(00:00):
And thank you for listening. MarkBlazer with Josh Cese And yesterday was for
a lot of people a very movingexperience, a very moving thing that happened.
And uh, yes, I'm talkingabout the eclipse. And so I
thought it was interesting that what animalsstarted doing, and it felt like a
(00:23):
lot of people were talking about forinstance, So where you were, did
you notice like birds and different stufflike that, like any kind of difference
with regard to the animals or orwhat did you pay attention to it?
I was so caught up in whatthe eclipse, But yes, I didn't
(00:44):
recognize they got completely silent during theeclipse and it just added to the uh
the magical aura about the whole experiencethat was just overwhelming for me yesterday.
Yeah, but I did act oncewe got into the once once totality hit,
I noticed, Oh okay, hernychirping. Can't hear the frogs?
(01:07):
My my father in law has alittle swampy pond thing behind his his house
out by his patio. Couldn't hearthat? You know? When we heard
the frogs all paper frogs. Ohyeah, well this is the time of
year for the peepers. Yes,I love paper frogs very cute, the
best frog, right, the paperfrog. Yeah, but yeah, I
did notice it got quiet. Iabsolutely did. So it was funny.
(01:32):
My mom was telling me they wereoutside and they're in the Polaris area,
and she said, like the birdswere going crazy, like the like every
everything was going crazy, and thenit got like quiet, and then uh,
everybody is also saying I think alot of the same thing. It
(01:53):
was like, uh, if youhad you know lights that come on in
you know, when it gets donea street, all of his lines around
his property, they just come on. What's interesting is trying to find like
for instance, you know, sunset, and you know it's like when is
(02:15):
the moment where they come. Itwas so pronounced based on what I was
reading and hearing last night, youknow, all over socials and everybody who
were calling in yesterday, Like itwas like so pronounced, like it's like
you know, light pretty light kindof light boom, you know, Like
it was like I thought that's thething that was most It was like flipping
a switch. It absolutely was likeflipping a switch. Right, So,
(02:38):
you know, Chuck was sitting rightwhere you are and I was on the
air and we had the blinds up, and I just felt like, I
was like, wow, it itIt wasn't so you know, you just
used the sunset and sun up,you know, the sun rise, so
it's so gradual. But this wasjust so abrupt. So that to me
was kind of what stood out.And then also the fact that it was
(03:00):
like that, and then it wasgone pretty quickly too, you know.
I mean when he had three minutesI believe three minutes and forty seconds of
totality up, I was. Iwas just outside of Tiff and I was
in between. I was on Routesixty seven between Tiff and Ohio and a
little town called Melmore. And youcouldn't have gotten more in the path of
(03:23):
totality than that. A lot ofpeople there was like, oh there was
nothing in Tiffin itself, just thepeople that live there of course, right
right, Like I didn't see likea bunch of now I don't know,
I didn't go into Tiffin Town proper, so I don't know. I know,
they were playing on a very busyday and I was reading We've got
(03:46):
up there Sunday, and I wasreading the tiff and paper and you know,
so forth, and they were talkingabout how all the law enforcement they
were gonna have there, so Idon't know, but out in the middle
of b f E. God's country, God's country where my father in law
lives, it was no there wasno problem. You and my wife's family
(04:11):
were all there. And the onlything I did notice is that even my
father in law did this, andI and so did a bunch of other
places on our way there, theytied off caution tape just because in just
in case, they didn't want carspulling off into their yard. Right.
So it makes total sense because beingin the path of totality kind of in
the middle of nowhere, you reallydon't want that to start happening, because
(04:32):
all it takes is one or twoand then it's yeah, we're thought,
yeah, it's start. That's whatwe're supposed to do it. We can
pull over there. Yeah right,yeah, you know how the herd mentality
works, that's it. And Iwas getting reports from different people DM and
me going yeahs on two seventy peopleare pulling off and you know, I'm
just like they told they said,don't do this, and everybody's doing If
(04:55):
I was still getting alerts, youknow, local Columbus alerts on my phone,
while I was up north, surein Tiffan and I what was it
like, twenty three got shut downlike in Lewis Center. I believe like
they just shut it down around twoo'clock or two thirty. I didn't.
(05:15):
I didn't like eventually, I justdid. Yeah, like I got that,
I got this alert and it justsaid because I think it became impassable.
You could not go, you couldn'tget. People were kept apparently forty
two and rivers and two fifty sevenRiverside. Yeah, that was an absolute
nightmare from marketner Stand Yeah. Yeah, and there were other places around here,
(05:38):
but no, it was wonderful.And our drive home, of course
we didn't leave un till seven o'clocklast night, but our drive home was
I'm glad you waited, because whenI was driving from here home northbound on
twenty three was fine. Southbound faras you could see, both lanes just
stacked. And I was like,oh, and that makes sense people coming
(05:59):
from the north, you know,coming south from the north to try it
absolutely to get back. But Iwas just like, oh, but smart
on you to wait. I don'tknow if that was even on purpose,
but it sounds like it served youwell. Though it did. And the
one I think the thing I tookthe most out of the eclipse, and
I'll you know, repeat and ifanybody saw my social media, the thing
I took from the eclipse the most, and it was a very profound moving
(06:20):
experience for me, was how perfectour Creator is, how perfect God Almighty
is. It is insane, howmathematically perfect and just exact it has to
be for any planet in any solarsystem, in any galaxy to have a
(06:45):
you know, a complete one percenttotality eclipse, you think about it,
that planet has to be the exactright distance from its star. It has
to have a moon that is theexact right shape, the exact right size,
the exact right distance from that planet. And for all of those to
line up like yesterday, just confirmedhow how perfect God is to me.
And it was. It was awesome, man, it was, it was,
(07:06):
really it was. I'm so profoundlyhappy I watched it. Well,
I'm convinced that I don't know ifyou've ever heard Chuck talk about he has
had to have needles in his eyesbased on some I think testing or so
on and so forth. I'm convincedwhat those needles did was make him impervious
two eclipses, because yesterday he staredat the eclipse the entire time. He
(07:30):
never did stop looking at it,So I mean it was just like I
was like, dude, don't dothat, you're gonna and he's completely fine.
So I think he's super human.Something's going on there was very he
may be the only one who survived, and did you know after looking at
it, Yeah, he might hemight be. However, I did watch
him walk into three walls earlier.Oh well, yeah, there could be
(07:51):
some floaters or something going on there, but he claims that it's not a
big deal and anything that might bethere would eventually just kind of decide Okay,
great. Yeah, I mean butI'm happy to see that. I
also thought for me and I didn'trealize this was going to even be something
that kind of grabbed my attention withthis, but I just I like the
(08:11):
animal part of this, Like theanimals. Somebody was talking about how the
horses start going that you know,they have a barn and as soon as
this starts happening, starts getting dimor whatever, horses like head in there
and they're like, uh, okay, you know, dinner time, let's
eat you know, or whatever,sun comes out and they're like, oh,
okay, I guess we go backout, So then they like,
(08:33):
go back out. I just thinkit's so fascinating how animals just kind of
that's their clock. Many they clearlycan't tell time, but they can tell
time with regard to daylight and soon. But I just I thought it
was really cool. They're saying thesezoo animals, they exhibit an unusual behavior,
which you would think is what wouldhappen because they're like, uh,
(08:56):
wait, what's happening here? What'sgoing on? You know of a thing,
but this out of Fort Worth,they were talking about a lot of
animals they said stayed calm, butsome were like, uh, you know,
curious and trying to figure it out, but then retreating to sleep due
to lack of the sun, andthen you know, then back out as
soon as it comes back out withina couple of minutes. They're like,
(09:20):
I'm so confused. What am Isupposed to do here? I thought I
was supposed to go to bed.I guess I'm not supposed to go to
bed. And then I also thoughtwith the Columbus Zoo, I basically just
kind of skimmed over this. Youprinted this. Elephants and ostriches had the
biggest reaction to this. What waswhat was basically there? I mean just
just just the behavior pattern changed andjust for bed very very quickly. You
(09:46):
know that type of thing. Anddude, it was dude, I got
to you were talking about God's country. I thought of something. I had
to laugh, and I was like, oh, I want to remember to
say this on the air. Therewas a fart farmer work in this field.
You could see it across the roadfor my father in laws, and
(10:07):
my god, this guy's you knowwhat, he's planting. It looks like
he was probably planting since it's aboutthat time we're getting close. The eclips
goes down all of a sudden,I have no glance over. He's just
he's still just planting right along,except all the lights on his tractor are
now on. During totality, thisguy could not care. He did not
(10:28):
he didn't stop the tractor. Theman kept coming after it. It's funny.
It's amazing, like this guy,that's a deadline or something. Dude,
us, how serious two farmers taketheir planning schedule? Well, this
man didn't stop for a once ina lifetime event for a minute. Yeah,
So the next one, I guessis like Florida to California, and
(10:50):
it's what twenty two years, twentyyears, twenty forty four. The next
one you can see in Ohio istwenty seventy nine, So if I live
to be ninety seven, I cansee another one here in Ohio. Yeah,
yeah, I can hear the doubtin your voice. Well, there
are a lot of people who aredoing that math as well and going yeah,
I watched the last one. Yeah, listen, I'm live. I
(11:13):
only need one in my life,and I know I'm not gonna say I
Well, in twenty forty four,would you then, now what you've experienced,
maybe you go to Florida or somewhereand just use it as an excuse
to be there. But again,uh, I don't know. At what
point do you start trying to whatplace is there are taking bookings? They're
not going to book out this farclearly. But well, my brother lives
(11:35):
in Miami, so I got thatgoing for me. Yeah, you think
you still will in twenty years he'llstill be there. I don't know.
And unfortunately my aunt, my auntand uncle won't be there in twenty years.
So they're just they're they're just twoup in age, right, it's
you know, I gotcha. Yeah, So there it is. Everybody.
Everybody survived. The world did notend. Nothing crazy happen and so on
(11:58):
and so forth. But I Iwill tell you this because you weren't here,
but on Dublin Road yesterday, Idon't know, it might have been
one o'clock range somewhere around there,all the power went out. So immediately
I start going, so this iswhat the end feels like. You know,
it's just kind of in my mindkind of laughing it off or whatever.
That was weird. It's crazy asthat flip switch where it was like
(12:20):
basically dark, you know, likenine o'clock is now. Yeah, the
eeriest part was that last ten minutes, five to ten minutes before and after
when the light is like you're going, okay, it's light out. But
this is the most unnatural light I'veever seen in my life. It's you've
never seen it duplicated. I've neverseen that type of light filtered and duplicated.
(12:45):
That's something only nature can exactly doit. I don't know if we
can create it on a human level. See I don't think so artificially,
I don't think we can. Imean, I think that's going to get
God's like, this is my light. You deal with this. So somebody
already came forward in Oregon, inPortland, I guess this plaid pantry convenience
(13:05):
store in the northeast part of Portlandis the one that sold this ticket.
So somebody who won that already,because over the weekend, just one person
ended up winning this, oh man, all six hundred million dollars. One
person. Oh Man, it's important. They better not be some woke,
(13:26):
lefty hippie scumbag. You know,it's Portland, it's Parks, it's Portland.
Man, who now is going toembrace capitalism? The chances are great
than it is. Some money thatis what you just described, and hopefully
they don't use their money for eviland bad political donations. Fourth largest powerball
(13:46):
jackpot in history, eighth largest amongUS jackpot games. I was, I'm
in shock to hear that I forgotabout these, dude, I forgot about
twenty sixteen, there was a onepoint five eighty six billion power Look how
many of those are California. Ofthe top ten largest jackpots, one California
(14:07):
is half of them? One twoor four? Maybe yeah, four of
them? You're right. I countedthat when I was when I was reading
the story, I'm like, yougotta be kidding me. Yeah, man,
two billion, Yeah, it's itis, it feels like. And
people were tagging me going see thefixes in because do you did you see
(14:28):
the story? Because I you know, you weren't here yesterday. Did you
see the story where there was adelay? Something happened with it? What
I heard it, it got delayedlike big time. They were waiting on
one of the outlets to uh,you know, give up what they had
sold, or I I there wassomething some tea didn't get crossed or I
(14:48):
didn't get dotted from somebody collectively hereand that's what delayed everything before they drew.
So I that that's what they're claiming. How are we to know if
that really isn't the situation matter?There's no way you and I can verify
that, right, But I justwent, you gotta be kidding me.
When I saw that, I waslike, it just when stupid stuff like
(15:11):
that happens, when it's so crucial, that's where you know everybody starts going,
oh what is going on something,The fix is in here, you
know, so on and so forth, trnofing what WTV info on the go with
