Speaker 1 (00:00):
State.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
It's the Mark Bleazer Show.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
A two one wtv N one eight hundred six WTVN.
It is, uh, well, this is it's been referred to
as hump Day, I guess because it's in the middle
of the week.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
So they look at me like that when you say,
get clean out of your eyes when you say hump day.
Don't you stare at me like that? So you don't
know me that well, you better stop that.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Man.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
First of all, I do know you that well. You
and I are been drinking, so it's okay, it's we
know thirty what we thirty six thirty seven years somewhere
rend yeah, and so yeah, but not well enough to
be looking at you like that.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
It was nineteen eighty nine, if I'm not mistaken when
we met.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
I as far as the year, see, I'm terrible. I
can't remember what I had for dinner, so I'm bad
at going back. I just the only reason I can
base it on there is the amount of time I've
been in radio. So I clearly just before that is
when I met you, and then here we are. The

(01:27):
trajectory has taken a while, but here we are on
the same airwaves at the same time.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, yeah, the good old days. We had these New
York City not really.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
We had these grandiose ideas of how we were gonna,
you know, do this and do that. But some of
it's been achieved, right, I mean, for me it has,
you know that almost.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
The fact that all these years later we're both able
to sit in front of a microphone and you know,
getting paid for it doesn't suck. But it's nice just
to be able to do it when it's in your
blood like this. It's it's really cool that, you know,
considering what the industry's gone through over the years, you
and I are two of the people still doing what
we do in this building. It's a great thing.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
I went part I went part time for a while,
and and UH was like going, Okay, I don't I
don't know that I'm going to do this anymore.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
You know, you can't remember what they told us when
we were starting. We were in school. Earl Wisdom as
I call it.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Oh yeah, Earl Bailey.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Chuck, I don't care if you get an offer from
an all Polka station. Is that Dracula or Earl Kids?
That was Earl's advice man or Yeah. The Bailey broadcast academy. Right,
he said, you when you're looking for that first job,
it doesn't matter what it is, you you go get it.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
I remember also that he was somehow entangled, intertwined whatever
connected to the fledgling Fox twenty eight E Bailey twenty
eight Express, that's it, twenty eight Express. And the studios
were over there off of Sunbury Road tooth and one
sixty one and Sunbury Road there. Did you really?

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yes, I was. I ran a teleprompter floor director.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Right. It was right by scoreboard.

Speaker 5 (03:13):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
The and then across the street is the Kroger where
the Blending township officer that whole thing, that's the Kroger
that all that took place at. Anyway, Uh, I didn't
realize that you interned there. Yep, you must have been
an Earl Bailey pet. Then he must have liked you
kind of because he didn't he didn't say anything to
me about it.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Well, see that I had been doing you know, the
the turntables and stuff for a long time before I
got there, so personality using a microphone, and so it
was just kind of in me to begin with. And
he actually, who goes, there's really not much we can
teach you here.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
That's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Then, yeah, that was nice. Then we had one of
the teachers, so we both got our first jobs and
you got on FM and I started on AM, so
you know you had it going on too.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
I still have your first air check somewhere. I think
the from the oh yeah from Yeah, your voice was
so high backed there was it?

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Really?

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yes, well you were hyped up. Man, you were a
youngster and you know, playing the old hits and having fun.
So yeah, you were you're well it was a little higher.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Well, the whole thing with doing oldies. When I first
started out, I remember thinking to myself, you know, my
parents were really happy about that because that was their music.
That that's the due Lang, dude Lang, not classic rock.
That was oldies, like you know, he's so fun. Yeah,
they liked that sixties and yeah, and and to do that.
Starting out, I was just like, what am I doing?

(04:43):
That's what I kept thinking to myself, what am I do?
But I just went with it here I am.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
I would still seriously, as much as I love talk,
I would still do music if there was if we
had stations like that still around. But I mean musically
stations are so uh. I don't know, so similar anymore.
That plus the people who were into oldies. You know,
if you're in the fifties, duop in sixties and so forth,
the chances are you're you're probably not even able to

(05:09):
find your radio these days, right, And that's they're obviously
going to go for where there's an audience.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Also, the other part, dude, about the you know, as
far as music goes and all of that, Now, there
there is a lot of the same, similar sounding and
you know, with Spotify and all the different ways to
absorb music, you better do something kind of interesting in between,
or something to set yourself apart. Is kind of the like,
my whole my whole thought on that is.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
This Tony, Yeah, say, thanks for taking a call, Yes sir,
you guys talking about Earl Bailey. It makes me laugh.
My brother Dick was in radio and he followed Earl's
advice take the first job, this soppigtunity. He went to
Dollph Mountain and worked at a little AM station called
wt OH at the top of Ohio. Yeah, and not
only did he DJ, but he also had to sell advertisements.

(05:57):
Oh yeah, help supplement you guys, because you guys are
in a great position your WTV is a great station.
You guys do good work. You're talking Earl. My brother
Dick spoke of Earl very highly on many different occasions,
so he apparently touched many disc jockey's life his career.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
So good job, thanks, Tony. Earl's a good dude.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
I just drove by the old building a couple of
days ago, the old Fox twenty eight, No, the the
old school. Oh remember where we started before they moved.
It was like we were at the house on Cleveland, Yeah,
near the UDF, and I went by there. It's all
boarded up. I mean the buildings still there. Well sure, yeah.
I just thought, man, I stood on that front porch
and smoked many a cigarettes. Oh yeah, that was those

(06:42):
were the days I've been You got me all reminiscy now.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
I know. It's a uh yeah when you when you
think about the type of people that went to I mean,
I don't know anybody else who's really even.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Doing anything that went through there. Paul's Paul's working for
an iHeart station in Marion.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
But he's been he was at it, you know, he's
been at it longer than us, right, I mean he
was doing it then.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
So yeah, and the thing of it is working in
a small town like that one of the cool things.
Paul's like, Hey, I'm selling my van. If you want
to come by the house, here's my you know, he's
in Marrion, right, and the people in town all know him,
and he didn't go to the gas station and people know.
It's just it's that would be kind of my retirement, honestly,

(07:29):
I don't ever want to be done, but I would
love to, you know, in my golden years, maybe find
a small town station somewhere and just just you know,
go in do something like that. Find Mayberry with a tower.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Paul docksed himself.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, he does it all the time.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
That is hilarious.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
You're selling an air conditioner. This summer he got a
new air condition Hey, if anybody wants this air conditioner,
come on by the house.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Pickaure.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
He does that all the time.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
It's beautiful, man, it is.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
It's wonderful.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
So if you have do you have inflatable A lot
of inflatables in your neighborhood the Santa's Santa's.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Oh those things.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yes, that's frosty, yes, frosty. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
I'm not a fan of the big ones though. Yeah.
There are some of my neighbors have the you know,
the big twelve foot Santas or whatever.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
In the morning. In the morning, they're they're deflated. They're
laying there a pile of douke. It's just they have
I guess they have their own like supply, you know,
to keep them inflated.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
Right.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah, there's like a hair dryer thing on the background.
It but blues and you know, keeps going all night
to keep them going.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
It started making me think. Just had on a side
note with with Paul, like doing that come on by
the house. He's like, I'll be the one with that,
you know, the crazy thing that whips around like at
a car lot. Like, I'll put it out front so
you know exactly where I'm at. In addition to giving
people the so we have a high wind ice snow
forecasted for Columbus. Oh and so if you up. The

(09:00):
reason I ask about the inflatables is like you might.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
They are also deflatable.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
They take them down or at least deflate them. They
say those things are going to lift off. How many
times have you seen one roll by like a you know,
like tumble weed, you.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Know, and on the west side, you never know if
it's an inflatable or like a bum you know, it
could be just some guy that was hanging out the
corner and the wind caught him. He's rolling by the
house going can I get a dollar and go? Wait?

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Right, we're supposed to get wind gusts of forty miles
an hour possible starting late this afternoon or somewhere around now,
and it's going to go through tomorrow afternoon localized gusts
of forty five to fifty And of course Marshall will
join us here in a little bit and we'll get
the very latest on that windshill values. Listen to this

(09:48):
because right now we're forty one. The wind's blowing out
there were you? Yeah, you just you were outside not
too long ago. It's it's it's not about an hour ago.
It's not crazy, No, it's actually nice. It's forty or
so in forty one. Right, it was a little breeze,
but it wasn't obnoxious at all. Well, we're headed for
windshill values of minus five to five above. Shame.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
I can't leave the station for the next few months.
I'm going to stay right in here.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
He's just going to live here. Oh yeah, you shouldn't have.
Hopefully our boss isn't listening, because he might be like, oh, Chuck,
I got a couple of things I can.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Have you do then, since you're going to be If
he knew I was going to be in here that much,
he'd first of all, hide the keys to the vending machines. Yes,
heat me away from the snacks. Yes, you know we
want to keep that. And for goodness sake, don't let
the refrigerator be be rated, because he knows I would
do that.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
So we're to you know, when you go further north,
that's where it could get really bad here in Ohio. However,
we reach all eighty eight counties here in the state.
So I'm just you know, throwing that out there. But
nineteen is going to be the load tonight. But the
wind shill values by tomorrow is going to be the
coldest of the season. I would say, so far for this,
just just be on the lookout for that, just you

(10:59):
know it's coming.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Hey.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
We talked about this for a couple of minutes right
before we were going on, but I thought this is
probably too little, too late for one. Eric Adams, the
New York City Mayor, and I feel like This is
him playing that I better get on the right side
of this incoming administration. But you brought up the Daniel

(11:20):
Penny comment, which is, you know, he's the marine who
is on trial right now. Deliberations going on in that trial.
But so interesting though this story was him reiterating his
desire to reform the city's sanctuary law and he's going
to allow police to assist in the federal agents in

(11:43):
deporting these immigrants. And we saw, you know, a lot
of these. Let's see the governor of California, Knewsima's already
talking about how he's gonna Trump proof the state of California.
I believe there are some other governors as well who
are going to They're going to re exist what Trump's
going to do with regard to rounding up all these immigrants.

(12:04):
And so he confirmed plans he's meeting with Get this,
Eric Adams is going to meet Yes, the New York
City mayor is meeting up with the borders are Tom
Homan and he's going to discuss potential changes. And he
was talking about how frustrated he is with their You
know what, I'm not buying any of this. He's frustrated.
He let all of this happen right on his watch.

(12:26):
We watched how these people are taking over I believe
you know, was it during the summer or even now
some schools they were some in addition to some of
the hotels. They were given these debit cards. All of
these people in the.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Fifty three million dollars to give them debit cards. This
has had nothing to do with a change of beliefs.
This has to do with hearing Donald Trump's administration on
your doorstep and realizing you've already had two senior officials
in the fire department in New York City and two
senior police officials that have all been removed and indicted
in the last way two and a half three months now.

(13:02):
Eric Adams heard Homer when he said, I don't care
if you're a mayor or not. If you're breaking the law,
we'll prosecute you. He does not want to be victim
to that prosecution, so he's playing along to do what
he has to do to survive.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
He ever came across as a guy to me when
I would watch footage of him over these last what
year year and a half, he came across to me
like a guy who was like I don't care what
you think you're going to do. I am the man,
this is my area, and I will.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Do what I want exactly.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
And now it feels like he's like, oh, oh wait
a minute, I could be in trouble and look forgive
me for not keeping up on when he's up for reelection.
But that's something that is going to play into this
as well. We saw based on the voting how there
was more red votes coming out of New York than

(13:52):
in recent memory anyway, And as a result, you're going
to have a lot of people going, hey, Bob, you
better get this right. We're tied of dealing with what
we're watching all all of the things that we're watching
that has happened on your watch, you're okay with with
regard to these immigrants. And now he's saying, oh, I'm
gonna meet up with him. I'm good to go.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
And Gavin Newsom is posturing as well in California. Trust me,
California is all about sunshine and success and when the
Trump economy kicks in and success comes to California that
I'll do it my way. Forget about Trump stuff. The
voters will not put up with that. Gavin newsom will
end himself if he does not conform and play along.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
And then also with the mayor of New York City,
Eric Adams, what was he saying about Daniel Penny.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
He's basically the paraphrase was, this guy was on a
subway threatening people. People were scared. Daniel Penny stepped up
and did what we should have been doing as a city.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
Unbelievable that he's saying that. Now, yeah, what Now?

Speaker 1 (14:54):
Keep in mind it's his prosecutor who's prosecuting Daniel Penny.
So he's going against his own machine by saying that
out loud.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
We live in an alternate universe, do you know that? Yes,
like to witness all of this happening. How many people
are paying attention to that, the people of that area
and then the people who do what we do for
a living, I guess because a lot of the other
people probably aren't even paying this.

Speaker 5 (15:20):
No.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Never mind, well, that town meeting. I don't know if
you were listening when you left here last night. I
was talking about Chicago. You know where that mayor there left.
You know, Democrat Blackmail, who has blamed George W. Bush,
Donald Trump, anybody he can for the state of the
things in Chicago, and a woman stood up at a
council meeting this past week. She's tell Donald Trump to

(15:42):
get to Chicago and make this negro the first thing
to do on his list. We are tired of what
you would. I'm like, wow, that is some pretty strong
stuff coming from a black voter. And you see the
numbers with Donald Trump when it came to the black
and Latino voters, very strong. I'm telling you, man, people
are starting to get the hint we got to watch
out for ourselves and our government has not been doing that,

(16:04):
and they're on board.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
Is she the same one that told him to his
face he needs a pay reduction. Yes, that's the same one.
Because I saw that quote, I was cracking up.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
I'm like, oh man, you can't you know how this
guy has blamed Donald Trump for shootings in Chicago. You've
got the strictest gun laws in the country, and it's
Donald Trump's fault that people are still shooting each other
in the city every day.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
From the Jesse small Att playbook, you know, blame Trump.
I mean, that's why hit the maga, you know, that's
why he was attacked by nobody.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
And those people make me sad. Small. That makes me again.
Cameras are all over, we see everything, we know everything.
You faked it. It even worse now you get exonerated
basically from paying any price. Yeah, it makes me sick.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
News, traffic, whether sports, and the Mark Blazer Show on
six ' ten WTV.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Well, we got some cold, cold, cold weather coming, and
you know tonight that's what you know. We've got this
rain snow mix coming at cheap Videologist Marshall McPeak is
joining us now. And you know, Marshall, the tempts right
now reading forty two degrees outside the studios. And so

(17:25):
it's just bizarre, Like yesterday the wind would like cut
you in a half when it blew, and then today, yeah,
it's cold, but this roller coaster thing. I guess you'd
think I'd be used to this by now, but for
whatever reason, it still gets to me. I'm like, man,
why does this keep happening?

Speaker 6 (17:42):
Then we've got well and now we're trying to get
used to it, and then by February we're it's like,
would just stop already? Right, So I mean, I don't know,
do you ever really get used to this? But it's
going to change a lot over the next twelve hours.
So right now, we've got some rain coming down, mainly
from about Upper Sandusky down to Marion, and that's gonna

(18:03):
keep twenty three pretty wet there. South of that it's
really cloud either. Are a couple of showers over in
Licking County, but central Columbus is still generally dry, but
only for a little while.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
That rain is going to move in here.

Speaker 6 (18:16):
It'll turn into wintery mix in the next few hours
and then into snow overnight tonight. North of Columbus we're
likely to see maybe even up to an inch inch
and a half, and slick spots will develop on some
of the roads during the overnight hours tonights. Bridges and
overpasses definitely gonna have to be watched carefully because you

(18:36):
might see those freezing before anything else. In the meantime,
the wind, the wind chill in Columbus in the morning
is likely to be single digits. Some areas outside of
the outer belt. Are you ready for this could be
below zero?

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Oh no, that's enough out of you, thanks for doning here.

Speaker 6 (18:57):
So I mean tomorrow morning, you're really gonna have to
pay attention. So we don't quite get to the level
of winter weather advisory that needs you know, three inches
of snow and some really slick conditions. But we are
looking at the potential for on and off slick spots
plus wind chills that are in the single digits or colder.
And it stays windy all day twenty eight for the

(19:18):
high tomorrow nineteen again Thursday nights and then thirty two
on Friday.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
So it's gonna be cold for a while. All right, Marshall,
thank you. It is forty two right now. Alex Stone,
ABC News is joining us right now. And Alex, I'm
gonna guess that where you're at it is not forty two.

Speaker 7 (19:38):
Forty two that sounds horrendous. Yeah, I no, what are
we at?

Speaker 8 (19:42):
Seventy one? So but I've got a flee son, and
we're ready for the tomuilch Chilli Chilli day. It is tomorrow.
We're looking at wind chills. But I don't know if
you heard Marshall there, we were looking at wind chills
in the you know, could be getting below zero and
five above.

Speaker 7 (19:58):
Oh how do you live with that?

Speaker 1 (20:02):
You're wearing shorts right now, aren't you?

Speaker 7 (20:05):
Maybe not even that?

Speaker 8 (20:06):
Oh my gosh, Oh.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
This is why we need to stream live on the na.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
Oh Man sit arounder ABC pool right now, right, Yeah,
we know better than that. They're too cheap of a company.
Don't put money for that. We know it's in the
shape of the ABC.

Speaker 8 (20:24):
Meatball was recalling the black logo and the ABC in
the middle.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
I miss that they don't use that much anymore. I
miss that that's a regular logo.

Speaker 8 (20:34):
I mean you see it on at the bottom in
the bottom right hand corner on every show.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
You see again, we were talking about the seventies earlier,
back when the nineteen seventy seven I think it was
they used Orlean song still the one, and that black
ABC logo was all over everything. As we headed into
the fall TV season, it was amazing. ABC was a powerhouse.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
I was gonna put my two cents in for Alex
if you could let the higher ups there know that.
Maybe later at night they start rerunning like Love Boat episodes.
That's what I'm really no, No, the the original ones,
you know, with Gavin mcclos, Captain Steubing and you know

(21:13):
the guy.

Speaker 8 (21:14):
Yeah, I don't know if this suggestion is gonna go anywhere,
but I'll put it in for you.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
Wink. Funny about Gavin mcclanks, Captain Sting. They had every
possible guest on the love boat except Mary Tyler Moore,
which I always thought was funny. Why wouldn't Murray have
Mary on the boat?

Speaker 3 (21:30):
That is a good question while they're attitude. Uh no,
my wife would though, But don't please. Why did you
say that out loud? Because if she's listening, she's gonna
start texting me.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Man, She's sending Alex note right now.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Hey. Uh So I saw this stowaway story and I
was like, if you've flown, you say to yourself, how
in the hell did this happen? Because I'm telling you, man,
I get just short of harassment and I never get,
you know, dinner or anything out of it. Sometimes I'm accosted.
I don't understand how the stowaway happened. Man.

Speaker 8 (22:03):
Yeah, there are quite a few things that don't make
sense and that they've got to figure out. How this
lady seemed to get around multiple different things. There were
multiple failures. Spatlana Dolly is her name, and she is
a Russian citizen. She has legal residency in the US.
She went to JFK Airport in New York, somehow got
through security using the crew member lane where they show

(22:25):
their credentials and then get into the regular lane.

Speaker 7 (22:27):
So she did go through security.

Speaker 8 (22:29):
There is some original thought that maybe she had gone
completely around security. She got into that crew member lane
and then that feeds into the regular lane. She went
through security, but she got beyond the podium where they
show their credentials and go in, and then got beyond
the gate agent who was boarding the Delta flight to Paris,

(22:49):
and was able to go around and get right on
the plane and then on board. She apparently didn't sit
down very much. Rob Jackson was on board, he says,
sor in a flight she was seen moving from one
laboratory to another, never actually going to a passenger seat.
So it's unclear is if she took an open seat
on takeoff or if she was hiding in a bathroom,
which then that would be another failure. The flight attendants

(23:11):
are supposed to check all the bathrooms before you take off,
and then they lock them so it says occupied on
them so nobody can go in and that they know
that they are all empty. We don't know, though, she
may have found an open seat and sat down during
that a few minutes and then got up and started
doing the moving around the bathrooms or she was hiding
in one of them. But eventually flight attendants they figured
out something was right with her.

Speaker 7 (23:32):
They asked for a boarding pass.

Speaker 8 (23:34):
This guy on board says she forever acted like she
was looking for it in her bags.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
She took ten minutes to just tumble her bags to
find a boarding pass, which she did not have at all.

Speaker 8 (23:44):
She didn't have one. She had an old one that
wasn't from that flight that they said, that's not for this.
They landed in France. France did not accept her. She's
been in a holding area to be routed back to
the US. When they put her on a Delta flight
to fly back that didn't go well, she began yell.
It was recorded she claims that she wants asylum away

(24:08):
from the United States, that she doesn't want to go
back to the US. Natalia was on board that flight
trying to get her back to the US.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
She got belligerent, so then Moore Stewart just came in
to try to restrain her, and that's when everything started
to escalate.

Speaker 8 (24:22):
So she was restrained and then got off and she's
back in France again. But the big question now is
how she got beyond that TSA podium. A JFK got
beyond the gate agent without a boarding pass. Maybe was
able to hide out in the bathrooms. The TSA and
Delta air lines they say they're investigating. They don't know
if she's going to be charged, what it's going to be,
but a lot of that remains unknown. Of maybe you
can get around one of them, but how do you

(24:44):
just sneak beyond both of them and nobody see that
she's going around?

Speaker 3 (24:48):
You know, I also think too, I saw, excuse me,
the footage that I saw, it looked like she was
sitting in a seat, which clearly meant maybe the flight
was not all the way full. So I said that
to say, going from bathroom to bathroom I think made
her more conspicuous than had she just stayed in a seat,
even if it wasn't her seat, and you know, especially

(25:11):
if it was before takeoff and all of that. I felt,
I feel like going back and forth because I'm very
I don't know about you, but when I'm on a flight,
I'm watching, like if people start acting weird or doing
weird things, and clearly that's weird going back and forth,
you know, Once or twice you go okay, okay. If
she continues to do that, I think she becomes you know,

(25:34):
more of a conspicuous if you will.

Speaker 8 (25:37):
Yeah, no, absolutely, we were told originally the plate was full,
and that maybe like deadheading, crew may have moved when
they sat her down to start questioning her, knowing something
wasn't right. Yeah, and so they put her in their
seat and then figured everything out. But it may not
have been. You know, when you get on a flight
and the crew always says it's full, and then you're like, well,
I have a seat next to me.

Speaker 7 (25:57):
How was this? They always say one.

Speaker 8 (25:58):
Hundred percent full, so you know, you may have to
check your bag. So it may not have been one
hundred percent. And so maybe there was a seat here
or there that maybe she sat in when they took off,
and that's why she wasn't in one of the bathrooms.
That part's not clear, but they do know that getting
around tsa getting around the boarding agent and then eluding
the flight attendants for a while until they sat her down.

(26:20):
All of that they got to figure out how she
was able to do. She doesn't look, you know, like
a secret agent who was really all that stealthy just looks,
you know, more like she may have some mental things
going on, but how she was able to do it.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
They've got to figure that out.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Yeah, pretty crazy. I like Stone. ABC News out of
Los Angeles, Alex enjoy your seventies.

Speaker 7 (26:39):
You got it. Maybe I'll put on some shorts at
some point.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
It's better than penciless. I guess see you many thanks.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
You fly a lot. I don't fly a lot. I
just do you do you avoid using the bathroom when
you're on a jet.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
Now, I'm not one of those people that's shy about that.
If I gotta go, I'll go. And that's either one
want or to. I don't care.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
I be terrified that right in the middle of things
that we'd hit turbulence.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Well that is that while you're standing there, say you
are you know, first of all, you being a large individual,
you're going to you're gonna go in there and go, well,
I'm gonna get out of here quickly.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Take us up against the walls on either side. I mean,
I'm sure it's small.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
Yeah yeah, man, And but I do think of that
when I'm in there. I'll be like, man, if we
if this plane does a hard bank one way or another.
I am coming out of here, bloody. There is no
other way around it. You just be tossed around in there.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
If I'm ever stowing away on an aircraft, the bathroom
is the last place you will have to worry about
me hiding.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
I'm not going to do it. That's a fat man.
I don't understand how she made it through all of
the security and then the gate agents and then getting up.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
I don't understand it. It's an inside job. It has
to be baggage handler or sister or something like that.
Somebody got her on that plane to hide in the
bathroom until it's a gulf.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
Well, it's funny she gets to France and then be
doing that.

Speaker 9 (27:59):
Love you, yeah, go back, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
All right, thanks for listening. Mark Blazer, Chuck Douglas, and
Don Ross, the retirement boss Ross Wealth Advisors in studio
with us, and you were telling me, were you is
it worth finishing that story on the air, because you know,
we got the queue, like, hey, we got to go on.
But you were telling me we're talking about the wind

(28:39):
gus because Chuck comes in and he goes, you know
those wind gusts. We were just like, yeah, I just
got one and you said it almost knocked you.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Oh, y as soon as I walked out the front
door as I came from the south, and seriously, it
was uh that had to be doing about forty. It
was just a quick gusp, but man, it got me.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
Yeah. And then you were like, I was on a
flight lately, recently or whatever you were talking about. Was
it coming back from Vegas?

Speaker 5 (29:02):
Uh, I wasn't in Vegas. Oh, that was clandestine operations
over there.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
You always I don't know why you try to hide that.
You don't gamble. I'm the gambler. I'm the one with
the problem, not you.

Speaker 5 (29:14):
I gambled on turn nineteen. Watching these Formula one cars
is unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
You went and saw F one there because they do
the race there now yearly. I guess they have eight
more they're going to be doing. I think it's a
ten year deal in Las Vega.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Yeah, they won't miss it because the drivers.

Speaker 5 (29:29):
Actually, I was in the Red Bull area and got
to listen to Max for staffing in Carlos or Perez Thursday,
Perez for Red Bull.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
Of course Max one is fourth championship.

Speaker 5 (29:40):
Okay, but I think on the way out because it's
you know, a longer flight going out, I watched Twisters
since we brought.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Up the wind gus.

Speaker 5 (29:47):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because I ran out of
movies to watch on Southward or West and okay, I'll
watch this. It was actually pretty cool because the love
interest here, she's studying this thing on how to stop
tornadoes from happening. And then the other guy who was
like the rebel stormchaser, he was that pretty boy from
the Maverick Top Gun. Yes, and you know, of course

(30:09):
they met, but it was actually pretty cool how she
designed this thing. And I was entertained. Let's just put
it that way.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
It is.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
It is good. I saw it. But the thing that
you missed out on is the huge screen to watch it,
because it really does add another layer to the whole
movie if you want. And you watched it on a
little screen, no laptop, Yeah, but still not.

Speaker 5 (30:35):
When Joney and I travel in Southwest, we go to
Row fifteen where it's the two seats and then the
empty one.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah, because then I have a.

Speaker 5 (30:42):
Little extra elbow room, right, So yeah, that's our that's
our go to. Like tomorrow, we're taking a flight and
we'll run back to row fifteen.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
So oh, you're at you're on row fifteen.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
Yeah, we're in.

Speaker 5 (30:54):
Yeah, there's just two seats and then there's the blank seat,
and then there's the fuselage wall. Right, that's exciting. You're
so calm about this.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
The last thing I would watch if I was in
the air moving at six hundred miles an hour is
any sort of disaster movie. I would want to see.
Nothing but just something pleasant.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
I just I'll see I watch people like you know,
you can look across the road and see kind of
spy on people what they're watching. They have their laptop
flipped open. I'm not kidding. I've watched people watching air disasters. No,
right on there. I'm like, are you are you stupid?
And some people would subscribe to uh, hey, man, do

(31:32):
you think not watching that's gonna help you? But it's
just a it's like what you're either you have nerves
of steel or you're just you're you're an idiot. I
don't understand why you would want to. And these are
by the way, it's not a movie. It's air disa
it's like actual things.

Speaker 5 (31:53):
Yeah, that has show and I'm like, whah, it's a
quite fascinating show. Right up there with my six hundred
Pound Life. Do you watch that one I have?

Speaker 1 (32:02):
I'm diverting here. Sorry, I can't watch those either. That's
wait air Disaster hundred pound Life. I can't I now.
Actually it fascinates me.

Speaker 5 (32:11):
Now people think this guy's weird because you know, our
powerful brain can do we can become an Arnold Schwarzenegger,
or we can be well, now there's thousand pounds sisters.
So it just goes to show you how powerful the
mind is. Because one of the one of the girls said,
I thought if I had die of coked, reverse the
peach that I had.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
I mean, that's the educator. That's what they literally, No,
those are the people that put the camper on cruise
control and go back to take a nap. That's yeah,
it doesn't work that way. Oh that happened once. Oh yeah,
I know. That's that's uh okay. All the reality stuff
out there, though I don't like any of it.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
Wasn't that Anchorman three when he did that. They like
all go in the back and sit down because it's
it has a auto pilot or cruise control, and so
Will Ferrell's character. They go back and they sit down
and there's a deep fryer in it, and the thing
clearly ends up going sideways and flipping, and then it's

(33:08):
slow motion. During that scene and stuff, there's there's a
bowling ball sitting by them, and so as this thing
is doing you know, tumbling, as it's start, you know,
the bowling ball comes by in the side of it,
and then hot grease comes fly because there's of course
there's a you know, a deep fryer that they have.
I thought maybe, yeah, I think that's the one exactly.

(33:33):
But yeah, that's your to your point, Chuck, you're you're right.
There are people that probably do that as.

Speaker 5 (33:39):
Well, or have done. I just look at welfare and
I laugh. Yes, I mean I watched the Elf of
course recently. Who's gonna get the star in the tree?

Speaker 1 (33:46):
I got it? He runs out and the tree falls over.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
My man. My kids love that.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
They Yeah, I'm singing. I'm singing to my dad.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
I love you.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
Okay, you better take over? Is that?

Speaker 3 (34:01):
Okay? Can I take over? Okay? What was I all?
I did send a note to you earlier and the
So we're seeing a lot about the proposed tariffs that
Donald Trump, and that is that's the leftt talking point
right now, saying Uh, this is a disaster. It's gonna
send us further into I'm like, how could we get

(34:23):
any worse than things are going right now with regard
to our economy.

Speaker 5 (34:27):
Do you want to listen to those people, they've pretty much,
you know, killed our economy or our country.

Speaker 4 (34:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
Yeah, And that's the talking point for them right now
with regard to the proposed tariffs. I don't know if
you saw this yet or we didn't even get a
chance to bring it up, but I thought it was
hilarious that I believe it was at mar A Lago
that Justin Trudeau, who's a Canada primist, he's there and
basically he's talking about and I'm paraphrasing, he said, the

(34:53):
twenty five percent tariffs to the tune of around four
billion dollars is kind of what they figured out with
regard to how it would hit Canada. And he talked
about how that would basically just ruin them. And Trump
was saying, well, look, if you need to basically survive
off the backs of the United States, maybe we should

(35:15):
just take over Canada, make it the fifty first state,
and you can be the governor. He's what he was
telling Justin Trudeau, and from what I understand, I didn't
see the video. I don't even know if there is video,
but he was kind of nervously, kind of nervously laughing
as Trump said this to him. And then, you know,
so the proposed tariffs, that's the talking point for a
lot of the left right now, who are saying, we're

(35:37):
in big trouble if he does this, and we know
what you know, he's talking about with Mexico as well,
and he's starting there and clearly it's going to go
farther out as we get into his presidency. But that's
why I was going to ask you the Federal Reserve,
it's talking about may not align with the president's goals
and so on and so forth. But i'd sent you

(35:58):
that note earlier asking you about it, and you said
that you would look into it. Yeah, so what did
you find?

Speaker 1 (36:05):
Nothing? No kidding, So all right, let's talk about it.
So what are the things that Trump ran on?

Speaker 5 (36:11):
Drove baby, drill, catch in the poor, build the wall
in tariffs because you know they're taking advantage of us. Correct,
It's a negotiating tool, plain and simple. So you negotiate
and you you okay, what's your offer what's your counter, and.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
This and at it. So it's a negotiating tool.

Speaker 5 (36:27):
But you know, you look at countries like China that
will dump products into an economy and force everybody out.
So you have to control that. And like I said
earlier today, remember what I said, the adults are back
in charge.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
Yes, okay, the.

Speaker 5 (36:39):
Left are going to come up with anything, and we've
seen how they operate. And and you know what, America
spoke and said, we're done with that. And uh, you know,
much much has been. Many people hate Trump, they're going
to benefit from his presidency and leadership. Also, yes, I
understand that the Mexican president. Her response was something about, yeah, yeah,

(37:00):
we'll shutup the border, you know, and avoid some tariffs.
I assume since Justin Trudeau went down to visit him
at mar A Lago, they probably have a decent relationship. Otherwise,
you tell them the palace sold from Canada. It's not
gonna it's not gonna hurt the economy. Okay, that's what
you're asking. Yeah, basically that's that is maybe a touch inflationary,

(37:21):
but they're calling it transitory.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
I don't like that word. Every time I hear that word,
I win I'm like, no, I don't know, know there
is when you're talking about taxes or a hike or
there is no such thing as transitory.

Speaker 5 (37:35):
They love making up words. Yeah, how big pivot was
and uh the COVID, But how about strategicy?

Speaker 3 (37:41):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (37:42):
So no, No, we're gonna benefit from a guy that's
gonna put him surround himself with very intelligent people that
are doers and gonna get stuff done.

Speaker 3 (37:53):
Today is December fourth, Tomorrow will be December fifth. December
fifth is one month roughly from November fifth, the election.
What have you seen since then with regard to the market,
Because being with you know, Ross Wealth Advisors investing and
so on, that's something that clearly you pay a lot
of attention to that, you know, people's portfolio of blah

(38:15):
blah blah all of that stuff. But what are you
seeing right now? Is there anything definitive once that's happened. Hey,
Trump gets elected, Wow, we got the Senate. Wow, we're
holding onto the house. Like what kinds of things, if any,
are you seeing from that?

Speaker 5 (38:28):
Well, what we're seeing is that we know what's going
to happen as far as regulatory issues and when companies
are not as handcuffed as usual. They're going to want
to spend and they know that some tax breaks are
going to come, and so that's why the market's been very.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
Good for now.

Speaker 5 (38:48):
But you know, we're third year into a fairly nice
bull market. And I'm not giving advice on the air,
off course, but the idea of having investing in the
stock market is you need to be diversified. And you
know that's my disclaimer of diversified and own good stocks
and rebalance and have a good plan, whether you're do
it yourself or because I will say this, stocks always

(39:12):
win long term. There's a lot of people selling gold
and you know, I sometimes say gold's and ice for
you know, for jewelry and fillings. But it's got the
volatility of a risky portfolio with you know, yields of treasury.
So I love the stock market and everybody should like

(39:32):
the stock market. You just have to understand what you're
doing and if you don't want to do yourself, because
there's some very smart dew yourselfers out there, you know,
all walks of life, but there's some that just have
no idea. You know, hey, I'm going to put it
in my four O one K which is where most
people have their life settings, right, And I'm going to
pick these different funds and hopefully it works, and it
does over time. It's one of the greatest wealth creation

(39:54):
tools known to mankind.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
So why don't we have five twenty nine programs for
your kids for stocks? Why do we? Why don't we?
I mean, we got five twenty nine to save for college.
But as college becomes less and less apparently necessary, wouldn't
it be great your kid is born and you start
a little stock portfolio for their retirement. By the time
they're thirty, they've got a few million, and you've set

(40:16):
them up for life instead of saving for college. You
have diversity A good point.

Speaker 5 (40:21):
I mean five twenty nine are a nice plan. Inside there,
you can buy you know, Vanguard funds, so you can
buy stock market exposure. It's sheltered, it's all tax defer
right until you take it out for legitimate college expenses,
not beer and gas money.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
But it's a great tool.

Speaker 5 (40:38):
I did one for my daughter, and if you don't
use it for one kid, you can transfer to another child.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
But if you don't use it for college, then it's
no longer sheltered. Correct.

Speaker 5 (40:48):
True, true, So some people may leave it there for
twenty years and say, hey, I'm gonna use it for
my retirement, pay the little penalty or something like that.
But this is now getting into case by case right, right,
And that's why it's.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
Not a blanket answer.

Speaker 5 (41:01):
Yeah, that's why as an independent advisor we can custom
design a portfolio. It's different than yours, different than Chucks, Yeah,
different than you know, Wildman's act in all. That's the
beauty of why it's so individualized.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
Right.

Speaker 3 (41:14):
He has yet to figure out what to do with
my twenty dollars. That's why he's said.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
Twenty laughed after the Las Vegas trip, Well, it was ten,
I made it twenty.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
Oh Okay, he doubled it for me. He doesn't do
that for everybody. So please, if you call eight three
to three don Ross eight three three d o n Ross,
don't expect them to double what you're bringing to the table.
Just please don't. He only did that for me. He
made my ten dollars turn into twenty one hundred percent profit.
That was pretty sweet, pretty nice, amazing, Yeah, pretty nice?

Speaker 1 (41:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
Sports and the Mark Blazer Show on six ' ten WTVN.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
Well, I know what I'm going to get you. Don Ross,
the retirement boss from Ross Welth Advisors. I know what
I can get you for for Christmas. Oh, Miller High
Life is make in a cologne and they claim it
smells like a dive bar. So I was thinking, Joni
would love that smell on you.

Speaker 10 (42:07):
I think I've had a bourbon smell. Wait a minute,
I already have that. You do, already have that? No problem.
Chief Meteorologist Marshall McPeak joining us. Now, Marshall, this is
a this is a true story. Miller Life rolling out
a colonne that will let you proudly wear it around town.

Speaker 3 (42:23):
It claims here it's Miller High Life dive bar fume.
It's going on sale. A bottle is going to run
you forty dollars. No, you can't drink it. Well, you
can drink it. I don't know that taste. Maybe not
recommend it. No, listen to this. They've blended a variety
of scents and cedar wood and petuli are included to

(42:47):
bring the smell of the bar top to mind. According
to this, cedar wood in petoli, which is you know
that oil that you usually I associate that with hippies.
It seems like yeah, okay, yeah, that's fair. People that
follow the Grateful Dead is what comes to mind from me. Yeah,
the Petuli oil, Yeah yeah, it's meant to cover up

(43:10):
body odor because they're they follow the band so long
they really don't have a chance to shower much. And
that's where I went with that from a long time ago. Anyway. Also,
in this another blended variety, tobacco and leather are blended
and to recreate the barstool smell. According to this.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
The barstool smell, I want to know about that.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
So the barstool in a dive bar is supposed to
smell like tobacco and leather, and I think that's probably
the farthest from what it smells like.

Speaker 1 (43:39):
Well, who wouldn't sniffed all these barstools? My question?

Speaker 3 (43:42):
I don't know. And what do they pay you for
that job?

Speaker 1 (43:46):
No kidding, not enough? Maybe for free. I want to
be the one to do.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
That, I guess. Yeah, if that's some sort of a
I just.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
Think it's gonna smell like a frat basement.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
So yes, they also and Marshall, you're you're usually you
you know what? The do you know what? And I
might be saying it wrong. Chimpaca blossom. Chimpaca blossom.

Speaker 7 (44:08):
Gotta look that up.

Speaker 3 (44:09):
C h A m p A c A chimpaca blossom
included to recreate the smell of a Miller High Life opening.
And they're talking about when you crack open a beer
that it gets it somehow gets that scent out of
when you crack it open with that champacup blossom, like
new car smell, new beer smell, the new beer smell.

(44:32):
That's that would be a way to describe it. Yes,
then sea salt meant to bring the smell of a
basket of fries or the final blend in this. I
don't understand how that this kind of thing is just
so outrageous that maybe people will buy it. I wish
you all the best at your Halloween Christmas party with that, right, Yeah?

Speaker 1 (44:53):
Thanks Lon?

Speaker 3 (44:54):
Yeah, what's that smell you started?

Speaker 1 (44:57):
Was it Miller, like you said, Miller High Life, Miller
High Life, champagne of beer. What kind of bottle does
this coming? Because if it's not a twelve ounce long neck,
I don't think they you.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
Know, they would probably have to do that.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
That's the marketing I would take with something like that.
You'd have to now here's.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
The next problem.

Speaker 6 (45:12):
So you're driving along and you missed the stop sign
and you get pulled over.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
The boy great white bosh smell like beer.

Speaker 6 (45:19):
Yeah, I mean they're gonna have questions.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
Step by the car, please forty dollars.

Speaker 3 (45:26):
Forty dollars for this bottle, will run you forty bucks.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
I'll be regifting that, Thank you, Blase, and then.

Speaker 3 (45:33):
They pay for your ticket, right right, uh yeah, Kay.

Speaker 6 (45:38):
Be careful on the roads tonight because it is gonna
be a little slick during the overnight hours.

Speaker 3 (45:44):
Right now, it's warm enough.

Speaker 6 (45:45):
This is all some rain, and it's rolling up through
northern Union County up into marrying some of that Intomorrow County.
Busyrus has had a little bit. Mansfield's got some wet roads.
We're relatively dry here in Columbus at the moment, but
this is all gonna move in during the rest of
the evening. So we get this wintery mix as the
temperatures fall and then it turns into snowshowers. Best chance
for accumulation mainly north of Columbus. We may get a

(46:08):
little bit here in town, but maybe up to an
inch er a little more up near Marian and b Cyrus.
And some slick roads are going to be possible for
your morning commute on Thursday, so plan on a little
extra time, give it an opportunity to slow down.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
And it is going to be cold in the morning.

Speaker 6 (46:23):
Wind chills in some areas might even dip below zero
first thing in the morning. Everybody else in the single digits,
so really layer up tomorrow a couple of flurries. Finishing
up tomorrow morning in the afternoon only gets to twenty
eight degrees Friday thirty two, thirty eight on Saturday.

Speaker 3 (46:41):
All right, thanks marshall, it's forty three right now. Yeah,
suspiciously absent from some of the things that would make
up that Miller High Life cologne. There's no they don't mention.
You know, he's supposed to smell like a dive bar,
but there's no mention of puke, which you would think
would somehow have to be mixed up. But then would

(47:02):
you really want to wear it? But then, you know
the way that they describe.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
It, somebody out there just went, yes, yes, I would.
It'll cover up the other odor.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
When they describe cedar would and petuli and tobacco and leather,
you go, okay, that's not the worst thing as far
as the smell goes on the planet. But the way
that they're saying it smells like a dive bar, it's
like what.

Speaker 1 (47:26):
I'll tell you what.

Speaker 5 (47:27):
I will bring one when it comes out, and we'll
taste tested. I mean, we'll smell tested. We'll put it
on you. How about that.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
You know that it does smell different with different people's
you know, pheromones.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
Well, we'll see what it tastes smells like in you.
That was all the rage at one time too, colognes
that were smelled different on different people based on your
body chemistry.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
They do, though, actually all of them, I think. I mean,
like you could put on English leather and I could
put on English leather, and you know, I know you
already wear it done. English leather. I know that's your
go too.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
Oh my Minway English leather. H they wear nothing at all. Uh,
this isn't that. Don't you remember that?

Speaker 3 (48:06):
I do?

Speaker 2 (48:07):
I do.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
Remember. Well, I'll bring that in for him and then
I'll bring you and me a bottle of bourbon. I
had some English leather back in the day, you know,
I kind of miss English leather. Yeah, old spice my
dad had that.

Speaker 3 (48:17):
Oh yeah, would.

Speaker 5 (48:18):
I'd take the ceramic jar and then shoot the BB
gun at it.

Speaker 1 (48:21):
I loved it.

Speaker 5 (48:21):
He'd finished old spice. I played sniper at eight years old.

Speaker 3 (48:26):
What is the uh what do you wear?

Speaker 4 (48:29):
Now?

Speaker 3 (48:29):
It's like some sort I think you were telling me.
It's just basically like I don't even know what is
in the acts kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
Body spray things that basically about for the grandsons, and
I got a cabinet full of it at home, so
I just grabbed one.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
Is that something that the queen likes?

Speaker 1 (48:43):
Yeah, she's okay with it.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
Yeah, I didn't know if like, because I don't see
see the chuck. You're a little bit older than me,
and the chuck that I've known all these years, I
feel like you're not a guy who would just do
an axe body spray. So I wonder if she was involved.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
First of all, buying colognes it after shaves is so
difficult anymore, because you know, you go in the store,
you can't find them, or they're locked behind glass and
you have to wait for somebody to come unlock the glass,
and by that time, you know you're too old to
care about cologne anymore. And so yeah, it's just it's
hard to grass. So I had the stuff with the
Grand so and I'm like, I'll just grab one of these,
and I don't care. I am I'm old in my taste.

(49:21):
You mentioned old spice. I still like old spices. It's
actually pretty good, believe it or not. I still I
would be happy with English leather. I use swagger, old spice,
spice swagger. But they have all these different scents. It's
not like the original old Spice where it was one scent.
Everything's now they have, you know, oh my gosh, all
the different titles for all the different I like the

(49:43):
bath and body work stuff. The trouble is, as soon
as I find something I really like, they discontinue that
scent always. They had one called Bourbon that I liked
that it disappeared and dark amber and they quit making
that scent. So, you know, unless you buy enough to
get you through the rest of your life, don't get
it attached, right, because they're going to take them away
in a year or so and go to something new.

Speaker 3 (50:04):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (50:05):
By the way, Julian the Cruse director is still alive.
I just want to let you guys know.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
From the Love book.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
Yes checked, she's substantially different in appearance. Now, oh my god,
it she looks hit a rough adult life out. Look
at me right now, don stare at me. Now, picture
me with a blonde wig. There you go.

Speaker 3 (50:22):
There she is.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
Yeah. Yeah, time is not bad. I can't get rid
of that picture my head at the only two dead
members of the love Boat are Captain Stubing and Doc.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
Okay, Resta're all alive.

Speaker 1 (50:34):
Doc was a swabby dude, wasn't he.

Speaker 5 (50:36):
Yeah, come into my office.

Speaker 3 (50:40):
Yeah. So we were talking. We went to break and
I thought it was interesting. Don Ross Ross Wealth Advisors
in the studio eight three three, Don Ross, and you
were saying, we, you know, earlier I brought up you know,
Wall Street and what's going and you're like, it's up
over forty five thousand, the dolls at forty five and
some change. And you were like, man, when I started

(51:01):
doing this, thirty what would you eight? Yeah? And you
were like, it was like four thousand the dow was
and when you when you see the like how it
is today, it's crazy, right, I mean something like that.

Speaker 5 (51:14):
Stocks win, I you know, stocks win long term? Yeah,
diverse five portfolio rebounce regularly. Don't chase returns.

Speaker 3 (51:24):
Then and also too we were talking about and I
don't know, I never asked you even about crypto or
what you think about that, because there are a lot
of people that think it's trash and like why would
you mess with that? Or you know, and I don't
know where you're at on that I and I don't
mean to put you on spot if you don't really
want to talk about it, you don't, you know, But
I we brought it up because you know, Chuck knows

(51:45):
I have some doge doge coins do which I thought
was hilarious that you know Elon and and vivek are
you know it's the Department of Government Efficiency called Doge.
But Elon was that I think a guy who kind
of actually sparked that back in the day. And I
still have some of that. Yeah, Chuck, you brought it
up because you were like, hey man, that's that's up

(52:06):
over like forty three cents.

Speaker 1 (52:08):
I share, yeah, like forty two right now.

Speaker 3 (52:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
But I mean if you bought it and it went
to one hundred bucks, it doesn't have to achieve Bitcoin levels,
you would still have a nice dinner that night. That's
when you're buying something that low whether it's a stock
or whatever. Yeah, and then the way the world is
right now, who knows what they're gonna do. They could
tank or they could go go crazy.

Speaker 5 (52:30):
Right in my in my world, you know, I'm hoping
people manage their life savings. You know, they're predominantly retired
or approaching retirement, and we're you know, well, someone to
ask about crypto.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
But it's rare. It's rare.

Speaker 5 (52:41):
You know, the people were attracted to or attracted us
or are you know, they worked hard, they're all life,
they're all walks of life as far as careers. They
don't want to take risks now if they wanted to say, oh,
hey let's do you know, half a percent of our
net worth and let's buy crypto. Or I had one
client about three years ago, Hey I want to buy
some marijuana stock. Okay, sign This disclosure was not an

(53:02):
offer for me. And of course, you know these stocks
dropped like crazy. We didn't put his net worth in it,
so I'm not going to use it, but I'm not
gonna poopoo it. Some people like that, right, that's for them.
It's just not for me. Where I'm advising clients on
their life savings.

Speaker 3 (53:17):
I have never heard of marijuana stock. Yeah, that's the
first time I've ever.

Speaker 1 (53:21):
Heard of you buy.

Speaker 5 (53:21):
Yeah, there's companies that you can buy stocks, or maybe
a fund of different stocks. But again, do it as
a small percentage of your overall right, you know, investible assets,
you know. Not Oh this is gonna hit big and
I'm gonna put everything in it. That would just absolutely
be insane. Okay, you know, but stocks win over time,

(53:42):
they just they just do.

Speaker 3 (53:44):
So that's cool.

Speaker 1 (53:45):
The whole concept of a marijuana stock, I mean, it's
still illegal at a federal level. Marijuana dispensaries cannot take
credit cards or anything. They got to do everything cash.
They can't have bank accounts because of the federal level.
It's an illegal activity. But to be able to buy
stock in it exacts really odd.

Speaker 3 (54:01):
Seems a little loosey goosey here.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
Yeah, I think I'd wait till they tighten that rule
book down a little bit on that joke.

Speaker 3 (54:07):
On that, I think so too. Well, I don't know,
do we ever get to where it's legal at a
federal level.

Speaker 1 (54:14):
Oh yeah, you think at some point as long as
there's money to be made.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
Oh yeah, well, there's been money to be made off,
but think about it. But there's a story that you know,
I keep seeing. Now, what is what's happening to the
ten million dollars a month that Ohio is collecting? Yeah,
right now from you know, all of the Marijuan good question,
I mean, it's crazy.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
Only question they ask about what's happening to all the
lottery money since the seventies? You know, I'm sure it's
disappearing into some hole somewhere.

Speaker 3 (54:42):
You know. Some of these people, some of these dispensaries too,
are I saw on the thing They're like, yeah, they
can't collect any of this for two years, and I'm
just like staring at the TV, going, is this really happening?
I mean, clearly, you know, color me somebody who doesn't
really pay attention to that kind of stuff. Until I
hear like that, I go, if you're a dispensary, though,

(55:03):
like you're not gonna benefit from that, you know, as
far as that type of for two years, You've got
to sit it out for two more years. And I'm like,
what's going on for two years with that?

Speaker 1 (55:12):
Man?

Speaker 3 (55:13):
