket, they'd write her mother.
They're getting more human. Ooh, you get the wrong troop. Well,
I saw a lady on her flight two weeks ago,
her son's trainer. He's a state trooper in southern Ohio,
and he pulled her over going fifteen over and she

(08:15):
was going like fifty and a thirty. Wait, sixty and
a forty five. You know, one of them who cares.
But he wrote her. Well, she called her son. She goes,
why are you tell him that you were my mother?
She says, I would never do that. And he called
the trainer's sergeant whatever he is, and he goes, that
was your mother. I didn't know because she got remarried,
had a different name, I guess, but he would have
wrote her. But again some people would argue, is that

(08:37):
fair that she could speed and you and I can't,
which I'm okay with that it's not what you know
is who you know. It's this life and get over
his life. That's life.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Okay, So we need to take a break. We have
so much stuff coming up this hour and the next
hour two. But I have some sound that I got
off of social media for you, Boots, something that you
were constantly saying on the airwaves and out in public,
something that you can't stand. Okay, and you and I

(09:05):
disagree with this, but this sound one hundred percent agrees
with you.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
I think you're on Facebook working here.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
In a second.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
I got the new password. That's what's screwing everybody up.
We got hacked. We had to change brassword.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
