(00:22):
Mark Blazer, Chuck Douglas and uh, well, Chuck sends me
a picture earlier and it's uh, the queen holding a
marriage certificate.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Did you get a little scared?

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Dar Day?

Speaker 1 (00:32):
I said, Oh my gosh, man, I was like, wow,
that was fast. No dust is gathering on that ring
which you presented on Thanksgiving. And then I said it
to a little bit before the show, I don't know,
around twenty two or so, Zach's like, uh, if you
were from Chuck And I go, yeah, yeah, he sent
me a picture. I go, yeah, the marriage certificate and

(00:53):
I thought you were married. And then Zach goes, sweet,
I don't have to buy him a gift.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
I know he's so wonderful.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
He's the kindness from his heart is overshadowed only by
the growth of hair from his face.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Zach, have you anything to say for yourself? You know,
I was cracking up, which we all know. But Zach
is really rich. I know you don't really.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
I think he hit the lottery years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
I'm not kidding. He's rich. I have a feeling, and
so you're probably gonna get something pretty nice.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
He just does this for fun.

Speaker 5 (01:27):
There's there's at least one, maybe two lawnmower inspections for free.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Wow, it's gonna you know what, if you will throw
as blade sharpening in there, you've got me for life.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
We'll talk. We'll talk there.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
Hey, you sharp blade. You can't beat that.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
You really can't.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
I'm so sad. I don't even sharpen him. I just
replace him. I literally will just buy a new blade.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
That we are to that point where, you know, don't
fix it, just buy another one. We're like that with
everything anymore.

Speaker 6 (01:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
But here's the thing. The blades are not really that expensive.
And I don't know what it even costs to have
it sharpened, but I bet you it's comparable to what
a new blade costs. Probably it might be a couple
of dollars cheaper, do you know, off the top of
your head, mister fix it lawn fix it guy, he's
not gonna have any of those any of those prices.
I wouldn't think.

Speaker 7 (02:16):
Oh it's like sharpen your blades or whatever.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Mm hm oh that's I just don't know what that
typically goes for. I want to say, it's you're you're
looking at one twenty Oh my.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Gosh, way the last multing bleed. I think I paid
twenty nine ninety five for something along those lines. Do
you want them to last?

Speaker 7 (02:35):
Not the sworts guarantee?

Speaker 1 (02:37):
What do you want to buy it.

Speaker 7 (02:39):
From a store and have him run out?

Speaker 8 (02:40):
And I'm telling you right here, right now, but everybody,
I said, every blade of grass will be displayed. It
will be wonderful, it'll beautiful, it'll be huge. What making
lawns great again? So the twenty nine to ninety five
you just quoted is for the sharpening.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Or vote for buying a multing blade like one?

Speaker 1 (02:59):
See, that's what I'm saying. How could you sharpen a
blade for much less than that if you're gonna make
a nickel off of it?

Speaker 3 (03:05):
Right?

Speaker 1 (03:05):
I mean, I get it that. It's probably a pretty
quick process to have it done, provided the person who's
doing the sharpening is you know, not backed up and
doesn't have a stack of them to get to, which
typically is not the case.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
You actually want to check them for fingers too, if
they're you know, if there's less than four.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Don't let them do it. They're they're a bad choice.
Go down the road.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
So take me through if you will, Because you were like, man,
this took a lot longer than I thought getting this
the marriage certificate. It's been a while, hasn't it.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, well, I mean that's the process of getting the
We just went down to get the paperwork, the license
and stuff today. And that is such Judge Mackey as
the Franklin County judge that does all this. Yeah, walking
into that office is like walking into nineteen fifty. The
furniture is even like old school chairs from you know,
you can see the Walton sitting in them.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
But that kind of if you're if I'm see I'm
envisioning what you're kind of describing as like an elephant
could sit down on whatever you're talking about. Giant.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
I walked up that you could hear the grain in
the wood. Go I ain't scared of you. I was like, okay,
and so and it's just it was. And they've got
these document these books of all these marriages in Franklin
County over the decades, and yeah, you know, I just
you know, looking at them as they're they're on the shelf,
theair as you're standing in the place, and uh, it
just I don't know, there was just something. It was magical.

(04:29):
It was very, very h There was something peaceful and
happy about that office today. And then I had to
go get some paperwork from another floor in the courthouse
and uh, I said, okay, I'm sorry I lost that,
but thanks for replacing it.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
What's the charge? He goes, no charge? Today?

Speaker 2 (04:42):
I'm like, what what twilight zone am I in? Where
everybody's being pleasant and everything? It was just freaky, especially
down there. Yeah, I mean, let's face it, they do.
They get a bad rap, you know, and that I mean,
think about all the idiots they deal with bad stuff
all you understand what I'm saying. Right, pleasant and then
it's like when you go into the B and V. Right.

(05:03):
We had to go to another court building and I said,
oh great, back out in that cold downtown wind again.
And the guy goes, nah, I go through the tunnel.
So did you know there's a tunnel between the courthouses downtown.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
I had no idea.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
It's like walking again through nineteen fifty. The steps in
the concrete and so whatever reminded me of my elementary
school back in nineteen seventy yeap, And.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Do they have the were they worn a little bit
where the feet understand stairs?

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (05:27):
The stairs, that's how the Capitol is the Capitol building, and.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Where people had walked on it over the decades and
so forth, And it's just fascinating. Nobody knew about it.
There was only like six people in that whole tunnel,
the whole walk and it gets you under Mound Street.
So you're walking from one courthouse to the other, going
under Mound Street without having to go out in the wind.
If you have to have just so pleasant.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
I loved it.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Like did you have to have some sort of paperwork
or id or some sort of to get through there?

Speaker 9 (05:54):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Yeah, that's just not for anybody.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
Well oh no, to get through the tunnel.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
No, that's what I meant. No, you're anybody can walk.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Anybody can walk through.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Oh I had no idea.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
It was.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
It's really odd. One share through the first security check.
You can go anywhere in there and nobody stopped you.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
So you went from one place to the other.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
And no, yeah, it was wonderful. It was wonderful.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
And then you know, I didn't get frustrated until I
was trying to drive back and get back over here
and trying to go on the air today.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
That's where I got little edgy.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, taking it what happened there?

Speaker 2 (06:23):
You were telling Ivy just just looks. I grew up, Combs.
I used to Columbus. I understand, Okay. People were driving
on the road, and hey, mud, I think you sure
snowflake aim for the god rail, Henry, and that's.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
The first thing.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
There's another snowflake.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
We'll hit that brake.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Son.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
We don't need double digits. I'm used to it. I'm
you in bad weather. The sun is out today, the
skies are blue. I saw two cartoon birds singing on
my way in. It's a beautiful day.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
And yet.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
The roads dry too.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yes, there's nothing wrong. I got a white hun day
in front of me. I'm trying to turn left now
that this intersection where I there's a green light and
there's a green arrow to turn left. Well, the green
light is on, not the green arrow, but there's no
one coming from the opposite direction.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
That means you're allowed to turn, you.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Moron, And I could have, seriously I turned five times
in my mind that we could have turned and they
sat there and waited for the red light, and then
the news cycle with a green arrow, we make the
left turn. Speed limits thirty five did not break ten.
I will oh my gosh. When they finally turned off
and got out of my way, I was so happy.

(07:31):
I'm like, Okay, well, what we're doing for Thursday show?
Because I was a little worried about getting here at
that point. It was yeah, just frustrating. It's such a
beautiful day. Drive like you got some sense.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Here is one of my and this one happens repeatedly
to me. But when you are driving down the road
and you see a car off in the you're coming
up on a car who can turn in front of you,
and then there might be i don't know, two car
links three car links between you and the car ahead
of you. But you're going let's say forty five or

(08:02):
fifty five, and the car that you're looking at on
the right said, oh, there's a space between those two.
I'm going to go ahead and turn, and then I'm
not going to go very fast. Ah yeah, So then
you're on right on top of them in no time.
All of a sudden, you literally are right on top
of them and then so now you're starting to see

(08:23):
red and it ain't from the brake lights. You're just
starting to see red because you go And I've talked
to Josephine about this too. She's a new driver, rel know,
she's eighteen. So I've said, listen, when you pull in
front of somebody, your job is to get up to
speed of whatever the posted speed limit is quickly. Quickly.
You do not just take your time and have people
basically ramming you coming up from behind. If you're going

(08:46):
to get into traffic like that, you got to get
up to speed that kind of a thing. So then
the other part of this is say you start to
go around them and then they decide to speed up.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Now they want to speed up, Yes, I shouldn't have
failed initial thing at my foot that made the cargo faster.
Why do they wait until yeah? Or or adding the
insult to injury there those who don't jump in front
of you ride on the passenger side rear quarter panel.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
Where you don't see them.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Why you came up on me at eighty miles an hour,
You get to the rear quarter and then you slow
down to match my speed? You dingle Berry, just pass
me or stay behind me one of the other.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Right, I can't the riding and the it's tell me
you don't really know how to drive without saying you
don't know how to drive, because when someone's riding in
your blind spot, clearly that is another one.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
And your friends always will go well, you know though
if they did that, add it be their fault. It
wouldn't be your fault. You wouldn't get the ticket.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
My chin is.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Now in the back of my skull. I don't care
whose fault it is.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
I'm not trying to die today.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Oh my gosh, man, there's bigger things to worry about.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
I got a Marion to get to get to get
to the window.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Time.

Speaker 9 (09:54):
Tell grand Paul Walton bring the band, Joe. I'm feeling
like the dance is coming home, so I said, Banjo.
If Dick from Dayton calls, do not let him.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Oh no, oh my.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Ban Joe's ready to go.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Oh yeah, you just put the bad signal, Like, why
would you say his.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
Name because he calls me all the time.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Oh I know he's Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
Now you're playing maman Joe and Dayton.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Now the first question is who's on?

Speaker 3 (10:21):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (10:23):
What come on? You're calling a talk radio station and
you're going, who's on? And what are you talking about?
What helpful?

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Get into the callers listen before calling.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
My favorite thing is what he goes who's on, and
it's it's it's the box slide. Guys.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
It'll be like box slide. It's not Elliott. No, Elliott's
on at seven in the morning.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
It's seven at night.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Right.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Uh oh, I just won't Joe.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Said for AM and PM.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Did you uh did you see the Browns lose last night?
Browns all uh in Denver? Yeah, it was a pick
six at the end to just crush the I was
just like, you got to be kidding.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Me, man, this is a Browns, Bengals, and Buckeyes have
all just created tears in the state of Ohio this week.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Yeah, it was a it was a loss to them,
and and now they're uh yeah, they're gonna be working
on a short week because they got to come to Pittsburgh, man,
and play my Steelers on Sunday. And I'm telling you
at uh at a one o'clock game on Sunday, I
like our chances against them. Now that Thursday night thing,
I'm not sure what's going on with the Steelers and

(11:29):
the Browns. Whenever it's Thursday night, it's bad.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
That's like the whole concept of Thursday night football. It
just doesn't feel right. It's like somebody else's underwear. It's
just it's not Monday night is for football, Sunday afternoons
or for football.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Right, Oh, let me grab ed ay, Ed, welcome to
the show.

Speaker 6 (11:44):
Hey, hey, I was those are call screeners a good thing?
I don't have one of them James Bond cars, They'll
be there'd be people all over the road.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
You'd be launching rockets up everybody's tailpipe. Would you do
you have?

Speaker 3 (11:56):
Do you have?

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Do you have the imaginary missile launcher button when your
steering wheel like I do. I've also got I've got
a button in the center of the wheel, so it push.
I pushed the button in the center of my wheel
and it sends out a wire that connects to the
back of the car in front of me and kills
their stereo, which I think is very practical.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
GM should start putting that on things.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
So, Ed, you said you drive like four hundred and
some What were you going to say about that? You
drive a lot? You truck driver?

Speaker 6 (12:26):
I just drive a half tut van, but four hundred
and seventy mile a night.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Oh wow, boy, you bo you've not had it with
the drivers. Then I would imagine, oh.

Speaker 6 (12:35):
Gee, some some nights, man, you just this is a
good thing I didn't have them, because they'd be blown
up cars everywhere.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
If I go through, well, if.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
I see one blown up on the side of the road,
I'll be like, well, it looks like ED was behind
them for a little while.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
I don't know if you are you are you doing
like medical transportation by Jans.

Speaker 6 (12:54):
No, it's car parks, okay.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Because the car parts makes sense too. But I'd be
like hanging out my window with you.

Speaker 9 (13:00):
Hey, hey, Kidney's on board, Marony the way.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yeah, I would just I'd be yelling like crazy if
I was transporting something important, right, There's no way I
can handle people.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
You know.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
It's bad at you. It's just me honestly.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
They'll edit you a little bit. Do you have like
catalytic converters. I mean, you have stuff that's that's expensive,
Like you've got a lot of money on board.

Speaker 6 (13:20):
I would think, well, semi radiators charge air coolers.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
I do.

Speaker 6 (13:25):
Some Cadillac converters Yeah, and I do some car park Yeah,
Katie cooling with the vehicle, gotcha.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Okay, that's big money for sure, Ed. Thanks man, appreciate it.
Hey Tim is in Sandusky. Tim, welcome to the show.

Speaker 10 (13:39):
Hey Mark, longtime th'll talk. I have one that drives
me up the wall. People, especially when they have a
fifty thousand dollars car and you're on like a two
to four hour road trip and they don't have a
cruise control, so you pass them. Fifteen minutes later they decide, hey,
I'm gonna dry as you go down to five unders
of speed limits that you gotta pass them again.

Speaker 11 (14:03):
Thirty minutes to.

Speaker 10 (14:03):
An hour, over and over again because they don't know
how to use cruise control. It drives me up the walk.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
That is that is Yeah, absolutely, Man headed down to Cincinnati.
I can't tell you how many times I've dealt with that. Tim.
It's just you just play. You just change positions the
whole way for an hour and a half. But I
know exactly what you're talking about.

Speaker 11 (14:20):
Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah, thanks Tim.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
The technology is there, it's ancient. We've had it for
a long time. You should know how to use it,
and especially on Yeah, a long road trip. You're seventy
seventy five miles an hour. You set it and forget
it like a Ronco product man. Yeah, and there's one
person who just keeps going back and forth in front
of you, behind you.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Why why that's one of those you're.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Wasting gas on top of everything else.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
I've never understood that. And I don't understand why when
you go buy a car that's on the side of
the road and there's nothing going on with it. It's
sitting there, it's dark, it's not even running, there's nobody
in it or whatever. But somehow, some way it has
slowed traffic down because people are going, oh, there's a
car right there, I gotta stop. I almost stop, I mean,
and it creates like you go, what why are you

(15:08):
slowing down?

Speaker 2 (15:08):
You have to wonder what happened?

Speaker 3 (15:10):
How fast were they going? What's that feather do for
a living?

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Don't worry? Just drive.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
That counts news, traffic, weather, sports, and the Mark Blazer
Show on.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Well, the Christmas Pickle tradition. What does your family do it?
What Christmas? What the Christmas? The Christmas pickle tradition. Let's
bring in Chief Meteorologist Marshall McPeak if anybody's.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
Going about holiday vegetation, it'll be Marshall.

Speaker 5 (15:39):
Yeah, we we we do it in reverse. Do tell
well we've got the pickle tree.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yes, yes you do, which is exactly why I positioned
the story right here, because I knew that you're a
big fan of the Christmas pickle type things.

Speaker 7 (15:56):
If I believe it's a German tradition, fill.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Me, I've never heard of a Christmas pickle.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
So you hide a pickle on the Christmas tree, and
the pickle ornament is buried in the tree somewhere, and
whoever finds it first gets an extra present or some
kind of prize. So in our case, we built a
tree that's all pickles with one red ornament. So if
you can find the red ornament, you get this case

(16:24):
a shot.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yes, Now the pickles hanging on your tree real, No,
they're glass. I was just messing around. I didn't think
you would actually put real ones on there. You're like, yeah,
depending on when you put those up, Yeah, they would be.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
If you spotted pickle ornaments in stores this holiday season
and you wondered, who on earth is decorating their tree
with a salty Deli snack, I'll I'll stop the article
right there and go it would be Marshall McPeak. I'll
just say that anyway. It goes on to say, this
article is for you, and it's a holiday tradition. For
there are a lot of families that do this. I

(17:03):
have never I was not privy to any of this
until you brought it up. And it's interesting. But it's fun,
you know, it's a it's a fun thing.

Speaker 5 (17:12):
So so there also is a version of it where
you put multiple pickles on the tree and each one
has a number on it, and so then you can, like,
if you have five kids, you put five pickles on
there and each each each kid gets a make sense,
gets a pickle.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Yes, I feel very out of touch. I consider myself.
You know, I know a little bit about a whole
lot of stuff, but not a lot about any one thing.

Speaker 4 (17:32):
Right, I never heard about Christmas pickles.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
See, don't feel that because I had. I had never
heard of that until Marshall kind of brought it to
the forefront here. So where was the article? Uh, it
was in part.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
Of Monthly, I believe it.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Right, it's a it's a it's you know prep services
that we used to Yeah, that kind of hunt and
gather and put a whole bunch of different type of stuff.
But then it goes on to it reads where the
tradition came from. It is a little bit of a mystery.
The Christmas pickle originally called wine and sterkin girk and gurky.
I can't pronounce it. It's a German word. So there
it is the German. Now, yeah, the German nuclear the

(18:09):
origin there, it suggests originated there. The modern Germans don't
follow this custom. Many pickle ornaments are made in Germany
and they are exported to other countries. Are your pickle
ornaments from Germany?

Speaker 4 (18:22):
Marshall? Oh?

Speaker 7 (18:23):
Who knows? They're from Amazon? So they could be from anywhere,
I gotcha.

Speaker 5 (18:27):
Yeah, they could be any place, probably China, because that's right.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
I mean, well, do you remember Woolworths every Oh yeah, okay.
Another theories that Woolworth's an old now defunction of five
and dime story, started importing the pickle ornaments in the
late eighteen hundreds and made up the story to help
boost their sales in the US. So the tradition now
popular in the Midwest, particularly in Michigan. There's a large

(18:52):
population of people of German descent in the Michigan area.
According to this article, so and western Ohio and Western Ohio.

Speaker 4 (18:58):
There doesn't remember wool words. By the way, you asked that, like.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Well, I depending on where you're from. I think there
are people that would be like, uh, what you know?

Speaker 7 (19:07):
Well, I think you have to be a shopper of
a certain age.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
That sill is the lobby.

Speaker 5 (19:12):
The last Woolworths I remember actually shopping in was in
uptown Athens, and it if I remember right when it
finally closed. It became the world's largest taco bell and
eventually became a theater.

Speaker 7 (19:27):
Was it the other way around?

Speaker 4 (19:29):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (19:29):
But yeah, about my first forty record in a wool
Wars actually, and what was Barry Manilow's weekend in New England?

Speaker 1 (19:37):
I don't know that song from Barry Marry.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Oh my gosh, Zach gets we need a physician.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Oh don't play that though, please wrong? Please?

Speaker 3 (19:46):
No?

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Really, that's like the Big Man really well, you did.

Speaker 7 (19:51):
It in concert when he was here last year.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
Copacabana is the one that I default to.

Speaker 7 (19:58):
Number.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
Yeah, oh so you went viously, Oh yeah, he still
got it, doesn't he?

Speaker 11 (20:02):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (20:02):
Man?

Speaker 5 (20:02):
The guy is what eighty eight hundred just just moving
around on a stage like a forty year old just
I mean, break it.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Moves well and he sings well. But I wish somebody
the same thing about Michael Jackson. Somebody was said, Barry,
that's enough, just grow over. Stop stop with the plastic surgery.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
He'll never aw I get it. He just does not
look right anymore.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
And it breaks my heart to see him like that
because he he was one of those guys kind of
like Meatloaf. He was not beautiful, but his talent outshined
a very vain world, and I loved that about him.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
He hit notes like he hit him thirty years ago.
I mean just he just was amazing on stage and
hit some of those you know, really powerful high notes
like it was nothing. So yeah, he's still got it
for sure. Interesting did I mention it's cold outside?

Speaker 1 (20:50):
It is cold. Absolutely, Maybe it's cold outside.

Speaker 5 (20:54):
Lots of clouds on the way back for tonight, it's
going to start getting windy twenty four for your overnight
load tonight forty.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
On Wednesday, the.

Speaker 5 (21:01):
Rain snow mix gets here in the evening and over
night hours turns into some snow. By early Thursday morning,
you might have some slick spots there Thursday's high only
twenty eight degrees, back to thirty two on Friday.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
All right, Marshall, thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
He is go on, Zach, No, it seems.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
I'm bad.

Speaker 12 (21:29):
Yeah, thoughts, I love my Berry.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
I M stuck there.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
Oh love my berry especially.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
He was told to sit down and shut up by
one of those critics up in New York. He was
a piano player for Bette Midler and and Bet let
him sing a song play me, and the critic at
the show said he really should just stay behind the
scenes and play piano.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Wow, he couldn't be more and yeah, wrong.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
I know.

Speaker 4 (22:03):
It's like, you know, there's a big flip off for you,
mister critic.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
You know what I you know, like when American Idol
first started, you know, and all that, I think there
were people who currently had deals and by currently I
meant at the time that record deals were and would
go in disguised and so yeah, you know what I'm saying.
And that's what that kind of reminds me of, Like
you would see these moron judges basically just take down

(22:29):
somebody who already was popular, sold records whatever. And I
an exact example escaped me right this second. But you
know what I'm talking about. I would have loved in
that situation for him to do something like that. But
you know, Barry being Barry and and and it reminds
me of that based on what this guy was saying, Yeah,

(22:52):
you should just stay behind the piano. Yeah, you couldn't
be more wrong, dude.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
I have never watched any of those shows. The Voice
America's got talent, any of those they but.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
American, like at the very beginning, ever watched I watched
it a little bit at the beginning, but it Yeah,
I really lost it.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
For being Stoddard and Clay again were like the only
names I will ever remember from that show.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
Yes, Star Search with Ed McMahon.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
I used to watch, but then it brought us Rosy o'donald,
so I probably should regret that. And then I like
watching the clips on Facebook of some of the judges stuff.
I was watching Tom Jones yesterday on The Boys. Dude,
he's eighty four. Tom Jones could still sell tickets to
a concert anytime. I can't believe he sounds that good. Amazing. Yeah,

(23:33):
I just that kind of stuff. I'm more interested in
seeing those old people doing their thing and still doing
it really well than half the people that you know, Oh,
no question the stage.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah, no question about that. They still especially because you
wonder that's too tough on them at that age to
try to tour. It's just really hard on people when
they tour. I can't so doing as is. Everyone come
to my house. I'll sing on the Vegas or yeah yeah,
or Biloxi. You know, you set up shop somewhere and
then you have people come and see you. And that's

(24:04):
the way to do it, which I think a lot
of them actually do.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
And when they still can perform that way, that's great.
I told you I went to October thirteenth of twenty
twenty one or twenty nineteen. Ever, get to what is
Phil Collins when he only did seventeen dates in the
United States and Columbus, Ohio was one of them. And
he sounded okay, but he did not have but he
was sitting he didn't have the strength in his voice,
and he sat the entire show. Ye and that Yeah,

(24:29):
I kind of don't want to remember him like that.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
That's from drumming, you know. That's it wasn't like he
got hurt. It's just his his back is goofy from
drumming all those years.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
And he's an odd bird anyway, and I think he's
missing some teeth and he you know, he's just They
say he lives kind of hermitized.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
He doesn't go.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
Out a talented guy, be extravagant or but go get
some dentures. For goodness, they do something you think he
could afford him. Yeah, this point, I'm rich enough. I
can sing with your mouth. Yeah, you know that would
be awesome.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Hey, Ohio is among the un happiest states in the country,
and they yeah, walle at Hub does this thing. I
think it's basically yearly. And so they examined all fifty
states here in the US thirty key metrics, and they
determine which states have the happiest unhappiest, you know, residence
that includes depression, suicide, and unemployment rates all work into this,

(25:21):
as well as the percentage of people who report career satisfaction,
good physical health, and social well being. So when it
comes to the unhappiest states, we ranked out of fifty
number eleven. We stayed out of the top ten, but
we ranked number eleven. I think, and I wonder sometimes

(25:43):
I was never treated for it. But I wonder if
I had seasonal depression at one point, which is easy
to slip into in the state of Ohio, because there
are a lot of people that say, oh no, we
have a lot of gray days here in the state
of Ohio. And I feel like at one point, maybe
when I was a little young, I was like, man,
am I suffering from that? I feel like when it

(26:03):
starts getting gray and it's cold, and we go through
I mean, think about it, we don't actually go full
all full winter where it's you know, it looks like
buffalo for several months. You know, it's not we could
have in the in the middle of January, it's this drizzly,
nasty thirty five and thirty four with windy conditions and gray,

(26:24):
and it's gross. And I feel like that could partly contribute.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
To sucks to life out of you. Really, I'm a
very positive person, but I'm the same way. They consistent
days a number of days in a row like that
if Incios oh Man not again, right, it's hard to
come out of that sometimes.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Please Sunshine, Please. The least happy estate was Louisiana then
there and I'm going what I'm.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Pat and Rouge, New Orleans.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Really, I don't understand that either. Then Arkansas is right
after them, West Virginia, Tennessee, New Mexico, Alaska. I understand.
How is Alaska not in the top ten.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
Don't you know?

Speaker 6 (27:02):
See?

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Now, Alaska, I might be able to put up with
the cold weather moral because it's open, man, It's just
it's God's country.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
It's hey a moose. You know I could, I could
deal with that.

Speaker 6 (27:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
The daylight for twenty four hours is something that's not.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
That's you know, I mean there's a price to be paid.
Where's that place down by Norway where they get the
six months of darkness and the daylight for six months? Yeah?
I would almost be cool with that. Ooh, I you know,
it's because it's part of the charm of the area.
It's not like I'm being beaten down by saying, oh,
here's some bad weather to kill you.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
It's just a na true to beast. It's you know,
dark a long time.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
You think you could live? Yeah, ooh, I don't think
I could. I need the darkness when I go to sleep,
I just need it, I think. I mean, you know,
sleeping during the day is not the same effect.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
You give me a good cheeseburger. I can sleep in
a super nova. I don't need darkness full belly. I'm
ready to see the Mark Blazer show.

Speaker 6 (28:12):
Man.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Some really really good stuff I was reading earlier today
on socials. Never again do I want to hear Trump's
a liar. You can't believe anything he says. Trump will
abuse his power. Trump will only use the system to
benefit himself his family. Never ever again do I want

(28:33):
to hear this? Why did Hunter need an eleven year
blanket pardon? Going back to twenty fourteen when Joe Biden
was vice president, We're sitting on the biggest cover up
of who knows what crimes and Joe Biden amazingly knows
exactly roughly when it happened. Biden's leaving office. He's making
the strongest possible case for Trump. Our government, our justice

(28:54):
system is of buy and for the elites and nobody else.
That's a great post. You guys can spend all day
long trying to spend this but that it's Donald Trump's fault,
because that seems like the narrative that is kind of
rising from the ashes. Now it's Donald Trump's fault that
because politically Hunter was targeted. Are you freaking kidding me?

(29:19):
That is really what That's all you got. That's what
the mainstream media is trying to do now. These people
are liars. Inflation is transitory. Afghanistan it's a success. The
border secure videos are cheap fakes. Biden has a cold.
He'll never drop out, and oh, I'll never pardon Hunter.

(29:40):
I mean, good lord. We could keep going on and
on and on about all of that stuff. Some really
good stuff posted there.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
I told you yesterday this is going to cost them
in the long run. The ground level, common, ordinary, everyday
people are figuring out the BS factor is very high
and they're sick of getting lied to.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
Yep, his name is Mark Weaver form your former Deputy
ag General of Ohio, Attorney General of Ohio, Forward DOJ
spokesman Republican strategists. He penned on op ed in Newsweek
about this very thing, and man, it's really really good. Mark.
Welcome to the Mark Blazer Show for the first time.

(30:16):
How are you, brother, Good to talk to you.

Speaker 11 (30:19):
I give you my word as a Biden that everything
Joe Biden said was true.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Oh man, your article is really really good, and gosh,
what are your I mean this. I love it. Biden
pardoning Hunter proves that being a Biden is a get
out of jail free card, and that basically, and look,
I feel like, is this just the beginning. There's all
kinds of different ways I suppose to start slicing this up.

(30:45):
But Mark, tell me your thoughts when you first heard this,
or you know, like the rest of America, what I
think it was Sunday night when it all started.

Speaker 11 (30:54):
Well, I'll clean it up for drivetime radio, but my
first thought was what Joe Biden said on a hot
mic a few years ago. Nobody f's with a Biden,
except he wasn't quite as clean about that. He was
going to do whatever he has to to preserve his family.
And as I write in the op ed, the Constitution
allows him to pardon Hunter. I have no quarrel with that,

(31:16):
but I think we should see the bigger picture. In
the op ed, I point out that one of the founders,
George Mason the Virginia, a friend of George Washington and
anti federalist, in the debate over the pardon clause at
the convention, he said, and I'm using a twenty first
century language here, Hey, guys, what if we give the

(31:37):
president a pardon and he uses it to pardon somebody
who has the goods on the president, and that would
be like a big cover up, and it would allow
the president to cover his tracks for his own crime. Again,
that's my words, not his, But he raised that precise concern,
and he should have had a side job as a soothsayer,
because that's exactly what happened here. By saying that Hunter's

(32:02):
trial won't go forward on tax charges, that means there
won't be testimony about whether or not foreign money went
through Hunter.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
To Joe Biden O, man, yeah, this is when you start.
Given the exactness by the way mark of this sweeping pardon,
this indicates that he knows exactly when the illegal activity
began or when it took place in all of those things.
I mean, the exactness of this going back to what

(32:35):
twenty fourteen, that's the thing that is the most telling.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
You know.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
I was saying this when we went on the air yesterday,
first time we were able to talk about it clearly
since I'm not on on Sundays, But I said, you know,
the thing that I have the biggest problem with here
is the fact that we heard nobody is above the law.
I see Nancy Pelosi's stupid face saying that I see
all of these different people in this administration the crime

(32:59):
sit to get all talking about nobody's about the law.
No one's above the law. And it turns out that
you know, if your last name is Biden, you are
above the law. And I don't know who else we're
gonna do. You have any speculations on who else We're
going to see some sort of a pardon from from
this president.

Speaker 11 (33:16):
Probably Joe's brother, who is very involved in this, and
any other family members. They've got the Biden privilege, which
is a real thing, and I expect we'll see more pardons.
With respect to what the dates were. You could almost
imagine Hunter in the Oval office guiding his father's hands
as he writes out the dates he want to be

(33:36):
typed into. Hey, Dad, here's some dates. How about this date?
This might work? And Joe's going, whatever you want, Hunter,
You're the smartest person I've ever met, which is of
course another quote from Joe Biden. And now again, constitutionally,
the president can do it. I've got no quarrel with
it legally. I just think it sends a horrible message
for those of us, the three of us on the

(33:57):
line now and all your listeners, most of us. I've
had to fill out that gun form with trepidation, making
sure we're checking the box is exactly correct, because we
don't want to violate federal law. From now on, people
doing that to themselves will be saying, well, Hunter Biden
got to pass on this. I wonder if I will.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
You know, I fully expect Mark. The next in line
to get a pardon is going to be Joe Biden.
The Supreme Courts already ruled on the presidential immunity, which
they hate giving to Donald Trump, but they know they
have no choice that will protect Joe Biden once Hunter
throws him under the bus realizing he's old and no
longer President. Jill is a master manipulator and is everything

(34:36):
on the evil side of the fence that Nancy Reagan
was ever accused of being on the positive side.

Speaker 11 (34:42):
You called it. I think that's a fair fair guess.
Here's something else, So though, here's a liitle of silver
lining for you, because Hunter Biden has been pardoned. If
he has called up the Capitol Hill to an investigative
committee and asked to testify about what did you know
and who knew what? He can't plead the Fifth Amendment?
Could you only plead the Fifth Amendment when you're at
risk of prosecution? So he'll have to answer, which might

(35:06):
be interesting. Or if he refuses to answer, that's contempt
of Congress. And I imagine the Trump Justice Department, unlike
the Biden Justice Department, will advance a criminal case of
contempt of Congress if Hunter would refuse to testify.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
So we're talking to Mark Weaver, former Deputy ag of Ohio,
former DJ spokesman Republican strategists. He penned on op ed
and Newsweek about this very thing. Do you really think,
I feel like once Trump takes office and you know,
I don't know. I mean, do you really think they're

(35:41):
going to continue down this road after Hunter, especially given
the way that this is all playing out and A
and B. I guess the other question is any of
the state stuff is not included in this correct, it's
just federal charges.

Speaker 11 (35:56):
That's exactly right. The president can only pardon for federal
offenses ortential federal offenses. So now whether or not the
state district attorneys in the states where Hunter Biden was
running around carrying a gun illegally, or doing drugs, or
cutting tax deals, or practicing law without the appropriate legal ethics.

(36:16):
All of the authorities in those states still have the
ability to bring charges. But Hunter did most of his
deeds in blue states, perhaps by choice or maybe by accident,
and so it's unlikely you'll see some of those blue
state prosecutors holding Hunter accountable with state law.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
Yeah, that's the thing that I wondered if he's even
going to continue down this road, because, let's face it,
especially given what he's now demanded with Hamas saying you
better really, you know, there's going to be hell to
pay all of that stuff. Kind of the headlines if
you will, from today, and it seems like daily we're
getting some big headlines and the types of things that
they've got to get going to get this country back

(36:54):
on track. I don't know that might my guess would
be there that might be happening the kind of almost
if you will, in the background. I don't think it's
going to take front and center, do you or do
you think it will take front and center?

Speaker 11 (37:07):
You know, Donald Trump famously in twenty sixteen said lock
her up, but then he showed grace and restraint and
left Hillary Clinton alone. During his term, I imagine he
will try to unite the country, which is something that
this pardon did not. The point I made in the
op ed that other presidential pardons over the years have
been a uniting force. This is a divisive force. But

(37:29):
I'd like to think that the second term Trump will
pay more attention to the better angels of this nature
to use Abraham Lincoln quote and seek to unite us.
So that's what I'm looking toward.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
Mark, do you think he's got a better chance of
uniting Americans by actually draining the swamp, by actually going out,
Not uniting Democrats and Republicans, I don't care about that.
I'm talking about uniting Americans who who are standing up again.
This election is a result of people realizing they have
been lied to, manipulated, told one thing when they obviously
see another. Chicago is turning on there insane mayor right now.

(38:03):
New York City's at mayor is actually saying, you know,
maybe will help the Trump administration with the immigration thing.
They know those blue states that might protect Hunter, they
know that they're about the fold as well. I really
think a little vengeance's mind say that the rest of
the country might be good for uniting us.

Speaker 11 (38:19):
Yeah, I think we're living I think that's a fair point.
We live in disruptive times and it's hard to recognize
it when we're right in the middle of it. But
the American people were angry. Let's recall in twenty twenty two,
Donald Trump's star was on the decline and Ronda Santis's
was on the ride. What fueled the comeback? There's only

(38:40):
one logical answer. The law there both in civil and
criminal courts in Florida, d C. New York, and Georgia.
That's so angered most common sense minded Americans that they
took another look at Donald Trump, and that's when he
started his historic climb back to the presidency. And so

(39:01):
disruption is going to be the order of the day,
and I think you're right. A lot of people will
be sharing him on We love the FBI, except when
it's out of control. It needs to be brought back
into control. Federal prosecutors, who I worked with at the
Justice Department, are typically good people except when they're out
of control. So the order of the day has to
be to bring things back to we're doing things by

(39:23):
the book. And it doesn't matter whether you're Red Jersey
or Blue Jersey. If you broke the law, we're going
to prosecute, and if you didn't, we're going to leave
you alone.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
So I think also too, Mark, that Elon buying Twitter
was an enormous turning point with regard to America really
kind of you know, getting the information if you will,
not being shadow banned, all of that. I think I
think that there were people that overall were starting to
see the truth, but I feel like that almost kind

(39:51):
of accelerated it and then elevated it. I think that
is a is a was a huge turning point. And
then also another do you think that does this really
open up the j six purpse for being pardoned?

Speaker 4 (40:05):
Now?

Speaker 1 (40:05):
I mean, people you keep reading, well, he's setting a
bad president as a bad president and all of that,
But it does something like that really actually get on
the table.

Speaker 11 (40:15):
Now, I think it will. If Trump is prudent, he
will look at people. Maybe you punched a police officer
in the face and said, you know what, let's leave
your sentence intact. But people who walked through open doors
and wandered around like tourists who got jail sentences are
likely candidates for pardon, and so I think Donald Trump
will use the pardon power, which he's entitled to do,

(40:37):
but I'd like to think he'll do it in a
more uniting way that we've seen with this president covering
his family members and essentially covering himself.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
Yeah, very good, Mark Weaver, former Deputy ag of Ohio,
former DOJ spokesman, Republican strategists, and check out his article
in Newsweek the op ed that he penned. It's very good,
and Mark, I really appreciate you jumping on. I had
no idea you and Chuck are buddies and acquaintances, if
you will, so I he was telling me earlier, and.

Speaker 4 (41:07):
If I'd say buddies, I don't really like him much.

Speaker 11 (41:09):
He's a good one, that Chuck. We're lucky to have him.
Always could to hear that voice, that's that unmistakable voice
of Chuck.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
Yeah, he does have the unmistakable voice that you speak of.
As a matter of fact, somebody who was getting ready
to do a medical procedure, an embarrassing medical procedure, recognized
his voice right before wonderful, before it was actually happening.

Speaker 9 (41:31):
I'm about to insert this hose, Hey, hit you check great, wonderful.

Speaker 11 (41:35):
It's hard to be famous.

Speaker 4 (41:37):
Sometimes it's a little rough.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
Yeah, Mark, Mark Weavers, thanks for jumping on with us today.
Appreciate you man.

Speaker 11 (41:43):
Great to be with you.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
All right, Well see you.

Speaker 4 (41:45):
I'm so proud of him.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
That's that's nice exposure that that dopa is a nice
exposure for him.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
It is in Newsweek. I can't believe Newsweek published it because.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
It's not flattering for for the last Newsweek doesn't know
what they are from one week of the next anyway,
that's a fact. Yeah, he's very bright and he's uh,
he knows what he's talking about. So I was very
glad that he got that exposure news Week. Hopefully it'll
enlighten a few people around the country.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
Yeah, that'd be good. And the Mark Blazer Show on sixteen. Yet, well,
I don't know that it's a time to be thinking
about dairy queen. And there they're treats that they offer
as you know, it's like one outside. It seems like
when the wind blows, but there are some festive holiday treats.

(42:31):
Marshall McPeek, Chief Meteorologist Marshall McPeak is joining us. When
is it not time to think about ice cream. Okay, well, okay,
there are people that go, my.

Speaker 4 (42:39):
Gosh, i'm so cold.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
Say that.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
I knew he would say, Oh yeah, well.

Speaker 5 (42:43):
I'm a look like I have ever passed up a
bowl of ice cream.

Speaker 1 (42:48):
I mean, seriously, No, I'm with you, Marshall. I one,
it's not I'm not that person. There are people who
are going, well, that's out of season. Why would you
be Are you that person?

Speaker 4 (42:57):
That person?

Speaker 1 (42:58):
Oh, chuck's that person.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Okay, beer only tastes good to me in the summer time. Oh,
you will not see me drinking beer when it's cold.
You will not see me eating ice cream when it's
ice cream. Okay, yeah, I'm just I could have a
year round, certain seasons for certain things.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
Well, they have two festive I'm with you, Marshall. I'm
in your in your in your camp here, but they're
in your pickle tree. There there are two seasons. There
are two festive holiday trees they're bringing back. Let's see,
it's the peppermint hot Cocoa Blizzard and the DQ the
DQ frozen hot chocolate. And I've never had the frozen

(43:34):
hot chocolate. I don't I don't know what that's about.
Other than that sounds like a frosty. It could be
it could be something, you know, it could be something
like that. They they describe the blizzard as a peppermint

is substantial and yeah, they just think remind me of
the old burger king I used to.

Don't sleep on that dog, don't sleep on it. The

right now.

Speaker 5 (45:12):
There's there's a place over here on Doublin are called

Speaker 1 (45:16):
Oh yeah, there it is my zack.

Speaker 3 (45:25):
I possible.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
If their lyrics are gonna be so bad, could they
at least get someone who can sing?

Speaker 4 (45:35):
Is it is it that hard?

Speaker 1 (45:36):
You just speak the lyrics?

Speaker 7 (45:38):
Or like the blood is running down my ears?

Speaker 2 (45:42):
During college football, this weekend commercial comes on.

Speaker 3 (45:45):
It was like.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Burger Burger, Burger, Burger, Burger, Burger, and like that's it,
that's all the words that bad lyrics and sung badly.
You're gonna sell me stuff that way?

Speaker 5 (45:57):
And in the door I go for a twenty four
overnight Tonight, it's gonna get kind of windy, so your
wind chills Tomorrow morning likely to be in the teens
or even colder. Wednesday, we're dry for most of the day,
but some rain snow mixed in the evening turns into
snow showers. Wednesday night might get a little of that
to stick, especially on grass, and maybe on some elevated surfaces,

(46:19):
so bridges and overpasses. Again, gonna be a little slick
on Thursday morning. Thursday's high only twenty eight.

Speaker 1 (46:26):
All right, marshall, thank you. It is thirty two right now.

Speaker 4 (46:32):
I think it's gonna warm out before Christmas.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
I my gut just tells me we're gonna get a
little more nice weather before Christmas.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
And I hope you're wrong.

Speaker 4 (46:40):
I think it is.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
You like a white Christmas? Oh yes, I do, yeah,
because I feel like when we and it feels like,
oh man, it's been like ten years since, and I
know it hasn't been that long. It's just because we
don't have them year after year.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
We have too much momentum going right now toward a
white Christmas, a typical white Christmas that I feel it's
going to get interrupted and scarce.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
So so I thought something interesting. I was watching Good
Day Columbus the other morning and Andrew buck Michael was
talking about this cold air that's being ushered in now
and he said, look, it's going to be around for
a little while. But what this does is sets the
table to make the ground, the roads, everything much colder

(47:24):
as we get closer to Christmas, so we have a
better chance if we do have the snow, it will
stay around and possibly lead to a white Christmas. Makes
sense now I'm adding a little bit of what so
that was the gist of what he basically was saying,
saying that, you know, the cold air is going to
do all of the and it starts to because right
now the ground still is too warm. You're seeing if

(47:45):
we get anything decent, it's just on the grass.

Speaker 2 (47:48):
Or just on the mault, or you know whatever. So
and you gotta trust him. He wore a bright red
suit the other day. I saw that. That's his buckeye.
He does that for the Buckeyes. Oh is that what
it was? I think that's a sand a tributor or something.
Is a great just a blaring ready. It looked good.
I love seeing good color on guys. Because usually our
stuff is brown, blue and gray. Correct, So when I

(48:09):
see something bright and colorful, for man, I'm impressed.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
Yeah he We'll double check with Marshall next hour, but
I'm pretty sure that's his He wears that on Fridays
and the Buckeyes are playing on Saturday. I'm pretty sure
that's what that is, you know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (48:23):
I like it?

Speaker 1 (48:23):
Yeah? Yeah, man. Uh. Now, you don't fly a lot.
You're not on a.

Speaker 4 (48:31):
Plane very much. No, but a couple of times in
my life.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
When you think about what's getting ready to happen to
the airport, how do you feel about that? I mean,
you know, it's a two billion dollar terminal according to
the statement from the airport, and that's coming they're going
to redo. I am incredibly excited about it because I
feel like it's lackluster, and you know, you go some

(48:54):
of the other bigger airports around the US and ours
is like.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
Yeah, I don't have any problem with the spending this
money to update it, modernize it, and all that kind
of stuff. I just wish that in central Ohio overall,
whether we're talking about the city, the county, or the state,
that the vision would be bigger than what I see.
You want a beautiful airport, let's do it. But don't
let Stellzer Road look like Sandford and Son's front yard. Okay,

(49:22):
you want to build this beautiful interchange going into downtown,
that west split is going to be magnificent. Homeless people
camped under tarps along the river to overlook as you're
coming in on that new bridge. It is not the
impression you want to make. So do it. But let's
let's look bigger. Let's fix what's around it as well,
and try to spread that out so people visiting the
city get a good impression.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
That's a great point with regardless Steltzer Road. I don't know,
I don't know what you do there. I mean you
think about there's some businesses along there. I don't huh,
how do you remedy that? Sorry, I'm laughing because I'm thinking, Man,
if you're over in that area, say you do have
a business, yeah, in that area within proximity to kind

(50:04):
of what. But that's a fantastic point. You're right, you're
coming through right now. There's some cool like the road
going into the into the airport. There's like this cool
like blue neon and you know, going when it's dark.
It just looks really cool. And then you know, but
what you just drove through was like depending on where

(50:24):
you're at, it's like, are we gonna make it? Like
I don't hope, we don't have to stop anywhere, Like
just keep going.

Speaker 4 (50:30):
I picked I picked somebody up from a uh I.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
It was the eight thirty flight or something like that,
and it was dark, and I got the bluue neon
effect going in and it reminded me of when the
Colonial Vipers used to take off in Battlestar Galactica. I
just felt like I was going I was going out
to face the Silons. It was a very cool effect
and nick cool. But then you know, we lose the
McDonald's Like, okay again, you get off a plane. You

(50:53):
didn't need airline fluid, you were flying coach whatever, having
some eateries right there around McDonald's a ninety fourth aero squadron.
Both go on, let's let's find a commercial area. Let's
have places for people to sit down and eat when
they arrive in our city.

Speaker 1 (51:06):
It's a great point.

Speaker 4 (51:06):
It's just practical stuff, nothing extravagant.

Speaker 1 (51:09):
Here's the other thing. There are there are a lot
of restaurants like say, you do get off the flight
and you're walking through, but in in our airport, everything
is closed, just like they roll up like after six o'clock.

Speaker 4 (51:24):
It's modeled after downtown Columbus.

Speaker 1 (51:26):
I hate it.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
I went to see a share at the Palace.

Speaker 4 (51:30):
Where'd you go afterwards? Another city?

Speaker 2 (51:32):
Because there's you know, there's nothing to do, yes, and
I think subway maybe open till ten, But that's about it, right.

Speaker 4 (51:41):
It's kind of sad.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
You just spend a couple of hundred bucks seeing a
show and you can't go sit down and have a
drink or two.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
Well, the Blue lot, the Blue shuttle lot is now
they're closing it as a matter of fact, beginning December ninth.
They're closing it because they're starting to prepare for the
construction for this whole thing. So the Blue will be
closed and the Red shuttle lot is going to receive
a two thousan five hundred and fifty vehicle expansion at

(52:09):
the same time to allow for additional parkers. Now, I
always park you know the connecting that it's connected to
the actual airport, the garage there. It is really expensive,
but I do that because I'm trying to avoid, you know,
landing and coming to my vehicle going my car doesn't
have any windows, and I know I didn't leave them

(52:30):
down when I let you know, people break in. There's
so I never had that happen to me, But I
do you read about that kind of stuff. I feel
like you have less of a chance of that happening
when you're parking in the garages that you know that
is attached. But it's much more expensive and you don't
have to mess with, you know, getting on a shuttle
or any of that stuff too, because you kind of

(52:51):
wait until it comes around because you can't just you know,
text somebody or go okay, come pick me up or whatever.
With the show, it's just on, you know, it just rotates.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
I haven't seen any kind of footprint or blueprint for
a footprint of the new device, but I have to
assume the blue lot is that's got to be a
proximity issue. If they're going to add twenty five hundred
to the red lot, it's got to be not the
number of cars, but where the blue lot is located.

Speaker 4 (53:15):
Correct, something new is going in there.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
That's well, it's part of the construction for this two
billion terminal but you're right, I don't know that they're
going to replace it with garage or I don't know.
I can't in my mind picture exactly how they're going
to lay it out.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
Underground parking makes perfect sense to me. I don't know
why we do. Don't do that more instead of having
garages going up? Yeah, I don't they're not attractive. Go
park underground like under the State House. You know, somebody
was very bright back when they put that together. In
downtown Columbus, parking garage is going up or that's not
attractive to me. Yes, underground is very very practical. It's

(53:52):
it's pleasing to the eye because you don't have to
look at it. And in crappy weather, you know, parking
underground is a lot better than parking in an open
up garage where sh is coming through there.

Speaker 4 (54:03):
Yeah, so that's where I do it.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
Yeah, absolutely, So this is supposed to be The construction
is set to begin early next year for the airport
and then a goal of opening it by twenty twenty nine,
So it should be taking around four four and a
half years. We'll see if they can stay on stay
on schedule for that.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
Good luck with that, right, Effrenio had personal aircraft in
four and a half years.

Speaker 4 (54:27):
We won't need an airport anymore. That's a great point.
